(Second update) In the early morning, when a ray of morning light shines on the earth, Lanjing City becomes lively. The silent night has left. People are going about their work. The vendors have prepared the goods they will prepare today early.

Take it to the market to sell, and the merchants selling breakfast also get up early and make breakfast. It seems that no one in Lanjing City is idle, and everyone has their own things to do.

Of course, the most lively thing is the carriages that go to the palace for the morning court every morning. The carriages are decorated with splendor and are not much cheaper than any mansion. Although Zhang Xiang doesn't care about these false reputations, for the sake of Zhang Mansion's face,

I still prepared a carriage for myself. It was not considered rich, but it was not shabby either. Early in the morning, Zhang Shuo and Zhang Zhiyuan got into the carriage and hurried to the Jinluan Hall of the palace for the morning court meeting.

Dongsheng Kingdom has a vast territory and fertile land. It occupies a quarter of the plain area of ​​Taiqing Continent. Although it has never been measured, it is no less than tens of billions of square kilometers and has a population of hundreds of billions. As the saying goes, one area is nourished by water and soil.

People, the people of Dongsheng Kingdom are generally richer in proportion, so there are naturally a lot of officials, and the scene is even bigger. In the early morning, you can see thousands of carriages lined up one after another, along the special road.

Passage towards the palace, this is only part of

It was the first time that Zhang Zhiyuan saw such a magnificent scene. Naturally, he was a little excited. From time to time, he opened the curtains on the carriage and looked at everything around him with curious eyes, including the road specially used for officials to go to the morning.

Made of good granite, it costs a lot of money

After the carriage entered the palace, it strictly followed the designated passage. After all, the entire palace was too big. If you wanted to walk, you would definitely miss the morning court time, so letting the carriage drive in the palace was a last resort.

When there were still two kilometers away from the Jinluan Palace, Prime Minister Zhang and a group of high-ranking officials got off the carriage and started walking. This is the palace, and necessary respect is indispensable. The carriages were handed over to the palace.

The eunuch takes care of

According to the division of time in the human world, at exactly eight o'clock, all the officials appeared on the Golden Palace, holding the invitation slips in their hands, standing neatly to welcome the emperor's appearance.

The whole country of Dongsheng believes in Taoism, so the emperor is always accompanied by two Taoist priests. Although the two Taoist priests follow the emperor and don't talk much, as soon as they speak, the emperor is not able to object. This is the Taoist sect in Dongsheng.

country's influence

First, there were two old Taoists with childish faces and white hair, each holding a green willow branch in their hands. When they came out of the back hall of the palace, they saw him waving the green willow branch casually, and a stream of fragrant fragrance spread into the entire hall.

, and the places they walked through were also full of fantasy, with eighteen lifelike golden dragons surrounding them. Then the emperor, accompanied by two handsome and beautiful maids, walked out. The golden dragons surrounded him so beautifully that his spirit was a little relaxed.

He looked sluggish, but his spirits suddenly became high.

After the emperor sat firmly on the dragon chair, two old Taoists with childlike faces and gray hair stood beside him, each of them closed their eyes and rested. However, one of the old Taoists suddenly sent a message to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, although we have great power,

, but if you play songs every night, although it will not affect your longevity, it will still drain your body. In addition, you only eat ginseng, abalone, bird's nest and other supplements for three meals a day. Your body is too weak, so if you don't take supplements, please give it a try.

Take care of your dragon body, beauty is just a fleeting thing, your Majesty, don’t focus on it.”

The emperor's internal strength is not weak. On the surface, he looks extremely weak and his eyes are withered, but this does not affect his internal strength, which was forcibly lifted up with the genius earth treasure. His eyes flashed, and he said in a slightly respectful voice: "Tao

What I have said is true. I will rest in the royal study tonight and will not go to the land of peach blossoms."

"That's very good." The Taoist priest agreed with a lukewarm voice, and then said no more words.

When all the high officials in the court saw the emperor sitting firmly on the throne, they knelt down one by one and shouted loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live the emperor!"

The emperor raised his hands flat and said loudly with his inner strength: "Everyone, I love you, please be safe." The high officials in the court stood up one by one, and the emperor said again: "If you have anything to do, please report, if you have nothing to do, leave the court."

As in the past, there were very few people who were really troubled, so the Border Chief Secretary, who was on good terms with Zhang, stood up, raised his arms, held a ginseng slip and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Please play." The emperor's eyes flashed, obviously knowing why the Chief Secretary wanted to play.

"I heard that a tribe called Tianci on the Mulan Grassland in the north is waging war everywhere. In three years, it has swallowed up more than ten tribes around it, and it has the potential to dominate the Mulan Grassland. I also ask the emperor to make preparations in advance and send fierce generals to guard the border.

So that the ambitious Tianci tribe can give up the idea of ​​going south to invade our Dongsheng Kingdom as soon as possible."

The Chief Secretary's words reached the frontier general Ao Lie. He felt extremely uncomfortable. Without thinking, he stood up and said loudly: "Master Li, your words seem to be aimed at me! Send strong generals to guard the border."

, can’t I, Ao Lie, be unable to guard the border?"

Li Guangbo, an all-rounder, chuckled and said: "General Ao has misunderstood me. It's just that the general has been responsible for guarding the western border for many years and does not know about the war in the north, so it is inconvenient to send you. Besides, you already have someone to guard the west."

As for the border mission, if I ask you, my lord, to guard the north, I'm afraid that your lordship will not be able to do both jobs perfectly."

"You..." Ao Lie was about to get angry, but the emperor said loudly: "What the Chief Secretary said is true. General Ao is indeed not suitable to guard Northern Xinjiang again, but I can't think of anything good for a while.

As for the candidate, I wonder if any of you, dear friends, can recommend a strong general to me?"

The Zhang family, which is famous for its intelligence, is really powerful. They had already communicated with the emperor yesterday. At this time, Zhang stood up and said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I have a strong general who I want to recommend to you. I am not bragging.

This person's martial arts skills are unparalleled, even a master at the peak of his innate nature cannot withstand one punch from this person."

The emperor pretended to be surprised and said: "Is there really such a strange person?" The two Taoists standing next to the emperor opened their eyelids slightly, and a ray of light flashed through their hearts. They thought to themselves: "Even the innate masters can't withstand his punch.

If Zhang Shuo hadn't exaggerated this person's skill, then this person must be a fellow member of the Jindan period. But that's not right. There has never been a fellow member of the Taoist sect who would directly send someone from the sect to serve as an official in the court. Generally, this is not the case.

Are they all secretly assisting?"

Zhang Shuo said loudly: "There is indeed this person, and he is waiting in the side hall. As long as the emperor sends someone to bring him up, he can perform a trick or two for the ministers on the spot." Zhang Xiang moved his eyes to Ao Lie, revealing
