Chapter 724 The sudden arrival of Chi Yuanan

"So, this is the new plan proposed by your Council of Elders?"

Above the Government Hall, after Joshua displayed the "Visual Teleportation Array", Mr. Lin Qige slowly said: "What you mean is that you want to create a large enough visible teleportation array on the day of the Zhongzhong Ceremony.

Portal, and then connect the Tulip Imperial Capital with the palace of our Dawu Imperial Capital.

In this way, our Majesty can achieve the effect of coming to the Tulip Imperial Capital in disguise without leaving the palace.

Messenger Joshua, did I understand wrongly?"

"That's basically what it means."

The tulip envoy smiled slightly.

"What's the point?"

Centaur General Wells was full of surprise, "You have to let the people of the Tulip Capital see the true form of my Majesty?"

"This is a sacred ancient ritual."

Joshua still spoke the same way and looked serious.

But in fact... he didn't know that this was a national crisis, and those dignitaries of the Council of Elders still cared about the ancient ritual of a hammer, and their attitude was so tough. But he, Joshua, was just a diplomat. What orders did he give from above?

, he just did it.

"This matter will be discussed later."

Li Guanqi, who was sitting on the throne, looked down at Joshua and said calmly: "As for the alliance between the Dawu Dynasty and the Tulip Empire, I need time to consider it. Don't worry, the time will not be too long. Because of this, if

If the envoy has time, he will stay in the imperial capital for a few days, and I will summon you again then."

"Does Emperor Wu still have any doubts?"

Joshua looked up at him.

"That's right."

Li Guanqi nodded lightly, with an indifferent expression, "Is it possible that the Tulip Empire can't even wait a few days?"

"Of course we can afford to wait, but will the Empress of Chu wait for us?"

Joshua said in a deep voice: "Emperor Wu, you and I both know how long the Great Wall can be opened. It will not exceed two and a half months at most. This time is not too long. We don't have much time to delay.

Please Emperor Wu make a decision as soon as possible and fight against Chu together!"

"indeed."

Li Guanqi leaned against the throne and waved his hand, "Come, please send the envoy back to his residence. It's a good time to entertain people."

"...Xie Wu Emperor."

Seeing his attitude, Joshua could only bow his head and salute, "Since Emperor Wu still needs time to think about it, I will stay in Emperor Wu's capital for the next few days and wait for Emperor Wu's summons at any time."

After saying that, the Tulip envoy turned and left, leaving the political hall.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Mr. Lin Qige walked out of the crowd, looked up at Li Guanqi, and said softly: "I still have the original opinion. This alliance is definitely a fraud."

"But what's the motive?"

Randall next to him frowned, "I also think there is a problem, but Mr. Lin Qige, forgive me for being stupid. Faced with today's situation, I really can't think of any reason why the Tulip Empire would treat us.

Start? Once we fall, won't their hope become even slimmer when facing the Empress of Chu?"

"Maybe Tulip didn't want to fight against the Empress of Chu at all?"

At this time, some officials expressed their opinions.

"They want to surrender to Chu?"

"Otherwise? If they really want to attack us, there will only be one outcome - taking the remains of our Dawu Dynasty as a pledge of allegiance to the Empress of Da Chu."

"Indeed, it makes sense."

"But why? In their eyes, surrendering to Da Chu is not as good as surrendering to our Dawu Dynasty?"

"It doesn't make sense. With the humble posture of the Eight Kingdoms Pillars now, I don't think the elders of Tulip want to end up in the same situation."

"But if that's not the case, why would Tulip have any reason to plot against us?"

"Maybe... the guess was wrong from the beginning. The Tulip Empire is really sincere and just cares about ancient rituals?"

"The grassroots people may regard ancient rituals as more important than anything else, but how can those members of the Elder Council stick to the so-called ancient rituals?"

"That's right, in the Tulip Empire, the whole country believes in the goddess of light, but if you go and see, who among those cardinal-level archbishops in the Holy See truly believes in God? They don't believe in God at all. The so-called belief in gods and ancient rituals are all based on

They are here to restrain the people at the bottom, how can they, the top nobles, care!"

"The Great Chu is watching with eager eyes, and the Tulip Elder Council still attaches great importance to ancient rituals. There is no logic at all."

"But……"

"enough!"

Above the main hall, the discussion among the civil and military officials was finally interrupted by a low shout from Li Guanqi.

Including Elder Lin Qi and Randall, all the officials in the palace raised their heads slightly and glanced at Emperor Dawu who was sitting on the throne.

"The discussion on this matter ends here."

Li Guanqi leaned against the throne and said softly: "I have my own thoughts on forming an alliance with the Tulip Empire, but as I just said, I still need a few days. By then, I will give you an answer. As for now...retreat

Come on, everyone, go and do your own business."

"..."

The ministers looked at each other in shock.

But in the end, they all lowered their heads and bowed to Li Guanqi.

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

Having said that, the hundreds of officials exited one after another and left the hall, except for...the sheep-headed man wearing a red official robe. His clan was not noble, because he had a fluffy white sheep head.

But it looks quite pleasing to the eye.

"Um?"

Li Guanqi looked at the goat man with some confusion.

He remembered the other party. This goat-man official was basically responsible for the management of the Dongyang Islands. The situation of each island in the Dongyang Islands would be reported to the goat-man by the supervisor. If there was anything worth mentioning, the goat-man would report it to

Li Guanqi.

"Something happened to the Toyo Islands?"

Li Guanqi was a little curious.

"Reply to His Majesty."

The goatman official lowered his head and saluted, and then said: "It's Lanxin Island. Lanxin Island is a small island located in the south of the Dongyang Islands. Just 7 days ago, the chief guard of Lanxin Island, a man named 'Chi'

People from Yuan'an have submitted a memorial to ask for an audience with His Majesty.

After the cabinet handled the memorial on its behalf, it rejected the request for an audience with Officer Chi Yuan on the grounds that Your Majesty was in retreat at the time.

However, he never gave up these days, and even claimed to Wei Chen that he had an old relationship with Your Majesty, your senior sister, and was your Majesty's old friend, so Wei Chen was a little unsure.

At this time, His Majesty was out of confinement, so I dared to ask Your Majesty whether this matter was true?

If the words are false and the humble minister disturbs Your Majesty, please be punished by Your Majesty."

"it is true."

Li Guanqi heard this and nodded slightly, "It's okay, you did a good job, let him come over."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After receiving this answer, the goat man immediately turned and left.

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps coming from far away outside the Assembly Hall.

Li Guanqi followed the sound and went out.

In the bright sky, a tall man wearing a blue robe with red hair and red eyes stepped forward and slowly appeared in his sight.

It’s Chi Yuanan!

"Your Majesty, Chi Yuan'an, pays homage to His Majesty."

The red-haired man came to the center of the hall, his voice was calm, and he was ready to kneel down and salute Li Guanqi.

However, before he could kneel down or even bend down, Chi Yuanan felt an invisible force forcefully straighten his knees and waist.

"No need to be polite."

Li Guanqi stood up from the throne, walked down the stairs, walked to the center of the hall, stood in front of him, looked at this familiar handsome face, and said softly: "To be honest, I thought you would follow Lan on the day of the canonization ceremony.

The island owners of Heart Island came together to have an audience, but you didn’t, but you’re here again now, why?”

"The archipelago is remote, and Blue Heart Island is even more remote. News spreads very slowly."
