Chapter 737: A true monarch for ten thousand generations

At the thought that they might be assisting an emperor without peer in the past and perhaps none to come, participating in and witnessing an epic undertaking that would sweep across the entire continent, Zhao Wenyuan and Guo Guo Po Yun felt a surge of hot blood rush to their heads, unable to contain their excitement.

Zhao Wenyuan was the first to bow, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Your Majesty's ambition shines like the sun and moon! Although this subject is untalented, I am willing to exhaust my strength to assist Your Majesty in achieving this immortal foundation for ten thousand generations! Regarding the Yongzhou matter, I will certainly coordinate closely with General Guo to stabilize the country and allocate resources as Your Majesty's backing!"

Guo Guo Po Yun knelt on one knee, the eyes of this veteran of the battlefield flashing with fanatical light, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! This old subject is a rough man and doesn't understand many grand principles! But I know that following Your Majesty, I can fight the most satisfying battles and build the greatest achievements! Unify the continent!

Hahaha! Just hearing it makes one's blood boil! Your Majesty, please go ahead; with this old subject in May Tian Ce, it won't be in chaos! This old subject and the boys under my command are always waiting for Your Majesty's call to sweep away all obstacles for you!"

The attitudes of the two heavyweights clearly indicated their absolute support. Li Chen looked at them and nodded slightly: "With the two of you, I have no worries. I entrust the domestic affairs to you."

Leaving the Imperial Study and walking out of the stern palace gates, the afternoon sun shone on the two of them.

Guo Guo Po Yun did not leave immediately; he stopped, looked up at the blue sky, his gaze somewhat distant, as if recalling something.

Seeing this, Zhao Wenyuan asked curiously: "Grand General Guo, what is it? Still thinking about what His Majesty said?"

Guo Guo Po Yun slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his tone carrying a rare complexity and emotion: "Prime Minister Zhao, I am just suddenly somewhat dazed. His Majesty's ambition is too grand, so grand that even an old man like me feels like I'm dreaming."

He paused, his voice lowering a bit. "Tell me, before these old bones of mine are buried in the earth, will I have the fortune to see the day when His Majesty truly unifies the continent?"

He didn't wait for Zhao Wenyuan to answer, continuing as if talking to himself: "If there really is such a day, when I go below and see the late emperor, I must have a good chat with him.

I must tell him that the prince he looked down upon the most, the Sixth Prince he thought was ordinary and incapable of great tasks, is now the undisputed first sovereign of this continent! His achievements far exceed those of all previous emperors! He is a true monarch for ten thousand generations!"

In his words, the roughness of the court was gone, leaving only endless sighs, pride, and a kind of near-pious expectation.

Zhao Wenyuan listened quietly from the side without interrupting, because he knew that Guo Guo Po Yun's mood at this moment was the same as his, and the same as countless ministers following His Majesty, all immersed in a huge longing and excitement for creating history.

Li Chen was not in a hurry to set off for the Yongzhou Empire or the East Sea immediately.

System tasks were certainly important, but with his efficiency, they were not difficult to complete.

By comparison, he was more concerned about the stability and development of the May Tian Ce Empire itself, especially the cultivation progress of his younger sister, Li Sining, which required time to settle and could not be rushed.

After the Daluo Dynasty became a vassal state, the docking and arrangements for many subsequent matters were handled by Prime Minister Zhao Wenyuan behind the scenes; Li Chen only needed to designate specific personnel to dock with him, without needing to do everything himself.

Before leaving the Imperial Capital and embarking on the journey again, Li Chen decided to spend some time conducting an undercover visit within the Imperial Capital.

He knew well that no matter how detailed and thorough the reports from his ministers were, the data on paper and the scenes seen with his own eyes were ultimately different.

Many details and the true state of the people were often hidden in the bustling streets and the ordinary smoke and fire of life.

"Just consider it taking a break from work to go shopping." Li Chen changed into an inconspicuous cyan scholar's long robe, restrained the imperial aura that made people afraid to look directly at him, and like an ordinary noble youth, merged into the endless stream of people in the Imperial Capital.

Walking on the wide and flat Vermilion Bird Street, what met his eyes was a scene of unprecedented prosperity.

Shops lined both sides of the street, banners fluttered, and merchants from various countries on the continent wore styles of clothing that were vastly different, haggling in May Tian Ce official language with different accents. The goods were dazzling, from the ice marrow of the far north to the pearls of the South Sea, from the spices of the Western Regions to the silk of the Eastern Border, everything was available.

What satisfied Li Chen even more was the mental outlook of the common people. Pedestrians with sallow complexions were rarely seen, replaced by citizens with neat clothes and rosy complexions. ===== CHAPTER 738 =====
