Chapter 438: Opening Up Territory, King of the Northern Barbarians (7000)

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is inappropriate!"

In the main hall, just after Feng Cheng finished reading all the rewards for Li Fei, a minister immediately stood out to oppose.

"The Lanxun Special Envoy has a special position. Since its birth, it has never been given the rank of a Pavilion Official. I think the Marquis of Jing'an can enter the cabinet to become an official, but he should not continue to serve as the Lanxun Special Envoy!"

"Your Majesty, I second!"

"I also think it's inappropriate! Although the Marquis of Jing'an has merit, his merit does not reach this point!"

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

"..."

Successively, ministers stood out to oppose, and all those who stood out were Pavilion Officials!

Although the Lanxun Special Envoy who is a seat official has no direct power to supervise Pavilion Officials, he can already report directly to the central government, forming a certain restraint on Pavilion Officials.

If the Lanxun Special Envoy becomes a Pavilion Official, wouldn't he be able to directly supervise Pavilion Officials?

At that time, more than 90% of the civil officials in the whole court would be deterred by Li Fei alone!

So at this time, a group of cabinet members stood out to oppose, and many military generals also stood out to oppose.

Although the two major systems of the Forbidden Army and the Border Army are independent of the cabinet, and the Lanxun Special Envoy cannot manage them, the local city defense armies and military generals are still under the supervision of the Supervision Pavilion, so even the military generals of the Military Affairs Department have many people who are unwilling to see Li Fei, this Lanxun Special Envoy, promoted to a Pavilion Official.

For a time, the main hall was full of opposition!

Li Fei stood calmly under the Dan steps. The opposition came from behind him, officials of the same status as him, or higher than him. Currently, no one has stood out to oppose.

"Enough!"

On the Dragon Throne, the Emperor spoke to interrupt everyone.

It was like a thunderbolt exploding in everyone's hearts at the same time, making everyone's hearts tremble and they closed their mouths one after another.

"I have decided, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore!"

The Emperor said so.

The Great Lan Dynasty is a dual monarchy, and the core mechanism has two points:

First, the Emperor possesses the administrative power to appoint cabinet ministers.

Second, the central cabinet possesses legislative power.

Fundamentally speaking, the central cabinet is to assist the monarch in governing the world.

Although the monarch's power has been weakened, he is still above ten thousand people.

Now the Emperor is determined to exercise his power and forcibly appoint a cabinet minister.

In theory, all the civil and military officials in the court have no way to oppose.

But the dual monarchy of the Great Lan Dynasty has lasted for so many years, and the ministers' checks and balances on the monarch's power have been quite mature, especially now that there is a Chief Assistant like Ye Ye Zean.

If the central cabinet is determined to oppose something, even the Emperor can hardly push it forward forcibly.

So the civil and military officials who stood out at this time all looked at Ye Ye Zean, who was sitting in the front row, hoping that this Chief Assistant would stand out and express his position.

In the past years, Ye Ye Zean has not publicly opposed some of the Emperor's decisions.

As long as Ye Ye Zean expresses opposition to this matter, there is still room for maneuver!

In everyone's view, the Emperor's decision is obviously unreasonable and will disrupt the existing balance. Ye Ye Zean should not be happy to see it.

But Ye Ye Zean was like wandering outside the world at this time, sitting quietly in his seat without any expression.

Except for him, the six Pavilion Masters of the cabinet, more than a dozen Deputy Pavilion Masters, and more than a dozen University Scholars of the Zixu Hall had no reaction.

"..."

This made many people realize that this matter is probably not that simple.

The main hall soon became quiet again.

The Emperor glanced at Feng Cheng, and the other party immediately said loudly:

"If there is anything to report, if not, retreat from the court—"

After shouting three times, he finally announced the retreat from the court.

Up to this point, this Great Morning Meeting ended.

Li Fei's entry into the cabinet to become an official has become a foregone conclusion, and he still serves as the Lanxun Special Envoy!

Serving as the Lanxun Special Envoy as a Pavilion Official, for Pavilion Officials in various places outside Lanling City, he can directly supervise those of the same rank, and for those of higher rank, he still needs to report to the central government.

This means that Li Fei can directly supervise the 16th-level Pavilion Officials in various places. As long as he suspects that these people have problems, these people must submit a memorial to explain themselves!

As for officials below the 16th level, he can unconditionally require the other party to suspend their duties to cooperate with the investigation, and the suspension time can be up to one month.

That is to say, for the highest official of a prefecture like Senior Bian Senior Bian Jingru, Li Fei can make the other party directly suspend their duties to accept the investigation in one sentence!

This promotion is to directly raise Li Fei's power by one level on the original basis.

And this difference of one level is the difference between a seat official and a Pavilion Official!

In various provinces, the highest official is the Inspection Envoy, a 17th-level Pavilion Official.

Below the Inspection Envoy, Li Fei can supervise anyone!

Such power is unprecedented, and Li Fei is also the leader of the inspection group of the Lanxun Pavilion.

This means that he masters the supervision power of both the temple and the Jianghu at the same time.

This is the true patrolling of the world!

The key is that Li Fei is only twenty years old this year!

No one in history has ever held such great power at this age.

Plus Li Fei has the talent of the first in history, which makes many people think:

In ten or twenty years, maybe there will be one more seat in the front row of this Zheng Lan Hall!

After retreating from the court, many people took the initiative to come forward to congratulate Li Fei.

But the Crown Prince, who had always shown closeness to Li Fei, rarely didn't come over, and didn't even say hello to Li Fei, leaving directly.

Instead, the Third Prince, who had previously caused his own forces to suffer heavy losses because Li Fei caught a night-shining ghost, which led to the investigation of the Zhengfa Pavilion, walked over with a smile:

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Seeing that the Third Prince had something to say to Li Fei, the ministers surrounding him, after greeting, left sensibly.

"Your Highness."

Li Fei saluted the Third Prince.

The Third Prince stared at him with a pair of phoenix eyes and smiled: "Supervising local officials with one hand and supervising the Jianghu in various places with the other, you can now be counted as one of the powerful ministers of my Great Lan Dynasty."

Li Fei was neither humble nor arrogant, with a calm expression: "Your Highness is joking, in front of Your Highness, how can I be considered a powerful minister?"

The so-called powerful minister, besides the power in his hands, must also have forces and his own party members.

Li Fei's party members now are at most a few seat officials like Lü Lu Wenxing who jumped over from the Stop-Fighting Pavilion to mix with him, and he couldn't find a few ministers in the Great Morning Meeting who could stand out to speak for him.

As for forces, they are only limited to the one prefecture of Datong Prefecture.

So although he is now in a high position and has great power, he is still far from being powerful, and can only be counted as half a powerful minister at most.

Youth is an advantage, but also a disadvantage.

At the age of twenty, and not from a big family, Li Fei still lacks foundation.

Only like the Third Prince, who has his own people in the families, gangs, sects, and government offices of seven or eight provinces.

One look can make a group of ministers stand out to speak for him in the court.

Only then can he be considered a powerful minister!

It's just that the previous Zhengfa Pavilion case caused the Third Prince's forces to suffer a huge blow.

Now this powerful minister of his is also somewhat unworthy of the name.

"Hahaha!"

The Third Prince laughed out loud, not angry because of Li Fei's words.

After laughing, he looked at Li Fei and rarely put away his playfulness, revealing a very sincere expression:

"Li Fei, you now have power but no forces. I have forces, but the power in my hands is not as good as yours. Why don't you and I join forces, and we will definitely be able to achieve something."

Li Fei was stunned and looked at this Third Prince with some surprise.

He didn't expect the other

Moreover, this was the first time the other party had shown an intention to win him over!

"What is Your Highness saying?"

"Exactly what it sounds like."

"Didn't Your Highness say before that you didn't intend to win me over, and that as long as I didn't get involved, it would be fine?"

"But you have already gotten involved!"

"Your Highness is likely misunderstanding me."

"It is no misunderstanding. You first offended the First Imperial Prince, and previously you caused me to suffer heavy losses because of you. Do you think the ministers in the imperial court would believe whose side you are standing on?"

"."

On this matter, it was indeed very difficult for Li Fei to explain.

Even if he truly did not intend for the case at the Justice Academy to happen, the cause was indeed created by the people he arrested, and that case was reported by He Situ Jian.

Now everyone knows that He Situ Jian is a man of his, Marquis Jing'an Li Fei!

Coupled with the fact that the Crown Prince has always made no secret of his closeness to him.

Looking at it this way, even if he stood up publicly now to say he is not the Crown Prince's man, it would be very hard for others to believe.

"If it is truly as the Third Imperial Prince says, why wouldn't I choose to cooperate with the Crown Prince?"

Li Fei asked.

The Third Imperial Prince smiled: "Because the current Crown Prince simply cannot cooperate with you!"

"."

"Don't say you haven't thought of it. His Majesty has raised you so high and given you so much power; if the Crown Prince were to take the initiative to be close to you again... Heh, to put it bluntly, that would be a path to self-destruction!"

Today, the Third Imperial Prince appeared different from before, speaking exceptionally directly.

Li Fei looked at the other party: "If the Crown Prince being close to me won't work, can Your Highness do it?"

The Third Imperial Prince blinked: "He is the Crown Prince, and I am an Imperial Prince. A difference of one character still makes a difference."

Li Fei shook his head: "Your Highness says I have power but no influence, but as long as I have power, why worry about having no influence? Why must I be in such a hurry?"

The Third Imperial Prince smiled and said in a firm tone: "Because you are unwilling to wait!"

"Oh?"

"Because you want revenge, you want to deal with Xu Jing and the Lu family! If you were given ten years to slowly build your influence, your power might not be unable to force the Lu family to their deaths and take their place. But are you willing to wait ten years?"

The Third Imperial Prince looked at Li Fei and asked, word by word.

"."

Li Fei fell silent.

Today, at the Grand Morning Assembly, he entered the cabinet and received his appointment as the Blue Patrol Special Envoy; it could be said he was infinitely glorious!

But there is one fact that cannot be ignored:

The Emperor does not intend to deal with the Lu family, nor does he permit him to take action against the Lu family or Xu Jing!

The Third Imperial Prince just said that Li Fei's future power could force the Lu family to their deaths and take their place.

This sentence actually exposed the essence of this matter:

Can the Lu family be destroyed? Can Xu Jing be killed?

Yes!

But the premise is that the Lu family is destroyed and Xu Jing is dead, while the Great Lan Dynasty itself will not be affected; not only will it not lose national strength because of this, but it might even become better!

The Lu family has long been rooted in the Great Lan Dynasty's system; if it is destroyed, how will this void be filled?

Xu Jing is a dignified Grandmaster; if he dies, who will compensate for this loss?

As long as Li Fei can properly resolve all these problems, he can destroy the Lu family and kill Xu Jing!

It is just like the sentence Ye Ye Zean once gave him as guidance—to save yourself, you must first save others.

This is how the game is played under the rules.

If he does not follow the rules, even if Li Fei truly has the strength to kill Xu Jing alone and destroy the Lu family.

Then his actions would be equivalent to treason!

A blade that cannot be controlled and might even backfire on its master—no matter how much the Emperor appreciates Li Fei, he would only be able to destroy it in pain when the time comes!

That is why the Third Imperial Prince brought up the term "powerful minister" as soon as he approached Li Fei.

To achieve his goal within the rules, the fastest and most likely way for Li Fei is to become a powerful minister.

But ten years of slow building...

Li Fei had to admit that this Third Imperial Prince has a very precise grasp of the human heart.

The Third Imperial Prince: "The Crown Prince dare not cooperate with you now. As for the First Imperial Prince, the reason he targeted you in the beginning was to pull the Lu family and Xu Jing onto his boat. Now that both sides have joined forces, it is even more impossible for you to cooperate with the First Imperial Prince."

Hearing this, Li Fei finally understood that the First Imperial Prince had such a consideration when he targeted him from the very beginning.

It seems that none of these Imperial Princes who can participate in the struggle for the throne are simple!

And this sentence from the Third Imperial Prince is also telling Li Fei that to get revenge, there is one more target he needs to deal with—the First Imperial Prince!

This undoubtedly raises the difficulty by another level.

"Li Fei."

The Third Imperial Prince looked at Li Fei, "Looking at all the civil and military officials in this court, you only have me to choose from!"

"Believe me, as long as you join forces with me, I guarantee you can complete your revenge within two years!"

"."

Li Fei remained silent.

Seeing this, the Third Imperial Prince was not in a hurry: "I will give you time to consider it slowly. Once you have considered it, come find me at any time; my promise is always valid."

After saying this, he stepped forward, stuffed something into Li Fei's hand, and said softly:

"I have always believed that the future of this world belongs to people like you and me!"

After saying this, he turned and left.

Li Fei looked down at the thing the Third Imperial Prince had stuffed into his hand; it was a black iron token, with the three characters "Under Heaven" written on the front and a "Special" character on the back.

"This..."

Li Fei recognized this token.

Legend has it that "Under Heaven" has a special-grade token; the holder of this token can request "Under Heaven" to provide one piece of intelligence free of charge.

Astronomy, geography, treasures of the world, major trends of the world, legendary secrets... as long as it is intelligence that "Under Heaven" can obtain, it is within the scope!

Li Fei sensed an aura of an exotic beast from this token in his hand, and it was at least the aura of a sixth-grade exotic beast.

A token made from the body tissues of a sixth-grade exotic beast can basically guarantee the authenticity of this token.

The Third Imperial Prince could casually take out a special-grade token of "Under Heaven" and give it to Li Fei, which means he has an extraordinary relationship with this world's number one intelligence organization!

It is possible that he is the mysterious owner behind "Under Heaven."

Or perhaps "Under Heaven," this world's number one intelligence organization, has already chosen to stand on his side and support him in competing for the throne!

Regardless of which possibility it is, it shows the unfathomable power of the Third Imperial Prince!

He gave this token to Li Fei just to let Li Fei know that even though his forces suffered heavy losses in the previous Justice Academy case.

He still possesses the possibility of competing for the throne!

His forbearance, his shrewdness, and his ability were all embodied in this token in Li Fei's hand.

And Li Fei now holds the power to supervise the world, while "Under Heaven" possesses the strongest intelligence system in the world; the two are a perfect match!

One provides intelligence, the other exercises the power of supervision, and great things can be accomplished!

"No wonder he said he was confident in helping me achieve my goal within two years."

Li Fei looked at the Third Imperial Prince's back and couldn't help but think.

"Marquis Jing'an."

Just as he was pondering, Feng Cheng walked over.

"Eunuch Feng."

"His Majesty summons you."

"Alright, please lead the way, Eunuch."

Thus, Li Fei followed Feng Cheng all the way out of the Zheng Lan Hall.

This time, the place where the Emperor summoned him was changed back to the Imperial Study.

When Li Fei walked into the Imperial Study, besides the Emperor, he also saw a middle-aged man wearing Daoist robes.

It was none other than the National Teacher, Yun Shu!

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Greetings, National Teacher."

Li Fei performed the salutations in turn.

He did not expect that Yun Shu, who should have been in seclusion to heal his wounds, would be in the Imperial Study.

"Sit."

The Emperor said to Li Fei very casually.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Fei sat opposite Yun Shu.

"Today, the National Teacher specifically came out of seclusion to see you."

The Emperor said directly to Li Fei.

"Ah?"

Li Fei looked at Yun Shu in confusion.

Yun Shu looked at him and said calmly:

"On March 1st, the ultimate target of Qiming, the leader of the New Heaven Society, was me."

Li Fei was startled and listened quietly.

"He used your life path as a guide, taking advantage of the connection established with the national destiny when you broke through your realm, to try to attack me and catch me off guard to severely injure me."

Yun Shu continued.

Li Fei suddenly realized and finally understood why the "God of War" Wen Ren Zheng would take the initiative to salute him that day.

And why the Emperor would reward him so heavily today.

It turns out he had saved Yun Shu unintentionally.

Perhaps he also prevented the Great Lan Dynasty's national destiny from being severely injured again?

Added to some subsequent far-reaching influences, it could indeed count as a great contribution.

"Qiming failed to severely injure me, and you didn't die either; next, he will have to worry about me using the traces left on your body to find him in return."

Yun Shu said, "Seeing you today is, firstly, to collect the traces related to Qiming on your body, and secondly, to leave a spell on you so that if Qiming attacks you again in the future, I will be able to find him directly."

Li Fei immediately realized the seriousness of the problem:

"So, as long as I don't die for a day, this Qiming won't have a day of peace?"

Yun Shu: "Correct."

Li Fei: "."

The Emperor, sitting to the side, laughed: "You don't need to worry too much; as long as he isn't seeking his own death, he won't attack you directly again."

As he spoke, the Emperor picked up a wooden box from the side and pushed it gently; the wooden box flew steadily into Li Fei's hand.

"There is a 'Peace Token' in this wooden box; if you wear it on your body, after activating it, it can block a Grandmaster's attack for a period of time."

The Emperor said nonchalantly.

Li Fei was startled and subconsciously gripped the wooden box in his hand.

A treasure that can block a Grandmaster's attack—how precious and rare must this be?

This thing must at least be made from the body tissues of an eighth-grade exotic beast, right?

Li Fei hurriedly stood up and saluted the Emperor:

"Thank you for your great grace, Your Majesty!"

Peace Token—although the name is ordinary, it is indeed the most well-deserved thing in the world!

What Li Fei did not know was that almost every member of the royal family has a Peace Token, but among all the royal family members, only the Crown Prince, the First Imperial Prince, and the Third Imperial Prince possess a Peace Token of the level in his hand.

Li Fei is the first person who is not a member of the royal family to receive the highest-level Peace Token!

"No merit, no reward. I am not giving you this Peace Token for nothing."

The Emperor said to Li Fei.

Li Fei: "Please give your instructions, Your Majesty."

The Emperor: "No rush, let's talk after the National Teacher finishes casting the spell."

Li Fei looked at Yun Shu and took the opportunity to say:

"Could I ask the National Teacher to do me another favor while you're at it?"

"Speak."

Yun Shu looked at him.

Thus, Li Fei spoke about his desire to refine the Divine Ability Seed, wanting to ask the National Teacher to help him see if his existing luck could guarantee a ten-percent success rate.

"You actually still have a Divine Ability Seed?"

The Emperor laughed, "You are truly blessed by heaven and favored by luck."

"It was left to me by my master, Hao Yi, after he died."

Li Fei said calmly.

Hearing this, the Emperor was startled, restrained his smile, and looked at Yun Shu:

"Then I will have to trouble the National Teacher to help him take a look."

Yun Shu nodded, clear light flickering in his eyes.

Li Fei suddenly felt a sense of being completely seen through; except for the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl and the Blood Spring inside his body, everything else had nowhere to hide under Yun Shu's eyes!

The unity of Dharma and Martial Arts, the body of a flying sword—these were all seen through by Yun Shu one by one.

This investigation lasted for a long time; Yun Shu not only wanted to see Li Fei's luck but also had to "extract" those "traces" that Qiming had left on Li Fei.

When Yun Shu put away the Dao principles, a look of fatigue was clearly visible on his face.

He looked at Li Fei: "With your current luck and the national destiny on your body, if it is all used to refine that Divine Ability Seed on you, you can probably have a success rate of about ninety percent."

"Ninety percent..."

Li Fei pondered.

To be honest, this success rate is really not low; as long as he isn't too unlucky, he can basically succeed.

But what if...

He didn't want to gamble, and he didn't dare to gamble.

"May I ask the National Teacher, if I want to reach a ten-percent certainty, how much more national destiny would it take?"

Li Fei asked.

Yun Shu did not answer this question but looked at the Emperor.

The Emperor pondered for a moment:

"Li Fei, if it were normal times, it's not that I couldn't bestow a portion of national destiny upon you to help you refine the Divine Ability Seed. But now is an extraordinary time; I might as well be blunt, the National Teacher needs national destiny very much to heal his wounds."

Li Fei fell silent.

He had no complaints about this, just some regret.

But he could also understand the Emperor's choice.

No matter how much of a genius he is, he is only the future of the empire.

And Yun Shu is the past and present of the empire.

One cannot abandon the past and present for the sake of the future, right?

What's more, a True Lord also shoulders the future of the empire!

"However, you don't have to regret it; this matter is not without other solutions."

The Emperor suddenly laughed.

Li Fei looked up abruptly.

"There is no extra national destiny to share with you, but you can find a way to increase the national destiny."

The Emperor said.

"Increase the national destiny, break the cultivation record?"

Li Fei thought of this immediately.

He had heard True Person Master Qingding say that every time he breaks a cultivation record, the Great Lan Dynasty's national destiny can be increased.

But he had just broken through his realm, and the next cultivation record could only be breaking through to Grandmaster and Top-tier True Person, which is not something that can be achieved in a short time.

"The most direct way to increase national destiny is not breaking cultivation records."

The Emperor looked at Li Fei and said word by word:

"It is to expand the territory!"

Li Fei was shocked: "Does Your Majesty intend to send troops to the Western Continent?"

"Hahaha!"

The Emperor laughed, "Although I have the ambition, I am not so eager for quick success and instant benefits."

Li Fei hurriedly said: "That was not my intention, Your Majesty."

The Emperor restrained his smile and said in a deep voice:

"Not to the Western Continent, but to the Northern Barbarians."

"Northern Barbarians..."

Li Fei did not express his opinion, but he still felt that this decision was unwise.

Why haven't the Northern Barbarians been completely resolved for so many years?

It is because the northern wilderness is mostly primitive forests and mountains, with treacherous terrain, making it difficult to deploy troops.

Back then, the Founding Emperor relied on his many fierce generals and numerous experts to organize elite forces to kill into the wilderness and completely subdue the seventeen tribes of the Northern Barbarians.

But after the Founding Emperor, the Great Lan Dynasty's national strength gradually declined, and the seventeen tribes of the Northern Barbarians gradually lost their awe and repeatedly invaded the borders again.

For hundreds of years, the Great Lan Dynasty has always adopted a defensive strategy.

In this Great Northern War, Prince Cheng led troops to achieve a great victory, but that was only repelling a large-scale invasion by the Northern Barbarians.

Now the Emperor suddenly wants to change the defensive strategy of so many years and take the initiative to use troops against the Northern Barbarians.

To be honest, Li Fei is not optimistic.

"Are you slandering me in your heart for being too radical?"

The Emperor suddenly asked.

Li Fei was startled and said: "Since Your Majesty has decided to use troops against the Northern Barbarians, you must already have a way to win!"

"Hmph."

The Emperor snorted coldly, "I don't have a way to win, but I have the reason and determination that I must win!"

"The Northern Barbarians suddenly invaded the borders this time, not without reason. It has now been verified that the Northern Barbarians have produced another 'King'!"

Li Fei was shocked to hear this.

The seventeen tribes of the Northern Barbarians are not a united entity; on the contrary, there are blood feuds between the various tribes that have lasted for hundreds of years!

Sometimes, the wars between them are even bloodier and more intense than the wars with the Great Lan Dynasty.

More than five hundred years ago, the Northern Barbarians produced a "King" who was revered as the common master by the seventeen tribes, and all their forces united, intending to invade the Central Plains.

In the end, it was the Founding Emperor who killed that Northern Barbarian King with his own hands, which caused the seventeen tribes of the Northern Barbarians to become a scattered mess again.

Now the seventeen tribes of the Northern Barbarians have a new common master?

That Northern Barbarian King back then was a Martial Saint!

"This new Northern Barbarian King has not yet completely unified the Northern Barbarians; currently, only eight tribes revere him as their common master. I have calculated that the other party is only at the cultivation level of a Peak Grandmaster, one step away from a Martial Saint."

Yun Shu suddenly spoke, "But if he is allowed to gain momentum and completely unify the seventeen tribes of the Northern Barbarians, then with the help of the entire Northern Barbarian national destiny, he is very likely to take that final step and break through to become a Martial Saint!"

Li Fei suddenly realized and finally understood why the Emperor was determined to use troops against the Northern Barbarians.

The New Heaven Society having one more True Lord has already put the Great Lan Dynasty in a very passive position.

If the seventeen tribes of the Northern Barbarians have one more "King" and one more Martial Saint, the Great Lan Dynasty will likely be in a difficult situation!

Let alone an expedition to the Western Continent in the future, even defending the city would be difficult!

"I just said, no merit, no reward; bestowing the Peace Token upon you is because I want you to serve the country and kill the enemy on the battlefield."

The Emperor said to Li Fei:

"Now that you happen to need the blessing of national destiny, it is just right; if you can truly make contributions in the Northern Territory, I will not be stingy with national destiny!"

Hearing this, Li Fei finally understood the Emperor's intention.

He had just promoted him and given him great power.

If he wasn't given anything else to do next, he would definitely go directly to find trouble with the Lu family and Xu Jing!

It just so happened that the imperial court intended to use troops against the Northern Territory, so the Emperor arranged a new task for Li Fei, shifting internal contradictions to external ones and keeping the guns pointed outward, which is a very useful political means.

And it just so happened that Li Fei needed the blessing of national destiny, so letting him help the Great Lan Dynasty expand its territory made it even more logical.

How to get revenge and resolve the Lu family and Xu Jing—Grand Secretary Ye Ye Zean and the Third Imperial Prince had already told Li Fei one after another.

Now the Emperor had also pointed out a path for Li Fei.

Li Fei did not hesitate much and saluted the Emperor:

"Your subject is willing to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and share your worries, Your Majesty!"
