Hong Fu opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief.
"I practice the new martial arts that I created, and now I have reached the peak of the tenth level of the True Qi Realm, which is comparable to the martial arts gods."
"And I am still a monk, and I have cultivated to the perfection of Qi training very early. The reason why my cultivation speed is so fast is thanks to the sponsorship of Tiancheng Emperor Xiao Yan."
Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
Hongfu said happily.
"So this is your next task, successfully evacuate the imperial capital, take my handwritten letter, tell my father my plan, let him prepare for the next war!"
"If possible, I will kill all the generals and military rookies attending the banquet, including the current crown prince Xiao Tai."
"When the time comes, the Daliang Dynasty will have no successors, and the royal family members will definitely have conflicts for the throne."
"The military will also be leaderless and in chaos due to the death of the general."
"At that time, we will take advantage of the chaos to send troops, and we may be able to swallow up the entire four northern states of the Daliang Dynasty before all forces can react."
slowly, and then annex the entire Liang Dynasty! Jiang Yuan said to the steward Hong Fu.
He was not worried at all that after killing Tiancheng Emperor Xiao Yan, he would be trapped in the imperial court and unable to escape from the imperial capital.
Because if he wanted to kill Tiancheng Emperor Xiao Yan, he would have to kill the imperial martial arts master Wuhua Eunuch first.
Three years ago, although he was not as good as Eunuch Wuhua, if he wanted to escape, Eunuch Wuhua couldn't stop him.
But now he is many times stronger than he was three years ago. This time he faces Father Wuhua, a master of martial arts, and it should be the other party who should be sweating.
Hong Fu was also very happy when he heard the news that Jiang Yuan could rival the martial arts gods.
Because he knew that there had never been a situation where a martial artist was trapped and unable to escape.
Even if Jiang Yuan fails to enter the imperial court to kill Tiancheng Emperor Xiao Yan this time, he will definitely be able to escape unscathed. On the contrary, they may become a burden to Jiang Yuan.
Hence, he decisively arranged for everyone in the palace to evacuate in an orderly manner.
But as the steward of the Zhenbei Palace, he cannot leave for the time being, otherwise it will be too easy to arouse suspicion.
He could not leave the imperial capital until Jiang Yuan officially attended the banquet.
………
New Year’s Eve.
Tiancheng Emperor Xiao Yan held a banquet for his ministers in the Qiankun Hall. Everyone had a good time with wine and food, talked about the past and present, and then welcomed the new year together.
It’s just that today’s banquet is destined to be uneventful.
Jiang Yuan was wearing black clothes with low-key yet luxurious patterns embroidered with gold thread, and was sitting in a carriage.
Steward Hong Fu drove a carriage from Zhenbei Palace to the imperial court. He saw many officials walking into the imperial court one after another, in groups of two or three.
This time, Jiang Yuan did not act or bring a wheelchair. Instead, he got off the carriage directly. After winking at the butler Hong Fu, Hong Fu understood and drove the carriage out of the Meridian Gate of the Imperial Capital.
"That seems to be the Crown Prince of Zhenbei?"
"Is it really the Crown Prince of Zhenbei? Hasn't his limbs been broken by Chen Batian and turned into a cripple?"
“I heard that the Great Yan Dynasty has a supreme miracle medicine that can reconnect people’s broken bones and bring them back to life. With the strength of Zhenbei King Zhou Yi, it shouldn’t be a problem to ask for a miracle medicine for the Prince of Zhenbei.” Broken legs can naturally be healed. "
"The prince of Zhenbei is really brave. He should be twenty years old after the New Year. What a pity!"
"He has been refusing to participate in the New Year's ceremony for the past two years. This year he changed his mind. After thinking about it, he also understood the current situation of Zhenbei Prince's Palace, so I wanted to come and give in to His Majesty."
“If the King of Zhenbei can give up the military power of Liangzhou like King Qin Yu of Zhenxi and King Pan Zhen of Zhennan, allowing His Majesty to achieve unification without bloodshed, maybe His Majesty will treat them favorably.”
"This is reasonable. After all, the Prince of Zhenbei's disability has been cured now. Both sides can just laugh it off and forget their grudges. If it really comes to the point of taking back Liangzhou by force, then I don't know how many people will die and how much food will be consumed. It will be a waste of people and money!"
"The King of Zhenbei is an ambitious man. If we don't fight him, he probably won't give up the military power in his hands."
"Yes, in my opinion, troops are more valuable than speed, so it is better to use troops later in the year to regain Liangzhou by force. Before the war, kill the prince of Zhenbei to sacrifice the flag."
"I heard that King Zhenbei only has one son. If he dies and King Zhenbei has no successor, the Liangzhou army will probably be upset. After all, it would be uneconomical to rebel with a vassal king without an heir!"
No one dared to say hello to him. He walked steadily, step by step, straight towards the direction of the Qiankun Palace.
Because it was a dinner party, everyone came to the Qiankun Hall in the evening.
Today's Qiankun Hall is brightly lit, with officials at all levels, royal family members, harem concubines, princes and princesses sitting in their own seats.
When Jiang Yuan walked into the Qiankun Hall, the lively atmosphere in the hall came to a standstill. Many people felt as if they were seeing a ghost when they saw Jiang Yuan.
Especially when they saw Jiang Yuan walking into the Qiankun Hall with his hands and feet intact, they were even more shocked.
Jiang Yuan was led to his seat by the etiquette officer and quietly waited for the arrival of the civil and military officials.
His seat is very forward, almost representing the Zhenbei King, alongside Zhenxi King Qin Yu and Zhennan King Pan Zhen. Qin Yu and Pan Zhen came to the Qiankun Hall early in order to leave a good impression on Emperor Tiancheng.
The two of them had a good relationship with Zhou Yi, but after the two of them looked at each other, no one took the initiative to say hello to Jiang Yuan. Of course, Jiang Yuan didn't bother to talk to them, and Jiang Yuan didn't even know who they were.
Although he knew that Zhenxi King Qin Yu and Zhennan King Pan Zhen had given up military power and returned to the imperial palace, he had never seen them. He only thought they were two respected old generals from the military department.
Before Xu Shi, all the civil and military officials were seated. Around Xu Shi, Emperor Tiancheng Xiao Yan and the Queen attended in their best attire, with a young and handsome eunuch following behind them.
Jiang Yuan recognized him. He was the martial artist from the imperial court, Mr. Wuhua.
Martial arts heavenly beings have reached an extremely low level of control over their own power, so it is normal for them to have skills in maintaining their appearance.
But Jiang Yuan knew that this Wuhua father-in-law had served three generations of Liang emperors and was definitely no less than a hundred years old now.
Tiancheng Emperor Xiao Yan and the Queen sat down, and all the civil and military officials stood up one after another and said loudly:
"I congratulate your majesty on a prosperous life and a prosperous new year for thousands of families!"
"Long live my emperor!"
But Jiang Yuan still sat in his seat and drank to himself, with no intention of getting up.
"The Prince of the Prince of Zhenbei boldly met with Your Majesty, why didn't you get up and salute?"
A supervisory censor saw Jiang Yuan's appearance and couldn't help but reprimanded him.
"The master didn't say anything, why are you barking here, this dog?"
Jiang Yuan ate a grape, glanced at the censor, and said.
As soon as this statement came out, the whole house was in an uproar!
It seems that the Prince of Zhenbei is not here to subdue Emperor Tiancheng Xiao Yan, he is probably here to cause trouble!
