Chapter 188 Misfortunes never come singly (first update! Please subscribe, please ask for a monthly pass!)

Chang'an City, Daming Palace.

Emperor Xianlong stared at the memorial on the imperial case with gloomy eyes.

After a long time, he angrily threw a memorial on the ground.

"Too much deception, really too much deception!"

As the supreme ruler of the secular world, Emperor Xianlong can be said to be the most powerful man.

But even he couldn't make things go exactly as he wanted.

The Western Regions have not been peaceful recently.

"Mate, the Anxi Protectorate sent someone to send news that various Hu tribes in the Western Regions united with local practitioners are ready to move and want to betray the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I'm afraid it will be unstable just relying on the Anxi garrison."

Compared with the Central Plains, the Western Regions are obviously too far away.

Emperor Xianlong's knowledge of the Western Regions was only the symbols on the sand table and the map.

But even so, the Western Regions are now subordinate to the Great Zhou.Not to mention that the Anxi Protectorate was an authority directly set up by the Great Zhou in the Western Regions.

It is impossible for any emperor to allow his authority to be challenged by others, and Emperor Xianlong is no exception.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it may not be enough to rely on the garrison of the Western Regions alone. There must be practitioners who go to the Western Regions to serve as commanders. And the grade of this practitioner should not be too low, at least it must be the third grade."

Zheng Jie, the eunuch and eunuch, said with emotion: "The reason why these Western region miscellaneous beards are ready to move, I am afraid that it has a lot to do with the unstable situation in the southeast. The southeast and northwest are at opposite angles. They are expected to pay attention to the head and ignore the tail."

Emperor Xianlong snorted when he heard the words: "I don't care about the head? I want to take care of both. I want fish and bear's paw!"

As a king who has been on the throne for more than [-] years, Emperor Xianlong has now accumulated great prestige.Although Dazhou's current national strength is not as good as when it was first established, it is not something that some miscellaneous people can touch porcelain to provoke.

Northwest, Southeast.

Even if these two places were in trouble at the same time, Emperor Xianlong felt that he could handle it.

"But Your Majesty, what if there is another war in the north? I heard that Dongyue is also making small moves."

The eunuch knows the affairs of the world without going out.

As the number one henchman of the imperial court in Chang'an, Zheng Jie, who has reached the super-grade level, obviously knows everything that happens in various places.

"North? East Vietnam?"

Emperor Xianlong looked stunned.

"There is no report sent."

"Your Majesty, the report should already be on its way, and it will take some time. The servants just sensed it."

Zheng Jie sighed and said: "The current situation is more like a discussion between several forces in advance, and they need to work together to launch a trouble."

When Zheng Jie said this, Emperor Xianlong's complexion became even uglier.

"These ants dare to provoke me."

Emperor Xianlong's breathing became rapid, and even his beard trembled.

"I'm going to kill them all."

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Zheng Jie hurriedly said: "These are all young people who just want to fish in troubled waters to get some benefits. They are naturally gnats and can't threaten the fate of the Great Zhou. But they should not be taken lightly. Your Majesty recommends one person to go to Anxidu The guard presides over the overall situation."

"Who?"

Emperor Xianlong raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Bad handsome Feng Hao."

Zheng Jie said word by word.

"Feng Hao?"

Emperor Xianlong was obviously not too surprised by this answer.

Because although there are quite a few practitioners above the third grade in Chang'an City, there are not many who can directly obey the orders of the imperial court and obey Emperor Xianlong's orders.

Zheng Jie is of course the strongest person.

But Zheng Jie must not leave.

Dongyue Sword Master Wei Wuji once entered Chang'an City twice to assassinate Emperor Xianlong.

Had it not been for Zheng Jie's timely rescue, Emperor Xianlong's head would have been taken off long ago.

Although there are restrictions in the palace, they are of no great use to a practitioner of Wei Wuji's level, more like a decoration.

Apart from Zheng Jie, Feng Haoxiu was the highest level that Emperor Xianlong could mobilize.

Feng Hao is also a second-rank practitioner at any rate, and he has the advantage of crushing ordinary practitioners.

"Let me think about it."

Emperor Xianlong hesitated for a moment, not because he thought there was something wrong with Feng Hao's ability and loyalty, but because he felt that the position of bad handsome was also very important.

If the bad guy goes west, who should take charge of Beijing-China affairs?

"Your Majesty is worried that there will be no one to take charge of the overall situation in the office of bad people?"

"good."

Emperor Xianlong sighed and said: "Those villains in purple robes are all about the same in strength and qualifications, no matter who is assigned to act as handsome villain, others will not accept it."

Zheng Jiexin said that Emperor Xianlong's imperial mind is really at its peak.

"If His Majesty does not give up, the servants are willing to help take care of the bad people's affairs."

Zheng Jie's self-recommendation was really beyond Emperor Xianlong's expectation.

"you?"

Emperor Xianlong's facial expression was a bit subtle, he paused for a long time before he said in a deep voice: "Aren't you afraid of being tired?"

"It is a servant's honor to serve His Majesty."

"Forget it, let's discuss this matter again."

Emperor Xianlong waved his hand and said: "I'm tired too, you can step back."

"According to the order."

Zheng Jie bowed respectfully to Emperor Xianlong, and then withdrew from the Zichen Hall.

Sure enough, His Majesty still did not agree to let him serve as a bad handsome.

Emperor Xianlong attached great importance to the check and balance of court power.

Compared with those officials in the outer court, the appointment of officials in the inner court is more important.

Zheng Jie is already an internal servant, and he can be called an internal minister. If he is also a bad handsome, no one will be able to check and balance him.

Although Zheng Jie was loyal to the imperial court and Emperor Xianlong, he knew that Emperor Xianlong would not be completely at ease with everyone, even him.

The reason why Zheng Jie recommended himself was firstly to test Emperor Xianlong, and secondly, he really felt that it would be better for him to preside over the overall situation than let the unscrupulous purple robes blush.

But now it seems that this is impossible.

It is impossible for His Majesty to let his family dominate.

Checks and balances, this is the basic idea of ​​a king.

After leaving Zichen Hall, Zheng Jie was walking along the corridor, when he saw Wang Shu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, hurrying towards this side.

"Wang Shangshu?"

"Duke Zheng."

The two met each other and each cupped their hands.

"Why is Wang Shangshu here?"

"It's an emergency report from the border."

Wang Shangshu sighed and said: "The current situation is really not good. The barbarians in the north are aggressively harassing the border gate, and the border gate is in a hurry. I will go to the palace to report to the sage."

"Sure enough."

"Duke Zheng already knows?"

Wang Shu was shocked.

The Bianguantang newspaper was sent to the Ministry of War as soon as it was delivered to the capital, and no one else saw it during the whole process.

How did Zheng Jie know?
Could it be that it depends on the divine power of the practitioner?

This is also a little too mysterious, right?
"It's just a little feeling, don't count."

Zheng Jie paused and said: "It's hard work Wang Shangshu. Since it is an urgent report at the border, naturally there is no delay, so hurry up and report to His Majesty. Our family will not disturb, and we will leave."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.
