Chapter 1482: Chapter 288 Sealing Chapter 1482: Chapter 288 Sealing Terrifying killing intent erupted from Emperor Xia’s body.
It was like a thunderstorm that covered the entire hall, causing a huge storm.
His voice became even colder.” Is it reliable?”
Zhang Ronghua knew what His Majesty meant.
How did he know about this?
He couldn’t tell him the truth, but could he tell him what he got from Wen Daowen and the Reflecting Moon Ancient Sect when he went out with Yang Hongling two days ago?
The best scapegoat was still Uncle Shi!
Nothing else.
…
Uncle Shi’s existence was definitely not something that could be hidden from Emperor Xia.
He had probably probed him countless times in secret.
Even if he did not know the exact cultivation level, it should be about the same.
This was something that could be guessed without the former’s explanation.
“Uncle Shi!” he said solemnly.
The Xia Emperor’s dragon eyes flashed with a bright light, as if to say that this was indeed the case.
It was normal for such a person to have even greater secrets, let alone discover this matter.
“Do you know why I asked Cao Xing to wait for you at the Vermilion Bird Sect?”
“Your Majesty, please explain!”
“For this matter!”the Xia Emperor said coldly.
Zhang Ronghua’s expression did not change.
His thoughts turned quickly.
Did His Majesty know about this?
It was possible.
Given how powerful the Absolute Beginning Demon God was, it might not be a problem if the Dragon-Slaying Alliance hid somewhere else.
As long as they entered Great Xia or made any moves in the dark, they would not be able to hide it unless the Absolute Beginning Demon God had someone on their side to hide the news.
However, such a thing was almost impossible.
If it was so easy to intervene, it would have been infiltrated by the Empress, Darkness, and the others after so many years.
The Xia Emperor’s next words dispelled Zhang Ronghua’s thoughts.
“The imperial examination is like a sharp sword pressed against my throat.
I have found very little so far, almost nothing!
They’re so well-hidden, so powerful, and so well-organized.
It looks like they’ve been planning this for many years.
If we don’t get rid of them, the disaster they will cause will definitely be unprecedented!”
He knew more than the Xia Emperor.
If he could see it, so could Zhang Ronghua.
Judging from the situation and the information he had received, there were definitely people from the Dragon Slaying Alliance in the government.
Emperor Xia was indeed powerful.
His methods were shrewd, and he suppressed the various factions.
He firmly controlled the army, the Absolute Beginning Demon God, the Human Emperor Guards, and the Golden Scaled Mysterious Heavenly Army.
However, officialdom was different from a place.
It was an iron camp with flowing water.
It was not like the military that was in a closed state.
Unless it was an edict or someone in the military, no one could approach it.
From the three chancellors to the ordinary county magistrates, if they wanted to make contact, they only needed to find a ” suitable ” opportunity to meet.
Bribing, roping in, threatening, and so on.
With all kinds of combination techniques, ordinary people could not resist the temptation.
Even if he failed.
The Dragon-Slaying Alliance had planned for a long time.
Just by supporting people from the Humble Class to pass the imperial examination and enter the officialdom, there were already many people.
It wasn’t strange for the Xia Emperor to have such concerns.
On the contrary, it would be strange if he didn’t.
Especially at this critical juncture, he clearly still had about twelve years to live, yet he did not hesitate to pretend to be sick.
Because of this, he did not attend morning court for two to three days, sending a signal that his body was getting worse.
He secretly raised his butcher knife, sharpening it very sharply, and prepared to solve all the internal problems.
There was a sequence of events.
Whether it was the Queen, the Darkness, or the others, they were all within the scope of control.
However, the Dragon Slaying Alliance was different.
They were naturally enemies.
In order to achieve their goals, they would do anything.
The dragon’s eyes became even more majestic, reaching its peak at this moment.
“I will temporarily hand over the True Dragon Palace and the Scarlet Heaven Palace to you.
Can you destroy them?”
With a thought.
Zhang Ronghua thought a lot.
Why not the four departments?
In this way, the power he wielded would be even greater.
Emperor Xia should be afraid.
Or rather, the path of balance of an emperor was that as one’s status rose, the power he wielded would increase.
No matter how much trust he had, he would not let things get out of control and cause any changes.
He was secretly glad that his cultivation was not exposed and that he was only at Zongshi realm level eight.
Even if he had the protection of an expert by his side, he would live to old age for at most a hundred years.
After he died, everything he had now would naturally return to the hands of the imperial family.
He would not have to worry about the situation of the three dukes.
If the Zhang family wanted to maintain their current power, they could only rely on the Xia family.
In this way, there would always be only one voice in Great Xia.
He deliberately hesitated and frowned, pretending to be deep in thought.
After a long while, he opened his mouth and did not say anything too confidently, leaving himself a way out.
“I will do my best!”
The Xia Emperor did not suspect anything, nor did he expect that this fellow would be so audacious as to have designs on Ji Xueyan and snatch her away from the Crown Prince.
Although his plan was to find an opportunity to send Ji Xueyan on her way after the internal affairs were settled, she was representing the face of the royal family before that.
The imposing aura disappeared, and it was as if the spring breeze had washed over him.
“I will take my leave!” Zhang Ronghua bowed and left.
The door closed.
“Your Majesty, are you worried that Qinglin will end up like the three dukes?” Wei Shang asked.
The Xia Emperor did not answer directly.
His words were meaningful.” After tomorrow’s reward, the power he wields will be even greater.
Having been in a high position for a long time, it’s inevitable that he will have evil thoughts in the face of power.
This is good.
Something like this will not happen.”
Wei Shang sighed to himself.
He understood that the Emperor was prepared to hand over the four departments to Qing Lin.
Even if it was for a short period of time, with the position that was about to be awarded and his own faction, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was the number one person in Xia besides the Emperor.
If there were no restrictions, there was no guarantee that he would make a mistake.
It was a good thing to have great ability, but if it was too heaven-defying, it would be troublesome if it made the person in power wary!
They left the palace.
Zhang Ronghua got on the Tianji carriage and ordered,”Return to the residence.”
He sat on the soft couch and pondered over the whole matter.
