Chapter 357
Long Hong even knew that if there was a tax collection, the officials of the city lords everywhere might have refused to collect the tax. The laws of a country already existed.
Now that the best elixirs have appeared, he, as a king, feels aggrieved when the city lords who have the best elixirs do not take the initiative to come here.
But I also know that black and white must be distinguished. How can we blame Ye Tian for what the city lords failed to do.
If he punishes people casually, he will not become a foolish king.
What's more important is that he still has to ask for help, and he definitely can't say these things to the princes.
Long Hong only received a promise of six top-quality elixirs. Even the few top-quality elixirs were not enough for himself, so how could he share them with these useless princes.
As a father, he is also very selfish. Of course he has good things to share with them, but it is only for them to eat, drink and have fun. This position is not passed on yet.
The prince has not yet been established. Just like every generation, they have to go through their constant competition to choose the best one.
It cannot necessarily be the eldest prince, nor is it necessarily his favorite. Back then, he was also very low-key and earned this throne with his talents.
With his current ability and the help of top-quality elixirs, he has such a long lifespan, and of course he will not let go of the throne so quickly.
If one day he reaches great heights and can get better resources without the throne, maybe he will give up his position to the next generation and concentrate on cultivating to become an immortal.
Long Hong waved his hand, and all the lively houses that were talking could only silence.
"General Ye Tianshao got my order and went out in an emergency. This can save him from breaking the rules, but he is not responsible for the confession. This matter has nothing to do with him. He can only pass the order. Go down, every city has to offer sacrifices? "
"Father, if there are no rules, Ye Tian must be punished severely."
A prince said reluctantly.
Long Hong has too many sons, but he can still tell the names of his own sons. This unwilling prince is the 13th prince, a young and energetic boy who doesn’t know how high the sky is. young people.
The other princes also followed suit, saying that Ye Tian did not act according to the rules. Small crimes were also crimes, and no exceptions could be made for urgent matters.
The more Long Hong listened, the more annoyed he became. There was no end to it. He kept asking the same question. He snorted angrily and said, "I'm not your father anymore. I'm still sitting here. You guys are like this." There are so many opinions, and I just turn a blind eye to whatever you do. The princes are as guilty as the people."
I got angry, and the princes were a little reluctant, but they didn't dare to say any more, being a man. Even those who are women dare not say it, and those who are women are even more afraid to say it.
So after I got angry, the whole hall fell silent, and now no one dared to make the first move.
No one is a fool, no matter their position or future, they need this I to give them.
After irritating me, no one wants to fall out of favor and be disliked by me.
The chief eunuch has been standing aside and watching the fun. He really hopes that these princes will cause trouble.
But I don’t want them to make too much trouble. The emperor will feel annoyed and will definitely leave the matter to him. He is busy, how can he spend more time on mundane things.
Long Hong sighed softly in his heart. If he were in another big family, his children would definitely go out to practice, so why would the people in Chengdu bother him here.
With your noble status, you cannot go outside to experience it, which has both advantages and disadvantages.
It is because his sons do not need to go outside to gain resources and do not go outside to experience, and it is also to protect their safety.
There are disadvantages in not having any experience outside. Although they fight all day long, they are only fighting for conspiracy, not really using their skills to fight.
The inheritance in the palace is like this. Not all of his princes can practice and become immortals. They can only practice other methods and always strengthen their bodies.
There are only one or two who are outstanding and extremely arrogant. They don't know that there is a sky outside the sky, so they want him to punish Ye Tian just because Ye Tian flew from high altitude.
Don’t look at Ye Tianduo’s strong cultivation. If their family rebels because of this trivial matter, I believe the throne will change their surname.
Maybe other families are as powerful as the Ye Tian family, but they don't want to be the king, and they don't need the king to threaten them.
But the princes didn't know that he, the king, was also worried.
There are two other forces. If it were not for the protection of the Ye Tian family, the world of immortality might have been in chaos.
Long Hong clearly understood that he could not change his position as general, all for the sake of his own throne and the future of the entire Long family.
"If you have nothing to do, go back. Don't come in unless you are summoned. I am not that free!"
Long Hong issued an order to expel the guests. The princes and princesses did not dare to say anything more and could only turn their heads. To leave.
But when they turned around, they saw the prime minister and the minister coming in.
The two people blushed and seemed to have bad expressions on each other.
But when they came in and saw the prince and the princess, their thoughts moved again.
Liu Xu was in a bad mood today. The emperor did not see him when he summoned people. He came to see this old man by himself. He was furious and bickered for half an hour, but they still did not dare to make a fuss. Exposed, the two men did not fight on the street.
“Wow, the emperor, the prince, and the princess are all here, something good happened. Oh, no, when we came in just now, we saw the eldest princess and ran out. It was the eldest princess, what happened? "
When the Prime Minister asked such gossip, Shangshu also had the same idea, but today the emperor specially summoned him, there must be something else. He was waiting for Long Hong quietly and told him secretly.
“You have nothing else to do, why don’t you leave?”
Long Hong felt an even headache when he saw Liu Xu's cunning face. He wasn't on vacation. Why did he show up whenever something happened?
"Yes"
The princes and princesses also wanted to know what these two ministers wanted to see the king for, but they were only sons and could not ask about state affairs yet.
She is a prince but has no real official position. She can stand in the hall now because she is the king's prince and princess.
State-owned and national laws are not something they can know, but it is the same and cannot be known.
The princes and princesses retreated.
Liu Xu didn't bother with this topic either. The emperor didn't answer just now, maybe because he wanted to cover up his ugliness.
Who does Long Feifeng do for? What's going on in the palace?
Wait a minute, he will know after checking.
"Your Majesty, my vacation is over. My health and my son's health are both well." Long Hong secretly smiled in his heart. If it was not good, why would he be quarreling with Shangshu on the street? The old faces of the two of them Where to put it.
But he pretended not to know. Since these two people arrived a step late, this is not a good thing. They don't know that the best elixir is better.
Liu Xu is the most taboo minister of his. He doesn’t want him to know about the top-grade elixir. It may be impossible to hide it. How long can it be hidden? How long to hide it.
Long Hong's eyes rolled. He had to assign some work to this treacherous minister so that he would not have time to collude with foreign enemies. If foreign enemies were really brought in, then it would be his responsibility.
"Well, there have been too many terrorists in our country recently. Prime Minister, you can't take a long vacation. You have to help check, especially don't let those terrorists disguise themselves and enter the city."
When Liu Xu heard what Long Hong said, he was a little reluctant. He was just trying to do something, and he took over all the responsibilities. If something happened, it was not his intention, and he couldn't find a scapegoat.
"Your Majesty, I can help with the investigation, but the responsibility of guarding is a matter for General Shao's family, unless the emperor hands over the military power to me."
How could Long Hong not know that Liu Xu, this is looking for a reason to demand military power.
He was very worried about the Ye Tian family, but he never took back the military power. He also knew that for some reason, the Ye Tian family was completely a guardian. Without the protection of their family, the surname would have been transferred long ago.
He has held such a stable throne for decades. In the days to come, he will still have to rely on the patron saint family!
"This is not possible. The general's military power is firmly held by him. If the prime minister can beat the young general, then it is okay to give the military power to the prime minister."
The minister listened to them, and the two of them It was all a duel between old foxes, and I was laughing secretly in my heart. If Liu Xu could really beat him, he wouldn't be so embarrassed last time.
When Liu Xu heard Long Hong say this, it was exposing his shortcomings, and he secretly hated him. Would he not fight if he could beat him?
Looking at Tang Weiguo, the old man was laughing at him secretly. His face turned red and green with anger, and his beard was about to stand up.
"Your Majesty, you can leave this task to Tang Weiguo, he is idle!"
Tang Weiguo didn't expect this old fox to dump the goods on him. Although he could do it, he felt unhappy. The emperor asked him to do it, but he was asked to do it. How could he feel happy?
"The Prime Minister said this, and I think it's okay, but let's listen to the opinions of both of you before making a decision! What does the Minister think?"
King Long Hong wants to The two of them started fighting again. As long as two people started fighting, he would hand over the responsibility to them.
Tang Weiguo glared at Liu Xu. This old and cunning old man was looking for trouble for him. If he could drag him into trouble, if he wanted to dump the goods on him, there was no way, so he would let him do it too.
"Your Majesty, didn't the Prime Minister say that he is fine and free? Then let him bring people to help. I heard that someone has sneaked into the city recently. How can the Prime Minister not help and watch? ”
Long Hong saw that the effect was very good, let them bite the dog, and they would not be idle. By leaving these two things to them, he could practice in seclusion.
Although this is not reassuring, the general family will definitely not stand by and watch. If anything happens, these two people will take care of it.
Long Hong thought that maybe if he stayed in seclusion for a day or two, nothing big would happen, but as a precaution, Ye Tian was sent out again.
At this moment, no big thing is more important than his retreat and cultivation. He only wants to improve his health and improve his cultivation level as quickly as possible.
"Since the two ministers have said this, let your people guard the imperial city and check if you have any spies. I have been feeling a little unwell these days and have to practice in seclusion for two days. This You must work hard in these two days.”
Liu Xu and Tang Weiguo became a little helpless. They each recommended the other, but they did not expect that both of them would bear the responsibility. The responsibility did not belong to them in the first place!
Liu Xu looked at Long Hong's face with bright eyes. Within a few days, the king's face became even more ugly. Sure enough, he was going to die soon.
It seems that the medicine he ordered worked. As long as the king dies, there will be a chance for all this.
When Liu Xu thought like this, how could it be so easy for the king to rest? The more tired the king was, the more likely he would collapse, and the easier it would be for the medicine to take effect.
"Your Majesty, you have a lot of plans. If you don't go to court for two days, what should you do if something suddenly happens? Why don't you let me help you?"
Tang Weiguo didn't understand why the king wanted to retreat, but seeing that his face looked very bad, he couldn't help but said with concern: "Your Majesty, how is the diagnosis made by the imperial doctor? It's time to take a rest."
Long Hong looked at the two people. Their expressions are different. One is genuinely concerned, while the other is pretending to seize power.
Sighing inwardly, he was on guard against his sons not establishing a prince. If there was anything he could ask the princes to help him with.
It’s a pity that I haven’t chosen which prince will succeed me yet. I think he still has a chance to sit in this position for a longer time. If he is appointed as a prince, the competition between the prince and the prince will become more intense. If he takes this position It's even harder if you don't pass it quickly.
To give the power to the cunning look, he might as well ask the general to help look after him. Shangshu is also a good candidate.
Looking at Tang Weiguo in front of him, he felt that his son was a good choice as the eldest princess's consort, but it was a pity that his eldest princess did not understand his father's painstaking efforts.
But this is not up to the princess. These things will be put on the agenda after he comes out of seclusion.
"Our country is prosperous and powerful, how can it be so easy to cause chaos after just two days of rest? If there are no beloved ministers here, that's it."
Liu Xu frowned unwillingly, beside him With Tang Weiguo here, many things cannot be done.
A spy has entered the city, isn't it the same person who came to his house?
I wonder what Tang Weiguo in front of me really knows? There is still something in the words, and they are bumping into each other randomly!
Tang Weiguo didn't think much about it. The king looked bad and wanted to take a rest. It was right for him to shoulder some responsibilities as a minister.
Long Hong has arranged the matter and wants to retreat to the bedroom. There is no need to talk about the matter that he asked Tang Weiguo to discuss with Ye Tian before. In front of Liu Xu, he will not talk about it. go out.
So he waved, and the chief eunuch went back to the bedroom together. When he returned to the bedroom, he asked the chief eunuch not to tell anything about them, and to ask everyone present to keep their mouths shut.
The chief eunuch took the order and went out. If the emperor did not go to court, there must be more things to keep him busy, and he felt a little reluctant.
He had known about Long Hong's fate not long ago, and he knew one of the reasons for this.
But in front of Ye Tian, how could he dare to show it, and later he changed his mind. Anyway, it is different who becomes the king.
He also had the idea of becoming a king before, so he agreed to Liu Xu drugging the king.
But now I have changed my mind. People and families like Ye Tian don't look down on the position of the king. There is a chance to enter the path of cultivating immortals and become an immortal.
Of course he also wants to have such a skill. In the future, he will leave more things to his apprentices. If he has those pills, he will have the opportunity to become more capable.
Liu Xu didn't know that the eunuch in charge was hiding something, he just thought that Long Hong really couldn't bear it and had to stay in bed.
Then he only needs to wait for a few days before he can take action.
Looking at the king's walking pace, he is getting weaker and weaker.
