Gaunt!

The new king is so haggard that Ye Zhen is almost unable to recognize him.

Ye Zhen met the new king Ji Ao once half a year ago. At that time, Ji Ao was full of energy and spirit. He didn't have to do anything deliberately. Just stand there and the emperor's aura came out, making many nobles and warriors feel awe-in and dare not look at him.

Even Ye Zhen could feel the strong oppression from Ji Ao.

But when he saw him today, Ye Zhen suddenly realized that even though the new king Ji Ao was wearing a full set of crown clothes, the surrounding ceremonial guards were shining, he lost the previous sense of oppression.

I don’t know if it was because Ye Zhen’s cultivation level improved or because Ji Ao was under tremendous pressure.

However, from this point of view alone, we can know how much pressure the new king Ji Ao is facing now!

At the entrance of the palace, Ji Ao welcomed Ye Zhen with a warm look on his face, and even called Ye Zhen the sister-in-law for the first time. Then he personally spoke with Ye Zhen to greet him, walked side by side with Ye Zhen, and stepped into the Hefu Palace.

The court officials who accompanied him and the guards who were serving the instructors and maids were also surprised, and there were too many surprises.

After all, Ye Zhen is now worthy of this courtesy of the King of North Sea, not to mention that Ye Zhen is now the real king of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Hefu Palace is usually the place where the royal family holds a family banquet, and is now used to entertain Ye Zhen, which shows the kind of intention in Ji Ao that wants to express his affection to Ye Zhen.

Since the emperor has set a tone of kindness and is eager to express friendship with Ye Zhen, the courtiers are naturally extremely dedicated and have various praises to Ye Zhen.

This meal was quite comfortable.

But in comparison, Ye Zhen prefers a big bowl of wine and eats meat without any scheming.

When a princess gets married, it can barely be considered a state affairs, but the marriage matter is decided early. Now, just discussing the wedding date and specific marriage matters has become a family matter.

After the banquet, an eunuch delivered sobering soup. Although the wine was not intoxicating, Ye Zhen was then led to Donglai Pavilion.

Ye Zhen knew that he was finally going to talk about the serious matters.

After changing clothes, Ji Ao, who was dressed in a normal dress, came over and had to talk about the first thing he had to do was naturally the marriage.

In fact, there is not much to talk about in these things.

The fiefdom, mansion, wedding ceremony and even the date of marriage are all under the responsibility of the Grand Secretariat. Now it is just because of Ye Zhen's status. I will tell Ye Zhen to hear about some things that have been decided long ago to see if Ye Zhen has any different opinions.

Ye Zhen has no objection to these.

Ye Zhen cared about Princess Changle, not fiefdoms and dowry.

After talking about this, the new king Ji Ao suddenly rubbed his hands a little, looking a little embarrassed.

In the early years, when he had not ascended the throne or even became the prince, he had conflicts with Ye Zhenduo, which was even severe.

At that time, he only wanted to take revenge on Ye Zhen after one day he had gained power, kill Ye Zhen, and even let Ye Zhen beg him, kneel in front of him and beg him to let him go.

Such thoughts lingered in the mind of Xinjun Ji Ao for a long time.

However, as the world changes, the new king Ji Ao ascended the throne and took power, but he has never had the opportunity and power to take revenge on Ye Zhen.

On the other hand, today, he asked Ye Zhen to help.

Although he has not kneeled down to Ye Zhen so far, the various low postures he made today are no different from kneeling down to him, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Rubbing his hands awkwardly, Ji Ao finally spoke as he discussed with Prime Minister Wen Gang and his father Ji Long.

"Son-in-law, your elder brother-in-law, I am now facing difficulties. These four rebels slandered me by the fact that the concubine Yan committed suicide. Now there are demons outside and demons invading, four rebels siege inside, and the rebellion of many local nobles under the invasion of human hearts makes it really difficult for me to deal with.

I wonder if my sister-in-law can take action and help me overcome this difficulty."

This passage of help that Ji Ao could be called a slap in the face in his heart, and it was quite difficult.

However, after saying that, Ji Ao still breathed a sigh of relief. For an emperor, the most difficult thing is to bow his head.

My head has already lowered, so it would be fine to ask Ye Zhen, his past rival.

Ye Zhen could hear that this time, Ji Ao made great efforts to ask for help.

Not to mention anything else, in front of Ye Zhen, Ji Ao no longer called himself "I", but instead used me, which was an extremely rare attitude.

This shows that the new king Ji Ao has put himself in the same position as Ye Zhen before coming to ask for Ye Zhen’s affairs.

Ye Zhen had already decided on this matter before.

Prince Li Jiyuan, Prince Xun Ji and Prince Ning Ji Yuan, who are supported by the three holy places in Tianmiao, are actually Ye Zhen's enemies. On the contrary, the object that these three parties are now attacking is Ye Zhen's ally.

Even if Ye Zhen takes some action, he won’t take too much control.

"Your Majesty, I want to ask me how to help you?" Ji Ao's attitude was very strong. Ye Zhen's attitude was also very strong now, and he did not take advantage of the opportunity to swear.

As soon as Ye Zhen said this, Ji Ao knew there was a chance. A talisman flashed out between his fingers, and a huge military spirit map appeared in front of Ye Zhen and Ji Ao.

"My sister-in-law, the four rebels besieged me, but my command is not without troops. The key is that many local nobles secretly serve them, resulting in many changes in the military camp.

So what I mean is that you will help me deal with these four armies that attacked me. The Zhenhai Army under your command is all from several counties in the Beihai region, and the possibility of internal changes is extremely small.

Furthermore, your Zhenhai Army is the most powerful army in the world and has a very high chance of victory.”

After saying that, Ji Ao added, "Of course, it's not all. It's okay for you to help me deal with one or two of them, it depends on you."

Ye Zhen looked at the military spirit map and lowered his head and said nothing.

Ji Ao, who was a little anxious, hurriedly said, "Of course, it's not just about Zhenhaijun. If your sister-in-law wants to have any conditions, you can just ask."

The new king Ji Ao is trying to let Ye Zhen put the conditions on.

Ye Zhen carefully studied the military spirit map provided by Ji Ao for a while, and under Ji Ao's earnest expectations, he slowly spoke, "Your Majesty, let me and my Zhenhai Army take action, there is no problem, but I have the conditions."

When he heard this, the new king Ji Ao was overjoyed.

Before this, what he feared the most was Ye Zhen's rejection.

Because he discussed with a group of important officials and the remnant souls of his father Ji Long to search for it, he found that Ye Zhen and his power are the only force to break through the current dilemma.

Now Ye Zhen agreed, naturally he was overjoyed.

Ji Ao hurriedly slapped his chest, "What are the conditions? My sister-in-law can ask for it. As long as you can defeat the enemy and win, I will agree to all the conditions."

Although he was extremely happy, Ji Ao did not say everything, leaving some room for him.

"really?"

"really!"

"good!"

Ye Zhen's fingers passed by the military spirit map, "I can defeat all four rebels for Your Majesty, but I want absolute command!"

"For absolute command, please let my sister-in-law explain it clearly." Ji Ao said.

"Your Majesty, in these four war zones, whether it is the local troops left behind in the front line or the rear, as well as local nobles and officials, the ministers must have absolute command and power of life and death.

At that time, no matter whether it is a general or a veteran noble, whoever I want to kill, I will kill, and how the army will act, and Your Majesty and Luoyi will not have any obstacles.

Of course, I will submit a secret copy to Your Majesty to explain the root of these actions. However, even if Your Majesty disagrees, I will not change it."

After saying that, Ye Zhen added, "Including the holy priests of the Ancestral Temple, you must all obey my commands. No one in the Ancestral Temple is allowed to interfere."

Ye Zhen's condition naturally has its roots. The power of the Ancestral Temple was targeted or even hostile to Ye Zhen before, and Ji Ao also understood.

"No problem!" Ji Ao agreed very happily, "I can give you the second general of the cavalry in the history of this dynasty. In the territory, before the king's order is reached, the upper controls the army and the lower controls the people, and all illegal acts can be killed!"

"In addition, I can ask Bai Xiang to go with you and take charge of the Ancestor God Jin Ling and you. If any priest in the Ancestor Temple dares not obey the orders, you can kill him!"

Ji Ao made arrangements based on specific details, and the promise was very sincere.

Ye Zhen nodded and said, "On the day of leaving the army, I want the army's food and grass for six months, various consuming weapons and supplies, I want five times the number of troops in the sea!"

Five times, this number is a bit too many.

However, the wealth that the Great Zhou Dynasty has accumulated over the past countless years is very strong.

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Ao nodded, "No problem, five times more than five times."

"Okay, last condition!"

"I need at least six holy sacrifices in the Creation God King realm, twenty holy sacrifices in the Creation God General realm, more than half of them are needed to have holy sacrifices in the middle and late stages of the Creation God General!"

The new king Ji Ao, who had just appeared on his face, suddenly froze and became ugly.

"This...son-in-law, can this condition be..."

"Absolutely not possible!" Ye Zhen refused with a firm determination, "Your Majesty, your Majesty should have known the detailed information about the five kings who were in Yizhishahai before?"

Ji Ao nodded with a frustrated look.

Ye Zhen was a little surprised. Why did Ji Ao's expression suddenly become like this when he mentioned this?

It shouldn't be.

Ye Zhen’s last condition is the most normal thing.

"Your Majesty, since Tianmiao can send out the divine punishment of the Five Kings in Yizhishahai, then if I lead my troops to fight, Tianmiao will also give me a divine punishment of the Five Kings?

At that time, no matter how strong my Zhenhai Army is, it will turn into ashes under the punishment of the Five Kings.

Therefore, the holy sacrifices of the six God of Creation Realm are already the minimum requirements for the ministers.

If possible, I hope Your Majesty can give me more holy sacrifices to the God of Creation Realm.

Seven are not too few, eight are not too many, preferably ten God of Creation, that would be even better!" Ye Zhen said.

"Uh..." Ji Ao squeezed out an extremely ugly smile on his face, "This, let me consider it."
