Long Hong also knew that if there was a tax collection, the officials of the city lords in various places might have refused to collect the tax. The laws of a country already existed.
Now that top-quality elixirs have appeared, he, as the king, feels aggrieved if the city lords who have the top-quality elixirs don't take the initiative to come here.
But I also know that black and white must be distinguished. How can we blame Ye Tian for things that 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, so he definitely can't say these things to the princes.
Long Hong only received a promise of six top-grade elixirs. Even those top-grade pills were not enough for him, 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 down yet.
The prince has not yet been established, just like every generation, they have to go through constant competition to choose the best one.
He may not necessarily be the eldest prince, nor may he be his favorite. Back then, he was 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, he may 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 mute their voices.
"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 on the order. Every city must
The offering? It must be offered.”
"Father, there are no rules. If Ye Tian makes a mistake, he must be severely punished."
A prince said reluctantly.
Long Hong has too many sons, but he can still distinguish the names of his own sons. This prince who refuses to give up is the 13th prince, a young and energetic boy who does not know how high the sky is.
The other princes also followed suit, saying that Ye Tian did not act according to the rules, and small crimes were also crimes, and no exceptions could be made for urgent matters.
The more Long Hong listened, the more annoyed he became. This was not over. He kept asking the same question. He snorted angrily and said: "I'm not your father anymore. I'm still sitting here. You guys have so many opinions. Normally you guys
No matter what I do, I will just turn a blind eye. The prince and the people are equally guilty."
I got angry, and the princes were a little reluctant, but they didn't dare to say any more. The men didn't dare to say anything anymore, and the women even more didn't dare 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 must be given by this father.
After irritating me, no one wants to fall out of favor and be disliked by me.
The chief eunuch had been standing aside to watch the fun. He really hoped that these princes would cause trouble.
But he didn't want them to make too much trouble. The emperor would feel annoyed and would definitely leave the matter to him. He was busy, so why would 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 people from Chengdu bother him here?
Your noble status cannot be practiced outside. This has both advantages and disadvantages.
His sons do not need to go outside to obtain 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 against each other and not really using their skills to fight.
The inheritance in the palace is just 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 he flew from high altitude.
Regardless of Ye Tian'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're summoned. I'm not that free!"
Long Hong issued an order to expel the guests, but the princes and princesses did not dare to say anything more and could only turn around and leave.
But when they turned around, they saw the Prime Minister and Shangshu coming in.
The two people were blushing 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 didn't see him when he summoned people. He came to see this old man by himself. He couldn't get angry and bickered for half an hour. However, they still didn't dare to make a fuss and their identities were exposed. Neither of them had a problem.
Fight in 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's the eldest princess, did something happen?"
When the Prime Minister asked such gossip, the Minister also had the same idea, but today the Emperor specially summoned him, and there must be something else. He was waiting for Long Hong quietly, and told him secretly.
"There's nothing else, why don't you leave?"
When Long Hong saw Liu Xu's cunning face, he even got a headache. Wasn't he on vacation? Why did he show up whenever something happened?
"yes"
The princes and princesses also wanted to know why these two ministers wanted to see the king, but they were only sons and could not ask about state affairs.
She is a prince but does not have a real official position. She can stand in the main hall at this moment because she is the king's prince and princess.
State-owned and state laws are not something they can know, but they are the same and cannot know them.
The princes and princesses retreated.
Liu Xu didn't pay attention to this topic. The emperor didn't answer just now, maybe because he wanted to cover up his ugliness.
Who is Long Feifeng for? Why are they running so fast in the palace?
Wait a minute, he will find out once he checks it.
"Your Majesty, I have finished my vacation. My body and my son's health are both well."
Long Hong secretly laughed in his heart, if it was not good, why would he be arguing with Shangshu on the street? Where would they put their old faces?
But he pretended not to know. Since these two people arrived a step late, it was not a good thing. They didn't know that the best elixir was better.
Liu Xu is the most taboo minister of his. He doesn't want him to know about the top-quality elixir. It may be something he can't hide. How long can he hide it? How long.
Long Hong's eyes rolled. He had to assign some work to this treacherous official 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 investigate, 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 all the responsibility. 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 was looking for a reason to want 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 can't be done. The general's military power is firmly held by him. If the prime minister can beat the young general, then it's okay to give the military power to the prime minister."
Shangshu listened to them talking, both of them were old foxes fighting each other, and secretly smiled in his 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 him if he could beat him?
He glanced at Tang Weiguo and saw that 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 free!"
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 do you think, Minister?"
King Long Hong wanted the two of them to fight again. As long as they 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. He could drag him into trouble. If he wanted to dump the goods to 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, so he asked them to fight dogs and not have anything to do. 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 was more important than his retreat and cultivation. He only wanted to get his body in shape faster and improve his cultivation level.
"Since the two ministers have said so, let your people guard the imperial city to check whether you have any spies. I have been feeling a little unwell these past few days and have to practice in seclusion for two days. During these two days, you must Do your job well."
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 things to do. 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 go into seclusion, 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 saw that the expressions of the two people were different. One was genuinely concerned, while the other was pretending to seize power.
He sighed inwardly, guarding 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 established as a prince, the competition between the prince and the prince will become more fierce. If his position is not passed quickly, it will be more difficult.
Instead of handing over power to a cunning and cunning man, he might as well ask the general to look after him, and the minister 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 so prosperous and powerful, how can it be so easy to cause chaos just by taking two days' rest? If I don't have my beloved ministers here, that's it."
Liu Xu frowned unwillingly. With Tang Weiguo by his side, many things could not be done.
If a spy entered the city, wouldn't it be the same person who came to his house?
I don’t know if Tang Weiguo in front of me really knows anything? Or is there something hidden in his words?
Tang Weiguo didn't think so much. The king looked bad and wanted to take a rest. It was right for him to shoulder some responsibilities as a minister.
Long Hong arranged the matter and was about to retreat to the bedroom. There was no need to talk about the matter that he had asked Tang Weiguo to discuss with Ye Tian before. In front of Liu Xu, he would not tell anything about it.
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 eunuch in charge 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, he didn't dare to show it. Later he changed his mind. Anyway, it's different who becomes the king.
He had thought about 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 like the position of king. There is a chance to enter the path of cultivating immortals and become an immortal.
Of course he also wants to have such knowledge. 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 chief eunuch had concealed the matter. 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.
