"That's true!" Zhang Qingyun thought for a moment and laughed: "From now on, our Xiliang vegetables will be of top quality everywhere. After all, they are supplies for royal banquets."
"It's good to know!" Li Xiang picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "This wine is very good."
Zhang Qingyun shook his head: "No, I don't drink well. Today is unusual. A lot of things will happen soon. I need to keep a clear head."
Although top-level masters can use real energy to force out the alcohol, the feeling of being drunk will still remain.
Today's banquet is no ordinary banquet. Each of the 20 tables near the emperor represents a force.
The 20 tables outside are for people who really come to the banquet. They can drink and have fun openly.
Li Xiang and his party cannot do this. The regulations of the chaotic world, as well as the situation of the entire eastern world in the next few years, are all in this conversation.
The problems between the grassland and the Northern Army, the disputes between the southern demon clan, the White Lotus Sect and Daqian.
The Dragon Clan of the East China Sea was not to be outdone. They also wanted to participate in this great struggle, but the Royal Navy was always on top of them, suppressing them from moving.
The Royal Navy does not leave the East China Sea for a day. The Dragon Clan of the East China Sea and the immortal cultivators on the overseas fairy islands want to approach Daqian in a big way, which is just wishful thinking.
The future of the entire Eastern world lies in this banquet.
People around were discussing quietly, but no one jumped out yet.
It seems as if everyone is really celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After about half an hour, the people from the East China Sea Dragon Clan couldn't help but jump out.
"Your Majesty, I wonder what you think of the Chaos World?" Dragon Clan Longzi stood up and said, "The Chaos World is where our Mysterious World and the Blue Star Realm resolve their grievances.
The Azure Star Realm has been plotting against the Mysterious Realm for thousands of years. A thousand years ago, Emperor Shenwu led an army to conquer the Azure Star Realm, allowing them to live in peace for a thousand years. Now, they are here again.
You have also created a world like the Chaos World, I wonder what your Majesty is going to do?"
The emperor put down the cup, looked at Long Zi who had transformed into a human form, and asked, "What are your dragon clan's plans?"
Longzi replied: "My Dragon Clan actively supports Your Majesty's idea. If you choose to fight against the Blue Star Realm, then our Dragon Clan army will follow you!"
"Then what if I choose not to fight?" The emperor looked at Long Zi with a half-smile.
"Then I, the dragon clan, will take it upon myself to protect the waves of the East China Sea and ensure that the dynasty is in good health!" Long Zi said with a serious face.
The weather is going well. Many people sneered when they heard this sentence. Now the southeast region is in a state of corruption. They don't believe it if the Dragon Clan doesn't make some small moves behind it.
The dragon's talent can indeed control the power of wind and rain, but it only transfers the rain from one place to another place where it is needed, which costs a lot of real energy. Without the emperor's order, the dragon would not do these backbreaking tasks.
The emperor glanced at the people at the twenty tables and said calmly: "Dongzhou belongs to me!"
Everyone has known about the emperor's choice for a long time, but some powerful people also chose Dongzhou, such as the grassland people, but the grassland people dare not say it out now.
The leader of a sect with a great master stood up and said: "Your Majesty, our Dajiang Sect also wants to station in Dongzhou Continent, please allow your Majesty!"
"Dongzhou is very big!" The emperor did not answer directly, but looked at the grassland people: "It seems that you not only have to fight me in the mysterious world, but also have to fight me when you enter the chaotic world!"
The representative of the grassland people said with a smile: "Back to the emperor, as your majesty said, Dongzhou is very big. The other states are not suitable for the people of Changshengtian to live in. I can only choose Dongzhou continent. Please forgive me, Emperor Daqian."
"It's okay, the Dongzhou Continent is so vast that even if there are many you grassland people, they are not that many!" The emperor said with a smile: "You just have to be careful. After all, if you choose to be in the blue star realm of the Dongzhou Continent, you will have a lot of power."
"I don't have to worry about it anymore, Emperor Daqian." The representative of the grassland people also said with a smile: "We grassland people still have some ability to protect ourselves."
The emperor took a liking to the sect representative: "I wonder if you have a choice?"
Xuantian Sect Master said: "Our Xuantian Sect has chosen Zhongzhou Continent. There are many sect forces from the Blue Star Realm in Zhongzhou Continent. I want to see the sect power in that world."
"I, Shushan Sword Sect, also choose Zhongzhou Continent."
....
Each major sect has announced the continent they have chosen. Seriously, it is not a secret. After the major forces enter the world of chaos, everyone who needs to know will know.
After the sect forces revealed the continent they had chosen, the emperor looked at the princes.
The Eighth Prince was the youngest, so he was the first to speak out: "Your Majesty, Chen Di has chosen Nanzhou Continent."
Nanzhou Continent is the place with the lowest sense of existence among the five continents in the Chaos World. At the same time, Nanzhou Continent is also the most remote among the five continents, and its aura is lower than the other four continents.
The only thing worth paying attention to is that there is a huge underground space underground in the southern continent, which forms a world of its own.
"Eighth brother, you actually chose the same place as Governor Li!" He glanced at Li Xiang meaningfully.
The Eighth Prince was a little surprised: "Li Governor, did you also choose Nanzhou Continent?"
"Li has no intention of fighting for hegemony, he just wants to find a place to farm. The continent is vast, sparsely populated, and has many plains. Because of the low spiritual energy, the power of Nanzhou continent will be less." Li Xiang said and looked at it. The Eighth Prince: "I didn't expect that the Eighth Prince would also choose this place to hide from the world."
In addition to the above shortcomings of Nanzhou Continent, there is another point that is very worthy of attention, that is, Nanzhou Continent is separated from the three major states of Zhongzhou, Dongzhou, and Xizhou by continuous mountains.
These mountains are very steep, and there are many ferocious beasts, demonic beasts, and some evil spirits in them.
It is difficult to enter the other three continents from Nanzhou Continent. Of course, it is also the same for the other three continents to enter Nanzhou Continent.
In Li Xiang's view, Nanzhou Continent is a very good place to escape from the world.
Zhongzhou Continent is the center of the chaotic world, and there will naturally be many battles there. It is similar on the Dongzhou Continent. The emperor will not allow other forces that can compete with him to coexist.
Xizhou is the battle between the beliefs of the Western world and Buddhism.
If you're in Beizhou, I'll probably call you from morning to night.
I don’t know why monsters, evil beasts, ferocious beasts and other beast races are going to Beizhou, and there are also 100,000 shamans from the mountains who are also entering Beizhou.
If you think about so many beasts living in Beizhou, you can understand the living environment there.
"Second brother, what about you?" The emperor looked at the second prince. This was his biggest opponent, and the power he controlled was the most powerful among all the princes.
"Back to Your Majesty, I plan to stay in Zhongzhou." The prince originally planned to go to Dongzhou Continent, but when he thought about the power in the emperor's hands, he became afraid.
As a royal, he knows the power of the royal family best. Perhaps the emperor is not as powerful as them locally.
But in the imperial capital, no one in the world can compete with him.
Even if the world is in chaos, as long as the emperor does not leave the imperial capital, no one can hurt him, and no one can conquer this thousands-year-old ancient city.
In order to protect themselves, the emperors of Daqian consolidated the imperial capital for countless years. The first thing each generation of emperors did when they took office was to repair the capital.
At the same time, the army and practitioners in the imperial capital are all loyal to the emperor.
During the Qian Dynasty in history, there were several times when the world was in chaos and the emperor lost control of areas outside the imperial capital, but he still lived a corrupt life in the imperial capital.
When other members of the royal family returned and regained control of the world, nearly ten million troops besieged the imperial capital and attacked for decades, but they were unable to capture the city.
It was not until that emperor died that his descendants, in order to fight for power, lured people from outside to the city and took over the imperial capital.
After that emperor took the imperial capital into his hands, he allowed the families who controlled the imperial capital's army to still control the army without any change.
At the same time, the ground defenses were once again reinforced.
The imperial capital has been passed down from generation to generation and is extremely strong.
Therefore, no matter how chaotic the world is, the emperor can sit back and relax in the imperial capital. Even if they, the princes, take the world into their hands, they still have to wait until the eldest brother dies if they want to be on the throne of the imperial capital.
Otherwise, don’t even think about it.
If you want to restrain the emperor, you must take the Zhili area around the imperial capital, or seal off the surrounding areas of Zhili so that the emperor cannot stretch out his hands. Only in this way can the emperor be restrained.
Otherwise, with the financial and material resources in the hands of the emperor, and giving him enough time, he can revive the great cadres.
It's a pity that no one wants to see it, even if the princes know it, the Dagan is torn apart because of their existence.
They will not give up the power in their hands, nor will they stop fighting for hegemony, because they represent not only themselves, but also the major forces standing behind them.
Those people support them, and all their wealth and lives are on them. Even if they don't want to fight, the people behind will push them forward.
This is life.
The emergence of the chaotic world gave the emperor a new path, because the financial resources in his hands could be used.
Even if the major forces block Zhili, so what, he can definitely take his troops into the chaotic world and train the army in the chaotic world.
The food, primeval stones, gold and silver buried under the imperial capital will all be transformed into the emperor's power.
With thousands of years of savings, the emperor may have more financial and material resources in his hands than what the entire world has buried among the people.
All the princes knew this, so they were unwilling to go to Dongzhou Continent to face the emperor.
Only those who are half-informed would think of provoking someone with thousands of years of knowledge.
Other things are either in Zhongzhou or Nanzhou, and no one is willing to go to Dongzhou to be the emperor's neighbor.
"Your Majesty, I wonder if the Royal Navy should continue to suppress the East China Sea, or should it enter the world of chaos?" the person in charge of the Royal Navy asked.
Daqian Royal Navy is a force that many forces want to avoid but cannot avoid. They are only loyal to the Daqian Emperor. All major forces want to ignore them, but they cannot.
This navy army apparently has two great masters, eight powerful masters, and as many as 24 first-rate generals, not to mention second-rate and third-rate generals.
They were originally established to suppress the Dragon Tribe of the East China Sea and the overseas fairy islands. The major cities along the East China Sea have always been in peace and calm. The southeastern inland area is in a state of decay, and the coastal cities remain as before.
It is because of the existence of this navy that no force dares to offend and use their own flesh and blood to provoke this army that was built up through fighting.
Although the Royal Navy has suppressed the East China Sea and has been staying away from the government, it does not mean that the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy is unaware of the current situation.
He wanted to let the Xiliang Navy return to the Zhili area. With the Xiliang Navy here, no one would dare to block the water transportation and return the Tongtian River to the emperor's hands.
But he never received an order from His Majesty, so he could only lead the naval army to suppress the Dragon Clan and vent his anger on the Dragon Clan and overseas practitioners.
Therefore, the dragon clan is now respectful to the emperor, fearing that the emperor will ask the Royal Navy to increase its efforts.
After hearing the words of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, many powerful people looked towards the emperor. Many of them were from sects and aristocratic families involved in the water transport.
Who is most afraid of the Royal Navy returning to the Tongtian River is the sects and aristocratic families involved in water transport.
When the Royal Navy comes back, if they dare to stretch out their hands, the Royal Navy men will cut off their hands directly, confiscate their homes and exterminate their families.
No one can threaten the Royal Navy because the Royal Navy's families all live in the imperial capital.
To be precise, he mainly serves as a soldier in the imperial capital, and his family members will be taken to the imperial capital. Anyway, the imperial capital has enough land for them to live.
Together with the imperial capital, they both suffered losses and prospered, and stayed with the emperor.
The soldiers of the Royal Navy are like the soldiers of the Imperial Guard. Their families are protected by the Imperial City, and it is difficult to do anything secretly.
Facing the Royal Navy, which has no taboos, everyone is afraid.
They don't want the Royal Navy to come back. Wouldn't it be better to let the Royal Navy continue to fight against the Dragon Clan?
Dragon Clan Longzi's eyes lit up when he heard the words of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. If the Huang family Shuizhi left the East China Sea, the shackles on their Dragon Clan would be released.
The emperor pondered for a while and then said to Li Xiang: "I don't know, what does Governor Li think? Let the Royal Navy continue to guard the East China Sea, or let them return to the Tongtian River."
The Commander-in-Chief of the Navy looked at Li Xiang. He had a lot of information about Li Xiang and was very interested in the Xiliang Navy under Li Xiang. The Xiliang Navy was known as the second navy in Daqian.
The first navy is naturally the Royal Navy.
Li Xiang was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the emperor would ask him.
"Aiqing, I have a naval force in my hands, and I should know something about the navy. I wonder if Aiqing thinks it would be better for the navy to return to Tongtian River, or to continue guarding the East China Sea."
Doesn't this offend people?
Li Xiang felt a wave of malice around him, especially those involved in water transport.
Li Xiang picked up the wine glass and took a sip and said: "Of course it would be better to go back to Tongtianhe.
There is some chaos in the world now. From the imperial capital to the mouth of the Tongtian River, I don’t know how many cities passed through during this period. They prospered because of water transportation, and the residents on both sides of the strait also lived because of water transportation.
If the Royal Navy can return to the Tongtian River, with the strength of the navy's army, it shouldn't be a problem to suppress both sides of the canal transport."
Li Xiang ignored the looks that wanted to kill him and continued: "However, if the losses stay in Hanoi for a long time, the combat power will be reduced, so why don't you, Your Majesty, hand over the control of Longcheng at the mouth of Tongtian River to the Royal Navy?
, so that the Royal Navy can connect with the overseas."
Zhenlong City is the city where the Tongtian River enters the sea. It is also a checkpoint for ships entering the sea and the river. The imperial court has always sent people to garrison it.
This city has nothing to do with the navy, and no one has ever thought of letting the navy take control of the city.
Because once the navy is allowed to take control of this city, no one will be able to control the royal navy.
The only shackles stuck on their bodies disappeared, and from then on, they could come in and out at will without restraint.
For the forces along the waterway, they have a knife hanging on their necks, and their heads may be cut off at any time.
"I object!" a voice spread before Li Xiang finished speaking.
