As Taichu Dynasty allied with Qinghe Kingdom, Qinghe Kingdom sent a large number of experts to Taichu territory. In order to facilitate management, Taichu Imperial Court set up Qingyan Hall, where all experts from Qinghe Kingdom who came to Taichu were incorporated. At the same time, they were granted many privileges..

For the past two months, Taichu Emperor Li Boqian had been hanging out with Zaoji, the envoy of Qing He, almost every day. At first, he secretly went to the Qixing Palace for private meetings. Later, he arranged Zaoji into the harem without any reason, completely ignoring the objections of many concubines and ministers..

No one could notice that when Li Boqian and Zaoji fell from the dragon to the phoenix, his eyes faintly had a strange purple light, as if he had lost his soul. Nine pale purple tails appeared behind Zaoji, reflecting her even more charming, but Li Boqian did not notice it and worked hard to his heart's content..

Since the alliance between the two countries, Li Boqian's character has become more erratic, violent and moody. In two months, more than a dozen officials have been punished for their speech mistakes in the court, and even two have been sentenced to death, which makes civil and military officials panic..

The emperor was even more arbitrary in handling government affairs, especially when it came to matters related to the Qing Dynasty. He was extremely partial to the Qing Dynasty. Prime Minister Liu Zhiyong argued in court and was reprimanded by the emperor many times. Perhaps due to the prestige of the old prime minister, he did not punish Liu Zhiyong, but the relationship between the two was extremely tense..

One month ago, there were constant conflicts at the border between Absolute Beginning and Eastern Xia. The relationship between the two countries was very tense. Eastern Xia brazenly sent 50,000 troops to capture a small border city belonging to Absolute Beginning Dynasty. They clamored that if Absolute Beginning Dynasty did not pay 100,000 taels of gold, they would continue to send more troops to attack Kaiyuan City and capture the Emperor of Absolute Beginning alive..

Li Boqian was furious when he heard the news. His Majesty wanted to transfer Marshal Lin Chuhe, who was stationed on the western front at this time, to the south to teach the East Xia people a lesson..

However, before he issued the edict, Long Yansi, the chief of Qing Yan Hall, met with His Majesty and said that he did not need to use a single soldier at the beginning of the dynasty. He could defeat the 50,000 troops with 100 Qing Yan Hall priests. Li Boqian agreed happily. He could see the ability of Qing He people..

As a result, the Qing Dynasty worshiped 50,000 Dongxia soldiers and killed 5,000 enemy troops. The Dongxia people were defeated and fled..

According to the experts sent by the emperor, in this battle, Qing He summoned countless powerful shadows to assist him. The Eastern Xia soldiers were defeated without any resistance..

Li Boqian was overjoyed and had more confidence in the combat power of Qinghe people..

On the morning of the day Huang Xin obtained the flood dragon's body, the officials looked at the emperor with trepidation. Everyone had a vague feeling that something big was about to happen.

"Dear friends, I have something important to announce..

The Lord's people are waiting patiently for the Lord's word, and the Lord's people are waiting patiently for the Lord's word..

"A large number of Qinghe experts have arrived and defeated the Eastern Xia Army a few days ago. They have displayed great strength. However, if our Taichu Empire wants to regain its glory, it is far from enough to have the help of Qinghe Kingdom. I have decided to send 500,000 more troops from now on to strengthen our Taichu army..

"I'm sorry," said Li Boqian arrogantly, as if he had already unified the world..

"Your Majesty, you mustn't!.

Liu Zhiyong quickly knelt down and said.

" Liu Aiqing, what do you think is wrong?" Li Boqian narrowed his eyes and his tone was filled with anger..

Liu Zhiyong did not seem to hear the emperor's dissatisfaction. He continued,"Your Majesty, I am now living in Yingzhou. The people's lives are not rich. The pressure on the people is already great. If we send another 500,000 troops, the people will not be able to bear it.".

"500,000 recruits need at least 20 million people to support them, and these 500,000 people are young and vigorous. Without these labor, the people may not even have food. Your Majesty, please think twice.".

Liu Zhiyong excitedly said, the old prime minister's face with wrinkles is now cloudy.

" I will naturally pay attention to what you said. From tomorrow onwards, the Military Aircraft Temple will take charge of the reinforcement. If there is nothing else, retreat!" Li Boqian perfunctorily replied to Liu Zhiyong and was about to get up and leave..

" Your Majesty, you can't. If Your Majesty insists, Taichu will be in chaos!" Liu Zhiyong kowtowed and said angrily..

Li Boqian was furious. He stood up and pointed at the old prime minister. He glared at him and said," Liu Zhiyong, you old fool. Not only did you disobey me, but you also cursed our Taichu Dynasty. I have tolerated you for a long time. Today, you have offended the superior and deceived the public with your heresy. Men, drag you out and cut you down!" The soldiers of the Yulin Army who were on duty outside the door did not dare to be negligent. They ran up to the hall and wanted to carry the old prime minister down. At this moment, Liu Zhiyong seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He lay on the ground and allowed the soldiers to carry him up..

At this moment, an official knelt down with a thud. Then, the officials knelt down one after another. Not only the civil officials, but also the generals in the palace knelt down. Even the trusted officials of the emperor knelt down to plead for the prime minister..

"Your Majesty, the old Prime Minister has worked hard and made great contributions. You must not kill him..

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. The Prime Minister is only in a hurry. If he says something wrong, he will not die.".

"For the sake of the kingdom, spare the prime minister.".

"The officials, though disagreeing, were all trying to save the prime minister's life..

Seeing this situation, the soldiers of the Yulin Army were also caught in a dilemma. They did not know what to do..

Li Boqian saw this situation and his expression eased slightly. He sat back on the dragon chair..

：.

"Let go of the Prime Minister and leave.".

"You all stand up, don't think that the law does not punish the public, I will not punish you!" Li Boqian said sternly. The ministers saw that things had changed, and they were afraid that the emperor would punish them..

"Liu Zhiyong, I can spare your death today. However, you are now too old to be qualified for the post of Prime Minister. I will allow you to retire and return home within three days..

Li Boqian was no longer angry and said calmly..

The officials looked at each other and did not dare to say too much for fear that they would anger the emperor and the consequences would be unimaginable..

Liu Zhiyong smiled bitterly. His face was ashen. He got up from the ground and knelt on the ground. He kowtowed heavily and said in a hoarse voice," Thank you, Lord!" After saying that, the old man fell to the ground and fainted..

Looking at the miserable appearance of the old Prime Minister, who was like the divine needle of the Taichu Dynasty, the officials 'expressions were extremely ugly. They could not help but feel sad for the dead rabbit..

Li Boqian did not care about the old man who fell to the ground. Instead, he turned around and left. He did not even look at the old man who had been three dynasties..

After the retreat, several disciples of Liu Zhiyong took the old prime minister away from the palace. The others did not dare to come forward to help for fear of getting involved. Sure enough, these disciples were all dismissed from office not long after..

Three days later, Liu Zhiyong's family members had finished preparing their gifts in the Prime Minister's Mansion and loaded their carriages. The few servants in the family had also been dispersed. Now Liu Zhiyong had no salary, let alone money to raise his servants..

Liu Zhiyong's two sons did not enter the imperial court as officials. They only found jobs in the Galaxy Sect's property in Kaiyuan City. Now that the Prime Minister had returned to his hometown, they left the capital together. Galaxy Sect would naturally find jobs for them in the old Prime Minister's hometown. With Galaxy Sect's care, the old Prime Minister's family would not have to worry about food and drink..

Today was the day when the old Prime Minister was leaving the capital. The whole family had already gotten into the car. His eldest son went to ask his father to get into the car. The old man slowly walked out of the house with his grandson. He looked at the house where he had lived for decades in a daze. Now, even this house had been sold..

The old prime minister seemed to be ten years older than a few days ago. His hair had turned white overnight, and his figure had become even more hunched. Looking at his father's appearance, his eldest son's face was full of sorrow..

No one saw two figures, one big and one small, in the shadows of the courtyard. They were Huang Xin and Gu Xifeng, who had rushed to the capital from Ningguan City..

Gu Xifeng had just entered the city when Huang Xin found him and brought him here. Gu Xifeng naturally knew about the old prime minister. He was full of respect for this old minister of Taichu and was also very angry at what he had suffered..

Their mission is to escort the old prime minister back to his hometown.

Although the Taichu Emperor did not kill Liu Zhiyong and asked him to retire, Chen Yaoguang, the leader of Galaxy Sect, felt that Li Boqian would not let the old Prime Minister go so easily. However, he would not use the army to escort the old man. Therefore, the Seven Kills Camp was the only choice..

Liu Zhiyong sighed and walked out of the courtyard with his children and grandchildren. At this time, many people had gathered in front of the Prime Minister's residence. Everyone watched the old Prime Minister walk out of his house with heavy hearts..

" Old Prime Minister, have a good journey!" Someone shouted first, and then the commoners shouted," Old Prime Minister, have a good journey!" Although the voices were complicated, their feelings were sincere. The commoners of Kaiyuan City were sincerely grateful to this old man who had worked hard for Taichu Dynasty all his life..

The old man took a deep look at the people who came to see him off. His sad mood eased somewhat, but he did not speak. He only squeezed out a smile and nodded to everyone. Then, with the help of his son, he boarded the carriage..

The convoy slowly left in the eyes and blessings of the people, and the team that saw them off extended far on the road..

Huang Xin and Gu Xifeng followed closely behind. Among the civilians who were sending them off, dozens of people shuttled through the crowd and chased after them. These people were all spies of the Seven Kills Camp in the Seven Kills Camp and members of the peripheral organization Dark Star..

In the Taichu Palace, Li Boqian sat on the throne in the royal study. There were two people in front of him. One was a handsome middle-aged man, Long Yansi, the chief of the Qing Yan Hall, and the other was a beautiful woman, Zaoji..

"Today, Liu Zhiyong left the capital. I have tolerated this old man for a long time. I order your Qing Yan Hall to send elites to eliminate this old man's family. Do not leave anyone alive. I will order people to disguise this old man's death as a bandit robbery. Remember not to leave any evidence behind..

"Your Majesty, rest assured, my Qing Yan Hall will do everything thoroughly and will definitely complete the task.".

"Long Yan Si respectfully said, but his Central Plains dialect is very unfamiliar, and his accent is strange..

"Your Majesty, the Chief promises to complete the mission..

"I am afraid that Li Boqian did not hear clearly and repeated the words of Long Yan Si.".

"My beautiful lady is still sweet. Go ahead. Do it well. There will be rewards.".

Li Boqian waved his hand toward Zaoji, Zaoji understood, sat on his lap, and his hand was very dishonest to grasp the fullness of Zaoji's chest. This made Zaoji unable to help but make a low moan..

Long Yansi acted as if he did not see or hear the order and left, leaving only the two of them in the room together..
