Imperial meeting.

“Start.”

As soon as Yu-gyeong gave the order with a bright look in his eyes, the mountain of complaints coming from the provinces began to be released one by one.

“This is a report from Fujian Governor Tanyul. It is said that the martial arts faction and the strange groups of blood religion were destroyed, so the soldiers were quickly released to stabilize public order in Fujian. The people, who were disturbed by the strange crowd, have managed to control their frightened minds and go about their daily lives. People who were huddled inside their homes are leaving their houses one by one. The flow of people and logistics is spreading out in all directions, showing signs of great prosperity.”

“This is the appeal of the Governor of Anhui, Tian Yu-ji. It is said that Anhui’s strange group has disappeared, but a group of thieves has proliferated, targeting the empty space, so they are focusing on raising an army and dealing with the bandits. It is said that the praise of the people, who have been freed from anxiety one by one, is now echoing throughout Anhui.”

“Oh, it really must be the Red Bok of the Empire.”

“Sapilgwijeong. Isn’t it true that a group of wicked people cannot prosper in the end?”

Jae Sang-hae recalled the contents of the appeal, listening to the murmurs of the civil and military officials attending the meeting.

Although there were problems big and small in Yunnan, where bandits were rampant, and in provinces where the wounds already scratched by blood religion could not be healed at once, the world as a whole was moving toward restoring peace.

‘The problem is that the protagonist of that peace is not the emperor, but the Thunderer.’

A blood religion that could not be eradicated by the power of the imperial army.

Not only the blood monsters that could not even hit unless they were in a passing circle made up of experts, but the blood people of the blood religion also had a bad compatibility with the imperial army. Basically, the imperial army’s strategy to deal with warriors was to have multiple spearmen taking advantage of distance to tie down one warrior. However, it was not easy for blood people, who could freely attack from a distance with blood bullets, to approach them.

‘The emergence of blood religion was definitely a bad news for the empire… but the reason why that bad news could shake the world must also be in the empire.’

If the Empire had not devastated the Murim forces, the Murim forces would have become a breakwater and the movement of blood religion would not have caused direct damage to the people.

If the imperial army and national power had not been wasted to destroy the Murim forces, there would have been room to use the imperial power to prepare a countermeasure against blood religion.

It was possible to come up with excuses, but in the end, one person from the martial arts solved what the emperor could not do.

Others may think it’s just the appearance of an amazing hero… but does Yu-kyung really think that way?

Perhaps, with the appearance of Venerable Brainy, the oppression of the Wulin that had stopped due to religious sects will resume.

As Jae Sang-hae listened to the appeals being read repeatedly and looked at the civil and military officials, he became convinced that he was not the only one with these concerns.

“Hongbok! It’s the Red Bok of the Empire!”

“A bright sun has risen in the future of the empire.”

Why is it that when the executives of the empire gather together in one place, the only thing that comes out is meaningless praise rather than analysis or solutions to the situation?

Because the governors and local officials of various regions did not know that it was the Thunder Master who wiped out the group of blood religions and that those who dealt with the remnants left in the wake of the Thunder Master were the political factions that closed the door to the Murim League and civil factions, they omitted their news in the appeal. Did you do it?

This was proof that the governors and local officials were all worried about similar injuries.

Yugyeong, perhaps unaware of the governors’ intentions, simply listened to the report without showing any reaction.

Appeals from local officials who desperately hope that the central government will not do anything unreasonable. Because they cannot understand the emperor’s intentions, or because they do not want to provoke the emperor, the civil and military officials are paying attention and choosing the right words to serve. And the emperor showed no reaction to the reports of local officials and the attitudes of civil and military officials.

It was truly like a sheet of thin ice.

It is calm now, but if anyone were to throw even a small stone into the ice, the ice covering the lake would shatter with just that small ripple.

As Jaesanghae could not easily predict what kind of state the lake with its exposed water would flow in, Jaesanghae hoped that this royal meeting would pass without any incident occurring.

The world is clearly on the verge of recovery, so even if nothing is touched, new skin will grow in the empire and open wounds will heal.

Even after all the appeals from the local officials were finished, the emperor remained silent, so naturally the Great Daejeon was also stained with silence.

In that ambiguous atmosphere, Jaesanghae prayed.

I hope the royal meeting ends like this without any incident.

“I am truly disappointed.”

however.

“How can the civil and military officials, who can be said to be the pillars of the empire, be so ignorant of the affairs of the world?”

Any hope of such a re-injury was shattered.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on one place, and Jae Sang-hae also looked in that direction with an arrogant frown.

After receiving everyone’s attention, Admiral Dongchang’s inner circle, Du Yucheon, the white tiger, continued speaking again.

“What is the current imperial government’s national policy? Wasn’t it to set the standard of the empire straight by arresting and instructing a group of ruthless people who arbitrarily wielded weapons and martial arts despite being subjects of the empire? Even though you are not unaware of the fact, you have not even heard rumors about the person who deceived the people of the fortress and exalted his name?”

The civil and military officials held their breath and Jae Sang-hae gritted his teeth.

Such a goby.

Jae Sang-hae cursed at Du Yu-cheon in his mind. Since he was someone who never hid his ambition, I thought he was a guy who showed signs of causing an accident, but since I couldn’t hurt someone without any basis, I held back and ended up causing an accident.

I should have called the head of the Du family a long time ago and kicked him in the shins and disciplined him!

Such regrets appeared in Jae Sang-hae’s mind, but Du Yu-cheon’s mouth had already opened and the words were spit out, so it was only a belated regret.

In the end, the emperor’s mouth opened at Du Yuchen’s words.

“Lee Hyung Baekho Duwicheon.”

“Chung!”

“Tell me in detail.”

“Chung!”

Du Yu-Cheon spoke of rumors about Ho Cheon-an without hesitation. Du Wicheon’s report ended with the fact that he had cleared out Mount Mosan, which could be said to be the stronghold of the blood religion.

Jaesanghai and other civil and military officials held their breath to see how the emperor would react.

“Lee Hyung Baekho Duwicheon.”

“Chung!”

“Investigate and report everything about him. Past activities as well as the latest news. Do you understand?”

“Chung!”

Jaesanghae closed his eyes tightly. If Venerable Thunder Master’s skills were so advanced, how could he not notice his classmate’s surveillance? What warrior in the world would be happy to be watched by Dongchang?

The contact between Hoengguk and the Brainy Master, which required extreme caution, became the worst form.

“I will end today’s meeting here.”

When the meeting broke up, Du Wi-cheon left for Daejeon without hesitation, and Jae Sang-hae followed Du Wi-cheon.

“Hey, look at me.”

“What’s going on? Prime Minister. The main office must process the orders of Emperor Peha.”

Jae Sang-hae furrowed his brows and looked at Du Yu-tian.

Jae Sang-hae, who didn’t want to talk for a long time with a guy who didn’t want to see him like this, asked directly.

“How do you plan to handle this?”

Jaesanghae recalled his current classmate’s situation.

In the past, when Yu Jing decided to suppress the Wulin people, the first person to turn his back was Admiral Sima Gyeonghui of Dongchang.

Sima Gyeong-hui, who was Yu Gyeong’s closest aide and right-hand man and a major contributor to the establishment of absolute imperial power, used his bedridden illness as an excuse to let go of the admiral’s job, and Yu Gyeong stubbornly placed Sima Gyeong-hui above Admiral Dongchang.

Due to the situation, the actual management of Dongchang was handled by the admiral’s subordinate officers, Jang Hyeong-cheon and Lee Hyeong-baek.

in other words.

It should have been seen that the fact that Du Yu-cheon, the great white tiger, brought up the story of the Thunder Ming Venerable at the royal meeting was a clear expression of the emperor’s intentions in the first place.

Therefore, Jae Sang-hae wanted to guess the emperor’s intentions through Du Yu-cheon.

“Now is the time for this empire to catch its breath. How can you make enemies at such a time?”

“Well. Since the Emperor’s name has been given, I can only follow it as a member of the alumni who are the eyes and nobles of the Empire.”

A blood vessel popped out on Jaesanghae’s forehead in response to his muffled answer. Du Yu-Chen, seeing this, reflexively widened the distance by half a step.

Steel head injured again.

Were there just one or two people in the imperial palace whose heads were hit by Jae Sang-hae? It would not be an exaggeration to say that he rose to the rank of prime minister by chopping off all those who were said to have eaten ink in the imperial kingdom.

Therefore, Du Yuqian immediately made a strategic withdrawal.

“Then, let’s leave the main building and go follow the Emperor’s orders!”

Quick judgment as expected from a classmate’s second-in-command.

“Hey! Hey!”

Jae Sang-hae tried to scream at the back of Du Yu-cheon’s head as he ran away with his eyebrows drawn, but Du Yu-cheon did not stop.

“cub. The dog fell out. uh? The Prime Minister is calling me, so why don’t I just leave? They should put him back in the Geumuiwi training center and instill discipline.”

Most of the alumni are recruited from the Geumui Committee. And since Doo Wi-cheon was also a member of the Geumuiwiwi… Jae Sang-hae, who was contemplating putting Doowicheon into the Geumuiwiwi training center again, sighed deeply.

What is the meaning of looking at the following article, Duwicheon? After all, Dongchang was an institution directly under the emperor, so Du Yutian was simply following his superior’s orders.

‘The appearance of Venerable Thunder is a good fortune that came to this empire… Does this mean that even this good luck has no choice but to be kicked away?’

Jae Sang-hae, who returned to Luoyang Jae-ga with a gloomy complexion, sank down on a chair in his office. As I put my feet on the desk in that awkward posture, I noticed an object that came naturally.

It was a belt awarded to me while I was a trainee.

Jaesanghae looked at the belt and smiled bitterly.

“He became Prime Minister…but I wonder if he is really serving as Prime Minister.”

As I was bitterly licking my lips, I felt a presence outside.

“Sir, a letter has arrived.”

“I don’t really feel like checking, so put it on the desk.”

“This is a letter from a meeting of comrades. Should we do that?”

“Give it to me right now!”

Jae Sang-hae grabbed the letter while receiving a look from Si-bi saying he couldn’t stop him. Why am I writing this letter when I don’t receive regular contact?

“Jo Ga-ju… What kind of wind did this guy send the letter to?”

Jaesanghae quickly read the letter. Jaesanghae’s eyes gradually opened wide as he read the words written in detail, and when he read all the contents of the letter, Jaesanghae had no choice but to tighten his fist and crush the letter.

“Ha, hahahaha…!”

Instructor Ho Cheon-an… is a thunder master? And that the Thunder Master wants to step up for the Empire? Because of that, the strength of the trainees of the Twelfth Division is needed, so others will also gather in Luoyang?

“This! this this! This will be so much fun! It’s been a while since I’ve seen those black faces again!”

Jaesanghae turned his head towards the window with his heart pounding.

In this empire.

The wind was blowing.
