While the outside world was fighting to the death, the palace of Eastern Jin was peaceful.
However, at this time, an old eunuch with a gloomy face rushed in. He waved his hand and the singers and actresses were chased out.
The old eunuch walked to Empress Li's tent and said, "Empress Li, the Golden Horde Kingdom has sent word that they are about to make a move. They want us to be prepared. However, if we want to defeat the Zhou Kingdom's defense, we need the King of Wu City. However, the King of Wu City only listens to that person."
Empress Dowager Li raised her eyebrows and a cold light flashed in her charming phoenix eyes.
"Quan Hai, you've been with me for a long time. You should know what to say and what not to say. Is this something you should care about?"
The old eunuch, Quan Hai, shivered and knelt on the ground. He slapped himself and said, "This slave deserves to die! This slave deserves to die! "
As an old man who had served Empress Li for decades, he knew how terrifying this woman was. She was someone who could even kill her own child!
Empress Li said coldly, "We've been master and servant for so many years, I don't want to say anything. Now that I'm not dead yet, you can't wait to court others?"
Quan Hai was so scared that he did not dare to speak. He could only slap himself until the corner of his mouth was bleeding. Then Empress Dowager Li snorted and said, "Alright, get up. Remember, don't care about what you shouldn't care about and don't say what you shouldn't say. If you want to find those people to please you, you can do so after I'm dead. But as long as I'm alive, I still have the final say in East Jin!"
Quan Hai hurriedly nodded, not daring to show any disrespect. He knew how powerful the woman in front of him used to be.
Normally, a woman would take care of her husband. It was the same for the Empress. When Empress Li's husband died and her son succeeded the throne, she should call herself "Ai jia." However, Empress Li was the founder of Eastern Jin. Why should she compare herself to the trash who had destroyed the Great Jin? Therefore, she had always called herself the Empress. No one in Eastern Jin dared to say anything.
After sending Quan Hai away, Empress Li went straight to the deepest part of the palace.
This was the place where the Eastern Jin Royal Family cultivated. Of course, only those who didn't want to inherit the throne and focused on martial arts would come here.
Inside the pitch-black palace, a middle-aged man dressed in a luxurious black robe embroidered with dragon patterns, his face cold and stiff, as if he would never smile, was explaining martial arts to a group of young royal disciples below him.
This man was Zhao Wumie, the Prince of Wei of the East Jin Kingdom. He had the greatest reputation among the royal family of the East Jin Kingdom, even greater than Zhao Cenjiang, the Prince of Martial City in the Real Martial Arts Realm.
Some people even said that if Zhao Wumie had been the one to inherit the throne of the State of Jin, the State of Jin would definitely not have fallen.
Of course, it was too late to say anything now. Since the establishment of Eastern Jin Kingdom, Zhao Wu Mie had rarely stepped into Jianghu. Therefore, some warriors in the Zhou Kingdom did not even know that there was such a person in Eastern Jin Kingdom. Only some warriors in Eastern Jin Kingdom would fantasize about what would happen if Zhao Wu Mie was the Emperor.
Empress Dowager Li walked into the hall. The young royal disciples all looked up at her with dissatisfaction and disdain. In short, there was no respect.
Because Zhao Wumie had supported Empress Dowager Li, the Eastern Jin Empire's royal family had actually respected her.
After all, as a woman, it was not easy for her to handle the chaos in Eastern Jin.
However, after Eastern Jin Empire had stabilized, she had held on to the throne and refused to let go. Even her son and grandson did not have any power. This made the royal family of Eastern Jin Empire unhappy.
However, because Zhao Wumie did not say anything and expressed his support for her as usual, only a small portion of the royal family of Eastern Jin Empire openly opposed her. Most of them did not say anything.
Zhao Wumie said calmly, "Leave us."
The group of royal martial artists all walked out. At this time, they were also unhappy with Zhao Wumie. However, due to Zhao Wumie's strength and identity, they did not say anything.
After all, Empress Dowager Li was Zhao Wumie's sister-in-law. Moreover, there were so many rumors going around. In the end, the two of them were still in the same room. This was not appropriate.
However, at this time, neither Empress Dowager Li nor Zhao Wumie cared about these things.
After looking at each other for a while, Empress Dowager Li said, "The Golden Horde Kingdom has sent news that they have decided to make a move. As long as we break through the Zhou Kingdom's defense line at the border of Eastern Jin, they will be able to enter the Central Plains. After that, they will only need Beiyuan Path and a few other paths near the Golden Horde Kingdom. The Central Plains will still have to be governed by us."
Zhao Wumie frowned and said, "You still agreed to the Golden Horde Kingdom's request? Why bother? You are playing with fire. Although the Golden Horde Kingdom is well-prepared, whether it is Erdo or Mogo, they do not even have 50% confidence in winning.
However, the Golden Horde Kingdom can afford to lose. The northern grasslands have enough space for them to recuperate. What does Eastern Jin Empire have? Once the Golden Horde Kingdom is defeated, Eastern Jin Empire will have to bear more pressure from the Zhou Kingdom. There may even be a war! "
Empress Dowager Li sneered and said, "Playing with fire? I am playing with fire!
Over the years, there have been people who have been restless. If I do not achieve the results I deserve, I am afraid they will continue to cause trouble.
Well, I will give them a chance this time. Only those who can survive the war between the Zhou Kingdom and Eastern Jin Empire are qualified to challenge my authority!
Of course, if I win this time and expand the territory of Eastern Jin Empire, who will be qualified to bark in front of me? "
Zhao Wumie closed his eyes slightly and let out a long breath. He said, "Isn't what you have obtained all these years enough?
You have held the throne in your hands for decades. Your son, your grandson, and the others all want it. Can't you give it to them? "
Empress Dowager Li said expressionlessly, "If it were not for me, there would be no Eastern Jin Empire. If I am not dead, no one can take the throne away. If I am dead, I will not care who wants to fight for it."
Zhao Wumie took a deep look at her and sighed. "Xiao Wan, you have changed."
Empress Dowager Li's original name was Li Xiaowan. However, no one would call her by this name anymore. Even the elders of the Li Family would not call her by this name.
When Empress Dowager Li heard Zhao Wumie call her name, her eyes revealed a gentle look. However, when she heard the words' you have changed ', her eyes became extremely sharp.
"I have changed? Who is the reason why I have changed? Zhao Wumie, everyone in the world has the right to say this except for you! "
Empress Dowager Li said coldly, "How much have you done for that woman? What have you done for me?
When that woman died, you left the East Jin Kingdom in chaos and buried her in the East Sea to keep vigil for her.
That woman's son was not talented. You tried your best to find the Heavenly Road Stone for him to improve his talent and help him advance to the Innate Realm.
You have done so much for her, but what about me? "
Empress Dowager Li roared crazily. Perhaps she was no longer Empress Dowager Li, but Li Xiaowan.
Zhao Wumie closed his eyes and did not argue. He just said in a deep voice, "I will let my uncle take action. However, he will only take action once. As long as the Zhou Kingdom's line of defense is broken, he will immediately stop. Similarly, the Eastern Jin Empire's royal family will not take action.
The outcome of this battle is hard to predict. Eastern Jin Empire will not put all their forces on the line just because of a promise from the Golden Horde Kingdom. "
Hearing Zhao Wumie agree, Empress Dowager Li was silent for a moment. Then, she nodded and said, "I know. I will not take the vanguard for the Golden Horde Kingdom. This time, only the military will take action."
After that, both sides did not speak. Just as Empress Dowager Li was about to leave, Zhao Wumie suddenly said, "Did you send Zhao Yuandian to assassinate him?"
In the past, there were rumors in Eastern Jin that after Zhao Yuanxi's death, Empress Dowager Li was prepared to let his younger brother, Zhao Yuandian, inherit the throne. This led to a struggle between Zhao Yuandian and Zhao Yuanxi's sons.
However, Zhao Yuandian was assassinated in public. At that time, Su Xin was also there, so he naturally witnessed the scene.
Although Zhao Yuandian died in the hands of Yan Naruo, an expert on the List of Young Masters that he had invited as a guest, the assassin was real.
Therefore, everyone thought that the assassin was sent by Zhao Yuanxi's sons. However, according to Empress Dowager Li's character, she would not pass the throne to Zhao Yuandian. Therefore, it was speculated that all of this was a conspiracy. In fact, the assassin was sent by Empress Dowager Li to kill Zhao Yuandian and push the blame to Zhao Yuanxi's sons. This would make the people who coveted the throne more chaotic.
Empress Dowager Li raised her head and said coldly, "No matter how inhumane I am, I will not send someone to kill my own son. I have already found out and dealt with the mastermind."
After saying that, Empress Dowager Li immediately left. Zhao Wumie sighed softly. He did not want Empress Dowager Li to become a complete stranger to him.
At this moment, an old man had appeared behind Zhao Wumie without him noticing. It was as if he had appeared out of nowhere.
This old man had a gentle appearance and looked very benevolent. However, he wore a golden dragon robe and looked extremely dignified.
"Uncle, you are here." Zhao Wumie did not turn around, but he knew who the old man was.
This old man was the only person in the Real Martial Realm in Eastern Jin, the King of Wu City, Zhao Cenjiang.
In the past, when the State of Jin was powerful, it dominated the world. The number of Real Martial Realm experts was definitely not less than that of the current Zhou Kingdom. However, those people had either died in battle or left in despair. Some were like Zhao Wunian, who had the blood of the Jin royal family flowing in his body, but ended up becoming the master of the Imperial Worship Hall of the Zhou Kingdom.
When the State of Jin was about to collapse, he was the only one who could remain loyal to the State of Jin.
