The frequent turmoil surprisingly subsided, like an undercurrent that didn't have time to form a tsunami before being suppressed into the sea by an even stronger force. Below, perhaps, the undercurrents still surged, but on the surface, all was calm.

The death of Prince Ning caused a great stir, seemingly frightening many people.

Qi Shan quietly waited for a month, but the expected trouble did not occur, which, on the contrary, disappointed him.

The war in the south seemed to be progressing smoothly. Zhang Deliang submitted seven or eight memorials in succession, all marveling at the fighting power of the Flying Tiger Army.

He also came up with various reasons to continue staying in the south.

Qi Shan knew that he just wanted to keep the Flying Tiger Army in his hands, which was precisely his intention. After delaying several times, he reluctantly agreed.

Bai Jue's infiltration plan also gradually began within the capital, from small to large, from bottom to top, mainly targeting ministers who were clearly inclined towards the court officials and had close ties with the civil officials.

Qi Shan would then list them on a list of candidates, waiting for Bai Jue to gradually erode and replace them.

As for the ministers who were replaced, they were not without contribution. They all silently contributed to a newly summoned Divine Tree. Their memories would be linked with Bai Jue to ensure that they would not reveal any major flaws in certain details.

The plan was good, but the overall area was too large. If they wanted to spread it out and complete a reform, it would probably take a long time.

And the superstructure determined the direction of the entire country. The ministers argued with the emperor every day, constantly thinking about how to limit imperial power, instead of how to manage the entire country well, and this was wrong.

If it were just ordinary power struggles, Qi Shan might not be a match for these great gods, but who stipulated that he couldn't use unconventional methods?

As gourd after gourd of energy was poured in, the strange energy within Qi Shan's body gathered faster and faster.

Mysterious figures began to appear one after another within the imperial palace. They were almost uniformly dressed in black, wearing bamboo hats that covered almost their entire figures, making them very mysterious.

They usually didn't appear, but the imperial guards all knew that they were always by the emperor's side, and would jump out to protect him at the first sign of trouble.

Rumor had it in the palace that, in addition to the Flying Tiger Army, the Great Qi imperial family had always hidden a secret mobile force within the palace.

This force was not only responsible for protecting the safety of the imperial city, but also shouldered the responsibility of exploring intelligence and assassinating key personnel, but the Great Qi royal family was benevolent and had never used it.

Now that they appeared, it should be because the situation within the imperial palace had become tense after the assassination of Prince Ning, and the mobile force was there to protect the emperor's safety.

The rumors were so vivid and detailed that they could even justify themselves, and Qi Shan was speechless.

Life paused like this. In the capital and its surrounding cities, any difficulties, large or small, would be inexplicably resolved the next day.

The ministers in the court also gradually transitioned from meaningless arguments to gradually solving problems bit by bit.

Among the several factions, it was no longer a case of one faction overpowering the other today, and the other faction overpowering the first tomorrow. Everyone's attention was focused on party strife.

Instead, the young people in the two factions began to do practical things in unison.

With the joint efforts of both sides, coupled with the support of new and old friends and teachers, there was some progress in governing the country.

As the number of resurrected corpses increased and the number of high-ranking officials replaced by Bai Jue increased, the entire Great Qi Dynasty appeared more stable.

The imperial family's power was gradually feared. With the south gradually calming down and the court gradually stabilizing, the northern forces once came to the capital and circled around, but more than a dozen experts disappeared without a trace, without even a single message leaking out, which frightened the northern group.

The small actions that had never stopped before ceased directly, and a large number of people were sent out to inquire about news everywhere.

The rumors circulating from the palace were gradually collected by them. Now, everyone in the world knew that the Great Qi imperial family had a team of experts in addition to the Flying Tiger Army.

They were not in a hurry, and Qi Shan was even less so.

The upper limit of power in this world was very high. Now that he had planted the Divine Tree, he would wait for it to bloom and bear fruit. Qi Shan had eaten the Chakra fruit once, and that time, the energy in his body instantly broke through several levels.

If he ate it a second time, his energy level should rise another level, right?

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the Great Qi Dynasty unexpectedly calmed down. The situation that had been on the verge of collapse was unknowingly resolved.

The northern barbarians had twice raided the border, and were extremely fierce. The northern group did not know whether they were deliberately letting them through, or were really unable to resist, and actually allowed the barbarians to drive straight in.

Qi Shan issued a single transfer order, ordering the Flying Tiger Army to go north to meet the enemy. Zhang Deliang was still making excuses, but the Flying Tiger Army had already set off.

The Flying Tiger Army's performance this year was amazing. They were definitely the most elite soldiers Zhang Deliang had ever seen in his life.

Once on the battlefield, everyone was eager to be the first, and the armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands were extremely sophisticated. After several major battles, they didn't even need large-scale maintenance. If there were any minor flaws, there were also special personnel inside to handle them.

They never made any demands for food and pay, and ate whatever they were given.

They completely obeyed Zhang Deliang's orders, even if another small team was sent to die, no one blinked an eye.

Zhang Deliang was both worried and proud of such a powerful and elite team.

He was worried that such a team, in the hands of the emperor, was indeed a great weapon. If the civil and military officials had any ideas, they would probably be killed by the Flying Tiger Army before they had time to act.

He was proud that this team was now in his hands.

Therefore, during this year, although he continued to fight, he not only eliminated the rebellion in the south, but also rushed out of the country and rescued the Prince of Zhennan, who was trapped in the barbarian territory.

That battle was earth-shattering, and lasted for 10 days and 10 nights. The barbarians' strong physique could no longer hold on, but the Flying Tiger Army soldiers were completely fine.

Therefore, the outcome of the war was without suspense. The barbarians suffered heavy casualties, and the troops withdrew 300 miles.

In order to win over the Flying Tiger Army, Zhang Deliang would ask the court for credit every once in a while, and a large amount of silver rewards would be given, both promoting officials and giving money, doing everything he could to win them over, thinking that the troops had already been won over.

He didn't expect that the emperor's document would easily take the troops away.
