Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

Having said that, Fang Zheng Yi turned and walked to Li Yuan Zhao's side.

Seeing him wearing the dragon robe, Li Yuan Zhao felt awkward again, wanting to ask but not knowing where to start.

Fang Zheng Yi said, "Your Highness, how is the battle situation on the front line right now?"

Li Yuan Zhao glanced at Pa Ba and said, "The Jin army has been defeated, and Wu Tu is dead."

Upon hearing this news, Pa Ba's eyes immediately dimmed a lot.

Although he had foreseen it, hearing this news with his own ears still made him feel uncomfortable.

He had personally accompanied Wu Tu's rise, and now he heard of his fall.

Only he knew the feelings involved.

And Ali Bai also had a complex expression, with worry in his heart, and also some joy....

"Then I have a clear understanding. Please come with me to the palace for a detailed discussion."

.....

Three thousand Imperial Guards all entered the palace, and Fang Zheng Yi led Li Yuan Zhao directly to the main hall.

Li Yuan Zhao looked around and curled his lips, saying, "Not as good as Da Jing."

"Why are there so few people in this palace? There should be some attendants in this main hall, right?"

Fang Zheng Yi said, "Many people have been dismissed by Ali Bai. Now the palace is just an empty shell. Many court officials have gone to Ali Bai's house to discuss matters. Also, the clothes I'm wearing now were forced on me by him..."

Then, Fang Zheng Yi began to narrate the various things that had happened during this period one by one.

Li Yuan Zhao sometimes frowned in thought, and sometimes shook his head and laughed.

After listening, he exclaimed, "Lao Fang, I'm really impressed by you! Isn't this the same set of tricks you used in the capital against Meng Wei Min?"

Fang Zheng Yi grinned: "Almost, but this is an advanced version."

"I didn't expect that Ali Bai would have such wild ambitions, fabricating crimes for officials, murdering his brothers, and even trying to frame you. He's really not a good person!" Li Yuan Zhao said hatefully.

Fang Zheng Yi nodded: "He seems to have schemes, but he's not worth mentioning. I've already seen through him."

"This person is sensitive and insecure, showing himself to be tall and confident in front of the people, but also afraid that the ugly things he has done will be discovered. He seems to be baring his fangs and claws, but in fact, his heart is fragile. He is both fond of boasting and loves to bully those close to him."

"Sigh... It's good that you're okay. It's not in vain that I rushed here so anxiously." Li Yuan Zhao sighed: "However, even if he gave you the yellow robe, you refused, and he wouldn't dare to touch you. He has already occupied the entire city. The responsibility for your accident would fall on him. Does he have the courage to take this risk?"

Fang Zheng Yi was silent for a while: "That's indeed the case, but going along with him was also a last resort."

"How so?"

"I have a weakness."

"What weakness?"

"Does Your Highness trust me?"

"Then I won't ask."

Fang Zheng Yi was greatly gratified. After so many years of getting along, the trust between the two of them naturally didn't need to be said.

He was always unguarded in front of Li Yuan Zhao.

Li Yuan Zhao continued: "But this is indeed a problem. Whether or not the Emperor has any ideas about this matter, it will inevitably be a hidden danger when it is passed on to the court in the future. Why don't I help you solve it now?"

Heh, he's grown up!

Fang Zheng Yi smiled wryly.

I don't even know how to solve it. Is the Crown Prince so clever now?

"How does Your Highness plan to solve it?"

"It's very simple, just kill Ali Bai, wouldn't that solve it? How many garrison soldiers are there in Pan Tai City?"

"Wu Tu has transferred away most of the troops, leaving only about thirty thousand." Fang Zheng Yi said speechlessly: "However, Your Highness's method is absolutely..."

"Only thirty thousand? They're all scattered soldiers like those on the streets. I can take him down with three thousand men." Li Yuan Zhao said proudly, "I'll leave this little matter to me. I'll take people there now."

Fang Zheng Yi sighed: "Don't, Your Highness. Can you listen to me finish speaking?"

"Ali Bai is currently at the height of his power, and the military and civilians of Pan Tai City are united. If you dare to touch him, we'll all be finished."

"He can make the people believe in the Emperor, but the people may not necessarily believe him. But if he tells the people to chop someone, they will definitely chop!"

"Those soldiers, civilians, and common people are all innocent people. The outcome of the war is already a foregone conclusion. There's no need to create more bloodshed."

"Let me solve this matter myself. Your Highness, tell me about your affairs. How did you get here so quickly? Where's the main force?"

Speaking of himself, Li Yuan Zhao's face gradually showed a proud expression.

This was his first time leading troops in a real battle, and it was so successful.

In a way, it was a dream come true.

"After the Emperor broke through Cheng Gao Pass, I sneaked out with people to rush to save you. Traveling day and night is naturally much faster than him. The main force is probably still fighting."

As he spoke, Li Yuan Zhao put his hands on his hips: "I... faced Wu Tu head-on, and with three thousand men, I defeated more than twenty thousand enemy troops, and personally beheaded Wu Tu's dog head!"

"Such achievements, even the Emperor can only look up to... Ah ha ha ha ha!"

The wild laughter resounded through the hall, and Fang Zheng Yi was surprised.

Watching Li Yuan Zhao still laughing wildly, the corners of his mouth gradually curved up.

He casually took off the dragon robe, swung it in an arc in the air, and draped it behind Li Yuan Zhao.

Li Yuan Zhao's laughter stopped abruptly, and he blinked at Fang Zheng Yi in confusion.

Fang Zheng Yi said solemnly: "Your Majesty is accomplished in both civil and military affairs. How could a villain like Wu Tu be an enemy of Your Majesty?"

As he spoke, Fang Zheng Yi stretched out his palm and pointed to the dragon throne: "Please ascend the throne, Your Majesty."

"Ah... is this okay?" Li Yuan Zhao rubbed his hands, feeling a little shy.

"The Emperor of Jin, it's not presumptuous. Please!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha, then I won't be polite!"

Having said that, Li Yuan Zhao walked steadily to the dragon throne and sat down casually.

He scanned left and right, and raised a hand pretentiously: "All my beloved subjects, rise."

"Heh heh, suddenly I feel like the Emperor is a bit silly doing this every day."

Fang Zheng Yi: "......"

"Also, it's a bit hard." Li Yuan Zhao twisted to the left and twisted to the right, feeling quite uncomfortable.

After tossing around for a while, Li Yuan Zhao slid his butt to one side, patted the other side, and said to Fang Zheng Yi: "Lao Fang, come sit down. It's tiring to stand. Let's talk closer."

"Ah?"

"Ah what? The throne of Jin is not presumptuous."

"Okay, then I won't be polite!"

In the dim hall, only a beam of light from the door shone on the bricks.

Two young men sat side by side on the dragon throne, both looking ahead.

After the excitement passed, Li Yuan Zhao seemed particularly tired. He leaned back and said weakly: "I really didn't expect that I would see so many things on this trip. The encounters in life are really magical."

"I was really afraid that you would die in Jin along the way. Thinking about it, I can understand Ali Bai quite a bit. I feel uneasy without you by my side, and I don't know how to do many things."

Fang Zheng Yi had a faint smile on his face: "Your Highness can already stand on your own."

"Defeating the most elite soldiers of Jin with three thousand men, such achievements will be admired by countless people. Your Highness, how did you do it?"

Li Yuan Zhao said: "It's not difficult. Just use grenades to blow them up for a few rounds."

"Huh? Where did you get the grenades?"

"Mo Xiao Hu told me that I took all the inventory from your county."

"Damn! This little bastard, he can't keep his mouth shut." Fang Zheng Yi gritted his teeth, "If he's smart, I'll castrate him when we get back and send him to the royal grandson as a playmate."

"Hey, coincidentally, that's what I was thinking too."
