Since Jiang Li has agreed.
Lin Che naturally followed with big strides, and he went directly to Jiang Li's side, not following behind Jiang Li like other ministers did on weekdays.
This kind of behavior has already crossed the line and is extremely disrespectful.
However, even Jiang Li didn't say anything, and the other Shadow Guards saw it but pretended not to see it.
After walking about two hundred meters, he suddenly saw a row of shadow guards standing in front of him, and Dao Nu was among them.
She was holding a plate covered with a lid, which looked like a delicacy.
"Master Dao Nu, what is this?" Lin Che asked.
Dao Nu glanced at Lin Che and didn't answer. Instead, he silently opened the lid.
What's inside looks like...
A bowl of blood!!
It is dark red in color, and there must be other drugs mixed in it.
It is a medicine cooked with blood.
Jiang Li walked over silently, stretched out his fair hand, picked up the bowl of medicine, tilted his head back and drank it.
Lin Che wanted to ask what kind of medicine this was, but when he saw Jiang Li's long silver-white hair, he seemed to understand something.
Jiang Li used the imperial seal, and the price he paid was not just the superficial turning of his hair silver.
Jiang Li frowned and drank the bowl of medicine, with bright red blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
She took the handkerchief handed to her by Dao Nu and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She seemed to be relieved and said to Lin Che:
"It's just the blood medicine of a ferocious beast, nothing special."
"Dao Nu, is Fa Zheng ready?"
Dao Nu said respectfully, "Everything is ready. The former generals of the Tian Ce Army have also arrived. They are just waiting for Your Majesty... How about I ask them to come back tomorrow?"
"No need! Just tonight. The Tiance Army is still my army. We must handle it properly. Let's go back now!"
After Jiang Li finished speaking, he led his men back to Lei Shi City.
Lin Che was stunned and stopped where he was, staring blankly at Jiang Li as he walked away.
He had gotten this far, so he naturally understood what it meant to continue following the group and attend this kind of meeting...
Jiang Li, who was in front, walked forward step by step. With her cultivation level, she could clearly feel that Lin Che had stayed where she was.
She wanted to look back several times, but finally held back.
She didn't want to force anyone, especially Lin Che.
Before she knew it, she had returned to the City Lord's Mansion. In the conference room, there were already more than a dozen people waiting for her.
Not only Duke Qianling was there, but also representatives of the Black Armor Army and royal family members who had rushed over from Tiandu City. Among them were princes, princes, and uncles-in-law, all of whom were members of the royal family.
The military representative, on the other hand, sat at the back.
"Greetings, Your Majesty—" When the royal family saw Jiang Li coming, they all bowed, and many of them did not need to kneel.
"Everyone, no need to be so polite! Please sit down!" Jiang Li smiled and looked very calm.
But she knew very well that as the first female emperor of Dagan, she would face such challenges all the time.
An elderly prince spoke first and asked:
"Your Majesty, how much life do you have left?"
Such an outrageous question, if asked in other situations, would surely scare everyone to their knees.
However, in this conference room, everyone's face was very calm, as if they were all waiting for the answer.
Jiang Li said in a clear voice, "Your Highness, don't worry. I've been practicing the Great Emperor's Scriptures, and this summoning of the Imperial Seal only consumed a portion of it. Living for a few more decades shouldn't be a problem!"
The old prince continued, "It's all because you have this confidence. You should know how heavy the responsibility is when you sit on the throne."
"Of course!"
Jiang Li responded, looked at an old general on his left, and said:
"What we are discussing tonight is the reconstruction of the Tiance Army. Uncle, I asked you to come here this time because I want you to take on this important task."
The white-haired uncle was silent for a while before he spoke:
"Rebuilding the Tiance Army isn't that difficult. Given three years, it will be a powerful army once again. We need your Majesty's help in replenishing the things we need to recover. One of them is the Wind, Fire, and Thunder Lion."
"That's right! Your Majesty, our Royal Majesty wants to take this Wind, Fire, and Thunder Lion back."
"And the Mountain, River, State Map! These two must not fall into the hands of outsiders!"
The entire conference room nodded in agreement.
Regardless of whether they are royal family members or not, whether it is for the interests of the royal family themselves, or whether they are just ministers and are doing it for the interests of the greater good.
None of them would give up these two treasures!
Jiang Li didn't wait for them to discuss further and said:
"Is there anything wrong with leaving the things in Lin Che's hands now? The homeland of the Shenji Battalion has been incorporated into our Dagan territory, and they are our Dagan soldiers. Moreover, the contributions made by Lin Che and the Shenji Battalion are not enough to make you trust his ability?"
"His Majesty--"
The old prince immediately began to refute: "How can we treat national affairs as a joke?"
"All of us here trust Lin Che's abilities. We are all grateful to him for saving our Dagan. His achievement as a great scholar is a testament to his trustworthy character. It's also because of this that we turned a blind eye to the many mishaps he caused."
"But, after all, he is not one of my soldiers! He is not one of my men! You should know that his title of Champion Marquis is just a title. Your Majesty, will he obey your decree?"
Jiang Li moved his lips but did not refute immediately.
In fact, judging from Lin Che's various behaviors, the so-called imperial edict had no effect at all.
For the royal family, even if they appoint a mediocre person, as long as he is obedient and under control, that is enough.
If a genius escapes the control of the court and acts recklessly, what does it matter even if he is a genius?
Who knows, if Lin Che gets unhappy one day, he might lead his troops to attack Tiandu City.
When the court officials woke up, the enemy was already at the gates!
Do they need to bet the entire imperial court that Lin Che won’t do this?
You have to know that Lin Che attacked Leishi City directly in a fit of rage, and he took it down in just one day.
"The Wind, Fire, and Thunder Lion is our Dagan's national guardian beast! We can't lose it! It should be under the control of our royal family!"
"The Mountain, River, State, and State Map—I don't need to explain the benefits and disadvantages of this. Giving it to the Divine Machine Camp would be like giving a tiger a pair of wings!"
"Your Majesty, we really don't understand why you are still trying to stop us."
Jiang Li was left speechless by these questions one after another.
As an emperor, can you do whatever you want?
She also needs the support of the royal family and the support of the Jiang family. Those complicated and tangled relationships are the lifeblood of the entire Dagan.
Can't move at all!
What should she do?
