Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Caogen and a faint smile appeared on her lips!
"Just how many things are you hiding from me?"
Lin Caogen said helplessly, "You know all my secrets! There's nothing left to hide from you!"
Mu Wanqing buried her hair in Lin Caogen's chest and said, "It opens on January 10th! Are you ready?"
Lin Caogen nodded firmly!
The next day in the imperial court, Lin Caogen issued the order to attack the Heavenly Palace on January 10th!
The entire court was utterly shocked! But since the emperor had spoken, they had no choice but to obey!
"Wuchang Yu, obey my command!"
"Your subject, Wu Changyu, is here!"
Lin Caogen, dressed in a yellow robe, addressed the emperor in the main hall: "Three days from now is January 10th, the day of Heavenly Thunder! Quickly prepare one hundred iron poles, each three hundred meters long! Weld fine needles onto the poles and insert them around the palace."
Wu Changyu said, "Your subject obeys the imperial decree!"
The civil and military officials looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what Lin Caogen was up to.
Fang Xiaoru couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty! What is the purpose of planting these iron poles? We really don't know!"
Lin Caogen laughed and said, "Senior Brother Fang, this is cutting-edge discharge!"
Fang Xiaoru, puzzled, asked, "What is a tip discharge?"
Lin Caogen laughed and said, "Lightning will be attracted to metal sharp points! You will all know when the heavenly tribulation descends in three days!"
The civil and military officials looked at each other, wondering what the emperor was really up to.
Lin Caogen continued, "On January 10th, divine punishment will descend! All my beloved ministers will join forces to attack the barrier of the Cloud Palace! Once a crack appears in the barrier, I will enter it to cultivate! The cultivation period may be one or two years, or it may be seven or eight years!"
At this moment, Wang Bodang, the Arrow King who had been specially summoned to court, spoke up: "This old minister has something to report."
Seeing that Wang Bodang was about to speak, Lin Caogen hurriedly said, "What does the Arrow King have to report? Please speak quickly!"
Wang Bodang said earnestly, "In three days, 160 Core Formation stage cultivators will join forces to attack the barrier of the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace. This is something worth trying. However, our Great Ming Dynasty has just been established and its foundation is not yet solid. If His Majesty goes to the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace to cultivate, how will the court decide if a major event occurs?"
Lin Caogen said, "The Arrow King is absolutely right! I have already made my decision on this matter! Wu Meiniang, step forward to receive my decree!"
Wu Zetian, dressed in a long skirt, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I accept the imperial decree!"
Lin Caogen said sternly, "While I am cultivating, you will be in charge of all government affairs, large and small! You will be responsible for reviewing all memorials! You must not slack off."
Wu Meiniang, both delighted and flustered, replied, "Your Majesty, I accept the imperial decree!"
Lin Caogen looked at Bai Su and said, "Bai Su, accept the imperial decree!"
Bai Su hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Su Su, accepts the imperial decree!"
Lin Caogen said sternly, "While I am cultivating, you will command the million-strong army of the Ming Dynasty! Step forward and receive the military tally!"
Bai Su said in a panic, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty dares not!"
Lin Caogen laughed and said, "Are you trying to embarrass me by not coming to receive the military tally?"
Bai Su hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, I dare not!"
After saying that, she quickly stood up and stretched out her hands!
Lin Caogen summoned a maid and placed the tiger tally on the tray!
Bai Su nervously picked up the tiger tally from the tray. This tiger tally could mobilize a million troops. She was just a young girl, so how could she not be nervous about holding such great power?
Lin Caogen then said, "Wang Xizhi, receive the imperial decree!"
Wang Xizhi hurriedly knelt down, holding the jade tablet, and said, "Your humble servant receives the imperial decree!"
Lin Caogen said, "While I am not in the palace, the heavy responsibility of the Ming Dynasty's finances, provisions, and logistics will be entrusted to you! You must not slack off!"
After saying this, a maidservant brought forward the golden seal and handed it to Wang Xizhi.
Lin Caogen then proceeded to assign tasks to the remaining individuals.
Among them, Fang Xiaoru was in charge of all judicial cases nationwide, Wu Santong was in charge of all imperial examinations nationwide, Baidi City was in charge of all urban planning nationwide, and Wang Bodang was in charge of domestic road transportation!
After arranging everything, Lin Caogen began preparing for the boundary-breaking event on January 10th!
Before we knew it, it was January 10th!
At 6 p.m., the sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds!
Lin Caogen led 160 Core Formation stage cultivators to stand atop the imperial palace, gazing at the sky and waiting for the Cloud Top Heavenly Palace to appear!
Mu Wanqing took Lin Caogen's arm and said, "Once a crack appears in the barrier of the Cloud Palace, I will quickly take you inside!"
Lin Caogen nodded.
At this moment, thousands of civil and military officials are watching all of this!
When everyone saw Mu Wanqing linking arms with Lin Caogen, they couldn't help but sigh, "The Emperor has never appointed an Empress. Could it be that the Empress's position is reserved for Miss Mu?"
The officials were in an uproar, and the female general Murong Yanran couldn't help but feel a little sad when she saw Mu Wanqing holding Lin Caogen's arm.
She was not bad-looking, and her cultivation was stronger than Mu Wanqing's, even three stars higher. Why wasn't she the one holding the king's arm?
Li Bing, a minister in charge of water conservancy, asked, "Magistrate Bao, who is that girl? She's holding the Emperor's arm! I've never seen her before."
Magistrate Bao Zheng exclaimed, "You don't even know her? You're something else, Li Bing! That's Mu Wanqing, the Emperor's senior sister! She and the Emperor both came from the Immortal Realm Continent!"
Li Bing muttered to himself, "So that's how it is! No wonder! No wonder!"
Murong Yanran looked at the sky, her expression suddenly tense! She saw the phantom of a palace already appearing in the clouds, and lightning had begun to strike the earth!
Everyone covered their heads, fearing they would be struck by lightning!
However, a thunderbolt flashed! The lightning was absorbed by a lightning rod in the distance!
Dozens of earthworms crawled out of the soil under the lightning rod! Some of them were already charred!
