“Yes, yes.”
Although the two golden-armored guards were a whole realm lower in cultivation than them, the five of them did not dare to put on airs in front of the two guards.
Upon hearing this, he nodded quickly and followed the two of them out of the palace.
At this moment, Li Qing had already arrived at the Wanshou Hall.
He did not attend court on the 20th, but instead ran out to wander around, which had already caused dissatisfaction among the officials in the court.
So, as the roar of "Long live the emperor" ended and the ministers stood up, the old and aging You Ping stepped forward, bowed to Li Qing, and shouted, "Your Majesty! Why haven't you attended court for more than ten days?"
Li Qing had no other options for this old man who had no magical powers but relied entirely on his energy to persevere and still lived to be over ninety years old. He could only chuckle and say, "I had some personal matters to attend to, so I was delayed in attending court."
"Your Majesty! The Emperor has no private concerns! If there is something, you can speak directly in the court. The ministers will work tirelessly to find a solution for Your Majesty! How can Your Majesty go and solve the problem on your own? If Your Majesty is harmed, wouldn't it bring unrest to the Great Shang Dynasty?!"
You Ping may be old but he looks young, and his voice is as loud as a bell, accompanied by a hint of scolding. He really doesn't give Li Qing, the Human Emperor, any face at all.
Shang Rong, Bigan, Yang Ren, Zhao An, Shen Gongbao, Huang Feihu, as well as the ministers of the six ministries and officials from the thirty-six routes, all had calm expressions and no one came out to refute.
It seems that they are quite dissatisfied with Li Qing's irresponsible behavior.
Seeing that no one spoke up for him, Li Qing could only laugh dryly and said, "Okay, okay, You Sima is right. I will discuss things with you in the future."
Seeing this, You Ping slowed down his voice and said, "Your Majesty, this is not me being nosy. This is a matter of your Majesty's safety and the whole of the Shang Dynasty. You must not act on impulse."
"Okay, I understand."
Li Qing nodded lightly.
You Ping then bowed slightly to Li Qing, and then returned to his seat, still sitting on the armchair that he had been rewarded with.
Seeing You Ping's persuasion, Shang Rong coughed dryly, stepped out, and bowed to Li Qing with a smile on his face, saying, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Although Your Majesty has been away for the past ten days, the Great Shang Kingdom has gradually developed in a stable direction. Not only has the rebellion in the North Sea been eliminated, but three days ago, Grand Tutor Wen brought back victory news, and the rebellion in the Western Desert has also been wiped out by him!"
Li Qing naturally knew that the rebellion in the Western Desert had been wiped out, but on the surface he just smiled and nodded, saying, "Good! Grand Tutor is mighty!"
Bigan also walked out with a smile and bowed, saying, "The rebellions in the North Sea and the West Desert have been suppressed, and all the bandits have been killed without a single intact body! This has also frightened the barbarians in the South Desert and the East Sea, and they all retreated ten days ago!"
Upon hearing this, Li Qing frowned and said, "They've wreaked havoc on my southern and eastern borders, and you think you can just leave? Where's Huang Feihu?"
"I am here!"
Huang Feihu stepped out immediately upon hearing this.
Li Qing said in a deep voice, "Most of the North Sea army has already returned. I will ask you to lead 300,000 troops to the Southern Wilderness and kill those Southern Wilderness barbarians who have invaded my Great Shang border! We will wash away our blood debt. Are you willing to go?"
Huang Feihu had just returned from the North Sea and was exhausted and hadn't rested yet. But when he heard Li Qing's words, a fierce gleam flashed in his eyes and he shouted, "I am willing to go! These thieves and barbarians have killed my people and plundered my wealth! How can we let them leave like this!"
"good!"
Li Qing laughed heartily and shouted, "Huang Feihu, listen to my command! I order you to be the General of the Southern Expedition and lead an army of 300,000! Choose six generals and set off tomorrow! Head to the Southern Wilderness! Hunt down the barbarians!"
"I obey the decree!"
Huang Feihu immediately knelt down and agreed, then took the tiger talisman handed to him by Wang Youzhi, turned around and walked out of the Wanshou Hall, preparing to go into battle.
Seeing this, Li Qing nodded and then asked, "Do you have any other memorials?"
A few more people came out of the crowd and submitted the personnel changes and officials' promotions that Yin Jiao had been unable to handle in the past few days.
Li Qing naturally solved the problem in minutes and then withdrew from the court.
The Emperor retired from the morning court session and began to have breakfast.
Li Qing was eating delicious food while saying calmly, "Youzhi, go and call Du Yuanxian to me."
Wang Youzhi quickly agreed and then walked out quickly.
Du Yuanxian was the chief of the royal city guards, so anyone who came to pay homage to the Human Emperor or asked to see the Human Emperor had to pass through him.
"Jiufeng, you can't let Du Yuanxun rely on the Royal City's formation to kill you."
Li Qing thought slowly in his heart.
Logically speaking, Jiufeng should have come to find him long ago, but no one mentioned this matter during the court session today.
Then there are only two possibilities. One is that Jiufeng did not come at all. The other is that Jiufeng came, but as a great wizard, he was discovered by Du Yuanxun directly outside the city. Then, relying on the great formation, Du Yuanxun would kill anyone below the quasi-saint level, so Jiufeng was beaten to death.
Killing a member of the witch clan does not require alerting the Human Emperor.
