Pingyang Palace.
This is where Emperor Dagan usually reviews memorials.
Emperor Dagan sat on the dragon throne, carefully reviewing the memorials submitted from various places. Below him was the second prince Li Dongyun.
Today's Dagan Empire is not the kind of empire where the top beam is crooked and the bottom beam is crooked.
On the contrary, the entire empire was incomparably strong, the Emperor Dagan was extremely wise, and many of the princes were also extraordinarily intelligent.
Just like the second prince Li Dongyun, he has been extremely sensitive to government affairs since he was a child and has his own unique insights, so Emperor Dagan would occasionally take Li Dongyun to talk about government affairs.
Li Dongyun bowed and said, "Father, there is a serious bandit problem in Xinyang Prefecture. I have sent people to investigate. These bandits are supported by the prefect of Xinyang Prefecture. Their purpose is to plunder the people."
"It was precisely because of the Xinyang prefect's secret tip-offs that we were able to escape every time when surrounded by soldiers."
Xinyang Prefecture is located on the edge of the Dagan Empire. When the might of heaven reached there, there was little left, so the local officials were like little emperors, acting recklessly.
The people of Xinyang Prefecture have been suffering terribly in recent years, and have protested in the capital more than once.
The imperial court also sent people to encircle and suppress the bandits, but unfortunately those bandits were like loaches and could not be completely wiped out, and a large number of manpower was lost.
After hearing what Li Dongyun said, a hint of coldness flashed across the majestic face of Emperor Dagan.
"Then according to Yun'er, how should we deal with this matter?"
Li Dongyun immediately spoke up: "My Great Empire is strong and powerful. As for Xinyang Prefecture, I think we should just send someone to capture the Xinyang prefect and bring him to the capital for interrogation."
When Emperor Dagan heard this, he looked at him silently, and then said again:
"Let's do it this way."
At this moment, a figure quickly approached and whispered softly in Emperor Dagan's ear.
"What?"
The Emperor Dagan frowned, his tone filled with anger: "What on earth does he want to do? I turned a blind eye to all the nasty things he did on a daily basis, so how can he get involved in this matter?"
"Tell Li Chengqian to come over here right now!"
When the eunuch saw that Emperor Dagan was angry, he was also frightened and quickly obeyed the order and left the hall.
News just came that Li Chengqian will participate in the martial arts exchange meeting of the Han Empire in three days. This conference is jointly held by the Dagan Empire and the Han Empire.
It is held once a year, and each time the two empires send ten young people. The winner will not only be directly appointed as a cavalry general, but also receive a large reward.
Martial arts are flourishing in the Xuanhuang Realm now, so this kind of competition will naturally attract a lot of attention.
The fifth prince, Li Chengqian, is a recognized waste, neither good at literature nor martial arts. If such a waste were to participate in a martial arts exchange meeting, it would be a complete discredit to their Great Gan Empire.
Normally, he was too lazy to ask about Li Chengqian's actions that would damage his reputation, after all, the matter was not very serious.
But the interest in this martial arts exchange meeting is completely different.
Li Dongyun saw that his father was a little angry, so he couldn't help but ask, "Father, I wonder what the fifth brother did?"
Emperor Da Gan sighed, the anger on his face turning into a faint murderous intent. "He participated in the Martial Arts Exchange Conference and used his royal selection to directly become one of the ten. Now that the list of participants has been released, it's too late to withdraw."
ah?
Li Dongyun was stunned.
Is Lao Wu such a fool?
Is it possible to do such a thing?
You have to know that it was a martial arts exchange conference, and the contestants on both sides were almost all the strongest of the younger generation of the two empires.
As far as he knew, this time the Han Empire also had a young genius who was half a step away from becoming a martial arts master participating in the competition.
Of course, they also have a great empire.
No wonder my father was so angry.
The stupid things Li Chengqian did on a daily basis did not cause any harm to the foundation, but this incident really hurt the reputation of the entire Dagan Empire.
He could even imagine the scene after Li Chengqian was defeated in the ring.
You will definitely be ridiculed!
This bad reputation might even implicate his father. After all, Li Chengqian was a prince and his father was the emperor.
Li Dongyun immediately said, "Father, I have a plan that can turn this scandal into a good one."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Emperor Dagan said lightly.
Li Dongyun said with a serious expression, "Although I don't know why Lao Wu wants to participate in the martial arts exchange conference, I think he probably wants to gain face for the Dagan Empire. His starting point is good, but he didn't consider his own strength."
"Although the number of places can't be adjusted, there's still room for maneuver in the order of appearances. We just need to arrange for him to appear last. Furthermore, the strong martial arts culture of our Dagan Empire has influenced Old Five, leading him to actively participate in the martial arts exchange conference. With this publicity, even if we ultimately lose, it won't be affected."
"At least outsiders won't think that Li Chengqian is overestimating his own abilities."
In the martial arts exchange conference, their Dagan Empire almost always wins, so Li Dongyun instinctively thinks that they can also win even if Li Chengqian is put last.
The main fighting force is there, so it doesn’t matter whether Li Chengqian is there or not.
Emperor Dagan thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
"Someone, tell Li Chengqian not to come anymore."
Emperor Dagan was very displeased with the fifth prince. He was too lazy to even see him and even forgot to scold him.
Now he is waiting for the martial arts exchange conference to end, and then find an excuse to imprison him in the cold palace.
