Xiahou Jing nodded and prepared to go to the palace.
…
In the palace, Xiahou Jing, who had just got off the carriage, met the emperor's uncle, Ding Yunyi.
"Prime Minister Xiahou!" Ding Yunyi bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Brother Yunyi!" As soon as Xiahou Jing met Ding Yunyi, he took his hand and walked towards the stairs.
"But His Majesty summoned you to a meeting?"
"Yes, Prime Minister, do you know about Lu Ganhai's rebellion?"
"I do know that such traitors dared to overthrow the Great Red Court. I am deeply saddened to hear this."
"People's hearts have changed. Now the country is in turmoil and traitors are causing chaos. We should work together to end this chaos as soon as possible to save the people from suffering."
"Of course. I wonder what Brother Yunyi thinks of Lu Ganhai?"
Ding Yunyi thought for a while, and then pointed out several major advantages of Lu Ganhai.
"Lu Ganhai owns Huaizhou, Linzhou North, and Xiangzhou North. These are all places rich in military supplies. This is one of our advantages."
"It's located in the east of Shenzhou, bordering the imperial court to the north, Brother Nan Jing's territory to the west, and our ally Xie Wenzhou to the south. We face fewer enemies, which is our second advantage."
"Holding the Imperial Seal and possessing the symbol of Heaven's Mandate, this is the third advantage."
"The Lu family is a renowned clan with students and former officials all over the world. This is our fourth advantage."
"Yin Aoting and the Guanlong Guards went to Lu Ganhai. This is a fifth advantage."
"The Prime Minister must pay close attention to the above five points."
Xiahou Jing nodded as he listened. What Ding Yunyi said was consistent with his analysis. It seemed that Ding Yunyi really had the ability.
If the two of them join forces, this chaotic world will surely end.
"By the way, it is said that Yin Aoting is a famous general of the time. Brother Yunyi once fought against him. I wonder what he thought?" Xiahou Jing asked about the past of Yin Aoting, a general under Lu Ganhai.
"His martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world, and no one can surpass him. His strength must have reached the peak of the Martial Sect." Ding Yunyi recalled the scene at that time, and then added: "At that time, my two sworn brothers and I sparred with him. The three of us were all upper-level Martial Sects, so we barely managed a draw."
"In this case, I'm afraid he can be compared with the Overlord of Xianglin?" Xiahou Jing frowned.
"No, Xianglin Overlord has single-handedly fought against a hundred men and has reached the realm of Martial Saint." Ding Yunyi shook his head and continued, "As for Yin Aoting, his strength is not yet enough to break through to Martial Saint. But in this world, he is the only one who is closest to Martial Saint!"
The so-called Martial Master and Martial Saint are the divisions of martial arts realms on the Shenzhou continent.
The lowest level is Wufan, which are ordinary people who have not received special training.
The next level up is the warrior.
Those who have reached this level have often received special training and can fight against several people.
The third level is Wu Zong, which requires extremely high talent and is not achievable by ordinary people. It can fight against dozens of people.
The last level is the highest level of combat power, namely the Martial Saint.
In the Shenzhou continent, the only one who has reached this level is Xianglin Overlord.
Surrounded by the Red Army, he fought his way through a sea of blood and died of exhaustion after killing more than a hundred people.
But even if he reached such a powerful force, it would be nothing compared to the huge crowds of people.
Everyone will eventually run out of energy.
Xiahou Jing and Ding Yunyi chatted as they walked and finally entered the palace.
As soon as they entered the palace, they felt that the atmosphere was not right.
"Prime Minister, Uncle Emperor, I will speak directly to the point."
"I summoned you two here to discuss the matter of the traitor Lu Zhenyue."
"Now, my Red Dynasty is engulfed in war, with warring states dividing the country and the people displaced. I am deeply saddened."
"Since the late emperor's passing, the eunuch Zhang Zhong has disregarded the ancestral rites and laws, colluding with the treacherous minister Lu Feng to privately establish Prince Mu as emperor, thus stirring up unrest."
"The evil thief Motu, in his struggle for power, resorted to violence in the palace, causing rivers of blood to flow in the old capital and further turmoil in the court."
"Only after Motu's death did I have the opportunity to escape from the clutches of the rebels and inherit the throne."
"Even so, the country is still in turmoil. There are actually three emperors in the land of China. How ridiculous!"
"That's fine... after all, we're all brothers, but now there's an outsider claiming to be emperor!"
"Prime Minister, Imperial Uncle... Tell me, what should I do?"
The two could see that Emperor Chihui in front of them was very angry.
Just when the emperor was angry, a soldier brought a battle report.
"Speak!" Emperor Chihui shouted, but the soldier remained indifferent.
Xiahou Jing glanced at the soldier and asked him to read out the battle report: "Read it."
The soldier then read out the content of the battle report, which stated that Lu Ganhai's troops attacked the imperial court in two groups, one led by Yin Aoting and the other led by Ling Ji.
Emperor Chihui and Ding Yunyi glared at Xiahou Jing, but quickly adjusted themselves.
The soldiers only obeyed Xiahou Jing's orders and not the emperor's orders. What on earth did Xiahou Jing want to do?
But this is not the most important thing at the moment. The most important thing is to defeat Lu Ganhai.
"Your Majesty, I request to lead the troops south to attack Lingji." Ding Yunyi spoke first.
Emperor Chihui responded quickly, "I agree! Uncle, I order you to be the Right General and lead the Yingnan troops south. No one shall object! This sword is as if I were here in person. Please accept it, uncle!"
"I obey your order!" Ding Yunyi stepped forward and respectfully received the sword.
Before Xiahou Jing could react, the operation was completed smoothly.
"Your Majesty..." Before Xiahou Jing could finish, Emperor Chihui continued to make arrangements: "Xiahou Jing, I appoint you as the Grand General. Please take the tiger talisman and lead the imperial army to fight against Yin Aoting!"
"..." Xiahou Jing suppressed his anger and knelt down respectfully, "I obey your command."
"My dear ministers! Defending our Great Red State depends on you!"
"Our emperor is wise!" Everyone in the hall said in unison, ready to fight against the rebels.
