LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 1438: Decision to Take Action
"This so-called Xuantian Treasure Record, isn't it your masterpiece?"
After Zhou Yiqiao left, Luo Fengtian suddenly spoke to the air beside him.
"Is it that obvious?"
A man's chuckle was heard in the void, and then a familiar mysterious man walked out of the void and appeared in front of Luo Fengtian again.
"you......"
Luo Fengtian seemed to want to say something, but when the words reached his lips they turned into a helpless sigh.
"You, your help to Zhou Yiqiao is too obvious."
The mysterious man smiled and curled the corners of his lips, saying it with pride instead of shame.
"Of course. Zhou Yiqiao doesn't have the bloodline of you guys. I'm the only one who can help him."
Luo Fengtian smiled bitterly and shook his head, not continuing to dwell on these trivial issues.
"Since the contents of this Xuantian Treasure Record were recorded by you, can you guarantee that the contents are true?"
The mysterious man sat down carelessly on the desk where Luo Fengtian was reviewing memorials, flipped through the memorials casually, and answered nonchalantly.
"Don't worry, the contents recorded in this Xuantian Treasure Record are all what I saw with my own eyes and collected personally, and the contents are absolutely true!"
Luo Fengtian felt relieved after hearing this. He stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, as if he was thinking about something important.
After a long while, he stopped, looked at the mysterious man with burning eyes, and asked in a deep voice.
"Do you know what the consequences will be if the punishment is carried out according to the contents of this Xuantian Treasure Record?"
The mysterious man shrugged, looking nonchalant.
"What consequences can there be? At most, it will cause unrest in the government and the opposition."
Upon hearing this, Luo Fengtian seemed to be extremely angry and laughed instead.
"You don't have to worry about such a big mess. It's easy to talk without any pain. If I do as you say, I'm afraid that within three days, the whole Daxuantian will be in chaos."
"It's because you can't let go of the power in your hands. If you had followed my advice and given up the position of Crown Prince and followed me to seek the way to immortality, you wouldn't have so many troubles."
The mysterious man still looked disdainful and retorted with a curl of his lips.
Upon hearing this, Luo Fengtian paused in his review of the memorials, and a hint of desolation flashed in his eyes.
But this dejected look did not last long. In the blink of an eye, it was replaced by a determined look and he continued to review memorials.
"I can't be as free and easy as you."
"As the overlord of the entire Tianchen Realm, the rise and fall of Daxuantian is no longer just the business of the Luo family."
"I can't just watch the Eight Pillars gradually take control of the royal family and start a bloody storm that sweeps across the entire Tianchen Realm."
The mysterious man snorted coldly, his tone full of sarcasm.
"A high-sounding excuse."
"This world will not stop functioning without anyone. If you had stood aside and watched, the Eight Pillars' control of the government of the Great Xuantian would have been nothing more than a small-scale power struggle, not as dangerous as you say."
"If you can't let go of the power at hand, then you can't let go of the power at hand. Why make so many excuses?"
Luo Fengtian smiled bitterly and shook his head and did not continue to argue with the mysterious man.
"Forget it, whatever you say. For me, as long as the Luo family is safe and the people are happy, that's all."
Having said this, the two did not continue arguing.
Luo Fengtian reviewed the last memorial in his hand, looked up and looked directly into the eyes of the mysterious man under his hood, and spoke in an extremely sincere manner.
"No matter what, now that I have obtained the Xuantian Treasure Record, the entire Xuantian will inevitably experience a bloody storm."
"I can't do it alone, and I'll need your help when the time comes."
Although the two had different ideas, Luo Fengtian had to admit that he had great trust in the mysterious man in front of him.
The mysterious man did not let Luo Fengtian down and nodded in agreement without any hesitation.
"Okay, I have to stay in Daxuantian to take care of Zhou Yiqiao during this period. If you need help, just call me."
"But this list includes most of the officials in Daxuantian, and many of Luo Fengmo's men are also involved. If you are ready to take action, don't forget to inform your fourteenth brother."
Hearing this, Luo Fengtian smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry, I won't forget it."
"So best."
The mysterious man smiled slightly, and his figure turned into nothingness again and disappeared in the hall.
......
On the other side, Zhou Yiqiao left the Nine Dragon Hall and ran into Luo Lishang who had been waiting outside the hall.
"Well, what did the emperor say?"
Zhou Yiqiao did not give a direct answer, but nodded with a smile.
"Your Majesty has accepted Zhou's advice. I believe that everything will be solved in no time."
Upon hearing this, Luo Lishang's frown finally relaxed.
The two of them boarded the Flying Luan Chariot and set off together to return to Luo Lishang's bedroom.
Perhaps the threat that had been hanging over Daxuantian was resolved by Zhou Yiqiao. Luo Lishang, who had always seemed a little cold since returning from Canglong Ridge, finally softened his temperament at this moment.
Zhou Yiqiao looked at Luo Lishang's profile as he looked out the window in a daze. After a while, he suddenly asked a question that caught Luo Lishang off guard.
"Excuse me, Zhou, for being so presumptuous. I wonder what Her Royal Highness the Princess thinks of the Immortal Emperor?"
Luo Lishang was stunned, and when he turned around, he met Zhou Yiqiao's undisguised gaze, and suddenly felt a sense of confusion in his heart.
She shook her head slowly, not knowing how to answer Zhou Yiqiao's question for a moment.
"My brother and I's attitude towards our father should be just like what I told you at the beginning. There should be more hatred than affection."
"But as I get older and get to know my father better, my opinion is slowly changing."
Luo Lishang said softly, with complex emotions in his eyes.
"Although my father holds a high position, he is not a heartless person."
she continued.
"He has his ambitions and responsibilities, but also his frustrations and difficulties."
"I have personally seen him rely on his Mahayana cultivation to handle government affairs day and night for the people of Daxuantian, completely ignoring his own cultivation."
"In his heart, the rise and fall of the entire Great Xuantian should be in his mind."
Zhou Yiqiao listened quietly without interrupting Luo Lishang.
"But, Father also has his limitations."
Luo Lishang sighed.
"He is a member of the Luo family after all. Many times, his decisions have to take the interests of the family into consideration."
"This makes him seem a little indecisive when dealing with some matters, and sometimes he even makes some incomprehensible decisions."
"Even after the battle at Canglong Ridge, I learned from my father that my mother's death was actually caused by the Sheng and Rong families who sensed the threat posed by my mother and secretly murdered her. My father could only hold back his anger for the sake of the overall situation, and my hatred for him has not completely dissipated."
There was a slight tremor in Luo Lishang's voice, and it was obvious that the past had a profound impact on her.
"I understand how you feel."
Zhou Yiqiao spoke softly, trying to calm Luo Lishang's mood.
Luo Lishang waved his hands to indicate that he was fine, and then continued stubbornly.
"I don't know what my brother thinks, but for me right now, respect for our father is more important than family affection."
"I just hope that the chaos in Daxuantian will end soon, so that I can use the trump card my mother left for me."
Zhou Yiqiao heard this and nodded with a smile.
Don't worry, Your Majesty is not an unreasonable person. I believe that everything will be solved in no time."
Luo Lishang sighed and said nothing more. Instead, he turned his head and continued to stare out the window in a daze.
The Feiluan Chariot sped all the way and soon returned to Luo Lishang's bedroom.
As soon as the two entered the hall, a maid ran over in a hurry and whispered something in Luo Lishang's ear.
After Luo Lishang heard this, his expression suddenly turned a little ugly.
She turned around and said to Zhou Yiqiao.
"I'm sorry, I have something urgent to attend to and I can't accompany you."
After saying this, without waiting for Zhou Yiqiao to answer, he turned around and left the bedroom before he even stood firmly.
Zhou Yiqiao looked at Luo Lishang's departing back, his brows slightly furrowed, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
But when he thought that Luo Lishang did not invite him to go with him, he felt a little relieved.
He returned to his bedroom, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and rested, and once again fell into seclusion.
......
Time passed quickly, and soon it was time for the semi-monthly court meeting of Daxuantian.
As the person who provided the Xuantian Treasure Record, Zhou Yiqiao was specially called by Luo Fengtian to a side hall to listen in on the court meeting.
In the main hall, Luo Fengtian sat upright on the golden throne, his eyes slightly closed and his body straight.
The ministers below stood in a row, each doing their own job and discussing the matter, but no one dared to overstep the line.
With a clear bell ringing, the court meeting officially began. Luo Fengtian slowly opened his eyes, his eyes like lightning, scanning the ministers below.
"My dear ministers, I have something important to discuss with you at today's court meeting."
Luo Fengtian's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard throughout the hall.
The ministers immediately stopped whispering and all turned their eyes to the Immortal Emperor who was high above them.
"The eight major families headed by the Sheng family and the Rong family are still in the Heavenly Prison and have not been dealt with yet."
"I think that with so many people from the eight major families, even if they are kept in the prison, it will cost the Great Xuantian a huge amount of money every day. It is better to sentence them as soon as possible."
"The sooner he is executed, the sooner the court will be cleaned up, reducing the loss of national treasury resources."
"What do you think?"
After Luo Fengtian finished speaking, he looked around to confirm the expressions of the ministers.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense. The ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to speak easily.
Everyone consciously or unconsciously turned their eyes to Prime Minister Wei Wenyuan, hoping that this veteran of three dynasties could express his opinion at this time and give everyone a general direction.
Once a prime minister becomes prime minister, any action he takes at this time may represent an attitude and influence the direction of the entire court.
