Qinglong City, the imperial palace.

The imperial city of Qinglong City is almost centered on the Qinglong Divine Tree, facing north and south, and is arranged in a few main palace groups, including the harem, the central hall, the front hall, and the front hall. Around these three central halls, there are twelve halls, twenty-four pavilions, and seventy-two palace courtyards. In the harem, there is also an imperial garden covering a wide area.

The Twelve Halls are located at the southernmost part of the Imperial City, divided into the Six Palaces of Wen and the Six Palaces of Wu. They are the offices of the East and West Pavilions, next to the south gate of the Imperial City. If you continue to go inside, you will have twenty-four pavilions. The first twelve pavilions are the outer pavilions, which are equivalent to the secretary's office of the ministers of the Six Palaces of Wen. The twelve pavilions of the government are the twelve pavilions, but they are conveyed and implemented. Therefore, they are also called the Twelve pavilions of Zheng. Although the officials inside are not of high rank, they have very great real power. They even have suggestions on the letters of the Minister of Military Affairs of the Twelve Pavilions, correcting, rejecting, etc.

The latter twelve pavilions are called cabinets, and the ones in charge of the cabinet are eunuchs who manage all the affairs of the royal family, and even the Imperial Guards who guard the royal family. Although they do not have the power to leave the imperial city, they are comparable to those of the outer pavilions. The eunuchs in the Twelve pavilions are masters and are the most loyal slaves of the royal family.

East and West, inner and outer halls formed the political system of the Qinglong Empire, with civil and military conflicts and internal and external restraints. This system has been formed for more than 800 years and has been tested by years.

Naland, the Grand Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, also has a place in the twelve halls. He is the Minister of Wuying Hall and is regarded as the second-ranked second-ranked minister of Wuying Hall. He also serves as the dean of Aoki Academy. With these two auras, Naland's status and influence are not inferior to the first-ranked minister of Wutian Hall in Wu Sixth Hall.

The great duke with real power, Naland is a hot figure in the empire. Moreover, Naland had two dynasties and the current emperor ascended the throne, and he was regarded as a minister of the dragon. His foundation was extremely stable. He came out of Aoki Academy, walked through the Imperial Street of the Twelve Halls, bypassed the Political Hall, and passed the inner gate, and entered the core of the imperial city.

The imperial city of the Qinglong Empire is a rectangular, long from north to south and narrow from east to west. The imperial city is surrounded by two imperial walls. Between the two walls is a military road. After the joint venture of the main gate, it is the Imperial Street of the Hall of the Hall of the Twelve Pavilions, which is the office of the foreign ministers, and the center is the Hall of Political Affairs.

Behind the Political Consultation Hall, passing through a small square, there is another inner wall. Behind this wall is the exclusive place of the royal family. The central hall, also known as the Qinglong Dazheng Hall, has twelve inner pavilions on the left and right, while the Qinglong Dazheng Hall is the place where the emperor works except for the external court and morning court.

Of course, if there is an urgent task, the emperor will also meet the ministers here. However, the ministers must enter the Dazheng Hall, but they must obtain the emperor's approval before entering. As for the Qinglong Dazheng Hall heading north, it is the main trunk of the Qinglong Divine Tree, which rises straight into the sky. Behind the Dazheng Tree is the harem, and there is a forbidden area that foreign ministers cannot enter.

"Duke Nalan, Your Majesty has an order to meet in Zuohun Pavilion! Please follow me." The eunuch who spoke was sent by a message. In the Qinglong Empire, the number of eunuchs was strictly controlled. There were only three thousand quotas in the entire imperial city. Moreover, once these eunuchs entered the palace, there would be new eunuchs substitutes until after their death. Moreover, eunuchs rarely went out of the palace. Even if they left the imperial city, they would only pass the eunuchs in Qinglong City and rarely sent out.

Naland was obviously familiar with the family, followed the eunuch with his head held high and headed up, heading all the way to the left of the warm-up hall. The left-up hall is located on the left side of the Dazheng Hall, which is considered an ear room, but it is blessed with the warm-fire soul talisman array, so even in winter, the left-up hall is warm as spring.

"My dear, Nalander bows to your Majesty!" Nalander walked into the East Warehouse, but bent down and bowed. However, he was stopped by Dongfang Shuo and said, "You are not an outsider, so you are exempt from gifts. Go and bring a chair for Duke Zhenguo. I was about to send someone to summon Duke Zhenguo over, but unexpectedly, Duke Zhenguo came to him by himself!"

Dongfang Shuo respects Nalander very much. If you count it carefully, Nalander will be his mentor. Although Nalander became the dean of Aoki Academy when he graduated from Aoki Academy, Dongfang Shuo's graduation certificate was signed with Nalander's name. Moreover, Nalander gave him a lot of help when he ascended the throne. In the past two or three years, it was thanks to Nalander's mediation.

"I don't know what's wrong with Your Majesty?" Naland had to put his affairs aside and asked.

Dongfang Shuo took out a memorial and handed it over, saying, "Look, this is the list of meritorious people just delivered by Blizzard Mansion. Even if you are competing for merit, I don't know if I should be angry or angry. These guys really think that I don't know what kind of virtue they are below, and what's going on with recapturing Stormwind City this time!"

The Qinglong Empire has been a thousand-year empire, and internal problems have been deeply rooted in the bones after thousands of years of accumulation. Even if the empire has repeatedly produced wise rulers, it can only work hard to maintain them. Fortunately, there is an external enemy who can transfer internal conflicts. The reason why the empire can continue to this day is an invincible contribution. If the orcs had not invaded once every 20 years, or even swept half of the empire's territory, causing the local government to constantly reshuffle, this situation would have long developed beyond control.

Just like the southeast and east of the empire, the prefectures and counties that were rarely invaded by orcs, local areas, the wealthy families were mixed and deeply rooted in power, and they had reached a point where even the emperor could not fully control it. It also affected the whole body, like a huge tumor, sucking the blood of the empire.

Stormwind City fell, and reinforcements drawn from all sides were slow to march. Except for a division of the Sixth Imperial Army Corps arrived on time, all other reinforcements rushed forward slowly after entering Blizzard Mansion. They marched less than twenty miles a day. Instead, they heard the news of Stormwind City recapturing, and rushed a hundred miles a day, pounced on like a wolf.

Naland spent more than ten years in the army and knew the details of the local legion. He just glanced at it, but said not to heart: "Your Majesty, these are all minor matters, and after all, they were a great victory, and the results were remarkable. No matter how these local legions performed before, they were still very desperate in the last battle. Moreover, they only fought for more than three months, and the losses were the smallest losses in all orc invasions! It is also possible to pay the reward."

Dongfang Shuo gritted his teeth and said, "A group of borers, the foundation of the empire has been damaged by these guys. Sooner or later, I will deal with these borers!" When Dongfang Shuo was still a Qianlong, he secretly served in the military service in the local area. Because he was hiding his identity, he saw the most real things, eating empty owes and drinking military blood. He could not be promoted without background. Those who refuse to join the river will be excluded and the atmosphere is extremely corrupt.

And all this happened only ten years ago. Who would have thought that more than ten years ago, these armies defeated the arrogant tribal army, regained the empire's territory, and drove the tribe back to the wilderness.

"Your Majesty, a little impotent will cause a big plan. It's not time to attack the local area now. However, the Blizzard Mansion should have some sand to make it so that the Blizzard Legion cannot swallow the Storm Legion. Although the Storm Legion suffered heavy losses this time, it was full of strength to resist when facing the tribal army. Even if it was almost wiped out, the remaining troops remained undiminished. I think the Storm Legion could be reorganized, and the reorganized legion could be taken into his hands by His Majesty!"

"Instead of trying hard to rectify local legions and reorganize a legion, it is like painting on white paper. Your Majesty can form this legion according to your own wishes and make it your Majesty's right-hand man!"

When Dongfang Shuo heard this, he nodded very much and said, "Duke Zhenguo is right. Although the Storm Legion was wrong in this battle, it also made great contributions. Especially the recapture of Storm City, it proved their loyalty to the empire. As for the reorganization plan, Duke Zhenguo should be more worried. If possible, select some poor families from the academy and try not to have children from the aristocratic families!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Although Naland was a nobleman, Dongfang Shuo said this, but he hugged him in it, but Naland nodded happily.

"The Duke of Zhenguo is loyal to the king and the country. I will never forget the contribution of the Nalan family. Lu Zhenyuan was not seriously injured and was afraid that it would be difficult to take on the great responsibility. Let Nalan Xiucai be the commander of the Storm Legion. Xiucai and I are good friends. When they were together in the army, they were like-minded. I feel relieved if he presided over the Storm Legion!"

"Your Majesty, the scholar is afraid it will be difficult for him to take this responsibility..."

"Needless to say, I believe in the skills of a scholar. This matter is decided so I will issue an order when I turn back!" Dongfang Shuo did not give Nalander a chance to refuse and directly interrupted: "By the way, is it a matter of entering the palace at this time of Duke Zhenguo?"

Naland smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't that grandson-in-law who loves to cause trouble yet!"

"Yang Ye? Why did he cause trouble? This time he can regain Stormwind City, but he has to rely on him. Mu Tian Hou Mansion has a successor. Unfortunately, he is too young. Otherwise, the credit for this time would be enough to entrust the important task, but now he can only be wronged!"

"Your Majesty, don't say that. That kid is so proud now. Don't support him!" Naland said, and said in detail what he knew from beginning to end.

"Hiss, is it true?" Dongfang Shuo was also shocked. At the age of thirteen, he could actually forge a soul armor suit. This kid would be against the will of heaven.

"That's fake. I saw it with my own eyes and was shocked. When I came, the old man Li Ji also smelled the smell and came to me. Now it should be with me. However, the soul armor is so evil, but how much strength it can have remains to be proved!"

"Even if it's just mediocre, it's enough to shock people. He is only thirteen years old! It seems that this kid will be better than Mu Tianhou of the Yang family in the future, but it's a pity..."

Naland knew what Dongfang Shuo meant. Dongfang Shuo was determined to change the decline of the empire and revive the empire. Inevitably, the corrupt local legion of the empire was a stubborn person, and no one with enough prestige and influence to preside over it may cause the empire to turmoil. If Yang Ye's father did not die, he would have the qualification, but unfortunately...

"I want to meet this little guy who is always unexpected, I don't know what the Duke of Zhenguo thought!"

"Your Majesty, he is only thirteen years old. He is too favored, which will not help his growth!"

"Hey, if he could be ten years older, it wouldn't be so embarrassing!"

"Your Majesty is in full swing in the spring and autumn, and you can still wait for ten years. The orcs are defeated this time, and there is probably no way to recover within twenty years. Your Majesty has time to revive the Empire!"

"I'm too anxious. I don't have his name on my credit, but I have to reward you. Let him have a name in the new group of the Storm Legion!"

"this?"

"That's it. He didn't serve as the captain of the militia before. He was rewarded for his merits and promoted to the camp lieutenant, which was not an exaggeration!"

"Thirteen-year-old lieutenant? Your Majesty, he is still in the college!"

"Can't you even find a deputy in the Mutian Marquis' Mansion?"
