"Prime Minister Zhang, you should call him back as soon as possible."
"Otherwise, if we really anger the Martial Saint, it wouldn't be a wise choice for us either."
"Moreover, it also poses a considerable threat to us."
After pondering for a long time, Emperor Zhao Li slowly spoke to the Grand Secretary Zhang Julu.
And Zhang Julu thought the same way.
In any case, saving lives is the most important thing; everything else is secondary.
That's what they say, but doing something like that might not be so simple at all.
You have to understand that the young eunuch was probably very old, and his thinking was probably no different from that of an ordinary person.
Although Zhang Julu and the young eunuch had some interactions in their daily lives, the young eunuch was indeed a bit eccentric.
He had already made the arrangements, and at that time, the young eunuch had volunteered.
After all, in his mind, under such circumstances, he was relying on the national fortune of the Li Yang Dynasty.
If that Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm were to truly unite with Bei Han, which would be detrimental to the Li Yang Dynasty, then I fear my own life would be cut short.
If it really comes to that, wouldn't it be a huge loss?
So that's why he had this attitude, even if Zhang Julu didn't mention this matter to him.
He was naturally concerned about the fate of the Li Yang Dynasty and would not allow the Li Yang Dynasty to suffer any mishaps or problems.
"Your Majesty, this..."
Under these circumstances, Zhang Julu was indeed somewhat at a loss as to how to answer the Emperor's reasonable question...
Yes, as long as that young eunuch is transferred here, perhaps the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm or the Northern Cold Realm will be able to change things.
Naturally, they would not become enemies with the Liyang Dynasty.
Moreover, with his current strength, Emperor Zhao Li naturally doesn't have much confidence that he can launch a military campaign to destroy the Martial Saint of the Mortal World, Wangjian Mountain, and the vast territory of Beihan in one fell swoop.
“Now that things have come to this, Minister Zhang, you might as well speak your mind directly. Why be so hesitant?”
At this moment, Emperor Zhao Li also felt somewhat irritated.
Under these circumstances, what is Zhang Julu trying to hide? What is this guy thinking? What is he really thinking?
If they were to be attacked by that Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm and the Northern Cold Army, it would be a catastrophe for them.
If it really comes to that, then forget about the fate of the Liyang Dynasty.
By then, simply surviving will be extremely difficult.
"In response to Your Majesty, since the young eunuch came to our Liyang Dynasty, everything he has done has been based on his own understanding."
"Perhaps they simply won't follow our arrangements."
After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Julu finally spoke his mind.
Yes, over the years, everything that young eunuch has done has indeed benefited the Li Yang Dynasty.
But they simply don't obey their orders or arrangements.
Zhao Li's heart sank after hearing these words.
Yes, the young official himself didn't know just how capable he was.
Moreover, this guy survives by absorbing the national fortune of the Liyang Dynasty.
Moreover, this guy's strength is indeed quite remarkable.
Chapter 168 What does the Prime Minister think?
In the imperial court.
Emperor Li Yang's worried expression surprised the civil and military officials below the stage.
It's truly baffling what Emperor Liyang was worried about under these circumstances.
Moreover, if that young eunuch were to rashly engage in a life-or-death struggle with that martial saint, what would happen?
If he wasn't absolutely certain, how could he have done something so foolish?
Zhang Julu was naturally very clear about this, and in his memory, the young eunuch had lived for an unknown amount of time.
He naturally understands these things in the human world very well, and perhaps he also has some unique insights into how to make choices.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not entirely advantageous to us."
"But as far as I know, this young eunuch's abilities are also superior to mine."
"If he can't even handle these things properly, then he has absolutely no right to steal the fate of my Li Yang Dynasty."
Although Zhang Julu was also somewhat worried, he had no choice but to lie to the emperor in order to alleviate his concerns.
After hearing these words, Emperor Zhao Li felt somewhat helpless.
Yes, what Zhang Julu said is not untrue.
At the time, he did indeed make that decision.
Now, getting him back might not be so easy after all.
"Alright, what's done is done. Things have already come to this point, so let's just let nature take its course."
"We may not have any good way to quell this matter."
Emperor Zhao Li of Liyang sighed softly from above and then spoke.
After inquiring whether there was anything else, the civil and military officials naturally remained silent.
The Liyang Dynasty is now in a precarious state. Even though Emperor Zhao Li has many talented people and countless civil and military officials under his command, the situation is still quite dire.
However, under these circumstances, if a conflict were to actually occur with the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm, he wouldn't be very confident that he could ensure the continued glory of the Li Yang Dynasty.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you may all go and rest."
After saying this, Emperor Zhao Li left the dragon throne and walked towards the back.
Those civil and military officials simply retired from the court.
"Your Excellency, what is your opinion on this matter?"
After the civil and military officials left the court, an official suddenly came up to Zhang Julu and asked with some doubt.
Zhang Ji stopped abruptly in Julu, looked at the official in front of him, and felt somewhat annoyed.
I probably don't have a good decision to make about this matter.
You should know that the young eunuch was not his subordinate at all.
Under such circumstances, how could he possibly follow my arrangements?
Although they were all so worried, Zhang Julu also believed that the young eunuch might have his own plans.
Under these circumstances, his strength might be much greater than mine.
"Lord Wang, in this matter, everything must be left to the will of Heaven."
"Although my Li Yang Dynasty is prosperous, you expect me to make any rash judgments under these circumstances."
"Perhaps I don't even have that kind of ability. What do you think, Lord Wang?"
Zhang Julu did not answer Lord Wang's question directly, but instead pushed all the questions onto him.
In Zhang Julu's memory, this matter was indeed related to him.
But now that things have come to this, perhaps he has no way to control the young eunuch's movements.
"Oh dear, Your Excellency, this matter seems to be not so easy to resolve from the perspective of Xiaguan."
"You should know that the entire imperial court and martial arts world are currently in turmoil and unrest, and that young eunuch has already arrived at Wangjian Mountain."
Although he may be able to gain the trust of the Martial Saint of the Human World now, so what?
That Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm can see through the secrets of heaven; nothing in this world can escape his eyes.
Lord Wang's words carried a somewhat somber tone.
After all, in his impression, that was indeed the case; no matter what, that Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm was able to see through the secrets of heaven and everything in the world.
There is probably no possibility or chance of deceiving this martial saint.
Ye Fan, the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm, didn't care about arguing with the young eunuch.
If the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm truly knew the young eunuch's motives—to sever his imperial destiny and break the Golden Dragon Egg—then...
It was clear that the young eunuch already regarded that martial saint as a mortal enemy.
In that case, how could they possibly allow this young eunuch to leave Wangjian Mountain so easily?
Even if that young eunuch has some skill, how much chance does he have of winning against a martial saint?
Zhang Julu could also see the gloom on Lord Wang's face.
But since things had come to this, he didn't have any good solutions.
Chapter 169 What exactly are his qualifications?
