Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Daxia Empire, capital city.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Goryeo that Cui Dongxu has agreed to the empire's plan." Fang Xiao stood behind Lin Yi, holding a folder in his hand and reporting to Lin Yihui.

"Cui Dongxu is a smart man. He knows when and what to do." Lin Yi chuckled when he heard Fang Xiao's words, and then hung the earthworm in his hand on the fishhook.

Then Lin Yi swung the rod and threw the fishing line into the pond.

This pond is an ornamental pond in the palace. There are a lot of fish in it.

It was not convenient for Lin Yi to go out during this period, so he became obsessed with this kind of activity that middle-aged men love.

Although Lin Yi feels that he is still very young.

"So where is Zheng Zaixu?" Lin Yi stared at his buoy and asked softly.

"Still the same as before, he has been saying that he can handle the affairs of Goryeo and does not want the imperial army to enter Goryeo." Fang Xiao also said softly, for fear of disturbing Lin Yi's fishing.

"Hmph, a man who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth. He really thinks he can prevent the empire from entering Goryeo?"

"Don't keep a person who can't see his place clearly."

"Let Li Xi come out and announce that Goryeo will be incorporated into the empire. At the same time, let the empire hold a press conference to inform all countries and say that the empire agrees with Li Xi's decision to incorporate Goryeo into the empire."

"At the same time, let them mention the empire's future resettlement plan for the Goryeo region and its policies for the Goryeo people. Disrupt Zheng Zaixu's military morale from within."

"Then order Mo Shoucheng, Ding Yi and the others to take their people and take over Goryeo for me. Anyone who dares to stop the empire is an enemy of the empire and will be punished with treason."

"Tell them, don't make them soft-hearted, and be tougher in disguise at this time, so that the empire can better control Goryeo."

"Yes." Fang Xiao nodded.

"So Zheng Zaixu needs to send someone to deal with him first?" Fang Xiao asked.

"Get rid of him? Why get rid of him? Someone needs to be responsible for this civil war in Goryeo."

"Since both Li Xi and Cui Dongxu have decided to give up their rights, it is impossible for the empire to push them out and make them bear the responsibility for the civil war. Therefore, Zheng Zaixu is the best candidate."

"But, Your Majesty, didn't the empire support Zheng Zaixu before? If they come out to take responsibility, wouldn't it be inappropriate for the empire?" Fang Xiao hesitated when he heard Lin Yi's words.

"You also said that that was in the past. You can't say that Zheng Zaixu made contributions to the empire in the past, which is an excuse for him to break the law in the future."

"On the contrary, I feel that it only needs good publicity to establish the image of the empire as fair and impartial."

"Just imagine, in the eyes of outsiders, Zheng Zaixu is a member of the empire, but after he breaks the law, he will also receive punishment from the empire."

"As for how to reverse the image of the empire and how to turn the black into white, you can ask the people in the Hanlin Academy. These are what they are good at."

"I understand." Fang Xiao nodded after hearing Lin Yi's words.

"Is there anything else? If you have nothing else, go ahead and do your work first. Don't disturb my fishing here." Only then did Lin Yi look back at Fang Xiao.

"Your Majesty, there is indeed one more thing." Fang Xiao looked at Lin Yi and said.

"Say, hurry up and leave, you'll scare away the fish." Lin Yi said impatiently.

"Last time someone spread rumors that the prince wanted to rebel, and my subordinates found some clues." Fang Xiao said slowly.

"Oh? Who is it?" Lin Yi became interested when he heard that Fang Xiao said that he had found the person behind the rumors about him.

"Your Majesty, the person behind the rumor is the Crown Prince and Grand Master Luo Chen." Fang Xiao said in a deep voice.

"Luo Chen? Why is it him? I don't remember any conflicts between me and him." Lin Yi frowned slightly when he heard this.

"It is probably because of the disagreement with Luo Chen's previous governing philosophy. According to our investigation, Luo Chen has always advocated civilist politics, which is the concept of aristocratic families ruling the world."

"In this concept, the people in power should be literati like them, not military men like the prince."

"At the same time, he is the prince's teacher, or he is worried that the prince will fall to the prince, thus threatening his status."

"Boring!" Lin Yi spit out one word when he heard Luo Chen's words.

Lin Yi despises people who like to fight among themselves. It is clear that the biggest threat to Daxia now is the Western countries. However, people like Luo Chen do not consider the threats from outside the empire at all, and only look at the internal territory.

Lin Yi wanted to grab Luo Chen, give them both a big slap, and then ask him what benefits he would get if Daxia fell due to internal fighting.

When Fang Xiao heard Lin Yi say he was bored, he sighed inwardly.

Because he also knew a reason, but he couldn't express it.

Because this matter is directly related to Lin Yi, Zhao Xu, Zhao Xi, and the late old prince and his wife, who are Lin Yi's parents.

This matter was so involved that Fang Xiao didn't dare to tell Lin Yi because he was worried about what Lin Yi would do if he knew about it.

As for the agents who got the news, they were all dealt with by Fang Xiao.

The reason is to worry about the news being missed and leaked.

"Okay, okay, I don't care about this anymore. Give all the information you know to your uncle and let him handle it."

In the end, Lin Yi waved his hand and asked Fang Xiao to directly hand over the found evidence to Zhao Xu.

When Fang Xiao heard Lin Yi's words, he nodded heavily, turned and left without saying anything more.

At this moment, while Fang Xiao was talking to Lin Yi about Goryeo-related matters, Zhao Xu, who was in the palace, also received a report from Wang Jinzhong.

"You mean, everything behind this was done by Luo Chen?" Zhao Xu stared at Wang Jinzhong with anger in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, according to the in-depth investigation by the people below, this matter first came from the Governor of Liangjiang."

"The Governor of Liangjiang is the person promoted by Mr. Luo, and he is a close confidant of Mr. Luo."

"According to the information we received, half a month before this incident spread, wealthy businessmen from Liangjiang sent Mr. Luo some souvenirs."

"Master Luo discussed with the wealthy businessman in the study for an hour and a half. From my perspective, it seems that Master Luo looked down on the businessman very much before, and it is impossible for him to discuss with the businessman for an hour and a half."

"After that, such offending rumors spread in Liangjiang, and the governor of Liangjiang didn't seem to be aware of the matter. He didn't take a break to stop it immediately, which made the rumors intensify."

Wang Jinzhong said softly to Zhao He.

"These are all your speculations and evidence. I want evidence!" Zhao Xu suppressed the anger in his heart and said to Wang Jinzhong.

"Your Majesty, I have asked you to go to Liangjiang to collect evidence. I think you will be able to get some key evidence soon." Wang Jinzhong lowered his head and said to Zhao Xu.

"Okay, okay, you go ahead and find the evidence as soon as possible!" Zhao Xu waved his hand impatiently to Wang Jinzhong before leaning back on the chair.
