My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 199 Peng Ze
"Based on the real data from the Yellow Book of the Neiku for a total of 31 years from the 120st year of Hongwu to the first year of Jiajing, we can conclude that the Ming Dynasty will accelerate its decline and demise in the next 140 to 160 years.

Apparently, a man who could subdue the world's powerful powers and expel evil earthly humans and gods has reappeared in the northern center of the Ming court. It was proved to be completely wrong. New data shows that the Ming court's internal reforms and the conquest of surrounding alien races even ended in defeat. Even though Shi Wei is over, he can still maintain his destiny for nearly 300 years——"

She looked around. The cardinals beside her were obviously amazed after hearing such a result, and they immediately whispered to each other and started talking among themselves.

Obviously, if the Ming Dynasty still has the destiny for nearly 300 years, then as these extraterrestrial parasites that are parasitic on the Ming Dynasty system, many of their previous attempts to change their appearance and invest in the forces qualified to compete for the destiny must have Slowed down.

Even in order to avoid offending the Ming court and affecting the development of their power within the Ming Dynasty, they had to take the initiative to cut off ties with certain forces outside the country to please the Ming court.

"Is it true?"

An old voice sounded from the black-robed cardinal first on Yang Yiqing's left hand.

This is an old man who cannot get any older.

The hair that was vaguely exposed from the hood was silvery white, and the arms exposed outside the sleeves were dry, like dead wood that had been dead for hundreds of years.

Even the voice was so hoarse, obscure, and low—like a dull knife sawing wood.

Yang Yiqing also looked at the female star official. Regarding the fate of Mingting, he was also extremely concerned about it.

"It's absolutely true - after getting this result, I ordered the official in charge of the yellow book to calculate it several times. Only after confirming that it was correct did I dare to submit it to the chief."

The female Xue Xingguan replied.

Facing this living historical fossil in front of her who had witnessed the Mongolian cavalry crushing the eternal dreams of the Song royal court, she did not dare to show any slights.

After all, her body was just like most people's and had never experienced the troubles of the late Yuan Dynasty.

Not to mention the longer and more tragic Yashan naval battle, and the tragic but majestic Diaoyu City standing under the iron heel of Mongolia.

"very good--"

The chief's answer was still difficult, but unexpectedly revealed a sense of joy.

A stable environment is undoubtedly more conducive to the development and growth of the Privy Council.

"But if the Ming court cannot stop the Hai Clan army at the quarry, once the sharks complete the ceremony, the road to Nanjing will be completely unblocked. If we turn to the Ming court now, then how can we guarantee the Privy Council's century-old hard work in Jinling? Will the accumulation be destroyed by these sharks?"

Zhang Jin looked at the excited people, a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes, and continued to raise objections.

After hearing his words, all the Privy Councilors present could not help but fell silent.

The Ming Dynasty may still have hundreds of years left, but the crisis at hand is real. If those sea tribes find that they and others are on the side of the Ming Dynasty, they will obviously not continue to follow the non-intrusion policy from the Yongle era. of the agreement.

"No need to worry about that -"

At this time, the old man was so old that any movement became extremely dangerous to him, because any slight collision seemed to break all the bones in his body.

He said in a low voice.

"Even if they do capture Caishi, Taizu's original arrangement in Xiaoling is still effective. You don't need to worry too much about the direct threat of force from the sharks to Jinling."

"Let the voting begin now! Regarding whether the Privy Council should side with the Ming court or the sharks -"

With the previous sentence, the chief's attitude is obviously obvious.Although many of the more than 20 Privy Council members in the field were still hesitant and chose to abstain, after receiving the assurance from the Chief Privy Council, the arms of the Ming court supporters who supported the sharks were clearly surpassed.

Yang Yiqing couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lucky, lucky...

Otherwise, today's prosperous Jinling, which has been peaceful for a long time, will inevitably end up with another bloodshed.

"Then from now on, open the dragon veins of Xiaoling and order the warlocks of the Observatory to monitor the river mouth at all times. Once it is discovered that the Sea Dragon King has any momentum to enter Nanjing, he will immediately awaken the dragon veins to attack him."

The chief ordered, and looking at the people in front of him who silently agreed to the Privy Council's final decision, Yang Yiqing took the opportunity to stand up. The old man who looked like a dead tree beside him didn't seem to be surprised by his actions, and even took the initiative to stand up and give up his position.

"Everyone... Since we are all loyal ministers of the Emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, I will not hide some things from you."

People listened to Yang Yiqing's words with doubts on their faces. Some people seemed to have thought of something and suddenly looked behind them.

As Yang Yiqing finished speaking, a burst of slow and steady footsteps came from the dark and deep underground secret passage outside the door.

The leader of the old man was familiar to many people present. After all, most of these officials in Nanjing had also held positions in Beijing. The man in front of him was famous during the Zhengde period, but unfortunately he was too close to Yang Tinghe.

When he was still in Zhengde, he had a big quarrel with Wang Qiong, a member of the current cabinet, because of his position as Minister of War. He also had a quarrel with Liang Chu, the current chief assistant, because of the candidate for the chief assistant position that Yang Tinghe left behind because he returned home in mourning. Very unpleasant.

It would be extremely difficult for such a person to make a comeback in the Jiajing Dynasty.

What's more, he also carries the irremovable black material of bribing barbarians and delivering false information to the court.

This little emperor who should have been punished for his flaws by the current reigning emperor was whipped into the trash heap on the spot and never hired again.

Now he walked into Nanjing so openly.

The most secretive underground labyrinth of the Forbidden City also appeared.

"Peng Ze—"

The chief's eyes glowed in his hood.

Yang Yiqing felt a little dazzled and quickly covered it with his sleeves.

"Master Jia, you are well—Peng is back again."

The old man in front of him had a rosy complexion and a high-spirited look. He walked with a vigorous pace, and it was impossible to tell that he was nearly seventy.

As for the secret society in Jinling City in front of us, it was modeled after the Privy Council of the Southern Song Dynasty. It has an underground organization with the participation of many high-ranking officials in Jinling.

This battle-hardened veteran did not show any surprise.

Obviously, for veterans like them, the power that controls such an important key node of the empire in Nanjing is no secret in their eyes.

During the Zhengde period, this old imperial official who led troops outside all year round and was invincible in battles - Yu Shi... ah no, today's Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty -

In order to let the old man work well for him, one of Zhu Houcong's edicts to Wang Zuo asked him to return to Beijing next year and take up the post of Minister of War.
