Chapter 752: Chapter 170: Top Secret! Affairs of the Western Continent (Part 4)

However, Lou Hongtao didn’t elaborate, and Li Fei didn’t ask further.

He thanked Lou Hongtao, then got up and left…

Early the next morning.

Someone from the palace arrived, it was the Imperial Eunuch Feng Cheng.

Lou Hongtao and Li Fei went to greet him.

Outside the main gate of the Monitoring Pavilion headquarters, Feng Cheng stood quietly, with a team of Forbidden Army in golden armor and a formidable aura behind him.

The leader was a commander of the Forbidden Army, with Martial Arts Master level cultivation!

“Eunuch Feng.”

Lou Hongtao and Li Fei stepped out of the gate and saluted Feng Cheng.

Feng Cheng returned the salute: “Greetings to Lord Lou, Marquis Jing’an.”

“His Majesty has decreed that I hand over a team of Forbidden Army to Pavilion Master Lou, and they will assist Pavilion Master Lou in guarding prisoners.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Lou Hongtao saluted.

It’s just the transfer of a team of Forbidden Army, no need for Feng Cheng, the Chief Steward, to personally come.

So the point was still a matter of gesture.

Feng Cheng looked at Li Fei, smiling: “Marquis Jing’an, His Majesty summons you to the palace.”

Li Fei was startled.

He had been applying for so long to enter the palace to see the Emperor, and today it finally happened.

Later, Li Fei and Feng Cheng rode together to the Imperial Palace.

The car drove into the Imperial City, unimpeded, deep into the palace.

Afterwards, the two got out of the car, and Feng Cheng led Li Fei towards a palace.

Li Fei noticed this path was not towards the Imperial Study Room, and couldn’t help but ask softly:

“Eunuch Feng, may I ask where His Majesty will meet me?”

Feng Cheng turned around, still smiling:

“At the Yangxin Hall.”

Li Fei suddenly understood.

Zhenglan Hall is where the grand imperial assemblies are held, while Yangxin Hall is for ‘small assemblies’.

Usually, the Emperor meets with important ministers to discuss matters at the Yangxin Hall.

Compared to the Imperial Study Room, the Yangxin Hall is much more formal.

In the past, when Li Fei was summoned, it was in the Imperial Study Room, now it’s changed to the Yangxin Hall.

The meaning of this change, he couldn’t help but ponder deeply.

Soon, Li Fei was led into a palace.

Compared to the grandeur of Zhenglan Hall, this palace was more exquisite and elegant, not as large in size.

Within the palace, at the main seat in the front, sat the Emperor in a dragon robe.

To the left and right, there were rows of seats, with no Red Steps, significantly closing the distance between the Emperor and his ministers.

At this moment, there was one person seated on each side:

Ye Ze’an and Wenren Zheng.

One is the head of the Civil Servants, the other is an ultimate general; both are National Pillars of the Empire!

Li Fei was taken aback for a moment, he originally thought today would be a private audience with the Emperor, unexpectedly the scale was so ‘top-tier’.

“Minister, pay respects to Your Majesty.”

Li Fei strode into the hall, saluting the Emperor at the front.

“No need for ceremony, sit down.”

The Emperor’s expression appeared very calm, his tone neither warm nor cold.

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Li Fei walked to the left and sat beside Ye Ze’an.

This Grand Secretary, who had played three games of chess with him not long ago, was staring straight ahead, without glancing at Li Fei.

“Grand Secretary, continue.”

The Emperor said.

Evidently, before Li Fei arrived, the three were already discussing matters.

Ye Ze’an spoke slowly, discussing the matter of the Blue Patrol Pavilion:

“Representatives from twenty-three provinces have all arrived in the Capital, the identities of advisers from each place have been confirmed….”

Li Fei listened quietly at the side.

Today is already February 27th, the day after tomorrow is March 1st, which is the first public voting day for the Blue Patrol Pavilion.

From Ye Ze’an’s introduction, Li Fei learned that the voting in two days would be conducted nationally through a television broadcast.

Previously, the national Martial Arts Exchange Tournament was telecast once nationwide, the upcoming Blue Patrol Pavilion voting will be the second.

At that time, live broadcast venues will be set up everywhere, and the advisers participating in the voting will cast their votes in front of the entire nation, live on television!
