Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 6537

: Two Conditions

He mainly elaborated on the possible terrible things that might happen after Emperor Yu went berserk, and Tai Yu’s ambition to restore the ancient times.

“Li Tianming, you said that Emperor Yu might enter the realm of Yuanshi Zhoushen. Do you have any evidence?” Bai Xingyun asked. He was the first person to speak after Li Tianming entered the Wanhao Palace, except for her and the Empress.

“No.” Li Tianming shook his head, and then said: “But, given the current situation, if he dares to move, it will prove this point.”

“Then has he moved?” Bai Xingyun asked.

“Not yet.” Li Tianming said honestly.

“Then what do you have to convince us to unite?” Bai Xingyun asked.

“Because it will be too late to unite after he moves.” Li Tianming smiled at him.

“What nonsense…”

Before Bai Xingyun finished his words, the Yuanhao Empress looked at him. He paused, then closed his mouth, casually changed back to a smile, looked at Li Tianming, and said nothing more.

Li Tianming’s gaze fell on Empress Yuanhao again, and he said, “Your Majesty, I represent myself more. Now Emperor Yu is determined to put me to death, and I still have so many powerful hostages in my hands. So from my point of view, I hope Yuanhao and Wan’e Mengyuan can help me to get rid of Emperor Yu, this unstable factor, and let our three major lands return to peace!”

“Why?” Empress Yuanhao looked at Li Tianming, “What if he is only targeting you, and after he takes you down, he will be honest?”

After saying that, she smiled slightly, “It’s not that I’m arguing, but I also need to give an explanation to the ministers and the people of Dawn. War is not an easy thing.”

“Your Majesty, the Eighteenth Princess is dead, the Eldest Prince is old, and the Nineteenth Prince can’t wait. Emperor Yu dragged it until today in order to have the greatest chance of recovering Taiyu, but now his greatest reliance, the Eighteenth Princess, is gone. You can imagine that this crazy guy has no way out.” Li Tianming said slowly.

When the Eighteenth Princess was mentioned, the eyes of the Yuanhao officials finally became somewhat convinced. Obviously, they also knew the significance of such a “heir” to Emperor Yu.

Silence lasted for a while.

Li Tianming looked at the Yuanhao Empress with a burning gaze, without retreating.

After a while, the Yuanhao Empress suddenly nodded and said, “Okay, I agree to unite with you and the Evil Dream Source, but I have two conditions.”

It is normal to have conditions, at least there is something to talk about, so Li Tianming immediately said, “Please speak, Your Majesty.”

The Yuanhao Empress also spoke directly, saying, “The first condition is for you.”

“Yes.” Li Tianming nodded and listened.

The Yuanhao Empress said directly, “Empty words are not enough. I also need to explain to the people and officials that I mobilized the whole country’s army for your words. Therefore, my first condition is that you must be included in my Yuanhao official register and hold an important position.”

For Li Tianming, this was not a condition at all. After all, he also had an official position in Taiyu, and it was a fifth-rank official. The people didn’t know that he and Taiyu had fallen out. The other party was just pulling a thread to make him one of Yuan Hao’s own people.

Moreover, Li Tianming was also very straightforward. If Yuan Hao treated him well, he would not treat Yuan Hao badly. Whether he was included in the official register or not, it actually made no difference to him. If Yuan Hao treated him well, he could treat Yuan Hao well without this official register.

“Please appoint me, Your Majesty!” Li Tianming said sincerely.

Empress Yuan Hao did not appoint me directly, but looked at Li Tianming deeply and said, “I want to appoint you as the Left Prime Minister of Yuan Hao, with a first-rank official rank, to lead important political affairs.”

When these words came out, not only Li Tianming was stunned, but the faces of other high-ranking Yuan Hao officials present were all frozen, as if they couldn’t believe their ears.

“First-rank official rank?” Before Li Tianming came, he knew that Empress Yuan Hao would use this formal appointment to strengthen the relationship between the two sides, but he didn’t expect that she would directly appoint Li Tianming to the first-rank official rank, and to be the Left Prime Minister!

Bai Xingyun relied on his family background, his own strength, and countless achievements to achieve the position of right prime minister. As a result, Li Tianming, a child without roots and without any help, became the left prime minister. Is this reasonable?

Li Tianming himself felt that it was unreasonable. He was still a fifth-rank official even though he had made great contributions in the Tianming Defense Line in Taiyu. This was already an exaggeration.

And are the first-rank official and the fifth-rank official the same concept?

The first-rank official is already the pinnacle of non-family members. No non-family members in Taiyu can reach the second-rank official. And the systems of Taiyu and Yuanhao are essentially the same.

“This is incredible. This is more impressive than being a son-in-law. With this appointment, he has become Yuanhao’s own man, and Wanye Mengyuan has become your second choice!” Even Yinghuo understood this truth, and so did the others.

Therefore, Li Tianming himself underestimated Empress Yuanhao’s appreciation of him at the beginning. He really thought that she was considering the masses at the beginning. As a result, this appointment did not consider the people and the ministers’ ideas at all, and directly pulled Li Tianming into her own.

After saying this, Empress Yuanhao glanced around, especially looked at Bai Xingyun heavily, and suppressed his words directly.

“Li Tianming, the left prime minister is an important responsibility of Yuanhao. Are you willing? If you are willing, I will do my best to protect you.” Empress Yuanhao said another word, and directly blocked the words of the ministers.

For Li Tianming, this is a good thing.

It is obvious that Yuanhao and Taiyu have very different attitudes towards him.

Although he knew that once he agreed, it would inevitably lead to a surge in the difficulty of the second condition, but without the first condition, the alliance could not be achieved, so he could only follow the arrangement of Empress Yuanhao.

“Thank you for your grace!”

Li Tianming agreed directly.

The whole Wanhao Palace was dead silent.

The empress finally smiled. She was very satisfied and nodded, saying, “In that case, I welcome Yuan Hao’s new left prime minister! I will hold a ceremony for you to be awarded the title outside the imperial court!”

Li Tianming could only thank him again and say that he would live up to everyone’s expectations.

As for the others, seeing that the matter was settled, they could only think about the significance of what the empress Yuan Hao did. Such a high official was undoubtedly a heavyweight.

However, Li Tianming was not relieved yet. He waited for the empress Yuan Hao to finish speaking, and then asked, “Your Majesty, what is the second condition you mentioned before?”

The empress Yuan Hao smiled slightly and said, “This condition is for the three wardens of Wan Evil Dream Source.”

“Please make it clear, Your Majesty, I will convey the message.” Li Tianming said.

“It’s not complicated.” The empress Yuan Hao paused, then looked deeply at Li Tianming, “In this battle, I, Yuan Hao, will go all out, and there will be huge losses. Therefore, I need the entire territory of Taiyu to repay the people… Tianming, you are my left prime minister, what do you think of this condition?”
