In a side hall of the Imperial Palace.
"Tomorrow is the third year!"
Jiang Ming stood under a phoenix tree, deep in thought.
By now, it had been a long time since he killed the Crown Prince. On that day, he killed two Grandmasters with overwhelming power, forcing everyone else to submit. Chen Yu, another Grandmaster, even expressed his allegiance.
He then assisted the Ninth Princess in a bloody purge of the palace, suppressing the rebels and burying all those from Lengyue Palace who hadn't had a chance to act.
After stabilizing the political situation to some extent, Jiang Ming left the rest to the Ninth Princess to handle, but he also offered many suggestions.
For example, keeping tight control over the military power.
And taking advantage of the suppression of the feudal kings to cut back on their power.
As the Ninth Princess was short of manpower, Jiang Ming brought Bai Yunfei from Tianwu Manor to help, along with many elite disciples from the sect.
