    Sheng Yuan Empire.  Tianjing City, Qinzheng Hall.

    　　 "When will the Shenwu Legion invade the Mowu Continent? Is everything ready?" The emperor of the empire asked all the officials standing on the steps while flipping through the documents on the imperial case.

    　　"Returning to Your Majesty, I received the military letter from Marshal Yunyi yesterday. The army will formally send troops to the west to conquer Mowu in half a month. As for the supply of food and salaries—" the prime minister of the empire said: "I still have to ask  Minister of War."

    　　The tall and burly minister of military affairs, the Duke of Yunhan, is the father of Yunyi.  Ten years ago, after the former Minister of Military Affairs was beheaded by Yunyi, in order to ensure the timely supply of military supplies for the army at that time, the emperor simply promoted the Duke of Hanhan as Minister of Military Affairs——He can’t cheat his son, can he?

    　　The Duke of Hanhan took a step forward and said: "Prince Xia Qin used the two provinces of Yaoyue and Qingri as the logistics supply grounds of the Shenwu Army.  They are all directly used as the military supplies of the Shenwu Legion. Therefore, there is no danger of the Shenwu Legion being backed up, and your Majesty has always been aware of these."

    　　The emperor nodded: "It was still my uncle who was wise enough to manage the Shenwu Legion and the two provinces in an orderly manner, ensuring the stability of the front line in western Xinjiang, and putting us in a favorable situation where we can attack and defend. He is really a minister of the country  Ah! What hurts me is that God will not leave him with a limited lifespan"

    　　All the most senior officials of the Shengyuan Empire have experienced ups and downs in the political arena for many years, and they have been in charge of government affairs.  Seeing the emperor reminiscing about Prince Xia Qin, he sang praises and flattered him in a hurry.

    　　Prime Minister Su Rong said: "Prince Xia Qin is indeed the pillar of the country, his talents are unrivaled in the world, and he has made great achievements in governing the western border. Everything is well-organized and well-arranged. Now due to the needs of the situation, the war broke out,  His Majesty ordered that in such a short period of time, the army was assembled immediately, the food and salaries were allocated in a timely manner, and the supply of equipment was not lackingit is really impossible! The current Duke of Yunyi has completely enjoyed the achievements of Prince Xia Qin for ten years.  It's really a blessing."

    　　 All the ministers could not help but secretly admire the Prime Minister's praise: he praised Prince Xia Qin more than the sky, and flattered the emperor; by the way, he also belittled the son of his political enemy as low as the earth, ruthlessly  He has dealt a severe blow to his political opponents, he is really old and spicy, and he has given the Yunhan family a bad medicine without making a sound.

    　　All the ministers did not want to get involved in the troubled waters of the fight between the two, they only echoed one after another, praising the achievements of Prince Xia Qin, and did not make much judgment on Duke Yunyi.  Only the minister of state affairs echoed the opinion of the prime minister.

    　　The Minister of Military Affairs couldn't help being annoyed: Well, you Dan Zhuo, you are so insidious, you allude to my son's incompetence, it's really not so bad, —— what does the discord between us have to do with my son?

    　　The emperor smiled, and said implicitly: "For ten years, Marshal Yunyi has worked hard in the affairs of the king, and he has made great contributions to governing the western Xinjiang. All the ministers and workers should not talk too much."  Multilingual.

    　　Military Minister won the victory, let out a sigh of relief, but did not dare to delay the business, said: "Your Majesty, now that the Shenwu Legion is pouring out of the city, the veteran thinks that we must worry about the future. If the battle goes well, there is no doubt about everything; but if things happen  There will be repetitions, and we better be ready now."

    　　The emperor looked solemn, got up and paced, and said: "Go on."

    　　Military Affairs Minister said: "The veteran thought that the grain and grass that had been stockpiled in Tianzhu City had been transported to Tianque City so that the Shenwu Army could be replenished at any time; at the same time, it was ordered that this year's grain and tax collection in the Western Fairview Plain does not have to go to the Eastern Fairview Plain.  Just supply the Shenwu Legion directly. The two major provinces can supply 400,000 troops, which is acceptable in peacetime, but in war, it is very difficult, and there is no remaining.  What to do. Moreover, the war will inevitably reduce the number of troops. You can order the western Jinxiu Plain to take out one out of five, organize it into a guerrilla army, and send the officers to train. If the Shenwu Legion is short of soldiers, it can be replenished immediately. It does not need to be thousands of miles away.  Go. In this way, no matter whether the Shenwu Legion wins or loses, they will not be stretched and panicked."

    　　The emperor nodded in admiration and said: "The Minister of Military Affairs is indeed a model of pragmatic planning for the country. I have never thought of these things. He has already thought ahead of me. All the ministers, you still need to follow suit."

    　　Prime Minister, Minister of Government Affairs, etc., Qi pouted secretly: The marshal of the Shenwu Legion is his own son, can he not be dedicated?

    Seeing for a long time that the emperor had no intention to mobilize troops, the prime minister couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I don't know when the Yuanwu Army from Tianlao City will be transferred to Tianque City?"

    　　The emperor shook his head and said: "It is enough to have the Shenwu Army, and there is no need to mobilize Yuanwu. The Yuanwu Army is related to the safety of the city's defenses in Tianlao City, so it should not be moved lightly."

    &God, my first task is to let my people live in prosperity and well-being, without being disturbed by wars, famines, and plagues.  Only on the basis of ensuring this, can I accept the decree of the Protoss and do what the Protoss wants us to do.  If the oracle wants me to disregard the stability and safety of my people, start a war on my own initiative, and bring them pain and disaster, then I will not accept it.  Because as the emperor of the empire, on my shoulders are the lives and hopes, happiness and future of the 80 million people of the empire!  ——How dare I take it lightly?  However, how many people can understand my painstaking efforts?  The ministers of the court, the whole country and the people, together with you, regard the oracle as the highest, and no one thinks of this, this, this really makes my heart cold"

    　　Military minister's blood rushed straight to his head, his emotions surged violently, he could hardly restrain himself, he knelt down, kowtowed, and said loudly with sobs: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my ignorance. From now on, the old minister, and  The old minister’s family is willing to be His Majesty’s pawn, regard the interests of our empire above all else, and do their best for the prosperity of our Shengyuan Empire! Even if you violate the laws of the gods and suffer great disasters, you will never regret it!”

    　　The emperor was greatly moved. In a country where gods are above everything else, such a confession is tantamount to violating faith and can be sent to the gallows.  He leaned over to help the Minister of Military Affairs himself, and couldn't help but his eye sockets were a little bit astringent, and said flatly: "I accept Aiqing's loyalty, and thank you very much."

    　　The Minister of Military Affairs stood up, and after a long time, he gathered his excited thoughts, and then remembered something, and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has recently discovered that the Prime Minister and the Government Affairs Lord seem to be too close and have a close relationship. The Prime Minister seems to have too much power  , have you considered giving a cut?"

    　　The emperor shook his head and said: "You are overthinking. The Dan family of the prime minister, as well as your Qu family, are the oldest families in our empire. Although the prime minister's belief is very strong, his loyalty to the empire cannot be tolerated."  Doubtful. We have to explain the truth to him slowly, present the facts, make him understand, and finally invest in our side; we can’t ignore him just because he has a problem with his belief.”

    　　The Minister of Military Affairs was very disapproving, but he stopped talking, lest the emperor think that he was fighting for power and profit, and took the opportunity to attack his political opponents.

    　　The emperor nodded in satisfaction, continued the topic just now, and said: "Just like this time, why didn't I obey the oracle and send 500,000 troops to invade Mowu? There are many considerations. First,  The stability of the empire and the stability and prosperity of the people are the top priorities of government affairs. No matter what the reason is, they must not be shaken. However, with large-scale wars, it is bound to be difficult to guarantee; secondly, Mowu Kingdom is located in a barren wilderness, a desolate place  , the land is barren, and the people are aggressive and hard to control. Even if we destroy the Mowu Kingdom, what benefits will there be besides adding a heavy burden to tens of millions of Mowu people and lowering the living standards of our people? But I  It is also impossible to turn a blind eye to the oracle, so we can only adopt a compromise method to control the scale of the war within an acceptable range that does not affect the stability of our empire and the stability of our people."

    　　Like enlightenment, the Minister of Military Affairs suddenly realized, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty's sacred heart is unique, and his insight is far beyond the imagination of an old minister."

    　　Hearing such admiration and admiration from the bottom of his heart, the emperor, who already had a high self-esteem, couldn't help but feel a little proud, and continued: "Destroying the Mowu Kingdom will not benefit our empire, but neither will we.  We can let them grow up, which in turn poses a threat to us, so it is also beneficial to fight from time to time——but the speed must be controlled. Generally speaking, our Shengyuan is dealing with the problems of the Mowu Kingdom  The policy is to drag them down as much as possible on the premise of not destroying the Mowu Kingdom. The soldiers and people of the Mowu Kingdom are poor, the resources are poor, and the national power is poor. We start a war from time to time to consume their national strength, making them  They will never be able to pose a threat to the empire, that's enough. As the lord of the empire, I only need my people to live well, not so noble, and I also need to find a way out for the people of Mowu Kingdom and save them from fire and water,—  They chose the road back then, and if there is a cause, there will be an effect! Of course, if there are people who surrender, we will accept and welcome them."

    　　 "Your Majesty, the old minister fully understands your painstaking efforts!" Duke Yunhan bowed, tears welling up in his eyes.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
