    ?

    A tall figure walked out from behind the screen in the hall, but it was the eldest son of the prime minister, Viscount Lengchuan.

    "Father, isn't it too cruel for you to treat brother Wuni and Earl Liyuan like this?" Leng Chuan asked puzzled.

    "Cruel? I'm afraid it's not strong enough." The prime minister said casually without opening his slightly closed eyes.

    "Father, although Brother Wuni disobeyed His Majesty's will, the crime will not last ten years. Wouldn't he be ruined for the rest of his life?" Leng Chuan said dissatisfied.

    The prime minister shook his head and said: "About him, you don't need to intercede. It is already a great grace not to sentence him to death. You, you should think about yourself. You will never be as sensitive as your younger brother when it comes to politics.  If you were him, you wouldn't ask such a stupid question. Are you not convinced? Then let me ask you, the princess has been in charge of state affairs for more than ten days, and the government officials who wantonly demoted and killed, what do they all have in common?  "

    "Common characteristics?" Leng Chuan thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head in confusion.

    The Prime Minister opened his eyes and said with a smile: "It is indeed not your specialty to talk about political affairs. Forget it, let's discuss military affairs——that is not my and your brother's specialty. Well, don't get tired of it."  Worried, can I still abandon him? Throwing him to prison is to prevent him from going further on the road to death, and to let him reflect on himself. Now the new round of war between Shengyuan and Mowu, seeing  If there is another outbreak, then there will be a shortage of military generals, and when the overall situation is settled, it is not a matter of one sentence to release him from his post?"

    Leng Chuan suddenly realized, and finally felt relieved for his brother, and looked at his father with admiration. In his eyes, although his father was old, he seemed like a giant who would never fall down.

    The Prime Minister sighed and said: "I am old, and I have few days left. Now I am living for your descendants, just to continue and pass on the glory of our Leng family. Can our family continue to dominate the empire?"  If the political arena continues to be so prosperous, it is entirely up to you brothers."

    "Father, I will definitely not disappoint you." Leng Chuan raised his head and said firmly.

    The Prime Minister nodded with satisfaction: "You are in charge of military affairs, and Leng He is in charge of political affairs. I am naturally very relieved that you two are paired up. Now let me ask you, what do you think the outcome will be for the two His Highnesses to go to war this time?"  Is there any chance of winning?"

    "Now the army of the Shengyuan Empire is about to invade the territory of Mowu Kingdom. After several months of emergency preparations, the Shengyuan army can be said to be strong and strong, with sufficient food and grass, and well-prepared.  On the border, there is little chance of winning by working hard, and it is almost a disaster. In the territory of our Mowu Kingdom, 600 miles west of the border, there is a solid city, which is invaded by our Mowu Kingdom.  The road that must be passed was built as an addition when the fifth generation of the Demon King of the Mowu Kingdom excavated the Tianshan Road along the Luoxing Mountain. Although it is not a large city, it is very comparable to the first-class Digu City and Difeng City.  It is not as good as it is, but the defense system is complete and the city wall is also very strong. What is even more rare is that the city is surrounded by the remaining Luoxing Mountains in the west and the river in the east. Only the south wall faces the enemy.  It is very easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it hadn’t been for His Royal Highness Xijing’s plan to lure the enemy into the depths ten years ago, he had given up the Dijian City in vain, making it useless at all. Otherwise, how could the Holy Yuan Army have invaded the hinterland of our Mowu Kingdom?  Show off your might? If the two Highnesses are smart enough this time, concentrate their forces and hold on to the city, while dispatching elite cavalry to sneak attack and harass the logistics supply line of the Saint Yuan Army.  Difficulties, when you finally have no choice but to retreat, and then send out all the troops, and then cover up and chase them, it will be easy, and you will surely win a complete victory. The invasion of the Shengyuan army, just like our invasion of the Shengyuan Empire, has a fatal weakness, which is logistics  Supplies are difficult——it is extremely difficult to transport grain for thousands of miles. My Mowu Kingdom has invaded the Shengyuan Empire nearly 200 times in the past thousand years, and at least half of them have returned without success because of insufficient food and grass.  When it comes to military affairs, Leng Chuan is immediately full of confidence, talking eloquently and non-stop.

    The prime minister listened carefully, nodded and said: "This is your tactic, but your highness, do you think it can be as smart as you said?"

    Leng Chuan said disdainfully: "The two idiots also want to win military merit? Is military merit so easy?"

    The Prime Minister's complexion changed, and he asked doubtfully, "Could it be that you don't like the two Highnesses?"

    Leng Chuan said decisively: "It's not that I don't like it, I don't like it at all. Father, you don't know anything about military matters. Although the army led by your two Highnesses is the vulture and Tianlei among the five main armies, the two big  The legion has been infiltrated by their forces for ten years. The troops are all private armed forces recruited from their territory, and the officers are all attached to them.Slightly raised his head, his eyes with deep meaning immediately met the eyes of Princess Jingluan who knew her heart well.  Both of them moved away at the touch of a touch, but they both saw through each other's mind in an instant.

    At this moment, Jingluan completely believed her father's comments on the Prime Minister, and she had confidence in her heart, and said with a smile: "A few days ago, I accidentally looked through the roster of military officers in service. Aiqing's eldest son, Viscount Lengchuan, is now  The legion serves as the deputy head of the legion. ——If I remember correctly, Viscount Lengchuan served as the personal bodyguard of His Royal Highness Xijing ten years ago. He accompanied His Highness on an expedition to the Shengyuan Empire. He once protected His Highness with his body and blood—my  Brother! At that time, he was already the title of Viscount, but why hasn't he been promoted for ten years?"

    "Princess has a good memory." The Prime Minister said in a neutral manner, "The Demon Emperor once wanted to reward him with a title, but the old minister shirked it. After all, the war ten years ago was not our army's victory"

    Jingluan nodded in admiration, and said: "Aiqing is strict with self-discipline, he is really a model for all the officials. But if a loyal and talented person like Viscount Lengchuan is not reused, it is really a loss for the entire empire  A few days ago, I received a report that Marquis Yanzhan, the head of the Violent Bear Legion, had just died of illness not long ago—the Prime Minister must know about this matter?"

    The Prime Minister said regretfully: "The Marquis of Yanzhan is a military master of the older generation, and he can be called a famous general of our Mowu generation. Now our Mowu Kingdom has lost another pillar. It is really a pity. It is a pity. The old minister is heartbroken when he learns about it."

    Jingluan nodded, and said: "In my opinion, the promotion of Viscount Lengchuan to Marquis will actually fill the position of the head of the Violent Bear Army——Lengchuan, who used to be the guard of the Third Highness, I think he will definitely be able to inherit the will of His Highness and be qualified for the post.  This job."

    The prime minister was taken aback, he didn't expect that the reward from the princess was so heavy, even if Lengchuan was promoted to Marquis, he had expected such consolation for his righteous death of relatives;  The head of the Violent Bear Legion, one of the five main armies of the empire——this is no ordinary favor!  The Prime Minister hurriedly knelt down to thank Her Majesty, and said in a trembling voice: "The old minister thanked Her Majesty the Princess on behalf of the dog, and I, the Leng family, would like to be smashed to pieces to repay Your Majesty and Her Majesty the Princess's long grace."

    Seeing the prime minister's sincere and fearful expression, Jingluan couldn't help but secretly felt very proud of her move that hit the key point, and said: "Aiqing is flat, since Earl Liyuan bestowed death, then in Aiqing's opinion, the vacant person in charge  Who should be the adjutant of military supplies for the money?"

    The prime minister thought for a while, and there was really no suitable candidate for a while, and said: "Please let the old minister resign, go back and carefully consider the candidate, and I will definitely give the princess an answer tomorrow at the latest."

    Jingluan waved her hands and smiled slightly: "Don't bother Aiqing, I already have someone to choose."

    "The princess made it clear that the talents selected by the princess will definitely be qualified for this position." The prime minister said respectfully.  This is definitely not a lie, this position does not really need honest subjects, but loyal subjects, especially loyal to the princess.

    "My deputy chief of guards, Baron Lenghe, I just had an in-depth discussion with him today, and I found that he is really a rare government minister, so I decided to promote him to the earl and take up the post of adjutant of military supplies.  What do you think about practicing for future reuse?" Jingluan said with a smile.

    The prime minister opened his mouth wide, raised his head suddenly, and quickly glanced at the princess sitting on it, then took a solemn step forward, bowed solemnly in front of the princess, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness uses the old minister's two dogs so much, the old minister's family,  All I can do is to serve the country with all my might, to serve His Royal Highness, and then to die!"

    Waiting until the Prime Minister finished his oath of allegiance, Jingluan smiled lightly, and then ordered the maid to help the Prime Minister up, saying: "Aiqing's family, 'Double Cranes in the Court', is really a great thing, and it is also my magic weapon.  Fortunately for the country, this palace is just pushing the boat along the way, and Aiqing doesn't have to be like this. Well, Aiqing is also tired, so let's step down." (Remember this website website: www.hlnovel.com
