Zhan Yue - Chapter 1396

[Chapter 1396 arrogance]

He got up and swept straight towards the palace.

…

My arrival triggered a discussion in the court hall. The new emperor Xuanyuan Li was high above, and he sat firmly on the dragon chair. Not far from the side was the seat where Bai Yiqing did not hear the wind. This seat was lower than before, and there was no wind. After hearing the loss of his cultivation base, his body seemed to have been attacked by the Great Dao, and he looked ill. The seat was placed too high, which would easily make him more laborious.

Under the golden rank, the civil and military officials are separated on both sides. On the one side of the civil ministers are the imperial censor, Fengchang, the minister of the Rites, and the minister of the household. Chi and the others, the top officials in the Xuanyuan Empire have basically arrived. As for the middle, there is a long table on which the southern front lines from the Xuanyuan Empire to the Daxiang Dynasty and the Changfeng Empire are made. The territory sand table of the vassal state.

“The King of Happyness is here!”

With the long announcement of the golden armored guards, the ministers on both sides turned back and bowed their hands one by one.

I nodded lightly, walked straight to the front of the line of generals, stood in front of Nangong Yi, and then clasped my fists and said, “Your Majesty, are you going to discuss something?”

“Exactly.”

Xuanyuan Li said in a deep voice: “According to Feng Xiang’s proposal, the landscape and luck of the empire and the major vassal dynasties have now been connected, and the time is gradually ripe, we just have to wait for a good day and auspicious day to select the candidates for the Shanjun roster, and we can seal them up. Xiyue.”

“Ok.”

I nodded: “This matter… It seems that it can’t be delayed.”

Feng Buwen got up and said, “Does King Xiaoyao know that a major event happened in the past two days?”

“Oh?”

I was taken aback: “What’s the matter?”

He frowned and said: “During the battle of Changfeng Empire, the throne Fan Yi lost most of his regiment, and the East Navy regiment under the swordsmith Han Ying also lost nearly half. At the same time, the Devourer, one of the thrones, was beheaded by the Lord of the Dragon Domain. The Alien Demon Legion suffered heavy losses, but just two days ago, two more thrones appeared on the East China Sea, the ancient God of War Ciel and Landro, the Wing of Demons, these two throne regiments crossed the East China Sea and arrived at Daxiang. The old site of the dynasty is now eyeing many vassal states on the west side, and if we don’t make preparations early, it is very likely that a second war will break out in a short period of time.”

“That’s right.”

Nangong also came out, clasped his fists and said, “Your Majesty, in the last expedition to Changfeng Empire, it seemed that our army had won a great victory, but in fact it was just a tragic victory. In China, the major legions of the empire have suffered huge losses, such as the Lingnan Provincial Frontier Defense Legion, which lost more than half, and the Liuhuo Legion, which suffered the smallest loss, lost at least 50,000 troops. Both troops and equipment need to be replenished. It’s the next expedition.”

“His Majesty!”

The Minister of the Household came out, holding the jade wattle in his hand and said: “The Ministry of Household has already counted, the expedition of the Changfeng Empire has consumed nearly 70% of the grain and grass in the national treasury, and now it is spring ploughing, and the people still have not harvested the grains. It is impossible for the national treasury to have more food. If there is another war, even if there are no problems with weapons, armor, equipment, etc., the food and wages will definitely not be issued. When the time comes, there will be complaints, and I am afraid that it will provoke a fight. A mutiny that could have been avoided!”

Xuanyuan Li nodded: “I know what the two adults mean.”

I frowned and didn’t speak.

At this time, a servant of the Ministry of Rites stood up and said respectfully: “Your Majesty, there have been many wars recently, and the expatriate rangers from the Department of Mountains and Seas of the Ministry of Rites have already explored the mountains and rivers all over the empire. Among them, Lingnan Province, Beihuang Province, and Far East Travel. The mountains and rivers in the province, Yunxi Province and other places are weak, far less than before. If the Nanyue Mountain Lord Mu Tiancheng continues to use his sword and uses a country’s landscape and air transport, I am afraid that the heritage of this country will soon be exhausted. Fighting again will be a game of fishing, not to mention people, the landscape of the empire will also take some time to recuperate.”

…

I frowned and looked up at the wind.

Feng Buwen just smiled and shook his head with a helpless look on his face.

“What do you mean?”

I took a few steps forward, turned around and stood at the foot of the king’s steps, and said with a smile, “Several adults mean to say… do you blame me, the King of Free and Easy, for being so ruthless?”

“I can’t wait, please, Your Highness, please enlighten me!”

The Minister of Rites hurriedly arranged.

Nangong also said: “His Royal Highness, as old officials left by the late emperor, we are all for the sake of the empire. If we offend, please forgive me, this war… It is indeed impossible to continue. If we continue to fight like this, the treasury will If it is exhausted, the lives of the people of the empire will also be exhausted, and then… how can we people be worthy of the spirit of the late emperor?”

“Ok.”

I nodded and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, everyone, as long as the alien army doesn’t take the initiative to attack, there should be no wars in the near future. As for your fear of war, I also want to remind you that it’s not that we don’t want to fight, so we don’t have to fight. Fight, we may have a place, if we don’t fight, we will inevitably be annexed by the Alien Demon Legion. Children know such a simple truth, and all adults will not understand it?”

The crowd was speechless.

The new emperor Xuanyuan Li got up and said, “Brother, let’s discuss the candidate of the Xiyue Mountain Lord?”

“good.”

I nodded: “What do you recommend?”

A soldier of the Ministry of War came out and said respectfully: “Your Majesty, I will report to King Xiaoyao, and I recommend the old Shangshu Tian Chong, who has been deceased for many years in the Ministry of War. After the old Shangshu passed away, the soul has been enshrined in the ancestral hall of the clan, There is no trace of dissipation. The old Shangshu was a general and a handsome back then. In his early years, he followed the late emperor to fight in the South and the North. He fought the Rong and Di, the Wild West, the monsters of the East China Sea, and made countless illustrious feats. It should be enough. Qualified to serve as Xiyue Mountain Lord.”

“Tian Chong…”

Feng Buwen frowned and said, “The old man has been dead for more than 20 years, right?”

“Exactly.”

“The support in the ancestral hall, I am afraid that although the soul of the boss is there, the fighting spirit of the year is no longer there.” Feng Buwen said lightly.

“Indeed.”

Nangong Chi stepped forward and said: “Besides, this Xiyue is not the Xiyue of our country, but the Xiyue that connects many vassal states. It is a long mountain that is nearly 10,000 miles long from north to south. The number, length, and breadth of the mountains are enough The foot is the sum of the other three mountains, such a huge mountain of luck, I am afraid that Mr. Tian Chong really can’t bear it.”

In the crowd, Wang Shuang, the commander of the Blazing Legion, took a step forward and said respectfully: “With all due respect, although Tian Chong once served as the imperial marshal when he was alive, many expeditions were carried out by the late emperor, and the person who really commanded the battle was the late emperor. And Tian Chong was just assisting him. Rather than saying that those exploits belonged to Tian Chong, it was better to say that they were the military exploits bestowed upon him by the late emperor. What’s more, these old battles were only small-scale battles that did not start. To expand the territory, even if Lord Tian Chong is still alive, I am afraid that his shoulders cannot bear the shoulders of Lord Xiyue Mountain.”

Wang Shuang’s personality is really straight. It’s a good thing to have such a straightforward personality, but it’s not necessarily a good thing in the courtroom. Thanks to me, I’m here, otherwise Wang Shuang’s few words may be enough. I have offended Tian Chong’s former disciples when he was alive. You must know that Tian Chong, a high-ranking official, who received his favor back then was not a single star, and may now hold important positions in various government offices.

“Ok.”

The new emperor Xuanyuanli nodded slowly, and said, “Lord Wang Shuang is right, the empire’s expansion is basically in the later period of the emperor’s reign, Tian Chong’s contribution is certainly not small, but if it is related to the Compared with Feng Xiang and brother, it is not worth mentioning.”

“In this way, the threshold is too high, and it is more difficult to choose.”

Nangong also shook his head and said, “We can’t send people from the Shanhai Division to search for the soul of the late emperor, and let the late emperor serve as this Xiyue Mountain Monarch, right?”

“Shut up!”

I frowned: “How dare Shanhai Gong dare to be so arrogant? The first emperor was lucky, and he was a generation of wise and wise monarchs. As far as the Xuanyuan Empire is concerned, the first emperor was always like the sky above, so how could he be a mere mountain monarch?”

Nangong’s face was also pale, and he hurriedly knelt down on one knee: “Your Majesty… Please forgive me for the crime of gaffe!”

Xuanyuan Li waved his hand: “Forget it, Duke Shanhai is also a quick talker, forgive you not guilty.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

…

“In that case.”

Feng Buwen frowned and said, “It’s better to… first prepare a roster, list all the available and available imperial heroes, and then let His Majesty and King Xiaoyao negotiate and decide on the list of candidates for Xiyue Mountain Lord and Qunshan Mountain God. how?”

“Available.”

Xuanyuan Li nodded: “Although it is an urgent matter to seal Xiyue, it should not be too hasty. What do you think, brother?”

I nodded: “Then draw up the roster first.”

At the same time as I spoke, I directly opened the Shifang Fire Wheel Eye, and saw the heart of the new emperor Xuanyuan Li at a glance, peeled off the layers of his soul, and at the same time, the heaven and earth of the god-transforming realm instantly shrouded me and Xuanyuan. Li was pulled away from everyone’s world, time seemed to stand still, no one would find anything wrong, only Xuanyuan Li, he stood there blankly, his soul was stripped away a little bit, just said sadly: “Brother… Do you still not trust me?”

I folded my fists and pleaded guilty: “Your Majesty, I sensed something wrong in the imperial city just now, for fear that some unscrupulous people will plant some seeds in Your Majesty’s mind and make a big mistake. I beg your Majesty’s forgiveness!”

He raised his head and burst into tears: “How can I make my brother fully believe…”

I didn’t say anything, I just checked his mind one by one, looking for something unusual with the eyes of the fire wheel of the ten directions, but for nearly a stick of incense, I couldn’t find anything, and Xuanyuan Li’s heart door was closed, he I can’t see the real thoughts. After all, the eyes of the fire wheel of the ten directions can only see what exists, and the thoughts in the heart of the human being cannot be penetrated by the eyes of the fire wheels of the ten directions.

“Shh!”

When I withdrew from Xuanyuan’s heart, I folded my fists and pleaded guilty again: “I’m sorry, Your Majesty, please forgive me for your arrogance.”

“It’s okay, brother, have you found any clues?”

“There is nothing abnormal, Your Majesty, please rest assured.”

“So good.”

Xuanyuan Li reappeared on the dragon chair with a calm expression, as if nothing that happened just now had happened, while Feng Buwen, who was beside him, seemed to sense something, just looked at me, shook his head lightly and sighed.
