In the scorching summer and the sun was shining, Wen Xuan, Wei Gonggong and others were enjoying the lotus flowers in the pavilion in the south garden.

Gonggong Wei asked, "Why doesn't the emperor invite one or two royal children, and the eunuchs and ministers to enjoy the most beautiful lotus flowers in this summer?" Wen Xuan didn't understand what Gonggong Wei meant, "Why do you want to invite others? What's more, I'm not alone, I still have you by my side." Father-in-law Wei looked embarrassed, I don't know if the emperor really doesn't understand or pretends not to understand. No more.

In the distance, there was a voice of "General Epo in the west, asking to see the emperor". Wen Xuan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "Enter". After the ceremony, Wenxuan gave a seat. "Dare to ask the emperor how the matter of my western independence is being considered?" Wen Xuan said unhurriedly, "Aiqing first take a sip of tea and enjoy this summer lotus, this scenery can not be appreciated in the west, why be so anxious about the affairs of the court." ”

He has a big beard, his eyes are bright, and he is a military general, and he never knows what to appreciate. I don't understand what this King Jinwen means, I just think that King Jinwen is an empty emperor, not even a puppet, if King Jinwen does not agree to the independence of the west, I will send troops to take Jinguo.

"I'm a martial artist, I really don't know how to appreciate the lotus scene, I just ask the emperor to say a word, allow me to be independent in the west." Wenxuan didn't know that the western part of the past dynasties was the most powerful, with traffic blockage and cold winds. The news of the government is never directly reported. But because of living in this cold weather, the temperament of the westerners has become particularly bold and courageous.

Wen Xuan also felt that a martial artist could not become a climate, and those in power should read more books and books, understand history and cultivate sentiments, even if they are military generals, they are brave and unscrupulous, like a cow. "The western part of the country is a border of the country, and I will not allow independence. ”

E's annoyed eyebrows were raised, and he only said angrily, "I have full control of the military power in the west, and the grain and hay in the west are also sufficient, I want to lead the troops to fight you tropics, it should be simple."

Wen Xuan couldn't understand why people in a country wanted to seize power and land, and how many innocent soldiers and people would be harmed in order to cause trouble. "Epor, what is wrong with our Jinguo to the west? What is the neglect of the generals and courtiers in the west? Do you know how many people have been displaced and their lives have been destroyed when you have led the troops to cause trouble, and the houses and shops we have built have all been destroyed, which is not conducive to the construction of the country."

Eporphyry understands that King Jinwen is indeed the King of Jinwen, and his head is full of ink admiring poetry and distance. "Seeing that the emperor is so merciful and compassionate, I will ask the emperor to think about it for five more days, and ask the emperor to gather some military attachés and soldiers before making a decision. The minister retired. ”

Wen Xuan was still facing the lotus flowers in this summer, the sun was shining on the lake, and the golden light was shining, but his heart was not as calm as it was just now.

Wen Xuan stepped down from the pavilion and paced around it, not knowing how to solve the problem of Western Independence, there had never been a coup d'état before. Wen Xuan touched the green jade on his body and said to Gonggong Wei, "Gather a few civil officials and military generals tonight to discuss the affairs of the west." I was still apprehensive, so I drove to Jintanhai.

When I arrived at the Jintan Seaside, the scenery was the same as last time, but the emotion in my heart was different. Thinking that the homes and family businesses that the people had worked so hard to build during the war were instantly wiped out, and the family members were forced to fight from Rong, and how many lives and deaths were parted for the desires and ambitions of those in power. The history books record all the bloody springs, autumns, winters and summers, isn't a country made up of the people? The well-being of the people is the highest praise of the emperors of all countries, why do they start wars? Are those in power so desperate to fight for their power and status?

Seeing that Wen Xuan was still stunned, Gonggong Wei stepped forward and said, "What is the emperor thinking about?" Wen Xuan replied, "The country treats the west so politely, why does the Epori still have to make trouble, if this is the case, it only pities the people of my Jinguo."

Looking at Wen Xuan's side face, he has only succeeded to the throne for half a year, and he is much more mature than before. is no longer the dashing and dashing Wenxuan who played the flute and recited poetry before.

After Wen Xuan finished eating, he summoned eight or nine Wen Chen military generals to discuss the meeting in the Immortal Crane Pavilion. "The ministers knocked to see the emperor. Wen Xuan felt good when he saw these ministers, as if he was still far from the real government, and he didn't even know their names.

Wen Xuan looked at the agenda map he had written, raised his head and asked, "Everyone present is the most outstanding young and capable minister of Jinguo, I want to know what you think of this western independence of Hubei."

Wenchen Zhou Taihui said, "The minister thinks that the matter of western independence has been an unsolvable problem for thousands of years, and independence is absolutely not allowed. ”

For a long time, the air seemed to be condensed, Wenxuan still has 3 younger sisters, although they were not born to the same mother, but the relationship is also very good, and they are really reluctant to distinguish any of them from their sisters.

General Cao Sihui "It takes about 200,000 soldiers to lead the troops to meet the battle, and there are 350,000 soldiers in the hands of Epor, it is estimated that he will take 100,000 soldiers to fight, and 250,000 soldiers will stay in the west to wait, but the people in the west live in the cold zone and have strong combat effectiveness, and we need more and stronger troops to compete with it." ”

Wen Xuan's heart was as if it had been scratched by a blade. "Zhou Tai, why do you say that the independence of the western region is a problem that has been difficult to solve for thousands of years?" Zhou Taihui said: "This western problem has existed since the first emperor ascended the throne, and the generals in the western region have too much military power, collude with each other, and have ten thousand taels of gold and silver. Preferential treatment of soldiers, official eunuchs and soldiers eat meat and drink together, winning the hearts of the army and their morale is strong. ”

Wen Xuan angrily slapped the pear blossom wood table with his hand and said, "Why didn't anyone remind me, if it weren't for today, I would still be in the dark." A few days ago, I was reminded of independence and trouble, and I thought I just wanted to pay more troops and pay less tribute. But I didn't know that there was really such a plan. ”

The military general Zhou Li replied, "If it weren't for the emperor's book fragrance all day long, not governing the government, and only raising flowers and walking birds all day long, could the west be so quick to plan for trouble?" Zhou Li's voice penetrated into his ears, and it was incompatible with the entire Xianhe Pavilion.

Yang Hu is a representative of a generation of civil officials, and he has been slow to speak. I'm also afraid of saying the wrong thing. It can be seen that Zhou Li is so outspoken. Zhou Li also said, "In the view of Yichen, the best solution today is also to make peace, and then consider the long-term after making peace, the military power in the west is too large, and the three powers should be checked and balanced, and the official eunuchs are changed every two years, and there is no regeneration, and I hope that the emperor has resolved this mutiny in a peaceful way." Although he is not worthy of marrying a princess as a porphyr, but the matter has come to this point, and it has to be like this. ”。

Yang Hu hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, the minister also thought so." ”

Wenxuan fell into a bottleneck and ordered the ministers to retreat, leaving only Zhou Tai, Cao Si, and Zhou Li.
