The old professors looked at Dean Chen with solemn faces.

"The emperor announced the death of Zhao Shilong in the morning today. Moreover, ......," said Dean Chen, "and he attributed the cause of Zhao Shilong's death to the heads of the Northland barbarians." It is said that Zhao Shilong was assassinated by the assassins of the barbarians!"

What the!

When several old professors heard this, they couldn't help but gasp.

"Is the emperor going to use troops against the barbarians?" Professor Zhou said, "So, he pushed Zhao Shilong's death on the head of the barbarians, so that he could use this as an excuse to send troops against the barbarians!"

Over the years, since his disappearance, the contradictions between the barbarians in the north and the empire have deepened day by day, with friction and wars, but no large-scale wars have broken out.

However, for some reason, the upper echelons of the empire have been covering up this matter, so that the people of the world do not know that the situation in the north is actually very tense now.

War is on the verge of breaking out.

However......

"This is not a good time to do something to the barbarians. Professor Zhou said in one sentence.

But the emperor didn't think so. Dean Chen shook his head. "The most important thing is that this time, those princes also participated......"

For those princes, it is naturally very important to be able to cater to the emperor's will and please the emperor. Moreover, if they can take the opportunity to grasp the military power and achieve great feats in the war, wouldn't the position of the crown prince be at their fingertips?

Therefore, this time, it is not only a foreign war, but also a political game between several princes!

Several old professors thought of this at the same time.

If you go outside, you must first settle inside. But if the internal strife is not chaotic and the people's hearts are not aligned, how can it be external?

If war is declared on the barbarians at this time, under the intrigue of several princes, this battle will be lost!

"Old Chen, how is the situation in the imperial court now?" Vice President Wang sighed.

"It's not good. Dean Chen said, "Zhou Xingxing said in the letter that since the emperor announced the cause of Zhao Shilong's death, many people in the court have guessed his intentions. Many families have expressed their opposition to the use of troops against the barbarians, among which the eldest grandson family and the Zhou family are the mainstay. However......"

Speaking of this, Dean Chen frowned slightly, and then continued, "However, several princes and the forces behind them, in order to compete for military power in the war, are wantonly agreeing, and they even pointed out in public that the northern barbarians are wolf ambitions, and they must send troops to fight, otherwise, I am afraid that the people's hearts will be unsettled." In the end, several princes even knelt on the main hall and begged the emperor to send troops immediately......"

The old professors stopped talking.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.

This storm, perhaps, came a little faster than they had imagined.

Dean Chen looked at everyone and said with a solemn expression, "If the imperial court really uses troops abroad, it will be difficult for us in Qingyi Academy to stay out of the matter." After all, over the years, most of the students who graduated from the academy chose to go to the Beilin Border Army. ”

The professors nodded.

Since ancient times, going to the border army to accumulate military merits has been one of the fastest ways to climb up in the empire, and the northern forest border army is the first line of defense of the empire against the northern barbarians.

"What about the Tang family? What do they say?" Professor Zhao suddenly asked, "Over the years, Tang Lin has been leading people to fight against the barbarians in the north, and recently he has just sealed the Hou ...... because of this."

Professor Zhou shook his head and interrupted him.

"Tang Lin is afraid that he will not be able to speak. Lao Zhao, you also know that the marquis of Tang Lin has accumulated real military achievements. However, in order to whitewash the peace in the north, the imperial court has suppressed the military exploits of the Tang family over the years, and later, it was really unbearable, so in the name of Zhou Xingxing, in the name of his recommendation, Tang Lin was given the title of Hou ......"

Speaking of this, Professor Zhou sighed, "If you think about it, in Tang Lin's heart, I'm afraid I'm afraid I've been holding my breath for a long time." Now, if he can have a big fight with the barbarians in a big and bright way, and let the world know about their Tang family's exploits, how can he oppose it?"

The old professors stopped talking.

If the Tang family, who had been fighting against the barbarians, didn't react, then what use would it be for the other people to oppose it?

Your Majesty, this is an iron determination to use troops against the barbarians.

Professor An suddenly said, "You said that at the beginning of the year, Your Majesty suddenly made Tang Lin a marquis, is it because of the current situation? After all, if you want to be a marquis, with the military merits accumulated by the Tang family over the years, it is already enough...... Why wait until today......"

The old professors looked stunned.

"An An, you're right. Dean Chen sighed and fell silent, as if he was muttering something.

After a few moments, Dean Chen finally made a decision.

"Lao Zhao, send a message to the teachers outside the academy and ask them to pay close attention to the affairs of the Northland barbarians. The big war is coming, and intelligence comes first...... Lao Wang, you personally wrote a letter to the imperial court to show the attitude of our Qingyi Academy. In addition, tell the emperor that the implementation of the academy this year will be placed in the Beilin Border Army......"

......

The tension in the outside world, An Lingsu didn't know at all.

At this moment, she was in a small valley, facing the wall and thinking.

As for the reason, she was late for astrological observation class!

Professor Lin, who was teaching, didn't say anything about it, and directly let An Lingsu leave the class and stand in the small valley outside.

Ay!

An Lingsu sighed for the Nth time.

I knew that if I ran back in a hurry, I would still be late, so she simply wouldn't come back.

Now, she has left the Valley of Trials, and she doesn't know if Yuwen Ling'er can break through the greedy wolf array alone.

An Lingsu was thinking about it alone, but a soft cough suddenly came from behind him......

She looked back, and the old-fashioned Professor Lin was standing behind her.

"Teacher. An Lingsu saluted.

"Susu, do you know why I want to punish you for standing here?" Professor Lin said with a serious face.

"Yes. An Lingsu nodded obediently, "Because the student is late." ”

"......" Professor Lin glanced at her deeply, and something flashed in his eyes.

"What, teacher, is what the student said wrong?" An Lingsu asked with some surprise, looking up.

"Yes, it's not right. Professor Lin looked up at the starry sky and said slowly, "Susu, you should know that in the academy, you are different from others. So, if you are late today, you should be punished, but I have not only punished you here to punish you. ”

An Lingsu nodded.

She showed such an unusual talent in the academy, at the beginning, although it was just to enter the academy and follow the footsteps of that senior, however, it is undeniable that after these days of getting along, she really liked this academy and the teachers in the academy.

"Teacher, is there anything special here?" she asked thoughtfully.

"Hmm. Professor Lin suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to a certain star in the sky, and said slowly, "Su Su, you see, the brightest star in the east is called the Emperor Star, and not far from it, the looming star is called the Phoenix Star by the Academy. Over the years, the emperor star has been shining as before, but the phoenix star has gradually dimmed. Until...... More than two years ago, the phoenix star that had been silent for many years finally began to loom. Do you know why?"

An Lingsu's heart was shocked, but he shook his head quietly. "The students don't know. ”

More than two years ago, wasn't it the time when she came to this plane inexplicably?

Could it be that this astrological theory is really so magical?
