The ministers of the DPRK and China came one after another, although there were some firsts and some later, but after arriving at the court, they all looked solemn, and no one dared to talk to each other.

"When the time comes, the ministers will meet the Taifu and the Queen Mother!"

Min Gong first stood under the steps of the dragon throne and spoke loudly.

Min Gong was the chief of the palace, that is, the chief of the chamberlain, who handled the internal affairs of the palace. Originally, he was supposed to follow the young emperor, but the young emperor naturally didn't need him to follow and wait. Therefore, now he is equivalent to the general manager of Liu Yi's side, but he is in charge of the palace.

Although he is an old minister, he has served the first emperor, and he is quite loyal to the Han family. But he also knew in his heart that in this new Han Dynasty, Liu Yi was his real master. knew that Liu Yi would become the real master of this palace sooner or later, so he had long regarded himself as a close attendant by Liu Yi's side, and everything he did in the palace was actually for Liu Yi. In his mind, Liu Yi is now only short of the title of real enthronement and emperor.

I also have to say that Min Gong, an inner servant, although he has a loyal and upright character, is a eunuch after all, and he is of course a eunuch who survived in the environment where the ten permanent servants control the government, and he is definitely not an old minister like Lu Zhi and Zhang Jun, who does not know how to turn and look at his face. The people who survive in the difficult environment of survival are definitely not simple people.

How to say it, that, it is impossible for Liu Yi to hide the little things in the palace, he naturally knew the relationship between Liu Yi and the Queen Mother, the princesses of the previous dynasties, the concubines of the first emperor, etc., and he also knew the palace at this moment. In fact, it is equivalent to the fact that Lewi's harem. So, he knows. How can he live like a fish in water in the current New Han Dynasty?

It may not be a secret that Lewy stayed at the palace overnight and so on. In private, the officials of the court and even the common people will spread some of Liu Yi's romantic affairs. However, under his secret arrangement, even if some people talked about it and some people doubted, no one saw with their own eyes how Liu Yi was in the harem.

Let's put it this way, Dong Zhuo back then. Now Cao Cao, they are more or less known how they are rampant and domineering in the palace, treating the palace as their harem, they can do whatever they want, and they can sleep with the women in the palace whenever they want. Especially Dong Zhuo, that kind of practice makes people jealous and hateful, Cao Cao may also be a little more restrained, but Dong Zhuo is a grand overnight stay in the palace. And let the Manchu civil and military dare not speak out, who dares to accuse Dong Zhuo, it is definitely a substitute death.

Min Gong he handled it very well for Liu Yi to arrange, even. Liu Yi never confessed to him, but he was able to handle those things for Liu Yi in private.

For example, Leo stayed in the palace. He would make evidence, that is, let the palace clerk record that Liu Yi was in the palace. Most of them deal with government affairs in the side hall of the front palace, and they will also explain. Who, who was with us that night. That's not all, the next day, he will explain to some courtiers who came to the court that Liu Yi was handling government affairs in the palace last night, and he said it so openly, but those courtiers won't say anything, and naturally they won't have any envy, jealousy, and hatred. What's more, the courtiers of the New Han Dynasty, which of them doesn't know that the current palace of the New Han Dynasty is equivalent to Liu Yi's harem? But you must know that the entire New Han Dynasty was established by Liu Yi one hand and one foot, if there was no Liu Yi, where would they be now? In this way, until now, although there will be people in the world who say how popular Liu Yi is.

The palace has its own rules within the palace, and there are some royal traditions, which are still to be done according to some previous traditions.

For example, when going to the court, the ministers first had to visit the emperor, and the inner servants around the emperor shouted to say something, and there was nothing to say about it, and nothing to retreat from the court.

It is estimated that this should be done to highlight the majesty of the emperor.

However, the New Han Dynasty naturally lacked many rules, and some traditional practices that were considered unnecessary were not necessary by Liu Yi. Unless it's very, very important and formal.

This time should also be considered a more formal and important time.

With Min Gong's shouting, all the ministers faced the dragon throne, knelt down to see Liu Yi and the Empress Dowager, and shouted Long live the emperor, Taifu Chitose, and Empress Dowager Chitose.

Although the young emperor is not there, he still has to call the young emperor first, and then Liu Yi and the empress dowager He Wan.

Chitose Taifu? Liu Yi felt a little awkward when he heard it, and he didn't wait for Min Gong to shout or anything. Liu Yi said calmly: "Lord Min, okay, don't say more nonsense, it's important to get down to business, gentlemen, get up and speak." ”

"Mrs. Xie, Queen Mother."

"I believe you all know the matter of summoning you to the court today, and in private, you should all know each other, right? At least, from the orders of the early days, some of the circumstances have been guessed. However, it doesn't matter if you know it or not, now, let Lord Jia Xu tell you about the situation first. Let everyone know what is really going on. Lewis said.

Jia Xu had already been prepared, and he came out to tell the story of a crisis that the new Han Dynasty might face.

Yizhou Liu Zhang, Hanzhong Zhang Lu, Xiliangdi, Qiang and other foreign races, Guo Yan, Niu Fu, Han Sui and a large number of princes, Wuhuan foreign races, Xianbei tribes, etc., outside the Northeast Pass, may have secretly formed an alliance under the tandem of a mysterious person who does not know who it is, and may have prepared a large-scale attack on the New Han Dynasty.

This situation, the New Han Dynasty has not really confirmed whether it is true, but it is only a problem judged according to the actions of these forces and their situation. Therefore, although Jia Xu used several possibilities in a row, the various court officials in the court, they did not think that it was only possible, but almost certain, as expected, these princes' forces and foreign races outside the Guanxi would definitely invade the New Han Dynasty.

In fact, the current New Han Dynasty is good, the earlier Han Dynasty, and even more distant dynasties, the Great Qin and Warring States periods. If the aliens outside the Guanwai want to invade Middle-earth and China, they will never notify the court in advance, and they will never sue you, saying that they want to invade you, come to rob your woman, plunder your food and property, or something. Definitely not to say. Often, it's the ones who are gathering good people. Come as you say, even. In many cases, the soldiers guarding the border passes in China let them raid without knowing what the situation was.

Therefore, as long as the Han people can clearly understand that as soon as they hear that the alien races outside the Saiwai and Guanxi are gathering people, then, without thinking about it, you can know with your knees that it is a harbinger that the aliens are preparing to invade their own Huaxia. If this time. I haven't prepared in time, and when people come in, it's too late to say anything.

Anyway, it's a reaction, an instinct. Even if it is a post-modern, foreign country outside China, no matter what reason they have, even if they use the excuse of military exercises or something, what military exercises they do at their own doorstep. From time to time, some troops are sent to do what they are doing. Then don't think about it, they must be preparing to invade Huaxia, and they are definitely uneasy and kind. If you don't be vigilant, don't take precautions. Over time, you will slowly lose your vigilance, hehe. I believe that one day, I will regret it.

But now. The civil and military officials in the court of the New Han Dynasty, they are quite vigilant. After listening to what Jia Xu said, none of them suspected that those alien races outside the gate were assembled just for fun, and from the angry look on their faces, it could be shown that they believed that those alien races were trying to come to the New Han Dynasty, and with the current strength of the New Han Dynasty, those alien races with wolf ambitions actually dared to provoke the New Han Dynasty?

Of course, when Jia Xu made a cursory analysis of how many soldiers and horses those princes' forces and those alien armies might have if they were united, the court couldn't help but be a little quiet, and many people felt the crisis.

If more than two million people attacked the New Han Dynasty at the same time, and attacked the New Han Dynasty from several directions at the same time, such a situation is really shocking. No matter how powerful the New Han Dynasty was, it would not be possible to face so many strong enemies at the same time for the time being. What's more, there is also a Cao Cao, who knows what Cao Cao will do when the New Han Dynasty is attacked by strong enemies from all sides?

A few days ago, Liu Yi had already issued an order, and he had already mobilized his military horses to go to various battlefields. However, now that they thought that there were so many enemies and so powerful, they were a little worried.

Every courtier in the court, they have paid a lot of effort for the current New Han Dynasty, none of them want to, but when they saw that the New Han Dynasty could unify the Han Dynasty, they suffered a sudden heavy blow. They were all worried that this was a burden that the new Han Dynasty could not bear.

Liu Yi had even noticed that the expressions of some courtiers showed some panicked expressions unnaturally.

For this part of the courtiers, Liu Yi is not very satisfied, even if it is really a national disaster now, what everyone thinks about is not panicking, but trying to find a way to fight the enemy. Fortunately, most of the courtiers were calm, they were worried, but they were more confident in this new Han Dynasty and had confidence in Liu Yi.

Since the founding of the New Han Dynasty, it has never stopped war, and it can be said that the New Han Dynasty has gone from struggle to the present and has become strong. The New Han Army has created so many miracles, and they have already established an invincible belief in their hearts. They all believed that as long as Liu Yi was there, the New Han Dynasty would be fine, and the New Han Army would be undefeated. Those who looked panicked should be some officials and courtiers who had just recently joined the New Han Dynasty and had just become a functional department of the New Han Dynasty, and they did not know enough about the New Han Dynasty and the New Han Dynasty, and they were not deep and thorough enough, so they would be a little flustered when they heard that there were strong enemies eyeing the New Han Dynasty.

Someone has such a feeling, and Liu Yi can understand it, so he did not single out this part of the courtiers to accuse them.

"Well, you all know the situation, right? If there is anything you don't understand, you can bring it up, you can ask. After Liu Yi had almost digested the news, he said, "In the face of such a situation, what do you have to say?" ”

"Lord, there are just some clowns jumping off the beam, why be afraid! The water comes to cover the earth, and the soldiers will block it! Dian Wei please fight! ”

"The last general will ask for battle!"

……

A group of generals, but they couldn't bear to jump out to ask for battle. However, most of them were generals who had not received orders from Liu Yi earlier.

"Shut up! I didn't ask you. Liu Yi angrily reprimanded the group of generals.

Then he said to Jia Xu: "Forget it, let's not sell it anymore, I believe that many adults have already guessed some of the situation, you can inform us of our previous decision first." ”

After Liu Yi finished speaking, he raised his head and said to the ministers: "This court meeting." In fact, it is not for everyone to talk about how to deal with the enemy, as the generals said. Just clowns jumping off the beam, our New Han Army doesn't take them in their eyes at all. What I want to discuss with you is. The question of how to ensure our logistical supply. ”

"That's right! Ladies and gentlemen. Jia Xu bowed his fist to the ministers in the hall and said: "Jia has discussed with the lord, this time, the possible crisis of our new Han Dynasty seems to be very dangerous, and if it is not good, it may shake the foundation of our new Han Dynasty, but if you think about it carefully, it is not." ”

"Just think. These power princes, they are mainly distributed in Yizhou in the southwest, Liangzhou in the west, and Youzhou in the north. Here, from southwest to northeast, thousands of miles apart. In the middle, there is a northwest desert that has been conquered by our New Han Dynasty. Judging from the general trend, they seem to be able to form an encirclement of our New Han Dynasty, and an army of more than two million people will kill our New Han Dynasty from these directions. On the surface, it seems that it can indeed make our new Han Dynasty take care of one thing and lose the other, and it will cause chaos to our new Han Dynasty, which cannot be prevented. Caught in a very dangerous situation. However, if we think about it a little more, we will perceive it. These are nothing at all. ”

Jia Xu waved his hand with a relaxed face: "Jia Xu talked to the lord. If, all of them are because it is the mysterious person who is not yet known and leads the needle. That's even better, because. Thousands of miles away, it was impossible for him to remotely control these forces, princes, and alien tribes at the same time. Even, they may not even be able to launch an attack on our New Han Dynasty at the same time, at most, he lobbied from it and agreed with those power princes to make an appointment to attack our New Han Dynasty together. In this way, it has also become an opportunity for our new Han army. ”

"Let's talk about those aliens first, why did they invade our New Han Dynasty? A few years ago, the desert overlord Huns were wiped out by us, and now those aliens, they are fierce and as fierce as the Huns? They have all been destroyed by us, so are they not afraid? Do you dare to provoke our new Han Dynasty? I don't think this is something that ordinary people can persuade them to attack our New Han Dynasty. It is estimated that those alien people, they are indeed sad now, the relationship of natural disasters, they are facing a food crisis, most likely, they are sad this winter. Therefore, they must plunder the winter supplies in order to survive the winter. Faced with the existential crisis of this tribe, it just so happened that at this time, someone found them and instigated their tribal leader to launch an attack on our New Han Dynasty. In order to convince them, the mysterious man had to at least convince those alien tribes with the sale of food and other materials. In the past, I negotiated an alliance with them, and made an appointment with them to use troops against the New Han Dynasty. ”

"That mysterious person, according to our intelligence, should have appeared next to Liu Zhang in Yizhou first. In other words, he should have persuaded Liu Zhang first, or the person who was originally Liu Zhang. You must know that we have solved Yuan Shao in Jizhou, and after recovering Jizhou, we will inevitably use troops against Yizhou and recover Yizhou and Hanzhong. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the mysterious person is Liu Zhang's person. But no matter what, it is estimated that Liu Zhang must use grain and grass as a medium to supply grain and grass to those aliens, so that those aliens can obey the transfer of the mysterious person, assemble at the same time, and attack our New Han Dynasty at the same time. In this way, it can be concluded that Liu Zhang is unwilling to submit to our new Han Dynasty, and he is just making a final struggle now. ”

"And let's see, Liu Zhang in Yizhou and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. These two princes, they should have a total army of hundreds of thousands, and the two princes together should not exceed 800,000 horses. However, no matter how many men and horses they have, due to the limitations of the terrain, they will not be able to pose a threat to our New Han Dynasty, at most, they will only block our attack on Yizhou, and will not directly endanger the territory of our New Han Dynasty. Therefore, the enemy army, which seems to be more than two million, can be eliminated at once Liu Zhang in Yizhou and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong. followed by a group of small princes of Xiliang and alien races such as Di and Qiang. ”

"You must know that the alien races such as Di and Qiang have not been at peace in Xiliang in recent decades, and it can be said that in the past ten years, the source of the turmoil in the Han Dynasty is in these alien races in Xiliang. It stands to reason that these alien races should be the alien races that our New Han Dynasty will destroy first. However, according to Jia's observation and understanding. Jia found that, in fact, the Di and Qiang ethnic groups are the tribes that know the most about our Han culture among all the foreign people, and the alien races that are most influenced by our Han culture, and in their bones, they are actually the most yearning for our Han culture. But why do they always make trouble? Well, this question is exactly the one worth pondering. ”

Jia Xu said so much in one breath, his mouth was a little dry, and he paused.

Liu Yi motioned to some chamberlains, brought tea to Jia Xu, and then said: "Well, that's right, why do the Qiang and other ethnic groups, who know our Han culture best, yearn for the most, and have the strictest sinicization, always want to make trouble?" Liu Mou felt something about this, so he could talk about it. ”

"Putting aside all kinds of reasons, there is a situation, but it is a fairly objective fact, that is, whether it is the Di, Qiang and other ethnic groups, or the Xiongnu, the Wuhuan people, the Xianbei people, etc., these foreign races, they all have a problem of a bad living environment. This problem may be an objective reason why they have often caused chaos and have been constantly infringing on our China for thousands of years. Liu Yi said with a serious expression.
