"The one you got at the gate of the city today is very good, at this time, don't be afraid of being famous, the more famous you are, the more you make yourself a hero of the empire, a hero of the empire, and the more difficult it is for the emperor to attack you today." Wei Zhongxian said.

"Uncle, what should I do next?" Qin Duan asked.

"From tomorrow onwards, you will go to visit the Qing~ Building every day." Wei Zhongxian said.

"Visiting the green ~ building?" Qin Du asked with a frown.

"That's right, go to the green ~ building." Wei Zhongxian said affirmatively.

……

Emperor Zhao Youxiao has been a little annoyed recently, although he used the excuse of the defeat on the southern front to purge the faction of the Southern Military Region that was inclined to his younger brother Zhao Youzhen, but this was not his original intention, and no one wanted to see the defeat of his own army, but since this phenomenon has occurred, someone must be responsible, and it just so happens that Chen Xiangnan and his subordinates have deviated from the track they arranged, so they have to bear this responsibility.

But this is not the most troublesome thing that bothers him, this talent in the northwest is the most conflicting for him. Megatron Northwest, national hero, the country and the people in the territory, the people live and work in peace and contentment, ambitious, ill-intentioned, bold, arrogant, this series of statements seems to be difficult to focus on this one, which makes it a little difficult for the emperor to make himself the emperor. The ministers attacked it en masse, but their sons and Wei Zhongxian defended it with all their might, and even did not hesitate to fan their own pillow wind, which really made it a little difficult for them.

Calculating the time, this guy should have arrived in these two days, or later, when he arrives, let's see how he explains himself. Zhao Youxiao leaned on the armrest of the imperial chair, absentmindedly listening to His Highness's new Imperial Intelligence Vice Minister Zhou Baozhong's report on the secret peace talks between the Milanese and the Maqi Khans, while thinking.

"Due to successive defeats on the battlefield. As early as half a month ago, the call for an end to the war and negotiations with the Macherians in Milan began to rise, and in their court, the main peace faction led by Deputy Prime Minister Nelson repeatedly asked King Louis XI to negotiate with the Mache Khans, but it was not until ten days ago that the Second Corps of the Kingdom of Milan was severely damaged by the Macedan army's eastern road cluster, and Louis XI agreed to Nelson's construction, and Nelson was responsible for secret negotiations with the Mache Khans. ”

The report was made by a tall, thin middle-aged man. He is Zhou Baozhong, the new deputy minister of the Imperial Intelligence Administration, who was formerly the director of the National Security Agency under the Imperial Interior Administration.

Due to the successive mistakes in the imperial intelligence system and considerable responsibility for the defeat of the imperial southern front, Zhao Youxiao dismissed Hopkins, the former deputy minister of the Imperial Intelligence Administration, and submitted it to the Supreme Court of the Empire for trial, appointing Zhou Baozhong to replace him, and Tie Neng, the minister of the Imperial Intelligence Administration, was also fined for one year and was not allowed to go to the palace for one month.

Ma Zhengfeng, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the General Military Affairs Administration, who was most responsible, was removed from his post and stripped of his knighthood and status. He was directly sent to the prison and waited for the trial court to pronounce the verdict, and his entire family, his wife and children, old and young, were also assigned to be slaves and directly sent to the slave market to be auctioned off in the nature of official slaves.

Seeing that the emperor sitting on the imperial chair was a little absent-minded, Zhou Baozhong cleared his throat and continued to report: "Nelson's negotiations with the Maqi Khans are progressing rapidly, and it seems that the Maqi Khans do not want to get too caught up in the war on the Eastern Front, according to reliable intelligence. The parties have reached an agreement, the details of which are not yet known. However, the withdrawal of the Machanides from Milan, the withdrawal of the armies of both sides from the border area, and the restoration of trade and diplomatic relations between the two sides should be the main contents. ”

Zhao Youxiao finally returned his attention to the front: "So, can the Maqi Khan people concentrate on dealing with us?" ”

"That's how it should be. It is said that the Milanese were very unhappy with us, believing that we did not have enough troops to put too much pressure on their fronts. will lead them to failure. Zhou Baozhong replied cautiously.

Zhao Youxiao didn't speak for a long time, just thought silently, Zhou Baozhong saw that the emperor's majesty fell into deep thought, and he didn't dare to say more, just waited quietly.

"Good. I know, you step back first, it's going to be early, I have to prepare. He waved his hand lightly and motioned for Zhou Baozhong to leave, and Zhao Youxiao leaned back in his chair a little tiredly.

Zhou Baozhong bowed silently and retired.

As the bell of the early dynasty rang, the ministers who had been waiting outside the Taihe Hall entered the hall to prepare for a new day. Emperor Zhao Youxiao, who was dressed in formal clothes, was also sitting on the Nine Dragons throne facing south and facing north, his face was no longer tired, and he looked refreshed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a report of the end of the performance." Glancing at His Royal Highness's ministers, Zhao Youxiao's mood seemed to be a little better.

"Qi plays His Majesty, and the minister Zhou Bao plays it." According to Zhao Youxiao's orders, Deputy Intelligence Minister Zhou Baozhong was the first to be listed.

Zhou Baozhong briefly retold the content of the morning report, and this information was established

"What do you think about this matter? Although. Zhao Youxiao's face darkened, and he glanced at the ministers who were talking to each other.

The hall suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke for a while.

In the end, it was the first auxiliary Ye Xianggao who appeared in the middle of the hall with a slightly hunched figure, "Your Majesty, the minister has a play." "Because Huo Bingkins, the deputy minister of the General Administration of Imperial Intelligence, and his subordinates were all put into prison by His Majesty the Emperor, Ye Xianggao, who had been in the officialdom for decades, also felt that the power of heaven was unpredictable, he didn't want to speak, but it was a matter of the fate of the front-line army, he knew that even if he didn't speak, in the end, His Majesty the Emperor would still point to his head, so he had to take the initiative to go out.

"Ye Aiqing, tell me your opinion." A rare smile appeared on Zhao Youxiao's gloomy face.

"If the Milanes truce with the Machans, it will have a huge impact on our southern front. At present, the Mahad and Andaks have in fact compromised with the Maqi Khans, their army has not moved at all, coupled with the armistice of the Milanese, the Maqi Khans have no pressure on the eastern front, and their elite troops, the Yulin Corps, will definitely move westward, which will pose a great threat to our army on the southern front. ”

"However, the Nanyang Alliance rejected our request and still maintained normal economic and trade relations with the Maqi Khans, and in addition, the eastern countries also resumed economic exchanges with the Maqi Khans, so our economic sanctions were actually useless."

"Go on." Zhao Youxiao said expressionlessly.

"The Maqi Khans have stabilized the situation in the occupied areas after occupying the state of Viet Kyong, and there has been no riot or uprising as we imagined, and now there is intelligence that the Maqi Khan occupation army stationed in the state of Viet Kyong has a division moving eastward, presumably preparing to join the battlefield in their own country. The ethnic unrest in Sanjiang County has not yet subsided, but I suspect that even if it does, Lin Guoxiong will not accept the Empire's orders to cooperate with the actions of the Southern Military District, and he may find another excuse to prevaricate. Ye Xianggao's voice became deeper and lower.

"What do you think?" Zhao Youxiao's tone couldn't hear any emotion. (To be continued......)
