The next day, the mansion of a certain conscience.

An official-looking, angular man sat at the desk, carefully reading the letter in his hand.

After a long while, he raised his head and said to the person in front of him, who was wrapped in black cloth all over his body, "Go back and report to your lordship, say that I know, and promise to complete it as planned." ”

The figure didn't say anything, nodded slightly, and the figure suddenly disappeared into the air like a ball of ink, as if it had never appeared.

Seeing the black figure leave, the official-looking man sat for a long time, then sighed, got up and walked out of the room.

This gentleman is an official of the conscience faction, his position is neither high nor low, and he belongs to the class of people who are not taken seriously in the minister's line and the conscience faction, Jiang Chuanyue secretly wooed this person, but it will not attract too much attention.

Jiang Chuanyue wants to achieve great things, and naturally he can't have eyes and ears in the DPRK, not to mention that there are nails within the conscience faction, and even some officials in the minister's department have been co-opted by Jiang Chuanyue by various means of inducement, threats, etc., and there is no need to talk about all the means.

......

The next day, the Emperor's Imperial Council.

Under the tall and spacious palace, the two-year-old emperor sat high, and after a complicated audience ceremony, the great court meeting began.

"I would like to inform Your Majesty that the Western Empire has recently deployed tens of thousands of soldiers on the border of the Empire, and there is a tendency to invade the Empire, and Your Majesty has requested General Bude to go to guard the western border."

A certain official arched his hands to the young emperor on the dragon throne, but his eyes looked at Minister Earnest sitting on the emperor's left and right, and General Bud who closed his eyes and rested.

Hearing this, Minister Earnest thought for a moment, moved his fat body, as if a mass of fat was shaking, and his two small eyes aimed at General Bude on the side: "I have also heard about this matter, Western countries have always intended to get involved in the empire, and they do need a famous general to guard the border, I don't know what General Bude wants?" ”

The emperor is still young and does not even have the most basic judgment, so the imperial government affairs are in the hands of Minister Ones, the minister of the old emperor of the previous generation, but all court meetings are presided over by the ministers, and the emperor just sits on it as a mascot.

General Bude was also one of the ministers of the old emperor of the previous generation, but he adhered to the principle that the warriors did not interfere in politics and never gave advice on political affairs.

General Bude didn't raise his head, and said: "Of course there is no problem with the old man, but who will guarantee the safety of the imperial capital after the old man leaves, the rebellion of the revolutionaries in the empire has intensified recently, almost threatening the imperial capital, if there is no old man sitting in the imperial capital, who will protect the safety of His Majesty." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace suddenly fell silent, and no one from the minister's family or the conscience faction spoke out, and what General Bude said was the truth.

As the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Imperial Army, if he leaves the Praetorian Guard, it is inevitable that the army's heart will be shaken, not to mention that the Imperial Capital Praetorian Guard is under the command of others, and they can't trust it.

"Ahem, in that case, I wonder if you have any good suggestions?" The minister coughed, breaking the silence, and said with two small eyes sweeping towards the ministers.

Suddenly, all kinds of suggestions were put forward, and the palace seemed to be like a vegetable market, and the sound was noisy.

"General Estes, who is guarding the southwestern border, can be transferred to the western border." At this time, a courtier stepped forward and suggested.

Hearing this, the minister nodded, noncommittal, but his voice changed: "General Estes going to the western border is indeed enough to deter Western countries, but the ethnic minorities in the southwest are not in rebellion, who should be sent to suppress after General Astes leaves?" ”

"This ......" for a while, the man was speechless, the provocation of Western countries is important, and the issue of ethnic minorities in southwest China is equally important.

"Or send General Fergus to guard the town." The minister suddenly suggested.

"No, absolutely not!"

Hearing this, Christian, the leader of the conscience faction and the prime minister of the empire, immediately stepped forward to stop him.

Not only was Fergus a lackey in the Imperial Army under Minister Earnest O'Nester, but he was also an insatiable and murderous man, and one can imagine what hell the civilians of the region would fall into if he dominated the southwestern frontier.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, I wonder what Prime Minister Christian has planned?"

The minister squinted his eyes and asked as he looked at Christian with a yin and yang look.

"This ......" Christian gagged for a moment, and the court fell silent again.

"His Excellency Prince Jiang Chuanyue doesn't seem to have a fief yet, I wonder if the southwest region can be divided into his territory?"

Suddenly, a conscientious official came out and proposed to everyone.

"I remember that His Excellency the Prince seems to be underage, and according to the law of etiquette, he has not yet been able to grant land."

"Special treatment in special times, the prince has the responsibility of guarding the empire, and it is not uncommon in the history of the empire for minor princes to be given territories."

"I agree."

"I agree with ...... too"

In the end, the court council approved the proposal.

This is also normal, the conscience faction does not have enough prestige generals in the army, and the southwest region is not the fat that they can gnaw on, and Christian is afraid of the further expansion of the minister's power, and using the southwest region as the prince's fief is the best result, which can not only suppress the minister, but also make friends with the royal family.

The rest of the aristocratic forces thought that Jiang Chuanyue, as a prince, would sooner or later get a territory in the empire, and the southwest region had the risk of minority rebellion, and the transportation was inconvenient, and the people lived in poverty, which was obviously a place of oil and water. gave the prince as a fief in the future, and his own people were not only less of a competitor, but also allowed him to stay away from the chicken ribs of the southwest region when he divided the fief.

Minister Earnest did not expect to be able to bring the southwest region under his control, and his proposal for Fergus to go to the town guard was just a rhetoric, and he knew that the aristocratic forces would not agree to this proposal, let alone the conscience faction.

So in the various interests of the court, Jiang Chuanyue's fiefdom was determined.

This is already the best result for him, Jiang Chuanyue's territory doesn't need to be rich at all, he doesn't need to worry about funds at all, money and food can be done by casually finding a few rich businessmen through the transformation technique, anyway, in this desperate world, none of the rich people are clean at all.

And as a traverser with a golden thigh, will he have no way to get money? Therefore, what Jiang Chuanyue really needs is a place where he can train soldiers and train elite soldiers......

ps: It's been a few weeks of running naked, and I weakly asked if there was a recommendation ticket......
