Volume 2, Swallowing Mountains and Rivers Chapter 142 The Imperial Meeting

Towering buildings, majestic undulations. The guards are strict and the prohibitions are heavy. This is the Imperial Palace. At this time, inside a golden hall, a figure sat on a high place.

Like a round of scorching sun, the divine flame danced brightly, revealing only two rays of light, calm and indifferent.

"The Great Qianguo has been established for thousands of years, and the millions of troops of Wusizang have come to attack, what is the best way for Aiqing to deal with it?"

His voice was like thunder, and his momentum was magnificent, and the whole hall was shaken.

"Emperor, Uszang's million-strong army is coming. Now that Pengcheng is occupied, I propose that the Empire immediately send troops to regain its territory and stop the enemy in the desert northwest. ”

In the main hall, there were dozens of figures with forced breath. Among them, a figure came out of the queue and said in a deep voice.

He paused and continued: "The northwest region is tens of thousands of miles deep, and as long as the empire recruits millions of soldiers, it will definitely be able to use its geographical advantages to repel strong enemies. ”

This man was wearing a golden robe, a jade crown on his head, and a very handsome and young face. As soon as he opened his mouth, many princes and nobles looked sideways, because this was the representative of the hardliners of the entire empire, a war king from the imperial family.

He assisted Emperor Qiandi in quelling the rebellion decades ago, and was the most outstanding figure in the entire imperial family. This time, when the Uszang army attacked, he tried to take the initiative to counterattack, and the enemy was defeated and slaughtered, showing the majesty of the empire.

Although his idea is very good, but the empire has been thriving for thirty years, and now the major internal forces are intertwined, and there are many people in remote areas who are dissatisfied with the rule of the aristocracy. Over the past few years, the Qian-Tibetan Empire's policy has tended to stabilize and it has strived to stabilize the internal situation.

The main hall was solemn and quiet, and the others did not respond to the words of the war king. More people turned their gazes to an old figure in front of them.

This is an old man, dressed in casual clothes, which contrasts with the many official uniforms of distinct ranks. His eyes were closed, his silver hair was scattered, and he looked very lazy and casual.

"The total number of border troops in the four directions is only 500,000, and the border army in the northwest is only 100,000. Even if the empire recruits soldiers and horses temporarily, it will be very difficult to gather an army of 500,000 troops, and it will take a year to raise a million troops against the enemy army according to the proposal of Lord Warlord. ”

Finally, the old man spoke slowly. He still closed his eyes and muttered: "Besides, this time the Demon Sect has entered the lord of Uszang to lead hundreds of sects in his country, and there are countless cultivators, and now the major forces within the empire are fighting each other, even if the emperor orders it, it is unpredictable, and he can't fight to the death for the empire." If it's a head-to-head confrontation, I don't have much chance of winning. ”

At the end of speaking, the old man opened his eyes, and a pair of eyes were as deep as the stars of the universe.

"Zhao Xiang, it makes sense. ”

The minister thinks that Zhao Xiang's analysis is correct, now that the empire is empty, the other party is also attacking at the right time. If you go head-to-head, I'm afraid you'll fall into their trap. ”

"The empire has reduced its taxes a lot in recent years, and there is not much money left in the treasury to support a major war. ”

"In addition, last year, our empire reduced the number of children born by five or six hundred thousand, and now the country seems to have a huge population, but there are not many young adults who are really suitable for killing the enemy on the battlefield. It is not impossible to gather an army of one million, but if the war does not last, I am afraid that the number of people needed will be increased several times, and the impact will be quite great at that time. ”

......

As the old man's voice fell, several ministers spoke one after another. They are all in charge of the major powers inside and outside the empire, and they know best that the current situation of the great cadres is absolutely not suitable for a big war with other empires, otherwise it will be difficult to support it for a long time, and the stable national strength will decline sharply again, and when the time comes, there will be no need for other countries to invade, and I am afraid that the internal will begin to fall apart.

"Guys, what do you mean?"

Hearing this, the war king's eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "According to your intentions, is it impossible to let the Wusizang Iron Cavalry drive straight in, and only raise weapons to resist after attacking our imperial city?"

"You high-ranking ministers, you keep talking on weekdays, and you do your best to die. Now it's better to be afraid before the battle, where has the mouth full of loyalty gone. ”

The war king's words were sharp, and he didn't care about the faces of these princes and ministers. He was born in an imperial family, and he himself has made great achievements, and his cultivation is at the top, so naturally he doesn't need to beat around the bush for this group of literati. In the past several political disagreements, he could still tolerate three points, but this time it was difficult to control himself under the anger.

"The king of war doesn't need to be angry, the ministers are also thinking about me. The old man's eyes were deep, facing the tall humanoid silhouette above, and he said slowly: "Emperor, this matter is not impossible. The Demon Cult intends to provoke a dispute between the two countries, as long as they can be wiped out, the war will naturally subside, not to mention the cost of the people and the country's national strength. ”

Aiqing has something to say. ”

Emperor Qian's eyes were compelling, and they fell on the old man. He was very ambitious in his civil and martial arts, put down rebellions decades ago, and in recent years has reduced taxes and reformed the government. In order to become a generation of holy masters, he will leave a name in history.

Wu Sizang was just a vassal state of Daqian decades ago, and now he dares to commit an offense, which is a big deal for any Ming Lord and Holy Monarch, if someone else puts forward such a negative idea, he would have ordered to pull out the noon gate and behead the public. But this old man is different, he assisted two generations of Emperor Qian, and he was the chief prime minister of the Great Qian, and he was the head of the Zhao family, no matter what level of identity it was, it was difficult to ignore.

Especially now that the Zhao family has produced many strong people in the clan, and the younger generation has counted several demons, becoming the most powerful family among the eight major families now, in a sense, its family power even far surpasses that of the Liu family back then.

Whether it is internal or external, the power controlled is enough for Emperor Qiandi to pay attention to.

"The Great Emperor is wise and powerful. ”

The old man's face was solemn, and his lazy appearance had disappeared. He glanced at it, and finally his gaze fell on the War King, and said calmly: "The Uszang Empire's invasion of our country is nothing more than two reasons, one is that the Demon Sect and others are fueling the trouble, and the other is coveting the several great spirit stone veins in the empire. ”

"There are many sects in Wusizang now, and the number of powerful cultivators in the country is even no less than the number of empires. If we want to stop this battlefield, we must first extinguish the ambitions of the Demon Cult and others. Capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as the demon lord falls, then this war will naturally subside. ”

"The Demon Lord has fallen?"

"This ......"

In the main hall, the ministers looked at each other. Although Zhao Xiangde's method is indeed very suitable, it is very difficult to achieve this result.

Last time, the demon lord descended on the Imperial City and stirred up boundless turmoil. Even Emperor Qiandi personally took action, but the other party also went away, and the realm cultivation had reached the level of super-divine transformation, they really couldn't imagine who else could make this legendary demon lord fall.

"Zhao Xiang, you said it lightly, with the current strength of the demon lord, who else can easily resist. To be his opponent, there is no way to find a number of five fingers in the empire. ”

"What the War King said is true, but the original appearance just happens to know one of his weaknesses. The old man shook his head, but did not continue to speak under the expectation of everyone, but smiled treacherously, which made the faces of many ministers in the hall full of surprise, but they did not dare to ask more.

If it was really Zhao Xiang's words, then such a matter was very important, and it was already beyond the scope of what they could know, so for the sake of insurance, no one dared to ask at will.

"Since Zhao Xiang is sure, then this matter will be arranged by you with full authority. ”

In the depths of the scorching sun, a tall silhouette sits, and the light of Emperor Qian's eyes flowed, like a vast starry universe rolling. After a pause, he continued: "However, the menacing Uszang Empire naturally requires an entire army to attack. This matter was arranged by the King of War. ”

"Do the holy thing. ”

......

Emperor Qian's words were true, and the response method was set in a few sentences. As a monarch with great martial arts and martial arts for decades, he is not only ambitious, but also handles political affairs remarkably, unlike the emperors of previous dynasties who advocate martial arts, but he also has a strong blood. In the face of the enemy's large-scale attack, it is obvious that he already has a countermeasure in his heart, otherwise today's court discussion would not be so firm and calm.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the enemy is coming, and we need to work together. I hope that the Aiqing will prohibit it and go to danger together. ”

Glancing at the audience, his tall humanoid silhouette slowly disappeared above the main hall. The mysterious and powerful aura slowly receded like a tide.
