Chapter 338: Bad News
After the joy, she devoted herself to cultivation again, and immediately felt the difference. The mind moves slightly, the spiritual power runs more freely, and can be manipulated extremely subtly. If in the past, I used to observe the operation of my own spiritual power with a magnifying glass, but this time it is a high-powered microscope.
From this moment on, she finally understood when Gu Wei emphasized the need to "see the nature of the heart", and it was really the heart and the flesh ¥ ~ body cultivation that complement each other and are indispensable.
Recalling that Yun Jie had mentioned when he gave her a lecture back then, although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was exhausted, there was still huge room for improvement for cultivators with natural qualifications. The real final pass that can get stuck in people is the realm of the Dao heart.
Character, knowledge, experience, and mind are all indispensable. Although Feng Miaojun is not very old, the world she has seen is too real, and the realm of a Dao heart that has been cultivated in the red dust is improving every day. Today, it has finally become a success.
She understood that her cultivation could only be described as one step and a thousand miles from now on.

The next day, Feng Miaojun did not dine with Fu Lingchuan, and later failed to go to Yingshui City, the old capital of the Haoli Empire. It's not that Fu Lingchuan broke his promise, but that the royal court received a series of bad news, and neither he nor the queen could leave.
The war on the southwest front was not effective, and a big marshal was in the hands of Yun Kai, but Pu Lingguo was aroused to retaliate, and these days he was crazy about killing and looting in Anxia. I didn't know what tonic the Puling people had taken, and their eyes were crimson.
The trouble is that there is a precedent of Puling, Anxia's shortcomings in military strength are exposed, and other small border countries are ready to move, and they also want to fight the autumn wind to get a piece of the pie.
After another six days, the situation was even worse:
Bozhou also fell, the checkpoint to the hinterland of Anxia was lost, and Xu Wenda, a general who had become famous for resisting Wei in the past ten years, died with the city, raising his sword to kill himself at the last moment, and the scene was extremely heroic.
At this time, the Anxia army mobilized from the central and northwestern regions had not yet arrived, but the Puling people had already entered the Bogu Plain from Bozhou, and the plague was spreading everywhere.
In the city of Urssel, the matter of the Wei alliance was repeatedly refuted, and the courtiers were angry about the country's righteousness, claiming that they would not tolerate the enemy, and took the opportunity to bring up the queen's return to Lubo City to stabilize the people's hearts and encourage morale. Fu Lingchuan rejected this article on the spot, and it was very unpleasant between the monarchs and ministers.
Feng Miaojun also summoned Xu Linghai in his spare time.
The guy she rescued from the outskirts of Mida City is now her confidant, often singing and harmonizing with her in court. Fu Lingchuan clearly knew his origin and intentions, and tried to pull him into his camp several times, but Xu Linghai resolutely refused.
He knew in his heart that only by resolutely supporting the queen could he have the value of existence; there were too many people around Fu Lingchuan, all of whom were more powerful than him, and all of them had advantages over him.
Regarding the current impasse in the court, Xu Linghai has his own opinions:
"The disaster of Puling can be solved sooner or later by Anxia alone, but the military, property, and material resources consumed for this are huge, and the treasury cannot withstand such a loss, and if the war continues like this, I don't know how many lives will be filled, and how many border cities will be burned, killed, and plundered. He said in a low voice, "The most important thing is that your prestige has just been established, and in the blink of an eye, it will be greatly reduced because of the Pu Ling, and the Yuan Force will also be sharply reduced. At that time, the irrigation production of farmland and the flow of trade and goods among the people will be greatly affected. ”
To put it bluntly, it is the people's belief in the country and their confidence in the future of the country. If the country always fails to win wars and suffers in their own lives, how can the people be loyal to the country and have confidence?
Yuan power naturally decreases.
Such attenuation will bring about a series of chain reactions, the most direct part of which is the lack of yuan for regulating the climate and responding to disasters.
When the fortunes of the country are thriving, even if there is a sudden disaster, the country with the blessing of Yuan Li can minimize its impact. This point has been particularly obvious in Yan Guo. It has not had a large-scale natural disaster for more than 100 years.
And tyranny, foolishness and perverse behavior are often accompanied by natural and man-made disasters, that is, the yuan force is not enough to shade the land and can no longer bring about the effect of wind and rain, such as Xiguo, which has already reflected such drawbacks.
Therefore, the war in the southwest is a trigger for the whole Anxia. Not only to deal with it properly, but also as quickly as possible.
At the moment, how can there be such conditions?
Feng Miaojun smiled bitterly: "Anxia has just returned to the country, even if there are elites in the hands of the elders, most of the soldiers are newly recruited, and it is really difficult for some strong people to go on the field to fight against the Puling cavalry who come and go like the wind after less than a few months of training. "She understands all the objective difficulties.
Xu Linghai was slightly stunned and praised: "It is really rare that the king is sitting thousands of miles away, and he can still see the military situation. "The biggest problem with long-distance command is that the information is not smooth, and the head does not know enough about the affected area. The queen is far away in the city of Urssel, but she sees the contradictions on the front line so thoroughly, not to mention that she also spends a lot of energy on military affairs, and is by no means a puppet queen as ordinary bureaucrats say.
Feng Miaojun waved his hand lazily: "Don't pat the horse, if you have something to say." ”
Xu Linghai said: "At present, there is a way to solve the border troubles, ready-made, convenient, simple, time-saving and labor-saving." ”
Feng Miaojun pressed his temple: "Could it be that what you said was Wei Envoy's proposal?"
"Exactly!" The king is really smart, although he is a daughter, he is stronger than a man I don't know how many times.
Feng Miaojun didn't scold, but only asked him: "Tell me about it." "Xu Linghai is the best at identifying wind and grass, from Fu Lingchuan to Baiguan, the entire royal court is resistant to the agreement that Yun Jie came up with. But Xu Linghai still wants to mention it, there must be a reason for him.
"The king is worried that once he forms an alliance with Wei, he will lose the hearts of the people?"
"It's not just my concern. "Once the people's heart is lost, it is difficult to recover it. "The enmity between the Anxia people and the Wei State is as deep as the sea, even if I am for the long-term plan of Anxia, they will not understand my painstaking efforts. "Putting aside the past history, there are many benefits of an alliance between Anxia and Wei, and she doesn't need Yun Jie to say anything about it. But the public is emotional, and people naturally only see immediate benefits, and have little interest in the ethereal vision.
She understood this before she fell into this world.
"The hatred is as deep as the sea?" Xu Linghai sighed, "Is that really the case?"
Feng Miaojun looked at him sideways, interested: "What does this mean?"
Xu Linghai actually said unceremoniously: "The king can understand the frontline battle situation thousands of miles away, but he may not understand the thoughts of the people in this land. ”
