"In this way, there is no hope of going out outside of Qishan Town."

The ministers looked at each other, but it was Lord Du who spoke first.

"Back to the emperor, theoretically it is like this, we have all seen the places outside Qishan Town, not because there is any material that hinders the spread of natural disasters, but because of the topography, the water of the river has not been polluted, so it can be preserved. We didn't survey Qishan, because we were afraid of volcanoes. ”

Nangong Tian frowned, and knew that he was now stuck in a dead end, that is, the preventive measures against natural disasters were about to be ineffective, if the method was not developed quickly, then the natural disasters would further expand, and then Uncle Izumo would really be helpless.

"Is it possible to survey in Qishan and not affect the volcano in his place?"

Nangong Tian only felt that there was one last way now, although the risk was particularly great, but he couldn't save him from giving up so much, so he had to work hard.

"This."

Lord Du pondered, how could they not have discussed this issue, there was only one result left, if you don't start from this place, then Izumo will really be ruined.

It's just that the result is really not very gratifying.

"With all due respect, Your Majesty. This result has been predicted by Chen and others, but there is only a 1 in 10 chance, and this is only a chance of not touching the volcano, not a continuation of success, even if it is a successful survey, it may not be able to find the material that inhibits the natural disaster. If you accidentally anger the volcano, the consequences are really unimaginable. ”

"But it's not one percent, there's still a certain chance, isn't it?"

"Although this is the case, but the emperor, you have to think about the consequences." The other ministers all persuaded Nangong Tian, although they also wanted Izumo Kingdom to survive this difficult time safely, but once the bad consequences appeared, their group of people would definitely not be able to escape.

"But what does this consequence count with Izumo being completely covered by natural disasters? Do you have to give up this little bit of life? Nangong Tian looked directly at the ministers who persuaded him.

The ministers unconsciously lowered their heads.

"You will have the heart to retreat, I can understand, but you must remember that there is still me above this matter, if you can't fight this problem again, wait until the natural disaster spreads, and Izumo will not be far from destroying the country. When the country is broken, even if it has a good reputation, what is the use. Have you thought of any of this? ”

The faces of many ministers turned pale, just like Nangong Tian said. If the Izumo Kingdom is broken, the existence of these people will be history, and no one will care about the reputation of the people who have become history.

"So now my idea is that no matter how small the odds are, I still have to try. If any of you don't want to join the project now, you can quit now, I don't want you to say yes now, and then do all this and that in the course of the survey. When the time comes, we will delay the business. ”

Nangong Tian felt that the current warning was necessary, otherwise, when the time came, wouldn't it be to annoy him to death. And this is the last hope, and he won't allow more variables to arise.

"Does anyone want to quit? If anyone withdraws, I will not do anything to you as I said, I understand you. ”

"Your Majesty. In fact, the minds of the old ministers are very clear, not that they want to get rid of this responsibility, but that they are worried that it will make the situation of the whole country worse, and the whole country is not worried about the emperor alone, as the people of this country, we must contribute to this, even if it is some fame, it is insignificant in the face of the survival of the country. ”

Lord Du was originally a person who was keen on national affairs, and he had enough loyalty to the royal family, Nangong Tianneng was relieved to hand over this job to Lord Du, but now it is naturally Lord Du who is the first to speak.

With Master Du's beginning, the others also made up their minds.

"The ministers are willing to make their own modest efforts for the future of the country, and hope that the emperor will demolish it."

Nangong Tian looked at the people in the imperial study, whether they were all on his side or neutral, and their answers also made him very pleased.

Of course, it's not that they don't want him to start the survey of Qishan, and the last bit of hope in Izumo Province can't be let go, but I'm afraid that when they won't have such a harmonious conversation, he will do whatever it takes to get that result. Even if these are people on their own side, they will use some improper means to get the result, but then the subvariables are also very large. Of course, if you don't do that, you don't do that.

"Good, good. You are all people who have made great contributions to Izumo, and as long as you can get good news from Qishan, your reward will definitely be no less. ”

"Yes. The ministers obeyed. ”

"I will appoint Du Aiqing as the head of this operation, and will bring the gold medal I predicted, and will send a team of Black Cloud Guards to protect the safety of all Aiqing on this road. I am waiting for the good news from you in the Imperial City. ”

Although Nangong Tian was sitting in his place, the ministers could indeed clearly perceive Nangong Tian's eyes and smile when he looked at them.

Nangong Tian has always been serious in front of the ministers, and his face is indifferent, and there are not many smiling faces. And now it was indeed a real smile slowly towards the ministers. So the ministers are now a little flattered.

"The ministers will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations."

"Good. Ladies and gentlemen, step back first. I will inform you of the specific departure time, and now I will give you special permission not to go to the morning court these days, but to go home and rest first. Du Aiqing will stay with me and talk about this plan first. ”

All the ministers are thankful and departed.

Master Du still stopped in place, thinking about Qishan.

Nangong Tian looked at the contemplative Lord Du and knew what he was thinking, but this time he was left behind, although it was also about this time, it was not the plan this time. It's something else.

"Du Aiqing."

Lord Du was awakened from his contemplation by Nangong Tian's shout.

"The minister, the emperor, for this plan, Wei Chen..."

"Well, I didn't tell you to stay for this plan, but for something else."

Nangong Tian looked at Lord Du, who had always been his right-hand man, and Lord Du was actually not from a bureaucratic family, and he was just a cold coat. In the first year of his ascension to the throne, he was the champion of Lord Du, but Lord Du had some twists and turns at that time, and he was admitted to the champion in his thirties, so Lord Du has always been working under him. can be regarded as his henchman.

"Master Du, I've been following me for a long time."

"Yes, since the ministers followed the emperor, they have been working hard to relieve the emperor's worries, and they don't dare to look forward to the emperor's kindness back then." Speaking of course, Lord Du is naturally grateful to Nangong Tian.

Although he was a cold coat, his talent and learning back then were also recognized by many people, but when he went to the imperial examination when he was young, his remarks were criticized by Ren at that time, and he never wanted to change himself in the following years.

It's just that the family was poor at that time, and I wanted to use my talents to change the family's family situation, but I didn't want to go against my own heart and insisted on my own words, which attracted the blows of many powerful people at that time, so I was not able to continue to make achievements in the imperial examination for so many years.

As a result, in the year when Nangong Tian ascended the throne, the power of the family that oppressed them at the beginning also collapsed with the collapse of the people behind him, and he had a chance to breathe, and the imperial examination, which was already hopeless, was put on his agenda.

As a result, he was originally a talented person, and he naturally entered the palace examination without giving up his talent in those years, and then Nangong Tian personally named himself as the champion, which was very kind to him at that time. At that time, he was determined to work hard for this king who was so much younger than himself. And it hasn't changed yet.

"Yes, you have been working under me for a long time, and you are the person I trust the most in this plan, so I don't want anything to go wrong in this matter, this thing is left to you by me. You hold it, although it is my prediction gold medal, but I always feel that this matter will not be so easy to finish, so this thing, you must put it away, otherwise the consequences will be unbearable. ”

Lord Du looked at Nangong Tian in surprise when he got what Nangong Tian gave him, he himself also opened the holy decree, and after reading the content on it, he suddenly felt that the things in his hand instantly felt heavy, as if he was about to be unable to hold it.

"Minister, Emperor, this thing is too valuable." Master Du didn't know what to say, what was in his hand, it was a holy decree. And it's a blank holy decree, which is too precious for him, not only to complete the task of Qishan, but also the emperor's trust in him.

Nangong Tianneng gave Lord Du such an oriental character naturally had his own considerations, and he was very satisfied with Lord Du's reaction now, and he could see that he had not lost his trust in himself.

"Du Aiqing, you must know that I am not giving you this thing for you, but to increase the chance of success for your trip to Qishan this time. This is for Izumo Province, and for me, not for you. ”

"But, Your Majesty." Master Du wanted to speak and stopped, when such a thing is not done well, something big will happen.

Nangong Tian did not wait for Lord Du's refusal.

"This thing is something that you and I only know, and no one else knows, and you can't give this thing to anyone else. You must keep it yourself. This is your last hole card, and you can't live up to my expectations. ”
