readx;? No one knows about Shen Chaoran's loss, although the one in the imperial capital has returned, but so far he has not been ruthless against any of the seven major generals and the twelve families. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Today's court is full of rumors, not only because the master came to the court, but the most important thing is a piece of music sent back by the secret spy department, the content of which makes dozens of dignitaries in the court look gloomy.

The content of the memora is very simple: the five counties in the southwest fell, the Black Lotus Sect took over the power, and the envoys of each county were assassinated.

For the sake of the Black Lotus Sect, the imperial court sent hundreds of thousands of troops to encircle and suppress it a few months ago, but it didn't expect that the more they were strangled, the more bandits there would be in the Black Lotus Sect.

What is even more unacceptable now is that the bandits of the Black Lotus Sect actually controlled the power of the five southwestern counties, wantonly collected those soldiers who fled, and formed an army and the imperial court to shake it.

With such a slap in the face, it is no wonder that many dignitaries of the imperial court have cold faces and can't raise any interest.

The chair at the top of the Emperor's Hall was empty, and the Holy Lord was sick, and now it was the crown prince Huangfu Yunlong who was in charge of the country, and he added the purple gold dragon chair below the throne, which was the place where he was sitting in the prison.

The crown prince's gaze was cold, and he swept over the dignitaries who were still buzzing and discussing above the main hall, quite impatiently.

In the end, when his gaze was fixed on the head of the civil and military officials, the master who was sitting upright on the Taishi chair with his eyes closed, his face was complicated and with deep fear.

"Okay, it's all discussed? The dozens of dignitaries of the dignified court, what kind of mess are they talking about, let's talk about it to the palace now. The five southwestern counties have been occupied by the Black Lotus Sect, and the prestige of the imperial court has been greatly lost, have you come up with any way to make up for it?"

As soon as the prince spoke, the noise of the commotion below immediately stopped, and in the face of the questioning of the prison state, most of them were powerless, and even those frizzy generals chose to silence.

There is no way, it is impossible to persuade them to surrender, and the Black Lotus Sect has already killed the envoys sent many times.

Suppressed by force? Of the 300,000 troops sent in the past few months, less than one-third were able to run back, and the rest were either killed in battle or taken prisoner and turned to the Black Lotus Sect bandits.

Looking at the dead and dreary hall, the prince's chest rose and fell, and he secretly scolded these old and immortal treacherous cunning in his heart, and all the core issues involved were pretended.

Half an hour later, the prince's eyes were on Han Qianyue, the secretary of the military department, who wanted to speak and stopped, the previous secretary of the military department was deposed because of incompetence, and this one had just taken office with his support.

"Han Shangshu, do you have a good plan?"

Han Qianyue's old face turned red, and he walked out of the array of civil officials: "Prince Qiyu, Weichen thinks that the disaster of the Black Lotus Sect is fundamental, or because the other party is a mysterious sect in the rivers and lakes, it is difficult to grasp its traces, and the imperial court's supervision of the sect is too weak now." ”

As soon as the words came out, many of the generals and the owners of the family gate valve were shocked, staring at this newly appointed military department secretary, if they still couldn't guess this old guy's plan, it would be better to hit his head to death.

The Great Qian's Dynasty established the country by force and ruled the country with civil affairs, and in the final analysis, the most important foundation was super-strong force.

Ninety percent of the most powerful masters in the empire come from the sects on the rivers and lakes, and it can be said that the sects are the source of the main masters in the real army.

The countless members of the imperial court have all kinds of connections and entanglements with the sects on the rivers and lakes, and the top ten lords of the empire are basically the guests of the top families and generals, and they can directly influence some decisions of the imperial court.

After all, whether it is the army or the royal family, too many generals and colonels have learned martial arts from the sect and then used them to serve the country.

At this time, Han Shanyue, an old immortal, suddenly took advantage of the Black Lotus Sect's anti-thief matter and proposed to start supervising the big sects on the rivers and lakes, which was clearly wanting to covet the influence and powerful force of those sects.

In what hands is the army of the Empire in charge?

Bingbu!

Who is the nominal supreme commander of the military department?

Naturally, it's him Han Qianyue!

Although the status of the secretary of the military department is lower than that of the three kings of the military department and the prince of Qian, the general of Tiance, it is still up to him, the secretary of the military department, to make a decision on the big things.

At least on the surface, the royal family will not easily interfere in the important affairs of the military department, and he, the secretary of the military department promoted by the crown prince, has been playing this abacus all along, and achieved the purpose of controlling the imperial army by controlling the sect.

What a scheming!

Many princes and princes have a sneer on the corner of their mouths, do they really think that they can command the army of the imperial court to govern the sect and make them bow down to this prince?

That's wishful thinking.

The crown prince and the country seem to have a lot of power, but how can those princes and the lords of the twelfth family be easy to match, they also control a lot of troops, and they secretly do not know how much.

Let them supervise the sect, it can only go through a form, in the end, those sects are still out of the control of the imperial court, the initiator of this initiative against the sect, after a long time, it will definitely not be pleased, and even death is not impossible.

The most important thing is the highness who closes his eyes on the chair of the imperial master, no matter what decision the imperial court makes, if this one is against it, then the possibility of implementing it is infinitely close to zero.

The crown prince praised Han Qianyue's thoughts, and there was no lack of words of encouragement in his words, and many adults knew it, and the prince must have said it through Han Qianyue's mouth.

"Great goodness, my lords, you are all the humerus of the imperial court, I don't know if there is any supplement to Han Shangshu's thoughts? The Black Lotus Sect is a big trouble for the imperial court, and it must be eliminated!"

When he said the last sentence, Huangfu Yunlong's eyes burst out with a murderous aura, which frightened several elderly pavilion elders with pale faces and almost sat on the ground.

The princes in the court were all nervous, and it seemed that the crown prince was planning to forcibly force those elders to agree to implement a regulatory policy on the gate faction on the rivers and lakes.

The generals and scholars who were swept by the prince's gaze were all looking at their noses and noses, and they didn't dare to speak easily, after all, this was a job to offend people, and each family did not get involved with so many sects.

Moreover, even if the supervision is successfully implemented, it will not benefit them, and the biggest beneficiary is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sitting on the purple dragon chair.

Prince Qian, Huangfu Wuwang, has been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, and so far he has neither expressed support nor opposition, he has already made up his mind in his heart, and the ears and eyes of the hundred officials are noisy, and it is difficult to have one mind.

The imperial court is now divided into five or six parties, which support the crown prince, the third prince, the seventh prince, and the ninth prince, respectively.

Sure enough, seeing that Prince Qian had not spoken, he obviously intended to stay out of the matter, and many of the other princes' henchmen looked at each other and bowed their heads in unison.

Zuo Yucian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took the lead in standing up:

"Prince, please allow the official to say a word. The momentum of the Black Lotus Sect is not the sect of the territory of my Great Qian Empire, according to the archives of the Secret Spy Division decades ago, the Black Lotus Sect's bandit leader Black Lotus Holy Monarch was born in the Wind Fall Empire, and now he is more than 100 years old. ”

Seeing that the princes were interested in his words, Zuo Yucian gently stroked his three-inch white hair, and then recounted his opinions.

"If the imperial court supervises the world's sects and causes a backlash and turmoil in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that it will fulfill the wishes of the Holy Monarch of the Black Lotus Sect, and I am afraid that it will force many sects in the five counties to merge into the Black Lotus Sect, but it will increase the strength of those bandits. ”

As soon as the words came out, they instantly received the response of several other princes' supporters, which instantly provoked the face of the crown prince Fu Yunlong's face to be gloomy.

Han Qianyue, the secretary of the military department, immediately quarreled with Zuo Yucian, the secretary of the ministry, and the two did not give in to each other, and more and more ministers joined in, divided into several factions to express their opinions, and the court became a vegetable market.

Huangfu Yunlong's face became darker and darker, and he instantly understood that these ministers were pretending to be posturing, obviously seeing their plans, he immediately snorted angrily, and left directly, without letting the eunuchs announce their retreat from the court.

Just after the crown prince left the Emperor's Palace, the eyes of the Emperor Fu Wu slowly opened, and there seemed to be thunder in the depths of the dark pupils, which were very dazzling.

"Shut up the king!"

Boom!

A few words were as violent as thunder, and many ministers in the hall were dizzy, and those generals also felt that the internal strength in their bodies was stagnant, and they almost vomited blood.

Puff! Puff!

The nearly 100 ministers who came to their senses all knelt on their knees, sweating coldly, and did not dare to make another attempt, and even the three kings of the military department swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stood in front of the military attachés with their heads bowed, and did not dare to say another word.

After a long time, Huangfu Wuwang stood up, a pair of sword eyebrows raised slightly, looking at the high-ranking officials and dignitaries kneeling in the main hall, his face was extremely cold.

"Tell the world that the empire will set up a martial arts competition in Qingtan County on the border on the ninth day of the next month, no matter what sect it is, they are eligible to participate, and they can go to Qingtan County to sign up. ”

After a pause, the eagle-like eyes of the Emperor Fu Wu Wang stared at the three kings of the military department for a moment, and then said:

"The major sects can send five strong men to participate in the battle, and they will win three out of five battles. The court of the winner gave the first sect plaque in the world, rewarded 500,000 gold dragon coins every year, and set aside a 500-mile radius to become the private area of his sect. ”

"The second to the tenth are given the title of Imperial Sect, and an annual subsidy of 200,000 gold dragon coins is used as a subsidy for the Empire to support the development of the sect, encouraging the strong of the sect to enter the imperial army to serve. Before the remaining thirty ranks, a reward of 100,000 gold dragon coins will be rewarded. ”

The repeated orders shocked dozens of ministers, Prince Qian is planning to support the development of the top sects in the rivers and lakes indefinitely, especially the first sect can still have private territory, which is almost the size of a prince's fief.

The three elders of the cabinet, the privy envoy of the Hanlin Academy, and the three kings of the military department all wanted to speak and stopped, and they had not heard the will of the prince for more than ten years, and they wanted to disobey for a while.

Since Prince Qian's retreat, they are all real big people who are active in the court, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are in power, and they have developed the habit of giving orders, and they are instructed at this time, and they unconsciously want to resist in their hearts.
