While Aslan continued to be confused, the White Cloud Emperor exerted his power again.

"The steppe wolf ride is not extinguished! The orc tribe of the dark green forest is rampant, and now the Great Xia Empire is also showing its fangs to the empire! The imperial army is stretched thin and barely supports. But every year they throw a large amount of military money into the pockets of those rotten nobles! Are we all blind?" Emperor Baiyun suddenly shouted: "Houston! General Houston! Tell me why you see that the army lacks combat effectiveness." You know you're going to expand the army! Saw the garrison colluding with the noble lords to spend the empire's finances. But you have done nothing, you are the Minister of War. But they are all pretending to be deaf and dumb? Are you old and faint, or are you selfish!"

This last question can be regarded as a heart-wrenching sentence. Old Hughes's heart jumped. But he had to take two steps, lowered his head and said, "Yes... It's the old minister who is mediocre. ”

"Stupid? I don't think you're mediocre! But you're selfish! Hmph, your military department has always regarded the army as your private property! Amazing, any military affairs can only be expanded, not cut! Redundant troops are not cut, that is what you are reluctant to! What is this? Is it to protect food! Or is it because of the filial piety they give? But this is the army of the empire, not the army of the military department!" Emperor Baiyun has already stood up, leaned forward, and waited for the old general Houston: "Why don't you speak? Hmm? Can't say it? Then let me speak!"

Hearing this, no matter how stupid Aslan was, he knew that Emperor Baiyun was finally going to make a move to the military department, and he was also preparing for a large-scale purge, and now he was the number one person in the military department.

Aslan was a little worried that such a large-scale purge would not cause a large-scale rebellion, and the connections behind these old ministers of the military department were beyond imagination.

Afterwards, Emperor Baiyun took a slight breath, gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "Last year, someone proposed to abolish a division of the Alabama garrison, and you strongly opposed it! The year before last, the Arkansas garrison was unarmored and unconquered, and strongly wanted to cut this garrison division, and you strongly opposed it! Can you tell me why?"

The old general Houston didn't dare to say a word.

The Baiyun Emperor suddenly roared and roared angrily: "I'll tell you why! Hmph! It's not easy for our military, and after so many years, we have accumulated so much family business, and we can't just throw away every penny! Houston! Who said this! Where did you say it? Do you know it!"

Houston's body was shocked, and then his face changed wildly, his forehead was instantly covered with sweat, and with a plop, his old body fell to one knee.

"Hmph. Let me tell you! This is after you opposed the disarmament plan last year. You said it in the military department. ”

"You! You treat the Imperial army as if it were your military department! Bastard! Bastard! You are the general of the Empire. You don't have to worry about earning a family business! The army is not the private property of your military department! If this army cannot serve the empire and cannot contribute to the empire. Then if it should be cut, it will be cut, and if it should be reduced, it will be reduced! You are good, the dignified Minister of War of the Empire, but he has become an old hen who protects her cubs! This cannot be touched, and that cannot be touched! Just look at the military spending, and only know your family background!"

"Your Highness... I... I..."

"What are you! Do you want to say that you are mediocre? Or are you old and dizzy? Or are you guilty?" Emperor Baiyun became more and more ruthless, and said coldly: "You confess your guilt in your mouth. I'm afraid to go back to the first thing. Just go and find out who leaked what you said to me? Hmph! Houston, Houston. Last year's disarmament plan was your first chance! The garrison division that was unarmored and turned into thieves at the beginning of this year was your second chance! Both opportunities were given to you... As a result, you..."

Speaking of the back. The voice grew colder and colder.

At this moment, everyone knows that today's incident may not be good. And the Baiyun Emperor is suddenly here, and he wants to shoot the Minister of War?

"Look at this thing~!" Emperor Baiyun threw a document directly in front of Houston.

"This is the filial piety account of the garrisons everywhere over the years. ”

Houston, who was trembling and stretching out his hand, suddenly stopped there, and soon burst into tears and kowtowed violently to the Baiyun Emperor.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is confused......"

The White Cloud Emperor looked at Houston coldly and said coldly.

"Now I know that I am confused, for your little benefit, but how much vitality has been spent on the imperial army, it's really good, just like this, you still want celebrities for thousands of years, and it is good for you to not leave a stench for ten thousand years. ”

In the audience, I am afraid that the only ones who still remained calm were Aslan and the unfathomable old prime minister.

Aslan was surprised, but he wasn't surprised. He knew that Emperor Baiyun had always been dissatisfied with the military for a long time, especially in the process of the coup d'état, as the number two person in the military also participated in the coup, how could any monarch tolerate the existence of a military department that did not obey his orders?

It's just that he didn't touch the military at the beginning because he was not long in power. After more than a year and two years, Emperor Baiyun has firmly controlled the Imperial Forest Army. He also took advantage of the reorganization of the rebels of the Imperial Capital Praetorian Guard after the coup d'état, and infiltrated the Imperial Capital Janissary Legion! The 10,000 soldiers of the security station in the security office of the capital of the city were also completely transformed into a musketeer division

This is the only way to open the knife to the big guy in the military department!

Others can't figure it out, obviously today is discussing the matter of reinforcements from the Battle Shield Legion, why did it suddenly turn into a spearhead pointed at the military boss? Aslan rolled his eyes.

This Baiyun Emperor is really still in that style, planning and then acting, and he won't give you any signs in advance!

However, Aslan suddenly looked at the prime minister Van Gaal again, and the old man also looked calm and did not seem surprised.

It seems that the next time you fight him, it is best to take Liu Bowen with you, so as not to be sold and help count the money.

"Here's the order...", his voice was low, and he dragged out his tone, and said coldly word by word: "General Houston, the Minister of War of the Empire, has been loyal to the empire all his life, and has worked hard, in order to cherish his loyalty, and also show the empire's love for the old ministers, he will be rewarded with one hundred gold gold, ten boxes of South Sea pearls, and awarded the title of Duke for life, and the title of court military strategist." The post of Minister of War is temporarily vacant. Wait..."When he said this, he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Let's wait until I think of a candidate!"

The old general Houston was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, kneeling there, his body trembling constantly, where is there still a little bit of the red-faced appearance of fighting with the Chancellor of the Exchequer just now? Finally, after a long time, he reluctantly said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, Your Highness..."

Then he staggered to his feet, as if with great perseverance, he did not fall. Instead, he walked to his chair next to him and sat down.

Aslan didn't understand a little, from what Emperor Baiyun had just said, when this old Houston general took office in the military department, he relied on his status to help the local garrison operate, and he should have been honored a lot over the years.

Why didn't Emperor Baiyun deal with him, but rewarded him, just drove him out of the military department.
