At noon, the streets are crowded with traffic, crowds, the cries of vendors, the bargains of customers, the laughter of women, the crying of children, all kinds of chaotic sounds are intertwined, and it looks chaotic and prosperous—this is the royal capital of the Juntan Kingdom, Xinzi. The richest and most powerful people in the country gather here, and they hold the most wealth and the most power in the country, and they control the lifeblood of the whole country.

And in the center of the royal capital Xinzi is the king's palace. The high red walls surround the palace majestically, and the entire palace is enshrined in it. The 10-meter-high, 1-kilometer-high palace stands majestically, and the ceiling decorated with pure gold shines in the sunlight, revealing the power and wealth of the royal family without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the immediate priority is to rebuild the Jinluan Palace. This hall was built by the first royal family 900 years ago, representing the majesty of the royal family, and now a corner is damaged, which is really damaging the imperial prestige. If it is not repaired in time, it may even affect the great crisis of the country's fortunes. Above the main hall, a short-haired middle-aged man in a red official uniform stood respectfully in the center of many ministers, and said to the emperor sitting on the throne.

"The minister thinks that what the director said is reasonable, and the Jinluan Palace is related to the royal face, and it is indeed the top priority, and I hope that His Majesty will immediately order it to be repaired. Another minister stood up and bowed to the emperor.

"Well, that's good. The emperor, who sat on the throne calmly and had a slightly bloated body, said with satisfaction, "You are all pillars of the country, and you are the best talents of my Juntan. I am glad that you can think about your country. ”

"Your Majesty Xie's praise. The two ministers bowed in unison and said solemnly.

"Your Majesty!" At this moment, a burly man came out from among the ministers on the side, he was wearing armor, his face was rough, and there was a visible scar on the right side of his face. "The minister thinks that what the two adults just said is indeed reasonable, but the top priority at the moment should be the border defense of northern Xinjiang. The turmoil between the Tatu and Shechi tribes has been going on for nearly a month, and the Orchid Island Kingdom to the west is now also ready to move. Your Majesty, the current border defense of the country is unstable, and it is really inappropriate to take the lead in repairing the Jinluan Palace at this time. The minister thought that he should distribute these goods to the northern Xinjiang and send additional reinforcements, which was the top priority at the moment. ”

The emperor stroked his beard and frowned: "What General Kong said is indeed reasonable. It has been so long since this Tatu and She Chi turmoil, and Yu Tianci has not yet resolved it, and this matter seems to be not simple. But what the ministers said is very reasonable, and the treasury does not have so many reserves, so it is impossible to carry out two things at the same time, which one should be given priority?" he sighed and said to the ministers below, "Ladies and gentlemen, you are all pillars of the country, you come to think for me, which one is more reasonable and which one should be more prioritized?"

The emperor's voice fell, and the ministers below began to discuss. Dongfang Director glanced at General Kong on the side with a squinting expression, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that everything must be paid attention to and be responsible. This side of the defense is indeed a priority, but this matter originally belonged to Yu Tianci's jurisdiction, and if he can't handle this matter well, it is his problem, and he needs to be held accountable when the time comes. And this matter of repairing the Golden Luang Hall is of concern to me, the director, so I hereby propose that Your Majesty will wholesale the goods. General Yu and I are both important ministers of the state, but we are in charge of different things. I can repair this Jinluan Hall very completely, can't he Yu Tianci solve the two small indigenous tribes?"

When General Kong heard this, he was furious, and suddenly stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar: "Can't you tell which is more important between a Jinluan Palace and the country's border defense? What's more, don't you still ask Your Majesty for money when you repair the Jinluan Palace? General Yu is out on an expedition and has worked hard for the country's society, and you civilian officials are still thinking all day long about finding all kinds of excuses to deduct military salaries, do you think we are all blind? How much have you reduced your military resources for five consecutive years on the grounds that the border defense is stable and the sergeants are idle? Now that there is a real need to fight, he has kept silent about the fact that the food and salaries of the soldiers at the front have been cut many times and that they are not enough to defeat the enemy. You scheming rats dare to call yourself a national minister!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, he is going to commit murder in front of you, Your Majesty!" Dongfang was shocked, struggling with both hands and feet, but he couldn't get rid of General Kong's strong big hand, so he could only shout for help from the emperor on the high seat.

"General Kong, you must not be rude above the main hall! The emperor shouted and rebuked General Kong.

"Hmph!" General Kong snorted coldly, and with a flick of his wrist threw Dongfang out, who staggered back five or six steps to the ground, and bumped into the minister behind him before stopping.

"You, you... Your Majesty, he is so rude in front of you, this is not taking you seriously, Your Majesty!" Dongfang looked at the tall General Kong with his pupils constricting violently, knowing that he could not get a bargain from him, he turned around and said in a miserable voice to the emperor.

"All of you are the pillars of the country, and I am very pleased with this. But when you talk about it, it's really inappropriate to do it above the court. General Kong, after you go back, you will think about it behind closed doors, copy the national law a hundred times, and send it to my health hall three days later. ”

"Your Majesty!" General Kong wanted to say something, but the emperor waved his hand: "Retreat!" After speaking, he got up and left the hall amid the farewell of the courtiers below.

"A mere martial artist, and he dares to compete with me. After the emperor left, Dongfang squinted his eyes and looked at General Kong, and said in a strange manner, seeing him clenching his fists and glaring at him, he quickly shrank back, and then said with a stiff neck: "What's the matter? You still want to beat me? A martial artist is a martial artist, and he has no other skills." ”

The minister who had just spoken for Dongfang above the court walked to his side and chuckled: "Director Dongfang, let's not delay General Kong's precious time." After all, others are no better than us, and they have to copy the laws of the country. ”

Dongfang laughed a few times: "That's what I said, then we won't delay General Kong to copy it." After all, a hundred times the national law is not too much, but it is not too little. For some rough people who have never read a book, they may not be able to finish it in three days and three nights. With that, he turned and left the hall with the minister.

General Kong looked at the backs of the two people leaving, clenched his fists tightly, and gritted his teeth. "This kind of villain who can only get power is favored, which is really a misfortune for the country. General Yu, Kong Yuran is useless, and he can't rush to the front line to share your worries. The safety of Jiangshan Sheji depends on you, please be sure to hold on. ”

"My lord, I have already negotiated with the patriarch of She Chi, and their conditions are spirit beast mounts and women, both of which are within the scope of our previous considerations. In a small garden thousands of miles west of Juntan, a man in black stood respectfully on the edge of the pond and greeted a tall woman in front of him.

"Well done," said the woman, dressed in a dark blue robe, her long dark red hair coiled high in a bun, her long narrow eyes quietly looking at the water in front of her, and her slender hands sprinkled a few grains into the pond from time to time, admiring the ornamental fish in the pond competing for those grains. "Yesterday I received a tip-off that the directors of Juntanguo recently wanted to renovate their own garden, and planned to repair the Jinluan Palace, and then make a fortune from it. Hehe, our iron riders are about to step on their faces, these comfortable and lascivious guys are still thinking about how to make money, what a group of stupid guys that make people love~"

"Your Excellency is thoughtful, this time we are well prepared, not only secretly training a large number of elite soldiers, but also uniting the Shechi tribe. And according to the report of my subordinates, last night I saw Gu Dan return to the border of Juntan alone, and he seemed to be seriously injured, presumably the negotiations with the Tatu tribe were very unsmooth. The man in black lowered his head slightly, and said with a little excitement in his tone.

"Oh, that's a bonus. The woman said softly, "The main reason why we didn't negotiate with Tatu was because we didn't have enough manpower, so we had to give priority to negotiating with Shechi, who was closer to us. Originally, he was ready for Tatu to reconcile with Juntan, but now it seems that there is no need. She pondered for a moment, then turned her head to the man and said, "Zhao Shengwen, you will go to the royal capital tonight, take my token, go to the regent, and inform him to come to me before noon tomorrow, I have something important to talk to him." ”

"This... The man hesitated for a moment, then replied apprehensively, "My lord, is it a little inappropriate to let the Lord Regent come to you?" It's better for you to go to the royal capital in person. ”

The woman raised her eyebrows, and said in a cold voice: "Let you go, what are you grinding?" I am afraid that Gai Yin will sentence you for the crime of collision, and I will cut you down with a sword? I am here now to plan this important matter of the country, and I can't go to the royal capital before the matter is over. Ask Gai Yin yourself, if I go to him in person and delay things, can he afford it?"

"Yes, yes, what the adults said is extremely true, I was abrupt. I'll leave now, and if I travel overnight, I'll be able to reach the royal capital tonight." The man's heart tightened, he apologized again and again, and then turned around and left.

The woman watched him leave, raised her head to look at the bright moon in the night sky, and a smile of control appeared on her delicate face: "In this way, Jun Tan is isolated and defenseless. They even continue to be harassed by Tatu and threatened by Melco to the south. Hehe, this time it can be said that the time and place are favorable, and our plan for Juntan is inevitable. ”
