"Really?" said Twilight lightly, but there was no expression on her face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ning Yue looked at Twilight Snow and suddenly smiled lightly, there seemed to be nothing in the world that was troublesome and dignified in Twilight Snow's heart, except for herself!

"I have always been puzzled by the inheritance of your master, and I have also investigated the martial arts characteristics of your master. In addition to the Taishang Forgetfulness and Psychic Sword Dictionary that you practiced, the Nine Transformations of the Heavenly Silkworm practiced by Yingying, and the Immortal Wisp Yanluo cultivated by Peony were all from one person. Don't...... Your sect was handed down by the Nine Heavens Xuannu fifty years ago? If so, then it really has a fate with me, and so does my Qin Heart Sword Spirit. ”

Qian Duxue arched in Ning Yue's arms with attachment, her palm gently pressed against Ning Yue's heart, and she could vaguely feel the gauze covering there, "Although my master has a relationship with the Nine Heavens Xuannu, it shouldn't be." The Nine Heavens Xuannu is too ethereal, and the rumors about her on the rivers and lakes are like miracles......"

Ning Yue leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed her eyes slightly. When the sun had just set, Ning Yue's carriage drove into the territory of Zhongzhou.

Even though it's a hot summer day, the morning air is still very refreshing. The days were long and the nights were short, and by the time it was just past dawn, the sky was already bright. Ning Yue didn't disturb Qian Duxue and Yingying, and sat on the official yuan early and walked to the palace. Ning Yue came at a good time, today is a big court meeting once every seven days.

Half a year has passed since the last court meeting, but all the officials in the capital have not forgotten Ning Yue. It's not just because Ning Yue is now famous, it's not that Ning Yue has become the highest official in the Heavenly Shogunate, the real reason is that Ning Yue is the emperor's confidant and the emperor's most trusted new nephew.

The royal family is withering, which seems to be a curse. The Great Zhou Dynasty was established for 500 years, and it seems that there are not many heirs of each generation of kings. Only Emperor Rongren was born, and Emperor Qiancheng gave birth to fourteen sons. I thought that generation would break the curse of the scarcity of royal blood, but in the end it still didn't. Ten of Emperor Qiancheng's fourteen sons died one after another without descendants, which is not a tragedy.

The withering of people has led to the infinite relaxation of the standards of the royal family, and now, as long as there is royal blood flowing on the body, it is a royal family, even if the blood is thin.

Ning Yue smiled and talked politely with the ministers, and it didn't take long for the ministers to stand in their positions one after another amid the shouts of the eunuchs.

Ning Yue suddenly felt a little embarrassed, the Great Zhou Dynasty, the civil and military courts, civil officials don't ask about military politics, and soldiers don't care about national politics. So on the left and right, one article and one martial arts. But Ning Yue is a military attache in the Heavenly Shogunate, but they are not in the military department.

In addition to the six cabinet departments, he guarded the emperor personally. After hesitating, Ning Yue slipped away and ran to the back of the civil official. As soon as he stood up, Mo Wuxian, who was dressed in a black dragon robe, had already strode out of the Qiankun Palace, followed by Mo Tianya, who was the prince. After Mo Wuxian took his seat, Mo Tianya also sat down on the prince's seat on the side.

"Long live the Martial Emperor, long live, long live, long live—"

"All the ministers are flat!" Mo Wuxian said lightly, his eyes swept over the ministers and smiled faintly, "Prime Minister, it's already summer, and the autumn harvest is coming soon." There are reports from all over Kyushu that are forecasting, how is this year's harvest, but is there anything out of the ordinary?"

"Your Majesty, today since the beginning of spring, the wind and rain have been smooth, there are no twists and turns in Kyushu, and the local government has successively sent forecast reports, and this year should be another bumper harvest year. But ......"

"But what?" Mo Wuxian asked lightly in a slightly raised voice.

The autumn harvest of grain has always been a major event of the year for the country. As long as there are no natural and man-made disasters, the imperial court will be sure to overcome all difficulties, which is also the experience accumulated by the Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years. For aspiring and aspiring emperors, Mo Wuxian attaches great importance to the annual autumn harvest.

"Just last night, the minister received an urgent report from the three prefectures in Liangzhou. For some reason, the fertile black soil fields in various parts of Liangzhou suddenly became barren, and the crops in the farmland died one after another. Moreover, there is a tendency to spread, so I think that we should respond as soon as possible and prepare for disaster relief in advance. ”

"Liangzhou? The black soil of Liangzhou has always been fertile, although it is not as good as Jiangnan that can achieve two crops a year, but the number of grain fields is several times that of Jiangnan. Liangzhou's land harvest is not good, and that is a loss to the country's capital! Xiangguo, what is the reason? Didn't the officials of the various provinces say it?

"This is also where the ministers and the Liangzhou prefectures are confused, and Liangzhou is also smooth today, and there are no natural disasters and droughts. Just a month ago, Liangzhou's grain fields were growing well, and officials from various provinces said that this year's bumper harvest would stabilize the people's hearts.

But I didn't think of it...... Your Majesty, although there is rebellion raging in Liangzhou, many people are bewitched. But most of the people still have their hearts set on the court. Xuanyin rebelled on the grounds that the court was unjustified and wantonly bewitched the people. Now that the inexplicable grain fields are dying, under the fanning of the Xuanyin rebels, the old minister is afraid that it will become more and more intense. ”

"Hmph!" Mo Wuxian said coldly, "The prefectures of Liangzhou, immediately find out the cause of the death of the grain fields?"

The Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, immediately began to dispatch money and food, and if Liangzhou became a disaster, the first disaster relief and relief was provided, and my request was that there should not be a mutiny, not a single conflict, and no one was allowed to starve to death. Understood?"

"The ministers obey the order-" As soon as the voice fell, he suddenly fell to his knees.

Mo Wuxian's eyes swept over the ministers again, and suddenly stayed on Ning Yue's body for a moment. The inexplicable meaning of this moment circulated on Ning Yue's body, making Ning Yue have a trace of bad associations in her heart.

couldn't help but shrink her neck, and Ning Yue buried her body deeper. And Mo Tianya also saw Ning Yue, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he winked at Ning Yue. However, Ning Yue lowered his head, all of this was ignored by him.

"Some time ago, I went north to Huangzhou, and brought the 300,000 forbidden soldiers who guarded the state to Wuyi, and wanted to destroy this Kyushu Wulin League that dared to defy the imperial court. However, in the end, this battle still didn't start, and I finally made an alliance with the three chapters of the Ziyu Old Dao and high-fived. Ladies and gentlemen, do you know what it is?"

"The emperor once said that the rivers and lakes and martial arts are all the people of the court, and the people are not filial, but the emperor is benevolent, long live the martial emperor, long live, long live, long live-"

"The people, benevolence, and virtue? They don't call their ministers, don't pay tribute, don't pay taxes, don't obey the law, how can the people say? Discuss the government in vain, do whatever they want, kill people and fight, and do all kinds of evil, and I must be kind to them? The reason why I don't fight is not because of benevolence, but because I can't afford to fight!"

"You can't share the worries of the emperor, the ministers are guilty, and the ministers are dead-" The ministers fell to their knees again. And the last Ning Yue, the worry in her eyes could no longer be hidden.

Feng Xiaoyu is right, the emperor is very determined to do the martial arts in the rivers and lakes, and he even did not hesitate to say it directly and openly in the court like today. If these words spread to the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that it will cause martial arts shocks again, and the city will be full of wind and rain.

But this is not Mo Wuxian's consistent style. In the last year, Mo Wuxian's concept of Jianghu martial arts was far less extreme than it is now. In the past, Mo Wuxian mainly focused on control and interference, and did not have an attitude of resolute suppression or even resolute extermination.

In a short period of time, Mo Wuxian's attitude has changed so much. If the death of the queen had no effect, if Chu Yuan's death was not catalyzed, Ning Yue would not believe it if he was killed.

Love, friends, betrayed and left one after another, which was an unbearable blow to Mo Wuxian, and it also turned him into a loner. But Ning Yue also fell into a deep worry because of this, an emperor, the king of a country, if he brought personal preferences when making decisions and looking at problems, then it would be a disaster for the country. The most ruthless emperor is not that the emperor is ruthless, but that the emperor does not allow affection.

"Waiting for ten thousand deaths? Can death solve the problem? Death is just an evasion of problems and evasion of responsibility. Mo Wuxian looked at the Manchu courtiers who were kneeling down and said coldly, "Where is Changren, the secretary of the Ministry of Works?"

"The minister is here!" Chang Ren, who was kneeling in the crowd, straightened up and responded.

"How much of the Zhenlong artillery I delivered to you has been built so far?"

"Your Majesty, Zhenlong artillery in terms of materials, craftsmanship requirements are extremely harsh, officials at all levels of the Ministry of Industry, together with the country's skilled craftsmen day and night, took more than a month to create ten artillery pieces......"

"It's only ten? Didn't I hand over all the information to you? He explained the manufacturing process of the cannon in such detail that even an ordinary blacksmith could build it step by step. The Ministry of Industry brought together the best craftsmen in the country, and it took more than a month to produce 10 pieces.

Although Lord He explained the manufacturing process of the Zhenlong artillery extremely clearly, all the key points were extremely clear. But knowing and doing it are two different things. There are many problems that still puzzle the ministers and others. The technology involved in it cannot be understood overnight.

In addition to the technical problems in manufacturing, the Zhenlong artillery also has its terrible manufacturing cost and the scrap rate of 30% makes the ministers unable to manufacture more for a while. If you want to reach mass production, it will take time for the ministers to ......"

"Time??'s world, how much time do the Great Zhou rivers and mountains still have?I don't have so much time to wait for you, and you can't afford to let the whole world wait for you. I will give you three years, and within three years, you must understand all the tricks of Zhenlong's artillery, and be able to meet the requirements for large-scale equipment of the forbidden army.

As long as I have Zhenlong artillery, my army will be a master of martial arts, and my army will be invincible. In Pingyu, it is up to me to expand my territory. Chang Ren, you have a great responsibility!"

"The minister obeys the order, and the minister is determined to thoroughly improve the craftsmanship of the Zhenlong artillery within three years......"

Ning Yue lowered her head and hid her figure deeper. Mo Wuxian's temper has become much more irritable, and this Zhenlong artillery seems to be the key to breaking the balance of force between the imperial court and the rivers and lakes.

Just imagine, if every soldier carried a cannon on his back, appeared in any place through the mountains and mountains, and fired a salvo instead of a bow and arrow? It was simply a revolution in war, a meat grinder for killing.

"Ning Yue, what is the cat doing at the back?
