The other members of the cabinet were not present, only Jing Hongchen and Huo Yuhao were here.

As soon as Jing Hongchen saw Huo Yuhao, he said solemnly: "Huo Yuhao, you have taken too big a step. ”

"You have just succeeded to the throne, and your foundation in the DPRK and China is unstable, so you change the law with such fanfare, how much resistance will you face?"

"Even if it is me and Mingdetang, we can't be the dominant family in the court, do you think that those worshippers and legion commanders will obey me in their hearts if they don't play impeachment?"

"Don't you see Ye Yulin's eyes looking at me, do you think he is willing to listen to me?"

For the purpose of avoiding suspicion and serving the public, the cabinet members also had to include some veteran ninth-level soul masters and important ministers, and Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin was one of them. His qualifications and strength are not inferior to Jing Hongchen, and it is unlikely that he will be willing to listen to Jing Hongchen's instructions without being resentful.

Huo Yuhao smiled, and said to Jing Hongchen absently: "Hongchen Shoufu, take it easy." Now there is no Sun and Moon Emperor Xu Sheng, only cabinet member Huo Yuhao, and I still have to obey your arrangement. ”

Jing Hongchen was made to laugh and cry by his words, sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea, and tasted it.

After taking a few sips of tea, he said slowly: "The Soul Master Group of the Hand of the Protector is only loyal to the royal family, and they previously thought that Xu Tianran was orthodox, but now that Kong Lao is supporting you, there is no need to worry about orthodoxy." ”

"The third prince has no ambition to fight for power now, so he doesn't have to worry too much. That group of civilian officials can't make any big waves, and now it seems that the situation is stable, but you have to solve the problem of controlling the army. ”

Jing Hongchen's tone was quite serious.

"I warn you, the leader of every soul master regiment is promoted step by step from the team leader, and his prestige in the army is extremely high. If you dare to order them to step down today, they will dare to mutiny tomorrow. ”

Huo Yuhao was silent for a long time, and said lightly: "Hongchen Hall Master, what do you think?" ”

He didn't call Lord Jing Hongchen Shoufu anymore, the title of hall master seemed to lower his rank, but it narrowed the distance between the two.

The issue of the army does not need to be reminded by Jing Hongchen again and again, and it is also what he has always attached the most importance to.

Jing Hongchen frowned: "You also saw it today, the glorious Grand Duke of the north launched a rebellion and wanted to establish his own principality. Of course, he is not to be feared, but if the hand of the protector rebels, do you know what the consequences will be? ”

Huo Yuhao said: "The hands of the protector are all located in Mingdu, and I am confident that I can suppress them." ”

To some extent, he was more intimidating than Xu Tianran, who had the support of the two dragons and leaves, because the Holy Spirit Sect and Xu Tianran only had a temporary partnership, and Beidi Douluo would always stand behind him.

Jing Hongchen persevered: "It's useless for you to just hold back, you have to ensure that they are obedient!" ”

Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought when he heard this, he thought of a few people, and said: "Hongchen Hall Master, send some Mingde Hall graduates to the army, I think Ji Jiechen's character should be very suitable for military life." ”

After thinking about it seriously, Jing Hongchen said: "It can only be like this, but the promotion of the army must not be urgent, and there must be military merit and prestige." ”

After pondering for a while, he thought: "This counterinsurgency is a good opportunity to accumulate military merits and prestige, or other wars can also quickly accumulate military merits. ”

As he spoke, Jing Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao and said lightly: "But for now, it seems that you are going to coexist peacefully with Heavenly Soul Xingluo." ”

Huo Yuhao nodded honestly and admitted: "Yes, Hongchen Hall Master, I will not take the initiative to provoke a war, and in the future, the border with Heavenly Soul Xingluo will be opened to trade and build a trade-friendly city." ”

"My national focus is the word 'harmony.'"

Jing Hongchen fell silent again when he heard this.

The Sun and Moon Empire is the strongest, and it can fight three enemies with one, if the Sun and Moon Monarch signs a treaty and promises not to start a war, then the Three Kingdoms of Douluo will gladly accept it. The entire Douluo Continent will usher in a brief period of peace.

Huo Yuhao was born in Xingluo, and it was impossible for him to allow the Sun and Moon Empire to start a war.

But Jing Hongchen still has a trace of blood in his heart to fight for the Sun and Moon Empire to unify the continent.

It's just that he is now completely as prosperous as Huo Yuhao, and he can't have the slightest disagreement. If Huo Yuhao's identity is revealed, the Hongchen family will inevitably lose everything.

Jing Hongchen remembered a long-ago figure, and the father of the vegetable head Xu He, the elder brother of the old emperor. At the beginning, he was also a master and faction, and he believed that soul guides should not be used in war.

It's just that such a weak ruler has a miserable end.

But Huo Yuhao feels very strange to Jing Hongchen, although he also advocates peace, but there is a strong ambition hidden in him, which is completely different from Caitou's father.

Jing Hongchen sighed and said, "No matter what, if you go outside, you must first settle inside, and the top priority now is to consolidate your foundation in the sun and moon." As long as the foundation is strong enough, the time will be real. ”

After discussing important government affairs in detail for a while, Jing Hongchen took a sip of tea and changed the topic to a relaxed topic.

"Huo Yuhao, do you remember the civil official who had to sue every day in the morning?" Jing Hongchen seemed to have thought of something interesting, and his eyes were smiling.

Huo Yuhao was very impressed by the silver-bearded old man: "Remember, what's wrong?" ”

Jing Hongchen smiled: "Just now came out of the news, he thinks that the establishment of this cabinet is deviant, and he connived at my Mingde Hall to lean towards the government and the opposition, and the family is dominant, and now he plans to go on a hunger strike to protest." ”

"If this cabinet is not abolished, he will not eat for a day."

Huo Yuhao was also happy when he heard this, and sneered: "Crying day and night, can you cry to death?" The Hongchen Hall Master remembered that during his hunger strike, he sent people to sell barbecue in front of his mansion three times a day, and remembered to fan all the incense to his house to see how long he could endure it. ”

Sure enough, he guessed correctly, in addition to playing and kneeling, what these civil officials could do was go on a hunger strike and hit the pillar.

However, there were a few ministers who he still unexpectedly had a good impression, and he dared to speak outright to him in the court, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, so he looked righteous and awe-inspiring. He was also happy to debate with them, and he was a pastime.

Even Jing Hongchen couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, Huo Yuhao was a little too unkind.

Huo Yuhao pinched his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "Hongchen Hall Master, do you think I am acting like a tyrant?" ”

Jing Hongchen didn't expect Huo Yuhao to suddenly ask like this, shook his head and said: "Although you insist on going your own way and trying your best to set up a cabinet against the public, you can tolerate the voices of the ministers, and the name of a tyrant is far from being called." ”

Huo Yuhao asked again: "Then when Xu Tianran was in power, was there so much opposition?" ”

Jing Hongchen shook his head again: "No." ”

Huo Yuhao asked curiously: "In that case, why do so many people not oppose Xu Tianran, but oppose me?" ”

After thinking about it carefully, Jing Hongchen replied: "Because Xu Tianran is really a tyrant. ”

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled self-deprecatingly.

It's really funny, in the face of countless murderous tyrants, they are all careful not to say the wrong thing, and when a new emperor who is a little more merciful comes out, they all come out and speak freely.

However, he doesn't need to deal with those ministers all the time, and before long, the identity of the new emperor of the sun and moon will have to be retreated and cultivated, and he will be completely delegated to the cabinet to deal with court affairs. And he, Huo Yuhao, has become one of the members of the cabinet think tank.

Next, he will represent the Sun and Moon Empire as envoys to the Star Luo and the Heavenly Soul Empire, bringing the Sun and Moon Empire's peaceful foreign policy.

Jing Hongchen returned to the topic of the army and muttered: "It is impossible for the strongest under the Brilliant Grand Duke to reach the level of the Eight Rings, I can arrange for Juchen and other students who are interested in joining the army to enter the army and go to quell the rebellion." ”

"As long as you accumulate enough military merit and prestige, and your strength is enough, after the previous corps commander retires, you can justifiably ascend to the position."

"As for those old legion commanders, they can be promoted and demoted in the open, granted the title of duke, and enter the worship hall."

The general process is preliminarily drawn up, but it will take a long time to fully grasp the strength of the army.

"Military ......"

Huo Yuhao thought to himself in his heart, and suddenly thought of a good thing.

Eradicating the Evil Soul Master definitely means a lot of military merit, and he knows exactly where the Holy Spirit Sect's base camp is.

Demon Forest.

The Holy Spirit Sect, he must be eradicated, and he doesn't need those credits, all of them can be given to Mingde Hall.

"Let's just arrange it for the time being."

Huo Yuhao nodded: "Hongchen Hall Master, it's just that there is a word in it that needs to be changed." ”

"What word?"

"Counterinsurgency." Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice, "I prefer to call it liberation. ”

"When the time comes, I will personally preside over the situation and avoid unnecessary casualties."

"The army must have the discipline of the army, and I don't want to see such a thing as burning, killing and looting after victory."

Jing Hongchen was slightly stunned and nodded solemnly.

Huo Yuhao leaned back, took out a soul guide cigarette and took a puff, and said melancholy: "War always kills people, and senseless dead people are always bad." I don't understand why the Sun Moon Empire has such a strong national strength, so I didn't think that using other methods to unify the continent could pull the other three countries for four thousand years. ”

He didn't understand why in a world ruled by soul masters, there was still a need for ordinary people's armies to be meaningless cannon fodder.

Jing Hongchen was puzzled and asked: "The land is naturally fought inch by inch with artillery fire, how can there be a second method?" ”

The corners of Huo Yuhao's mouth hooked, he sat up straight, and looked at Jing Hongchen with a smile: "Hongchen Hall Master, what do you think is the fundamental reason why the sun and moon are not defeated by the Douluo Three Kingdoms?" ”

Speaking of this topic, Jing Hongchen also became serious and said: "Naturally, it is because our previous soul guide level and top powerhouses are not as good as Douluo soul masters, but with the development of the times, we will soon be able to smooth out this gap and surpass it, just in our generation." ”

There was a flame in his eyes.

Huo Yuhao asked: "Then who do you think is the biggest opponent that Sun and Moon face if they want to conquer the mainland?" ”

He pulled out a huge map of the continent and laid it out on the table.

Jing Hongchen decisively pointed to the junction of the Three Kingdoms of Star Luo Heavenly Soul and Dou Ling, in a separately divided area in the west of the Star Dou Great Forest: "Naturally, it is Shrek Academy. ”

"Yes, it's Shrek Academy."

Huo Yuhao nodded and admitted, "Red Dust Hall Master, what do you think of Shrek Academy?" ”

Jing Hongchen gave a very high evaluation: "The holy land and spiritual totems of all soul masters in the whole continent, there are countless strong people, and they are all echoed among the three countries of the mainland, and they are worthy of the name of the number one force in the mainland." ”

Even in the Sun and Moon royal family, there are quite a few spirit Shreks.

One of Xu Tianran's dreams after the unification of the continent was to keep Shrek Academy and study in the uniform of Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao said: "If the Sun and Moon Empire intends to unify the continent by force, it will inevitably face the Three Kingdoms Alliance under the command of Shrek Academy. The Ontology Sect is the protector sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and it will never sit idly by. ”

Jing Hongchen shook his head and said confidently: "As long as it accumulates for a few more years, no matter how many coalition forces there are on the frontal battlefield, it will not be the opponent of my Sun and Moon army." ”

"But the Red Dust Hall Master, you should know that the advantage of the three continents is not in the frontal battlefield, but in the top combat power above the Title Douluo." Huo Yuhao's tone changed, and he threw out a question, "If the top powerhouses of the Three Kingdoms come to Mingdu to collectively blow themselves up, will the Sun and Moon Empire be able to stop it?" ”

Jing Hongchen did not answer. In fact, they have already had their own guesses about this question, but no one knows what the real answer to the question is before the day when you are alive or dead.

Poison Immortal, Long Xiaoyao, Ye Xishui, these peerless powerhouses can resist one or two of Mingdu's defenses, but if they all come together, there is only one ending that Mingdu is razed to the ground.

"Could it be that you have any good way to deal with Shrek Academy?" Jing Hongchen squinted slightly, and his sharp eyes looked directly at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao stood up, a frivolous smile on his face.

"Red Dust Hall Master, I used to be a student of Shrek Academy, I can't do this kind of thing like throwing a ninth-level soul guide cannonball to Shrek City, and I don't want to fight each other with a sword until I have to. But I do have a very feasible scheme, would you be interested in hearing about it? ”

Jing Hongchen's curiosity has been completely suspended: "I want to hear about it." ”

Huo Yuhao first asked a question: "What do you think is the fundamental reason why Shrek Academy is so influential?" ”

"Nature is the heritage of its inheritance for thousands of years." Jing Hongchen replied in a deep voice.

He has been exposed to Shrek Academy since he was born, and he regards Shrek Academy as his biggest rival in life, and investigates it deeply.

"Do you think it's just a simple foundation? But I think there are many other objective elements. ”

Huo Yuhao took out a red pen and drew a circle around Shrek Academy on the map.

"In my opinion, Shrek Academy also has a unique geographical advantage."

Geographical advantage?

Jing Hongchen felt a little novel about this explanation, and began to think quickly: "Shrek City is located at the junction of the three kingdoms and is an important trade hub. It is adjacent to the Star Dou Great Forest in the east, which is rich in resources. ”

"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded, "And the most important thing is that in this place, you can maximize the influence of Shrek Academy and radiate the Three Kingdoms." Only the best geniuses in the Three Kingdoms can get a letter of recommendation to study at Shrek, which ensures a steady stream of high-quality students from Shrek Academy. ”

"Hmm." Jing Hongchen did not object.

Huo Yuhao continued to analyze: "In other words, on the surface, Shrek Academy only has a small city. But in fact, it is an unbreakable organization jointly forged by the elites of the three continents and inherited for 10,000 years. ”

"In other words, facing Shrek Academy is to face the accumulation of ten thousand years of Heavenly Soul, Dou Ling, and the Three Kingdoms of Xingluo at the same time. If the Sun and Moon Empire attacked, it would be very difficult. ”

His tone became higher and higher, and the speed of his speech also increased unconsciously, making the curiosity in Jing Hongchen's heart stronger and stronger: "Then what is your solution?" ”

Huo Yuhao grinned and asked, "Red Dust Hall Master, look at the map, what other position is not lost to Shrek Academy?" ”

Jing Hongchen was stunned for a moment and looked at the map again.

"You mean ......?"

"That's right!"

Huo Yuhao used a red pen to draw a circle at the junction of the other three countries, that is, between the sun and the moon, the heavenly soul and the star Luo.

Jing Hongchen immediately understood what he meant, and looked at the map in a daze.

"Hongchen Hall Master, if you look at the problems of the entire continent from a macro perspective, you will sometimes have some wonderful ideas."

"Only the organization can fight against the organization, and the Sun and Moon Empire can't defeat three countries, so it will be divided and co-opted."

"Only by combining vertical and horizontal can we defeat the strong with the weak. The combination of the strong and the strong can be more able to bully the weak. ”

Huo Yuhao said with a sneer: "Here, at the junction of the three kingdoms of the Sun, Moon, Heavenly Soul, and Star, a new city will be established, which will be jointly managed and built by the three kingdoms. ”

"There is to be a largest college in the city, to be run jointly by the three countries. Sun and Moon will send the best teachers to teach here, and then negotiate with Heavenly Soul and Xingluo, whether they want rare metals or high-level soul guides, they will promise them, Sun and Moon only need to mention one condition. ”

"Let them send the letter of recommendation that was originally sent to Shrek here."

"The sooner this ploy is contrained, the better, preferably four thousand years ago."

Jing Hongchen opened his mouth half-open, speechless.

Now Huo Yuhao has an indescribable momentum, he is no longer a teenager who relies on simulated disguise, but has become the real ruler of the Sun and Moon Empire.

If this plan is really implemented, it will be digging the roots of Shrek Academy.

Among the four countries of the continent, the Douling Empire is the weakest, and the Sun and Moon Empire puts down its posture and forms a new three-country alliance with the Heavenly Soul Star Luo after squeezing out the Douling Empire, which will bring a huge amount of resources.

If trade is opened, this junction will definitely surpass Shrek City and become the new trading center of the mainland.

The new academy established on this basis will have both advanced soul guide technology from the Sun and Moon Empire, as well as soul master geniuses from Heavenly Soul and Star Luo, the only thing lacking is the accumulation of foundation and time.

Jing Hongchen quickly came back to his senses, and immediately discovered many loopholes in this plan: "To put it lightly, wouldn't this give the foundation of my Sun and Moon Empire to Heavenly Soul and Xingluo for free?" ”

"After Heavenly Soul and Star Luo have learned advanced soul guide technology, what advantage does my Sun Moon Empire have over them?"

"And how can Heavenly Soul and Xingluo guarantee that the one sent must be a soul master? Will Shrek Academy sit idly by? ”

"What's more, four thousand years ago, the Sun and Moon Empire lost the Holy War, how could they be willing to cooperate with the Heavenly Soul Star Luo to jointly run a school? I think you're a fool! ”

Facing Jing Hongchen's series of rebuttals, Huo Yuhao spread his hands innocently: "Hongchen Hall Master, you only asked me how to deal with Shrek Academy, but you didn't ask me how to deal with the other three kingdoms." ”

"If the Sun and Moon Empire had carried out this plan four thousand years ago, I am afraid that within a thousand years, no, within a hundred years, the influence of Shrek Academy would have been greatly reduced."

"Without the supply of high-quality students, four thousand years later, it is estimated that Shrek Academy has long been reduced to a second-rate college."

"If you think two allies are too many, one is enough. Two-on-two must also be a crushing situation. ”

"You ......" Jing Hongchen was speechless for a while, and scolded directly, "TMD, dare to entertain the hall master!" ”

He really wanted to give Huo Yuhao a slap.

The purpose of dealing with Shrek Academy is to conquer the three continents, otherwise why deal with them?

As a result, Huo Yuhao's strategy was good, and Shrek Academy dealt with it, but Heavenly Soul and Xingluo were strengthened, isn't the result still the same?

Huo Yuhao was smiling, seemingly joking with Jing Hongchen, but he was very serious in his heart.

The junction of the Sun and Moon, the Heavenly Soul and the Star Luo is the northern end of the Ming Dou Mountain Range, and if this place is filled in and a city is established, it will definitely become the new center of the continent.

If the ancestors of the Sun and Moon Empire four thousand years ago really thought of a similar plan and made all the preparations to slowly divide the three continents, the current situation on the continent must be completely different.

Is it the Sun and Moon Empire that cannibalized one by one after dividing the Three Kingdoms?

Or is it to maintain the situation of the separation of the four kingdoms, but the Douling Empire is gradually weakening?

Or is it because of the development of soul guide technology, the four countries have established a mutual deterrent?

Or because of the national integration after the exchange, the Douluo Continent finally formed a federation-like form of government?

Nobody knows......

Jing Hongchen had similar thoughts for a moment, and he suddenly guessed whether Huo Yuhao really planned to do this.

If such a city were to be built, it would certainly face no less resistance than it would have been when a cabinet was established.

Besides, how could the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire agree?

Jing Hongchen didn't think about it anymore, looked at the time, got up and said, "It's time for me to go back to Mingde Hall, I have now tried my best to let Wu Lao and Ziwen take over the affairs of Mingde Hall, but I still can't do without me." ”

The position of the head of the cabinet is already a lot of affairs, but he, the head of Mingde Hall, still has to leave a small amount of leisure time for Mingde Hall.

"Isn't the reconstruction of Mingde Hall basically completed?" Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows, "The rest of the things are not difficult, what is there that you can't lack?" ”

Jing Hongchen frowned and sighed: "It's a research plan, the biggest loss of this explosion is not only the damage to the underground base, but also the lack of data from major ongoing research." ”

"Almost all of the major researches that have been invested in a lot of manpower and material resources have been burned, which means that everything has to be started from scratch."

Jing Hongchen gritted his teeth, his heart was bleeding every time he thought of this, this was the research result of countless days and nights of Mingdetang, and how many difficulties he overcame to accumulate data and finished products.

Huo Yuhao frowned and said, "Including the No. 1 plan you have been mentioning." ”

"Yes, but much more." Jing Hongchen said heartbrokenly, "There is also Project Six, a long-range soul guide vehicle, and a new type of dual ......."

Just when he was counting the treasures, he saw Huo Yuhao in front of him with a sinister smile on his face, and above his right hand, he was pinching a thick pile of manuscript paper, and he shook it ostentatiously towards the mirror Hongchen.

Jing Hongchen's brain went blank for an instant, and then he pounced on Huo Yuhao like a hungry wolf, reaching out to grab the paper in his hand.

"Give it to me!" He yelled, grabbed a piece of paper and put it in front of his eyes, on which was Mingdetang's special encrypted text, and the content of the text was exactly ...... Project One!

This is the research record of Project One.

Not just Project One, but other experiments and research results that should have been reduced to ashes in the explosion.

"Huo Yuhao, you ......"

Jing Hongchen's eyes widened, and he looked at Huo Yuhao sluggishly, and his hands began to tremble unconsciously.

Huo Yuhao said gloomily: "Hongchen Hall Master, I'm not very honest. ”

"Relying on my own mental detection, I like to peek at some confidential documents."

"I'm not satisfied with peeking at me, I still like to write it down secretly and watch it slowly by myself."

Jing Hongchen's expression was very exciting, and he couldn't tell whether he was angry, crying or laughing. He covered his face with the manuscript paper in his right hand, and all his expressions were condensed together, turning into a series of wild laughter.

……

Mingde Hall, underground base.

Keke was holding her proud little chin up, humming a cheerful little song, and carrying two meals in her hands.

She walked past a row of lab tables, and the students who knew her next to her couldn't help but cast a hint of envy.

The current Keke is amazing, and her mentor Xuan Ziwen became a transcendent cabinet member in one fell swoop after the new emperor succeeded to the throne.

Although his ambition is not in the government but in research, and he has almost never been to the court, this level of identity means that he has entered the highest authority of the Sun and Moon Empire, and even his student Keke has risen with the tide.

Keke can answer the question "What is it like for a tutor to become an academician during school".

She walked through the underground base to one of the largest testing areas, pulled out a nameplate and walked inside.

There was no one else in the test area, only a woman lying on the test table with her head propped up, in a daze.

She was no longer dressed in luxurious palace clothes, but in an ordinary white coat, her hair had become simple long straight hair, and her eyes under her glasses were dull.

Zhong Ling was originally beautiful and lovely, but now he has no vitality.

Keke put down the food in his hand and said softly: "Tangerine, let's eat first, you haven't been out of the test area for two days." ”

"Well, Keke, thank you." Tangerine replied angrily.

Keke was just about to continue to say something, and another person walked into the test area at this time.

Keke hurriedly said, "Teacher Xuan, are you here?" ”

Xuan Ziwen glanced at the orange and said lightly: "Tangerine, let go of your grievances, the new emperor is the lord and faction, and he will soon send an envoy to Xingluo." I am afraid that during his reign, the war will not be waged again. ”

"From now on, you can do research here with peace of mind."

After that, he stopped caring about oranges and continued to devote himself to his own research.

Tangerine's whole body was like an electric shock, and he was silent with his head propped up.

Keke looked at her from the side, and persuaded softly: "Eat oranges, there is your favorite shrimp fried eel today, it won't taste good when it's cold." ”

Tangerine picked up the chopsticks from the table, his voice was still muffled, but he could hear a little more spirit.

"Teacher Xuan, I can make a new engraving for you in the evening."

After thinking about it again, I let Tangerine quit, this character can be said to be the most active character in the whole Dou Er, and it is a tragic abstract collection of bad taste and outrageous plots written by San Shao himself.

In fact, if she substitutes this character and writes it completely according to the character of the original book, she will never be willing to give up revenge, and will make some kind of outrageous plot that will be scolded when she writes it. But I'd better let her go offline like this, which can be regarded as a good ending.

(End of chapter)
