Chapter 136: Like Spring to Friends, Like Winter to Enemies (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The inner fort area renamed Snow Castle from the Daimyo's Mansion.

The original "Taizheng Pavilion" was very deserted, but now it has been renovated again, and it has become a little more popular.

Originally, the Taiseikaku was the office of the Taisei Minister.

The Minister of the Imperial Government is a non-permanent official position, with a fixed number of members, who is responsible for assisting the lord of the country, the prime minister of national affairs, and is an example for hundreds of officials, which is equivalent to "Taishi" and "Prime Minister".

But in fact, in the history of the Snow Country, there are very few people who have been able to serve as the Minister of Imperial Affairs.

However, after Fenghua Xiaoxue succeeded to the position of the lord of the country, he filled the position of the minister of the Taizheng who had been vacant for a long time.

Some courtiers inquired several times, but still knew very little about the information of the new minister.

I only know that it is the man who put on the crown for His Royal Highness Xiaoxue and is known as "the permanent standing of the country".

At this time, inside the Taizheng Pavilion.

Looking at the girl in front of him, he said with a smile in his face: "Aren't you afraid that those old guys will talk to you again?" ”

"Uh-huh~ The old people are all kind."

Fenghua Xiaoxue shook her head and chuckled: "It's inevitable that they will nag a little when they get older, if they like to say, let them go, and there will be no loss." ”

It has now been a week since her succession ceremony.

For the subjects of the Snow Country, this may be a very important event.

However, for the five powerful powers, which are transcendent and powerful, it is only a symbolic dispatch of envoys to congratulate them.

Other than that, I didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, to outsiders, this is nothing more than a change of power in the Snow Country.

Some of the officials who were betrayed by the persecution of the wind and flowers were not exterminated by the face numb, but all of them were transferred to positions that were "suitable" to them.

The troops of the Snow Country are made up of ordinary soldiers and snow ninjas who know how to use chakra.

The faction led by the Avalanche has all been wiped out by Akatsuki, and the other part is being imprisoned in a cell for reform.

Naturally, the remaining Snow Shinobi were all taken over and officially incorporated into the Snow Country's troops, continuing to serve the construction of the Snow Country.

This is something that Mien Ma and Fenghua Xiaoxue know.

As for those courtiers with evil intentions, Snow Shinobi......

Boom! Knock knock!

There was a sudden knock on the door from outside.

"Please come in."

Wait until the voice of the face numb falls.

The masked Uchiha Shisui walked into the room and said in a respectful tone, "Lord, those people have already confessed. ”

With that, he handed the intelligence scroll in his hand to Mian Ma.

"Is it so quick to confess? I really think highly of them. ”

Mian Ma flipped through the scroll, looked at the names on it, and couldn't help but laugh: "It's completely no different from the person I guessed." ”

Although the succession ceremony is heavily guarded and screened.

The attendants, ministers, officials, and people who participated in the ceremony all underwent a series of physical examinations.

But Mian Ma had already guessed that there would definitely be fools who did not give up and did things at the succession ceremony.

It's just that I didn't expect their reaction to be so slow, and I didn't make up my mind to do it until the end of the ceremony.

As a result, I didn't have time to get close to the wind and snow.

was in a hurry to see the lively noodles, in front of all the subjects, with lightning speed.

When discovered, the assassin was about to commit suicide by taking poison, but his chin and arms were instantly removed by the facial numbness, and the poison pills in his teeth were pulled out.

Then he was asked by Uchiha Shisui about the main messenger behind the scenes.

"Now that it's all explained, let's clean up the people on it."

After that, Mian Ma seemed to think of something, and added with a smile: "By the way, don't forget to nationalize their property." ”

"If you want to innovate technology and systems, the financial pressure on Snow Country is not small."

The fate of those who harbored evil intentions was judged by him in this joking tone.

"Yes."

The Uchiha didn't do anything unusual, but leaned over slightly and responded, "Then, I'll take my leave first." ”

Wait until he's gone.

Mian Ma keenly noticed the hesitation on Fenghua Xiaoxue's face on the side.

"Xiaoxue, for the emperor, you don't want to have the kindness of a woman."

He touched her head gently: "Treat our friends as warm as spring, and our enemies as ruthless as winter." ”

That's what he's always done.

Xiaoxue only hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement with his treatment.

A satisfied smile flashed across his numb face.

This is also the reason why he chose the land of snow as the base of "Akatsuki".

The five major countries with relatively well-established systems cannot allow the uncontrolled "Akatsuki" to wander within their control.

Only the Snow Country, which focuses on the development of "Chakra Technology", has the soil for the growth of "Akatsuki".

Most importantly.

To some extent, Feng Hua Futao has helped face Ma lay a good starting point during his reign.

After the military came to power, he embezzled the funds of the national treasury to develop military power without authorization, which directly violated the interests of the aristocratic forces of the Snow Country.

But the wind and the waves are not as easy to talk as the wind and the snow.

Directly using violent and cruel means, he eliminated all the nobles who opposed him, and greatly dealt a blow to the power and power of the nobles of the Snow Country.

Fenghua Xiaoxue was able to successfully ascend to the position of the lord of the Snow Country, and "Akatsuki" was able to meddle in the affairs and power of the Snow Country, thanks to this wave of operations of the Wind Flower Fury.

If you replace those greedy nobles, you will not allow your "cake" to be divided by others.

Of course, if the nobles are not honest, they don't mind a more thorough purge.

After all, he is now the "elder brother" who wears a crown for the lord of the country.

"That's right, Elder Brother!"

Fenghua Xiaoxue seemed to think of something, took off the hexagonal crystal around her neck and said, "This should be useful to my brother, so let's put it in your hand." ”

"Hexagonal Crystal...... No, the Stone of Greer? ”

The numb brow furrowed slightly, and finally a smile appeared.

"A gentleman doesn't take away people's favors, this is a gift from your father, how can I accept it."

With that, he got up again and put the hexagonal crystal back on Xiaoxue's neck.

"But ......"

Although Xiao Xue's heart was warm, she still hesitated: "Brother, don't you need this ore to do research?" ”

From the previous discussion, she also learned a little bit about this ore called the Stone of Greer.

An important thing that can take the military power of the Snow Country to the next level.

If it was said that in the past, it was with the attitude of being rich and peaceful, then after the rebellion of the wind and flowers, the once naΓ―ve wind and flowers Xiaoxue also realized the importance of military strength.

Now that Snow Country has boarded the big ship of "Akatsuki", you can imagine the pressure that Snow Country will face in the future.

They are already grasshoppers on a rope.

"Yes, I do."

Mian Ma nodded, but shook his head with a smile and said, "But this little bit is just better than nothing, and nothing can be researched." ”

"Now that the situation in the Snow Country has stabilized, I'm going to go outside and look for Greer ore."
