Lanyan City, the political and economic center of the empire, during the war years, this rich city provided countless food, armor, blades and diseases for the front line, and now, the war situation is finally temporarily calm, the people in Lanyan City welcome the triumph of the imperial army, and when they see Qin Yin wearing the empress's robe, they are so excited that they can't speak.

Finally, the reign of the Three Kings is over, and the chaos in the world should also end.

"Is the war over?"

Lin Muyu smiled bitterly, I'm afraid it's far away, the strength of the Tianji Continent is still several times that of the Shattered Ding Realm, the defeat of the Tianji Empire's expeditionary force this time may lead to a new pattern change in the Tianji Continent, no one knows what the future will be, so they can only be cautious and cautious step by step.

Qin Yin had already changed the angel costume into the military uniform of the imperial female general, wearing a dark blue robe with golden purple flowers embroidered on it, which was the standard attire of the empress in the war era, but she always closed her eyes and followed Lin Muyu all the way to the Zetian Palace.

Behind the empress, the Imperial Forest Guards who traveled far away to fight have been reduced from more than 100 people to at least less than 30 people, very bleak, anyway, the generals of the empire are still intact, at least Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, Qin Yan, Wei Qiu, Xu Jiantao, Yong Yifan and others are still alive, these people are the cornerstone of the empire, Qin Yin knows very well, there are no soldiers to recruit again, and the famous generals are gone, so I don't know when there will be new famous generals who will stand out.

......

Zetian Temple has been cleaned in advance to make the windows bright and clean, solemn and brilliant, everyone walked slowly, entered the main hall, and did not rest, there are still many things to deal with after the war, this afternoon is destined to be very busy.

"Ministers, welcome Her Royal Highness the Empress back to court!"

Everyone knelt down one after another, even Lin Muyu, Qin Yan, and Feng Jixing, the three kings, also knelt at the front of the ministers, they were illustrious, but they were still ministers in front of Qin Yin.

"Everyone, please get even. ”

Qin Yin stood up, walked to the edge of the emperor's steps step by step, waved at everyone, and said: "I have not been in the empire for many years, everyone has worked hard all these years, it is with everyone's blood that the Qin family can still stand on this continent, I, Qin Yin, on behalf of the kings of the Qin family, thank you!"

Everyone said in unison: "Serve the empire, although there is no regret in death!"

Qin Yin faintly faced the direction of Lin Muyu and said, "Your Highness Rain." ”

Lin Muyu was stunned: "Xiao Yin?"

Qin Yin nodded, slowly knelt in front of Lin Muyu, a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and said: "Originally, Brother Ah Yu, you were a genius who could live a life of no concern about the world, but because of Xiao Yin's fetters, Brother Ah Yu, you have suffered so much for so many years, I know that it is all my fault...... You've worked hard to meet me......"

She was very moved, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she knelt deeply on the ground.

Lin Muyu hurriedly stepped forward, held her arms, and whispered: "Xiao Yin, you are crazy, you are the empress, where is the reason to bow down to the courtiers?

Qin Yin pursed her red lips: "I am not only the empress, but also your sister, and we are not monarchs and ministers." ”

"Anyway, you can't kneel on me, get up quickly. ”

"Hmm. ”

When Qin Yin stood up, Lin Muyu knelt down with peace of mind, and glared at Shangguan Jingyue with her eyes raised, she was too derelict as the chief female official, but Shangguan Jingyue also looked helpless, obviously how could she stop what Qin Yin wanted to do without cultivation.

......

Above the main hall, there were many ministers, at least more than 200 civil ministers and military generals followed Qin Yin back to the Zetian Palace, plus the original high-ranking officials of Lanyan City, there were at least 300 people standing in the main hall, densely packed together.

Feng Jixing touched his nose, feeling that Qin Yin and Lin Muyu showed off his face, and whispered: "Ah Yu, I feel that you are going to be promoted!"

"Why?" Lin Muyu was stunned.

Feng Jixing said: "His Royal Highness Yin regards you as a brother and a lover, and you are the first meritorious, if you are not promoted, who will be promoted." ”

"Rise to the x. Lin Muyu couldn't help but say a dirty word, saying: "We are all princes now, and under the emperor is the prince, the three of us are all under one person and above ten thousand people, and if we are promoted to the top of the sky, I think it is a blessing not to be demoted." ”

"Oh, why?" Feng Jixing was puzzled.

Lin Muyu whispered: "You see that there are so many ministers behind us, many of them are princes and kings from all over the world, and their troops will soon come to Lanyan City, named 'King Qin', in fact, they are taking advantage of the opportunity of the empire to ask for official positions, wait and see, Xiao Yin is back, and our three kings will definitely not last long." ”

Feng Jixing frowned: "You're right, I should have thought of this section a long time ago, they will definitely control the power of our three kings, but...... As long as we have the military power in our hands, everything will be fine. ”

"The key is that the military power is not in your hands!"

Lin Muyu said: "You see, my gentian battalion and your forbidden army together are less than 30,000 people, which is pitiful, these honest princes behind us, just find one or maybe the strength is better than us, the actual status quo is that our army has been exhausted in battle, but the strength of this group of people has remained very intact." ”

Feng Jixing clenched his fists: "It's okay, don't worry, we are gods, and you are a god with the supreme personality, they are really difficult to make things difficult for us, come to a prince and kill one, what's the big deal." ”

"Then I'm afraid the world will really be in chaos. Lin Muyu glared at him: "Brother Feng, you are too straight, try to discuss everything with me before making a decision." ”

"Ah Yu, your kid is becoming more and more cautious in doing things, no wonder the first emperor will accept you as a righteous son. ”

Qin Yan on the side coughed: "Hey, King Qin and King Xin, it's court time, you two speak quietly, cousin and everyone are watching you!"

"Ahem......"

Sure enough, Yong Yifan, Su Yu, Tang Xiaoxi and others, as well as a group of princes, were staring at Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing, the two biggest contributors to the revival of the empire, as if they had seen a ghost, it stands to reason that people who have made such immortal feats should be steady, but these two are too imprudent.

Qin Yin smiled slightly and said, "So, the court discussion will begin, right?" ”

"Yes!"

Not long after, Yong Yifan stepped forward with a jade wat in his hand and said, "Your Highness, the old minister has a performance." ”

"Whoever is going to say it. ”

Yong Yifan said: "The imperial army has been decreasing in the wars over the years, and the strength has been reduced from hundreds of thousands to only 100,000 today, the old minister believes that the new recruits recruited by the princes around the country are large in number and difficult to train, and the old minister believes that the soldiers should be drawn from the armies of the princes in various places and replenished to the regular legions of the empire, and the original structure of the legions should be restored as soon as possible. ”

Qin Yin bowed his head and said, "Well, this matter is indeed a top priority, then...... What do the princes think?"

In the crowd, a middle-aged general with a lofty weapon clenched his fists and said: "Your Highness, there is something wrong with this matter, when we recruited troops, it was because the national disaster was imminent, so the people were willing to put down farming and go to King Qin, but now that the enemy has perished, my subordinates feel that these soldiers should be returned to farming, otherwise, the empire will no longer have available military rations." ”

The person who spoke was Zhuang Yan, the Taishou of Sunset City, with more than 50,000 troops, and one of the strongest princes.

Yong Yifan couldn't help but smile and said: "Lord Zhuang Yan, if the princes all leave with their troops, then who will protect the imperial capital Lanyan City? Moreover, the imperial army urgently needs to replenish its troops, and all of you are also the courtiers of His Royal Highness, shouldn't you serve the country?"

Another old general smiled, stroked his gray beard and said: "What the public says is biased, it is the duty of the people and ministers to be loyal to the country, but we must be worthy of the king and the people of Li at the bottom, we can't ignore the life and death of the people for our own selfishness, right?"

"Lord Su Changying is really good at talking. He said stupidly.

Su Changying is the largest prince of Yunzhong Province, gathering more than 45,000 troops, some people are rumored to be the illegitimate son of Su Muyun, the Duke of Muyun, but no one knows if it is true, but now it has become a climate, and it is impossible to look down on.

Lin Muyu was a little angry, turned to look at a group of princes, and said: "Troops, to give or not to give, just one word, there are not so many twists and turns, let's say, are you willing to contribute your troops to the imperial army?"

He had invisibly used the realm of the Elephant Invisible Technique, and for a while, all the princes seemed to be in an ice cave, and they were about to run out of breath.

"Yes, of course, there is nothing to do. Su Changying spoke.

Zhuang Yan said: "But the prefectures and counties do need troops to garrison, and more than half of the soldiers have to go back to continue farming, so it is more reasonable for the subordinates to draw one percent of the troops from each vassal army to supplement the imperial military department." ”

"Ichisei?"

Qin Yinxiu frowned lightly: "What is one percent enough? Two percent, no one is allowed to violate the order, otherwise military law will be involved." ”

"Yes!"

A group of princes knelt down one after another, their faces colorless.

Qin Yin continued: "Within seven days, all soldiers must be handed over to the military department for reporting, and the officials will be rewarded according to the strength of the princes, and after seven days, the reward ceremony will be carried out. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The ministers shouted.

Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, and Tang Xiaoxi have been cold-faced, obviously, the situation seems to be no longer in the hands of Zetian Palace, all the princes have their own thoughts, and people's hearts are already in chaos.

......

In the night, a group of noble generals wearing brocade entered a big tent in the chaotic camp, it was some princes with strong troops in the Zetian Hall during the day, Zhuang Yan, Su Changying, Liu Xiyu and others were among them.
