Li Chun and the alien people were fantasizing about the better days in the future, at this time, a subordinate walked in outside the door, and after getting Li Chun's nod, he whispered to Li Chun.

Li Chun waved his hand, and then said to the alien envoy: "There is news from the palace, just now the Military Intelligence Department received the border pass secret protection, Yunzhou has been breached, and now it is confronting the empire on the border of Enshi Prefecture. And His Majesty the Emperor has just fallen ill again, and is asking someone to ask me to get the 'elixir'. Haha!"

The alien envoy's eyes rolled, and he said with compassion: "The opportunity has come!"

Palace Chambers.

Hua Mohan was standing at the head of the group of officials at this time, and said with a serious and worried face: "Your Majesty, the barbarians are powerful, and we must send more troops to support. At this time, Yunzhou has fallen, and Enshi Prefecture is afraid that it will not be guaranteed. ”

Emperor Shangguan's mind was not here at this time, and his head was full of what Li Chun had just said to himself. Time goes back to just now.

I just got sick and had a splitting headache. hurriedly sent someone to find Li Chun to ask for the elixir, but Li Chun brought the immortal master over after a long time. According to what he said, the vitality of the immortal master's alchemy has been exhausted, so this time this elixir only took so long to practice and send it.

When Shangguan Zheng heard this, he was anxious and asked, "How is that good? If the immortal master doesn't have the vitality to refine the elixir for me, if I am sick, wouldn't it... Speaking of this, Shangguan Zheng looked at the immortal master with hope and said: "Immortal master, you must find a way to save me, as long as there is a way to continue refining the elixir, I will promise you whatever you want." ”

The immortal master frowned in embarrassment, and said, "There is a way, but it costs too much money." ”

When Shangguan Zheng heard this, in order to grasp this life-saving straw, he hurriedly said: "Although the immortal master said that my Luoying Empire has been established for more than 700 years, and it is now regarded as the territory of ruling mankind, it is not easy to say anything else, this money is hoarded countless ah." ”

The immortal master shook his head and continued pretending to be profound: "Since this is the case, I will tell Your Majesty." I no longer have the Yuan Qi to refine the elixir, but I can refine it with the help of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. However, with the help of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, very harsh conditions are required, and a ninety-nine-eighty-one layer Juyuan Pagoda needs to be built. ”

"I practice gathering the vitality of heaven and earth at the top of the tower before I can refine the elixir. And the important thing is this tower, it needs to be made of pure silver, and its ladder must be made of pure gold, otherwise it will not be able to successfully gather the vitality of heaven and earth. ”

"Ahh Shangguan Zheng was also a little surprised when he heard this, but when he thought that he was ill again, he might die at any time, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, tomorrow I will let the Ministry of Finance start to mobilize gold and silver." More than 700 years ago, my Shangguan family integrated the various empires of the human race that were scattered, and there were no disputes in the territory of the human race in the past few hundred years, so I just take these gold and silver now, I don't believe that anyone dares to oppose it!"

"Your Majesty, the military report said that the border military salaries and grain and grass are also insufficient, is it that while sending troops to support, they are allocating military salaries and grain and grass to the past?" Hua Mohan just lowered his head and reported to Shangguan Zhengyu, without noticing that the people sitting on the emperor's throne were not here at all.

Shangguan Zheng was brought back to his senses by Hua Mohan's shouts, and he couldn't help frowning. Although he said so much in front of Li Chun and them, in this conference hall, he really needed to take care of what Hua Mohan said.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the Hua family was the founding father who followed the ancestors, and then was named the prince of the country, and then passed down from generation to generation. For hundreds of years, in addition to the royal family, the Hua family is the most prominent.

Although he was in the position, he didn't like someone to threaten him in the slightest, so he specifically suppressed the Xia Hua family. But more than 20 years have passed, and the Hua family is still a behemoth. Now that he has to spend countless gold and silver to build the Juyuan Pagoda, I am afraid that this Huamo Han Huaguo Guild will be the first to jump out and oppose it.

I can't openly tear my face and suppress him, not to mention that he has countless protégés of the Hua family, even the elite troops of the Hua family who are now in the western Xinjiang are all a powerful force. Moreover, Enshi Prefecture is the fiefdom of the Hua family, and more than 700 years have passed, who knows if the town guards in that state still obey the royal orders. Although the original fief was only given administrative power, and the military power was still in the hands of the royal family, but it has been hundreds of years, and the Hua family has long been deeply rooted in Enshi Prefecture, not to mention that the food and salaries to feed the town guard army are all from Enshi Prefecture.

"Your Majesty, the border is already so critical, I hope Your Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible. Hua Mohan saw that Shangguan was just sitting there in contemplation, so he had to say again.

Shangguan Zheng rubbed his forehead, knowing that what Hua Mohan said also made sense. Those barbarians have already conquered Yunzhou, and they can't do it if they don't support it. But a dozen, and manpower and financial resources, so that the construction of Juyuan Pagoda was delayed, and his own life...

Li Chun saw Shangguan hesitating there, knowing that his strategy had worked, and hurriedly gave a look to an official below.

The official bowed slightly, then took a step to the side and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that a mere barbarian is not enough to worry about. Barbarians have been disturbing the border since the early days of the empire, and it has been hundreds of years. But the barbarians never really fought against us, they didn't have that strength. Every time you come to intrude, it is nothing more than a snatch of resources. I believe that as long as there is a stalemate on the border between Enshi Prefecture and Yunzhou for a period of time, when the barbarian supplies run out and they grab enough resources, they will naturally retreat by themselves as before. ”

When Hua Mohan heard this, his heart couldn't help but catch fire. Even if Li Chun and his party usually go against me, such a military event is actually like this. I couldn't help but snort coldly and said: "It's so easy to say, confrontation for a while? When they rob enough resources? Do you know whose ones they robbed? It's the people of my Luo Ying Empire! Let them rob for a while, do you know how many people have died under their butcher's knife, and how many families will be ruined?"

After Hua Mohan finished speaking, he saluted Shangguan Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen implores to send troops to support, and dispatch grain and grass to drive the barbarians back to the grassland as soon as possible." If we delay for one day, the people of Yunzhou will have one more day of dire conditions!"

Shangguan Zheng frowned again, this Hua Mohan, every time he talks about the people of the Luo Ying Empire, he is the only one who cares about the people of the world, and he is more emperor than me. Why did the ancestors destroy another Guogong but left the Hua family?

Thinking of this, I was shocked. I quickly looked around and was relieved to find that no one was paying attention to me. This is the most secret secret of the royal family, and these secrets recorded in the secret archives of the royal family, which only the emperor is qualified to enter, must not be known by others!

At this time, the official got a glance from Li Chun, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I'm thinking about this empire here." ”

Hua Mo snorted coldly and turned around: "Then you should talk about it, how you have done this to trap the people of the border is for the sake of the empire."

The official arched his hand to Hua Mohan and said, "Grandpa Guo, I know that you have the people of the empire in mind, but if I say something disrespectful to Your Majesty, have you ever thought about it, if Your Majesty has three long and two short now, and the prince is only five years old, then young." At this time, barbarians or other races invade us, isn't our human territory chaotic?"

Hua Mohan was shocked in his heart, and looked at Shangguan Zhengdao: "What nonsense are you talking about, Your Majesty is only forty years old this year, which is the age when the tiger is vigorous, how can there be any accidents." ”

At this time, Li Chun, who had been standing next to Shangguan as an internal attendant, ran to the front of Shangguan, knelt down on his knees, and whimpered with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid really can't stand it, you have been enduring not telling anyone for the sake of this empire." But now that your life is at stake, they still don't know about it, and the slave can only take offense and tell the truth about your illness. ”

After Li Chun finished speaking, he wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and he didn't know if there were tears.

"The truth about the illness, what does my father-in-law mean by this?" The official who gave Li Chun a look just now saw Li Chun acting, and hurriedly asked.

Li Chun secretly praised this person for his good cooperation, but he still maintained a sad expression on his face and said: "Grandpa Guo, my lords, Your Majesty began to fall ill two years ago, and I believe everyone knows that although Your Majesty's body has been fine, it has been supported by the immortal master's elixir. If there is no elixir for Your Majesty to cure your Majesty that day, I'm afraid Your Majesty... Woooooooo After saying that, there was a whimper.

Hua Mohan was secretly surprised in his heart, although His Majesty's health has been getting worse and worse in the past two years, he still looks like he can still hold out until the prince grows up. Why did Li Chun suddenly say this today, is it true that these are all true?

Thinking of this, Hua Mohan hurriedly looked at Shangguan Zheng: "Your Majesty, these... ？”
