Feng Zongyu's old voice sounded again, and this shrewd old man immediately refuted the young man's words. "The 800-year national fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how can you and I shake it, not to mention that the Demon Emperor is in the prime of life, and the ministers of the court and the central government are the will of the people, if you take the opportunity to raise troops to rebel at this moment, then how many people who are eyeing this king will attack me with this, and the namelessness of the teacher will cause the existing ones to disappear. ”

The young man was silent for a long time, "What then?"

"Go down. The king is tired. Feng Zongyu said.

Soon, a tall young man wearing silver-white shining armor came out of the palace, and there was also a red tassel fluttering on his head on his steel helmet. A strong body of muscles, which seems to have both deterrent power.

Seeing that the man walked away, listening to no one talking in the political cabinet, Ye Xuan and the others pushed the door in, and saw Feng Zongyu writing big characters. The look is quite spirited.

Seeing Ye Xuan, Feng Zongyu was also stunned. Then he smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

Ye Xuan nodded. "I want to ask how the elite in the desert is doing. ”

Feng Zongyu put down the pen in his hand, sat upright on the chair, and said with a serious expression: "The elites in the desert have all been sent to the Beijing Division. That group of elites was too thin and too devoid of manners. If the Demon Emperor saw it, he would definitely be furious. I don't know how effective they are. But we first lost the supplies that the three states had accumulated over the years. ”

"Eight hundred years ago, they were the elite of the Great Zhou Dynasty, conquering the city, but after they succeeded, they did not enjoy the happiness they deserved, but were directly sent to the frontier. Eight hundred years later, they came out and were going to be used for war again. For 800 years, they have struggled to survive in the desert. Fair to them?" Ye Xuan said.

Feng Zongyu looked at Ye Xuan, "It is a soldier's duty to fight, it is a soldier's duty to obey orders, and letting them be stationed in the desert is also to sharpen them and keep them from losing blood." As for pleasure, who says that if you win, you must have pleasure without worrying about food and clothing?"

"If it weren't for a worry-free life, then who would die desperately? For the sake of the so-called lofty ideals? Most people should be a laity who is greedy for money and lustful. It is precisely because of greed for money and lust that I am desperate because of this. After all, there are very few saints, and their lives are extremely miserable. Ye Xuan said.

"It's not a matter of you and me. Is there anything else you have to ask when you come here?" Feng Zongyu asked.

Outside, a breeze suddenly blows, blowing down fallen leaves and hitting doors and windows.

This is the crisp voice of the red stamen. "I want to know what kind of status the Holy Sect has in Nan Zhan Zhou. If Da Zhou fights against it, the odds are great. And why did the Great Zhou Demon Emperor have to get along with the Holy Sect. ”

Feng Zongyu's complexion changed, and he did not return to his usual calmness. Obviously, I don't want to say too much about it. Seeing this red stamen, I was naturally more curious.

"Speaking of the grievances between the Holy Sect and the Great Zhou Empire, it has been rumored for a long time. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it has also relied on the power of the Holy Sect to sweep away many powerful countries in Nanzhan Continent, which has played a role in determining the tripod until now. It can be said that the Holy Sect has the most direct help to the Great Zhou Empire. Feng Zongyu said.

"As for coming to this point, it is also because the imperial power and the sect are always incompatible, and the Holy Sect is not as ignorant as the ordinary sects, but it is too much to loot the people's fat and people's cream, but the people think that the Great Zhou Empire is imposing taxes and fees. The pressure of the people, coupled with the pressure of the Holy Sect, the bureaucracy of the Great Zhou Empire was very stressed at this moment, and at the same time very angry, especially the imperial family of the Great Zhou. There are also deep-rooted families. Moreover, the Holy Sect is still an organization that only enters but does not leave, which also leads to the fact that in the long run, the Great Zhou Empire did not have a rich treasury to govern and develop the country. In the past 800 years, Nanzhan Zhou has made only a little progress!"

Ye Xuan was a little suddenly enlightened. "Then this Holy Sect is indeed a cancer. ”

Feng Zongyu also showed anger on his face, "And in the land of the three states under my jurisdiction, there are also the millions of troops of the Holy Sect, although the combat effectiveness of the Holy Sect's army is weak, but the pious belief makes these people not afraid of death." Moreover, within the bureaucratic organization of the Great Zhou Empire, there were also members of the Holy Sect who entered it. We have also done a lot of anti-Catholic campaigns. But with little success. However, there is one thing that is strange to be old, the Holy Sect's millions of soldiers and horses, the armor used is the inferior. Not to mention the hordes of dragoons. If so many supplies were sent to the Holy Sect every year, it would be enough for them to build the most powerful army in the world, but this is not the case now. ”

"How do you say that?" Ye Xuan finally couldn't help but ask.

"The Great Zhou Empire also attacked the Holy Sect, all the way to Jian'an, the hinterland of the Holy Sect, but encountered the most powerful resistance, the Great Zhou Empire suffered a three-year drought, and at the last moment of the attack, the follow-up was weak. Then the Holy Sect developed rapidly. And it took a long time to restore the national strength. Feng Zongyu said regretfully.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan was a little curious, "Then since the dough has already been torn, why do you still have to give the Holy Sect supplies every year?"

"That's the key point. For example, in the three states under my jurisdiction, there are millions of troops of the Holy Sect, and they have Holy Sect troops stationed near each tribe, and when there is no war with the Holy Sect in peacetime, the Holy Sect will always go to each tribe in advance to ask for supplies. Then when we went to collect it, the demons of that tribe were naturally unhappy. There have also been many fighting incidents for this reason. After that, we can only collect a little, or not at all, and we have to have a holy sect in the ranks of the ghosts lurking. At any time, the information will leak out. Speaking of this, Feng Zongyu's face was quite helpless.

"We are afraid of riots, and we are oppressed by the plundering of the Holy Father, and we are trying to survive in the cracks. Therefore, the fight against the Holy Sect is the main thing. ”

Suddenly, Ye Xuan realized that something was wrong. "Where did the Holy Sect plunder the supplies?"

Feng Zongyu touched his chin and beard. His face was solemn. "It is rumored that the Holy Sect communicates with the Heavenly Court, and above Nanzhan Continent, there is a passage leading to the heavens, and the Holy Sect has sent all the materials to the heavens. The offerings to the celestials have gone. ”

Ye Xuan was furious. "Even if there is a heavenly court, it shouldn't steal the materials of the world like this! if there is more in the heavenly court, there will be less in the human world, how different is this from bandits. Then the Holy Sect is willing to be a lackey?"

Feng Zongyu shook his head with a sigh. "The nature of the demons is to seek advantages and avoid harms, as long as the benefits are big enough, naturally they are willing to do things for the heavenly court, but this is just a rumor, and no one knows if it is specific. But the Holy Sect is a behemoth, and there is no doubt about it. ”
