Chapter Sixty-Seven: I Want to Conquer Myself

The reverie-inducing enthronement ceremony ended after the new monarch Zhao Mu canonized Zhou Yi as the first edict of the king of Zhenguo Wucheng.

Next, Zuoqiu, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, served as a guide and took the new monarch to worship the temple.

The temple number of the first emperor Zhao Shining was determined by the first emperor and empress and the first auxiliary minister Zhou Yi, and the temple number and nickname of Emperor Renzong Wenkang were already beautiful words, and Zhao Mu naturally had no need to make changes.

In the Jongmiao, Zhao Muzun was the first empress dowager and moved to Cining Palace.

Zhao Mu is a strange person, about to reach the crown, he has not experienced human affairs, and naturally there is no crown princess, and the position of the queen is only vacant first.

The new monarch ascended the throne, the Daxing Emperor went out of the funeral, and after the commotion lasted for nearly ten days, the imperial court was on the right track and entered the era of Zhao Mushanguo.

However, the atmosphere of the new emperor's first court meeting was not very good, especially after receiving the emergency military report from Pingman City, Zhao Mu's face was so cold that he was dripping.

"Smack!" slammed the piece in his hand under the throne.

"Waste! Rice bucket! Are Gong Hao and Zheng Taihong pigs! An army of more than 200,000 people can wipe out the whole army with a surprise attack from the elves! Once the Manchuan Pass is lost, where is there such a strong city in the Great Plain of Vientiane County, which can resist the elves going north! The south is eroded, and the foundation of the empire will inevitably be shaken! These two dogs must correct the law!"

As soon as Zhao Mu saw the situation explained by Chahan, he was immediately furious and opened fire towards the military headquarters.

Zhou Yi was also silent, even if there were more than 200,000 pigs, it was impossible to be wiped out in one drum!

stepped forward, silently picked up the fold, and looked through it carefully.

Zhao Mu saw him pick up the fold, his face flushed slightly, he still had a little Meng Lang! No matter how big his resentment was against the military academy, he couldn't be so angry in front of the first minister!

Therefore, he held back his anger, sat back heavily, and waited for Zhou Yi to speak.

Chahan did not report the situation to himself immediately, but chose to report to the imperial court first, and the meaning of this is also quite intriguing! Of course, it does not mean that Chahan ignored himself, or that he chose to join the royal family without himself. With just Minmin's relationship with himself, he couldn't have done that. Zhou Yi was a little confused, after all, he was not really good at political struggles! Even if there was such a situation in the DPRK, it was only the result of his efforts to convince people.

"Your Majesty, the military academy has been controlling the border army for many years, and it is only in peace that it has led to such evil results! The opinion of the following officials is to put away the military power of the border army as much as possible and avoid the military academy being in charge alone!" Seeing Zhou Yi frowning and pondering, Zha Gaoyang suddenly said loudly, he didn't have the same feelings as an alliance of the military academy at the beginning, and directly began to fall into the ground.

Before Zhou Yi could say anything, he rushed to speak, which was obviously no longer afraid of Zhou Yi.

It seems that he chose to dedicate the jade seal of the country to Zhao Mu in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Otherwise, how can you see the true face of Zha Gaoyang, let him hide it all the time, and maybe when he will give himself a blow in the back!

"Well, Zha Aiqing is right, the military power of this military academy in the border army must be returned to the imperial court!" Zhao Mu was already very jealous of the military academy's power in the army, and now when he heard Zha Gaoyang's words, he immediately agreed.

"Your Majesty, the top priority is not to collect the military power of the military academy, but how to resolve the crisis in the south!" Zhang Ji saw that after Zhou Yi heard Zha Gaoyang's words, his face was not good-looking, and he immediately understood the reason. Laughing loudly in his heart, he laughed at Zha Gaoyang's eyes, since this Zhou Taifu dared to dedicate the secret treasure to His Majesty in front of the ministers, he must have a full plan. You think that people don't have hole cards, so they are sharp, be careful to suffer a big loss!

However, when Zha Gaoyang said this, he just made himself show his loyalty to Mrs. Zhou, so he immediately refuted it.

"Imperial Envoy, the difference between your words is a one-two-two-one, one-and-one problem, how can it be that what you said is not a top priority!" Zha Gaoyang raised his eyebrows, and blocked Zhang Ji's words unhappily.

Meng Hongye stared coldly at the dispute between the two, since the palace change, whether it was a big court meeting or a small discussion like now, he was reluctant to speak again.

"There has been such a big upheaval in the south, and the shape is already about to erode, if you don't transfer the eastern and western garrisons, you can't stop the elves from going north. However, most of these army commanders are people from the military academy who are in power! If they don't collect military power, how can we ensure that they are not Lin Bo's remnants, and how can we ensure that they will not go against the law!"

When Zhang Ji heard this, he was furious and said, "Master Taifu has long said that Lin Bo's party is limited to three saints and ten grandmasters in the military academy, and will no longer pursue the others!

Zha Gaoyang smiled coldly, snorted lightly, and said, "Hmph, I was just worried about a mutiny! Right now, who can guarantee that they don't support Lin Bo's disobedience in their hearts!"

Zhou Yi's eyebrows jumped, Cha Gaoyang is showing that the carriage and horse are going to wrestle with him!

Zhao Mu also saw that Zha Gaoyang's attitude was a little ambiguous at this time, and he was faintly targeting Zhou Yi. His heart couldn't help but be angry, and his eyebrows were already burning, this guy was still delusional about using the crisis to attack Zhou Yi, it was really despicable! Almost instantly, his perception of Zha Gaoyang plummeted.

"Taifu, what do you think, let's hear it!" stopped looking at Cha Gaoyang, making the latter inexplicable, didn't he still agree with his own opinion just now! Why did he ignore himself in a blink of an eye, and instead went to ask Zhou Yi's opinion.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about the affairs of the south! After a while, I'm afraid the elves won't be able to go north!" Zhou Yi read Chahan's last few words, and his worries suddenly let go. Hearing Zhao Mu's question, he opened his mouth to be relieved.

"Oh, how can I see it!Taifu, this is a military + national event, no joke!" Zha Gaoyang heard the words and fired directly at him.

Looking back coldly, he stared at Zha Gaoyang, and then saw that Zhao Mu didn't understand, so he explained: "Chahan said in his compromises that he had ordered the Seventh and Ninth Legions to be garrisoned by eight recruits commanded by Kukut Mur and the Half-Elf Eight Commanders to garrison the front line of Pingman City, and he led the Eight Banners Legion and the Suwei Legion to the south to meet the enemy. Your Majesty, the Eight Banners Legion has now expanded to 320,000, and Chahan's guards also have more than 100,000 horses. Chahan is a battlefield general, with these more than 400,000 cavalry, forgive the elves will never dare to go north lightly!"

"Three hundred and twenty thousand!?" Zha Gaoyang was shocked, and Meng Hongye was also shocked.

Zhao Mu had long known about the large-scale expansion of the army of the Eight Half-Elves, and it was with his strong support in the early stage that Chahan was able to expand the army smoothly. So seeing that the two were stunned, they also felt a sense of pride in their hearts.

It was only at this time that Meng Hongye understood why Zhou Yi wanted Jiang Lifu to win the position of half-elf pacification envoy for Chahan, so it was!

These eight and a half elves are simply a tribe where all the people are soldiers, and they can pull up hundreds of thousands of troops with a light yƬ! Zhou Yi was already in the southern part of the empire at that time, and his goal was self-evident, he must have gone against Gong Hao and Zheng Taihong. It's just that I didn't expect that without his action, the elves would destroy these two legions. His first-hand arrangement actually became the only life-saving straw for the situation in the south at this time!

Zhou Yi's scheming is also deep! He is worthy of everyone who wrote "Zhou Zi's Art of War"!

Meng Hongye suddenly looked up to Zhou Yigao a lot in his heart, and his opinion of him suddenly changed a lot in his heart. He has always thought that Zhou Yi became famous and was fortunate to be in power!

"If it is not my race, its heart will be different! Your Majesty, these half-elf eight tribes have such a large-scale military power, and they are related to the elf race, if there is a change, who in the south can control it, this is definitely not the blessing of the empire! The minister asked His Majesty to order Chahan to cut his troops!" When he came back to his senses, Zha Gaoyang's eyes rolled, and he immediately remembered an excuse to attack the half-elf eight tribes.

No matter how much power and profit are fought for in the DPRK and China, he can turn a blind eye and let people like Zha Gaoyang make trouble. However, when it comes to the Empire's military strategy in the south, he must not be allowed to do anything wrong!

Therefore, hearing Zha Gaoyang's words, Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows and said in a solemn tone: "The two county kings of the half-elf Yunbu and the Moon Department are the fathers-in-law of this king, and the only daughter of the county king of Yunbu is the beloved wife of this king, Cha Shangshu!

After speaking, he held the Xuanyuan Sword on his waist with one hand, and stared at Zha Gaoyang with a slight squint in his eyes.

It's just a slight lift of the sword in his waist, and the sword body is slightly exposed. Standing with his eyes down, Meng Hongye, who had been observing Zhou Yi, felt a little throbbing!

The sword at his waist is not a mortal thing!

Meng Hongye was slightly shocked in his heart, could it be that the sword on Zhou Yi's body is also the treasure of the human emperor!?

Squeezed by Zhou Yi's words, Cha Gaoyang's face changed slightly, although he thought that Zhou Yi had lost the jade seal of the country, and he couldn't do anything to the sage! But after all, he was still a great master of the Holy Dao, and he was just a bachelor, and the suppression of his literary position made him can't help but be timid!

"Lord Taifu is serious, Xia Guan definitely did not intend to target the second department of Yunyue, nor did he want to target Taifu!"

Zhang Ji saw that he was soft, and he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. Didn't you tremble just now, deliberately targeting Mrs. Zhou!? Why did you retract as soon as someone opened your mouth!

"Okay! Cha Shangshu, the expansion of the army of the eight half-elves is my intention! In order to prevent the elven army from raiding, and the southern army is insufficient! Although these half-elves have elven blood, they have a deep blood feud with the elven clan, and they will not belong to the Kunya Elf Empire! You don't have to worry!" Zhao Mu felt a trace of happiness in his heart, when his father was on the throne, how could this Zha Gaoyang and the others ever be so obedient.

"Taifu, although Chahan has sufficient military strength, but after all, the elves are attacking the country, if you want to repel it and recover Baiyue County, I am afraid you still need to mobilize reinforcements from the east and west. The commanders of these border armies are all from the military academy, I am afraid it is still unknown whether they will listen to the tune!" Seeing that Zha Gaoyang was ashamed to retreat, standing there silent, Zhao Mu turned his head to Zhou Yi and asked.

He has already let go of the military academy generously, and he has not killed them all, plus the Rong Yuan Dragon Sage is now in charge of the military academy holy hall alone, these military academy scholars who have been released dare not disobey the order!

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi was slightly sure in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, there must be a majority of people who listen to orders, if there are those who do not obey orders, they will be bound and questioned by the military academy!"

"Well, that's fine, since that's the case, then I'll mobilize the five major legions in the east and west, plus the Guards Legion, and drive the expedition in person! Vowed to drive these elves down to the sea and recover Baiyue County!" Zhao Mu stood up when he heard this, pulled out the sword of the Son of Heaven, and said with hatred.

"Huh!?" Not to mention Zha Gaoyang and the others, even Zhou Yi was shocked when he heard this!
