Villain: We agreed to cancel the engagement, what are you regretting?

"It looks like Uncle Mingshan won't be able to come back either." Wang Xuan said as he put down the letter in his hand.

This letter was sent from the northern border, and it said that the Qiyan tribe had already launched a massive invasion.

This war is expected to continue until the arrival of winter, which means that Li Mingshan will not be able to come to celebrate Wang Xuan's coming-of-age ceremony.

After all, at this critical juncture when the Rongdi went south, Li Mingshan, as one of the most important brains of the Zhenbei Army, naturally could not return to Luodu.

Uncle Fu had a look of pity on his face, thinking that it was really pitiful that the young master didn't even have an elder to witness his coming-of-age day.

He thought of the dead young lady again, if only the young lady were still alive.

Wang Xuan didn't feel any melancholy, it was just a coming-of-age ceremony.

What he was thinking about now was why it took the Rongdi three months to gather the army to march south.

According to the plot of the game in the previous life, after Ajinai's death, Erile led the Qiyan tribe's 200,000 troops to invade the four states in the northern border.

But this time it took a full three months

"Is it because of the butterfly effect? "Wang Xuan muttered to himself.

Come to think of it, as���Lin An in the corner is dead.

So there will definitely be changes in the follow-up.

But Wang Xuan is not clear about what has changed.

But what happens on the battlefield will be a real fight.

The letter was sent from the northern border, and the Zhenbei Army should be fighting with the Qiyan tribe.

Wang Xuan is not worried at all.

Before, the Zhenbei Army had defended against the 700,000 troops of the three Rongdi tribes.

It is natural that they can easily deal with the 200,000 troops of the Qiyan tribe.

Moreover, they have been fully prepared for three months, so this battle is not difficult to fight.

Moreover, in the original game plot, this battle was finally dragged into winter, and the Qiyan tribe finally had to retreat to the grassland.

But Wang Xuan still wanted to go to the northern border, especially the Rongdi grassland.

Because Li Bai's tomb is there.

There is the secret of Lin An's becoming a celestial being.

But the empress should not let him go.

Now he is a hostage, and it is impossible to let him go back to the northern border

"Pity......"Wang Xuan sighed.

But there should be a chance in the future.

Now he still needs to accumulate strength.

He can't tear his face with the empress and Daqian.

After all, no one knows whether the Great Zhou Taizu is really alive.

But why think so much!

It's better to practice well.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuan devoted himself to practice again.

In the past three months, he has improved the Yin-Yang Wuji Gong a lot, and spent his luck to practice to the great success realm.

And in the two realms of Zhixuan and Tianxiang, he has also made some gains, and he is not far from breaking through.......

Unlike Wang Xuan's peaceful life, the court was in chaos.

"Your Majesty! I think the Rongdi army is coming with such force that it is unstoppable. It is better to negotiate peace!"

"You old thief! You're negotiating peace without even fighting? Did you take money from Rongdi?"

"How ridiculous! I am doing this for Daqian, for Your Majesty, and for the people. How can I allow you to slander me?"

"What you mean by consideration is to pay annual tribute to Rong Di like in previous years?"

"Why not? The annual tribute is only one million taels, but if a war breaks out, not only will the lives of the people be lost, but the money spent will be more than one million."

"You old thief! How can the dignity of our Daqian be measured by mere money?"

"you......I can't explain it clearly to you, an old man!"

"......"

The civil and military sides had a heated argument, which was quite exciting.

But no one could convince the other. This was because the two sides were considering different issues.

The civil officials were in charge, and they were thinking about how to govern the country and consolidate the regime.

So what they wanted was for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and it was an economic account.

Spending money to buy peace couldn't be more cost-effective.

Most of the military generals had experienced the invasion of the mountains and rivers by the Rongdi people, and they had a deep hatred for the Rongdi people. In their eyes, national dignity was above all else.

If the Rongdi people dared to invade, they would fight back.

There was a lot of noise in the audience, but Li Chenghuan still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai.

This is how an emperor is.

She did not participate in the discussion, she was here to be a referee, to balance the strength of both sides.

She enjoyed and was happy to play this balancing game.

But at this moment, someone stood up and said:

""I think that the current situation is the fault of the Prince of Zhenbei. I think the Prince of Zhenbei can be punished. When the Khan of Rongdi sees this, he will not invade the south again!"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone stopped arguing.

Seeing this, Li Chenghuan sneered:"Oh? You all think this is feasible?"

The ministers looked at each other, but no one spoke.

But silence is also a statement, that is, agreement. It

's okay for civil officials to agree, but why do military generals also agree?

In fact, the military generals don't agree, they just dare not support.

The Prince of Zhenbei is a vassal king of a different surname, and he is extremely powerful.

If a military general supports him, he will inevitably be attacked as a clique.

Colluding with vassal kings to form a clique is a taboo in the court.

And they don't know whether the civil officials raised this opinion at the instruction of the empress.

The person who raised the opinion was quite proud.

However, at this time, Yang Heng spoke up:"I disagree!"

"Oh? Yang Qingjia, you don't agree?"Li Chenghuan laughed.

The generals were also surprised. The general who usually pretended to be stupid and slept came out to speak for Wang Xuan at this time?

But now the general who can speak is only the general.

"Now is the critical moment for Rongdi to invade the south"

"Let's not talk about whether the prince of Zhenbei is guilty."

"The Zhenbei Army is the main force in this fight against the Rongdi. If we rashly punish the Prince of Zhenbei, wouldn't that be shooting ourselves in the foot?"

"If the morale of the Zhenbei Army is in chaos, how can it fight against the Rongdi? Don’t you understand this principle?"

The civil officials were silent.

Of course they understood, they did it on purpose.

If punishing Wang Xuan can make the Rongdi withdraw their troops, it would be perfect.

If they cannot withdraw their troops, it will also make the Zhenbei Palace feel uncomfortable. If the Zhenbei Army rebels because of this, the court will have a reason to withdraw the fiefdom.

With the joint efforts of the Rongdi, the Zhenbei Army will be directly wiped out and the four northern states will be recovered.

Yang Heng said coldly:"I think that the person who proposed this matter clearly wants to undermine the morale of my Daqian army. Could he be a spy sent by the Rongdi? He should be killed!"

The person who proposed this changed his face and quickly explained:"You....Don't slander me!"

"Your Majesty! I am just suggesting it, I have no intention of causing any harm!"

Li Chenghuan narrowed his eyes and said coldly:"Oh? Really?"

"It's absolutely true!" The person who proposed it buried his head deeply in the ground.

"But I don't believe it!" Li Chenghuan said angrily:"Come here, put him in prison!"

The man who proposed it changed his face:"No! Your Majesty!......"I am innocent!"

Li Chenghuan said,"Innocent? Who ordered you to do that?"

Hearing this, the man who proposed the idea had a flash of fear on his face, but soon returned to normal, only shouting for mercy!

But in the end, he was still dragged away by the Jinyiwei.

All the ministers were silent.

"The King of Zhenbei is the pillar of our Daqian. If anyone dares to sow discord between us, the fate of the person just now is a lesson for us!" Li Chenghuan said coldly

"That's all for today, let's go!"

Without waiting for the ministers to salute and leave, Li Chenghuan left with a wave of his sleeves.

Leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

The ministers left the court one after another.

However, after leaving Ziwei Palace, some of the civil officials went home to change into casual clothes, and then left from the back in a car.

Finally, they gathered in a courtyard one after another.

And in this small courtyard, there were actually many important ministers such as the Minister of War, the Minister of Revenue, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, etc.!

Most of the power of Daqian is concentrated here!
