The tiger capital of Daxia.
The Imperial City Mountains, which represented the pinnacle of power, were suddenly shrouded in gloom and mist.
There was a dead silence in the inner courtyard of the palace, and the atmosphere had become so solemn that the servants and maids who came and went walked quickly, not daring to whisper to each other at all.
In the imperial study room.
A group of important officials from the imperial court have been waiting here for a long time.
The army of the alliance of princes was divided into three groups. After pressing hard, they actually reached the gates of Qisha, Pojun and Tanlangzhen at the same time.
The three satellite towns were outnumbered and immediately contacted the Imperial City of Daxia and requested to send troops to support the fight against the enemy.
At such a critical moment, the little emperor Xuanyuan Hong was still asleep.
More than an hour has passed, but I haven't seen him yet.
Including Lin Zerong and Yue Zhongqi, all the ministers' faces were filled with faint uneasiness. Unfortunately, due to the etiquette and law, they did not dare to lose their temper in public.
The old faces suddenly turned purple and red from holding back, and they could only stand there and work in a hurry.
"Your Majesty has arrived~~"
Following a harsh shout, Xuanyuan Hong, who was wearing a purple and gold dragon robe, threw up his long sleeves and slumped down sleepily on the dragon chair. At this moment, he finally arrived belatedly.
"what happened?"
He rubbed his somewhat heavy eyelids.
Xuanyuan Hong yawned profusely and asked impatiently: "I have just fallen asleep, and the cabinet reported to me that there is something important to discuss. What happened to make you so nervous?!"
The military ministers did not dare to hide it and immediately reported the battle situation. The three satellite towns guarding the imperial city were each besieged by tens of thousands of enemy troops. The situation was not optimistic for a time.
"That's it?!"
He raised his eyebrows.
The young emperor on the dragon bed looked extremely impatient and shook his head: "It's just three satellite towns. What's the fuss? As long as tigers are not in harm's way, these small places don't care what they do!"
As soon as these words came out.
The imperial study room immediately fell into silence.
Many elderly ministers could not help but sigh, and the atmosphere suddenly became very awkward.
He is in a high position but has no knowledge or skills.
Obviously, Xuanyuan Hong's understanding of government affairs and current situation can be described as extremely naive.
Being domineering in the palace all day long made him lose his most basic ability to judge.
He naively believed that as long as the imperial power did not fall, nothing would threaten his rule.
He has no sympathy for the people at all. Anyone and anything can become an outcast in his eyes.
"Your Majesty..."
Slowly walked out from among the ministers.
Lin Zerong bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice: "Qisha, Pojun and Tanlang are not ordinary satellite towns. They are the lifeblood of the imperial city and Hudu, and there is no room for any mistakes."
In front of all the ministers.
Lin Zerong had no choice but to start popular science education for Xuanyuan Hong.
Although the Imperial City Hudu is the capital of Daxia, every inch of the huge city is expensive, and the people who live in it are either rich or noble.
In such a precious place, it is impossible to have enough arable land for cultivation and production.
Ever since.
The entire imperial city's millions of people's basic necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and all material consumption are completely dependent on the long-term supply of the three major satellite towns.
Once the three major satellite towns are lost, it means that sooner or later the tiger capital will run out of food. If this continues, the imperial city will naturally collapse...
"Seriously, is it this serious?"
He couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Xuanyuan Hong, who was sitting on the dragon throne, immediately became confused when he thought that his throne might not be stable.
The little emperor's expression suddenly became frightened. He looked at the ministers in confusion and asked loudly: "My dear friends, do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?!"
Hear the words.
All the powerful officials looked at each other.
They lowered their heads in unison and avoided the little emperor's pleading eyes.
It is their duty to fight for power and profit and eliminate dissidents.
Flattery and flattery are what these people are extremely good at.
But once you encounter a substantial problem.
The princes and nobles in front of them immediately lost their arrogance, fearing that improper handling would ruin their bright future.
As the saying goes, if you do more, you will make more mistakes. If you don't do it, you will not make mistakes.
Well versed in the way of survival in Daxia's officialdom, a group of cunning old foxes immediately chose to lose their voices collectively, pretending to be deaf and dumb and not daring to raise their heads at all.
"His Majesty!"
At the moment of embarrassment, it was Lin Zerong who stepped forward and broke the calm.
"For the current plan, the only way is to immediately summon the national night watchmen in the city and send troops to the three towns in the name of the royal division."
There was a pause.
Lin Zerong cupped his hands and continued: "I have the courage to share your Majesty's worries and personally lead my army of Forbidden Palace envoys to defeat these rebellious rebel princes in one fell swoop!"
"Okay, okay..."
I couldn't help but feel relaxed for a while.
Xuanyuan Hong smiled excitedly, nodded repeatedly and said: "Lin Aiqing is indeed an important minister of the country. I am very pleased to have Aiqing here!"
Said.
The little emperor stood up and was about to issue an order when he saw another person walking silently out of the crowd of ministers.
"Your Majesty, there may be something wrong with this matter."
Yue Zhongqi, who was dressed in white, had a burning gaze and suddenly said: "According to what I have seen, whether it is a regular legion or an envoy from the Forbidden Palace, it is best for the army in the imperial city not to act rashly."
Frowning his brows, Lin Zerong suddenly felt unhappy.
For many years, he has been controlling the political affairs of the Daxia Empire and won the trust of Xuanyuan Hong.
It can be said that one person is inferior to ten thousand people.
However, in the past two years, Yue Zhongqi, who was in charge of the "Scientific Research Department", suddenly emerged as a new force. With his numerous biotechnology methods, he began to compete with him for favor in front of the little emperor.
Between the two men fighting openly and secretly, there is a strong tendency to be evenly matched.
In official circles, there are no permanent friends and enemies. Only eternal interests are the top priority.
Seeing that Yue Zhongqi was too popular, Lin Zerong was already a little dissatisfied with this and couldn't help but shouted in a deep voice.
"Master Yue, what do you mean by this?!"
His face suddenly darkened.
Lin Zerong narrowed his eyes, shook his head and said: "If you don't send troops to suppress it, how can you repel the powerful enemy? Is it possible for Your Majesty to just watch these damn rebels capture three towns?!"
Eager to achieve success.
In Lin Zerong's eyes, Yue Zhongqi at this moment was like a huge stumbling block, making him feel disgusting and disgusting no matter how he looked at it.
"of course not."
Yue Zhongqi smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said: "If the night watchmen in the city divide their troops into three groups to encircle and suppress the bandits, it will inevitably affect the defense capability of the imperial city. If the enemy suddenly comes to attack the city at this moment, what should we use to resist? Isn't it two-sided? Trapped?!”
They had just experienced a disastrous defeat, and the more than 100,000 imperial city legions had not had time to rest.
If the troops were sent out rashly, not only would their combat effectiveness be greatly reduced, but they might actually fall into the trap of some princes and city lords to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
"My lords, do you still remember the "anti-desire fission device" that Yue showed you before?"
Lift the corners of your mouth.
Yue Zhongqi smiled coldly and said in a deep voice.
"In this current situation, a single move can affect the whole body. What we really need is a rare soldier who doesn't know what fear is. Not only can he take advantage of the situation to test the depth of the enemy's army, but even if he is unfortunately ambushed by the opponent, there will be nothing. It’s worth feeling so sad about.”
In theory.
Anyone who wears this device will turn into a pitiful tool that only knows how to kill.
before this.
Under the instruction of Yue Zhongqi, the "Research Department of the Great Xia Empire" has used this device on living people and conducted in-depth human experiments. The samples have exceeded the scale of thousands of people.
"Conserve your strength and leave the elite legions in the city to stand still..."
There was an inexplicable haze between his eyebrows.
Yue Zhongqi glanced at Xuanyuan Hong on the dragon chair and said in a deep voice: "It would be better to use these experimental subjects of Weichen to explore the enemy's strength. On the one hand, it can lure the snake out of the hole, and on the other hand, it can test this system." The role of the device in actual combat.”
There was a pause.
Lowering his body and kowtowing to the dragon chair, Yue Zhongqi smiled and said, "In this way, we can get the best of both worlds and truly relieve your Majesty's worries!"
"Okay, wonderful!"
His eyes suddenly lit up.
Xuanyuan Hong, who was still hesitant and frightened before, suddenly regained his life. He patted the armrest of the dragon chair suddenly, stood up and said with a smile: "I will act according to Yue Aiqing's words. I want to take a closer look to see if those rebel princes really have three heads and six arms." , How big a wave can it make!"
Prone on the ground.
Yue Zhongqi hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and after a while of disgusting flattery, the little emperor was beaming with joy.
In the imperial study room.
Others were silent about this, not daring to have the slightest opinion or criticism.
Only Lin Zerong frowned, looking at Yue Zhongqi with deep hostility in his eyes.
