The imperial edict was in Emperor Xuan's handwriting, and it clearly stated that Ye Wusheng should be killed.

Emperor Xuan indeed arranged all the most difficult decisions.

"Take it down."

Lin Wei turned around and looked at Qi Yuan's back as he walked out. The last straw that supported her was gone.

Thinking of the past, I was a little shaken.

She had done so much for Ye Wusheng, but she could never get him to make a firm choice.

888 looked at the task progress bar that had been stuck for a long time and finally started to move.

Finally, boss, she finally remembered that she was on a mission!

It's too difficult.

After Emperor Xuan was buried, the new emperor succeeded to the throne and granted amnesty to the world.

Before he succeeded to the throne, Qi Yuan followed Emperor Xuan's decree and directly executed Lin Xiang and others without any delay.

The smell of blood from the execution ground lingered for days.

The mass graves were filled with corpses, and there was no one to collect the corpses.

Ye Wusheng was not even allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum.

However, the deceased Lin Yue's former crown princess, even if Qi Yuan succeeded to the throne, was only an empty tomb.

The situation that Emperor Xuan left for Qi Yuan was already the best. At least the imperial power was stable and Qi Yuan did not need to be constrained.

But the heavy rain that followed in the south put the issue of flooding on the table.

The Xuan Dynasty experienced civil strife and changes in the throne, and there were many border provocations.

Fortunately, despite the continuous heavy rains, it did not bring floods to the south, and the damage was controlled to a certain extent.

If the weather is normal later, maybe there will be a good harvest in some places.

"Your Majesty, the water conservancy in the south is normal and the possibility of floods has been greatly reduced."

The veteran minister who spoke to the court in the morning was full of praise. If His Majesty had not personally investigated, there would have been a flood just after he took the throne, and the country would be unstable.

"This cannot be taken lightly."

After giving instructions, Qi Yuan looked at Cheng Lin.

"Your Majesty, the barbarians at the border have provoked several times and have the intention of uniting."

Cheng Lin lowered his head and said, feeling worried in his heart.

The dangers that the barbarians united with the border had to face were not only doubled, but it happened that the Xuan Dynasty had just experienced famine, opened warehouses for disaster relief, and experienced heavy rains, which may not guarantee a good harvest.

There is insufficient food and grass, even if the generals and soldiers fight tooth and nail, it will be difficult to resist.

After purging a group of people, the treasury was finally full, but even if there was insufficient food and grass, we would have to wait until the autumn harvest to barely have enough to support it.

But even so, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

The best way is to rest and recuperate, and then fight again when you recover.

"The national treasury is full, so ask the Ministry of Revenue to allocate funds to expand the army and prepare for it."

"I accept the decree."

The Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of Hubu led the decree.

Wenchen is not a fool. Who dares to rush forward at this time? Aren't there enough living examples?

What's more, if Cheng Lin can pay attention to it, it shows that the border is indeed unstable.

"This year's tax reduction and exemption can be used to deduct taxes on food."

"I accept your order."

The Minister of Household Affairs has already figured out how to deduct taxes appropriately.

"Li Shangshu, this year's imperial examination is as usual."

The Minister of Rites received the decree, and Emperor Xuan's purge made it a time when the court was short of people, so this year's move was just in time.

Qi Yuan opened his mouth and all his troops broke off.

In the morning, all the adults in the department all smiled bitterly and went to work in a hurry, fearing that if they were not satisfied with the work, they would be the first to have the surgery.

Qi Yuan looked at the memorial handed over and reviewed it with a red pen.

The plan given by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household was considered to be excellent, and Qi Yuansuan knew it well.

What Xuan Dynasty needs most now is to recuperate, but the barbarian alliance in the north may not necessarily give Xuan Dynasty the opportunity to cultivate.

They are the most skilled at taking advantage of the situation, not to mention winter supplies, this battle will not be too far away.

Necessary preparation is essential.

New government decrees were promulgated, and after the autumn harvest, granaries everywhere became plentiful again. Although it was not a great harvest, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"General Cheng."

The Minister of Rites and Cheng Lin, who had just come out of the Imperial Study Room, nodded and hurried to arrange Chunwei's examination with the Ministry of Rites.

Cheng Lin walked into the hall and saw the defense map laid out by Qi Yuan on the table.

The heart is shaken, this is trust, and it is also a signal.

Now that winter has come, friction at the border is getting bigger and bigger, war is about to break out, and veterans like Cheng Lin have long been prepared to go to war.

"Uncle Cheng knows it well and has more experience than me. The situation at the border is not optimistic. Now the Xuan Dynasty can only fight."

Cheng Lin looked up, his hair was gray, but he immediately became energetic when he heard about the barbarian war. It seemed as if the hidden wounds that kept him awake at night had disappeared.

Although the veteran generals are taking care of themselves, fortunately Emperor Xuan valued military generals when he was in power, and now there is no shortage of generals.

Cheng Wu is one of them.

"Your Majesty, do you want to fight?"

"Naturally, and we can only win this battle. We must win completely and disperse them."

Qi Yuan said and the two looked at each other and saw the determined fighting spirit in each other.

"My lord, I am willing to lead the troops there!"

Cheng Lin's voice was like a bell. Those barbarians had been harassing the border for a long time. Now that they had food and soldiers, they, the veterans, had been thinking about it in private for who knows how long.

Now that Qi Yuan is planning to go on an expedition, Cheng Lin's hands are itching.

"Uncle Cheng is old and the border is bitterly cold."

Qi Yuan helped Cheng Lin up and said.

Cheng Lin started to argue as soon as he opened his mouth, but Qi Yuan's words blocked him before he could open his mouth.

"Uncle Cheng always wants to give young people some experience."

"What kind of experience do they have?"

Cheng Lin said, his voice gradually became quieter when he saw Qi Yuan's smile. Those juniors were indeed considered talented people, and he was quite satisfied with them.

"Uncle Cheng is right. This defense requires a veteran like you to take action."

Qi Yuan tapped his fingers on the table. Cheng Lin's frown became more and more relaxed as he looked at the defense map.

As soon as Cheng Lin left the palace, Qi Yuan's imperial edict also followed.

Before spring, Cheng Wu led the army and led a group of junior generals to the north.

Qi Yuan watched the huge team leaving, and all the plans in his mind were already on the schedule.

Cheng Wu led his army northward and brought sufficient food and grass to reinforce the border.

The man stationed at the border was Jiang Xun, who had conquered the country during Emperor Xuan's reign, and was also Emperor Xuan's most trusted general besides Cheng Lin.

"General, those barbarians are attacking the city again."

"Go up to the tower."

Jiang Xun picked up his sword and rushed towards the city wall. When he arrived at the city and saw the several teams, his heart sank a little.

These barbarian tribes have already reached cooperation. Compared with the previous attempts, this time they are obviously planning to go to war.

Looking at the siege equipment, Jiang Xun tightened his grip on the sword.

During the Xuan Dynasty, there was a famine and a struggle for the throne. The grain and grass that should be sent to the border had not arrived, and now they were all counting on the autumn harvest that had just passed.

Jiang Xunyuan was at the border, so it was inevitable that he would be slow to grasp the news from the capital.

There is insufficient food and grass, and now the barbarians are invading again.

There was no warning, but it was expected. I thought there would be a fierce battle, but they evacuated quickly.

The city was defended, but no one was happy.

The enemy knew that Xuan Chao had just experienced civil strife and had no energy, and now he was constantly testing their strength.
