Three months will not bring much change in life for most people in Nanyuan Kingdom. But for the emperor who controls the whole country, the situation in Nanyuan Kingdom has been ups and downs in the past three months. Overall, it's pretty stable and improving.
Of course, the premise is that if you don't look at the southwest side of Nanyuan Kingdom, you are indeed looking for the best.
The old eunuch Wu Kui was naturally the happiest. Because since Zhang Yan had a huge fight with a big ghost king in Langyuan City three months ago, groups of spirits can no longer be found in the Nanyuan Kingdom. Even if there are Eldar crimes committed, they are scattered and small cases, and the number is very small.
This is much better than the previous result of relying on Zhang Yan to block part of the Dead Silence Road. One hoped for "relief", but now it is completely "dissolved".
Not only did it completely free the Special Cases Division headed by Wu Kui from its previous exhaustion, but it also immediately stabilized the situation in most counties and cities in Nanyuan Kingdom.
Internal stability is really important to Nanyuan Kingdom. In this way, we will have the energy and more confidence to focus on dealing with the impact from the demon country in the southwest.
Why do you say impact? Instead of saying "invasion"?
Because compared to the Bright Moon Demon Kingdom, the Nanyuan Kingdom is as weak as a mutt dog. Even if someone is beaten, it can only be described as a "misunderstanding" or an "impact" instead of directly defining it as an "invasion" with full meaning of war. Because I am really worried that if I act too staunchly, it will really lead to a national war in the Haoyue Demon Kingdom. At that time, Nanyuan Kingdom will really be torn to pieces.
It sounds incredible, timid and humble. But that is the only means of survival that Xiyuan County, sandwiched between the Demon Kingdom and the Lower Kingdom, has always relied on.
Including Yubei Mountain Fortress and Nanyuan Kingdom, they have always been killing fields, and Xiyuan County has long known this. It is necessary to put those two places, but there is a way to stabilize them. One is because of the exotic fruit trees in Yushan, and the other is because of the fertile land and low yield of food. If in the past, the Demon Kingdom had snatched some away like in Yubei Mountain, Xiyuan County would have been able to take it easy. But now the demon clan of Nanyuan Kingdom has no intention of pressing down the border with a small army. Even if the walls are strong and the wilderness is clear, they are still approaching Baishi City, the place where Nanyuan Kingdom is guarded.
After that, the Dead Silent Road put little pressure on Yuan Tengxian and Yubei Mountain. Once a civil uprising breaks out in the front, not to mention reinforcements, even food, grass, ordnance and consumables will be cut off. In this way, the obstruction between the two points and one line of Baishi and Yubei Mountain Fortress will quickly collapse. Once the defense line collapses, the events ahead will be completely out of Xiyuan County's control. Even if the demon clan chooses to destroy Xiyuan County by then, what will be left behind after all the chaos is a mess full of holes. How could Beiwu Kingdom or Huayue Kingdom let go of such a God-given opportunity?
In this way, Yuan Tengxian is really safe.
Shi Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but the emperor could at least divert his attention to the southwest again.
"Find out all the notes from the Ministry of War Yamen, and you can read them together later." Wu Kui also raised his head and ordered Shi Xuan, who was waiting in the corner outside the study.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
As an emperor, Yuan Teng had too few things to do. Although I can live my life as a fool, the blood of the Yang family makes me sit back and watch the country collapse while the matter is none of my business. Diligence is the foundation that I have adhered to since I took the throne. But even then, the copper bars are still decreasing and increasing every day, and things are still happening one after another.
Shi Xuan should have finished picking neatly from a small copper box under Wu Kui's desk. The copper bars of the Ministry of War are painted red, which is most conspicuous outside the bars of all yamen.
Especially in the Ministry of War, there would be too few notes, accounting for at least 10% or even less of the emperor's daily affairs. But in the past six months, the number of notes coming to the Ministry of War has reached less than 20%.
"Your Majesty, they have all been picked out."
"Yeah. He'll look outside and see if there are any notes about the Forbidden Army. He'll find them and show them to you first."
After July, Wu Kui transferred 20,000 of the 80,000 imperial troops stationed in the imperial city to Nanyuan Kingdom. At the same time, he quickly recruited soldiers from the northern counties to fill the local garrisons, and then transferred the veterans outside the garrisons to form reinforcements. One battalion after another they were sent to Yuan Tengxian.
Wu Kui had only one thought: Even if Nanyuan Kingdom was destroyed, Baishi City would still be lost! However, the monster clan's military strength will be limited again. Who knows if these monster clans will go crazy if they invite them?
"Your Majesty, that one is it."
Outside the lacquered copper bar outside the yamen of the Ministry of War, Yuan Tengwu found a copper bar inlaid with the royal family emblem. Forty percent of the military expenditure of the Forbidden Army comes from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it belongs to the royal family's private army. Although it appears that the army belongs to the Ministry of War, the actual control has never fallen to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and has always been controlled by the emperor himself.
Yuan Teng took the copper bar from the Forbidden Army and looked over it quickly before unfolding it, frowning. Then I read it carefully word for word and put it aside.
Wu Kui was silent for a while before continuing to pick up the remaining copper bars from the Ministry of War and finish checking them. The speed of viewing is sometimes slow and sometimes fast. Half an hour passed very slowly. Wu Kui also read all the copper bars in the Ministry of War Yamen.
stood up from the chair. Wu Kui walked to the window and looked at the night sky, which was so white that even the moonlight could be seen. But he was lost in thought for a long time.
"Yang Sheng can be regarded as his half-disciple. I studied with him for several years. You remember walking through your path, right?" Wu Kui suddenly asked this question thoughtfully without thinking about it.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Yang Sheng did learn skills from the old slave when he was young. The old slave brought me from the middle stage of Tongqiao Realm to the early stage, so I found another teacher."
Wu Kui turned around, looked at Shi Xuan who was bowing slightly in front of him and tying his hands, and then asked: "What does he think of me?"
"Your Majesty, the old slave has been in contact with Yang Sheng in the past few years. Yang Sheng is still relatively young and does not have the power he has today. It is really a crime to dare to make harsh judgments and mislead Your Majesty in his decision."
It's because Yuan Teng is afraid of disaster, but it's true that Yang Sheng and I haven't been in contact for too long. People, the same period and the same environment will change. I dare to interfere with Yuan Teng's judgment by talking nonsense at that time. During the day today, Wu Kui had a long talk with the head of the Military Department and his adjutant, and I was also listening. I understand that the emperor wants to put the proposal of the Ministry of War Yamen under the table and consider it carelessly.
Wu Kui snorted and was satisfied with Shi Xuan's answer. But the reason why I asked that question was because I really wanted to hear Shi Xuan's opinion, but I was determined in my heart.
"Yuan Teng has just entered the middle stage of Duanshan Realm, and he is a young man in the early stage of Duanshan Realm. If he is Yang Sheng's supervisor and is close to him, can he not be sure to take his life when the last resort is necessary?"
Shi Xuan was able to avoid that question and quickly bowed and said: "I'm not sure!"
"That's good! He is going to serve as a supervisor in the small camp of the Eastern Army after preparation. I will ask Yang Sheng to move the main force of the Eastern Army to the southwest, to the west end of Changhu County to stabilize the central area. Then I will leave the previous one Thousands of forbidden troops are sent to Nanyuan Kingdom!"
