Within the inner fort area that was renamed Snow Castle from Daming Mansion.
The "Taizheng Pavilion", which was originally very deserted, has now been renovated again and has gained a bit more popularity.
"Taizheng Pavilion" was originally the office space of the "Taizheng Minister".
The Minister of Taizheng is a non-permanent official position with a maximum of one person. He is responsible for assisting the king of the country, prime minister of state affairs, and setting an example for all officials. He is equivalent to "grand master" or "prime minister".
But in fact, in the history of the Kingdom of Snow, there are very few people who can serve as ministers of Taizheng.
However, after Fenghua Xiaoxue succeeded to the throne of the country, she filled the long-vacant position of Taizheng Minister.
Some ministers inquired several times, but still knew very little about the new Taizheng Minister.
All I know is that he is the man who crowned His Highness Xiaoxue and was called the "Eternal Standing of the Country".
At this time, inside the Taizheng Pavilion.
Looking at the girl in front of him, Menma said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that those old guys will talk about you again?"
"Yeah~ old people are kind-hearted."
Fenghua Xiaoxue shook her head and chuckled: "As you get older, you will inevitably nag a bit. If they want to talk, let them talk. There will be no loss."
A week has passed since her succession ceremony.
For the subjects of the Kingdom of Snow, this may be a very important matter.
But for the five powerful countries with transcendent status and strength, it was just a symbolic way to send envoys to congratulate.
Other than that, I didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, this is just a regime change in the Kingdom of Snow.
Some officials who betrayed due to the force of Feng Hua Raging were not exterminated by Menma, but were all transferred to positions "suitable" for them.
The army of the Land of Snow is composed of ordinary soldiers and snow ninjas who know how to use chakra.
The faction headed by Langya Xuebeng has all been eliminated by Chi Yue, and the other part is being imprisoned in cells for transformation.
Naturally, all the remaining snow ninjas were taken over and formally incorporated into the Snow Country's troops, and continued to serve in the construction of the Snow Country.
This is something Menma and Fuka Koyuki tacitly agree on.
As for those courtiers and snow ninjas who have evil intentions...
Boom! Boom!
A knock on the door suddenly sounded from outside.
"Please come in."
Wait until Menma finished speaking.
Wearing a mask, Uchiha Shisui walked into the room and said in a respectful tone: "Master, those people have all given their account."
After saying that, he handed the information scroll in his hand to Menma.
"Did you explain it so quickly? You really think highly of them."
Menma opened the scroll, looked at the names on it, and couldn't help but laugh: "There is no difference at all from the candidate I guessed."
Although the succession ceremony was heavily guarded and screened rigorously.
The attendants, ministers, officials and people who participated in the ceremony all went through multiple physical examinations.
But Menma had already guessed that there would be some fool who was determined to cause trouble at the succession ceremony.
I just didn't expect their reaction to be so slow, and they didn't make up their mind to take action until the ceremony was about to end.
As a result, there was no time to get close to Fenghua Xiaoxue.
Menma, who was eager to see the excitement, was defeated with lightning speed in front of all the subjects.
When he was discovered, the assassin subconsciously wanted to commit suicide by taking poison, but Menma instantly removed his jaw and arms and dug out the poison pellets in his teeth.
Then Uchiha Shisui asked who was behind the scenes.
"Now that everything has been explained, let's clean out the people here."
After that, Menma seemed to have thought of something again, and added with a smile: "By the way, don't forget to nationalize their property."
"If we want to innovate technology and systems, the financial pressure on Snow Country is not small."
The fate of those who harbored evil intentions was determined by his joking tone.
"yes."
Uchiha Shisui didn't feel anything strange, he just leaned forward slightly and said, "Then, I'll take my leave first."
After he leaves.
Menma keenly noticed the hesitation on Fenghua Koyuki's face.
"Xiaoxue, as an emperor, you should not be benevolent as a woman."
He gently touched her head: "We must treat our friends as warmly as spring, and treat our enemies as ruthlessly as winter."
That's what he's always done.
Xiaoxue only hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement with his handling.
A satisfied smile flashed across Menma's face.
This is also the reason why he chose the Country of Snow as the base of "Red Moon".
The five major countries with relatively complete systems cannot allow the uncontrolled "Red Moon" to wander within their control.
Only the Snow Country, which focuses on the development of "Chakra Technology", has the soil for the growth of "Red Moon".
the most important is.
To some extent, Feng Hua Furuo had already given Menma a good starting point during his reign.
After Fenghua Furutao, who was a soldier, came to power, he misappropriated funds from the national treasury to develop military power, which directly violated the interests of the aristocratic forces in the Kingdom of Snow.
But Fenghua Ragao is not as easy to talk to as Fenghua Zaoxue.
He directly used violent and cruel methods to eliminate all the nobles who opposed him, which greatly affected the power and power of the nobles of the Snow Kingdom.
Fenghua Xiaoxue was able to successfully ascend to the position of leader of the Snow Kingdom, and "Red Moon" was able to intervene in the affairs and power of the Snow Kingdom, thanks to Fenghua Furudao's operations.
If it were those greedy nobles, they would not allow their "cake" to be divided up by others.
Of course, if the nobles were dishonest, Menma wouldn't mind a more thorough purge.
After all, he is now the "elder brother" of Fenghua Xiaoxue, who wears the crown for the king.
"That's right, brother!"
Fenghua Xiaoxue seemed to have thought of something, so she took off the hexagonal crystal from her neck and said, "This should be useful to my brother, so I'd better put it in your hand."
"The Hexagonal Crystal...no, the Grayl Stone?"
Menma's brows wrinkled slightly, and finally he smiled.
"A gentleman never takes what others like. This is a gift from your father. How could I accept it?"
After that, he stood up and put the hexagonal crystal on Xiaoxue's neck again.
"But……"
Although Xiaoxue felt warm in her heart, she still hesitated and said, "Brother, don't you need this ore for research?"
From previous discussions, she also had some knowledge of this ore called Greel's Stone.
An important thing that can take the Snow Kingdom's military strength to a higher level.
If it was said that he had the attitude of being content with being rich, then after the rebellion of Fenghua and Raging Waves, the once naive Fenghua Xiaoxue also realized the importance of military strength.
Now that the Snow Country has boarded the "Red Moon" ship, one can also imagine the pressure that the Snow Country will face in the future.
They are already grasshoppers on a rope.
"It is indeed necessary."
Menma nodded, but then shook his head with a smile and said: "But this is just better than nothing, and it can't produce any results."
"Now that the situation in the Snow Kingdom has stabilized, I plan to go outside to look for Grayel ore."
