The side hall of the Ganqing Palace.

Li Wan'er changed into a black regular dress, with a golden dragon embroidered on the hem of the clothes. She sat upright with a cold look, and was powerful without anger. She was imposing. She calmly glanced at the ministers in the hall, "Tang Xuanyi, the leader of the southern thief, became king. How should you fight this battle? What do you think?"

Several cabinet ministers stood in the hall without saying a word. Because they had been arguing about this matter for a long time, and the opinions in the cabinet were not unified. At this moment, no one spoke and it was a mess.

Seeing this, a strange look flashed in Li Wan'er's eyes, "You are all pillars of the country. The little traitors only occupy the five states. Even if they have the support of the Demon Sect, my Great Zhou is still not afraid. Why are you wandering and timid!" The cold voice was a little dissatisfied.

Finally, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Daozhi, stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty calmed down. The major affairs of the country are in the military, and the wars are together, and good fortune is unpredictable. If we really compete for hard power, we will naturally not be afraid of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but there are too many factors that determine the outcome on the battlefield, and we need to consider all aspects."

Another old minister, Li Wenxuan, nodded and echoed, "What the master said is that now, the rebels in the south confront us, and together with the battle, they will affect the overall situation. At that time, it may not be the only one who takes action."

Li Wan'er frowned slightly, "What I mean is there any other forces who will intervene?"

Li Wenxuan cleared his throat and explained, "The three major sects in the cultivation world have a profound heritage and a long history. My Great Zhou is far from that. The three major sects used to check and balance each other, so the current Demon Sect is so restrained. Otherwise, the Anti-Thief Sect now occupy more than the five states."

"But, Your Majesty, don't forget that the three sects are limited by agreement and cannot directly participate in the war, but the dragon clan and the demon clan are not restricted. There are many water in the south and dense hills, which is not conducive to cavalry fighting, but it is an excellent battlefield for the dragon clan."

"Your Majesty, just imagine that when the Great Zhou Dynasty was fighting with the rebels, a dragon navy suddenly appeared to attack the rear or cut off food and supplies, which would have a devastating blow to the entire war soldiers."

"Also, the demon clan and the dragon clan have already tore up the alliance and invade the territory of the Great Zhou. If they are not my clan, their hearts will be different. These two clans will sooner or later confront the Great Zhou. If they participate in this war, I will not be surprised at all."

A short speech made Li Wan'er calm down quickly. She didn't expect these things, but just subconsciously ignored them. What she was considering was not war.

It is the influence brought by the rebels' title of queen. If the Great Zhou Dynasty was still lukewarm and slowly, it would definitely shake the people's hearts. Those gentry from aristocratic families were fences, and the wind blew on both sides. Although they did not blatantly support the rebels, no one knew what they thought secretly.

If the Great Zhou turned a blind eye to the rebels and did not use thunderbolt means to attack them, it would have a great political impact. She must have this determination, as would the civil and military officials in the court.

Li Wan'er nodded, her expression calmed down, and she said with a smile, "This is really a matter of old conspiracy. Her mother often says that Mr. Li is an old minister left by her father and a pillar of the country. I also agree with it."

"Your Majesty is a mistake. The old minister is useless. If he is a successful country, I will not be as good as all the colleagues here." Li Wenxuan waved his hand and looked humble.

Before the other cabinet ministers could speak, Li Wan'er stopped the topic in time, "Get back to the point, now we must fight this battle. Tomorrow, you all come up with a charter and discuss together. It is necessary to send troops as soon as possible." The words were full of firmness and could not be refuted.

His Highness's extremely cabinet ministers looked at each other and could only take it.

······

At this time, Su Ming had already returned to the National Master's Mansion. As soon as he walked into the mansion, a white shadow crashed into his arms. It was soft and furry.

"Xiaobai, long time no see." Su Ming pulled out Xiaobai in his arms, strangled the back of her fate, and put it in front of him.

Suddenly, Xiaobai stopped moving, his claws drooped, and roared at Su Ming with dissatisfaction.

"Aowoo."

"It's all the soul demons, why do you still like sleeping so much?" Su Ming put it in his arms. It immediately found a comfortable position to lie down, and his claws firmly grasped his clothes.

"Oh, I still need to experience it." Looking at the white kitten snuggling in my arms, Su Ming laughed silently.

It was still a bit of a thrust to help grow. Although Xiaobai is a great demon of the soul, her mind is no different from an ordinary ten-year-old child. She grew up too fast and experienced too little. Even if she had memories of the blood inheritance of the White Tiger, her mind could not be inherited, so Xiaobai was very dependent on Su Ming.

Of course, if she fights against the enemy, Xiaobai will not be able to bear the lake at all. She is carrying the bloodline of the White Tiger and the Dragon Clan. The fighting genes are engraved in her bones. She is not very ambitious at ordinary times, but once she is on the battlefield, she will immediately become a killing machine.

After playing with Xiaobai for a while, Su Ming gave her a calm spell. Looking at her petite body, pink nose, long beard swaying restlessly, and her naughty and cute appearance, he gently stroked her head and sighed, "Stop sleeping, there will be few days like this in the future."

······

The next day, the court meeting began normally.

The sky was already bright, and the bright and clear sunlight came from the sky, shooting on the flying tiles of the dove eaves, and the elixir of blue light shone, folding halos of different sizes, one after another, falling below.

Glazed tiles, white jade railings, skylight shines, and the atmosphere is vast. The entire imperial city exudes bright brilliance, making people feel the majesty of the imperial city.

The civil and military officials were dressed in court robes and came in from the outer door, whispering to each other. After entering the inner door, they kept silent, sorted out their clothes and entered the hall safely, and found their own place to stand.

After a while, a bell rang, and the palace maid and eunuch slowly came with yellow gauze. Li Wan'er, wearing a black court robe, walked up to the Danbao and sat down on the dragon throne.

All the ministers stepped forward to salute, and after the ceremony, they stood up again.

Li Wan'er sat upright on the throne, and the eyes of the people under the crown were deep and restrained, unpredictable. "Today's court meeting, we will still talk about the issue of sending troops. My dear friends can speak freely."

Several cabinet ministers had already communicated with the emperor about this matter, so the court meeting was not as noisy as before, and the general route and framework had been formulated.

But in the end, I got stuck somewhere.

"Your Majesty, it is reasonable for the imperial court to send troops to eliminate the rebels, but the area of ​​the surrounding border is not stable. If these forces unite with the rebels, how should the frontline soldiers deal with it?"

If you want to send troops, this is a reality that you have to face.

Although the court officials did not say it clearly, everyone knew what those forces represented. Although the Great Zhou was a traditional court, he was not unfamiliar with monks, and would not keep silent. He just expressed it more obscurely.

Zhang Daozhili kept silent in front of the ministers. Li Wenxuan, who was behind him, stood up and stopped and said, "The court will deal with this matter. You just need to do your part and prepare for the war with peace of mind."

At this time, a general came out and said, "Mr. Li, even though that is the case, you must give us a brief explanation, otherwise we will not feel at ease."

"Yes, Lord Li."

"Mr. Li, why bother to hide it? It's time."

······

The words of this general immediately aroused the consent of other military officers in the hall. Most of them were about to go to the war, so this question was asked.

At this moment, a cold voice sounded, "Don't worry, military and national affairs are not a joke, I will make you feel at ease." After saying that, the eunuch standing beside him stepped forward and shouted loudly,

"The Xuanqin Tianshang Supervisor's Supervisor Pudu Cihang's visit!"

"National Master!"

"When will he come back?"

······

Suddenly, the court officials looked at each other and began to talk in a low voice. In their impression, this national master has always been a dragon who has never seen his head and no tail, and rarely appears at court meetings. Why did he come today?

Compared with the differences between civil servants, the military officers relaxed when they heard this name. At this time, His Majesty brought the national rank to the court meeting, which clearly made him go to the war with the army. With such a great god in charge, they could feel at ease.

Under the guidance of the eunuch, Su Ming came to the hall, passed through the court officials from both civil and military rows, and came to the front of Danbi.

"I'm going to see your Majesty."

"Let the national teacher be calm." Seeing Su Ming in the hall, a trace of inexplicable emotion appeared in Li Wan'er.

At the same time, Zhang Daozhi, who was standing in front of the civil servants, saw Su Ming, and a complex look flashed in his eyes: He has not changed! A few years ago, when he saw this monk for the first time, he thought he would be a slander, and he was lucky enough to rely on the favor of the emperor and could not withstand the invasion of the court.

But now, he has to admit that he was wrong.

A few years have passed, and the weather has changed. The one who was sitting on the dragon throne has passed away. He is still the chief minister of the dynasty, but he has gradually entered his twilight years. However, this monk is still in his prime and unlucky in favor and disgrace.

Although this person was not in the court, the court and the public were very familiar with him. Even if the emperor changed one, his status was still so stable, and the Holy Scroll was even more powerful than when the late emperor was alive.

In this case, it is rare for him to maintain his true intentions and not participate in political affairs.

"This time, the national army will lead the soldiers of Xuanjingsi to go to war with the army. What do you think?" Just as Zhang Daozhi was dazed, Li Wan'er's voice gradually became clear in his ears.

It turns out that His Majesty’s trump card is him!

Zhang Daozhi knew it in his heart and did not object. In fact, he also believed that this was the best way to deal with it at present. The troops of other states should not be easily mobilized, otherwise it would easily cause unstable local areas.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were displayed on the northwest border. Although the Tatar energy on the grassland was severely damaged, it should not be underestimated. Moreover, the distance cannot quench the near thirst, and the troops can be supported are limited.

Therefore, this time the expedition, the imperial court planned a military force of 500,000, and was accompanied by two million civilians to operate logistics supplies. This number is the data derived from the ministers in the court many times, which is very suitable.

When the military officers heard Li Wan'er's words, they immediately calmed down and had no objection, "Your Majesty is wise!"

After entering the hall, Su Ming had been observing the ministers in the hall. Compared to when Emperor Shenwu was alive, there were many fewer ministers in the court and not as bloated. Many figures disappeared in the court. Some of them retired and returned home, while others were put into prison, and their families were confiscated and their families were exterminated...

The atmosphere in the court is relatively harmonious, without any decay, bloated and smoky atmosphere.

The tone of the court meeting has been decided, and the problem that should be solved has been solved. The next step is to fully implement this matter and some other political affairs.

After going to court, Su Ming was called by the eunuch before he walked out of the square in front of the hall, "Sir, Your Majesty, summoned him." Seeing the eunuch in front of him, Su Ming was a little surprised. He had not noticed yesterday, but he only discovered today that he had only been out for half a year. Why did he feel that the people in the palace have changed a lot of the demon seeds he planted have disappeared?

It seems that the palace has not been peaceful in the past six months.

······

In the Qing Dynasty, Li Wan'er changed into a palace skirt as soon as she went to court, and wore a phoenix hairpin on her head, which reduced the majesty of the emperor and the softness of a woman.

"National Master, long time no see." As Su Ming was taken to the Ganqing Palace, Li Wan'er signaled the eunuchs and palace maids to retreat and come to him, smiling and laughing.

When he came back yesterday, he did not enter the palace, but only submitted a memorial. Today, it was the first time he entered the palace.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

"No need to be polite, there are no outsiders here." Li Wan'er wrinkled her nose, as if she was a little unhappy. As she further controlled the authority, she gradually let go of herself, and some of her little thoughts could no longer suppress her.

"Sit." Li Wan'er walked to the couch and knelt down.

Su Ming did not refuse, and sat directly opposite her. There was a small table on the couch, and there was a set of tea sets on the table. Li Wan'er did not open her mouth, picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea. The whole process was smooth, complex but extremely beautiful.

Li Wan'er gently pushed the teacup in front of him and said casually, "I heard that you like to drink Cuiyuya tea, bring two pounds when you leave later." Su Ming was about to speak, but Li Wan'er glared at her eyes, "Don't refuse!"

"Since that's the case, I'm so disrespectful." After saying that, he picked up the teacup and drank it lightly. The warm tea water was filled with fragrance. As soon as it entered his mouth, the fragrance remained on his teeth, refreshing his heart.

Good tea art!

Su Ming was a little surprised. Li Wan'er was not old and had government affairs to deal with. How could tea art be so good? Although he was confused, he did not ask.

He savored the tea quietly, silently.

Li Wan'er also picked up the tea and drank it gently. After drinking a cup of tea, Li Wan'er picked up the teapot and added another cup. However, at this time, Su Ming did not drink it anymore, but looked at Li Wan'er quietly and waited for her to speak.

Savoring the tea quietly, silently.

Sure enough, after putting down the teapot, Li Wan'er looked at Su Ming, but she couldn't help but touch his gaze. Her heart trembled and began to jump around, which scared her to quickly withdraw her gaze, and her pretty face also turned a little red.
Chapter completed!
