“Your Majesty!”
Shoufu Wang raised his voice and said emotionally, ‘
“According to the reports from the pond, Wei Yuan has already taken down
Jingshan city. The witch God religion has suffered heavy losses and lost nearly 70% of their experts. The Yan country’s Army had penetrated through its hinterlands and the city walls were already at the foot of the city. The cities that were difficult to conquer had already been taken down by Wei Yuan.
“The Jing Kingdom fought in the North for several months and suffered heavy losses. At present, only the Kang Kingdom had a relatively intact military force. If we fight again now, Da Feng’s descendants will be free from the witch God sect’s threat for a hundred years.”
His suggestion won the approval of a portion of the nobles and generals.
Wei Yuan had used up all of the witch God religion’s power to attack the headquarters and stop Da Feng’s Army from advancing. This was a once-in -a-thousand -years opportunity.
“Minister Wang .
Emperor Yuan jing waved his hand and said, “”He’s really being a warmonger,”
Wang shoufu looked at the Emperor who was sitting on the Dragon Throne. He opened his mouth and retreated dejectedly.
With his retreat, the wheel of history had turned in another direction. When the later generations looked back on this period of history, they analyzed the National power of Da Feng and the witchcraft cult. After comparing the losses of both sides, they all agreed that if Da Feng could be ruthless and fight against the witchcraft cult with the National power of the next ten years, they would be able to defeat the witchcraft cult.
Then, the witchcraft God religion, which had dominated the northeast for thousands of years, would collapse and be unable to rise again.
Countless people in the future sighed.
As for the green-robed God of War who had died in Jingshan city, the evaluation in the history books was:lt was a breath of life for the Central Plains.
Emperor Yuan jing no longer looked at chief advisor Wang, who had returned to the group. He turned to the ministers and asked, ” how do you think we should deal with this matter? ”
The Minister of War stepped out and bowed.
“I think that we should transfer 20000 troops from the neighboring provinces to the border of the three provinces. The remaining troops should be stationed at the border of the three provinces to prevent the witch God religion’s counterattack.
“In addition, since the Duke of Wei has already died, His Majesty will have to send another commander over.”
Emperor Yuan jing looked at him and saw that he did not continue, so he nodded and said, ‘”Minister Chen’s words are true.”
At this moment, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Qin Yuandao, stepped out and said, ‘”‘1f your Majesty wants peace, you should discuss the related matters as soon as possible and confirm the emissaries to be sent to the northeast.”
The Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Qin Yuandao, was a firm supporter of the Emperor. He shared the same pants as Yuan Xiong, who had been demoted to the Imperial Censorate of the right. The two of them were the core figures of the emperor’s faction.
The Minister of War, who was part of the Wei faction, glared at Qin Yuan and said.
He didn’t want to talk about peace because he still wanted to fight with the witchcraft cult to avenge Wei Yuan.
Emperor Yuan jing slowly nodded.
After Qin Yuandao returned to his position, the Minister of Revenue stepped out of the ranks and said, “”How should we decide on the compensation for the soldiers”‘
The hall fell into a dead silence.
For a long time, no one spoke.
“What do you think?” Emperor Yuan jing asked slowly.
He asked three times in a row, but no one responded.
Emperor Yuan jing looked at Yuan Xiong, the emperor’s loyal retinue. He avoided his gaze and did not say a word.
The matter of the pension involved a lot of things, very much.
According to Da Feng’s laws, the family would be paid 36 stone-rice for three years if an infantryman died. That would be 18 taels of silver. After that, he would be given 3-6 Dou of rice a month.
If a cavalryman died, they would be given 72 stonewalls of rice, which was 36 taels of silver. For their entire lives, they would be given 6-10 doumeters a month.
In order of that, different types of soldiers and different positions gave different compensation, and they all had strict rules and regulations.
In addition, there was another rule that caused the court to fall into a dead silence:
If they were defeated, their compensation would be halved!
The issue of compensation that the Minister of Revenue raised was only on the surface. What was behind it, and what really made the people hesitate, was the nature of this battle.
Would they win or lose this battle?
In the silence, chief advisor Wang stepped out and said in pain, ” Wei Yuan’s attack on the witch God religion’s headquarters is unprecedented in Da Feng’s history. We, Da Feng, have won this battle.
On the spot, some people responded, some were deep in thought, and some were mournful.
Emperor Yuan jing nodded slowly but did not respond to chief advisor Wang. Instead, he said, ”
“I’m a little tired. This matter is of great importance, so we’ll discuss it tomorrow.”
“Withdraw the court!” The old eunuch shouted.
“Bang Bang …”
The door of the room was knocked twice weakly, showing that the person who knocked on the door was a little lifeless.
Second uncle Xu, who was taking a break today, woke up and looked at his wife sleeping beside the pillow. He didn’t knock on the door, so he didn’t wake her up.
With second uncle Xu’s cultivation, he would immediately wake up if there was the slightest movement outside.
He left the warm bed, put on some clothes, and went to the outer room to open the door.
“Ningyan?”
His nephew was standing at the door. He was expressionless, and his brows were furrowed with gloominess.
Second uncle Xu’s heart sank. He knew his nephew too well. He could read his nephew’s mind with just one look and one tone.
No one knew his son better than his father. He had raised him with great difficulty, so he was no different from his son.
“Second uncle, pack up immediately and head to Yun Lu Academy. Let’s go there and, let’s hide for now.” Xu Qi ‘an said softly.
Second uncle Xu looked at him deeply. alright!
Xu Qi ‘an nodded and turned to knock on li Miaozhen’s door.
Dressed in a snow-white dress, with her cream-colored skin and lips, susu opened the door and said in a tender voice, ‘”What’s the matter?”
Ll Miaoznen was sitting at tne tame In a nutterlng ‘1’a01St roDe, arillK1ng tea and eating pastries.
Xu Qi ‘an ignored her. He glanced at the beauty and looked at li Miaozhen.”l want to go to the northeast border.”
“You’re going to war too?” li Miaozhen was stunned and asked.
“Lord Wei died on the battlefield.” Xu Qi ‘an shook his head.
Li Miaozhen’s face suddenly froze and the pastry in her hand fell to the ground.
She immediately came back to her senses and looked at Xu Qi ‘an nervously. She knew that this man trusted and respected Wei Yuan.
He also knew that Wei Yuan had done him a great favor.
For a moment, she didn’t know how to comfort him. Any words of comfort at this time would appear to be fake mercy.
Xu Qi ‘an said softly,
“I don’t believe it. I don’t believe that he will die in battle. So, please take me to the border. If … He’s really dead.”
He paused for a moment, and his eyes seemed to blur.”He has no children and no one to send him off. I want to go, I have to go …”
“Alright.” Li Miaozhen felt like a knife was being twisted.
[ PS: there’s still one more chapter to the Jean d ‘arc case. Wait for me to finish it. ] Previously, some people said that Jean d ‘ARC’s actions were unreasonable, but in fact, the case hadn’t been completely developed yet. You didn’t know his purpose, so you couldn’t understand his actions.
Curly tail will know, so don’t be impatient..
