Sima Lang said in a deep voice: "Now His Majesty controls the border, which is very disadvantageous for us. There are often wars with the Shadow Clan on the border. This is not good news, because those armies are newly formed.
, What they need now is training, and there is nothing better than the battlefield to train new recruits. If those troops are allowed to train for two years and turn them into elite veterans, then that army will be enough to help His Majesty.
The complete control is to live in the court. This is definitely not good news for us, so what I mean is that the first thing we have to do is to get several defense zones from His Majesty. We
There must be a defense zone and the control is in our hands. Your Majesty must not be allowed to control all the border defense zones by himself. That would be really disadvantageous for us."
He Tuizhi nodded, and then said: "It makes sense. Brother Sima's words make sense. We must not let His Majesty completely control the border defense line. We must take action. We must establish several defense zones from His Majesty.
In addition, I think we can do something about armaments. When I sent people to investigate before, I discovered a problem. Although those armies are the emperor's own troops, the armaments in their hands do not seem to be neat. There are some
The soldiers don't even have armor or weapons. They seem to be there just to farm. We can think of ways to control the amount of their armaments so that their development cannot be accelerated."
Everyone nodded, and then He Tuizhi continued: "For now, this is all we can do. Now those armies belong to the emperor's own army. We can't go too far, and we can't
I have offended His Majesty to death. The power in His Majesty's hands is not small now. Those newly formed armies are nothing. They have not yet formed combat effectiveness. But don't forget that those standing behind those armies are those sects and those
There are also some masters in the sect, and they should all be regarded as His Majesty's people now. If we really offend His Majesty, and His Majesty really unites those people to deal with us with all his strength, it will only be worse.
Trouble."
Everyone nodded, and Sima Lang said: "Then tomorrow's court meeting, we must mention this matter to see what His Majesty thinks, but no matter what His Majesty thinks, we must let His Majesty
, give up a few defense areas, so that tomorrow we will jointly sign on the list, only in this way will His Majesty take it seriously."
He Tuizhi nodded and said in a deep voice: "Yes, it must be so. Let's do this. Tomorrow we will make a list together and ask His Majesty to give up a few defense zones no matter what. General Wu, you have arranged the army. Once His Majesty
After giving up defense zones, you must allow the army to enter those defense zones as soon as possible."
General Wu's name is Samurai Ying. He is the general who cried when he heard that three tribes were wiped out in Youchang. He has a very good relationship with Youchang, so he cried when he heard that something happened to Youchang.
, now he was asked to mobilize the army, of course he was willing, so he immediately agreed.
This warrior Ying is also capable of mobilizing the army, because he is the Minister of the Ministry of War. Here in Immortal Court, under the Immortal Emperor, the highest status is the left and right ministers. Under the left and right ministers, there are the six ministers. This warrior
Ying Zheng was the Minister of War, and he was in charge of the military affairs in the Immortal Realm. The two men on his left and right were quite old, and it was because of his support that they were able to step by step eclipse the Immortal Emperor and control the world's soldiers and horses.
As soon as Samurai Ying heard what He Tuizhi said, he immediately nodded and said: "Don't worry, Minister Zuo, I will definitely make arrangements."
He Tuizhi nodded, then he glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone should prepare when we go back. Everyone should prepare a memorial. We will submit it together tomorrow." Everyone responded in agreement, and then left.
Why retreat to this home?
Sima Lang did not leave, but stayed. After everyone else left, Sima Lang said: "This time, His Majesty seems to have been prepared. He may have guessed that we are going to compete with him for the defense area.
So he divided the defense zone into twenty. There are only eleven sects that have contact with His Majesty, and there is also a Blood Killing Sect, which is a bit strange. I have seen this sect in a memorial before.
However, they seem to be a sect that ascended from the lower world. They used to only operate in the Qing Mansion, but for some reason, they were noticed by His Majesty."
He Tuizhi said in a deep voice: "You mean, His Majesty has prepared twenty defense zones, eight of which are just for us to rob. If we insist on a defense zone, Your Majesty will give us those eight defense zones?"
"He Tuizhi didn't take the Blood Killing Sect seriously. He really didn't care how strong a sect that ascended from the lower world could be.
Having said that, it doesn't matter whether he cares about the Blood Killing Sect now, it is of no use. The Blood Killing Sect has now controlled a defense area, and they have the identity of the emperor's personal army. They have no way to deal with the Blood Killing Sect.
, so no matter whether the Blood Killing Sect is strong or weak, they have no way to deal with the Blood Killing Sect now.
Sima Lang just mentioned the Blood Killing Sect casually. In fact, he didn't take it seriously. Once he heard He Tuizhi's question, he no longer cared about the Blood Killing Sect, but asked He Tuizhi: "Yes.
, I just have this feeling, this time, I feel that from beginning to end, His Majesty is digging holes for us, including that Diao Guangwu, who originally proposed this proposal, which seems to be the beginning of the whole plan."
It has to be said that old officials like Sima Lang are really sensitive to political matters. Through this series of actions of the Immortal Emperor, they could directly guess when the Immortal Emperor
Started setting up.
He Tuizhi nodded and said: "It's very possible, but it's useless to talk about this now. Let's think about what to do in the future. What do you think we should do in the future?"
Sima Lang frowned, and then said in a deep voice: "It's really hard to say what will happen in the future, but one thing is that we are afraid that we will have to make some concessions in the future, otherwise, the conflict may intensify. This is not
It’s not a good thing, so we can make concessions in the future, but not too much.”
He Tuizhi nodded, and Sima Lang continued: "Now we must control the treasury, and at the same time, we must not let the income of His Majesty's inner government increase. In that case, it will only be more troublesome.
, even if we want to employ people in the future, we must be careful, and we must not reuse those who are valued by His Majesty."
He Tuizhi said in a deep voice: "Yes, this is indeed the case. That's all. That's it. Let everyone be more careful in the future. Also, that Diao Guangwu, don't touch him now. If we touch him now
, then Your Majesty will definitely protect him, and there will definitely be a big fuss when the time comes, so let him be at ease for a few days first."
Sima Lang nodded, and He Tuizhi sighed softly and said: "I really didn't expect that the situation changed so quickly. I thought that we controlled all the state capitals in the world, and His Majesty had nothing to do with us. I didn't expect that Your Majesty would actually
After such a move, it doesn’t matter, the Shadow Clan has not been wiped out yet, for the sake of the stability of the fairy world, we can only endure it for a while." Sima Lang responded without saying anything, and then he said goodbye and left.
The next day was the Great Court Meeting. Sima Lang and He Tuizhi both went to court. They were really worried that the Immortal Emperor would not come to the court, but they did not expect that the Immortal Emperor would arrive as soon as the Great Court Meeting began.
After giving the gift to the Immortal Emperor, the Immortal Emperor had a smile on his face, looked at Sima Lang and the others, and then said: "Dear dear friends, do you have this memorial?"
He Tuizhi and Sima Lang looked at each other, and then Sima Lang stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I heard that the twenty defense zones on the border are now all garrisoned by your Majesty's troops. I wonder if this is the case?
"
The Immortal Emperor looked at Sima Lang. He knew that Sima Lang asked this question deliberately, and he did not deny it. There was nothing to deny, so he nodded and said: "Yes, my dear friends agreed at the beginning, let me
Forming the emperor's personal army and then stationing at the border, I did it for the sake of the immortal world. What, do you have any opinions?"
Sima Lang then said: "Your Majesty, I don't have any objections, but it is really inappropriate for all the twenty defense zones on the border to be guarded by the emperor's own troops. Therefore, I believe that some troops should be sent to garrison the border defense zones."
At this moment, a minister immediately stood up and shouted: "I second the proposal!" "I second the proposal!"...
The Immortal Emperor glanced at those ministers, with a hint of a smile on his face, and looked at Sima Lang and said: "Well, Sima Aiqing, I wonder if you think it is appropriate for my troops to give up a few defense zones."
Sima Lang looked at the Immortal Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I think eight defense zones are the most suitable. Please make your decision."
When the Immortal Emperor heard what Sima Lang said, the half-smiling expression on his face stopped, and he looked at Sima Lang with narrowed eyes. Sima Lang stood there, bowing slightly, but his eyes were looking at the Immortal Emperor.
Looking at each other, the Immortal Emperor looked at Sima Lang and laughed suddenly: "Okay, I will follow your wishes."
Sima Lang immediately saluted the Immortal Emperor and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." After saying that, he stepped back and stopped talking. The two had just had a secret confrontation, and Sima Lang said directly, asking the Immortal Emperor to give way.
By leaving eight defense zones, you are clearly telling the Immortal Emperor that we already know your bottom line, and we also know where your troops came from, so we asked you to give up eight defense zones.
The Immortal Emperor also understood what he meant, so the Immortal Emperor did not object and directly agreed. Many people in the court saw the secret confrontation between the two, but no one said anything. But at this time
He Tie took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, our Immortal Realm has regained a large area of lost land this year. However, it would be a waste if those lands were left uncultivated. Therefore, I would like to ask your Majesty to issue an order to relocate the people to the land.
The land will be cultivated so that tomorrow we will produce more food. Please allow your majesty."
This is normal official business, so when the Immortal Emperor heard what He Tuizhi said, he thought about it, nodded and said: "I'm sure, the land we took back was originally our land. Now it is indeed our time to let people
After we return to their land and start farming, I will personally supervise this matter and make sure there are no mistakes." He Tuizhi responded and then returned to the court.
