Su Yun glanced at Yue Qingfeng and said in a teasing tone:
"Master Yue, your Huashan sect will soon be the largest sect among the six sects. If your two disciples join the army, it will be difficult to find candidates for the position of grandmaster."
Yue Qingfeng looked helpless:
"There is nothing I can do about it. Now that the apprentice has grown, it is no longer up to the master."
Su Lu put down the porridge bowl, wiped his mouth, and asked Su Yi next to him:
"Over at Jinyiwei, bring the case files about Huashan to Head Yue for a look."
Su Yi stretched out his hand, took the case file from Ding Ning, held it in his hand, and looked at Yue Qingfeng who looked nervous with a smile.
Yue Qingfeng's heart thumped, knowing that Jin Yiwei must have mastered his past. Thinking about the secret things he had done, Yue Qingfeng's heart beat. He didn't know how many dark things about himself had been discovered in this case file.
.
Yue Chong looked at his father, gritted his teeth, took a step forward, lowered his head, and extended his hand respectfully.
Su Yi put the case file in Yue Chong's hand and said with a smile on his face:
"Yue Chong, you are a talented person. You are willing to join the army. That's great."
After listening to Su Yi's words, Yue Chong was sure that joining the army would be a good thing for the Huashan Sect and his father.
Yue Qingfeng suppressed the impulse in his chest, took the case file from Yue Chong's hand, and after turning a page, his face suddenly turned pale.
With one knee on the ground, Yue Qingfeng knelt in front of the case:
"Qingfeng knows that his crime is unpardonable. Please forgive me for saving my life in Huashan. Qingfeng will let my disciples live."
The tallow torch inserted into the wall of the tent was beeping and burning. There was silence in the tent. When the patrolling sergeant walked around outside the tent, the sonorous sound of beetle leaves rubbing could be heard, and the surrounding area was silent.
Yue Chong and Han Ning'er also knelt down and said at the same time:
"I would like to hear your Majesty's fate, and beg Your Majesty to spare the lives of all the disciples in Huashan Mountain."
Su Lu waved his hand and motioned for the three of them to stand up:
"If it were my past temper, Yue Qingfeng, you would definitely be killed today, but since you just saved my life, I can spare your life."
Yue Qingfeng was a smart man, so he immediately kowtowed and shouted:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing my life. Qingfeng is willing to obey Your Majesty's orders, and Huashan is willing to obey Your Majesty's orders."
Su Lu nodded:
"Most of the Huashan disciples should join the army."
Su Lu turned to Su Yi next to him:
"I am preparing to form a new army. The sergeants will be drawn from the disciples of each faction and will be under your direct command."
Su Yi was a little stunned and didn't understand why a new army should be established and placed under his leadership. However, his father had orders and he just had to listen.
Everyone in the tent was dismissed, and Su Yi asked Su Lu:
"Father, why do we need to form a new army? Our Han army is already strong enough. Although the Slavs are powerful, they are only on par with us."
There was silence outside the tent, and the moonlight passed through the scattered curtains and fell on the ground inside the tent, leaving a milky white luster.
Su Lu took a few steps forward, opened the curtain, looked at the scattered military camps under the moonlight, and said in a deep voice:
"Your mother and I are getting older, and it's time for you to take over the throne. There is a saying you must remember: power comes from the handle of a sword. Only when you control the army, the emperor is the real emperor."
Su Yi looked a little moved when he heard this:
"Father, you and your mother are in the prime of life and are at a good age. I don't want to be the emperor."
Su Lu rubbed Su Yi's hair, his face full of doting:
"This matter is not up to you. Your mother has been the emperor for so many years and she has long been tired of it. Sooner or later you will have to take over this burden."
"You are my Su Lu's daughter. You will definitely be a good emperor in the future. Your mother and I will definitely be proud of you in the future."
Su Yi swallowed back his words of rejection. He knew that his mother was in a lot of trouble when she was in charge of the government. If it was true as his father said, and his mother wanted to put down her burden, he could only take it up.
"Okay, I agree."
Su Lu nodded:
"To form a new army based on the disciples of the Huashan Sect, we must be familiar with military formations and be able to use them as sharp knives to break through the formations and defeat the enemy. We must also be able to assassinate and attack the enemy outside the battle formations."
"The weather is getting warmer now, and the north is getting warmer too. It's time to attack the Slavic Principality."
"You lead the army north, cooperate with the internal forces, and destroy the Slavic principality. Then return to the capital, and take advantage of the opportunity of destroying the country to ascend to Dabao and inherit the throne."
Su Yi nodded, tears welling up in his eyes.
On the second day, Yue Qingfeng selected Huashan's elite disciples and were incorporated into the Jinyi Personal Army by Su Yi.
One month later, the Jinyi army was fully trained and Su Yi personally led the army and defeated the Slavic army under the city. Only Vladimir was spared.
Su Lu personally presided over the farewell, and Su Yi led the army to go north to destroy the Slavic Principality.
Cao Hua stayed in the north and cooperated with Zhang Lu to ensure the logistics supply of the army.
Su Lu returned to the capital and met Li Qing.
Li Qing has a soft temper, and without Su Lu in charge of the capital, it is much more difficult to manage politics these days.
In Qinzheng Hall, Su Lu looked at Li Qing:
"Abdication?"
Li Qingzheng was immersed in handling the memorial, and when he heard the words, he said nonchalantly:
"If you are willing to be the emperor, I will abdicate the throne immediately. My daughter is young and you are unwilling to govern. If I retire, this huge empire will be over."
"It's easy for you to abdicate. I want to abdicate too."
"By the way, why did you let your daughter go north to destroy the Slavic Principality? If something happens, what should we do?"
Li Qing scolded Su Lu in a tired tone.
Su Lu looked at Li Qing:
"I asked my daughter to go north so that after annihilating the Slavic Principality, she would come back with a great victory to ascend the throne and inherit the throne."
Li Qing finally raised his head from the memorial and looked at Su Lu, his face full of confusion:
"Daughter, you are still young."
As he said this, there was a lot of hesitation on Li Qing's cheeks. His daughter was not very old, but he was only about this age when he inherited the throne.
Is my daughter really still young?
abdicate?
Li Qing suddenly laughed, he had long wanted to abdicate.
Putting down the pen in his hand, Li Qing walked to Su Lu and said with a smile:
"That's good. While we are still alive, we can help our daughter to check things in, so that she knows how to handle government affairs and not make too many mistakes."
Su Lu shook his head:
"Your way of handling government affairs may not be correct."
Li Qing glanced at Su Lu:
"Your method is right, it's true. I don't see you coming to teach me how to deal with government affairs."
Rushing footsteps sounded outside the hall, and a female official quickly arrived at the door of the hall.
"Your Majesty, I am so happy."
Li Qing waved his hand, and the guard guarding the door let go. The female officer rushed into the hall and knelt in front of Li Qing.
"Your Majesty, I am very happy. Your Highness has defeated the Slavic army in the north and has destroyed the Slavic principality."
