at this time.

Weird wind.

Blowing in from the gate of Tianxia Palace, hovering around more than 100 important ministers of Daxia.

All the ministers in Daxia pricked up their ears, for fear of missing Li Jian's answer.

Emperor Xia was also quite curious!

What would this old guy say?

Li Jian raised his head and played a serious duet: "A few years before the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, our Great Xia court sent troops into the wilderness to fight against the Sirius soldiers every year. Why did it fail?"

"The reason, I believe everyone is very clear!"

"Because there is no food and no mines in the barren state, we transport food, grass and weapons from the Central Plains. The supply line is too long. If we call civilians to transport it back and forth, half of the food and grass will be eaten. The loss is huge, and we can't support the front-line troops to fight!"

Emperor Xia remained expressionless, unable to see any emotional changes: "So?"

"Therefore, I believe that the barren state is remote and baptized by 20 years of war, and it has long been destroyed. The wealth of the barren state has long been looted by the Sirian Empire. It is a poor and war-torn place, not worth mentioning. The army will protect each other."

"Also, the barren state is not rich in products, the land does not produce food, and the area is full of tricky mountain people. The exiled prisoners and after the prisoners, there are troublesome people in poor mountains and rivers. Rescue them will not be grateful to His Majesty's grace."

Li Jian raised his eyelids: "So, I think it is the right choice for the Ministry of War not to send troops to rescue the barren state for more than ten years."

"Therefore, I believe that it is enough to directly transfer the Qingzhou army to deploy defenses around Tianmen Mountain to prevent the Sirius army from entering the Central Plains from Qingzhou."

"Give up the barren state!"

Li Jian said sonorously and forcefully: "No troops!"

The voice fell.

Tianxia Hall became a little quieter.

All the ministers secretly peeked at Emperor Xia... If you can see your intentions from His Majesty's eyes, face, and body changes, then you can decide what to do next!

However, Emperor Xia remained expressionless and his limbs remained unchanged.

It's hard to guess!

at this time.

The prince looked at Li Jian, and was delighted with Li Jian's words.

really.

Li Shangshu is one of his own!

Smelly old nine, you just die in despair in the barren state!

at this time.

Cao Wei also looked at Li Jian with satisfaction!

This time, there is no salvation for the barren state, that damn barren state king is doomed!

The feud between his son Cao Bao and Cao Ma has finally been avenged!

Li Jian, avenging the two of them is considered a benefactor!

From now on, when he sleeps with the concubines of his two sons, he can deliberately pretend that life is worse than death without showing grief and indignation!

His sullen feeling of losing the beauty in the morning seems to have dissipated a lot.

He decided that in the future, he must help Li Jian in the government, so that he can have more power in the court.

at this time.

The prince quietly took two steps back, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Li Jian, it can be used to great effect!"

Cao Wei nodded empathetically!

That's great!

Also.

The princelings who had suffered a lot from the assassination of King Xia Tian of Huangzhou, looking at Li Jian's back, finally agreed that he was one of their own!

Congratulations to myself, another important minister has been added to the princeling party!

A very capable minister!

As for the feeling, it is fun!

As for the barren state, let him live or die.

As long as the prince ascends the throne, they will listen to the songs, watch the dances, and hold the oiran in their arms. They are very happy!

Therefore, all the Qingliu ministers of the princeling party who wanted to attack the Minister of War madly in the past fell silent!

The powers of other kings also kept silent!

Because, the more the emperor's son dies, the higher the possibility that their prince will seize the throne.

Anyway, it doesn't seem like a big deal to die a waste king of the barren state!

A few days ago, didn't the emperor hint that the prince killed that trash?

In the end, the prince was also a waste, and after suffering heavy losses, he was grounded.

next to.

The official historian looked at the faces of all the living beings in the Manchu Dynasty, and took a pen to record it.

At this time.

Emperor Xia stood up as usual to ask questions about politics, with no expression on his face: "My dear friends, Li Aiqing said that he will not send troops into the desert, let's talk about your views!"

No one came out to speak!

This year, the military affairs in Huangzhou were discussed, and the atmosphere of the court was a bit strange.

He called names directly: "Prime Minister Zuo, tell me your opinion!"

As the head of all officials, Sima Jian was the first to speak without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I believe that this year, we should send troops!"

"what......"

Emperor Xia couldn't help being a little surprised: "Master Zuo, in previous years, you were always opposed to sending troops to fight in the barren state. Why did you change your mind this time?"

Sima Jian was about to speak.

next to.

Cao Wei caught Sima Jian's hand, and said: "Your Majesty, I think Prime Minister Zuo changed his mind because his daughter is in the barren state!"

Sima Jian frowned: "Prime Minister You, you have slandered the truth in front of His Majesty without proof, what should you do?"

"You are in a hurry!"

When Cao Wei thought that Sima Lan was in the barren state and that Sima Jian was about to die his daughter, he felt very happy: "Your Majesty, the most difficult thing in this world is the relationship between father and son and father and daughter."

"Then Sima Lan is in the barren state, he must not let it go, so it is false to send the imperial army to save the barren state, but it is true to save his own daughter!"

"This kind of mood, I also understand. If the daughter of the minister is in the barren state, if you don't send soldiers to save her, is she still human?"

"Therefore, Minister Shen Sima Jian wasted the power of the country by abolishing the government for private reasons, and wasting the power of the country by saving women. He is not worthy of virtue and is not worthy of being a leftist."

The struggle between the two has always been a drama that is often staged at the Great Xia Dynasty Meeting!

Cao Wei's voice just fell.

Everyone waited quietly for Sima Jian's counterattack!

However, Sima Jian frowned and smiled mysteriously, but he stopped talking!

Cao Wei, what a fool!

That's right!

His Sima Jian's daughter is in the barren state!

But who did you follow?

The king of barren state!

Who is the king of Huangzhou?

The emperor's ninth son!

Cao Wei said that if he didn't send soldiers to save his daughter, he was not worthy of being a man, not worthy of being a father!

What if the emperor didn't send troops to rescue the king of Huangzhou?

He certainly doesn't deserve to be a father!

Cao Wei seemed smart, so he attacked Sima Jian.

However, it is really stupid to put the emperor in the range of attack.

at this time.

Some important court officials also reacted, their eyes lit up, and they quietly looked at the face of His Majesty the Emperor.

This time, there is a good show to watch!

really.

Emperor Xia's face suddenly became gloomy, and he spoke without warmth: "Cao Aiqing, if you say it like this, then my emperor's son Xia Tian is also in the barren state. If I don't send troops to rescue me, am I not worthy of being a human being? Are you unfit to be a father?"

Cold sweat broke out uncontrollably from Cao Wei's forehead!

"Pfft..."

Cao Wei's legs softened, and he bowed to the ground in fear: "Your Majesty, I absolutely did not mean to insinuate His Majesty!"

"I dare to swear to the sky, but I just feel that Prime Minister Zuo sent troops to save the barren state for selfish reasons!"

next to.

The veins in the corners of the prince's eyes are throbbing!

The teacher was not so confused when he spoke before?

Is this the daughter-in-law sleeping too much recently?

With dark eyes, he waved his hand behind his back, and the Qingliu minister of the princeling party immediately understood.

Now, muddy the waters!

Otherwise, Prime Minister You will be in trouble!

Immediately.

A Qingliu minister of the princeling party came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I seconded Prime Minister Zuo's proposition that we should send troops to rescue the barren state and resist the attack of the Sirius."

"Thus, my minister joined the Minister of War, Li Jian, who is in charge of the world's army, but turned a blind eye to the invasion of the barren state by the Sirians, and turned a blind eye to the suffering of the people of the barren state. He is not worthy of being the minister of the Ministry of War!"

At this time, a group of Qingliu ministers from the princeling party came out: "I also joined Li Jian, Minister of the Ministry of War, and seconded what Lord Wang said!"

"Hehehe..."

Li Jian turned around and sneered again and again: "Do you know how to fight?"

"Do you know anything about soldiers?"

"You dare to criticize this Shangshu?"

In terms of bickering, Li Jian has never been afraid, and in terms of temperament, he has never lost.

Lord Wang was also like a rooster, and said tit for tat: "Li Shangshu, before you returned to the imperial capital to recuperate, you have been fighting in the north. How much do you know about the military affairs in the barren state?"

Speaking of it.

Mr. Wang stroked his beard and said, "Although this old man is not a famous general like Li Shangshu, he is well-informed and knows some military affairs in the barren state."

"I want to discuss the barren state's military affairs with Lord Shangshu in front of the palace!"

Li Jian's eyes brightened, and he asked excitedly, "Do you really know about the military affairs in the barren state?"

Lord Wang raised his head, his neck was a bit long, like a stubborn goose: "Of course!"

"Does Li Shangshu dare to discuss with me in front of His Majesty?"

Li Jian's face was happy, and he raised his hand to stop: "No need!"

"I lost!"

"My Lord Wang is familiar with the military affairs in the barren state!"

Master Wang raised his head much higher!

Minister Qingliu, what you fight is just not to accept!

No!

You have to pretend too!

At this time.

I saw Li Jian turning around with a smile and saluting: "Your Majesty, Your Excellency Wang is right. I have spent most of my life leading troops to fight in the north. In other places, I have only had a few small victories against the army of the Heavenly Wolf Empire. Yes. Not much is known about the military affairs in the barren state!"

"Therefore, I would like to resign from the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of War!"

"At the same time, because Mr. Wang is familiar with the military affairs in the barren state, I recommend Mr. Wang to be the minister of the Ministry of War!"

Immediately.

In Tianxia Palace, it became quiet again!

Master Wang's face collapsed!

Li Jian, an old man, simply does not follow common sense, and is not a son of man!

He is determined not to be Minister of the Ministry of War!

After what he said, he directly demoted himself, borrowing the slope to get off the donkey, and wanted to throw the fire pit of Minister of the Ministry of War to him.

This, absolutely not!

Master Wang's face was ashen, and he was furious: "I don't mean that!"

"No!"

Li Jian raised his head high, and vented his nostrils at Mr. Wang: "That's what you mean!"

"Your Majesty, I really think that Lord Wang is qualified to be Minister of the Ministry of War!"

"I highly recommend it!"

"Pfft..."

Lord Wang cried out loudly: "Your Majesty, I really didn't mean that!"

The prince was stunned!

Is this done by your own people?

This Lord Wang...is really overwhelmed!

Fighting heart and bickering with Li Jian, all defeated!

next to.

The historian's eyes lit up, watching the bustle, writing like a spirit.

Emperor Xia glanced at the official historian, and the veins on his forehead twitched.

If future generations see this period of history, how will they evaluate me?

Emperor Xia's face became colder and colder.

As if about to go into a rage!

at this time.

The imperial envoy who had not moved all the time came out: "Your Majesty, I also think that Li Jian, Minister of the Ministry of War, is afraid of the Sirius and dare not send troops to fight. He is really a coward of our Great Xia Dynasty. The Great Xia Dynasty is a disgrace!"

"He is not worthy of being Minister of the Ministry of War, he is not worthy of being my son of the Great Xia, and he is not worthy of being called a famous general of the Great Xia!"

"Correct!"

All the censors in red, like a group of boiled crabs walking sideways, came out at the same time: "The ministers second!"

"Shangshu Li Jian of the Ministry of War, the corpse is a vegetarian meal, you should be punished!"

The censors in red participated even more ruthlessly!

Not only does Li Jian need to be removed from his position as Minister of the Ministry of War, but he also needs to be questioned and put on the line, which sounds much more ruthless than Master Wang!

but.

The censor is not ruthless, so he can't stand firmly in the court!

However, being so cruel to Li Jian was beyond everyone's expectations.

Shocked everyone!

Because all the ministers knew that Li Jian was the spiritual leader of the censors, and secretly, they listened to him very much.

This is wrong!

"what......"

Emperor Xia's attention was successfully diverted.

He scanned the censors curiously!

interesting!

It seems that Li Jian really doesn't want to be the Minister of the Ministry of War anymore!

He actually let his disciples and grandchildren stand up and defile themselves!

This, absolutely not!

It is taboo for military strategists to change commanders before the enemy.

Emperor Xia roared angrily, "Okay!"

"Let you go to the court to discuss the werewolf invasion of the barren state. You are good, and you are in a mess, how decent it is!"

"Since Prime Minister Zuo felt that we should send troops to save the barren state, Prime Minister You also said... If I don't send troops to save the barren state, I am not worthy of being a father. Then I decided to send troops to save the barren state to resist the invasion of the Sirians."

"In the past 20 years, we haven't won a single victory in the barren state. Let the Sirians think that I, Daxia, are weak and deceitful. I've had enough of this tone!"

"This time, if my son is killed by the werewolves in the barren state, all the countries in the mainland will think that I am weak and can be bullied."

"In the future, no one will dare to point their troops at Daxia!"

Deep in Emperor Xia's eyes, there was some kind of selfishness hidden: "So, this time, we must send troops to resist the enemy!"

"Yes!"

All the ministers responded quickly and retreated to their positions.

Immediately.

Order has been restored in the hall!

Emperor Xia returned to the dragon chair and said in a deep voice, "Shangshu Li Jian of the Ministry of War!"

Li Jian stepped forward: "The minister is here."

"I am determined to send [-] troops to help the barren state, [-] elites from each of the Kyushu prefectures in the Great Xia, and [-] elites from the imperial camp to join forces in Qingzhou to fight in the barren state!"

"Yes!"

Emperor Xia asked again: "Who will dare to be the commander in this battle?"

Immediately.

Tianxia Hall became quiet again!

For so many years, Great Xia's use of troops against the barren state has always resulted in disastrous defeats, and even the entire army was wiped out.

Those generals who lead the army, who did not die on the battlefield, will die under the military law when they return.

For a long time, the generals who led the army to fight in the wilderness have died ten times and never lived!

No one wants to go on such a life-threatening errand!

and so.

A group of generals looked at their noses, noses and hearts, and their eyes looked at their toes, as if there were flowers with countless petals on the ground.

The attitudes of the generals were directly in front of Emperor Xia.

This was also expected by Emperor Xia.

Who wants to die!

"Hey......"

Emperor Xia sighed faintly: "Prince, why don't you command an expedition!"

"boom......"

The prince's soul sea exploded, his legs went limp from the shock, and he knelt down on the ground, wanting to cry without tears: "Father, the child doesn't understand military affairs!"

It's really a man standing in front of the king, and the disaster comes from the sky!

That damned stinky old nine is indeed a disaster!

Because he was in the barren state, the father had no choice but to send troops to save him!

But why order his generals?

Could it be that that stinky old nine is going to drag him to death?

Emperor Xia stared at the prince seriously and said: "It's because you don't understand military affairs, so take this opportunity to go to the barren state to practice, and in the future, you will understand military affairs!"

The prince bowed to the ground: "Father, my child's body is weak and not suitable for expeditions!"

Emperor Xia looked at the dark circles under the prince's eyes, and then thought about the two incidents of him urinating in front of the palace, and couldn't help but sighed: "Hey, with your body, don't let my white-haired man give away my black-haired man!"

A man in his 30s is always scared to urinate. This is a terminal illness!

This is the reason why the prince cannot give birth to the emperor's grandson!

He has already asked the imperial doctor, this disease cannot be cured!

It is difficult for a prince who can't give birth to a son to rise to the throne.

Emperor Xia knew it well!

So, why not send the prince to the front line for some experience, after the tempering of blood and fire, maybe the mind will become stronger?

Emperor Xia was eager to try.

but.

The prince burst into tears: "Father, my son..."

Before he could finish speaking, he fainted on the spot.

Emperor Xia: "..."

It's really rotten wood that can't be carved!

At this time.

Some important ministers of the princelings frowned.

Prince, have no guts!

It's really not like a gentleman!

Moreover, what did His Majesty the Emperor say just now?

Don't let him send a white-haired person to a black-haired person?

It seems that the prince's thigh can't be hugged anymore!

As a result, some important ministers of the princeling party had other thoughts!

Emperor Xia shook his head in disappointment: "Come here, take the prince down and let the imperial doctor take a look!"

"Yes!"

"Without my will, let the prince continue to recuperate in the East Palace!"

"Yes!"

Eunuch Wei waved his hand, and the two young eunuchs stepped forward to help the prince away.

then.

The prince who pretended to be sick was grounded again!

now.

The prince's heart was congested, and his throat was so sweet that he almost spit it out!

He finally went to court again, and was about to regain his glory and become a good prince and heir apparent praised by everyone!

Never thought.

As soon as he went to court, he encountered the matter of the barren state!

His father was disappointed in him again!

The minister was disappointed in him again!

He was grounded again!

What the hell is going on?

All of this is due to that damned stinky old nine!

Stinky Old Nine!

The prince was helped out of the court amidst unwillingness and resentment,

"Hey......"

Emperor Xia let out another sigh of hatred.

This sigh, like a sharp sword, pierced the princeling's heart.

Cao Wei had just escaped, his face turned pale, and he didn't dare to speak any more.

Xia Di's sharp gaze swept over the faces of all the generals one by one, none of them dared to look up.

He knew what the generals wanted.

then.

Emperor Xia pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at the outside of Tianxia Hall: "My dear friends, since you are not willing to go on an expedition to the barren state, then I will personally go there!"

"Pfft..."

All the court ministers knelt down and advised in unison: "Your Majesty, no!"

"Your Majesty, you cannot conquest yourself!"

Sima Jian raised his head with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, your seat is on the dragon chair, no longer barren state!"

"Your Majesty, don't stand in danger!"

"Your Majesty must not drive himself to conquest!"

Emperor Xia put his sword back into its sheath angrily, and asked angrily, "Then who will go?"

"Didn't my Great Xia Dynasty not even have a single general who dared to conquer the barren state?"

"Is there not even a bloody person who dares to fight the Sirius?"

"I, what use do you need?"

All the ministers bowed to the ground: "I will die!"

But, having said that, there are still no generals who stand up to lead the army.

Emperor Xia became even more angry: "Million death! Ten thousand death! What else can you say besides ten thousand death?"

"Now, what I want is not ten thousand deaths, but someone to lead the army to fight!"

"What's the use of you dying ten thousand times?"

The generals are still silent!

Emperor Xia was so angry that he wanted to draw his sword and hack to death these guys who usually listened to flattery and said a lot of flattery, but acted like a turtle at critical moments.

Was the general of his Great Xia Dynasty so greedy for life and afraid of death?

How sad!

suddenly.

Li Jian raised his head, looked left and right, and finally said: "Your Majesty, my minister Li Jian is willing to share your worries, lead the troops to the barren state, repel the Sirius, protect the king of the barren state, and protect the peace of the barren state!"

Xia Di's heart that sank into the abyss was pulled back to the world, and he said emotionally: "It's still Li Aiqing who can share your worries!"

"You all get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the ministers got up and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads!

Someone finally took over this fatal job!

Emperor Xia was also in a good mood: "Li Aiqing, although you are going to be in command to go to the barren state, but you will not relinquish your post as Minister of the Ministry of War. I will give you the right to make decisions on the fly. Wherever you go, the office of the Ministry of War will be there!"

"In this way, you can control the soldiers and logistics with one hand, and no one can hold you back!"

Li Jian was neither happy nor surprised: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"What else do you want, just ask!"

Only then did Li Jian speak confidently: "I want to send the elite of the northern frontier army to go out with me!"

Emperor Xia nodded: "The Northern Frontier Army was trained by you, and you will be more comfortable with it!"

"That's it!"

"You can choose [-] elite soldiers from the northern frontier army, and go out with you!"

The elite of the northern frontier army, known as the "Li Family Army", was built by Li Jian himself, and his disciples are everywhere in the army.

At first.

Emperor Xia was afraid of his self-respect in supporting the army, so he was transferred back to the imperial capital to recuperate from his injuries, and dispersed the northern frontier army to reorganize.

If it weren't for Li Jian's expedition to the barren state for Emperor Xia this time, Emperor Xia would never allow him to use the northern frontier army.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will not allow it!

But, now, no one objected!

Li Jian's expression was as usual: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

At this time.

Emperor Xia untied the sword at his waist, and walked up to Li Jian: "This is my sword, and it is your military talisman for going out to the barren state. Go, protect the barren state, kill the Sirius, and win a few battles for all countries in the world." Look, my Great Xia is still strong and unstoppable!"

Li Jian took the sword respectfully: "Yes!"

Emperor Xia thought for a while, and whispered: "Li Aiqing, the king of Huangzhou is my prince, even if there is a festival between you, but I want him to live well, do you understand my thoughts?"

Li Jian took the order: "Yes!"

"Go ahead!"

"Yes!"

Holding the sword in his hand, Li Jian turned around and left the hall, ready to go to battle.

All of today's events are in his plan.

The Sirians are menacing and their soldiers are fierce.

The king of the barren state is in the barren state, it is very dangerous!

He, Li Jian, is going to protect his king!

He wants to take the army with him justifiably!

Now, he did it!

Li Jian walked out of Tianxia Hall, and murmured towards the west: "My lord, hold on, I will come as fast as I can!"

"You, you must hold on!"

"Otherwise, my daughter will be sad..."
