The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

"Ugh!"

Pang Mingtong couldn't help but sigh and glanced at the throne behind Liu Xie. He had been prime minister for so many years, so how could he not see what Crown Prince Liu Xie was thinking.

It's just that he has been favored by the emperor for generations, and it is a good thing for the crown prince to be regent. As the prime minister, he should do his best to assist him. However, since Liu Xie became the crown prince regent, his character has changed. He has become stubborn and self-willed, and he won't listen to advice. He only likes people who obey him.

As the prime minister for so many years, he has a clear sense of the national fortune of the entire Western Shu Dynasty. In the past two years, the national fortune has begun to decline.

Now, giving Liuhua Mountain to Maitreya Buddhism is not equivalent to handing over the destiny of the entire dynasty to Maitreya Buddhism?

There are already many dynasties on the Kyushu continent. On the surface, the royal family is in charge, but in fact, the operations behind the scenes are all centered around the development of the sects.

If the Western Shu Dynasty continues like this, it will most likely become a vassal dynasty of Maitreya Buddhism in the future. What will be the meaning of the dynasty's existence then?

When the civil and military officials heard Pang Mingtong's sigh, many of them also had helplessness in their eyes.

Liu Xie naturally heard it as well.

There was an imperceptible murderous intent emanating from the depths of his eyes.

"Pang Mingtong, ah Pang Mingtong, you are sighing. Do you really think that I, your Highness, dare not kill you?" Liu Xie couldn't help but say in his heart.

However, he did not care much about it, and immediately said, "I will go to Maitreya Buddhist Sect in person to invite the chief elder of the Luohan Hall of Maitreya Buddhist Sect, the monk Yuan Hong, as well as the two elders of the Luohan Hall, the monks Yuan Fu and Yuan Tai, and bring 30 warrior monks from Maitreya Buddhist Sect to the front line to support General Zhuang Yan."

Many civil and military officials looked sideways. If Liu Xie hadn't mentioned it, they seemed to have forgotten that on the left side of the court stood three eminent monks in cassocks.

I couldn't help but be shocked in my heart. No wonder Liu Xie went against all odds and wanted to give Liuhua Mountain to Maitreya Buddhism.

With these three powerful monks from the Maitreya Buddhist sect, it is inevitable to capture Pingxi County.

"The abbot of Maitreya Buddhism is so supportive of the Western Shu Dynasty's expansion of territory, the Western Shu Dynasty cannot resist his good intentions."

"Mr. Fei, the Minister of Rites, obey your orders. From now on, the Maitreya Buddhist sect is allowed to build ten temples in the Western Shu Dynasty to offer incense."

Before the civil and military officials could react, Liu Xie spoke next.

Hua Hua Hua...

Ten temples?

It can be said that one stone can cause a thousand ripples.

All the civil and military officials in the court began to whisper to each other.

The Western Shu Dynasty had a total of nineteen counties, and now it allows Maitreya Buddhism to build ten temples. What kind of talk is this?

Many people were thinking in their hearts: "Isn't this price too high?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best to assist the Maitreya Buddhist sect in building the temple."

The Minister of Rites Fei Wei doesn't care about that.

He now realized that Liu Xie was determined to fight a war, to gain merit, and to quickly ascend the throne to become emperor.

As the Minister of Rites, he might as well go with the flow. If Liu Xie could really successfully ascend the throne, given the current situations of Liu Xie and Pang Mingtong, the position of Prime Minister would belong to him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Fei. Once I take over Pingxi County and seize the territories of several counties of the Great Song Dynasty, Master Fei will have also done a great deed."

Liu Xie was very satisfied with Fei Wei's performance and nodded directly.

The implication was also to tell all the civil and military officials in the court.

Once he takes over several counties of the Song Dynasty, he will be able to ascend the throne and become emperor. At that time, he will inevitably carry out a reckoning, which will also be a warning to everyone.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is wise!"

Fei Wei bowed obsequiously.

"Sir Shang, our Western Shu Dynasty is able to have the help of the strong men of Maitreya Buddhism. This prince wants to take over Pingxi County in one fell swoop."

"I wonder where you think we should draw the troops from and send another 100,000 troops to help Zhuang Yan?" Liu Xie then looked at the Minister of War Shang Wei.

Shang Wei smiled slightly when he heard this.

He seemed confident and said directly: "Your Highness, we might as well send General Jin Kai, the Tiger Guard, to lead 100,000 Lingnan troops to assist General Zhuang."

"Lingnan Army? The elite troops guarding Tulao Pass. If they are withdrawn, if the enemy breaks through Tulao Pass, they will be outside Yunzhou City. That is the barrier of Yunzhou City. I think this is absolutely not allowed." Upon hearing this, Pang Mingtong hurriedly spoke out to stop it.

"Are you being overly pessimistic, Prime Minister? Who do you think can bypass the defense line of the Western Shu Dynasty and reach Tulao Pass?" Shang Wei was originally a proponent of war. As the Minister of War, he also hoped that Liu Xie could capture Pingxi County and the territory of the Wei Dynasty and achieve some great achievements.

"Sir Shang, I'll do as you say. Pass on my order to dispatch the 100,000 Lingnan troops from Tulao Pass, with Jin Kai as the commander-in-chief. Lead the army to support General Zhuang. You must capture Pingxi County for me within seven days." Liu Xie ignored Pang Mingtong's objection and directly conveyed the order.

"Your Majesty, take your orders!"

Shang Wei bowed.

……

In the court of Dading City of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Sima Zhao was wearing a golden dragon robe and sitting on the dragon throne.

His face looked ugly.

First, news came that Sima Zhuang had been defeated in the battle. The people he sent out to investigate had not returned yet. Now, news came that the Wei Dynasty had suffered a disastrous defeat.

You have to know that he was willing to send troops to attack Tianyun City in the beginning in response to Lin Xiaoxiang's plan, but he did not expect that the Wei Dynasty's army of more than 600,000 would be defeated like this.

"My dear ministers, I believe you have all received the news."

"The ruler of the Song Dynasty defeated the Wei Dynasty's army of more than 600,000 with a small force."

“I wonder what everyone thinks, how should we deal with it next?”

Sima Zhao did not expect that the Song Dynasty, which had always been weak, could be so at ease when facing the siege of the three dynasties, and now it has even defeated the Wei Dynasty.

Seeing that other officials did not respond, Prime Minister Sima Guang took a few steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the Song Dynasty must have a hidden trick up its sleeve, or that there are powerful people supporting the Song Dynasty. Otherwise, given the situation of the Song Dynasty over the years, it would not have been possible to hold out for such a long time."

Sima Zhao frowned slightly when he heard this.

Sima Yan, the assassin he secretly sent out, was killed.

The Song Dynasty was fighting on three fronts, where did so many great masters come from?

If the Song Dynasty had so many great masters and powerful people, how could it have become increasingly decadent over the years?

"I wonder if the Prime Minister has any good suggestions?"

Sima Zhao asked Sima Guanggang.

"I think if we want to take Tianyun City, we should either send more strong men to take it back as quickly as possible. If we fail to capture Tianyun City, it will be disadvantageous to our Great Jin Dynasty."

Sima Guanggang’s meaning was very clear, that is, if they wanted to continue the attack, they should do it in one go.

If you hesitate, you will only get deeper and deeper into trouble.

"Why do you think the Song Dynasty has suddenly become so difficult to deal with? Who exactly is that state guardian Ye Feng?"

Sima Zhao frowned.

A series of changes in the Song Dynasty seemed to be inseparable from the three words "King of the Country".
