Lanyan City, the political and economic center of the empire, during the war years, this rich city provided countless food, armor, weapons, and disease sources for the front line. Now, the war situation has finally calmed down for a while. The people in Lanyan City The road welcomed the emperor's triumphant victory, and when they saw Qin Yin wearing the female emperor's robe, they were so excited that they couldn't speak. √∟,
Finally, the era of the Three Kings is over, and the chaos of the world should also end with it.
"Is the war over?"
Lin Muyu smiled bitterly, I am afraid that it is still far from it. The force of the Celestial Continent is still several times that of the Broken Ding Realm. The defeat of the Tianji Empire Expeditionary Force may lead to a new pattern change in the Celestial Continent. No one knows what will happen in the future. However, I can only be cautious and careful step by step.
Qin Yin has changed the angel costume to the military uniform of the imperial female general. She wore a dark blue robe with golden purple flowers embroidered on it. This was the standard attire of a female emperor in the war era, but she kept her eyes closed and followed Lin Muyu all the way. Walked to Zetian Temple.
Behind the female emperor, the number of Yulinwei who fought on a long distance has been reduced from more than 100 to at least less than 30. It is very bleak. Anyway, the generals of the empire are still intact, at least Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, Qin Yan, Wei Qiu, Xu Jiantao, Zeng Yifan and others are still alive. These talents are the cornerstone of the empire. Qin Yin knows very well that if there are no soldiers, he can recruit again. If there are no famous generals, then I don’t know when they will be there. The new celebrity came to the fore.
…
The Zetian Temple had been cleaned in advance to make the windows clear and majestic. Everyone walked slowly and entered the hall without taking a break. There were still many things to deal with after the war. This afternoon was destined to be very busy.
"Courtes, wait, and welcome the female emperor to return to the court!"
Everyone knelt down, and even the three kings Lin Muyu, Qin Yan, and Feng Jixing also knelt in front of the officials. They were noble lord, but they were still ministers in front of Qin Yin.
"Everyone, please be flat."
Qin Yin stood up, walked step by step to the edge of the emperor's steps, and pointed at everyone Yingying, saying: "I have not been in the empire for many years. Everyone has worked hard all these years. It is because of everyone's blood that the Qin family can still survive. Standing on this continent, I, Qin Yin, on behalf of the Qin family kings, thank you all!"
Everyone said in unison: "Serve the empire, even if you die without regrets!"
Qin Yin faintly faced Lin Muyu's direction and said, "Your Highness Yu."
Lin Muyu was startled: "Xiaoyin?"
Qin Yin nodded, and slowly knelt down in front of Lin Muyu, with a faint smile on the corners of her mouth, and said: "Originally, Brother Ayu, you are a genius, you can live a life that does not care about the world, but because The fetters of Xiaoyin have made Ayu brother, you have suffered so much for so many years, I know it is all my fault... Meeting me, you have worked so hard..."
She was very moved, the eyelashes under her eyes trembled slightly, and she bowed deeply to the ground.
Lin Muyu hurried forward, supporting her arms, and whispered: "Xiaoyin, you are crazy, you are the empress, where is there any reason to kneel down and worship a courtier? Get up!"
Qin Yin pursed her red lips: "I am not only the empress, but also your sister. We are not kings and ministers."
"Anyway, you can't kneel on me, get up quickly."
"Ok."
When Qin Yin stood up, Lin Muyu knelt down comfortably and glared at Shangguan Jingyue. She, the chief female officer, was too negligent, but Shangguan Jingyue also looked helpless and obviously had no cultivation. How could she stop what Qin Yin wanted to do.
…
Above the hall, there were many officials. At least two hundred civilians and generals followed Qin Yin back to Zetian Hall. Together with the original high-ranking officials in Lanyan City, there were at least three hundred people in the hall.
Feng Jixing touched his nose, feeling that Qin Yin and Lin Muyu gave a look, and whispered: "Ayu, I feel you are going to be promoted!"
"Why?" Lin Muyu was stunned.
Feng Jixing said: "His Royal Highness Yin treats you as an elder brother and a lover. You are the first contributor. Whoever gets promoted if you don't get promoted."
"Promote to an x son." Lin Muyu couldn't help but swear, and said: "We are all kings now, under the emperor is the king, the three of us are under one person and above ten thousand people. If you get promoted, you’ll break the ground. I think it’s a blessing not to be demoted."
"Oh, why?" Feng Jixing was puzzled.
Lin Muyu whispered: "Look at the many ministers behind us. Many of them are princes and kings from all over the world. Their troops will soon come to Lanyan City, named'King Qin', which is actually taking advantage of the empire. Let’s wait and see if you have the opportunity to be a waste of time, Xiaoyin is back, and we three kings will definitely not last long."
Feng Jixing frowned: "You are right. I should have thought of this section a long time ago. They will definitely restrain the power of our three kings, but... as long as our military power is in our hands, then everything will be fine."
"The key is that the military power is not in your hand!"
Lin Muyu said: "Look, my gentian camp and your forbidden army together are less than 30,000 people. It is pitifully small. These honest vassals behind us, just find one who may have more strength than us. Actually The current situation is that our army has been exhausted in battle, but the strength of this group of people has remained very intact."
Feng Jixing clenched a fist: "It's okay, don't worry, we are gods, and you are the gods with the supreme personality. They are really difficult to make things difficult for us. If a prince comes and kills one, what's the big deal."
"Then I am afraid that the world will really be in chaos." Lin Muyu glared at him: "Big Brother Feng, you are too straightforward. Try to discuss everything with me before making a decision."
"Ayu, your kid is becoming more and more cautious in doing things. No wonder the first emperor will accept you as a son."
Qin Yan on the side coughed: "Hey, your Highnesses, King Qin and King Xin, it's time for the court meeting, you two speak quietly, cousin and everyone are watching you!"
"Ahem..."
Sure enough, Zeng Yifan, Su Yu, Tang Xiaoxi and others, as well as a group of princes, were all staring at Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing, the two greatest heroes of the empire's revival. They all seemed to have seen a ghost, and logically made such immortal exploits. It should be prudent, but these two are also too cautious.
Qin Yin smiled slightly and said, "So, shall the court discussion begin? Play one by one."
"Yes!"
Soon after, Zeng Yifan took a step forward with the Yuhuo in his hand and said, "Your Highness, the old minister has played."
"Fan, please speak."
Zeng Yifan said: "The imperial army has been declining in the wars over the years, and its troop strength has been reduced from hundreds of thousands at the beginning to only 100,000. The old officials believed that the recruits recruited by the princes in various places were numerous and difficult to train. The veteran believes that soldiers should be drawn from the armies of the princes in various places and supplemented to the major regular legions of the empire, and the original organizational structure of the legions should be restored as soon as possible."
Qin Yin nodded and agreed, "Well, this matter is indeed a top priority, so... what do the princes think?"
Among the crowd, a powerful middle-aged general clasped his fists and said: "His Royal Highness, there is something wrong with this matter. When I was recruiting soldiers, it was because of the imminent national crisis, so the people were willing to put down farming and go to King Qin, but now the enemy It has been destroyed, so the subordinates feel that these soldiers should be returned to farming, otherwise, the empire will no longer have any rations available."
The person who spoke was called Zhuang Yan, the prefect of Sunset City, with more than 50,000 troops in his hand, and one of the strongest princes.
Zeng Yifan couldn't help laughing: "Master Zhuang Yan, if the princes are all leaving with the army, who will protect the Imperial Capital Lanyan City? Moreover, the emperor urgently needs to replenish his troops, and all the lords belong to His Royal Highness. Courtier, shouldn't you serve the country?"
Another old general smiled, stroking his gray beard and said: "Fan Gong is biased and loyal to the country is certainly the responsibility of the minister, but the superior must be worthy of the king, and the lower must be worthy of the common people. We cannot do it for ourselves. I don’t care about the life and death of the people, isn’t it?"
"Master Su Changying is really good at talking." Zeng Fang said angrily.
Su Changying is the largest prince along the way in the Yunzhong province, with more than 45,000 troops. Some people say that he is the illegitimate son of Muyun Gong Su Muyun, but no one knows if it is true. But now it has become a climate. .
Lin Muyu was a little angry, turned around to look at a group of princes, and said, "For military strength, whether to give it or not, just one sentence, there are not so many twists and turns, let's say, are you willing to contribute your military strength to the emperor?"
He had already used the domain of the Elephant Invisible Jue invisibly, and all the princes seemed to be in the ice cave for a while, almost out of breath.
"Yes, naturally there is nothing to do." Su Changying said.
Zhuang Yan said: "But all states and counties do need troops to garrison, and more than half of the soldiers are going back to continue farming. Therefore, the subordinates decided to draw 10% of the troops from each vassal army to supplement the Imperial Ministry of War. It's reasonable."
"10%?"
Qin Yin's eyebrows frowned lightly: "What is ten percent? Twenty percent, no one can violate the order, or else engage in military law."
"Yes!"
A group of princes knelt down one after another, their faces utterly defiant.
Qin Yin continued: "Within seven days, all soldiers must be delivered to the Ministry of War for reporting. The Ministry of officials will give rewards based on the strength of the troops handed over by the princes. Seven days later, a reward ceremony will be held."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Qunchen Shanhu.
Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, and Tang Xiaoxi kept their faces cold. Obviously, the situation seems to be no longer in the hands of Zetian Temple. The princes of all walks of life have their own thoughts, and the hearts of the people have been chaotic.
…
In the middle of the night, there was a burst of sparks outside Lanyan City, and princes and horses from all walks of life came one after another. In the night, a group of noble generals wearing brocades entered a large tent in the chaotic camp, and it was in the Zetian Temple during the day. Some of the princes with strong military strength, Zhuang Yan, Su Changying, Liu Xiyu and others are among them. u
