Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 79
"The defeat in the Western Territory is the shame of the empire and must be severely punished. The Fifth Panshi was fined for half a year, and he introspected himself in Shendu. He was resigned from the post of head of the Fifth Scorching Sun Division and transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of War." Emperor Qian made the final decision.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Fifth Panshi bowed respectfully, speaking for the first time in the court, still full of spirit.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Dugu Zhen, He Shoujiang and other ministers saluted together.

Wei Wang Gantai's expression was a little strange, joyful, and a little bit unsatisfactory.

The Fifth Sun is the son of the Fifth Rock and the most outstanding figure in the second generation of the Fifth Family. He serves as the commander of the First Division of the First Legion and is the most popular candidate to lead the First Legion.

Now, Emperor Qian not only asked Fifth Panshi to reflect on Shendu for half a year, but also transferred Fifth Scorching Sun, but at this time the First Legion was recruiting again, which gave Wei Wang Qiantai room to maneuver.

As long as it is properly arranged, although it cannot completely control the First Army, at least it can get a foot in.

Emperor Qian did not fully understand the intentions of the third prince Qian Tai, but also gave him a little sweetness. His attitude was still ambiguous and unpredictable.

Fortunately, it finally opened a small hole.

The other princes surrounded them like sharks that smelled blood, and the fifth prince was the first to beg for food, Gan Ke, King of Chu, "Qi Zou, father, the Fourth Army is defending against the invasion of Qingqiu in the southwest this time. , But it also exposed the weakness of insufficient troops. The two countries of Quicksand and Izumo in the south are about to move, and I have the courage to ask for the expansion of the Fourth Army to deal with the increasingly dangerous situation in the south."

"In your opinion, how much expansion is appropriate?" Emperor Qian remained calm.

King Ganke of Chu seemed to be greatly encouraged, and replied: "My minister thinks that in order to defend the peace of the southern border, at least the Fourth Army should reach full strength and expand two divisions."

Emperor Qian was noncommittal, "What do you think?"

"Qi Zou Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate." He Shoujiang, Minister of the Ministry of War, took the vanguard again, "Since the Fourth Army has won, it proves that there is no need to expand the army."

"Wei Chen also thinks it's inappropriate."

Official Minister Yan Shanhe stepped forward, "Speaking of army expansion, the Second Army Corps guarding the northern border should also expand the army to deal with the threats from the Zhulong Kingdom, Beidi Kingdom, and Black Tooth Kingdom at the same time."

Prime Minister Dugu Zhen raised another question: "Expanding two divisions at once may not be able to support it financially, so we should do it slowly."

Xiao Jinzheng (rui), Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, immediately said: "The military expenses of the two divisions are still enough to squeeze in."

"Then why did the Ministry of Household Affairs refuse to pay for the last time they rebuilt the pass?" Dugu Zhen turned around and led an army.

The ministers quarreled together, all in the name of "defending the family and the country", but behind the scenes they were all fighting for the interests of the princes behind them, it was a mess.

Standing behind Yan Shanhe, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is the Eighth Prince Yan Wang Ganyou, who is quite influential in the northern border; behind Xiao Jinzheng, Minister of the Household Department, is naturally the Fifth Prince Ganke, King of Chu, who is most active in the southern border.

But the Ninth Prince, Qi Wang Qianshen has not exerted his strength.

This debate around military expansion involved more and more ministers, and a small number of them expressed their positions either explicitly or implicitly.

It seems accidental, but in fact it is inevitable.

This made those ministers who hadn't been involved in it startled while secretly thinking, should they continue to protect themselves wisely, or start placing bets?
The empire has blown.

Emperor Qian looked at the farce in the hall, and there was a trace of sadness in his cloudy eyes. His relatives were in power, the prince interfered in politics, the aristocratic family was in power, and the succession was chaotic. His control over the empire was declining day by day.

When conflicts erupt, who will be able to turn the tide and clean up the mess?

Where will the fate of the empire go?
Increasing injuries are eroding Qiandi's vitality every day and night, corroding his soul and devouring his energy. How long can he sustain such a broken body?

Even if Emperor Qian forcibly appoints a prince now, the Zhuozhi Group has already formed, and the other princes will definitely not accept it. When he dies, the empire will inevitably fall into division and chaos.

It's too late!

"I have already heard the opinions of all the gentlemen. Then the second, third, and fourth legions should each increase the establishment of a division to protect the safety of the empire." Emperor Qian's voice was still loud, and there was no trace of fatigue.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Ministers are like children who have been given candy, and they get what they want.

On the contrary, Chu Wang Ganke felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly. He never thought that his aggressive proposal would be exchanged for his father's "equity of interests", which made his calculations come to nothing.

In contrast, the indisputability of the Ninth Prince is even more wise.

In this farce, not only Emperor Qian was on the sidelines, but also Sun Yun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

What angered Zhang Sun Yun the most was that the summary of the Spring Campaign was about to come to an end, but no one had mentioned Yize County's contribution and meritorious service in the Qingqiu Battlefield, as if it was an insignificant matter, not enough at all To bring Ge to the court for discussion, all you need is a document issued by the Ministry of War.

The fifth prince, Gan Ke, even shamelessly attributed the victory in the southwest battlefield to the Fourth Army, but none of the other ministers stood up to point out the mistakes.

This is a conspiracy!

The ministers seem to have formed a tacit agreement, that is, to pretend to be deaf and dumb to Yize County's military exploits.

Originally, Changsun Yun had really planned to stay dormant here, but Qian Yuan's outstanding performance rekindled his fighting spirit and brought a glimmer of hope.

Maybe, we can still fight?
No matter what, Changsun Yun is no longer going to be silent this time.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Changsun Yun's voice was not loud, even a little uneasy, but it was like a stone thrown into a pond, causing circles of ripples, and instantly became the focus of the audience.

That's right, Changsun Yun, together with the once-prominent Changsun family, has indeed declined, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and the gods are all powerful, and no one can truly ignore the existence of the Changsun family.

The legacy of Empress Changsun alone can protect this family for hundreds of years.

Not to mention that at this wonderful juncture, Changsun Yun suddenly stood up. Everyone knew clearly what was going on, and the cover they tried their best to cover was about to be lifted.

A more sensitive figure was involved under the cover, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

"allow!"

Emperor Qian's voice was without any ripples.

Changsun Yundao: "Your Majesty Qizuo, Yize County killed six thousand monster soldiers, seven monster generals and tiger demon generals from Qingqiu Kingdom's tiger demon army with the power of one county. Such a military exploit deserves a reward."

Although Changsun Yun's words were very restrained, neither exaggerating Yize County's military achievements, nor deliberately mentioning the embarrassment of the Fourth Army, it still made many people feel embarrassed.

The reason why the lid is a lid is that it is not easy to see the light. Once it is lifted, it will embarrass many people. Some people have hot faces, some have dark eyes, and some scold their mothers in their hearts.

But no matter what you think in your heart, at least on the surface, no one has the confidence to refute.

Because it's a fact.

The scene just now was like a group of losers brazenly begging for sweets, while the real winners kept a low profile, which further highlighted the ugliness of the former.

This face hurts from the beating.

The fifth prince Ganke wanted to tear Changsun Yun's mouth open, his eyes were full of malice.

"It should be rewarded, Zhu Qing thinks, how should reward?"

Emperor Qian looked at the ministers in the hall with burning eyes. For some reason, he felt a sense of disgust in his heart. These are all worms in the empire.

Since His Majesty asked, he naturally had to answer.

Some proposed rewarding spirit stones and treasures, some proposed promotion to titles, and some proposed verbal rewards. The reason was that the king of Qingqiu County, as a royal family, had the responsibility of guarding the land.

Changsun Yun didn't say a word.

At this moment, the Ninth Prince Gan Shen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up, "I want to tell my father, I have a proposal, which can be the best of both worlds."

"What proposal?"

Emperor Qian's eyes were gloomy, thinking that the Ninth Prince was trying to play tricks.
