"I've met the Imperial Master."

Seeing Feng Huojun enter the hall, all the civil and military officials immediately bowed and saluted.

Even if it was eighteen years ago, when Feng Huojun was in charge of the Great Zhou, no one dared to say anything. What's more, now that she has entered the realm of Zhandao, no one dared to question her.

Feng Huojun put his hands behind his back and looked at Ye Lingtian: "Master Ye, do you want to sit down?"

Now all civil and military officials are gathered here, and the throne is right in front of them.

As long as Ye Lingtian replied that he wanted to sit, Feng Huojun would let Ye Lingtian sit on the seat. Eighteen years ago, she could let Ji Cheng take the seat, so now she could naturally let Ye Lingtian take the seat easily.

However, Feng Huojun understood that this matter was extremely easy for her, but Ye Lingtian would definitely not agree.

This man may seem like a scoundrel, but he is actually very stubborn and strong-willed. If he wants something, he will go get it himself, but he will not accept it if someone gives it to him.

Just as Fenghuojun expected.

Ye Lingtian saluted lazily and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Master Imperial Master. I am in excellent health now, so there is no need to grant me an extra seat. Now that so many old ministers are here, even if you want to grant seats, you have to give them to them."

Seeing that Ye Lingtian deliberately confused sitting down and being given a seat, Feng Huojun did not say much. She walked to the throne in front and sat on it naturally.

"..."

Ye Lingtian looked at Feng Huojun on the throne and felt a little emotional.

It is really very suitable for Feng Huojun to sit on this throne. Perhaps no one is more suitable than her to be the empress of the Great Zhou!

"No need to be so polite, everyone."

Feng Huojun waved his hand gently.

Only then did all the civil and military officials dare to stand up.

Feng Huojun looked at the civil and military officials and said calmly, "Do you have anything to say?"

"Your Excellency, the Imperial Master, Dong Chu has been making a lot of noise recently and is constantly sending troops to the border. This is a sign of war to come."

A general said solemnly.

Jicheng gathered the forces of the Great Zhou and launched a Northern Expedition, but unexpectedly, he was defeated tragically by Northern Yan, and only 600,000 of the million-strong army were left.

Now the Western dynasties are eyeing them covetously. With Lin Hailiu guarding the north and Gu Jinzhao guarding the south, there are not many problems in these two places.

However, the western and eastern parts are in a state of weak military strength and without any generals guarding them. If this continues, big problems will definitely arise.

Now Tubo is at war with Northern Qi and has not yet sent troops to Da Zhou. Once it sends troops, the situation of Da Zhou will be bad.

Dong Chu, on the other hand, was increasing its military strength, and it was obvious that it was planning to send troops.

After listening to this, Feng Huojun said calmly: "Pass the order to restore Baili Hongzhuang's position as the General of the Eastern Frontier. Let her lead an army of 200,000 and continue to guard the eastern part!"

"..."

When everyone heard this, they were not surprised.

Baili Hongzhuang was originally the General Zhendong. He had known Ji Cheng's idea before, so he voluntarily handed over his military power.

Now that Ji Cheng is dead and Dong Chu is eyeing them covetously, it is normal to let Baili Hongzhuang continue to serve as the General Zhendong.

However, there was a middle-aged man present whose pupils shrank and he subconsciously looked at Ye Lingtian. This man was the Minister of War, Baili Changjiang, the father of Baili Hongzhuang.

According to Baili Hongzhuang, she seemed to owe Ye Lingtian a favor.

Baili Hongzhuang handed over her military power. Favors are still priceless to ordinary people, but to someone like Ye Lingtian, they are not of much value.

Now that she has regained her military power, this value will increase.

Did Ye Lingtian have anticipated this day, and therefore made Baili Hongzhuang owe him a favor? Did he already know that Baili Hongzhuang could regain her military power?

Otherwise, there would be no need for him to let Baili Hongzhuang owe him this favor.

Thinking of this, Baili Changjiang felt extremely solemn.

"..."

Ye Lingtian also glanced at Baili Changjiang, with a meaningful look on his face. He knew what the other party was thinking, and the answer was what the other party expected.

He made Baili Hongzhuang owe him a favor, so he naturally guessed that there would be such a day. Either Feng Huojun would give Baili Hongzhuang the military power, or he would.

In short, the results will not change.

In a game of chess, there will naturally be different processes during the game, but how to keep the result unchanged is what the controller should consider.

Noticing Ye Lingtian's expression, Baili Changjiang's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that he guessed right.

Feng Huojun looked at Xiao Leihen and said, "As for the western land, the Purple-Robed Marquis will lead an army of 200,000 to guard it. If you lose the western land, I will hold you accountable."

Xiao Leihen's heart sank, and he quickly bowed and said, "Master Imperial Master, rest assured, I will definitely protect the western land. If anything goes wrong, I will bring my head to you."

Since Ji Cheng came to power, he has been in Tiandu for many years without holding real power. Now that Feng Huojun is willing to give him the military power, he is naturally very happy.

As a man, who doesn't have a dream of holding the power of the world when awake and lying on the lap of a beautiful woman when drunk?

"..."

The corners of Ye Lingtian's mouth rose slightly. Xiao Leihen was also an extremely important person. He had a special relationship with Northern Qi. Now that he had obtained military power, he would be of greater value in the future.

"grass......"

Xiao Leihen glanced at Ye Lingtian out of the corner of his eye and happened to see the curve of the other's mouth. He was extremely speechless.

What is this guy planning? He suddenly felt that gaining military power this time didn't seem to be a good thing.

"Everyone, is there anything else?"

Feng Huojun continued to look at everyone.

"..."

Everyone lowered their heads and said nothing.

The current Great Zhou does not have any major problems except that the Western dynasties are eyeing it covetously.

Generally speaking, when a war starts, there will definitely be a big problem with food. Jicheng had made sufficient preparations before, there was no shortage of food, and the people were also able to farm smoothly. There was no difficulty with food in the short term.

However, as time goes on, there will definitely be problems, and the economy will suffer a huge impact.

The most critical issue at the moment is the issue of manpower. So many people were lost in this Northern Expedition. Perhaps it is time to reorganize the troops and replenish the manpower.

However, most people dare not raise this issue at this critical juncture, otherwise it will easily cause people to think too much.

Seeing that everyone was silent.

Feng Huojun couldn't help but look at Ye Lingtian and said, "Master Ye, do you have any questions?"

Ye Lingtian's face still had a lazy look. He clasped his fists and said, "Master Imperial Master, our Great Zhou suffered heavy casualties in this Northern Expedition. Perhaps we should reorganize our forces."

He asked questions that no one else dared to ask.

A strong military force is the key. Now he must raise this issue so that some of his previous preparations can be put on the table.

Everyone looked at Ye Lingtian deeply. This Young Master Ye really dared to say anything. However, as the third young master of Tianmen, and the young master appointed by Feng Huojun, whatever he said seemed normal.

Feng Huojun nodded gently and said, "You are right. I can let you handle this matter, but it will take a lot of money to organize the troops. You need to be responsible for this yourself."

Ye Lingtian smiled calmly and said, "I obey your command!"
