Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Daxia Empire, capital city.

The residence of Prince Taipao Chen.

Luo Chen was sitting in a study room, playing with the jade ring in his hand.

He has been sitting here all day, and there is a message on the desk in front of him.

The content of the message was a message sent to him by Sheng Zengren, hoping that Luo Chen could save his life.

Yes, Sheng Zengren is actually Luo Chen's dog, but this dog has been a little disobedient in recent years.

Therefore, Luo Chen broke off contact with Sheng Zengren in these years.

When he saw Sheng Zengren again, he wanted to continue to rely on him, but the price was to save his life.

Luo Chen actually hesitated, but in the end he chose not to save her.

There was no other reason, just because Sheng Zengren had chosen to treason, so he didn't want to save him.

Luo Chen is actually a person who loves Daxia, but he and Lin Yi despise each other.

How should I put it? Luo Chen is actually a man who values ​​literati. In his philosophy, warriors are just a group of reckless men who will only make Daxia more chaotic.

If you want to make Daxia rich and powerful, you still have to look to scholars like them.

He thought so and did it.

His decades of official career allowed him to establish his own power on top of the court he established.

A large number of scholars took refuge in his service, and the emperor sometimes even wanted to avoid him.

After Luo Chen took control of the court, he also began to try to change this ancient empire.

Build new schools, encourage trade, and sign contracts with other countries.

Sometimes, in order to stabilize Daxia, he even advocated giving profits to the Western powers.

Because he knew that if Daxia wanted to become stronger, it could only learn Western technology and integrate Daxia into the Western world.

However, the Western world seems unwilling to accept Daxia. Every time Daxia takes a step back, the Western countries take a step forward.

In fact, after many Western countries sent troops to intervene, Luo Chen also realized that Daxia needed some force.

Therefore, he eased the conflict with the warriors and even accepted some warriors to join the civilian camp.

This includes Sheng Zengren.

However, his acceptance is actually more like taking advantage.

In his consciousness, Daxia must govern the country with culture, not with force. It is even more impossible to establish a Western-style military government.

Therefore, Luo Chen began to engage in the contradictory situation of wooing the military while attacking the military.

The people he attracted were all those who chose to follow his orders, and their status in his own camp was very low.

The ones who suppressed were those who were unwilling to obey his arrangements.

Therefore, he was not angry when Sheng Zengren betrayed him, because he already knew what kind of person Sheng Zengren was.

In the words of their soldiers, if Sheng Zengren was a man of integrity, would he choose to surrender to him?

Since it doesn't matter anymore, there is no question of being alive or not.

There is no problem if Sheng Zengren wants to rejoin. After all, in Luo Chen's opinion, Sheng Zengren has soldiers and is stationed in the Western Region, so it is still valuable.

However, it was absolutely wrong, absolutely wrong. After Sheng Zengren betrayed himself, he then chose to betray Daxia. This was what he couldn't tolerate.

Even if Sheng Zengren repeatedly jumps between him and the military, he can save the other party's life.

And now, hehe.

However, what Luo Chen was thinking about now was not Sheng Zengren, because in his opinion, Sheng Zengren was a dead man.

What he is thinking about now is Lin Yi.

Prince Rui, who has only emerged in the past year or two, seems to have matured.

He admitted that when he looked at Lin Yi before, he made some mistakes.

Originally, he thought Lin Yi was just an idle prince who was just waiting to die, but in the past two years, he had made great achievements in the new army.

First, they defeated the coalition forces of John and Gaul. Later, they regained the pass, retook Goryeo, Ryukyu, and even gave Sakura Country a ruthless blow.

As a Daxia native, he was very satisfied with Lin Yi because Lin Yi had saved Daxia, but as a minister of military aircraft and the crown prince, he was very afraid of Lin Yi.

The first point is that because Lin Yi is getting stronger and stronger, the military has a vague idea of ​​​​wanting to join Lin Yi.

If Lin Yi really acts as the spokesperson of the military, then Daxia's current good situation may be lost because of this.

After all, the internal fighting consumes Daxia himself.

Secondly, he was worried that Lin Yi would ignore the entire Daxia and establish a military government, a military government that only knew about conquest.

If that's the case, Daxia's ending will definitely not be too good.

The third point is that he is worried that Lin Yi might teach Prince Zhao Xi a bad lesson.

Zhao He was a figure that Luo Chen had trained since he was a child and would inherit Daxia in the future. How could he be allowed to get too close to Lin Yi and get some bad habits.

In fact, to put it bluntly, what Luo Chen wants is a Daxia that can obey him, not a Daxia where warriors have the final say.

Regardless of Daxia's current victories, from the perspective of Luo Chen outside the island, Daxia is now in a dangerous situation.

Maybe Daxia will embark on a road of no return.

"It seems that it's time to cause some trouble for Prince Rui." Luo Chen murmured.

Luo Chen didn't want to kill Lin Yi. No matter how you put it, Lin Yi had served the country and Luo Chen would not kill Lin Yi.

All he wants is for Lin Yi to step down and take away all his current positions.

The best way to achieve this goal is to involve Lin Yi in public opinion.

Thinking of this, Luo Chen smiled, because he happened to know a secret about Lin Yi.

At the same time, this secret can also create a rift between Lin Yi and Emperor Zhao Xu.

Once there is a crack, the chance of ousting Lin Yi will be even greater.

Thinking of this, Luo Chen smiled happily.

At the same time, it was also in the capital.

Lin Yi had just received a report from Zeng Shaoqing, saying that he had successfully captured the Western Region, and asked for Lin Yi's next instructions.

Lin Yi thought for a while and called Zeng Shaoqing back, asking him to temporarily take over the Western Region and wait for the court's follow-up arrangements.

At the same time, Lin Yi also told Zeng Shaoqing to be careful of sneak attacks from the Rakshasa Kingdom and the John Kingdom.

If they encounter provocation from the Kingdom of John and the Kingdom of Rakshasa, they are allowed to shoot first.

In Lin Yi's opinion, it's all nonsense that you can't shoot first when something happens.

If you don't shoot first, are you waiting for the person on the other side to shoot you first?

What's the matter, you have to suffer losses before you can fight back?

Lin Yi is not used to this problem. In his opinion, only by eliminating threats in the cradle can he be safe.

Besides, what happened if I hit you? If you don't cross the line and don't provoke me, will I hit you?

Therefore, if you deserve the beating, you have to endure it. As for whether it will trigger a war?

Then let's fight and see if Rakshasa and John are willing to give up the large market of Daxia.

Besides, the Great Xia of today is no longer the Great Xia of a few years ago, and they can only submit to the Kingdom of John.

In today's Daxia, not to mention a full-scale war, at least a local war, Lin Yi is not timid at all.
