Volume 1, Chapter 130, Handling Government Affairs

When Qin Su in the court heard this, his face turned dark.

This Jiang Fei was a madman on the battlefield, extremely arrogant and domineering. Now that he has become a general, how come he dares to be so arrogant and domineering in the court?

Is it true that Jiang Yue is the only one in this world who can control him?

Looking at Jiang Fei who was feeling very proud, Xiang Yun laughed and said, "Well, since the Cavalry General has such great ambitions, then we will obey your orders!"

Jiang Fei was stunned, and quickly bowed and said, "I am here!"

"I hereby appoint General Jiang Fei as the Marshal of the Southern Expedition, commanding 300,000 troops. He will set out immediately to repel the invading enemy forces from the Black Witch Nation!"

When Jiang Fei heard that there was a war to be fought, he immediately said, "I will obey your order!"

But after saying this, Jiang Fei always felt something was strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

But this is an army of 300,000, and he is the marshal of the war. He has no reason to refuse.

Qin Su on the side almost laughed out loud when he heard this. My goodness, this guy is good at fighting, but his brain is not good. Now he has been sold out and is still counting money for others.

Xiang Yun then sat back on the dragon throne and changed the subject calmly: "During the time I was away from the capital, many interesting things happened in the Great Sun Dynasty!"

"They said there were eighteen rebel kings in various parts of the dynasty. Oh, by the way, I wiped out one of them when I returned triumphantly from the Mahayana Kingdom. Now there are only seventeen left!"

“Hahaha!” Xiang Yun suddenly burst into laughter and shouted, “After I heard about this, I almost laughed my teeth out!

A bunch of rabble dares to crown themselves kings, what a joke!"

"Wang Shu listens to the order!"

Upon hearing this, Right Prime Minister Wang Shu quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I am here!"

"I order you to immediately send a letter of divorce to each of the rebel kings, and ask them to commit suicide immediately. I will not pursue the matter. Otherwise, when the imperial army attacks us, all nine clans will be killed!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Shu immediately said, "I obey your order!"

Although he respected the order, he and all the civil and military officials were confused.

Your Majesty really doesn't take these rebel kings seriously. It would be fine if you didn't appease them, but you actually humiliated them in such a way. Aren't you afraid that these rebel kings will lead their troops to the capital?

What exactly is your Majesty's intention?

Unexpectedly, Xiang Yun gave the order directly after saying this: "Xuanyuan Dabing, Wu Guotao, and Guo Xuan, listen to my orders!"

The three of them immediately stood up, bowed and said, "I am here!"

“I order the three of you to be the generals of Pingxi, Pingnan, and Pingdong, and lead 100 Great Sun Giant Artillerymen each, 1,000 Rifle Troops each, and 10,000 Black Armor Troops each. Send them to quell the rebellions of the rebel kings in various places!

Wherever the army goes, anyone who refuses to surrender will be killed without mercy!"

"Your Highness, I accept your order!"

All the ministers suspected that they had heard wrongly. With just over 10,000 soldiers, you want to deal with the rebel king of an entire region. Is your Majesty kidding?

How could they know the power of the Big Sun Cannon? In Xiang Yun's opinion, even so many were not needed. These rebel kings were really just a bunch of chickens and dogs. As long as the cannons were fired, there would definitely be a lot of them who would surrender.

With Xiang Yun's current skills, he doesn't need any personal bodyguards at all, but Xiang Yun naturally doesn't want to waste a talent like Xuanyuan Dabing.

His personality is not suitable for being a member of the Anbu, so he can only be a general who kills enemies on the battlefield.

Having followed me in battles for so long and experienced countless battles, both large and small, you must have gained some experience and be able to lead troops on your own.

But Zhao Zhong was completely dumbfounded. What about me? Your Majesty, why don't you assign me a task?

I gave up the throne to show my loyalty to you, please don't be like this, okay?

Xiang Yun had long forgotten about him, so how could he remember him? He looked at Zhu Qiyu and said, "Left Prime Minister, listen to my order!"

"I order you to take off your official robes, demote you to an infantryman, and place you under the command of the Cavalry General. Follow the three armies to march to the southern border!"

Zhu Qiyu suddenly froze and looked at Xiang Yun in disbelief. What did it mean to let a civilian official go to fight in a war?

Isn't this embarrassing?

But Xiang Yunli ignored him and said to Jiang Fei: "I have handed over the left prime minister to you, don't let him die on the battlefield!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fei hurried to Zhu Qiyu's side, put his arm around his shoulders and laughed, "Left Prime Minister, don't worry. If you follow me into battle, you will only be on the battlefield killing enemies, not being killed!"

Zhu Qiyu's mouth twitched, he smiled bitterly, and said with a cupped hand: "I accept your command and thank you!"

Xiang Yun smiled and nodded, then said, "Prime Minister, please listen to my orders!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyi quickly stood up and knelt, waiting for Xiang Yun's order.

Looking at his figure, Xiang Yun's anger was half gone. Finally, he sighed in his heart, he still couldn't make up his mind.

Then he said: "I order you to immediately organize and select officials to go to the Mahayana Kingdom to take over the territory, and incorporate the territory of the Mahayana Kingdom into the territory of our Great Sun Dynasty as soon as possible!"

"I obey your order!" After saying that, Liu Yiyi raised her head and stared at Xiang Yun, making him feel very uncomfortable.

In fact, Xiang Yun originally wanted to punish these three prime ministers, but after thinking it over, he gave up.

No one is perfect. After experiencing this incident, Xiang Yun believes that the three of them will be able to grow better and one day they will be able to truly take up the banner of governing the country!

There is no genius or talent that you are born with and can use. Everything needs to be cultivated slowly by yourself.

The huge mess of the entire dynasty was solved by Xiang Yun in this way.

This is the advantage of having someone at your disposal. As the emperor, he only needs to make a decision, and his subordinates will do the rest of the work.

All the civil and military officials in the court could only smile bitterly in their hearts. You said that you were so arbitrary and autocratic, and all the decisions had been made without any intention of discussing with the ministers. Then why bother going to court? Can't you just directly issue the imperial edict?

As soon as he arrived at the imperial study after the morning court session, Zhu Qiyu asked for a meeting outside.

Xiang Yun sat on the dragon chair and flipped through the memorials. He asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

Zhu Qiyu quickly knelt down and said, "I beg Your Majesty not to start a war again!"

Xiang Yun paused, looked at him coldly and said, "Do you think my decision is wrong?"

With the experience of the last time, Zhu Qiyu did not dare to contradict Xiang Yun again, but said sincerely: "Your Majesty, there are countless disaster victims in all parts of the dynasty, leaving their homes and fields to escape;

During the spring sowing season this year, there will be a large amount of fertile land in our country that will be left uncultivated, which will lead to a sharp drop in grain production during the autumn harvest!

If this happens, in the second year, the people of the dynasty will have no food to eat, and the army will be the same. By then, there will be famine throughout the dynasty, and countless people will starve to death!"

"I will be rushing to southern Xinjiang to fight the enemy soon, so I am risking my life to give you advice. I hope Your Majesty will think about the country and the people!"

Xiang Yun frowned when he heard this. This was indeed a problem.

This year, the war consumed too much grain from the imperial court. If the autumn harvest remains the same next year, then he can continue to fight. But if the autumn grain output is halved, then it will be dangerous!

Although there is a large amount of food in the Mahayana Kingdom that can solve the problem, it is not a long-term solution after all. The root cause of the Great Sun Dynasty must be solved!

"I understand, you can leave now!" Xiang Yun said expressionlessly. After Zhu Qiyu left, he immediately asked someone to call Wang Shu over!

As soon as Wang Shu entered the imperial study, Xiang Yun said to him, "This time the three generals are going to suppress the rebellion, and you will go with them. I have a mission for you. Whenever you capture a place, immediately organize people to count how many people are missing and how many good fields are left uncultivated. Write them down and write a memorial to send back to the capital!"

"Remember, you have to personally count every territory, and you must not let your subordinates make false reports. Do you understand?"

Wang Shu quickly bowed and said, "I obey your order!"

Then Wang Shu thought about it and asked the question in his heart: "Your Majesty, there is one thing I don't understand. Please enlighten me."

Xiang Yun looked up at him, waiting for the next words, only to see Wang Shu say: "Your Majesty, why do you really think that only 10,000 troops can deal with so many rebel kings? Isn't this just courting death?"

Xiang Yun said calmly, "Lord Wang, you must remember that when you work under me, you must see many things with your own eyes. After seeing them, you can correct them and raise questions. Please leave now!"

Wang Shu was startled when he heard that, and he retreated obediently, but he couldn't help smiling bitterly in his heart.

"Your Majesty, he really doesn't want to tell his subjects anything, and holds all the power in his hands. Perhaps this is what a true emperor is like!"

The government affairs were handled, but Xiang Yun remained in the imperial study and did not return to the harem.

With such a huge harem, Xiang Yun really didn’t know where to go now.

The queen was still lying in bed, and Concubine Wang was still waiting for news of her revenge...

But in my heart, there was a huge rage, but I had nowhere to vent it.

It’s torture!

As Xiang Yun was thinking, he fell into a deep sleep while sitting on the dragon chair in the imperial study.

On the blood-red land, there was a red glow, and everywhere were the soldiers of the three armies of the Great Sun Dynasty who died in the war. At a glance, there was no end in sight.

"How could this happen? Where is this?" Xiang Yun opened his eyes and found himself on this land. The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood, which made him frown.

"Who are we fighting against? Why did so many of my soldiers die!" Xiang Yun ran around, constantly checking the soldiers who fell to the ground. They were all dead, without a single breath.

Xiang Yun couldn't help but look up to the sky and yell, "Where is this? Is there anyone here? Big pancake~Tang Shui!"

Xiang Yun shouted many times but no one responded to him. Only the firelight from the wood beside him emitted a little warmth, shining on Xiang Yun's face.

Xiang Yun gasped and fell to the ground, holding his head and shouting: "What on earth happened? I was just taking a nap. What the hell is this place!"

"Uh, hahaha~!" Suddenly, a violent and sinister laugh came from the entire blood-red earth. The next moment, the earth cracked like an earthquake, and the cracks continued to spread towards where Xiang Yun was.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Yun was terrified. He quickly got up from the ground, turned around and ran away in panic.

But the cracks in the earth seemed to be specifically aimed at Xiang Yun. Wherever he ran, the cracks would appear.
