Chen An looked at the old guys who were looking at him one by one.
He... was naturally too embarrassed to admit that he was confused.
Chen An coughed and rolled his eyes: "Zhang You!"
"I am here!"
"Tell me the situation!" Chen An, wearing armor, sat down with some effort.
The position was once the seat of Mu Heng, the prime minister of the central government. After Mu Heng's death, it became vacant.
Zhang You clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the Nine Suns Dynasty has sent people to collude with the people of the Free Territory to attack our Yun'an and Tianyang counties. Since the last emperor's downfall, due to the change of government, they have taken advantage of the chaos to attack us. The Yun'an and Tianyang County governor's offices have been captured, causing great losses in life and property in both counties!"
"Now, the Nine Suns Dynasty seems to have reached a secret deal with the Free Territory. The Free Territory has allowed the Nine Suns Dynasty army to move in. Now it seems that they are waiting for an opportunity to attack our Tianyue Dynasty!"
At this moment, Chen An realized that these guys thought he already knew the news.
Then he came to meet the ministers wearing armor, making these people think that he was expressing his attitude because of this matter.
This was something Chen An had never expected.
But after hearing what Zhang You said, Chen An didn't care!
But suddenly I realized...
Damn it!
I am the emperor now!
It would be wrong to ignore it, and... now the Tianyue Dynasty seems to be his territory, how can he tolerate others offending and slapping him in the face!
Chen An narrowed his eyes at the thought, "Aren't there two strong passes guarding the border between the Free Territory and our dynasty? How could the Free Territory break in so easily?"
Zhang You looked at the right prime minister Chu Yu!
"The Right Prime Minister was previously in charge of important military affairs. He should know the whole story, right?"
After these words were spoken, Chen An suddenly felt that Zhang You and this old-school minister seemed to be on bad terms.
Chu Yu bowed to Chen An and said, "Your Majesty, Fengguan Pass in Yun'an County and Tianyou Pass in Tianyang County were both left unused. The Freedom Territory secretly marched through the Hushan Trail. After the troops were launched, the commanders of the two checkpoints learned of the attack, but it was too late. They had already captured the two county governors' offices."
"And now, the defenders of the two checkpoints dare not act rashly, fearing a large-scale attack from the Free Territory. If the two checkpoints are lost, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
At this point, Chu Yu knelt on the ground and said, "This old minister has committed the crime of negligence. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Chen An looked down at Chu Yu who was kneeling on the ground.
This Chu Yu was originally the right prime minister of Huangfu Zhenghe, and now he naturally represents the collective interests of the old faction of the dynasty.
Chen An wanted to change them all at once, but he had no one!
If the Tianyue Dynasty is stable now and these old ministers are dealt with, these interest groups may feel threatened and secretly make things difficult for themselves.
Although he has the support of Fengshen Sect and the royal family, they dare not attack openly, but he can trip others up in secret without anyone noticing!
The most important thing is that he had just ascended the throne and had many powerful people under his command, but there were very few people who could handle government and military affairs.
Chen An glanced at Chu Yu and said calmly, "Get up!"
Then, Chen An looked around at the people in the hall and said in a serious tone: "This matter has no direct relationship with the Right Prime Minister. The county governors of Yun'an and Tianyang counties were not well prepared, and the two guards at Fenghui Pass and Tianyou Pass were not effective in guarding the border!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your magnanimity." Chu Yu kowtowed to express his gratitude and then stood up.
"Now that the enemy has reached our doorstep, Right Prime Minister, what do you think we should do?" Chen An looked at Chu Yu.
At this moment, Zhang You seemed to be hesitant to speak, constantly glancing at Chen An, even making faces, as if wanting Chen An to ask him.
As a result, Chen An turned a blind eye.
Chu Yu raised his head, clasped his fists, and said, "Your Majesty, I believe this matter can be resolved through peaceful negotiation. Border stability is of paramount importance. However, Your Majesty has come here in armor, so you must have made a decision. I will obey Your Majesty's orders."
When Chen An heard this, he thought that this old guy was really shrewd. After expressing his own views, he also did some Tai Chi. After talking nonsense, he pushed the ideas back to him.
Chen An smiled and said, "So, the Right Prime Minister is advocating for peace?"
"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and the people are unstable. Starting a war at this time is not conducive to the people's livelihood. Moreover, the Free Territory is clearly colluding with the Nine Suns Dynasty... A head-on confrontation will have unpredictable consequences."
Bang!
Chen An instantly slapped the armrest of the chair, and everyone in the room was shocked.
Chen An said sternly, "Although I have just ascended the throne, the enemy has invaded, and my Tianyue Dynasty is still trying to negotiate peace with them. Where is the dignity of the dynasty? Where are the people's hearts? Who will redress the suffering of the people who have been slaughtered and robbed on the border?"
Chu Yu drooped his eyelids and stopped talking, but there was no other expression on his face.
Chen An looked at Chu Yu, an old man who had worked his way up to the highest position in the government. He was indeed no simple man.
He was not at all intimidated by his own aura and seemed to be extremely reliable.
Chen An was too lazy to talk nonsense with this old guy and looked at Zhang You:
"Zhang You, what's your opinion?"
Zhang You was rubbing his hands, as if preparing to make a big move.
Hearing Chen An calling him, Zhang You perked up: "Your Majesty, I was just discussing this matter with the Right Prime Minister. The Right Prime Minister advocates maintaining stability, but I feel that at this moment, when the world has just been stabilized, it is even more important to uphold the majesty of the dynasty. How can we allow others to weaken Your Majesty's authority!"
Chen An nodded: "What do you think?"
Zhang You's face turned serious. "Your Majesty, I believe that with just one strategy, we can make the enemy flee. The Nine Suns Dynasty will never dare to act rashly again!"
Chen An's eyes lit up, and he had high hopes for this old man.
"Tell me about it!"
