He lifted up and rushed straight towards the palace.

...

My arrival triggered a discussion in the court. The new emperor Xuanyuan Li was high above and sat firmly on the dragon throne. Not far away was the seat of the white-clothed Qingqing Xiangfeng Wenwen. This seat was lower than before. After Feng Buwen lost his cultivation, his body seemed to be backfired by the great way. He looked sick and placed the seat too high, which made him more laborious.

Under the Jin rank, civil and military officials were separated on both sides. On one side were the censors, Fengchang, Minister of Rites, Minister of Revenue, etc., and on the other side were Shanhai Gong Nangong Yi, Minister of War Tan Guozhu, Sikong Hai, Nangong Chi and others. The important officials who could rank in the Xuanyuan Empire were basically all present. As for the middle, there was a long table on which sand tables were made of southern front-line vassal states such as the Xuanyuan Empire to the Daxiang Dynasty and the Changfeng Empire.

"The King of Xiaoyao is here!"

Accompanied by the golden armored guards, the ministers on both sides turned around and bowed one by one.

I nodded gently, walked straight to the front of the generals, stood in front of Nangong Yi, and then clasped my fists and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to discuss matters?"

“That’s right.”

Xuanyuan Li said in a deep voice: "According to Fengxiang's proposal, the mountains and rivers of the empire and the major vassal dynasties have been connected, and the time is gradually ripe. Just wait for a good day and choose the candidates for the Shanjun list, and we can enfeoff the Western Mountains."

"Um."

I nodded: "This matter...it doesn't seem to be slow."

Feng Buyin stood up and said, "Does Xiaoyao King know that something big happened in these two days?"

"oh?"

I was stunned: "What's the matter?"

He frowned and said, "In the battle of the Changfeng Empire, the throne Fan Yi lost most of the corps, and the East China Sea Legion under the command of the sword-caster Han Ying also lost nearly half. At the same time, one of the thrones, the Devourer, was killed by the Lord of the Dragon Domain, and the alien demon legion suffered heavy losses. But just two days ago, two thrones appeared on the East China Sea. The ancient war god Charles and the Demon Wings Landro, these two thrones crossed the East China Sea and arrived at the former site of the Daxiang Dynasty. They are now eyeing the many vassal states on the west side. If we don't prepare early, it is very likely that the Second World War will break out in a short period of time."

"That's right."

Nangong also took the lead and said with his fists: "Your Majesty, the last expedition to the Changfeng Empire seemed to have won a great victory, but in fact it was just a tragic victory. In the fierce battle outside the Changfeng Empire, the major legions of the empire suffered great losses. For example, the border defense team of the Lingnan Province lost more than half, and the smallest loss of fire corps also reduced at least 50,000 troops, and the troops and equipment needed to be supplied. In fact, we are no longer able to fight another expedition."

"His Majesty!"

The Minister of Revenue came out and held the jade scepter in his hand and said, "The Ministry of Revenue has calculated that the expedition of the Changfeng Empire has consumed nearly 70% of the food and grass in the treasury. Now it is spring plowing, and the people have not yet collected the grains. The treasury cannot have more food. If you fight again, even if there is no problem with weapons, armor, equipment, etc., the food and salary will definitely not be distributed. At that time, complaints will be everywhere, and it is probably aroused one mutiny that could have been avoided!"

Xuanyuan Li nodded: "I know what the two lords mean."

I frowned and didn't say anything.

At this time, a minister of the Ministry of Rites stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the war has been repeated recently. The foreign rangers of the Shanhai Department of Rites have investigated the mountains and rivers of various parts of the empire. Among them, the mountains and rivers of Lingnan Province, the Northern Wilderness Province, the Far East Province, the Yunxi Province and other places have weak spiritual energy, far less than before. If Mu Tiancheng, the Nanyue Mountain Jun, continues to use the luck of a country's landscape, the foundation of this country will soon be exhausted. Fighting again will be a dry pond and fishing. Not to mention people, the mountains and rivers of the empire will also take some time to re-nurturing."

...

I frowned and looked up at the wind.

Feng Buwen just smiled and shook his head, looking helpless.

"How many meanings?"

I walked forward a few steps, turned around and stood at the king's stairs, and smiled and said, "What do you mean by the Lord Xiaoyao, who is so powerful?"

"I dare not wait, please give your highness a clear explanation!"

The Minister of Rites hurriedly came to the list.

Nangong Yize said: "Your Highness, we are all old ministers left by the late emperor, and we are all determined to think about the empire's country. If there is any offense, please forgive me. This war... cannot be continued. If this continues, the national treasury will be exhausted and the fate of the empire's people will be exhausted. At that time... how can we be worthy of the late emperor's spirit in heaven?"

"Um."

I nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, everyone, as long as the alien demon army does not take the initiative to attack, there should be no war in the near future. As for your fear of war, I would also like to remind you that it is not that we can stop fighting if we don't want to fight. If we fight, we may have a place. If we don't fight, we will inevitably be annexed by the alien demon army. Children know such a simple truth, so you sir, don't you understand?"

Everyone was speechless.

The new emperor Xuanyuan Li stood up and said, "Brother, let's discuss the candidate for Xiyueshanjun?"

"good."

I nodded: "What do you have any recommendations?"

A minister of the Ministry of War came out and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I report to King Xiaoyao. I recommend the old minister of the Ministry of War, Mr. Tian Chong, who has been deceased for many years. After the old minister passed away, his soul has been kept in the ancestral hall among the clan, and there are no traces of dissipation. The old minister was a general and a commander. In his early years, he followed the former emperor to fight south and north, fought Rongdi, fought the wilderness of the Western Front, and fought the evil spirits of the East China Sea, and made countless great military achievements. He should be qualified to serve as the King of Xiyueshan."

"Tian Chong..."

Feng Buwen frowned and said, "The old man has passed away for more than 20 years, right?"

“That’s right.”

"I am afraid that although the soul of the old man is there, the fighting spirit of the past is gone." Feng Buwen said lightly.

“It’s true.”

Nangong Chi took a step forward and said, "Besides, this Western Mountain is not the Western Mountain of our country, but the Western Mountain of many vassal states. From north to south, the number, length and breadth of the mountains are the sum of the other three mountains. Such a huge mountain fortune is probably impossible to bear."

Among the crowd, the leader of the Flame Legion Wang Shuang took a step forward and said respectfully: "I am frank, although Tian Chong was once the Imperial Marshal when he was alive, he was personally expeditioned by the late emperor on many expeditions. The person who really commanded the battle was the late emperor, and Tian Chong was just a supporter. Rather than saying that those merits belonged to Tian Chong, it was better to say that they were the military achievements given to him by the late emperor. What's more, these old battles were just some small-scale battles and did not expand their territory. Even if Lord Tian Chong is still alive, he may not be able to bear the Xiyue Mountain Lord on his shoulders."

Wang Shuang's personality is indeed straightforward. It is a good thing to say with such a straightforward personality, but it may not be a good thing in the court. Thanks to me here to keep in charge, otherwise Wang Shuang's words would probably be enough to offend Tian Chong's disciples and officials when he was alive. You must know that Tian Chong, a powerful official, was not a little bit of the people who had received his kindness back then, and now they may have held important positions in various government offices.

"Um."

The new emperor Xuanyuan Li nodded slowly and said, "Mr. Wang Shuang said it makes sense. The empire's expansion of territory was basically in the late period of his father's reign. Tian Chong's contribution was certainly not small, but if it was compared with Feng Xiang and his brother, it would be worth mentioning."

"In this way, the threshold is too high, making it even harder to choose."

Nangong Yi shook his head and said, "We can't send people from Shanhaisi to find the soul of the late emperor, let the late emperor serve as the Xiyue Mountain Lord?"

"Shut up!"

I frowned: "How dare Lord Shan Hai so overbear? The last emperor is in good fortune, and he is another generation of wise and wise king. As for the Xuanyuan Empire, the last emperor will always be like the sky above, so how could he be a mere mountain king?"

Nangong Yi's face was pale and hurriedly knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty... Please forgive me for your fault!"

Xuanyuan Li waved his hand: "Forget it, Shanhai Gong is just a quick talk, I'll forgive you for not being guilty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

...

"So that's the case."

Feng Buwen frowned and said, "It's better to... first write a list and select all the heroes of the empires that can be used and available at this time. Then your Majesty and the King of Xiaoyao discuss the list of candidates for Xiyue Mountain Lord and the mountain gods. How about it?"

“Available.”

Xuanyuan Li nodded: "Although it is an urgent matter to enthrone the Western Yue, it cannot be too hasty. What do you think?"

I nodded: "Then let's write the roster first."

While speaking, I directly opened the Ten Directions of Fire Wheel Animation, and saw it into the heart of the new emperor Xuanyuan Li, peeling off his soul layer by layer. At the same time, the heaven and earth of the realm of the God Transformation were instantly enveloped, pulling Xuanyuan Li and me away from the world of everyone. Time seemed to be still, and no one would find anything wrong. Only Xuanyuan Li stood there blankly, his soul was peeled off little by little, but said tragically: "Brother... do you still don't trust me?"

I folded my fists and accused me of guilt: "Your Majesty, I just sensed that there was something wrong in the imperial city, for fear that another evil person would plant some seeds in Your Majesty's mind and make a big mistake. This is why such an arbitrary act will happen. Please forgive me!"

He raised his head and burst into tears: "What should I do to make my brother believe it completely..."

I didn't say anything, but just looked at his mind one by one, looking for something unusual with the Ten Directions of Huohe An, but for nearly a stick of incense, I found nothing. Xuanyuan Li's heart gate was closed, and I could not see his true thoughts. After all, Huohe An can only see what exists, and the thoughts in people's hearts are not something that Huohe An can see through.

"Swish!"

When I withdrew from Xuanyuan Li's heart, I folded my fists and accused me of the crime again: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, please forgive me for being arguing."

"It's okay, have you found any clues with me?"

"Nothing is wrong, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

“So very good.”
