Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 9 Court Conference

Wufeng was trapped by **** all night and couldn't sleep well. Get up and rush into the room of Qin Shuangying and Gu Yunxia, ​​who are not far from the next door, and simply deal with the two of them together, but after thinking about it, they feel that this will damage their glorious image, and the gain is not worth the loss, so they have to swallow their anger and drink a few bowls of cold tea to force it to burn With the fire of desire, he endured this difficult night under the quilt.

Early the next morning, Wufeng got up to exercise and made some necessary preparations for the meeting in the city.

When entering the city, there were some expected episodes. Several "well-informed" news media learned that the military and political governor of the northwest of the empire had completed the military mission in Northern Luzon and was about to go to Beijing to face-to-face and report on his duties. As soon as the news came out, a super strong lineup was dispatched to wait in front of the city gate early in the morning, finally blocking Wufeng and his party inside the west city gate. No matter what Wufeng said, many reporters still asked Wufeng to go to Beijing to report on his work after being interviewed. Even though Wufeng used the name of His Majesty waiting to be summoned as a cover, it still failed to make these reporters who were used to the big wind and waves give up. In the end, Wufeng I had to agree to be interviewed by the reporters first, but each media outlet was only allowed to answer three questions, and the total time was limited to one hour.

Fortunately, Wufeng has experience this time, and he used no comment as a shield for issues involving private matters, which greatly affected the enthusiasm of the reporters. Resolutely marching into Luzon with dignity and humanitarianism" ("Imperial News") is no small matter, and the details of the incident in the Empire are not very clear, so most reporters still focus on this issue. .

Wufeng explained one by one, and took the trouble to tell how the local people supported the empire, how the ethnic minorities were discriminated against and subjected to ethnic cleansing, how their own army fought **** battles to liberate the people from fire and water, and The structure of the newly established local self-government, the subordinate relationship with the central government of the empire, etc., all the reporters were elated and fascinated. Depressed and breathless. There are even quite a few journalists who are older than this, and they are already secretly thinking about how to use the fastest speed, the most exciting and innovative topics, and the most detailed and exaggerated content to attract the attention of the resentful imperial subjects.

An hour passed quickly. Although the reporters were very dissatisfied with Wufeng's short reception, they thought that Wufeng could take out such a precious gift before he had an audience with the Emperor. Time to receive the reporters, the emphasis on the news media can be seen, and it is still acceptable.

After agreeing on the follow-up interview matters, Wufeng pretended to be reluctant to leave the reporters and left the reporters. Reporters from various media also left one after another and returned to their respective offices, striving to present this first-class news to everyone as quickly as possible. Newspapers, and what's more, they have already started to prepare for the next solo interview with Wufeng and start accumulating materials. They are trying their best to write high-level news, and work hard to compete for the highest award "Golden Horn Award" held by the Imperial Press and Publication Administration every year.

Emperor Situ Mingyue has been annoyed recently. Although he used the excuse of losing the southern front to purge the faction in the southern military region that favored his third son, Situ Jun, this was not his original intention. No one wants to see his country's army It's just that since this phenomenon has occurred, someone must be responsible. It just so happens that Chen Xiangnan and his subordinates have deviated from the track they arranged, so they have to bear this responsibility.

But this is not the most troublesome thing for him, the person in the northwest is the one who makes him feel conflicted the most. Megatron in the Northwest, national hero, peace and prosperity in the territory, the people live and work in peace and contentment, ambitious, ulterior motives, bold, arrogant and domineering, it seems difficult to focus on this series of statements, which makes himself, the emperor of the empire, a bit difficult. The ministers attacked him together, but his two sons defended him vigorously, and even fanned his own pillow, which really made him feel a little difficult.

Calculating the time, this guy should arrive in two days, anyway, after he arrives, let's see how he explains it. Situ Mingyue leaned on the armrest of the imperial chair, absently listening to His Highness's new Imperial Intelligence Deputy Minister Zhou Baozhong's report on the secret peace talks between the Milanese and the Machihans, while thinking.

"Because of successive defeats on the battlefield, as early as half a month ago, the calls for an end to the war and negotiations with the Machihans in Milan began to rise. King Louis XI suggested negotiating with the Mace Khans, but it was not until ten days ago that the Second Corps of the Kingdom of Milan was hit hard by the East Road Group of the Mace Khans. The secret negotiations of the Khans."

The person who reported the situation was a tall and thin middle-aged man. He was Zhou Baozhong, the new Deputy Minister of the Imperial Intelligence Agency.

Due to successive errors in the imperial intelligence system, Situ Mingyue took considerable responsibility for the defeat on the southern front of the empire. He, and Tie Neng, the Minister of the Imperial Intelligence Agency, were also fined for one year, and were not allowed to go to the palace to discuss politics for one month. Ma Zhengfeng, the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the General Administration of Military Affairs, who bears the greatest responsibility, was stripped of all his posts and deprived of his title and gentry status. Send the slave market to auction in the nature of official slaves.

Seeing that His Majesty sitting on the imperial chair was a little distracted, Zhou Baozhong cleared his throat and continued to report: "The negotiations between Nelson and the Machi Khans are progressing very quickly, and it seems that the Machi Khans don't want to get too involved in the war on the Eastern Front According to reliable information, the two parties have reached an agreement. The specific content is unclear, but the withdrawal of the Machihans from the territory of Milan, the withdrawal of the armies of both sides from the border area, and the restoration of trade and diplomatic relations between the two parties should be the main contents. "

Situ Mingyue finally turned his attention back to the front: "So, can the Machihan people concentrate on dealing with us?"

"It should be like this. It is said that the Milanese are also very dissatisfied with us. They think that we did not invest enough troops and put too much pressure on their front, which will lead to their failure." Zhou Baozhong replied cautiously.

Situ Mingyue didn't speak for a long time, just thinking silently. Zhou Baozhong saw that His Majesty was lost in thought, so he didn't dare to say more, just waited quietly.

"Very well, I understand, you step back first, and I'm about to go to court early, I need to get ready." With a light wave of his hand, he signaled Zhou Baozhong to leave, and Situ Mingyue leaned back in his chair wearily.

Zhou Baozhong silently saluted and left.

As the morning bell rang, the ministers who had been waiting outside the Hall of Qinzheng entered the hall one after another, preparing for a new day of court proceedings. Situ Mingyue, the emperor in formal attire, was already sitting on the Kowloon Throne facing south and facing north, his face was no longer tired, and he looked refreshed.

"Dear dear ones, please report as soon as possible." Glancing at His Royal Highness and ministers, Situ Mingyue seemed to be in a better mood again.

"Your Majesty, the minister Zhou Baozhong has a performance." According to Situ Mingyue's order, the Deputy Intelligence Minister Zhou Baozhong was the first to appear.

"Speak."

Zhou Baozhong briefly recounted the content of the morning report, and this information immediately aroused discussions among the officials in the palace.

"What do you think about this matter? Feel free to tell me." Situ Mingyue's face darkened, and he glanced at the ministers who were whispering.

The hall suddenly fell silent, and no one spoke for a while.

In the end, it was He Zhiqiu, Minister of Military Affairs, who appeared in the middle of the hall with a slightly hunched figure, "Your Majesty, I have something to say." He Zhiqiu, who has been in the ups and downs of the officialdom for decades, also feels the unpredictable power of God. He didn't want to speak at first, but the fate of the frontline troops was at stake. He knew that even if he didn't speak, His Majesty the Emperor would still point at him in the end, so Had to take the initiative to come out.

"He Aiqing, tell me your opinion." A rare smile appeared on Situ Mingyue's gloomy face.

"If the Milanese and the Machihans cease fighting, it will have a huge impact on our southern front. At present, the Mahads and Andakos have actually compromised with the Machihans, and their army has not moved at all , coupled with the armistice of the Milanese, the Machihans have no pressure on the eastern front, and their elite troops, the Habayashi Corps, will move westward, which will pose a huge threat to our southern army. The Nanyang Alliance refused We still maintain normal economic and trade relations with the Machi Khans in accordance with our requirements, and these eastern countries have also resumed economic ties with the Machi Khans, so our economic sanctions are actually useless.”

"Continue talking." Situ Mingyue said expressionlessly.

"The Maqihans have stabilized the situation in the occupied area after occupying Yuejing, and there has been no riot or uprising as we imagined. There is already a division moving east, presumably preparing to join the battlefield in their own country. The minority riots in Sanjiang County have not subsided yet, but I doubt that even if they subside, Lin Guoxiong will not accept the imperial order to cooperate with the Southern Military Region He may find another excuse to prevaricate." He Zhiqiu's voice became deeper and deeper.

"Then what do you think?" Situ Mingyue's tone couldn't hear any emotion~IndoMTL.com~ I think it should be carefully considered, the morale of the southern army is not high at present, and the new frontline troops are not familiar with the situation, and It is also relatively tired and not suitable for large-scale battles. "He Zhiqiu plucked up the courage to express his opinion, but sweat was dripping down his back.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Situ Mingyue did not express his opinion, but his dark eyes lingered on the faces of other ministers.

"Do you have any other opinions?" Situ Mingyue's emotionless voice echoed in the hall.

"I agree with Mr. He. Now our army on the southern front has no advantage over the Maqihans, and the Maqihans no longer have any worries. They can concentrate on dealing with our offensive. I'm afraid we It is very difficult to win in the short term. Now it is approaching the festival of the Spring Festival, and once the festival is over, it will be a busy season for spring farming. If the war continues, I am worried that it will affect the agricultural harvest in the Wuhu area this year." Qin Yuedong, the Minister of Agriculture of the Empire, was on the list. He is a senior veteran of the empire. He has served as Minister of Agriculture for twelve years. He is also known for his integrity in the court and has a high prestige.

The Wuhu area is the most important granary of the empire. It has always been said that "five lakes are cooked, the world is full". It accounts for about half of the grain output of the entire empire. The grain it produces is not only supplied to the empire, but also exported in large quantities, earning a lot of gold coins for the empire. It has an irreplaceable position in the empire.

Qin Yuedong's words immediately aroused the reactions of many ministers. In the past two years, the entire empire was severely drought, and the grain income dropped sharply. Jia, as soon as these words came out, even Situ Mingyue couldn't help frowning slightly.
