Chapter 278: Going to Fight Against Jinwu, Prime Minister Chen Ke, Obeys the Imperial Decree and Hopes that His Majesty Will Return Victoriously!

Looking at the prompts in front of him, Lu Mingyuan had a guess in his mind.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing him in a daze, Qi Muxue couldn't help but speak.

"Nothing, just thinking about how to deal with the six countries."

Lu Mingyuan came back to his senses and smiled lightly, indicating that it was okay, but when he looked up, Qi Muxue's face still made him slightly dazed, and soon returned to normal.

Perhaps he was used to Qi Muxue's tone, even if the voice was different, it didn't matter.

After looking at this face for a long time, there was really an inexplicable sense of disobedience.

Qi Muxue expressed her understanding: "Don't work too hard. If you have any questions, you can ask the cabinet and Chen Ke. Now he is already the leader of Confucianism and Taoism. His status in the Confucian Temple is gradually rising. He is expected to become the twelfth sage of my Great Yan."

Lu Mingyuan nodded: "Don't worry, after I deal with the affairs of the six countries, I will definitely find a way to help you return to your real body."

"Yes."

After Lu Mingyuan left the palace, he told the eunuchs in front of the emperor who were waiting at the door:

"Ask the Minister of War, Mr. Wang, to come."

"Yes."

The eunuchs in front of the emperor replied respectfully.

The so-called Mr. Wang is actually his grandfather.

Since he ascended the throne, all the staff and worshippers in the East Palace have been granted official positions.

His former subordinates basically took control of the power of the three provinces and six ministries.

Grandfather Wang Hefu was reinstated.

The cabinet minister and the minister of war are also the regent ministers.

In addition, Su Youhuai, the general manager of the East Palace, entered the court and served as the Minister of Personnel and the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and also had the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi.

This status is just like the standard of a prime minister.

The Great Yan Dynasty did not establish a prime minister. If there was one, it would be the chief minister. However, even the chief minister was not as good as the chief minister of the government. The government meant that one could recruit retainers to handle government affairs and had great autonomy.

Mainly after Lu Mingyuan came to power.

All officials in the country had to be re-evaluated, which was no different from a major reshuffle. All the remnants of Emperor Yong'an were recorded in the book, which was a huge workload.

Lu Mingyuan handed this work to Su Youhuai.

As for the power of supervision, the Jiantai Division, and the Military Equipment Supervision responsible for making military equipment, Lu Mingyuan handed it over to the military strategist Shen Yuanxi.

As for Chen Ke, he was relatively idle, the Minister of Rites and the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.

The position of the chief minister has been vacant so far.

Lu Mingyuan has not yet decided who to give the position of the chief minister to.

In fact, the most suitable candidate should be grandpa.

He has the qualifications and brains.

The only bad thing is that the other party is his grandpa.

Lu Mingyuan doesn't care about reputation. Let the students in the academy criticize him, whether he is nepotism or a one-man show.

It's just that grandpa's status in the Confucian Temple is very ordinary and can't play the role of winning over the Confucian Temple.

It can only be icing on the cake.

If you need to win over the Confucian Temple, then Chen Ke should be the best choice.

The only flaw may be the qualification issue.

Combined with what Qi Muxue said just now, Lu Wang's Xinxue has spread throughout the Middle Earth and is popular in many small countries. In the next ten years, there is a tendency to surpass Neo-Confucianism and become the world's number one knowledge.

This qualification is a matter of time.

This position of the prime minister can be won by himself against all odds.

"See His Majesty."

While Lu Mingyuan was thinking, Wang Hefu had already arrived at the gate of the Imperial Garden.

"There are no other outsiders here, why is grandpa so distant?" Lu Mingyuan said with a smile.

Seeing his grandson who used to be in the cold palace has become a dragon among men, the ruler of a country, and the master of Da Yan, Wang Hefu was quite emotional, and tears streamed down his face as he said, "Grandpa never dared to dream that you could wear this dragon robe."

When he heard that his grandson was banished to the cold palace, how could he dare to think that Lu Mingyuan could become the emperor?

It was good enough to save his life at that time.

I can only say that his grandson is very secretive, cautious in everything, and deserves the destiny.

Lu Mingyuan smiled slightly when he heard this: "I have worried grandpa for these years."

"I won't say anything sentimental. Is there something important that called me here?" Wang Hefu wiped his eyes with his sleeves and said very seriously.

Lu Mingyuan said, "I want to know all the news about Jiayu Pass."

Wang Hefu was very confused when he heard this: "Jiayu Pass is the first major pass in our dynasty. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has high mountains and obstacles. It is also the most powerful pass in the world. What's wrong with it?"

Lu Mingyuan explained, "I have a bad feeling in my heart. I hope that grandpa can write a letter to the guards and generals to re-check the gates of Jiayu Pass, strengthen patrols, and send more troops to report to the court as long as there is any movement and situation around it."

"Okay, I know."

Although Wang Hefu didn't know where Lu Mingyuan got the premonition, he still did it without asking more questions.

He just needed to listen.

It can't be said that he is Lu Mingyuan's grandfather, so he can override Lu Mingyuan.

This is not right.

He has been an official for many years, so he is naturally well versed in this.

Know what to do and what not to do.

After informing his grandfather, Lu Mingyuan also waited patiently.

He wanted to see the words on the black tortoise shell, whether it was a prophecy or something else.

Time flies.

Seven days passed.

On this day, Wang Hefu hurriedly found Lu Mingyuan.

When he arrived at the palace, he didn't see anyone yet, but heard his voice:

"Your Majesty, after many days of searching by the garrison, we found the footprints of the army on the snowy mountain!"

"Obviously, the Golden Crow Kingdom wants to bypass natural dangers such as cliffs and snowy mountains, and reach Jiayu Pass to catch Dayan by surprise."

"I see."

Lu Mingyuan immediately understood the thoughts of the Golden Crow Kingdom.

Within Jiayu Pass, there is an unobstructed view of the plains and the rich Northland. It is called a God-given land and is one of the granaries of Great Yan.

The Golden Crow Kingdom really spent a lot of money.

Under the natural danger, coupled with the dangerous cliff fall and the extremely low temperature after many days, at least one-fifth of the troops will be lost.

"Have the guards at Jiayu Pass stepped up patrols?" Lu Mingyuan asked.

"Yes, and the nearby states and counties have also sent additional troops to help prevent a bad situation from happening and prevent the situation from happening." Wang Hefu replied.

Lu Mingyuan nodded lightly.

Very good, it seems that the first wave of offensive has been defended.

His eyes flickered slightly, and he was certain in his heart.

The words in the black tortoise shell are not prophecies, but things that have already happened.

If the tortoise shell in his mind is compared to the Bagua, it represents the Yang hexagram, which can predict future events and gain blessings from fate, that is, fate.

The black tortoise shell of the Empress of the Underworld is the Yin hexagram, which can be used to learn the news of what has happened in the past and guard against unforeseen events.

One is the future and the other is the past.

I just don’t know what other functions this black tortoise shell has.

If two turtle shells were combined into one.

Isn't it equivalent to being able to see through all kinds of things in the past, present and future, all people and all things, with complete insight, almost omniscience and omnipotence, integrating one's own past, present and future, it is a rare treasure comparable to a supreme fairy weapon !

With the joy in his heart suppressed, Lu Mingyuan began to think about how to deal with the Golden Crow Kingdom's countermeasures.

It can be known through the writing on the tortoise shell.

Now the six countries have united and shared the same hatred. Some dynasties even dispatched coalition forces to invade the Great Yan Kingdom.

Then I can't sit still and wait for death, I have to give them some color.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingyuan snorted coldly:

"A mere Golden Crow dares to offend my Great Flame, you are really looking for death!"

"Pass my decree, all officials will come to Shengming Palace to discuss matters within half an hour!"

Within half an hour of waiting.

Lu Mingyuan went to the entrance of the dungeon set up in the Royal Garden alone.

There were two sword cultivators in green robes guarding the entrance to the Royal Garden. They seemed to be from the same sect.

"I've seen the Holy One!"

The two sword cultivators saluted respectfully.

They saluted from the bottom of their hearts. After all, it is human nature to respect the strong.

"How is the situation with the witch?"

Lu Mingyuan asked calmly.

"When I returned to the Holy Land, there was nothing unusual. It was very quiet. There were basically no words."

"Um"

Lu Mingyuan nodded and entered the dungeon.

There were no lights in the gloomy and damp Imperial Prison, and one or two ghostly and inhuman screams could be heard from time to time, which made people feel creepy.

Seeing the familiar dungeon, memories came to Lu Mingyuan's mind.

A few years ago, he woke up from the dungeon.

It's just that the witch flew away, and he was the one who was imprisoned.

Now, everything has changed.

Once upon a time, he let the witch go, which resulted in him being thrown into the cold palace.

Now, he is the emperor and has captured the witch.

Everything starts from the starting point and ends at the end.

Lu Mingyuan followed the jailer who led the way and came to the deepest prison.

There were prisoners along the way, trying to glare at him.

But they were all frightened to the ground by his faint glance.

He is now blessed with the luck of an emperor, and with the blessing of his destiny, if ordinary people dare to challenge him, they are seeking death.

The pressure of the heaven-human realm will teach him how to behave.

The imperial guard who led the way took off the heavy chain from the gate, making a "clatter" sound.

Then retreat to one side.

Through the torch in the hand of another forbidden soldier, Lu Mingyuan could clearly see the figure of the woman in the prison.

Wu Gongyu was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed.

Bai Lotus's arms, slender waist, and small ankles were all covered with Dayan's special dragon locks.

This dragon lock was developed in conjunction with the Dao Sect. It is a unique weapon against monks. It is made of thousands of years of ice soul crystals found thousands of meters under the sea in Nanhan Continent.

It is also engraved with a large number of Taoist true talismans personally carved by the Taoist Supreme Lord, which can suppress 99% of middle and fifth-grade taxis.

It is insulated from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. No matter what faction the monk is, as long as he locks this thing, he is almost like an ordinary person.

Twelve dragon locks make it difficult for even a saint to escape.

But then again, a saint will not stand still and offer you his hands to tie you up.

The cost of this thing is indeed expensive, and only felons will use it.

This prison has all kinds of food, drink and food, so it can be considered a relatively luxurious private room.

Lu Mingyuan did not treat Empress Da Ming badly, after all, it was Qi Muxue's body.

"how?"

Lu Mingyuan spoke first, breaking the silence.

"how?"

Wu Gongyu opened his eyes slightly and glanced at him. His voice was as cold and indifferent as ever, but his voice was pleasant.

"Everything starts from prison and ends in prison. How does it feel?" Lu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"You seem very proud?" Wu Gongyu said calmly.

"Now that you are a prisoner, why can't I be proud of you?" Lu Mingyuan asked.

Wu Gongyu continued to close his eyes and stopped looking at him: "Then you can continue to be proud. If you are here to show off, there is nothing to say between us."

"People of the bright side don't speak secretly."

Lu Mingyuan's face became solemn, and with a wave of his hand, an air barrier formed by the gathering of vitality was formed here, and he asked seriously:

"Where did you get this black tortoise shell?"

Wu Gongyu did not answer him directly, but smiled faintly, opened his eyes and asked: "I also want to ask you, where did you get your tortoise shell?"

Lu Mingyuan's expression froze and he frowned.

"Aren't you afraid that I will destroy your body and soul so that you will never be able to return to the Holy Underworld?"

Wu Gongyu's smile became even thicker, and the corners of his red lips curled up: "Threaten me? Do you really have a way?"

"If you really had a solution, would you still come and ask for my opinion?"

She raised her eyebrows and said, "I want to know the function and origin of tortoise shells, but why should I tell you?"

"If you let me go, I'll tell you."

Lu Mingyuan snorted coldly: "Don't even think about it."

Wu Gongyu smiled lightly again and said: "Then we have nothing to say."

"I don't know what's good or bad, I'll figure it out myself."

Lu Mingyuan saw that she was holding on to the information so tightly that he had no intention of asking.

He had already guessed that Wu Gongyu wouldn't tell her, but he still couldn't help but come and give it a try.

Unexpectedly, it was a cold butt.

Looking at Lu Mingyuan's leaving figure.

Wu Gongyu's eyes were lowered and flickering slightly.

A red light appeared in the palm of the hand, as if there were lines of red text.

Shengming Palace.

All the officials were standing on the left and right, and the whole place was silent.

Lu Mingyuan, who was dressed in a dragon robe, was sitting on the dragon chair at the highest point of the hall, with an indifferent expression, showing no anger or authority.

It was as if this position was born to belong to him.

Perhaps a hundred years later, people will also call him Emperor Long Yuan.

"Now the Golden Crow is invading my border with Great Yan."

"My dear friends, what do you think we should do?"

Lu Mingyuan's eyes swept across the faces of the ministers and asked.

When he was down there, he was still wondering why his father always looked left and right.

Only now did he understand.

This is a manifestation of confidence and dominance.

It is the best way to intimidate the ministers.

Facing the inquiry, the ministers were still thinking.

The champion took a step forward, his armor shining brightly, he cupped his hands and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, anyone who offends our land, Great Yan, will be punished no matter how far away they are."

"The general thinks it's time to send out troops to attack him!"

"good!"

Lu Mingyuan cheered.

The champion is worthy of being his father-in-law, and he is like a roundworm in his stomach, thinking about it together.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to express this choice of sending troops.

His father-in-law is simply his mouthpiece!

"What do you think?"

But for the sake of harmony in the court, Lu Mingyuan still had to ask more questions.

"We think what the champion said is reasonable. If a country is weak, it has no power to speak out. If a country is strong, everyone will be frightened. This battle is the first since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne and cannot be tolerated."

Su Youhuai, the Minister of Civil Affairs, came out to support.

"I agree, Mr. Su is right."

Shen Yuanxi, the chief officer of the Jiantai Department, came out to support.

"I second the proposal."

Chen Ke, who was wearing a red robe, also stepped forward slightly to echo and came out to support.

"The same goes for me, too."

Wang Hefu came out to support.

At this moment, four cabinet ministers, who also served as ministers, agreed to the decision of the champion, equivalent to most of the court's bosses, who had already taken sides.

This made the officials stunned.

Many people shook their heads secretly.

Nowadays, the Holy Emperor's control over the court has reached such an extent that it seems that their opinions are no longer important.

It's all just a formality.

More and more ministers came out to agree.

"The same goes for me, too."

Lu Mingyuan was very satisfied seeing the troop dispatch plan passed so easily.

He looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance and asked sharply:

"I dare to ask Mr. Li, is my Dayan's treasury silver enough?"

A slightly fat minister came out.

"It's enough to report to Your Majesty."

Lu Mingyuan's eyes moved away.

"Is there a surplus of food and grass in various places in Great Yan?"

"Good enough!"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance mentioned Dantian.

Lu Mingyuan finally looked at the champion: "Huo Qing, is the morale of our Dayan soldiers sufficient?"

"Good enough!!"

The champion shouted with great momentum.

"good!"

"good!"

"good!"

Lu Mingyuan uttered three good words in a row.

"In this case, I decided to go to Jiayu Pass in person to attack and kill the rebels."

Hear the news.

For a moment, Manchao was shocked.

"Your Majesty, you must not do this."

"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"

"Your Majesty, don't you hear about the incident a hundred years ago?"

In an instant, voices of dissuasion could be heard.

Lu Mingyuan scolded directly: "Why are you panic?!"

The pressure of martial arts swept through the court, and all the officials fell silent.

Lu Mingyuan's eyes were so sharp that they could almost reflect light, and he said word by word:

"The invaders can go, and so can I!"

"Then if the new King of the Golden Crow dares, why don't I dare?"

Feeling Lu Mingyuan's powerful aura, the ministers immediately stopped talking.

Lu Mingyuan nodded secretly and announced the next message: "During my absence, Chen Ke will serve as the chief assistant of the cabinet and supervise the country."

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers all looked at each other.

Unexpectedly, a young man from a humble family who had only been in office for a few years would be the first assistant.

This result is surprising.

However, compared with the previous one, it can be said to be dwarfed by the previous one, but it is not unacceptable.

Chen Ke's eyes were clear, and he bowed his hands in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "First Minister Chen Ke, I will obey the imperial edict. In addition, I hope that the emperor will return victoriously and defeat the six countries!"

"I will obey the imperial edict. I hope that the emperor will return victoriously and defeat the six countries!"

"I will obey the imperial edict. I hope that the emperor will return victoriously and defeat the six countries!"

The ministers followed closely and said the same thing.
