"A revolution in the art of war is imminent!" Duke Wei suddenly sighed ruefully.
General of Heavenly Strategies and the rest nodded their heads when they heard him.
Qin Mu and the thousands of scholars, as well as the divine arts practitioners of Dao Sect, Buddhism, and Koyu-kyo, were messing around, playing some Primordial Spirit Conference. The divine arts practitioners laughed and joked around, feeling that it was fun. However, the shock it brought to the generals who were leading the troops to war was incomparable.
Since ancient times, the battlefield was ever-changing, and the communication between the army and the reinforcements, rations, and the emperor was a huge problem. In the past, Yankang National Preceptor had built flying ships to fly in the sky, land boats, and paved roads to allow people to travel quickly.
Other than the people's livelihood, the purpose was to transmit information. Yankang Kingdom had also expanded its territory because of its geographical and aerial advantage.
However, as the borders of Yankang Kingdom became larger and larger, the time it took to transmit information also became longer and longer. The time it took for the army to move to the border also became longer and longer.
Qin Mu had improved the pill furnaces of the flying ships, and even though they could increase the speed, the amount of medicinal stones burned by the furnaces to transmit information was also considerable.
If a flying ship set off from the capital city to West Earth's True Heaven Palace, it would take several days, and the amount of medicinal stones burned would probably be enough to fight a small scale battle.
If they were to move troops on a large scale, they would still need to use strange beasts to supplement the infantry. Relying on flying ships to move troops would cost too much.
However, with the Primordial Spirit Conference of Qin Mu and the rest, as long as the primordial spirits gathered together, they could transmit information and grasp matters that were one to two hundred thousand miles away.
To a war, this method could almost decide the fate of the war!
"Your Majesty, Chancellor Qin used the word conference, he has the intention to rebel!"
An old official knelt on the ground and said loudly, "A conference is a court conference, and the so-called court conference refers to the civil and military officials of the imperial court meeting the emperor. Chancellor Qin used the word conference, which shows his ambition! May Your Majesty punish him! "
Emperor Yanfeng was speechless, and the other generals scolded the old official angrily. The old official kowtowed to the ground and knocked his head loudly, showing his loyalty.
After a moment, Emperor Yanfeng waved his hand and said calmly, "The word conference isn't used exclusively by the imperial court, Elder Yu Ge's knowledge is still lacking. Of course, attending the imperial court had to be referred to as a meeting of the imperial court, but it could also be used in other places. Back then, when Skyblade wrote the poem One-Line Sky, he wrote a preface before the poem, saying that he had a meeting with his friends at the Wei River. Skyblade is a big shot in the literary world and is a hundred times more knowledgeable than you. His works have been passed down to this day. He's not the Emperor, but when he uses the word 'meeting', I don't see anyone saying that he's plotting a rebellion.
The Emperor helped Yu Gelao up and said amiably, "Yu Gelao, you are old. I will not behead you and allow you to return to your hometown." Note: The word "meeting" appeared in the "Records of the Grand Historian" more than two thousand years ago. It may have been formed even earlier, so it is not an imported word.
The other officials were very puzzled. "His Majesty's mood is not bad today. He did not behead anyone. Yu Gelao only lost his official position but not his head. He's really lucky! "
"Everyone, don't say anything. Let's be quiet first!"
Qin Mu's voice could be heard, he said loudly, "Let me first test if the Yuan Shen can communicate with each other! Can you hear me? "
In the Hall of Supreme Learning, there were all sorts of noises. Countless voices said, "Yes! I can hear you very clearly! "
Qin Mu said, "When you execute your techniques, do you feel any discomfort in your primordial spirits?"
The numerous primordial spirits in the Hall of Supreme Learning were noisy. Suddenly, someone's primordial spirit vanished with a bang, only to suddenly reappear after a moment. It was very frightening.
There were also some people whose primordial spirits appeared and disappeared. There were also some people whose primordial spirits floated here and there. All kinds of laughter rang out, and the atmosphere in the Hall of Supreme Learning was foul. It was so noisy that everyone felt dizzy.
Qin Mu recorded all kinds of apparitions and clapped his hands. "Alright, dismissed!"
Everyone pulled back their primordial spirits and disappeared from the Hall of Supreme Learning. The first Primordial Spirit Meeting in history ended just like that.
Emperor Yanfeng turned his head and asked the scribe behind him, "Did you record it down?"
The scribe carried a thick scroll and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, this Primordial Spirit Meeting was just Lord Qin bringing a bunch of scholars to mess around. They only said a few sentences, and most of them were nonsense. Do we still need to record it down?"
Emperor Yanfeng sighed and tapped heavily on the scroll that he was using to record the important matters of the imperial court. He said earnestly, "If thousands of years later, the future generations look through the history books of Yankang and don't see the records of the first Primordial Spirit Meeting, the future generations are going to poke your spine and scold you! Not only do you have to record it down, you also have to draw it down. Draw the Primordial Spirit Meeting! "
Cold sweat broke out on the scribe's forehead, and he immediately recorded the first Primordial Spirit Meeting of Qin Mu and the rest. He also recorded down the few sentences that Qin Mu and the rest had said. He felt extremely wronged. 'These few sentences are clearly nonsense. Will the future generations scold me for such a small matter? However, if I don't record it down, Your Majesty will take my head … '
After another two hours, Qin Mu returned from a thousand miles away, and the other scholars also rushed back to Imperial College. Everyone was noisy, and it was incomparably lively. Qin Mu gathered all the experts that were proficient in algebra, and according to all kinds of apparitions that he had recorded down, they calculated where the technique was lacking.
Not long later, the technique was close to perfection, and there were no more phenomena of the primordial spirit jumping out.
Qin Mu and numerous scholars then climbed up to Hall of Supreme Learning and corrected the wrong rune markings. They busied themselves for half a day before running out with a few quick steps to test the primordial spirit coming out of the body for the meeting. This time, there were no more apparitions of the primordial spirit.
Emperor Yanfeng never left and waited quietly. He busied himself until the sky turned dark, and since the emperor didn't leave, the civil and military officials didn't dare to leave. They could only stand there.
When Qin Mu was done, he let the secretaries of Floor of Heavenly Records record down the technique and rune markings. Only then did Emperor Yanfeng go forward and say, "Grand Chancellor Qin has rendered meritorious service to the country, so how should I reward you?"
Qin Mu stretched his back and said with a smile, "If Your Majesty wants to reward, then reward everyone in Imperial College with a dinner. This technique isn't created by me alone, but by gathering everyone's wisdom."
