Did something big happen? Look at your tearful words. You really surprised us … These people looked at each other. Last night, the entire continent was turned upside down. Even now, the smell of blood still lingers in the air … Could it be that you did not hear anything at the prime minister's manor?
We do not believe this.
However, even though the three of them thought this, seeing Diwu Qing Rou's calm demeanor, they could not help but feel at ease. It was as if no matter how big of a matter it was, it was not worth worrying about …
When he first came in, he was impulsive and had already unknowingly run off somewhere.
"Something big happened!" Jing Meng Hun said, "Last night, more than twenty thousand Jiang Hu people fought over Ask the Heavens Sword and Underworld Saber. There were large-scale fights in many places in the city. The Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Rites were destroyed. Even the capital's garrison was turned into ruins. There were countless casualties. Right now, we are counting. "
"Oh …" Diwu Qing Rou nodded, "Is that all?"
Is that all? The three of them were speechless. Is that all?
Especially Jing Meng Hun, he was even more depressed. Last night, Diwu Qing Rou strictly ordered Golden Horse Riders Department not to participate. That was why Continent City was in such a mess.
If Golden Horse Riders Department was involved, it would not have been this chaotic.
"King of Hell Chu's plan is really vicious!" Han Bu Chu said worriedly, "Plus, it seems like it has succeeded. It has successfully caused chaos in Continent City. Right now, Continent City is like a battlefield. More and more outsiders are coming in. Continent City is about to be full. The bloody fights are getting more and more intense. Right now, there are hundreds of fights every day. Many Jiang Hu people even dare to attack the army … "
"The ordinary people are even more anxious. If this continues, what will happen?"
"Hmm …" Diwu Qing Rou looked up and said thoughtfully, "Gao Sheng, what about that Duke Ji?"
"He knows King of Hell Chu, and they have a good relationship. He did not hide anything about this. " Gao Sheng frowned, "But he also refused to reveal any information. Plus … he said that when the Ji clan comes to Continent City, he will return with the clan …"
"Hmm … It really is watertight." Diwu Qing Rou sighed softly. Then, he nodded and said, "Such an aristocratic family's younger brother is indeed extraordinary. Originally, there wouldn't be any breakthrough here. But … have you conveyed our attitude? "
"Yes, but Ji Mo didn't seem to care about it," Gao Sheng said. "His reaction was very calm."
"Hmm, we need to send an expert to keep an eye on Ji Mo's whereabouts." Diwu Qing Rou pondered, "What about that Feng Bu Tong? Is there anything suspicious? "
"As for that Mao Tong Tong … he is the descendant of the Stealing God and Thieving Ghost …" Gao Sheng cautiously said, "This person's status is extraordinary. He has two masters who are at the peak of the King Level. So, I'm afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future if we touch him. And searching for him … is not within the rules of the Layered Heaven … "
"As long as the identity is verified, a small Tong Tong... is not worth making a move." Diwu Qing Rou chuckled and said, "Last night, the garrison outside the city did not move, right?"
"No." Han Bu Chu solemnly said, "Prime Minister, we must mobilize the garrison outside the city to come in. With just the ones inside the city … I am afraid that our strength is too weak."
"Otherwise!" Diwu Qing Rou waved his hand and said decisively, "Let him make a ruckus! Let him make a mess! The bigger the ruckus, the better. It would be best if we could attract all the Jiang Hu people within a thousand miles of Great Zhao! "
"Ah?!" Han Bu Chu had never imagined that Diwu Qing Rou would say something like this.
"Prime Minister, if we let him make a ruckus … I am afraid that this city will …" Han Bu Chu sucked in a breath of cold air and said hurriedly.
"Bu Chu, you are still stuck in the old style of dynasty power struggle. You see the importance of a city." Diwu Qing Rou gently said, "You need to look at the long-term."
"The long-term?" Han Bu Chu was a little perplexed. After following Diwu Qing Rou for so many years, this was the first time he felt that his thoughts could not keep up.
Prefecture was the capital of Great Zhao. How important was it? Was it not important in Diwu Qing Rou's eyes?
"Prefecture is the capital of Great Zhao. It is located in the heart of Great Zhao. It is surrounded by many cities and heavily guarded. Even the closest enemy was at least a thousand miles away! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is impregnable! "Diwu Qing Rou smiled faintly," But in my eyes, this is simply a joke! A joke that people despise! "
"Joke?" Han Bu Chu frowned and lowered his head to ponder the meaning of these words. Not only him, but even Gao Sheng and Jing Meng Hun could not help but think about it.
"Building the capital in a place that is protected on all sides is simply a cradle for cowards!" Diwu Qing Rou said in a low voice, "The capital cannot be built on the front lines, but it should not be built in a cradle. It should be set at an appropriate distance so that there will always be a sense of crisis. Then, no matter if it is a minister or a general, they will work hard to protect it. Moreover, they will do their best to expand the territory and eliminate the threat. This is the way for a country to prosper!
"That year, the first monarch of Great Zhao was a man of great talent and bold vision. But he clearly did it for the sake of enjoyment and for the sake of preserving his legacy. Therefore, he built the capital in Prefecture. It is a miracle that such a monarch could establish a country. But in the years that followed, their misdirection delayed Great Zhao for hundreds of years. For generations, this invisible idea of preserving the legacy has influenced the monarchs of Great Zhao. It has also delayed Great Zhao's hegemony. "
"Even if he was a promising monarch, he would be thousands of miles away from the battlefield. All he could see and hear was singing and dancing. How could he cultivate any ambition?"
Diwu Qing Rou smiled faintly, but his smile was full of mockery, "Therefore, Great Zhao did not start to expand until I, Diwu Qing Rou, was born. Before, it was not that we did not have the strength to expand, but that we did not want to. Without me, Great Zhao, I dare say that one day, Great Zhao would have collapsed into a comfortable place. "
"And the biggest threat is Iron Cloud!" Diwu Qing Rou walked to the window and looked to the north. He slowly said, "You see, when it is snowing and cold in Iron Cloud, the passersby wear three layers of raccoon fur coats and still feel cold. But here, we only wear a jacket and we can survive the winter. Three thousand miles south of Prefecture Jing, it is like spring all year round. Such a big difference in geography, can't you see it? "
"What?" Han Bu Chu asked subconsciously.
"A cold place is bound to give birth to unruly people. A harsh place is bound to give birth to martial arts. Moreover, Iron Cloud is covered with grasslands and close to the northern border. Iron Cloud's men, when they look around, are connected to heaven and earth. How big of a mind is that? In the long run, how can martial arts not become the norm? " Diwu Qing Rou said, "For thousands of years, the northerners have been the symbol of valiance. Moreover, the chaos on the borders was caused by the northerners."
"Compared to Iron Cloud, Great Zhao is too weak." Diwu Qing Rou said casually, "Therefore, we must make changes."
Han Bu Chu was silent. He carefully thought about Diwu Qing Rou's words. He felt that they made some sense, but also seemed to be full of other meanings.
"When you look at Iron Cloud Nation, you only see that it is being suppressed by Great Zhao. But you forget, how many years has it been since Iron Cloud was founded?" Diwu Qing Rou said casually, "Three hundred years ago, Iron Cloud's Tie clan was only a noble family. But after years of expansion, the clan's private army expanded to the point where it became ambitious. So, it was replaced. Two hundred years ago, Iron Cloud was founded. At that time, it was only a country with a dozen cities. "
"One hundred and thirty years ago, Iron Cloud already had a large amount of land. It had nearly one hundred cities."
"Eighty years ago, Iron Cloud's territory expanded again. We had an army of a million people …" Diwu Qing Rou sighed deeply, "Forty years ago, Tie Shi Cheng appeared out of nowhere. He directly doubled the size of Iron Cloud's territory within ten years! Slowly, even the grasslands did not dare to invade Iron Cloud. "
"And Tie Shi Cheng was not satisfied. He led a million troops south to fight a decisive battle with Great Zhao." Diwu Qing Rou took a deep breath, "Today, even though I have trapped Iron Cloud with my evil plan, the new ruler of Iron Cloud, Tie Bu Tian, is also a genius."
"In two hundred years, Iron Cloud has changed seven or eight rulers. But Iron Cloud's territory has expanded from two hundred years ago to the present. It is already thousands of times bigger than when it was founded."
Diwu Qing Rou sighed, "Facing this kind of data, do you not feel the pressure? Do you not feel fear? "
"What does this mean? Have you not thought about it at all? "Diwu Qing Rou's eyes showed a trace of exhaustion.
"Could it be … these rulers of Iron Cloud were all founding monarchs?" Han Bu Chu finally understood something. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly said an answer that made even him dumbfounded.
"More than ten rulers, more than ten peerless heroes!" Diwu Qing Rou's eyes were deep, "More than ten ambitious overlords!"
"And think about the Great Zhao Empire. In the past two hundred years, more than twenty rulers have appeared!" Diwu Qing Rou sighed deeply, "How about comparing it to Iron Cloud?"
Han Bu Chu lowered his head in shame. It had to be said that ever since the founding of the country, there were only a few emperors who worked hard to make Great Zhao prosperous. However, after that, there was no movement, and they maintained the foundation of their ancestors.
It looked like they were defending, but in reality, they were retreating.
In the past few years, there were not many rulers who were incapable. But they were all mediocre and did not have the domineering aura to swallow the world.
Compared to the rulers of Iron Cloud, the rulers of Great Zhao were the same as trash.
"Such rulers are not fit to be rulers!" Diwu Qing Rou sighed deeply. Such rebellious words came out of his mouth, but Han Bu Chu and the others only felt that it was a matter of course.
They were indeed not fit!
