The moonlight at night, deep and sparse, the pines and cypresses on the street, the oblique shadows formed under the moonlight, seem so lonely, so shallow and desolate.The cold winds that blow and fall the dead leaves on the ground from time to time, so that they never have a safe place to live.The subjects of the Xuanyuan Empire, most of them lived a life of no fixed residence and fugitive all the way before they came here.It was Xuanyuan who took them in, gave them the warmth of home, and allowed them to live a dignified life.But why do so many people listen to rumors, sneer at their benefactors, and betray their relatives.In Wang Cheng, Xuanyuan Zhulie was also thinking about this problem.After the turmoil in the court, he hadn't closed his eyes for two consecutive days, and now as soon as he closed his eyes, the sight of those people crying for Mu Kang would appear in his mind.By candlelight, looking at the official documents in his hand, from the time he came back from the court to the present, more than 20 officials have resigned, most of them are young people under the age of 30, and most of them are civilian officials.Boom!
Boom!
Boom!"
Come in!"
The Grand Priest and another young official walked into the inner hall on the side of the main hall.Seeing the slightly haggard Xuanyuan Zhulie, De Changjun bowed respectfully: "I heard that Your Majesty has not slept yet, so the ministers have come to disturb me." ”"Oh!
You didn't sleep either.Is there anything to do with this king?
Isn't this Taibao Xiaoguang, why are you here too?
”I saw this person kneeling on the ground and made a standard salute: "Taibao Xiaoguang has seen Your Majesty!"
”"It's so late, and it's not above the main hall, so this kind of gift is exempt."
Suddenly, Xiao Guang cried and lay on the ground."
Wechen, I'm sorry Your Majesty!"
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Zhulie seemed to understand something, looked at De Changjun, and saw him shake his head and sigh deeply."
You also want to resign from this king?""
I hope Your Majesty will agree!"
This Xiao Guang is not very old, although he is a civilian, he knows a little about the art of war, and in the previous battles with the demon army, he can often put forward some constructive suggestions, and Xuanyuan Zhulie also looks at him differently and has the heart to cultivate it well.didn't expect him to leave, is Mu Kang's charm really so great?"
So, you also believe in the theory that the disaster star is ruined.""
Weichen doesn't dare!""
Don't you dare, why do you want to resign!
Are you, like Mu Kang, trying to force this king to get rid of his own bloodline?
”"Weichen doesn't dare!""
Don't dare to fart!
You pedantic people, just some unrealistic remarks, let you sit on pins and needles one by one, as if you have seen the end of the world, in vain I favor you, I can't imagine that you are with them, it is incorrigible!
Hopeless!
”Hearing this, Xiao Guang's face was extremely ashamed, although he struggled in his heart, but in the end he still chose to resign."
Your Majesty......
I...
I ......
"You me off!"
Never let me see you again!
”"Your Majesty, take care!"
After scolding Xiao Guang away, Xuanyuan Zhulie was already out of breath, and with a long period of insomnia, his face looked extremely bad.Seeing him like this, De Changjun stepped forward and comforted: "Your Majesty still needs to pay attention to your body, if you continue like this, your body will collapse." ”Xuanyuan waved his hand."
It's okay, I'm fine now.Why did the Great Secretary order you to come?
Will you also depart from me as they did?
”"Your Majesty laughed, the old ministers are already old, where else can they go, life and death will be tied to Xuanyuan City in this life.""
Alas!
It's still you old courtiers who are the most loyal to me, if it weren't for you, the Xuanyuan Empire might really be lonely like this. ”"Your Majesty, don't be discouraged, the old minister came here at this time to discuss some important things with Your Majesty.""
The big secretary has a heart, sit down and say."
After the two of them took their seats, De Changjun took out a series of official documents and put them on the table."
Your Majesty, these are the vacancies left by the resignation of officials in recent days, if they are not filled as soon as possible, the internal affairs of Xuanyuan City may face the crisis of paralysis, especially the two institutions of agriculture and commerce, if we do not appoint new officials in time, it will inevitably bring us unbudgeted losses, and please make a decision on your Majesty."
Xuanyuan Zhulie swept around the official documents, he was martial arts, and it was no problem to lead troops to fight, but these trivial matters in front of him really stumped him."
These things are still decided by the Great Priest, so there is no need for this king to participate.""
Your Majesty, this can't be helped, in the past, the appointment of important posts needed to be decided by the ministers through consultation, but recently, the two Si Ming adults have been ill and are recuperating at home, and the younger generation of high-ranking officials have basically left, so the old ministers came to His Majesty to discuss.""
Feeling sick?
Can this still be brought together?
”"Your Majesty doesn't have to doubt that the two old ministers of the palace have visited, after all, they are old, and the doctor also said that they need to recuperate well in the near future, and there will be no leave for this, and please believe in the loyalty of our old courtiers.""

Alas!
It's not that this king doesn't believe them, it's just that this illness has to be born together, which is indeed a bit strange.Don't talk about them, can't the big secretary do these things alone?
”"It's not that the minister can't do it, it's just that the rules are restricted, and many important things will encounter obstacles, lack of corresponding steps, and cannot pass the review of the Confidential Division.""
Rules?
What rules?
”"Don't you know, Your Majesty?
The official documents sent to His Majesty can only be delivered to His Majesty after at least two official seals are approved, and finally His Majesty stamps the big seal before the official document can take effect.Because the officials above the Taibao have resigned one after another, there is now only one official who is qualified to approve official documents, and the two Si Ming adults do not know when they will recover. ”"It's not simple, I'll personally send an official document tomorrow to appoint the chief secretary to order you to have the qualifications to approve it separately.""
That's unacceptable!""
Why?""
Now the country's internal affairs are already chaotic, and people's hearts are unstable, if there is such an illegal operation again, some people with intentions will definitely seize the handle, and spreading it will damage Your Majesty's reputation, and the old ministers will also be gossiped about."
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Zhulie frowned, because Mu Kang's matter had already damaged the hearts of his people, and if he made another thing out to add fuel to the fire, his reputation among the people would inevitably fall to the bottom, and the gains would outweigh the losses.In this way, it is definitely impossible to change the rules, and I really didn't expect the lack of officials to cause such a big trouble."
If the official document can't reach the king's hands, even if you want to appoint an official now, can't you?""
Yes, Your Majesty, an official document without a big seal is just a piece of waste paper, and nothing can be done.""
What is the process of reporting this official document?
Tell me to hear it to the king. ”"Yes, Your Majesty!
Official documents are drafted and submitted by any official, and the Confidential Department is responsible for issuing them, and after they are issued, they are transferred to the hands of the corresponding officials, and after being reviewed by these officials, they are sent back to the Confidential Division, and finally the Confidential Department checks and approves them before they reach His Majesty's hands.There are dozens of officials in this confidential department, and it is impossible to let the official documents that lack seals pass, and the official documents that are generally sent back for the second time will be destroyed on the spot, unless His Majesty comes forward to authorize them, but in this way, they will be caught by those who have a heart. ”"Isn't it okay to borrow an official seal?""
Huh!
His Majesty laughed.If this could be done, the internal affairs of the empire would have been chaotic long ago.If the official on duty is not there, it is useless to put ten seals, so many people in the Confidential Department cannot be fools, and it is a big crime if they are discovered. ”Hearing this, Xuanyuan Zhulie was a little impatient, and slapped the table and shouted, "His grandmother's!"
I can't imagine that this king will be stumped by the officials under his command one day. ”"Your Majesty is angry!
Your Majesty should not blame them for this matter, they are also in public service, holding the country's money, of course, they must be strictly controlled.The old minister also said just now that if they are not rigorous, the operation of the country will be completely chaotic. ”Hearing this, Xuanyuan nodded indifferently, he had always thought that there were too many civilian officials, but today he finally tasted the pain of lack of officials.If this is not done, some ambitious people will engage in favoritism and enrich themselves.After thinking for a moment, he asked."
Is there no other way?""
Yes, yes, but you have to trouble Your Majesty to do it yourself, because Your Majesty's Great Seal is the most critical.""
Hands-on?
Do you want me, the head of the country, to run around in the offices of the officials?
What kind of system is this, so be it, I will put the Great Seal with you for the time being, and you will return it to me when those two old fellows come back. ”"Your Majesty!
This is not to be done. ”"Why can't it work, it was given to you by this king, even if it is found, no one will dare to punish you, what are you afraid of!"
De Changjun thought about it, but still shook his head again and again to refuse."
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, do you really want to see this king huddle with those officials every day?
Publicize it, do you want the old face of my Xuanyuan family!
”"This ......"
"Don't say it, it's settled, will you still betray this king and do some nonsense?"
Hearing this, De Changjun immediately knelt down."
The old minister swears to be loyal to Your Majesty!
Loyal to the Xuanyuan Empire!
If there are two hearts, let the old minister turn into a monster and be spurned by ten thousand people!
”It's getting dark.De Changjun slowly walked out of the main hall, as if he was carrying something in his arms.……… A few days later.Xuanyuan Zhulie was pleasantly surprised to find that there were no more officials who resigned these days, and De Changjun also successfully recruited some officials, and when he met several of them, his abilities were very good, and some were even much stronger than some of the previous officials.There was no trace of decadence in the empire's agriculture and trade, and even more gratifying was the fact that rumors about the Calamity were declining among the people, and even no such rumors were even heard.All signs indicate that the empire is developing in a good direction, and it seems that the Great Commander has indeed lived up to himself and has not wasted his expectations and trust in him.In the afternoon of this day, Xuanyuan Zhulie, who was in a good mood, was visiting their mother and son in Princess Li's bedroom.Zhen'a, who was already able to open her eyes, made the old king giggle like a big child.Princess Li was lying on the bed, looking at the frolicking father and son, and her happiness and joy were overflowing.Family happiness was always short-lived, and an untimely rush from the guards interrupted it."
Report ~~~~~~~!"
Listening to this hurried voice, he knew that something big had happened, and Xuanyuan Zhulie had no time to blame, so he quickly asked him to report the reason for the incident."
Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the border pass, the demon army is attacking, and the border pass is urgent!
The hundred officials are already waiting in the main hall, and they ask His Majesty to go to the meeting quickly. ”"What!
Border emergency?
”Above the main hall."
Your Majesty!
The 100,000 people in Jinmen Pass were in a hurry, and the demons gathered three saint-level powerhouses to command 100,000 troops to attack our army's border fortress.General Xihe is struggling to resist, and it has been two days since the last general hurried to report the news, and I don't know how far the war has developed now. ”The general who reported the news was the confidant of the border commander Xihe Damo, and Xuanyuan Zhulie did not know many civil officials, but when it came to the generals in the army, there was no one he did not know."
One hundred thousand?

Three saint-level powerhouses?
”Xuanyuan Zhulie was surprised in his heart, he couldn't believe that the demon clan was capable of gathering so many troops now.The strength of all the fortresses in Kinmen Pass is less than 30,000 when it is full, and there is only one saint-level powerhouse, Xihe Damo.This news is indeed shocking, the importance of the Golden Gate Pass is clear to everyone, in case it is breached, the demon army can drive straight in, and the consequences are unimaginable.Look at the king on the throne."
Where is General Wen?""
The last general!""
How many troops can the four battalions outside the city gather now?""
Back to Your Majesty!
More than 20,000. ”"What?
Why so little?
”At this time, a civil official stepped forward and responded: "Return to Your Majesty!
Last month, most of the towns along the coast were hit by a tsunami, and the troops of the eastern and western battalions were redeployed to provide relief. ”I was reminded by him that I remembered how could I forget such a big thing, and the official document was still approved by myself.In desperation, he turned his head to look at the city guard."
How many guards and guards are there now?""
Back to Your Majesty!
Fifteen thousand. ”After calculating all the troops, Xuanyuan Zhulie began to order: "Command the Soldiers and Horses Division, notify the four cities of Jinze, Yaoguang, Huiri, and Giant Jianfeng, and let them mobilize soldiers and horses to support Kinmen Pass as soon as possible." ”The herald rushed out of the main hall as soon as he received the order."
General Wen!""
The last general!""
Quickly assemble the four battalions of soldiers and horses, and assemble the north battalion to stand by!""
The last general commands!""
City Keeper, quickly go and notify all the soldiers of the Garrison Guards and the Guards to assemble in the North Battalion, leaving only 1,000 soldiers and horses of the Garrison Guards.""
Weichen takes the order!""
Wait a minute!
After returning home, a temporary conscription order was posted at the four gates, and after the army left, all the recruits were soldiers defending the city. ”"Weichen takes the order!""
The army has been assembled for an hour and then set out, and the king will go to the border in person.In addition, send a messenger to inform the Jade Eagle Empire and the Nightblade Tribe of the news. ”"Your Majesty!
Do you want to send a messenger like the Li country?
”Li Guoyuan was far away in the Nanji Continent, separated by a sea, Xuanyuan Zhulie thought for a moment and nodded: "Send it together!"
You don't need to ask them for reinforcements, just let them know. ”Seeing that a series of orders had been issued, De Changjun stepped forward and said, "The old minister is willing to go with His Majesty." ”Seeing this, Xuanyuan Zhulie shook his head: "Da Si Ming should stay in the city, we can't mess up because of these little demon armies, the affairs of the city are still inseparable from you for the time being, and it is enough for General Wen to go with me." ”"But Your Majesty, the Demon Clan has mobilized three saint-level powerhouses this time.""
Huh!
Don't you believe in the strength of this king?
It's just three of them, not to mention that my second brother is here, don't worry about it. ”Seeing that the king had made a decision, De Changjun didn't say anything anymore.…… There was still some time for the army to start, and after leaving the main hall, Xuanyuan came to a secret room.As soon as the door of the secret room opened, a dazzling golden light shot out instantly.When I walked in, a giant sword more than one person high was quietly inserted in the center of the secret room, surrounded by all kinds of gold objects, and the dazzling golden light was released by these gold weapons.It is strange to say that some people nourish their swords with blood, and some people quench their swords with fire, but this giant sword only needs to absorb the nourishment of golden light.The bladeless heavy sword was covered with complex runes, and under the golden light, it could even emit a little strange brilliance."
It seems that the gold objects enshrined have dimmed a lot, and after a while, the king will have them replaced."
After saying this, Xuanyuan Zhulie stepped forward and grabbed the hilt of the sword, and the sage-level aura exploded instantly, but unexpectedly, the sword did not move at all."
Alas!
How many generations of my Xuanyuan family have not been able to wake you up, and now that the demon army is invading, you still have to continue to sleep, do you refuse to wake up when my Xuanyuan Empire dies?
Forget it, let's leave it to Zhen'er, this king has no chance. ”With that, he turned and left.In fact, on the day Xuanyuan Zhen was born, this sword had already been inducted, and the current state was just waiting.…… Outside Xuanyuan City, Beidaying.More than 30,000 soldiers in full gear are being paraded by the king.After everything was ready, in a flurry of horns, the army set off.Dressed in golden armor, with a tall horse under his hip, Xuanyuan was neatly armed, and looked as powerful as the god of war.Glancing back at the majestic Xuanyuan City, he was a little dazed at this glance, as if he was a little reluctant to look away.He shook his head violently, forcibly preventing himself from looking at it again, as a saint-level powerhouse, how could he allow himself to have such emotions.In fact, it's no wonder that he would be like this, the previous demon attacks were basically small fights, and the number of attackers was in the thousands, and the scale of more than 10,000 had not appeared a few times, and this time, the number was really unexpected.Although there were many demons in this era, there were no real demon powerhouses to unite them.This time the army of 100,000 demons, if it weren't for the fact that the officer who reported the news was Xihe Damo's henchman, he wouldn't have believed such a number at all.Moreover, there was another person who reported the news just now, who was also an officer he knew, if it weren't for the real thing, Xihe Damo would not have sent so many urgent reports in a row.There is no need to think about this now, the most important thing at the moment is to speed up the pace, it takes two days for the scouts to report the news, and it will take at least ten days for such a large-scale march.Therefore, Xuanyuan Zhulie handed over the army to General Wen to command, and led 3,000 light cavalry as the vanguard, setting off first, intending to arrive at Kinmen Pass within three days.I only hope that Xihe Damo can hold on to the pass and wait until the moment he arrives.
