Looking at the current situation in the world, there were seven countries.
The Li Dynasty was situated in the east, surrounded by enemies on three sides. Only the east, which was close to the sea, was temporarily safe.
The rest of the countries surrounded him and the neighboring countries with Great Gan as the leader had always harbored delusions towards Great Separation.
When countries were established, or after they were established, they all experienced some turbulent times.
For example, the covetous eyes of external enemies, internal divisions, and so on.
In the end, the seven kingdoms that were established all had their own foundations.
As for the other small countries that refused to join them, most of them relied on the seven kingdoms to survive as vassals.
For example, when the Li Dynasty was at its peak, the Barbarians were its vassals.
At that time, the barbarians would be in charge of expelling foreign invaders, let alone barbarians.
Later, as the Li Dynasty's power weakened, its influence in the world gradually diminished.
The Barbarians 'attitude towards Dali had become ambiguous. In recent generations, they had cut off all contact and started to invade Dali.
In the beginning, the Li Dynasty had adopted a peaceful attitude and sent them away with some things.
Who knew that the Barbarians 'appetite was getting bigger and bigger. They even coveted the fertile land of Dali and proposed to cede ten cities in the north for the Barbarians to recuperate.
The Li Dynasty would never agree to this, and the monarch was even more furious. He cut off the supplies to the barbarians and sent a large number of troops to guard the north.
That was why the barbarians had repeatedly invaded the Li Dynasty for more than ten years, and the Li Dynasty had repeatedly repelled the enemies.
However, one thing was clear. Although the barbarians had wild ambitions, they only coveted the territory in the north.
As for the hinterland of Dali and even the southern lands, the barbarians did not want them.
It wasn't that he didn't want it, but he knew that he couldn't take it!
That was because there was only one martial grandmaster in the Barbarian Race.
There were at least a few masters in Dali.
And this was under the condition that they didn't know what was going on in the depths of Dali Imperial Palace. There were already a few of them outside.
If an outsider invaded, even if they were not supporters of the imperial family, they would not sit idly by.
Moreover, when the rebels invaded ten years ago, the royal family had already revealed their claws and teeth.
The power of the old ancestor who attacked that day was at least a Rank-2 great grandmaster.
Moreover, in the history of Dali, there were often inexplicable rebellions, and some were inexplicably suppressed.
It was also rumored that the most important trump cards of the royal family were hidden deep in the palace. They were several masters of the Great Grandmaster Realm and a secret army.
Some simply combined the two, saying that there was a dark flag in the palace that was cultivated by several masters of the Great Grandmaster Realm. They would not make a move unless the royal family was about to be destroyed.
It was just like when the rebels rebelled back then. They fought all the way to the capital city before the martial grandmasters attacked.
This was the true foundation of the imperial family. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would definitely not move out.
The ministers in the throne room were well aware of the situation, but the situation was critical.
When the Third Prince killed King Zhennan, King Chi, and Daoist Wuyun, he did not hesitate at all. He was decisive and ruthless.
That day, he had said that horses had trampled the capital. Now that the Emperor had come this far, it was absolutely impossible for him to surrender.
Then there was only one final outcome. A martial grandmaster would fight in the capital!
However, this was a situation that none of the officials wanted to see.
Firstly, the strength of a martial grandmaster was too terrifying. If they really fought in the capital, it would affect the entire capital. The impact and losses would be too great.
After all, the old ancestor in Dali Palace was not only as capable as Daoist Wuyun.
No matter how powerful the Third Prince was, he could not easily kill the person or those few people in the Dali Imperial Palace with three slashes.
Secondly, the Third Prince's current rate of improvement was too terrifying. If this dragged on, who knew what would happen?
Everyone in the world knew that the Third Prince's cultivation progress was extremely fast. Moreover, his combat strength was so terrifying.
If he advanced to a Rank-2 grandmaster, it was easy to imagine who could stop him if a Rank-1 grandmaster did not appear.
One of the ministers knelt on the ground with his head lowered. Occasionally, a few of them would raise their heads to glance at the Emperor.
However, he found that the Emperor's expression was as usual, as if he had not heard their previous request at all.
"There's no need for ancestor to do anything."
Su Mo's eyes were as calm as an ancient well, and there was no joy or sadness on his face. It was as if he was taking everything to heart as he calmly spoke.
Everyone was puzzled. They stood up one by one and stared at the Emperor with wide eyes.
What did he mean?
There was no need for the ancestor to do anything?
His Majesty was implying that he still had other trump cards to deal with the Third Prince's army.
The Prime Minister's face lit up.
His Majesty had changed a lot recently, and his attitude toward the Empress of Da Qian was obviously different from before.
According to the news from his informants, His Majesty had never mentioned the Great Qian Empress recently.
Although he was not diligent in government affairs, as long as he stopped having delusions about the Great Qian Empress, at least he would not let the Great Li Dynasty suffer and benefit the Great Qian Dynasty.
Moreover, he had paid attention to the recent actions of the Second East and West Factories and dealt with many officials in secret, but without exception, their hands were not clean.
His Majesty was cleaning up the court and straightening out the atmosphere.
This was His Majesty's grand plan to build a great undertaking!
Hahahahaha!
I've waited for so many years and accompanied His Majesty all this time for this day!
"Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty, please tell me how to deal with the Third Prince.”
The Prime Minister seemed to have everything under control. I understand! .
The rest of the officials had already guessed this.
Yo! As expected of the Prime Minister. He's more well-informed than us.
The Emperor still had a hidden move to deal with the Third Prince.
"Your Majesty is wise!”
Su Mo sat on the Dragon Throne and looked at everyone's happy expressions.
He cursed in his heart. This was too serious.
He was a little embarrassed to tell them the truth, so he coughed slightly.
"Immediately order the defenders of the northern cities to fight to the death to prevent the Third Prince from entering Dali.”
"Ah?"
Everyone was stunned and did not react for a long time.
The Prime Minister was the first to bear the brunt. His heart trembled and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Your Majesty, are you playing with us?
I thought that you were a prodigal son who had turned over a new leaf. In the end, you turned around and punched the old minister, who was seeing stars.
The Prime Minister felt his vision darken and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, one of his hands supported the minister beside him, and he stood trembling on the spot.
A fatuous ruler!
A fatuous ruler!
