Douluo's ice devil Yuhao

Chapter 465 Draw a Circle
No other members of the cabinet were present, only Jing Hongchen and Huo Yuhao were here.

As soon as Jing Hongchen saw Huo Yuhao, he solemnly said: "Huo Yuhao, you have taken too big a step."

"You have just succeeded to the throne and your foundation in the government is not stable. If you carry out reforms in such a big way, how much resistance will you face?"

"Even Mingdetang and I cannot be the dominant family in the court. Do you think those ministers and army commanders will accept me without impeachment?"

"Have you seen the way Ye Yulin looks at me? Do you think he is willing to listen to me?"

For the purpose of avoiding suspicion and convincing the public, the cabinet members also had to include some experienced ninth-level soul masters and important ministers. Star Douluo Ye Yulin was one of them.His qualifications and strength are not inferior to Jing Hongchen's, so it is impossible for him to be willing to listen to Jing Hongchen's orders without becoming resentful.

Huo Yuhao chuckled and said nonchalantly to Jing Hongchen: "Chief Assistant Hongchen, relax a little. There is no Sun and Moon Emperor Xu Sheng now, only cabinet member Huo Yuhao. I have to follow your arrangements, Lord Chief Assistant."

Jing Hongchen was dumbfounded by his words. He sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea, and tasted it carefully.

After taking a few sips of tea, he said slowly: "The Hand of the Protector Soul Engineer Group is only loyal to the royal family. They previously believed that Xu Tianran was the orthodox one, but now that Mr. Kong is backing you, there is no need to worry about orthodoxy issues."

"The third prince has no ambition to fight for power now, so there is no need to worry too much. Those civil servants cannot make any big waves. The government seems to be stable now, but you must solve the issue of control of the army."

Jing Hongchen's tone was quite serious.

"I'm warning you, the commander of each soul engineer regiment is promoted step by step from the squad leader, and has a very high prestige in the army. If you dare to order them to step down today, they will dare to mutiny tomorrow."

Huo Yuhao was silent for a long time and said calmly: "Master Hongchen Hall, what do you have in mind?"

He no longer called Jing Hongchen Chief Assistant. The title Hall Master seemed to lower his rank, but it narrowed the distance between the two.

The military issue does not need repeated reminders from Jing Hongchen, and it is what he has always paid the most attention to.

Jing Hongchen frowned: "You also saw today that the glorious Duke of the north launched a rebellion and wanted to establish his own principality. Of course he is not something to be afraid of, but if the protector of the country rebels, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Huo Yuhao said: "The hands of the protector of the country are stationed in Mingdu. I am confident that I can suppress them."

To a certain extent, he is more intimidating than Xu Tianran, who is supported by the two Long Ye duo, because the Holy Spirit Sect and Xu Tianran only have a temporary cooperative relationship, while Beidi Douluo will always stand behind him.

Jing Hongchen persisted: "It's useless if you just suppress them, you have to make sure they obey!"

Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought after hearing this. He thought of a few people and said, "Master Hongchen Hall, please send some graduates of Mingde Hall to the army. I think Ji Juechen's character should be very suitable for military life."

After Jing Hongchen thought carefully, he nodded and said, "This is the only way, but promotion in the army cannot be rushed, you must have military merit and prestige."

After pondering for a while, he thought: "This counterinsurgency is a good opportunity to accumulate military merit and reputation, or other wars can also quickly accumulate military merit."

After saying that, Jing Hongchen looked at Huo Yuhao and said calmly: "But for now, it seems that you will coexist peacefully with Tianhun Xingluo."

Huo Yuhao nodded honestly and admitted: "Yes, Hongchen Hall Master, I will not take the initiative to provoke a war. In the future, the border with Tianhun Xingluo will be opened to trade and a trade-friendly city will be built."

"My national policy is the word 'harmony'."

Hearing this, Jing Hongchen fell into silence again.

The Sun and Moon Empire is the most powerful and can defeat one against three. If the Sun and Moon monarchs sign a treaty and promise not to start a war, then the Douluo Three Kingdoms will definitely accept it happily.The entire Douluo Continent will usher in a brief period of peace.

Huo Yuhao was born in Xingluo, so it was impossible for him to allow the Sun and Moon Empire to start a war.

But in Jing Hongchen's heart, there is still a trace of passion for fighting for the Sun and Moon Empire to unify the continent.

It's just that he and Huo Yuhao are now completely on the same page and cannot have the slightest disagreement.If Huo Yuhao's identity is exposed, the Hongchen family will inevitably suffer losses.

Jing Hongchen thought of a distant figure, Caitou Xuhe's father and the old emperor's brother.At the beginning, he was also a peace advocate and believed that soul guides should not be used in war.

It's just that such a weak ruler will end up miserable.

But Huo Yuhao gave Jing Hongchen a strange feeling. Although he also advocated peace, he had some strong ambition hidden in him, which was completely different from He Caitou's father.

Jing Hongchen sighed and said: "Forget it, before going outside, you must first settle down at home. The top priority now is to consolidate your foundation in the sun and moon. As long as the foundation is strong enough, then you will be able to pretend to be real."

After discussing important government affairs in detail for a while, Jing Hongchen took a sip of tea and changed the topic to a lighter topic.

"Huo Yuhao, do you still remember the civil servant who complained every morning?" Jing Hongchen seemed to have thought of something interesting, his eyes smiling.

Huo Yuhao was deeply impressed by the silver-bearded old man: "Remember, what's wrong?"

Jing Hongchen chuckled: "The news just came out that he thinks that the establishment of this cabinet is deviant and allows me, Mingdetang, to dominate the government and rule the country. Now he plans to go on a hunger strike."

"If this cabinet is not revoked for a day, he will not eat for a day."

Huo Yuhao was also happy when he heard this, and sneered: "Crying day and night, can you cry to death? The master of Hongchen Hall remembers that during the days when he was on hunger strike, he sent people to sell barbecue in front of his mansion three times a day. He must remember to Fan the scent into his home and see how long he can endure it."

Sure enough, he guessed correctly. Apart from kneeling down in court, the only other things these civil servants could do were go on hunger strikes and bump into pillars.

However, he was surprisingly fond of a few of his remonstrators, who actually dared to speak frankly to him in court, and their attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, as if they were upright and awe-inspiring.He was also happy to argue with them as a pastime.

Even Jing Hongchen couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, Huo Yuhao was a bit too unkind.

Huo Yuhao held his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Hall Master Hongchen, do you think I behave like a tyrant?"

Jing Hongchen did not expect that Huo Yuhao would suddenly ask this question. He shook his head and said, "Although you insist on going your own way and set up a cabinet against everyone's opinions, you can't tolerate the voices of the ministers. You are far from being called a tyrant."

Huo Yuhao asked again: "When Xu Tianran was in power, was there so much opposition?"

Jing Hongchen shook his head again: "No."

Huo Yuhao asked curiously: "In that case, why do so many people not oppose Xu Tianran but oppose me?"

After Jing Hongchen thought carefully, he replied: "Because Xu Tianran is really a tyrant."

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled to himself.

It's really funny, facing a tyrant who has killed countless people, everyone is cautious for fear of saying the wrong thing, but when a new emperor comes who is a little more merciful, they all come out to speak freely.

However, he does not need to deal with those ministers all the time. Soon, the new emperor of the sun and moon will practice in seclusion and completely delegate power to the cabinet to handle government affairs.Huo Yuhao himself became a member of the cabinet think tank.

Next, he will represent the Sun-Moon Empire as an envoy to Xingluo and the Tianhun Empire, bringing the Sun-Moon Empire's peaceful foreign policy.

Jing Hongchen returned to the topic of the army and murmured: "It is impossible for the strongest of Duke Glory's men to reach the eighth ring level. I can arrange for Juechen and other students who are interested in joining the army to join the army and go to quell the rebellion."

"As long as you accumulate enough military exploits and prestige, and are strong enough, you can legitimately take up the position after the previous legion commander retires."

"As for those old army commanders, they can be promoted openly or secretly, be awarded the title of Duke, and enter the enshrinement hall."

A rough process has been initially drawn up, but it will take a long time to fully grasp the strength of the army.

"Military merit..."

Huo Yuhao was thinking secretly and suddenly thought of something good.

Eradicating the evil soul master definitely meant rich military merit, and he knew exactly where the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Sect was.

Demon Forest.

He must eradicate the Holy Spirit Sect, and he doesn't need the credit, so he can give it all to Mingdetang.

"Let's just arrange it like this for now."

Huo Yuhao nodded: "Master Hongchen, there is just a word in it that needs to be changed."

"What word?"

"Counter rebellion." Huo Yuhao said solemnly, "I prefer to call it liberation."

"When the time comes, I will personally take charge of the situation to avoid unnecessary casualties."

"The army must have military discipline. I don't want to see things like burning, killing, and looting after victory."

Jing Hongchen was slightly startled and nodded solemnly.

Huo Yuhao leaned back, took out his soul cigarette and took a sip, and said melancholy: "War always kills people, and unnecessary death is always bad. I don't understand why the Sun and Moon Empire has such a strong national power, but not If you think of using other methods to unify the continent, you can be at odds with the other three countries for 4000 years."

He didn't understand why in a world ruled by soul masters, an army of ordinary people was still needed to serve as meaningless cannon fodder.

Jing Hongchen asked in confusion: "The country was carved out inch by inch with artillery fire. How could there be a second method?"

Huo Yuhao curled up his lips, sat up straight, and looked at Jing Hongchen with a smile: "Hall Master Hongchen, what do you think is the fundamental reason why Sun Moon lost to Douluo Three Kingdoms?"

When talking about this topic, Jing Hongchen also became serious and said: "Of course it is because our previous level of soul guides and top experts are not as good as Douluo soul masters, but with the development of the times, we will soon be able to eliminate this problem. The gap and overtake lies within our generation.”

There was a flame in his eyes.

Huo Yuhao asked: "Then who do you think the biggest opponent Sun and Moon will face if they want to conquer the mainland?"

He took out a huge map of the continent and spread it flat on the table.

Jing Hongchen pointed decisively at the junction of Xingluo Tianhun and Dou Ling Three Kingdoms, a separate area in the west of the Star Dou Forest: "Of course it's Shrek Academy."

"Yes, it's Shrek Academy."

Huo Yuhao nodded and admitted: "Hall Master Hongchen, what do you think of Shrek Academy?"

Jing Hongchen gave a very high evaluation: "It is the holy land and spiritual totem of all the soul masters in the continent. There are countless strong ones. It is echoed by hundreds of people in the three kingdoms of the mainland. It is worthy of the name of the first force in the mainland."

There are many spiritual Shreks even in the Sun and Moon Royal Family.

One of Xu Tianran's dreams after reunifying the continent is to retain Shrek Academy and study there wearing the uniform of Shrek Academy.

Huo Yuhao said: "If the Sun Moon Empire intends to use force to unify the mainland, it must face the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces commanded by Shrek Academy. The Noumenon Sect is the country-protecting sect of the Tianhun Empire, and will never sit idly by."

Jing Hongchen shook his head and said confidently: "As long as we accumulate a few more years, on the frontal battlefield, no matter how many coalition forces there are, they will not be able to match our Sun and Moon Army."

"But Hongchen Hall Master, you should know that the advantage of the Three Kingdoms of the Mainland does not lie in the frontal battlefield, but in the top combat power of Titled Douluo and above." Huo Yuhao changed his tone and asked a question, "What if the top powerhouses of the Three Kingdoms come here?" Mingdu collectively self-destructs, can the Sun and Moon Empire stop it?"

Jing Hongchen didn't answer.In fact, they have already made their own guesses about this question, but until the day of life and death comes, no one knows what the real answer to the question is.

The death-defying counterattacks of the most powerful men like Du Bushu, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui and Mingdu's defense can block one or two, but if they all get together, the result will be that Mingdu is razed to the ground.

"Do you think you have any good ideas for dealing with Shrek Academy?" Jing Hongchen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked directly at Huo Yuhao with sharp eyes.

Huo Yuhao stood up with a frivolous smile on his face.

"Master Hongchen, I used to be a student of Shrek Academy. I can't do such a thing as throwing level nine fixed soul cannons at Shrek City. I don't want to use swords against each other unless I have to. But I do have A highly feasible conspiracy, are you interested in hearing about it?"

Jing Hongchen's curiosity has been completely aroused: "I would like to hear the details."

Huo Yuhao first asked a question: "What do you think is the fundamental reason why Shrek Academy has such great influence?"

"Nature is its heritage that has been passed down for thousands of years." Jing Hongchen replied in a deep voice.

He has been influenced by it since he was born. He regards Shrek Academy as his biggest opponent in life and investigates it deeply.

"Do you think it's just pure background? But I think there are many other objective factors." Huo Yuhao took out a red pen and drew a circle around Shrek Academy on the map.

"In my opinion, it's also because Shrek Academy has a unique geographical advantage."

geographical advantage?

Jing Hongchen felt a little strange about this explanation and began to think quickly: "Shrek City is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms and is an important trade hub. It is adjacent to the Star Dou Forest to the east and is rich in resources."

"Yes." Huo Yuhao nodded, "And the most important thing is that in this place, the influence of Shrek Academy can be maximized and radiate to the Three Kingdoms. Only the best geniuses in the Three Kingdoms can get letters of recommendation and go to the history of history. Studying in Shrek ensures a steady stream of high-quality students at Shrek Academy."

"Yeah." Jing Hongchen didn't express any objection.

Huo Yuhao continued his analysis: "In other words, on the surface, Shrek Academy is only a small city. But in fact, it is an unbreakable organization jointly forged by the elites of the three continents and inherited for thousands of years."

"In other words, facing Shrek Academy is to face the ten thousand years of accumulation of Tianhun, Dou Ling and Xingluo Three Kingdoms at the same time. It will be very difficult for the Sun and Moon Empire to attack by force."

His tone became more and more high-pitched, and his speaking speed also increased unconsciously, which made Jing Hongchen's curiosity become stronger and stronger: "Then what is your plan?"

Huo Yuhao grinned and asked: "Master Hongchen Hall, look at the map, is there any position that is not inferior to Shrek Academy?"

Jing Hongchen was stunned for a moment and looked at the map again.

"You mean...?"

"That's right!"

Huo Yuhao used a red pen to draw a circle at the junction of another three countries, that is, between the sun and the moon, Tianhun and Xingluo.

Jing Hongchen immediately understood what he meant and froze on the spot looking at the map.

"Master Hongchen Hall, if you look at the problems of the entire continent from a macro perspective, you will sometimes come up with some fantastic ideas."

"Only organizations can fight against organizations. The Sun and Moon Empire cannot defeat three countries, so it will divide and draw together."

"Only by joining forces vertically and horizontally can the weak defeat the strong. By joining forces with the strong, the strong can bully the weak."

Huo Yuhao said with a dark smile: "Here, at the junction of the three kingdoms of Sun, Moon, Heavenly Soul, Star and Luo, a new city will be built, and the construction will be jointly managed by the three kingdoms."

"The largest academy will be set up in the city, which will be jointly run by the three countries. Sun and Moon will send the best teachers here to teach, and then negotiate with Tianhun and Xingluo, whether they want rare metals or advanced soul guidance devices , all agreed to them, Sun and Moon only need to make one condition."

"Ask them to send the recommendation letters originally sent to Shrek here."

"The sooner this strategy is carried out, the better, preferably 4000 years ago."

Jing Hongchen opened his mouth half-open and was speechless.

Huo Yuhao now has an indescribable aura about him. He is no longer a young man who relies on simulations to disguise himself, but has become the true ruler of the Sun and Moon Empire.

If this plan is really implemented, it will be digging into the roots of Shrek Academy.

The Douling Empire is the weakest among the four continental kingdoms. The Sun and Moon Empire will put down its posture and squeeze out the Douling Empire to form a new Three Kingdoms Alliance with Tianhun Xingluo, which will bring massive resources.

If trade is opened up, this junction will definitely surpass Shrek City and become the new trade center of the mainland.

The new academy established on this basis will have both advanced soul guidance technology from the Sun and Moon Empire, as well as soul master talents from Tianhun and Xingluo. The only thing lacking is the accumulation of knowledge and time.

Jing Hongchen quickly came to his senses and immediately discovered many loopholes in this plan: "To put it lightly, doesn't this mean that the foundation of our Sun-Moon Empire is being given to Tianhun and Xingluo for free?"

"After Tianhun and Xingluo learn advanced soul guidance technology, what advantage does our Sun Moon Empire have over them?"

"And how can Tianhun and Xingluo guarantee that the ones they send must be soul masters? Will Shrek Academy just sit back and do nothing?"

"What's more, if the Sun and Moon Empire lost the Holy War 4000 years ago, how could they be willing to cooperate with Tianhun Xingluo to jointly run a school? I think you are just dreaming!"

Facing Jing Hongchen's series of questions, Huo Yuhao innocently spread his hands: "Hall Master Hongchen, you only asked me how to deal with Shrek Academy, but you didn't ask me how to deal with the other three countries."

"If the Sun and Moon Empire had used this strategy 4000 years ago, the influence of Shrek Academy would have been significantly reduced within a thousand years, no, within a hundred years."

"Without the supply of high-quality students, today, 4000 years later, Shrek College may have long been reduced to a second-rate college."

"If you think two allies are too many, just recruit one. Two against two will definitely be a crushing situation."

"You..." Jing Hongchen was speechless for a moment and cursed directly, "Damn it, how dare you entertain this hall master!"

He really wanted to slap Huo Yuhao.

The purpose of dealing with Shrek Academy is to conquer the Three Kingdoms of the Mainland, otherwise why would we deal with them?

In the end, Huo Yuhao's plan was not good. Shrek Academy dealt with it, but Tianhun and Xingluo were strengthened, so wouldn't the result be the same?

Huo Yuhao smiled and seemed to be joking with Jing Hongchen, but he was very serious in his heart.

The junction of Sun Moon, Tianhun and Xingluo is the northern end of the Mingdou Mountains. If this area is filled in and a city is built, it will definitely become the new center of the continent.

If the ancestors of the Sun and Moon Empire 4000 years ago had really thought of a similar strategy and made thorough preparations to slowly divide the three continental kingdoms, the situation on the continent must be completely different now.

Did the Empire of the Sun and Moon divide the Three Kingdoms and encroach on them one by one?

Or will the four kingdoms remain separated, but the Douling Empire gradually weakens?

Or is it because of the development of soul guidance technology that the four countries have established mutual deterrence?

Or maybe the Douluo Continent will eventually form a federal-like government system due to the integration of nationalities resulting from the exchange of supplies?

Nobody knows……

Jing Hongchen had similar thoughts for a moment, and he suddenly wondered whether Huo Yuhao really planned to do this.

If we really want to build such a city, we will definitely face no less resistance than when we established the cabinet.

Besides, how could the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire agree?

Jing Hongchen stopped thinking about it, looked at the time, stood up and said, "It's time for me to go back to Mingde Hall. I've tried my best to let Mr. Wu and Zi Wen take over the matters at Mingde Hall, but I still can't be left without me. "

The position of chief minister of the cabinet already has a lot of things to do, but as the leader of Mingde Hall, he still has a small amount of free time left for Mingde Hall.

"Isn't the reconstruction of Mingde Hall basically completed?" Huo Yuhao raised his eyebrows, "The remaining things are not difficult. Is there anything you can't do without?"

Jing Hongchen frowned and lamented: "It's a research plan. The biggest loss caused by this explosion is not only the damage to the underground base, but also the loss of data for major ongoing research."

"Almost all the major research that invested a lot of manpower and material resources was wasted, which means that everything has to be started from scratch."

Jing Hongchen gritted his teeth, and his heart bleeds every time he thought of this. These are the results of countless days and nights of research in Mingdetang, and the data and finished products have been accumulated after overcoming many difficulties.

Huo Yuhao frowned and said, "Including the No. [-] plan you have been mentioning."

"Yes, but it's far more than that." Jing Hongchen said sadly, "There are also Project No. [-], long-range soul guidance vehicles, new alliances..."

Just when he was counting his family treasures, he saw a sinister smile on the face of Huo Yuhao in front of him, and in his right hand, he was holding a thick stack of manuscript paper, and he was shaking it towards Jing Hongchen in a ostentatious manner.

Jing Hongchen's mind went blank for a moment, and then he pounced on Huo Yuhao like a hungry wolf, reaching out to grab the paper in his hand.

"Give it to me!" He yelled, grabbed a piece of paper and put it in front of his eyes. On it was the special encrypted text of Mingdetang, and the content of the text recorded exactly... Project No. [-]!
This copy is exactly the research record of Project No. [-].

Not only Project [-], but also other experiments and research results that should have been reduced to ashes in the explosion.

"Huo Yuhao, you..."

Jing Hongchen's eyes widened and he looked at Huo Yuhao blankly, his hands began to tremble unconsciously.

Huo Yuhao said gloomily: "Master Hongchen Hall, I am not very honest."

"I like to peek at some confidential documents because I have mental detection skills."

"I'm not satisfied with peeking. I also like to write it down secretly and read it slowly by myself."

Jing Hongchen's expression was very exciting. It was hard to tell whether he was angry, crying or laughing.He covered his face with the manuscript paper in his right hand, and all his expressions were finally condensed into a continuous burst of laughter.

……

Mingde Hall, an underground base.

Ke Ke was raising her proud little chin, humming a cheerful ditty, and carrying two portions of food in her hands.

She passed by a row of experimental tables, and the students who knew her next to her couldn't help but cast a look of envy.

Now Keke is doing great. Her mentor Xuan Ziwen has become a member of the cabinet with a transcendent status after the new emperor succeeded to the throne.

Although his ambition was not in government affairs but in research, and he had almost never been to court, this level of status meant that he had entered the highest authority of the Sun and Moon Empire, and his student Keke also rose with the tide.

Keke can now answer the question "What is it like for a tutor to become an academician during school?"

She walked through the underground base and went straight to the largest experimental area, took out her nameplate and walked in.

There was no one else in the experimental area, except for a woman lying in a daze on the experimental table with her head propped up.

She was no longer wearing luxurious palace clothes, just a plain white coat, her hair had become simple long straight hair, and her eyes under the glasses were lackluster.

Zhong Ling used to be pretty and lovely, but now she has no vitality in her body.

Keke put down the food in her hands and whispered: "Orange, let's eat first. You haven't been out of the experimental area for two days."

"Well, Keke, thank you." Orange responded angrily.

Just as Ke Ke was about to continue saying something, another person walked into the experimental area at this time.

Keke hurriedly said: "Teacher Xuan, are you here?"

Xuan Ziwen glanced at Juzi and said calmly: "Juzi, put aside your grudges. The new emperor is a peacemaker and will soon send an envoy to Xingluo. I'm afraid that during his reign, there will be no more wars. It’s started.”

"From now on, you can do your research here in peace."

Then he stopped caring about Orange and continued to devote himself to his own research.

Orange's whole body felt like he was being electrocuted, and he held his head in silence for a while.

Keke looked at her longingly from the side and advised softly: "Eat the orange quickly. Today we have your favorite shrimp fried eel. It won't taste good if it's cold."

Only then did Orange pick up the chopsticks from the table. His voice was still low, but he could hear a hint of spirit.

"Teacher Xuan, I can make the new engraving for you tonight."

　After careful consideration, I decided to let Orange go. This character can be said to be the most subjective character in the entire Dou Er. It is a tragic abstract collection of bad taste and outrageous plots written by San Shao himself.

　　In fact, if she were to assume this role and write it completely according to the character of the original work, she would never be willing to give up revenge, and she would do something so outrageous that she would be scolded if she wrote it.But I still let her go offline like this, which is a good ending.
