Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 508 The world is in chaos
Originally, some ministers were worried about Li Muyi's succession.

He was worried that Li Muyi was too cruel. After all, he was known for being cruel and tyrannical when he was a prince.

But unexpectedly, after organizing the funeral of the late emperor, it was just after he ascended the throne as emperor.

Li Muyi can be said to be incredibly diligent.

Take the matter of going to court as an example. He actually arrived before hundreds of officials every day.

Moreover, I heard from the eunuchs in the palace that Li Muyi would read memorials in the imperial study room until midnight every night.

And as soon as he took office, he implemented the New Deal and revised all the old laws.

What kind of tyrant is this? He is clearly a sage and wise king, right?
Even when the late emperor was in power, he couldn't do as well as Li Muyi!

Some people belatedly realized that Li Muyi's life experience was the product of the late emperor's drunken passion with a palace maid.

Even if you realize it, this guy spent the first 20 years slandering his reputation to protect himself.

I couldn't help but admire him immediately, this guy is really tolerant!

After becoming the emperor, Li Muyi was completely different from before, which made all the civil and military officials of the Zhou Kingdom look forward to it.

Especially after he came up with the gunpowder formula, he was immediately regarded as the master of ZTE in the Great Zhou Dynasty by countless ministers.

A lot of time has passed now, and all countries know more or less about the specific circumstances of the Battle of Gansu.

Qian Guo was able to defeat the Zhou Jing coalition, and the mysterious gunpowder played a vital role.

Without this thing, Jinlin Pass would have been breached long ago.

And now our Zhou Kingdom also has gunpowder!

The title of the most powerful country in the world belongs to us, Da Zhou!
And as long as we are given some time, we might be able to annex the other three countries and unify the world!

Just today, Li Muyi proposed sending troops to conquer the country. If it had been in the past, many people would have jumped out to oppose it.

But now no one is in a hurry to express their opinions.

Cao Anguo, the Minister of Rites, asked: "Your Majesty, why did you send troops to attack Qianguo for no reason?"

Seeing that everyone was waiting for his answer, Li Muyi chuckled: "If I say it is to avenge previous shame, what do you think?"

Many people fell silent.

Li Muyi said again: "After more than a year and nearly two years of recuperation, although I, Dazhou, have not fully recovered to its peak, the Qian Kingdom was also severely damaged in that battle."

"Now is the time to let the world know that I, the Great Zhou, am still the same Great Zhou as before, the leader of all nations!"

When the generals heard this, their blood boiled with excitement and they immediately asked for orders.

Chen Yunsheng, the Minister of Household Affairs, thought for a while and came out and said: "Your Majesty, Qianguo and Jingguo are close to each other. If we send troops to attack Qianguo, Jingguo may intervene."

"Don't worry, Jingguo himself can't be saved now."

Li Muyi smiled and said: "And we are not attacking Qian State, we are just trapping Qian State so that we cannot support Jing State."

"After Jingguo is destroyed, the remaining Qianguo will be unable to support itself, and naturally it will not be able to achieve much."

The officials looked at Li Muyi dumbfounded. Was Jingguo destroyed?
Which one is this?
Does your Majesty know something?
Someone asked quickly, and Li Muyi did not hide it, but told the story about Jingguo being attacked.

The military generals became even more excited. A middle-aged man stood up and asked for orders: "Your Majesty, please lead the army to attack Gan!"

"Your Majesty, please order me to fight!"

"And the minister!"

Li Muyi closed his sleeves with his hands and watched the generals kneel down to beg for orders. The satisfaction in his heart was indescribable.

This feeling of commanding the world is really addictive. No wonder so many people in this world want to be emperors.

"Don't worry, we all have a share."

Seeing that the generals below were already fighting, Li Muyi spoke at this time.

"Lin Kuohai."

The man who was the first to request the order had a hot look in his eyes: "I'm here!" Li Muyi said calmly: "I order you to be the vanguard and lead an army of [-] to the outside of Youzhou Pass in Qian Kingdom."

Lin Kuohai immediately said: "I obey your order!"

"Wu Xiong."

Li Muyi said: "I order you to be the supervisor of the army."

"Ye Shuangcheng!"

A man who had closed his eyes to rest his mind opened his eyes and looked at Li Muyi: "I'm here!"

Li Muyi: "I order you to be the commander-in-chief of the three armies. In ten days, the army will march to Qian Kingdom!"

Ye Shuangcheng said respectfully: "I obey your order!"

The names of officials one after another were called out by Li Muyi.

Everyone was very excited and determined to defeat Qian Country this time.

Those whose names were not called were a little anxious.

This is the first major event since Li Muyi ascended the throne. If he succeeds, he will undoubtedly become the confidant of the new king in the future. How much more glory and wealth can he have?

"The Ministry of Industry has done its best to supervise the manufacture of gunpowder. Last time the Qianguo people used this thing to beat us, it's time to let them taste the power of gunpowder this time." Li Muyi laughed.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry quickly nodded in agreement.

Zhou Guo also began to make preparations in full swing.

Li Muyi, who went down to court, was accompanied by Xiang'er, who had become a palace maid. When he was about to return to the harem, he saw a beautiful figure standing on the royal road.

The woman holds a jade flute and looks indifferently.

Li Muyi stood still and called respectfully: "Teacher."

Gongsun Yunxiu raised his eyes and said calmly: "Why?"

She had already learned what Li Muyi was going to send troops to attack.

Li Muyi smiled and said, "I don't know what the teacher is talking about."

Gongsun Yunxiu said coldly: "Since you climbed up, you should do your best to think for Zhou State instead of dragging it into the flames of war."

"That's what the teacher taught."

Li Muyi nodded lightly, but changed the subject: "However, I believe that the situation has reached a point and the world is in chaos. It is a good time for a battle to rule the world. A wise king respects etiquette and calms the people, and a wise king expands the territory to strengthen the country."

Li Muyi chuckled: "Being a loyal and virtuous king is not my pursuit."

Gongsun Yunxiu clenched the jade flute in his hand: "Da Zhou cannot afford another failure!"

Li Muyi raised his eyebrows: "Then please wait and see, teacher. In the past, I was the leader of the four northern kingdoms and the pinnacle of the world, but now."

"It will be stronger because of me!"

Watching Li Muyi go away, Gongsun Yunxiu stayed where he was for a long time, sighing softly but unable to leave.

She is the dean of the academy and has a transcendent status in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but in the final analysis she is still just a teacher.

Even if Li Muyi really wanted to go his own way, she couldn't influence his decision.

Looking at the clear sky, Gongsun Yunxiu stepped out of the imperial city. The world was about to be in chaos!
Will Li Muyi be the one who brings order to the chaos?
At least Gongsun Yunxiu doesn't think so.

A person suddenly flashed in his mind, the national master of Qian Kingdom whom he had only met a few times.

Just that brief thought, the other party's literary talent and ambition gave her a great shock.

What the other party said echoed in his mind.

"If you lift up a stone to mend the sky, who can replace me?"

Gongsun Yunxiu murmured: "Could it be you?"
