I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 682: Ministers' Speculations
The suspense left by Li Zheng made all the civil and military officials very puzzled and confused.

Li Zheng felt a little amused when he saw the civil and military officials who were curious about His Highness.

However, he also knew that it was time to tell all the civil and military officials about the opening of the first-level world portal.

Thinking of this, Li Zheng no longer kept the secret.

Li Zheng stood up and waved to Wang Hao outside the hall.

Wang Hao got Li Zheng's understanding, bowed to Li Zheng from a distance, and slowly retreated.

In fact, Wang Hao was also full of doubts and confusions, but at this time he had no choice but to obey the emperor's instructions seriously.

Amid the puzzled looks of the civil and military officials in the hall, a dozen Tang Dynasty imperial guards directly brought out a huge scroll.

A dozen imperial guards carried the scroll and walked up to Li Zheng.

"Open it."

Li Zheng said lightly.

A dozen imperial guards received the order and slowly opened the scroll.

Presented before everyone in the hall was a large and detailed world map, or rather, the current territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing that everyone was still confused, Li Zheng smiled.

He spoke softly to all the civil and military officials in the court.

"This is the territory of our Great Tang now. The whole world is in my hands. There is no room for the Great Tang to expand in this world. Isn't this disappointing?"

Li Zheng spoke out the current situation of the Tang Dynasty in one breath.

At this time, the Minister of Revenue Qin Jiansheng stepped out and saluted Li Zheng, then spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, although the Tang Dynasty now controls the world, the number of foreign races still accounts for a large proportion, and not all of them are truly loyal to the Tang Dynasty."

Qin Jiansheng glanced at Li Zheng as he spoke, and seeing that he was listening attentively, he continued speaking with confidence.

"I think that the recruitment of soldiers by the Tang Dynasty should not be stopped, and the suppression of resistance around the world should be intensified. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty was founded on military power. Although the world is now unified, the military should not be abandoned."

Qin Jiansheng was the Minister of Revenue and the elder brother of the current Queen Qin Wan'er. His position was so strong that unless he committed the crime of treason, his position would be as stable as Mount Tai.

Qin Jiansheng knew that the reason why Li Zheng continued to recruit soldiers was very simple, that is, he believed that the progress of the Tang Dynasty should not stop yet.

In addition to the current territory, Qin Jiansheng had heard people mention that there were various alien races in the distant overseas islands.

Qin Jiansheng had been interested in these chess pieces since he was a child, but he would never give up because of this. Currently, the military strength of the Tang Dynasty as a whole was still insufficient.

If Li Zheng knew his brother-in-law's true thoughts, he would definitely sneer at them.

Although others don't know this person, Li Zheng knows clearly that the so-called overseas fairy islands are only inhabited by some local natives.

If the Tang Dynasty sent a large number of troops there, it would be completely defeated.

Li Zheng listened to Qin Jiansheng's suggestions quietly and nodded in his heart. Qin Jiansheng's two points of building a country with military force and not letting the military and political affairs of the Tang Dynasty be neglected were deeply appreciated by Li Zheng.

However, Qin Jiansheng's vision is still too narrow, and his attention is still fixed on some small rebellions.

But we can't blame him. Everything he considers is based on his own interests, which is understandable.

I wonder if this father-in-law knew that there was a brand new world waiting for the Tang Dynasty's emperor and his ministers to conquer and occupy, he would not feel short-sighted in his heart.

Li Zheng was looking forward to their reactions.

Thinking of this, Li Zheng spoke.

"Qin Qing, this suppression is one part of the solution, but I have a newer and better goal."

At this point, Li Zheng's heart was already a little excited. For those Chinese people who have been bullied by the Tartars, I am coming with the Heavenly Army of my Great Tang.

I wonder if the Tartars are ready? Thinking of this, Li Zheng clapped his hands again towards the outside of the palace.

A moment later, Liu Sheng and the imperial guards brought a huge scroll to the hall.

Seeing this, Li Zheng didn't waste any words and raised his hand to let Liu Sheng unfold the scroll again.

Liu Sheng said little. After receiving Li Zheng's signal, he slowly opened the scroll in front of all the civil and military officials in the court and Li Zheng.

Seeing the huge scroll unfolding in front of them, the civil and military officials in the hall were in an uproar and were extremely confused.

Because the scroll was completely blank! There was nothing on it.

Looking at the surprise on everyone's faces, Li Zheng smiled slightly and had no intention of explaining to them.

Just the next moment.

Li Zheng raised his hand and waved it in the air.

With the support of Li Zheng's peak Grandmaster strength, the powerful true energy transformed into sharp sword energy.

The sword energy seemed to have its own consciousness, and it slowly carved four large words on the blank scroll.

Li Zheng seemed to be able to perform this unique skill with ease. After all, he was already the strongest man in the Tang Dynasty, and manipulating sword energy was just a small trick for him.

All the civil and military officials in the court looked at it with some curiosity.

The four big characters "Lu Ding World" appeared on the huge scroll.

All the civil and military officials in the court were confused when they saw this big word.

Everyone turned their inquiring eyes to Li Zheng, hoping to get an explanation from him.

But Li Zheng had an unfathomable expression, which made it clear that he wanted the civil and military ministers and the pillars of the country to guess.

In the main hall of Taiji Temple, everyone saw that Li Zheng was unreliable and began to speculate.

First, everyone started to interpret this strange name.

"Deer. Ancient books once recorded that when Qin lost its deer, the whole country chased it."

An old scholar who was over fifty years old spoke up to explain to everyone. Seeing that he had attracted the attention of everyone including Li Zheng, the old scholar spoke again.

"Ding means to challenge the Central Plains, so this Lu Ding world should refer to a world where princes fight for supremacy."

After the old scholar finished speaking, he bowed to everyone around him with some pride and then retreated.

But as soon as he dared to step down, another famous scholar in the court and the country also stood up.

"In my opinion, Lu Ji is a deer and Ding Ji is a tripod. They may just be the names of mountains or rivers in that world. It's nonsense to talk about stabilizing the world. This world can only belong to the emperor."

The old scholar said this while respectfully clasping his fist towards Li Zheng.

The two Confucian scholars usually did not get along well with each other, so when they had this opportunity, they both started throwing dirty water at each other.

A good guess turned into a verbal fight between the two. Li Zheng immediately stopped them and asked them to leave.

Afterwards, Li Zheng stopped keeping the secret.

He spoke directly to the civil and military officials in the hall.

"This Lu Ding world is a different world that my Tang Dynasty is about to attack."

As soon as Li Zheng finished speaking, the hall exploded.

Li Zheng ignored everyone's reactions and continued speaking.

"This is a world beyond the control of the Tang Dynasty. It is a new journey for the Tang Dynasty."
