Please Do Not Disturb My Cultivation

As soon as Lin Wengang tore up the agreement, the Qin Group knew about it.

Cao Daman, the boss of the Ming Gang and the leader of the warlords, was furious and yelled at the meeting, demanding that Changshan County be pacified immediately.

All the confidants and generals present at the meeting had almost the same meaning, and the representatives of the major groups also demanded the same, and they also hypocritically expressed that they could provide support.

But Qin Gang knew that they were the main ones fighting.

All the losses caused by the war cannot be made up by aid.

There are also some people who are against it, mainly concentrated on the three governors of the Qin family.

From the perspective of the overall situation, they believed that at this point in time, the Qin Group must not make any outrageous actions, otherwise it would be an attack on others.

The two parties quarreled fiercely, and finally the prince made a compromise proposal:

Send a special envoy to ask the Supreme Council for instructions, wait for the Supreme Council's response, and then wait for the opportunity to act.

Neither side could convince the other, and finally had to accept the proposal.

Therefore, the special envoy of the Qin Group stationed in the imperial capital immediately left for the Emperor's Tower.

At the same time, the Supreme Council also received news that Lin Wen had torn up the armistice agreement and started a war brazenly.

At the request of many elders, senior officials, dignitaries, and powerful families, the Great Elder temporarily added this item to the agenda at the ongoing regular meeting of the Supreme Council.

The authority of this regular meeting is very large, and the highest military department of the empire also participated. The meeting mainly discussed the issue of war.

The battle for oil supremacy with the Sorbian Kingdom.

Battle for dominance of the Baja Grand Canal with the Northern Alliance.

And, the battle to the death with the Papal State.

The war with the Sob Kingdom is in charge of the frontier official Yamashin Takeshi.

At present, the war has not progressed for a long time, and the imperial army is huddled behind the line of defense, and the two sides have formed a stalemate.

Therefore, Takeshi Yamashin was recalled to the Supreme Council for accountability.

This is an old man in his sixties with gray hair but hale and hearty.

He argued hard at the meeting and directly confronted many people who criticized him.

He angrily complained that the Council is a moth of the empire, that Elder Lin Yabo is an old and immortal zombie, that Elder Mosili is a deformed monster, and that the six major regions are the six hills of the empire, and that many governors are the vassals of the empire.

He was full of firepower, unrestrained, and scolded a lot at the summit meeting.

Because his words were too sharp and bold, those people's ears turned red and they were speechless.

Seeing that the momentum was exhausted, Li Longxing immediately asked him to leave the stage.

So, the old man spit out anger, and walked away in a cool and unrestrained manner, leaving behind a lot of chicken feathers, and many people who prepared a stomach full of dirty water without spilling it out to stifle internal injuries.

The battle for the dominance of the Baja Grand Canal is directly in charge of the highest military department, so there is not so much saliva.

The two sides dug deep trenches, built more forts, and built high walls. They waited for the spring to warm up in the coming year and when the ice and snow melted, they would start fighting.

The war with the Papal State fell into a very unfavorable state.

Some time ago, the Papal State requested peace talks. They have done a lot of public opinion work around the world. If the empire does not participate in the peace talks, it will become a criminal who destroys peace.

Although the empire doesn't care, but now is the period of preparation for the intermission of the war. In order to not be so passive in public opinion, the Supreme Council sent a special envoy to Zezhou to participate in the peace talks.

But the entire peace talks were a failure from beginning to end.

Among the requests made by the Papal State, it is impossible for anyone to agree to the one item of "incorporating Zezhou into the territory of the Papal State".

As for the negligible compensation for war losses they proposed, it is ridiculously small, and even the negotiating special envoy is worth more than it.

Negotiations broke down quickly, and the Papal State immediately launched a public opinion campaign that had been prepared.

They are the first to hype the Empire as a breach of peace and the chief culprit of war throughout the world.

Then transfer these news to the domestic market, publicize it among their own people, and beat it up in the news, saying that the empire is tyrannical and impermanent, violating the sacred territory of the Papal State.

Under the triple brainwashing of religion, public opinion, and news, the Papal State once again formed a servant army of 6 million people in addition to a standing army of more than 1.6 million.

According to the intelligence of the empire, the youth population in the Papal State has dropped by at least one-sixth, and the number of deaths due to the war has reached 5 million, which is 30 times that of the empire, and more than 90% of the dead are untouchables.

The death of a large number of people did not cause the social order of the Papal State to collapse, but turned for the better.

Whether it is public security, transportation, health, economic activity and social stability, they are all improving.

Because, scholars in the empire believe that there is a possibility that the Papal State used war to divert domestic conflicts and reduce population pressure, so as to avoid the explosion of its social pressure cooker.

In other words, they use the empire as their pressure relief valve, coalescer, and tool.

Not only that, but it also made the empire extremely passive in world public opinion, and even the country was affected.

It can be said that their purpose was fully achieved.

But just because they did so well, the current anger of the empire is no longer suppressable.

Li Longxing's personal conquest was unanimously approved, and the six regions would send at least one army group to accept the command of His Majesty the Emperor, the central region would send out three army groups, and the Royal Guards would send out four army groups.

However, at this juncture, the news that Lin Wen tore up the armistice agreement and brazenly started a war in Shizhou came back.

The hostile group deliberately controlled the timing of the news transmission, choosing a time to deliver the news at the most united and furious moment in the empire, so that it would appear that Lin Wen was the one who broke the unity.

Then, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries whose interests had been damaged all gathered together to attack Lin Wen, pretending to be excited, and intending to turn him into an image that everyone will criticize.

It has to be said that their style has successfully influenced many originally neutral people.

The Supreme Council also had to take into account the turbulent "public opinion" and added this matter to the agenda of the meeting.

Therefore, after the discussion of the three major battles, the battle of Lin Wen, as the fourth major battle, entered the stage of the highest meeting.

As soon as the agenda started, Lin Yabo, Mo Xili, and Yu Zhongxian proposed the removal of Lin Wen, the governor of Changshan County.

After a fierce quarrel, under the opposition of Li Longxing, the Senate headed by Li Yongsheng, the Dongzhou faction headed by Sheng Huaixuan, and many young and outstanding military officers, the proposal was not passed.

Subsequently, Lin Yabo, Mo Xili, Yu Zhongxian, Cheng Wei, the special envoy representing the supreme commander of the Southwest Region Qin Gang, eleven imperial ministers, and Yang Guozhong, a representative of the National Assembly, proposed to deprive Changshan County of its Jiedu power, military power, and financial power.

Li Longxing directly vetoed Jieduquan's proposal with one vote.

Jieduquan cannot be taken away, and the dual-rights proposal cannot be taken away, which means that all three proposals are abolished by one vote.

Although this is the duty of the imperial power, Li Longxing still has to come out and give an explanation during this great unity.

He very cleverly chose a good rhetoric:

"Changshan County has more than 400,000 formed troops, equipped with Dongfeng missiles, 502 dissolving solvents and other advanced weapons. It has just defeated the state with the largest standing army and the largest reserve army in the empire, which shows its strong combat capabilities. Rushing away Lin Wen's Jiedu power may lead to uncontrollable consequences."

"In this moment of imperial unity, I think it is prudent to proceed and try to keep him around us."

Li Yongsheng also spoke immediately.

"We are the pillars of the empire and the real big men of the empire. We must have a broad mind and noble character. This is what a real imperial noble should look like. We tolerate and tolerate the juniors and actively unite them. It is not cowardice, but strength."

"Let me ask, when a child cries, kicking him away ruthlessly, can you show your strength?"

"Certainly not, that only shows your tyranny and weakness. We are a noble empire, and we are noble imperial people, not the uncivilized barbarians of the Papal State."

Li Yongsheng's speech is very contagious, and with his gestures, body movements and language agitation, it is like a thunderbolt embedded in people's hearts.

That's why he was so influential in the military.

As soon as the words fell, all the officers present applauded enthusiastically, and some people shouted: "Marshal Li, come back!"

"We are all waiting for you!"

The noise lasted for a long time, and when the venue returned to silence, the agenda was on the right track.

The guardian of the empire reported the process and reasons for the breakdown of the negotiations between the two parties in a more notarized manner.

"That is."

Elder Ye Nantian asked suspiciously: "The key difference between them is Changshan County's request to retain the administrative system they implemented in the occupied area?"

"It's an excuse." Lin Yabo said indifferently: "It's a lie pulled out to cover up his insatiable appetite."

Ye Nantian glanced at Chang Chang, who was resting with his eyes closed, silent.

Shizhou has always been his private land, and all the governors of Shizhou have been his people.

But today, his silence seemed strange.

While contemplating, the special envoy of the Qin Group brought new heavy news:

"Changshan County has launched an attack on the regional troops stationed in Shizhou in the Southwest District, and asked the Supreme Council to make a decision."

For a long time that followed, various high-ranking officials and dignitaries attacked Lin Wen again. They tried their best to slander and distort Lin Wen, and frantically smeared Lin Wen, almost pouring ink on him.

However, although they danced happily, Ye Nantian noticed that the four elders all closed their eyes and remained silent.

Li Longxing had even fallen asleep lying on the throne.

The guard commander behind him was racking his brains trying to wake up His Majesty secretly without being noticed.

The mainstay of the Huangpai, Sheng Huaixuan, was discussing something with his confidants in a low voice, and he didn't take these people seriously.

Ye Nantian had a slight realization in his heart, and he no longer joined in. He only responded silently to those who came to encourage him.

After a while, the tide faded away, and the Great Elder directly made a ruling.

The Qin Group, united with Shizhou, fought against Changshan County.

In addition to the troops stationed in Shizhou, the Southwest District shall not send any more troops.

The dark battle is extended, but the time shall not exceed two weeks.

This is followed by an elders vote on the proposal.

Before the elders moved, they saw that the four great elders, and Li Longxing, all voted blue (pass).

These five people reached an agreement, which was the final decision of the empire.

The elders could only abstain from voting one after another.

Proposal passed.

The envoy took a copy of the proposal and bowed away.

The regular meeting ended, and all officials below the elders left.

Soon, only Li Longxing, four great elders, eight elders, Li Yongsheng, the representative of the Senate, Yang Guozhong, the representative of the National Assembly, and several other people from the empire were left on the scene.

The internal meeting officially begins.

This meeting has only one topic:

Yaojing was in turmoil.

This is the real problem.

If Yaojing collapses, the reservoir of the empire will explode, and the side effects of issuing three trillion yuan of currency before the war will explode exponentially.

The consequences of it were catastrophic.

At that time, let alone the emperor leading the army, even the empire is in danger of collapsing.
