"My lord, the civil strife in various places has been quelled, and the dynasty has returned to peace. However, the troops in the four directions are insufficient, especially the southern border. If the Murong Dynasty takes the opportunity to invade, the southern troops may be difficult to defend!"
Cangming Palace, civil and military officials gathered in the main hall of the early court, the old Taiwei Chen Ye, with a solemn expression, bowed solemnly to Li Cangming on the throne and said.
"Just pay more attention to the northern border. The Murong Dynasty is too busy to take care of itself now, so there is no need to worry about the south."
Li Cangming waved his hand slightly, looking at the officials in the hall with a complicated expression on his face.
?The last time he lost the battle against the Daxia Dynasty, Cangming's 7 million troops died on the battlefield. In addition, he was captured in the Daxia Palace.
? Although Prince Li Canghai was temporarily in charge of the government, he was restrained everywhere. Coupled with the intervention of the Great Wu Dynasty, the Cangming Dynasty had frequent internal wars.
Aristocratic families and sects from all over the world occupied cities to disturb the people, openly resisted the imperial government's control, and some rebels even made rebellions in an attempt to overthrow the Cangming regime.
Form is at stake!
After returning to the palace, he regained control of the court, and after a lot of painstaking efforts, he finally calmed down the civil strife and stabilized the situation.
But thinking of the agreement with Daxia, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
No matter how much you do, it is still a dowry for others
But whenever he thinks of Daxia's strength and everything that happened during this period, Li Cangming can't even raise the thought of resistance.
The previous three dynasties could not win together, let alone the crumbling Cangming Dynasty with its strength greatly reduced.
Even the troops to quell the civil strife were mostly borrowed from Han Xin, the head of the Great Han Legion of the Great Xia Dynasty.
If it weren't for the suppression of the soldiers and cavalry of the Han Dynasty, and the old, weak, sick and disabled left in the Cangming Dynasty, I am afraid that the Cangming Palace has already been trampled down by the ambitious families and sects everywhere!
Li Cangming slowly glanced at the group of officials, looking at the resplendent early court hall, his heart was extremely complicated.
I don't know how long this country can still belong to Cangming
"Father, although the situation in the court has temporarily stabilized and the chaos in the four directions has been quelled, but the border area is our court's defense line, why doesn't the father pay attention to it?"
At this time, Li Canghai, the prince next to him, saw Li Cangming's worried face, frowning slightly, feeling a little puzzled.
Hearing this, all the ministers in the hall also looked at Li Cangming with puzzled expressions.
The decline of the Cangming Dynasty to its current state was almost entirely due to the Great Xia Dynasty, because Li Cangming misjudged the strength of the Great Xia and attacked rashly, which led to the decline of Cangming and frequent wars.
But after Li Cangming came back, although he immediately started to quell the civil strife in Cangming and stabilize the court, he didn't care about the border areas, and he didn't seem to worry about Da Xia's revenge at all.
This operation not only puzzled Li Canghai, but also the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were extremely puzzled.
They knew that Li Cangming should have been rescued by an expert, but at the moment the Cangming Dynasty's military strength was running low, and with the recent civil strife, it had long since lost its previous strength.
Not to mention Great Xia, even if any dynasty in the surrounding area takes the opportunity to attack, the Cangming Dynasty will undoubtedly be defeated!
Needless to say, the fate of the defeat can be imagined!
Li Cangming's move is too procrastinating!
From their point of view, Li Cangming just felt that the Cangming Dynasty had great power to sit in power now, and it was a bit floating!
Yes!
Everyone believed that Li Cangming was able to come back because he was rescued by an expert.
That is the person who beheaded the three powerhouses of the Dawu Dynasty outside the Cangming Palace last time!
The domineering and fierce sword glow that day was deeply engraved in everyone's minds!
Although I don't know the relationship between that person and Li Cangming, why he helped the Cangming dynasty, but the battle of the dynasty cannot be resolved by one's own strength.
Although there is no news from the border at the moment, and the dynasties in Cangzhou seem to be extremely calm, but after seeing the strength of the Daxia army, the sense of crisis among civil and military officials has not been relieved, and they are still very worried.
Not only worried that the Great Xia Dynasty would attack suddenly, but also worried that the neighboring Murong Dynasty would take the opportunity to attack.
Moreover, Cangming offended the Dawu Dynasty at the moment because of beheading the Dawu strong man.
If the Dawu Dynasty also intervened in this matter privately, and sent some strong men here, the Cangming Dynasty would not be able to stop it, and their demise would be imminent!
On the throne.
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Li Cangming sighed deeply in his heart, and the bitterness at the corner of his mouth became even more intense.
He naturally knows what everyone thinks.
Although he has reached a cooperation with Qin Wuhen and is determined to help him recover Cangming, he knows that this matter cannot be decided by him alone, and he has to figure it out slowly.
If after taking control of the court and then directly ordering to submit to Daxia, not only will it not be satisfactory, but if one is not good, I am afraid that the entire Cangming Dynasty will immediately fall apart!
This is not the result he wanted.
In the first month of Daxia, he knew very well the horror of Daxia. Even if he did not cooperate with King Xia, with Daxia's current strength, it would not be difficult to directly attack Cangming.
But in that case, the Cangming Dynasty may have to die more people.
Having been king for hundreds of years, he also has feelings for this dynasty and the people of this country.
He didn't want to look at the people of the DPRK and make unnecessary sacrifices.
So that day, he did not reveal the identities of Han Xin and Li Si, nor did he explain to everyone.
After taking control of the court, he took the lead in controlling the intelligence information in the court. Until now, except for some cities near the border, everyone in Cangming, including many ministers in the court, did not know the situation outside, and even Murong's army It is still unclear about the defeat of the army and the destruction of the country.
And some cities near the border are also under Han Xin's control, everyone is kept in the dark, and naturally they don't know his agreement with Daxia.
During this period of time, with the help of Han Xin, while quelling the civil strife in Cangming, he also controlled the intelligence system of the Cangming Dynasty, completely controlling the entire Cangming Dynasty.
Just wait for King Xia's order to come, and he will announce his surrender to Daxia.
By then, Great Xia will be able to control Cangming without a single soldier, and the Cangming Dynasty will no longer have innocent people die tragically.
This is his plan.
Unfortunately, no one understands his painstaking efforts
Sighing from the bottom of his heart, Li Cangming regained his composure, looked at the crowd, waved his hand and said, "I have my own opinion on this matter, let's retreat."
Hearing this, the doubts in everyone's eyes became more intense, but seeing Li Cangming's expression, they could only suppress their incomprehension, and bowed their hands in agreement.
Li Canghai also frowned, hesitant to speak, but facing Li Cangming's unquestionable gaze, he could only suppress his doubts, and bowed helplessly: "Yes, I will leave!"
"Report~!"
Sudden! At this moment, a messenger guard hurriedly entered the hall, his face was flustered, and he knelt down on one knee towards Li Cangming on the throne.
"Your Majesty Your Majesty, the guards outside the city rioted, and the general led troops to surround the palace!"
"What what?!"
All civil and military officials were shocked! They all stopped in their tracks, then turned to look at Li Cangming.
The general was the black-armored general who beheaded the three powerful men of the Dawu Dynasty outside the palace last time.
After returning to the palace, Li Cangming directly named him a general, the highest officer of Cangming's military department, commanding Cangming's troops, and temporarily responsible for the safety of the palace.
But everyone was puzzled why this happened at this moment!
Why did the general surround the palace with his troops, trying to plot rebellion? !
Only Li Cangming has a calm face, but there is indeed a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.
