    It doesn't take more than a year from the time when new soldiers are recruited to become usable soldiers.  And it can only be ordinary soldiers for one year. As for the elite, there is no need to talk about it at all.

    "There are now three secret legions on the Imperial Mountain of the Empire. If we add them all to the battlefield, I believe we can defend it, but it will only be limited to defending the surrounding countries. If some empires join in, the consequences will be hard to say.  ." The prince stood up and said.

    "His Royal Highness is right, this is all we can do now, and the rest can only wait and see what happens." Everyone nodded and agreed with the prince's approach.

    "Impossible. The three legions on the Emperor Mountain are not allowed to join the battlefield. They were secretly trained by the empire. Their existence is to protect the capital. If they all join the battlefield, then if the enemy comes to the capital to cause trouble,  How can we defend?" Li Qiang stood up and objected.

    "Hmph Prime Minister Li, to put it bluntly, with our current border defense strength, we simply cannot defend it. When all the armies are blocked outside the capital, do you think these three legions can defend it?  ?¡±

    Hearing what Li Qiang said, the prince suddenly became angry and retorted loudly.  Everyone looked a little puzzled, why did the prince and Prime Minister Li have a quarrel?  Aren't they the best alliance?

    "Humph" Li Qiang snorted lightly and sat down without speaking.  Watching the quarrel between the two, Zhan Tian held back the joy in his heart and stood up and said: "His Royal Highness and Prime Minister Li are right. We should not only add these legions to the battlefield, but also leave some legions to defend the capital. After all,  The capital is the center of the empire and there is no room for error.¡±

    "Well, this matter has been decided. One of the three legions will be left to defend the capital, and the other two will join in guarding the border. Let Prime Minister Li handle this matter."

    Seeing that the matter had come to a decision, the emperor said lightly.  When everyone saw that the emperor had spoken, they all shut their mouths knowingly, while Prime Minister Li accepted the order with some sadness.

    "What about the recruitment of new soldiers?" the emperor continued to ask.  Recruitment of new soldiers is an urgent matter, and this matter must be carried out as soon as possible.

    "Each legion can recruit on its own. This will allow them to integrate into the legion as quickly as possible and save them the time to adapt in the future." A civilian official stood up and suggested.

    "Isn't this good? Now that the various legions have begun to arrange border protection work, it is obviously not a good idea to ask them to send out troops to recruit new soldiers. Why not let me arrange this matter."

    Li Qiang looked at the prince, then at the emperor, and finally at Zhan Tianfang, stood up with a smile and said.  Recruiting new soldiers is a good job, so of course Li Qiang would take it.

    Zhan Tian and others were about to refute, but the emperor made the final decision: "Since everyone has no objections, let's decide like this. Prime Minister Li has full authority to handle the recruitment of new recruits. We must seize the time to train the new recruits so that they can be trained as soon as possible."  Join the Border Guard."

    Everyone shook their heads after hearing this, no objections?  Have you given time for everyone to give their opinions?  But you can just say this in your heart. This is an order from the emperor. As ministers, no matter how unwilling they are, they can only accept it.

    Listening to the emperor's words, Zhan Tianfang shook his head in his heart and felt endless crisis.  Now that Li Qiang has accepted the recruitment of new soldiers, can the Zhantian side still get recruit resources?

    "How should we deal with the news that our ancestor died in battle?" the emperor asked again.  Everyone was silent as they listened. This matter was really difficult to discuss. The ancestor's weight in the empire was too important.

    The ancestor is the protector of the empire and the former emperor of the empire.  The fact that the empire has come to this point can be said to have been supported by our ancestors.  In the hearts of the people, he is an almighty god.

    "The ancestor was buried, and the whole country mourned for a month." Seeing that everyone was silent, the emperor had no choice but to say something.  Everyone nodded, and the matter was over.  This is a matter for the royal family, and they, as ministers, have no right to speak.

    "Now that the matter has been settled, let's discuss the merits of those soldiers who died in the War of Warcraft." The emperor looked at the people below and said slowly.

    Listening to the emperor's words, Zhan Tian and other five family heads looked at each other, and at the same time stood up and bowed respectfully to the emperor.  Zhan Tian said: "Your Majesty, please allow the five of us to retire from the court and serve as the empire's reserve force to defend the empire."

    "Boom" Everyone suddenly felt like their heads were short-circuited.  The Zhan family and other five families were just promoted to guardian families by their ancestors, and now they actually want to retire?  This shows what?  Dissatisfied with your own power?  Still?Dissatisfaction with the imperial royal family's practices?

    This brief sentence undoubtedly shocked everyone. Even the prince and Li Qiang, who had been against them, looked at Zhan Tian and the five people with disbelief. Why did they do this?

    "Huh do you guys have any objections to me? Now is the time when the empire needs you, but you actually want to retire. The empire has trained you, is this how you repay the empire?"

    The emperor suddenly shouted angrily, but anyone could see that what the emperor said was duplicitous.  The emperor wished they had retreated earlier. They were like fish bones, piercing deeply into the emperor's throat.

    "Your Majesty, we know that the Empire needs us now, but we no longer have the strength to fight and kill the enemy. All we can do is pray for the Empire and hope that the Emperor will grant us permission."

    The five Zhantian people immediately knelt down on one knee, lowered their heads deeply, and said with certainty.  The officials on Zhantian's side were all confused. Is this serious?  The direct descendants of the five families looked at the five family heads in shock.

    "Youyousighlet me think about this matter carefully. You must know that you are all talents of the empire, and I don't want you to withdraw from the battlefield."

    The angry look on the emperor's face kept appearing, but in the end he calmed down, with a hint of joy in his eyes.  They are finally retiring, which is a great thing.

    Everyone listened to the emperor's words, and everyone on Li Qiang's side was ecstatic. For many years, Zhantian's side has been against them, and now that they have retired, then it is not their side that has the final say in this huge empire?

    And what about the Zhantian side?  There was silence in their eyes. Without the support of the five family heads behind them, how could they fight against Li Qiang?  Do you want to surrender to them?

    "Your Majesty, we feel that we are not strong enough, so we ask your Majesty to allow us to return home in honor." After a long time, suddenly most of the officials on the Zhantian side knelt on the ground and asked to retreat.

    This sudden scene shocked everyone present.  The five Zhantians retreated. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was still easy to deal with.  But with so many officials retiring, can the empire still be peaceful?

    "Youyouok, don't you want to retire? Okay, I allow you to retreat, please go away." The emperor looked at the officials who were kneeling below, and he was really angry.

    This kneeling means kneeling down to more than 20 officials. Each of them holds important positions. If they all leave at once, the empire will definitely be paralyzed.  Without other countries attacking, it will fall apart.

    "Your Majesty, please take back your words. This is a time of crisis for the country. If we allow them, we will fall apart."

    Hearing the emperor's angry words, everyone was even more confused.  Is this what the emperor should say?  No matter how angry you are, you can't say such things. You must know the golden words.

    "Humph I have made up my mind. This matter has been decided like this. If anyone pleads for mercy again, he will be thrown directly into the sky prison." The emperor snorted softly, flicked his sleeves, and strode outside with rapid strides.

    The emperor left, leaving behind a room full of dull people.  Both Zhan Tian and Wang Ye were stunned.  The empire is really going to be in chaos, this is what everyone heard in their hearts when they left.

    The huge imperial meeting, which was originally planned to last for seven days, ended in just a few hours.  Except for a few major things, everything else was put on hold.

    After the meeting, the prince and Li Qiang chatted for a whole night at the prince's mansion.  The next morning, Li Qiang hurriedly walked to the palace to see the emperor.
