Chapter 2183 Something happened again
Imperial Master Shuangye pondered over this sentence, and then further confirmed: "The Thousand Eye Cave was destroyed, but the Emperor didn't know about it?"
"At least not on the surface."
In other words, the Heavenly Palace did not inform Lingxu City about the establishment of the Thousand Eye Cave experimental site.
The Demon Emperor may not know, or he may know, but he has never communicated with the Heavenly Palace about this.
Therefore, it would be inappropriate to blatantly use the destruction of the Thousand Eye Cave as an excuse to expand the war at this time.
This is called unspeakable pain.
But the gods cannot just sit there and swallow such a huge loss.
The wrath of an emperor results in bloodshed; then, what about the wrath of a god?
Of course it should be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
Shuang Ye nodded slowly: "I understand."
Because of the battle of Muya, the Heavenly Palace, which represents the will of the gods, has repeatedly negotiated with the Lingxu Royal Court over the past six months. The gods hope that Beijia will increase the intensity of the attack, which is contrary to the will of the Demon Emperor. Not only are there frequent frictions, but Beijia's military deployments are always loud but ineffective, which is not as good as the gods' wishes.
As the head of the imperial preceptors who holds real power, Shuangye naturally has to mediate and implement the will of the gods to the greatest extent possible.
"Please ask the Imperial Master to urge the Lingxu Royal Court to inflict heavy damage on the Mou Kingdom!" Envoy Du Yun said clearly, "The Mou Kingdom suddenly destroyed the Ya Kingdom, and Beijia was caught off guard. The gods were originally very unhappy, because this outcome could have been completely avoided."
If Beiga had intensified its attack on Mou State early on, how would Mou State have had the energy to annex Ya State?
In the eyes of the gods, the reason why this irreparable mistake occurred was that Lingxu City did not do its best and was pretending to obey.
The majesty of the gods has been challenged, so this time they must increase pressure on Lingxu City.
"The legendary 'Qingzhe' period has arrived. It is indeed time to do something." Imperial Master Shuangye pondered, "Then, we need a suitable opportunity."
Even though he is the national teacher, he cannot ask the Demon Emperor to send troops out of thin air.
"What kind of opportunity?" Du Yun, the leader, felt a little regretful. "The war between Mou and Ya has already ended."
In his opinion, he also felt that the Demon Emperor had done little during the Muya War.
"The Muya War is over, and Bega has lost face. Now, not only the royal court, but also most of the vassal demon countries are excited and advocate war." Shuang Ye said slowly, "What we need now is a reason to send troops to fight."
The two discussed for a while, and then Shuangye retreated from Xushan.
He did not even turn his head. Du Yun saw him walking alone in the bright moonlight, with a ferocious shadow dragging behind him.
……
There were two loud thunders in the sky, followed by heavy rain.
It was now the hour of Xu, and the night was as dark as ink. Du Shan, holding a plate of mung bean cakes, walked to the eaves of Canglan Terrace to look at the bright lights of Ju City, feeling a little emotional.
In just two years, the area of Jucheng has doubled. It is bustling with people and cars during the day and brightly lit on rainy nights. It has become the most prosperous place east of Mou State and the most important economic hub of the Golden Plains. Business and logistics flow continuously for twelve hours a day.
Cang Yan has planned more than a dozen large cities in the Shining Golden Plains, but their development progress is uneven and none of them can catch up with the development of the capital.
The Observatory where Du Shan was located was the original building of the Chixiao Golden Palace. Even the signboard had not been changed. It was very close to the imperial study, but it was actually a famous scenic spot in the Huanzong. Standing in the Observatory, one could see the rippling blue waves of the Upside-Down Sea. Now that the Chixiao Golden Palace has become Cang Yan's palace, the Observatory's location is still prominent, but it has become a place where ministers take turns to stand guard at night.
Every night, the work is divided into two shifts, with the end of midnight as the dividing line, in order to deal with emergencies.
There is a saying that Emperor Jiuyou wants his subjects to be able to see the people's livelihood even if they are in the deep palace.
There were still two hours before the end of the work day. Du Shan had already finished his government affairs, so he took a break and ate something.
The emperor perfected the Canglantai system three months ago. Canglantai is headed by the left and right prime ministers. Du Shan is still the left prime minister, in charge of international diplomacy, and Lv Qiuwei is the right prime minister, in charge of domestic livelihood, with a term of three years.
After three years, the emperor will evaluate and re-employ or select a new person. If the prime minister makes a serious mistake within three years, the emperor will personally replace him.
Obviously, the Great Emperor Jiuyou borrowed the Futaige system from the Mou Kingdom and made corresponding changes. After all, the national conditions of Cangyan are different from those of the Mou Kingdom, but this part of its system is beneficial to He Lingchuan's future plans.
After the responsibilities were clearly divided, Du Shan's workload dropped dramatically and he felt much more relaxed.
But just as he picked up the second piece of mung bean cake, the guards outside rushed in to salute, holding a document over their heads with both hands:
"Prime Minister Du, Yangshan is here to report."
This is an orange-headed document.
Orange represents important matters, and red represents extremely urgent matters.
Du Shan opened it casually and took a look, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
He ate the mung bean cake in one gulp and put the plate aside. "Hold the umbrella and go see the emperor!"
He Lingchuan had nothing to do tonight, so he practiced in seclusion. When he heard that the prime minister wanted to see him, he finished his practice and got up.
Recently, Cang Yan's external environment has been stable. Although internal affairs are complicated, there are no major disasters, and state affairs can still run normally and stably. He can also spend more time on his own cultivation.
The Demon Emperor and the Mou Emperor both like to use the trusteeship method to handle state affairs because they want to continue their own cultivation.
Du Shan hurried in and handed the letter to the desk: "Emperor, this is an urgent letter from Prince Chiyan. Something happened in the waters of Mou State."
"The waters of Mou State?" He Lingchuan flipped through it casually and was shocked.
Only four days had passed since the Mou army conquered the capital of Ya State, and Fu Shanyue sent him the first-hand news:
A fleet of Bega transporting troops and supplies was attacked outside the waters of Ta Island in Mou State and was almost wiped out.
Throughout the Mu-Ya War, Bejia had been supplying supplies and combat power to Ya. However, due to the poor geographical location of Ya, which was located in the rear of Mu, the fleet sent by Bejia had to bypass the entire Mu sea area to supply Ya.
This causes two problems: one is that it is not timely, and the other is that it is risky.
Yadu was destroyed by Mou's army, and Bega's warships were still heading there slowly, and it would take another ten days or so to reach the Yangshan Islands.
Needless to say, the risks are great. Shipping itself is full of unknowns, as evidenced by the numerous shipwrecks in the waters of the Yangshan Islands.
What's more, the Mou State strictly patrolled the ports along the way and would never allow the Beijia military ships to dock.
Therefore, Bega's warships could only sail away from the coastline of Mou State. On two occasions, because they were too close, there were frictions and conflicts between the two sides, resulting in dozens of casualties.
Also, because Bejia was sending support to Ya State, it could only stop and resupply in Yangshan Islands, so Mou State once had its eyes on Yangshan Islands.
Originally it was a thorn in the side of Mou State, and later it increased the difficulty of Mou State's attack on Ya State. Mou State really wanted to send troops again to wipe it out.
