Chapter 263 The Hidden Family Takes Action
The emperor thought about it for a while and realized that it was too hasty to draw such a conclusion, so he said: "What you said does not make sense. This news is partly speculation and cannot be taken seriously."
The Minister of Revenue and others also echoed. Minister of Revenue Yao Hong was Yao Sisi's father. Yao Sisi had a bad relationship with Lin Qingwan before, and suffered a great loss from Lin Qingwan. Therefore, Yao Sisi and Yao's mother whispered in the ears of Minister of Revenue Yao Hong, making Minister of Revenue Yao Hong, who had never cared about the grudges in the harem, have a stereotype of Lin Qingwan, thinking that she was unlearned, jealous, and a complete loser. He had a preconceived idea and thought that how could he believe the words of a loser?
I wonder how such a wise and powerful King of War could be tempted by a loser?
Lin Qingwan was a little anxious when she heard this. If she didn't take it seriously, if there were really people from the hidden family in the battle, it would be a disaster! Just when Lin Qingwan couldn't help but open her mouth to argue, Jun Moyan's warm big hand was attached to her shoulder. When she turned around, she saw Jun Moyan shaking his head at her.
Lin Qingwan understood, so she didn't say anything to refute. Thinking carefully, everything needs evidence, and she couldn't just let everyone believe that this was true with her words.
However, just because she hadn't considered things carefully didn't mean Jun Mo Ran hadn't thought of anything. As early as when he revealed that there were people from the corpse-driving family who went down the mountain to harm the people, Jun Mo Ran had begun to investigate the matter. But now, there is a clear answer to this matter. Therefore, Jun Mo Ran dared to go to the main hall with Lin Qingwan to ask the emperor to summon the ministers to discuss the matter.
Jun Moyan took a step forward, glanced at everyone, and then said slowly: "This matter, the king has already sent spies to find out clearly, and confirmed that the hermit family has joined. Before that, Wan'er had helped us destroy the corpse-driving family of Nanzhao Kingdom with her own strength. However, in addition to the corpse-driving family, there is also the witch doctor family, and the beast-taming family of the Western Kingdom. The Northern Frontier Shadow Family. These hidden families, at present, have family members who are frequently active outside. We must be on guard."
"Hiss~ All the hermit families are making moves. Before this, they were known as secluded families and had no personnel active outside. Normally, it was even difficult to find their residences. Now, the situation is turbulent, and they have become active." Chen Dongsheng, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, is in charge of all military supplies, which is an indispensable and important position. He was shocked to hear this.
With Jun Moran speaking up to confirm this for Lin Qingwan, everyone believed it without a doubt. Jun Moran must have come to this conclusion after a thorough investigation if he could say this.
The third prince Jun Lingfeng had no doubts at this moment. He stood aside expressionlessly, waiting for orders. His previous rebuttal was also based on his own considerations. Now that his doubts were resolved, he became much quieter. This low-key behavior made Lin Qingwan look at him with a higher opinion. It seems that the third prince is indeed a good candidate. No wonder everyone is optimistic about him.
At the very least, he would not randomly target others for personal grudges. He was able to put the overall situation first, and he was indeed qualified to be looked up to by Lin Qingwan.
"My dear ministers, please be quiet. Now that the matter has been confirmed, let's talk about your solutions. This matter is of great importance, and we must discuss a foolproof plan."
Now that the problem has been clarified, it is time to discuss countermeasures. Of course, special means are needed to deal with the hidden families. Ordinary means are of course not capable of fighting against them.
There was a moment of silence in the hall, as everyone was trying to think of a solution. If they wanted to solve the problem, they had to focus on it first. They thought about the problem from their own perspective.
First, Chen Dongsheng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, spoke first: "Your Majesty, these hidden families have profound cultivation, and ordinary soldiers like us cannot resist them. Of course, we cannot use ordinary weapons to fight against them. If we can develop a batch of weapons specifically targeting them, we are not without a chance of winning."
The importance of weapons is self-evident. Good weapons play an absolutely decisive role on the battlefield. Two people are fighting, a good knife and a bad knife. The bad knife cannot withstand the blow of the good knife. If the weapon is broken, what else can he fight with? Who has a higher chance of winning when fighting with bare hands against a person with a sharp knife? Needless to say, you all know it, right?
"Lord Chen is right. I think so too." General Ji has been on the battlefield for many years and he knows the importance of weapons better than anyone else.
"Okay, this is one of the difficulties. Write it down first and find a way to solve it later. If you have anything else, please continue talking." The emperor sat in the upper chair. Since it was a discussion meeting, all aspects had to be considered carefully.
"Your Majesty, having weapons is not enough. Our soldiers are definitely inferior to the people of the hidden family in terms of combat power. Therefore, it will inevitably consume more combat power to resist. If we can have a group of capable people join us, won't the chance of winning be much greater? The hidden family fights against capable people. Ordinary soldiers fight against ordinary soldiers. This is fair." One of the ministers also expressed his opinion.
"Okay, okay, what you mean is that we should recruit as many talented people as possible to join us, so that our chances of winning will be much greater. This is one way. Write it down and discuss it in detail later." The emperor took note of this point again.
"Your Majesty, this is what I think. This battle is huge in scale. Should we inform the people of the specific situation so that they can unite as one and contribute their efforts? In this way, will the chances of winning be greater?" Yao Hong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, suggested that the people should all join in the fight against the enemy, rather than being idle citizens. In this way, once the army presses in, they don't know what the consequences will be. Based on the point of protecting their own homes, they have no reason to retreat. Those with money contribute money, those without money contribute their efforts, and those with people contribute their people. This is all a form of resistance.
"Okay, okay, Minister Yao advocates a nationwide war of resistance with everyone participating. This is indeed a good idea." The emperor nodded, very much affirming his idea.
The Third Prince was not to be outdone, so he also stood up, bowed and said, "Father, once the battle begins, there will inevitably be a large number of casualties, and a large amount of food and grass supply needs to be solved. Therefore, more doctors must be summoned to the battlefield. The preparation of food and grass also needs to be solved in advance."
"Yes, yes, yes, the Third Prince is indeed a legitimate heir, and he is very thoughtful."
"Yeah, I think so."
"Yes, these basics are forgotten when we are in a hurry."
“…”
A group of people praised the Third Prince's thinking. If it were an ordinary prince, he might have become arrogant. However, the Third Prince Jun Lingfeng was able to take these compliments calmly, without being arrogant or impatient, and did not get carried away by the compliments at all.
The emperor looked at the third prince and saw that he was calm and composed. He was more satisfied. This son had grown more mature and stable, and he could rest assured. He originally wanted to leave the throne to this younger brother who was younger than him, but this younger brother was not interested. Therefore, no matter how he persuaded Jun Mo Ran, he was unmoved. Therefore, he could only give up.
Now, seeing that the third prince has grown up and become more and more outstanding, the emperor finally put down his worries. He has a successor!
