Chapter 258 Chapter 259

Canglan King City.

Minister of War, residence.

More than ten days passed in a flash.

After Ye Fan took over the Ministry of War, he began to rectify the Ministry of War.

In the last case of rebellion in the Golden Palace, as many as 17 officials from the Ministry of War followed the former Minister of War Rui Liangzhi and the second prince to rebel, which became the hardest hit area of ​​the rebellion. A large number of officials from the Ministry of War were dismissed and investigated.

In this palace examination, seven or eight Wuhous were added to the Ministry of War as deputy positions, and the Ministry of War was completely controlled.

As time passed, disasters in various parts of Canglan Country also reported to the royal city one after another, becoming the top priority in the court.

The situation was even worse than expected. A small city with a population of hundreds of thousands was directly destroyed by the Leixing meteorite, and almost no one survived. More than ten cities were seriously affected, with millions of houses collapsed, millions of households affected, hundreds of thousands of injured, and a large number of fertile fields were burned in the fires and various disasters. Half of the counties in Canglan were affected, and the refugees had reached millions.

These naturally include the monarch and the Ministry of Revenue to provide disaster relief, and the transfer of food from the treasury and county governments to stabilize the victims, without the need for Ye Fan to worry about it.

But there is something worse happening.

The Green Wolf tribe in the Scarlet Sun Mountains also seemed to have suffered from the Meteorites of Leixing and was ready to invade the major counties in the border areas of Canglan Country. More than tens of major conflicts have occurred, killing and injuring thousands of people.

In addition, there were also a large number of disaster victims in the surrounding vassal states, and the number of bandits and bandits in various places increased in a large number, and frictions and fights occurred in various parts of the border of Canglan Kingdom.

The relationship between Canglan Kingdom and the vassal states next to it is not very good, and disputes occur from time to time.

These things are all related to the Ministry of War.

After these things were reported to the royal city, the king wanted to take the initiative to start a war against the scorching green wolf tribe and sent a large army of 100,000 cavalry to encircle and suppress the green wolf tribe.

However, many ministers in the court were excitedly opposed.

In order to provide disaster relief, the national treasury has consumed a lot of materials and financial resources, and will consume more in the future, and the national strength will be exhausted.

If a large number of troops were launched to encircle and suppress the Qinglang tribe, the large army would be even more costly.

The king had no choice but to order the whole country to be on strict alert to prevent the Green Wolf tribe from attacking the border cities.

Ye Fan took the military information from various places and pondered how to mobilize troops and strengthen the garrison forces of various cities on the border.

Although the elite soldiers of Canglan Kingdom had hundreds of thousands, of which 100,000 imperial guards guarded the royal city, 100,000 elite cavalry guarded the Chongcheng near the Scare Mountains, 30,000 town navy was in Donglai County, and the top ten counties had tens of thousands of troops.

Although there are a large number of total numbers, they all have responsibilities. There are actually not many soldiers who can mobilize a large number of troops. They can only squeeze out some troops from each city of the ten counties and enrich them to the border city.

"Brother Ye Fan!"

A familiar and lively laughter came from outside the gate of the Ministry of War.

Ye Fan couldn't help but look up when he heard the sound and saw a beautiful young figure walking into the hall. He couldn't help but look warm and smiled: "Yu'er, I haven't seen you for more than ten days. You have broken through the realm of Wuhou!"

"That's it! With Brother Ye Fan's martial soul awakening pill, coupled with Sister Bing and Youwen's guardians, I will naturally be able to successfully break through to Wuhou. I just became Wuhou yesterday, and I came to report the good news early this morning! Brother Ye Fan became the Minister of War in the blink of an eye. Are you very busy now?"

Qin Yuer walked into the hall with a smile and looked at the government affairs hall of the Minister of War.

"It's all trivial matters, not busy."

However, if there is only one prince, it is easy to choose.

It's two.

The performance of the two princes was so "excellent", which made the ministers very embarrassed, and they didn't know who to support. .

One day.

The king summoned Ye Fan into the palace and asked about the recent military information of the counties in Canglan Kingdom.

After the reward was over, Ye Fan was about to leave.

The king suddenly asked indifferently, "Ye Qing, what do you think of all the princes?"

"this."

Ye Fan's expression had not changed. He had expected that the king would ask him about the prince. However, he didn't know how to answer.

The king waved his hand and shook his head and sighed, "I know the best of these sons of my king. When it comes to fighting for power and power, the two, three and five princes are just the same, but if they really want to ascend to the throne, they are afraid that they will change their faces immediately and reveal their nature. The most capable one is the second one. Unfortunately, he didn't have the patience to wait for another fifty years, and he dared to use poison to harm me, which shows how vicious his heart is.

The remaining princes, from the sixth to the thirteenth princes, were all stupid, greedy, lustful and lustful. The worst thirteenth prince, was flirting with flowers and was timid and cowardly, almost like a pig.

You have many ideas and can see far. No matter what you say, I won’t care.”

Ye Fan also smiled bitterly when he heard this.

The king still knew very well in his heart that there were almost no one suitable for being a king among his sons. But would the king let the royal family ascend the throne?

I guess I can't even think about it.

Among the royal branches, Ling Qingshan, the best young generation, has reached the realm of Wuhou, has a calm and down-to-earth work, and has a character far superior to the monarch's sons. He has no bad comments. If he can become the monarch of Canglan, he will be more or less a virtuous king.

But Ling Qingshan had been sent directly to Donglai County by the king and took a large number of sea boats to sea to purchase grain. I am afraid that he would not be able to return in less than half a year. When Ling Qingshan came back, it was estimated that the new king had ascended the throne and nothing was wrong with him.

Ye Fan didn't know whether the king did this without intention or intentionally. But since even Ling Qingshan, the youngest and most outstanding branch of the royal family, had no chance, the other branch did not consider the value.

"Your Majesty. If you really can't choose the best, then choose the most harmless one. It is also an idea to take the least one of the two powers."

Ye Fan thought for a while and bowed.

"Oh! Choose harmless? How to choose?"

The king was slightly stunned.

"Those who were in the Golden Palace that day, I saw that the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince also had the idea of ​​usurping the throne, but they were weak, so they deliberately let the Second Prince beat him up. They hid behind and didn't have time to take action. Choosing them is no different from choosing the Second Prince.

It will be a matter of time before these two men ascended the throne. Their mansion has long raised a large number of confidants. Once they ascended the throne, the court will soon change their trusted direct descendants, and the ministers will not be able to stay in the court.

If Your Majesty asks me who is the most suitable for being the prince? I think that in comparison, the most harmless Thirteenth Prince may be the most suitable candidate."

Ye Fan said in a slight and silence.

"Hmph, Lao Shisan, a lustful but cowardly, useless waste, except for relying on his own as the prince to show off in various places?! If this king passes the throne to him, it will be afraid that it will completely destroy Canglan Kingdom in a few years."

The king said very disdainfully.

"Your Majesty, you forgot that you have a girl, Jiaojiao Princess. Her wisdom and courage are far more than other princes. Although she is a little more spoiled, it does not harm the national body! Moreover, she has become much more mature and sensible over the past year, so she can make her the Regent!

The Thirteenth Master is incompetent and cowardly, which just allows Princess Jiaojiao to gain a foothold in the court. If there are a group of ministers supporting the princess’ regent, then everything in the Canglan State court will be stable and there will be no worries in the next one or two hundred years.”

Ye Fan finally said the key sentence.

The king's body suddenly shook, his eyes shone brightly, his mouth widened, and he looked at Ye Fan in disbelief.

He never considered such an arrangement to make the Thirteenth Old ascend the throne and to make Ling Jiaojiao the Regent. But... this was indeed an arrangement that made him feel almost perfect.

Since he was seriously ill last year, Ling Jiaojiao and the Queen have been maintaining the situation in the court in the past year. It was just because of the second prince's obstruction that the queen and Ling Jiaojiao did nothing. But if they can have a good personality, Jiaojiao is obviously above all the princes.

"Let's go down first, I'm considering it!"
