The domestic situation has been completely stabilized due to the appearance of the empress dowager. After a long time of paralysis, the country's huge machine started to rumble again. As the second largest country in the world, the power hidden underwater of Chu began to surface one by one. The entire country was mobilized again after decades.

Wen has a beginning, and martial arts are orderly.

The grain depots in various places were opened one by one, and the war taxes levied continuously flowed to the national treasury. The young and powerful recruited troops and drove into the war zone one by one. The first batch of reinforcements were about to arrive in Jinghu. The Western Army transferred from the west had already set off for more than half a month. It seemed that the State of Chu had made all preparations, and Min Ruoxi didn't need to worry about anything anymore.

But this is not what Min Ruoying wants.

The national mobilization and wartime system will only have one result, that is, all power is concentrated on the military side. As the chief minister, Ma Xiangdong, in this system, is only an auxiliary staff and a logistics steward of the head of the army. According to the decree issued by the court, who is this military head? It is Chengwuben.

It is the person Min Ruoying is thinking about cutting it off now.

And this person's strength is increasing every day.

Is it impossible to immediately order the Chinese government to end the wartime system? First, the two countries of Qi are still in a state of war. Even if the Qi people are facing internal problems, Min Ruoying is very clear that extinguishing internal rebellion is not a problem for the Qi people. The Qi people's blade was not taken back, and it is necessary to mobilize the whole country's war. Second, as a huge country, once you do something with all your might, it will be with great inertia, and you can't turn back if you want to turn back. Third, this decree was issued by the Queen Mother. As a son, Min Ruoying could not immediately deny all this as soon as he returned to the country. This was a naked slap in the face of the empress dowager and said that you were wrong with your family. But was it really wrong? Under the circumstances at that time, it was naturally good. Since it was good, why should it be abolished? What was the emperor thinking?

As long as someone thinks about these issues, they will immediately contact Cheng Wu himself, and they will think that the emperor will be dealing with Cheng Wu's business.

Once this problem is revealed to the world, the State of Chu will be afraid that civil strife will immediately begin. Not to mention Cheng Wuben's reaction, but the hearts of the people in the country alone will have big problems. Now, a wartime system has finally gathered the hearts of the State of Chu together. Once this tone dissipates, it is not an easy task to gather again.

"Cheng Wuben was so irritable for a moment." After thinking about it, Luo Liang came to this conclusion. According to their original intention, as soon as they returned to China, they would have to deal with Cheng Wuben. The 40,000 Fire Phoenix Army was their reliance, but when they returned to the country, they found that everything had changed a lot. "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's imperial edict was issued to the world, and he could only draw opportunities in the future. As long as he survived this period of time and resolved the crisis between Qi and Chu, he would naturally be able to form a quick wartime control state and return to the normal system. At that time, the opportunity would naturally come. Moreover, it was not so eye-catching."

Min Ruoying gritted her teeth, but she had to admit that everything Luo Liang said was true. Now that Cheng Wuben has been involved, I am afraid that it will cause unexpected disasters and a complete collapse may be possible.

During this day, he kept watching the palace report sent by the court to Yuquan. The final conclusion he came to was reversed from his sister's return to Shangjing City.

From the time she arrived in Shangjing, everything she did was to strengthen Chengwuben's power and strength. On the surface, all this was for the sake of Chu State, but in fact, it put herself, the emperor in an extremely embarrassing situation.

"I really have a good sister!" He clenched his fists tightly, and was very angry.

Luo Liang also remained silent. At this point, why didn't they understand that the battle between Qi and Chu was purely a big pit. The Qi and Ming people joined forces to do a big show, luring Da Chu into the head, and then losing troops and generals, almost without anything. The final result of this big show was that Chu State lost almost all the eastern border troops, Kunling Pass and the six eastern counties, while Ming State took back the three counties of Wuling, Taoyuan and Yiyang that they had lost several years ago from Qi State, and pushed the border with Qi State back to the side of Zhaoguan. More importantly, in order to deal with Chu State, Qi State transferred almost all their troops to the east, and there was almost no defense on the other side of the Ming State.

Ming Qi each had something to gain, but he only cheated Da Chu.

At the last moment of the war, Ming State jumped out to be a good person. First, he sent troops in Zhaoguan to harass Qi territory, and then helped Wu Teng take down Lingchuan in the northwest, allowing Wu Teng to go deep into the northwest of Qi and share the pressure on the main battlefield. These actions made the Chu State unanimously believe that Ming State is really a country of in-laws and is really a friend.

But this friend is indeed a bastard who calls his brother in person and touches the guy behind his back.

But can all this be explained to the people? If you can't make it clear, isn't it just a slap in the face by yourself, and you say that you are a big fool and have been deceived by others? Then what prestige can the emperor have and what face is there?

If someone digs a hole, you will jump down stupidly?

"Your Majesty, Princess Zhaohua is the queen of the Ming Kingdom after all, and some things may not be willing to do so." Luo Liang could only persuade him. He could not say that Princess Zhaohua was a big bad guy. Min Ruoying could say these words, but he could not say them.

"What's not willing? Hehe, you can guess what he is going to do when she looks at her actions in the capital!" Min Ruoying said viciously: "Have Yang Qing not come back yet?"

Yang Qing returned to China secretly in advance. He was originally planning to deal with Cheng Wuben's matter, but now, this matter can only be postponed.

"There is no news yet, but things have already been done, and he may soon come back." Luo Liang said: "Your Majesty, Pang Jun and others are afraid they can only be released first."

"What Pang Jun?" Min Ruoying asked.

"It was the officers who came from the eastern border army to help Chen Du guard the city." Luo Liang explained: "After Luo Hu entered the city, he took them in custody. When Chen Du came to Jin to meet His Majesty earlier, he still pleaded with His Majesty. Since he couldn't treat Cheng Wuben now, it would be better to let these people go. It's also considered selling Chen Du a favor."

"A few little shrimps, just put them away. But do you think Chen Du can trust him? Will he have defected to Cheng Wuben?" Min Ruoying said.

"This should not be." Luo Liang said, "This man is an orthodox official, and his loyalty to His Majesty should be fine. What's more, he now has nearly 20,000 soldiers, so His Majesty should also capture it."

"I'm right. According to Luo Hu, except for those thousands of county soldiers, the remaining soldiers were recruited from refugees in the six eastern counties. These people are now destroyed and hate the people of Qi. They have trained to have some foundation. It won't take long to become a good army and should indeed be held in their hands." Min Ruoying said: "Since Chen Du spoke, let those people go and let him go back to Chengwuben and don't be upset in front of me."

Min Ruoying was quite depressed.

The current situation is no longer possible. If you want to deal with Cheng Wuben, you must wait for him to return to the capital, and then end the wartime control state first, take the power back from Cheng Wuben step by step, and then find ways to reduce the strength in Cheng Wuben's hands. When the time is ripe, it will probably take several years of effort. And will Cheng Wuben stand by?

Of course it is impossible. Min Ruoying did not think that Cheng Wuben would be able to recall him with an edict a few years ago. At that time, the power of the late emperor was still there. Now he lost the battle. Cheng Wuben, a person who strongly opposed the war in advance, obviously took the right reason, and he did not go to the front line of Jinghu, had clearly sent him a signal that Cheng Wuben was not a fool, and it was impossible for him to come back to die obediently.

"Your Majesty, if you want to test Chengfu, Your Majesty can send him a decree to you, and ask him to come to Yuquan from Jinghu immediately to discuss military affairs with Your Majesty. If he comes..."

"He comes, it is impossible to kill him like this!" Min Ruoying said coldly: "In the current situation, if he is killed, Jinghu will be in chaos immediately. On the opposite side of Jinghu, the Qi army has gathered tens of thousands of troops."

"Of course it's not to kill him. If he comes, Your Majesty can comfort him with kindness to calm his heart." Luo Liang said: "In order to reduce his suspicion of Your Majesty, and prepare for the future removal of this person."

"What if he doesn't come?" Min Ruoying asked.

"If he doesn't come, it means he is no longer loyal to His Majesty." Luo Liang snorted coldly: "Then His Majesty will start to cut off this person. And it will be sent to the end of the agenda, because every day, this person's strength will increase a little, and in the end, the end will be too big."

Min Ruoying's eyes lit up, "Yes, this is a solution. He will not obey the order. Then I will be more confident if I want to cut him off. You can immediately go down and ask someone to draft an order and summon Chengwuben to Yuquan Jin to see him."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Luo Liang replied with a smile, but he was extremely proud in his heart. This was a dead end. Cheng Wu was not going to come, but it was just a dead end. It was just a matter of time. Once Cheng Wu Ben died, who else could preside over the second line of defense centered on Jinghu. Besides himself, who else is qualified?

Luo Liang never thought that he was worse than Cheng Wuben. This time his failure was just that the enemy was too cunning. Who would have thought that Qi Ming and the two countries that were fighting would secretly join forces to cheat Chu? He was just unlucky.
