"Li Bai slaughtered a Hai clan who returned to the Yuan realm in half a step, and made great contributions to our great Qin Dynasty. Therefore, I specially grant him the title of Qinglian Marquis and a settlement of 3,000 households!"

The gold content of a half-step returning warrior is very high, not much worse than destroying a Hai Clan fleet.

"Du Fu has done great service to our great Qin Dynasty by slaying three sea warrior gods. Therefore, I specially grant him the title of Shaoling Marquis and a settlement of 1,800 households."

"During the battle to destroy the Hai Clan's second fleet, Zhou Yu commanded well and managed things smoothly. Therefore, I specially granted him the position of Marquis of Yu, with a settlement of 1,200 households, and also gave him three Martial God Pills!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao He, the Prime Minister of Qin who was standing respectfully, bowed and said: "I sincerely obey your Majesty's imperial edict!"

Qin Yu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, nodded slightly after seeing this and said, "Qing family, how is your recent progress in martial arts?"

Although Xiao He was the leader of the Qin officials, he was busy with government affairs, so his progress in martial arts had been slow.

For this reason, Qin Yu often asked people to urge Xiao He, but the effect was not great.

Hearing this, Xiao He, who was wearing a blue official robe, responded respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am a humble minister with poor talent and unworthy of Your Majesty's high expectations. As of today, I am capable of breaking through to the second level of the Martial Saint."

Xiao He has been born for three years, and his martial arts level improvement speed is one of the best when compared to Luo Xing, but compared to the outstanding Chinese people who are full of perverts, it is slow!

Hearing this, Qin Yu frowned slightly, and then said calmly: "Qing Xiao, you don't have to do everything yourself. Sometimes it's not a bad thing to delegate power and promote some juniors!"

The reason why Xiao He's progress in martial arts is so slow is because of his hands-on character.

No matter how big or small political affairs were, Xiao He had to personally deal with them and was busy with documents all day long.

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of seizing power. I hope Your Majesty will tell you clearly!"

After hearing Qin Yu's "heart-wrenching words", Xiao He's face changed drastically. He immediately removed his crown, kowtowed, and spoke out in defense.

Although people like Xiao He are extremely intelligent, they are prone to over-interpret the words of superiors.

Just like this time, he interpreted Qin Yu's words of "delegating power" and "doing everything personally" as Qin Yu's distaste for him taking too much power.

Seeing Xiao He like this, Qin Yu, who was wearing a black dragon robe, couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Xiao Qing, I didn't mean this. Don't think too much!"

"As for what I just said, I just hope that you, Xiao Qing, will pay attention to your martial arts realm. After all, you, Qing family, are an example for all officials of our Great Qin. If your martial arts realm is too weak, wouldn't it undermine the majesty of our Great Qin?"

?”

Chinese heroes are 100% loyal to Qin Yu, so Qin Yu is not like those feudal emperors in the long history of China who were suspicious and jealous.

After hearing this, Xiao He's expression softened slightly and he said, "I will remember your Majesty's words carefully!"

Xiao He was very taboo if his superiors suspected him of taking power.

In his previous life, he sent more than a hundred members of his family to join Gaozu's team just to dispel Liu Bang's suspicion of him.

In addition to the above-mentioned measures, he also did not hesitate to slander his name to show to Emperor Gaozu that he had no second thoughts.

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Qin Yu said with a serious face: "The Star Sword Sect relies on its remoteness from our country, the Qin Dynasty, so it often makes rebellious remarks and humiliates the Qin Dynasty!"

"For this reason, I want to raise an army to attack it!"

"What do you think the Qing family wants?"

I don’t know if the Star Sword Sect insulted the Qin Dynasty, but it was indeed a stumbling block that prevented the Qin Dynasty from unifying the nine regions.

"Your Majesty's wishes are those of a humble minister!"

Xiao He's face was solemn and his tone was respectful.

Hearing this, Qin Yu nodded slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "I confer Zhang Liao as the Yanmen General of the Great Qin Dynasty, and supervise all matters related to the Northern Expedition of the Star Sword Sect!"

"I decree that Yang Jizhou be appointed as Zuo Xiao General of the Northern Campaign!"

"I confer Xue Dingshan as the Right Honorable General of the Northern Expedition!"

"I decree that Qin Yong be appointed as the General of the Northern Expedition, leading fifty thousand black armored cavalry, supervising the generals on the left and right, and assisting General Yanmen in the expedition against the Star Sword Sect!"

This expedition against the Star Sword Sect was intended to hone the new generation of generals in the Qin Dynasty.

Although Zhang Liao was the governor of all matters related to the Northern Expedition, it is obvious from the above imperial edict that he was only a supporting role!

After listening silently, Xiao He, the Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, said with a respectful face: "I obey your Majesty's will!"

………………

Three days later.

News of the complete annihilation of the Hai Clan's second fleet spread to the Poseidon City.

Poseidon City, within the Poseidon Hall.

Russell II, who heard the news that the four war gods and the Empire's second fleet were all destroyed, looked pale and said: "How is this possible!"

"It's just a human country!"

At this moment, he was extremely regretful!

I wish I could slap myself twice!

This time, not only did their Sea Empire not get any advantage, but they also caused a lot of trouble!

The Second Fleet of the Sea Tribe!

Four sea warrior gods!

Such losses are unprecedented for the Sea Empire!

Chenor, who was at the bottom position, sighed secretly after seeing this.

He understood that the decision made by His Majesty was not wrong, but what happened was that Da Qin was an anomaly!

"Your Majesty, now that the matter is over, you don't have to be too harsh on yourself!"

Chenor's face was respectful and her tone was sincere!

Hearing this, Russell II's face softened slightly and he said: "Prime Minister, what should I do now?"

The current Sea Empire can be said to be in trouble both internally and externally!

Inside, there were a large number of angry imperial people, demonstrating in the streets, asking the empire's higher-ups to give reasons for the defeat, and also asked the empire's upper-level officials not to interrupt the war, but to continue fighting with the Qin Dynasty.

Externally, the Sea Empire needs to face countermeasures from Great Qin. It is impossible for Great Qin to say that it remains indifferent after being provoked!

After hearing this, Chenor thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, now we can only cut through the mess quickly. The longer the matter drags on, the greater the damage will be to the empire!"

Having said this, a trace of ruthlessness appeared on Chenor's face and he said: "Order the Poseidon Secret Guards to dispatch and kill all the leaders of the parade, and all the rest will be imprisoned!"

"Under the current situation, anyone who dares to speak out about war will be killed!"

"Outside, gather the fleets of the three major empires to patrol the waters around the empire day and night to prevent Da Qin from raiding the empire's mainland. At the same time, find a way to contact the people of Shang Zong so that they can deal with Da Qin!"

Chenole is indeed a mature and prudent politician.

He quickly found a way out of the current messy situation for Russell II.

The current Sea Empire must not be swayed by public opinion, so Chenor directly issued a killing order to the leader of the parade.

Under the current situation, those who dare to talk about starting another war either have ulterior motives or are empty-headed.

The Sea Empire has a total of five imperial fleets, which are an important force in defending the Sea Empire. However, the second and third fleets of the Empire have been destroyed by the Great Qin, so now only the First and Third Empires are left in the Sea Empire.

Four, Fifth Fleet!

In addition, through this disastrous defeat, Chenor clearly realized that Da Qin was definitely not something that the current Sea Empire could defeat, so he used a move to leverage its strength.

That is: Our Sea Empire cannot defeat Great Qin, but Shang Zong can always take care of Great Qin, right?

Hearing this, Russell II, who was wearing a navy blue dragon robe, fell into deep thought.

Tangled, unbearable, embarrassed... and other expressions flashed across his face one by one.

This decision is not so easy to make!

After a long time, Russell II sighed and said: "Prime Minister, just do as you say!"

Although he could not bear to turn his butcher knife on the people of the empire who were loyal to him, he could not let public opinion carry the Sea Empire into the abyss of destruction.
