Lanyan City, imperial politics, economic center, during the war years, this rich city provided countless food, armor, weapons and diseases to the front line. Now, the war situation has finally calmed down temporarily. The people in Lanyan City welcomed the emperor's triumphant success, and when they saw Qin Yin wearing the empress's robe, they were so excited that they could not speak.

Finally, the era of the Three Kings ruled the world ended, and the chaos in the world should end as well.

"Is the war over?"

Lin Muyu smiled bitterly, probably not far from it. The troops of Tianji Continent are still several times that of the Shattered Ding Realm. The defeat of the Tianji Empire Expeditionary Force this time may lead to a new pattern change in the Tianji Continent. No one knows what the future will be. They can only be cautious step by step and be careful.

Qin Yin had already changed the angel costumes to the military uniforms of the female general of the empire. She wore a dark blue robe with golden purple flowers embroidered on it. This was the standard outfit of the empress in the war era, but she always closed her eyes and followed Lin Muyu all the way to Zetian Palace.

Behind the empress, the imperial guards who had traveled far away had reduced from more than 100 to at least less than 30, which was very dismal. After all, the generals of the empire were still preserved intact. At least Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, Qin Yan, Wei Qiu, Xu Jiantao, Zeng Yifan and others were still alive. These people were the cornerstones of the empire. Qin Yin knew very well that if there were no soldiers, they could fight again and the famous generals were gone. Then I don’t know when new famous generals would stand out.

...

Zetian Palace has been cleaned in advance to make the windows and tables clean, solemn and brilliant. Everyone walked slowly and entered the hall without rest. There are still many things to deal with after the war, and this afternoon is destined to be very busy.

"I, please welcome the Empress to return to the court."

Everyone knelt down one after another, and even the three kings Lin Muyu, Qin Yan and Feng Jixing knelt at the forefront of the ministers. Their lords were prominent, but they were still ministers in front of Qin Yin.

"Please calm down everyone."

Qin Yin stood up, walked step by step to the edge of the imperial stairs, bowed to everyone, and said, "I have not been in the empire for many years. Everyone has worked hard all these years. It is precisely because of the blood of everyone that the Qin family can still stand on this continent. I, Qin Yin, on behalf of the Qin family, thank you all the greats."

Everyone said together: "Working for the empire, I will die without regrets."

Qin Yin looked towards Lin Muyu quietly and said, "Your Highness Yu."

Lin Muyu was stunned: "Xiao Yin."

Qin Yin nodded, slowly knelt in front of Lin Muyu, with a faint smile on his lips and said, "Brother Ayu, you are a genius, and you can live a life of freedom without caring about the world, but because of Xiao Yin's bond, Brother Ayu, you have suffered so much for so many years. I know, it's all my fault... Thank you for your hard work when you meet me..."

She was very moved, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she knelt deeply on the ground.

Lin Muyu hurriedly stepped forward, held her arms and whispered: "Xiaoyin, you are crazy, you are the empress, how can you kneel down to worship your subject? Get up quickly."

Qin Yin pursed her red lips: "I am not only the empress, but also your sister. We are not monarchs and ministers."

"Anyway, I can't kneel down, get up quickly."

"Um."

When Qin Yin stood up, Lin Muyu knelt down with peace of mind and glared at Shangguan Jingyue. She, the chief female officer, was too dereliction of duty, but Shangguan Jingyue also looked helpless. Obviously, how could she, without cultivation, stop what Qin Yin wanted to do.

...

There were many ministers above the hall, and at least 200 civil and military officials followed Qin Yin back to Zetian Hall. In addition to the original senior officials in Lanyan City, there were at least 300 people standing in the hall, densely packed.

Feng Jixing touched his nose, felt that Qin Yin and Lin Muyu showed off their faces, and whispered: "Ayu, I feel like you are going to be promoted."

"Why." Lin Muyu was stunned.

Feng Jixing said: "Your Highness Yin regards you as your brother and as your lover. You are the first to be a success. Who will be promoted if you don't get promoted?"

"Get up to be a son." Lin Muyu couldn't help but say something swearing, saying: "We are all kings now, and the emperor is kings below the emperor. The three of us are all under one person, above ten thousand people. If we go further, we will be overwhelmed. I think it would be a blessing if we don't demote."

"Oh, why." Feng Jixing was puzzled.

Lin Muyu whispered: "Look at so many ministers behind us, many of them are princes from all over the country. Their troops will soon come to Lanyan City, called "King King". In fact, they are taking advantage of the opportunity of the empire's incompleteness to seek official positions. Let's see. Xiaoyin is back, and we three kings will definitely not be the longest."

Feng Jixing frowned: "You are right, I should have thought of this section long ago. They will definitely control the power of our three kings, but... as long as we hold the power of military power, everything will be fine."

"The key is that the military power is not in the hands of it."

Lin Muyu said: "Look, my Longtan Camp and your imperial guards combined have only less than 30,000 people, which is pitiful. These honest princes behind us may find one of them, perhaps their troops will be better than us. In fact, the current situation is that our army has consumed all wars, but the troops of this group are kept very complete."

Feng Jixing clenched his fist: "It's okay, don't worry, we are gods, you are even more of a god with the supreme character. It's really hard for them to make things difficult for us. If you kill one prince, you can kill one. What's the big deal?"

"Then I'm afraid the world will be in chaos." Lin Muyu glared at him: "Brother Feng, you are too straightforward. Try to discuss everything with me before making a decision."

"A Yu, you boy is becoming more and more cautious in doing things. No wonder the late emperor would accept you as his adopted son."

Qin Yan, who was standing beside him, coughed: "Hey, King Qin and King Xin, it's time for the court to discuss. You two speak in a low voice. My cousin and everyone are watching you."

"Ahem..."

Sure enough, Zeng Yifan, Su Yu, Tang Xiaoxi and others, as well as a group of princes, were staring at Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing, the two greatest heroes in the revival of the empire. They all seemed to have seen ghosts. Logically, those who have made such immortal military achievements should be steady, but these two were too uncautionary.

Qin Yin smiled slightly and said, "Then, let's start the court discussion and report one by one."

"yes."

Not long after, Zeng Yifan took the jade scepter and stepped forward, saying, "Your Highness, the old minister has reported."

"Please tell me, Mr. Fan."

Zeng Yifan said: "The imperial army has been decreasing in the wars over the years, and its military strength has been reduced from hundreds of thousands to only 100,000 now. The old minister believes that the number of new soldiers recruited by the princes in various places is difficult to train. The old minister believes that soldiers should be drawn from the army of the princes in various places, supplemented to the major regular legions of the empire, and restored the original system of each legion as soon as possible."

Qin Yin nodded and said, "Well, this matter is indeed an urgent matter, so... what do the princes think."

Among the crowd, a middle-aged general with a high-profile weapon clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, this matter is inappropriate. When we recruited troops, the people were willing to let go of farming and go to serve the king. However, now the enemy has perished, so the subordinates think that these soldiers should return to farming, otherwise the empire would have no more military rations."

The person who spoke was Zhuang Yan, the prefect of Xiyang City, with more than 50,000 troops in his hand, and was also one of the strongest princes.

Zeng Yifan couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Zhuang Yan, if all the princes left with their troops, then who will protect the imperial capital Lanyan City? Moreover, the emperor urgently needs to strengthen his troops. You are also ministers of His Highness. Shouldn't you serve the country?"

Another old general smiled and stroked his white beard and said, "Anyone who says is biased and loyal to the country is certainly the duty of the ministers, but the superiors must be worthy of the king and the subordinates must be worthy of the people. We cannot ignore the lives of the people for our own selfishness, right?"

"Mr. Su Changying is really good at speaking." Zeng Fang said angrily.

Su Changying is the largest prince in Yunzhong Province, gathering more than 45,000 troops. Some people say that he was the illegitimate son of Muyun Gong, Su Muyun, but no one knows whether it is true. But now it has become a climate and cannot be looked down upon.

Lin Muyu was a little angry, turned around and looked at a group of princes and said, "If you give the troops, do you want to give them or not? Just one sentence, there are not so many twists and turns. Tell me, are you willing to contribute your troops to the Emperor**?"

He had already used the domain of the Elephant Invisible Art invisible. For a moment, all the princes seemed to be in an ice cave, almost breathing.

"Give it, of course there is nothing wrong with it." Su Changying spoke.

Zhuang Yanze said: "But the prefectures and counties in various places do need troops to be stationed, and more than half of the troops have to go back to continue farming. Therefore, the subordinates decided to draw 10% of the troops from each vassal army to supplement the Imperial Ministry of War, which is more reasonable."

"10%."

Qin Yin frowned slightly: "One percent is enough, 20 percent, no one can violate the order, otherwise they will be engaged in military law."

"yes."

A group of princes knelt down one after another, with no one on their faces on their faces.

Qin Yin continued: "Within seven days, all soldiers must be delivered to the Ministry of War to report. The Ministry of Personnel will reward the troops based on the merits handed over by the princes, and will hold a reward ceremony in seven days."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The ministers called out.

Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, and Tang Xiaoxi kept their faces cold. Obviously, the situation seemed to be no longer under the control of Zetian Palace. All the princes had their own thoughts, and people's hearts were already in chaos.
