Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Unknown Reward_1

"Your Majesty, do you have a good plan?" Eunuch Wei asked curiously. "Ever since the Three Hundred Thousand Divine Warriors under Dawu who followed the late emperor perished, I have lost a powerful force that could deter the court and the suring four nations. Therefore, I have decided to take this opportunity to reorganize the Divine Soldiers." Chu Yuan's gaze was sharp, like a sword. He knew through his foresight over the past three years that since the late emperor's death, chaos broke out all over Dawu, causing unrest among the people. The feudal lords in their respective territories had be accumulating power. They were just waiting for Dawu to be at its weakest to dispatch their troops to the capital and completely annihilate it. If there was an army of Divine Soldiers, Chu Yuan could lead the expedition himself and sweep across all territories in a matter of days! "Ding! The host has made a choice and has received a hundred Destiny Points." "Destiny Points balance, two hundred points." "Reorganize the Divine Warriors!" Eunuch Wei's heart trembled, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, the late emperor spt almost half of the national treasury to barely sustain that large army of 300,000. The currt financial situation is extremely precarious. Ev if Your Majesty wants to reorganize the army, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult as the country's strgth will be hard to maintain, especially considering the need to have a battle power that is invincible." "I am aware of the severity of the currt situation of the empire." Chu Yuan nodded: "But now I will only select the most outstanding warriors from the nation to constitute the army. I only need t thousand m for now. Just like how the late emperor began with a hundred brave warriors, I can do the same." "If it's just t thousand m, the empire's finances can just about support it. However, there is something the servant is not sure whether it is appropriate to say?" After hesitating for a momt, Eunuch Wei finally spoke: "Warriors, weapons, armor, and such can be resolved easily as they are available in the national treasury, but who will act as the leader of the corps? The Divine Warrior Legion is the most loyal to the emperor. The leader must be very powerful but also loyal to the emperor. However, upon observation, it seems like there is no one out there who meets these requiremts." Chu Yuan did not dy it. The previous Chu Yuan also wanted to reorganize the army but faced the same problem. He could not find a truly loyal person so he evtually let the idea go. However, Chu Yuan now had a system to aid him. "Haha, Eunuch Wei, you're overthinking. Who said there is no one in Dawu who can shoulder this burd? I have a candidate in mind. He is absolutely loyal. I have thought about this a long time ago. Only he can help me reorganize the army." Chu Yuan's eyes flickered, "Has Eunuch Wei forgott about the loyal marquis, Lu Qianfu?" Lu Qianfu oped his lazy eyes and was suddly shocked wh he saw Chu Yuan: "It's His Majesty! I apologize for my dereliction of duty. Long live the emperor!" He struggled to rise from the rocking chair, ready to kneel and salute. "Loyal Marquis, there's no need. I'm not here for your salutes today." Chu Yuan said calmly. He sat on the stone bch, looked at Lu Qianfu, was silt for a momt, and th said: "How does the loyal Marquis view the currt situation? I'm here for an honest talk, and I don't want to hear any flattery." "Your Majesty, the situation is quite difficult." Lu Qianfu said: "The sudd death of the late emperor was unexpected to everyone. Ev more unfortunate is that he took the 300,000 Divine Warriors with him, leaving Your Majesty without any absolute power apart from the imperial guards. Although the old minister has be retired due to illness, I still understand the world situation. The four nations that border us are eyeing us covetously. External chaos is not that fearsome, but internal strife is the most dreadful. Once internal and external troubles combine, it will be ough to destroy the foundation of Dawu." "Oh? So, who can I trust now?" Chu Yuan said, "The Grand Geral or the Prime Minister?" "The old minister dares to say that Your Majesty cannot trust anyone, especially the Grand Geral and the Prime Minister. Wh the late emperor was alive, they were his most loyal dogs, tireless and selfless. Now they are wolves and jackals, colluding with each other to scheme." Lu Qianfu sneered: "Although I have be away from the court for many years, I know they are plotting to secure the maximum interest for themselves before Dawu perishes." Hearing this, Chu Yuan was somewhat surprised. He knew of the rebellion by the Grand Geral and the Prime Minister because of his three years of experice, but it was surprising that Lu Qianfu, who had be recuperating at his mansion for many years, also knew so clearly. "Keep going," Chu Yuan said. "Your Majesty's sudd visit to my mansion today clearly shows that you are aware of the chaos in the royal court." Lu Qianfu sighed and said: "But I have grown old and can only offer some strategies for Your Majesty. The late emperor had two main forces: the Divine Warrior Legion and the imperial guards. The imperial guards are stationed in the Imperial City and cannot be mobilized. What Your Majesty needs is a powerful army that can be commanded at will. Once the domestic situation is stable, Dawu can slowly develop. The four nations would definitely not dare to invade Dawu." "Haha, Loyal Marquis, your thoughts are exactly the same as mine!" Chu Yuan laughed loudly and said: "Yes, I came to you today to discuss the reorganization of the Divine Warriors. You were the head of the hundred brave warriors under the late emperor and proved to be the most loyal." "I do have some experice in such matters." A spark flashed in the eyes of Lu Qianfu: "The leader of the army must be loyal. I can recommd someone here, Lieutant Huang Yong of the Ministry of War. He has reached the sevth level of his Divine Abilities and was handpicked by the late emperor. He has always had differt paths from Shangguan Qingyun and Li Yun."
