Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 758 has no value

On the table.

Lu Hao talked about the miserable current situation of Jin and Shu, and how the common people were living in dire straits, which made the two of them sigh.

Tantai Xiyao also told Lu Hao most of what happened in the imperial capital during this period, so that he could be mentally prepared.

"Queen, the New Year is coming soon. Today is the first year of the establishment of the empire. We must hold a proper celebration ceremony."

"You are responsible for this matter. However, since you are pregnant now, just leave the specific matters to Concubine Xian."

Lu Hao said with a smile.

Concubine Xian is the thirteenth princess of the Sui Empire. Among the entire harem, the queen and Xiao Yun'er have just become pregnant, and Chen Yuhuan and Dong Xiaowan have another child. I am afraid that only Nangong Ruoxue has the energy.

The Empire's Great Celebration is a very important event, and all major forces across the continent, as well as important officials of the imperial court, will be invited to participate in the celebration.

As for this celebration, I probably have to discuss it in detail with Nangong Ruoxue.

"Follow the emperor's will."

Tantai Xiyao responded.

"Your Majesty, the cabinet ministers want to see you!"

Little Xizi's father-in-law walked in and reported in a low voice.

"Why are they here? I just came back. Really, tell them that I want to accompany Concubine Shu and let them wait!"

Lu Hao said domineeringly.

"Your Majesty, the cabinet ministers must have some state affairs to discuss with you, so you should not linger here with me."

Xiao Yuner is very sensible.

"Yes, Your Majesty, since you have been gone for so long, they must have many things to report to you."

Tantai Xiyao also interjected.

"I also said that I would go and see the other concubines. Now I'm fine, but they all disrupted me."

Lu Hao was a little depressed.

However, even though I said I was a little unhappy, I thought it would be better to go out and take a look first and deal with state affairs.

"Okay, Xiao Xizi, let them come in, I will handle state affairs here."

Lu Hao also wanted to spend more time with Xiao Yuner.

In a moment, all the cabinet ministers headed by Tantai Mingyue filed in and fell to their knees one after another.

"Greetings to the Emperor, Queen, and Concubine Shu!"

cried the cabinet ministers in unison.

"Okay, you guys, get up and tell me if you need anything. I want to go see the other concubines."

Lu Hao urged impatiently.

"Your Majesty, I don't know about the merger of Jin and Shu into the empire..."

The bright moon in Tantai stopped talking.

"Hehehe... Okay, I can see that you all are concerned about the territories of the two countries, so you can't wait to ask me?"

Lu Hao laughed happily and said: "Okay, let me first briefly talk about the situation in the Western Region."

"The Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Shu had originally agreed to sign a treaty of friendship and trade with the empire. However, the Great Zhou Dynasty of the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu was worried that the two countries would turn to us, and they arranged a secret chess game early on and launched a coup in an instant. The Kingdom of Shu The Lord and the royal family were massacred, and half of the palace was burned.”

"At the same time, the Zhou Dynasty, the Xixia Dynasty and the Yue Kingdom sent troops from three directions to invade the Shu Kingdom. They quickly divided the Shu Kingdom. They burned, killed, looted and tortured, and committed all kinds of evil. If I were not in Jindu City, Shu would have The country has long been captured by them."

"The situation in the Jin State is similar. Prince Zhou Lifeng of the Zhou Dynasty arranged a lot of secret moves and launched a rebellion. In the end, the Jin State was also attacked by the Xixia Dynasty and the Zheng State. Except for the capital Yingzhou City, basically everything fell to the Xixia and Zheng Dynasties. The hand of the country.”

Following Lu Hao's eloquent talk, the cabinet ministers also understood the situation of the entire Western Region. "Your Majesty, so to speak, when the two countries are merged into the Chinese Empire, they actually don't have an inch of land."

Tantai Mingyue said with a bitter face.

"There is indeed not an inch of land, and most of the cities in the two countries have been looted, and there are many more refugees. A lot of food is needed to get them through this cold winter."

Lu Hao nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, if the two countries have no value, it is better to give up. The two leaders just asked us to pick up the mess."

Tantai Mingyue persuaded.

"How could it be worthless? Once Jin and Shu are merged into the Chinese Empire, we will open the door to the Western Regions, and the entire Western Regions will be a meal for our empire."

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"Is the Emperor really planning to annex the Western Region?"

Xuanyuan Dingyuan said in surprise.

"Of course, do you think I'm just talking?"

Lu Hao's eyes swept over, and everyone's expressions looked a little embarrassed.

To be honest, they also felt that the emperor might just pay lip service to it. After all, the Western Region was so far away and separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and there were so many mountains and mountains that the effort of an expedition was not worth the gain.

"The Emperor is so talented and strategic that it will only be a matter of time before he annexes the Western Regions."

Du Ze, the Minister of Rites, said quickly.

"Come on, Mr. Du. I haven't seen you for a few days. You seem to have gained some weight. Did you eat too much?"

Lu Hao rolled his eyes at him.

"Your Majesty works so hard. As a minister, I should endure hardships with you. I don't dare to eat too much."

Du Ze said quickly.

"I have long said that I will unify the continent. Not only will I expedition to the Western Regions, I will also destroy the Sui Empire and the Wei Empire in the future, and bring the entire continent into the empire's territory. This is what must be done."

Lu Hao had already set a goal for himself.

"The Emperor has great talents and strategies, and we must keep them in mind."

The other cabinet ministers responded one after another.

"Originally, I was planning to send a mission to the Western Regions to find out. However, the rebellions of Jin and Shu forced the matter to be shelved. Therefore, I immediately adjusted my strategy and changed the annexation of the Western Regions to a five-step process."

"The first step is to send troops to occupy the territories of Jin and Shu, drive out the other dynasties, and gain a foothold in the Western Regions."

"The second step is to send troops to destroy Zheng, Yue and Xixia. This is the second stage of the strategy to ensure that after occupying Xixia, the capital of Xixia will have the outlet to the West Sea."

"The third step is to send troops to destroy the three most powerful dynasties in the Western Region and completely defeat the main army in the Western Region. This stage is also the most difficult and tragic."

"The fourth step, after the first three stages of arduous battles, we will continue to send troops from land and sea to destroy the major dynasties in the Western Region. This is a stage to expand the results of the war."

"The last step is to completely wipe out all the major rebel forces in the Western Region and enter the real final stage. It is estimated that we will have a final decisive battle with the Guangming Cult."

Lu Hao explained the general plan to annex the Western Region in one breath.

He is not worried at all about his plans being known by the enemy, because in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are in vain.

With his current strength, coupled with the emergence of various new weapons in the empire, as well as the technological bonus of gasoline engines and diesel engines, it is completely a dimensionality reduction strike.

All the cabinet ministers were filled with enthusiasm, their eyes were filled with stars, and they all showed admiration.

Tantai Xiyao and Xiao Yun'er looked at the unfathomable man in front of them, their beautiful eyes shining with joy.
