Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Chapter 538 Yunqi, what are you looking for me for?

Hearing Zhuge Zhongguang's last words, the ministers in the Hall of Political Affairs finally understood why Lu Chen decided to dissolve the Sunset Sword Sect and Tai Chu Divine Hall.

Everyone knew that Great Scholar Zhuge was one hundred percent on the Emperor's side, and since Zhuge Zhongguang proposed dissolving all sect powers within the territories of Great Sum, it indicated that this was the true intent of the Emperor.

But why would the Emperor want to do this?

At that moment, Lu Chen spoke, "Dissolve all the sect powers in the world? I'm afraid that might not be good, right? Great Scholar, could you tell me, if we really do this, what benefits will it bring?"

Zhuge Zhongguang answered, "Your Majesty, although Great Wu and Great Jue are already vanquished, there are still some remnants of both nations taking refuge within some of the sect powers, harbouring delusions of restoring their countries. They exist in the form of sects, secretly recruiting troops and dodging Great Sum's scrutiny."

"If we dissolve all the sect powers in Great Sum and prohibit their existence, they will lose their primary hiding places."

"This will be more conducive to the stability of the world!"

Lu Chen said, "I see, the benefit is indeed not small, but to dissolve the sect powers of the world, the resistance will certainly not be minor."

Zhuge Zhongguang continued, "Your Majesty, as long as you dissolve the Tai Chu Divine Hall and the Sunset Sword Sect, these two major powers, and then impose a blockade on those sect powers under the pretext of searching for remnants of the two countries, I believe that doing so will cause most of the sect powers to dissolve themselves."

Every major power's leaders are old foxes, and as long as what Zhuge Zhongguang has suggested is done to this extent, people will know that the Emperor is determined to eliminate the sect powers. If they insist on continuing to exist, what follows will inevitably be their physical destruction.

The Daxia Dynasty is currently at the height of its influence, and Lu Chen, the Sum Emperor, holds power that can be said to have reached a historical peak. No force would dare to oppose Lu Chen at this time.

Listening to Zhuge Zhongguang's words, the ministers suddenly felt sweat on their foreheads, as they had thought that today's discussion would be about the campaign against the Great Qian Dynasty.

The result, however, turned out that the Great Scholar and the Emperor's direction of conversation shifted swiftly to the elimination of sect powers within Great Sum's territory. The reason why the Emperor wanted to eliminate the sect powers was also mentioned by Zhuge Zhongguang before.

The apparent goal is to deprive those remnants wishing to restore their countries of their sanctuaries. Of course, the most important reason is probably that the existence of the sect powers severely affects the stability of a dynasty.

The current sect powers are like small nations, having everything from weapons to population. Lu Chen, an emperor of a unified state, will never allow such forces to exist on the land of Great Sum.

Of course, Lu Chen is actually preparing for the future enemies of the Misty World.

Only by integrating the resources of this world will there be a greater chance of victory against the enemies of the Misty World in the future.

Indeed, today's Great Court Assembly was meant to discuss the annihilation of Great Qian, with the elimination of Great Sum's internal sect powers being a side issue.

After Zhuge Zhongguang finished speaking, Lu Chen put on a thoughtful look and was silent for a long while.

At that moment, the great hall was incredibly quiet, everyone waiting for Lu Chen's response.

After pondering for a while, Lu Chen opened his mouth and said, "In that case, let's do as Great Scholar Zhuge has suggested."

"Great Scholar Zhuge, I'll leave this matter in your hands."

Someone always had to be the bad guy, and the Emperor could not afford to offend people at will. Since Zhuge Zhongguang was the one who proposed it, he would be the one to take the blame.

There are a great many Sect powers within the territory of Great Sum, and whoever proposes to eradicate these Sect forces will become their enemy. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire

Lu Chen, as the Emperor, for the sake of peace throughout the land, generally does not deal with such offensive matters in person. Now, as Emperor, Lu Chen has grown increasingly adept at his role. Sometimes, he even doubts whether one day he might become like the other Emperors, cold and merciless, only knowing how to manipulate power.

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Zhuge Zhongguang immediately knelt down and said, "Your servant obeys the decree!"

After discussing the matter of eradicating the Sect forces, Lu Chen glanced at the ministers in the great hall and then said, "Let us put this matter aside for now and proceed to discuss the conquest of Great Qian!"

Upon hearing this, the ministers felt a jolt in their hearts. They had originally thought that the Emperor intended to use the conquest of Great Qian as a pretext to take action against the Sect forces across the land. However, after finishing the matter of dissolving the Sects across the land, the Emperor's tone shifted back.

Was the eradication of Sects across the land, in the Emperor's eyes, merely a trivial matter?

In the eyes of the ministers, the difficulty of eradicating the Sects across the land was no less than that of destroying a dynasty. Within the several great dynasties, there were many Sect forces; although Mysterious Moon Palace was nominally the strongest among the Sects, no one could be certain that there were not hidden forces within these great dynasties possessing strength surpassing that of Mysterious Moon Palace.

However, since the Sum Emperor had already decided, there was nothing the ministers could do now. Lu Chen's power was immense; once he had made a decision, no minister dared to persist in opposition.

The Great Court Assembly then continued to discuss the campaign against Great Qian. After the deliberation of the Great Court Assembly, Lu Chen decided to first dispatch four hundred thousand troops to march south and station them at the border between Great Qian and Great Sum, but not to launch an attack for the time being. Instead, he would send some strong individuals into the Great Qian Dynasty to clarify the situation with the epidemic. Then, they would commence the campaign against Great Qian.

Naturally, there was another benefit to sending troops to press the border.

The common folk of Great Qian, already panicked by the epidemic, would undoubtedly become even more terrified and anxious if they knew that Great Sum had dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops to their border.

Under the pressure of the epidemic and the Great Sum army, some of Great Qian's people would surely choose to surrender to Great Sum. In this way, Great Sum would not need to expend much effort to take down Great Qian.

After the Great Court Assembly ended, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon; Lu Chen went directly to the Imperial Study Room to deal with some official documents regarding troop movements.

At that moment, Bai Qingqing's voice rang from outside, "Your Majesty, General Yunqi requests an audience."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was momentarily startled.

Then he said, "Come in!"

Lu Chen had more or less guessed the reason for Xuanyuan Yunqi's visit today. Clearly, she wanted to take part in the battle against Great Qian.

As Lu Chen spoke, Xuanyuan Yunqi, clad in black gold armor, entered the study room. Xuanyuan Yunqi wore her hair in a single ponytail, with her fringe parted to both sides, revealing her smooth and white forehead. Her eyebrows exuded a valiant air, and her entire presence was vibrant and dashing.

The black gold armor of Xuanyuan Yunqi fit tightly against her body, perfectly highlighting her shapely figure.

It had to be said, this attire truly suited Xuanyuan Yunqi best.

Lu Chen had long wanted to take Xuanyuan Yunqi into his harem, but had not allowed her to stay there; instead, he had her lead the Imperial Guards. That was because Lu Chen felt that Xuanyuan Yunqi was at her most beautiful when donning a warrior's armor.

After evaluating Xuanyuan Yunqi with a glance, Lu Chen's mouth curved slightly upwards, and with a smile, he inquired, "Yunqi, what brings you to me?"
