Chapter 441: War breaks out again in the East
"Well, I paid for it privately, not from the public account."

The economic base determines the superstructure. Shen Xiangwan was very wealthy. Before this, she had even thought about moving the capital directly. However, moving the capital was indeed a waste of money and time, so she had to settle for the second best option of demolishing and rebuilding the palace. She didn't have to demolish all of it, just those that the dog emperor often used. She felt a little disgusted.

"Okay, you have the money and you have the final say."

Yan Junling couldn't help laughing as he covered his mouth with his fists and coughed twice. If one were to ask who was the richest among them, it would definitely be Shen Xiangwan. She had made a lot of money from selling the wines, and the army had grown and expanded thanks to her occasional support. It was just a matter of demolishing and rebuilding a few palaces. He believed that she really had the ability to do so.

He was not the only one who couldn't help laughing.
Generals Chu Liang and others present could not help but curl their lips. Others who started a rebellion were extremely poor and it was common for them to not be able to pay their soldiers. However, they seemed to be getting richer and richer, especially in terms of food. They really couldn't even finish eating it. And all this was because of Shen Xiangwan.

"Arrange for the craftsmen to enter the palace as soon as possible."

Shen Xiangwan saw everyone's joking smiles, but she didn't care. Since she had the conditions, why should she put herself in a difficult position?
"If we demolish and rebuild the palace, Cheng Yi might not be able to ascend the throne in a short period of time."

After a moment, Chu Liang stroked his chin and said, "Logically speaking, a country cannot be without a monarch for a day, Cheng Yi should ascend the throne as emperor as soon as possible, but they are unwilling to live in the palace, and the coronation ceremony has not been held yet. If we really have to wait until the new palace is demolished and rebuilt before ascending the throne, it will probably take at least half a year, which seems a bit long."

"It doesn't matter. Let's quell the internal strife first."

Wei Chengyi, who was sitting side by side with Shen Xiangwan, said in a deep voice that although they had captured the imperial city and occupied many prefectures, they had not taken over all the original prefectures of Tianqi Kingdom. There were still many rebel forces in various places. At least before all obstacles were completely cleared, no one should urge him to ascend the throne and become emperor.

"That's fine..."

"Your Majesty, I will fight you!"

"The last general invites you to fight!"

Before Chu Liang finished speaking, a group of generals, led by General Peng, stood up in unison. Since Wei Chengyi had already taken the lead, he was obviously preparing to mobilize troops against those rebel forces. If he didn't ask for a fight now, when would he?
Chu Liang was slightly stunned when he was suddenly interrupted by them, and then he couldn't help but chuckle. These generals under Wei Chengyi were really interesting. He just hoped that they could always keep their original intention. He believed that they would not target the heroes, but if they committed crimes first, they would certainly not be merciful. If they really swung the butcher knife at them, it would be somewhat detrimental to their reputation.

"I can only send 200,000 troops at most."

After looking at them one by one, Wei Chengyi paused for a moment before continuing, "With the Imperial City as the center, all the prefectures in the western and eastern borders have been cleared out, and there is no rebellious force. Now there is only the imperial city to the southern and northern borders. According to the information we have received, there are 100,000 troops stationed in the southern and northern border towns respectively. General Peng, General Chen, I will give you 100,000 troops, fight all the way to the southern border, and take the 100,000 troops guarding the border into your pocket. Qingying, General Zheng, I will also give you 100,000 troops, fight to the northern border, and if the 100,000 troops guarding the northern border are willing to be incorporated, then incorporate them. If not, then fight until they are willing!"

At the end, Wei Chengyi's tone suddenly became harsh, and it could be said to be overbearing. The Zhenbei Army was an army that was commanded by Wanqishan all year round. No matter what the soldiers were like, those generals probably had some ideas. If they didn't obey, they would have to be beaten until they obeyed.

"Yes."

The four people who were named clasped their fists and bowed at the same time. Wei Chengyi nodded: "In addition, the Qiang Kingdom has always been restless. The country has been in chaos for so long, I'm afraid they also..."

"Report!"

Before Wei Chengyi finished speaking, a guard came in quickly and respectfully handed a sealed letter to him: "I sent it urgently from the Eastern Territory, eight hundred miles away. Please take a look, Second Master."

When they heard it was the East Territory, everyone's faces darkened. The enemy outside the East Territory was none other than the Qiang State.

"Not long ago, the Qiang army came to the border and attacked the eastern border city frantically. The 100,000 border troops are struggling to hold on and urgently need military support."

After opening the letter and taking a look, Wei Chengyi's face was heavy: "I'm sorry, Chu Liang, Senior Sister, please stay in the imperial city. I will lead the troops to the Eastern Border in person." Since the founding of the Tianqi Kingdom, the Eastern Border has always been guarded by the Wei family. My grandfather fought for it all his life and defended its stability until his death. It would be fine if the Qiang Kingdom did not make any move, but since they have already attacked, he must go there in person. This time, he wants the Qiang Kingdom to regret provoking them and prevent them from easily violating the border again for at least ten years.

"it is good."

Chu Liang and Liang Yuting looked at each other and neither of them objected. The East Territory was originally the territory of the Wei family. If it weren't for his assistance, they would not have been able to successfully take over the military power of the East Territory in just two or three years.

"Qingying, immediately mobilize 200,000 soldiers and march to the Eastern Territory."

With them guarding the imperial city, he doesn't need to keep so many people in the imperial city.

"Yes."

Qingying agreed and turned to leave the hall. Seeing this, the other generals stood up and took their leave. Most of them were going to the East Territory and needed to go back to make some arrangements.

"General Zheng, you and General Wang should go to the northern border together."

"Yes."

The two generals who were called paused for a moment before turning around again. Wei Chengyi continued, "Jun Ling, the matter of food and grass is now in your hands."

"no problem."

They have no shortage of food now, so Yan Junling agreed very readily.

"Uncle Yan, Chu Liang, Senior Sister, please take care of the Imperial City and other matters."

"Ah."

Wei Chengyi called out the names of everyone and gave instructions one by one. After everyone had left, he took Shen Xiangwan's hand and said, "Sorry, I have to go in person this time."

"Go ahead. You have your senior sisters to help you. Don't worry about the things in the imperial city. I will go back to Chenzhou to bring mother and the others back in a while."

Shen Xiangwan nodded without any displeasure. Others had come to their doorstep, and if he was still only thinking about love, she would be the first one to look down on him.

"Okay, I'll leave Yuan Shu to you. The current situation is not very stable, so remember to take them with you when you go out."

He knew that his wife would not object. Wei Chengyi raised his hand to smooth her hair, with a hint of pity in his eyes. It seemed that he had never been with her properly since she married him. When everything was over, he would make it up to her with all his heart. He could not always let his little wife suffer such a grievance.

"Ah."

Shen Xiangwan was not a person who would show off his bravery, so she agreed without thinking. Afterwards, Wei Chengyi brought his sons out of the space, hugged them and kissed them hard before returning to the main courtyard to change into armor. Shen Xiangwan accompanied him silently throughout the whole process, and put on the armor for him personally, telling him to return to the space as long as he had time. She could support any decision he made and did not need him to accompany her all the time, but she must know that he was safe.
