In Luoyang City, outside Chongde Hall, white marble-carved beast heads were baptized by heavy rain, and two rows of imperial guards wearing black armor stood in the wind and rain.

No matter how time changes, this dynasty that has been going through hundreds of years is still as majestic as a mountain.

In the hall, a young man in a gorgeous costume stared at a sand table.

Beside him, there were some princes and ministers standing respectfully, including generals and civil officials. Everyone's eyes were closely watching the movement and stillness of the master.

This young man was the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

The sand table in front of the emperor was clearly divided, and the picture notes marked the various forces, including the Huns, the Han Dynasty, the Japanese Islands, the coast of the North Sea, the Dian Kingdom, the 72 Western Regions, the 36 dynasties in the eastern border, and many unnamed areas. Just looking at the vastness of this world, it is not something that humans can explore at this time.

"Dian Kingdom, it's Dian Kingdom again!" The young emperor knocked on the table twice, and his eyebrows seemed extremely unhappy.

The reason for this is nothing else: when the Han Dynasty was doing business, he went westward and passed through various countries. No country was polite, but only the Dian Kingdom dared to collect taxes on business and travel in the Han Dynasty every time. When the tax was collected, it was tantamount to taking a bite on a rich fat cream. The original rich benefits inevitably seemed much less.

The most important thing is that the Dian Kingdom was just a place of nickels for the Han Dynasty. The ministers knew the emperor's anger very well and nodded slightly when they heard this.

After being angry, the emperor looked up at the ministers.

"You guys might as well say bluntly, if we attack Dian Kingdom, what chance of winning will we have?"

A white-bearded general reported: "Emperor, the old minister is willing to lead 30,000 elite cavalry and plague the Dian Kingdom within half a year. We can build a new county there once and for all."

However, without waiting for the emperor's reply, a civil servant who looked like an eunuch immediately stood up to object.

"Report to my emperor... Although the Dian Kingdom is small, it is a tribe of Qiang. Not only is it tough, but it is still located in the deep forest. It is not easy to slaughter and education is even more difficult. But as long as they worship the power of our heavenly dynasty, the annual silver will be doubled. This will save the disaster of war. Besides... the Huns have been eyeing each other, so we must not start a war on both sides. Your Majesty... Please make a clear decision!"

After the civil minister finished speaking, he glanced at the military general, and the contempt in his eyes was self-evident.

The old general immediately rebuked: "Hmph, after you eunuch, you have never followed the army. What qualifications are you to talk about military strategies? All the power of our heavenly dynasty is destroyed in the hands of people like you. The ancestors said that those who violated my strong Han will be punished even if they are far away, and the Kingdom of Dian cannot be excluded."

When the civil minister heard this, he looked excited and blushed, retorted: "General Xu, what are you saying? Whether you are fighting or not, you have to consider the interests of both sides. We have the Xiongnu in the north, and expanding to the east and west is not a day and night. Over the years, have you lost fewer achievements? Humph, although my official rank is lower than you, I have been able to pass the exam by reading thousands of books by saints. If you study well, you will be an official. Is the teaching principle of the Four Books and Five Classics a lot in the eyes of the veteran general? "

"You, you... are so rude!" The general exhausted his words and said angrily, "It's simply outrageous!"

At this time, the white-faced minister suddenly sneered and took out a document.

"Your Majesty, I have a document that records that the third son of General Xu recently occupied Qianqing of fertile land in Changshan and embezzled General Xiaolong's land. The evidence is conclusive. Please make clear decisions.
