As soon as Lu Fang said this, everyone present was shocked.

Recruiting another 50,000 troops?

Then wouldn’t we have an army of 100,000!

What to do if you raise so many soldiers?

Li Yu became nervous and asked hurriedly: "Does the real person think that there will be any abnormal movements in the tribes of Xiaoyang in the near future?"

Meng Liao shook his head and said, "This is unlikely! Our army just won a great victory in Wanguo and defeated the Xifan army. The country's prestige is greatly improved. The army's prestige is in full swing. How dare the tribes of Xiaoyang attack at this time?"

Chen Fang, Gao Tu, and Qin Shengying were all silent.

They could hear that Lu Fang's proposal was not to guard against the Xiaoyang tribes outside, but to guard against the inside of his own side.

Once Your Majesty really has a big flaw, the world of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be in chaos.

Li Yu didn't think so much.

He frowned and said, "Recruiting another 50,000 troops will consume too much money and food, and it is really unreasonable to be with the court."

To expand the scale of the border army to 50,000, Li Yu could also explain to his elder brother that the border army with only 10,000 people had too few troops and was not enough to protect himself.

Now, if the scale of the border army is expanded to 100,000, how can he explain to his elder brother?

Besides, what's the use of having so many troops in your hands?

It is impossible to deal with the tribes of the Xiaoyang Kingdom to have so many soldiers.

This will only accelerate the small amount of money you have finally saved.

Seeing that Li Yu had not stopped this, Lu Fang didn't want to explain too much to him.

He said, "Your Highness, you can prepare early to be prepared!"

Li Yu waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "I will discuss this matter later!"

Even if he has money now, he can't mess around and raise a group of useless soldiers. Isn't this a prodigal son?

The discussion came to an end, and Li Yu left first.

Lu Fang, Chen Fang and others who were left behind did not leave.

People gathered to Lu Fang and asked in a low voice: "Do Zhenren Lu think that there will be a major change in the near future?"

Lu Fang nodded slowly.

Chen Wan's eyes turned around and asked again: "Yes...is it now..."

He didn't finish his words, raised his hand and pointed upwards.

Lu Fang nodded again.

Everyone understood it and all took a deep breath.

Chen Fang asked with a serious expression: "If... if this is the case, Zhenren Lu thinks, what will happen next?"

Lu Fang did not continue to answer, and he said meaningfully: "Expanding the army by 100,000 is urgent!"

Gao Tu frowned and said, "Ke...Ke Dian... Your Highness insisted on refusing, I...I'll wait... so what can I do?"

Lu Fang fell into deep thought. After a moment, he slowly spoke up: "Miss Tao."

At present, Tao Xiying is the money in the Wu Prince's Mansion.

As long as Tao Xiying is willing, she can allocate a large amount of money to expand the army.

Chen Fang shook his head repeatedly and said seriously: "We can't do such a big thing without hiding it from Your Highness, and we will not agree to it!"

Gao Tu, Qin Shengying, and Meng Liao also nodded, saying that Chen Fang was right, and at the same time they also believed that this Zhenren Lu was indeed brave.

Only two days later, the Feiwei sent someone to report the news again, traveling day and night, changing horses and not changing people to Pyeongchang County, bringing Li Yu a message like a nuclear bomb explosion.

Li Hui, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, unfortunately died of injuries on his way back from Wanguo.

Li Yu, who heard the news, was stunned on the spot, and could not come back for a long time.

Li Yu has never empathized with Li Hui's original owner.

But since Li Yu traveled over, Li Hui treated him and was a kind and generous father.

Although he had beaten and scolded him, he was more tolerant of him.

This also made Li Yu feel the long-lost fatherly love and family affection.

Now that I suddenly heard that Li Hui passed away, Li Yu couldn't believe it for a moment and was unwilling to believe it.

He looked at the Feiwei who came to report the news, waved his hand and said loudly: "Impossible! This is impossible!"

He had given his father a long Yuan Dan. Although his father was older, his body was much stronger than before.

How could it take my father's life if he was injured by just one arrow?

Feiwei's eyes were wet and red. He knelt on the ground with a thud and said with a sob: "Please mourn your throne!"

"You...you must be lying about military information. Do you know what the crime is?"

The flying guard knelt on the ground, without saying anything, only whimpering and crying.

"Come, drag him out for me!"

Seeing this, everyone around came forward, intervened and bowed, and whispered: "Please mourn your throne!"

How dare a mere flying guard report such a big deal about the death of the emperor?

Looking at the sad expression on the faces of everyone around him, Li Yu asked loudly: "You all believe his nonsense?"

"Please mourn your throne!"

Li Yu clenched his fists tightly and said ruthlessly: "I don't believe it!"

He really couldn't figure out how could his father, who had obviously taken Long Yuandan, die from a mere arrow injury?

However, the next day, Li Yu received the imperial edict sent from the capital.

To be more precise, all the vassal kings received the imperial edict, which was written by Li Ju.

In the imperial edict, Li clearly stated that his father died of serious injuries.

The country cannot have a king for a day. As the crown prince, he immediately inherited the throne.

This imperial edict that explained the situation had just been passed to Li Yu, and then the second imperial edict arrived again.

Li Juze ordered the kings to return to their respective fiefs in the tone of the emperor.

During the mourning of his father, no one should enter the capital without receiving the imperial edict.

If anyone violates the order, no matter who it is, he will be severely punished and not lent.

The intention of this imperial edict was very clear. Li Ju wanted to ascend the throne quickly, inherit the throne, control the capital, and even the court, and consolidate his throne.

He was afraid that the kings would take the opportunity to return to Beijing and fight against the throne with him.

At the end of this imperial edict given to Li Yu, Li Yu also specifically mentioned that King Li Yu of Wu could temporarily live in Pingchang County, Liangzhou.

Li Yu had just been named King of Wu, but he had not built the palace of King of Wu in Wu. At this time, he was not allowed to return to Wu, and he didn't even have a place to live.

The imperial edicts sent by the elder brother finally made Li Yu believe that his father was indeed dead.

On the way back from Wanguo, he died of aggravated arrow injuries.

It was not until this time that Li Yu was willing to wear white mourning clothes.

Not only did Li Yu wear mourning clothes, but all the entire Pingchang City, from county officials to the people, wore plain clothes, stopped drinking and banquets, and quit hundreds of plays.

All entertainment activities among the people will be stopped.

During this period, it will be maintained until the emperor is buried.

After Li Hui's body was sent back to the capital, Li was buried as the new emperor.

However, compared with the children and grandchildren in the previous life, in front of Li Hui's coffin, there was only Li Ju's family.

The other sons, including Li Yu, were ordered by Li to stay in the fiefdom, and were not allowed to leave the fiefdom, nor could they step into the capital.
