Chapter 884 Six-Council Meeting (Update)
"Since the head of Tianji Academy and the head of Tianfu Academy have finished their statements, it is time to listen to the opinions of others." Seeing that both Tianji Academy and Tianfu Academy had expressed their attitudes, the Holy Emperor immediately looked at Ye Shi Bingquan and asked, "Regarding the signing of a peace treaty between Jijing and Miaojiang, I wonder what the military commander thinks?"

Ye Shi Bingquan only responded coldly with two words, "Reject."

With Pojun Mansion's statement, a two-to-one situation emerged at the scene.

Shi Dao Hou took this opportunity to say to Lu Bingxian: "Master Tianliang, I think you need to think twice about your judgment."

As the weakest of the three academies, Lu Bingxian is well versed in the ways of being an official and tends to be a fence-sitter.

After being provoked by Shi Daohou, he immediately changed his position and said, "Saint Emperor, I think the ideas of the military commander and the head of Tianfu Academy also make sense."

Zhan Longwen couldn't help but sneer when he saw this, "Ha~"

After hearing the voice, Shi Dao Hou deliberately asked Zhan Long Wen: "I wonder what the master of Tianji Academy has to say about this?"

Zhan Longwen replied jokingly: "Nothing, I just remembered something happy."

Although he did not understand what Zhan Longwen meant, he could sense the irony in his words. Shi Daohou's anger was provoked again, "Zhan Longwen, you!"

"Okay, don't argue anymore." The Holy Emperor mediated the conflict between the two again, and then said: "I think what Zhan Yuan said makes sense. The purpose of the Six Councils is to gather ideas and formulate policies in advance when facing the future difficulties of Jijing. Even if Kujing has the heart of a tiger or a wolf, with the strength of Jijing, it is as safe as a mountain. On the contrary, signing a peace treaty with Miaojiang can obtain a large area of ​​fertile land needed by Jijing without any loss, which is a better way."

Shi Dao Hou understood the meaning of the Saint Emperor's words and asked, "From what the Saint Emperor said, he doesn't intend to get involved in the Bitter Realm."

The Holy Emperor never intended to start another war, so he replied: "Although Jijing is poor, the people live and work in peace. After signing the peace treaty with Miaojiang, the large tracts of fertile land will be enough for the people of Jijing to live a prosperous life. Coupled with trade with Miaojiang, peaceful coexistence is the most correct way for Jijing to gain a foothold in the bitter world in the future."

Shi Dao Hou still insisted on his own opinion, "Saint Emperor, if Heaven does not take it, then you will suffer the consequences."

"Well, I'll let you meet the envoy from Miao first, and then make a choice." Seeing that Marquis Shidao was determined, the Holy Emperor ordered the King of Gold to summon the young envoy from Hemeng.

"Young Envoy Hemeng from the Miao Region pays homage to the Holy Emperor." Young Envoy Hemeng, who had been prepared for a long time, came in front of everyone, carrying a huge map on his back.

Seeing that the young envoy of Hemeng had a lot of inner essence and a good cultivation, Shi Daohou asked, "You are the envoy of Miaojiang. I wonder how strong you are in Miaojiang?"

The Hemeng envoy replied truthfully: "My strength can only be considered average in Miao territory."

"Average?" Ye Shibingquan thought secretly after listening.

The Holy Emperor asked at the right moment: "Young Envoy Hemeng, what is behind you?"

The Hemeng envoy took the scroll off his back and said to the Holy Emperor, "This is the map of the Fertile Crescent that I talked to the Holy Emperor about yesterday. This map was drawn by a skilled craftsman from the Miao region, and it is more detailed. I brought it here today for you to see."

"Oh, come quickly." The Holy Emperor immediately asked Envoy Hemon to open the map.

As soon as the map was opened, the mountains, rivers and hydrology of the Fertile Crescent appeared before everyone in the Purple Palace. This map was so detailed that all the mineral resources were clearly marked.

After watching, Zhan Longwen exclaimed: "Jijing has only been in Kujing for a few days and has not yet understood the situation outside. I didn't expect that Miaojiang has already known the details of the Fertile Crescent. We are not as good as them."

When Zhan Longwen said this, he was talking to Shi Dao Hou.

The meaning is very clear. You, Marquis Shidao, are going to start a war and seize the fertile land of the Crescent.

As it turned out, people had already explored the land long ago, and even knew what was produced there.

Once the war starts, will Jijing fight head-on?
Shi Dao Hou naturally understood the meaning of the War Dragon Mark, but he couldn't get angry in front of everyone, so he could only ask the He Meng Envoy: "Messenger, how do we know whether this map is authentic?
The Hemeng envoy replied directly: "As long as the peace treaty is signed, Jijing and our Miaojiang will send people to demarcate the border. When the time comes, we will send people to check and find out the truth. Can our Miaojiang deceive you?"

The Holy Emperor said at this time: "Minister Hemeng, please tell everyone present about the difficult situation you told me yesterday."

"Since the Holy Emperor has asked, how can I refuse?" The young envoy He Meng explained the current situation of the Bitter Realm to everyone present one by one, "The current situation in the Bitter Realm is divided into three major forces... this and that, this and that..."

After the Hemeng envoy explained the division of power among the three dynasties in the Bitter Realm and the specific division of the Fertile Crescent, Shi Daohou asked, "As the envoy said, the Bitter Realm is now a three-way confrontation."

Before coming, Young Envoy Hemeng, who had already had a clear understanding of the forces and factions in Jijing, had a general understanding of the identities of everyone present through the conversation just now and the secret guidance of the War Dragon Pattern.

Seeing that it was the pro-war Marquis Shidao who was speaking, the Hemeng Envoy frankly admitted, "That's right. It is indeed as the Tianfu Court said, it is a three-way confrontation."

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts." Marquis Shidao then said to the Holy Emperor: "Holy Emperor, I have finished my questions."

The Holy Emperor knew that the next thing to be discussed could not be discussed in front of the Miao envoys, so he immediately said to the Hemeng envoy: "Thank you for your help. Please go down and have a rest. When the discussion has a result, I will inform you as soon as possible."

"Um."

After the Hemeng envoy left, the Holy Emperor asked everyone present: "Everyone, after listening to what Hemeng envoy said, you should have a certain understanding of the current situation in the bitter world."

Shi Dao Hou still insisted on the strategy of attacking the Bitter Realm, "Saint Emperor, after being despised by the Miao envoys, the Bitter Realm is now divided into three factions. Although it is peaceful on the surface, there must be conflicts in secret. This is the opportunity for me to gather the realm."

Zhan Longwen retorted, "Didn't the head of Tianfu hear what the young envoy of Hemeng said just now? Although the Bitter Realm is now divided into three dynasties, the Yuyu Dynasty is preparing for a war with the Dead Country and has no time to care about other things. The Ziyao Dynasty needs to digest the land of the Destroyed Realm and the problems of the three religions in the Central Plains, so it will not take any action. The only border with Jijing is Miaojiang. According to the head of Tianfu, is it going to mobilize troops against Miaojiang, the only Jijing that has shown goodwill?"

Shi Daohou said as a matter of course: "Those who accomplish great things do not care about trivial matters. As long as we conquer Miaojiang, we can look down upon Ziyaotian Dynasty and Yuyu Dynasty. When there are changes in the two countries, we can advance and sweep across the bitter land. If we retreat, we can defend the northern martial world. By then, how can the world of our Jijing be restricted by this little piece of land?"

“Ha~”

Just as Marquis Shidao was speaking passionately, a light laugh rang out, extremely clearly in the ears of everyone present.
