Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

The air inside the main hall was unusually stuffy and hot, as if one were trapped inside a jar and then roasted by a fire.

After an unknown amount of time, the Emperor Wu glanced at the assembled officials and then asked, "The Great Xia army is advancing with overwhelming force. Do any of you ministers have a good strategy to repel the enemy?"

Upon hearing this, the ministers all lowered their heads, as if they had not heard what the Empress had said.

At this point, what other options do they have? Moreover, the Great Xia has celestial beings, and the only possibility for the Great Wu to defeat the Great Xia is that the Great Wu also has celestial beings in charge.

However, if the Great Wu had a celestial being in charge, how could the Great Xia have occupied half of the Great Wu's territory in such a short time?

Seeing that no one in the court spoke, Emperor Wu clapped his hands together, smashing the armrests of the dragon throne to pieces. The next moment, Emperor Wu got up from the dragon throne and left the hall.

Soon, Emperor Wu arrived at the Imperial Study. He looked at the scenery outside the Imperial Study, lost in thought.

The Great Wu has no celestial beings; based on this alone, the Great Wu has no hope.

The thought that his ancestors' legacy was about to be ruined in his hands caused the Emperor Wu's inner energy to surge wildly.

At this moment, the Martial Emperor slammed his fist on the windowsill, smashing the entire windowsill down.

Is there really no other way?

"I am not reconciled!"

"Why does that kid have so much support from the Celestials?!"

"Why should Great Xia be allowed to possess those weapons!"

"Why should I?!"

As the Martial Emperor roared, his true energy raged through the room, destroying everything inside.

Just as the Empress was going berserk, a soldier outside the study said, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess has sent a letter."

Upon hearing this, the Martial Emperor let out a cold laugh.

When that unfilial daughter sends a letter at this time, it's obvious what it contains: she's urging me to surrender and hand over the entire Wu family's legacy to that brat from the Great Xia!

Thinking of this, the Martial Emperor grew even angrier, but he finally spoke, saying, "Bring it in!"

The next moment, a soldier entered the imperial study and handed the letter written by Wu Yunwan to Emperor Wu. Emperor Wu took the letter, tore open the envelope, and glanced at it.

Upon reading the contents of the letter, Emperor Wu frowned. It was indeed much as he had thought; Wu Yunwan's letter was an attempt to persuade him to surrender.

However, Wu Yunwan added a lot of content to the letter. For example, she revealed her current cultivation level and told Emperor Wu that she was already pregnant with Lu Chen's child.

Upon seeing the contents of Wu Junwan's letter, the Empress suddenly realized something.

He never believed that Wu Yunwan, that unfilial daughter, would be willing to give up the power in her hands. Now it seems that this unfilial daughter is indeed reluctant to give up the power in her hands, but she seems to have some other ideas.

Could it be that this unfilial daughter is planning to engage in palace intrigue in the Great Xia Dynasty, become the Empress of Great Xia, and eventually make her child the Crown Prince of Great Xia, or even the future Emperor, while she herself becomes the Empress Dowager who holds power behind the scenes?

The Martial Emperor sneered. This unfilial daughter was treating Lu Chen like a fool. The fact that Lu Chen was able to gain the support of four Celestials meant that he must have something special about him.

That unfilial daughter, after the Great Wu Dynasty was destroyed, without the support of the entire Great Wu Dynasty behind her, how could she seize the position of Empress, and how could she help her child become the Crown Prince?

However, if Wu Yunwan were to break through and become a Celestial Being, all of this wouldn't be impossible.

However, becoming a Celestial is not so easy; the Great Wu has yet to produce a Celestial.

At this moment, Empress Wu clearly misunderstood Wu Yunwan's meaning, but precisely because she misunderstood Wu Yunwan's meaning, Empress Wu felt much better.

He secretly hoped that one day Wu Junwan's child would become the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.

When Wu Yunwan's child became the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, it was as if her bloodline had been continued. The thought of this filled the Empress with a sense of joy.

……

At this moment.

Great Xia, Yancheng.

Lu Chen was busy in the Imperial Study when Bai Qingqing's voice rang out from outside, "Your Majesty, Commander Qin and Consort Yue request an audience."

Lu Chen said calmly, "Come in, all of you."

Then Qin Yushan and Dongfang Longyue entered the study.

Upon entering the study, the two exclaimed in unison, "Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"

Lu Chen put down his pen, looked up at Dongfang Longyue, and said, "Longyue, what's the matter? You can speak first."

Dongfang Longyue said, "Your Majesty, the first batch of books on basic knowledge has been printed, with two hundred copies of each type."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was slightly surprised. The printing plant was quite efficient, managing to print so many books in such a short time.

The first batch of basic knowledge books included many books, with two hundred copies printed for each category. The first batch alone had at least a thousand copies. It seems the printing plant has probably been working through the night recently.

Lu Chen then said, "Send these books to the people on the list I gave you last time, and let them take a look first."

At this point, Lu Chen seemed to remember something and continued, "Come to my side."

Without the slightest hesitation, Dongfang Longyue walked directly in front of Lu Chen. Lu Chen slowly raised his hand, the tip of his index finger touching Dongfang Longyue's forehead.

The next moment, Lu Chen mobilized all his spiritual power and used the supernatural ability [Enlightenment].

In an instant, a flood of unfamiliar knowledge rushed into Dongfang Longyue's mind. The physics and chemistry knowledge from Earth immediately stunned Dongfang Longyue.

She never imagined the world would be like this.

Lu Chen was also extremely surprised. He hadn't expected that with just a thought, he could impart some of his knowledge to others. This supernatural power was simply amazing.

At this moment, Dongfang Longyue had not yet reacted. Lu Chen then said, "This is the knowledge I have imparted to you. Go back today and digest it properly. If there is any knowledge that interests you, you can look up the books in the library."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Dongfang Longyue finally came to her senses. She quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for imparting this precious knowledge to me."

Dongfang Longyue continued, "Your Majesty, with the opening of the library, there will be more and more things to do. I would like to ask Your Majesty for more manpower."

Although Dongfang Longyue is in charge of the library, she is also responsible for the dissemination of knowledge, and these two tasks combined make her quite busy.

So she decided to ask Lu Chen for a few more people. Of course, she didn't want people to do the work, but rather managers.

Lu Chen searched his mind for suitable people for library work, and then a person came to mind. He then said, "I'll send you another person in a few days."

Dongfang Longyue continued to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"This concubine takes her leave!"

Then Dongfang Longyue turned and left the Imperial Study.

After Dongfang Longyue left, Lu Chen's gaze fell on Qin Yushan. "Commander Qin, have you received any important intelligence recently?"

Qin Yushan quickly stepped forward and placed the two envelopes on the desk in front of Lu Chen.

"One of these two letters is a report on the Great Qian plague, and the other is intelligence about the northern barbarians."

Upon hearing Qin Yushan's words, Lu Chen quickly opened one of the letters and began to read it carefully.

After reading the contents of the first letter, Lu Chen frowned slightly.
