The Imperial Palace court.
Civil and military officials gathered together.
At the topmost seat, a solitary figure was clad in a dark robe embroidered with mountains, rivers, social order, sun and moon, and two celestial bodies. His crown adorned his head, and on his face, sculpted with sharp edges by the knife and axe, traces of white could be seen at his temples.
But even so.
He sat upon the imperial throne, and at all times emanated a terrifying aura, making people afraid to look directly at him.
Qin Huang!
Ancient mystery!
Now.
In the hall, there was almost complete silence, except for one person who stepped forward to report.
>Half a month ago, millions of barbarians launched a large-scale attack on the Dahuang Mansion. Within just a few days, eighteen cities were breached, with over 200,000 soldiers killed in battle and more than one million civilians dead or wounded.
Later, the city lord of Xuancheng, Nan Gongyu, led the Black Tiger Army to resist, thus suppressing the barbarian invaders' advance.
Now, the barbarian forces are menacingly advancing. Within the Great Wilderness Mansion, military resources are limited. Nangong Yu specially submitted a plea, hoping the imperial court would send reinforcements.

That's all.
That person had gone back.
Gu Xuanji looked down at the officials below, his expression unchanged.
>
"My lords, what are your thoughts on the barbarian invasion of Dahua Prefecture"
>
"Your Majesty!"

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
An old man with a goat's beard walked out from the side and bowed in return.
“My Great Qin is a superior nation, incomparable to barbarians. Now that the barbarian tribes invade the Great Wilderness Prefecture, it's clear they don't regard the Great Qin in their eyes.”
The minister believes that one must definitely punish millions of barbarians with the might of thunder, and establish the prestige that a great Qin should have.
Otherwise, it is easy to be looked down upon by others!
That said.
Another person soon stepped forward.
“I agree with Wen Taishi's words. Our Great Qin is a superior nation, how can we allow the barbarians to run rampant For these years, we have tolerated the barbarians raiding our borders and haven't sent troops into their territory because they haven't posed much of a threat.”
But now the barbarians dare to attack the Great Wilderness Mansion and destroy the heart of my great Qin.
This matter cannot retreat, we must drive the barbarians out of Dahuang Prefecture completely.

"I agree!"
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
"We agree!"
All the officials in the court were in unanimous agreement on the matter of whether to send reinforcements.
In their eyes.
The barbarians have no qualifications to challenge the Great Qin. In the past, the Great Qin has not attacked their barbaric lands, and this is already showing them face. Now they dare to invade Dayan Mansion, which is simply digging a grave for themselves under the nose of Tai Sui (a mythical being representing good fortune).

General Weiguo, bowing deeply, said in a solemn voice: "I am willing to lead troops to reinforce the Dahuang Prefecture."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Hmm."
Gu Xuanji nodded slightly, but did not immediately agree. Instead, he looked at an elderly man who had been standing there calmly the whole time, seemingly uninvolved in the discussion.
What are your thoughts on the recent barbarian invasion, Fu Cheng
Upon hearing this.
The old man who had remained silent all along slowly bowed his hand.
"Your Majesty, I believe the barbarian invasion of Dahua Prefecture must have other backing. Although the barbarians are currently cooperating with demons from the Eternal Life Alliance, a single alliance alone should not be enough to embolden them."
Moreover, the fact that the Barbarians cooperated with the Immortal Alliance definitely suggests ulterior motives.
After all, demons are not human. When it comes to a showdown, even the barbarians won't be able to withstand them.
Upon hearing this.
Many people fell into deep thought.
They had considered this issue, but no one had spoken up about it.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
After all, barbarian invasions of Dahua Prefecture are currently being dealt with primarily by sending troops to suppress them. The rest can wait and be considered after the barbarians have been subdued.
Gu Xuanji pondered for a moment.
“Indeed, the barbarian invasion of Dahua Prefecture this time came without warning, yet it was clearly well-prepared.”
Speaking of which.
He looked in another direction.
“Has there been any news from the Demon Suppression Division beforehand”
"Reporting to Your Majesty, recently demons have wreaked havoc across the Qin Dynasty. Demon Suppression Departments across the land are doing their utmost to suppress them. We haven't received much news as of yet."
Dong Fang respectfully bowed and replied.
As the commander of the Imperial Demon Suppression Division, he was not an ordinary commander who could be compared to. He could attend court meetings during ordinary times.
Most of the time, the Eastern Imperial Decree is just going through the motions and rarely speaks up.
“I believe in Tianchawei’s intelligence capabilities. If the problem doesn’t lie within the Qin Empire, then it must be elsewhere. I hope to receive some useful information within a month.”
I wonder if the Demon Suppression Division could accomplish this
Gu Xuanji's voice was calm.
Orient's official kept his face impassive and bowed his head in reply: "Your Majesty has given an order, I dare not disobey. The Demon Suppression Division will definitely do its utmost to investigate this matter, striving to report back to Your Majesty within a month!"
“It’s not about striving, but certainty.”
Gu Xuanji emphasized again.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Your servant obeys your command!"
"Moreover, the barbarian invasion of Dayuan Prefecture is a provocation to the majesty of the Great Qin. If the Great Qin does not take action, it will inevitably make others see that we are weak. Wei Gao, come forward and receive your orders!"
Gu Xuanji's face suddenly turned solemn, his voice now icy cold.

After he spoke.
He excelled among others.
"I am here!"
"I have entrusted you with leading the Hòulín Army to reinforce Dàhuāngfǔ and cooperate with Nángōng Yù in keeping all one million barbarians. Do you think you are capable of doing this"
"The minister will certainly not disgrace the imperial decree!"
Wei Gao Zheng received the order solemnly.
"Great!"
Gu Xuanji nodded in satisfaction.
"May he one day hear the good news from the Dahua Mansion. If there is nothing else, then let us adjourn for now!"
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Leaving the court meeting, Dongfang Zhao didn't mingle with the other civil and military officials. He simply left the palace alone.
Back to the Demon Suppression Division.
Zhou Yuanzheng had been waiting there for a long time.
How was the court this time Were there any changes
“His Majesty has ordered me to, within a month, investigate any forces behind the barbarians besides the Eternal Alliance,” Dongfang Zhao said with a slight shake of his head, recounting everything that had happened today.
When he finished speaking, Zhou Yuanzheng's face had turned as dark as night.
"Barbarians dare to attack the Dahuang Mansion, they must have come prepared. To find out the forces behind them wouldn't be so easy."
A month's time, isn't that a bit too rushed!
That's it.
Zhou Yuan's heart also rose a sliver of dissatisfaction.
“Your Majesty’s decision today seems rather targeted towards us!”
"That's normal too."
The Eastern Proclamation seemed to have expected this long ago, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Since the establishment of the Demon Suppression Division, its power has grown day by day. Both within and outside the court, civil and military officials, how many are not afraid and wary of the Demon Suppression Division
"It's understandable that Your Majesty is exerting some pressure on the Demonic Suppression Division, now and then."
Power surpasses the master!
Suppression is indispensable.
If there were no suppression, and the Town Demon Division continued to exist peacefully, Dongfang Zhao would have many things to worry about.
>
Now in the court.
Gu Xuanji openly suppressed the Demon Suppression Division, yet it brought him a sense of relief.
There is suppression.
>
Then it means the Demon Suppression Office can't be moved lightly.
Otherwise, if the imperial court really wanted to abolish the Demon Suppression Division, it would definitely not reveal any clues beforehand.
To put it simply.
The Demon Suppression Division is different from others. It's not just about removing it, once the Demon Suppression Division is removed, it will involve a lot of things.
Upon hearing this.
Zhou Yuan's face had calmed slightly.
Here is the translation of your text:">
" Please note that without context, I am assuming " >" refers to the literal HTML tags you provided. If this is not the case, please provide more context and I'll be happy to assist further!
"You mean to say that His Majesty is suppressing the Demon Taming Division, creating an opportunity for the royal family"
Perhaps.
Dongfang Zhao shook his head slightly.
The lifespan of a warrior is limited, and so far, no one has been able to break through it. Your Majesty has reigned for seventy-three years, and now the remaining time is also dwindling. The Demon Suppression Division is at its peak, and the new emperor ascending the throne may not be able to suppress it.
This is a response to your request. Let me know if you have any other questions or tasks.
Weakening some of the Demon Suppression Division's strength beforehand would actually benefit the new emperor.
I'm just worried that today's court meeting isn't over. There might be other schemes against the Demon Suppression Division in the future. If we don't handle it well, it could cause a huge problem.
To be near the ruler is like being beside a tiger.
No one knows when, a wrong word might be spoken, leading to self-destruction.
Don't underestimate the Zhenmosi, though powerful, it ultimately relies on the Qin Dynasty's foundation.
If the imperial court is determined to destroy the Demon Suppression Division, then the Demon Suppression Division will also find it very difficult to resist.
To be frank.
The imperial court didn't obliterate the Demon Suppression Division, merely targeting a portion of its members was enough to give them a headache.
Zhou Yuan's heart understood. He sighed heavily.
He also understood the difficulties Dongfang Zhao was facing.
Therefore, whenever there was a court meeting, he almost always let the other party go and rarely involved himself.
After all.
When it comes to dealing with people, Dongfang Zhao would be more gentle. His personality is impulsive, and he might make rash moves at some point, which will inevitably cause bigger problems.
>
Thinking about it.
Then Zhou Yuanzheng said again, "So you haven't mentioned Shen Changqing's matter in court either"
>
"Your Majesty is well aware of this matter, and since he hasn't brought it up, I shouldn't either. Let's put this aside for now. When the time comes, my Demon Suppression Division will offer rewards internally to appease the people."
The Eastern Emperor shook his head.
Killing a barbarian general is indeed a meritorious deed.
In the past, this alone would have been enough to gain promotion and advancement.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If it were anyone else, the imperial court would definitely not be short of rewards, but Shen Changqing being from the Demon Suppression Division means something completely different.
The Demon Suppression Division was riding high at the moment, and the imperial court wanting to put a damper on their power wouldn't even be able to offer any rewards.
Of course.
Since he dared to speak openly about it in court, Gu Xuanji wouldn't do nothing. But that would undoubtedly make the situation of the Demon Suppression Division even more dangerous.
Therefore.
It's better left unsaid.
Everyone understood implicitly, and the matter was dropped.
Zhou Yuan was saying, "If it's just the rewards given by the Demon Suppression Division, I worry he might have some dissatisfaction. A warrior who has already reached the Tiger-Leopard Thunder Sound stage at such a young age, if he develops dissatisfaction with the Demon Suppression Division, it could be a considerable loss."
Don't worry, the Demonic Suppression Division still has some resources. We'll definitely give you what you deserve.
The Eastern Command was clearly well-prepared.
"Speaking of which, I'm thinking of having him join the Inner Sanctuary."
"The Secret Room"
Zhou Yuan's face stiffened.
"Those old fellows at the Quintessential Pavilion haven't been recruiting for a while, have they They might not agree to have Shen Changqing join."
For those who devoted themselves to the Hidden Pavilion, he felt very helpless.
If you want to talk about the most troublesome people in Zhenmosi, it's not those Zhenshousi, but those old antiques in Qinxing Pavilion.
Oriental Ming smiled slightly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“Rest assured, the people of The Hidden Pavilion will not refuse Shen Changqing's joining.”
>r, are you sure you can withstand such a being""If Your Lordship were to reach the level of a Divine Monarch, with the combined strength of this old man, there might be some chance of resistance. But...
