Anyone, when they hear that the entire institution where they work is going to be disbanded, would immediately get anxious.

Ke Su Zhen Ting only froze for a moment, then surprisingly said: "The Five Armies Duhufu, there is indeed no need for it to exist."

Li Chen's decision to disband the Five Armies Inspectorate was not made without careful consideration.

But this time, while things did happen that couldn't be said to have no impact, it merely pushed Li Chen's plan forward.

The Office of the Inspector General of Military Affairs, must be abolished, otherwise this institution will directly affect the future East Palace's control over the army.

The Wujun Dushifu, originally established as the Supreme Commander's Mansion by Emperor Taizu during his founding of the nation, was later renamed the Privy Council of Military Affairs and then the Five Armies Inspectorate, continuing to this day.

Li Chen spoke slowly: "At first, this institution was only to assist the Taizu Emperor in monitoring the world's troops and horses. It could be considered the highest command system of the Qin Empire's army.

Looking at Su Zhenti, Li Chen said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I can be honest with you. Since the Taizu Emperor, the Great Qin Empire has always promoted culture over martial arts. The fundamental reason is that the imperial power needs to balance the power of the ministers. While a rebellion led by civil officials is unlikely to succeed, a rebellion led by military generals poses a grave threat to the country and its people. Therefore, this basic national policy will undergo some changes under my reign, but its essence will remain unchanged."

Li Chen's words were extremely bold.ply cannot be as generous as they are. Even these few taels of silver were pieced together by my family members and mother. It was truly difficult for me to bring them...""It's nothing to be ashamed o...
