"Your Majesty, this is Weichen's family! Hurry, come over and ask the emperor for peace!" King Ding pointed to the group of people behind him and said to Liu Fei.

"Caomin Wei Dingguo knocks to see the emperor, long live, long live, long live!" Wei Dingguo, who was behind King Ding, asked Liu Fei for peace.

"The last general, Wei Dingmin, knocked to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live. "Watching the eldest brother Wei Dingguo ask Liu Fei for peace, Wei Dingmin also came with him.

"The two of you are quickly exempt from courtesy! Dingguo Dingmin, the old prince has been serving the country and the people all his life, Wei Dingmin, are you serving in Han Xin's Ice Armor Legion?" Hearing the introduction of Wei Dingguo and Wei Dingmin's brothers, Liu Fei admired this old prince even more, his life was hard, his military achievements were abundant, and his children really had to fight for their stomachs. Don't let them use their own names to win any benefits and fame and fortune, this is the old general who really thinks about Xinhan Jiangshan Sheji.

"Back to the emperor, the last general served in the Ice Armor Legion, and now he is the captain of the Sixth Rank Zhiguo. Hearing Liu Fei's inquiry, Wei Dingmin hurriedly stood up and replied.

"Okay, okay, the old general has a successor. Old prince, please sit down, come here, serve tea to the prince. Liu Fei sat back in his place and instructed Xiao Guizi, who was waiting outside the door.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After King Ding thanked Liu Fei, he sat upright on the chair and waited for Liu Fei's question.

"Old prince, what do you think of the next development of my Xin Han Kingdom now?" Liu Fei asked Wei Zhongquan with a heart of inquiry, after all, he is a person who has experienced countless battles and made countless achievements, and he has seen more of the world than he has eaten.

"Your Majesty, the king of eternal sainthood, inherited the legacy of the first emperor, and wholeheartedly developed the Xin and Han dynasties, and now it has begun to appear in scale. However, Your Majesty, the situation in the world has changed drastically, and if we want the country's long-term peace and stability, we must sweep away the uncertainties that exist externally. Wei Zhongquan first praised Liu Fei, and then gave him a euphemistic mention, which means that guarding the homeland for peace will never last long, and in the eternal continent where the world is changing, there has always been endless killing.

"Old prince, you are right, I also know, but the basic national strength of the Xinhan Kingdom is too weak, and I need to improve the basic national strength first in order to be able to support the loss of the war. Liu Fei replied to him, which means that I also want to fight in all directions, but the helpless thing is that the country can't support such a huge war loss.

"Your Majesty, it can be said that it has been 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, maybe when we develop, it will be an opportunity for others to seek a breakthrough in development. What we need is to survive in the cracks of war, and the best choice is to feed the war with war. Wei Zhongquan analyzed to Liu Fei.

"Haha, the old prince deserves to be the old prince, listening to your words, it's better than reading a book for ten years!" Liu Fei's concerns disappeared without a trace under Wei Zhongquan's guidance, Wei Zhongquan was right, he wholeheartedly sought to develop himself first in a stable environment, but others also think the same, he also needs a stable internal and external environment to develop himself, in this way, not only did he not open the gap with them, but it is more likely that the gap between the two will be shortened.

"Your Majesty's genius, the old minister just said what was in his heart!"

"By the way, old prince, I still have a question to ask the prince!" Liu Fei suddenly thought that the problem he had been thinking about for a long time might be able to help him solve it.

"Your Majesty, please speak, if the old minister knows and can share the worries for His Majesty, the old minister will be the envoy. ”

"Old prince, why are the generals who followed you to fight in the Quartet disappear one by one?" Liu Fei was very suspicious, now the generalissimos of the eight legions of the Xin Han Kingdom, except for Huang Zhong and Li Guang, are all rising stars who were slowly cultivated in the later period, and none of the generals who first fought in the Quartet have served in the court, which makes Liu Fei feel very strange.

"Is Your Majesty asking about the generals in the army back then?" Wei Zhongquan stood up and asked, as soon as he mentioned the events of that year, Wei Zhongquan seemed extremely excited, as if he was a great general who carried a knife and went on the battlefield to fight.

"That's right, I have taken a general look, except for the two old generals Huang Zhong and Li Guang in the active army, I can't find the veteran generals who fought for my father and the Xin Han Kingdom back then. ”

"When they returned to the emperor, some of them had turned into yellow sand and were buried on the battlefield with thousands of soldiers, shrouded in horse leather; some of them withdrew from the barracks and went home to retire and become self-reliant. Wei Zhongquan said this, a deep tear fell from the corner of his eyes, who can understand his pain, the soldiers around him went out with him one by one, but they couldn't come back with him, they all watched them die on the battlefield.

"Quitting the barracks and going home to retire?" They are not very old, why would they quit the barracks back then, let alone go home to retire?" Liu Fei asked puzzledly, generally saying goodbye to the old and returning to their hometowns, not all those who go home to retire are old, or they are demoted home by the imperial court, how can a group of young people go home to retire.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that since the old age of the Emperor, he has been tired of war, and in addition, there has been relative peace between the countries of the Eternal Continent, and there is no longer a lot of war. Therefore, they no longer pay attention to the military generals, but they are kind to the civil officials of the imperial court, so they are cold, and they all write to ask for the old man to return to his hometown, and the emperor also allows them to go home to support the elderly, which leads to the current situation. ”

"Oh, I see, I didn't expect the emperor to pay more attention to literature and light military force in his later years!" Liu Fei muttered, those emperors in history are also like him, when the war is chaotic, they will emphasize military force and light literature, once the war subsides, the military generals are not so important, and the rest is only the matter of civil officials, therefore, in relative peacetime, the emperor is generally heavy on civil affairs and light on military force, after all, military generals hold heavy power, and the threat to the emperor is quite large.

"Your Majesty, this cannot be blamed on the former emperor's emphasis on literature and light on military force, the former emperor should have had a premonition, he should have known that his limit was approaching, and he had no choice but to do it! If he did not send the generals who held military power back home, he was worried that His Majesty was too young to deter these generals who followed the emperor to fight the country. "Wei Zhongquan can be said to have a thorough understanding of the emperor, he can see everything arranged by the emperor in his later years, in order to let Liu Fei'an sit on the throne safely, it is necessary to deal with a group of generals who hold military power, otherwise with Liu Fei's young age, I am afraid that he will not be able to deter them.

"My father's arrangement for his sons and ministers is really well-intentioned, and he would rather be burdened with the accusation of forgetting his loyal ministers, and the insults of birds hiding their bows and rabbits and dead dogs, but also to create a good environment for me to ascend the throne! Liu Fei didn't understand until now why he ascended the throne so smoothly, it turned out that all the obstacles had been cleared by the emperor in advance.
