Chapter 1: People in Joy of Life, the youngest prince!

In the winter of the third year of the Qingli period, the Imperial Palace.

"The eldest prince recently sent a report saying that since the beginning of winter, the attacks of the Hu people have become more fierce."

"How dare the little Hu people repeatedly invade our Daqing border! This is simply outrageous!"

Emperor Qing's deep and powerful voice, with a bit of suppressed anger, rang out in the hall.

"Can anyone of you come up with a way to destroy it completely?"

The Hu people have been invading the border for a long time.

Unlike Northern Qi, it cannot really compete with Daqing, but it dares to attack from time to time.

The reason is that the greatest reliance is the grassland!

Every autumn and winter, the Hu people would move eastward to plunder.

During the rest of the time, they mainly engaged in nomadic activities, supplemented by small-scale invasions of the Qing State's borders.

Faced with the endless grassland, the Qing Kingdom did not dare to advance deeply and take the initiative to attack.

We can only build a city for defense and resist with all our might.

If we really have to send out a large number of troops to fight a decisive battle with the King of Western Hu, the worst that can happen is that the other side will just hide deep in the grassland.

It was obviously impossible for Qing Kingdom to continue pursuing.

At the same time, conquering the grassland requires a lot of material, human and financial resources, but the benefits are minimal.

Therefore, active defense is the best option.

Taking the initiative to attack the grassland would be an irrational behavior.

His Majesty the Emperor is naturally well aware of this.

But Emperor Qing also couldn't stand being ridden on and shitted on by a barbarian tribe that was many times weaker than the Qing Kingdom!
Seeing the silence in the hall, Emperor Qing turned his gaze to the Supervisory Council, "Chen Pingping, how do you think we can destroy these barbarians?"

Chen Pingping smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I think as long as the Qing court is united and the monarch and his subjects work together, it is only a matter of time before the Western Hu are destroyed."

This answer is equivalent to saying nothing.

"It's useless to ask." Emperor Qing was almost laughing out of anger and shifted his gaze to the heads of all officials.

"Lin Xiang, what do you think?"

Lin Ruofu didn't think about it and said directly: "Your Majesty, I know nothing about military affairs."

"However, if the war on the front line requires it, I and the six ministries will do our best to assist you."

Emperor Qing really laughed this time.

The logistics work was originally the responsibility of Prime Minister Lin Ruofu, so Lin Ruofu’s statement was actually no different from a fart.

"Your Majesty, if you want to talk about other things, I don't understand, but if you mention war, then I will be excited!"

The old general Qin Ye immediately stood up.

"As long as your majesty gives the order, even if I have to sacrifice my old bones, I will beat the Hu people so that they will never dare to set foot on the border of Qing Kingdom again!"

Emperor Qing was very satisfied with General Qin's attitude, but he wanted more than just this result.

Not to mention Qin Ye's action, even if the eldest prince was guarding the border now, the Western Hu King's tent would be in great trouble.

Basically, there is little advantage at the border.

But this is far from enough for Emperor Qing!

He wanted the Hu people to no longer have the ability to invade Qing State, not just temporary border stability!

However, how easy is it to eliminate the Hu people?

Unless he destroyed the grassland and left the Hu people with no place to stay, this would be impossible!

But how can the grassland be destroyed so easily?
Even if he set fire to the grassland, it could only ensure that no Hu people would live in this area for a short period of time.

As long as we wait until spring, the burned grassland will gradually recover, and the Hu people will not be affected much at all!

In this situation, it seems that the only way is to deal with Northern Qi first so that we can have the energy to fully deal with the threat from Western Hu.

Emperor Qing swept his disappointed eyes across the entire palace, and waved his hands feebly, "I am tired..." "Your Majesty, I do have an immature suggestion."

A slightly childish voice interrupted him.

Emperor Qing was stunned for a moment and looked in the direction of the voice with a look of surprise.

At this moment, there was also surprise in the hall.

None of the ministers in the court could solve the problem of the Western Hu, so which fool dared to say such a thing?

And more people realized the next moment that the man who just spoke called himself "son and minister".

In other words... these words came from a prince!
So far, apart from the eldest prince leading the troops, only the crown prince and the second prince are qualified to participate in politics.

As for the third and fourth princes, they were too young and naturally had no place to attend the court meetings.

However, neither the Crown Prince nor the Second Prince seemed like the type of person who could make such shocking statements.

Who would that be?
Could it be that someone is pretending to be the prince? !
If this really happens, things will become serious!
However, when the ministers searched the hall, they could not find the source of the sound.

But a handsome young man with a childish face and righteousness appeared at the palace gate.

"hiss!"

The ministers immediately took a breath of cold air.

Isn't this the youngest of the four princes? !
Li Chengde was stared at in surprise by everyone, but his expression did not change at all.

His real name is Lun Hui. More than ten years ago, he hit a great fortune unexpectedly and was bound to the Reincarnation System of All Worlds before his death.

As long as you go through reincarnation for thousands of years, you can become an immortal!
In his first life, he traveled to the world of Joy of Life and became the youngest prince.

But on the second day after he was born, his mother suddenly died, which sounded the alarm for him!

The inner court of the imperial palace is full of dangers!
He immediately decided not to act in a high-profile manner.

Over the years, he used the novice gift packages he received from the system to gradually build up his own power.

Now, it's time to show your talents!

After all, items in the system mall require experience points to redeem, and there is only one source of experience points, which is to deeply participate in the plot!

"Oh? All the civil and military officials in the court can't come up with an idea. Are you better than them?"

Emperor Qing's words put Li Chengde in the spotlight.

The civil and military officials in the hall looked at him with something not quite right in their eyes.

However, they did not believe it. Li Chengde was just a child of ten years old. How could he possibly deal with the Xihu?

He probably just wanted to take the opportunity to attract attention and show his face in front of His Majesty the Emperor!

"It's very simple. Just destroy the grassland."

Li Chengde's words will not stop until they are shocking.

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole court was in an uproar.

"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, you are taking it for granted!"

"Your Highness, you have never seen a grassland, right? How could such a large grassland be destroyed artificially?!"

"Your Highness is still too young and has no basic knowledge of the grasslands. I can totally understand that!"

"Your Highness, are you planning to burn down the grassland? That's really unrealistic!"

Li Chengde glanced at the ministers and asked, "Who said I want to burn the grasslands in the west?"

The ministers were stunned again.

Didn't you say you wanted to destroy the grassland? Wouldn't the simplest way be to just set it on fire?
Why don't you admit it again?
Li Chengde did not explain this, but his next words made all the civil and military officials open their eyes wide.

"Not only will I not set fire to the grassland, I will also do business with the Hu people and let them develop the grassland well!"

"Um?!"
