At the tender age of eight, he was hastily dragged out and made emperor!

There is no absolute fairness in this world, but there is relative fairness. When comparing countries, especially those with similar territories and national strength, what happens in one country will happen in another, it's just a matter of time.

The essence of power is the same. Even if national conditions, national systems, and national institutions are different, those who wield power share many commonalities.

"From the perspective of our dynasty, we should consider the issue comprehensively."

Jiang Chen, with a serious expression, scanned the various expressions on the faces of the people in the hall, raised the long stick in his hand and pointed it at the map in front of him, "The most threatening dynasty is none other than the Murong Dynasty, followed by the Chuan Dynasty."

"The reason I say this is because Emperor Tuowu of the Murong Dynasty is in his prime, and the Imperial Martial Army under his command is the most elite force in the Murong Dynasty."

"As the eldest prince of the Murong Dynasty, Murong Zhen has been active in the western regions of the Murong Dynasty since he came of age. In addition to competing with the Chuan Dynasty, he also fought with several other forces."

"The Northern King I just mentioned is an absolute supporter of Murong Zhen, but no one knows that the Western King, who is eternally stationed in the Western Capital, is the same."

Zang Yu and his group listened with varying expressions.

Although they knew more or less about the Murong Dynasty, they had no way of obtaining such detailed information, and this was not just because of the difference in their status.

"Speaking of which, many people were deceived before the internal strife in the Murong Dynasty."

Jiang Chen continued, "Because when Murong Zhen was in the Western Regions, he clashed with the King of the Western Court more than once, and on several occasions, many people under both sides died."

"The two factions are locked in a life-or-death struggle, at least on the surface."

"But no one expected that after the Northern King raised an army and Murong Zhen led his troops back to the court, the one least likely to respond was actually the one who was most decisive in sending troops. This led to Murong Tuo abdicating the throne and becoming the retired emperor of the Murong Dynasty."

"The fact that the reign title was Tuowu shows that Murong Zhen was extremely ambitious."

Chu Ling narrowed his eyes, staring at the map in front of him, and said, "This is for the Murong people to see, so that everyone knows that in the battle of the Northern Frontier, the Murong Dynasty had the opportunity to break through our Northern Frontier, and then expand its territory to become the true overlord of this continent."

"I really want to meet this person."

"The fact that he was able to build up such a situation both openly and secretly under Murong Tuo's years of fear and wariness shows how deep his cunning is."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Jiang Chen bowed and said, "During the internal strife in the Murong Dynasty, Murong Zhen decisively killed a group of conservatives and eliminated a large number of people who opposed him."

"When he succeeded to the throne, he appointed the Northern King as the Privy Councilor and the Western King as the Grand Chancellor. With the support of these two, Murong Zhen was able to quickly secure his position on the throne."

"Shortly thereafter, the Murong dynasty implemented new policies, the first of which was to reform local administration, establishing circuits and dividing areas into prefectures and counties..."

Look at what that emperor did.

As Chu Ling listened to Jiang Chen's words, he felt a sense of emotion. It had only been a short time since he ascended the throne, yet he had already been able to quickly consolidate power and gradually strengthen his control over the central government and the country.

However, Chu Ling was not envious.

Without him.

Murong Zhen was much older than him, and his ability to promote various matters and decisions according to his own will after ascending the throne was inseparable from his previous actions.

Only Murong Zhen himself knows how arduous this journey was.

Opportunity always favors the prepared mind. If you are not prepared at all, even if an opportunity comes one day, it will never fall into your lap.

Chu Ling is quite satisfied with the current pace.

You have to eat one bite at a time.

To truly take control of the Great Yu, one cannot rely solely on wishful thinking and empty talk. Chu Ling must take concrete actions and build a core team of civil and military officials around him to ensure the right direction.

"If that's the case, and if our dynasty is unprepared, then once Murong Zhen has sorted out the domestic situation, he will likely launch an offensive against our dynasty."

While Chu Ling was pondering, Zang Yu frowned and stared at Jiang Chen, who was recounting the situation in the Murong Dynasty, "Does this mean that if Murong Zhen ascends the throne, other countries won't have any ideas?"

Zang Yu asked this question because he knew very well that it was impossible for the Great Yu Kingdom to recover its strength in a short period of time.

Moreover, the central government and local areas of the Great Yu were still so complex.

If the Emperor cannot quickly resolve the internal troubles of the Great Yu, and the Murong Dynasty were to invade again, it would surely be a catastrophe for the northern border of the Great Yu.

"This brings us to the Trump administration."

After receiving a signal from Chu Ling, Jiang Chen said in a low voice, "The one most dissatisfied with Murong Zhen's ascension to the throne is none other than the emperor of the Sichuan Dynasty, because the Sichuan Dynasty has invested a great deal of money in the Murong Dynasty."

"According to scattered intelligence, there are quite a few people in the Chuan Dynasty who are secretly maintaining improper relationships with the royal family and relatives of the Murong Dynasty."

"Among them is the Sixth Prince, Murong Lie."

"It was precisely because of this incident that after Murong Zhen ascended the throne, he removed Murong Lie's lineage from the royal family. All his relatives by marriage and tribes were arrested, and those who committed serious crimes were executed. The rest were exiled as slaves and never pardoned."

"!!!"

Jiang Chen's words caused Zang Yu and his group to change their expressions slightly.

"The Trump administration really likes to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries."

"That's a really despicable tactic."

"Indeed, Duke Xun was framed many times back then. If it weren't for the trust of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, Duke Xun probably wouldn't have been able to stay in Xiliang for so long."

"However, this is an opportunity for our dynasty. If we can provoke a conflict between the Murong and Chuan dynasties and make the two countries fight, then not only the northern border, but also the western Liang will be under much less pressure.

"That's what they say, but it's too difficult to put into practice. After all, both the Murong Dynasty and the Chuan Dynasty have considerable ambitions."

Then, hushed discussions arose inside the hall.

Hearing these discussions, Chu Ling, who was sitting down, smiled with satisfaction. It seemed that the ministers of the Martial Pavilion were adapting quite quickly.

Things were done one after another.

For Chu Ling, he had to balance both internal and external affairs, and could not prioritize one over the other. Both external repelling and internal pacification were tasks that needed to be done at the same time.

Judging from the internal and external situation, no one will give Chu Ling much time to solve the problems step by step and then fight one powerful enemy after another around the Great Yu.

Chu Ling wasn't stupid, and those others who were on the other side were no ordinary people either.

All plans and strategies must be closely coordinated with domestic reforms to achieve the strategic goal of gradually changing the external environment.

In the struggles and conflicts between nations, whoever has the last laugh will be determined by their foundation and potential. Whoever can't withstand the pressure first will collapse. Reality is just that cruel and ruthless.
