Chapter 492: Discussing the Expedition

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

First Year of the Holy Emperor, March.

Luoyang, inside the Court Hall.

"We, your subjects, greet Your Majesty; may Your Majesty live for ten thousand years!"

The assembled officials looked at Liu Bian sitting high on the dragon throne, bowed respectfully and neatly, and shouted in unison.

Liu Bian scanned the hundred officials majestically, gestured slightly with his hands, and said majestically:

"Beloved subjects, rise!"

After everyone stood up, the sharp voice of the Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng sounded:

"If there is any memorial, present it; if not, retire from the court!"

As the voice of the Eunuch Chief Steward Li Liangcheng fell, the Minister of Personnel, Xun Yu, immediately stood out.

He cupped his hands toward Liu Bian and said with a determined face:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this minister, Minister of Personnel Xun Yu, has a memorial to present!"

Seeing it was Xun Yu, Liu Bian said majestically to him:

"Granted!"

Hearing this, Xun Yu's body trembled.

The current Liu Bian, ever since establishing the Dynasty, had an increasingly rich Imperial Aura.

Every move was full of Imperial majesty.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, last time Your Majesty ordered this minister and the Minister of War, Lord Cao, to count the cultivation of everyone in my Han Empire."

"Now, this minister and the Ministry of War have finished counting."

"Currently, in my Han Empire, there is one person at the Innate Second Heaven, and eight people at the Innate First Heaven."

"Twenty-six people at the Postnatal Ninth Heaven, thirty people at the Postnatal Eighth Heaven, fifty people at the Postnatal Seventh Heaven, and one hundred people at the Postnatal Sixth Heaven."

"Five hundred people at the Postnatal Fifth Heaven."

"The soldiers of the six great legions have all broken through to the Postnatal First Heaven."

"Many soldiers have even broken through to the Postnatal Second Heaven."

"The one hundred thousand navy of the Han Empire have also all broken through to the Postnatal First Heaven."

"The two thousand Huben Army and five thousand Yulin Army of the Han Empire are all at the cultivation level of Postnatal First Heaven to Second Heaven."

"The garrisons of the thirteen states of the Han Empire have now all broken through to the strength of First-Rate Martial Generals!"

As Xun Yu's voice fell, the hundred officials all gasped.

"Sss..."

"I did not expect that our Han Empire would be so powerful!"

"That's right!"

"These are all thanks to His Majesty; only then could our Han have such strength!"

After the assembled officials reacted, they all shouted loudly to Liu Bian with full reverence:

"Your Majesty is wise; we, your subjects, congratulate Your Majesty!"

Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction upon hearing this.

He said to the assembled officials:

"Good, now, my Han Empire can be said to be truly strong and powerful!"

Subsequently, Liu Bian asked everyone again:

"Is there anyone else who has a memorial to present?"

"Your Majesty, this minister has a memorial to present!"

At this time, the Minister of Rites, Cai Yong, stood out and said to Liu Bian with a bow.

"Granted!"

Cai Yong looked at Liu Bian and said with full reverence:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Han Imperial Academy has now recruited one thousand two hundred students."

"Among them, there are five hundred and twenty-six students in the Literary Academy and six hundred and seventy-four students in the Martial Academy."

"Most officials above the Fourth Rank in the court are teaching at the academy."

"Moreover, people from the people like Water Mirror Master Sima Hui and Pang Degong have joined the Han Imperial Academy as teachers."

After Cai Yong finished speaking, his face was full of excitement.

Seeing the Han develop to its current state, he was also very happy.

"Good, the Han Imperial Academy is a place to cultivate talents for the Han Empire."

"Tell the teachers of the students that while teaching the students knowledge, they must also pay attention to morality."

"They must instill the concept of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism in the students."

Hearing this, Liu Bian was also happy.

However, he still solemnly exhorted Cai Yong.

Hearing this, Cai Yong's expression also trembled.

He responded solemnly with a flushed face:

"This old minister obeys the decree; this minister will certainly not fail Your Majesty's entrustment!"

Seeing this, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this minister has a memorial to present!"

At this time, the Minister of Works, Xun You, on the side, saw Cai Yong finish speaking and immediately stepped out and said to Liu Bian with a bow.

"Granted!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the academies in various commanderies and states of my Han have been more than half completed after three months of construction."

"According to this humble minister's estimate, in another three months, the goal set by Your Majesty can be completed."

Hearing this, Liu Bian nodded with satisfaction.

He said to Xun You:

"This matter has been handled well."

Liu Bian said to Xun You, and subsequently, said to Cai Yong:

"Old Beloved Minister Cai, after the academies in various counties are built, the Ministry of Rites will be the main body, with the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War cooperating to arrange the teaching staff."

After Liu Bian finished speaking, he looked at Cai Yong, Xun Yu, and Cao Cao majestically.

The three heard this and immediately stepped out and responded to Liu Bian with determined faces:

"This humble minister obeys the decree; we, your subjects, will certainly not fail Your Majesty's entrustment!"

Subsequently, Liu Bian said to the assembled officials with a serious face:

"Since the official business has been resolved, let us discuss the matter of unifying the world!"

As Liu Bian's voice fell, the assembled officials were all shocked.

The military generals were looking at Liu Bian with burning eyes.

They wished they could send troops immediately.

Liu Bian took in the expressions of the crowd.

"Presumably, you all know enough about this world."

"Although there are two major countries in the west of this world."

"However, with the current strength of my Han, any one of the six great legions can easily destroy them."

"Therefore, this time, the six great legions and the navy will all be dispatched."

As Liu Bian's impassioned voice fell, the civil and military officials were all excited.

They said excitedly to Liu Bian one after another:

"It should be so, Your Majesty is wise!"

You must know that the current six great legions are all at the Postnatal Realm.

The commanders of the major legions are even at the Innate and late Postnatal cultivation levels.

With such powerful strength, dealing with those ordinary soldiers is simply a piece of cake.

"For this war, Military Advisor Guo Jia and Minister of War Cao Cao will be responsible for overall planning and command."

Guo Jia and Cao Cao on the side responded solemnly upon hearing this:

"We, your subjects, obey the decree!"

Subsequently, Liu Bian said to the other Ministers of the Six Ministries:

"For this war, I will not intervene; it will be decided by you Ministers of the Six Ministries and the commanders of the seven great legions."

"I only want the results; I want you to complete this unification war within three months."

"The entire Han Empire will fully cooperate with you."

Liu Bian said solemnly to the assembled officials.

The assembled officials were all shocked upon hearing this.

"We, your subjects (this humble general), obey the decree!"

"We will certainly not fail Your Majesty's entrustment!"

Seeing this, Liu Bian also nodded with satisfaction.

Subsequently, he said to Cao Cao and Guo Jia:

"This time, the east, Yizhou, Woguo, etc., will be left to Gan Ning and the others to be responsible for."

"Tell Gan Ning and the others that I want Woguo, not a single one left!"

After Liu Bian finished speaking, his killing intent soared.

The hundred officials were shocked.

They did not understand why His Majesty had such great killing intent toward Woguo.

However, Guo Jia and Cao Cao still responded respectfully:

"We, your subjects, obey the decree!" ===== CHAPTER 493 =====
