319~ The Meeting Content is Advancing into Glaze Nation?
"What about now? They shouldn't have any more problems now, right?"
"Mm. They haven't started fighting again for now."
It's just that Miss Elysia's temporary residence was torn apart by Xiao Bai. But later she was moved to a new residence. It's still passable.
Elysia was originally "invited" over by the Empress. Without the Empress's permission, she still had no way to leave the Imperial Palace.
Just like when the Empress placed her under house arrest. But Elysia's situation was much worse than when she was under house arrest. She could basically only stay in the Scarlet Imperial Palace with nowhere to go.
She also didn't know why the Empress kept not letting Elysia leave. She was both angry and had to support this mouth. Wouldn't it be better to just throw her out to fend for herself?
However, she didn't care about these things. Anyway, Elysia being in the Scarlet Imperial Palace had no impact on her. She could even occasionally go find Elysia to chat.
Although Elysia initially wanted to imprison her in the Abundance Order as a Saint, Elysia had already regretted her actions and promised not to force her to do things she didn't want to do anymore. After that, she also let it go.
Elysia, fundamentally speaking... was a yandere, sometimes even crazier than the Empress. And a yandere's brain circuits couldn't be measured by common sense. Who could know what a yandere was thinking in her heart?
Elysia had mental problems, and it was also orders given by that hateful God of Abundance...
"By the way, Xiyan, what are we eating today?"
"It's your favorite beef!"
"Beef!"
Her favorite!
Beef was still relatively expensive in the other world. Generally, only nobility could eat it often. And she happened to be a nation's princess. Even after coming to the Scarlet Phoenix Nation, she was still the Imperial Consort. Eating beef every day still had no problem.
However, because the Empress formulated a healthy diet plan for her, her daily meals were quite random. The probability of eating beef in one meal was still quite low, averaging once every two or three days.
And before the meal started being made, she wouldn't know what dishes the group of maids below had prepared for her.
"Then is there lettuce tonight!?"
Her favorite vegetable among all the green vegetables.
"Yes!"
"That's good then."
The Little Princess sat on a chair waiting for the food to be served.
And the vacant seat opposite meant the Empress hadn't returned yet at this moment. She should still be discussing something with the various generals.
"Princess's food is really good today."
After all the dishes were served, Maid "Xiao Xi," through the Little Princess's perspective, saw the food on the table. It was almost entirely meat!
Was Her Princess too thin? Why was everything arranged for her Princess all meat? Only one vegetable?
She hadn't seen the Little Princess's weight in reality, but through the flesh on her arms, she could still tell she was indeed somewhat emaciated.
"Xiao Xi, do you want to eat?"
"Eh? Is that okay?"
"Of course."
Using some unknown method, when Maid Xiao Xi heard several "clangs" and turned back, she saw a table full of sumptuous food, precisely the food the Little Princess in reality was eating.
"...Thank you, Princess!"
...
...
"Thank you for your hard work, generals. But I still have some things to say."
The various generals sitting in their seats held their breath, waiting for the Empress to speak.
"Next, I will draw out a portion of troops to go to Glaze Nation to capture the remnants of the Previous Dynasty Remnants, that portion of Previous Dynasty Remnants who fled from the Scarlet Phoenix Nation into Glaze Nation. If we leave them alone, they will inevitably make a comeback, and with an even stronger counterattack."
"But if we do this, what about within the Scarlet Phoenix Nation's borders?"
What if the reactionary forces within the Scarlet Phoenix Nation's borders took advantage of the opening? What if, taking advantage of the Scarlet Phoenix Nation's troops being partially deployed to Glaze Nation, they stirred up reactionary movements again in places that were originally suppressed?
Right now, the entire Scarlet Phoenix Nation was suppressing this reactionary movement started by the Previous Dynasty Remnants. Since all the Previous Dynasty Remnants left the Scarlet Phoenix Nation, the reactionary intensity had already decreased considerably. But the reactionary forces were still relatively strong.
There had to be sufficient military strength to suppress them, until these areas' reactionary forces completely didn't dare raise their heads again.
And all of this was because of one of the Empress's policies, causing the Scarlet Phoenix Nation's progress in suppressing these reactionary forces to be relatively slow.
They couldn't understand why the Empress wanted to use gentle methods to resolve this. Why not use the past violent methods to forcibly suppress directly? Those who refused would be killed on the spot, that kind of decisive, efficient, and effective method.
Right now, this kind of method where reactionaries were only relatively suppressed, as long as they didn't launch attacks on the military they could be tolerated, and when instigating local people they only blocked the spread of information...
They truly couldn't understand why Her Majesty the Empress used this method. Could it be she was influenced by Princess the Imperial Consort and lost her past absolute rationality?
No, that shouldn't be very likely, right? How could Her Majesty's mindset be something others could casually change?
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"
"No need to worry about reactionary problems within the Scarlet Phoenix Nation. When necessary, I will personally suppress them."
When that time came, it wouldn't be as simple as a warning. Instead, violent methods would be directly adopted... After all, this was her ultimate goal!
Everything was under control!
Seeing the Empress's confident appearance, the various generals couldn't continue saying anything. The Empress also had the ability to go conduct violent suppression alone. As her ministers, they could only execute the Empress's orders. They called over their messengers one after another and relayed all the Empress's requirements down.
The Third Army and Fifth Army would all advance into Glaze Nation. Then the remaining armies would each squeeze out a portion of troops to form two temporary armies to temporarily manage the positions originally held by the Third and Fifth Armies.
"Your Majesty, your orders have been relayed down. Does Your Majesty have any other instructions?"
"No more. I've said everything I needed to say. You should all be clear about what to do next, right?"
"Clear!"
The various generals echoed.
Go to Glaze Nation to clean up the Scarlet Phoenix Nation's Previous Dynasty Remnants, then assist Glaze Nation in applying pressure to some nobles within Glaze Nation. This was also the will of the Glaze Nation's King.
This would also save them some expenses. Glaze Nation seemed to have had plans to strip all these nobles of their titles long ago.
However, if all nobles were to be stripped of their titles, what was Glaze Nation up to again?
"Then, meeting adjourned. Everyone, rest well and prepare the troops. Any reasonable expenses incurred during these days of rest can be reimbursed to me afterward."
In other words, drinking money and those miscellaneous expenses didn't need to be squeezed out from military funds?
"Long live Her Majesty the Empress!!!"
...
...
"Your Majesty!"
"Mm."
After signaling little loli maid Xiyan to rise, the Empress began searching for the Little Princess's figure.
"Where's Mo?"
She wanted to tell the Little Princess the news, so the Little Princess could temporarily set her mind at ease.
She knew that these past few days, the Little Princess had been exchanging letters with her cheap Father the King, all discussing plans to eliminate the Previous Dynasty Remnants.
