The huge convoy slowly moved away.

Zhu Zhen watched them off with a feeling of high spirits. This was just the first batch, and there would be a second batch, and a third batch...

Especially after Qi was awarded the title of Marquis, it caused a sensation.

Zhu Zhen is not a traditional emperor. As long as he can save Daliang, he can do anything...

What does it mean to knight a woman?

He had high hopes for Mrs. Qi, and now Queen Daning is going around looking for marriages for Liang women. This move is indeed vicious and clever.

So she sent Mrs. Qi to set an example for women. As long as she had merit in the country, women could be crowned kings and prime ministers.

This is indeed a break from the norm, which shows that Zhu Zhen is very determined!

After the farewell was over, Zhu Zhen returned to the palace and summoned the ministers to hold a court meeting.

He learned a lot from the notes left by Huang Zheng and others, as well as what he saw and heard when he went to Daning. Now the Yuanwu war is getting more and more serious, and the implementation of the New Deal is overwhelming, and the courtiers can't react...

He swallowed the truth and announced it first. People saw that His Majesty was determined to rejuvenate the country. He was diligent and caring for the people, and was working hard to seek change.

But he missed the key point.

The key to a government decree is not to announce it, but to implement it!

Being so blind will only mess up everyone. The city of Bianjing is already enfeoffing people on a large scale, while the local provinces are still searching for the powerful as before. This is the best example...

But Zhu Zhen didn't seem to notice. He just wanted to revitalize the Liang Kingdom and spared no effort.

At the court meeting, Zhu Zhen made a long speech.

At this time, someone hurried in outside and shouted at the same time.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

"Chen Fan, the envoy to Dayuan, is back!"

This shout made Zhu Zhen's long speech suddenly stop, and then turned into excitement!

Back!

Finally back!

Dawan State is a neighboring country of Liang State, but it does not belong to the Central Plains, but is further west, a country in the Western Regions.

When Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, Zhu Wen, was in power, he got along very well with the Kingdom of Dawan, exchanged information and received assistance from them.

After Zhu Zhen ascended the throne, he sent envoys there. Naturally, he also wanted to seek help.

The envoy has been away for two years and finally returns!

"Dismiss the dynasty!"

"Summon Chen Fan to see me at the Xuanzheng Hall!"

He originally wanted to announce the meeting through the court meeting, but he was worried that Chen Fan did not bring back good news, so he decided to summon him alone first and then talk...

After nearly an hour, Chen Fan was brought into the Xuanzheng Hall.

His clothes were in rags and his whole body was dirty. He had been brought directly without bathing or changing clothes.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

Chen Fan knelt down and bowed, crying bitterly.

"You are finally back!"

Zhu Zhen stepped forward to help him up.

This Chen Fan was originally his disciple. When he was oppressed by Zhu Zhen, he was also implicated. After Zhu Zhen came to the throne, he reused him, entrusted him with important tasks, and sent him to the Western Regions.

"The Kingdom of Dawan is not so far away. I have already returned from Daning. Why are you so late in returning?"

Zhu Zhen's metaphor is very appropriate.

"I thought something happened to you on the road and you wouldn't be able to come back."

"His Majesty!"

After some pleasantries, Chen Fan wiped away his tears and said: "The reason why I haven't returned home for a long time is because I not only went to Dayuan Kingdom, but also to several other countries in the Western Region..."

"oh?"

Zhu Zhen helped Chen Fan up and asked hurriedly: "Is there anything gained?"

"Daning is finished!"

Chen Fan said four words, which made Zhu Zhen suddenly shocked.

"Why do you say that?"

"Your Majesty does not know that when our Liang Kingdom went to war with Daning, the Western Region also sent an army of 300,000 to attack Daning."

Chen Fan said: "And this 300,000-strong army was composed of elites from the 22 countries in the Western Regions...but they were killed in Daning!"

"And this army is composed of noble princes from all over the world, with noble status. Among them is Dagan Hamu, the heir to the Great Yueshi Kingdom!"

"These people are all dead, and because of this, the countries in the Western Region are furious!"

I heard what Chen Fan said.

Zhu Zhen was surprised and asked: "So, the countries in the Western Region are going to take revenge?"

"right!"

Chen Fan said: "I not only went to Dayuan, but also to Dayong, Dayu... a total of five countries... Under my lobbying, they also had a strong desire for revenge against Daning.

, led by the five major kingdoms including Da Yueshi, Da Su Kingdom, and Da Xi Kingdom, they are preparing to dispatch more troops to launch a battle of revenge!"

"Battle of Revenge!"

"good!"

Zhu Zhen said: "Guan Ning finally paid the price for his arrogance and provoked a powerful enemy!"

If he wants to keep the Liang Kingdom, then Daning will perish!

The foreign warriors in the Western Region are powerful and ferocious. Even if Daning is strong and can block the four disasters once, can it still block the second time?

Daning is in danger!

Thoughts flashed, Zhu Zhen asked again: "I wonder when this battle of revenge will start, and how many troops will come out of the Western Regions?"

"In about three years!"

Zhu Zhen nodded.

The Western Region is vast. If all thirty-six countries participate in the war, just contact and gathering will take a long time...

It is normal for a three-year period to be required.

He patted Chen Fan on the shoulder very kindly.

"I'm not wrong about you. You're doing a great job. There is a vacancy for the inner court doctor. You can fill it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chen Fan opened his mouth again and said: "The foreign coalition forces from the Western Regions will send troops to Daning, and they will use the Liang Kingdom to borrow the road."
