Dachu Luocheng Imperial Palace Yangxin Pavilion

The wide jade table is covered with bright yellow brocade, with thick memorials stacked on the left, and the right side is much less than the left side, with red pen instructions on it.

After the jade case, the person sitting was the master of the seventy-two prefectures of the Great Chu, the highest ruler of the billions of people, the current emperor of the Great Chu, and Emperor Xuan of Chu.

Emperor Zheng of Chu is nearly 60 years old and is in good health. Only from his face, you can see extreme fatigue. You need to deal with five hours of memorials every day, which is quite difficult for a 60-year-old man.

I picked up the memorial on the top of the left and looked at a geese feather sticking on it, frowned slightly. The geese feather flew quickly, which means that the memorial came from the frontier. There seems to be no war recently, where did this memorial come from?

Northeast, north, northwest, or south, or is the water boundary impure?

The Great Chu was peaceful for a hundred years, which was for ordinary people. As emperors who protected the Great Territory, wars happened all the time, and the only difference was in size. The Hei Shui tribe in the northeast, Luo Sha Kingdom, the Golden Tribe in the north, the Sabe people in the northwest, the forty-eight plateau countries in the southwest, and the chieftains in the south...

This is not counting as two navy troops. Facing the many forces with strong hostility, Da Chu is still powerful enough now, so these enemies are lurking in the dark, secretly looking at the giant big Chu. As long as they show a little fatigue, they will rise up and attack them like evil wolves, trying to bite a piece of fat from Da Chu.

"I suspect it was Hongli's Feiyan's letter?" Seeing the look above, Emperor Zheng of Chu felt uneasy. He checked the fire lacquer seal, took out the golden knife and pulled out the memorial inside.

Looking at the ten lines at a glance, skipping the useless greetings, only looking at the main text, Emperor Zheng of Chu's face changed like the wind and clouds, and his anger gradually arose.

Poor Princess Ninth, she is already so difficult, and there is still someone who has the idea of ​​her. Have the conscience of those bastards been eaten by the dog?

Wei Yan, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet who was sitting at the top, looked up at the angry face of Emperor Chu Zheng's face, guessed, which civil minister had made His Majesty angry?

"Take it, you all see." Emperor Zheng of Chu angrily rebuked, and a little eunuch held the memorial in both hands and delivered it to Wei Yan.

Hearing Emperor Zheng of Chu, the other three auxiliary ministers walked around from their respective tables and took turns to watch Hongli's memorials.

After the four people finished circulating, Chu Zheng tapped the jade case with his finger: "I've finished reading it, let's talk about it. Yi He was born but not easy, and it was difficult to live. He was the princess he loved the most. How dare they?"

The Yihe mentioned by Emperor Zheng of Chu was the title of the ninth princess Chu Jiayi. She has been proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she is well-known for her poetry, calligraphy and etiquette. She is known as the most talented woman in the royal family. She lost her mother because of her childhood and is well-behaved and sensible. She is indeed the heart of Emperor Zheng of Chu.

Unfortunately, this woman has a bad fortune. She lost her mother when she was born and lost her husband when she married. She was given three gifts to three widows. In and outside the court, she said that this woman was an lonely star and had a life that was hard to defeat her relatives, and she regarded it as an ominous person.

Wei Yan coughed lightly: "Your Majesty, this matter should be investigated strictly. The person behind him has ulterior motives and must have the intention of being unjust."

Well, it's all nonsense. It's a death sentence to gather sand to attack Yulin and rob the princess of Dachu.

"Your Majesty, you should send an order to Dingxi to order Youli to go to the desert to capture the unjust officials." The old man who spoke was nearly 70 years old, but his face was red. Kong Wu was strong, and his body was much better than Emperor Zheng of Chu, who was less than 60 years old.

This is the military minister, the former general of the Yulin Army Du Jian. Emperor Zheng of Chu believed in martial arts but not civil servants, and had a bad impression of civil servants. Among the four ministers selected, two were also civil servants and two were military officials.

"Your Majesty, you should pass on the internal edict and order the Secret Spies Department to send additional personnel to verify the source." The person who spoke was older and Ning Wenguang, another military minister, was appointed as the Minister of Military Affairs.

"Your Majesty, you should guard against the southwest of the country." The last person spoke was Se Qinghe, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, who was also the youngest of the four auxiliary ministers, who had just turned thirty-five. He had been around for two hundred years and was also the youngest auxiliary minister in Da Chu.

"Southwest?" Although Se Qinghe is the youngest, he is the most valued by Emperor Zheng of Chu. This son is keen in thinking and can always grasp the key points with one blow. He is supplemented by Wei Yan's old Taoist, which is the right-hand man of Emperor Zheng of Chu who governs billions of people and thousands of miles of country.

As for the two military ministers, the auxiliary ministers of the military machinery hall were actually not very useful, but Emperor Zheng of Chu did not like the autocracy of civil officials. Therefore, at any time, half of the auxiliary ministers were generals from the military machinery hall.

Se Qinghe straightened out his thoughts and said, "Your Majesty, no matter who the person behind this is, no matter what his purpose is, it is obviously not very useful to just rob the Ninth Princess. In the opinion of the minister, it is necessary to take two steps, even three parties and four actions. There are no prefectures in the southwest. Apart from the Dingxi Army, the Chu people are only five million and tens of thousands of merchants in the border market. With the Dingxi General, he will definitely not be able to make waves, so there are only the forty-eight countries on the plateau."

After hearing this, Wei Yan thought for a moment and nodded in recognition. What Se Qinghe said was very true. Apart from the forty-eight countries on the plateau, he could not think of any other crisis.

"Your Majesty, what the scholars of Serena are saying is reasonable, but the forty-eight countries on the plateau are not one, and people are uneven. In addition, although the plateau is not rich, it can be self-sufficient." He did not continue to say that he is not a foolish king now, and he understands everything he should understand.

What he wanted to say was that a place as big as a plateau, which is equivalent to a desert area, but has forty-eight countries, which is conceivable. In addition, the output can be self-sufficient and life is not good or bad, so there will be no big deal.

In the eyes of the kings and ministers of the Great Chu, if the tribes are rich in resources, they will naturally have sufficient troops and sufficient food, and will easily become ambitious in the border areas. If the output is insufficient, they will easily attack the border grass valley to fill food. The eight armies of the Great Chu have nine borders, and the Ding Army in the southwest is the most peaceful because of the forty-eight countries.

"I'm not afraid of no good things, but I'm afraid of no good people." Ning Wenguang said loudly.

It makes sense, Emperor Zheng of Chu deeply agrees. The Forty-Eight Kingdoms are very peaceful, but they are afraid that there are people in the court. The Forty-Eight Kingdoms do not want to fight, but there are always people who don’t want to live a peaceful life.

"You guys think that you should send an order to prepare for war in the west?" Emperor Zheng of Chu asked. It was not that he didn't want to, but that he did not dare to start the war easily. The life of the Great Chu was not easy, and there were natural disasters for many years. Last year, the river was dancing again, and the national treasury was empty. The war was all about money and food, and Emperor Zheng of Chu had no money.

"Your Majesty is wise." Se Qingzheng bowed and said.

Wei Yan frowned: "The national treasury...is not abundant."

What does it mean to be poor? It’s all about poverty. The minister’s salary has been owed for two months and has not been paid. When the army moves, the gold coins flow out like flowing water. Now the Great Chu can’t afford it.

"You can let Zhu Chongjiu prepare for the war by himself." Du Jian said. He was a senior in the army, so he naturally didn't need to care about General Zhu's official position, so he could just call him by his name.

"It seems that this is the only way." Emperor Zheng of Chu sighed. Originally, in this battle, the Ministry of Revenue should have ordered the Ministry of Revenue to prepare more food and grass, the Ministry of Works to prepare armies, collect 100,000 civilians, 100,000 vehicles, and send the general's funds to Dingjun City, but now Emperor Zheng of Chu cannot produce these.

Fortunately, although the Dingxi Army was not rich, it could barely support it under the management of Zhu Chong's 19930, but the military was rough. The forty-eight countries on the plateau were not considered powerful enemies. As long as the whole country was not fighting, they should be able to support it.

The scale of the war is still unsure, and Zhu Chongjiu has not received any memorials. Instead, it can be slow to wait until the autumn tax revenue comes up, which can help you to relieve your anger.

Even if this happens first, there is no good way except to send an order to prepare for the war, so I can only wait and see.

"Your Majesty, there is a strange thing in this memorial that is hidden but not revealed, and I am a little confused about the intention." I originally thought that even if this matter was over, who would have thought that Se Qingzheng would continue the topic.

"Oh? Why is it unclear?" Emperor Chu Zheng asked. As an emperor, he would never handle all the political affairs he had to deal with in a day. He would never be able to deal with them. How could he care about small things that were not up to par?

Se Qingzheng said: "After the help of noble men from a hundred miles away, General Luo crossed the road to move to the public, blocked tens of thousands of sand and robbed the long and left, and the princess was worried."

Due to the weight that Feiyan can bring, Hongli's memorials are not much. He just wrote the whole story and the language is concise. Emperor Zheng of Chu and the other three ministers of the regent did not care about these processes. They only looked at the essence of the matter. Who would be patient with reading them? If you look closely, you would probably not be able to handle much government affairs in a day.

"What's wrong?" Emperor Chu Zheng rubbed his temples. He was too lazy to think about these details.

"I have three questions, one is the caravan, where is the noble man from? Two is the noble man who knows the marriage convoy a hundred miles away. Three questions, how can he help him when he is a hundred miles away? And how can he know the route, speed, time of the cows who move to the gang? Just right, let the marriage convoy block the sand and steal the cattle after the cattle?"

If you don’t want to, you can just scan these details. The Qingjing reminded everyone, and they were shocked. Yes, how do you explain these questions?

How could a noble man be in the caravan? How could he know about things a hundred miles away? And he could help the wedding convoy and listen to the legend of the elephant myth.

Everyone was silent for a long time, no one answered, and no one could answer the three questions about Se Qingzheng, which was simply unsolvable.

Seeing that everyone was in deep thought, Emperor Zheng of Chu hit the jade case: "You don't need to think too much, just send an order to inquire, or continue to deal with government affairs."

"Abide by the order."

Afterwards, the five monarchs and ministers in the room continued to work hard on government affairs, but each had its own guesses.

Desert Golden Road

After the greetings, Yang Feng asked: "Mr. Lei, the marriage convoy was attacked by the thief. Outside the Dingjun City, the general's legitimate son Zhu Fu entered the plateau forty-eight countries and looked for rare treasures in the world. He thought it was a betrothal gift, but he was accidentally attacked. With the weapons and living mouths of the twelve countries as evidence, what do you think?"

The people of Da Chu have been trying hard to speak. The more noble he is, the more he speaks, the more he speaks, and it is not as easy as Huya's speech. Renault has to think for a few seconds after listening to it before he understands what he means.

"What's wrong with this General Zhu Fu?"

"Dead assassinated."

My mother, what kind of evil did this Ninth Princess do in her previous life? This is the Four Gifts and Four Widows. Can anyone be more unlucky than her?

Renault's first reaction was that the poor Ninth Princess, even if it was placed on earth, this girl would not be able to live her life.
