Using beautiful women to win over ministers is a common method used by the royal family.
There is a Xiunu Palace in the Dakang Palace, and the women in it are considered spare maids.
When the Ninth Princess's grandfather was the emperor, he often arranged for the maids from the Xiu Nu Palace to serve the ministers who stayed in the Imperial Study Room, which was regarded as a kind of win-win and reward.
If the palace maids had served the ministers, the emperor would naturally not stay in the palace anymore. Usually, they would directly reward the ministers and take them home.
The Ninth Princess grew up in the royal family and was deeply influenced by this kind of thinking. After leaving last night, she specifically asked Qin'er to go to the Xiu Nu Palace to select two maids to sleep with.
"You asked Qin'er to arrange maids for me, weren't you sincerely trying to cause trouble for me? It's really difficult for her to find two such top-notch ones from the palace!"
Jin Feng became angry when he thought of this.
Just as he was getting ready to go to bed yesterday, Qin'er came in with two palace maids, saying that the Ninth Princess had arranged to come to bed.
Although Jin Feng didn't think about what to do, it was always okay to see the world, right?
Then he stabbed his butt with a knife and opened his eyes.
"The best?" The Ninth Princess was stunned: "What is the best?"
"One has a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, and is full of yellow teeth. The other can barely see, but is darker than an iron ox. If he wasn't wearing white clothes, I wouldn't be able to see him!"
Jin Feng said: "What is this if it's not the best?"
"Hahaha!"
The Ninth Princess laughed so much that she burst into tears: "Since you always provoke Qin'er, I guess she didn't go to the Show Girl Palace, but went to the Huanyi Palace to look for you."
Huanyi Palace is the miscellaneous department of the palace. The maids there are all working. They don't care about appearance, but they must be capable.
"Then how did you arrange for them?"
Princess Ninth asked with a smile.
"How else can we arrange it so that they can go back to where they came from?"
Jin Feng changed his posture, patted his chest and said, "Actually, it's superfluous for you to ask Qin'er to find a palace maid. Am I that kind of person?"
“Speak well and speak well!”
The Ninth Princess slapped the golden sharp hand away angrily.
"Hey, you dare to hit me?"
Jin Feng exerted force on his hand and pulled the Ninth Princess down.
"Don't make trouble, we have business!" Ninth Princess sat up again: "I just got the news that the Eastern Barbarians have started sending people to cross the river!"
"Are they coming?"
When he heard that something serious was going on, Jin Feng stopped messing around and quickly got up and dressed.
"No, he was killed by two escorts who used catapults."
The Ninth Princess knelt on the bed, helping Jin Feng tidy up his clothes, and replied: "But then they sent two more teams to cross the river from other places."
"It seems that the Eastern Barbarians are very anxious!" Jin Feng said.
In fact, the main force of the Eastern Barbarians only arrived yesterday.
Jin Feng thought they would have to repair for a few days before sending people across the river, but they started today.
"Yelushu is a war madman. If it weren't for the Yellow River, they might have started besieging the city as soon as they arrived yesterday." Ninth Princess said.
"Chlorophyll?" Jin Feng said with a smile: "As expected, it comes from the grassland, and the name is quite environmentally friendly."
It's a pity that the Ninth Princess didn't understand his joke and corrected him: "It's not Chlorophyll, it's Yelu Shu, King Zuoxian of the Prairie Royal Court. I saw his handsome flag on the city wall yesterday."
"Is this person very powerful?" Jin Feng asked.
"It's very powerful," the Ninth Princess said: "There is a widely circulated legend in the grassland. When he was wandering in the grassland, he was once surrounded by a pack of wolves. With a scimitar, he killed more than a hundred giant calves.
Wolf, kill yourself from the pack of wolves!"
"Legends are often untrustworthy. Let alone a giant wolf as big as a calf, even a hundred ordinary prairie wolves cannot be dealt with by one person."
Jin Feng said: "It must be bragging."
When people say something, they always like to exaggerate.
For example, in the previous life, someone in Jinfeng Village said that he was delivering express delivery in Guangzhou, but as the news spread, it became known that he had a piece of land in Guangzhou...
This was the case in previous lives, but in the ignorant feudal period, the rumors were even more exaggerated.
For example, according to current storytellers, Jin Feng is a god descending to earth and controlling the thunder.
Storytellers say this to attract attention, but some people do it to shock the people.
For example, Liu Bang in his previous life may have just caught a snake on the roadside and stewed it in soup to satisfy his hunger, but his subordinates said he was the Red Emperor and killed the White Emperor.
It may be the same for Yelu Shu. He just killed one or two lone wild wolves, and was rumored to have wiped out a pack of giant wolves alone.
"I naturally know that the legend is not trustworthy, but Yelu Shu cannot be underestimated."
The Ninth Princess said: "Not to mention his own martial arts, this person is also very good at fighting. His fighting style is extremely fierce. He has never failed to attack other tribes on the grassland.
Once, seven medium-sized tribes in his territory were overwhelmed and united to besiege him. Their number was nearly three times that of his tribe, but he led them to annihilate them all.
This is not a legend, but confirmed news."
"Then it seems that this person is really good at fighting."
When Jin Feng heard what the Ninth Princess said, he also put away his contempt.
After getting dressed, I walked to the map without even having time to wash my face.
Strategically, we despise our opponents, but tactically, we must pay attention to our enemies.
This is the principle that Jin Feng has always adhered to.
Because he knew very well that a decision he made at this time would not only affect the life and death of thousands of bodyguards, but more seriously, it would also affect the national destiny of the entire Dakang and the lives and fortunes of countless Dakang people.
If they lose this battle, they will definitely have to pay a huge annual tribute to the Eastern Barbarians. This compensation is very likely to be the last straw for Dakang.
The Ninth Princess knew that Jin Feng had to brush his teeth in the morning and found that he was staring at the map seriously, so she went out to get a glass of water for Jin Feng, dipped a willow branch in salt and brought it over.
"Lao Qi, set off fireworks No. 6!"
Jin Feng shouted outside before taking the water glass and willow branch.
A moment later, in the open space at the entrance to the royal study, a group of fireworks rose into the sky and exploded in the air.
The white light group suspended in the air and persisted for nearly a minute before dissipating.
It was still dark at this time, and the white light group was extremely conspicuous in the night sky. There was no industrial pollution in Dakang, so it could be easily seen from several miles away.
A moment later, two fireworks were launched into the sky in the west and north of the city, both of which were the same as those set off at the entrance of the imperial study.
Chen Ji had just gotten up and was having breakfast. He immediately took Qin Zhen to the imperial study room when he heard the noise.
"Wuyang, Jinfeng, what's wrong?"
"It's okay. Sir, he just asked Brother Liang and others to report the situation."
Princess Ninth explained: "When they see fireworks outside the city, they will use carrier pigeons to deliver the news back."
"This method is quite convenient." Chen Ji suddenly realized.
The Ninth Princess had breakfast delivered, but before Jin Feng finished eating, Da Liu ran in with two notes.
Jin Feng took the note and after reading it said: "Brother Liang and Monkey are already in place, it's time to take action!"
"Would it be too hasty to start today?" Ninth Princess asked.
"Today is not a full-scale battle, just a test."
Jin Feng stood up and stretched: "To capture the thief, capture the king first. Didn't you say that King Zuo Xian of the Eastern Barbarians is very powerful? Then kill their King Zuo Xian first!"
"Kill King Zuo Xian?" The Ninth Princess' pupils shrank slightly, but then she showed a look of surprise.
Then he turned to look at Qin Zhen: "Ask the imperial army to go to the Privy Council and bring the civil and military officials to the north wall. I want them to see how sir fights!"
