"Your Majesty, please sit down." Lan'er helped Mu Qianyu sit down, then helped her squeeze her shoulders and asked, "Your Majesty, what's going on?"
"I just suddenly don't know if I can go on." Mu Qianyu leaned on the chair and sighed: "I'm a little tired."
"Of course you can. You are much more powerful now than before, and you will definitely become more and more powerful." Lan'er said with certainty.
Mu Qianyu chuckled: "You are very confident."
"Lan'er has confidence in you. When we were in such difficult times in the past, you helped me get out of it." Lan'er sighed with emotion.
"Looking back, I don't think it was that difficult."
"Your Majesty has indeed had a hard time these past few years. You might as well take some good rest." Lan'er looked very distressed.
"Yeah, it's been a few years, and I'm twenty-one years old this year." Mu Qianyu looked into the distance and murmured.
"yes."
Mu Qianyu suddenly laughed, and his smile was very bright: "In total, I have lived a few more years. No matter what the outcome will be in the future, I will earn a day more if I live longer."
"Your Majesty, what did you say?" Lan'er always felt something was wrong.
"It's okay, I just wanted to express my feelings casually." Mu Qianyu stood up as he spoke and said, "For some things, the process is far more important than the result. Living every day well is more important than anything else."
Lan'er nodded reluctantly: "You rarely feel this way."
"Occasionally, we should do some literature and think about the meaning of life." Mu Qianyu said, patting her on the shoulder and asking: "What did you eat this morning?"
"Ah?" Lan'er thought to herself that this jump was too big.
"Is that weird for me to say that?"
"No, it's normal." Lan'er was overjoyed, thinking that she wanted to eat it, it was very normal.
Mu Qianyu is someone who has died once. Although he is not completely indifferent to life and death, he does not worry about it all the time.
After breakfast, she went to the Imperial Study Room as usual, but she didn't come for two days. The Prime Minister and the six ministers below all had slightly solemn expressions.
"See Your Majesty." Everyone saluted in unison.
Mu Qianyu raised his hand casually, sat on the dragon chair, and said, "My dear friends, please relax. Tell me, what happened?"
"Yesterday, the new king of Daewoo, who has been in chaos for a long time in our neighboring country, came to the throne."
"In addition, the two small dynasties behind our dynasty were occupied by the Wei Dynasty, and the three kingdoms formed a siege against our dynasty."
The officials below will report one by one.
"Yesterday, I also saw the dragon energy in the sky over Daeyu. Three months ago, King Chen of Daeyu borrowed troops from Daxia, and now he is unified on the throne. It is not surprising."
"As for the sudden appearance of Da Wei behind us, it was just a snack delivered to our door. Whenever I was in a bad mood, I ate it."
Mu Qianyu said lazily.
"Despite this, the three countries are eyeing our country and will threaten our country sooner or later." Ji Lin said.
"Well, send someone to closely observe every move of the three parties. If there is anything unusual, be alert immediately." Mu Qianyu ordered.
"Yes." The official below responded.
"Anything else?"
"It's my internal affairs."
"Say." Mu Qianyu leaned on the chair, picked up an apple, and listened while eating.
The development in the Great Zhou Dynasty is going well, and the only pressure is from foreign enemies. The new emperor of Dayu came to the throne with the help of the soldiers and horses of Great Xia. Now it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a vassal state of Great Xia.
At this time, the Wei Dynasty captured the position behind Da Zhou. Even fools would not believe it if they said it was without any plot.
Therefore, Mu Qianyu did not relax in dealing with the outside world, and asked Ji Lin to send all the information to her immediately, and the two of them would jointly judge whether it was a key clue.
In the morning in the royal study, Mu Qianyu ate two apples and a pear, and left happily.
The important ministers of the Zhou Dynasty were also used to this. If one day the emperor sat upright, looked serious, spoke elegantly, and stopped eating, it goes without saying that he must be a fake emperor.
Mu Qianyu has been accompanying her daughter a lot recently. Once the final result is still a loss, she can at least leave more memories for her daughter.
On this day, Mu Qianyu and his daughter were planting grapes in the yard together. They both took off their shoes and stepped on the mud, with mud on their faces. They were digging holes with the same serious look on their faces.
The mother and daughter loved grapes, so they decided to plant the seeds with their own hands in the spring, and then sit under the grape trellis to enjoy the coolness and eat the grapes in the fall.
The only one among the palace maids who is qualified to help is Lan'er. She is responsible for the command. After all, she is the only one here who has successful experience in growing grapes.
The scorching sun made the three of them very happy.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister wishes to see you." Eunuch Liu, the chamberlain, walked in with small but quick steps.
"Pass." Mu Qianyu said as he dug into the pit.
Ji Lin walked in and raised his hands: "Your Majesty, something happened."
"Say." Mu Qianyu knew that the thing that could make Ji Lin nervous was definitely not a small matter, so his expression became more serious.
"The envoys sent to Daxia to negotiate were all executed by the Emperor of Daxia, and their bodies were dumped at the border between the two countries." Ji Lin frowned and said.
Mu Qianyu's brows immediately jumped, looking surprised and angry: "You said they dare to kill the envoys sent by me, Da Zhou?"
"Exactly, I sent a delegation to negotiate with the twelve states that your Majesty won previously. I didn't expect... to suffer such a misfortune." Ji Lin's expression could not hide his anger.
Mu Qianyu closed his eyes and said in a sad voice, "How many people are there?"
"This time, there were only about 30 people in the car."
"More than thirty people, kill them if you ask." Mu Qianyu asked expressionlessly as he walked out, "What's the crime?"
"There was a message over there saying that it was me who had offended the Emperor of Great Xia as the envoy."
"Negotiations between the two countries have always been done by Bu Zhan. They, Daxia, don't take me seriously at all." Mu Qianyu's voice was as calm as ever.
But the palace maid and the chambermaid felt that the aura around them had changed, and even the temperature had dropped.
Ji Lin was also silent, not knowing what to say.
"Has the body been recovered?" Mu Qianyu asked again.
"It has converged and is heading towards the dynasty."
"Pension, give ten times the pension to their family members, and give them a generous burial." She ordered again.
"Yes." Ji Lin looked at her carefully and asked, "Your Majesty, only I will go to Daxia in person this time. Please give me your permission."
"No, give Daxia a letter of credence and give them the territory of the twelve states and the murderer within half a month. Otherwise, I, the iron hoof of Dazhou, will soon crush his imperial city of Daxia!" Mu Qianyu said harshly.
"Yes, I will prepare the decree now." Ji Lin also felt that such a tough attitude was very good.
After Ji Lin left, Mu Qianyu still couldn't let go. Daxia couldn't cede the land, otherwise they wouldn't kill people.
Therefore, a war is inevitable.
Now, the battle is about who is stronger, and only the strong can talk about justice.
