Chapter 50: Hesitation
"City..."Huo Ling lightly read the name of the city, as if he was thinking about something, the previous leisurely expression gradually faded, his brows were lightly locked, Qimeng looked at Huo Ling, the two were silent, and they could only hear the creaking sound of the carriage on the road.
"I shouldn't go to Zhao Kingdom, let's go back to Yue Kingdom."
After a long time, Huo Ling spit out such a sentence, Qi Meng was surprised, seeing that Huo Ling was in a much lower mood at this time, and he didn't dare to ask anything more.
"Princess, are you really not going to Zhao Kingdom?"
Kimu reconfirmed.
"Really, you went to tell the general who led the team, return immediately, let's go back to Yueguo."
After speaking, Huo Ling sighed, and suddenly heard something in her ears, she subconsciously looked at the gap where the curtain was lifted by the wind, it was the shadow of the city, and he really had been by her side.
"Speaking of which, all the ministers are also Cheng Yi's elders, today Cheng Yi does not call himself the lonely king, but I am here to toast you with a glass of sake to express Cheng Yi's gratitude to all the ministers for their dedication to Cheng Yi!"
In the court, Cheng Yi drank a glass of wine, and the courtiers and doctors below also held on to the wine glass, but no one responded to the peace, and the head of the Yue State Minister Shen Zhi was arrogant, he did not buy Cheng Yi's account, and the remaining courtiers were afraid of his dictatorship and did not dare to come out.
Seeing this, Cheng Yi was also expected, and motioned to the palace people around him, filled the wine glass again, and took another step forward until Shen Zhi stepped forward.
"At the beginning, if it weren't for Shen Xiang's great help, Cheng Yi would not have had the opportunity to stand here and speak, on the first day of the next month, Cheng Yi would be fortunate to welcome the newcomer into the palace, and there would be a new master in another palace room of the Queen Shaorong Pavilion, Shen Xiang, you are Cheng Yi's most relied on minister, Cheng Yi's benefactor, or Cheng Yi's father-in-law, so Cheng Yi has to respect Shen Xiang alone."
Another glass of sake was drunk, Cheng Yi smiled and showed the empty cup to Shen Zhi, Shen Zhi finally bowed his head, returned the wine in his hand to Cheng Yi, and saw Shen Zhi the first to drink the sake given by Cheng Yi, and the rest of the courtiers and doctors said in unison and saluted Cheng Yi.
"The ministers also salute the king..."
"Haha, alright!"
Cheng Yi smiled heartily, turned around and strode back to the throne and sat down.
"Zheng Guo and Yue Guo are in a cold relationship, and now Zheng Guo is under the enemy, even if the Yue and Zheng countries have never been friendly, we have no reason to sit idly by, so from now on, prepare grain and grass to prepare for war, and three days later, reinforcements Zheng Guo."
Cheng Yi's tone was firm, and he looked at the reactions of the courtiers below as he spoke, the people in the court were uneven, the party and government were fierce, he, the king of Yue, had been on the throne for less than a year, and his power was sideways, and he was powerless, so we had to think twice about everything, and the Vietnamese were worried about domestic and foreign troubles, and he could not allow him to take a wrong step.
"The king made a very correct decision, since he is preparing to reinforce Zheng Guo, then in terms of personnel, how does the king want to arrange it?"
Shen Zhi came out of the queue and asked respectfully in words and deeds.
"General Cao is the commander, and the rest will be handed over to Shen Xiang, who is fully responsible..."
As a last resort, Cheng Yi is still recuperating, and he has no capital to confront the powerful Minister Shen Zhi head-on, only forbearance.
"No"
Chi Yan walked to the front of the hall and met Wang Meiren, who was carrying a cup of bone broth to be sent to Cheng Yi.
"Yo, isn't this Mrs. Chi."
Wang Meiren was very unhappy when she saw Chi Yan, and the day before yesterday she heard that Chi Yan was pregnant, which was the king's first child, and others were jealous.
"I've seen my sister, what's the matter, my sister is going to the king too? Well, it's so fragrant, the king must love to drink it. ”
Chi Yan is not arrogant or impatient, and greets him with a smile.
