"Five...... Five hundred...... Ten thousand taels? The tone of the messengers changed.

These envoys originally thought that the new emperor of Southern Chu would push off the peace matter on the grounds of national instability, but this time they would return in vain. I didn't expect to meet the regent who was equal to the emperor in Dayue, if he could take this family business, it would naturally be no worse than marrying Nanchu, but unfortunately his wishful thinking didn't come true, but he asked the princess regent to ask for five million taels of silver, which is not a small amount!

"What? Not happy? Chu Nuo's eyes narrowed, full of threat.

Several envoys were suddenly drenched in cold sweat, "No, no, no, we will reply to our emperor word for word on this matter." ”

Chu Nuo nodded with satisfaction. The Beiqi envoy fled with a heartbroken look on his face.

Yun Qinglan carried Chu Nuo back to the room and closed the door, so naturally there was no need to say much.

At this time, whether it is Dayue, Beiqi or Nanchu, they are already in the midst of an undercurrent.

In the well-guarded imperial study room of the Dayue Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, all the eighty-nine strongholds that have been identified have been destroyed, and the remaining strongholds are being thrown into investigation."

The Imperial Capital Praetorian Guard knelt down on one knee and reported respectfully.

"Well, this matter must not be neglected, remember that what I want is to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots!"

"Yes!"

The young man who sat at the top of the table, about eighteen or nineteen years old, had a resolute and resolute face, and his eyes were full of clear wisdom. This young man was Chu Nian who was brought out of the palace by Chu Nuo back then, this little prince who could be bullied by even lowly palace maids and eunuchs at that time, who would have thought that he would one day ascend to the throne of the Ninety-Five Supreme?

The Praetorian Guard had not been gone long before several white-bearded ministers came one after another. The group of old men didn't say a word, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, don't spend military resources and money on a Jianghu organization anymore, after all, they didn't pose any threat to me Da Yuezhao, the emperor is cautious!" ”

Chu Nian pinched the corners of his forehead with a headache, this group of dead old men knew that there were bones in the eggs.

"Aiqing, I have my own reasons for doing this. Do I, as the king of a country, need your consent to even do this? ”

Chu Nian suddenly raised his voice, and the majesty of the person in the upper position burst out, and even a young man bluffed the old men below into a cold sweat.

"The emperor is angry, Weichen just thinks that this matter is inappropriate......"

"Wrong? Hmph, do you have to let the Xuan clan of Nanchu become a big climate in Dayue and then go to encircle and suppress! Chu Nian bit the word Nan Chu hard.

"No...... Don't ......" The old men were choked by Chu Nian for a while and had nothing to say.

Chu Nian waved his hand, "Okay, I know that Aiqing is also good intentions for the country, you go down, I have my own decision on this matter." ”

A group of old ministers below, you look at me, I look at you, they were speechless for a while, and they retreated one by one. Since the emperor has said so, then they are not allowed to interfere in this matter, it's just that, anyway, it is the clan power of Southern Chu, and the development of Dayue has always been a problem for raising tigers, and there is no harm in solving it.

The imperial study was quiet again, and Chu Nian took out the letter and began to write a letter, telling his brother-in-law in Nanchu about the progress of clearing the Xuan forces.

"Sister, as long as you do something, my brother will help you. As long as you're happy, what's the matter if you overturn the world? Chu Nian thought silently.

I have to say that Chu Nian's personality is now completely influenced by Yun Qinglan.

In Beiqi, the Yin clan also began to slaughter the hidden forces of the Xuan clan, and a bloody storm was set off in the rivers and lakes.

"What do you say? Chu Nuo, did she really say that? "In the Beiqi Imperial Palace, the bookcase in the imperial study was struck three times by the emperor's palm.

The messenger was in a cold sweat, for fear that the slap would fall on his head in the next moment, and he lowered his head and did not dare to move.

"Yes, yes." The envoy guessed that Chu Nuo in the emperor's mouth was the name of the princess regent, so he hurriedly responded: "The princess regent of Dayue did make this request, and Weichen also felt that this condition was too much" Before the two words could be spoken, the envoy was stunned by their emperor's three wild laughs.

How...... What's going on, why did the emperor start to giggle, even if five million taels is not a small amount, but it is nothing to the Beiqi treasury, the emperor will not be mad. The envoy felt that his head was not enough.

"She hasn't forgotten me yet, it's so good, it's good......" Long Mingyu muttered to himself for a long time before he shouted with full anger, "Come on, give me five million taels of silver, plus a copy of various treasures, hurry!" ”

"The Emperor...... The emperor ......" The envoy looked up at Long Mingyu in surprise, but was so surprised by Long Mingyu's happy expression that his eyes almost fell off.

Only then did Long Mingyu think of another person in the imperial study, "Oh, Aiqing, I have already ordered me to prepare an apology, this time you should go and send it to the princess regent." Remember, be quick, by the way, ask the Princess Regent if there is anything else she wants, and I will find it for her. ”

Finally, the envoy came out with his little heart and leaning against the wall.

Long Ningyu was grounded for a year by Long Mingyu's holy decree because he offended the princess of Dayue Regent, which is a later story.

In the end, the envoy who came out with a white face, holding his little heart and leaning against the wall, behind him his wise and martial emperor from time to time a smirk made his heart tremble.

The emperor is really evil! The envoy kept muttering in his heart.

Later, Princess Long Ningyu, who was about to go to her royal brother to complain, had not yet had time to go out of the palace, but was blocked back by a holy decree, which said that the princess had collided with the princess of Dayue Regent, and she was immoral, so she was grounded for a year to reflect. Of course, that's another story.

Going back to the Xuan Clan, it is said that the place where the Xuan Clan has suffered the most loss is still in Nanchu, after all, it is their base camp.

And the current new emperor of Southern Chu is like a mad dog in the eyes of those elders of the Xuan clan, he bites when he catches it, and he will never let go if he bites to death.

"Now that the matter is completely exposed, the Southern Chu royal family doesn't seem to intend to let us go. The old man has long said that he can't hit the attention of the royal family, what can I do now? "In an elegant and quiet secret room in the Xuan Valley, a group of high-ranking Xuan clan elders gathered together to discuss countermeasures to the current situation.

An elder with a strange voice said contemptuously: "Hmph, Nan Chu, the newly enthroned little emperor, is really too arrogant and lawless, and he actually doesn't take our Xuan clan in his eyes. I think that he Lao Tzu would be polite when he saw us, and this stunned young man whose wings have not yet grown hard may have no enthusiasm to avenge his Lao Tzu, we might as well send troops now and directly use force to seize this country. ”

This elder is indeed right, if Shangguan Yi alone, he would never be against the Xuan clan now, but the problem is that now there is one more Yun Qinglan, with such a solid backing comparable to the monarch, Shangguan Yi is naturally no longer afraid.

"It's not right, it's not right." Another steady-looking elder shook his head again and again, "The Southern Chu royal family also has a million mercenaries, even if our subordinates are martial arts, it will be difficult for the enemy to fight the sea, otherwise we would not have used that old emperor to implement our plan in the first place." ”

"Hmph, I think you just don't have the guts! This doesn't work, that doesn't work, but you can say that you can let the old man see and understand. The yin and yang weird old man snorted coldly at this provocation.

At this time, the first patriarch who had been silent suddenly said, "Okay, don't fight." I'm here to listen to your opinions, not to hear you quarrel! ”

"The patriarch is angry, I can't think of a good solution for a while, I don't know if the patriarch has any opinions?" The steady Second Elder asked.

The first person on the top wiped away the anger on his face and said in a deep voice: "Now our situation is chaotic, Nanchu"

This side is completely out of control, and the wings of Beiqi and Dayue have been cut off, and the situation is very unfavorable to us. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.
