"Your Majesty, it's not that the minister is bold, but that the minister told the truth. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Shen Yan was not afraid of the angry emperor at all, and said with a sincere look in his eyes.

"I'll give you a chance to plead." Seeing that there was not the slightest timidity and fearlessness in Shen Yan's eyes, Xia Qi forcibly restrained his anger, as if he was also trying to give himself a step.

"Your Majesty, five hundred soldiers are nothing to Great Xia, they are just a group of weak ants, but the embankment of thousands of miles is destroyed in the anthill, they are not incapable, but they are not good at flies and dogs, and they tend to be spurned by the upper peak, this is not the heart of five hundred soldiers, it hurts the military heart of Great Xia." Shen Yan looked at the emperor fearlessly, and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, this is definitely not a very isolated phenomenon. ”

"Your Majesty, let me ask a Great Xia without military heart, how to ensure the safety of the border passes, how to ensure the peace of the people, and how to ensure the foundation of Great Xia." Shen Yan knew that at this moment, he must not vaguely say a lot of reasons, this is useless, he must give the emperor a heavy hammer, even if he is punished by the emperor, he can get the heart of five hundred thorny soldiers, retreat, he can get rid of the emperor's mission of making himself a lonely minister.

"I knew it would be fine for you to see me." Xia Qishen sighed, how could he not know about the corruption of the army, but he simply didn't have enough energy to catch it, which was not something that could be settled by moving one or two people, but because of the needs of reality, he could only turn a blind eye and break the situation of the court first, forcing the strength of the gate valve to surface,

"Your Majesty, look at what you said, the minister seems to be a plague god, is the minister so unlikable, the minister thinks he is still quite handsome." Shen Yan gently touched his face, looking self-absorbed.

"Your Majesty, give the minister three months, no, one month is enough, the minister will definitely build a Great Xia royal army for the emperor who dares to show his sword in every battle and will win the battle." Shen Yan then said seriously.

"Shen Yan, your tone is not small, what about the Great Xia Royal Army, which is still victorious?" Xia Qi's face was disdainful, if it weren't for the fact that he liked the other party in his heart, he would have called for someone to expel him from the palace, "Wait, what are you talking about?" The Great Xia Royal Army? ”

"Yes, Great Xia Royal Army." Shen Yan nodded affirmatively, "Your Majesty, what are the ministers used for training?" Of course, if you go out, you will fight with external enemies, and if you retreat, you will be able to exterminate the White Lotus Sect and bandits, and if you retreat, you can take care of the emperor's home. ”

"Shen Yan, you yourself don't know how to train soldiers, but why do you say that you want to build a Great Xia Royal Army for me." Xia Qi's eyes were filled with a hint of expectation, a hint of suspicion, and a hint of wisdom.

"Your Majesty, the ministers do have no experience, but this is not a problem, what the ministers want is that they can be of the same mind with the ministers, the ministers point to the east, they go to the east, the ministers point to the west, and they go to the west." Shen Yan said confidently, and suddenly thought that all this was given by the emperor, and his limelight must not surpass the emperor, "The minister is the long whip of the emperor, as long as the emperor holds it, throw it off, and the minister will hit it." ”

"Your Majesty, if the ministers want to gain their recognition and support, they must solve one thing, raise their food standards, and let them receive the military salaries they should receive." Seeing a flash of change in Xia Qi's eyes, Shen Yan continued.

"You said it easily, do you know how many people I have to hold accountable for recovering military salaries, I don't dare to say that easily, do it easily." A trace of helplessness, a trace of resentment and a hint of disappointment appeared in Xia Qi's eyes.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to ask the emperor for an errand." Shen Yan's eyes rolled slightly, "The minister wants Wangjianglou to contract the food of these five hundred soldiers, and as for the cost, if the emperor takes pity on the minister, he will take some rewards from the treasury to the minister." ”

"As for their military salaries, the minister thinks that they don't have to go through the military department and the household department, and they can directly go through the way of purchasing in the palace to Wangjianglou, and then transfer it to them from Wangjianglou."

"I know that your kid doesn't have any good intentions, you are a person from Wangjianglou, and Wangjianglou will definitely benefit from doing this, but what can I gain?" Xia Qi seems to have become a philistine businessman at this moment, and he will not let go when he sees interests.

"Your Majesty, how can you be like this." Shen Yan seemed to be a concubine who had been abandoned by Xia Qi, her face was full of grievances, and she didn't seem to need the emperor to be much better than the meritorious businessman, "Your Majesty, the minister can take a step back, and the month's expenses and military salary will be settled by the minister himself, but after a month, the emperor must give the minister double the remuneration." ”

"The emperor please give the minister a month, a month later, the minister will lead these five hundred soldiers and the elite of Jinling to a hard-fought confrontation, if the minister is lucky to win, the minister hopes that the emperor can agree to the minister's request."

"Shen Yan, I think you should be more successful in business than you are now." Xia Qi's originally angry mood suddenly improved a lot, and a sincere smile appeared in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, before the minister was promoted by the emperor, he was the adviser of Wangjiang Tower." Shen Yan's face had a smug look written on his face.

"Shen Yan, you take a look at this recital first, and then tell me your opinion." Xia Qi, who was in a good mood, casually picked up a piece of music from the desk and threw it to Shen Yan.

Shen Yan carefully took the fold, quickly browsed it, and found that the fold was submitted by Mengbei County Vigil Zhaohui, the content is that the biggest enemy of Great Xia, Beihu sent a delegation to Jinling, one is to improve the relationship between the two countries, the second is to discuss the establishment of a border pass to increase the border trade, the third is to make peace, the prince of Beihu wants to marry the princess of Great Xia, the fourth is the elite of the scholars of Beihu who is preparing for the Wenhui Great Xia, and the fifth is the most elite team of Great Xia to have a head-on confrontation.

"Wow, this Beihu's tone is not small, the little national teacher is so arrogant." Shen Yan said with emotion.

"Although Beihu is arrogant, but their strength should not be underestimated, I recruited the strong people of the world to sweep the grassland in Saibei to fight with Beihu, although I achieved a great victory, ensuring that Beihu did not dare to commit the border for many years, but I also won a tragic victory in the first war that year, and the strong people in the world can or come back less than four out of ten, and just like such a big loss, I can't continue to wave the army to the north and solve Beihu once and for all." A trace of memory appeared in Xia Qi's eyes, with a hint of sadness.

"Your Majesty, if there was no battle that year, how could the Great Xia border pass be stable, although the losses in this battle of Great Xia were extremely heavy, but relative to the stability of the border pass, this battle was worth it." Looking at Xia Qi, who looked a little sad, Shen Yan suddenly felt that the emperor was very tired.

"Beihu has recuperated after that war, and now his strength is gradually recovering, but I don't know if my strength in Daxia has also returned to the state of the year. A glimmer of wisdom flashed in Shen Yan's eyes, "Since the national teacher of Beihu wants to find out the truth of my Great Xia, the minister thinks that he will have a grand meeting with them, and the minister believes that with my accumulation of more than 300 years in Great Xia, I will be afraid that the national teacher of the little Beihu will not succeed." ”

"Shen Yan, do you know why I appreciate you?" Xia Qi didn't seem to give Shen Yan a chance to answer this question at all, as if he was asking himself, "Many of your remarks are very sophisticated, and most of them are in line with my intentions, so what can you say about how to deal with Beihu Guoshi and his party?" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers think it's too grand, it's too grand to give Beihu face, their face is not worth the emperor's fanfare The whole world knows, as if my Daxia is afraid of them, but keep quiet, and it will make them think that my Daxia is not polite, in this case, the emperor might as well let the Ministry of Rites get a plan, but the emperor has always stayed in the middle and did not send it, and when Beihu and his party are about to arrive in Jinling, the emperor will let the Ministry of Rites send officials to receive the gift of the vassal country." Shen Yan thought about it and felt that a drag word was most in line with the emperor's wishes, otherwise the emperor listened to the gentle chin of his head, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

"As for the matter of the field, when the time comes, Lord Qiu will be sent to negotiate, as long as this principle is grasped, the outflow of iron and salt must be strictly controlled, as for the prosperity of the field, the minister feels that this is a mutually beneficial matter, how to operate, the emperor must know better than the minister."

"As for harmony, it's ridiculous, my Great Xia is a big country, and my strength in Great Xia is far stronger than that of Beihu, how can there be a reason for a princess to marry outside, the minister thinks that Beihu really wants to be friendly, yes, let them marry the most beautiful princess of Beihu to my prince of Great Xia."

"As for Wenhui and Wudou, then meet the wishes of the Beihu National Division, what my Daxia Shizi is best at is Wenhui, are you afraid that they will not succeed in the outside world, martial arts, although Beihu has always been aggressive, but my Daxia army is not bad, isn't it."

"Your Majesty, the time of Beihu and his entourage is a month later, at that time, the results of the competition between the Daxia royal army led by the minister and the elite of Jinling also came out, if the Daxia royal army led by the minister won by luck, the minister wanted to ask for a meeting with the Beihu warriors for a while." Shen Yan finished his opinion in one breath, and finally took the initiative to ask for help with anticipation in his eyes, saying that Beihu was very powerful, and he didn't know if it was true or false, if he was really lucky to fight with Beihu and won by luck, not only would the Great Xia Royal Army be famous all over the world, but also his position in the emperor's heart would be firmer, and his status in the court would also rise, and those courtiers wanted to move themselves, they really needed to weigh it, thinking of this, Shen Yan really looked forward to that day coming as soon as possible.

"Shen Yan, are you sure?" Xia Qi had never seen a young man so open and confident in front of him, and he almost really believed it.

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, confidence may not necessarily win, but no confidence will definitely lose, although the minister does not dare to pat his chest and say that he has done it perfectly, as long as the emperor gives the minister a month and gives the minister the military salary he wants, the minister will dare to issue a military order." Shen Yan puffed up his chest, and a hint of pride appeared in his eyes.

"I believe in you." For some reason, Xia Qi seemed to see what he looked like when he was young from Shen Yan's body, and dared to think and do, "Xu Sanyuan, take out five thousand taels of silver from the treasury and hand it over to Shen Yan as the salary of the Great Xia Royal Army, and at the same time, I will personally write the Great Xia Royal Army as their banner. ”

"The minions obey." Xu Sanyuan's eyes showed great surprise, for more than 30 years, no courtier has ever been able to let the emperor withdraw silver from the treasury, not even the prince, don't look at the emperor only mentioned five thousand taels of silver, but this accounts for almost one-tenth of the treasury, this is just a place that surprised Xu Sanyuan, and the other place is that the emperor wants to write the Great Xia Royal Army by himself, since the emperor ascended the throne, he has never inscribed the people in the military, even if there was no decisive battle with Beihu back then, how high is this Shen Yan in the emperor's heart?
