"Talk as you go!" Zhao Junsheng put down the pen, closed the music and got up and walked out.

Hua Mulan came up and took his arm and asked, "What are you going to do about this?" ”

"Let's hear what the ministers think!" Zhao Junsheng said, turned his head and asked, "Why haven't I seen you all day, where have you been?" ”

Hua Mulan said: "It's not a matter of the Charity Federation, I asked the Ministry of Industry, they rented us a house as a meeting site, originally most of the officials of the Ministry of Industry agreed to donate a set to the Charity Federation, but Wu Da did not agree, only willing to rent it to us without rent, I only heard that he slammed the door before, but I didn't expect it to be to such a point, and the house is not his family!" ”

Zhao Junsheng laughed when he heard this: "It's because it's not his family, so he can't be the master of donating to the Charity Federation, I think this method of renting to you without charging rent is very good!" ”

Mulan wrinkled her nose and turned her head to pretend to ignore him.

Zhao Junsheng saw her like this, and smiled secretly in his heart.

"By the way, what about the third child?"

"Her grandmother misses her, I'll have someone send her over to take her for a few days!"

"Oh! That's good, and the elderly can be happier with their grandchildren around! ”

The two came to the Qinzheng Hall hand in hand, and when they arrived at the door, they walked into the main hall one after the other, and the minister immediately shouted when he saw it: "See the king and princess!" ”

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan sat down in front of the throne and raised their hands: "Flat!" ”

The ministers shouted again and stood up and retreated to the sides.

Zhao Junsheng said to the ministers: "Today, the edict of the orphan called all the ministers over because there is a major matter to discuss. Lu Xuanbo, you tell Zhongqing! ”

Lu Xuanbo immediately said in a few words about Li Shun's contact with the princes in the north, "According to the current situation of the black-clothed guard, Li Shun has at least persuaded Daqian, Xi and Leopard, and the lieutenant should still be under consideration, and the king ordered Xiangzhou to assassinate Shi Pang as a messenger to go to Luoyang to see the lieutenant, and there is no news for the time being!" In addition, the black-clothed guard's detailed work in Jiankang has already found out that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty is considering whether to unite with the Yunzhong court to jointly send troops against our country, and according to the black-clothed guard's detailed secret report in the clouds, the Yunzhong court has also sent an envoy to Rouran, and it is unknown whether Rouran agrees to send troops together! ”

After Lu Xuanbo's words were finished, no one in the hall made a sound for a long time, and all the ministers were obviously stunned by the news.

In the middle of the sound, someone said: "So that my country is now an enemy on all sides?" ”

National teacher Kou Qianzhi stood up and said: "You can't say that, aren't the Southern Dynasty and Xi Family still thinking about it?" Rouran didn't know what the situation was, and Lao Dao thought that my Qianguo still had a chance to win over the Wei family and the Southern Dynasty! ”

Gao Yun stood up and arched his hand and said: "Great King, if the Yunzhong Imperial Court unites all the princes, the Southern Dynasty and Rouran to jointly send troops to attack our country, our country will face a very difficult situation, so the minister thinks that our country cannot sit idly by and must think of destroying their union!" ”

Zhao Junsheng asked, "In Gao Qing's opinion, how to destroy their union?" ”

"The old minister thinks that our dynasty can send envoys to meet with Lai Daqian, Xi Juan, and Pi Leopard respectively to persuade them to submit to our dynasty! In addition, our dynasty can also send people to the Southern Dynasty and Rouran, and we can make friends with the Southern Dynasty and Rouran in the form of marriage! ”

"Gao Shangshu's words, this official does not dare to agree!" Dongfang Chen stood up and said, he bowed his hand to Zhao Junsheng: "King, now that there is the Yunzhong Imperial Court to pull the line, all the princes, Rouran and the Southern Dynasty know that it is advantageous to jointly send troops to attack our country, and they clearly want to send troops together to carve up our country, no matter how hard we try, they will not be tempted, because we can't get enough benefits for them not to participate!" ”

"But the minister agreed to send envoys to the princes, the Southern Dynasty and Rouran, if they can persuade them not to participate, it is good, if they can't be convinced, then find a way to cause trouble for their union, delay as much time as possible, and buy time for our country to meet the war!"

Cui Hao stood up and said: "The king, the minister thinks that Dongfang Shangshu is reasonable, my dynasty can also send envoys to Beiliang, Beiliang and our dynasty do not border, there is no conflict of interest, but Beiliang and Xi Yuan, Leather Leopard, and even Daqian have conflicts, if I send envoys to the court, I should be able to win them, so that they can send troops to attack their backs when Xi Juan, Leather Leopard and Daqian send troops to attack our dynasty!" ”

"There are also Tuyuhun and Qiuchi, our dynasty can also send envoys to Tuyuhun and Qiuchi, make friends with him, and let them make trouble for the leopard and Xi Xuan!"

Lu Xuan stood up and said: "Cui Gong wants to win over Qiu Chi and Tuyuhun is only afraid that it is unlikely, Qiu Chi is mainly based on the Southern Dynasty, they take the Southern Dynasty as the leader, and Tuyuhun is a branch of Murong Xianbei, the Xianbei people will definitely help the Xianbei people, how can they be won over by our dynasty?" ”

Cui Hao said with a smile: "Lord Lu's words are wrong, what if Tuyuhun is a Xianbei person?" Now that the prestige of the Yunzhong Imperial Court is not there, as long as our court gives enough benefits and benefits, even if they are brothers, they can turn against each other! As for Qiu Chi, they are indeed the suzerainty of the Southern Dynasty, but that is because they were bullied too hard by the Wei State in the past, they had to take refuge in the Southern Dynasty, and now the Wei State does not have the prestige of the past, the Qiu Chi State does not need to obey the orders of the Southern Dynasty at all, and the poor subordinate relationship between them is not reliable at all, as long as our country promises benefits, it is completely possible to buy Qiu Chi to the Southern Dynasty and the leather leopard to make trouble! ”

Zhao Junsheng was in high spirits when he heard this, and he slapped the imperial case and said loudly: "This method is very good, our Qianguo is not short of money, as long as we can buy Qiu Chi and Tuyuhun, it is worth spending more money!" If they don't have scarce money, what if they are allowed some land, cattle and sheep? As long as you can destroy the conspiracy of the Yunzhong Imperial Court this time, everything will be fine! ”

At this time, Li Song stood up and said: "Great King, the minister remembers that in the past two years, the Wuluohou, Didouyu, Murowei, and Beji tribes in the northeast have successively sent envoys to our country to pay tribute to our country, why don't our country give these barbarians some money, buy them, and let them send troops to help our country fight?" ”

When Zhao Junsheng heard this, his eyes lit up and he laughed: "Hahaha······ This is a good idea, the barbarians in the knots in the northeast have a great demand for salt, cloth, iron pots, porcelain, pottery, and grain, if our country sends envoys to transport these things and let them send troops to help us fight the Rouran, presumably they will not refuse! Where is Li Yuande, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites? ”

"The minister is here!" Li Yuande stood up and agreed.

Zhao Junsheng issued an edict: "The Ministry of Rites will draw up a list of envoys who will send the strength of all parties as soon as possible for Lone Guoyan!" The household department should also move quickly, and prepare the gold, silver, money, utensils, food, cloth, and other goods that the envoys are to carry with them! The court in the clouds can engage in conversity, and our Qianguo can naturally engage in contemplation! ”

"Your Ministers obey!"

Under Zhao Junsheng's order, all the yamen of the imperial court took urgent action, and a list of envoys from all sides was quickly released and sent to Zhao Junsheng.

After reading it, Zhao Junsheng made slight modifications and sent it back to the Ministry of Rites to implement the list, and the ministers and officials on the list quickly went to the palace to meet the driver after receiving the notice from the Ministry of Rites.

Zhao Junsheng, Dongfang Chen, Cui Hao and several other ministers gave instructions to these envoys and asked them how to behave during their missions.

When the envoys came out of the palace, they settled down in their homes, and the next morning they set out for their destinations.

It would take some time for these envoys to arrive at their destination, and Zhao Junsheng and the ministers also knew that they could not remember, so they only ordered the black-clothed guards to pay close attention to the envoys' itinerary and report the baldness condition at any time.

On this day, Zhao Junsheng called Lu Xuanbo and asked: "Is there any news from Xiangzhou Thorn Shi Pang?" ”

"Back to the king, there is no news yet! The king, the minister thought that the king did not have to be anxious, in terms of time, Pang Ji should not have arrived in Luoyang at this time, after all, the secret edict was sent to Yecheng, and then Pang Ji had to make relevant preparations after receiving the secret edict, and then set off for Luoyang, which would take time! ”

Zhao Junsheng also knew that he was anxious, and said to Lu Xuanbo: "Now that our Qianguo is facing an extremely difficult situation, it is a critical moment of life and death, all the secret agents and officials of the Black Guards must be 120,000 points of spirit, pay close attention to the enemy's movements, report immediately if there is an abnormal situation, don't be afraid of wasting resources, if you don't go all out to mobilize the Black Guards now, there will be no chance in the future, and the spies and officials who have performed well in this incident should be rewarded, and those who should be rewarded should be rewarded. Those who should be promoted should be promoted, understand? ”

"Don't worry, the king understands!"

After Lu Xuanbo left, Zhao Junsheng walked out of the Winter Warm Pavilion and moved his muscles and bones, walked around, and when he walked to the corridor, he saw Mulan walking over in a big hat, so he asked, "Mulan, where are you going?" ”

Hua Mulan said: "The Charity Federation has set up a preliminary shelf, but the momentum is not big enough, the ability to raise funds needs to be improved, I have made an appointment with the wives and concubines of many ministers of the DPRK and China, and invited them to enter the Charity Federation to do things, these women have a wide range of ways and relatively high knowledge, if they can enter the Charity Federation to do things, the ability of the Charity Federation to raise funds is greatly improved!" ”

After speaking, Mulan asked, "By the way, do you want to go and meet those noble ladies together?" With you on the platform, I think they will be even more enthusiastic."

Zhao Junsheng hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't don't, don't call me!" Wouldn't it be boring for me to go alone as a group of women with a group of women together? Besides, three women in one play, let alone a group of women, I am afraid that my head is going to explode when I think of that scene, so you better go by yourself! ”

Hua Mulan pouted, "It's always a matter of pushing back to let you help with some work, if you don't go, I'll go by myself, hum!" ”

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand behind him and shouted: "You wear more clothes, it's very cold outside!" ”

"Got it!" Mulan raised her hand and waved, promising to leave without looking back.

She took her maids and some guards out of the palace in a carriage, and soon arrived at the Charity Federation, where Lilac greeted her and saluted: "Niangniang! ”

Mulan stepped down from the carriage and asked, "Have those noblewomen and women arrived?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, it's already here!"

"Let's go, let's meet them!"
