Chapter 16: Revenge

"Naturally...... The grass people dared to bring all the frozen oolongs to the palace. Shen Yue raised his head slightly, but his tone remained brisk, "Please Your Majesty to condemn the crime." ”

But the moment his words fell, Sheng Changmu's face couldn't help but stiffen.

Nowadays, the territory of the Central Plains continent is divided into four parts, especially the Yue State and the Xing State are the strongest soldiers and horses, followed by the Chu State, the Yu State is the weakest, and there are countless small countries around.

A few years ago, the first emperor of Great Chu died, and there were Yue people eyeing each other, and then there were old ministers in the court who were uneasy.

Of course, the condition is that Da Chu needs to offer the corresponding things every year, and divide two border cities to Xing Jun.

There is a frozen top oolong in the tribute, this kind of tea is the best in the winter tea, and the output is very small, in the Chu palace it is far from in short supply, yes, if the winter tea picked in the south of the Yangtze River every time is to be offered to the Xing people according to the ratio, then the frozen top oolong in the palace is very few.

Although it is an important tea, it represents the word "insult".

All of a sudden, the ministers of the court and the central government were furious, and they stiffened their necks to prevent Sheng Changmu from answering.

Later, when Jiangnan was in danger and was attacked by the Yue people, Sheng Changmu, who had just ascended the throne, was forced to sign this agreement that humiliated the country.

With the help of Xing Guo, Yue Guo withdrew as he wished, but the heavy loss was none other than Da Chu.

After offering the treasure and cutting the ground, Xing Ren's move is tantamount to "robbing while the fire is burning", but what can they do?

When the first emperor was in power, he emphasized the suppression of military force, which had already led to the majority of Chinese officials in the DPRK, and when the foreign enemy invaded and hit the doorstep, there was no one in the DPRK who could lead the troops, and on the huge Jinluan Palace, there were only Yan officials who scolded Yue and Xing Erguo so much that they spat on the stars.

If verbal and written criticism is useful, Da Chu will never be defeated as a country that has lost power.

Now thinking of the sudden change back then, Sheng Changmu still has palpitations, and that sense of decadence surged back into his heart, pressing him out of breath! Sheng Changmu looked at Shen Yue coldly, "What does Shen Qing mean by this?" ”

Bringing up the old things openly and secretly, is he saying that he is useless as the king of Great Chu?

Shen Yue hurriedly lowered his head in fright, Sheng Changmu could only see his jade crown with his hair tied at the top, and only listened to him: "Your Majesty is angry, the grass people are panicked, and you have no intention of mentioning the arrogant behavior of the Yue people...... It's just that now, the grass people think that Da Chu doesn't need to bow to the Xing people anymore......"

"What did you say?"

Sheng Changmu's wrinkled eyebrows loosened slightly, and there was a lot of incredulity in his eyes.

Paying tribute to Xing Guo has always been a matter of his heart. Since the Great Score of the World, there is no more centralized power in the Shang Dynasty, and there is no need to pay tribute to any country.

After the scattered states were stable for decades, this balance was broken by the fact that the Chu state offered tribute to the Xing state, and if nothing was done, it reverted to the bad habits of the previous period of great unification.

For him, for all the Chu people, this is a history of humiliation.

But now, according to the strength of Da Chu's soldiers and horses, he is not against Xing Guo at all, and he can't erase this shame.

Shen Yue repeated the words again, his attitude could not be more respectful, Sheng Chang Mu Song eased his expression, and he said, "Shen Qing, please hurry up." ”

Shen Yue swore like this, if he didn't have great certainty, he wouldn't have come here.

He secretly told Shen Linzhi about this regret several times, but he didn't expect anyone to be able to think of it, but now this Shen Yue ......

Sheng Changmu's mood was indescribably complicated, and he had previously made a presumptuous conclusion, saying that this Shen Yue was not.

Shen Yue sat down with a smile, and watched the emperor's face on the high platform change in turns, and finally his eyes turned into a trace of shame, and the waiters waiting in front of the hall were immediately dismissed by him.

The door of the temple, carved with intricate branches, was slowly closed.

"Your Majesty, do you know the princess of Yue Kingdom?"

There was silence in the hall, and Shen Yue spoke calmly.

There are a total of eight princes under the name of Yue Jun, all of whom are not from Echigo, but for decades, there are countless new concubines and concubines in the Yue Palace, but there is still a place for Echigo.

This is not that there is anything outstanding about this Yue Hou who can win the favor of Yue Jun, but that she gave birth to the only eldest daughter of the concubine.

Everyone in Dayue knows that the Yue princess Feng Oak has the grace of Yue Jun, but all the treasures that can be found are held in the Yue Palace, Yue Jun waved his hand, and they all became the doll of Princess Bo with a smile.

What's more, there is also a rumor among the people that Yue Jun has not established a prince for many years, in order to help Feng Que become the empress......

In short, the status of this princess Yue in her heart can be seen.

Sheng Changmu pressed his expression and asked rhetorically: "Who doesn't know the princess of Yueguo?" Shen Qingmo didn't want me to start with Feng Li......"

As he spoke, a sarcasm appeared on his lips.

At the crisis moment when the Vietnamese army was pressing the border and suffering from internal and external troubles, how could he not think of finding weakness by his side? But as early as a few years ago, this phoenix oak had disappeared, and even if an agent was sent to investigate, it was still helpless.

"If Shen Qing wants to talk about Princess Yue, then there is no need!"

Thinking of the previous frustration, Sheng Changmu's eyebrows were dyed with impatience.

Shen Yue shook his head slightly, "Two years ago, when the grass people traveled all over the country, they accidentally found some traces of Princess Feng Oak. As he spoke, he looked straight at the figure on the high platform, "The princess was married to Li Zongming, the general of Xing State, a few years ago. ”

"Impossible!" Sheng Changmu subconsciously vetoed his words, "Yue and Xing have been grudges for a hundred years, how can they ......?"

Slowly, as if he realized something, the emperor's throat was dry, as if he had been strangled by someone, and he couldn't make a sound anymore.

The strength of the Yue State and the Xing State is the most feared, if the two countries join forces to gradually swallow up the Chu and Yu countries, it is completely within reach, but the Central Plains has still been shrouded in Pingning for so many years, which is entirely due to the fact that these two countries have formed a deep feud many years ago.

So much so that after the world was dispersed, the two countries of Vietnam and Xing did not even sort out the traffic fortresses, and this situation of ignoring each other has continued for decades, and everyone thought that this situation would continue.

But a few years ago, when Yue Guo suddenly sent troops, he didn't say the reason, he went straight to Da Chu, and he was not afraid that Xing Guo would come to "praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind"?

Later, Xing Guo only sent 50,000 light cavalry, which had not yet fought with the Vietnamese army, and the Yue people hastily withdrew their troops.

Naturally, he is not afraid.

The answer in his heart was faintly wanted, Sheng Changmu's face was extremely ugly, his fists were clenched tightly, and there was not only resentment but also panic in his eyes.

What a Xing country!

borrowed this east wind from him, and asked him for the city of Dachu for nothing! And all these years of humiliation!

Seeing the understanding in Sheng Changmu's eyes, Shen Yue got up and lowered his head to cover the irrepressible upturn at the corner of his lips.

"Your Majesty, now the grass people have a plan, but they can avenge the revenge of the Yue and Xing countries back then."
