Chapter 246: Private Conversation with Long Xiguo (Part II)
"Don't think that you can hide from the world, it's you who provoked the war in Longxi!" Xue Chong was indignant and shouted loudly to accuse.
"Joke! Your Longxi civil strife is because your former Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness King Jing, King Zhennan and King Zhenbei are very dissatisfied with you people, so they rebelled, because they rebelled, so Longxi has civil strife, which one here has anything to do with me? ”
"You dare to say that you didn't do the fire in the Longevity Palace? If you didn't do it, why did you live? Why did you flee from the country of Longxi? ”
"What does your mention of the fire in the Longevity Palace have to do with the civil strife in Longxi that you mentioned? General Xue, what exactly do you want to say? Chenguang put one hand on his cheek, looked at him with the eyes of caring for mentally handicapped children, and asked coolly.
"You still want to deny it! It was you who set fire to the Longevity Palace, and the first emperor died! Xue Chong pointed at her and said angrily.
Chenguang's eyebrows frowned slightly, tilted his head, thought blankly for a while, nodded his head and said, "Oh! Do you mean, because the first emperor died and no one suppressed it, there was civil strife in Longxi Kingdom? ”
She immediately turned her head and pointed at Xue Chong and complained to Shen Run: "Xiao Run, this kid looks down on you, he said that your father is powerful, so there will be no civil strife in Long Xi Kingdom, and he said that you are a stupid person, so you have just ascended the throne Long Xi Kingdom will have civil strife." ”
Xue Chong didn't expect her to distort his words so cunningly, and he suddenly panicked, trembled, and dumbfounded.
Shen Run's face sank like water.
Chenguang glanced at Xue Chong's blue and white face, stared at Xue Chong's father sitting in the front row, spoke softly, and said coldly:
"Whose poodle hurry up and get it back, it's embarrassing!"
"You ......" Xue Chong was furious.
"Xue Chong, kneel!" Xue Cheng's face turned pale, and he shouted loudly.
Xue Chong trembled and knelt down.
Xue Cheng stood up, knelt down, and pleaded guilty to Shen Run:
"Your Majesty is angry, Xue Chong has followed Your Majesty since he was a teenager, Xue Chong's loyalty to His Majesty is known, but today Xue Chong lost his honor in front of the emperor, and he is also an old minister and godson, and the minister and Xue Chong are willing to be punished, please condemn Your Majesty!"
Shen Run glanced at him coldly, he also knew that there was a stirring of morning light in this. Xue Chong has a straight temperament since he was a child, and he is easy to take the bait, and he also kept him by his side because Xue Chong has been by his side since he was a child, but Xue Chong has grown up, but his temperament has not grown up at all, and sometimes he feels a headache.
The punishment is certain, but not now, now it will only be the end of the morning light to lose Long Xiguo's face.
"Xue Qing, get even." Shen Run said lightly.
Xue Cheng understood what Shen Run meant, said "Thank you, Your Majesty" in a loud voice, got up from the ground, and sat back in his seat.
Shen Run didn't mention what happened just now, and let Xue Chong kneel on the ground, he faced the morning light, and asked lightly:
"What exactly do you want to say?"
Chenguang smiled, she didn't bother Xue Chong's stupidity anymore, she looked at Shen Run's face, and replied in a light tone:
"I want to say, because a lot of money was spent in the war, although the war has stopped now, Long Xiguo's military expenses are also about the same, and he is about to make ends meet, right? When it really came time to make ends meet, Long Xiguo had only two ways to go, either to increase taxes, or to cut military expenditures and reduce soldiers. With the current tax of Long Xiguo, if it is increased, it will become a harsh tax, and only a tyrant will impose a heavy tax, and if it is not done properly, it will ruin the country, and this road will not work. Then the only way to do this is to cut spending and reduce the number of soldiers.
But in the past, when it was still the Seven Kingdoms, there were Yanyun, North Vietnam, and South Vietnam to cover the bottom of Longxi Kingdom, but now North Vietnam is a country that is dead, and Yanyun Country is a country of Shang that can be ignored, and without the bottom, Longxi Country can only go to compare its military strength with Chiyang State and Cangqiu Kingdom, which is already reluctant, and if you really cut expenses and remove soldiers, Long Xiguo's military strength will become a foreign powerhouse and a middle cadre, which is the easiest to covet wolves. Therefore, it is more important to reduce military spending than to increase taxes. ”
Although Shen Run didn't want to admit it, she had to say that her analysis was completely correct, and everything was true, so that people couldn't find the words to refute it. If she formed such a judgment just by having a war in Long Xi Kingdom, it would be difficult for Shen Run not to admire her, her head was even smarter and clearer than some idiots in the court of Long Xi Kingdom.
The ministers of Long Xiguo were speechless to refute Chenguang's words.
Being pierced at the weakness with a sharp point is simply heart-wrenching, as if it was stripped naked in front of everyone's eyes.
Shen Run looked at her silently, she wouldn't say this for no reason, her purpose in saying this must be related to wanting Long Xiguo to recognize the regime of Xinfeng Netherworld.
"Long Xi Guo can station a part of the army in the territory of Feng Ming Kingdom, and the military expenses of this part of the army will be borne by Feng Ming Kingdom, as long as Long Xi Kingdom is willing to recognize the existence of the new Feng Ming Kingdom." The morning light hooked a soft smile, but the words he said were a thunderbolt, shaking the heavens and the earth.
Not only Shen Run, but even Long Xiguo's courtiers were shocked.
What is it?
Garrison?
Feng Ming Kingdom actually took the initiative to speak, allowing Long Xi Kingdom to send troops to Feng Ming Kingdom!
The news was so shocking that it was so scary that many people were already trembling with excitement when they heard the news.
Ever since those people learned that the late Empress Former was now actually the Feng Lord of the Feng Ming Kingdom, they had been constantly fantasizing about how Long Xi Kingdom could use their marriage relationship to get hold of Feng Ming Kingdom, which had annexed North Vietnam and bordered Long Xi Kingdom.
And now, what is there to use, the Feng Lord of the Phoenix Kingdom has opened his mouth. Although she didn't say that the Feng Ming Kingdom belonged to the Long Xi Kingdom, the army of the Long Xi Kingdom was stationed in the Feng Ming Kingdom, and the army was stationed in the Feng Ming Kingdom, what is the difference between this and occupation? The reality is not to say that the Fengying Kingdom is owned by the Longxi Kingdom, and there is no need to spend a single soldier, and there is no war.
The big bargain of pie in the sky, the people of Longxi couldn't believe it, they looked at each other, and they didn't know whether to rejoice or panic.
Shen Run was also excited, but there were as many doubts as excited, and he was wondering what trick she was going to play. But after thinking about it, no matter what tricks there are, it is a fact that the army is stationed, once the army is stationed in the Fengming Kingdom, no matter what tricks Chenguang wants to play, it will be useless in the face of powerful troops.
"You mean really?" After staring at her silently for a while, Shen Run opened his mouth and asked in a solemn voice.
"I also said yesterday that the reason why Feng Yingguo did such a risky thing is because he wants to get out of the desert, because he will not be able to live if he continues to stay in the desert. Now that the Feng Netherworld has come out of the desert, I am already satisfied, I don't want to do anything more, I just want the people of the Feng Netherworld to live in peace. As long as Long Xiguo promises not to interfere in the government of Feng Ming Kingdom, I can promise to let Long Xi Guo's army garrison Feng Ming Kingdom. Xiaorun and I are husband and wife, and we should support each other, so I am Xiaorun. Chenguang bent his eyebrows and said softly, "And the Long Xi Kingdom sent troops to the Fengming Kingdom, on the one hand, it can save military spending, and on the other hand, it can also be wary of the Chiyang Kingdom." Since the Feng Ming Kingdom connected Chiyang and Long Xi, Long Xi Guo should be very worried that the Chiyang Kingdom would cross the Feng Ming Kingdom and approach the border of Long Xi Kingdom, right? ”
Shen Run looked at her shining eyes, paused, and denied it lightly:
"Long Xiguo doesn't have the same worry as you said."
Chenguang looked at him with a smile and said:
"Then, let me ask Emperor Chiyang, see if Emperor Chiyang is willing to garrison the Phoenix Netherworld, if the Chiyang Kingdom is willing, it will be regarded as acknowledging the existence of the Xinfeng Netherworld."
When Shen Run heard this, his face sank.
The moment she spoke, he felt that she was planning at both ends, and sure enough, she was playing the calculations of Longxi and Chiyang.
Once the Chiyang Kingdom is really stationed in the Feng Ming Kingdom, the Long Xi Kingdom will be finished.
