Chapter 568: Northern Phoenix Emperor
General Wang saw that King Liang made an example against the crown prince, he was originally a member of King Liang's party, so naturally he agreed with King Liang, so he also said: "Emperor Qi, the last general feels that what King Liang said makes sense, our Beifeng Kingdom is no longer the bottom country now, and its strength has far surpassed Dongfeng and Nanfeng, and the new emperor has just ascended the throne now, and the foundation is not yet stable. ”
Hubu Shangshu immediately came out to object: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is impossible, the prince's proposal is very good, don't look at the new emperor of Xifeng Kingdom before ascending the throne, but he has already controlled Xifeng Country and built Xifeng Kingdom behind his back."
Now that the four borders of the Xifeng Kingdom have strengthened their defenses, it is very difficult to defeat the Xifeng Kingdom.
And Xifeng is now developing very well, they are building official roads on a large scale, what south-to-north water diversion project is in full swing, they are growing high-yield grain, the people of Xifeng are hungry in the early stage, and now, after the autumn harvest of the people of Xifeng, the people of Xifeng will no longer be hungry.
On the other hand, in my Beifeng country, at least one-third of the people are not well fed and clothed, if there is really a war, our soldiers will not be able to eat enough, how to fight with the well-fed soldiers, isn't it to take stones from eggs.
I hope the emperor will think twice, don't listen to some people's provocations, and start a war regardless of the consequences. ”
And now that the treasury is tight, and fighting a war consumes money and food, it is really burning money and food.
Those military generals don't know that salt and rice are expensive, and they shout and kill when they open and close their mouths, don't soldiers eat when they fight, don't they need food and grass, they don't consider these problems at all, and only want to make their own military merits to make oil and water.
General Wang saw that it was the old man of the household who came out to oppose it, and he also shot him to provoke the emperor, he said angrily: "You old horseman only knows how to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and everyone has bullied us, and you don't dare to make a sound, do you really want to stretch out your face and beat them, do you think it's feasible?" ”
Hubu Shangshu rolled his eyes at him: "General Wang's words are unreasonable, it was originally Princess Zhaoyang who did something wrong, and when she came back from the failure of her relatives, she had to assassinate the queen of the family, so she didn't think about the consequences, that Queen Xifeng was pregnant with triplets, and she really wanted to stab her to death, that was one corpse and four lives, and our Beifeng Kingdom could withstand the wrath of Emperor Xifeng."
Now no one has made any reaction, just waiting for our Beifeng Kingdom to give an attitude, now not only do not express their position, but also want to fight with others, aren't you pouring oil on the fire like this, roasting Beifeng on the fire.
In short, the old minister supports the peace talks, and the compensation is better than the war, so he has to go to war, and he blames the old minister for not paying for the food or money, and if he wants to pull out the money and grain from the treasury, then step on the old minister's corpse. ”
"You, you old puppet......"
General Wang was so angry that his nose was crooked.
When the prince of Beifeng saw that the Hubu Shangshu supported him so much, he immediately said: "Father Emperor, what Lord Chen said is extremely true, the Xifeng Kingdom is no longer the Xifeng Kingdom of the past, and the Xifeng Emperor is even more powerful, he easily killed a few martial arts masters with his own strength, and the retainer saw it with his own eyes......"
The crown prince repeated the scene he had seen, and then said: "Father does not believe it, there were two envoys present at that time, and father can ask them again." ”
The crown prince is out of the way, and today he must let his father adopt his advice, and don't listen to King Liang.
He didn't believe that his father couldn't see King Liang's wolf ambitions.
The scene on the day Emperor Xifeng ascended the throne, and the scene that asked him to bring his words back, are still vivid, such a person like a god is not something they can afford to provoke at all.
It can be said that no one is his opponent today.
At that time, the envoys who accompanied the prince with the envoy had the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the waiter of the Ministry of War, and they both stood up together, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites said: "Your Majesty, what the prince said is not wrong, today's Xifeng Kingdom is not the weakest country at the beginning, even the Prince of Nanfeng and the Prince of Dongfeng left early as soon as the ceremony ended, and did not stay in Xifeng Country for a while, and when we came back, we saw a thriving scene along the way, please think twice." ”
"Please think twice!"
When the princelings heard this, they came forward one after another to ask for instructions.
King Liang and General Wang were so angry that they were going to die, especially King Liang, there had been no war in Beifeng Kingdom for many years, and he couldn't make military merits if he wanted to, but now that there was such an opportunity, the prince actually dared to spoil his good deeds.
He glanced at his people, and immediately there were ministers who made an example: "Emperor Qiqi, the ministers are opposed, they say that our Beifeng Kingdom is so unbearable, what is the difference between this and betraying the country to seek glory, we will fight, and we will beat it back." ”
This person didn't mention Princess Zhaoyang's assassination of Su Yue at all, and deliberately deviated from the facts to divert the emperor's attention.
As an emperor, no matter how weak he is, he can't allow others to trample on his dignity, let alone others say that he is weak.
Sure enough, when he heard the minister's words, he roared and said: "Enough, what Wu Aiqing said makes sense, even if Zhaoyang is at fault first, isn't the queen not dead, she actually detains Zhaoyang and doesn't pay it back, and she still speaks to threaten me, am I so unbearable?" ”
Then he pointed to the humanity of the prince's party: "And you, every time you are like this, greedy for life and afraid of death, you are a group of cowards, he Xifeng still dares to send troops, I will let him go and never return." ”
"General Wang listens to orders!"
General Wang was overjoyed, and he hurriedly listened to the order: "The last general will listen to the order!" ”
"You lead 300,000 troops to the border pass, wait there, I immediately repair the book Xifeng Emperor released Zhaoyang, if you don't let go, you will beat me hard."
"Father, don't!"
The prince was startled and hurriedly spoke to stop him.
"Your Majesty, don't be impulsive, sending troops is a big deal, you can't be so hasty."
Tobe Shangshu also hurriedly persuaded him.
"Presumptuous!"
The Northern Phoenix Emperor roared angrily, he glared at the prince and the head of the household, and shouted: "Someone! ”
Immediately, guards with knives rushed into the court.
Emperor Beifeng pointed to the two princes: "The prince and the Hubu Shangshu are openly disobedient to me, and they are put in the heavenly prison, and no one is allowed to see them without my permission!" ”
"Yes."
The guards with swords immediately came up to fetch the prince and the Tobe Shangshu.
"Father, you can't be angry for a while, this will make a big mistake, father, father......"
In the distance, the prince's heart-rending shouts could be heard.
There is also the voice of the head of the household: "Your Majesty, if you don't listen to the old ministers, you will suffer a big loss, you shouldn't listen to the slanderous words of the traitorous ministers, where are they for the good of Xifeng Country, they are provoking you, their purpose is not pure, please think twice, the emperor, the emperor ......"
Outside the courtroom, there was only a sound of pleading.
"Presumptuous, presumptuous!"
The emperor was so angry that he smashed things, and the folds on the dragon case were scattered all over the ground.
