……

In the fourth year of Xuanwu, on the eighth day of the fourth month, Natuoluo City ......

"It's been almost a month, why haven't the army of Great Eclipse and Rest come to the aid of Gu, do they want to watch my noble widow die in the country?"

Only a month later, Qi Ruosi, who was in the prime of life, seemed to be a teenager old, and her temper became more irritable than a month ago.

He roared heartbreakingly at the ministers in the palace, cursing the Han army for not emphasizing martial virtues, and reprimanding Lian Dashi and Anxi for their treachery and failure to come to the aid in time, which made the situation in the country of the noble widow take a sharp turn for the worse.

What is the situation on the front line, Qi Ruosi's eyes are also dark, and he doesn't know whether the million-strong army is dead or alive, plus the fall of the Turbo Fortress has caused panic among the people in the city, and the residents' rations that should have been delivered have also been lost, causing the price of grain in the city to soar, and it has reached an astonishing point of ten gold in the bucket of rice, and there is no market.

All of this made the king even more violent and moody.

"Speak! It's all dumb! Do you have to rely on the lone king to support the noble widow from top to bottom? ”

In the face of Qi Ruosi, who had almost lost his mind, the ministers were silent.

Even Tun stopped talking, quietly watching as Chiruos went crazy in the hall.

I saw Qi Ruosi pointing at everyone and said: "When the Han army attacked, you all tried to rub its sharpness, saying that Bai Qi was just fighting some small countries, and it was not on the stage.

also said that my noble widow is strong and strong, and it is easy to sweep away the Han Dynasty, but it has only been a few months? Why don't they speak now?

What's the use of the Lone King wanting you bunch of waste! ”

Speaking of excitement, he slammed the marigold containing the wine to the ground, making a crisp metallic sound.

Finally, a minister couldn't bear it anymore, got up and shouted: "Enough Qi Ruosi, as the king of a country, but like a shrew scolding the street, do you still have a little royal bearing?"

You say that we tricked you into going to war with the Han army, but who supported the original plan to attack and disturb the border of the Yue Clan? Isn't it you, the king?

Now that the situation is not as expected, you don't think about your own responsibilities first, but instead blame us? Does that sound like a word? ”

Qi Ruosi was furious when he heard this, and someone dared to call him by his name, but he simply didn't take himself seriously.

"Buy not March, you dare to despise the Lone King? Believe it or not, the Lone King killed your whole family! ”

Mai Bu March sneered: "You want to kill my whole family? Don't forget, how did you get to the throne?

At the beginning, we joined forces with Lord Guozhang to depose your brother, and you only ascended to the position of king, in terms of qualifications, do you think you are worthy of sitting on this throne?

Put away your intimidation, half of the city's defenders have fled, and no one will care about you, the king with no name. ”

Qi Ruo's angry outburst was like thunder: "If you can't buy Madge, I want to crush your bones and ashes!" ”

Mai Bu Ma Qi was not afraid: "If you have the guts, you can try it, kill us all, and if you have it, go alone to meet the anger from Bai Qi!" ”

"Someone! Someone! Drag down this rebellious thief and behead him for public display!" ”

However, as if they hadn't heard, the guards at the door looked at Chiros indifferently, without the slightest intention of acting.

"What? Do you want to do the opposite?! Do you want you to take down the Maqi and become deaf? ”

Buy no Ma Qi snorted coldly: "Don't waste your efforts, faint king!" Do you know how long it's been since your palace guards eaten?

If it weren't for the help of the ministers, I am afraid that you would have starved to death, and you would not even be able to support the people in your palace, do you think there will be someone to give you your life? ”

Qi Ruosi was shocked, and then looked at the ministers, but saw that all the officials in the palace threw unkind eyes at him, and he couldn't help but feel a chill, and sat back on his throne tremblingly.

At this time, Hu Dun spoke: "If you can't buy Madge, let's respect the king, after all, he is still the king of the noble widow, how can he be so humiliating?" ”

Mai Bu March snorted lightly, and then saluted to Tun: "The lesson of the Prime Minister is that I was abrupt. ”

After speaking, he sat back on the blanket directly, and there was no apology on his face.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

He straightened his clothes, ignored Qi Ruosi, who was already stunned, and said directly to the ministers: "In this situation, it is no longer possible to fight with Bai Qi by force.

Only the idea of taking the initiative to negotiate peace with Bai Qi may be able to save some of the situation, of course, in order to keep their own family, the ministers will inevitably have some losses,

But as long as we get through it, after Bai Qi withdraws from the army, our losses will naturally be slowly made up through various means, but at the moment we must determine what kind of situation has been carried out between General Nan's army and the Han army.

I don't know who would like to go to the Han camp and meet Bai Qi to discuss the contents? ”

Everyone immediately turned their heads to each other, mostly discussing how much blood they should give to make it cost-effective.

As for who went to the Han camp to negotiate with Ren Tu, everyone took the initiative to ignore it.

Ma Qi was still a little reluctant to take out his savings, and couldn't help asking: "Prime Minister, isn't it true that Da Shi and the noble widow will come to help?" ”

He shook his head and said, "I'm sure that it is absolutely impossible for Da Shi to send a single soldier to help my widow survive this crisis.

Because the division of the territory between them and the Sassanid has collapsed, and the border between the two countries has 300,000 soldiers, how can they care about the affairs of our noble widows? ”

Qi Ruosi was shocked when she heard this: "What? A possible war between the Great Food and the Sasanians? When did this happen? Why doesn't the Lone King know? ”

He glanced at Qi Ruosi, but did not answer his question, and continued to say to his ministers: "As for rest, they are a group of bandits who cannot afford to make a profit.

I have sent an envoy to tell me that unless my noble widow is willing to give out 300,000 gold ingots at a time, and promises to let them plunder the city of Natuba for ten days.

Otherwise, he would not have agreed to the request to send troops, not to mention that Mohtar, the king of rest, was facing a threat from the Baisai Empire, and even if he sent troops, the number of people would not be enough to turn the tide of the war.

At present, only the extravagant hope that the Han army will agree to negotiate peace can end this endless war. ”

The Baisai Empire was a huge city-state established on the eastern continent by the Romans Empire, which once spanned three continents.

After the Roman Empire was destroyed by the Gauls, the continent of Zhuzhou was divided into countless small countries, and the Baisai Empire has become the spiritual belief and religious center of the Zhuzhou countries, and it is also the direct successor of the Romanine Empire.

The First Lotus Crusade more than 30 years ago was also called by the Baiser Empire and the Holy See, taking advantage of the fact that the countries of Middle-earth were attacking each other, and seized a holy place called Jerusalem.

Now, the Fourth Lotus Crusade has begun its crusade again, this time with the goal of not just faith, but more to seize the wealth of the mysterious land of the East.

It seems that the Crusaders have become a group of officially recognized legal bandits, bringing endless slaughter to the countries of Zhongzhou and even Zhuzhou in the name of eliminating heretics.

However, these issues are not the issues that the noble widow needs to consider at the moment, and now everyone just wants to send Bai Qi, the plague god, away.

After all, Natuoluo City is almost exhausted, and the landlord's family has no surplus food, so if it continues like this, it won't last long at all, and the Baiqi army has not yet arrived, I'm afraid that half of the people in the whole city will starve to death first.

"If you have no objections, then hurry up and draw up a reasonable plan and send a reliable person to send it to the Han army camp.

I think that as long as Bai Qi gets benefits, he should be able to withdraw from the army, and I also know a little about that distant eastern country.

As long as their emperor gives enough face, he will not embarrass us who send good intentions, as long as he waits for the White Qi army to leave the noble widow,

It won't be long before you will be living a prosperous and privileged life as before, so don't be stingy with your wealth and food.

There is a saying among the Seris people, "If you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of no firewood, and everything will be fine." ”

After saying this, the ministers thought for a moment and agreed to his suggestion.

Next, it's time to discuss how much each family has contributed.

In less than a quarter of an hour, 120,000 gold ingots and 1,200,000 silver coins were raised, plus 100,000 stone grain, 20,000 sheep, 5,000 horses, and 5,000 ploughing oxen.

Qi Ruosi felt great irony, not only did these ministers directly ignore their own king, but they also did not expect that these ministers contributed money just to keep their position, but no one was willing to give a penny for their own king and country.

Sad, really sad......

For a moment, Qi Ruosi only felt two words circling in his head.

Ridiculous!
