Zhao Feilong stepped over, bowed to Xiao Chen, and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Boru, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asks to see you." ”

After the establishment of Huaguo, Zhao Feilong was appointed by Xiao Chen as the commander of the forbidden army, responsible for the safety of Kyoto, and he was also Xiao Chen's confidant.

Hearing that it was Yang Boru, Xiao Chen nodded lightly and said, "Let him come up." ”

For Yang Boru, Xiao Chen actually has mixed feelings in his heart, when he was young, he can be said to hate Yang Boru to the core, in his opinion, Yang Boru is a pedantic scholar, except for studying some book knowledge, nothing else.

But as he understood more deeply, Xiao Chen gradually realized that the so-called rotten Confucianism was not useless.

In these readers, there are indeed many delicate and ideas that military generals do not have, and military generals are needed to fight the country, and it is indeed necessary to be like a group of talented people to govern the country.

Although Xiao Chen still didn't like Yang Boru in his heart, he still gave him the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and his pedantic rigidity just happened to shine in the Ministry of Rites.

After a while, Yang Boru walked slowly onto the white wall.

Yang Boru is an old man in his prime, with a wrinkled face and a handful of goatees.

But despite his age, Yang Boru still holds his head high when he walks and steps, as if he is showing the word rules and etiquette all the time.

Coming to Xiao Chen, Yang Boru bowed down and said, "Your Majesty!" ”

As Xiao Chen's former mentor, Yang Boru did not have the slightest master's frame in front of Xiao Chen.

is the so-called heaven and earth monarch and teacher, the way of the monarch and the minister is before the master and apprentice, how can Yang Boru, who abides by the rules, exceed the rules?

Xiao Chen hated this the most, but he still waved his hand calmly and said, "Get up, why did you come to find me this time?" ”

Yang Boru bowed down again and said: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the old minister came this time to ask Your Majesty to take back his order and not to fight against the Qianguo again." ”

Xiao Chen shook his head playfully, in fact, after hearing the news that Yang Boru was coming, Xiao Chen knew Yang Boru's intention.

"I can listen to your opinion on other things, but I don't have a choice in this matter." Xiao Chen's attitude was resolute.

"Your Majesty!" Yang Boru knelt on the ground when he heard this: "Huaguo has been fighting one after another, and the people have long been struggling to make a living, and if they continue to fight, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to Huaguo and the common people in the world." ”

Xiao Chen nodded: "What you said, why don't I know it?" ”

"Yang Boru, if it is in peacetime, I will definitely consider it seriously if you say this, but do you know that if today, it is already an extraordinary time, and all the countries in the world are eyeing each other, just waiting for which country to show fatigue, and then they will rush up like evil wolves and swallow it up."

"The battle of Yong'an came from this."

Yang Boru took a deep breath and said: "Weichen understands, but Weichen really can't figure it out, what does this matter have to do with His Majesty's attack on Qianguo." ”

Xiao Chen said lightly: "At an extraordinary time, we must use extraordinary means, Huaguo has just been established, and the world knows that our Huaguo is in ruins." We want to grow, but do you think other people will let us recuperate so easily? ”

"The reason why I sent troops, in addition to my selfishness, is also to tell everyone in the world that I am a person who does not play cards according to common sense, and whoever dares to offend my country, I will do everything I can, and I will also break the net with him."

"Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, and as for making others afraid of us, we have a chance to recuperate."

Yang Boru kept shaking his head when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the old minister does not agree with Your Majesty's idea, if the war breaks out again this time, there will be even greater chaos in Huaguo." The old minister thought that he should first appease the people's livelihood and then make plans. ”

Facing Yang Boru's words, Xiao Chen smiled unexpectedly and said, "Then what if I say no?" ”

Yang Boru buried his head on the ground: "That minister, kneel and die here today!" ”

took a deep look at Yang Boru who was kneeling in front of him, and Xiao Chen looked teasing. If it was his previous self, I am afraid that he would have driven Yang Boru away with a stick.

But after becoming an emperor and having the power that everyone envies, he didn't dare to do it again.

Because Yang Boru is right, his original intention is not to harm himself, but to be different from his own concept.

Governing a city can be done without scruples, but governing a country requires extensive advice.

Many times, there is no perfect answer to a single thing.

With a chuckle, Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "Yang Boru, Yang Boru, that is, I became the emperor, so I saved you." ”

"Well, if you want to kneel, then you can continue to kneel!"

Shaking his head, Xiao Chen brushed his sleeves and left.

In the same place, Yang Boru knelt motionlessly, not moving at all because of Xiao Chen's departure.

Zhao Feilong stepped forward and said in a condensed voice at Yang Boru:

"My lord, once Your Majesty's mind is decided, it will never change, and even if you really kneel here today, he will not change his mind."

Yang Boru raised his head sadly and angrily when he heard this: "Unauthorized use of swords and soldiers is a disaster for the country, if Your Majesty continues to insist on doing so, he will be counterattacked." ”

Zhao Feilong smiled, looked at Xiao Chen's departing back and said, "I Zhao Feilong don't understand these things, I just kindly admonished my lord, Your Majesty has seen too many dead people." Even if you die on your knees here today, it doesn't mean anything to Your Majesty. ”

"In my opinion, adults still take care of their own affairs. At the beginning of the Chinese Kingdom, most of the etiquette rules were copied from the previous dynasty, and there were many rules that had to be adapted to the times. ”

After saying this, Zhao Feilong nodded and walked away.

In place, Yang Boru looked at Xiao Chen's back blankly, and after a long time, Yang Boru sighed and sat down on the ground!

……

In the face of Huaguo's attack, Qianguo also attached great importance to it, and successively sent several envoys to come to peace talks, obviously not wanting to tear his face with Xiao Chen.

But Xiao Chen still turned a deaf ear and still chose to send troops.

On August 13, the mighty army of Huaguo set off directly from Yong'an and went straight to Qianguo.

In the face of Xiao Chen, who insisted on going his own way, Qianguo had no choice but to send Sun Yixiao to lead an army of 200,000 to garrison Yangnan City again!

Xiao Chen drove the expedition in person and arrived downstairs in Yangnan City on the same day.

A total of four or five hundred thousand troops from both sides were outside Yangnan City, and Sun Yixiao rode his horse to the front, shouting at Xiao Chen in the chariot not far away:

"Your Majesty Xiao Chen, the last general Sun smiled, can you please ask Your Majesty to come out and talk about it?"

Xiao Chen stepped out of the carriage, rode his horse to the center of the battlefield, and said indifferently:

"Something to say!"

Sun Yixiao also drove his horse to Xiao Chen, and then made a courtier salute to Xiao Chen, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Hua Kingdom has just been established, at this time, I really can't figure out why Your Majesty wants to invade the border of my Guizhou State, is it possible, is Your Majesty really going to be an enemy of my Guizhou State?" ”

Xiao Chen smiled coldly when he heard this: "General Sun, what you said is too ridiculous, when the country of China was weak, you launched two attacks on my Yong'an, and now that I have unified the country of China, why can't you be ashamed?" ”

"Could it be that the general thinks that I am a soft persimmon and can be manipulated by others?"

Hearing this, Sun Yixiao chuckled and said:

"Actually, Your Majesty understands the truth, so why be so aggressive?"

"Your Majesty, there are four kingdoms in the world, and I can guarantee that the emperors of each country are all dreaming of dominating the world. The reason why Qianguo sent troops to Yong'an twice was because the previous dynasty was weak at that time, and it was an opportunity to send troops. ”

"Sending troops is the trend of the times, not against Your Majesty."

Xiao Chen smiled: "So, I still have to understand the empress of your Qianguo?" ”

Sun Yixiao shook his head and said, "Definitely! ”

"I came this time, just to tell Your Majesty one thing, if our two countries go to war, then the benefit must be the Wu State that is watching from the wall, is it possible, Your Majesty is so willing to make wedding dresses for others?"

Xiao Chen grinned and showed a line of white teeth, and said lightly: "That's because you don't know me with a smile, I'm a person, I have always had revenge, as for the consequences, I never thought about it!" ”

"If you Qianguo dare to send troops to me, I will definitely fight back!"

"You!" Sun Yi smiled angrily and said angrily: "Your Majesty has to be obsessed? ”

Xiao Chen showed a look of ruffianism, and said indifferently: "If you want me not to go to war, there is a way!" ”

Sun Yixiao's face softened slightly: "What way?" ”

Xiao Chen continued: "Throughout the ages, there have been royal family and relatives, you tell the Emperor of Qianguo, if she is willing to marry a princess to me, I will be her son-in-law, you say, how can a son-in-law beat his mother-in-law?" ”

Sun Yixiao's face changed suddenly: "Your Majesty, the so-called harmony is a move by a weak country against a strong country, do you really think that if you unify Huaguo, you can already be a strong country?" ”

Xiao Chen shook his head, but said in a low voice:

"I'm just reminding you that when Yong'an was attacked, in order to keep Yong'an safe, you took a woman from me, and now, in exchange for your Qianguo being attacked, if you want peace, return her to me."

Sun Yi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: "You mean that ......"

Xiao Chen hit the railway while it was hot: "As long as the Empress of Qianguo does what I say, you can rest assured, I will never mention her past, and from now on, she will only shout in the wind!" ”

Sun Yi smiled and pondered, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, you ...... Let me give your majesty a message! ”

Xiao Chen nodded lightly: "I should let your empress know, but I'm in a hurry, I will only give you two days, and after two days, if you don't have people, no matter how many soldiers and horses you have laid in Yangnan, I will lead my troops to break through Yangnan." ”

Taking a deep breath, Sun Yi nodded heavily, and then patted the horse away.

As the two separated, the two sides, who had been stuck in a confrontation a moment ago, quickly retreated.

And almost at the same time, a fast horse with an expedited speed of thousands of miles hurriedly went from Yangnan City to Kyoto, Qianguo......

Some people died, but not completely......
