Chapter 70: The Messenger Who Wants to Lose His Head

"The Prince of Nanyue is a heroic figure, just like his legendary mother, just like this splendid cherry blossom, the flowering period is too short, and it is very easy to wither suddenly."

"Pathetic! Alas! ”

As the monarch of the neighboring state of Western Chu.

Naturally, there is no pity for this.

And we should be glad for that.

Float on a big white!

"Hahahaha!"

After floating a big white.

Mi Duo asked the chamberlain to call the prime minister.

Write down the requirements for peace talks in advance.

"The annual tribute of grain shall not be less than 500,000 stones."

South Vietnam is located in a bumper grain harvest.

500,000 stone is the sum of the country's grain taxes.

Prime Minister Qu Cheng understands that the demands for peace talks are negotiable.

It was written on the national letter without mercy.

"In addition, at least 20,000 young adults are needed to come to Xichu to be pioneers."

Miduo held out two fingers, feigning drunkenness and complaining.

"Xiang Hong alone can reach 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Jinling also folded 30,000 horses."

"Lone just asked Zhang Chengqian's old boy to compensate me with 20,000 young adults every year, which is already a blessing and cannot be reduced."

Thinking of Xiang Hong's death.

Prime Minister Qu Cheng deliberately added an ink dot to this article.

to show non-negotiable.

"And marriages...... Proton ......"

Miduo said a lot.

He couldn't write a letter of state, but he still couldn't get enough of it.

At the beginning, it was just Xiang Hong who made Zhang Chengqian's old boy scared and moved north.

Now Xiang Yu rushed to Jinling to avenge the murder of his father, and solved the only possible rise of South Vietnam, Zhang Junlin.

Zhang Chengqian's soft egg is the mutton on the board.

He picks bones and eats meat and sucks bone marrow.

"When the national strength of South Vietnam is sucked up, the big horse will be solved, and he will be directly destroyed like a vassal of Wu."

"At this moment, Zhang Chengqian can't wait for many years, hahaha!"

Prime Minister Qu saw the free-spirited monarch.

Put pen to paper again.

He also attached everything that the nobles wanted to ask for from the South Vietnamese Kingdom.

I am not afraid that the South Vietnamese monarch will not agree.

……

"Is that how you write?"

It was the first time that Zhang Junlin had written a letter to someone in a serious manner.

In particular, I write with a brush...... Although the calligraphy of the predecessor is okay, it is only improvised.

Coupled with some of his own insights, he also has a bit of a wild grass temperament...... It could also be scribbling.

"His Highness's font is quite unique."

Zhang Junlin was cheeky and took Dong You's words as a compliment.

The font is not important, the content is more important.

In his letter, he made clear the importance of Zhenzhou connecting the northern and eastern borders of South Vietnam.

and hopes that Jiang Zhu can help, and cooperate with his plan to transfer Jiang Cheng back to Zhenzhou.

If there is no defender in the city, he can still be the master and change the guard.

But what should he do if he doesn't have a city of soldiers?

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

"Your Highness, the news of Xiang Yuzhi's death has not been concealed for a long time, and the possibility of Jiang Cheng returning to Zhenzhou is very small."

Dong You's words are very objective and fair.

Zhang Junlin sighed secretly, and did not put any more pressure on Dong You beyond his strength.

"Say hello to Jiang Zhu first, in case you need it, even if you can't go back to Zhenzhou now, you will still come back sooner or later."

Some things don't have to be explained to smart people.

After Dong You's pupils shook suddenly, he lowered his head and added a few words at the end of the letter.

Double-checked, and it really didn't leave anything important.

Call the messenger.

"This is the messenger who sent a letter to the emperor last time?"

Zhang Junlin just called the name.

Immediately the messenger fell to his knees.

"Little Wang Chengcheng has seen His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Uh-huh, hurry up, you can tell me about the reaction of the emperor and empress after they learned about the assassins of Xichu that day, as well as what you saw and heard all the way north."

Dong You suddenly realized that he had missed this important point.

Just thinking about writing a letter and asking the local officials.

I forgot.

Even if it's a casual look, the messenger is the one who knows the situation best.

"When the little one left Jinling City, he found that there were a lot of refugees ......"

Wang Chengcheng's speech is very clear.

Very talented in storytelling.

And he is also very good at picking and choosing the key points.

He told everything he saw and heard along the way from Jinling to Yancheng, where the emperor was at that time.

In the end, when he arrived in front of the emperor, the murderous "sword light and sword shadow" in front of the emperor did not see blood.

The messenger was still a little afraid.

"Fortunately, Xiao handed over the letter in time, otherwise His Majesty might have to go back to Jinling."

"Your Highness, you don't know, Your Majesty, the people on the way north are all complaining, and those royal families and magnates are like robbers, and our Jinling City is not like a country at all."

“……”

Dong You glanced at the messenger who accidentally confided in his heart.

I feel that even at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor learns the true situation of Jinling, I am afraid that it will not be good to come back and sit on the dragon chair.

Even if you sit on the dragon chair, whether you can really give orders or not depends on two things.

"Wang Chengcheng, you say this in front of the palace, the palace only thinks you are telling jokes, don't you dare to say such headless words in front of outsiders."

Zhang Junlin stared at Wang Chengcheng with deep eyes, but he didn't blame.

Wang Chengcheng pretended to be taken aback and reacted, and hurriedly confessed.

"Alright, let's go deliver the letter, and when we come back after delivering the letter, you go and collect the retired messengers, and let them help train a batch of messengers."

"The palace must first revitalize the three-hundred-mile post stations around Jinling, and we can't live up to the emperor's power to reward the palace for eight hundred miles."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Wang Chengcheng was already when he said the words that lost his head.

You will be mentally prepared to be given an important mission.

At this time, it is also not shocked.

Picked up two letters, put them close to him, and trotted out of the door of the government hall.

Until you turn over and get on the horse.

Only then did the messenger dare to smile with joy in a place where no one could see.

"Your Highness, there are some things that should not be done too blatantly, and they are ...... in the history books."

"Those who recorded the annals of history fled north with the emperor, why should the palace avoid him?"

“……”

Also.

Dong You thought that among the countries, many of the current monarchs of the overlord countries have stepped on the blood of their fathers, brothers and children all the way.

I decided not to talk about it again.

His Highness decided what to do, and he followed him for the rest of his life.

If there is a stigma.

He Dong You will also carry a copy on his back.

"The original soldiers and horses in Zhenzhou can't be counted on, so the palace will go to the barracks to talk to the eldest sister and see if he can come up with any good way to solve it."

Zhang Qunxing saw that Dong You was about to stand up and send him out, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and motioned for him to sit back.

"Taishi can't overwork, we have only taken the first step, and the latter is crucial."

"It's easy to fight the world, it's hard to defend the world, and this palace doesn't want you to be blessed with the dragon's work."

“……”

Dong You saw that many officials and officials were standing at the door waiting.

Hearing His Highness speak so blatantly about his ambitions.

Even if I'm used to it, I still feel like my heart is beating wildly.

Look at the subordinates outside who hung their heads and pretended not to hear.

He decided to wait until he woke up and give these juniors a lesson.
