East Palace Courtyard.

Chen Mu held a cup of tea, just quietly plucking the foam floating on the tea water.

On the side, it was Li Deqiu, the prince of the party who was still arrogant and domineering last night, but now, he has already changed his face, standing in front of him with a flattering face like a bull.

After a while, Chen Mu said lightly: "Isn't this the majestic prince of the party last night?" What are you looking for? ”

"If the situation changes rapidly today, Your Highness should establish diplomatic relations with our party, so that there will be no war in the northwest, and the Dragon Dynasty will ...... The pressure on the Liao people will be much less. ”

Chen Mu sneered: "As everyone knows, the prince used this matter to threaten the palace last night, why did it change so much today, but it flattered the palace."

As early as when Chen Mu went to the banquet, he asked Longcheng to check the news from the party item, the king of the party wanted to settle the five states too much, it was the ancestral land of the king of the party, and he had been coveting it for so many years, and even when he left, the whole clan set up a banquet to send this Li Deqiu to come.

attaches so much importance to this matter, and the ridiculous thing is that this Li Deqiu dares to threaten himself with this, he really slaps himself in the face!

"Last night, I was ignorant and collided with His Royal Highness the Prince, and I hope to forgive my sins!"

Chen Mu said lightly: "The envoy from a small country on the other side is like this, is this how he apologizes to the palace?"

Hearing this, Li Deqiu's face stiffened!

Long Cheng pointed to the ground and said sharply: "The foreign envoy is coming, kneel!"

"You ......" heard that he was told to kneel, which made Li Deqiu, who was already suppressing his anger, angry.

But the next moment, under Chen Mu's instructions, Long Cheng stepped forward and slapped him in the face!

"You'd better keep your eyes clean! The prince is not one of those officials! Got it? ”

This slap is not painful for Li Deqiu, but it is extremely humiliating!

After so many years of crisscrossing the northwest, how could he have suffered such humiliation?

"This palace likes the way you want to kill yourself, doesn't you want to make it difficult for the five states? Okay, I'll give you a chance, kowtow five heads, one head one state. ”

Chen Mu looked at Li Deqiu with a playful face, how arrogant you kid was last night, I have to make you embarrassed today, but I know that last night, this kid humiliated our entire nation!

If it weren't for some big things that had to be taken into account, it would have been cut off long ago.

Now that the military strength in the northwest is insufficient, it is necessary to throw away the five states of Dingyan to stop internal friction, but the difference is that.

Even if the land is given away, it is necessary to retain the Han people's festival!

Once the spine is bent, everything is over.

Sure enough, after a series of ideological struggles, in the end, the extremely arrogant Li Deqiu knelt down in front of Chen Mu.

"Envoy! Meet His Royal Highness the Prince! ”

After saying that, he slammed into the ground five times, but saw the blushing on his face, the arrogance when he arrived at the Dragon Dynasty, and after that, he disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Chen Mu came to Li Deqiu with his hand, and then leaned down and said coldly: "Remember your kneeling five knocks, this palace will give you five states, but the expedient measures set for the country are by no means soft to you!"

"My Dragon Dynasty will never cut the land and sue for peace, if you want to fight, just come."

After that, Chen Mu patted Li Deqiu's face as if he was stroking a child, and then walked away.

After the people left, Li Deqiu got up slowly, his eyes were full of killing intent: "Today's shame will be repaid sooner or later!"

In the end, with the consent of the emperor and the prime minister, hundreds of miles of land were ceded out.

Under the circumstance that the national strength is insufficient, more land is a burden, and this is the current national situation.

If you don't quickly solve the problems of people's livelihood under the governance of the Dragon Dynasty, there will eventually be chaos.

At the same time, in the prime minister's house.

saw Liu Cheng punch on the table, but a thin old man, but the officials who could shock were terrified.

"This son relied on the emperor's order last night, and he humiliated his true appearance like this, it's really damned!"

Glimpsing the gloom on Liu Cheng's face, the military department Shangshu on the side hurriedly said: "It's just a clown who jumps into Liang, just ask how reckless this kid is, this court is respected by the prime minister."

Hearing this flattery, Liu Cheng's face softened a lot, but now is not the time, even if you have the emperor's order, one day your true appearance will make you a prisoner of the order!

Immediately afterwards, Wang Mo, the secretary of the ministry, said: "But...... Xiangye, in the middle of the door, he was killed by Chen Mu because he didn't pass the chapter to the Shang study, you see this matter......"

Liu Cheng sneered: "If a servant dies, he will die, as long as the people of our six departments are still there, even if he has seen the chapters in various places, and the subordinates do not follow his execution, can he kill all the officials of the Dragon Dynasty?"

"When you ask, just promise a few words, I don't believe it, he dares to move the six officials who are involved in the lifeblood of the country, to let this kid understand, who is the king of this court!"

Hearing this, everyone smiled, and then bowed their hands: "Obey the order."

Since Tian Long took over the province, all the chapters from now on have been sent to the Shang study.

Important pieces from all over the country were handed over in piles, which was also the first time Chen Mu saw the real situation of this country.

Among them, the most stated movement is the current situation in the northwest frontier, as the Dragon Dynasty weakened more and more, the party people in the northwest became more and more rampant.

Now that it is a cold winter, these nomadic barbarians will from time to time come to the border villages to hunt grass valleys, and the people of the entire northwest border line will be miserable for rape and plunder.

This is also the reason why the King of Xiliang supported the sending of the five states of Dingyan and the internal relocation of the people, the border of the five states of Dingnan was too vast, and the troops were insufficient, so there was no way to defend it.

Next, is the famine in various places, now it is a severe winter, Henan Kaifeng Mansion suddenly encountered a winter disaster, and then because of an earthquake, the house collapsed, the famine in the four places rose again, starved to death and froze to death tens of thousands, now Henan disaster situation is urgent, urgent need for disaster relief.

The instructions of the household department are one million taels, for this place in Henan, Chen Mu expressed his understanding that it has been a place of natural and man-made disasters since ancient times, perhaps because the geographical location is too important.

However, Chen Mu soon attracted his attention by another piece of music, and the Kaifeng Mansion in Henan Province suddenly encountered mountain bandits and thieves who took the opportunity to make trouble, and the local Xiang army was killed and wounded thousands, and asked the imperial court to issue military pensions.

Fifteen thousand taels of approvals.

Seeing this, Chen Mu suddenly felt that there was definitely a connection hidden in these two pieces of paper.

Wrong!

"Long Cheng, you take a look at these two pieces of paper to see if there is any problem."

Long Cheng just glanced at it, and immediately asked: "Although the Xiang army is not a forbidden army, it is also a regular army, how can it be so heavy in the face of some bandits and bandits?"
