Chapter 151: The Last City
The new emperor of Panlong Kingdom never thought that his fifth brother's life was so big, and he was still alive, and he didn't know for a moment whether to thank his fifth brother or directly kill the other party.
Zhang Zhang reacted quickly, immediately stood up, and asked politely:
"I wonder how the prince is doing now?"
"The prince was assassinated by a dead soldier and lost an arm, but our empress was merciful and used a three-hundred-year-old ginseng plant in the treasury to save him."
The female official of the Ministry of Rites told the truth.
After listening to the words of the female official, not only Zhang Zhang, but even the new emperor was relieved, and now even if the five princes are alive, there is no threat to them, after all, the prince with a physical disability cannot ascend to the throne.
"The empress is generous, she rescued the fifth brother, this matter"
The newly enthroned six princes obviously wanted to turn the page on this matter, but the female officials of the Fengqi National Rite Department were not easy to fool, they came with a mission.
"Your Majesty, the two countries fought before because your fifth brother infiltrated Fengqi Country to assassinate our empress, but fortunately, the empress was blessed by heaven and did not have an accident, and he himself said it himself, and he did it on the orders of the deceased former emperor.
The empress didn't want to make a big fuss, but just sent a letter of state, hoping that your country could give an explanation and give the empress some compensation, but the former emperor was messing around, not admitting the matter, and sending a dead man to assassinate your fifth brother, in order to achieve the goal of killing people and killing people.
It's a pity that people were rescued by us, and the former emperor also fulfilled you because of his wrong decision!
Your Majesty is now on the throne, as the sovereign of a country, should we give the Empress an explanation? ”
The female official didn't look at the faces of the ministers of the Panlong Kingdom at all, and directly said the words to the bright side, the entire hall was very quiet, and the envoys of the Xuanwu Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom looked at the female officials of the Panlong Kingdom, and their eyes flickered.
"Bold lady, what does this matter have to do with our majesty?"
One of the courtiers of the Panlong Kingdom jumped out and scolded loudly.
The female officer stepped forward, looked around, showed disdain in her eyes, and said loudly:
"How is it irrelevant? Could it be that the emperor who died in front of him was not His Majesty's own brother? Or are you Panlong Kingdom ready to change the name of the country? ”
The female official's words were also very sharp, which made the official who had been scolded before blush, and only said after a while:
"Your Fengqi Kingdom has already seized four cities, what else do you want?"
"Naturally, it's not enough, our empress said at the beginning, we want five cities as compensation, and one less will not work! If you don't want to give, we will continue to send troops! ”
The female officer did not give an inch.
"Shameless!"
"It's better than what you dare to do, don't think that our empress doesn't know your thoughts, doesn't she just can't see that our Fengqi Kingdom is the empress in power, and wants to kill our empress and plunge Fengqi Kingdom into chaos, so you can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman?"
The female officer's counterattack was very direct.
"With such a subordinate method, he dares to boast that he is a man who stands up to the sky! Phew! If you have the ability to personally lead the troops to fight, our empress still respects your ambition to seek the world! ”
The female officer waved her sleeves directly and said loudly.
The voice was so loud that the entire hall could hear it, and then he turned to the envoys of the White Tiger Kingdom and the Xuanwu Kingdom and said:
"Don't stand there and watch the jokes, the Panlong Kingdom dares to think like this to us, will it bypass you? It was only because they did not have the ability to send troops to the three countries at the same time that they used this kind of subordinate means.
As long as the assassination is successful, and the empress has not set the empress dowager, the three princesses will have a fight, and then my Panlong Kingdom will be in chaos, will you still form an alliance with the Panlong Kingdom, and then get a piece of the pie together? I just don't know which of you will be next?
The emperors of your two countries are in the prime of life, and they don't have a prince! There are a lot of princes, right? While you are fighting among themselves, we will continue to eat away at you."
"Nonsense! Hugh is going to sow discord here! Pull it down."
Zhang Zhang immediately spoke.
"Don't bother! The official only brought the queen's request, and you had better give the official an answer as soon as possible, so that the official can go back and resume his life. As long as this official dies in the territory of your Panlong Kingdom today, the Fengqi Kingdom will send troops tomorrow! ”
After the female official finished speaking, she turned around and left the hall with her head held high.
And the new emperor's face was surprisingly dark, and all the courtiers were also talking in a low voice, and the military attache with a bad temper had already shouted that he was going to cut off the sacrificial flag of the female official who spoke wildly, and then sent troops to Fengqi Kingdom.
The envoys of the Xuanwu Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom glanced at each other and did not interject.
"Silence!"
The eunuchs beside the new emperor immediately spoke out to stop them.
Zhang Zhang stood up and said:
"Your Majesty is angry, we can discuss this matter later, let's meet the envoy first!"
With Zhang Zhang's reminder, everyone remembered that there were envoys from the other two countries in the main hall, and everyone fell silent, pretending that nothing had happened just now.
The envoys of the Xuanwu Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom were also very discerning, and after saying the congratulatory messages congratulating the new emperor on his accession to the throne and sending congratulatory gifts, they left the main hall on the grounds that they were tired of traveling and traveling.
After there were no outsiders, the new emperor pulled down his face and said directly:
"Humph! said that it was congratulations, but it was obvious that it was here to block me, since this is the case, then fight! Are we still afraid of a daughter country in Fengqi District? ”
"Your Majesty is wise! The minister is willing to fight."
"Your Majesty think twice!"
"Your Majesty, the treasury is not abundant, and I am afraid that I will not be able to support this big war!"
An old minister with a gray beard stood up and said in a trembling voice.
"What? The treasury is not abundant! Where did all the money go? ”
Xindi's face was completely blackened.
As soon as these words came out, the old minister knelt down directly, and said in a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty, after you ascend the throne, you will reward officials, repair the palace, fill the harem, and prepare for the enthronement ceremony, all of which will cost money."
"Where do the taxes go?"
The new emperor asked sharply.
"Your Majesty, you forgot, because you ascended the throne as emperor, you issued an amnesty for the whole country and exempted from taxes for one year"
The old minister's head hung lower, but the voice reached everyone's ears.
“.”
After participating in the enthronement ceremony, the female officials of Fengqi Kingdom returned to Fengqi Kingdom smoothly and brought back the national letter of Panlong Kingdom.
The rhetoric of the national letter is very gorgeous, the central meaning is that the new emperor ascended the throne, did not want to have any more disputes, let the people suffer from the war, and it can be regarded as wiping his ass for the stupid decision made by the former emperor, giving up a city, ending the war between the two countries, and everyone will still be good neighbors in the future.
The eldest princess asked the female official to read the letter of state, and then immediately ordered someone to take over the new city.
At this point, the abacus of Panlong Country has failed, and Fengqi Country has five more cities, the territory has expanded, and the whole country is full of joy.
The eldest princess completed the one-year task of supervising the country, handed over a satisfactory answer sheet, handed over to the second princess, and took the family to Zhuo Xiuyuan to accompany the ripples.
In the second month of the Second Emperor's Eunuch Kingdom, the rain was abnormal across the country, and it rained intermittently for half a month, forming floods, and several cities were flooded, causing floods.
