Chapter 268: Bai Ze instructed
"Bell"
In the Great Xia Palace, the emergency bell rang wildly, shaking the whole city.
In the Tianxia Palace.
Emperor Xia sat on the dragon chair with a solemn face: "Ladies and gentlemen, the 200,000 army led by the eldest princess of the Heavenly Wolf, the soldiers have pointed at Tianmen Mountain, the Huangzhou has fallen, and the king of the Huangzhou is nowhere to be found. ”
At this time, the 100,000 reinforcements led by Marshal Li had just arrived at Tianmen Mountain and launched a defense on the spot, preparing to resist the attack on Qingzhou by the Heavenly Wolf army. ”
"There is information from the Heavenly Wolf Country, this time, the Heavenly Wolf Princess is preparing to occupy the Wasteland and not leave!"
"The Sky Wolf Empire, this time I want to annex the Wasteland!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you say?"
All the ministers bowed their heads, and no one dared to "receive" Emperor Xia's gaze.
The strength of the Heavenly Wolf Empire and the ferocity of the Heavenly Wolf Cavalry have long broken the hearts of the ministers of Great Xia!
The barren state is a bad land.
After the people of Huangzhou are all wicked or sinners, they are chicken ribs, and if they are occupied, they will be occupied!
Anyway, it's a place outside the law.
Fall, fall!
Wasn't the emperor mentally prepared?
As for the Wasteland King Summer's original Nine Emperor Prince's fiefdom of Wasteland, didn't he just let him go to death?
Now, isn't it exactly what the emperor wants?
The civil and military officials of Great Xia are all human spirits.
At this moment, the ministers have already made up their minds to pretend to be deaf and dumb in the matter of the fall of Huangzhou, and never talk much, so as not to provoke the fire.
At the beginning, the emperor wanted to kill the king of Huangzhou, and everyone in the Great Xia court knew it.
As a result, the crown prince was deposed for this matter and placed under house arrest in the worship hall, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Therefore, a companion is like a tiger!
The emperor's mind was impossible to guess.
At this time.
In the entire palace of the world, there was silence.
Emperor Xia sat on the high dragon chair, and the dragon eyes inspected the ministers in the palace, feeling powerless in his heart.
Usually, when there are good things, the hall is full of people who sing praises of virtue.
Now the country is in trouble, and there is not even a single person who is clamoring to fight back!
Is this his minister of Great Xia?
Are you so afraid of werewolves?
"Bang"
Emperor Xia was angry and slapped heavily on the armrest of the dragon chair: "Say?"
"Aren't you very good at talking on weekdays?"
"Why are you dumb when you encounter national difficulties?"
"Don't we really want a wasteland?"
The crowd remained silent.
Emperor Xia's heart is rising: "Do you think I am a faint monarch and think that you can be fooled at will?"
"Puff"
The ministers in the palace were so frightened that their knees weakened, and they knelt on the ground: "The ministers are dead!"
"Hahaha"
Emperor Xia's angry laughter was full of killing intent: "Ten thousand deaths, ten thousand deaths, as soon as you encounter the matter of the Heavenly Wolf Empire, you know that ten thousand deaths, you only have one life, how can you die ten thousand times?"
"Do you want me to kill you, and then whip you 10,000 times?"
The ministers' faces changed greatly, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads: "The ministers are dead!"
At this time, the emperor in the Tianxia Palace was furious, the hundred officials were panicked, and the historians were working hard to write the appearance of the Xia Emperor and the important ministers at this moment into the history books.
Emperor Xia's anger was blazing, and he directly named him: "Prime Minister Zuo, you are not only the head of the hundred officials, but your daughter Sima Lan also went into the famine with the Nine Emperor Princes, and now she doesn't know whether she is alive or dead, aren't you panicking?"
"Don't you have an idea in mind?"
Sima Jian said calmly: "Back to Your Majesty, the land has been lost, the prince has fallen, the only thing you can do is to send troops to fight back!"
"Let's send another 200,000 troops to recapture the wasteland!"
That's right!
Sima Jian didn't panic at all!
The Battle of Huangzhou, after the end of the war, sent people to the imperial capital in the summer, told Sima Jian what he knew one by one, and brought two pieces of dragon meat.
One piece is for him.
One piece is for Sima Mei.
Before going to the court, Sima Jian had already eaten Jiaorou stewed old hen, and he was so refreshed that he felt brisk when he walked.
In this battle, the 200,000 Heavenly Wolf Army in Huangzhou was captured, and the Heavenly Wolf Princess was captured.
Twenty years of shame in the barren state, once snowed.
Twenty years of grievances were once released.
Now that the king of Huangzhou has gained a firm foothold in Huangzhou, from now on, the Sima family will keep their promise and fully support him.
Perhaps, no one would have expected that the Nine Emperor Princes, who were kicked out of the imperial capital in embarrassment, might be the real Saint King.
At the beginning, he took a risk, but today it seems that he was right!
As soon as he thought of this, Sima Jian wanted to laugh.
Emperor Xia's eyes were sharp: "Prime Minister Zuo, I ask you, can my money and food in Great Xia still support a war for the country?"
Sima Jian shook his head: "Can't!"
"But, even if you can't, you have to fight!"
"Otherwise, all the countries on the continent will think that the Great Xia Empire is easy to bully, and they will do it to us one by one!"
"According to the information obtained by the minister, the barbarians in the old forest in the north are already preparing to invade the northern front!"
"Your Majesty decides!"
Emperor Xia frowned: "Right Prime Minister, what do you think?"
At this time.
The right prime minister, Cao Wei, is secretly happy.
"Boom"
His twisted heart was sneering wildly: "The hateful Nine Emperor Princes, the hateful King of the Wasteland, the hateful Stinky Old Nine, you have finally died in the Wasteland!"
"You broom star, it's good to be dead!"
When he thought of his two dead ghost sons, a widowed daughter Cao Wei, his hatred for the summer, it was like the continuous water of the Xia River, like the overflow of the Xia River, out of control.
Now.
Seeing Emperor Xia's question, Cao Wei immediately opened his mouth to bite people: "Your Majesty Shengming, Prime Minister Zuo knows that I have no money and food in Great Xia to fight with the Heavenly Wolf Empire, and he also instigated His Majesty to launch a national war, just to use this to destroy my Great Xia country!"
"Your Majesty, the minister suspects that Prime Minister Zuo is a traitor of the Heavenly Wolf Empire, please Your Majesty dismiss him, send him to the Imperial City Division Prison, and definitely try out his comrades!"
Sima Jian looked disdainful!
This Cao Wei and that Li Jian are really getting more and more similar.
Sure enough, it's the one who is close to Zhu is red, and the one who is close to ink is black!
Emperor Xia frowned: "Right Prime Minister, then what good method do you have?"
The old god Cao Wei said: "Harmony!"
"And pro?"
"Yes!"
"They summoned the Heavenly Wolf Envoy and used me to go to the Heavenly Wolf Country to make peace with the princess, and asked to conclude a friendly alliance with the Heavenly Wolf Empire and let them return to the Wasteland, so that they can solve the danger of the Wasteland and the danger of Qingzhou!"
"If the Sky Wolf Empire is still not satisfied, it's a big deal, let's pay some more silver for them to exchange for the Wasteland!"
"Anyway, this year's snow disaster, their life on the grassland is not easy!"
"Hahaha"
Sima Jian sneered: "Cao thief, you are a joke to make the Great Xia Empire a continent!"
"If we are friendly, will the countries of the mainland think that we are weak and can be bullied?"
"My Great Summer has a serious disaster this year, and I am already short of money and food, if the lion of the Wolf Empire opens his mouth that day, where will we raise money and food?"
Cao Wei said proudly: "Sima old thief, you are really a mediocre talent, and you can't even think of a simple way to raise taxes!"
"Tax increases?"
"Yes!"
"The imperial court can levy ten years of taxes in advance from each state to redeem the wasted states!"
Sima Jian was furious: "Thief Cao, you are going to dig the corner of my Great Xia Empire, for fear that my Great Xia Empire will not fall!"
"The current taxes are heavy enough, many people in order to pay taxes, their families are ruined, and if they collect heavy taxes, the people of the world will rebel!"
"And as you said, if taxes are levied in advance, what expenses will the court spend next year?"
Cao Wei raised his eyelids: "Next year's business, let's talk about it next year!"
Emperor Xia sat back on the dragon chair in a dejected manner: "Enough!"
"I have made up my mind, and the matter of harmony will be done according to what the right prime minister said!"
"However, the matter of taxation will be discussed later!"
"Right Prime Minister, there is no suitable princess and relatives under my knees, what do you think should be done?"
The corners of Cao Wei's mouth hooked up a trace of viciousness, looked at Sima Jian and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Sima Mei, the daughter of the Sima family, is beautiful and beautiful, and she is the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo, Your Majesty can be accepted as a righteous daughter and used for harmony, which should be the best." ”
Sima Jian was furious: "No!"
Emperor Xia raised his eyelids: "Then it's decided!"
"Right Prime Minister, you quickly contact the envoys of the Heavenly Wolf Country and test them with a matter of harmony!"
"Yes!"
Cao Wei looked proud!
The corners of Sima Jian's mouth also hooked up a hint of unfathomable.
If Mei'er is really taken to make peace, what will the holy king of the wasteland do?
He's really curious!
