Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 224

Chen Yi felt that he should go back and think of a way before convincing the Empress.

The last time I cooperated with the second prince of the Liao Kingdom, there was only the empress and himself, so it was not convenient for Chen Yi to tell others.

In addition, there is no good reason for him to go to the Liao Kingdom to help the second prince seize the throne. This matter can only be achieved by the empress and him.

Chen Yi could only give up temporarily and go back to think about the reasons that could convince the Empress to agree.

For several days in a row, Chen Yi and the empress didn't talk to each other very well. At that time, they chatted for a long time in the imperial study room.

At the beginning, the other ministers didn't know about this matter, but for several days in a row, Chen Yi went to look for the empress after each downfall, which naturally attracted the attention of other ministers.

They also found that the atmosphere between the two was a bit weird, and it was a little different from the previous quarrel.

I never found out what happened at the time.

Chen Yi was very tight-lipped, and it was impossible to inquire with the empress, so now all the ministers in the court knew that Chen Yi had conflicts with the empress, but no one knew why.

Things have been so anxious, things turned around a week later.

"Report, the Western Army News, the Xuanluo State invaded with troops, General Zhao, General Zhang and the others have resisted three large-scale attacks, requesting military pay and dispatching support."

The person who reported it was a soldier with a dusty face, but no scars on his body.

This news surprised everyone in the entire court.

Including Chen Yi, none of them thought that this would happen. He still remembered that when he went to the western border years ago, Xuanluo Kingdom didn't seem to be as rampant.

How could they suddenly raise troops to commit crimes? !
There are many ministers who have such doubts, especially the Minister of the Ministry of War, who asked impatiently: "Why is this happening? Why did the Xuanluo Kingdom invade our border all of a sudden? What happened?"

The little soldier cautiously raised his head to look at the Empress. The Empress did not stop the Minister of the Ministry of War from asking a sudden question, and the little soldier lowered his head again and said, "My lord misunderstood, nothing happened, it's just that the weather this year is not good."

Xiaobing swallowed his saliva and continued.

"Life on the frontier was very difficult before. If it weren't for Chen Shilang this year, we might have run out of ammunition and food. The same is true for Xuanluo Kingdom. The harvest is not good. I heard that it snowed a few days ago and many people died. They will come to grab our food."

After Xiaobing finished speaking, he looked at Chen Yi gratefully.

Chen Yi took a closer look and didn't know this little soldier, so he didn't say anything.

He lowered his head to think, and estimated that the situation should be similar. Considering the previous drought in Longxi, floods in the south, and snow disasters around the imperial capital, it seems that the weather this year was not good.

This year's great grain harvest in Dawu Kingdom is still due to Chen Yi's ability bonus. Even so, Dawu Kingdom is not much better than before, and the treasury has no money.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the Xuanluo Kingdom, which watches the sky and eats, is probably going to have a worse life.

Now that there is no beginning of spring, I can't live on, otherwise how could I come to snatch it?
There is no way for Chen Yi to judge this matter. After all, his positions are different. If he is from Xuanluo Kingdom, he does not know if there is a better way.

Regarding the matter of Xuanluo Kingdom, the ministers in the DPRK have something to discuss again.

There are two main subjects of the discussion, one is to fight directly; the second is not to fight, but to send envoys to negotiate.

The number of ministers who support these two propositions is half and half, which also makes the solution to this problem endlessly debated, and the next court is much later than usual.

Chen Yi didn't express his opinion. If Chen Yi was forced to say it, it would definitely be a war, but there was a way to say how to fight.

Now Dawu Kingdom looks stable on the surface, but there will be many problems after the real battle.

First of all, the treasury is empty, and the required weapons and equipment, military pay, and soldiers are all problems.

Secondly, if we face off this time, it will be a long time to show the opposing positions of the Dawu Kingdom and the Xuanluo Kingdom.

Although small disputes continued before, the Dawu Kingdom did not directly express its opposing attitude, because it was worried that other countries would take advantage of the opportunity to reap the benefits.

In the current situation of Dawu Kingdom, if more than one country joins in, the country will be destroyed.

But don't fight, listen to the little soldier who delivered the letter, this time the Xuanluo Kingdom is coming aggressively, which is different from the previous situation.

Chen Yi must have been very hungry. A few years ago, because of his support, the army on the western border had sufficient food supplies. The soldiers did not have to worry about the rear, so they were naturally ferocious.

Therefore, Xuanluo Kingdom did not take advantage of it at the end of last year.

In addition to the fact that there is little food in stock, they have not succeeded in grabbing food for the winter from Dawu Kingdom, which can be said to be worse.

This is also the reason why Xuan Luoguo is so reckless this time.

Chen Yi felt that it would be difficult to end this time. If there was no war, the Xuanluo Kingdom would not negotiate. In the end, the Dawu Kingdom could only retreat to the Xuanluo Kingdom, and it was not known how far the border would retreat.

It is very likely that he will retreat to Daoxiang City. After all, Daoxiang City is not too far from the border, and Daoxiang City is a famous grain production base. If he is in Xuanluo Kingdom, he will definitely not let it go.

When Chen Yi returned home, thinking about the affairs of the second prince of the Liao Kingdom and the affairs of the Xuanluo Kingdom, he suddenly felt that things were not going well, and everything came together.

At night, when I was about to take a rest, I suddenly heard a knock on the door.

After Chen Yi opened the door, he found that it was Uncle Cao. Uncle Cao didn't speak, but just entered the room, followed by a man in a black cloak who wrapped himself up tightly.

Looking at the person coming, Chen Yi took Uncle Cao back with some caution.

The visitor lifted the cap of the cloak, and Chen Yi looked at the visitor in surprise, not realizing that he came to Dawu Kingdom at this time.

"You're quite courageous, you just came here alone, why? It's so easy for our Dawu Kingdom to come in?"

Chen Yi spoke a little aggressively, but this was Chen Yi's first reaction.

It was the same with the assassination of the empress last time, those assassins from the Liao Kingdom came in easily, and it was the same when the second prince of the Liao Kingdom was captured, and the news quickly spread back to the Liao Kingdom.

Later, when the envoys of the Liao Kingdom came so quickly, Chen Yi became suspicious. A few days ago, the second prince of the Liao Kingdom sent a letter to him.

Chen Yi thought that the letter was passed on to him, and it probably took a lot of effort, so Chen Yi didn't worry too much about it.

But it's different now, how could Chen Yi not be startled when such a big living person came before him, this is coming as soon as he said it, and now that the Xuanluo Kingdom is coming to commit crimes, Chen Yi can't imagine it.

People from the Liao Kingdom entered the capital of the Dawu Kingdom so easily and found themselves so easily, so why are they fighting with the Xuanluo Kingdom?Is there any room for discussion in the court?

Maybe people from Xuanluo Kingdom have sneaked into the imperial capital right now.
