Iron Dynasty

In the Bishui Pavilion, Xiao Wenxuan played with the glass for a while.

Seeing that Concubine Zhen was still worried, she comforted: But you don't have to worry, the barbarians going south is a major matter for the country, and I won't be kidding around. If King Qi can't hold it back, I will let King Wei send troops to help. It is King Yong, and to the south is King Wei, if you still can’t resist, there is also our imperial guards.”

Concubine Zhen wanted to say that King Wei might not be reliable, but she suddenly swallowed her words again, this was just a side word of Queen Zhao.

Speaking out at this time, there is no concrete evidence to anger Xiao Wenxuan. After all, Xiao Wenxuan has always trusted Wei Wang very much.

If this is the case, the concubine will be at ease. The only thing left is to see the will of God. I only hope that the emperor can support Ming'er more. Concubine Zhen said softly.

Xiao Wenxuan nodded, and seemed unwilling to talk about this topic again, but pointed to the goblet and said, By the way, did King Qi say what the cup is used for? Is it also a decoration?

Ming'er said it was for drinking. He said that only the glass can see the transparency of the drunk Qingzhou. Concubine Zhen said.

Xiao Wenxuan seems to like the glass very much, and he can't put it down, Well, this is a good word. It is indeed a wonderful thing for drinking, but it seems to be too little.

What's so difficult about this? Concubine Zhen smiled, I just ask him to send some more.

This is not right, Qingzhou is facing such a dangerous situation now, and I still take his things for nothing. Xiao Wenxuan said.

Concubine Zhen said with a smile: What the emperor said today is worth the countless glasses, how can it be taken in vain.

Xiao Wenxuan laughed when he heard the words, this Concubine Zhen has always been smart, and her words are also extremely pleasing.

After staying in the Bishui Pavilion for a while, Xiao Wenxuan left with a glass.

Even so, he still wanted to help Xiao Ming. After all, this time the barbarians went south was not a matter for Xiao Ming alone, but for the safety of the Great Yu Kingdom.

But it was only a memorial three days later, and he knew what Xiao Ming needed now.

Aiqings, you have also read the documents of King Qi. There is solid evidence that the barbarians colluded with the Qingzhou nobles to attack Cangzhou in autumn. What should I do?

In the Chengqing Hall, Xiao Wenxuan sat on the throne, and under the steps, the ministers were on both sides.

Civil servants on the left, military officers on the right, and princes such as the prince are listed in the front.

Your Majesty, the annual tribute required by the barbarians has increased year by year, and Youzhou and other places have also been ceded to the barbarians, but the barbarians are still not satisfied, and they will still stare at our country of Great Yu. It can be seen that the wild ambition of the barbarians will not die. This time, we can't let it go any more, only by fighting to stop the war can we deter the barbarians.

A minister wearing a purple robe came out with an impassioned voice.

As soon as his words fell, another minister came out and said: General Luo Quan's words are not good, the barbarians are fighting horses and soldiers this time, but they want to increase the amount of annual tribute, which is the case in previous years, just need to give some money to pass. Now, if you go to war, it's really not worth it to waste people and money, I hope the emperor thinks twice.

Doctor Cui, this is another tribute to the year. Is the tribute paid in recent years still small? The barbarians are fearful of power but not virtuous. The tributes given these years not only did not make the grassland people appreciate their virtues, but instead made the grassland people's soldiers better. There are more horses, more food and grass, and sharp swords. I am afraid that the more tribute this year, the more unstoppable the army of barbarians will be. After a few years, the Great Yu Kingdom will be destroyed and the species will be wiped out. Luo Quan glared angrily and scolded.

Cui Hao's face turned red, and he also said angrily: General Luo is really not at home. I don't know how expensive it is to eat rice, oil and salt. Have you counted how much money this battle will cost? Have you counted how many soldiers will be killed and wounded? The important thing is that we can’t beat him? With the sharpness of Zhao Wang’s troops and horses, he is still at a disadvantage, who can fight the barbarians in Cangzhou.”

That is, if it weren't for the annual tribute, when the king of Zhao Liangzhou was surrounded, would the barbarians withdraw their troops?

A bunch of cowards, it's you who made the barbarians the power they are today, kill talent!

Stupid warrior!

...

As the two quarreled, the courtroom turned into a pot of porridge, and ministers criticized each other.

Don't say it! Xiao Wenxuan said angrily, as before, every time the barbarians are mentioned, the ministers will always be divided into two factions: the main battle and the main and the main.

After he ascended the throne, the barbarians became more and more powerful. At that time, when his ascension was not stable, the barbarians took advantage of the situation and even conquered Youzhou and other places.

Losing the important pass of Shanhaiguan, he had to negotiate with the barbarians to appease, in exchange for ceding the cities of Youzhou and other places in exchange for time to stabilize the throne.

At the same time, the city of Cangzhou was rebuilt to resist further barbarian invasions, because he understood that even if these cities were not ceded to barbarians, they would not be able to keep them, and he would also face the risk of losing Qingzhou and even the area north of the Yangtze River.

In addition, King Wei tried hard to persuade him at that time, and he was afraid of the barbarians in his heart, and finally agreed to pay tribute to the barbarians every year in the advice of the Lord Hepai.

Originally, they were in peace with each other, but the barbarians were not greedy enough. Even if they took the annual tribute, they continued to harass them and asked for more. This annual tribute gradually became a heavy burden on the Great Yu Kingdom.

But when the throne was stable, he turned around again, the barbarians holding the Sui Gong became stronger and stronger, while the Great Yu Kingdom became weaker and weaker, and the voice of the lord and faction of the DPRK gained the upper hand.

He understands the fears in the hearts of these ministers, and it is also his fear, because spending some money is better than losing glory and wealth.

But now that the barbarians have invaded again, he has no way to retreat, and can only stop the war with war.

The ministers were shouted by Xiao Wenxuan and all stopped.

At this time, Xiao Wenxuan said: The memorial of King Qi makes it very clear that this time the barbarians colluded with the Qingzhou nobles to attack Cangzhou. It can be seen that the barbarians have been planning for a long time. , This land in the south of the Yangtze River, the rich and prosperous hometown is the source of food and money for the Great Yu Country, if it is lost, the Great Yu Country will be in danger.

Your Majesty is wise, this rich and prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River cannot be lost. A minister shouted.

Your Majesty is wise. Luo Quan said with his fists folded.

At this time, the second prince said: Father, you need to be careful about this matter. The barbarians have always liked to attack the east and the west. Maybe this attack on Cangzhou was just a false shot. The real purpose may not be Cangzhou. We should let the King of Qi guard Cangzhou first, while we wait for it to change.

Let King Qi guard Cangzhou? Did the second brother forget that King Qi fled back to Chang'an three years ago? At this moment, the fourth prince suddenly spoke sarcastically.

As soon as these words were said, all the ministers in the hall showed ridicule.

So the fourth brother is willing to guard Cangzhou? The prince glanced at the fourth prince and said lightly.

The fourth prince's face turned pale, I didn't say that. After all, this Qingzhou is the fief of King Qi, and it is not convenient for outsiders to intervene.

Thank you for your reward, recommendation and support, the snail can only say thank you more tomorrow!!!!
