wealthy queen

"What Sun Shangshu said is very true. The prince loves his younger brother. As an elder brother, he would be really satisfied."

Raising his eyes and sweeping lightly, Shen Da was able to handle it with ease. He was indeed upset that Pei Yuanlie was going to marry Liangliang early, but if they wanted to see their jokes because of this, it would be too naive. Who is on their own and who is an outsider , when to make trouble and when to defend, he knows very well.

"That's very good. When the prince and Mr. Shen get married, I will definitely prepare a big gift to congratulate you."

After all, he is an old fox who has been immersed in the court for decades, and Sun Shangyi is not annoyed if he fails to provoke, but...

"When did this king say that he would invite Sun Shangshu?"

As soon as the tyrannical and domineering voice fell, everyone couldn't help being shocked. Sun Shangyi's smile finally froze on his face. You must know that the people present are all the most powerful people. , could not be more hurtful.

"Pei Yuanlie!"

The fifth prince jumped up and stared fiercely at each other. The Sun family was his mother's concubine's natal family, and Sun Shangyi was his own uncle. How could he allow him to insult him like this?

"What? You also want to become a refusal of the Qingping Palace?"

Ignoring his anger, Pei Yuanlie lazily raised his eyelids, ignoring the emperor's presence, and blatantly threatened his son. The ministers were shocked, but they didn't show much surprise. If he didn't reach this level, then he wouldn't be Pei Yuanlie. You know, he even hated the emperor himself, let alone just a prince.

"you……"

"enough!"

As the prince with the highest voice among the several princes, who is most likely to live in the East Palace, how has Qin Yuntian been treated like this before?As far as he was concerned, this was a great shame and humiliation. Just when he was about to fight back again, the emperor suddenly stopped him, glared at him and Pei Yuanlie respectively, and then angrily said: "One of you is my son, one of you is my son. It's my nephew, how can it be proper to be so tit for tat in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs?"

It's inappropriate, you should stop it sooner.

Pei Yuanlie curled his lips disapprovingly: "Uncle, you can see that I didn't take the initiative to provoke anyone, they bumped into me by themselves."

Does he still expect him to swallow his anger?Just don't think too much about it.

"Yuan Lie!"

Seeing that he was still talking back, the emperor shouted again, and Pei Yuanlie shrugged his shoulders pretending to surrender: "OK, OK, I won't talk about the assembly, shall I? What the hell are you looking for us, Your Majesty? I'm still busy preparing for the wedding. "

"..."

The emperor stared wide-eyed, furious, and in front of the civil and military ministers, he really had nothing to do with him. He inevitably glanced at Wei Zehang, who was sitting above him, and saw that he was staring at him from the beginning to the end. Guan Xin, with an appearance of being out of the world, was even more depressed for a while, always felt that they were colluding to deliberately anger him, and seemed to have forgotten that everything was started by his good son Qin Yuntian.

"Your Majesty, the overall situation is the most important thing."

Looking back and forth at them, the three old elders stood up at the same time to remind them that it was not a matter of a day or two for King Qingping to mess around. Besides, they were not partial to anyone. With Wang's temperament, it's strange that he didn't fight back.

"You, you are going to get married and you still mess around like that. How did you promise me back then?"

Turning his gaze to look at them, the emperor clenched his fists and forcibly suppressed his unhappiness. After a while, he pointed at Pei Yuanlie helplessly, but he was angered by his indifference. Lovers are here, there is indeed something important. Just now, I received the news that Xia Guo suddenly launched an attack on Chu State. Presumably all lovers also know that since Huo Aiqing and Shen Aiqing defeated Chu State, Chu Generalissimo He Chengfeng led his troops back to the court, and the troops left on the border were limited. Maybe the border towns had already been taken by Xia Guo at this time. If they really started a large-scale battle, as far as the northwestern border of our Great Qin was concerned, It's not a good thing either, I wonder if you dear ministers have any good strategies?"

The emperor's face was heavy, and he seemed very sad. Only those who knew the inside story knew that what he was worried about was not the safety of the border at all, but the prosperity of the Xia Kingdom. Their overall national strength is still not much inferior to that of Great Qin, and Xia Guo, which was just a small border country that needed to rely on Great Qin more than ten years ago, is now able to take the initiative to launch a war against Chu, which makes him have to take it seriously. The State of Chu was really destroyed by the State of Xia, and the State of Xia, which combines the power of the two countries, will be extremely large, and it will no longer be able to be suppressed by the Great Qin. He would not allow it no matter what, the throne was passed on to him by his father, so why should everyone think that his name is unfair?

"The kingdom of Xia is far away from the kingdom of Chu. How could it suddenly attack the kingdom of Chu? With such a huge force passing through the border, why didn't we hear any news before?"

Ling Wei frowned. Although this matter had nothing to do with Daqin, any change in the situation might affect Daqin's fortune, so they had to take it seriously.

"General Ling's words are reasonable. Master Huo, you are the commander of the Northwest Army. Haven't you received any news?"

Sun Shangyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, pointed his finger at Huo Yelin again, and the latter replied calmly: "Didn't Sun Shangshu see that Ben Hou is also sitting here? Although Ben Hou is the commander of the Northwest Army, he is still in the imperial city now." Among them, Xia State and Chu State fought without violating the border of our Great Qin State, even if there is an army report, it is impossible to rush it by [-] miles, how can the news of this Marquis be faster than the Emperor's?"

"Ye Lin's words are reasonable. Sun Shangshu, as Minister of the Ministry of War, didn't receive the news in advance?"

Wei Zehang, who hadn't spoken all this time, suddenly made a sound. In front of him, Sun Shangyi had to restrain himself: "What General Wei said is very true. I just asked casually, and I didn't mean to doubt anything. I hope Huo Shuai will not." mind."

As he said that, to show his sincerity, Sun Shangyi stood up and clasped his fists, but his explanation was somewhat insinuating. Wei Zehang and Huo Yelin glanced at him indifferently, and were too lazy to talk to him again. Everyone revolved around Xia Guo's rebellion against Chu Guoxing The matter was discussed, but these people were all human beings. The emperor wanted to trick them and let them say what he wanted. They discussed and discussed, but they still only focused on why Xia State would raise troops against Chu State. Some people even praised Xia Guo. The national strength of the country, no one has taken the initiative to mention the countermeasures.

The emperor sitting high on the dragon chair had a dark face when he saw this. He looked at this and then that, and became furious for no reason. This is his courtiers. They all avoided the important and ignored the important ones. No one wanted to offend anyone. They discussed for a long time None of them got to the point, so what's the use of raising them?

From the beginning to the end, the emperor didn't feel that the current situation was caused by himself. As long as he trusted his courtiers more, don't always be suspicious of them, and play tricks from time to time, they wouldn't be so cautious and wise to protect themselves. Everyone here is responsible for a huge family, hundreds of lives, no matter how patriotic, it is impossible to joke about the lives of family members.

"Father, my son thinks that no matter why Xia Guo suddenly raises troops against Chu, the most urgent thing is to send generals to the northwest to guard. If their fighting affects us, we can fight back immediately, so we won't just sit around and die."

Just when the emperor couldn't bear it and was about to be furious, the fifth prince suddenly stood up and bowed, but...

"Your Majesty can't do it. The soldiers and horses have not moved the food and grass first. Now Daqin is in the period of recovery from the famine. If you send a general to the northwest at this time, you must mobilize the food and grass for the battle. Where does the food and grass come from? The food and grass for hundreds of thousands of soldiers is not a small amount. ah."

The new Minister of the Household Department immediately stood up to oppose it. The Household Department controls the finances, so it is impossible for him to use money to support the war.

"Cao Shangshu, according to what you mean, we can only watch helplessly?"

Qin Yuntian turned around and looked at him uncertainly, and the eldest prince Qin Yunmang beside him chimed in and said, "What the fifth emperor said is wrong. Years of wars in the northwest have finally subsided, and it is time to rest and recuperate. Xia Guo ordered the soldiers who were temporarily disarmed and returned to the field to put on their armor to go to battle again when Chu State raised its troops, wouldn't it be a waste of money and people?"

The newly-appointed Household Minister Cao Shangshu belongs to the First Prince, so he naturally wants to help.

"Brother Da Huang is right, and Brother Wu Huang has nothing wrong with his concerns. Why don't we ask Huo Shuai for his opinion? After all, he is the coach of the Northwest."

Although the second prince's words were suspected of shirking responsibility, they inadvertently fell into the emperor's arms, and the emperor immediately said: "What do you think Huo Aiqing?"

For a moment, everyone looked over in unison, and Huo Yelin still had that clear and cold look: "Your Majesty, if the Fifth Highness's intention is to put the Northwest Army on guard, I think there is no need to mobilize the troops, so I will send a general to Northwest, everyone here must be aware that for some reason, the minister and Shen Da rushed back to the imperial city, and most of the generals under his command stayed in the northwest. In order to relieve the pressure on the court, but as soon as the horn blows, they will immediately become invincible predators. Even if there are no ministers in charge for the time being, it is no problem to stop the enemy. Going up to share a piece of the pie, the humble minister has nothing to say, and is willing to listen to the emperor's orders. However, forgive me for being bold, what Cao Shangshu said is reasonable, and the soldiers and horses go first before the food and grass are mobilized. To help the state of Chu expel the state of Xia, the 30 Northwest Army is bound to leave Ding'an City, food and grass are essential, please prepare enough food and grass to support a big war, I can't let the soldiers below go to war hungry."

Huo Yelin's meaning is not clear, if you want to fight, you can give food and grass first, and there is no fart on the food and grass!

"Since that's the case, I think it's better to ask Huo Shuai to send an order to the northwest to strengthen the defense. If there is any change, we will report back in a hurry. There is no need to send Huo Shuai or General Shen there."

The generals were all silent, they all understood Huo Yelin, Xie Ge stood up when he saw this, the current Daqin really couldn't support a huge war.

"My minister agrees!"

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

With Mr. Xie Ge starting, and Mr. Zeng Ge and Mr. Zhao Ge seconding, most of the people present stood up. In order to avoid suspicion, Pei Yuanlie and others did not follow the rhythm of everyone, and proposed to send a general to the fifth prince. His face was dark and gloomy. From his point of view, his father summoned them because he meant to mobilize troops. He didn't expect these old stubborn people to be so stubborn. , Maybe he will be reprimanded.
