Chapter 814 Is There No Good News?

The new emperor's heart skipped a beat when he saw the reaction of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance. He thought, could it be some bad news again?

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Your Majesty, there is news from Gaoliguo that last year's harvest was not good and the national treasury was in short supply, so there will be no tribute to Daxuan this year!"

The new emperor's face turned extremely ugly in an instant. It could be said that he was ashen!

"What a good Gaoli Kingdom. If you go back on your word, you are obviously trying to break away from Daxuan... Aren't you afraid that I will send troops to crush them?"

The Minister of Household Affairs hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, there is another news... Xiliang also sent a letter, saying that there was a locust plague last year and the fields were harvested. Let's see if Daxuan can support Xiliang. Money and food are all gone. OK!"

"presumptuous!"

The new emperor overturned the table in anger.

"Don't you want to live in Xiliang? What a bullshit locust plague. Xiliang had a great harvest last year... They are going to rebel. They dare to ask me for money and food if they don't pay tribute... Send troops, immediately send troops to conquer Xiliang and Gaoliguo .

Do they think that since Daxuan has lost Ning Chen, they can no longer take me seriously? "

The new emperor was furious, with veins twitching on his forehead.

The singers and dancers in the palace were so frightened that they knelt on the ground.

The Minister of Hubu said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, calm down, the dragon body is important!"

The new emperor was furious and roared: "A small country dares not to take me seriously, how do you ask me to calm down my anger?

Send troops immediately to attack Gaoliguo and Xiliang. I really want them to know the consequences of not taking me seriously. "

The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, think twice, the war in Beilin Pass is tense now. If we send troops to Gaoliguo and Xiliang, and we are surrounded by enemies on all sides, the situation will be unfavorable for Daxuan!"

"Your Majesty's holy order, I agree to send troops!"

Zong Sibai shouted.

The Minister of Revenue looked sideways and frowned.

War requires money. Although the national treasury is now full, fighting three countries at the same time will waste people and money, and whether we can win is another matter.

It is good to win, but it will be troublesome to lose. The national prestige accumulated before the king will be lost.

Zong Sibai shouted: "Your Majesty, Gao Liguo and Xiliang must have known that Ning Chen had left Daxuan, so they dared to be disobedient... Everyone in the world knows Ning Chen, and how many people know about your majesty's bravery? ?

Therefore, this battle must be fought to bring out the majesty of Daxuan and the bravery of His Majesty... let the world know that Daxuan does not need Ning Chen, His Majesty is enough! "

The new emperor nodded slightly, "What the Prime Minister said is true!"

Zong Sibai said: "Your Majesty, I have a suitable candidate to attack Gaoliguo."

The new emperor said: "Tell me and listen!"

Zong Sibai said: "The old minister recommended King Wu, but Gao Liguo went back on his word. King Wu is the son-in-law of Gao Liguo, so it is most appropriate for him to come forward.

King Wu is the fourth prince!

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the fourth prince naturally could no longer be called prince, but was given the title King Wu.

The seventh princess of Gaoli Kingdom is in my Daxuan, and King Wu leads the troops to go on an expedition. Gaoliguo will definitely be wary... Maybe without even leaving an army, Gaoliguo will send envoys to negotiate peace with Daxuan. "

The new emperor thought for a moment, frowned and said: "This move is meant to be a threat. Using a woman to threaten Gao Liguo is unworthy of the dignity of a great country... I'm afraid it will be criticized."

Zong Sibai said: "Your Majesty, on the battlefield, we only care about winning or losing, regardless of means."

The new emperor remained silent, he still wanted to be embarrassed.

Zong Sibai said: "Your Majesty, Gaoliguo went back on their word. They were the first to be unkind. No wonder I, Daxuan, are unjust... It is perfect for King Wu to lead the army to conquer Gaoliguo!"

The new emperor thought for a long time, and was finally persuaded by Zong Sibai. He nodded slightly, "Then, as Aiqing said, send King Wu to lead an army to conquer Gaoliguo."

Zong Sibai shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

The new emperor asked: "As for the expedition to Xiliang, is there anyone who can be recommended as the right prime minister?"

Zong Sibai said: "Recommended by an old minister..."

The sound of rapid footsteps interrupted Zong Sibai's words.

Zong Yue, who had just left, walked in quickly and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the southern border... The fourth prince of South Vietnam, Kang Luo, led an army of 150,000 to approach the southern border gate. The southern border guard, General Tong, asked your majesty to send troops for support. "

The new emperor's head buzzed, his vision turned black, his body swayed, and he almost fainted.

All bad news, no good news?

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The two beloved concubines lost their beauty and quickly supported him to prevent the new emperor from having close contact with the ground.

.......

Xuanwu City, City Lord's Mansion.

Ning Chen was hitting himself on the head.

"It's too difficult, I can't do it..."

Ning Chen sat in front of his desk, and the floor was covered with crumpled papers.

Recently he is recruiting skilled craftsmen.

Now that he has left Daxuan, he has to get the ammunition and shells for his muskets by himself.

And Daxuan also has muskets and artillery, so both of these things need to be upgraded.

The artillery is easy to upgrade, just change the solid ammunition into explosive ammunition.

But the musket stumped him!

He wanted to make an AK, but found it impossible.

The first is that the craftsmanship of this world is not up to par.

Secondly, just because he is familiar with firearms does not mean that he can make firearms... Just like knowing how to eat does not mean that he can cook.

Damn it! ! !

When Ning Chen was distressed, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Xiao Yanxi pushed the door open and entered.

Ning Chen put down the brush in his hand and asked with a smile, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

Xiao Yanxi nodded slightly and said, "I just received news that the King of Youting of Tuoluo led 30,000 cavalrymen to attack the Beilin Pass of Daxuan, robbed the grain seeds of the people outside the pass for spring farming, and killed more than 3,000 people.

Lin Changsheng, the commander of Beilin Pass, led his troops to resist the enemy, but was defeated in one encounter, thousands of people died, and fled back to the city with their armor and weapons abandoned."

Ning Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and then snorted, "Lin Changsheng? Never heard of him."

Xiao Yanxi said, "You don't seem surprised?"

"What's surprising? It's expected... This is just the beginning. Daxuan will face greater troubles in the future."

Xiao Yanxi said, "Gao Li Kingdom and Xiliang have stopped paying tribute to Daxuan."

Ning Chen showed a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Pull out the nail I stuck in the enemy's heart with your own hands, so that the enemy can breathe and recuperate... This idiot should pay for his stupidity!"

Xiao Yanxi continued: "There is another piece of news. The fourth prince of Nanyue, Kang Luo, personally led an army of 150,000 and headed straight for the gate of Daxuan's southern border."

Ning Chen sneered, which was also expected.

But his brows immediately frowned, and he said in a deep voice: "Are there spies from Taichu Pavilion in the southern border army?"

Xiao Yanxi nodded.

"Let your people secretly inform Tong Yuanzhou that saving your life is important, don't make fearless sacrifices, some people are not worthy of loyalty, Xuanwu City welcomes him."

Xiao Yanxi hummed, "Anything else? If nothing, I'll take my leave first!"

Ning Chen looked at her with a sly smile on his face, "Something... Can you change into women's clothes next time you see me?"

Xiao Yanxi's mouth twitched slightly.

Ning Chen said, "Let me make it clear that I'm not being lecherous. I'm thinking about your health. Regularly binding your breasts is bad for your health and will delay two generations."

"Huh?" Xiao Yanxi looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Ning Chen said with a sly smile, "Binding your breasts will affect breast development and will delay two generations, one for eating and one for playing."

Xiao Yanxi blushed slightly, a little embarrassed and angry, "Goodbye!"
