Chapter 151 The Last City
The new emperor of Panlong Kingdom never expected that his fifth brother was still alive despite his fate. He didn’t know whether to thank his fifth brother or just do something about it. Kill each other.
Zhang Zhang reacted quickly and stood up immediately, asking politely:
"I wonder how the prince is doing now?"
"The prince was assassinated by a dead soldier. He lost an arm, but our queen was kind and used a 300-year-old ginseng in the treasure house to save him.”
The female official of the Ministry of Rites told the truth.
After listening to the words of the female officer, not only Zhang Zhang, but also the new emperor felt relieved. Even if the fifth prince is alive now, he no longer poses any threat to them. After all, the physically disabled prince cannot board the board. Large position.
"The Queen was generous and took action to save the fifth brother. This incident"
The newly ascended sixth prince obviously wanted to reverse this incident, but the female official of the Fengqi National Etiquette Department was not What a fool, they came with a mission.
"Your Majesty, the previous war between the two countries was because your fifth brother sneaked into Fengqi Kingdom to assassinate our queen. Fortunately, the queen was blessed by God and nothing happened. He also said it himself, it was Feng who had passed away. This was done under the orders of the late emperor.
The Queen didn't want to start a big fight, but just issued a letter of credence, hoping that your country could give an explanation and give the Queen some compensation. As a result, the former Emperor was so messy that he refused to admit the matter and even sent death soldiers to assassinate your fifth brother in order to kill him and silence him. .
Unfortunately, we rescued him, and the former emperor helped you because of his wrong decision!
Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, as the head of a country, should he give our Queen an explanation? "
The female official did not look at the faces of the officials of Panlong Kingdom at all, and directly said what she said. The whole hall was very quiet. The envoys of Xuanwu Kingdom and White Tiger Kingdom looked at the female official of Panlong Kingdom with eyes. It’s also flickering.
“Bold lady officer, what does this matter have to do with our Majesty? ”
A minister from Panlong Kingdom jumped out and shouted loudly.
The female officer took a step forward, looked around, with contempt in her eyes, and said loudly:
"Why is it irrelevant? Could it be that the deceased emperor in front was not your Majesty's brother? Or are you? Panlong Kingdom is planning to change its name?”
The female official’s words were also very sharp, which made the official who had scolded him blush. After a while, he said:
“You, Fengqi Kingdom, have already seized four cities. , what else do you want?”
"Of course it's not enough. Our queen said at the beginning that she wanted five cities as compensation, even one less would not be enough! If you are not willing to give it, we will continue to send troops!"
The female officer refused to give in.
“Shameless!”
“It’s better than what you dare to do and don’t dare to admit. Don’t think that our Queen doesn’t know your thoughts. She just can’t see that our Fengqi Country is ruled by the Queen. You want to kill our queen and plunge Fengqi Country into chaos, so you can reap the benefits?”
The female officer’s counterattack was very direct.
"How dare you flaunt yourself as an indomitable man with such a despicable method! Damn you! If you have the ability to lead the troops to fight in person, we, the Queen, will respect your ambition to conquer the world!"
The female officer directly said He waved his sleeves and said loudly.
The voice was loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear, and then he turned to the envoys of the White Tiger Kingdom and the Xuanwu Kingdom and said:
"Don't stand there and watch the joke, Panlong If the country dares to think this way about us, will they go around you? It's just because they don't have the ability to send troops to the three countries at the same time, so they use this despicable method.
As long as the assassination is successful, the queen has not decided. Madam, the three princesses will definitely have a fight. When our Fengqi Kingdom is in chaos, will you still form an alliance with the Panlong Kingdom and get a share of the pie? I just don’t know which of your countries will be next? < br>
The emperors of your two countries are in their prime, and they don’t have any heir apparents! There are quite a few princes, right? While you are fighting among yourself, I will continue to eat away at you."
"What a load of nonsense! Don't try to sow discord here! Pull it down"
Zhang Zhang immediately shouted to stop.
"Don't bother! I just brought the Queen's request here. You'd better give me an answer as soon as possible so that I can go back and resume my duties. As long as I die in your Panlong Kingdom today, Fengqi Kingdom will send troops tomorrow! "After the female officer finished speaking, she turned around and left the hall with her head held high.
The new emperor's face was extremely dark, and all the courtiers were talking in low voices. The military attache with a bad temper was already shouting that he wanted to cut off the sacrificial flag of the arrogant female officer, and then send troops to Fengqi Kingdom.
The envoys from the Xuanwu Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom looked at each other and did not interrupt.
“Quiet!”
The eunuch next to the new emperor immediately stopped him.
Zhang Zhang stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, calm down. We can discuss this matter later. Let's meet with the envoys first!"
With Zhang Zhang's reminder, everyone remembered that there were envoys from the other two countries in the hall. Then he calmed down and pretended that nothing happened just now.
The envoys of the Xuanwu Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom were also very discerning. After congratulating the new emperor on his accession to the throne, sending congratulatory gifts, they left the hall citing the fatigue of traveling and traveling.
After there were no outsiders, the new emperor lowered his face and said directly:
"Hmph! He said it was congratulations, but he was obviously here to cause trouble for me. If that's the case, then hit him! Are we still afraid of Fengqi, a mere daughter country?”
"Your Majesty is wise! I am willing to go to war."
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
"Your Majesty, the national treasury is not rich, and I may not be able to support this war!"
A bearded man The gray old minister stood up and said in a trembling voice.
“What? The treasury is not rich! Where has the money gone?”
The new emperor's face turned completely dark.
As soon as these words came out, the veteran knelt down and said in a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty, after you ascend the throne, you will reward officials, repair the palace, fill the harem, and prepare for the enthronement ceremony. It all costs money.”
“Where are the taxes collected?”
The new emperor asked sharply.
"Your Majesty, you have forgotten that because you ascended the throne as emperor, you issued a general amnesty for the whole country and exempted you from taxes for one year."
The old minister's head dropped lower, but his voice reached everyone's ears. .
“.”
After attending the enthronement ceremony, the female officials of Fengqi Kingdom successfully returned to Fengqi Kingdom and brought back the credentials of Panlong Kingdom.
The rhetoric of the letter of credence is very gorgeous. The central meaning is that the new emperor ascends the throne and does not want to cause further disputes and let the people suffer from the war. It can also be regarded as wiping the ass of the stupid decision made by the former emperor, giving up a city, and ending After the war between the two countries, we will still be good neighbors.
The eldest princess asked the female official to read the credentials to the court, and then immediately ordered people to take over the new city.
At this point, Panlong Kingdom's plan failed, and Fengqi Kingdom gained five more cities, expanded its territory, and the whole country was filled with joy.
After the eldest princess completed her one-year task of supervising the country and handed in a satisfactory answer sheet, she handed over to the second princess and took her family to Zhuoxiu Garden to accompany Rianyi.
In the second month of the Second Queen's supervision of the country, there was abnormal rainfall across the country. It rained intermittently for half a month, causing floods. Several cities were flooded, causing floods.
