Zhang Yuan understood something, tugged at Tianwu's sleeve, and whispered, "Your Highness, do you mean to want Qian Zhou?"
Tianwu curled his lips: "That's someone else's country! Even though it's the Dashun Kingdom, I can't make the decision!"
Zhang Yuan tugged at his sleeve again: "Once we defeat them, we can make the decision."
"Get out of here!" Tianwu was so angry that he kicked Zhang Yuan, "Get away from me!"
Zhang Yuan looked at Tianwu with frustration, took two steps back, and didn't walk far.
Feng Yuheng pushed Xuan Tianming's wheelchair forward again, and Xuan Tianming began to brainwash Tianwu: "I know you are old now, and you don't have the passion you had when you were young. But even if you are gone, don't we still have us? The seeds of our Xuan family's fighting spirit are still there, and they must continue to take root and sprout."
Tianwu heard the hidden meaning of Xuan Tianming's words, and he was determined to beat Qian Zhou. He suddenly remembered the fire that happened in Prince Xiang's mansion not long ago. The secret guards who were monitoring Prince Xiang reported that before the fire, Princess Kangyi of Qian Zhou wrapped herself up like a dumpling and sneaked into Prince Xiang's mansion. After that, Princess Ji'an also sneaked in, and then Prince Chun also went. He felt that something was fishy at the time, but unfortunately, the secret guards could not find out what happened that night, because no one could enter Xuan Tianye's secret cave. Could it be...
Tianwu narrowed his eyes and looked at Feng Yuheng. This girl whipped Xuan Tianye because he had harmed her mother. But now it was related to Qian Zhou. Tianwu wondered, could it be that this girl had heard something that night?
Tianwu's questioning gaze fell into Feng Yuheng's eyes. She knew that Xuan Tianye suddenly expressed his desire to destroy Qian Zhou so clearly. Tianwu must be very suspicious. After all, it was a country. If they didn't give a suitable reason, Dashun would have no reason to send troops.
She held Xuan Tianming's hand and said, "Now that things have come to this, let's not hide it from Father." Then she turned her head to look at Tianwu, "When His Royal Highness Prince Yu returned seriously injured, does Father know who did it?"
Tianwu was stunned. He didn't expect Feng Yuheng to suddenly mention this. Xuan Tianming's injury has always been the biggest pain in his heart. He promised Yun Pianpian that he would protect his son well, but he didn't expect that he would be injured so badly. At first, he thought that it was a glorious thing for a man to lead troops in battle and get injured. But later, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. The casualties among the soldiers were not many, but the commander was injured like this. How could this be possible?
Tianwu also sent people to investigate, but they only found out that Xuan Tianming had been surrounded in the deep mountains in the northwest and was shot by an arrow, and they couldn't find out anything more.
Now that Feng Yuheng brought up the old topic again, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart: "What did you find out? Could it be... that the matter is related to Qian Zhou?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, "My daughter-in-law heard the conversation between the Third Prince and Princess Kang Yi. The people who besieged His Royal Highness were Qian Zhou's sharpshooters, and the intelligence was provided by the Third Prince's people lurking in the army. In addition, Qian Zhou's sharpshooters entered the Dashun checkpoint by using Feng Jinyuan's connections to get a clearance disc."
Tian Wu closed his eyes slightly. He had expected such a chain of relationships, but it had never been confirmed. Now that the words came from Feng Yuheng's mouth, it was considered to have confirmed the matter.
Xuan Tianming asked him: "What do you think, should Qian Zhou be destroyed?"
Tianwu nodded, "They should be destroyed. Hurting my Ming'er, even if I slaughter the entire Qianzhou Kingdom, it will not be enough to vent my anger."
Xuan Tianming laughed, "What country are you massacring? Who will be responsible for it after you massacre them all?"
Feng Yuheng curled her lips, "It should be said that if they are all slaughtered, who will we collect taxes from?"
Tianwu stroked his forehead and said, "You have even thought about collecting taxes?"
They both nodded, "I've thought about it."
"Then what?" Tianwu also became interested, and Zhang Yuan also became interested and came forward to listen to the wind.
Feng Yuheng said: "This is a long process. This is what my daughter-in-law thinks. First of all, we must refine the fine steel. Only when we have weapons can we really have the capital. Otherwise, if we only use numbers and tactics to oppress others, it will seem a bit bullying, which will undermine the demeanor of a great country."
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but interject, "Isn't that what all big countries do?"
Xuan Tianming said shamelessly: "Then we must become a different great country."
Tianwu is even more shameless than him: "Ming'er is right!"
Feng Yuheng felt that the father and son were both very sensible, so he continued, "After the weapons are ready, we should not rush to take action. We can first infiltrate the enemy and stir up chaos from the inside. When Qianzhou itself is on the verge of collapse, we can take action. The purpose is to save the people of Qianzhou from danger... No, Yu Binghan."
Xuan Tianming nodded, "The walls of Qianzhou Imperial City are all made of solid ice. If we don't attack from the inside, it will be difficult to attack by force."
Tianwu also became interested: "Then is there any way to deal with their sharpshooters?"
Xuan Tianming pointed at Feng Yuheng and said, "Your daughter-in-law has trained a Divine Machine Battalion. Given time, her achievements will definitely be above the Thousand Weeks Divine Shooter!"
"Okay!" Tianwu suddenly slammed the table, startling Zhang Yuan. "Then I'll do as you say! But..." He was a little confused, "Didn't you say you wanted compensation? Why not only didn't you ask for compensation, but you're thinking of conquering more territory for Dashun?"
Xuan Tianming snorted coldly, "Fighting for territory for Dashun? You are flattering me."
Tianwu was angry: "How can you talk like that?"
Feng Yuheng was helpless and patted Xuan Tianming, "Talk to father properly."
Xuan Tianming organized his words for a while, and then said: "To put it in a proper way, Qian Zhou didn't fight for Dashun, he fought for Hengheng."
Tianwu didn't react for a moment and misunderstood, "Building an empire for your wife? Oh, isn't that the same idea? Ming'er, the empire will be yours sooner or later."
"I know." Xuan Tianming rolled his eyes. "Let's not talk about whether I am willing to take your kingdom or not. Let's talk about our Heng Heng. As her father, can't you prepare some dowry for her? Besides, that was your compensation to her!"
Zhang Yuan understood, "Your Highness, what you mean is that after you get the Qian Zhou, it will be given to the county lady personally?"
Tian Wu was confused when he heard this. How could he do that? He glared at Xuan Tian Ming, saying, "You don't pamper women this way!" He glared at Feng Yu Heng again, saying, "What kind of soul-enchanting drug did you give my son?"
Xuan Tianming knew his father too well. He knew from the look in his eyes that the old man was unhappy. Yes, it was not right to give away a good foreign country just because he said so. But he also had his reasons: "In fact, for Dashun, it's just that Qianzhou has changed its monarch, and the new monarch is more stable than the previous one. The previous one was superficially dependent and secretly calculating, but the new one is wholeheartedly with Dashun. Think about it, in the future you pass the throne to me, and I marry Feng Yuheng, the monarch of Qianzhou, then these two countries will still be one country! No matter how you look at it, Dashun will get the advantage."
Tianwu was so angry that his teeth itched, "How could someone be so concerned about what would happen to his father a hundred years later?"
"Isn't that what you said? Sooner or later, the kingdom will be mine!"
Tianwu was speechless because of him. In fact, he understood this principle. Even if Qianzhou was given to Feng Yuheng, it would be brought back as a dowry in the future. Fanguo became a part of Dashun, which was a good thing for Dashun. However... "Use Dashun's soldiers to fight, and give them to your wife after the battle? Think about it, it's still a losing business."
"Hey?" Xuan Tianming was angry. "Who did business with you? This was originally your unilateral compensation. Have you forgotten?"
Tianwu was stunned, and Zhang Yuan reminded him: "Your Highness is right, it is compensation."
Tianwu had the urge to hit Zhang Yuan again. Who is this damn eunuch a member of?
He was unwilling to accept this, so he looked at Feng Yuheng and asked her, "Qian Zhou has changed its monarch, can you guarantee that the situation will be better than it is now?"
Feng Yuheng thought for a moment and said, "We can sign a draft first to determine the future annual tribute, resources for Dashun, and so on. In addition, Qianzhou and Dashun can trade with each other. A place like Qianzhou is more desolate than Dashun, and it is almost in ruins. I believe Dashun will definitely have a lot of money to make."
Tianwu liked to hear this, so the three of them got together and started to study how to make money in Qianzhou in the future.
Zhang Yuan's mouth twitched when he heard this. It was like a real thing. The battle hasn't even started yet, and you three are already planning to divide the spoils? Is this okay? Is this okay?
As it turned out, the three of them thought it was a good idea and studied it from dawn until Tianwu was about to attend the morning court.
Finally, Tianwu slammed the table and said, "It's settled! You guys go and make the specific arrangements. Ming'er's Northwest Army will be the main force. If you need the cooperation of other battalions, I will fully support them. When there is a great victory in Qianzhou one day, I will decide to give it to Ah Heng."
Feng Yuheng quickly knelt down and solemnly thanked the emperor for his grace.
Zhang Yuan had been with Tianwu all night and hadn't slept. He was extremely sleepy, but he was still a little excited by the atmosphere. But he had to remind Tianwu: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."
Tianwu nodded, "Okay, then you guys... go to Yuehan Palace and take a look, don't let your mother worry about you."
The two agreed and left. Tianwu watched Feng Yuheng push Xuan Tianming away and asked Zhang Yuan in a low voice: "Tell me, if I follow them, will I be kicked out?"
Zhang Yuan shook his head, "No."
"real?"
"Yeah. They won't be kicked out, they will be beaten out."
"Get out of here!" Tianwu once again had the idea of changing his personal eunuch. He waved his hands irritably: "Go to court! It's a good opportunity to vent my anger on those old guys!"
Zhang Yuan helped him around the table and changed into the dragon robe. When he put on his hat, he asked, "Prime Minister Feng is still kneeling outside. What does the emperor plan to do with him?"
Tianwu wrinkled his nose, "Let him get up and go to court!"
Zhang Yuan thought about the time when he went out to take a look in the middle of the night, and saw Feng Jinyuan kneeling in a state of disarray, almost fainting several times. At this moment, his legs were probably numb and he couldn't even walk, let alone attend court.
"Prince Feng has been kneeling all night, and now he is going to court..."
"What's wrong with kneeling for a night?" Tianwu said as a matter of course, "His daughter also knelt for a night, but she was still alive and kicking. He is the prime minister, how can he be worse than a little girl?"
Zhang Yuan knew that Tianwu was determined not to reason with him. Thinking about what Feng Yuheng had said before, he couldn't help but hate Feng Jinyuan. "I will order someone to help Prime Minister Feng to the court. Your Majesty, don't worry."
Tianwu nodded and strode out of the Qiankun Hall with a cheerful spirit.
On the other side, Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming were standing in front of the guest bedroom of Yuehan Palace. A palace maid smiled and said to them, "Our queen went to bed last night and hasn't gotten up yet. Before going to bed, she told me that if the county lady and the prince come, please take a bath, change clothes and go to sleep first. When you wake up, the queen should wake up too."
Feng Yuheng stroked her forehead. Concubine Yun slept for a really long time! She looked at the guest bedroom that the palace maid pointed out. It was the one she had stayed in before. So she said to Xuan Tianming, "Then I will listen to my mother. Take a shower, change clothes and go to bed first. You can do whatever you need to do!"
The maid immediately corrected her: "Your Highness rushed back from the camp and didn't sleep all night either. He also needs to take a bath, change clothes and go to bed."
"Oh." Feng Yuheng nodded, "Then you can take him with you."
The little maid was puzzled, "Where are you going?"
"Go to where you sleep!"
The palace maid pointed to the guest bedroom and said, "Isn't it right here?"
Feng Yuheng understood——"We sleep together?"
