Chapter 330 Want to start a war!

As soon as Dijiang said this, those who had ridden the beasts more than once yesterday for the sake of face were about to cry.

Your Majesty would not say this without reason. I am afraid they will be bled.

Before this, there were rumors that the national treasury was short of silver. His Majesty was troubled by this and had been wanting all his ministers to raise funds for emergency relief.

But at that time, many people were openly or secretly complaining to others about their poverty, saying that they had no money and were so poor that they had to pawn their pants. Your Majesty seemed to have some reservations and did not say a word.

But now, after seeing the ministers spending lavishly yesterday, it seems there is no way to say that we have no money anymore.

I was careless and shouldn't have spent so much money.

Now, it feels good to spend money, but it will end up in the crematorium after you spend it!

Now is indeed the best time for Dijiang to raise funds.

Dijiang did speak to his ministers.

"My dear ministers, the Southern Kingdom is currently short of silver in its treasury and is in urgent need of a large sum of silver. Would you please donate some?"

"I see that all of you seem to be very wealthy."

“It’s not a big deal if you donate a little bit.”

Di Jiang looked smiling, but said the most hurtful words.

No one wants to donate their money.

There are not many people in this world who are noble and selfless. Even if there are, they are a minority, and they cannot be any fewer.

The ministers wanted to refuse immediately as they were really reluctant to donate.

But what happened yesterday made it impossible for them to refuse.

They can only accept the defeat and donate some money.

I thought it would be enough to just show my appreciation, but who would have thought that if I donated too little, the young emperor would take the initiative to remind me with a sense of oppression, "My dear minister, you spent more money on entertainment yesterday. Do you think you look down on my Southern Kingdom and me by donating so little?"

This, this, this, I dare not!

When the ministers heard this, they could only grit their teeth and try their best to donate money, and try to donate more than they spent on riding the beast yesterday.

Di Jiang had a good memory. He remembered exactly how much money everyone here spent on riding the beasts. These people couldn't get away with it, so they ended up bleeding heavily.

The ministers were so angry that their back teeth were about to break.

Everyone couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, could it be that His Majesty had teamed up with the little princess of Western Chu to set a trap for them by instigating everyone to ride wild beasts yesterday?

Definitely.

Your Majesty is so experienced at such a young age, you are really an old fox!

But the fact is, Di Jiang did not set any trap for the ministers. It was the ministers themselves who spent money lavishly and behaved undisciplinedly, which led to Di Jiang's targeting and exposing them.

Dijiang had raised a large sum of money, which was enough to cover the food and fodder needs of the Southern Kingdom when it went to war.

And the Southern Kingdom is preparing for war.

Which country should we go to war with?

Mobei.

Mobei has always had a marriage relationship with the South, and it should not have been easy to go to war. However, the so-called marriage relationship between the two countries once caused Dijiang's biological mother to suffer a lot during her lifetime.

The concubines sent from Mobei had troubled Dijiang and his mother more than once or twice, and Dijiang remembered all of this clearly.

He wants revenge.

Revenge must also be taken.

Furthermore, Mobei had previously sent a saintly girl, the daughter of a guilty minister, to his Southern Palace, and she had been dominating and bullying people for a long time in the name of the queen, so he was also holding a grudge!

I can't help but get it off my chest.

He wanted to unite with Western Chu to take over Mobei.

One day after the court meeting, Di Jiang found Jiujiu privately, cleared out the people around him, and said to Jiujiu: "Jiujiu, I am ready to go to war with Mobei, but the chance of winning is only 60%."

"I want to unite with Western Chu and attack Mobei together. This way, our chances of winning will be 100% certain."

"I just don't know what your father thinks? Is he willing to join forces with me?"

Di Jiang was worried that Emperor Zhaoning was only concerned with stability and was unwilling to start a war easily.

Jiujiu said: "Well, I should be going back to Xichu soon. I will go back and tell my father. I think he will agree, right?"

"Okay then, I'll wait for Jiujiu's news."

"In half a year at the earliest, or a year at the latest, I will definitely go to war with Mobei."

"We will definitely take over Mobei."

On the way back after Jiujiu and Dijiang finished talking about this, Dijiang's words kept echoing in her mind.

Jiujiu suddenly felt a little emotional. Some things seemed to have changed, but also seemed to have not changed. Brother Dijiang still became the Emperor of Man, and still embarked on the road of conquering all countries and gradually unifying them.

He seems to want revenge, but more importantly, he wants unification.

He wants to unify the world.

He has always been the decisive, ambitious, and domineering Di Jiang in the books.

But what if Brother Dijiang destroys the country he wants to destroy, and then attacks Western Chu?

Jiujiu was a little worried and therefore had a lot on her mind.

Jiujiu suddenly didn't want to stay in the palace, so she left the palace and went for a walk.

As luck would have it, she actually ran into the red-clothed monster, Dong Buhan, whom she met on the road that day.

After not seeing him for a few days, Dong Buhan seemed to have become more handsome again. His enchanting face made most women feel ashamed of themselves.

After Dong Buhan saw Jiujiu, he walked up to her gracefully and asked her, "Xiao Yueyue, tell me quickly, how did you know that the old lady from the Xu family was in a coma because of the new poison?"

"You can actually tell what new poison she was poisoned with?"

“That’s amazing.”

In the early years, he also went to see the old lady of the Xu family. However, even though he was proficient in poison techniques, he could not see anything.

Unexpectedly, the little girl saw through it.

Dong Buhan fanned himself in a showy manner and said harmlessly: "Xiao Yueyue, just tell me? If you tell me, I will..." I won't kill you.

In recent days, Dong Buhan has learned Jiujiu's true identity. One of the purposes of his trip is to kill Princess Yongle of Western Chu, Feng Yanyue.

Next, whether he would kill her or not would depend on the girl’s performance.

Jiujiu turned her head and glanced at Dong Buhan who was looking at her inquiringly. For some reason, no matter how she looked at this man, she felt that he had bad intentions and seemed to have some plan.

In this case, Jiujiu naturally wouldn't say too much.

Jiujiu changed the subject, "The kite over there looks great, I like it very much."

"I'll go take a look and buy two. It's windy today, so it's a good time to fly a kite."

"Xiao Yueyue." Dong Buhan caught up with Jiujiu unhappily and said, "You haven't answered my question yet? Don't go! Wait for me."

Jiujiu looked at the various kites displayed on the stall. There were even blank kites without any patterns. The owner said that she could draw them herself.

Jiujiu picked up the paintbrush happily and wanted to draw a kite to fly. Dong Buhan saw that she was only focused on painting and ignoring him, so he didn't urge her. Instead, he picked up the paintbrush and started painting with Jiujiu. From time to time, he grabbed Jiujiu's hand and drew a few strokes, and told Jiujiu how to draw beautifully.

As luck would have it, the scene of him holding Jiujiu's hand and drawing was seen by Dijiang who had chased out to look for Jiujiu.
