Chapter 357 Three Things about Chu
The Sixth Princess received the news from Daxia.
I couldn't help but curse.
"Asshole."
She felt that the Emperor of Daxia had a handsome and gentlemanly face for nothing.
In fact, he is a shameless person.
She knew what he was planning and was weighing the options in her mind.
If we fight with Dai, what if Daxia takes advantage of us?
If not, the cunning Emperor of Daxia will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to gain benefits, and then the State of Chu will be in a passive position.
No, you can’t fight for now.
We need to think long-term.
But the people of Chu did not think so. They were warlike and had deep-rooted ideas of aggression. Since their own country had nothing, they would just fight and rob. Those military generals did not care whether the treasury was empty or not.
Moreover, even if it was empty, it was because of the new emperor. In order to exchange him, five cities and 200,000 taels of silver were lost.
The Sixth Princess was helpless.
Even a little overwhelmed.
At this time, news came from outside.
"Your Highness, something bad has happened. The Dai people attacked us last night."
The Sixth Princess stood up.
"Why did the Dai people suddenly launch a surprise attack?"
The person reporting it doesn't know either.
The Sixth Princess thought it was a conspiracy, but she had no choice but to jump.
She closed her eyes. Now they had only one way.
If it succeeds, we can annex Dai State. If it fails...
No, we can't fail.
Absolutely not.
…
The war between Chu and Dai still had an impact on Daxia.
War requires food, fodder and weapons. Daxia has them and can sell them to them.
Many merchants came to the border for this reason, and both sides tacitly agreed to it.
The palace is busy preparing for the New Year.
It was still the familiar palace banquet, the boring palace banquet, but the palace banquet that made people have to come.
Everyone was obviously happier this year, the banquet was full of joy, and the new nobles in the court were proud to be able to attend the palace banquet.
The emperor didn't want An Jiu to come, as he felt it was too tiring, but An Jiu still wanted to come and see the excitement.
The main purpose is to look at the top three scorers in last year's imperial examination.
Of course, the most important thing is the third place.
According to gossip from people in the palace, she is very beautiful.
An Jiu asked curiously: "Is she more beautiful than the emperor?"
Then everyone fell silent.
The emperor was helpless about this. How could such a handsome man like him not be as good as the third place in the imperial examination?
He pointed to Anjiu.
"On the left, those are the ones from the Hanlin Academy."
These three people must first enter the Hanlin Academy. If they do a good job, they will enter the cabinet. If they are nerds, then sorry, they should continue to stay in the Hanlin Academy or go to other departments.
An Jiu took a quick look and saw three young men. The top scholar had a handsome appearance, calm and dignified manner, the second place was a little older, mature and steady, and the third place was really handsome. An Jiu suspected that he had squeezed in just by relying on his face.
The emperor saw through An Jiu's thoughts and said with a smile, "Wei Changfeng is also quite knowledgeable."
Mainly, this person is very interesting.
An Jiu was curious: "What do you mean by interesting?"
The emperor knew the backgrounds of these people. The top two candidates were both legitimate sons of local big families. But Wei Changfeng was different. He was the illegitimate son of a minor official, and his mother was the most famous courtesan in Yangzhou at that time.
With such an identity and such a face, his life was destined not to be smooth.
But……
Wei Changfeng was able to pass the exam relying on his own strong ability.
"Don't think that Wei Changfeng is smiling at people now, he might stab someone in the next second."
Anyway, he is a ruthless person.
An Jiu thought about it and felt that this character was somewhat familiar, so he asked, "Is it like Doctor Jiang?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed. He said, although Wei Changfeng was a ruthless man, why didn't he hate him at all? It turned out to be because of this.
An Jiu said: "You can't just look at the appearance."
It would be troublesome if Huang Chao was accidentally taken down.
The emperor snorted coldly.
[She insisted on coming to see the handsome man, and asked me not to just look at his appearance. ]
【It’s really unfair.】
An Jiu looked at the round back of the head, where a few little curls were sticking up in dissatisfaction.
I feel like laughing.
This year's banquet was filled with singing and dancing, and everyone was having a great time.
Prince Duan sat in silence, drinking and not making any noise.
Ning Qingci took a quick look and saw that Yao San was not there. He heard that he had gone to the southwest with King Jing.
There is a war going on over there. I hope Third Brother Yao and the soldiers of Daxia are all safe.
Prince Duan suddenly snorted coldly.
Ning Qingci turned to look at him.
"What are you laughing at, my Lord?"
Prince Duan said sarcastically: "Are you disappointed that your lover didn't come?"
Ning Qingci nodded honestly: "A little bit."
After killing 800 enemies and losing 1,000 of his own men, Prince Duan was so angry at Ning Qingci that he died.
No one needed to tell him, he was not a fool, and rumors always reached his ears.
He then realized that Ning Qingci originally had someone he liked, but ended up dumping her because he wanted to climb up the social ladder.
Now that Yao San is back, what's going on? Does Ning Qingci still want to rekindle their past relationship?
How is that possible?
No matter what their relationship is like, Ning Qingci is the daughter-in-law of the royal family. If she dares to find a man outside, she will be dead.
But Prince Duan was not feeling well.
Now hearing Ning Qingci say this again, Prince Duan couldn't help but warn him.
“Remember who you are.”
Ning Qingci ignored it.
Impotent rage.
That's Prince Duan.
It’s still more cost-effective to eat more.
Prince Duan was sulking for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him. He sighed helplessly and looked at the lively and prosperous palace banquet. Things and people had changed. He was no longer the high-spirited Prince Duan.
After the palace banquet, the emperor asked with a smile: "Xiaojiu, how about we go to Jinxiu Palace to celebrate the New Year?"
An Jiu agreed.
The two of them made the Jinxiu Palace very comfortable. It had everything, and the emperor felt particularly comfortable there without having to be pretentious or pretend.
When the time came, fireworks exploded all over the sky and the emperor kissed An Jiu's forehead.
"Xiaojiu, I am very happy."
An Jiu heard his pounding heartbeat.
An Jiu smiled and said, "I'm happy too."
The emperor held her in his arms and seemed to say something, but the sound of the fireworks was too loud and An Jiu couldn't hear clearly.
While the war between Chu and Dai was still going on, Daxia was experiencing rapid development.
The emperor was very smart, his thoughts were a little ahead of the times, and many of his policies were thought out by him in advance. Sometimes there would be mistakes, and An Jiu would give some pointers.
Of course, it's just a reminder, the emperor will be able to adjust quickly.
That day, the emperor had just finished lunch and was staring at the map. When An Jiu came, he called An Jiu over and gave her a hard kiss on the forehead.
"The battle between Chu and Dai is almost over." The emperor pointed to the map.
An Jiu asked curiously: "Who will win then?"
The emperor smiled, his face looking unfathomable.
However, the hall was filled with the crazy and excited sounds of screaming chickens.
【Hahahahahahahaha.】
[Of course I will win. ]
[My intelligence and wisdom are unprecedented and unparalleled. ]
An Jiu looked at him with a smile.
He does have reason to be proud.
He also has the right to be proud.
He is really smart and handsome.
An Jiu smiled like an aunt.
I love him so much.
When Jiang Sheng came in, he saw this scene.
My cousin looked like a proud male peacock who had successfully courted a mate.
Xiaojiu is like a duck whose soul has been seduced away.
This sour smell of love.
"cousin."
The emperor turned around.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Sheng said: "Chu and Dai asked for help at the same time, who should we help?"
Jiang Sheng paused and said, "How about... we kill both of them at once?"
The emperor shook his head and said, "We can't afford the big pie of Chu."
Daxia had just stabilized, and the emperor felt that he could not be impatient and had to keep it stable, otherwise the Chu people would probably be in a desperate situation.
then……
So, on a bright afternoon in spring when flowers were blooming, news came from the south.
The Dai Kingdom is gone.
