In the morning court, the abbot of Baohua Temple suddenly donated a thousand acres of fertile land. The emperor's previous reason for taking the land was to support the war against the Western Rong, but today the reason was that the temple was willing to hand over the land to support the war in the south.
ha?
Everyone was still confused and didn't understand why they needed money when the country was at war.
Are you so supportive of war?
Are you, the Buddha, still merciful?
Don’t you have anything to say about the Buddha?
The emperor greatly appreciated the abbot's behavior.
Many people saw the signs.
The temple below had also heard the news long ago.
If you are tactful, you will take the initiative to hand it over.
After all, the arm cannot bend the thigh.
He was also stubborn and didn't want to hand it over, but before long, the abbot of the temple was found to have secretly married and had an illegitimate child at the foot of the mountain, and even embezzled a lot of money from the temple, and he was arrested.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
He did not dare to continue resisting. After all, money is something outside of the body. Why should his practice be affected by it?
…
The emperor came back to see Anjiu after the court session.
The bed was empty.
놛 looked around and saw only Xiaoqiu놌Xia.
"Where is Xiaojiu?" asked the emperor.
Qiu and Xia didn't often come into contact with the emperor. They were stunned for a moment after hearing this. Xiao Qiu said tremblingly, "Xiao Jiu got up and left early."
The emperor was silent for a while, then got up and went to the backyard.
The maids in the backyard were gathered together, working and chatting.
The round-faced palace maid suddenly rubbed her eyes.
"Are you dazzled? I seemed to see a man walking by."
The other maid turned pale.
"What man... that's His Majesty."
The round-faced palace maid's eyes widened.
Soon, everyone knelt on the ground.
An Jiu was talking to Aunt Qu when she suddenly realized something was wrong. She turned around and saw the Emperor not far behind her, looking at her through a transparent barrier in the sunlight.
An Jiu: "..."
She saw a huge crowd of people kneeling behind the emperor...
Although...
She had an "adultery" with the emperor, and she still hoped to cover it up.
Fortunately, the emperor reacted quickly. He walked over, stared at Aunt Qu's clothes hanging out to dry, and pointed at one of them.
"I want to wear this one."
놛 looked at An Jiu: "Send it over."
An Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.
He took the clothes and followed the emperor.
The round-faced maid patted her chest and said, "I'm so scared. Your Majesty came here just to pick out a piece of clothing. You're so particular."
The palace maid beside her nodded in agreement.
"Yes, he is your majesty after all."
Aunt Qu glared at them and said, "Your Majesty, are you guys talking about this?"
No one dared to say a word, and all of a sudden they dispersed.
On the way back, the emperor felt that his impulsiveness had subsided and he thought that his behavior had been rash and unstable.
Still childish.
놛 slowed down.
[It’s over.] 】
[It’s over. It’s over.] 】
[It’s over. It ...] 】
Anjiu looked up at 놛, but only saw 놛놅's back.
So, what's over?
An Jiu was puzzled.
[The silly goose must think I am stupid.] 】
[My image in her heart must not be that great...]
An Jiu: "..."
Not really, it's just that I feel a little inexplicable.
The emperor sighed.
Back at Guanghua Palace, before the two of them could say anything, King Jing arrived.
He has a strong body. He was injured before, but he is back to being full of energy in just a few days.
An Jiu felt that they had something important to discuss, so he went tactfully.
Xiao Fuzi stood outside with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking about.
An Jiu patted 놛놅's shoulder.
Xiao Fuzi was startled.
"Hey, Xiaojiu, what are you doing? I got scared." Xiao Fuzi raised her index finger.
An Jiu laughed: "What are you thinking about? So weird?"
Xiao Fuzi said: "I was thinking..."
In fact, I'm thinking about how to practice my back-beating technique, just in case His Majesty comes to see me next time.
Xiao Fuzi was very happy.
I didn't tell Xiaojiu about this, for fear that Xiaojiu would snatch my job.
If An Jiu knew, he would definitely tell her, "Grandpa Xiao Fuzi, you really think too much."
I have no interest in your job.
Who would want to give someone a back rub?
Aren't you tired?
The two of them stared at the ground in a daze.
King Jing came after a long time and left in a hurry.
Only then did An Jiu go in.
The emperor stood in front of the map and looked at it again.
After looking for a while, 놛 turned around and said, "Xiaojiu, come here."
An Jiu walked over.
"Look, this is the State of Chu." The emperor pointed to a piece of land on the map.
The map of the East Continent is completely different from the back, it looks like an irregular oval.
Daxia was bordered by the sea to the east and was surrounded by many countries, the largest of which was the State of Chu in the southwest.
It is also the biggest threat to Daxia.
"What did you see?" asked the emperor.
An Jiu: "The Chu State has many mountains and little arable land."
The emperor nodded.
"Even a country like this dares to attack Daxia. What does this mean?"
An Jiu thought for a moment and said, "This shows that Daxia's national strength is not as good as Chu's."
From a geographical point of view, Daxia absolutely crushes all the surrounding countries. It has the largest area of arable land, rivers and mountains, and most areas can meet the needs of irrigation.
All the lands of Daxia were in the hands of powerful clans.
Therefore, although Daxia has a superior geographical location, it is still a mess when fighting.
This is the limit of Anjiu's understanding.
"Your Majesty, if we go to war, will there be no chance of winning?" An Jiu asked in confusion.
The emperor looked at her and smiled.
"You only see the surface." The emperor said: "It's true that Chu is warlike, but our country has no land. In other words, if we want to go to war, we have to mobilize the whole country to accumulate soldiers and food, which are still very limited, so..."
The emperor sneered: "We must fight quickly and decisively, because we can't afford to waste time."
An Jiu nodded.
yes……
It seemed that Daxia could not afford the consumption, and the emperor was so poor that he had to sell jewelry.
However, the emperor said: "Actually, this war may not be a bad thing for me."
"As long as Third Brother can hold back the State of Chu and waste time with us, I will take the opportunity to attack the powerful people in the south..."
An Jiu was stunned.
It seemed like I suddenly understood.
The former emperor had no legitimate reason to deal with these.
It's ok now.
All the pots were put on the Chu State.
The king of Qin took advantage of the chaos to deal with those powerful people, and with King Jing and the regular army in charge, he was not afraid of their resistance.
If anyone resists, we will kill him. At worst, we can blame it all on the State of Chu.
After all, it is understandable that sometimes the defense line is loose and some spies from the State of Chu run in.
An Jiu glanced at the emperor, a smile on his face, and was looking at the map proudly.
An Jiu suddenly felt that perhaps this chess game had been set up for a long time.
Now, 놛 can't wait to share the joy with Anjiu.
Such an important matter, and you just said it like this?
He had previously suspected that he was a spy for the State of Chu.
Now aren't you afraid that she'll say go?
Does the emperor trust her so much?
What a love-brained person.
An Jiu complained silently and also looked at the map.
[One day, Daxia will take over the entire Dongzhou continent. 】
Anjiu looks...
No, brother, because you are a love-brained person, why did you suddenly start to pursue a career?
Besides, the Dongzhou continent is so big...
In the afternoon, the emperor summoned his ministers for discussion.
We must fight against the State of Chu.
These ministers were either "inherited" from their families, or were recommended, and some were even bought.
In the words of King Jing, they are a bunch of good-for-nothings.
He just kept insisting that the war should not be fought, saying that if the war continued, Daxia would be conquered.
The emperor ignored him and directly announced that King Jing would lead the expedition.
Prime Minister Jiang frowned and said, "Your Majesty, fighting a war is no small matter. What about the soldiers and food?"
The emperor was careless: "Then let King Jing go to the south to take charge first."
After saying that, he left without caring about her reaction.
Leaving everyone confused.
