After the child's mind was read, the tyrant caught the male queen with a black face

The court of the State of Chen was flirting with the Huns.

The past two months have been like a roller coaster ride for them, exhausting both physically and mentally.

There was a locust outbreak in Xia State.

The Chen court was overjoyed and held a palace banquet for three consecutive days.

The locusts in the Xia Kingdom were stopped, and the emperor of the Xia Kingdom took the lead in eating locusts, which increased public support.

The Chen court began to worry, and the voices in the court discussions became much quieter.

General Wu Yi, a Xia nationality, led his army and civilians into the fiefdom of the King of Huainan.

The Chen court was once again overjoyed. Not only did they celebrate, but some people also offered to fund the King of Huainan.

But before they could decide how much supplies to provide to King Huainan, news came from the Xia Kingdom that King Huainan had slipped and knelt.

Everyone in the Chen court was almost mad with anger, and the words they used to curse the King of Huainan were even more unpleasant than those used by the people in the building.

However, when the people in the Chen court learned that King Huainan had issued the "Enfeoffment Order", they became enthusiastic again. They actively went to find the other five princes and vowed to cause internal strife in Daxia.

Then something even more outrageous happened: Prince Jing and Prince Yan directly killed the envoys. Prince Linjiang, Prince Hengshan, and Prince Xiping went out for a secret meeting, and they could not be found at all.

When the Chen court learned of the situation, they were furious.

Some court officials could not help but roar: "What on earth is Xiaguo doing? They are treating us like pets."

The faces of other Chen court officials became even darker, because these words were rough but true.

Finally, the Emperor of Chen made the decision: "We cannot fall into the rhythm of Xia again. There is no need to provoke a civil war. We just need to unite with the Xiongnu."

Other Chen court officials said: Yes, yes, yes, focus on yourself and never want to take a look at Xia’s intelligence again.

……

As for the center of the storm of public opinion, the Xia Kingdom court, life was extremely calm.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation of Daxia.

Prime Minister Li was bowing and reporting on the various diplomatic incidents caused by the King of Huainan.

At this time, the eunuch outside the door suddenly brought news that the Minister of War was anxious to see him.

The emperor waved his hand.

Soon, the door of the side hall was pushed open, and the Minister of War walked in with high spirits.

"Your Majesty, great joy!" said the Minister of War.

He was followed by several officials including the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War and the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

The emperor asked, "Why should I be happy?"

The Minister of War all replied: "General Lin, victory report! Great victory!"

The emperor stood up suddenly, thought for a moment, and said, "Young General Lin? That kid Lin Wenpeng?"

The Minister of War said, "Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor waved his hand and asked, "Aren't the Lin brothers training with General Li? How did they fight the Huns?"

The Minister of War replied, "Young General Lin is more arrogant than his brother. He thinks that fake fighting cannot train real soldiers. After practicing a few times, Young General Lin made a bet with General Li, and then led 1,500 cavalry to attack the Xiongnu border, and actually defeated a medium-sized tribe."

The emperor's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and his body began to move unconsciously: "Defeat? Such a great victory?"

The Minister of War followed behind the emperor, beaming with joy, and said, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. After the victory, General Lin chased the Xiongnu's defeated soldiers all the way to the outskirts of Beijing. Otherwise, I would not have received the news so quickly."

Emperor: "Good, good! He deserves a reward!"

At this time, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War who was following behind whispered: "Your Majesty, General Lin pretended to obey the military orders, contradicted General Li, and robbed 500 horses from the vanguard camp. These are all crimes..."

Before he could finish his words, he was kicked hard by the Minister of War.

The emperor laughed and said, "If 500 horses are stolen, I can exchange them for the victory report of killing 5,000 enemies. I agree. Where is the other person?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who came with him to report on the army's baggage, gave him a cold look and said softly, "To paraphrase the young imperial master, in a battle, whoever wins has the right, and being bad is the original sin."

The Minister of War's face instantly turned dark red.

The Minister of War once again followed the emperor and whispered, "General Lin is on the outskirts of the city. He is very close to Shanglin Garden."

The emperor was moved when he heard the voice: "Shanglin Garden? Where Xiaojiu often stays?"

Suddenly he looked at the Minister of War: "Did you arrange this intentionally?"

The Minister of War knelt down and said seriously, "Your Majesty, I dare not plot against you. General Lin is stationed by the river, and the closest boat is from Shanglin Garden. In addition, I have a selfish motive. General Lin does not believe in ghosts and gods, and is anxious to leave. But I hope that after seeing the power of the national master, he will stay for seven days and wait until the national master finishes the military sacrifice and prayer before leaving."

The emperor paused after hearing this, and took the initiative to help the Minister of War up: "What kind of selfishness is this? My dear minister, you are dedicated to serving the country and being a general. I am ashamed of myself for not being as good as you."

The Minister of War burst into tears of gratitude: "I dare not, I..."

The emperor patted the Minister of War on the shoulder and said, "Let's go to Shanglin Garden."

Court officials: "Yes."

……

Shanglinyuan.

Two palm-leaf fans brought a gentle breeze. Yuanruan leaned on the soft couch, crossing her legs with her chubby little feet.

She sipped on the bowl of ice milk and took a bite of preserved fruit, watching Qi Yue and a group of boys and girls of similar age practicing martial arts, playing polo, hunting, and participating in selections not far away.

These boys and girls are all tall and slender with good looks.

When they mounted their horses, they whizzed past her less than a hundred meters away, wearing red cloaks. The way they bent their bows and shot arrows was light and neat, and more handsome than any martial arts movie Yuan Ruan had seen.

When they dismounted, they all showed superb martial arts skills, wielding swords, spears, sticks and clubs with great skill. Even their thin clothes could not hide the lines of their muscles during the fight.

When practicing martial arts, they would also rehearse various formations and divide different teams into different groups for military exercises.

When playing polo, everyone performs various difficult moves on horseback.

Not to mention hunting, not only are they full of hormones, but their barbecue skills are also top-notch.

……

To be frank, Yuanruan feels a sense of joy in watching them, similar to watching the training camp of Produce Wushu 101, and can't wait to cheer for every young person who has made progress.

On this day, Yuanruan was again lamenting the loss of several newly eliminated young cavalrymen.

System: [Aruan, if it's really such a pity, just tell the Seventh Princess to let them all stay.]

Yuanruan: [No, no. This is a battle on the battlefield, not a stage performance.]

System: [That’s right. Ah, look, your brother and his friends are coming.]

Yuan Ruan immediately turned around and waved to the emperor, the crown prince, and more than a dozen court officials who were striding towards him from behind.
