The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

"Your Majesty, I think Prince Yu's statement is inappropriate. General Rong's military report said that the pirates have brought a large warship with strange weapons on board that are flaming and can kill people. General Rong's military report cannot be false. I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right. We cannot take it lightly and must send more troops." said the Minister of War Gu Donghao.

"Your Majesty, I second the motion." Right Prime Minister Hong Zhuoqi said.

“Father, I also feel that this matter is extremely serious.” The fourth prince Chu Chenyan stepped forward and said.

"Fourth brother, you are exaggerating. How could those pirates be so powerful? You can't let the general be your uncle and help him to lie."

"You, the second brother, cannot insult the younger brother. Father, I have no such intention." Chu Chenyan glared at Chu Chenyu fiercely.

"Second brother, fourth brother has no such intention." The fifth prince Chu Chenye looked at Chu Chenyu coldly.

"Your Majesty, I agree with Prince Yu's statement. Haven't the pirates in the East China Sea always come to harass us in small boats? How could they have such large ships and such great strength? I don't believe it. Our country is weak now and there is no need to send troops."

The two sides were arguing fiercely, and the emperor didn't say a word.

At this time, the left prime minister Xue Conggui stepped forward and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I agree with what the Crown Prince and Minister Gu said. General Rong's military report is true. Moreover, I have analyzed that the pirates along the coast have caused more serious damage than General Rong said.

The pirates in the East China Sea have been harassing our coast for nearly a year. They must have strengthened their training in their lair, built large ships, and invented strange weapons. This time they must be holding back a big move. It must be a big deal. We must send a large number of troops over there."

Prince Chu Chenyu of Yu, seeing that his grandfather did not support him, looked up at his grandfather. His grandfather shook his head when no one else was paying attention. Although he was a little confused, he didn't say anything else.

The emperor glanced at Xue Conggui and said, "What Prime Minister Xue said makes a lot of sense. Then according to what Prime Minister Xue said, how many troops should be sent to fight?" The emperor thought to himself: I wonder what evil intentions this old fox is up to.

Xue Conggui said with a sly look in his eyes, "I think that those pirates have unknown weapons. We must send at least 200,000 soldiers to deal a heavy blow to them."

"Two hundred thousand? My dear ministers, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I agree with Prime Minister Xue. Only if we defeat the pirates will we not be looked down upon by other countries."

"Father, I also think that Prime Minister Xue is right. I request to lead the troops." The second prince Chu Chenyu stepped forward to request. He thought that this was his grandfather's wish for him to take charge of the military. He was thinking, haha! This is 200,000, 200,000 troops! Once he took charge of the military and won the battle...

"Your Majesty, I believe that we only need to send 100,000 elite soldiers to drive away the pirates." General Su Huoling said.

"One hundred thousand? General Su, you can defeat the pirates with one hundred thousand. Don't dream. This requires a military order."

"Your Majesty, if you need me, I will do whatever it takes to defend Western Chu to the death."

The two sides started arguing again.

"Your Majesty, I have to report that the silver and food left in the treasury can only support 100,000 soldiers." The newly appointed Minister of Revenue Wei Gengqing stepped forward and said fearfully.

The emperor frowned when he heard this. He knew that the treasury was already very empty because of the wars with the two countries. A lot of military expenses were supported by the money earned by his third son Jing'er and Han Shizi from their business. Now that things have just gotten better, his daughter has gone to marry again, which has exhausted the treasury.

The emperor frowned grimly and looked at the crown prince Chu Chenxiao, "Xiao'er, how do you think we should deal with this?"

"Father, Minister Wei said that the silver and food in the treasury are only enough to support 100,000 soldiers. There are still 100,000 soldiers ahead. If we send so many more soldiers, there will not be enough food. We will be in a more passive position. It is better for us to send 60,000 soldiers to support them first, and then send the second batch after we raise silver. I will donate 100,000 taels of silver tomorrow."

"I second the proposal. I will donate 100,000 taels of silver." The Minister of War Gu Donghao also quickly expressed his opinion.

"I second the motion. I will donate 60,000 taels of silver."

"I second the motion. I will donate fifty thousand taels of silver."

"Your son will donate one hundred thousand taels."

"Your son will donate 60,000 taels."

Led by the prince, everyone expressed their opinions.

"Your Majesty, my house was robbed by a bandit some time ago. Now I am powerless and can only borrow some silver and donate 10,000 taels." Xue Conggui cried poorly.

Chu Chenyu quickly followed suit and cried, "Father, my son's palace was also robbed. I can only borrow some silver and donate 10,000 taels."

Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao looked at the grandfather and grandson acting, and a sneer appeared on his thin lips.

The emperor had a smile on his face at this time. The prince's trick was quite effective. Everyone present had expressed their opinions, so he would be able to raise more money for tomorrow's morning court. He looked at Chu Chenyu again and felt that his second son was hopeless and was getting further and further away from him.

At this time, he said, "My dear ministers! I am very pleased that you can help. Who do you think should lead the troops this time?"

"Your Majesty! Didn't General Su want to issue a military order?"

"Your Majesty, I will follow your arrangements," Su Huoling said.

The second prince Chu Chenyu seemed to want to ask to lead the troops, but Xue Xiang interrupted him and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that this battle in the East China Sea is of great importance. If we cannot win this time, Xichu and Beiyue will definitely look down on us, which may make them ready to make a move.

Prince Jing has not returned from Nanchu yet. I think that since His Royal Highness has experience in fighting, His Royal Highness should lead the troops this time, and General Su should accompany him. I wonder if my suggestion is feasible."

"Well, Prime Minister Xue is right. We must win this battle against the pirates. Let me think about it, and you should also think about it when you go back. We will discuss it again at the court tomorrow morning. The prince, please stay." The emperor ordered.

All the ministers and princes who were summoned left the imperial study.

After everyone left, the emperor said to the prince, "Xiao'er, you seem to have something to say to your father."

"Father, I want to say that you don't need to worry about the incident in the East China Sea this time. Although the pirates have magical weapons, we have them too! Some time ago, my third brother formed a 10,000-man brave army in the Jingyong Army, and it will come in handy this time. I will lead the Divine Weapon Battalion in the Divine Weapon Army and set off first." When Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao was training in the Divine Weapon Battalion, he had used every weapon. Those weapons were not the arrows, guns, and continuous bows and crossbows that they told others about.

There were also powerful weapons that no one outside knew about, such as bombs and submachine guns, as well as even more powerful machine guns. He was confident that they would be able to deal with pirates.

"Can the weapons of the Divine Artifact Camp deal with those pirates?" the emperor asked doubtfully.
