Princess Fubao brought trillions of goods to help her father rule the world
Chapter 431 Why bother thinking about it?
Dali Temple Minister Lin Shigong drank the wine in his glass and said nonchalantly, "Your Majesty's thoughts are hard to guess. We can't figure it out even if we rack our brains. Why bother with this?"
As he spoke, he glanced at everyone and said, "In short, whatever the emperor wants, we, as his subjects, just need to obey his will!"
Zheng Jingren, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, carefully looked at his boss and said, "It's not you who are in trouble. Once the army sets out, our Ministry of Revenue will have a hard time... If the army can win the battle quickly, it will be better. If it drags on for a year or two, a lot of food and grass will be consumed to provide for 300,000 troops..."
Song Zhong frowned slightly, silently picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a big gulp.
Lin Shigong also saw the sign and stopped talking, just lowered his head to drink and eat.
The atmosphere in the room fell silent for a moment.
Seeing that no one spoke, Fei Yangyang, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, stroked his beard and spoke with a smile on his face.
"You don't have to worry about it. The food and grass for the 300,000-man army is only a temporary problem! After we invade Beixiao, all the good things in Beixiao will belong to Dongcui..."
Song Zhong and Zheng Jingren were both stunned. What good things could Bei Xiao have?
Beixiao is a small and broken country that has been dependent on Dongcui for many years. If it had good things, could it have survived until now?
I'm afraid that Dongcui doesn't even need to send troops, as Daqian will be able to destroy Beixiao.
Lin Shigong's eyes flashed with surprise: "Master Fei, do you know anything? Why don't you tell us? We are all colleagues, we will forget it after just one listen..."
This was clearly telling Fei Yangyang that he didn't need to worry about them spreading the news like a loudspeaker.
They are not gossipy women, they just want to have a clear idea in their mind...
Seeing that everyone was looking at him eagerly, Fei Yangyang waved his hands and said, "Let's not talk about the affairs of the court while we drink. I haven't been here for a while, and this Zui Jiangyue's wine tastes even better!"
Song Zhong and Zheng Jingren looked at each other, then picked up the wine glasses on the table and drank them all.
"Master Fei, please don't keep us in suspense... Look, it's only been half a day and Master Song has grown a few more gray hairs due to worry! Since we are officials in the same court and are loyal to the emperor, please tell us a little so that we can have a general idea... Otherwise, I'm afraid our Ministry of Revenue will have to settle old accounts with you all for food and fodder..."
Fei Yangyang paused holding the chopsticks, and a hint of imperceptible anger flashed in his eyes.
Isn’t it just borrowing some silver from the Ministry of Revenue?
This is an old account that has been going on for many years, and it is worth Zheng Jingren's discussion.
Forget it, just tell them a thing or two!
She didn't want to pay back the silver. She had recently taken in two beautiful concubines, and they often begged her for some gold and silver jewelry and lip balm.
With the sweet and soft beauty in his arms, Fei Yangyang naturally couldn't resist the beauty's coquettishness.
This is not... the one who will suffer is your own wallet...
He coughed lightly and lowered his voice to a very low level: "Then I will reveal a few things to you, so that you can have a general idea! However, you must not spread what we said today... otherwise, I will be the one who suffers~"
Zheng Jingren nodded quickly: "Brother Fei, don't worry, we swear to heaven that we will never reveal a single word to anyone else!"
Fei Yangyang then coughed lightly and said in a voice that several people could hear: "The emperor suddenly sent 300,000 troops to deal with Bei Xiao because the emperor of Bei Xiao was not honest. The tribute sent this year is still two glass jars like in previous years! This made the emperor unhappy!"
Song Zhong's frown did not relax. Even if it was true as Fei Yangyang said, His Majesty would not send 300,000 troops to destroy Beixiao in a rage...
His Majesty will only send envoys to Beixiao to give the Emperor of Beixiao a good warning.
There must be other things. His Majesty would not do such a waste of money and time just to vent his anger!
Lin Shigong asked doubtfully: "Brother Fei, is there something hidden here? Our emperor is not such an impulsive person... Besides, we all know Bei Xiao's situation, and being able to send two glass jars is already very good..."
As soon as he finished speaking, several people in the private room nodded in unison.
A few years ago, when Princess Bei Xiao and King Xiaoyao came, they said with their own mouths that their Emperor Bei Xiao and Queen only ate steamed buns every day!
If they had money, would they still have to eat steamed bread?
Seeing the doubts in the eyes of several people, Fei Yangyang couldn't help but continue: "This is only one of the reasons. The second is that Beixiao secretly took Daqian, Tianyang, Xiqi and Dajing into its pockets! Moreover, Beixiao also has high-yield grain varieties, which are said to be able to produce 1,000 kilograms per mu! If you continue to let Beixiao develop?"
As soon as Fei Yangyang finished speaking, he saw the faces of several people in the private room changed.
Song Zhong took a deep breath, Bei Xiao was really doing great things quietly!
They have taken over so many countries in one go. If they are not destroyed in time, Dongcui will suffer sooner or later!
Will they still be alive to drink here at Zuijiangyue by then?
What the hell! I'm afraid I'll even lose my life by then!
"It's like this! I have to say that the Emperor of Bei Xiao is really ambitious, but he can't accomplish his great cause after meeting our emperor! I can only hope that the 300,000-man army can conquer Bei Xiao in one fell swoop!"
Fei Yangyang laughed out loud: "Our emperor is far better than Emperor Bei Xiao in terms of governing the country and strategy! In my opinion, although Emperor Bei Xiao is an emperor, he is petty. How nice it would be if he could just be our emperor's little follower? Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to be content. Now, this has brought disaster to Bei Xiao, right?"
Several people nodded, that’s right!
How nice it would be to be Dong Cui's follower peacefully. The emperor was merciful and never took action against Bei Xiao.
Now the Northern Xiao Kingdom is truly isolated and helpless~
When everyone was drinking happily, they found that the wine jar was empty.
Lin Shigong blushed and shouted at the top of his voice: "Waiter! Bring me two more jugs of good wine!"
Soon someone knocked on the door of the private room, and Niu Ma brought in two jugs of good wine with a pale face.
But everyone was drinking so intently that they didn't even look closely at the expressions on the cows and horses' faces.
When the cows and horses came out of the private room, their legs seemed to be out of control...
He took a few steps forward and fell to the ground.
The cows and horses didn't even make a sound, and they climbed up from the ground with wooden faces, as if they felt no pain.
Just now, he heard their conversation clearly in the private room next to them.
The purpose of Zui Jiang Yue was to collect all kinds of useful information, then screen it and send it back to Bei Xiao.
They also have businesses such as Junzitai and Kelai'an under their control. There are secret mechanisms hidden in each room to ensure that they can hear every conversation between the dignitaries clearly.
Just now, those people said that the Dongcui army will set out to attack Beixiao in three days!
Such important news must be sent back to Beixiao as soon as possible...
