Chapter 151 The Last City
The new emperor of Panlong Kingdom never expected that his fifth brother was still alive despite his fate. He didn't know whether to thank his fifth brother or kill him directly.
Zhang Zhang reacted quickly, stood up immediately, and asked politely:
"I wonder how the prince is doing now?"
"The prince was assassinated by a dead soldier and lost an arm. It was our queen who was merciful and used a 300-year-old ginseng in the treasure house to save him."
The female official of the Ministry of Rites told the truth.
After hearing what the female officer said, not only Zhang Zhang, but also the new emperor felt relieved. Even if the fifth prince was alive, he no longer posed any threat to them. After all, a physically disabled prince could not ascend to the throne.
"The Queen was generous and took action to save the fifth brother. This matter"
The newly enthroned Sixth Prince obviously wanted to turn the story around, but the female officers of the Fengqi State Etiquette Department were not easy to fool. They came with a mission.
"Your Majesty, the previous war between the two countries was because your fifth brother sneaked into Fengqi Kingdom to assassinate our queen. Fortunately, the queen was protected by God and nothing happened. He also said it himself, it was under the order of the deceased former emperor. , that’s why.
The Queen didn't want to start a big fight, but just issued a letter of credence, hoping that your country could give an explanation and give the Queen some compensation. As a result, the former Emperor was so messy that he refused to admit the matter and even sent death soldiers to assassinate your fifth brother in order to kill him and silence him. .
It's a pity that he was rescued by us, and the former emperor also helped you because of his wrong decision!
Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, as the head of a country, should he give our Queen an explanation? "
The female officer didn't even look at the faces of the Panlong Kingdom ministers, and directly said what she said. The entire hall was very quiet. The envoys of the Xuanwu Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom looked at the Panlong Kingdom female officer, their eyes flickering.
"Bold lady officer, what does this matter have to do with our Majesty?"
A minister from Panlong Kingdom jumped out and shouted loudly.
The female officer took a step forward, looked around with disdain in her eyes, and said loudly:
"Why is it irrelevant? Could it be that the emperor who passed away earlier was not His Majesty's biological brother? Or is your Panlong Kingdom planning to change its name?"
The female officer's words were also very sharp, which made the officer who had scolded him blush. After a while, he said:
"Your Fengqi Kingdom has already seized four cities, what else do you want?"
"Of course it's not enough. Our Queen said at the beginning that she wanted five cities as compensation, even if one city is missing! If you are not willing to give it, we will continue to send troops!"
The female officer refused to give in.
"Shameless!"
"It's better than what you dare to do and don't dare to admit. Don't think that our Queen doesn't know your thoughts. She just doesn't see that our Fengqi Kingdom is governed by the Queen. She wants to kill our Queen and plunge Fengqi Kingdom into chaos. You can just sit down. Are you reaping the benefits?"
The female officer's counterattack was very direct.
"How dare you flaunt yourself as an indomitable man with such despicable methods! Damn you! If you have the ability to personally lead the troops to fight, our queen will respect your ambition to conquer the world!"
The female officer waved her sleeves and said loudly.
The voice was loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear, and then he turned to the envoys of the White Tiger Kingdom and the Xuanwu Kingdom and said:
"Don't just stand there and watch the joke. If the Panlong Kingdom dares to have such thoughts towards us, will they bypass you? It's just because they don't have the ability to send troops to the three countries at the same time that they use this despicable method.
As long as the assassination is successful and the Queen has not chosen the Crown Princess, the three princesses will surely fight. When our Fengqi Kingdom is in chaos, will you all ally with the Panlong Kingdom and get a share of the pie together? I just don’t know which of your countries’ turn will be next?
The emperors of your two countries are in their prime, and they don’t have any heir apparents! There are quite a few princes, right? While you are fighting among yourself, I will continue to eat away at you."
"That's nonsense! Stop trying to sow discord here! Pull it off."
Zhang Zhang immediately shouted to stop.
"No trouble! I just brought the Queen's request. You'd better give me an answer as soon as possible so that I can go back and return. As long as I die in your Panlong Kingdom today, Fengqi Kingdom will send troops tomorrow !”
After the female officer finished speaking, she turned around and left the hall with her head held high.
The new emperor's face was extremely dark, and all the courtiers were talking in low voices. The military attache with a bad temper was already shouting that he wanted to cut off the sacrificial flag of the arrogant female officer, and then send troops to Fengqi Kingdom.
The envoys from the Xuanwu Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom looked at each other and did not interrupt.
"quiet!"
The eunuch beside the new emperor immediately stopped him.
Zhang Zhang stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. We can discuss this matter later. Let's meet with the envoy first!"
With Zhang Zhang's reminder, everyone remembered that there were envoys from the other two countries in the hall, and everyone stopped talking and pretended that nothing happened just now.
The envoys from the Xuanwu Kingdom and the White Tiger Kingdom were also very discerning. After congratulating the new emperor on his accession to the throne, sending congratulatory gifts, they left the hall citing the fatigue of traveling and traveling.
After there were no outsiders, the new emperor lowered his face and said directly:
"Hmph! You say it's congratulations, but you're obviously here to cause trouble for me. In that case, let's fight! Are we still afraid of a mere girl country in Fengqi?"
"Your Majesty is wise! I am willing to fight."
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
"Your Majesty, the national treasury is not rich and may not be able to support this war!"
An old minister with a gray beard stood up and said in a trembling voice.
"What? The treasury is not rich! Where has all the money gone?"
The new emperor's face turned completely dark.
As soon as these words came out, the old minister knelt down and said with a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty, after you ascend the throne, you will reward officials, repair the palace, fill the harem, and prepare for the enthronement ceremony. All these will cost money."
“Where did the taxes collected go?”
The new emperor asked sharply.
"Your Majesty, you have forgotten that because you ascended the throne as emperor, you issued a general amnesty to the whole country and exempted you from taxes for one year."
The old minister lowered his head, but his voice reached everyone's ears.
"."
After participating in the enthronement ceremony, the female officials of Fengqi Kingdom successfully returned to Fengqi Kingdom and brought back the credentials of Panlong Kingdom.
The rhetoric of the letter of credence is very gorgeous. The central meaning is that the new emperor ascends the throne and does not want to cause any more disputes and let the people suffer from the war. It can also be regarded as wiping the ass of the stupid decision made by the former emperor, giving up a city and ending the war between the two countries. We will all still be good neighbors from now on.
The eldest princess asked the female official to read the credentials to the court, and then immediately ordered people to take over the new city.
At this point, Panlong Kingdom's plan failed, and Fengqi Kingdom gained five more cities, expanded its territory, and the whole country was filled with joy.
After the eldest princess completed her one-year task of supervising the country and handed over a satisfactory answer sheet, she handed over to the second princess and took her family to Zhuoxiu Garden to accompany Lianyi.
In the second month of the Second Queen's supervision of the country, there was abnormal rainfall across the country. It rained intermittently for half a month, causing floods. Several cities were inundated, causing floods.
