"Dang Dang Dang..."
In the Daxia Palace, the emergency meeting bell rang frantically, shaking the whole city.
In Tianxia Palace.
Emperor Xia sat on the dragon chair with a solemn expression: "My dear friends, the 200,000-strong army led by Princess Tianlang has already pointed its sword at Tianmen Mountain. Huangzhou has fallen, and the king of Huangzhou is nowhere to be found."
"At this time, the 100,000 reinforcements led by Marshal Li have just arrived at Tianmen Mountain and have launched defenses on the spot, preparing to resist the Sirius army from attacking Qingzhou."
"Information came from the Sirius Kingdom. This time, Princess Sirius is planning to occupy Huangzhou and won't leave!"
"The Sirius Empire wants to annex Huangzhou this time!"
"My dear friends, what do you think we should do?"
All the ministers bowed their heads, and no one dared to "take" Emperor Xia's gaze.
The power of the Sirius Empire and the ferocity of the Sirius cavalry have long broken the defenses of the ministers of Great Xia!
The wilderness is a bad land.
Since the people of Huangzhou are all evildoers or sinners, they are worthless. If they are taken over, they will be taken over!
Anyway, it was a lawless land.
If you fall, fall!
Wasn't the emperor mentally prepared?
As for King Xia Tian of Huangzhou... when the Ninth Prince granted the land to Huangzhou, didn't he just ask him to die?
Now, isn't it just what the emperor wants?
The civil and military officials of Great Xia are all human beings.
At this moment, all the ministers had made up their mind to pretend to be deaf and mute regarding the fall of Huangzhou, and they would definitely not say much to avoid getting angry.
At the beginning, the emperor wanted to kill the king of Huangzhou, and everyone in the Daxia court knew it.
As a result, the prince was deposed because of this matter and was placed under house arrest in the worship hall, which was beyond everyone's expectation.
Therefore, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger!
It is impossible to guess the emperor's thoughts.
at this time.
There was total silence in the entire Tianxia Palace.
Emperor Xia sat on a high dragon chair, looking around at the ministers in the palace with his dragon eyes, feeling powerless in his heart.
Usually when good things happen, the palace is full of people singing praises.
Now that the country is in trouble, there is not even a single person clamoring to fight back!
Is this his minister of Daxia?
Are you so afraid of Sirius?
"boom......"
Emperor Xia was furious and slapped the armrest of the dragon chair heavily: "Say what?"
"Aren't you usually very talkative?"
"Why do you become mute when the country is in trouble?"
"Do we really not want Huangzhou anymore?"
Everyone remained silent.
The fire in Emperor Xia's heart was rising steadily: "Do you think that I am a foolish king and think that you can fool me at will?"
"Plop..."
The ministers in the palace were so frightened that their knees weakened and they knelt on the ground: "I will die!"
"Hahaha......."
Emperor Xia's angry laughter was full of murderous intent: "Wansi, Wansi, as soon as you encountered the matter of the Sirius Empire, you knew that you would die ten thousand times. You only have one life, how can you die ten thousand times?"
"Do you want me to kill you and then whip your corpses ten thousand times?"
The faces of the ministers changed greatly, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads: "I will die!"
At this time, the emperor in the Tianxia Palace was furious, the officials were terrified, and the historians were writing furiously, writing down the appearance of Emperor Xia and his ministers at this moment in the history books.
Emperor Xia's anger was blazing, and he directly called out his name: "Prime Minister Zuo, not only are you the head of the hundred officials, but your daughter Sima Lan also went into the wilderness with the Ninth Prince, and now she doesn't know whether she will live or die. Aren't you panicked?"
"Don't you have any idea in your mind?"
Sima Jian said calmly: "Your Majesty, the country is in ruins and the prince is in ruins. The only thing we can do is to send troops to fight back!"
"We will send another 200,000 troops to take back Huangzhou!"
That's right!
Sima Jian was not panicked at all!
After the Battle of Huangzhou, Xia Tian sent people to the Imperial Capital to tell Sima Jian everything he knew about the situation, and also brought two pieces of dragon meat.
One piece is for him.
One piece is for Sima Mei.
Before going to court, Sima Jian had already eaten the old hen stewed with dragon meat. He felt refreshed both physically and mentally, and he felt light when he walked.
In this battle, Huangzhou wiped out 200,000 Tianlang troops and captured the eldest and little princesses of Tianlang. When he thought of this, Sima Jian felt proud.
Twenty years of humiliation in the desolate state turned into snow in one day.
Twenty years of grievance was finally released.
Now that the King of Huangzhou has established a foothold in Huangzhou, from now on, the Sima family will keep their promise and fully support him.
Perhaps, no one expected that the Ninth Prince who was kicked out of the imperial capital in embarrassment might be the real Holy King.
At first, he made a risky bet, but today it seems that he was right!
Sima Jian wanted to laugh when he thought of this.
Emperor Xia's eyes were sharp: "Prime Minister Zuo, I ask you, can my money and food in Daxia still support a war that will overwhelm the country?"
Sima Jian shook his head: "No!"
"But, even if you can't, you still have to fight!"
"Otherwise, all the countries in the mainland will think that the Daxia Empire is easy to bully, and they will attack us one by one!"
"According to the information I have received, the barbarians in the old forests in the north are already preparing to invade the northern front!"
"Your Majesty, please make your decision!"
Emperor Xia frowned: "Right Prime Minister, what do you think?"
at this time.
Right Prime Minister Cao Wei is secretly happy.
"Jiejiejie..."
His twisted heart was laughing crazily: "Abominable Ninth Prince, abominable King of Huangzhou, abominable Old Nine, you finally died in Huangzhou!"
"You bad guy, just die!"
When he thinks of his two dead sons and a daughter who is a widow at home... Cao Wei's hatred for Xia is like the endless water of the Xia River, like the overflowing of the Xia River, which is out of control.
now.
When Cao Wei saw Emperor Xia's question, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zuo clearly knows that Daxia has no money and food to fight the war with the Sirius Empire, and still encourages your majesty to launch a national war. He simply wants to use this war to destroy the foundation of Daxia!"
"Your Majesty, I suspect that Prime Minister Zuo is a traitor to the Sirius Empire. Please remove him and send him to the Imperial City Prison. His accomplices will surely be found out!"
Sima Jian looked disdainful!
This Cao Wei and that Li Jian are really more and more similar.
As expected, those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black!
Emperor Xia frowned: "Right Prime Minister, do you have any good ideas?"
Old God Cao Wei said: "Marriage!"
"Marriage?"
"yes!"
"They summoned the Heavenly Wolf envoy and used me to go to the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom to make peace with the princess. They asked to sign a friendly alliance with the Heavenly Wolf Empire and let them return to the Barren State. In this way, the crisis in the Barren State can be relieved, and the crisis in the Qingzhou can be relieved!"
"If the Sirius Empire is still not satisfied, no matter what, we can just give them some money in exchange for returning to Huangzhou!"
"Anyway, with this year's snowstorm, life on the grassland will not be easy for them!"
"Hahaha......"
Sima Jian sneered: "Cao Cao, you are trying to make the Great Xia Empire a joke on the mainland!"
"If we make peace, will the other countries in the mainland think that we are weak and can be bullied?"
"The disaster in Daxia this year is serious, and we are already short of money and food. If the lions of the Wolf Empire open their mouths, where will we raise money and food?"
Cao Wei said proudly: "Old thief Sima, you are indeed a mediocre person. You can't even think of a simple way to increase taxes!"
"Tax increase?"
"right!"
"The imperial court can collect taxes from each state for ten years in advance to redeem the barren states!"
Sima Jian was furious: "Thief Cao, you are trying to undermine my Daxia Empire, for fear that our Daxia Empire will not fall!"
"The current taxes are already heavy enough. Many people have lost their families just to pay the taxes. If we impose heavy taxes again, everyone in the world will rebel!"
"And as you said, if taxes are collected in advance, what expenses will the court have next year?"
Cao Wei raised his eyelids: "Let's talk about next year's affairs next year!"
Emperor Xia sat back on the dragon throne slumped: "That's enough!"
"I have made up my mind. Let's do what Prime Minister You said about the marriage!"
"However, we will discuss the taxation later!"
"Right Prime Minister, I don't have a suitable princess to marry, what do you think should be done?"
There was a hint of viciousness in the corner of Cao Wei's mouth, and he looked at Sima Jian and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Sima Mei, the legitimate daughter of the Sima family, is very beautiful and beautiful. She is also the daughter of Prime Minister Zuo. Your Majesty can adopt her as your adopted daughter for marriage. She is the best choice. but."
Sima Jian was furious: "No!"
Emperor Xia raised his eyelids: "Then it's settled!"
"Right Prime Minister, please contact the envoys of the Sirius Kingdom immediately and test them with the marriage proposal!"
"yes!"
Cao Wei looked proud!
The corner of Sima Jian's mouth also evoked a hint of mystery.
If Mei'er is really taken away for marriage, what will the Holy King of Huangzhou do?
He is really curious!
