The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 381

[Chapter 381 Battle!]

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

The quiet atmosphere lasted for about half a stick of incense. Emperor Chu raised his eyes, looked at Ma Wenhua, the Minister of War, and asked: “If the chieftain changes, how long will it take to put down the rebellion if the imperial army and the important towns are dispatched together.” What

Emperor Chu said Although he is a toast, everyone present knows very well who this toast refers to.

When

Ma Wenhua heard the Chu Emperor’s question, he stood up from his chair, stood upright, and saluted: “Your Majesty, if there is help from Heaven’s Punishment, Master Wang can be the chieftain of Nanding within a month!”

The sonorous and powerful sound made everyone present inexplicably feel a sense of trust.

After hearing this, Emperor Chu also showed a faint smile, looked at Ma Wenhua, and said, “In this case, the Ministry of War must make preparations in advance to prevent another accident in the southwest.”

“I obey the order!”

It has to be said that as the number one in the Chu Kingdom As a minister of the Ministry of War who was born in the frontier, Ma Wenhua has an iron-blooded temperament in his body.

Looking at him always makes people feel like there is a high wall in front of them, and they feel an incomparable sense of security.

Even Fang Xiu had to admit that Ma Wenhua at this time had a different kind of charm.

Of course, it could also be said to be temperament.

Moreover, everyone here knows what kind of person Ma Wenhua is.

His background on the frontier gave him a control over matters such as the confrontation between the two armies that previous ministers of the Ministry of War did not have.

For such a person, his words are never without purpose.

Since he said that if the pro-army and the important towns set out together, the southwest can be pacified within a month, then it is nine out of ten that this is indeed the case.

Therefore, both Emperor Chu and several cabinet elders secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Emperor of Chu looked at the other two important ministers, the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of Industry.

Seeing Emperor Chu’s eyes turning towards him, the two ministers who were over fifty years old all scurried like rabbits.

“The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first. Although I am a civil servant, I also know this truth. If there is a change in the southwest, I will go all out to ensure that the expedition can go south smoothly and flatten the southwest!”

In this warm pavilion !

, the most powerful people in Chu State have now determined that something will happen in the southwest.

Not only because of Fang Xiu’s speculation, but also because of their many years of experience in officialdom.

After several generations of Dukes of Guizhou, they were no longer as united as the first generation of Dukes of Guizhou.

Matters in the Southwest must be explained sooner or later.

Neither tigers nor brown bears will let others pull out their teeth and claws.

What’s more, the Duke of Guizhou’s mansion is not just a tiger and a brown bear…

In other words, there must be a battle between the imperial court and the Duke of Guizhou!

This time, Yang Zheng, the Minister of Rites, was not present, which shows the Emperor Chu’s attitude towards the movements of the Begging Department.

Everyone present knew in their hearts that no one could stop Emperor Chu this time.

The matter of the Begging Department is of great concern, and according to common sense, it should be discussed together with all the civil and military officials in the court.

However, the Emperor of Chu only summoned a few cabinet elders and three ministers. In addition, there was Fang Xiu, the author of the policy treatise.

Of course, these few are all pillars of the imperial court. It can even be said that the few here represent the entire imperial court.

Even so, it still shows the determination of Emperor Chu to eliminate the worries of the grassland in the north!

None of the old men present were extremely shrewd. They could see the current situation clearly than anyone else.

For the Chu State, the current situation can be summarized in one sentence: The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop. It can also be combined with another sentence: Sail against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat!

It’s not the Emperor of Chu who wants to fight, nor these important court officials, but the Qiyan tribe who wants to fight!

All grassland tribes, no matter who is powerful, have a common goal, which is to invade the borders of Da Chu, rush into the rich land here, rob grain, rob cloth, rob tea horses, and rob everything that can be taken away.

All the emperors of the Chu Kingdom kept this in mind and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

However, except for the great ancestor of the Chu State who once rode north to the grassland, even the most powerful generation only made the grassland tribes dare not have the intention of invading, and never completely solved this worry.

The grassland tribes are still eyeing the rich land of Chu State.

The people of Chu State, especially those in the four northern states, still live in the shadow of the grassland tribes.

Even though the imperial court set up five important towns in the four northern states, there was still no way to completely protect the safety of these people.

As long as there are people living outside the city, they may be invaded by those grassland bandits.

Only when the imperial court pulls out the teeth of these wild prairie wolves and cuts off their sharp claws, and scares away the so-called natural warriors on the grasslands, can it be possible to give the people of the four northern states a stable life.

Only then will the entire Chu State become more prosperous and prosperous, and only then can the country be rich and the people be safe!

This was the dream of the Emperor of Chu, and also the dream of all the emperors of the Chu Kingdom.

Nowadays, the Qiyan tribe is gradually growing stronger, its strength is expanding rapidly, and it is almost ready to dominate the grassland.

Anyone, as long as they are not too stupid, can see the ambition of the Qiyan Department.

This time the Qiyan tribe went north to attack other tribes, which was Chu’s best and last chance.

Not only must we fight, but we must win!

Emperor Chu stood up from the dragon chair, looking at everyone in Nuan Pavilion with sharp eyes.

It seems that… I want to say something.

However, after a moment of silence, everyone in Nuan Pavilion still did not wait for the impassioned and generous words they imagined.

Emperor Chu just said in a deep tone as usual: “You are all the pillars of the imperial court, and I trust you.

I will discuss today’s matters with all the civil and military officials at the court tomorrow morning. After you return home, , get ready early.

Let’s all…go away.”

These words were not so generous or contagious, they were just a few words.

However, these simple words fell into the hearts of several veterans, but they were so touching.

I trust you… these four words are worth everything.

Several old ministers bowed deeply and said with trembling voices: “I will definitely devote myself to death until I die.”

What a touching scene, if it weren’t for Fang Xiu who was a little confused next to him.

Several veterans left, and Fang Xiu also wanted to leave with them.

Unfortunately, before he could take a few steps out of the Nuan Pavilion, he was stopped by someone.

Looking back, I saw it was the eunuch Liu Cheng.

“Xin Amber, please stay, His Majesty wants to see you.”

See me?

Fang Xiu was slightly startled. Didn’t he just meet him?

Of course, I only dare to think about this in my heart. Emperor Chu wants to see him, and he has no possibility of escaping.

“Excuse me, Eunuch Liu.”

Fang Xiu looked at Liu Cheng and said.

Upon seeing this, Liu Cheng hurriedly said: “No trouble, no trouble…”

This gesture seemed as if he was not facing a little earl like Fang Xiu, but two princes.
