My wife is number one in the world

"Uncle, Dingbang, do you two have anything else to say about the Persian king?"

Zhang Kuang and Duan Dingbang heard Young Master Liu's question and looked at each other.

When the two saw that the other had no intention of speaking, they both bowed to Young Master Liu.

"Your Majesty, I am no longer an old minister."

"Your Majesty, I am the same."

Liu Mingzhi heard the two people's answers one after another, smiled faintly, picked up the handkerchief on the table and gently wiped his hands twice.

Then, he reached out and picked up the jade fan with a pattern of vast rivers and mountains on the corner of the table and gently swung it, fanning the cool breeze while glancing at Zhang Kuang and the other man with a smile.

"I think there should still be some."

As soon as Young Master Liu said this, the expressions on the faces of Zhang Kuang and Duan Dingbang, one old and one young, could not help but be stunned for a moment.

"Ah? Your Majesty, this? This?"

"Ah? What? There should still be some?"

Seeing the stunned looks on Zhang Kuang and Duan Dingbang's faces, Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chizha, Huyan Yu and others all looked at Young Master Liu with puzzled expressions.

Qi Yun, the Third Princess, the Queen, Wenren Yunshu, Ren Qingrui and other beauties, as well as the little cutie who was half-sitting on the armrest of the chair, turned their gazes to Young Master Liu with slightly confused expressions.

Those who were standing nearby heard clearly what Zhang Kuang and Duan Dingbang had said before.

Especially the words that Duan Dingbang answered, which explained all the causes and consequences, can be said to be a very complete account.

Therefore, whether it is Qi Yun, the third princess, Qinglian and her sisters, or the little cutie, or Nangong Ye, Yun Chong and his generals,

At this moment, none of them could figure out what Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye could say next.

Zhang Kuang raised his hand and gently stroked the gray beard on his chin. After thinking hard for a moment with a frown on his brows, he bowed to Young Master Liu with a helpless look on his old face.

“Your Majesty, this old minister is stupid.

I thought about it again and again, but I couldn't think of anything else to say."

Seeing Zhang Kuang's helpless expression, Liu Mingzhi smiled faintly, raised his eyebrows twice, and glanced sideways at Duan Dingbang who was still in deep thought across from him.

Seeing this, Zhang Kuang subconsciously followed Young Master Liu's gaze and turned to look at Duan Dingbang.

Suddenly.

Duan Dingbang seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked towards Young Master Liu.

"Your Majesty, what, what.

The issue you want to talk about is not the refugees and displaced persons among the rebels in Persia, right? "

Hearing Duan Dingbang's slightly hesitant and uncertain tone, Young Master Liu immediately nodded happily and chuckled a few times.

"Ha ha ha ha ha.

Dingbang, you guessed it right, this is exactly the question I want to ask.

Judging from what you and Zhang Shuai said about the Persian King Upper Arces Kedelin, he is now a promising monarch with great ambitions.

This is where the problem comes in.

Dingbang, you told me before that among the 150,000 rebel troops, about 60,000 to 70,000 troops were made up of refugees and displaced persons.

  If the king of Persia was really a capable and ambitious ruler, then where did so many refugees and displaced persons come from in Persia?

In particular, those refugees and displaced persons actually followed the rebel leaders and committed acts of rebellion.

If it were just the rebels rebelling, it wouldn't be a big problem, after all, there are various reasons for rebels to rebel.

But if even refugees and displaced persons join in the rebellion, that would be a little unreasonable, right?"

As Young Master Liu finished speaking with a hint of confusion, Qi Yun, the third princess, the little cutie, Nangong Ye, Wanyan Chizha, Cheng Kai and the others all showed a look of understanding in their eyes.

Yes, this is indeed a problem.

It would still be understandable if the rebels just rebelled with their slave soldiers.

However, when refugees and displaced persons actually joined the rebels in rebellion, it is worth pondering.

Duan Dingbang looked at the slightly puzzled expression on Young Master Liu's face and cupped his hands with a smile.

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood.

In fact, the refugees and displaced persons among the rebels were not from Persia, but from Frank, Prussia, the White Caliphate and other countries. "

After listening to Duan Dingbang's explanation, Young Master Liu couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"What? Are those displaced persons and refugees from other Western countries?"

Qi Yun, Qi Ya, Yun Xiaoxi, Xiaokeai, Song Qing, Zhang Kuang and the others were looking at Duan Dingbang, and a hint of surprise flashed across their eyes for a moment.

"Your Majesty, that's exactly it.

Those displaced persons and refugees have gradually flowed into Persia from Western countries in the past two years.

Later, some of the refugees and displaced persons were recruited by the rebel generals with food in order to make a living. "

Liu Mingzhi paused slightly as he gently waved the jade fan with a picture of a vast landscape, and frowned slightly as he looked at Duan Dingbang, who had a slightly sad expression.

"So that's how it is. So, is the situation in the Kingdom of Frank and Prussia very bad right now?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to what we have learned from the captives.

In recent years, there have been constant disputes and wars between the Franks, Prussia, and the White Caliphate.

The people in the border cities of these countries suffered greatly from the war and were eventually forced to leave their homes and go to other places to seek a way to survive. "

After hearing what Duan Dingbang said, Young Master Liu nodded with an understanding look on his face, and immediately turned to look at Zhang Kuang.

"I remember now, uncle, we have discussed this topic before.

At that time, you also carefully analyzed the current situation between those countries with me, Young Master."

"Your Majesty, we did discuss this topic before."

Liu Mingzhi let out a light sigh, stood up from the chair, frowned slightly, and walked slowly, gently waving the jade fan in his hand.

“At the beginning, when I heard you talk about these issues, I thought the situation between those countries was a little bit chaotic!

Now it seems that I have underestimated the chaos between those countries!"

After Young Master Liu sighed aloud for a moment, he raised his head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds in front of him. He narrowed his eyes slightly and began to ponder in secret as if he was thinking about something.

After a long time.

Young Master Liu retracted his gaze and glanced at the dozens of generals on his left and right with a faint smile.

"Dingbang, let's stop here for now regarding Gonglu, Ziqing, and Yunhao's expedition to help Persia quell the rebellion.

If I have anything else to do later, I will come to you again."

Upon hearing this, Duan Dingbang, Ge Gonglu and others immediately stood up from their chairs and saluted to Young Master Liu in unison.

"Yes, I understand."

Young Master Liu smiled faintly and nodded, then turned his head slightly to look at Zhang Kuang.

"Uncle, it's getting late. It's time for lunch. Have you arranged a banquet in advance?"

Zhang Kuang nodded cheerfully, stood up and gave Young Master Liu a fist bump. "Your Majesty, I and others have already asked the kitchen to prepare a banquet early in the morning."

After hearing Zhang Kuang's answer, Young Master Liu let out a long sigh with a smile on his face.

"Phew! Very good, very good!"

"Willow Pine."

"The little one is here."

Liu Mingzhi turned slightly, chuckled, raised his hand and pointed at the tables and chairs around him.

"Master, let's go to the main hall of the palace first. There are tables, chairs, fruit plates, drinks and other things here. You and Du Yu, Ming Feng, Jing Hui and the others should clean them up together."

"Yes, I understand."

Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, flicked a few melon seed shells on his lapel with his fingers, then waved to the group of people around him with a smile.

"Yun'er, Yan'er, Yue'er, and all my beloved ministers.

Come on, it's almost time, let's go to the main hall first."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun, the Third Princess, Qi Ya and the other sisters stood up from their chairs gracefully, responding to Young Master Liu's words in their tender voices.

"Hey, it's coming, it's coming."

"Yeah, here we come."

The little cutie casually clapped her delicate hands twice and walked towards Young Master Liu with a beautiful smile.

"Hey, I see."

Upon seeing this, Song Qing, Zhang Kuang, Nangong Ye, Duan Dingbang and others tacitly made way for Young Master Liu, Qi Yun and their group.

"Your Majesty, please go first."

"Your Highness, the Queen, all the ladies, Your Highness, please come first."

Liu Mingzhi smiled and nodded to all the generals, gently waving the jade fan with a picture of the vast landscape in his hand, and walked forward first.

Seeing that their husbands had already set off, Qi Yun, the third princess, Qinglian, Murong Shan, Ling Weier, Huang Lingyi and the other sisters immediately followed with light steps.

As for Ren Qingrui, Gumo Lanya, and Xiaokeai, the three of them naturally gathered together and silently followed Qi Yun and her sisters.

Soon, Song Qing, Zhang Kuang and other generals followed in an orderly manner.

After Young Master Liu, Qi Yun, Song Qing and the others walked to a distance of twenty or thirty steps away, Liu Song immediately called on the Du Yu brothers to start packing up the tables and chairs outside the palace gate and the various things on the tables.

After Young Master Liu turned a corner with steady and powerful steps, he suddenly thought of something and immediately turned around to look at Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye who were following behind him.

"Two uncles."

Upon hearing the voice, Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye quickly quickened their pace and chased after Young Master Liu.

"Is the old minister here, Your Majesty?"

"I am here, Your Majesty, what do you want?"

Liu Mingzhi looked at Zhang Kuang and the other man who had caught up with him, casually closed the jade fan in his hand, and then gently tapped it in the palm of his hand with the fan ribs.

"Uncles, is there enough wine in the palace?"

After hearing Young Master Liu's question, Zhang Kuang and the other two immediately understood the purpose of Young Master Liu's asking this question.

Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye looked at each other, and finally Zhang Kuang bowed to Young Master Liu.

"Your Majesty, do you want to reward the soldiers of the Second Western Expedition Army stationed outside the city?"

Seeing that Zhang Kuang and the other man had guessed what he was thinking at once, Young Master Liu nodded with a smile.

"Haha, hahaha.

That’s right, this is exactly what I meant.

My two uncles, the soldiers of the second Western Expedition have returned. Thank you for your hard work along the way.

We, Dingbang, Gonglu, Yunhao and others have fine wine and delicious food in the palace, we can't let the soldiers stationed outside the city not even have a sip of wine, right?"

"Your Majesty loves his soldiers like his own sons. This is truly a blessing for us and the officers and men of all armies!"

"Hahaha, I second the motion!"

Listening to Zhang Kuang and the other's compliments, Young Master Liu rolled his eyes in displeasure.

"Alright, alright, you two old bastards, stop flattering me and just tell me whether the wine and drinks in the palace are enough to reward the soldiers outside."

“Your Majesty, there is an army of more than 40,000 soldiers stationed outside the city!

The amount of wine and drinks in the palace can only reward thousands of soldiers at best.

However, the two old ministers could immediately order people to go to various restaurants, taverns, inns, and shops in the city to buy large quantities of alcohol.

According to the current time, it shouldn't be a problem to get the soldiers outside the city some drinks before the sun sets."

Liu Mingzhi smiled faintly and nodded, then stretched his arms and moved his body back and forth.

"In that case, go and make arrangements.

Try to let all the soldiers drink a reward of wine at dinner, even if it's just one sip of wine!"

"Yes, I obey my orders."

Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye respectfully bowed to Young Master Liu, then immediately turned around and walked towards the soldiers on duty a few steps away.

Half a day later.

In the main hall of the palace, laughter echoed one after another.

"Your Majesty, we are waiting to toast you."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Drink it together, drink it together. "

Time passed quietly and silently, and the sun in the clear blue sky was moving westward.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

A banquet that was not a welcoming banquet began to end amid laughter and joy.

Supported by Qi Yun and the three princesses' sisters, Liu Mingzhi hurried towards his family's residence with slightly unsteady steps.

About half a cup of tea passed.

Young Master Liu and his family returned to the courtyard where they lived, talking and laughing.

"Husband, have a cup of warm tea."

Outside the main door of the courtyard, Young Master Liu, who was already about 70% drunk, took the tea handed to him by Qi Yun with a faint smile.

"OK, all right."

After drinking half a cup of warm tea, Young Master Liu exhaled the alcohol lightly, raised his head with a worried look towards the sky in the northeast direction.

"According to the time, we should have arrived, why is there no news yet?" (End of this chapter)
