Chapter 440 Chapter 441 Credentials of Western Shu
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the ministers were whispering and arguing.

Shen Weixun sat high on the dragon chair, watching the arguments of the ministers with a deep expression. He obviously didn't say anything, but the ministers quietly shut their mouths and looked frightened.

Now Shen Weixun has made his methods and ambitions known to the ministers.

To the people, courtiers and even the soldiers, Shen Weixun was undoubtedly only a qualified emperor. But after Shen Weixun ascended the throne, he also eliminated a lot of corrupt officials, and some even wanted to make small moves to attract courtiers. Now I am afraid that grass will grow on their graves.

Therefore, the courtiers respected, loved and feared the new emperor.

"Your Majesty! Now Beigui is looking at me with eager eyes. Although General Chen is good at fighting, if he really fights with Beigui without hesitation, I am afraid it will damage my Dongshan's vitality!" The Minister of Rites stood up and said.

Because the Minister of Rites was aware of current affairs, the last time his daughter dared to provoke Lin Jianyue, the Minister of Rites married his daughter out of Qingyang City, so he did not lose the emperor's heart.

"Oh? What do you propose?" Shen Weixun smiled half-heartedly, seemingly gentle, but no one among the courtiers dared to look down upon him.

"Now that Xishu is willing to join forces, this is a good thing. If Dongshan and Xishu join forces, they will definitely be able to stop Beigui for a hundred years!" The Minister of War also spoke.

"So, the ministers want the princess to go to Xishu for negotiation?" Shen Weixun said, with a dark look in his eyes.

Shen Weixun personally wrote his credentials, hoping that he and Xi Shu could jointly resist returning to the north.

The new emperor from Xishu also came with his credentials and was willing to discuss it in detail. He just hoped that the person sent by Dongshan to discuss it in detail this time was Princess Jianyue.

These words made Shen Weixun furious.

He didn't understand what Xi Shu's plan was, but if he let Lin Jian Yue go to Xi Shu, there would be danger. Shen Weixun didn't want Lin Jian Yue to be in any danger.

"Your Majesty, the princess is as smart as a man. If a princess leads a delegation to Xishu this time, I believe that Xishu and Dongshan can join forces! Please give me your permission!"

"Your Majesty, please give me permission!"

All the ministers cheered and knelt down, begging His Majesty to issue an order.

But Shen Weixun smiled angrily, "Do you know that the princess is my fiancée and the future mother of the country? The queen of the middle palace? You let the mother of a country go to other countries to take risks? Is it possible that there is no one who can use me in Dongshan? Is it possible? The princess needs to come forward in person for everything, how can you have the dignity to say this!"

These words made all the ministers lower their heads, feeling that their faces were dull.

"Your Majesty! The ministers are incompetent, but this matter is related to the national destiny of Dongshan. The princess is a person of righteousness and will understand your majesty's painstaking efforts!" At this time, some courtiers stood up and continued.

In this matter, the courtiers all had the same idea, which was to let Princess Jianyue lead the delegation to Xishu to discuss state affairs.

Originally, all the ministers thought that His Majesty would definitely agree. After all, His Majesty always puts state affairs first.

But unexpectedly, His Majesty was unwilling to let go this time.

"I will not let the princess take risks!" After Shen Weixun finished speaking, he had already stood up and left the throne, showing that he was very angry.

This was the first time that His Majesty went to court before the time came. The courtiers were still kneeling on the spot. At this time, they slowly stood up and looked at each other.

"What should we do? Your Majesty is determined not to let the princess go!" the courtiers discussed in low voices.

"Your Majesty loves the princess. For the sake of the princess, you don't even have a concubine by your side now. Naturally, you don't want the princess to take risks!" "The princess has always been sensible. I think you can understand and send someone to report today's affairs to the court as soon as possible. Get it into the mouth of the princess!" A veteran of the Three Dynasties ordered, stroking his beard.

When everyone heard this, they nodded.

Over there, Lin Jianyue did know the news in the court very quickly, but before Lin Jianyue could speak, Cheng Yu stopped him.

"Cousin, the meaning of Xi Shu's move is unclear. When the two countries discuss state affairs, usually the envoys are either princes or important ministers. How can a woman, the future mother of the country, be allowed to take on this important responsibility!" Cheng Yu frowned, with worry in his expression, "If my cousin rashly Go to Xishu, if Xishu does anything sinister, it will harm your cousin! Your Majesty will surely support you, so just don’t pay attention to it!"

Although Cheng Yu is a businessman, he also cares about the people, but he cares more about his family than the people.

Lin Jianyue was silent. She herself felt that Xi Shu's proposal was unusual.

But did she really just sit back and ignore it? Originally, Lin Jianyue thought she could do it. She was just a woman, not a savior.

But on the second day, the ministers were arguing in the Taihe Hall again, because the war broke out again on the border. They originally thought that General Chen's victory last time would be settled for a few months.

But he didn't expect that Beigui would make a comeback so soon. He even had enough weapons and food prepared. He was preparing for a protracted war with Dongshan.

Compared with Beigui's preparedness, Dongshan's side is much weaker. If it weren't for Chen Jingchi's skill in using troops and the soldiers' bravery and skill in fighting, Beigui's side would have broken through the defense line long ago.

However, even if the soldiers guard the border, the situation is not optimistic.

Shen Weixun's eyes were vague, but if you look carefully, you can see the anger in his eyes.

"Your Majesty!" At this moment, Eunuch Zhuo came to His Majesty's side and whispered something softly into His Majesty's ear. Shen Weixun, who had always looked calm, now had obvious panic in his eyes.

The courtiers all stopped arguing and looked at the emperor in high position, wondering what could make the emperor lose his composure.

"Why is she here?" Shen Weixun asked in a low voice.

"This old slave doesn't know that the princess is waiting outside the palace now!" Eunuch Zhuo said softly.

Shen Weixun felt a headache. These days, he deliberately did not see Lin Jianyue because he was afraid that Lin Jianyue would know about this and that Lin Jianyue would put himself in danger.

But Shen Weixun forgot that if he didn't tell Lin Jianyue, he knew a lot of tricks.

Now that people have arrived, Shen Weixun can only nod. If he does not announce it, when Lin Jianyue breaks into the palace, the courtiers will not know what to say.

"Xuan, Princess!" Following Eunuch Zhuo's voice, the courtiers all widened their eyes.

You must know that the Hall of Supreme Harmony has always been an important place for courtiers to discuss matters. Wherever women can set foot, not even the future mother of the country can enter.

However, thinking of what the princess had done for Dongshan and the sacrifices she had made for the soldiers, although the courtiers felt it was inappropriate, they did not stop them. After all, they still expected the princess to go to Xishu this time.

A slender figure slowly stepped into the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Even though the hall was full of courtiers and men, there was no hesitation or timidity in her steps.

Her brows were as clear as the morning dew at dawn, and her lips seemed to contain a hint of tenderness, like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.
