Daughter of the prosperous age: Don't pretend to be stupid

Chapter 255 Happy Opening (6)

"Prime Minister Liu, you have always been my right-hand man, and I know your abilities very well." The emperor stared at Prime Minister Liu with a dark expression for a while, and then opened his mouth.It's just that the tone is a little unclear.

Prime Minister Liu knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The people in Subei rioted, which is not what I want. But no matter what, I do have the suspicion of dereliction of duty. Please punish the emperor!"

The emperor snorted coldly: "You really should be punished! The people you sent out never reached Subei, and you don't know anything about it!"

Prime Minister Liu lay motionless on the ground, "I'm guilty! You deserve to die!"

Prince Rong looked at Prime Minister Liu, with a glint of coldness in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the emperor say, "Even if we are going to die, we have to wait until this matter is resolved. Tell me, what do you think about this matter?"

When Prime Minister Liu heard the words, he raised his head slightly, looked up at the emperor, and said with a firm attitude, "Beijiang is so bold that he dared to take advantage of the fire to loot and seize my holy city. This matter will never be tolerated! The emperor should send a large army to attack Beijiang and let them know I, Sheng Qi, are definitely not so easy to bully!"

"Prince Rong, what do you think?" The emperor looked at Prince Rong and asked.

"I think that the city that belongs to me must be returned, but it is not suitable to use force now." Prince Rong said with a slight bow.

"Northern Xinjiang has bullied us. If we don't start a war, don't they think we are easy to bully?"

"That's right, if they don't go to war, wouldn't they be able to gain an inch and look forward to Shu?" Several people from Prime Minister Liu's faction retorted with a single glance.

Feng Tianyang stepped forward slightly: "Uncle Huang is right, we are really not suitable for war now. From the beginning of the year to now, we have not had a drop of rain here, and this year's wheat seems to be fruitless. If there is another war, the common people I'm afraid there will be complaints."

As soon as Feng Tianyang said this, everyone knew that Feng Tianyang was standing in Prince Rong's team.

"Fifth Brother, what do you mean, if we keep our heads down and keep silent, the common people will be happy?" Feng Tianxiao, who had been silent all this time, stood up after hearing this.

"Not fighting doesn't mean staying silent." Feng Tianyang looked at Feng Tianxiao with a gloomy face.Recently, Feng Tianxiao ran to the prime minister's mansion very diligently. It seemed that not only did he and Prime Minister Liu become a family, but they even united the front on the issue of whether to fight or not.

"Yurong, what do you think about this?" The emperor aimed at Feng Yurong who had been silent all this time.

Feng Yurong commanded an army of 30 in the Nanshan Camp, his words had a great influence on the emperor, so Prime Minister Liu and the others also turned to look at Feng Yurong.

Feng Yurong's calm eyes glanced over the emperor and Liu Cheng and others, and landed on the Hubu Shangshu: "Your Majesty should ask Mr. Zhu about this matter."

The people present were taken aback when they heard the words, then they all glanced at Feng Yurong in admiration, and then collectively turned their gazes to Hubu Shangshu Zhu Zhen.

The Ministry of Households is in charge of the national treasury and controls the financial power of the whole country. If there is a war, the Ministry of Households must provide enough silver to ensure military supplies.

Feng Yurong's meaning is very simple, fight if you have money, and pull down if you don't have money.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhu Zhen, Minister of the Household Department, took a step forward and said: "Young Lord Rong's words are different. Although the national treasury is still full, but under the circumstances of not knowing the number of troops and the duration of the war, the veteran still has no right to speak." .”

"Is 20 troops enough to start a war against the small northern border?" said a civil servant over [-] years old.

Someone next to him said: "20 is too much, I think [-] troops are enough to level the northern border."
