travel through the past to be emperor

Chapter 70
There are not many words on the handkerchief, but the meaning is very simple. In short, the grassland is in chaos, and the tribal alliance headed by Moon City is madly attacking the Eagle Tribe.

As for why this information was written on a handkerchief, Zhao Fei didn't know about it.

But at the critical moment, the arrival of this information made Zhao Fei and the officials make the final decision.

When the officials stood up again, Zhao Fei said: "Now you have seen the information from the border. According to the previous plan, I am going to send troops, but how to send troops and how to send troops need everyone to come up with a plan."

"No!" All the ministers responded one after another. The news at this time made everyone very happy, and even Qin Hui, who had been keeping a straight face, smiled.

Zhao Fei nodded and said, "Now we still have a problem to solve immediately, and that is how to talk to Amit? What's your opinion?"

Qin Hui was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, since I have decided to send troops, but we still need to make a good deal with Amit. If we want us to send troops, naturally it cannot mean that we will not pay the price, and the rest will be paid." It’s just a matter of raising the price on the spot and paying back the money on the spot.”

"I seconded the words of Lord Xiangguo." Zhao Zilong, Minister of the Household Department, had been silent all this time, but he spoke at this time.

Zhao Fei glanced at Zhao Zilong, the Household Department is a very important department of the country, and Zhao Zilong, Minister of the Household Department, is regarded as a son of the clan. Naturally, he is loyal to the court and Zhao Fei. Naturally, he cannot be from Qinhui, so what he said at the moment must be reason.

"Zhao Aiqing seems to have something to say." Zhao Fei glanced at Zhao Zilong.

Zhao Zilong nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't say anything before, not for nothing, but because I really have nothing to say."

"Tell me carefully." Zhao Fei said.

"Your Majesty must also know that the funds of the Ministry of Finance have always been relatively tight." Zhao Zilong paused, and continued: "Your Majesty knows that I came from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I always look at money first when looking at problems. Just before, Your Majesty asked everyone to discuss sending troops. When it came to the matter, the ministers made some calculations, and the Ministry of Households could not support this war at all."

"The household department is out of money again?" Zhao Fei frowned.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am fighting on the two fronts now, and I want to help the victims in the north. The Ministry of Finance spends money like running water. If the imperial court started collecting donations now, the Ministry of Accounting would not be able to continue to operate. "Zhao Zilong said with a sad face: "My lords may or may not know that this war is always about fighting for money. Whoever has more money can last longer. Although the household department has some silver taels for the time being, it really doesn't capability to support an all-out war."

Zhao Zilong's words poured cold water on the crowd present, Qin Hui said with a wry smile: "I said before that I want to make a long-term plan, so I also consider his relationship with the household department."

When the two loyal ministers said this, Zhao Fei immediately became unhappy, and said dissatisfiedly: "What do those two adults mean?"

Qin Hui glanced at Zhao Zilong, Zhao Zilong thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, just like what Qin Xiangguo said, the relationship between us and Amit is to pay back the money on the spot."

"Tell me in detail." Zhao Fei said.

"Before we didn't have the confidence to raise prices on the ground, because we were not sure whether the plight of the Eagle Tribe that Amit said was true, but now that we are sure that the grasslands are in civil war, then even if we ask for prices, as long as they are within a controllable Within the range, the Eagle tribe represented by Amit needs to agree." Zhao Zilong said in a dark tone: "Who told us that if we don't send troops, their Eagle tribe will definitely perish?"

"So the cost of our dispatch of troops this time falls on Amit, Your Majesty." Qin Hui said slowly from the side.

Liu Yong also said at this time: "The cost of sending troops is naturally not enough, and the losses caused by their previous attack on Hangu Pass must also be included in the calculation."

"So they won't agree?" Zhao Fei frowned. Although he didn't know how much these guys were planning to cheat Amit, Zhao Fei knew that the number was definitely quite a lot, so one hundred thousand blankets was just a fraction .

"They are fish on the cutting board now, and they can only be manipulated by us." Qin Hui sneered.

"What if they go back on their word?" Zhao Fei asked.

Wang Qinian said leisurely: "If he repents, then our army will wait for him to lose and destroy his entire clan!"

As expected of Wang Qinian, who was born in the Ministry of Military Affairs, he is very domineering when he speaks. Zhao Fei is very satisfied. If he is disobedient, he will be killed. How good it is!

However, Wang Qinian's words inspired the ministers, and the ministers made suggestions one after another. The final result is that although we send troops, we may not necessarily do anything. If there is really a weak side, we will eat him directly!
Zhao Fei heard these ministers' tricks, and felt that he was too young!

Compared with these old foxes, I still need to strengthen my studies a lot!
After listening for a long time, Zhao Fei didn't bother to see Amit who was destined to be sold, so he ordered Lin Wanrong to send Amit to him. The negotiating team, determine the price for me to send troops to the court with Amit, and Liu Yong has other uses.

"Your Majesty, do you have any orders to call me here?" Liu Yong followed Zhao Fei into the upper study room and asked after standing still.

Zhao Fei picked up a book casually and said, "Do you want you to keep an eye on that Amit? I always feel that this prince is not that simple."

"Wei Chen also thinks this guy is not simple." Liu Yong nodded and said: "As far as I know, although the Eagle Tribe is powerful, the Caiyun Tribe and the Black Water Fish Tribe are not so simple, and just now they are above the court. It’s not surprising that Amit is the leader, but it’s extremely abnormal to say that the princes of the other two tribes look more like his followers.”

"So I want you to keep an eye on this guy, and don't let him do any tricks behind his back." Zhao Fei sneered and said, "I don't care what cards he has, but on my territory, even if he is a real dragon, he must Turn me into a loach!"

Looking at Zhao Fei, Liu Yong felt that the current Zhao Fei was more and more different from the previous Zhao Fei. Thinking of his comment that time, Liu Yong was very curious about what caused Zhao Fei to undergo such a major change.

However, he was only thinking about these things in his head, but he didn't dare to show it. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to my trust and keep a close eye on this Amit."

"That's good." Zhao Fei nodded, and said again: "This time I send troops to the grassland, I intend to let you join the army, I wonder if you are willing?"

Liu Yong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty ordered, I dare not refuse."

"Don't say that, it's as if I'm forcing you to go." Zhao Fei laughed and said, "Aside from you, the only ministers in the imperial court who understand the grasslands are Wang Qinian, but Wang Qinian is too old. I want to let him go. I guess If you can't reach Hangu Pass, you have to send it back, so..."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries for His Majesty!" Liu Yong knelt on the ground tactfully and expressed his determination to Zhao Fei without waiting for Zhao Fei to finish speaking.

For Liu Yong, what Zhao Fei is most satisfied with is that he is very knowledgeable and can always make the most correct choice at critical moments.

But the way of controlling people has never been only prestige, but also comfort.

Looking at Liu Yong with a flat face, Zhao Fei said: "Liu Yong, the Minister of the court, you are the one with the best brains. It doesn't mean that you are the smartest, but that you don't stick to one pattern and don't care about small details. This time I went to the grassland This is the first time in many years that I took the initiative to launch an attack on the grassland. Although we have made a lot of deployments, I believe that it is useless to do anything by relying on plans alone. For the complex and diverse situation, I must send a minister with flexible means to follow, Liu Yong, your ambition is to serve the country and the people, and I believe you are not willing to let these hundreds of thousands of troops die on the grassland because of accidents!"

"Your Majesty..." Liu Yong was immediately moved. Although the old man was often flattered in his life, being flattered and being flattered by the emperor are completely two concepts.

And the key point is that the emperor can speak, and every sentence speaks to Liu Yong's heart, which makes the old man moved immediately.

Zhao Fei stepped forward, patted Liu Yong on the shoulder fiercely, and said, "Liu Yong and Liu Aiqing, I entrust the future of these hundreds of thousands of troops to you."

Liu Yong immediately pushed the golden mountain and knocked down the jade pillar and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the old minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust!"

Here Zhao Fei shook his head and nodded at Liu Yong, while Qin Hui and the six ministers over there were calculating how much blood Amit should bleed, Amit was drinking tea with a relaxed expression.

"Your Highness, it's already this time, why do you still have time to drink tea?" Abdure from the Blackwater Fish Tribe walked around the room eagerly, and finally stopped in front of Amit and roared.

Abditi of the Caiyun Tribe grabbed Abdure and said, "Your Highness, Abdure is just a little impatient, please don't take offense!" Between the words, it seemed that he was extremely afraid of Amit.

Amit put down his teacup, glanced at Abditi and said, "Don't worry, I know Abdure very well, he is a man who can fight, and I won't blame him."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Abditi glanced at Amit gratefully, and then said doubtfully, "It's just Your Highness, why don't we wait here for the news now?"

"Then what else can we do?" Amit spread his hands.

"Should we send our men around to inquire about the news of the Song court?" Abditi suggested.

"No." Amit shook his head.

"Ah?" Abditi looked puzzled.

After looking at Abditi and Abdure, Amit sighed and explained: "We put such a large piece of bait in front of the imperial court, and the imperial court will definitely accept it. All we have to do now is sit on the ground and raise the price." Just pay back the money!"

"But don't let their lions open their mouths?" Abti asked.

"Otherwise?" Amit glanced sideways at Abditi, and said with a wry smile, "Now it's man for the knife and I for the fish!"
