I really didn't want to be emperor

After the banquet.

The envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty left the palace with a shocked mood. The big melons in winter were sweet and delicious, and the land of Xia was amazing.

Outside the palace wall, a Southern Tang envoy whispered: "Master Li, just how did Xia Guo grow the watermelon at the banquet? How can it be planted in the deep winter when the weather is freezing and everything is withered. fruit?"

Li Chun looked blank, "The official is also puzzled. If I didn't enter the summer in person, I really can't believe it. The rumored Xia country is already dying. In fact, it is extremely powerful and terrifying."

Speaking of this, he paused, and continued: "You should have heard that on the northern battlefield, the Xia Army’s weapons are sharper than the Northern Qin’s weapons. For so many years, the Northern Qin has been proud of their weapons forging. The technique is number one in the world, but Xia Guo surpassed the Northern Qin without showing the mountains or dew."

The envoy said: "Yes, King Xia Guo Xiaoyao feels unfathomable, as if everything in the world is under his control, no wonder he will be hailed as the most wise man in the world."

Li Chun said: "Some people are famous, but they are just imaginary, but Xiaoyao King Xia has real materials. The watermelon we ate just now and other vegetables were all made by Xiaoyao King."

"You are the most noble prince of Xia Guo, but he loves agricultural planting. He is a true all-rounder. As far as I know, the Jubao Chamber of Commerce that we work with is actually controlled by the King Xiaoyao behind him."

The envoy said again: "Master Li, Xiaoyao is so good, isn't Xia Huang worried?"

Li Chun said, "This is the reason why Xia Guo is strong. It is rumored that Emperor Xia is suspicious and likes to be jealous, but he believes in the crown prince and Xiaoyao Wang, and the father and son are of the same mind.

"The rumors are not groundless, but they are by no means all true. This summer, let me understand what a real big country is. The establishment of a good relationship with Xia Guo will definitely benefit Nantang without any harm."

The envoy nodded, "If we can get Xia Guo's weapons this time, we won't have to fear Nan Liang's attack again."

Li Chun said: "Yes, first go back to the post and pass the news to the emperor. With the assistance of Xia Jun, the battle between the border and Nanliang will surely be easily won."

the other side.

Inside the Hall of Heroes.

Xia Huang looked at Ye Jun and said, "Jun'er, the watermelons are ripe, then the sweet potatoes you mentioned are going to be ripe too."

Ye Jun nodded, "It's coming soon, and the sweet potatoes will be ripe in a month and a half. When the time comes, my father can visit Xishan to see what the sweet potatoes with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu look like."

Xia Huang Longyan Dayue, continued: "Jun'er, since Xia has sweet potatoes and potatoes, is it too little for the five million shi from Nantang?"

Ye Jundao: "Father, five million shi every year can solve some of the problem of the army's food and grass. In addition, sweet potatoes and potatoes have not been promoted to the whole people, so we still need these five million shi."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "Father, establish good relations with Nantang. We did not spend five million shi for food. The real purpose of Nantang is to help us contain Nanliang."

"The Southern Liang and the Northern Qin have always been closely related. If Xia and Northern Qin go to war, the Southern Liang army will definitely help the Northern Qin, and then the Southern Tang will have an effect."

Emperor Xia nodded in satisfaction, and smiled: "It's your kid who is foresight, since Nan Liang has been counted."

Ye Jun said again: "That said, the weapons we gave to Nantang must be one level lower than the weapons used by Xia Guo. We can help Nan Tang become stronger, but we cannot let him threaten Xia Guo."

Xia Huangdao: "What you said is very reasonable. After all, Nan Tang is just a small country in front of Xia. They can depend on Xia, but they must not threaten Xia."

"Jun'er, I will leave the forging and preparation of weapons to you. If you have any needs, please speak to me."

Ye Jun gave a fist, "Erchen understands."

Xia Huang said again: "Jun'er, who do you think is more appropriate to let go to Nantang?"

Ye Jun thought for a moment, "Father, the northern summer generals are brave, but this time the minister recommended Yuwen Chengdu and Xin Qiji to go."

Xia Huang frowned slightly, and said, "Why recommend them to go there? What is the reason?"

The prince also set his sights on Ye Jun. According to his understanding, there are Yuwen Chengdu, Li Cunxiao, Ma Chao, and Dianwei in the northern border. They are all powerful generals in the army. Only Xin Qiji is a scholar general.

The purpose of Xia Jun's journey to Nantang was to deter and defeat the Nanliang army, so that the effect of the Meng Generals should be better.

Ye Jun slowly said, "Father, Brother Huang, why did Xia Jun go to Southern Tang Dynasty?"

Xia Huangdao: "Defeat the Nanliang army and help Nantang regain lost ground."

The prince echoed: "Shock the southern Liang army."

Ye Jun nodded, "Father, brother, Xia Jun entered the Southern Tang, in addition to defeating Liang Jun and deterring Liang Jun, there is also the purpose of deterring Nan Tang."

"So it is enough to send Yuwen to Chengdu to lead a large army. As for Xin Qiji to go, his role is to record everything about the Southern Tang, including the city's defenses and the distribution of soldiers and horses."

"Knowing ourselves and knowing the enemy can survive all battles. We are helping Nan Tang to attack Liang Kingdom, but we also have to prepare for the future of Xia Jun. There are no friends in the world. If one day Nan Tang breaks with Xia, we can control everything about them in the shortest time. Nantang was destroyed within."

Xia Huang: ".........."

Prince: "............"

To plan ahead, this is too long-term consideration.

Ye Jun noticed the eyes of the two, and paused, "Father, Brother Huang, what's the problem?"

Xia Huang was startled slightly, "According to your recommendation, I will decreed that the second general will lead his army to the Southern Tang Dynasty."

..........

After leaving the Hall of Heroes.

Ye Jun took Luo Shixin and walked outside the palace. As he walked forward, the prince's voice came from behind, "Lao San, wait for the loneliness."

The prince stepped forward and came to Ye Jun's side, "Lao San, is there any watermelon?"

Ye Jun squinted his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "Brother Emperor, didn't Shixin send you to the Eastern Palace?"

The prince smiled and said, "That lonely wish to send You Ran something over."

Ye Jundao: "Yes, there are, but I want to remind the emperor to not be too addicted to female sex."

"I found out that the emperor's brother was empty during this period of time. After only running a few steps, I was out of breath."

The prince was surprised: "Are you lonely?"

Ye Jun nodded, "It's a bit vain, brother emperor, women can make men stiff, and they can also soften men. It has only been a few months since brother emperor has lost his former glory.

"No matter how good life is, we must know how to control."

The prince said: "I didn't do anything alone, why is it empty?"

Ye Jun said again: "Brother Emperor, there is no bad land, only exhausted cows, but Brother Emperor didn't do anything, so it was just like this. Is there a physical problem?"

The prince sullenly said: "I'm in good health. You don't want to talk to me about these useless things, just say whether you can give me watermelon."

Ye Jun smiled and said, "Yes, of course. Tomorrow Brother Emperor will come to Xishan."
