Chapter 114: The sin of dividing flesh and blood, the minister dare not speak falsely

In the south of the Great Yan Dynasty, there was another country that was not small, the Yue Kingdom.

Compared with the country, there are other small countries around it, and it is not very rich and powerful, because most of the land in this country is dense mountains and forests, which is not suitable for farming and grazing, so the people of this country can only hunt and supplement with silkworms to make a living.

However, compared to their poverty and weakness, the Great Yan Dynasty, which was vast and rich in products, became fat in their eyes, and from time to time crossed the border to plunder.

The most plundered is actually the people and food, after all, their country is not self-sufficient at all.

Compared with the fierce country in the north, which has been pressed by large armies several times, such a move of the Yue country is just like a child holding a branch to tickle people, although it is uncomfortable, but there is no way to fight it, because its land is full of mountains and forests, once the Great Yan sends troops, it is easy to be trapped by the harsh geographical environment and return in vain.

There have been a few such lessons before.

As soon as Zhu Feng heard Yue Guo, the fire in his heart burned: "What are they doing again?" ”

Jian Ruocheng said: "They crossed the border, burned half of the city of Yongzhou, plundered 500,000 stone of grain from the border city, and some were killed and wounded, and they are currently ——"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Feng's fists were already clenched, and his finger bones crackled.

Jian Ruocheng had already seen him angry before, so he stopped talking at this time.

Nanyan thought about it, and immediately stepped aside, wanting to make him a cup of tea to reduce his anger, Xiao Shunzi, who had been standing behind the emperor and serving, also came over to help, Zhu Feng frowned, only glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and said coldly: "No need, I don't want to drink tea." ”

As soon as Nanyan's hand touched the teacup, he stopped.

Xiao Shunzi was stunned for a moment, looked at him, and then looked at the emperor, wanting to say something, but he didn't dare to open his mouth after all.

There was a brief silence in the Wuying Palace.

After a long while, Zhu Feng said coldly: "Yongzhou is the fief of King Jing. ”

Jian Ruocheng said: "Yes." ”

"King Jing said this in the book, what else did he say?"

"King Jing also said that it would take at least 10 million taels of silver to rebuild the damaged city, and that it would be necessary to requisition horses and troops from the imperial court to reinforce the defense of Yongzhou."

Zhu Feng laughed angrily: "As a prince, he asks the court every year for tens of thousands of stones of grain, tens of thousands of pieces of money, horses, silk, tea, and even the prince's guards. Now, half of Yongzhou has been burned, and he has reached out to the imperial court again. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the "Great Yan Tongbao" placed on the table next to him, and sneered: "It seems that I minted these new coins for them. ”

Nanyan listened from the side, and frowned slightly.

In the past, she was just a waiter and a palace maid, she didn't know at all, it turned out that the court still needed to bear so many things, and the court was like an oxcart with a mountain-like haystack on it, and there were people sitting on it to enjoy happiness.

Ye Zhen hurriedly walked over and said softly, "The emperor is angry." ”

Zhu Feng waved his hand and made a look that he was not angry, but seeing that the green tendons on both sides of his forehead were bulging, he was obviously angry.

He suddenly said: "Jian Youcheng, you came to report this matter, don't you have anything to say?" ”

Jian Ruocheng was silent for a moment and said, "The minister doesn't dare to say anything about the crime of dividing flesh and blood. ”
