Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

The atmosphere in the Qinzheng Hall was solemn and serious.

Xiao Chenyi was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and sitting upright on the throne. His eyes were deep and sharp, exuding an innate majesty.

His figure was as straight as a pine tree, and his broad shoulders seemed able to carry the weight of the entire world.

Her black hair was neatly tied under the golden crown, with a few strands of hair falling on her forehead, adding a bit of heroic spirit.

Xiao Chenyi's deep eyes sparkled with wisdom as he glanced at the ministers. Under his high nose bridge, his thin lips were tightly pursed, with firm lines.

Several important ministers stood on both sides with solemn expressions, and were having a serious discussion.

After a while, an old official with wrinkles on his face stood up, walked to Xiao Chenyi, bowed slightly, and clasped his hands together:

"Your Majesty, I think that we should quickly send reinforcements to stabilize the situation on the border."

Another minister shook his head slightly, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think we should not act rashly. The domestic situation is still unstable, and sending troops rashly may cause unexpected events."

The middle-aged minister was wearing a gorgeous and solemn official uniform, as if he was carrying the accumulation of years and the weight of responsibility. His face, which should have been dignified, was now shrouded in solemnity, as depressing as a cloudy sky. Especially in his deep eyes, there was endless worry and uneasiness, as if the whole world was weighing heavily on his heart.

Others did not know that in his heart, he was filled with gratitude towards the newly enthroned emperor. Even if it meant sacrificing his life, he would be willing to do so.

When the emperor first ascended the throne, he personally held up the imperial edict that symbolized supreme power.

From that moment on, a turbulent wave of controversy ensued in the court. Voices of doubt and opposition rose one after another, like a tide, without stopping for a moment.

The minister knew very well that all this was due to the remnant forces left behind by other princes with ulterior motives who were secretly causing trouble.

However, faced with such a complicated situation, His Majesty displayed extraordinary calmness.

He is like an indestructible mountain, standing firmly at the pinnacle of power. No matter how fierce the storm is, it cannot shake him in the slightest.

The emperor acted decisively and vigorously, and he always turned a blind eye to the provocations of those with ulterior motives. This calm demeanor made everyone both awed and admired.

It is precisely because of the emperor's bold, resolute and ruthless style of doing things that those who dared to openly challenge him have become somewhat well-behaved in recent days.

However, it is conceivable that beneath this seemingly calm surface, there must still be many sinister and cunning people secretly plotting hidden conspiracies.

After all, how could those princes who were forced to leave the capital city give up? They would definitely try every possible means to come back and take back everything they had lost.

Back then, ever since the late emperor married the woman named Feng Jiaojiao, he had become increasingly indifferent to state affairs, indulging himself in sensual pleasures all day long, causing chaos in the court and leaving behind countless difficult problems that needed to be solved urgently.

Fortunately, the new king has ascended the throne. He not only possesses extraordinary wisdom and strategy, but also unswerving determination and courage.

Faced with such a complicated situation, the emperor acted decisively and quickly adopted a series of powerful measures to clean up the bureaucracy and rectify the government with lightning speed.

If not for this, the court would have fallen into chaos and disorder long ago, and might even have caused chaos in the world!

He secretly rejoiced in his heart because the god of fate favored him and allowed him to meet such a wise monarch.

At the same time, he was full of gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor. After all, it was His Majesty who had a keen eye and chose him, a minor official of the sixth rank who had been idle for nine years, from among many ministers. He gave him unhesitating favors beyond imagination - he promoted him three levels in a row and promoted him to the important position of Dali Temple Minister in one fell swoop.

However, there are always rumors spreading in the world.

Some people rumored that he had become nothing more than a sharp blade in the emperor's hands.

Faced with such rumors, he did not take them seriously.

Why not? He would be happy to be favored and valued by the emperor, and to have the opportunity to realize his long-cherished ambitions. Even if he had to act as that sharp knife, he would be happy to do so!

He was not completely opposed to conquering that tiny country that dared to challenge our country's dignity. In fact, he was full of indignation and resentment deep in his heart.

However, the reality forced him to think carefully and weigh the pros and cons.

After all, His Majesty is now busy with many affairs and exhausted every day. If a war is launched rashly at this time, it will probably make His Majesty exhausted and unable to take care of everything.

More importantly, the country's financial situation was already tight, and the emperor was sympathetic to the people. The daily continuous expenditures had made the treasury increasingly empty, and it was really unable to bear the huge consumption brought about by this new war.

Therefore, although he was filled with resentment, after considering various factors, he decided to persuade the emperor not to fight for the time being.

I received news from the border this morning, saying that the small country that was defeated by Xiao Chenyi before has begun to harass our country again.

There are too many miscellaneous opinions in the court, and most of them are meaningless.

Xiao Chenyi simply brought a few ministers whom he valued to the Qinzheng Hall and discussed the matter behind closed doors.

At this time, another minister who had obviously been struggling for a long time finally stepped forward to express his opinion: "Your Majesty, our dynasty has always valued peace. If we can send a princess to marry, the small country will definitely be ecstatic. I guess that not only will the war stop, but they may also send a big gift. The two princesses left by the late emperor, the eldest princess is about to come of age, it's just right..."

Before he could finish his words, Xiao Chenyi threw a bunch of memorials at his face, and his face was instantly covered in blood.

The minister knelt down in panic and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I have no other intentions!"

My God, in every dynasty, has there been no marriage between royal families?

Maybe the emperor doesn't know this?

After hearing about the marriage alliance, you actually hit me?

While kneeling and begging for mercy, the minister kept winking at the minister who advocated peace next to him, wanting him to plead for him: We are all peace advocates, and we understand the best!

Unfortunately, the minister acted as if he didn't see it. He lowered his head and no one knew what he was thinking.

Xiao Chenyi's originally handsome face turned blue with anger. His eyes were wide open, as if burning with rage, which made people shudder.

He clenched his hands into fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms.

Send the princess to marry?

There are no men in their Dali Dynasty, right?

Since you have no money and no ability to fight, you just give your pampered princess to the barbarians to be bullied?

This is not even as good as fattening up the pigs and then slaughtering and selling them.

Is this a human job?

The eldest of the princesses of the previous emperor was only nine years old, right? Was she going to be a virgin soon?

What’s the difference between this and kneeling down and begging for mercy?

He almost said: I dare not fight you, I can't beat you, I'm afraid of you! I give you our most noble princess, you can do whatever you want with her...

Isn't that small country going to be so proud?
