Tragic death in the previous life: After rebirth, the sickly prince pampers her every night
Chapter 858 Using yourself as bait
When the opposing voices had almost all been spoken, Jun Zeyuan looked at Xiao Yi, who had remained silent.
"Prime Minister Xiao also thinks that I cannot lead the army in person?"
Xiao Yi was dressed in a dark purple prime minister's robe, with a jade-like face and deep eyes. He stood upright, took a step forward, bowed slightly, and said slowly: "Your Majesty is right. Only if you lead the army in person can we inspire the morale of the three armies. Otherwise, we will lose this battle!"
Wen Tianhua also stepped forward and said, "I second the motion."
“No, absolutely not.”
Master Zhuang and Minister Chen strongly objected.
Jun Zeyuan twisted the battle report in his hand, lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and said: "I have made up my mind. Tomorrow morning, I will lead the army in person."
He has been trapped in the palace for too long.
The moment he made the decision, his blood started to boil.
I want to fight so badly.
Damn, he's suffocated to death.
Jun Zeyuan looked around among the crowd.
Since he ascended the throne, he has had it much easier than previous emperors.
Because he had a large group of wise officials.
Now, those standing in the imperial study are all loyal to him.
Finally, his sight stopped at Xiao Yi.
"While I am personally on the expedition, Prime Minister Xiao will be in charge of government affairs."
Xiao Yi made him feel at ease. With his talent and wisdom, he could manage state affairs well even if he, the emperor, was not around.
Xiao Yi said calmly: "Your Majesty, I cannot act as the governor of the country."
"Why?"
Jun Zeyuan's brows furrowed.
Xiao Yi stood straight, his fair face still as elegant as jade, but compared to before, it was even more noble, cold and calculating.
He said respectfully, "In the second battle, we lost a city, and nearly half of our 500,000-man army was lost. Even if King Meng led 200,000 troops and General Yang led 150,000 troops, we would only have 600,000 troops. I want to go to Nan Sheng to persuade him to send troops."
When Xiao Yi said this, everyone looked at him in bewilderment.
Today, the world is divided into four kingdoms: Dong Zhou, Bei Yan, Xi Shang, and Nan Sheng.
Xishang is the most powerful, but Nansheng is the weakest among the four countries.
Nan Sheng's annual tribute was three times that of Dong Zhou and Bei Yan.
The people were already weak, and they had to pay so much tribute, which made them miserable.
This is because the emperor of Nansheng is a five-year-old child, and the power is in the hands of the regent.
The little emperor Nan Sheng is just a puppet.
Nan Sheng's regent had rebelled and killed Nan Sheng's god of war.
As a result, Wuzhu will fight against Xishang, so he will obey Xishang's orders, hoping that they will be obedient, so as to gain Xishang's favor towards Nansheng and not make things too difficult for them.
But the more Nan Sheng tried to show his kindness, the more Xi Shang became more aggressive.
Xishang proposed that if Princess Sheng Jiuyue of Nansheng be asked to go to Xishang to provide entertainment for the royal family of Xishang, some of Nansheng's tribute could be reduced.
I heard that Sheng Jiuyue is a rare beauty in the world, and she is also the biological sister of the little emperor.
Under the arrangement of the Regent, Princess Nan Sheng entered Xishang.
But within just one month, Princess Nan Sheng died tragically in the palace due to the inhumane abuse of the Xishang royal family.
The little emperor was upset when he heard about Princess Nan Sheng's death.
As a result, he was almost killed by the Regent.
Later, the little emperor became much more obedient and never dared to disobey the regent again.
For such a country, Xiao Yi actually wanted to persuade them to send troops.
Is there something wrong with Prime Minister Xiao?
"I want to hear what the Prime Minister thinks?"
Jun Zeyuan actually showed some interest.
Xiao Yi said slowly and calmly: "Your Majesty, the little emperor Nan Sheng has been a puppet for many years, and the regent has been in control until now.
But when Emperor Nan Sheng ascended the throne, he was only five years old. Now, after all these years, he is no longer a child.
If we help him, relying on the fact that Princess Nan Sheng died in Xishang, he will definitely send troops."
Master Zhuang frowned and said nothing.
Minister Chen stroked his beard and said, "Prime Minister Xiao, the Nansheng Regent has been in charge of Nansheng for many years, and we are from another country. It would be extremely difficult to kill him and help the young emperor take power."
"No, the regent loves beauty, and I am ready to present him with a deadly and beautiful lady."
"A gorgeous lady?"
Xiao Yi looked a little uncomfortable, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and his lips were pursed into a line: "Yes, Your Majesty, please agree."
Lord Yang Shishu shook his head and said, "That's not right. I heard that the regent of Nansheng doesn't like beautiful women, but likes men. He has many gorgeous prostitutes in his backyard."
"Cough cough..."
Xiao Yi held his chin and coughed slightly, interrupting Master Yang's words.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to use myself as bait and go to Nansheng. I will definitely get Nansheng to send troops to help Dongzhou."
Use yourself as bait!
Everyone took a deep breath, their faces varied.
It turns out that the beautiful lady that Prime Minister Xiao was talking about was himself.
He wants to seduce the Regent Nan Sheng.
OMG!
With the heavy taste of Regent Nan Sheng, the powerful Prime Minister of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty might indeed arouse his desire to conquer.
Tsk, the way everyone looked at Prime Minister Xiao seemed to have changed.
The more I read, the more I think Prime Minister Xiao's method is feasible.
Look at Prime Minister Xiao's fair face, slim waist, and temperament...
The gazes of the crowd made Xiao Yi's body stiffen slightly, then he stood up straight, with a smile on his face, and said, "How about I let you go?"
Everyone waved their hands: "No, no, no, Prime Minister, don't be polite, just go, just go..."
Jun Zeyuan put his hand to his lips and coughed a few times.
Everyone consciously withdrew their gazes from Xiao Yi.
Jun Zeyuan gave Xiao Yi a thumbs up, and looked at Xiao Yi without any hesitation: "Beautiful, Prime Minister Xiao is so beautiful!
Such a beautiful lady, Prince Regent Nan Sheng will naturally fall at your feet.
My Prime Minister is so righteous, he is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. I really can’t express my gratitude enough…”
Xiao Yi curled the corner of his mouth!
Although Jun Zeyuan has restrained his temper since becoming the emperor, he is much calmer in his daily life.
But it is easy to change the situation but difficult to change one’s nature!
The mouth is still so short.
"Well, Prime Minister Xiao, if I agree to let you go, will Princess Liling..."
Xiao Yi lowered his eyes and said, "No, I will explain it to her when I return home."
Jun Zeyuan was silent for a while, and finally said: "Okay, I will prepare enough secret guards for Prime Minister Xiao to ensure your safety. We will go to Nansheng early tomorrow morning."
"Yes."
----
The weather in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had turned cold, and in the dark night, there was a drizzle of rain.
In the imperial study, the candlelight was bright, and Jun Zeyuan was still handling affairs.
He will set out early tomorrow morning, and he still needs to sort out the things on hand.
"Meet Her Majesty the Queen."
Then a beautiful figure walked in quickly.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Chen Yanrou bowed slightly towards Jun Zeyuan.
