kingly way

Chapter 195 Chapter 195

Xu Country, Qianning Palace...

Jin Yuanhong stomped back and forth in the hall, while Yu Wenwan stood aside.

"Your Majesty has something on your mind?" Yu Wenwan asked softly.

"Well, after fighting with Zhao Qingyu for several years, the treasury is running low. Isn't it a bit rash to quell the Nanyue Kingdom this time?"

Jin Yuanhong sighed.

"Your Majesty, how is the strength of Nanyue Kingdom compared to Beiwan Kingdom?" Yu Wenwan said softly.

"In the past, the strength was not comparable to that of Beiwan. I heard that in recent years, the economic strength of Nanyue has developed rapidly. Now the actual national strength is unpredictable."

"Based on the strength of the Nanyue Kingdom, no matter how it develops, it should not be able to compare with the Beiwan Kingdom. The Beiwan Kingdom has been defeated by us. Now we have many good soldiers from the Xu Kingdom, and with the soldiers from the Beiwan Kingdom, why should we be afraid of one?" What about South Vietnam?"

"Wan'er is right, I'm just worried about military expenditures and food and grass!" Jin Yuanhong looked embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. If this matter is done well, why worry about not having any treasury money?" Yu Wenwan said with a smile, her lips curled up.

"Wan'er, what's the matter? Tell me quickly and let the widows listen."

As soon as Jin Yuanhong heard that Kuyin could be expanded, he couldn't wait.

"The treasure map of the previous dynasty presented by Ying Zhen." Yu Wenwan smiled strangely.

"Oh, how come the widow has forgotten this matter. If you get this treasure, why not worry about the military expenses. Haha..."

Jin Yuanhong laughed happily after listening.

"But the treasure map has four axes. We only have one axis. How do we hunt for treasure?"

Jin Yuanhong's laughter stopped suddenly, followed by a look of disappointment.

"Your Majesty, this matter is entrusted to the Chief Sikou Song Bangyu, Lord Song, to investigate and deal with it with all his strength, and the Chief Sima Lingdu coldly cooperates with General Ling Ling. The soldiers needed by Lord Song are provided by General Ling to ensure the success of capturing the map. As long as the map is captured, why worry about it?" If you can't find the treasure, why worry about military expenses?"

"Yeah." Jin Yuanhong nodded.

"Now we don't need to attack the South Vietnam country urgently. The concubine has a plan. Although the South Vietnam country cannot be defeated without attack, at least it can affect the strength of the South Vietnam country."

"What good strategy does Wan'er have, tell me quickly and let the widows hear."

Jin Yuanhong stared at Yu Wenwan and hurriedly said, yes, why is Jin Yuanhong not in a hurry to solve such a big problem of military expenditure?

"The king should know that Yang Shaogong and Ying Luoxi have always been at odds." Yu Wenwan showed a strange smile.

"The conflict between them is known to the whole world. In order to uphold the prestige of the army, Ying Luo punished Yang Shaogong's favorite general Wu Hechun on the school field."

"That time Yang Shaogong not only lost one of his favorite generals, but more importantly, he, a veteran official in the court, was disgraced. Therefore, Yang Shaogong hated Ying Luo deeply. I heard that he secretly united with several powerful ministers in the court to deal with Ying Luo. .” Yu Wenwan’s expression turned into gloating.

"This widow has also heard about it. Could it be that Wan'er wants them to fight among themselves?" Jin Yuanhong seemed to understand Yu Wenwan's meaning.

"Your Majesty's sage, this concubine has exactly the intention."

"What is Wan'er going to do?" Jin Yuanhong guessed that Yu Wenwan must have a plan.

"Your Majesty, you can send someone who is clever and eloquent to sneak up on Yang Shaogong, lobby him, and instead ask Yang Shaogong to go to the front line. Want to fight us? Who will benefit most from this?"

Yu Wenwan smiled slightly, with a strange expression on her face, she brought the brewed tea to Jin Yuanhong and presented it to him.

"Countermeasures, good tricks. Of course we are the ones who benefit, haha..." Jin Yuanhong laughed happily.

"What do you think of this plan, Your Majesty?" Yu Wenwan stared at Jin Yuanhong and asked intentionally.

"Haha... Wan'er is smart, this plan is very clever, this plan is very clever! Haha..."

Jin Yuanhong took the tea brought by Yu Wenwan and laughed.

"However, such an errand must require a person who can speak well, who can be up to the task?"

Jin Yuanhong brought the tea to his mouth and stopped suddenly.

"Your Majesty, my concubine recommends someone to go?"

"Who does Wan'er think is the right candidate?"

"Xue Renhao."

Yu Wenwan looked at Jin Yuanhong.

"Xue Renhao? General Xue Renhao of Beiwan Guozuo?" Jin Yuanhong was surprised.

"it's him."

Yu Wenwan reached out and took a piece of fruit into her mouth, chewing it slowly.

"Is he okay? He is a general from Beiwan Kingdom." Jin Yuanhong hesitated.

"It is because he is the surrendered general of Beiwan Kingdom that he is the most suitable candidate. Your Majesty, think about it, why did he surrender in the first place?"

Yu Wenwan swallowed the fruit.

"At that time, he was the general guarding the city of Yewan. When we besieged the city, it was Wan'er who proposed the strategy of coercion by force and temptation of interests, so that Yewan city would collapse without attack." Jin Yuanhong smiled.

"That's it. Let's promise him benefits, promise to mention his official position, give him money, and let him do things for us wholeheartedly. With his intelligence and eloquence, he will definitely be able to complete the task."

"Haha... Wan'er is not a man, but she doesn't let her be, she is even better than a man. She understands the situation so well, and she is always strategizing." Jin Yuanhong laughed.

"Your Majesty, my concubine saw that the king was able to cope with it in the past. Since the abolition of the feudal vassal system was implemented, my concubine felt that it was very valuable for the king to bear the pressure of all aspects; my concubine could not help the king. I am doing some small things, hoping to relieve the king's worries and problems."

Yu Wenwan approached Jin Yuanhong and held his hand and said affectionately.

"Wan'er is humble. What you do is not a trivial matter. Every time you do something, you can solve a big problem for me. It is enough for me to have such a beauty like Wan'er."

Jin Yuanhong held Yu Wenwan's hand emotionally, and hugged her in his arms.

"As long as the king can understand my concubine, this life is enough for my concubine."

Yu Wenwan leaned against Jin Yuanhong's arms and revealed an incomprehensible smile.

"The widow not only understands, but also..." Jin Yuanhong looked at Yu Wenwan affectionately with a smile on his face.

"What's the matter?" Yu Wenwan smiled even sweeter.

"I still can't do without Wan'er." After Jin Yuanhong finished speaking, he hugged Yu Wenwan into his arms.

"What else? After the unification of Kyushu, my concubine asked the king to arrange spies to spy on the princes and officials. Didn't you say that I was unnecessary?" Yu Wenwan said coquettishly.

"At that time, the widow didn't understand the reason. It wasn't until the spies of all the officials secretly reported the news of the officials to the widow that the widow really realized Wan'er's meticulousness. Lu Chaoyi, Wu Feiyang and others made contributions one after another, and the widow didn't understand Wan'er's meticulousness. Make arrangements." Jin Yuanhong said with emotion.

"The concubine's arrangement is always for the sake of the king. If there are spies from the king in the whole world, wouldn't the king be able to look at the world from a distance." Yu Wenwan said.

"Wan'er is very right." Jin Yuanhong praised.

"Since the first time my concubine saw Wang Shang's heroic appearance from a distance, my concubine decided not to seek anything in return, and followed the king wholeheartedly. Even if it was going up the mountain of swords or into the sea of ​​fire, my concubine would not hesitate to die." Yu Wenwan said.

"Shh, since I don't want Wan'er to be wronged, naturally I don't want Wan'er to go down the mountain of swords and fire."

Jin Yuanhong was so moved that he covered Yu Wenwan's mouth and said emotionally.

……

the next day,
Qianyuan Hall.

Jin Yuanhong, Xue Renhao...

"Master Xue, although you followed Zhao Qingyu to start an incident, the widow considers that you are Zhao Qingyu's subordinate and was coerced by Zhao Qingyu, so you have to follow him. Now that you have repented and returned to Xu Country, you have this opportunity You have to cherish it." Jin Yuanhong's eyes shot two sharp rays of light.

"As the king said, it was really coerced by Zhao Qingyu at the beginning. It was a last resort. The king did not punish the crimes of the humble ministers. It was not only a kindness and pardon, but also an increase in officials and honors. , I thank you, Your Majesty."

Xue Renhao didn't know why Jin Yuanhong suddenly mentioned this again, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Haha... It's just that Mr. Xue hasn't reused it. He just gave Mr. Xue the position of a Chinese doctor."

"Your Majesty, I don't remember the crimes of my minister, and even conferred the position of a middle-ranking doctor on my humble minister. I am already grateful, so I dare not ask for anything extravagant." The better Jin Yuanhong's attitude, the more afraid Xue Renhao was, and he couldn't even speak. Panicked.

"Now there is an opportunity for Mr. Xue to make meritorious service. Whether Mr. Xue can be promoted or not depends on this opportunity." Jin Yuanhong asked with a smile.
