C656 Dark Chess Start
The officials below the pavilion were all silent, not daring to speak a word. After being enraged, the Emperor of the Great Liao swept his gaze across the entire hall before looking at Xiao Feng: "Brother, what do you think our Great Liaoning Empire should do? "After all, you are also the King of the southern courtyard of Liaoning Province. How should I confront China?"1
Xiao Feng said in a deep voice, "With Prince of Yan in China, as long as Mt. Tai is stable, any vassal state would not dare to provoke them. If they do, they would get their revenge, so I believe we can only negotiate and not fight."
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Emperor of Da Liao: "Can't fight? I have heard a lot about Prince of Yan's reputation, saying that he is vengeful, extremely spicy, and not easy to deal with.
But he is not the only prince of China, and he is also one of the weakest of the nine princes. He might not be the only one to take the seat in China, but if other princes were to take the lead, China might have a chance. "
Xiao Feng nodded and said, "His Majesty's words are reasonable. We need to inquire about this."
In Dali Kingdom Nation, Duan Zhengming looked at the imprint on the dragon throne, which was left behind by Shen Muqing. He looked at the imprint in a daze, and heard footsteps coming from below.
Duan Zhengming nodded and said, "Do you guys know about what happened with Tofu?"
The crowd nodded, and one of the officials said, "Hua Xia's Ninth Prince is a martial arts prodigy who has not been seen for a thousand years, his speed of progress in his martial arts is astonishing. According to this humble subject's information, during the battle of Yumen Pass, Shen Muqing was able to take the head of Prince Fu Qian in one stroke, to the point where a million of his cavalry were annihilated."
Another person said, "That's right, we were all shocked when we heard about it. One must know that Fu Qian is the number one warrior outside the city, he was once an existence that challenged a Martial Saint, but he actually couldn't withstand a single slash from Prince of Yan. If Prince of Yan had this cultivation technique a few years ago, I'm afraid our Dali Kingdom would already be gone."
The Prime Minister said from the side: "Currently, all of the hundred small countries outside the city call Shen Muqing a god, even if they were plotted against by Ban Chao, they would not dare to send troops to take revenge. It can be seen how Liu Tie's deterring strength is, my Dali Kingdom is weaker than him, and I don't dare compare to him, at such a crucial moment, I should show good will to Hua Xia."
Duan Zhengming backhandedly said, "I have the same intention, but the treasury is empty. The last time Ninth Prince was presented, the treasury was emptied and the tax was increased for the people. Now, no silver is available."
Everyone looked at each other. As officials of Dali Kingdom, they were naturally well aware of the treasury. The current situation with Dali Kingdom was already very difficult, so if they were to give another gift to Shen Muqing, there was no way they could bear it.
One of the officials below gritted his teeth and said, "Let's raise the taxes again, it's also for the safety of our nation!"
This was the sorrow of a weak country, but did they have any other choice? Of course not. Duan Zhengming clenched his fists. Although he was unwilling, when he thought about the situation he was in, the surrounding people were also eyeing him covetously.
He said sullenly, "Forget it, let's raise the taxes again! I will write down the decree and announce it to the world. "
The subjects prostrated themselves on the ground. "Your Majesty is wise."
On the other side, the Great Jin Nation's Yan Honglie was busy writing his report when he suddenly heard a commotion. When he saw the person, he could not help but smile and nodded, "Kang'er, how did you come?"
The person who came was none other than Yan Honglie's adopted son. Because he had no son in Western Xia, he was Yan Honglie's godson and valued him a lot. He was also very ambitious and resourceful, helping him deal with a lot of things.
