204: Three years
Spring is coming to the east, and it is another three years in a blink of an eye.
The capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom became even more prosperous and lively.
"Hey, have you heard of it??? Our Dazhou is afraid that it will start a war with Beiliang."
"War starts when it starts, huh, what's wrong with Beiliang when I'm afraid of him???"
"That's right, we have General Shenwu here, and we are afraid that he will not succeed in Beiliang?"
However, the man said worriedly: "We have just destroyed Luo Jin State. If we fight with Beiliang--hey, Beiliang is different from Luo Jin State."
Everyone understands what he means. Luo Jin State is a coward, but Beiliang State is a hungry wolf.
But some people said unconvincedly: "Hmph, Beiliang's country bullies people too much and actually beats my princess of Dazhou. It's simply outrageous---"
"That's the real sister of General Shenwu. How could he swallow this anger??"
As soon as this person said this, everyone was indignant. The Great Zhou had been bullied by Beiliang for too long. He had no ability before, but now it is different. They have the Shenwu General and are full of confidence in their hearts.
Almost all over the streets and alleys are talking about this matter now.
Not long ago, news suddenly came from Beiliang, and it was a call for help.
Princess Zhaohua, Oh, no, now Princess Zhaohua is beaten by the prince of Beiliang. This Beiliang Kingdom is extremely barbaric.
Their Princess Zhaohua of the Great Zhou Dynasty was the daughter of Prince Rui's mansion. She had just married and married Beiliang for more than a year, but she was actually abused so cruelly. This was simply slapping Dazhou in the face.
As soon as this incident came, the whole country was in an uproar.
The people were angry at the moment when they were about to seek justice for Princess Zhaohua. At this time, when Luo Jin was just recovering and the morale was strong.
Not only the people, but they are calling for war with Beiliang in the court.
Although Emperor Jingchang did not directly say that he wanted to start a war, he was very angry and wanted to ask for an explanation.
However, at this moment, Emperor Jingchang held the chess in one hand and said lightly: "Boyuan, what do you think about the affairs of the Northern Liang Kingdom?"
Xiao Zhi, who was sitting in front of Emperor Jingchang at this moment, was more majestic than three years ago, and his anger became heavier. He was not angry and had a sense of slaughter.
Moreover, he had just led a large army to destroy Luo Jin State, and his momentum was even stronger at this moment. He still said with a expressionless face: "I will naturally obey the orders of the emperor."
When Emperor Jingchang heard this, he threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess basket, glared at him and said, "What kind of official accents do you want to talk to me in private? Just tell me, just say it."
Xiao Zhi frowned and looked at the chess game and said, "Master, you lost this game again."
Emperor Jingchang glared at him very depressedly, but Xiao Zhi didn't take it seriously at all. He stretched out his hand and slowly picked up the chess piece and said, "Didn't the emperor already have the answer in his heart??"
Emperor Jingchang sighed and said, "Hey, I used to be a primary school student, and I wanted to grow rapidly. However, this is a problem of growing stronger."
"Our Great Zhou has just recovered Luo Jin State and has not yet stabilized the domestic situation. At this moment, it is really not suitable to start a war in Beiliang--"
Xiao Zhi picked up chess pieces and said, "Then don't fight---"
Emperor Jingchang looked at Xiao Zhi and couldn't help but sigh again. He began to envy this nephew. If he could do anything, he would do it and not do it.
Everyone said that he was the master of the Great Zhou and an emperor above millions of people, but the emperor could not do whatever he wanted.
"But it made Zhaohua's child suffer---"
In fact, Emperor Jingchang's meaning is very clear. He doesn't want to fight, but if he doesn't fight, Princess Zhaohua will be afraid of it. Moreover, it will make Beiliang think that the Great Zhou is incompetent and can be bullied.
In fact, at this critical moment, this incident suddenly broke out in Beiliang, and, with such a big fanfare, he would not believe that he would not believe that there was no wind released by the people from Beiliang.
However, he couldn't understand what the purpose of Beiliang's chess move was.
The Great Zhou has just fought a big battle and needs rest and should not start a war. However, it is not impossible to fight. This is the other party--
Emperor Jingchang couldn't figure it out, but Xiao Zhi understood that Beiliang was testing the Great Zhou. Moreover, because the Great Zhou destroyed Luo Jin State, Beiliang began to be afraid. They were afraid that after the Great Zhou recuperated, they would go to war with them. What should they do if they were attacked from both sides???
Princess Zhaohua is just a chess piece in Beiliang. The signal given by him is to come for blackmail.
If the Great Zhou wants to calm down, then it will have to benefit. Moreover, Beiliang is sure that Emperor Jingchang dares not start a war. It is not because the Great Zhou's vitality is severely damaged, but because Emperor Jingchang is old.
Yes, he is just old. If Xiao Zhi wants to see it, it is not necessary to support the war. The Great Zhou has abundant granaries, and most of the people are just looking for stability. Who is willing to fight???
In recent years, the royal family and government affairs were corrupt, and the court had long been corrupt. The Great Zhou Dynasty had a little comfort and became harmonious in the past few years.
If Beiliang dares to attack at this time, he will be as powerful as a tiger in one go, and he will be able to fight forever, and he will have his own explanation at that time.
However, Emperor Jingchang has become more cautious and more suspicious in the past two years. Although Xiao Zhi is willing to do things, he is even more indifferent.
As for making suggestions, let’s go to those trusted ministers.
Xiao Zhi left the palace and just returned to the mansion, Dongji went up to meet him, "Criminal Master---"
Xiao Zhi nodded, and Dongji hurriedly said, "Criminal Princess Liu has just arrived and ask Princess Zhaohua about it---"
Xiao Zhi frowned, "Yeah, I understand."
Dongji waited for a long time but didn't see Xiao Zhi continue to say anything. Do you know?
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and even felt a little pitiful to Concubine Liu. During this period, she had already cried like a tearful person.
Yes, she is just such a daughter, and she is the princess. If she was in Dazhou, she could have left sideways. But who would have thought that she would be married suddenly and would go to such a tough place as Beiliang.
Even if she begs her grandfather to sue her grandmother, it would be useless. Xiao Zhi has no feelings for this half-sister, but she was bullied like this and was slapped in the face. It would be strange if his face was good.
I'm afraid that Beiliang insisted on marrying Zhaohua and having a relationship with him.
Dongji gave the tea with great eyesight. Xiao Zhi took a sip, then pressed his temple and asked, "How is the stinky girl? I've been busy lately and I've hit the back of my head. There's no news about her for a few days."
Dongji swallowed when he heard this and said, "That, the third prince of Nishikawa is looking for her all over the world--"
Xiao Zhi stopped immediately when he heard the hand rubbing his temples, and looked at Dongji with a brush and said, "Are you talking about it?"
Dongji's forehead was covered with cold sweat, but he said with a tough forehead: "Criminal Master, when you were attacking Luo Jin State, Miss Liu followed Liu Shaoqing to pay a birthday wish to the king of Xichuan State."
Xiao Zhi frowned and said, "How did she provoke the third prince of Nishikawa?"
