Chapter 534: The First Crisis

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Soon the voice of the maid came outside: "Master Prime Minister, the king and the queen are resting."

"This is a major military matter. If you delay it, big trouble will happen." A middle-aged man's voice sounded anxious.

"Prime Minister, if I disturb the king right now, I will not be able to escape death penalty." The maid almost cried.



Hearing the noise outside, Zu An was speechless. He was hugging Pei Mianman and talking about love. He didn't want to be disturbed when he was so cozy.

Pei Mianman hurriedly pushed him: "Please invite him in quickly, don't delay the business, I don't want to become a beauty who brings trouble to the court."

Zu An burst into laughter. He finally understood why there were so many foolish kings in history. It was not easy to get out of bed and go to court in the morning with their beautiful concubines in their arms all day long.

He asked Pei Mianman to get up and put on her clothes, so he wouldn't leave her still lying on the bed and let others come in. He didn't have the hobby of the empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and he liked to let his women's bodies be displayed for the ministers to admire.

When Pei Mianman sat up, there was a surge in his chest, which made Zu An's eyes go straight.

"You haven't seen enough just now~" Pei Mianman's smoke was flowing, and he was indescribably charming and passionate.

Zu An swallowed: "I can't see enough in one lifetime, no, I can't see enough in ten lifetimes."

As he said that, he couldn't help but move closer and stretched out a pair of Lushan claws.

Pei Mianman spat and pushed him away with a blushing face. Obviously there was someone outside, and she was in no mood to mess around with him at this time.

After finally escaping from his clutches, she found some clothes on the side and put them on, with a very strange expression on her face: "Is this clothes...that much?"

Zu An had seen the maid's way of dressing to save fabric for the country before, and he had a general idea. He turned around and took a casual look, but he almost had a nosebleed.

As a queen, she must have much more cloth for her clothes than her maids, but no matter how much she wore, it couldn't compare to the development of the textile industry in later generations.

The way she dressed was bold even in the brothels of later generations.

Similar to the previous maid, she wore a top and a short skirt, but because Pei Mianman's bust was so big, the top was quite short, revealing her white and tender waist, which looked like milk soaked in milk.

Those long, round and tight legs exude a wild, primitive beauty, giving people a great visual impact.

Pei Mianman was not used to such revealing clothing and subconsciously stepped back. However, she immediately frowned and subconsciously bent down.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Zu An was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

Pei Mianman said angrily

She glanced at him: "I haven't just been tortured by you."

Only then did Zu An realize that she was still a virgin, and the battle just now was so intense that there would inevitably be some sequelae.

"Still laughing!" Pei Mianman said angrily, but now she was more worried about other things, "When outsiders come in later, will my body be too exposed?"

"No, it's pretty good-looking. It's like this in this era, so don't mind it too much." Zu An smiled. This outfit is indeed a little revealing in Mingyue City, but in his own world, Xia Tian is like this

Overdressing is so commonplace that many women wear much less.

Every world has its own good points.

While feeling emotional, he also ordered people from outside to come in.

Soon the door opened, and a middle-aged man trotted in: "I said that I have met the king and the queen."

His eyes were clear and he didn't glance at Pei Mianman too much. Zu An nodded secretly. He was an honest man, and his appearance showed that he was a loyal minister who cared about the country and the people.

"Fu said?" Zu An suddenly had some information in his head. Wu Ding was once entrusted by a god to find a good minister sent to him by God, and finally found him.

The man in front of me was a slave in the early days. When he was selected by Wu Ding, he was building blocks beside the road, making some barriers to prevent water from damaging the road.

"Mencius" mentions "Fu Shuoju in the Banzhu", and "Shangshu" mentions "Shuo Zhuzhu in the wilderness of Fu Yan" refers to this incident.

He was found by Wu Ding and rose to prominence from then on, becoming the prime minister of the Shang Dynasty, with power over both the government and the public.

Of course, Zu An didn't believe in any god's dream. How could he find such a talented slave by chance on the roadside?

In the final analysis, it was because Wu Ding had lived among the people for a long time in his childhood. He probably knew this Fu Shuo for a long time, and then deliberately used the excuse of "a god entrusting him with a dream".

When Wu Ding first came to the throne, he didn't have enough people with seniority, prestige, and so he stayed silent for only three years, silently observing the movements of the government and the public. Later, he recruited Fu Yue, one of his own, to strengthen his team.

Thinking of this, Zu An understood that this was a direct descendant, and hurriedly returned the greeting: "What is the prime minister worried about?"

In ancient times, the status of the prime minister was very high, and he could sit and discuss matters with the emperor. It was not until the development of the feudal dynasty that the prime minister's stool was abolished, and later he even had to kneel to the emperor.

"News came from the front line that the troops we sent out to attack the Qiang were completely wiped out." Fu Shuo said with a serious face.

"What?" Zu An has actually slowly assumed the role of Wu Ding.

Although he still doesn't know what this trial is about, it makes him and Pei Mianman become warriors and good wives. No matter how they do things that are beneficial to the Shang Dynasty, they are definitely right.

A stream of information poured into his mind. The Qiang mentioned by the other party was a powerful alien tribe in the northwest of the Shang Dynasty. Their sphere of influence was roughly in today's Gansu and Shaanxi. From time to time, they sent troops to invade and plunder the people of the Shang Dynasty.

The Fang of Qiang Fang means Fang Country, and the people of Shang Dynasty called other surrounding countries so-and-so Fang.

This time the Qiang invaded the border of the Shang Dynasty in a large scale. The Shang Dynasty also sent generals and troops to fight. Unexpectedly, the entire army was wiped out.

In this way, the situation of the Shang Dynasty becomes dangerous. You must know that the Qiang is an old enemy of the Shang Dynasty and is not weak. If you are not careful, it may develop into a disaster that will destroy the country.

Zu An fell into deep thought. Could it be that this trial is to see if we can solve the businessman's crisis?

He hurriedly asked: "Who is the best at fighting in both the government and the public today?"

Fu Shuo replied: "Of course it is you, the king."

Zu An: "..."

"What time has it been? Don't flatter me and tell the truth."

"Flattery?" Fu said at a loss, obviously not understanding the meaning of the word, "I am telling the truth. Your Majesty, you are the number one general in our court. The one who was second in line before led the troops to meet the enemy. He has already

The whole army was wiped out."

Zu An: "..."

After a long time, he sighed: "It seems that I can only take action personally."

At this point, he could only bite the bullet. After all, he had thousands of years of historical experience and played so many war games, so it wouldn't be useless at all.

Fu said but hurriedly stopped him: "Your Majesty, you cannot leave Yindu."

Zu An was stunned: "Why?"

Fu Shuo glanced at him doubtfully: "Have you forgotten, your Majesty? In recent years, your Majesty has tried to take back the power to appoint officials, which has touched the interests of a large number of old nobles. They have long been dissatisfied with you. Now the Yin capital is suffering from internal and external troubles.

There has been an undercurrent surging for a long time. It’s a good thing that you are guarding this place. If the king leaves, I’m afraid everything will change in an instant.”

Zu An suddenly felt a pain in his balls: "Then do you have any ideas?"

Since this guy is a famous capable minister in history, he should not be famous in vain.

Fu Yue glanced at Pei Mianman, who was standing aside, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid the Queen will need to take action in this matter. We must know that we cannot afford to lose in this battle and must send out the remaining main forces in the capital. But there are really people we can trust.

Not much. If it is left in the hands of someone with ulterior motives, even if you win, it will cause trouble. Only the queen will not betray the king. In addition, she brought three thousand elites from the fief with her on this trip, joining the king's direct troops.

One, we will definitely be able to defeat the invading Qiang side."

When he heard that Pei Mianman was asked to take action, Zu An was shocked: "No, absolutely not!"
