239. Chapter 239 Chapter 0238 The widow also wants this country
Kaiyang Kingdom is the only country close to the wilderness. It is vast and sparsely populated. It has a territory almost equal to that of Tianshu Kingdom, but its population is only half of Tianshu Kingdom. However, this half is dozens of times that of Yaoguang Kingdom.
Spring and Autumn City, the imperial capital of Kaiyang Kingdom, has a population of over 50 million!
The Spring and Autumn City is not peaceful at this moment, because the war between the Seven Kingdoms is about to spread to Kaiyang. As the emperor of Kaiyang, Zhang Chutian is under great pressure. Having just taken over the power from the late emperor, he is a little worried about this huge country.
He had more than enough but insufficient power. Before the regime could be completely stabilized, the flames of war were already raging, leaving him at a loss as to what to do.
So, he summoned all the civil and military officials to gather in Jinse Hall to discuss the plan.
"Your Majesty, the Yuheng Kingdom has chosen to side with Yaoguang, and the two countries of Tianji and Tianxuan have been attracted by Sun Zhongyu. Although the Tianshu Kingdom still occupies the strongest position in the mainland, the current Tianshu Kingdom is accompanied by the desolate war.
Death and gradual decline. A country with the most vast territory and the most populous population will be a burden to Emperor Tianshu. If the minister’s estimate is good, Emperor Tianshu will eventually choose to stand on the same front as Zhuang Qingxiu. Although Sun Zhongyu ruled
Yaoguang is the smallest country on the mainland, but now he has obtained the ancient teleportation array, and it is even said that he entered the Giant Mountains and found a clan of giants that had disappeared for thousands of years."
An old man wearing a prime minister's uniform stood in the center of the hall, talking nonstop about the current situation in the mainland to the absent-minded young emperor on the dragon throne. As everyone knows, even if he is talking now and his mouth is dry, the young emperor on the dragon throne will
But he didn't listen to a single word. Right now, his mind was filled with the figure of the vixen who had just been named Xiang Fei. After many battles last night, he was exhausted and his whole body was limp.
"Your Majesty, the spread of this war was not started by Tianshu Kingdom, which had ambitions for the entire continent eighteen years ago, but by Yaoguang, a country with revenge. Eighteen years ago, the Tianshu Kingdom's army suppressed Yaoguang.
Emperor Yaoguang sent letters to various countries, but no country was willing to send troops to rescue him. At that time, Emperor Yaoguang was angered to death. The new emperor who ascended the throne in danger had no choice but to sign a number of treaties with Tianshu that were humiliating and depriving the country. Now, that incompetent
The emperor is gone, and a country shrouded in hatred is growing. Sun Zhongyu has two generations of hatred. He will definitely plunge this continent into the flames of war. So, should we choose to side with Tianquan, or stand with Sun Zhongyu's team?
Your Majesty must think twice before acting."
"Think twice," Zhang Chutian raised his head, blinked blankly, and said, "Don't you think twice? By the way, what did the prime minister just say? Oh, right, alliance, choose a camp? Bah, I don't believe this.
.Come here, kill the envoy sent by Zhuang Qingxiu!"
"Your Majesty." When the old prime minister heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt down and said hurriedly: "You must not kill the Tianquan envoy at this time. If Your Majesty kills the Tianquan envoy at this moment, Zhuang Qingxiu will definitely kill him.
I think we have chosen to side with Sun Zhongyu."
"Oh, that's it."
Zhang Chutian blinked, then stood up and said calmly: "Then kill Yao Guang and Tian Quan's envoys together!"
"His Majesty,"
When the civil and military officials in the main hall heard this, they were all shocked. They knelt down and urged in unison: "Your Majesty, no!"
Killing the envoys of the two countries is undoubtedly a blatant provocation to the two countries.
The war has not yet spread to Kaiyang. If the envoys of the two countries are killed, Kaiyang will definitely become the center of the war, and Kaiyang will be the first target of public criticism.
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Glaring at the kneeling ministers, Zhang Chutian raised his voice and said sternly: "It's not good to choose Zhuang Qingxiu, and it's not good to ally with Sun Zhongyu. If that doesn't work, then kill the envoys they sent. You don't
Let me kill you, then you have to tell me, what should I do, and where should Kaiyang Kingdom go?"
"Your Majesty, I have a plan!"
A middle-aged man in a general's uniform raised his head and continued: "We sent two secret envoys to enter Tianquan and Yaoguang respectively. They all gave the same answer, agreeing to the alliance. Of course, this was just a verbal agreement, waiting for them
The fight started, and we watched the situation change from the wall before making the final decision."
"absurd!"
Zhang Chutian suddenly shouted loudly, walked up to the general a few steps at a time, and said angrily: "If this happens, won't I, Kaiyang Kingdom, become a wallflower?"
"Your Majesty, this is war!"
The general simply stood up and said loudly: "Whoever laughs in the end is the winner, no matter who is the loser. The most important thing is that Zhuang Qingxiu and Sun Zhongyu are both guys who have ambitions for the entire Beidou Continent. Even if we are in alliance with anyone, this war will
It will not end. Because, whether Zhuang Qingxiu wins or Sun Zhongyu wins, the so-called alliance will fall apart at an alarming speed. Your Majesty, we are not afraid of war, we are only afraid that in this war related to the future pattern of Beidou Continent,
We in Kaiyang Kingdom will not even have a place in the end. Therefore, we must retain our strength and remain unchanged to cope with all changes!"
Zhang Chutian fell silent. He was not really a foolish king. He could see the current situation in the mainland very clearly.
What the general said was exactly what he was thinking. It's just that he said it through the general's mouth.
The hall fell into absolute silence. Zhang Chutian stood motionless in front of the general. After a while, he sighed secretly, then turned around and walked back to the dragon throne without saying a word.
After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes wider and said, "I am weak because I don't want the people of Kaiyang Kingdom to suffer from the war. Since the general trend is that our Kaiyang Kingdom has been suppressed by Tianshu for eighteen years, it is time to let out a bad breath.
.”
Hearing this, all the officials were stunned and looked up at Zhang Chutian without knowing why.
"Eighteen years ago, it was not that Kaiyang Kingdom did not want to send troops to rescue Yaoguang, but Tianshu's army laid siege to the city. Now, Sun Zhongyu came to take advantage of Tianshu. I think Kaiyang Kingdom should make up for this regret.
.”
Once again, the ministers secretly felt their hearts sinking. Obviously, their Majesty's decision was completely opposite to theirs.
"Come here, let the envoys from the Kingdom of Tianquan come to the palace!"
"The envoys of Heavenly Power are sent to the palace—"
After a short wait, a Tianquan envoy wearing a black robe quickly walked into the hall. After saluting Zhang Chutian, he raised his head and said extremely arrogantly: "I knew that your Majesty is a wise man!"
"A wise man?"
Zhang Chutian smiled slightly and said, "Tell me, how can I become wise?"
"Huh?" The envoy blinked and asked cautiously: "Has your Majesty made a decision?"
"certainly,"
Zhang Chutian stood up and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you saved your life." Before the Tianquan envoy could react, Zhang Chutian's face suddenly turned cold, "Go back and tell Zhuang Qingxiu that he has the ambition to dominate the Beidou Continent, and I have no intention of dominating the Beidou Continent."
I want to take down the Beidou Continent!"
"His Majesty!"
As soon as Zhang Chutian finished speaking, the officials in the main hall were stunned and dumbfounded. It was not difficult to see that their Majesty had made a decision that surprised them most, not to join the alliance but to join the war.
