Seeing Xiao Xuance talking freely, Zhao Kang felt happy in his heart.
Perhaps in front of relatives like himself and Xiao Linglong, this young man in his early twenties would still show some shadow of his former self.
But with outsiders, this kid can be said to be able to stand alone.
As an emperor these days, no matter whether he is contributing to government affairs or making decisions, there is nothing wrong with him.
Wu Tianhu, Gao Yuan and other Jingguo people did not expect that Xiao Xuance would say this, and they were all a little shocked.
I originally thought that now that Qian Guo had a new emperor, he might have other ideas, but I didn't expect that the new emperor was completely thinking about Jing Guo.
This made them extremely grateful. Looking at the alliance letter handed over by Xiao Xuance, Wu Tianhu took a deep breath and looked at it carefully, unable to calm down.
Many things in this alliance book were taken advantage of by Jingguo, and they seemed to be intentionally helping Jingguo develop.
He was a little surprised and couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty."
"Senior, please tell me."
"Do you really want to stipulate an alliance with our country with this alliance letter?" Wu Tianhu's eyes looked unbelievable.
Xiao Xuance chuckled, "Senior, what do you want to say, according to this alliance letter, I will suffer some losses when I work for the country? But Jingguo will take advantage?"
Wu Tianhu nodded, and Xiao Xuance said calmly, "I said before that the Alliance of Qianjing is the hard work of the Imperial Master in the past few years. It is he and Ye Hongxue who have been maintaining it continuously, and that is why our two countries are in a relationship."
"So as long as I am still the Emperor of the Qian Kingdom, I will never let this relationship change and let the hard work of the Imperial Master and Ye Hongxue go to waste!"
"As for the Qianjing of later generations, there may be friction due to the kings of later generations."
Xiao Xuance smiled and asked, "That's none of my business, right?"
Everyone was dumbfounded. Wu Tianhu shouted, "Okay! Your Majesty is so generous, so I, Jingguo, will not hesitate. When I return to my country and hand over this letter of alliance to your Majesty, our Jingguo will definitely satisfy your country."
At this time, the people from the State Guesthouse came back with the wine Zhao Kang asked for. They put a few wine glasses on the table and Zhao Kang poured the wine. Then he picked up a glass and said with a smile, "It's worth it."
“If you work hard, you will live up to your expectations.”
Wu Tianhu and others laughed, and everyone clinked glasses and drank in one gulp. Suddenly, everyone's eyes were filled with stars.
Wu Tianhu was speechless and said, "Boy Zhao, this wine! It's so strong!"
"Yes, King Wu, I feel like my chest and abdomen are on fire right now! I'm sweating all over, it's so good! Master, can you give me another drink?" Gao Yuan is also a drunkard, and now his eyes are fixed on the wine. The bottle is full of greed.
Li Yuan smiled and said, "This is Taizi wine and Sanliangye brewed by the national master. The alcohol is extremely strong and is not sold in the Qian Kingdom."
"You brat, why don't you bring out such a good thing earlier!" Wu Tianhu snatched the bottle and looked like he was going to have it all to himself.
Zhao Kang smiled and said, "This has just been made. Don't worry, there is plenty. You can drink as much as you want!"
While talking over wine, Zhao Kang also knew what Wu Guanhai meant by sending Shang Yunguan and Chen Liu here.
He immediately said, "Everyone, after my wedding, our Qian Kingdom will send troops to collect debts. How is the situation in Jing Kingdom now?"
Hearing this, Chen Liu quickly put down his wine glass and hesitated before saying, "Prince Zhao, the current situation in the country is really not optimistic. The previous war greatly reduced the domestic population. Now we have only managed to get 300,000 troops from here and there, and two-thirds of them have been cobbled together." They are all female soldiers and have never been in combat.
field."
Gao Yuan sighed and said, "Except for the 70,000 to 80,000 people who fought with us before, it can be said that the rest of the troops have little combat effectiveness. If they practice slowly for a few years, they might be okay."
"But time is running out right now. If we start fighting after spring, dragging them to the battlefield is no different than letting them die."
Chen Liu, the Minister of Household Affairs, said softly, "As for money, during this period, we officials have taken the initiative to sell some of our family assets to replenish the national treasury, and secretly went to Zhou to do some business."
"There is still some money in the national treasury. If you tighten your belt, you can spend about 1.5 million to buy food and grass."
Gao Yuan, Chen Maokai and others all lowered their heads in shame. This is what these words mean.
If Jingguo is asked to send troops to the battlefield to join the crusade, Jingguo really can't do it at the moment, so he can only spend some money to buy food and grass.
This all depends on whether Zhou and Qi will sell it. Given the current national conditions of Jing, even Emperor Wu Guanhai only eats one meal a day and sees meat only once every three days.
Not to mention the rest of the people
It was really great a few years ago, but now it is so miserable.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Kang laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, we don't need many troops for this crusade, but we need people."
Gao Yuan and others were stunned: "Is there any difference between the Imperial Master?"
Xiao Xuance smiled and said, "Of course there is a difference. What is needed is someone who can manage and govern."
Li Yuan also said, "Everyone, we have determined the wartime route. What your country will have to do is very simple."
"How do you say it?" Shangyunguan became interested.
Li Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhao Kang who was drinking and laughed, "That's our Imperial Guard. When the time comes to capture a city, our two countries will send people to take over the city until the Imperial Guard defeats the entire Qi State and Zhou State!"
Everyone in Jingguo was stunned. Are the people in Qianguo so arrogant?
Zhao Kang put down his wine glass and coughed, "Although it's a bit arrogant, it's the truth. When the time comes, just follow me and take over the city."
…
Two more days passed.
A royal palace is decorated with red everywhere, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, which is also my happy day.
Zhao Kang watched the palace servants continue to make arrangements, and felt quite emotional in his heart. He was about to start a family and start a business.
Zhang Long and others appeared in front, Zhao Kang waved, and several people ran over.
"Are you almost ready?"
Li Goudan hurriedly said, "It's almost done. We've memorized all the procedures and everything. There won't be anything wrong."
"That's good." Zhao Kang nodded.
Brother Diao chuckled, "Master, why am I so nervous when I look at you?"
"Nonsense, who wouldn't be nervous about something as big as getting married? Not to mention marrying five wives at once."
As he spoke, Zhao Kang glanced at Lin Erniu, hugged him and walked forward, "Erniu, how are you doing with the things I told you? Did it have any effect?"
"Don't worry, sir, I, Erniu, will definitely help you regain your manhood!" Lin Erniu looked serious.
Zhao Kangqi: "What kind of criticism are you talking about? Sir, when will my glory cease? There will be many opponents tomorrow, so I have to prepare well to avoid making mistakes. Tell me what good stuff you have come up with?"
Lin Erniu took out a small bottle from his bag and put it into Zhao Kang's hand, and said with a serious face, "This thing is very domineering, sir." You really give me credit!
Seeing Xiao Xuance talking freely, Zhao Kang felt happy in his heart.
