"Liu Ji, the envoy of Yanlong Kingdom, pays homage to Emperor Chu!"
"Envoy Liu is alive. Why did you come to Chu this time?"
"Liu Ji is here to deliver my imperial documents to Emperor Chu, and to hope that Emperor Chu will lead his strong generals to the Yanlong Kingdom to participate in the selection of eighteen generals!"
"Selection of eighteen generals?"
Upon hearing this, all the officials in the Golden Palace looked eager to try. Chu Feifan glanced at the generals and felt the strong fighting spirit in them. He suppressed the smile on his lips and a determined cold light burst out from his eyes.
"With such a strong general, why worry about not being able to defeat the troops of the four countries?"
At the end of the morning court, Chu Feifan took Liu Ji and Zhao Yun to walk in the back garden of the palace. Liu Ji and Chu Feifan chatted together. From time to time, his eyes flashed with gleams, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"The Emperor of Chu was so young and had a deep and terrifying mind. He lurked in the abyss, but one day he would soar across the world."
"Mr. Liu, how do you view the current war situation on the mainland?"
"The world is in chaos, the great powers are separatist, and the kings of all countries have the desire to become emperor. The entire War Continent can be divided into two types of people: those who treat the people well, follow the orders of heaven, put the people first, have good intentions and want to serve the people of the world
Those who do nothing are lawless, regard the lives of the people as trivial, tyrannically amass wealth, seize the beauty of the world, and are full of ambition, but they are just strong on the outside and weak on the inside, and will never achieve hegemony forever."
"Then, sir, am I the former or the latter?"
Hear the words.
Liu Ji had a slight smile on his face, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was calm: "The reputation of Emperor Chu has spread far and wide, and the people of Chu land praise him. Now Emperor Chu is the former. As for the future, Bowen will not dare to speak nonsense!"
Liu Ji knew in his heart that the Chu State was only an eighth-level empire and was developing rapidly. Chu Feifan was diligent in government, loved the people, and treated the people well. However, if the Chu State unified the world in the future, he really did not dare to guess what would happen to the Chu Emperor.
After all, human desire is endless, and so is the emperor.
War Continent has developed to this point. The monarchs of every country have the long-cherished wish to dominate the world, and there are many real careerists among them. Whether the Chu Emperor can sweep across the world and unify War Continent, Liu Ji dare not make any conclusions.
"Mr. Liu has a quick mind and a long-term vision. He lives in a seventh-level country. I have one thing I would like to ask you."
"Please tell me, Emperor Chu. Bowen is so lucky to have a chat with Emperor Chu today!"
"Right now, the Chu State is in a dangerous situation. The four surrounding countries are watching eagerly, and they may send their troops to attack Chu at any time. If you are the supreme leader, what will you do with the current national power of the Chu State?"
"War, only one battle can solve the crisis of Chu State!"
"oh!"
Chu Feifan's expression was startled, his eyes flashed. He did not expect that Liu Bowen would actually propose a war, which coincided with his own thoughts.
"Sir, please let me know what you mean!"
"It took less than a year for Emperor Chu to transform Zi Chu into Chu. He used the method of supporting war with war. This method is still suitable for Chu State!"
"Everything in the Chu Kingdom is waiting to flourish, while industry, agriculture, and commerce are in decline. Only the military industry is strong. Therefore, if the Chu Kingdom is to be in an invincible position, the only way to defeat the threat of the Four Kingdoms is to fight to the end."
"The Emperor of Chu pardoned the people's vassals, expanded the city, introduced merchants and travelers, and opened official channels. All of these required a large amount of gold and silver. Chu State had no source of tax revenue to meet all these needs and could only seize it from other countries."
Chu Feifan's heart was calm. Liu Ji came to Chu State for just a few days, and he actually understood Chu State so clearly, which is enough to show that this person is observant and attentive.
"After listening to Mr.'s words, I suddenly became enlightened and learned a lesson!"
"Bo Wen's words are just to express his personal thoughts. As the king of a country, the Emperor of Chu should consider the wishes of the people of the world and the officials in the court. After all, the affairs of the four kingdoms are related to the safety of the Chu country and cannot be concluded by Bowen's arbitrary words.
.”
"Neither humble nor arrogant, neither arrogant nor impetuous!"
Chu Feifan murmured a few words to himself, expressing his love for talents. At present, Liu Ji could only be on par with Xuan Ling and Di Renjie. If such a capable minister could stay in the Chu Kingdom, he would be even more powerful than a tiger.
"Mr. Liu, I was just busy chatting with you, but I haven't asked you yet. When will the selection of generals for the 18th war start? What are the benefits of winning?"
Chu Feifan has always been unwilling to leave early without any benefit. Although he is not interested in the position of Yanlong Kingdom's consort, if there are other generous rewards, he is still very happy to participate.
"Emperor Chu, the selection for the Eighteenth Battle is scheduled to start in half a month. The winner is not only a symbol of status, but also can enter the Yanlong Kingdom's armory to choose a weapon that is handy, and the biggest temptation is
Emperor Chu must have known in his heart that if one of the winners can win the favor of the Seventh Princess, he will become the consort of the Yanlong Kingdom."
"The seventh princess, the consort of the Yanlong Kingdom?"
"I have no interest at all in becoming the Prince Consort of the Yanlong Kingdom. From what I heard, sir, it seems that this selection of eighteen generals is not very attractive."
Liu Ji looked serious and smiled: "The words of Emperor Chu are wrong. My emperor has no children. There are seven princesses in total. The emperor only favors the seventh princess. Everyone in the world knows that if you get the seven princesses of Yanlong, you will get it."
A land like the Flame Dragon Kingdom."
"Oh, is there anything else you can say?"
Chu Feifan guessed that this time the Emperor of the Yanlong Kingdom held a selection of eighteen generals, and selecting a prince-in-law for the seventh princess was probably just one of the purposes. The Yanlong Kingdom must have other secrets that no one knew.
"Don't worry, sir. I hit it off right away. I will never embarrass you. I will personally take people to Yanlong to participate in the selection of the eighteen generals."
"With Emperor Chu's words, Bowen is relieved!"
"We will meet again in Yanlong Imperial City in half a month. By then, Bowen will definitely do his best to show his kindness as a landlord and show Emperor Chu the beauty of Yanlong Kingdom."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Chu Feifan knew that it was absolutely impossible to keep Liu Bowen by his side now. As a minister of Yanlong, he could not stay in the Chu Kingdom for no reason. If this happened, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction with the Yanlong King.
After Liu Ji was sent out of the palace, Chu Feifan asked Xiao Guizi to inform the generals to come to the imperial study to discuss politics.
Half a month later, the eighteen generals of the Yanlong Kingdom will be selected. Even if the distance between the Chu Kingdom and the Yanlong Kingdom is accelerated, it will take at least five days. Therefore, Chu Feifan decided to finalize the matter of sending troops to attack the Four Kingdoms before going to the Yanlong Kingdom.
.
In the royal study.
Chu Feifan turned his back to the palace door and stared at the map in front of him like a torch. Xiao Guizi's voice suddenly came from behind: "Your Majesty, the generals have arrived. Do you want to let them in?"
"boom!"
Chu Feifan turned around, put the imperial pen in his hand on the wooden desk, and raised his head: "Let everyone come in, I'm waiting for them?"
moment.
Bai Qi, Ran Min, Qin Qiong, and Huo Qubing followed the generals to the imperial study. After the generals clasped their fists and saluted, Chu Feifan motioned for them all to sit down.
"The generals have been staying in the imperial capital for a long time. Do you know that the surrounding four countries are moving and want to send troops to attack Chu?"
