The King of Fortune

Chapter 52 Solving Your Worries
Hearing that Hu Ximei was there, the faces of Weizi and the others changed slightly. Although Hu Ximei was not as vicious as Daji, she was not a good man and a faithful woman.

In Hu Ximei's absence, the Son of Heaven could still remain somewhat sober. If she was present, the Son of Heaven might be influenced by her.

Fortunately, a few of us came here for the news of the victory at the border. I believe the emperor will be delighted when he hears it.

Thinking about their own concerns, the three of them went up to the Star Picking Tower one step at a time.The Zhaixing Building is the tallest building in Chaoge. It is magnificent. Standing on it and looking around, you can have a panoramic view of Chaoge's scenery, but the three of them don't have a good impression of this building.

At that time, the emperor was here to molested Huang Feihu's wife, Mrs. Jia, causing Jia to be a husband, and Huang Niangniang fell to her death one after another. These two incidents caused Huang Feihu's family to leave Chaoge City, and thus opened the business. The curtain of the battle of the week.

"My minister pays respects to the king and the empress."

Seeing King Zhou, the three hurriedly saluted.

King Zhou was expressionless, glanced at them, and asked: "You are not working in the inner court, why do you see the lonely king?"

"This is the memorandum that Deng Jiugong sent someone to send over quickly, please read it, Your Majesty."

Wei Zi took out the playbook from his cuff and presented it respectfully.King Zhou frowned, and ordered his servant to fetch it. Xiqi was a thorn in his body. He wanted to pull it out quickly, but the thorn was too deep. His hands were dripping with blood, which made him extremely depressed.

"Good, good, good! Deng Jiugong really lived up to the expectations of the lonely king. He has only been in Xiqi for more than two months, and he has achieved such an achievement. It is a reward!"

After reading the playbook, King Zhou was overjoyed, and finally restrained Xi Qi's rampant aura, and now it was Ji Fa's turn to have a headache.

Wei Zi said: "Your Majesty, Ji Zhou has been very powerful these years. She doesn't pay much attention to the imperial court. On the surface, she considers herself a merchant, but secretly she is doing great rebellious things. She established the title of a country, mobilized her troops, expanded her territory, and her ambitions are clearly revealed. , this victory really severely dampened Ji Zhou's arrogance."

King Zhou nodded and said, "Brother Wang is right, but it's a pity that Deng Jiugong only defeated Xiqi. If he can defeat Xiqi in one fell swoop and capture Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya, two rebellious officials and thieves, to sing at court, then the lonely king can rest easy."

Although King Zhou has been neglecting state affairs for more than ten years, he still has a basic political vision after sitting in the position of king for many years. It can threaten the rule of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, so the imperial court did not hesitate to spend national power to repeatedly use troops against Xiqi.

Over the years, with the rapid rise of Xiqi's power, the merchants who came and went to Chaoge also brought Xiqi's wealth and culture, so Wei Zi attached importance to Xiqi. Because of the importance, he knew Xiqi's national strength, and he couldn't help but secretly startled.

"My lord, Xiqi has many soldiers and generals. After several generations of the Ji family's hard work, their strength should not be underestimated. If you want to destroy Xiqi, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it in a short time."

Zhang Qian and Fei Lian nodded secretly, not to mention the mighty Xiqi, even Beihai Yuan Futong, it took many years for the court to completely calm down.To deal with Xiqi, one can only plan it slowly, if you act too hastily, you can only repeat the mistakes of Grand Master Wen.

King Zhou said: "The lonely king also knows, so he didn't give Deng Jiugong an order."

"Your Majesty Yingming."

"Brother Wang, Deng Jiugong highly praised Han Rong in this memorial. This Han Rong was promoted to the rank of deputy commander of the army not long ago. He has made great achievements unexpectedly. In your opinion, how should you reward him?"

King Zhou could still remember the general names of the ministers who were born in martial arts. The grandfathers and fathers of these people made great contributions to the great merchants. It can be said that they are more loyal to the great merchants than anyone else.

Over the years, he had slaughtered many ministers, but most of them were civil servants. King Zhou had no intention of doing anything to these generals.

Hu Ximei is not interested in these major national affairs. As long as the big business is not dead, she will think more about the day's wealth and honor, and care about these trivial matters.She curled her lips, stepped forward to bow to King Zhou, and said softly: "The king has important matters to deal with, and the concubine will leave first."

King Zhou laughed and said, "My beloved concubine, I will accompany you when the lonely king is done with it!"

Hu Ximei thanked them, and then stepped back. When passing by Zhang Qian and Fei Lian, she glanced at them, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.Although this woman looks like a fairy, in their hearts, she is as fearful as a snake and a scorpion.

Seeing the performance of the two, Hu Ximei showed disdain, and surrounded by the maids, she slowly went down the Star Picking Tower.

Seeing the woman leave, Wei Zi was shocked, and suggested: "Your Majesty, I still know Deng Jiugong's temperament. Since he praised Han Rong vigorously, it can be seen that Han Rong's ability is not inferior to him."

King Zhou nodded slightly, and pondered: "In this way, if Deng Jiugong hadn't conquered the west, the lonely king would not have known Han Rong's talent. Since this man is talented and has made great achievements, he should be rewarded more, so he was promoted to Marshal and competed with Deng Jiu How about Nine Fairness?"

Wei Zi said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Although the Son of Heaven is fatuous and innocent, he is not lacking in courage for major events in this area. This way of doing things can't help giving the Trinity some hope.

Fei Lian suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have something to play."

"Please tell me, sir."

King Zhou was in a good mood, and looked at Fei Lian with soft eyes, which made Fei Lian heave a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, the so-called soldiers and horses are not moved, but the food and grass go first. Since the court fought with Xiqi, each commander has brought a lot of soldiers and horses, but the food and grass are only used for half a year. Deng Jiugong spent a month on the road, Now that the war has taken another two months, I am worried that the army is running out of food and grass."

King Zhou frowned, and couldn't help looking at Wei Zi. For him, as long as the commander of Faqi was confirmed, other matters would be handled by Wei Zi and others, so he didn't know how much food and supplies the army was carrying.

Wei Zi glanced at Fei Lian approvingly, this person had been silent all the time, but his speech was to the point, he almost forgot that the army was running out of food and grass.

"Your Majesty, what Doctor Zhong said is true, Deng Jiugong's food court is probably only enough for two months."

King Zhou nodded and said: "Food and grass are the lifeblood of the army, and there is no room for loss. Brother Wang, I will leave this matter to you. Within half a month, you must raise 15 shi of grain and send it to Xiqi to reassure the army."

"The minister obeys the order."

Wei Zi was refreshed, as long as the army had enough food and grass, Deng Jiugong could rest assured to fight a protracted war with Xiqi.

"Okay, the lonely king is a little tired, you should leave first."

Once the major issue was resolved, King Zhou was no longer interested in discussing state affairs with a few people. For him, having this time would be better than being happy with the beauties.Life is short, and it is a day to be happy every day, so as not to be buried with regrets.

"Your Majesty, I have one more thing. Deng Jiugong won the battle. For the court, it is a great event for the whole country to celebrate. I implore Your Majesty to post the victory news on the east, west, north, south, and north gates to reassure the people."

As soon as Weizi's words fell, King Zhou rebuffed him: "No need, it's not that Xiqi was destroyed. Since King Gu came to the throne, the imperial court has won few battles. It has not posted victory reports, so how can we make an exception now."

Wei Zi was greatly disappointed, Zhang Qian and Fei Lian were also a little disappointed, they knew the emperor's temper, they didn't try to persuade him any more, but obediently withdrew.
