The villain is acting as a demon again

Chapter 516
For several consecutive days after that, Huangfu Yanyu did not come to the door.

Today, bad news came from the border, which shocked the entire court and Lie Yun Kingdom.

The joint letter of the five great families of Sunset City was reported to the imperial court, and Sunset City no longer paid tribute to the imperial court, and no longer paid taxes to the imperial court.

The implication is to break away from the control of the imperial court, become an independent city, and fully grasp the autonomy.

The minister was shocked, and His Majesty was furious.

Sunset City is located at the border, at the junction of many countries, with a vast territory and prosperous commerce.

A quarter of Lieyun Kingdom's taxes come from Sunset City. If Sunset City becomes independent, Lieyun Kingdom will reduce its tax revenue by a quarter every year.

In the morning court this morning, not only several His Royal Highnesses were present, but His Highness Jin Yu was also summoned to attend the morning court.

"Your Majesty, if you lose Sunset City, you will not only lose territory and taxes, but also your relationship with neighboring countries. Sunset City borders many countries and has inherent advantages. Therefore, in my opinion, I can't agree to the request of the five great families. Send troops to take back your autonomy."

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the five great families all have private soldiers whose strength cannot be estimated. It may be inappropriate for us to send troops hastily. Why not negotiate with the five great families first to reduce the tribute and tax of Sunset City."

"Your Majesty, this remark is wrong. Even if Sunset City accepts the conditions of reducing tribute and taxes, it is impossible to guarantee that it will make progress in the future. Repeatedly asking for reductions in tribute and taxes, and then using these taxes to raise soldiers is undoubtedly indirectly strengthening the private soldiers of the major families. Seriously. threatened me."

In the hall, everyone expressed their views and discussed for a long time, but His Majesty did not express his position.

After retiring from the court, His Majesty summoned His Royal Highness Yanyu and Jinyu to the Imperial Study.

"Bei Yeting holds half of the military power in Lieyun Kingdom. If Bei Yeting is appointed to fight, and after taking back Sunset City, the army of the Beiye family will be stationed in Sunset City. The next one to rebel may be Beiyeting." Huangfu Sheng said with a heavy expression. .

"Father, no, Beiye Jiaoyang is already my son's concubine, Beiyeting loves his daughter so much, how could he rebel." Huangfu Yanyu said in a deep voice, I don't know if he doesn't believe it, or he doesn't want to believe it.

"Yan'er, does Beiye Jiaoyang love you?" Huangfu Sheng asked sharply.

"..." Huangfu Yanyu was speechless for a moment, with all kinds of perfunctory attitudes, she didn't even realize that they were an unmarried couple, and she couldn't even call them liking, let alone love.

"Yan'er, Beiye Jiaoyang is vicious, cunning, vicious and ruthless. It is not easy for her to convince you. Of course, if she can treat you sincerely, that would be the best." A flash of light flashed in Huangfu Sheng's eyes. Youguang, Ansha is the dark guard of the emperors of the Lieyun Kingdom, obeying the orders of the emperors.

Huangfu Yanyu frowned slightly, Beiye Jiaoyang was vicious and arrogant, but not vicious and ruthless, at least she saved him when he was in the sea.

"Jin'er, although Beiye Xingchen treats you sincerely, she is still a member of Beiye's family and has to be guarded against." Huangfu Cheng said earnestly.

"Father, don't worry, she is not from the Beiye family, but from me." Huangfu Jinyu's eyes could not conceal the sharpness and determination.

Ever since Huangfu Sheng issued a decree to bestow the marriage, Huangfu Jinyu's attitude towards Huangfu Sheng has become a bit more friendly.

Huangfu Sheng was surprised but also very relieved that this girl Beiye Xingchen was extremely intelligent and worthy of his son.

After Huangfu Yanyu heard this, seeing Huangfu Jinyu smiling confidently, as if mocking his and Beiye Jiaoyang's misfortune, he couldn't help feeling a little upset.
