Chapter 1145 Gossip
Chen Chu sat down next to Zhang Rui, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and threw it into his mouth.
Zhang Rui pouted her red lips and said jealously: "Hmph, I thought you, a bad guy, would be so happy!" Wen Yuan and Sun Ren glared at Chen Chu together. Then the three of them took away a plate of snacks on the stone table almost at the same time, looking angry.
Chen Chu quickly coaxed the jealous three girls with a "little good!" and "little heart!". After a while, the three girls finally burst into tears and smiled. Zhang Rui paused the snacks on the stone table, glared at Chen Chu, and said angrily: "Hmph, you are the nemesis of our sisters!" Wen Yuan, Sun Ren nodded deeply with conscience.
Chen Chu said softly: "Being able to get you is the luckiest thing in my life! It is also my greatest achievement! I really hope this will be the case in my next life!"
The three girls couldn't help feeling for a while. Sun Ren rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Brother, you are so greedy!" Then he said with a soft look: "But I also hope to be able to follow my brother in the next life!" Then he glared at Chen Chu viciously and said: "At that time, if you don't come to find someone, they will castrate you!" Jiaoyan couldn't help but burst into red and laughed.
Chen Chu held Sun Ren's Rouyi and asked softly: "Are you willing to give up?"
Cough cough cough~! A violent cough sounded on the side.
Chen Chu and Sun Ren, who were flirting with each other, realized that there were two people beside each other, and hurriedly sat upright.
Zhang Rui looked at Chen Chu and Sun Ren, and joked: "Sister, you are so smart! You actually thought of such a good idea!" Wen Yuan nodded with deep understanding, glanced at Chen Chu's crotch with beautiful eyes and smiled charmingly.
Chen Chu couldn't help but feel chilled, covering his crotch and said seriously: "Hey, what are you lustful girls watching? Tell you, don't beg him for attention!"
The three girls spat together and said angrily: "Hmph, do you think he is a treasure! Who cares?" The three girls couldn't help but smile with a red face, looking very charming.
The next morning, Chen Chu, who was in good spirits, came to the hall early.
After the routine morning court began, Chen Chu asked Zhou Yu: "Gongjin, your cabinet may have a proposal for the pension of the fallen soldiers in this battle of the East!"
Zhou Yu replied: "According to the standards of the code formulated by Your Majesty, a total of 6.56 million taels of silver should be issued! Since more than 10 million taels of silver were seized in this battle between Goguryeo and the Four Koreans, there is no need to withdraw one tael of silver from the national treasury!"
Most of the ministers present only heard about the amount seized today, and were shocked, looking silly. No wonder they were like this, who had ever heard that they could make money in war!
Chen Chu nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "These seizures do not need to enter the treasury. They are all used to pay tribute to the relatives and wounded soldiers of the fallen soldiers, and at the same time they are used to restore trade between Liaozhou, Yingzhou and Central Plains!"
"But Your Majesty, this is incompatible with the law!" Zhou Yu advised.
Chen Chu smiled, "This is done with a special order!" The so-called "special order" is actually a privilege of the emperor. The emperor can transcend the code to do something in the form of a special order. However, this "special order" is still subject to the cabinet. If most cabinet ministers in the cabinet do not agree with it, this "special order" cannot be passed.
Zhou Yu thought for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "Yu agrees with Your Majesty's resolution!" Then Lu Su, Zhuge Liang and others, who were also ministers of the cabinet, clasped their fists and said, "We also agree!"
"Okay! Since the cabinet ministers have no objections, then it's decided! Zijing, you are responsible for this matter!" "Yes!" The ministers in the court looked at the cabinet ministers with envy. Everyone knew that the cabinet ministers were the real important ministers who were trusted by His Majesty.
Chen Chu's eyes fell on Yang Yuejiao standing in the right column. At this moment, Yang Yuejiao was wearing a female official robe, which showed majesty and did not affect her beauty. There was still a trace of spring left in her beautiful eyes.
The two exchanged glances in a sympathetic manner.
"Mr. Minister of Commerce!" Chen Chu said loudly.
Yang Yuejiao immediately stepped out, "Your Majesty!"
Chen Chu asked: "What new things can be seen with Western business?" Chen Chu has always been very concerned about business activities with Western business because this item accounts for nearly half of the entire commercial interests.
Yang Yuejiao replied: "Your Majesty, the business activities with the West are proceeding step by step! The prospects are good! However, the caravans heading to Guishuang often encounter some troubles recently."
Chen Chu frowned, "Oh, what's wrong with the Western Regions Chief Mansion how to deal with it?"
"Our caravan has often encountered difficulties in Guishuang recently. It is not like the personal behavior of individual officials, but rather like the other party is intentional! Governor Sima has sent someone to negotiate with Guishuang many times, but the situation has not improved!"
Chen Chu turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang immediately replied: "Your Majesty, information has been sent from Gui Shuang. Gui Shuang is gathering a large army in the northwest of its country! It is said that he wants to get a piece of the pie from Anxi who is surviving! The leader is Li Pojun, the general of Zhenxi, and his troops may be around 300,000!"
Chen Chu frowned and said, "Ross' army is about to get out of Nisa. Gui Shuang dares to run to grab food at this time!"
Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Your Majesty is very true! Because the Guishuang people took difficult restrictions on our caravans, the situation in the northeast is not clear! I am worried that Guishuang's actions are the idea of fighting the Western Regions!"
Chen Chu shrank his eyebrows and suddenly stood up, and said, "Immediately put together the sand tables around the Pamir Fortress!"
The iron guard in the hall shouted and immediately took off several components from the wooden frame on the side of the hall, and soon put together the topographic maps of the Pamir Fortress and its surroundings.
Chen Chu came to the sand table, and all the ministers surrounded the sand table.
Chen Chu thought, "If I were King Guishuang, I would definitely take action when our army was in Liaodong! If so, then Guishuang's current series of puzzling actions would be reasonable!"
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Your Majesty is very much! But I don't think they expected that a battle to destroy the country would end in just a few months!"
Lu Su said: "If King Gui Shuang was not a lunatic, after learning that our army won a great victory in Liaodong, it would definitely terminate the plan, and it is unknown if it really took action against the rest of danger!"
Chen Chu nodded and ordered: "Immediately send orders Zilong and Zhongda to prepare for the battle. At the same time, the Huns' army stationed at Yumen Pass immediately enter the Western Regions!"
"Yes!" Zhou Yu agreed with his fists.
Zhuge Liang said with some concern: "Your Majesty, if the Huns legion is transferred into the Western Regions, it will probably make many people feel panic!"
Chen Chu smiled coldly, "If you are uneasy, be uneasy! To this day, the influence of our Great Qin in the Western Regions countries has extended to all aspects. The lives of the people in the Western Regions are very different from those before our Great Qin forces entered. At this time, even if there is a blind eye to the Western Regions king, I am afraid that few of their people will be willing to follow him!" Chen Chu glanced at the ministers and said solemnly: "You must remember! The people's requirements are the most practical. Whoever can give them a better life will support whoever they will support!"
The ministers showed thoughtful expressions and held their fists together to agree.
Chen Chu returned to the dragon throne and sat down.
"Zi Jing, the reserve troops of each legion cannot be delayed!" "Yes!"
"Gongjin, immediately order the First and Second Legions to be prepared to go to war at any time!" "Yes!"
At the same time, it is far away in the capital of Guishuang.
"Father, the news just came from Luoyang!" Yueduo rushed into the back garden. At this time, his father Yuezes was enjoying the flowers with his favorite concubine Shirpa.
