Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but feel a trembling heart.

"What's wrong?" asked the emperor: "Have you heard of this woman's reputation?"

Yun Zhonghe looked at the row of heads on the ground, with a total of more than a dozen.

The emperor said: "These heads are all officials of grade. We sent a total of four waves of envoys, and more than 300 people were all killed. Each time she only left a few drivers driving the car to bring the heads back."

Killing more than 300 people? Is Jing Zhongyue so crazy?

The emperor said: "This woman was once a spy on the Black Ice Platform of Great Zhou, so she went to see her twice. As a result, she was killed all of them, and the people on the Black Ice Platform were killed in a particularly miserable way, and several people on the Black Ice Platform were even skinned."

Yun Zhonghe grinned.

The emperor said: "When we deal with each other, we are not afraid of the other party being greedy, nor are we afraid of the other party being vicious, nor are we afraid of the other party being vicious, but we are afraid of the other party... Crazy. Facing a madman, we are really helpless. When Yan Feng was there before, he could still restrict the Yue of the Well. After Yan Feng died, there was no one in the world who restricted the Yue of the Well."

The emperor waved and said, "Come, come and come and see."

Yun Zhonghe followed, and a map was spread on the desktop.

"This is the western desert, bordering the Kingdom of Xiliang in the west, bordering the countries of the Western Regions, bordering the Daying Empire in the north, next to our Great Zhou Empire in the south, and bordering the land in the east." The emperor said: "Most of the places here are Gobi Deserts, and deserts, but the area is very large."

Judging from the map, the entire western desert is indeed very large, with about two or three unbordered lands.

"Do you know how powerful Jing Zhongyue is now?" The emperor said: "She has almost dominated the entire western desert, and even more so. Her horse bandits have already attacked some small countries in the Western Regions, so this area is all her territory."

Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but take a breath. This... it's a total of 1.5 million square kilometers, right?

This is crazy, right!

Yun Zhonghe knew Jing Zhongyue. She had no ambition at all. She just had to just live a life, and even gave up her mind.

When she was in Riven City, Yan Feng was bound by her, and she still had a mission.

As a result, she, the Lord of Liefeng, was actually quite frustrated. At first, Yan Feng restrained her, but later Yun Zhonghe restrained her.

I didn't expect that after she completely let herself go, she would be so crazy.

It's less than two years before you conquered the western desert of 1.5 million square kilometers? How did you... do you?

"You have never seen her. This woman is crazy and is almost invincible on the battlefield. Maybe your father can compare with her." The emperor said: "But your father is not as crazy as her. She is full of a desire to destroy."

No one knows this better than Yun Zhonghe.

The emperor said: "I sent an envoy for the first time in an orderly manner, because she was a spy on the Black Ice Platform of the Great Zhou Empire after all, and all the first batch of envoys were killed, their heads were cut off and their skins were peeled off."

"Then I sent an envoy to the second time and enthroned the well Zhongyue as a marquis, but my head was still cut off."

"So I sent the third wave of envoys to enthrone the Moon as Duke, but... my head was still cut off."

"This is a madman. He doesn't give him a chance to speak at all. He beheads as soon as he meets him, and he accepts all the gifts he sends. Even her horse bandits come to rob our borders again and again."

Yun Zhonghe can imagine how bad this situation is.

The emperor said, "So I have almost given up my hope and don't plan to subdue her. Just let her expand. Because she is certainly a trouble for our Great Zhou Empire, she is also a trouble for the Great Win Empire and the Kingdom of Xiliang. The number of times she plundered these two countries is far more than our plunder of the Great Zhou."

Yun Zhonghe said: "She even robbed the Great Win Empire?"

The emperor said, "Is there anything strange about this?"

Yun Zhonghe said: "She is Yun Zhonghe's wife, and Yun Zhonghe is from the Black Dragon Platform of the Great Win Empire."

The emperor said: "It's not only that. When the horse bandit coalition forces in the western desert besieged Roulan City, the Black Dragon Platform of the Daying Empire also sent a warrior army to help. There were even rumors that Jing Zhongyue was unable to give birth at that time, and the Daying Empire sent the best female doctor to deliver her. But even so, in recent months, the horse bandits in Jing Zhongyue have robbed the Daying Empire hundreds of times, burned, killed and looted countless times."

I... my god, what is Jing Zhongyue trying to do? He is so crazy about robbing the Great Win Empire?

The emperor said: "So the person who has the most troublesome thing about the well is not our Dazhou, but the Daying Empire and the Xiliang Kingdom."

Yun Zhonghe looked at the map and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, is this the Kingdom of Xiliang?"

The emperor said: "Yes."

Yun Zhonghe said: "So big? The territory of the Xiliang Kingdom is larger than that of our Dazhou and Daying Empires, and it is even the total territory of the two countries."

Judging from the map, the Kingdom of Xiliang is really a super behemoth. Although there is no intercontinental statement in this world, the Kingdom of Xiliang is indeed a super empire spanning two continents.

The emperor said: "The Kingdom of Xiliang is actually a despicable name for our Eastern Empire to it. Because the place where it became famous was Liangzhou of the Great Yan Dynasty, we called it the Kingdom of Xiliang. When it interacted with our Eastern Empire, it was called the Great Western Empire, and it called itself the King of Kings, and it ranked Daxi and Daxia, so it did not take Daying Empire and our Great Zhou seriously."

Yun Zhonghe instinctively remembered decades ago, when the Xiliang Kingdom was at the city, the Southern Zhou Empire had to marry Princess Lanxi to the King of Xiliang as his concubine, and he had to pay tribute to gold, silver and silk cloth every year. That period of history was a great shame.

After that, Emperor Tianyan worked hard to govern and revived the Southern Zhou Dynasty. It took decades to build the Great Wall in the Western Front to defend against the cavalry of the Western Liang Kingdom. Since then, the war between Southern Zhou and Xiliang has gradually subsided.

Even in the past twenty or thirty years, countless people in the Great Zhou have forgotten the Kingdom of Xiliang.

The emperor said: "When the father was implementing the strategy of going south, the Kingdom of Xiliang was also implementing the strategy of advancing westward, destroying countless small countries in the Western Regions, and the territory doubled and the population doubled. Therefore, the focus of the entire Kingdom of Xiliang has gone westward, and it is roughly in peace with our Great Zhou."

The emperor was kind-hearted throughout the whole process, as if every word was heart-warming with Ao Yu.

"The imperial examination and palace examination are about to begin. With your talent, you must be in high school, so you will soon become my humeral minister." The emperor said: "In addition, you have a special status, so you will be indispensable in my Great Zhou Dynasty in the future. Your father Ao Xin is invincible on the battlefield, and even when he was the Great Protector of the Southern Region, he did a very good job. But he is too straightforward to deal with the complex struggles in the court. You are different, and your talents in all aspects are amazing, so I have great expectations for you."

Yun Zhonghe bowed and said, "Student thanks Your Majesty for his respect."

The emperor smiled and said, "Let's talk about Jing Zhongyue, this is a lunatic, but it's more of a trouble for the Xiliang Kingdom and the Daying Empire. I had already given up, but... your father's illness has been delayed."

"Oh..." the emperor sighed, "Your father has made an extraordinary contribution to my Great Zhou. He is the empire's jade pillar. He is also in his prime. How can I bear to leave us like this? This tuberculosis is a terminal illness and there is no cure. But Yun Zhonghe, the amazing genius, has developed a magical medicine, which can cure this tuberculosis. I have told you before that I have negotiated with the Daying Empire more than once, and I am even willing to use the Fourth Prince to win the formula for that magical medicine. The Emperor of the Daying Empire also wrote to me personally, saying that he also admires the heroic hero of General Ao Xin, but after Yun Zhonghe died, this prescription was indeed lost. Even if the prescription is still useless, it still cannot be developed."

The emperor continued: "Actually, the whole world knows that the magical medicine was extracted from rotten watermelons. But how should it be refined? There is no way to find a way. There are hundreds of people in our Dazhou Taishang Hospital. After two years, all failed and there is no hope of success. Now, there is only some magical medicine left in Jing Zhongyue in the whole world. So the only hope to save your father is in Jing Zhongyue, but she is a lunatic."

Yun Zhonghe said, "Your Majesty, I'll go!"

The emperor said, "This is a crazy woman. I really don't want to send you there. He killed hundreds of people I sent. If you go there, she will kill you directly without saying a word. What should I do? But I really have no choice. First, Ao Xin is your father, and second, Ao Yu, you are extremely smart, and maybe you have a way to deal with this woman."

Can Ao Yu not go? Of course not. The Great Zhou governed the country with filial piety, and even if it was broken into pieces in order to save his father, he would go. If Ao Yu did not go, then what else would you have to be the dream-entrusting person of the Supreme Emperor?

So the emperor is also an open conspiracy.

Emperor Wan Yun took out a key, opened a drawer, and took out an imperial edict from it.

"Open and take a look."

Yun Zhonghe said: "Your Majesty, is this suitable for students?"

Emperor Wan Yun said: "There is nothing inappropriate."

Yun Zhonghe opened the imperial edict, and the above content is very simple:

Emperor Chengyun, the emperor of Tian Chengyun, issued an edict to enthrone the King of the Zhou Empire in the well, and was honored by this.

Yun Zhonghe was shocked and looked at the emperor.

The Jing Zhongyue was crowned as the King of Zhenxi?! At that time, in the unparalleled land, the Daying Empire was only crowned as the Marquis of Liefeng.

There is only one person in the entire Great Zhou Empire who has a different surname and is named King Shi Bian of Zhenhai. Is he going to be named the second one now?

The emperor sighed: "The title of kings of different surnames has always been the source of chaos. It is really fate. The two titles of kings of different surnames of my Great Zhou Empire are related to your Ao family."

Yun Zhonghe quickly bowed and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty must not be, you must not be. The students and their families cannot bear the emperor's kindness of the emperor."

The emperor said, "What's the solution? I used to be the Duke of Yuezhongjing, but she killed all the mission without saying a word. Now the king can always satisfy her."

Yun Zhonghe cried and said, "Your Majesty, please take back Cheng's orders. My father will naturally be saved. I am willing to go to Roulan to see the well Zhongyue, but Your Majesty will enthrone her a duke and be crowned with the king. It is absolutely necessary to do so."

The emperor said: "This move is certainly to save your father, but it is also for the benefit of my Great Zhou Empire. Jing Zhongyue's sphere of influence is equivalent to two or three unparalleled lands. Once she is loyal to my Great Zhou Empire, it will be like a tiger. Even nominal allegiance is of great benefit, so this matter is settled."

"As for your order, thank your Majesty for your kindness."

The emperor said, "Then are you going to follow this errand?"

Yun Zhonghe said: "I'm going to go."

"Okay." The emperor said: "At the morning meeting tomorrow, this matter was settled."

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The next day, Ao Yu was in court and shocked the civil and military officials again.

Ao Yu, what are you planning to do? Yesterday you showed your might and forced the emperor to issue a self-destruction. Are you here again today?

At the beginning, the court meeting was discussing disaster relief in Langzhou.

After all, it’s all about money, but you don’t have money.

The Ministry of Revenue roughly estimated a number. In the two major disasters in Langzhou, at least two million people were homeless. If you want to resettle these victims, you will need at least four million taels of silver.

If you want to rebuild Langzhou and rebuild your home, and build Langzhou wharf, you will need millions of taels of silver.

The treasury has been deficit. After the emperor's private treasury has taken out millions of money for the last time, he can't afford it now.

The tens of millions of taels of silver were not available at all. The emperor was furious and shouted: "Are you just watching these two million victims starve to death? Are you dying of illness? That is, Zhou Li is the people's hearts, and the situation over there can still be sustained? When you can't hold on, these million victims will disperse, will it lead to civil rebellion?"

"I am squandering my food here, and I can stop other major events in the empire for a while. The most important thing now is disaster relief. No matter what method you use, I will raise five million taels of silver for me within one month and ten million taels within five months."

Suddenly, the Minister of Revenue knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, even if you kill me, you can't bring out so much money. Even if you kill all the officials of the Ministry of Revenue, you can't bring out."

The emperor looked at Prince Su and said, "Da Zongzheng, your Zongzheng Mansion was originally just a group of institutions that governed the royal family and the nobles. But in the 25th year of Tianyan, his father assigned the Maritime Department and some of the weaving departments to your Zongzheng Mansion. You have mastered most of the royal family's industries, and raising money is not only the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, but also yours."

Prince Zhengsu of the Great Zong came out and bowed: "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor is unparalleled, so in the past few decades, he has indeed saved a rich family fortune. His Majesty's inner treasury had more than 50 million taels at the most. However, after the war with the Daying Empire and the construction of the Jinzhou defense line, our Great Zhou Dynasty has summoned more than 400,000 troops in the past two years. General Fu Yantu's army of 200,000 troops went south and allocated them to Langzhou for disaster relief. Langzhou Port had no grain for several months. Not only was the national treasury not enough to make ends meet, but even the inner treasury was the same."

"Even my inner treasury can't make ends meet?" the emperor said coldly.

Prince Su said: "Since the forty years of Tianyan, the military expenses of the Imperial Guards, the expenses of the Imperial Guards, and the military expenses of the Imperial Guards were all spent from His Majesty's inner treasury. Before, when the trade in Langzhou Port was normal, it could still be balanced and had a slight surplus. However, all the income of Langzhou Port was cut off, so I was really a clever man who could cook without rice."

The court meeting spent the whole morning discussing how to raise funds, but there was no result.

This is a huge amount of tens of millions of taels, and I really can't take it out.
To be continued...
