Chapter 202 The DPRK Conference
"Hahaha……"
A hearty laughter sounded in Chengqing Hall, and the King of Wei smiled. Xiao Ming unexpectedly gave him face today.
He pulled Xiao Ming aside and said, "Nephew, this Cangzhou victory, the nephew should be the first contribution, but the emperor gave you a lot of money, grain and materials, and this contribution is also some. In this court later, nephew should show mercy."
"Uncle Three Emperors, this time my father told you and me to guard Qingzhou together. This is the two of us. This is the only one who will advance and retreat together. I will not compete with the third emperor, but the third emperor will also support me later."
"Oh? Please tell me, nephew." King Wei was happy, Xiao Ming was also asking for help.
Xiao Ming smiled mysteriously, "With the intelligence of the Third Emperor, I will naturally understand it later."
As the two were talking, Feng Deshui suddenly walked in from outside the hall and shouted loudly: "The emperor is here!"
At this time, the ministers immediately returned to their positions and stood there, while Xiao Ming and the King of Wei stood in the same position as other princes.
While Xiao Ming greeted the ministers, these princes kept watching with a cold face. After Xiao Ming came, the princes politely bowed to him.
He disagreed with these princes' attitudes.
But the prince was the same. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. No wonder everyone said that this prince was unable to support the wall.
Queen Zhao was determined to win over herself for him, and the prince didn't even understand the basic etiquette.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Xiao Wenxuan sat down on the dragon throne, and everyone shouted long live.
The voice fell, and at this time Xiao Wenxuan set his eyes on Xiao Ming.
"My dear friends, I must have seen the King of Qi and King of Wei this morning. This great victory in Cangzhou has promoted our country's power and made the barbarians retreat in a panic. For decades, our Great Yu Kingdom has never had such a victory. This time, the King of Qi and King of Wei have summoned to Chang'an to pay rewards for their merits."
Xiao Wenxuan was full of energy, and his eyes looked at Xiao Ming and King Wei with a strong smile.
The King of Wei showed a gloomy face and said loudly: "Your Majesty, as a vassal king, guarding the border and defending the enemy is our inner responsibility. If the Battle of Cangzhou was not supported by Your Majesty, I and the King of Qi would not have won the current victory."
Xiao Ming glanced at King Wei and thought to himself that the King of Wei was indeed an old man. While being modest, he also praised Xiao Wenxuan.
He also said: "The Third Emperor's Uncle's words are reasonable. If the great victory of Cangzhou was not strongly supported by his father, the land of Cangzhou might have been included in the territory of the barbarians, and there would be no battle in Cangzhou, nor is there such a great victory. Therefore, the battle in Cangzhou is worse than the merit of his father. Although his father is in Chang'an, he is planning and winning thousands of miles away. The merits' respect for his father is like the surging river, endless, and the river flows eastward, and is vast..."
The ministers were all dumbfounded, and only Xiao Ming was left in the Chengqing Palace, which made people's scalp tingling flattery.
On the dragon throne, the curve of Xiao Wenxuan's mouth became bigger and bigger. Xiao Ming praised him so much that he was almost embarrassed. However, I have to say that Xiao Ming's flattery words were innovative and spoken like an article.
"Hahaha……"
Xiao Wenxuan endured it for a long time and finally burst into laughter.
At this time, Xiao Ming stopped talking and flattered him. Can King Wei’s brain have more jokes in the technology library?
The civil servants led by Cui Hao were even more uneasy. They were already shameless enough, but they didn't expect that there was one more shameless one.
The prince and the prince were all uncomfortable. Xiao Ming was ignorant before and would not say a few words of flattery. When did he become so powerful?
King Wei was stunned for a moment and gave Xiao Ming a secret thumbs up.
No emperor doesn't like to be wearing a high hat, let alone Xiao Ming gave him most of his achievements.
He said, "King of Qi, you don't have to be too humble. Although I decided this war, you fought this battle. In terms of merit, you will still be the first to be the best. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Before coming again, he and Pang Yukun and others had already discussed the reward.
Such achievements are definitely an official promotion and reward of gold and silver, but for a vassal king, it is definitely impossible to be promoted. There will not be too much gold and silver, and it is meaningless to ask for it.
The most important thing now is to prepare for future strategies. So he said: "I will report to my father, my son will not be rewarded. Although the barbarians were defeated this time, they were only a small defeat and were only a superficial injury. Cangzhou City is still dangerous in the future. If you want to protect the security of your son's fief, you can only regain Shanhaiguan. Therefore, my son is planning to drive the barbarians from Youzhou and other places out of Shanhaiguan, thereby cutting off the barbarians' way to the south. However, at this time, the father needs to answer Erchen's thing."
When Xiao Ming said he wanted to take back Shanhaiguan, the ministers immediately whispered, and many of them showed sarcastic expressions.
This barbarians are not good at attacking cities, which is well known. In addition to occupying the advantage of defending the city, this victory is also due to artillery factors.
But this is different from fighting with the barbarians on the grassland.
"Whatever you want, even if you say it, your father will agree to you." Xiao Wenxuan said. Xiao Ming's ambition made him feel very happy.
"I am going to build a cavalry called Guanning Iron Cavalry. These cavalry will appoint the people of the former Youzhou. In order to inspire these soldiers to regain the morale of their hometown, I have promised that if they can regain Shanhaiguan, they will reward their land in Youzhou." Xiao Ming said seriously.
As soon as Xiao Ming finished speaking, a person suddenly stood up from the civil servant and said, "Your Majesty, you must not. The King of Qi is sinister and he should be punished. If he agrees to the King of Qi, it means that the land of Youzhou has become the treasure of the King of Qi. In this way, the fief of the King of Qi will become the largest vassal state in the Great Yu Kingdom."
"Haha, Doctor Cui's words are really a joke. Youzhou and other places are like raising barbarians in the hands of barbarians. Even if the King of Qi can drive away the barbarians in the pass, this King of Qi is also a royal family member. Who is more important? Can't Doctor Cui tell me?"
A civil servant came out and this person sarcastically mocked Cui Hao.
"Shangshu Fang's words are reasonable. Some court officials are just unrighteous. Sometimes they really suspect that he is an official of my Great Yu Kingdom or a barbarian." Luo Quan glanced at Cui Hao and said sarcastically.
Cui Hao was trembling all over his body. He said to Xiao Wenxuan: "Your Majesty, according to the news obtained from the barbarians, the King of Qi has created a weapon called artillery. This weapon has no reason for its power. It is precisely because of this King of Qi that he will win a great victory. If King of Qi agrees to this matter, the King of Qi will be like a tiger after he captures the land of Youzhou, and his tail will not be lost."
As soon as the word "cannon" came out, all the civil and military ministers in the court looked at Cui Hao.
Xiao Ming sneered repeatedly, it turned out that Cui Hao was waiting for him here.
