Chapter 129 Their thoughts

The continued drought caused the entire Da Zhao to be in short supply. If the war with Beidi again at this time, Da Zhao would probably collapse on its own.

"You all tell me what to do now!"

Zhao Qing angrily roared at the confidants below in the imperial study, and the leader was the King of Liang!

King Liang will not appear in the court again now, but because of the Blood Soul Pill, he has been qualified to enter the palace again.

But he could only enter the palace secretly, and he was still the idle prince on the surface.

"I'm waiting for death..."

Several ministers slowly bowed down, including Qian Kun, who was newly appointed as the supervisor of the Imperial Heaven Supervision Bureau.

Zhao Qing pressed his hands on the table and looked at them in a deep voice: "What I want to listen to now is not this, but how to solve the current situation!"

The current situation in Da Zhao is not good because of the large-scale grain production cuts in two years of severe drought.

This led to the rise of refugees and even local chaos began to occur.

After losing dozens of towns one after another, Zhao Qing could no longer sit still.

"Your Majesty! I have a plan!"

King Liang quickly stood up at this time, and Zhao Qing's eyes flashed: "Oh?! Let's talk!"

"I heard that Bei Di is also suffering from food and fodder now, so... Your Majesty can trade grain and fodder with him for this matter, and the iron pot will calm down the affairs of Bei Di."

Zhao Qing frowned when he heard this, and the iron pot was okay.

But Zhao himself was short of food and fodder. What should I do if I feed Beidi Dazhao himself?!

"There are many rebels now. If the Northern Di sanctions quell the emperor, he can send troops to encircle and suppress him!"

Zhao Qing snorted coldly: "Send troops to encircle and suppress?! What you said is light, how to solve the problem of the large army's food and fodder?!"

"Your Majesty! The place where the thief must be the thief's nest! Those who support the thief must be with the thief!"

At this time, King Liang whispered: "I believe that where the thieves are, they must have a lot of food and fodder!"

Zhao Qing wanted to say something at first, but then he immediately realized.

He hesitated for a moment, his face slightly gloomy.

"Your Majesty, you are just a small untouchable! If you follow my Great Zhao Tianshang soldiers to destroy the thieves, you will be a loyal minister and general who support me Great Zhao! But if you cooperate with the thieves, what will you do?!"

Zhao Qing's expression was slightly calmer when he heard this.

"All the king's land is the king's land, this world is my world! If they do not cooperate in suppressing the thieves... then they will be wiped out with the thieves!"

Seeing this, King Liang was so happy that he leaned over and bowed to Zhao Qing.

"Your Majesty is wise! In this way, it will be easier to refine the magic pill!"

When Zhao Qing heard the word "Shen Dan" and suddenly the hesitation on his face disappeared.

Hey smiled, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Zhao Qing's eyes.

"It's just right! These traitors made the divine pills, which is their last use for me, Da Zhao!"

Zhao Qing decided on this matter and began to issue an order without any hesitation.

The secret conversation between the envoys of the Northern Di was neither the other but the King of Liang.

Zhao Qing did not want this matter to be spread, thinking that this would weaken the prestige of Da Zhao.

However, the Beidi side did not care about this. Anyway, they only needed to get the actual benefits.

Since Da Zhao was willing to trade grain and fodder and iron pots, Beidi didn't mind claiming it was a misunderstanding.

Of course, these food frying pots were not given for free. Since the two parties were trading, the price must be negotiated.

After a fierce bargaining, the Beidi side exchanged a thousand war horses and 1,800 wild horses for 100,000 stones of grain and fodder and two thousand iron pots.

Although there are many war horses with a thousand war horses, food is now more important than war horses.

Besides, even with a thousand war horses, Beidi believed that Da Zhao could not send troops to the grassland.

The transaction between the two parties also confirmed something.

That is, the grassland of Beidi will retreat to the border of both sides for a hundred miles, and neither Zhao nor Beidi will send troops into this area.

Both sides only have patrol teams and randomly patrol this area.

After the agreement was reached, Beidi quickly announced that this was a misunderstanding and was very considerate. He congratulated Zhao Qing on the fifteenth day.

"Hahaha... the envoy doesn't have to be polite, sit down! Enjoy the song and dance!"

Inside the palace, Zhao Qing was very satisfied with the Northern Di envoy.

As a reward for King Liang, he appeared at the banquet in the palace for the first time.

"If you want to talk about this King Liang, you really have some skills!"

Zhao Qing sighed and looked at King Liang in the distance and raised his cup.

Xiao Yi next to him smiled and lowered his head, whispering: "The King of Liang is indeed good, but he has not prepared a surprise before His Majesty."

"Oh?! Have you prepared a surprise for me?!"

Zhao Qing looked at Xiao Yi curiously, but saw Xiao Yi lowering his head with a smile: "Your Majesty, let old slaves keep you in a hurry, Your Majesty will know."

At this time, the ministers in the audience looked at King Liang with complex eyes.

Unexpectedly, King Liang was reprimanded again, which is not good news for them.

But thinking about it, almost all the remaining members of King Liang were cleaned up during the period when he was expelled from the court.

Even if he comes back, the lonely man can't cause any trouble.

"You are also worried, after all, although King Liang is treacherous, he is of some use."

Ye Shan smiled slightly and advised his colleagues: "We are disdainful to do what we do, but King Liang can do it for His Majesty."

"It is also a merit of his Liang Wang family if he can avoid the war on the frontier."

The few people sighed, and now this is the only way.

But they didn't expect that King Liang would sit with the envoy of Beidi so bluntly.

On the Lantern Festival, the lights are as bright as day.

There are even more rare lanterns in the palace, covering the entire palace.

The ministers in the court all divided the banquets, and it was the first time that the envoys of Beidi experienced this scene.

A confusion suddenly arose, but at this time, King Liang approached the envoy of the Northern Di.

"Nuha! Don't forget what's in our agreement, it's now!"

King Liang whispered to the Northern Di envoy Nuha by toasting.

Nuha's face was a little unfavorable, but looking at King Liang's appearance, he seemed to have decided something again.

But he stood up with a glass of wine, and greeted Zhao Qing's chest from afar.

"Dear Emperor Zhao, this misunderstanding really makes the foreign ministers ashamed! Your Majesty's magnanimity makes the foreign ministers really...shamed!"

Nuha's words were extremely loud and attracted everyone's attention.

Zhao Qing was also a little curious. He was so easy to talk to now, who was still tense a few days ago?!

"Your dear, don't be too polite. I should take care of the world as Emperor Zhao!"

Zhao Qing laughed, it was a good thing anyway! Next, is it right?!

At this time, Nuha knelt down on both knees and fell to the ground.
