"Brother, let me enter the palace with you!" Wen Nuan had something to discuss with Wen Chun.
"good!"
So the two of them hurriedly changed into court clothes and entered the palace to meet the saint.
When Nalan Jinnian was riding back, he happened to see Wen Nuan and Wen Chun dressed in court clothes and preparing to get into the carriage.
He turned over and dismounted, looked at the two of them, and raised his eyebrows: "Into the palace?"
"Well, since eldest brother is back, he has to go to the palace to plead guilty."
Wen Chun saluted Nalan Jinnian and called out: "Brother Seventeen."
Nalan Jinnian thought for a moment and knew what Wen Wen was worried about. In fact, there was no need to worry. Wen Chun came back with an order, but now Dongling Kingdom has sent troops and the border is in danger, but this was within his expectation.
And Wen Chun is back now, just in time to cooperate with his arrangements.
Recently, he saw that Wen Nuan was quite tired, and this girl was a worrier, so there were some things that he did not elaborate on with her.
"Let me enter the palace with you!" Nalan Jinnian handed the horse to the gatekeeper who was guarding the side.
Nuan Nuan shook his head: "You just came back and haven't eaten yet, you should eat first!"
Nalan Jinnian stretched out his hand to help Nuan Nuan gather his cloak: "Have you used it?"
Nuan Nuan shook his head: "Not yet."
It would be really disrespectful if Wen Chun entered the palace after eating.
"Then bring a few food boxes and go into the palace to have a meal with the emperor!"
Wen Nuan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Okay! Today's lunch just has the emperor's favorite food."
Why did she forget to bring some food to the emperor
"Bring some to the Queen Mother too! By the way, I would like to say hello to the Queen Mother."
They also left the capital soon.
"good."
So Wen Nuan quickly prepared several boxes of food, and the three of them entered the palace together.
In the carriage, Wen Chun asked Nuan Nuan carefully: "What's the situation in Dongling now?"
Wen Nuan: "The soldiers in Dongling are not as strong as our Nalan Kingdom, and my uncle is here to help. When the news came back, it was still stable. My uncle said that Dongling Kingdom was probably just testing, and they did not use all their strength to deal with it. .”
Wen Chun thought a lot in his mind for a moment, and finally came to the conclusion: "I'm afraid this is also to protect Beiming Country! If the four countries unite, they can't trust each other very much."
Nalan Jinnian helped Nuan Nuan take off her cloak, folded it, and put it aside. Then he put a hand stove in her hand and said, "This is normal."
Warmth: "There are no permanent friends or permanent enemies in this world. Even enemies can sometimes cooperate as long as they have the same interests. This is the case with the four countries now, and the same is true with our relationship with Nalan Kingdom."
Therefore, if Nalan Kingdom wants to win, if it wants to win this battle as quickly as possible, it must sow discord between the four countries, break the alliance of the four countries, and even let them bite the dog's bones.
Nalan Jinnian and her were already planning this matter.
However, even if the alliance of the four countries is broken, the determination of Beiming Kingdom and Nanjiang Kingdom to destroy Nalan Kingdom is very firm!
It is too difficult for the Nalan Kingdom to win this battle, and to win the Beiming Kingdom!
The military strength, food, silver, weapons...etc. are all less than those of Beiming!
Well, strictly speaking, the most lacking thing is money. With money, many problems can be solved.
For example, if there is insufficient military strength, the court can continue to recruit troops, but recruiting troops will cost a lot of money.
If you don’t have food, grass, weapons, soldiers’ wares, etc., if you have money, you can find a place to buy them!
In short, it requires a lot of money!
So making money is very important!
Nalan Jinnian couldn't go to the front line to kill the enemy because there were too many things that needed to be arranged!
If he doesn't arrange these backup things, the battle between Nalan Kingdom and Beiming Kingdom will definitely be ineffective!
If the four countries unite together, they can drag Nalan to death.
While the three of them were talking, they arrived at the palace gate.
Zichen Palace, Imperial Study Room
Zuo Duqian, the censor, was spitting as he spoke, while the emperor sat on the dragon chair and listened quietly.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs submitted a total of several details this morning, including a budget for recruiting troops, a budget for food and grass, a budget for weapons casting, and a budget for soldiers' pensions... The emperor's head was pounding just after reading this.
"... Your Majesty, Wen Chun, the eldest son of Duke An Guo, Lord Wen has ignored the lives of more than 100,000 people! This is a heinous crime! The crime is unpardonable!"
The Minister of Industry also echoed: "Your Majesty, our country is being invaded by foreign enemies from all directions. If all the county magistrates in the border areas are like Mr. Wen, who leave their posts without permission in times of crisis and abandon the people of the entire county, what will be the consequences? It’s really a disaster! If an official fails to act like this, if our Nalan country has more officials like him, the country will be destroyed! Your Majesty, I have to punish you severely to serve as a warning to others!"
The Minister of Industry estimated that the emperor must have known about Wen Chun's return this time. After all, King Jin and Princess Hui'an were getting married, so his return as the eldest brother was understandable.
But he is unlucky!
On the wedding day of King Jin and Princess Hui'an, he did not come back in time, so this cannot be an excuse for him to come back, and then he encountered the siege from the four countries.
This is enough to convict him of leaving his post without permission!
And it’s a grave sin!
Naturally, the Minister of Industry had to seize this opportunity and give Wen Chun a hard kick.
To be honest, the two brothers Wen Chun and Wen Hou will be the biggest stumbling block in his son's career!
The emperor nodded: "The two beloved ministers are right, but I already knew in advance that Mr. Wen returned to Beijing, so he is not considered to have left his post without permission."
"Your Majesty, as a king, you should be clear about rewards and punishments. You cannot be partial because of selfish motives. Punish when you make mistakes, and reward when you have merit. This is the way to govern a country!"
The Minister of Industry almost applauded Zuodu Qian Yushi's words!
Only people from Yushitai dare to say this.
Officials like them don't dare to say it.
The emperor's heart is really as high as the sky!
The emperor's face immediately darkened, and he said coldly: "Master Zuo, do you think I don't know how to distinguish between rewards and punishments?"
"I don't dare!"
He didn't dare to tell other officials, but for King Jin and Anguo Gong's family, didn't he have any self-awareness about whether the emperor made clear rewards and punishments
The Emperor: "Are you saying that I am a foolish king?"
"Don't you dare to lower your rank! I have absolutely no intention of doing so. Your Majesty is a famous monarch through the ages. This is also what the common people say! Your Majesty knows it clearly!"
The emperor snorted coldly: "Humph, that's good if you know! I said that I approved Mr. Wen's return to Beijing! Why, when I deal with state affairs, who should be summoned or not summoned, do I still need to report to the two adults in advance? ?”
The two of them were startled and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Wei Chen doesn't dare!"
The emperor is also impatient. Don't you know that he has many things to worry about every day
The seventeenth emperor brother now has no time to deal with this memorial. He criticizes the memorial every day and cannot sleep until midnight!
Just to suppress their colleagues, two people actually came to him and talked nonsense for a long time!
At this time, I heard them say that the emperor thought it would be better for him to go back to the dragon bed and sleep in a cage!
