Chapter 136 Cannon Fodder Jin 19 Targeted by Slaves
*
The atmosphere in the Weiguo court hall today was particularly heavy for no other reason than this morning.
The new emperor of the Xiao Kingdom declared war on their Wei Kingdom shortly after he ascended the throne.
On the dark brick-paved hall, there were hundreds of civil and military officials waiting on both sides. The middle-aged Emperor Wei sat high on it, with a worried look on his face, and then listened to the official in the hall continue to report:
"Your Majesty, the new emperor of the Xiao Kingdom has said that if, if the Wei Kingdom does not want to be destroyed by the Xiao Kingdom's cavalry, it only needs to agree to two conditions..."
"Tell me."
Emperor Wei sighed heavily. Now that Wei Guo had just finished fighting with Da Mo, and now it was hard to shake hands and make peace, another Xiao Guo came who was more difficult to deal with.
"First, our country, Wei, needs to submit supplies to Xiao country at the beginning of every year."
The official said tremblingly, and everyone in the court understood what he said.
Prime Minister Yun was waiting aside in silence, which probably meant that Wei State was going to become a vassal state of Xiao State.
"Second..."
The official said hesitantly, then his eyes flickered to Prime Minister Yun, and then he said bravely:
"I want Yun Wu, the only daughter of Prime Minister Yun of our country!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was stunned. They could understand the first condition, but they were a little confused about the second condition.
But they also remembered that the new emperor of the Xiao Kingdom was a slave next to Prime Minister Yun's daughter.
Is it possible that the new emperor is holding a grudge because he was humiliated when he was a slave?
Prime Minister Yun had a little surprise on his face, but he still asked the official calmly.
"You want my daughter? What does this mean?"
"This... Mr. Yun, I don't know much about this. The envoy told me to send the Yun family's daughter to the Xiao Palace when necessary. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing..."
The official spoke tremblingly, and everyone fell into deep thought.
The attitude of the new emperor of the Xiao Kingdom is unclear. If he is interested in Yun Wu, the daughter of the Yun family, then they don't have to listen to his words and send Yun Wu to the Xiao Kingdom. They can directly capture Yun Wu and hold her hostage, so as to defeat the Xiao Kingdom. military.
But after listening to the spoken words, they were more inclined to believe that the new emperor of the Xiao Kingdom had a grudge against the Yun family. Now that he was enthroned as a great treasure, they were bound to sacrifice the enemies they had insulted in the past with their own hands, and then torture them.
In this case, they agreed to these two conditions, and then sent the Yun family member to him to deal with. Following the new emperor's wishes, this way the whole country of Wei could be protected.
This played into Xiao Rongjing's plan. He originally wanted to ask Yun Wu to marry him directly, but then he thought about it. Now that Yun Wu is still in Weiguo, some ministers may have the idea to blackmail her because he loves Yun Wu. .
When Yun Wu enters the Xiao Kingdom Palace, she will no longer have such worries.
"How can we push the woman out to protect ourselves? I asked you to lead the troops to fight! I hope your majesty will agree!"
General Lu with a rough voice raised his hands and said to Emperor Wei. He was a powerful general, but he was the first to stand up when all the civil servants refused to speak.
General Lu also solemnly nodded to Prime Minister Yun. He was supported by Prime Minister Yun. Now that the matter involves the daughter of his benefactor, how can he not come forward?
"Hmph, General Lu said it lightly, but have you ever thought that you can beat him but you can't beat him?"
A first-grade civil servant in a red robe spoke up and said that what he advocated was to agree to the two conditions proposed by Xiao Guo.
"We just fought with Da Mo a few days ago. Now the country's strength is exhausted and its troops are insufficient. Xiao's country is already strong. If there is a war, there will be no good fruits for Wei's country."
What the civil servant said was true. General Lu was more than capable. As a military general, he had no chance of winning this war.
"I want to hear Yun Aiqing's thoughts. After all... that is his only daughter."
Emperor Wei sighed heavily and said that he had done nothing in political affairs, let alone military strength. The only solution now was to comply with the conditions proposed by Xiao Guo.
"I hope your majesty, Rong Chen, will go back and think about it again today..."
Prime Minister Yun stepped forward and bowed his hands, but he was determined in his heart, because Emperor Wei would definitely not agree to fight with Xiao Guo.
The Xiao State is famous for its strong military strength, and the Wei State is already weak in military strength. If it wants to fight, it will definitely lose. At that time, it will not just be as simple as surrendering to the Xiao State.
After the morning court, Emperor Wei also left Prime Minister Yun to talk alone in the palace.

In the exquisitely restored boudoir in the prime minister's palace, Chun Xing had already told Yun Wu everything about Xiao Guo's declaration of war and the two conditions he proposed.
But now, the delicate daughter of the prime minister's house is becoming more and more beautiful, but her beautiful eyes are still a little dazed.
"Um...does this mean I'm going to see Xiao Rongjing?"
Chun Xing nodded solemnly, but Yun Wu's face showed no sign of rejection, and her glass-like eyes still held some interest.
"It just so happens that I haven't seen him for a long time. He never told me his identity before, lied to me and left without saying goodbye. Hmph... I have never been to Xiao Country, and I don't know if it's fun... …”
"Miss, don't think about playing around. Now he is the new emperor of the Xiao Kingdom, and he is no longer the lowly slave he used to be."
Chun Xing said quickly, looking at her inexperienced good lady with a worried expression.
Now that the young lady can't bully him, he can only bully the young lady. Chun Xing is worried that Xiao Rongjing will take the young lady to the Xiao Kingdom, perhaps in revenge for the insult he suffered when he was a slave.
Miss Qiansheng is an extremely kind-hearted person. After learning about Xiao Rongjing becoming the emperor, she will be glad that he is not dead, and she is not worried at all about whether she will be deliberately retaliated by him.
"But you also said that if you don't agree, won't there be another war?"
Yun Wu muttered, dragging her chin with one hand to support it on the table, and her long and lively eyelashes fluttered twice.
"It would be so troublesome if a fight really happened. As long as I go to Xiao Country, I will be fine..."
"Slave, it seems that what the young lady is thinking about is actually Xiao Guo's delicious and fun food."
The beautiful daughter, who was new to the world and didn't know the dangers, looked away with a guilty conscience as if she had been stabbed in her heart.
Although Chun Xing was still worried, she had to admit that the lady was right.
In the current situation, it is impossible to fight against Weiguo, and the young lady will most likely go to Xiaoguo.
I don’t know what Xiao Rongjing was doing behind the scenes...
At this moment, Prime Minister Yun's voice came from the door.
"Are you really willing to go to Xiao Country?"
Yun Wu raised her head, and then she saw Prime Minister Yun striding in wearing court clothes and an official hat.
Chun Xing bent down to salute, and Yun Wu quickly stood up from the soft couch.
"Daddy..."
Prime Minister Yun touched his precious daughter with a complicated expression. He had also heard what the master and servant had just said.
For Weiguo, it was a good thing that Ah Wu was willing to go, but for Prime Minister Yun, he was distressed and worried.
When I came back from the palace, I met a few people who were friends with Cao Guo. They were all just watching the fun.
Yesterday, he was still suspecting that his Yun family was collaborating with the enemy and treason, but today he persuaded him that in order to protect the safety of the country, he must agree to send his daughter to the Xiao Kingdom. If Yun Wu didn't go, it would be selfish. Self-interested, his face changes so quickly that he wants to kill ten of them with one punch.
With such a messy government affairs, coupled with the previous affairs of Wei Congyu and Cao Guogong, he would rather his daughter not stay in Weiguo anymore.
It's just that he was worried that if his daughter went to Xiaoguo, he would really be retaliated by Xiao Rongjing, so he had been hesitant and had even decided not to let his daughter go to Xiaoguo no matter what.
But at night, Prime Minister Yun received a secret letter from the secret guard, which was said to be written by Emperor Xiao himself. As long as Prime Minister Yun read it, he would understand.
He didn't say anything about it, and read the letter alone in the study.
When he saw the neat and strong handwriting at the beginning of the letter - "Father-in-law"? ? ?
Um...something seems a little off.
