Chapter 293 He slandered me
Fairy Meiyan rolled her eyes at him and kissed him again.
Shen Changgong smiled, knowing that the matter was settled.
"Okay, I promise you, but from now on, we will be living in two different places. I'm in Shengjing, and you're in Yanjing, which is over a thousand miles apart..."
"I'm not leaving. I'm staying in Shengjing and not going anywhere."
"Hmm? The imperial court is in Yanjing, and you're staying in Shengjing instead of going back? Are you planning to establish your own government?"
"Haha, that's impossible. I won't betray Your Majesty. It's the imperial court that wants to move the capital from Yanjing to Shengjing.
Move from outside the Great Wall to inside the Great Wall."
"Huh? Why is that? The capital of Dayan hasn't changed in over a hundred years. Why are they moving the capital?"
Shen Changgong said,
"Have you seen a map of the world? Our Great Yan is located in the bitterly cold northeast, north of the Nanguan Pass in Yaoguan Town.
When we say "out of the pass", we mean going to Kun Country, but apart from us, the other eight countries refer to us as "outside the pass".
The whole world is to our south. If we want to unify the world, we must move the capital to the south.
Firstly, it allows us to dispatch troops nearby, and secondly, it will be easier to manage after unifying the country in the future.
Yanjing is too far away and cannot radiate to the whole country, so it is no longer suitable to be the capital.
Wherever the capital is, the central army is there.
After moving to Shengjing, it will be more convenient for us to attack southwards.
I have discussed this matter with the Southern King and have also written to His Majesty. Once we capture Shengjing, we can prepare to move the capital."
Fairy Meiyan nodded in surprise.
"I see. You have so much to consider. Not only do you have to think about the war, but you also have to think about state affairs and politics. It's really hard."
"As I said before, some things have to be done by someone. My goal is to unify the world, to make it so there is no more war, to allow the people to live and work in peace, and to create a peaceful and prosperous era.
The success may not depend on me, but I must be part of it."
Listening to Shen Changgong's heroic words of sacrificing himself for the world, Fairy Mei Yan looked at him infatuatedly, her heart almost melting.
This is her man, a great king with ability, ambition and ideals.
When passion is deep, passion comes naturally. Fairy Meiyan fiddled with it for a while, then sat down.
"Huh? Are you still coming?"
……
The next morning, the Yan army returned home and only sent 5,000 people to attack Dingcheng in the south.
Obviously, in Shen Changgong's view, these Kun Kingdom rangers can cause greater damage than the Kun Army.
On the way, Fairy Meiyan said to Shen Changgong,
"I still have to go back. Time waits for no one. The information about the Yan-annihilating Society in China has been obtained through torture. I have to send the information back and wipe out those people.
Then I have to discuss with Li Xuan about moving the Wulin Alliance here.
Regardless of whether he moves or not, our Jiutian Tower must move, and it won’t work without me, the owner of the tower.
The task you have entrusted to me is a huge responsibility, and I must do my best."
Shen Changgong nodded and said,
"This is the only way. In the martial arts world, there are many people who consider themselves noble and are unwilling to associate with the imperial court, especially Li Xuan.
This guy is so lazy that he would be unwilling to take charge of anything.
Do your best and try to persuade them more, but there is no need to force or compel them. What I want is people who work for me sincerely.
Let them choose whether to continue to be carefree wanderers or to earn a salary in an honest manner and hold their heads high as human beings.
"Okay, then I'll go back today."
"It will be dark by the time we get back. Why are you in such a hurry? Leave tomorrow and take your people and Zuo Sanhe with you. I will send another cavalry team to escort you back."
"You don't need to escort me."
"obedient."
Suddenly, Shen Changgong looked at Fairy Meiyan and asked,
"Ma'am, I've known you for so long, but I still don't know your name."
Fairy Meiyan rolled her eyes at him and said,
"Then what have you been calling me? Isn't it Fairy Meiyan?"
"I mean your real name. Where are you from? Where do you live? Are there any other people in your family?"
"My name is Meiyan. I don't have a name, and I don't even know who my parents are. My master adopted me when I was little.
She gave me the name and passed the position to me after her death."
"Uh, okay, that sounds nice."
……
Shengjing, early morning court.
After Feng Chang returned yesterday, he hurried into the palace and met the queen in the imperial study.
The queen's face became increasingly haggard, pale and bloodless, looking pitiful.
But he is still trying his best to deal with memorials and state affairs.
After he recounted the conditions proposed by Prince of the South Ma Ling, Queen Tang Xinyi sighed, thinking that this matter was too big and it would be better to discuss it with the court officials.
The Yan army gave them three days, so there was no rush and it was not worth calling in officials from various government offices.
Now, the morning court begins.
Fengchang stood up and carefully repeated the conditions proposed by the King of the South yesterday without any exaggeration.
Upon hearing this, Censor Zhang Qiong flew into a rage and stood up and said,
"Your Majesty! The Yan thieves are going too far. They're not asking for compensation, they're trying to break our backs and dig up our roots!
This is a naked humiliation by the Yan thieves. It is trampling the dignity of our Kun country underfoot.
If we agree, the Kun people will never be able to hold their heads up again and will automatically be inferior to the Yan people.
There will be endless humiliation in the future!
"My Lady, you must not agree to this, you must not agree to this, we must fight to the death, we must fight to the death!"
Zhang Qiong has always been a staunch advocate of war. Some time ago, he took over the military power of the central army. Under his leadership, the Kun army consolidated the city defense, paid full military pay, improved food, and prepared for battle, determined to fight the Yan army to the death.
But now, they want to negotiate peace. Not only that, but the conditions are so humiliating. How can he agree to it?
Soon, Fang Lu, a third-rank doctor of Kun State and a special undercover agent of Yan State, stood up and said loudly,
"Master Zhang is wrong. If we can buy peace with money, why fight? Negotiating peace can preserve the prosperity of our great kingdom, the lives of the Empress and His Majesty, the lives of the royal family, the civil and military officials, and the people of the entire city.
Why not? "
Zhang Qiong roared angrily,
"Shut up, you cowardly traitor, how much money did the Yan people pay you to speak like that?"
Zhang Qiong hit the nail on the head. Fang Lu felt particularly guilty, but he knew he couldn't show it, so he shouted even more angrily,
"You're slandering me! I'm suing you for defamation. Do you have evidence to prove I accepted money from the Yan people? How can you falsely accuse an official of the imperial court?"
"He slandered me, he slandered me!"
Zhang Qiong shouted angrily,
"I don't know whether you accepted the money or not, but it's true that you're afraid of death. If you're afraid of death, you can surrender to the Yan army. I'd rather die standing than live on my knees!"
I, the great Kun, do not have people like you who live in disgrace!"
