Golden Age Of Phoenix: Tyrant’s First Class Virtuous Imperial Concubine

"The emperor seems to be waiting for someone to fight this battle."

After saying this, the entire study suddenly became quiet.

Nan Yan raised his head and saw Zhu Feng also looking at her, his eyes flashed for a moment. At that moment, many emotions seemed to flash past, but it was also fleeting, and the only recognizable expression on his face was It was a faint smile on the corners of his lips slightly raised.

This smile made the quiet atmosphere less oppressive.

Nan Yan said subconsciously, "Your Majesty?"

Zhu Feng said: "Okay, don't eat or sleep, you won't have anything to eat if you don't speak, right? Eat!"

After speaking, he lowered his head and ate to himself.

Nan Yan frowned.

Saying nothing about eating and sleeping, the two of them have never taken this sentence seriously over the years, and there are times when they quarrel while eating.

Nan Yan looked at him for a while, and seeing that Zhu Feng had made up her mind to ignore her, she pursed her lips, but didn't say much, and lowered her head to eat.

But there was one thing in Nan Yan's heart - Zhu Feng did not intend to direct this battle himself.

At least he won't rush into the war like he did when he was in Shazhou Guard.

Moreover, he was indeed waiting for someone.

In the early morning of the next day, the convoy of the monarch of the Yue Kingdom stretched for several miles and slowly drove into Doubei Town. This town, which was originally unsettled because of the war, has been completely turned into a focus of attention.

Apart from the officials with gloomy faces and unhappy hearts who followed Li Wushang, the one that made Chen Wenxiao happy the most was the food and grass.

After Chen Biri's death, in order to hide from the public, Li Wushang defined his and Chen Wenxiong's deaths as dying for the country. Although everyone didn't understand, how can two people who died in their own house be considered to be dying for the country, but the people have already died. In addition, their only Chen Wenxiao was attached to the new monarch, so it would be hard to say anything extra. The Chen residence fell directly into the hands of Chen Wenxiao, and it became a temporary residence for the monarch to supervise the war.

Although the time was tight, Chen Wenxiao also arranged the place to be very gorgeous and comfortable.

He originally thought that this was the loyalty and attention he showed when he received the monarch for the first time as a minister with great achievements, but after Li Wushang came, he could not help wrinkling when he saw the gorgeous decoration of the mansion. He raised his brows, coughed lightly, sat on the chair of the council hall, and said solemnly: "In the future, these gorgeous decorations will not be necessary. In Daluo City, I found that the waste of extravagance in the palace is also very serious. If it is like this, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, it will never be defeated.”

Chen Wenxiao immediately said: "Wei Chen is guilty."

Li Wushang waved his hand lightly.

After he ascended the throne, he killed several ministers, and also killed many big households in the country. He was also full of complaints. Among the civil and military officials, there were many people who were dissatisfied with him. Now, he still has to win over this man who has made a great contribution to himself. There are also heavily armed ministers.

So, without saying too much of the rebuke, he asked directly: "I have read the battle report you sent a few days ago."

Chen Wenxiao lowered his head and said, "Wei Chen is incompetent."

Li Wushang looked at him for a while, and said: "The food, I have brought you here, but this has already emptied the national treasury. You should know in your heart that the troops here consume tens of thousands of stone of food a day. Leaving aside the situation in the Yan Kingdom, there will be trouble in the country."

Chen Wenxiao immediately said: "Wei Chen understands that the war here is very important, so after Wei Chen led the army, he launched several battles, but the Yan Kingdom—"

Li Wushang said, "They are making a little trouble with you?"

"Yes,"

Chen Wenxiao's face was gloomy and he said, "Wei Chen thinks that they did it on purpose."

"How to say?"

"Every time the Wei ministers are well-prepared and start a war, they often stay behind closed doors. Even if they come to fight, they are only perfunctory, the losses on both sides are not large, and even dozens of people are killed or injured in a battle; however, when When Wei Chen was in truce, they would send troops to provoke. But when we went out to fight, they retreated very quickly."

"…"

"This situation has been maintained for more than half a month."

"…"

"That's why food is consumed so quickly."

Li Wushang originally knew the situation here, but when he heard Chen Wenxiao say this, the darkness in his heart deepened.

He said, "What do you think of Yan Guo's actions?"

Chen Wenxiao looked up at Li Wushang, and after a while, he said softly, "Wei Chen suspects that they are doing this to consume our food. Wei Chen thinks that they even--even know that our country is short of food."

Li Wushang's breath was suffocated.

Now, the most serious problem pressing on him is not the war in front of him, but the food problem, and the origin of the food problem has always made him very uneasy.

Now, Chen Wenxiao's words seem to have completely poked open the layer of window paper he didn't dare to pierce.

Yan Guo knows this, so he has been attacking this precisely.

But-

Seeing that Li Wushang's eyebrows were twisted into a pimple, his face was so gloomy that even the candles in the room could not light up. Although Chen Wenxiao was considered his confidant minister, at this time, he was also caught by the new monarch. The deep breath made it hard to breathe. However, what should be said still has to be said, he said softly: "It's just that Wei Chen is not sure, why would they know."

"…"

"In the past ten years, they have been the ones who have brought food here. It was not until this time when Xiahou Jiu sent troops that they cut off the food supply."

"…"

Li Wushang was silent for a long time before he said, "There is no need to mention this."

Chen Wenxiao looked up at him: "Huh?"

Li Wushang said: "Whether they know it or not, now that things have come to this point, the only thing you have to do is to win this battle for me. I brought all the civil and military officials because I was afraid that the frontline battle would change. , they will talk nonsense in the court. But now, all the people have arrived in Doubei Town, and there are hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at you, you can't lose."

"…"

"If you and I want to stand firm, we must win this battle."

Chen Wenxiao immediately said: "Wei Chen understands."

"…"

"This time, Wei Chen must succeed in the first battle."

Li Wushang said solemnly: "I have been by Zhu Feng's side for fifteen years, and I know his methods very well. If you want to fight this battle with him, he will definitely be fully prepared to welcome you here. A battle. It's just that we have no way out this time. We won't be afraid to fight, but we are afraid of losing."
