Chapter 242: Aims at the World
Qian Hui, the emperor's minister, immediately understood the emperor's implication. They had discussed the opportunity to unify the various grassland tribes. That is, to take advantage of the moment when the grassland tribes became strong again and defeat the ambitious grassland tribes in one fell swoop, especially the new king of the Beinar tribe - Najide Ying. He was a hero on the grassland. Not only did he have strategic talent, but he was also very brave and good at winning people's hearts.
I believe that after these years of recuperation and continuous development and growth of the Beinar tribe, Nanajid Eagle has long been unwilling to be just a king of Beinar. So they just need to keep a close eye on the Beinar tribe, and when the Beinar tribe makes any move, they will counterattack and defeat them!
Qian Hui looked at the Shenwu Emperor on the high platform, stepped out and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Dasheng Dynasty and the six Xisha countries have signed a letter of credence. As long as they can guarantee their invincibility among the Xisha countries, Dasheng can borrow troops from the six Xisha countries at any time. As for the tribes on the grassland, I have never relaxed my efforts. As long as Your Majesty gives the order, I will put on my military uniform and flatten the grassland for Dasheng and Your Majesty!"
In the Golden Palace, as Qian Hui's voice fell to the ground, you could hear a pin drop.
The Shenwu Emperor's phoenix eyes were bright: "Okay! This is what I want to hear!"
After the court session, Emperor Shenwu directly summoned important civil and military officials to the Qianzheng Hall to discuss matters.
Addressing his important civil and military officials, Emperor Shenwu spoke directly, "My lords, be prepared for danger in times of peace! The grassland tribes are growing stronger and stronger, and have already set their sights on the Dasheng Dynasty. And what about you? You are still meddling in my household affairs, worrying about whether a few women can enter my harem, and whether they receive my favor! My lords, if the wolves and tigers of the grasslands attack our Dasheng Dynasty soon, what will you do? How will you respond?"
The military commanders all looked at His Majesty with gleaming eyes, rubbing their hands in anticipation, while the civil officials had grave expressions. They exchanged glances, and after a moment, the Imperial City Governor, Lin Suzhi, stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, does this Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains map depict the territories of the various grassland tribes?"
Lan Shuren looked at the magnificent landscape of rivers and mountains with vast waves and picturesque scenery, and suddenly realized that the emperor had long intended to take over the whole world!
As expected, the Shenwu Emperor spoke condescendingly, word for word: "I—my intention is to rule the world!"
Emperor Shenwu's preparation to launch military action against the grassland tribes was like dropping a huge rock at the imperial court, leaving all the civil and military officials dizzy and unable to recover.
After a few days, something happened in the harem. The fifth princess died of illness. Her mother was a minor noble lady. She could not bear the blow and was bedridden.
Emperor Shenwu ordered the deputy chief eunuch Li Zhongche to investigate the matter, but he did not find anything special. The fifth princess died of a serious illness.
Lan Qingwu wanted to visit the Fifth Princess's palace, but Emperor Shenwu stopped him. He went to see the Fifth Princess for the last time and then returned to Fengqi Palace.
In Fengqi Palace, Emperor Shenwu sat quietly on the concubine's couch without saying a word.
All the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall retreated. Lan Qingwu walked gently to the side of Emperor Shenwu. She stretched out her arms to hug Emperor Shenwu and stayed with him quietly.
After a moment, the Emperor Shenwu seemed to come back to his senses. He reached out and embraced Lan Qingwu, burying his face in Lan Qingwu's long black hair. "Ruoruo, that child is gone! She was already seven years old. I didn't expect the disease to be so severe this time. Even Doctor Zhao and his men couldn't save her!"
