Seeing that there was an outsider at this moment, the two princesses immediately changed their appearance, extremely dignified and reserved.

After nodding lightly, he sat on the side.

"The Holy One is finally back."

The ministers turned their heads and looked at Lu Chensheng who was beside him and said with emotion.

Although Qingming went back to worship, it took a little too long for the Holy One to go.

Lu Chensheng didn't feel emotional, didn't he just stay in Taohuawu for a while, this is not a big deal.

"Is there anything you want to ask for instructions? Let's report them all together."

After leaving for too long, Lu Chensheng just came back and was going to have a court meeting with the ministers.

"There are some major events. The countries in the Western Regions have now ceased fighting, and the monarchs of all countries have written letters of credence and presented them to the imperial court, presumably to express their submission."

Du Rufang said.

The countries in the Western Regions are still obedient, or they know that they are under the control of the Xinghan Empire.

At present, the transactions with the Xinghan Empire are becoming more and more frequent, and they can earn a lot of money every year.

This is still tolerable, but the grain, salt, silk, ironware, etc. bought from Xinghan City are difficult for them to make by themselves.

I could still bear it before, but now I'm used to it, how can I get back to the past.

Therefore, the tolerance of the countries in the Western Regions is also expected.

The ministers are still very much in favor of the Holy Majesty's decision.

Only when they are not unified can they squeeze them like this.

Otherwise, once they are united, they will have a certain say in the trading of commodities, not to mention the threat to the Xinghan Empire.

This is not a good thing.

"That's a good thing."

Lu Chensheng nodded. The countries in the Western Regions have tolerated it now, and the next transaction can continue. They can still get a lot of good things from them.

Things like Hetian jade can make a lot of money.

The income of Xinghan City is the bulk of the income of the Xinghan Empire's treasury, so it cannot be broken at will.

"anything else?"

Lu Chensheng continued to ask, while taking out the credentials written by Zhu Guo from the side.

Looking at it at a glance, there are only words on it that the monarchs hope to have a good relationship with the Xinghan Empire forever, as well as words of respect for the Xinghan Empire.

Lu Chensheng flipped through it a few times, then threw it aside.

As for the reply, just ask a minister to write a letter and send it back.

The most powerful of these countries in the Western Regions, their military strength is only a few hundred thousand, and they are not at the same level as the Xinghan Empire.

To reply to the other party's letter of credence, there is no need for Lu Chensheng to write it himself.

"Several neighboring countries around seem to be a little uneasy."

The good news at the beginning seems to be to appease Lu Chensheng, lest Lu Chensheng explode and send troops to attack him.

Lu Chensheng frowned, and there was indeed a bit of displeasure on his face.

I don't even intend to take action against them, how dare these guys disrespect the Xinghan Empire?

"What exactly happened?"

"It should be during the winter months. Other countries have also suffered severe snowstorms. The disasters have been extremely serious, and it has also affected this year. According to reports from various places, the temperature this year is much colder than usual. I am afraid that this year's grain harvest will be even worse. affected.

Foreign countries are like us, and the harvest may not be much better under the cold weather. Therefore, troops began to gather around, presumably intending to invade our country to plunder food.

As far as foreign countries are concerned, the Liao Kingdom, the territory of the Han Dynasty, is rich in products. If they can be plundered, they will definitely have a bumper harvest. "

Lu Chensheng's face turned completely cold.

When he came back, he really felt that the weather this year was a bit too cold. Even after winter, the weather still didn't mean to warm up.

At first, I just thought that this year's weather was a little abnormal, so I didn't think much about it.

At this moment, listening to reports from all over the world, it seems that this is the case in all places, which is enough to prove the seriousness of the matter.

"How are the crops growing in various places?"

Lu Chensheng didn't worry about the gathering of foreign troops, but asked about the growth of the crops.

"Under the cold winter, many crops cannot be planted. I am afraid that the harvest will not be good this year."

Li Daifu from the household department said in a low voice, this is a bit of a disaster.

The Xinghan Empire has just been established, and with a series of good strategies by the Holy Majesty, all the ministers thought that it would definitely reach the state of prosperity in just a little time.

It never occurred to him that the sky would be in trouble with the Xinghan Empire.

This disaster is one disaster after another.

"Could it be the Little Ice Age?"

Lu Chensheng raised his head and looked out of the room, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

Looking at the abnormal weather at the moment, it seems that it really looks like the Little Ice Age.

If it really is a little ice age, it will lead to weather disasters such as cold in winter and drought in summer.

This is very deadly for crops.

This is a big deal.

It is easy to freeze the people to death in the cold winter, and foreign countries still want to plunder the Xinghan Empire to overcome this difficulty at this time.

"Holy Majesty"

The ministers were anxious, looking at the gloomy face in front of the Holy Majesty, they felt an inexplicable pressure.

Chapter 724 Killing the Japanese Order

"Soldiers press the border, send out the regiment, secure the border."

Lu Chensheng began to arrange the defense of the border.

Hearing this, the minister breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Majesty only needs to defend against their attacks, and doesn't need to cross borders?"

If not, that would be the best thing.

If there is a fight, the surrounding countries will put a lot of pressure on the Xinghan Empire. The most important thing is, how much money and food will it cost to fight once?

This is definitely not what they want to see.

This year's weather is cold, if the harvest is not good, the Xinghan Empire's economy may decline this year.

It is too irrational to start a war with other countries at this time.

"If soldiers from other countries come to attack, there is no need to worry about whether they have crossed the border, and they can attack at will."

Lu Chensheng waved his hand and said, he also knows the current situation, it is not good to send troops directly, the treasury is empty and it is difficult to support such a battle.

Otherwise, with Lu Chensheng's personality, he would never allow and tolerate these foreign provocations.

The ministers were still thinking that the monarch had finally made sense, instead of thinking about destroying the country directly when he heard someone provoking him as before.

It's just that when I heard it now, my face was still bitter.

Although it was a bit of restraint, it actually gave the soldiers great power. As long as the opponent provokes, the soldiers can cross the line to fight the opponent.

"My lord, are you restraining yourself?"

The minister hesitated for a moment, and said something.

Lu Chensheng was a little dissatisfied when he heard the words, isn't that enough restraint?

People are standing at the door to provoke, so is it possible that I have to be a turtle to be enough restraint?

Seeing that Lu Chensheng's expression was a little off, the minister quickly said, "Your Majesty, it's not that the timing is wrong now, if a war is provoked, it may be disadvantageous to fight on all sides, not to mention there are Tartars watching.

Last year, the Tartars issued the Seven Sins Statement, making it clear that they are not completely afraid of being beaten. Once they fight everywhere, they will definitely send troops. At that time, they will be besieged on all sides! "

The minister quickly persuaded and said.

The rest of the ministers also felt that one or two should be tolerated at this time.

Lu Chensheng sneered, "If we don't be tough on the outside world, but if there is a little bit of weakness that people can see, then they won't tolerate it anymore, and they will definitely swarm up and bite off a piece of our flesh.

The reason why they have not invaded the Xinghan Empire until now is entirely because of the previous deterrence. If they feel that the Xinghan Empire is a little weak, they will not be tempted like this.

Toughness is a must, and only by being tough can one have enough awe. "

Yiguo just felt that since he was affected by the disaster, he also wanted to come to the Xinghan Empire, so he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make a fortune so that he could tide over the difficulties.

However, the specific impact of the disaster is not known at all, nor is it clear.

As of now, it is still being tested.

Lu Chensheng gave the soldiers enough power, and also used such a tough style to make them retreat in spite of difficulties.

The ministers pondered it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.

Originally, the Xinghan Empire was won by war, but at this time, they dare not fight. I am afraid that people will think that the Xinghan Empire is afraid, or it will make people feel that there is something wrong with the Xinghan Empire, which can be bullied.

In any case, once you give the other party such a feeling, it is definitely a bad thing.

Thinking of this, the ministers suddenly stopped talking, and they all acquiesced.

Seeing this, Lu Chensheng began to prepare the list of soldiers sent out to guard.

After discussing with the ministers on the side, the prepared list was presented to Lu Chensheng for decision.

Looking at these lists at a glance, there are quite a few acquaintances.

Some of them were recommended by several ministers.

Lu Chensheng understood what they meant, carefully looked at the deeds of these soldiers, and then made a choice.

"Northern Kingdom, Goryeo, and Wo Moer Empire, all of them are looking for death."

Lu Chensheng was deciding who would guard, while watching the invading empire's eyes turn cold, and recorded all these guys.

"Your Majesty, apart from these, there have been reports recently that Fusang pirates have harassed the people by the sea, and the people have suffered greatly from it."

Du Rufang said something cautiously.

"Why didn't you report it before?"

Lu Chensheng's face turned completely cold, what's wrong?Is this all united to deal with Xinghan Kingdom?

Why are these things one after another?

"It's also just not long ago."

Du Rufang said immediately.

"Could it be that these guys are all united together to attack the Xinghan Empire?"

Lu Chensheng frowned, feeling a little irritable.

It happened that such a climate happened, which made Lu Chensheng feel a little depressed, and the money in the treasury was not enough.

This is one of the points that makes Lu Chensheng upset, and the Japanese plague makes Lu Chensheng even more upset.

"If you think about it, if you really unite, you will send troops directly at this moment, and these foreign countries have never had a deep connection."

The minister has still investigated this matter. If they unite, the nature of this matter will be different.

If these countries are united together, it means that they will definitely use force.

If this were the case, they wouldn't want to ask the Holy Master to bear it.

"That's good."

Hearing this, Lu Chensheng also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Decree to kill the Japanese, and reward ten copper coins for killing a Japanese pirate."

The Japanese pirates are not easy to deal with, the coastline is too long, even the defensive effect of stationing troops is limited, Lu Chensheng thought about it, it would be better to issue this order.

Since the target of the other party's looting is the common people, if they can arouse the resistance of the common people, these Japanese pirates will not be a serious problem.
