Chapter 562

General Shen dares not make decisions on this matter without authorization. He sends people to Beijing to report to empress dowager Zhou and new emperor.

The Empress Dowager of Zhou called on the ministers to discuss the matter. There were different opinions among them. Some were fighting and some were peaceful.

Finally, the Empress Dowager Zhou decided to accept the impertinent demands of the eastern Qin State and pay annual tribute to the Western Chu state.

She can't watch the death of the late emperor, can't let people criticize her supporting mochuan to ascend the throne of God is selfish.

Only in this way, the burden of the state of Western Chu suddenly increased, and the annual Sui Gong almost exhausted most of the national strength of the state, which made the Western Chu decline year by year and become more and more weak.

The self-reliance of the eastern Qin State seized the control of the Western Chu state, and the envoys who came to urge Sui Gong every year were more and more arrogant.

This year, the situation is even more serious. The envoys sent by them even proposed that they would ask questions to compete with the state of Western Chu for three times. If the Western Chu state lost, it would have to double the annual tribute!

It is tolerable, which is intolerable.

Since his accession to the throne, mochuan has made great efforts to manage the country in an orderly manner. Over the past few years, the people have finally been far away from the suffering of war and have lived a life of food and warm clothes.

In order to cope with the huge annual tribute silver of the eastern Qin state, he would rather reduce the expenses of the palace than increase the taxes of the people. He could be regarded as a good emperor who was diligent in politics and loved the people.

But Rao was like this, and the national strength of the Western Chu was gradually weakened. Fortunately, there was general Shen guarding the border. In the first World War of baishuiguan, he was so awe inspiring that he killed all the soldiers of the eastern Qin Dynasty.

Over the years, the eastern Qin Dynasty had not dared to invade the Western Chu state, which was also deterred by general Shen Da's great prestige.

After listening to the story of Princess Chang, Shen Ning can't help but hiss, trying to understand the cause and effect.

She felt more heartache for mochuan.

When he was a teenager, he lived a carefree youth. However, mochuan was so young that he had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of a country. No wonder he said that he had never heard of stories or told stories, because he had no childhood and youth at all.

As an emperor, he was full of disgrace instead of being famous.

So he was reticent and endured humiliation. When she first met him, he was a silent Muggle.

Until he gradually opened his heart to her, his face began to slowly appear a smile, but she will often find his eyebrows between the casual melancholy, his heart hidden things, even to her.

Now she finally understood.

But the more she understood, the more deeply she loved mochuan.

"Princess Chang, what kind of questions did the emissary of the eastern Qin Dynasty ask? Can't we, the Western Chu state, win over their Eastern Qin? "

"Well, the elder brother of the emperor is having a headache about this. At the palace banquet last night, the emissary did say the first question, which was called" zoumaguan stele ". My princess is so big that she has never heard of zoumaguan stele! The princess asked the emissary, what is the stele? But the emissary sneered: "if you don't even know how to watch the stele, you don't have to do it. You'd better admit defeat."

When the princess said this, she was so angry that she pulled out her sword and waved it twice in the air.

"I was so angry that I almost went to cut off his head. It was Tingxuan who held me. Otherwise, how could he allow him to be presumptuous in front of my princess?"
