I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Chapter 320 Kunguo Sends Money Again

Before Tang Xinyi could finish her words, Shen Changgong grabbed her calf and placed it on his leg.

Shen Changgong quickly took off her shoes and socks, and then looked at her red and swollen ankle.

He frowned slightly, ignoring the white jade-like feet, picked up the safflower oil, and applied it on Tang Xinyi's red and swollen ankles.

As the safflower oil soaked into her skin, Tang Xinyi also felt a little warm, which might be the effect of the medicine.

Then, Shen Changgong gently held her feet, moved her ankles gently, and said,

"You should occasionally gently twist and move around to help with recovery, but for the most part, just rest and don't move."

"Oh, stop touching it, it stinks..."

Tang Xinyi's pretty face flushed red, she pursed her lips tightly, and her eyes were full of embarrassment.

As the saying goes, men don't touch heads and women don't touch feet.

Tang Xinyi felt so embarrassed when her fair feet were grabbed by the other party.

She is obviously a young widow, but she is as young and innocent as a girl.

Eh? No, she's not a widow. Her husband is still alive and she's not divorced.

She is still a wife now.

After finishing, Shen Changgong put her feet on the bed and said,

"Don't walk around. I'll send someone to bring you dinner. I'll take Shengjing as soon as possible, and then you can go back to the palace to live. It's more comfortable than living in the barracks.

When your foot is healed in a couple of days, go sort out the gold, silver, and jewelry you sent me. Store the items in the palace separately and bring them back to the palace later."

"Well, I see."

Tang Xinyi nodded obediently.

Shen Changgong stood up, cupped her pretty and perfect cheeks, kissed her, and then turned and left.

The two maids covered their mouths and laughed, and Tang Xinyi's face turned red.

……

"Hey? This guy with a bright face, did you get him?"

In the commander's tent, Prince Nan Ma Ling looked at Shen Changgong with a smile on his face and asked with some sarcasm.

"Of course, don't you see who I am?"

Shen Changgong smiled smugly and sat on the handsome chair.

Gongsun Wan'er snorted angrily,

"You're having affairs outside. I'm going to report you to His Majesty and have him punish you severely!"

"You want to be beaten again?"

"You dare to hit me?!"

Gongsun Wan'er glared arrogantly.

Looking at her posture, there is no need to ask, she definitely wants to be beaten again. During this period of time, Shen Changgong has been accompanying Fairy Meiyan, but he has neglected her a little.

This little bitch must have been horny and thirsty for a long time.

It seems I have to give her some good nourishment tonight.

The Southern King looked at the people in the general's tent and said,

"All of you go down and check the armaments."

"As ordered!"

Everyone knew that the King of the South had something to say to the King of Lanling, and they all stood up and left immediately.

Soon, only Shen Changgong, Ma Ling and Gongsun Wan'er were left.

Ma Ling looked at Shen Changgong and said earnestly,

"You and His Majesty have been together for several months, so why is His Majesty still not pregnant?"

"Ok?"

Shen Changgong didn't expect that Ma Ling would actually care about this issue.

"You don't want to have a child so early?"

"Uh... almost."

"That won't work."

Ma Ling sat upright on the chair, looked at Shen Changgong, frowned and said,

"She is the emperor, and you are the emperor's husband. Your child must be your firstborn, and must be the eldest son.

Only if he is the eldest son can he be the crown prince, and the foundation of the country.

Now you have several women, what if those women give birth to children before Your Majesty?"

Shen Changgong smiled and said,

"Brother Nan Wang, you're worrying too much..."

"I'm your uncle. As an elder, shouldn't I consider these things for you?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Only the eldest son born to Your Majesty and I can be the crown prince. Children born to other women, even if they are boys, even if they are the eldest, do not have the royal blood of Yan State. They are not legally orthodox. How could it have any impact?

The eldest son of Your Majesty and I will be the crown prince. As for the children of other women in the future, I will carefully select one to be the heir apparent and inherit the throne.

Moreover, the Enfeoffment Order has been issued, which naturally includes me.

In a few generations, Prince Lanling's power will be fragmented and will no longer pose a threat to the imperial power."

The Southern King sighed and said,

"Then you should have a child soon. This is the king's child. You are always on the front lines. If you die one day without leaving any child behind, do you want His Majesty to find another one?"

"Okay, okay, I get it. Once the capital is moved, His Majesty will come as well. I guarantee you'll have a baby next year."

Shen Changgong laughed.

"By the way, what's going on in Shengjing, Kun Kingdom?"

Ma Ling said,

"It's a complete mess. The soldiers stole money from the people last night and are still doing it today. Many people who refused to obey were hacked to death by the soldiers.

Some of those who survived ran to the government office to file a complaint and were directly thrown into jail.

Those who ran to the palace gate to complain were killed directly by the Royal Guards and Security Forces.

Now the people of Shengjing are all hiding in their homes, not daring to show their heads.”

Shen Changgong nodded and said,

“Haha, okay, the people’s money probably isn’t enough to compensate us, so we’ll have to use the military funds then.

When the army's interests are damaged, it's time for a mutiny.

Either they come out to fight, or they rebel themselves.

However, this looting incident dealt a devastating blow to Shengjing's economic and business model.

After we take control of Shengjing, we must immediately begin to restore the economy, issuing low-interest loans to encourage merchants to move about. If the economy doesn't become active, the overall national strength will be greatly damaged."

"Well, these things need to be done as soon as possible, and we also need to control and subjugate various places. It's easy for us to conquer Kun Country, but it's difficult to digest Kun Country."

……

the next day.

This day was the deadline Shen Changgong gave to the Kun Kingdom court, and all the gold, silver and treasures must be delivered.

The south gate of Shengjing was opened early, and carriages loaded with gold and silver came out of the gate and rushed outside.

Behind them are the destruction of many families and the wailing of countless people.

The envoy sent from Shengjing this time was still Lao Fengchang.

There's no way, everyone is afraid of death.

This is the third time that Old Fengchang has been sent to the Yan army camp, so he is very experienced.

The city gates of Kun Kingdom were constantly transporting goods outwards all day long, and goods were almost delivered on a whim.

They robbed the money and threw it onto the cart. When it was full, they pulled it out of the city and delivered it to the Yan army.

Lao Fengchang arrived at the military camp in the morning and met Shen Changgong and Prince Nan in the general's tent.

"Oh, Lord Fengchang is still alive. How strange! You caused the Queen to be lost, but Emperor Kun didn't chop off your head?"

Shen Changgong looked at Old Fengchang and smiled teasingly.

Old Fengchang said with an awkward and cautious smile,

"My Lords, my Majesty has an unwelcome request, but I'm not sure if I should state it or not."
