Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

Chapter 767 Very satisfied!

"Oh? Your Highness wants to know what I am doing?"

The fourth prince’s residence, living room.

The fourth prince Chu Ying, who was playing chess with Liu Yunqing, looked at He Peng who came to report with an amusement on his face.

The prince never dreamed that He Peng had already defected to him.

He now knew exactly what the prince was doing, but the prince knew nothing about his thoughts.

Picking up the white chess piece on the table and gently placing it on the chessboard, Chu Ying chuckled and said, "I wonder what Lord He thinks I should do?"

He Peng's face straightened, and he said in a deep voice: "The King of Chu is just trying to take advantage of a small opportunity. As long as his demands are met, he will definitely rush to Zhao State."

Chu Ying raised his eyebrows: "But what if his request is too much?"

"impossible!"

He Peng said firmly: "Zhao State is very important to the King of Chu, he can't make excessive demands.

Moreover, if he delays such a major matter, he will be held responsible if problems arise in the State of Zhao.

I believe that the Crown Prince and His Highness will be able to make the decision on the request made by the King of Chu."

Chu Ying laughed and stood up suddenly: "Lord He and Lord Liu have the same opinion. In this case, I will ask Lord Liu to go to the Chu Palace in person tomorrow."

Things can't be delayed forever, we have to find a way to solve them.

He was not afraid of Chu Ning making any requests, but he was afraid that Chu Ning would not make any requests.

If there is a request, as long as he agrees, Chu Ning can go to Zhao State.

But once there is no request, he doesn't even have a solution.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely let the King of Chu set off tomorrow!" Liu Yunqing saluted with a solemn look on his face.

"Very good, I'll leave this matter to Master Liu!"

The three of them finished their discussion and ended the meeting.

The next day, it's time.

A sedan chair arrived at the gate of Prince Chu's mansion. After it stopped, Liu Yunqing came out of it.

"Please inform that Liu Yunqing wishes to see His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

"Master Liu, wait a moment. I will go and report right away."

As a subordinate, if you want to enter the palace, you need to go through various levels of notification, and the guards at the door will not let you in easily.

After a while, Liu Yunqing was allowed to enter the mansion.

living room.

Chu Ning stood in the hall with a leisurely look on his face.

Liu Yunqing, who was brought in, immediately stepped forward, bowed and saluted: "Greetings to His Majesty the King of Chu!"

Chu Ning looked the man up and down and said calmly, "Lord Liu, right? Speaking of which, you are also my disciple, but it seems that this is your first time to visit my residence, right?"

He showed his power from the very beginning, implying that Liu Yunqing was a traitor.

Liu Yunqing laughed awkwardly: "The Chu Palace is a large compound with high walls, and His Royal Highness the King of Chu is often not at home. This humble official only found an opportunity to come here to pay his respects today."

Chu Ning sneered: "Okay, put away your politeness and state your intentions directly!"

Chu Ning has no good impression of Liu Yunqing.

Sensing Chu Ning's indifference, Liu Yunqing could no longer continue to be polite. He straightened his face and said in a deep voice:

"I came here this time because the Fourth Prince asked me to ask if the King of Chu has any difficulties in going to Zhao State and why he has not set out yet.

This time, the State of Zhao has undergone a change. Judging from the battle report, the enemy is coming with great force. As the regent prince, Your Highness the Fourth Prince naturally hopes that Your Highness the Prince of Chu will rush to the State of Zhao as soon as possible."

He didn't dare to say that Chu Ning was deliberately delaying time and raising the price, so he just asked Chu Ning if he had any difficulties.

Chu Ning sighed and said in a difficult tone: "What other difficulties could there be? Of course it's about rewards and military pay.

The soldiers on the front line conquered the State of Zhao, but the rewards from the court had not yet been given, so they were about to take action against the two lords, Han Xing and Di Wenyao.

The spoils of war from the front line had all been distributed to officials in various states of Zhao State, resulting in insufficient military pay.

If I go there empty-handed, the already low morale will probably hit rock bottom. It’s not that I don’t want to go to Zhao State immediately, but I’m trying to raise military pay and food.

Once the military pay and food are collected, the king will set out immediately."

It turned out that it was to seek rewards for the soldiers on the front line!

Liu Yunqing suddenly understood.

During this period of time, the court has been trying to target Han Xing and Di Wenyao for the issue of Zhao's spoils of war. As for the issue of rewards, no one mentioned it.

Now that Chu Ning said this, this is indeed a big problem.

The Bingzhou troops destroyed the State of Zhao. This was an amazing feat. How could they not be rewarded?

As for food and military pay, it must be Chu Ning who wants to take the opportunity to raise the price!

Liu Yunqing rolled his eyes and laughed, "So His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is here for this matter. In fact, the Fourth Prince has been handling the reward issue.

But you also know that the contribution of this battle is too great, and His Highness the Fourth Prince needs to check it carefully before reporting it to His Majesty for reward.

However, since His Royal Highness the King of Chu wants to reward them as soon as possible, I think it would be most appropriate to promote all the frontline soldiers by three ranks!"

Chu Ning's eyes lit up: "Master Liu can make the decision on this matter?"

Liu Yunqing smiled awkwardly and said, "I was entrusted by the Fourth Prince to come and ask about your difficulties, King Chu. Since I know that you are worried about the rewards for the soldiers on the front line, I can naturally make the decision on this matter.

To be honest, the Fourth Prince has already handed over the matter of rewarding Bingzhou’s troops to this humble official.”

Chu Ning laughed: "In that case, then let's do as you wish, Master Liu. Everyone will be promoted three levels!"

In fact, Chu Ning had already known that Liu Yunqing was responsible for this matter, but he couldn't say it out loud, so he could only let Liu Yunqing say it himself.

After resolving this matter, Liu Yunqing continued, "As for the issue of military pay and food, the Minister of Revenue Liu Shouren is not in the capital now, but the other officials of the Ministry of Revenue have a good relationship with you, the King of Chu. I believe that with just a word from you, it will not be a problem to transfer two million silver coins.

I will report this matter to His Majesty the Fourth Prince and ask Him to personally issue a handwritten order to the Ministry of Revenue.

But as for food and fodder, the rice in the counties has not been harvested yet. After the harvest, the court will allocate one million dan of food to the front line!

I wonder if His Royal Highness the King of Chu is satisfied with this?"

Chu Ning laughed when he heard this: "Satisfied, this king is very satisfied. If these two things can be solved today, this king will set off today!"

Liu Yunqing was delighted: "In that case, I will go down and make arrangements right away. Your Highness the King of Chu will get the answer you want soon."

After saying that, Liu Yunqing bowed, turned around and prepared to leave.

But after taking two steps, Chu Ning suddenly called him: "Wait!"

"Does the King of Chu have any other instructions?" Liu Yunqing thought Chu Ning was going to go back on his word.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ning asked calmly: "I want to know who will take on the position of Imperial Censor?"

Liu Yunqing was stunned. He didn't expect Chu Ning to suddenly be concerned about the appointment of court officials.

"It's hard to say about this matter!"

Liu Yunqing thought for a moment before answering, "The Fourth Prince should be appointed as regent, but the Ministry of Personnel and the Crown Prince seem to have their own candidates, so the matter is still unresolved."

After hearing this, Chu Ning couldn't help but look this man up and down, walked up to him, patted his shoulder and said with a smile:

"Although you are Lao Si's man, I think that with your talent you can serve as the Imperial Censor!"

After saying that, Chu Ning turned and left, leaving Liu Yunqing in a daze.

He never dreamed that Chu Ning would actually think he could serve as the Imperial Censor.

What exactly did Chu Ning mean by this?

Looking at Chu Ning's departing back, Liu Yunqing shook his head and turned to leave. He wanted to tell the Fourth Prince what Chu Ning meant as soon as possible.
