Chapter 114 The sinner who alienates flesh and blood does not dare to speak falsely

In the south of the Great Yan Dynasty, there was a considerable country, Yue Kingdom.

Compared with other small countries around this country, this country is not very prosperous and powerful, because most of the country's land is covered with steep forests, which are not suitable for farming, and is not suitable for grazing. Therefore, people in this country can only focus on hunting, supplemented by mulberry silkworms, and make a living.

However, compared to their poverty and vast territory, the Great Yan Dynasty, which was rich in resources, became the fat in their eyes, and occasionally crossed the border to plunder.

The most looted are actually the people and food, after all, their country cannot be self-sufficient.

Compared to the fierce country in the north and the country that has been undermining several times, Yue's behavior is like a child holding a branch to scratch people itchy. Although it is uncomfortable, it has no way to fight it, because its territory is full of mountains and forests. Once Da Yan sends troops, it is easy to be trapped by the harsh geographical environment and return in vain.

There have been several such lessons before.

As soon as Zhu Feng heard of Yue Kingdom, his heart was in flames: "What are they doing?"

Jian Ruocheng said: "They crossed the border, burned half of Yongzhou city, plundered 500,000 stones of food in the border city, and some were killed or injured, and they are currently in progress."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Feng's fists were already clenched and his fingers slapd.

Jian Ruocheng had seen him angry before, so he stopped talking at this time.

Nan Yan thought about it and immediately stepped aside, trying to make a cup of tea for him to reduce his anger. Xiao Shunzi, who had been standing behind the emperor, also came to help. Zhu Feng frowned, looked at the corner of his eyes, and said coldly: "No, I don't want to drink tea."

Nan Yan stopped as soon as he touched the teacup.

Xiao Shunzi was stunned for a moment, looked at him, and then at the emperor, wanting to say something, but he didn't dare to speak in the end.

Wuying Palace fell into a brief silence.

After a while, Zhu Feng said coldly: "Yongzhou is the fief of King Jing."

Jian Ruocheng said: "Yes."

"What else did King Jing say about this when he wrote a letter?"

"King Jing also said that the damaged city would require at least 10 million taels of silver to rebuild it, and it also required the court to recruit horses and troops to re-strengthen the defense of Yongzhou."

Zhu Feng laughed furiously: "As the prince, he asked the court for tens of thousands of stones of food, tens of thousands of stagnants of money every year, as well as horses, silk, tea, and even the prince's guards. Now that half of Yongzhou has been burned, he has reached out to the court again."

As he said that, he turned to look at the "Da Yan Tongbao" placed on the table next to him, and sneered: "It seems that I have cast these new coins for them."

Nan Yan listened aside and frowned slightly.

In the past, she was just a select attendant and a palace maid. She had no idea that the court had to bear so much. The court was like a ox cart with a mountain-like haystack, and there were people sitting on it to enjoy their happiness.

Ye Zheng hurried over and whispered: "Don't calm down."

Zhu Feng waved his hand and looked like he was not angry, but seeing the blue veins on both sides of his forehead bulged, he was obviously very angry.

He suddenly said, "Jian Youcheng, if you come to report this matter, don't you have anything to say?"
