With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 404 It is your honor to die for the princess
It doesn’t matter if she’s not dead. Given what she went through in Northern Qi, living would be more painful than death.

But he certainly couldn't say that to the court officials. He pondered for a while before saying, "We can't do that rashly, otherwise Canglan Country will think we are too unfriendly. We don't know what Canglan Country is capable of yet, so we should be friendly and test it out first to see if the other party is a tiger or a cat."

It is a tiger and must be respected. Don't make it angry.

If it was a cat, he would feel more at ease, and even thought about taking over Canglan Country. What a great achievement it would be if he could restore the territory of Daqi?

"As for the Ninth Princess, let's test the background of Canglan Country first. We can't let her bring trouble to the entire Southern Qi. Although I also want to take her back, after all, she is my most beloved daughter." Song Chong pretended to be sad and sighed, "Go and find out more about the situation of Canglan Country. For now, keep your troops on hold."

His words really convinced all the ministers and they all agreed with this decision.

His Majesty helped the Ninth Princess escape disaster and went through untold hardships to send her away. It is a fact that he loves the Ninth Princess and no one doubts it.

Soon, all parties knew that Northern Qi had been destroyed and a new dynasty had been established, named Canglan. The new emperor was a woman who was very brave. Only her surname was Yu, not her name, and no one knew whether she was beautiful or ugly.

But the story became more and more outrageous. Some said she was ugly and tall, as tall as a floor of a house.

Some people say that she is actually a monster with a very beautiful appearance, which is particularly easy to seduce people, especially her eyes. Anyone who sees her will fall into them and be driven by her. If you see her in the future, don't look her in the eye, otherwise you will be driven by her for the rest of your life.

After hearing the latter rumor, Fan Shi was very amused and cursed: "Do you think that everyone can be controlled by His Majesty? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself?"

"Some time ago, a few people who claimed to be monks came and showed off their abilities in front of Your Majesty, but Your Majesty exposed them on the spot and they left in disgrace. It was all a fake trick. Did they really think Your Majesty was easy to deceive?"

Song Jue persuaded him, "Sir, I was just talking casually, but the rumor is definitely getting more and more outrageous, isn't it always like this? Don't be angry, take care of yourself."

"I'm not angry at all," Fan Shidao said, "I just cursed a few times. It's worse to keep it in your heart."

Fan Shi buried his head and continued to work.

Song Jue: Well, sir, he doesn’t seem to be angry, he just wants to curse a few words.

The Southern Qi Imperial Palace.

Emperor Song Chong was having dinner with Concubine Li. When they had almost finished, he sent his attendants away.

Concubine Li asked, "Your Majesty, is there any news from Canglan Country?"

There was anxiety on her face, but not a trace of worry, only hatred and anger. Cui Qi was so bold that he actually sent her own daughter to Northern Qi, causing her daughter to suffer so much. Fortunately, she came back.

If Cui Qi stayed there, she would never be able to come back, so she couldn't cause any trouble even if she wanted to.

Now that Northern Qi was destroyed, she only hoped that Cui Qi would have suffered all the hardships before that, otherwise... she would feel uncomfortable. Otherwise, she would not be able to cause trouble openly when she returned.

"The Canglan Kingdom has just been established and there are still many things to do. We don't have time to communicate with the outside world yet. According to the speculation of the ministers, the other party should make friendly relations with Southern Qi." Song Chong said.

He actually hoped that Canglan Kingdom was just a kitten, but that was obviously impossible. After all, it couldn't be a simple existence that could overthrow Northern Qi.

Of course, it is impossible to start a war at this time, especially to attack Southern Qi, which is even more impossible.

"Recently, some news came in. Those nobles really fought back and have been looking for an opportunity to kill the Emperor of Canglan. There was no news that she was injured."

"I don't know if she is really not injured or not," Song Chong pondered, "Even if she is really injured or even dead, I don't think it will affect the existence of Canglan Country. After all, it is easy for the forces behind her to push another person up."

He didn't believe those outrageous rumors.

Although many people rushed to Canglan Kingdom to surrender and pledge allegiance, in fact, it was because Northern Qi was destroyed by Canglan Kingdom, and they did not necessarily believe in the ability of the Queen of Canglan Kingdom.

There are indeed people who think the same as Song Chong, but they seem to have nowhere else to go except to Canglan Kingdom. At least the fact that Canglan Kingdom destroyed Northern Qi makes it a place worth going to so far.

But when these capable people saw Ah Qi, they immediately dismissed the idea in their minds, and at the same time, a sentence came to their mind, that the rumor was true. Some people, when you see her, you can feel that she is different, provided that she is willing to let you see this side.

Three months after the fall of Northern Qi, Canglan State promulgated new laws and sorted out tax-related laws, retaining what should be retained and reducing what should be reduced, of course, all within the feasible range. After all, it is such a big country, it is impossible to achieve everything in one go, and it needs to be done step by step.

Ah Qi is not in a hurry. There are more and more people around her who can be used. She only needs to put forward ideas, make them submit and be convinced, and then they will do it.

So far so good.

If what she said makes sense, then they will listen to her. If they think it is unreasonable and they can find a reason to convince her, then they will listen to their opinions and everything will be based on the future development of Canglan Country.

For her, being the emperor didn't require much thought, after all, she didn't care about these things.

But she chose to take this step in order to do her best, and she was always serious about her tasks.

Besides, she didn't want to disappoint those who followed her. Their eyes were bright and sharp, and they looked much more pleasing to the eye than at the beginning.

It's nice to see them happy.

Those people who followed her from Nan Qi used to have a layer of deathliness about them, but now they are full of energy all day long, as if they have come alive.

The destruction of the Northern Qi royal family and so many nobles enriched the national treasury, making it much easier for Asui to do things.

Fan Shi flipped through the account books while muttering, "Sure enough, we have to kill them. There's so much wealth and food in the treasury, what can't we do? Those cancerous tumors do nothing but bully people all day long, exploit the people, amass wealth and store food. Living is good for no one except themselves."

"Your Majesty is really amazing. The places you pointed out are indeed easy to hide things." Fan Shi praised again, "Otherwise, they would have really hidden them."

Ah Qi praised him casually: "Military Advisor is not bad. If you hadn't arranged for someone to follow them in advance, how could we have followed those nobles to find their other hideouts?"

Fan Shi smiled happily, and continued to look through the account book to count the items. The more he looked, the more shocked he became.

I had known for a long time that these nobles had hidden many good things, but I didn't expect there were so many.

Now all these things have entered the Canglan State’s treasury. With silver and food, there is nothing to worry about, especially maintaining the army. These things are enough.

Ah Qi handed Fan Shi a booklet and said, "This is a book about farming. It should be of some use. Take it and make a copy of it. Arrange someone to study it and pass it on."

Fan Shi took it, flipped through it, and was surprised to find it was very useful.

Sure enough, this was the person he was waiting for.

[Host, this guy seems to only admire you now, don't you have any other thoughts?] 997 asked.

Ah Qi: [Isn't this good? Look how happy he is. Don't think about love all the time. Are you love-brained? ]

Ah? 997 was depressed. Isn't he concerned about the host's emotional life?

[If you feel bored, please compile some more information for me that will be helpful to the development of this world.] Ah Qi said.

I'm still busy now, so I don't have time to think about other things.

According to the current situation, she won't be able to return to Nanqi for a while. Forget it, just wait a little longer, there's no need to be so anxious.

We need to lay a solid foundation here before we can do other things.

Let them be happy for a while longer.
