  Chapter 530 The Chamber of Deliberations (Second Update)

  If you just borrowed 300,000 soldiers and horses without an IOU agreement, the emperor is naturally worried. Even if he has decided to delegate power to Yan Huisheng, he still can't stand Yan Huisheng trusting Su Rong with such a large amount of money.

  The heart of an emperor, sometimes the heart is so small, there is no way.

  After listening to Su Rong's words, the emperor coughed lightly, hiding his thoughts, "It's not as serious as you say."

  Su Rong didn't expose him, "Since you trust me so much, I won't write it anymore? That will save trouble."

  The emperor coughed again, "I still have to write it, so that I and the prince can explain to the courtiers."

  Su Rongxiao didn't want to continue teasing the emperor, wasting time by going back and forth, she was originally going to the palace to discuss this matter, so she said happily: "Okay."

  Yan Huisheng said at this time: "Father, can you invite the old Duke, the Taifu, and King Rui'an to enter the palace to discuss and draw up an agreement? Regarding the specific return date of the 300,000 soldiers and horses, as well as the trade and military cooperation between Daliang and Southern Chu, military cooperation, and joint efforts to fight the Great Wei, etc."

  The emperor nodded, "Very good, I will do as you said, not only the three of them, but invite all six ministers to the meeting hall together."

  Yan echoed and nodded, and gave orders to the outside world.

  Su Rong has no objection.

  So, the emperor, the crown prince, and Su Rong sat in the Hall of Mental Cultivation for a while, and after gossip, they estimated the time when the courtiers would enter the palace, and went to the Hall of Discussion together.

   When the three of them arrived, the courtiers also happened to be here. The old Huguogong came the fastest. When he saw Su Rong, he said to her: "You girl, you returned to Beijing quietly, and you didn't send anyone to inform me."

   "I planned to go to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow, but I didn't expect it to happen. I saw you in the palace today." Su Rong smiled.

  Old Huguogong knew that she had just returned to Beijing, and she had to walk around the East Palace at home. It was the turn of Huguogong's mansion, and it was indeed tomorrow, so he nodded, "How long can I stay?"

  Su Rong stretched out three fingers, "Three days."

  The old Hu Guogong sighed, "Tomorrow at noon, go to Fuchu for dinner."

  Su Rong nodded, "Okay."

   When King Ruian saw Su Rong, he praised Su Rong greatly, saying that Miss Su Qi was amazing, and asked about Zhang Mao's son Zhang Mao and his son Zhang Yun, were they really adopted by her? How did she convince those two people to join her?

  The old Huguogong didn’t say anything about the details, and none of the female family members of the Huguogong’s mansion spoke out. Therefore, King Rui’an and others also listened to the news. Rumors spread to the capital, and there were many rumors, but the specifics were unknown.

  The emperor knew a little bit, but not so much in detail, because the old Huguogong didn't tell the emperor in detail, but Yan Huisheng knew the details, but he would not say it outside.

  Seeing King Ruian's question, Su Rong didn't hide it, didn't say details about the process of taking refuge in her, and briefly explained the reasons why Zhang Mao and Zhang Yun took refuge in her.

  He said to Su Rong with admiration: "The princess is powerful. You can defeat others without fighting. You can learn the art of war well. It is better to kill people than to kill people. It is the best strategy."

Su Rongxiao, "On the street today, I met Prince Xie Xiao. He was also curious and said that I asked me to eat alcohol, but I only stayed in Beijing for three days. If he couldn't get back within three days, he couldn't drink this wine. Inside, I should not return to the beam. "

   Speaking of his son Xie Lin, King Rui'an was very satisfied that he had grown into a much better heir to the Rui'an Palace than he expected. He nodded with a smile, "Okay, this king will send someone to tell him."

   Qin Taifu has been waiting at the side, seeing Su Rong finished talking with the old Huguo Gong and King Rui'an, he said: "Miss Su Qi, I want to ask about my disciple."

  Su Rong looked at Taifu Qin, and felt a little guilty. Zhou Gu devoted all his efforts to the cultivation of Taifu Qin, but she abducted him. She bowed her hands to Taifu Qin with a humble gesture, "Old master, I will leave the palace later. My carriage will take you back to the Qin residence. Let's talk on the way?"

   After all, about Zhou Gu's matter, I can't finish it in a few words for a while.

   Qin Taifu nodded and agreed, "OK."

  Everyone entered the meeting hall and sat down one by one on the seats across the long table in the main hall. Su Rong naturally stepped into this meeting hall as the princess of Southern Chu.

  The emperor sat at the top, and Su Rong sat next to Yan Echo, at the same level as his seat. Although Southern Chu is a vassal state of Daliang, everyone knows that the king of Southern Chu is qualified to sit on an equal footing with the emperor. If the king of Nanchu hadn’t asked for help from Princess Zhenmin, Daliang would have been swallowed by Wei. Calling away, it's just for Princess Zhenmin's sake of protecting Daliang.

  If Princess Zhenmin and Su Rong didn't exist, the two countries would have already been at odds with each other, and there would be no relationship anymore.

   The cooperative relationship between the two parties naturally requires equality. Su Rong knew that this was the seat specially arranged by Yan Huisheng. Originally, she should sit under him according to her status as a vassal state, but obviously he arranged this way because he understood that Nan Chu could not always be under the leadership, especially after Su Rong came to power.

  Su Rong took his seat without changing his face.

  The emperor glanced at Yan Huisheng and Su Rong, but didn’t say anything. He talked about the fact that Daliang’s soldiers and horses have increased the pressure on military pay after the rebellion. Su Rong was the first to betray Zhang Ping, plus the pressure from the treasury, and the safety of her going to Southern Chu, and the internal situation in Southern Chu is not good for Su Rong, Daliang should help, so that Su Rong can secure the throne of Southern Chu in the future and jointly defend the Great Wei. Therefore, Daliang intends to lend Su Rong 300,000 soldiers and horses to take them to Southern Chu. Today, he called all the lovers to discuss how to sign an agreement with Su Rong.

  After listening to the emperor's words, everyone except the old Huguogong was in an uproar.

  The old protector of the country, the old god, was there. Hearing the gasping and shocked voices of the crowd, he only sighed, "Hey, there is no money in the treasury."

   Just this sentence, everyone fell silent, Daliang's treasury has no money, this is something that everyone in Daliang's courtiers knows. The supply of military pay, food, grass and other supplies for the recent mobilization of troops was based on copying the houses of the eldest prince and the second prince and the countless fallen courtiers to fill the national treasury. Only then did the military supply problem be solved for a while. If it is to raise 800,000 soldiers and horses in the future, Daliang really cannot afford it.

   Babies, monthly pass, what?
