Chapter 59 The fifth princess demolished Fengyang Palace!
Emperor Xuanwu knew very well that Beixiang dared to do this simply because it had been recuperating for more than 20 years and its national strength had gradually grown stronger.
The shadow of defeat gradually dissipated. It just so happened that Tiansheng had experienced two serious floods and droughts last year and the year before. The treasury was not full. If a war broke out at this time, I am afraid it would be difficult to sustain.

So Bei Xiang wanted to use this opportunity to test Tian Sheng's strength.

If Emperor Xuanwu really behaves too easy to talk to, Beixiang might send troops directly south before long!
But don't be too forceful.

What if Bei Xiang had intended to start a war from the very beginning? His overly tough response might become an excuse for the other side to send troops.

Emperor Xuanwu's face was as gloomy as water.

If possible, he really wanted to defeat Beixiang again like he did more than 20 years ago!
【The Sims selection system is at your service.

Please select the decision you would like to make next. 】

In recent times, the Sims selection system, which has appeared more often than in a year, has popped up again at the right time.

Emperor Xuanwu's brows relaxed and he looked up at the light curtain.

【A. Discuss this matter with the ministers in the court;
B. When Yunshu went to the stable, someone accidentally revealed the matter to her;

C. Take a tough attitude and fight if you want! 】

Probably because he had been holding back a lot of anger and had no way to vent it, Emperor Xuanwu chose C first to feel relieved.

[You chose C, Tiansheng won, and the people suffered. ]

Won, but not completely.

Emperor Xuanwu stared at the words "The people are living in misery" in silence for a long time. The momentary pleasure he felt when he made the choice just now was now replaced by unhappiness.

Although this was a result he had anticipated, he still felt extremely depressed when he actually saw these words.

Emperor Xuanwu had a cold face and chose A again.

He wanted to see how his beloved ministers would behave.

[You chose A. Two years later, Beixiang sent troops.]

Emperor Xuanwu: “?”

What happens after Beixiang sends troops?
Who's winning?
What was the situation like after the Tiansheng War?

If it is postponed for two years, the money in his private treasury will be more than that in the national treasury. Even if a war breaks out, it should not result in the people suffering, right?

Emperor Xuanwu thought about it and clicked on the second item.

[You chose B, a large number of retired war horses returned to the battlefield, and the number of Tiansheng cavalry increased dramatically! ]

boom!
In his excitement, he knocked over a pile of memorials at hand and they fell to the ground.

The Third Prince was so frightened that he trembled and quickly spoke:

"Father calm down!"

Calm down?
He is in such a good mood now! Why does he need to calm down?
After standing up and pacing back and forth in front of the desk for two circles, Emperor Xuanwu sat back in his chair and wrote down a reply to Beixiang:
"This document must be delivered to Beixiang as soon as possible. If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible!"

"...Your son obeys your order."

The third prince was totally confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.

His father had been furious not long ago, but now he seemed to be in a very good mood, full of expectations...

The emperor’s mind is truly unpredictable!

The third prince carefully took the document and left the imperial study.

Completely unaware that after he left, Emperor Xuanwu, who no longer had to maintain his imperial posture, finally let himself go and revealed an expression of ecstasy—

When Tiansheng signed the agreement with Beixiang, why did they prefer to give up the huge cash compensation and require Beixiang to send a thousand fine war horses every year?
It’s simply because the horses in Beixiang are much better in physical fitness than those in Tiansheng.

Bei Xiang was obviously very clear about this, so all the horses they sent over the years were male horses.

Although Tiansheng also tried to breed these stallions, the resulting mixed-blood horses were still inferior to Beixiang's purebred horses.

Now Beixiang has proposed that there are no good war horses in service and wants to use retired war horses as replacements.

Then it’s not too much for him to ask for ten times, right?
If there are any mares among the 10,000 retired war horses, they will make a fortune!

Even if there is still no one, with Xiaowu here, these 10,000 war horses from Beixiang can return to the battlefield, which will also be a huge windfall for Tiansheng!

It’s just… Xiaowu has to work hard again.

Thinking that Yun Shu not only has to research low-priced paper and prepare to open a restaurant, but also has to take on the important task of getting retired war horses back to the battlefield,

Emperor Xuanwu took two steps with a rare guilty look on his face.

But his conscience only lasted about two seconds, and he soon called the Dragon Shadow Guard and gave him instructions.

He thought that since the Sims selection system mentioned that Yun Shu would go to the stable, it should be in the next few days.

As a result, ten days passed in a flash.
Emperor Xuanwu not only failed to wait for the news that Yunshu went to the stable, but instead waited for the outrageous event that she demolished Fengyang Palace!
Emperor Xuanwu: “!!!”

"Please explain clearly, what do you mean by demolishing Fengyang Palace?"

For the first time in his life, Emperor Xuanwu began to doubt his own ability to understand:
"She... blew off the roof?"

“The roof is not lifted.”

Dragon Shadow Guard replied in a serious tone:

“But the ground was all over the place.”

"?"

Could it be that his daughter complained that Fengyang Palace was too remote and too small, but was too embarrassed to ask him directly, so she simply demolished Fengyang Palace and waited for him to salvage it?
Or did he get addicted to digging holes in the hunting grounds before, and now he won't let go of Fengyang Palace? ?
Emperor Xuanwu thought about it and decided to go to Fengyang Palace in person to see what was going on.

So, half an hour later, Emperor Xuanwu, who had stopped the servants from passing the message, saw Yun Shu in a side hall of Fengyang Palace, who was holding a feather pen and writing and drawing on a piece of paper.

He leaned over to take a look out of curiosity, but didn't understand -

"What are you drawing?"

"The mechanism, this..."

After replying subconsciously, Yun Shu realized something was wrong. He turned his head and saw the familiar face of Emperor Xuanwu. He stood up quickly.
"Father, why are you here?"

"I heard that my fifth princess has started to demolish Fengyang Palace for some reason. As her father, I have to come and take a look."

Emperor Xuanwu, who was still looking at the blueprint, also straightened up following her action:

"I just came from the front hall and saw that the ground inside the hall was almost completely demolished.

What, do you think this Fengyang Palace is too small to accommodate your big Buddha?"

"How did you know this when I just started to dismantle it?"

Yun Shu was a little frustrated:

"I was thinking of giving you a surprise if it works!"

"surprise?"

So he accidentally ruined the surprise that Xiaowu prepared for him?
