Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1153

Yun Shang went to the Tai Chi hall, but she didn't see Luo Qingyan there.

"Where is his majesty?"

The servant standing aside answered in a hurry, "The examinees have already entered the palace. His majesty is examining them in the Meeting Hall."

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and asked Qian Liu to set the dishes. Then she went to the Meeting Hall and stopped at side of the hall.

"At the north border of our country, the State of Yelang has attacked many times in recent years. Before this, I fought with the Empress in person for several times and finally defeated the State of Yelang. If the State of Yelang surrenders and is willing to submit to the State of Xia and offer the specialty products of the State of Yelang, do you think we should choose war or peace?"

Luo Qingyan's voice echoed in the hall. Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and smiled. She didn't go on, nor did she retreat. She stood still and listened.

"I think we should choose peace." A gentle voice said, "The State of Yelang has attacked many times in recent years. The people at the border and the soldiers have suffered a lot. Every year during the war, the people suffered a lot and didn't dare to go back home. Every year we recruit soldiers. In every battle, no matter we win or lose, there will be countless casualties." "If we can be reconciled, that would be the best. The State of Yelang bows to us, and the border can have peace. Why not?"

"Yes, it's the common people who suffer in the war between two countries." Luo Qingyan smiled and seemed to agree.

"I think we should choose war." Another voice sounded.

Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Why? "

"It will be a good thing if we can really coexist peacefully. But now the State of Yelang is ruled by Cangjue Qingsu. I have heard a lot of rumors about the emperor of the State of Yelang. From those rumors, I think Cangjue Qingsu should be a vicious, cunning, ambitious man who would do anything to achieve his goal."

"the State of Yelang is vast and sparsely populated, and its land is very barren. Every year, it will be attacked by sand and cold air. But the State of Xia is completely different. It is prosperous with fertile land. The State of Yelang has been coveting the State of Xia for a long time, so they often invade and intend to annex the State of Xia. Such situation is especially frequent after Cangjue Qingsu took the throne."

"In this case, I don't think that Cangjue Qingsu will really surrender to the State of Xia because of the temporary defeat. Even if he surrendered, there must be a plot. He must have pretended to surrender in order to lower our vigilance against them. Then he can make a comeback when we are off guard."

"Therefore, I think we should defeat him thoroughly in order to avoid future trouble."

"Yes, it makes sense." Luo Qingyan said carelessly, "Well, I know what you are thinking. You can leave now. If I have any arrangement, I will send someone to inform you." Some faint sounds came from the hall, and then it became quiet.

Yun Shang still stood there. Not long after, Luo Qingyan came over. He didn't seem to be surprised to see Yun Shang, but reached out his hand to her. "What do you think?"

Yun Shang certainly knew what he was asking. She smiled and said, "It's obvious. Your majesty, you still need to ask me before you can make a decision? Of course the latter one is better. Isn't his words exactly what his majesty is thinking? "

Luo Qingyan chuckled and raised his hand to rub Yun Shang's hair. "What brought here? Is there anything wrong?"
