"Why not?" Lin Beifan frowned.”
"Your Majesty, this is our territory. We can't cede our territory!" A minister said loudly.”
"Minister Liu, you're right. We can't give up our land! However, the Desert Kingdom has given us too much!" Lin Beifan waved his hand generously." It's just 300 square miles of land. I'll give it to them!"”
"But Your Majesty, that place is an iron mine! If the Desert Country obtains the iron mine, they will continuously forge weapons to threaten our Xia Country. Your Majesty, please reconsider!”
"Don't worry, Minister Huang!" Lin Beifan smiled. Even if they obtained the iron ore mine, it would still take them several years to forge weapons! However, now that we have money, we can buy it directly. It saves time and effort. Isn't that good?”
The third old minister stood up and pointed at Lin Beifan's nose, saying,""Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of being cursed for thousands of years by giving up your country for a woman?”
Lin Beifan smiled nonchalantly." Let them scold me as they please. They're all sour!" At most, I'll kill them all and see who dares to spread rumors behind my back and speak ill of me.”
"Your Majesty, you must not…"
……
The officials continued to persuade him. Lin Beifan was furious."Whoever dares to object, Zhen will strip him of his official position!”
For a moment, the court was silent out of fear, and all the officials shut their mouths.
They had already done their part as officials and acted well. If you're still stubborn, it's not their fault. It's your fault for being stubborn. You're the one who loses, not them.
"I have something to say!" A loud voice resounded through the court.
Lin Beifan turned his head and looked down. He said angrily,""Prime Minister, what do you have to say?"
Prime Minister Xiao Guoliang met Lin Beifan's eyes fearlessly and said,""Your Majesty, the iron mine in Hua Prefecture is not only our country's territory, but also an important strategic location for our country's military. It was fought for by countless people in Xia Country. Your Majesty, please retract your order!"
"Prime Minister, is my word not working?" Lin Beifan was furious. This is the first thing I've done since I ascended the throne, and you're going against me? You think I don't dare to do you?”
The Prime Minister said loudly," I'm loyal to Xia Country and Your Majesty. I have no selfish motives. Please understand, Your Majesty!"”
Lin Beifan was so angry that his entire body was trembling. From today onwards, Xiao Guoliang will be removed from his position as Prime Minister! My good uncle, you've worked hard for half your life. You should go back and enjoy your retirement!”
Prime Minister Xiao Guoliang's face turned pale. The Emperor had really dismissed him!
He was his father's sworn brother, his uncle in name. He had watched him grow up, but he actually…
An unspeakable sour feeling welled up in his heart.
All the civil and military officials were shocked. His Majesty had actually dismissed the Prime Minister!
One had to know that Premier Xiao was the emperor's right-hand man, and he was indispensable for presiding over the court!
Isn't the Emperor cutting off his own arm by doing this?
"Your Majesty, this…"
"You're not joking!" Lin Beifan said angrily,"Whoever dares to go against me again, I will dismiss them!"”
The officials shut their mouths once again. It was a good thing for them that the Prime Minister had been dismissed.
Great General Chai Yulang wanted to say something, but when he saw Xiao Guoliang shaking his head and giving him a look, he could only retreat aggrievedly.
" Mr. Mo," Lin Beifan said loudly." When you deliver the gold, silver, jewelry, food, and everyone to the capital, I will follow the agreement and cede the iron mine to you!"”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The court session had ended, but news of what had happened quickly spread to the outside world.
"His Majesty actually ceded the iron ore of the Flower Continent for a beauty?”
"This is a classic case of loving a beauty over a country!”
"Without the iron ore mine, our military strength will definitely be greatly weakened! And with the iron mine, the Desert Kingdom's strength would definitely grow rapidly, and the threat would increase…How could His Majesty not understand such a simple logic?”
"She must have been seduced by lust. She can't stand the temptation at such a young age!”
"For this, he even dismissed the loyal Prime Minister. He simply doesn't recognize his family!”
"What a fatuous ruler, China is finished!"
……
The commoners were worried. Some of them were already thinking of running away.
After all, what future could a country run by a fatuous ruler have?
The ministers and commoners of the surrounding countries also quickly learned of this matter. They all laughed at Lin Beifan, who loved beauties over the country. Xia Country was about to perish in the hands of such a fatuous ruler.
In the Mo Country's Imperial Palace.
The Mo Kingdom's Emperor was overjoyed.”
"Your Majesty, that's indeed the case. This is the letter of credence from Xia Country. Please take a look!”The envoy of the Desert Kingdom respectfully presented the letter of credence with both hands.
The Emperor of the Desert Kingdom opened it and was very satisfied.""Looks like it's true! However, I have doubts in my heart. My dear minister, tell me everything that happened at that time!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The envoy of the Mo Kingdom immediately recounted everything that had happened.
The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom listened attentively.
After the Mo Kingdom envoy finished speaking, he smiled and said,""Your Majesty, at the beginning, the Emperor of Xia Country did not agree either! However, when this lowly official proposed to offer the number one beauty of the Mo Kingdom, Wang Xiangjun, he immediately nodded in agreement! Even if all the officials in the court opposed him, he would still insist on his own way! For this, he even dismissed Prime Minister Xiao Guoliang!”
"Looks like this little Emperor is a lecherous person!”The Desert Kingdom's Emperor looked disdainful." You're giving up your country for a woman. How can you achieve anything great?!"”
"Your Majesty is right!" The emissary of the desert country bowed.
The Emperor of the Mo Kingdom stood with his hands behind his back and said proudly,""Since he wants it, then give it all to him! The day we obtain the iron mine will be the day our Desert Country rises! In order to avoid any more trouble, the 200,000 soldiers at the border would immediately enter the iron ore when the deal was made! At that time, even if they wanted to snatch it, they would not be able to snatch it back!”
"Your Majesty is wise!" The emissary of the desert country bowed again.
Thus, the Mo Country immediately gathered gold, silver, jewelry, food, and other materials to transport to the capital of Xia Country.
Lin Beifan confirmed it with just a glance.
After all, he had a sandbox of the empire in his mind. He had cleared out all the materials and resources in the country.
What interested him more was the veiled beauty in front of him.
Although she couldn't see the other party's face, from her jade-white skin, waterfall-like black hair, and graceful figure, she was definitely a stunning woman.
Moreover, the other party's body was emitting a strange fragrance that was refreshing and full of temptation.
"You're the number one beauty of the Mo Kingdom, Wang Xiangjun?" Lin Beifan asked with interest.”
