Fish swimming around the world

The empress actually stood up and left the throne, walked down the steps, and reached out to hold Jiang Fan's arm: "Thank you for your hard work, husband. Come, sit down and talk."

The ministers were all shocked. What did you say? Just like the daughter-in-law who welcomes her husband back, this is finally the court...

What was surprising was that the empress actually pulled him to sit down next to her throne. Everyone was shocked to realize that at some point, a large chair had been placed next to the throne.

Is this the empress Ying Wushuang who never allows anyone to come ten steps closer? No matter how you look at her right now, she has the attitude of sitting here if you don't want to.

Jiang Fan actually didn't refuse and sat down generously. The scene instantly became a bit like the coming of two saints.

The ministers didn't know how to react for a moment.

Jiang Fan's contribution is great, but this treatment is really a bit outrageous...

But just like before, no one dared to question the empress. So under the leadership of the very colorful Li Xiu, the officials immediately paid homage.

“I congratulate Your Majesty for your intimidation of Northern Xinjiang, and welcome the Regent’s victory and return to court——”

Even though it was a formal meeting, the empress didn't care about that. She just leaned over and said to Jiang Fan, "Is everything done?"

Jiang Fan also smiled and said, "Yeah, King He Hunxie has been secretly dealt with, and he also did some tricks to the Golden Tent."

The empress seemed to feel greatly relieved. She actually picked up the jade pot and poured him a glass of wine with her own hands: "Let's drink three glasses."

Jiang Fan immediately picked up a glass and drank three glasses of wine with her in a row, making the officials look stunned.

By the way, shouldn't you guys go back to Zhangtai Palace to do this...

Putting down the wine glass, the empress looked around the ministers and said with a smile: "This trip is very good. Dear friends, you may not know what is going on, so I will tell you. First, it is the first of its kind for our Chinese clan to threaten the northern border. This is history, and the Spring and Autumn Period should remember this!”

After saying this, her eyes became stern: "Everyone, you should know that this has been a shame for thousands of years. In my opinion, whether it is the Eighteen Kings or the Five Kingdoms, they are all caused by internal troubles. However, only when aliens cause trouble can the true species be destroyed. The danger of genocide.”

She looked at the civil and military officials who had become solemn with piercing eyes: "For thousands of years, the barbarians have invaded the border every year, and they have harvested grass and grain every year. The people have been miserable and miserable. My ancestors of the Chinese race have swallowed their anger and tried to value peace. But do you still remember the shame you have experienced in return?"

Seeing her scanning the ministers, Li Xiu slowly stepped out with a sad look on his face.

"In the thirty-first year of Zhou Taizu, the barbarian ancestors rose up in the northern Xinjiang. Millions of wild wolves invaded the south, and 600,000 people were killed and injured. In the end, Taizu cut off three thousand miles of land, paid five million in silver, and millions of stones in grain and grass. He endured the pain for a long time. The princess was sent away to the outside world and married to the bandit leader as a concubine..."

Meng Ao also stood up and sighed: "In the seventh year of Zhou Huaizong, 500,000 barbarians broke through the border and burned, killed and looted wantonly. As a last resort, they ceded the land to pay compensation and sent the fourteen-year-old Princess Yunshu to marry. Three years later, they could not bear the humiliation. Hanged himself to death..."

An old minister came out tremblingly: "In the first year of Xianzong, the barbarians marched south from Qin. The late king led 200,000 cavalry to meet the enemy, but only one tenth of them returned. Two of my princes were killed in the battle, and 700 members of the Ying family died for the country. Since then, Therefore, the entire Longxi area is occupied by wolves..."

A military general lamented angrily: "Fifty years ago, the barbarians took advantage of the chaos and invaded on a large scale, plundering countless people, wealth, and treasures. The evil thieves marched straight into the Chu territory, and even the imperial court was almost burned down..."

…

As they started talking more and more, one thing after another, it was outrageous.

Jiang Fan also felt depressed in his heart.

Until the empress waved her hand to stop everyone from speaking, "You can see, thousands of years of blood and tears are too many to write down. Take history as a guide. Raising tigers can only cause trouble, and allowing thieves to do evil will definitely succeed. It is a pity that the nation is in civil strife, and foreign enemies are difficult to resist. Our dignified Chinese people have been humiliated, and our beautiful country has been trampled. Hundreds of millions of people are suffering, and this is my deepest concern!”

The ministers held their breath and concentrated, and a depressing atmosphere enveloped the hall.

"Therefore, although the internal worries are not settled, I do not want to make any more compromises. Fortunately, the heaven-descended regent Jiang Fan has an unparalleled reputation. He has traveled to the northern border three times without weakening the family's prestige. This time he returned with a great victory, which is enough for the world to witness. The unyielding spirit of our great Qin Dynasty and the unyielding heart of our people are thousands of times greater than those of these one hundred thousand cattle and sheep, and millions of gold and silver!”

Her voice was like the sound of gold and iron, which seemed to spread outside the palace and shocked the whole world.

"The Prince Regent has said that those who offend our Chinese people will be punished no matter how far away they are! From today on, I will only fight with the barbarians as a national policy. Those who are good at compromise will be punished!"

As soon as the words came out, it was like a sword splitting thousands of miles of dense clouds, with a sonorous meaning that shook the earth and shocked the heavens.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became as awe-inspiring as a dragon.

Jiang Fan also felt his blood boiling for a moment, but he understood that the empress was expressing an attitude and putting an end to the consistent voices of compromise between the DPRK and China.

At the same time, this sound will reach as far as the northern border, shocking the barbarians and making them afraid to act rashly.

The current war is not an expedition, but a defensive war.

"The word war means opening up borders and defending territory. This is our bounden duty. The Hunxie King's troops invaded the border, which made us understand more clearly that we should have both offense and defense. I intend to defend one by one, connect the border fortresses, and build the Great Wall to solidify the border. This is The great military plan has been made a long-term national policy by me. Attack one way and increase the Zhenbei army by 100,000 to deter the foreign tribes. The barbarians will not be destroyed, and the Zhenbei army will no longer be able to return. "

Jiang Fan was immediately shocked. It turned out that she had always cared about the long city that she had mentioned to the empress. This time she took this opportunity to finally bring it up. This showed that she had made up her mind.

Looking at the state of the ministers, Jiang Fan understood that she had discussed this matter more than once. Now with the recovery of national power and the barbarian invasion of the border, it has finally become a national policy.

This matter did not wait until the unification of the five kingdoms before starting. Although in this case, only Qin was doing it, it laid a solid foundation for the future.

The expansion of the Zhenbei Army and the barbarians' return without destruction were similar to the history of the previous life, except that it was in the southern border at that time.

But this matter also shocked Jiang Fan greatly. For the first time, he had a deeper understanding of the empress. His pattern in terms of ethnicity and country surpassed everyone of his time.

With the ministers' loud response, this matter was finally completely determined.

Then, when the ministers were excited, the empress smiled again, "The second achievement of the regent this time is that the Feng family's dark dynasty will withdraw from the Qin Dynasty!"

This statement immediately caused a huge shock. Not everyone knew about this matter. Obviously, the regent's trip to the northern border had other deep meanings. It was actually to deal with the Feng family and the dark dynasty to withdraw from the Qin Dynasty? This... How did this happen?

The empress did not explain this in detail, but only said that the Feng family had lost to the regent in the northern border and had begun to withdraw from Qin five days ago. Within five years, there would be no Dark Dynasty in the Qin Dynasty.

Wow, the ministers were immediately delighted.

This means that within five years, the Qin Dynasty will no longer be in danger of the Dark Dynasty, and from now on it can focus on internal affairs, enrich the country and strengthen the army. This is a rare opportunity for great development.

Although it is five years, if it is managed properly, after five years, will the Dark Dynasty have a chance to infiltrate again?

How did they do it? It's incredible! Looking at the regent who was sitting with a smile, everyone felt that he was unfathomable.
