The Jagged Empire of Daqin

"When Wei Shang destroys Yue, it will be the day when Wei Gong leads his army back to Zhongtian Imperial Capital!" Wei Gong said in a soft voice with no expression on his face.

Since the success of Wei Shang Palace, the Wei Gong party has been hiding in Tibet, living a life of being hunted and killed every day, no different from a bereaved dog, but the emperor pays off, the Wei Gong party has just ascended the throne after the Great Moon Empire The emperor Wei Tianlan accepted them secretly.

PS: "Ask for recommendation tickets, ask for monthly tickets, ask for full reservations, and ask for three daily tickets!"

Chapter 447 Three years in power, Shou Gong Shayi is here!

With Wei Tianlan's secret help, Wei Gong already has 20 troops in his hands, and these 20 troops are training in the deep mountains and old forests on the Yueyue border.

The rebellious officials and thieves of the Great Wei Empire didn't know, let alone they didn't know that the Wei Palace had 20 soldiers and horses. Even the Wei Palace ran to the Great Moon Empire. It's not that they didn't send people to investigate, but they found nothing. In addition, the Great Moon Empire and the Great Wei Empire had a rule of non-interference in each other's affairs.

After Wei Shang conquered Wu, Wei Shang seemed to have forgotten the Wei Palace Party and completely focused on unifying Kyushu. Perhaps for Wei Shang, the Wei Palace Party is just a clown. It’s okay if they don’t come out. He could be crushed to death in an instant. After all, he has millions of iron troops under his command, and his generals are like a cloud. It is normal that he doesn't care about Wei Gong, a bereaved dog.

But the facts have proved that Wei Shang underestimated Wei Gong, oh no, he should have underestimated Tang Shao. Under Tang Shao's careful planning, Wei Gong already had the ability to regain the throne, but it needed an opportunity, and this opportunity was Wei Shang's death. cross.

Although Wei Shang had millions of iron troops and strong generals like a cloud, Wei Shang lost more than 20 soldiers and horses in the Wei Wu war, and even died two generals of the second rank. Although recruited and supplemented, the overall strength of the Wei army is inevitable. of.

The national strength of the Great Yue Empire and the Great Wu Empire is not much different, but the Yuejia soldiers of the Great Yue Empire are notoriously strong. If Wei Shang wants to destroy the Great Yue Empire, he will definitely pay a higher price than destroying Wu. Raise the banner of killing the rebels, and then arouse the revenge of the subjugated Wu people and Yue people, and fight against the violent Wei together!

"I'm looking forward to the day when the crown prince returns to Zhongtian Imperial Capital!" Wei Tianlan smiled sweetly, showing all kinds of charm.

Wei Shang intends to seize Kyushu, which is not a good thing for the Great Moon Empire, but if he can help Wei Gong regain the throne, then the Great Moon Empire will turn from danger to safety!

Wei Gong couldn't help being absent-minded for a while, Tang Shao noticed Wei Gong's strangeness, and lightly raised his leg to touch Wei Gong, Wei Gong immediately regained his composure, and couldn't help but feel ashamed. Absent.

But even so, Wei Gong sometimes feels regretful, regretting that Wei Tianlan is the empress and has a blood relationship with him, otherwise it would be a good thing to marry Wei Tianlan as his wife.

"Report!"

At this time, there was an urgent report from outside the Zhongshu Palace, and everyone turned around subconsciously, and saw a young female guard with a sword standing outside the palace respectfully and saluting. This female guard was not an ordinary female guard, but He is Wei Tianlan's confidant, and also the commander of the female servant army, named Shangguan Huan!

Wei Tianlan cast a glance at Shangguan Huan, then replied calmly, "Come in!"

As soon as the words fell, Shangguan Huan strode into the Zhongshu Palace. Although Shangguan Huan was a girl, her martial arts were not weak, and she was a strong man at the peak!

When Shangguan Huan walked to Tang Shao's side, he stopped and bowed down with a solemn and respectful expression to make a report: "His Majesty, the envoy of Qin is waiting outside the palace to ask to see His Majesty!"

The news of the Qin envoy going to the moon had been spread as early as a month ago. The emperors and ministers of the Great Moon Empire had already prepared for this, so they were not surprised. I still feel very confused, because I don't know the purpose of the Great Qin Empire sending envoys.

"Princess Tang Prime Minister, please stay away for now!" Wei Tianlan said, looking at Tang Shao and the others with a smile on his face.

Tang Shao, Wei Gong, and Wei Shuyi nodded to show their understanding, and then under the guidance of Prime Minister Zuo Rong, they retreated to the back of the bookshelves. They can't see the light yet, otherwise, the Moon Empire will bear the wrath of the Great Wei Empire, Tang Shao's plan would also be aborted.

After the three of them hid, Wei Tianlan said to Shangguan Huan, the commander of the female servants: "Xuanqin Envoy, come in!"

"Obey!" Shangguan Huan bowed respectfully in response, then turned around and walked away.

Before the Qin envoy arrived, Prime Minister You Bi Zhen couldn't help but asked in doubt: "What is the purpose of the Qin Empire sending envoys to Da Yue?"

"Could it be a declaration of war?" Zuo Prime Minister Qiao Rong said in surprise, even thinking about the possibility of declaring war.

"Declaration of war?" Wei Tianlan smiled lightly, playing with the hair hanging down the ears with one hand, "Although the Qin Empire stationed troops and horses at Yanshui Pass, the Qin Empire has no reason to go to war with Da Yue. If he fights with Da Yue, he can get What's the benefit? Could it be that Emperor Qin wants to snatch me to be the Queen of Qin?"

"Puff!"

Bi Zhen and Qiao Rong couldn't help holding back their laughter when they heard the last joke.

"Cough cough!" Bi Zhen coughed feignedly, and stooped to make a report, suppressing a smile: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to find a son-in-law!"

The corner of Wei Tianlan's mouth curled up, and he said arrogantly: "The world is so big, but there is no man worthy of me. Let's not talk about the matter of finding the emperor's son-in-law. Anyway, I, Da Yue, am not without a candidate to inherit the throne!"

The scope of the Great Moon Empire's selection of empresses is very large, and all descendants of the past three generations of empresses have the opportunity to become empresses.

Hearing Wei Tianlan's words, Qiao Rong showed agreement, while Bi Zhen felt quite helpless. Qiao Rong was still young and didn't know right from wrong, but Bizhen was a veteran who knew the consequences of the empress' death without an offspring. That would cause the court to panic.

She didn't know how many times she had told Wei Tianlan about this matter, but Wei Tianlan refused to find the emperor's son-in-law every time with the excuse that there was no man to match. As a result, Wei Tianlan had been in power for three years, and Shougong Shayi was there. It is clear that Wei Tianlan is very proud and will never allow a man weaker than her to occupy her. If there is really no outstanding man, Wei Tianlan may really become a real loner, and eventually pass the throne to other emperors.

For this point, Bi Zhen also fully understands, after all, she is the Empress, so it is natural to be arrogant, not to mention the Empress, even when she was looking for a husband, she hated it one way or another.

Now Bi Zhen only hopes that that outstanding man will show up sooner, so as not to panic the court.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of Qin has arrived!"

After a while, Shangguan Huan's voice came from outside the hall, Bi Zhen and Qiao Rong turned their heads to look, and saw Shangguan Huan standing outside the hall with a man in black official uniform, watching the man's official Egret Buzi is embroidered on the clothes, so you know that it is the head of the sixth rank of the Ministry of Rites.

The three of the Moon Empire were not angry that the Qin envoy was only in charge of the sixth rank of the Ministry of Rites. The strength of the Moon Empire was deep, and they knew very well that if it hadn't been for the power of the Great Wei Empire, the Moon Empire would have been divided up by neighboring countries long ago.

Chapter 448 The idea of ​​playing a one-handed Qin crossbow!

"Come in!" Wei Tianlan yelled expressionlessly!

"Emissary Qin please!"

Shangguan Huan faced the Qin envoy Wang Wei, and stretched out his hand toward the Zhongshu palace. The Qin envoy Wang Wei calmly saluted, and then walked into the Zhongshu palace, and Shangguan Huan followed closely. When the Qin envoy Wang Wei left When he was three steps ahead of the imperial case, he stopped.

Before the Qin envoy Wang Wei could pay his respects, Wei Tianlan stared at the Qin envoy Wang Wei with majestic Danfeng eyes, and asked in a neutral tone, "Why is the Qin envoy here?"

Wei Tianlan had no expression on his face, and he exuded the majesty of a generation of empress without anger, but Wang Wei, the envoy of Qin, did not take the majesty of the empress seriously. What a joke, he is a sixth-rank official at any rate, and he often goes up to see His Majesty face to face. His majesty's majesty as an emperor, the majesty of a female emperor is simply incomparable.

"Foreign minister Wang Wei, pay homage to His Majesty the Moon Emperor!" Qin envoy Wang Wei bowed in a salute neither humble nor overbearing, then straightened his back and said with a faint smile: "It took me two years to conquer the Northwest Desert and surrender More than three million Huns!"

"The Northwest Desert is the heart disease of the countries of Kyushu. It has been a disaster for the countries of the Northwest for thousands of years. Today, our Daqin eradicates the heart disease and cures the heart disease. In early April next year, we will hold the Kyushu Feast Ceremony and invite the countries of Kyushu to the banquet to celebrate the suffering of the Northwest. The disappearance of the ministers, this visit is to invite Da Yue to participate in this feast!"

"Invite the nations of the Nine Provinces? Haha, the Qin Empire is really magnificent. I am afraid that there will only be Qin in the past and present!" Wei Tianlan looked at Wang Wei with a half-smile and smiled.

Wang Wei smiled and said nothing!

Wei Tianlan felt that he didn't have anything to say, so he waved his jade hand lightly and said, "I will send people to this Kyushu feast ceremony, and the envoy of Qin can retreat first!"

"Foreign ministers leave!" Wang Wei resolutely, after saluting and resigning, he quickly left Zhongshu Palace!

After Qin envoy Wang Wei left Zhongshu Palace, Tang Shao, Wei Gong, and Wei Shuyi walked out from behind the bookshelf.

"I heard that the Great Qin conquered the northwest desert by relying on a single-handed crossbow that could shoot three hundred steps and easily break through armor at two hundred steps. The Qin army's iron cavalry relied on this kind of crossbow to defeat the Xiongnu and the Huns with only tens of thousands of troops. The Qiang people, the Qin Empire conquered the Northwest Desert in only two years, and this mighty contribution is indispensable!" Prime Minister Bi Zhen's eyes flashed brightly.

If the Great Moon Empire was equipped with this kind of crossbow, then a regular army of 20 would be enough to resist foreign enemies, and even expand its territory!

"What will happen if Brother Huang gets this kind of crossbow?" Wei Shuyi asked in vain.

Tang Shao answered directly: "The confidence of regaining the throne can be increased by [-]%!"

Wei Tianlan, Wei Gong, and Qiao Rong were silent, but judging from their expressions, they all had the idea of ​​using this crossbow. For a while, the Great Moon Empire and Wei Gong wanted to get a lot of crossbows!

"Can I buy it?" Qiao Rong raised her eyebrows.

"Alas" Wei Gong sighed, "This powerful crossbow is the great weapon of the Qin Empire. It is impossible to sell this kind of weapon to other countries. The lion opened its mouth wide!"

Wei Gong's tone was full of helplessness, let alone whether the Qin Empire would sell it, even if he sold it, he couldn't afford it. His current 20 secret army was all trained and raised by the Moon Empire, and the Moon Empire was not He is very rich, and now he has an additional 20 troops, and the treasury does not have much money.

Not only Wei Gong felt helpless, Tang Shao also felt powerless, money, the root of all evil!

"I have a way, maybe we can get the Qin Empire to sell us a one-handed crossbow!" Wei Tianlan seemed to have thought of a way, with a faint smile on his face.

"any solution?"

Everyone's eyes lit up, looking at Wei Tianlan with anticipation.

Wei Tianlan didn't reply in a hurry, but looked at the slim Wei Shuyi. Everyone followed Wei Tianlan's gaze and looked at Wei Shuyi in unison.

"Shuyi is nine out of ten this year, and she should have reached the age of marriage. I think that with Shuyi's talent and appearance, won the heart of Emperor Qin, wouldn't it be within easy reach?" Wei Tianlan looked at Wei Shuyi with a half-smile on his face. .

The implication of Wei Tianlan's words is to let Wei Shuyi win Emperor Qin's favor. As long as Emperor Qin let go, are you afraid that he won't get a one-handed Qin crossbow?

Wei Gong frowned, and said rather displeasedly: "How can this be possible, Shuyi is the princess of the Great Wei Empire, extremely noble, how can she be a commodity for trade!"

Even though he has been displaced for a long time, Wei Gong still has his pride!

Tang Shao did not express his views on this issue and remained silent.

Wei Shuyi took a deep breath, looked solemnly at Wei Gong who was frowning, and said: "Brother, I have decided, I am willing to marry Emperor Qin, win Emperor Qin's favor, and let the Qin Empire bestow a crossbow to Brother Emperor!"

"Shuyi..."

Wei Gong was about to say something, but Wei Shuyi suddenly interrupted: "Brother, you don't need to say too much, I've made up my mind, I'm not just for the sake of my brother, but also to avenge my father!" Wei Shuyi's eyes couldn't help turning red as she spoke. Get up, with tears shining.

Wei Gong gritted his teeth, with a look of unbearable expression on his face, "This...you are so wronged like this!"

Wei Shuyi shook her head, forced a smile and said, "Brother Emperor, this little grievance is nothing, as long as you can avenge your father, everything is worth it!"

"The righteousness of the nine princesses, Bizhen admires it!"

"The Nine Princesses designed for the father and the country, Qiao Rong admires it!"

The left and right prime ministers looked admiringly and saluted Wei Shuyi as a show of respect.

Wei Tianlan smiled knowingly, as long as Wei Shuyi got some one-handed Qin crossbows, she could let the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of War imitate them. Once imitated, the Great Moon Empire would no longer be afraid of any imperial invasion!

"If Shuyi marries Emperor Qin, in what capacity?" Wei Gong asked, staring at Wei Tianlan.

Wei Tianlan fell silent, lost in thought between his brows, and after a moment of thought, he replied: "This is a bit difficult!"

Wei Shuyi is now a fugitive from the Great Wei Empire. Her title of Ninth Princess of the Great Wei Empire is useless, and no one will recognize her. They will only think that Wei Shuyi is a fugitive. In this way, she naturally cannot use her status as the Ninth Princess of the Great Wei Empire .

But without the identity of the Ninth Princess of the Great Wei Empire, Wei Shuyi couldn't get close to Emperor Qin at all, unless she used the identity of the Great Moon Royal Family, but once she used the identity of the Great Moon Royal Family, it would definitely arouse the surprise of the Great Wei Empire, because the Great Moon Empire never let him It is the first time for a princess to marry another country.

PS: Ying Chang glanced at the millions of black-armored troops behind him, then turned his head to look at Wei Shang and said with a smile: "If you don't hand over your monthly and recommendation tickets, I will lead a million Qin soldiers to slaughter all your Wei people." !"

Chapter 449 Wei Shuyi wants to win Emperor Qin's favor!

You can't use the status of the Nine Princesses of the Great Wei Empire, and you can't use the status of the Great Moon Royal Family. How did Wei Shuyi get close to Emperor Qin? Yidang, already in power at the age of 12!

After taking power, he implemented national policies internally, restored national power, fought against the Jin army externally, and regained lost ground. When he was 17 years old, he led his own cavalry to conquer the Northwest Desert. Looking at the Qin Emperor in just a dozen years, he knew that the Qin Emperor was eternal. The peerless emperor who emerged.

For a peerless emperor like this, non-royal women are not eligible to enter his harem. Of course, non-royal women refer to other countries.

"His Royal Highness, do you still remember Qingyun Division Qingyun Ling Changqing?" Tang Shao suddenly remembered a person, and immediately said his detailed position and name.

evergreen?

Wei Tianlan, Bi Zhen, and Qiao Rong frowned, and couldn't help feeling puzzled. Obviously, they were unfamiliar with this name, but Wei Gong and Wei Shuyi were familiar with this name!

"Of course I remember, it was the prince who recruited him into the court and let him serve for the court. Unfortunately, he returned to the Qin Empire not long after, and he never heard from him again. Prime Minister Tang suddenly mentioned Chang Qing. Can Chang Qing help us?" Wei Gong asked.

He had a good relationship with Chang Qing back then, and they often sat together to discuss how to crack down on corrupt officials. At the beginning, he thought that after he ascended the throne, he would give Chang Qing more power to arrest corrupt officials freely. Dirty officials!

It's a pity that Chang Qing didn't take the position of Qingyun Ling for a long time, so he said he would go back to the Qin Empire, but he never came back, and he never came back, and he didn't get any news from Chang Qing. He gradually forgot about Chang Qing because of his busy schedule. This number.

"I heard from Chang Qing that his father, Chang Zifei, was the official minister of the Qin Empire!" Wei Shuyi also said at this time.

Wei Shuyi also met Chang Qing a few times. To be honest, Wei Shuyi thought about marrying Chang Qing at the beginning, and expressed her love several times. Unfortunately, the girl had no intention of being a lover, and eventually left Wei with Chang Qing. The love between them was cut off by the knife of time.

Tang Shao couldn't help but smile on his face, and then stroked his beard in a cool and elegant way and said: "The prince is right, Chang Qing can help us, as far as I know, Chang Qing's father, Chang Zifei, helped Emperor Qin Palace changes, wanton corruption and bribery, selling officials and selling nobles, seeking money to train the dead!"

"After Emperor Qin came to power, he appointed Chang Zifei as prime minister, and Emperor Qin also tapped Chang Qing's talent for investigation. He set up a supervisory office to monitor all officials, focusing on corrupt officials. Because Emperor Qin wanted to eliminate the imperial court, he massacred the queen mother. The remnants of one party have resulted in a large number of vacancies!"

"Emperor Qin ordered Chang Zifei to be responsible for promoting low-level officials and supplementing court officials. Now seven years have passed, and Chang Zifei has promoted all the officials in the Qin court. sky!"

"So, wouldn't it be possible to introduce Shuyi to Emperor Qin through this Changqing's hand?" Wei Tianlan looked at Tang Shao thoughtfully and said.

Tang Shao nodded, exactly what he meant!

"Okay, let's do this, so when will we leave?" Wei Shuyi's beautiful face showed a trace of eagerness, wishing to marry Emperor Qin now and get the Qin Empire's one-handed Qin crossbow.

Bi Zhen waved his hand, and said calmly: "Your Highness Ninth Princess, don't be in a hurry, this matter cannot be rushed!"

"Why can't you be in a hurry?" Wei Shuyi frowned, not understanding the meaning behind it.

Tang Shao bowed to Wei Shuyi, "His Royal Highness Nine Provinces, you must know that the Qin Empire is planning to hold the Kyushu Feast Ceremony in early April next year, and has invited the kingdoms of the Kyushu Provinces. It is possible that the Wei Empire will also participate. On the day of the Kyushu Feast Ceremony, Emperor Qin must I will lead the harem to the banquet together, and His Royal Highness the Ninth Princess will definitely be among them!"

"If the envoys to Qin and Wei get to know His Royal Highness the Nine Princesses, Wei Shang will definitely be more vigilant. At that time, it will be more difficult for the crown prince to win the throne than ascending to the sky. So we have to wait until the end of the Kyushu feast ceremony, and the Wei envoy leaves, and then Chang Qing recommended, this matter should not be rushed, otherwise it will backfire!"

"Indeed!" Wei Tianlan nodded in agreement.

"Okay!" Wei Shuyi couldn't help showing disappointment on her face.

After a while, Tang Shao, Wei Gong, and Wei Shuyi left the palace and returned to live in a restaurant.

Ten days later, the Great Qin Emperor Ying Chang and the Qin Wu King Bai Qi were still on their way to attack Yan, but the news that the Great Qin Empire had declared war on the Great Yan Empire had spread throughout the northwestern countries. The Jin Empire was indifferent on the surface, but in fact, the ruling and opposition parties cheered inwardly:

Fight!Fight!

Not only the ruling and opposition parties of the Jin Empire were cheering, Qi, Zhao, Chu, Han, and Xia were all cheering, because the strength of the Great Qin Empire had already made them feel threatened, so they were still very happy to see Qin Yan fight hard.

On July 14th, [-]th year of the Holy Qin Dynasty, at noon, the Great Qin Empire, Xianyang City, and the main hall of the Ministry of Rites!

In the main hall of the Ministry of Rites, Kong, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, was dressed in a neat official uniform and sat on the top chair in the middle hall. On the desk in front of him were many documents. These documents were sent back by envoys to other countries, and the contents of the documents were not particularly important. Things, such as whether you have met a bandit, where you are now, how long it is expected to take to reach your destination, etc.

The reason why the envoys to other countries send back such information is to ensure that the envoy is in a safe state. If there is no feedback from a certain envoy for a long time, then it is very likely that he was killed. The envoy approximates the location, and then resends the envoy to take over the affairs of the killed envoy, and at the same time informs the local government to arrest the murderer. If it is in another country, it must inform the court of that country that the Qin envoy was killed in a certain place.

Generally speaking, the envoys will not be killed, because the envoys will not bring too much money when they set off, and ordinary bandits will not look down on them at all. Apart from this, there is also the special nature of the envoys. The envoys represent an empire. Killed in a certain place, if the local government fails to catch the murderer, a layer of skin will be peeled off. If it is killed in another country, then the local government will be even more miserable. If the murderer cannot be found, the head will be gone.

If the government is miserable, the government will spread its anger on the bandits, and will suppress the bandits at all costs. Even the government that has colluded with the bandits will kill relatives righteously. After all, it is not good for you to kill anyone, but to kill the envoys of other countries.
