I'm playing tricks in Daqin

Successive defeats have seriously injured Dajin's vitality, and he is temporarily unable to fish in troubled waters for a short period of time, so he can only retreat outside the pass to recuperate and re-accumulate war energy.

This time in the chaos of the Central Plains, he had seized the opportunity, and he was only a little bit short of gaining a foothold in the Central Plains. It can only be said that he was unlucky, and all of this was due to the damn Qin Empire.

After retreating to Tiandu County, Dabudu Khan has been paying close attention to the chaos in the mainland, and at the same time paying special attention to any actions of the Qin Empire. For him, the Qin Empire is his mortal enemy and nemesis, and he can't care less.

To be honest, he is still unable to ascertain the true intentions of the Qin Empire, nor can he understand the reason why the Qin people want to fight him to the end instead of fishing in the muddy water with great opportunities?He couldn't figure it out, so he had to keep it in his heart. He didn't want to. The secret agent lurking in Chang'an sent back the answer he wanted to know the most, but the answer was really dumbfounding. It was obviously a lie. He is dignified Will the overlord of the prairie steal an iron pot from the Li family?Besides, he has never been to Chang'an in his life, so he has no chance to steal it, right?It's just nonsense, the reason why he threw the glass was because he was angry with the secret spy lurking in Chang'an, the bastard bastard, and sent back this kind of dumbfounding news, did he want to piss him off? "Father Khan, I should go to Chang'an myself."

The fourth prince, Fulongduo, had other ideas in his mind. Those who acted as secret spies had been carefully selected, and they were much smarter than ordinary people. One more thing, the secret spies lurking in Chang'an City dared to make fun of their father Khan, and they were not afraid of being caught. Cut off the head?

As the saying goes, there are no waves without wind, and the latent secret spies must find out the news before passing it back. However, this information is really a bit dumbfounding.

Whether it’s true or false, you only need to send someone to Chang’an, the capital of the Qin Emperor, to tell the truth from the false. The reason why Fulongduo wants to go there in person is because he admires the culture of the Central Plains, so he can take a walk, take a look, and increase his knowledge. , By the way, buy some books and read them back. It would be nice to collect some useful information.

Secondly, he really had other ideas in his heart, but he had to confirm whether the news was true or not before making a decision.

"That's fine, you warn those bastard slaves on my behalf, I'll put their heads down first!"

Sweat profusely and grunt and said, these guys, who are used to enjoying the blessings over there, dare to send back such a bastard information.

Afterwards, the fourth prince Fulongduo disguised himself as a businessman and took only four loyal guards out of Tiandu County by night, bypassed Xinyang County, went to Jianghuai via Huangzhou, and then crossed the river to Chang'an City, the capital of the Qin Emperor.

He admired the Central Plains culture since he was a child, read a lot of books, and often imitated the Central Plains people in clothing, housing and food. He spoke fluent Jinyin, which is a different kind of existence outside the Great Wall. If it were an ordinary person, he might have no bones left. He is a four-year-old Prince, the future heir, who dares to criticize?

Even if there are criticisms, no one can do anything to win him.

Yinzi opened the way, and with the fluent accent of the Jin Empire population, Fulongduo and his party went smoothly. However, after arriving in Jianghuai, Fulongduo suddenly changed his mind and stayed in Jianghuai City.

He wandered around the city for a few days, bought the Four Treasures of the Study, a large number of books, and several carts of silk cloth, and then returned to Tiandu County.

In fact, he didn't need to go to Chang'an to confirm the authenticity of the news. This matter has been spread among the people, everyone knows, and everyone agrees that the news came from the palace. It is the king's private and most trusted minister. What you say is full of real gold, and no one can deceive you.

Ordinary people are not allowed to comment on the affairs of the royal family, offenders will be beheaded, at most they will discuss a few words secretly in private, how dare they make it so public, Furondo immediately confirmed that the news is true.

However, this news is really dumbfounding. This may be the most absurd excuse to start a war in Cangyun Continent, but it also allowed him to capture a little information from it. King Qin didn't belittle his father, but he didn't even bother to find an excuse to start a war. Well, perhaps, the Qin Empire's deadly confrontation with Dajin was only because of Mingzhu's personal reasons?

If it was just like this, it would be easy. He believed that as long as King Qin was not a fool or a fool, he would definitely accept his suggestion.

When the Cangyun Continent is in chaos, the water will be as muddy as it is. Muddy water is easy to fish. If you miss it, you will regret it. This is a truth that every fool understands. The kingdoms join hands to carve up the world, and when the time comes, each of them will fight to the death according to their own abilities. This is definitely a temptation that no king can refuse.

Taking a step back, even if the two sides do not cooperate, they can still fight each other and occupy one side separately, and the result is still the same. This is completely in the interests of the Qin Empire.

For a woman, the two countries are deadlocked, and the golden opportunity that is rarely seen in a hundred years is missed. It is definitely not the action of a wise king with great talents and plans.

For the young Qin King, Fulong gave a very high evaluation. The previous mythical legends, coupled with the rapid rise of the Qin Empire, and the successful annexation of the Wei and Tang empires, etc., are enough to show that this young Qin King is A wise gentleman with great talent and general strategy, I believe his vision will not be so short-sighted.

Of course, to persuade this young King of Qin to form an alliance or cooperate, he must pay a certain amount of benefits. He has already estimated in his heart, and he feels that the chance of success is still very high. Therefore, instead of going to Chang'an, he is excited He rushed home to ask his father Khan for credit.

Li Wei didn't know that one of his own jokes would make Dubudu sweat so much that he almost vomited blood, and even labored for Longfudo to run around in person, dreaming a beautiful dream.

This joke comes from the Internet. The reason why Lao Sa was beaten up by Mi Jun is because he stole the rice cooker from Abu’s house.

In private, Wu You asked him why he hated the tribes outside the Great Wall so deeply, and he told Wu You this "allusion,"

Wu You used it to fool the ministers, and gradually it spread.

Fulongduo rushed back to Tiandu County excitedly, and told his father Khan what he thought in his heart. After all, Khan felt that the plan was feasible and the chance of success was very high. He summoned the leaders of all tribes, big and small. discussion.

It is said to be a discussion, but in fact he has the final say. Even if some people think that the Dajin Empire has been damaged in successive battles, its vitality has been seriously injured, and it needs to recuperate, it will not change the thinking of many people. Soldiers from all tribes were ordered to assemble one after another and rushed to Tiandu County to stand by.

While the army was gathering, Dabudu profusely ordered people to rush to make a hundred golden pots, each of which weighed 20 jin, and were of exactly the same color and size.

For a super local tyrant at the imperial level, 20 taels of silver is nothing at all, but a hundred gold golden pots placed together are very spectacular, and they will definitely brighten the eyes of the blind, not to mention, a hundred golden pots The pot is just a gimmick. In addition, there are many valuable antiques, calligraphy, paintings, pearls and agates, all of which are worth 100 million taels of silver.

These are all gifts from Da Khan to the King of Qin alone. As for the princes and ministers, there are other gifts, totaling 200 million taels of silver.

Two million taels of silver is not a small amount. Although it is a bit painful to sweat profusely, but before entering the Central Plains and capturing Yiyang Province, the amount of gold and silver and other valuables that was looted was more than ten times that?Moreover, for the sake of Dajin, he even acquiesced in stealing the iron rod, so why would he care about this mere 200 million taels of silver?I stole a black iron pot from you, and returned you a hundred golden pots, as well as a lot of valuable stuff, isn’t that sincere enough?

It’s not that Dudu Khan entrusted Fulongduo with the important task of envoy to the Qin Empire this time. The idea was his idea, and he was the successor he cultivated with all his strength. Naturally, let him make meritorious deeds, establish prestige, and deter all tribes The leader of the Khan will be able to secure his position in the future.

Under the escort of 50 tribal warriors, Fulongduo escorted more than [-] convoys full of gold pots and other valuables on the road, taking the road to Huangzhou Provincial County.

Chapter 523 I Have Great Hope

Tian You is the son of Tian Ce, the chief assistant of the cabinet, one of the most outstanding figures in the second generation, and a model for the younger generation to learn from. Huangzhou, as one of the frontier fortresses of the Great Qin Dynasty, naturally has a reassuring personality like Tian You The general sits in charge.

Influenced by his father, Tian Youyuan also took the road of a counselor. After performing some special tasks and many experiences, he changed his mind and wanted to be an immortal general who commands the army, fights on the battlefield, and establishes immortal feats. .

He was considered a monk halfway, but with his extraordinary talent and practical training, he established his position in the army, was valued by Li Wei, and was given the heavy responsibility of guarding Huangzhou.

Like all generals, he is eager to fight, to make meritorious service, and to be promoted to rank. Huangzhou is a newly occupied county and is one of the border gates of the Great Qin Dynasty. The geographical location is also extremely important. He set up the city defense of Huangzhou to the extreme, and waited for a long time to send a large army to attack the city. However, he was busy for half a month, and he didn't see a single golden soldier. It didn't take long for winter to come, and the war ended. Let him and his subordinates be as depressed as they want.

Days passed by, but Tian still didn't dare to be careless. In addition to strengthening his vigilance, he still spilled a lot of money at night. Long Fuduo's mission had not yet entered the boundary of Huangzhou. He had already received the information, and while flying pigeons Report to Chang'an, while making preparations to welcome the mission.

Fulongduo led the embassy to Huangzhou. He would rather go a long way than take the Xinyang Road. The guard of Xinyang County is the pearl, and she is the mortal enemy of Dajin.

Marching mightily along the way, passing through some counties, towns and villages under the jurisdiction of Yiyang, the houses are dilapidated, weeds are overgrown, and catkins are everywhere. Not to mention people, there is not a single ghost.

Fulongduo was touched by the scene, and he couldn't help but sigh. If all the hundreds of thousands of people in Yiyang Province and counties can be moved out of the customs, the strength of Dajin will be further strengthened. Unfortunately, such a good thing, let Mingzhu destroy it , All the hundreds of thousands of people of the Jin Empire in Yiyang Province were relocated to Xinyang Huangzhou and other places, and Yiyang Province became a deserted ghost land.

Of course, it’s not true that there are no living people. There are also a very small number of people who are unwilling to give up the fields left by their ancestors, and stubborn old people who refuse to leave. The reason is that the young and strong ran here to hide, and many desperadoes, robbers, rangers, scattered warriors, etc. also rushed into this unowned area, designated the land as the king, and formed intricate forces. In a dark paradise, the law of nature is followed by the law of the jungle.

There are dozens of these dark forces, large and small, fighting with each other, the weak and the strong prey on the weak, and the weak small groups will either surrender or be wiped out. There is no chance of any luck. After many times of fighting, only The next three forces are powerful and tyrannical, one is the Qinglong Gang headed by the robber Chang Wu who robbed houses, the other is the Blue Clothes Society headed by Jin Lan Feng, and the other is the Youyou Gang headed by the former Jin Ying Yanglang General Pang Yu. The soldiers are scattered and brave, showing a three-legged force.

The strength of the three forces is not much different, and there are thousands of people in each. They also knew that Fulongduo led the mission, and they were not unmoved, but in the end, they were frightened by the strength of the golden cavalry, and they could only watch the big fat Pass by the door.

As soon as Fulongduo's mission entered the boundary of Huangzhou province, a thousand Qing cavalry from the Qin army came to escort them under the order of Tian You. The situation in the mainland was divided and united. Tomorrow, there may be missions from each other. If you see this kind of thing a lot, you will get used to it. Therefore, Tian You still received Fujiang Longduo's mission according to the usual etiquette before receiving the king's instructions.

The mission arrived at the Nujiang River via the Jianghuai province, and crossed the river on a navy warship. The keeled warship was much more stable, but except for Fulongduo and a few others, the entire mission vomited. , his eyes turned white, and his whole body was limp without a trace of strength.

These tribal warriors rode war horses for many years, and when they got on the boat, they felt light under their feet and couldn't put their strength on it, and seasickness was inevitable.

After disembarking, the mission had to rest in a nearby county town for two days before regrouping and arriving in Chang'an, the capital of the Qin Emperor, half a month later.

When all civil and military officials saw a hundred golden cauldrons, their eyes widened. Could it be that the rumor is true?Li Wei was also stunned for a while, maybe his sweaty head was pinched?

He didn't mean to underestimate everyone, this old guy is very powerful and ambitious, but it's a pity that he met his brother, who traveled through the crowd and had a golden finger.

Li Wei waved his hand and signaled the little eunuch to take away all the presents. Don't take the free money. As for Fulong's intentions, he doesn't care so much.

After a group of little eunuchs moved away a hundred golden pots and valuable antique calligraphy, paintings and jewelry, he looked at Fulongduo with great interest.

In terms of appearance, this guy is so-so, he can be regarded as a handsome guy, he is dressed in Central Plains attire, with a bit of elegance, and he is quite attractive to the young lady Huaichun. In addition, he is tall, with a strong back and a strong waist, with a heroic spirit, he can also capture The kind of green eyes of girls and young women who like heroic muscular men are basically killer.

Damn, compared to him, brother seems a bit weak.

Li Wei felt a bit of displeasure in his heart. He was very clear about his own physique. Picking up girls can only follow the elegant route of a genius.

According to the analysis of the collected information, this guy has admired the culture of the Central Plains since he was a child, read a lot of books, is quite intelligent, and is also good at fighting. He can be called both civil and military. Not all designated heirs.

This guy is a powerful enemy, do you want to kill him?

Seeing King Qin accepting the gift with a smile on his face, Fulong heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. His ears were calloused from hearing all kinds of fabulous legends about this King Qin. This was the first time he saw King Qin's dragon face. He who has always been proud and arrogant just gave birth to such a feeling that those rumors were just exaggerated.

Moreover, he thinks he is not as good as reciting poems and writing lyrics, but these things are useless on the battlefield. The people of the Central Plains are just because they sing the wind and the moon, spend their days and drinks, and their bones are weak. The army's combat strength is obvious. decline.

He kept these thoughts deep in his heart, and with a flat smile on his face, he explained his intentions in front of King Qin and all civil and military officials. Fulongduo was quite eloquent. The situation in the mainland, the pros and cons of each country, etc. were analyzed quite accurately, and then the intention of the two countries to form an alliance and carve up the world was explained.

While explaining the analysis, he secretly observed the expressions of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Qin court. His analysis was thorough enough. It was almost like a fruit eater who put all kinds of losses and benefits on the table. No matter how slow or short-sighted people can hear it It is very clear, in short, if the two countries form an alliance, the benefits will be so great that ten fingers can't be counted.

The expressions of those civil servants and military generals all fell into his eyes, and most of them agreed with his analysis, which made him secretly happy. If there were no accidents, the alliance would be a success.

Fulongduo's mood became unusually good, but he was a little surprised by King Qin's expression, why did he always stare at him with a smile?

His ideas and proposals are very good and very suitable for the interests of the Great Qin Empire. Unfortunately, this matter was proposed by an extremely radical minister a few months ago, but was rejected by Li Wei on the spot. Long Fuduo is only equivalent to the old Again, it’s just a little different. What I mentioned earlier is that the Golden Empire was allowed to disrupt the situation, and it has already taken advantage of the troubled waters. Now the two countries have formed an alliance to divide the world, and the results are similar.

Fulongduo stood outside the Golden Luan Hall, waiting patiently for the result. If he knew that what was discussed in the Golden Luan Hall at this time was another matter, he would definitely be scared into a cold sweat.

"Masters, what do you think of Long Fuduo?"

After Fulongduo finished speaking and exited the Golden Luan Hall, Li Weicai asked all the ministers with a smile.

The civil and military officials were stunned for a while, but they didn't realize it for a while. Fortunately, they were used to the leaping thinking of their own king. When Wu You, the imperial military officer Jijiu, gave Fulongduo's detailed information, they would immediately After waking up, everyone's expressions became extremely unnatural.

Chapter 524 Believe it or not

"Your Majesty can't."

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate."

"Your Majesty, I object."

"If the king insists on going his own way, the minister will die and remonstrate."

The civil and military officials reacted and quickly dissuaded them. They may not know much about the habits of their own king, but they have grasped it to some extent. Both hands are in favor, and if you can raise your feet, you can even raise your feet to support.

But the current situation is a little special. The two countries are fighting each other, and they don't kill each other. This is an unwritten rule in Cangyun Continent's diplomacy. It will break this rule, which will not only affect the reputation of the empire, but also the reputation of the king, and it will also involve many problems in all aspects. Therefore, no matter how upset you are, you cannot break this unwritten rule.

"Uh, I just mentioned it casually, you don't have to take it seriously, ha ha, ha ha..."

Li Wei laughed a few times to hide the embarrassment in his heart. He did have the idea of ​​killing or putting Fulongduo under house arrest, but he did not expect the reaction of all civil and military officials to be so strong, including the chief assistant of the cabinet Tian Ce and other confidantes. , all strongly objected to him giving Frondo a click, but his imperial military adviser, Jijiu Wuyou, didn't make a sound for a long time, and stood in the corner with his eyes closed to rest.

This fellow must have other ideas in his mind, right? "I firmly oppose alliances!"

Li Wei did not expect the reaction of civil and military officials to be so strong. He had to compromise, but he also had his bottom line. He would never form an alliance with the Golden Empire. Whoever dares to mention it is against me. This is the case. How should I reply to Fulong? Many, you can figure it out, but I will not return the huge pile of valuable stuff that Fulongdo sent, I ate it all in my stomach, how can I spit it out, don't you think?

Anyway, this matter is so agreed, you can figure it out, leave the court if you have nothing to do, I still want to play hide-and-seek and other embarrassing games with all my concubines.

"..."

"..."

Civil and military officials had no choice but to send the emperor respectfully, and then stayed in the Jinluan Hall to continue discussing how to respond to Fulongduo. Tian Ce, as the chief assistant of the cabinet and the first courtier of the Qin court, was naturally presided over by him. However, after discussing for a long time, no one The result that satisfied Tian Ce gave him a big headache.

In fact, it's not that the officials are incompetent, the military officers' suggestions are too rough, and most of the civil servants are Qingliu celebrities, who are too refined and civilized. What kind of civilized and etiquette country, what kind of loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, etc., are all pulled out. Presiding over the overall situation is a headache.

Tian Ce, who was really quarreling with his colleagues, caught a glimpse of Wu You, the imperial military officer Jijiu, standing motionless in the corner with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep, and turned a deaf ear to the noisy civil and military officials. , With a thought in his heart, he walked up to this guy, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Wu."

"Ah, Tian Shoufu, what's the matter?"

Wu You seemed to have really fallen asleep, and only then woke up, and politely returned the salute.

"Mr. Wu, what do you think of this?"

Tian Ce politely asked for advice. Although this person has a wretched appearance, a bad background, and many faults, he still has real skills. He is especially good at some subtle points. It's so embarrassing, otherwise, I wouldn't have been appointed by the emperor as an imperial military adviser to sacrifice wine.

Speaking of the official position of the imperial army teacher offering wine, it is really a bit ironic. There is no such official position in the official history of the mainland, but the king of his own family defies all opinions and is fiddled with. Outside the hall, it is directly under the jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven, with a detached position and no real power at ordinary times. Once something happens, the power is so great that even the intelligence department of the Black Guard Army has to cooperate fully. This guy is often mysterious and busy. It must be He is busy with some secret and important matters that no one knows, which shows that he is deeply respected by the emperor, which makes people envious and jealous.

"The emperor's iron pot...the only one in the world."

Wu You grinned, this matter was originally just a joke of the emperor, whoever thought that there were many schemes in his heart would take it seriously. The savages are far from it.

"..."

Tian Ce understands that there is only one in the world, and of course it is a priceless treasure. It is obvious that he wants to play tricks on others, but this answer seems to be quite good, a joke, who made you take it seriously, not only lost a hundred A golden pot full of real gold, and many valuable gifts of antique calligraphy and paintings. Our emperor is a greedy and insane master who eats money. No one in the world can make him vomit again. Come out, since this is the case, I can only play tricks with others.

When it comes to scraping money, Tian Ce couldn't help laughing. If you want to say that the best money scraper in the world, except for the emperor of Daqin, no one can match it. It is true that there is no one in the past, and there will be no one in the future. However, the emperor scrapes money so frantically For the sake of Daqin, the money that was scraped was not taken, and it was all used in the national treasury. Because of this, those upright and staunch officials turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye to not admonishing or dying.

Baiguan had to admit that the style of his own emperor's behavior was really incomprehensible, and he believed that he was also the only peerless king in the history of Cangyun Continent, who had never been seen before, and who would never come after.

Outside the Golden Luan Hall, Fulong waited patiently for Qin Tianzi's reply. He said everything that should be said. For public and private purposes, the alliance between the two countries has great benefits. Only a fool would refuse. He is full of confidence and is now Consider the direction of attack after the big golden cavalry exits the level again.

It seemed that after half an hour, a fourth-rank official from the Ministry of Rites finally came out, bowed his hands with a smile, expressed his apology, and formally conveyed the results of the discussions among all the officials.

"what?"

Furondo's mouth was wide open, his whole body was petrified in an instant, and a bewildered and puzzled expression was condensed on his face. The Qin Empire refused to form an alliance or cooperate, even if he was killed, he would not believe it.

"why?"

Fulongduo, who was stunned for a long time, took a deep breath and tried his best to calm his heart and keep the Lingtai clear. To be honest, he never thought of such a result, all the officials of Qin Ting had their heads clamped ?

What he wants to know most now is the reason why King Qin refused to form an alliance.

"Your Majesty's iron pot was passed down from the previous king's previous king's previous king's previous king. There is only one such pot in the world, and it cannot be measured by its price."

When the fourth-rank official from the Ministry of Rites said these words, the expression on his face was very serious and clear, as if what he said was true, he shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands after he finished speaking, with an expression of believing it or not.

Chapter 525 Secret Battle

"If the fourth prince is not in a hurry to go back, he can stay for a few more days and visit the scenic spots in Chang'an. I am willing to act as a guide."

The fourth-rank official from the Ministry of Rites said with a smile, always with a friendly smile on his face, it was hard for people to get angry with him.

"The prince is leaving now."

Fulongduo with a livid face snorted coldly, flung his sleeves and left, the matter of forming an alliance was over, and they issued an order to evict guests, how could he have the nerve to stay any longer, but his heart was full of anger.

It is said to take people's money and eliminate disasters with others. You take money, but you don't help people, and you drive them away. It's so shameless. This is the first time he has been taught.

When Fulongduo and his party came, they were excited, but when they left, they left Chang'an under the escort of three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry.

At this time, Li Wei and Wu You, the imperial military adviser Jijiu, were whispering in the imperial study room, and he was really unwilling to let Fulong go back like this.
