reborn monarch

In November of the ninth year of Qiyuan, Anxiwei defeated the horse tribe. The old king A Guhuan died of serious injuries. The new king She Ketu, representing the horse tribe, rushed to the capital to surrender.

Knowing that this trip was not easy, She Ketu couldn't help complaining that his nephew A Guhuan died so lightly and made a mess of himself. This time, he was afraid that he would be severely humiliated in the history books of the Dachu people.

He entered the Fengtian Hall according to the etiquette of the Great Chu, and knelt down to pay respects: "The king of the horse clan, She Ketu, pays his respects to His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu."

"Exemption from etiquette and peace", Emperor Qi Yuan responded indifferently.

Standing up, She Ketu was not used to the etiquette of Dachu, for a moment he forgot that he was repeatedly reminded not to look directly at Shengyan, subconsciously looked up, and stood there in a daze.

This great Chu emperor is more beautiful than the most beautiful woman of their horse clan.

All the officials and She Ketu thought about the same thing, each of them was proud and elated, looking forward to seeing the scene where Emperor Qiyuan suppressed the new king of the horse clan. snicker.

She Ketu was awakened by the snickering, and quickly lowered his head.

Xie Jiuyuan showed an impatient face, and said in a deep voice, "King of the Horse Clan, please explain your reason for coming."

Knowing that this was Da Chu's most powerful right minister and general Xie Jiuyuan, She Ketu didn't dare to be negligent, and first turned to him and gave him a gentle bow before cautiously, offering the surrender form with both hands high, according to what he had planned with his cronies, The meaning of surrender came slowly.

Seeing that the Ma clan king treated Xie Jiuyuan so courteously, Wen Jinli's face immediately changed. The courtiers, regardless of whether they were emperors or emperors, all had complex expressions.

Xie Jiuyuan also didn't expect it, and sighed helplessly. He didn't know how many imperial censors would impeach him now.On the contrary, Gu Zhen was happy to see Xie Jiuyuan jealous, and watched the situation in the hall with great interest.

To show his sincerity, Sheketu did not ask the translators around him to convey it, but made a statement in person. However, his official language was not good, and he often stumbled. Fortunately, She Ketu was nervous and didn't pay much attention.

After he finished speaking, Emperor Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes and pondered, and did not immediately accept the low-profile vassal proposal of the new horse clan king.

Sweat broke out on Sheketu's forehead.

Gu Zhen had already decided on a strategy for dealing with the horse clan. At this time, he was contemplating to control the atmosphere of the conversation. However, he looked down and saw that the new king of the horse clan who "knows the current affairs" had a great deal of respect for Da Chu at this time. It's a blessing, but I just look at it from a standpoint, but it's really inferior to the young old master who must fight in person. It's a pity that the man has passed away, so I can't see the demeanor of "Loulan Sand Fox" with my own eyes.

I hope that this person will not develop short-sighted ambitions in the future, and only disturb the layout.

Emperor Qi Yuan finally opened his mouth and talked slowly: "King of the Horse Clan, I have already declared that Great Chu will have equal relations with other countries in the future, and will never be the suzerain, nor will it accept vassal states. Therefore, I will not accept this letter Submit the book."

After listening to the translator's translation, She Ketu was taken aback, thinking that the emperor of Chu thought that his posture was not low enough. When he bent his knees and wanted to kneel, Emperor Qiyuan said again: "I will give you two choices."

"First, the Ma people belonged to Da Chu, and like other places where foreigners lived together, they were allowed to govern as officials. After that, the people of the Ma people were the people of our Da Chu, who treated them equally, paid the same taxes, and obeyed the same laws. , under the protection of my Great Chu, and also under the jurisdiction of my Great Chu."

"Secondly, we will discuss friendship with Da Chu and sign a trade agreement at the same time, allowing our Da Chu merchants to cross your grassland to the west for trade. Da Chu will also open market trade in border towns. Barter, exchange of equal value."

After talking about the two options, Emperor Qiyuan looked at She Ketu: "You choose."

"This..." Sheketu was caught off guard and hesitated.

Not only the Great Chu Dynasty, but all the dynasties in this country of the Central Plains have considered themselves to be the Kingdom of Heaven | Dynasty, and they have been quite generous to their vassal states.

Sheketu originally thought that this time to surrender, although it was embarrassing, he could bring back the money and food that Dachu gave to the subordinate country. It is now November, and the severe cold will soon come to the grassland. They are anxiously waiting for the supplies for the winter.He never expected that Emperor Qiyuan would give such an option, which means that if he does not surrender, he will not give supplies in vain, and his wishful thinking is in vain.

But if the Ma clan surrendered to Da Chu in his hands, not to mention the loss of the throne that was hard-won, this would mean the death of the "country", and he would be the sinner of the Ma clan through the ages.

"This," Sheketu hesitated, "may your Majesty give me time to think about it?"

Emperor Qi Yuan said happily: "Yes. I want to know your answer within three days."

It wasn't until the King of the Horse Clan withdrew from Fengtian Palace that the officials came to their senses. Your Majesty's insidious conspiracy is high, really high.

Wen Jinli is not very interested in the mere horse tribe. Apart from being offended by the courteous treatment given to Xie Jiuyuan by the king of the horse tribe, he has been paying attention to Wen Chongde for the rest of the time. As a newspaper thing, Wen Jinli has received a lot of attacks and slanders like never before, and he has lost face.

He felt resentful in his heart, and felt that everything was wrong when Wen Chongde moved out, so he wrote a letter, full of fatherly love, and wanted his son to move back to the mansion, but Wen Chongde didn't expect Wen Chongde to move out at all. Unmoved, let alone answering the letter, the court did not even give the old father a look.

Unfilial son!Unfortunately for the Wen family!

For a while, no one played the report, and Eunuch Sanbao said: "If there is something to do, start to play, and if there is nothing to do, leave the court!"

Eunuch Sanbao was just about to call for retreat, but he heard a report from outside the hall, saying that there was a report from the Beidou Military Academy.

Emperor Qi Yuan glanced at Xie Jiuyuan, they understood each other, and said with a smile, "Xuan."

The one who goes up to the hall is Gan Shu. He is the vice-principal of the Beidou Military Academy and also an instructor. He reported to Emperor Qiyuan that the first batch of students in the military academy have passed the training assessment and are divided into classes. They are full of people.After the joint training exercise with the Jinwu Guard, the students will apply for a military parade outside the palace city and on the main street of the capital tomorrow.

"Okay!" Emperor Qi Yuan hooked the corners of his mouth, and agreed very readily, "Tomorrow, I will let the people of the capital see the style and appearance of the Beidou Military Academy. Master, please inspect it for me."

Oh, on the main street of the capital, there is the Biezhi Pavilion where the foreign guests live. After a little thought, the officials all understood the intention of Emperor Qiyuan.

Gan Shu led the decree to thank you, and Xie Jiuyuan also bowed deeply: "Your Majesty's words are serious about the matter of duty, and my ministers are terrified."

All the officials were all stern, wishing they could roll their eyes to the sky, the courtiers all over the palace, anyone might be terrified, but you, Xie Jiuyuan, can't be terrified.

Qin Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, came out with a straight face, and asked the question like a question: "May I ask your Majesty, what is the cost of this parade?"

The parade exhibition, at most, is the students' carriages, horses and food expenses, what else can be spent, since the opening of the trade port, Qin Jian has not been arguing for small money for a while, Emperor Qi Yuan really choked on him, Xie Jiuyuan He came out and said, "It will be undertaken by the Beidou Military Academy."

Gu Zhen looked at Qin Jian with a satisfied look on his face, "So, does Shangshu Qin have any questions?"

"Gone."

In short, it saved money, Qin Jian was satisfied and returned to work.

After the court, Gu Zhen and Xie Jiuyuan talked about the courtiers behind their backs, and arranged: "The national treasury is not empty now, your aunt has been generous for half a month, and then she became stingy again. It can be seen that the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. "

Xie Jiuyuan liked to see Gu Zhen lively, so he laughed when he heard the words, "Isn't your Majesty using Lord Qin again because he is unmoved by both superiors and inferiors? Why bother to tease him again?"

After a pause, he deliberately added a sentence: "It's the elders after all."

"Just because of his stupid temper, is he worthy of my anger?" Just to make fun of Xie Jiuyuan, Gu Zhen raised his eyebrows and continued to speak, then suddenly turned his eyes and looked straight into Xie Jiuyuan's eyes, "There are people, sweethearts If I was looked at more than once, I would get angry."

Xie Jiuyuan leaned close to him, pretending to be puzzled: "Huh? What's the matter? That person must value his sweetheart so much that he doesn't even want to let others take a second look."

Gu Zhen couldn't help laughing out loud, "You're the one who is the best at talking, the dignified right minister, the great general, and the master minister are so glib."

"The humble minister is terrified, and the humble minister is wronged." Xie Jiuyuan's tone was not panicked at all, "The minister is only glib in front of his sweetheart."

Speaking of this point, the eyes of the two are full of affection, and their lips and tongues are naturally close, lingering.

After a long kiss, let's talk about business.

When the matter came to an end, Gu Zhen felt relieved, and said, "With the troops lined up and deployed, there is nothing to worry about, just to meet the enemy. At this point, I feel more and more that the Wen Party is just a halfway point in the great cause." Huan, removing this mountain is pulling out the thorn in my heart. But in the future, there will be other obstacles. However, with you and me, with these cornerstones of our change, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Xie Jiuyuan was relieved in his heart, saluted, and praised: "Your Majesty's pride."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Gu Zhen twirled Xie Jiuyuan's lapel with his fingers, and after a while, he seemed to come back to his senses, and urged: "Go, if you don't go, it will be dark by the time of Beidou."

Tomorrow's military parade, Xie Jiuyuan, who is the principal, naturally has to go to check it first.

He urged, but he didn't take back his fingers that were gripping the skirt of the clothes, which made Xie Jiuyuan's heart flutter, hugged and kissed again, and then left.

Gu Zhen sat alone in the imperial study room, looked at the memorial, and lost his mind.

When will we stay together.

The next day, the students of the Beidou Military Academy and the Jinwu Guard walked past the main street of the capital. The army was powerful and magnificent.

Those foreign envoys, business travelers, and overseas students in Bezhikan saw it in their eyes and kept it in their hearts.

On another day, King She Ketu of the Ma clan led the Ma clan to surrender, and since then there was no more Ma clan, and in the territory of Great Chu, there was an additional province of the Western Regions.

In the first month of the tenth year of Qiyuan, Emperor Qiyuan was in high spirits, and Xie Jingqing, who was dressed in a vermilion official uniform, went to the palace. He was specially appointed as an official merchant on the Silk Road, and he was appointed to the household department. He was given an official robe and a seven-rank salary. Officially set off, along the ancient road, establish diplomatic relations one by one, and restart trade and cultural exchanges.

At this point, Dachu officially began to rebuild the land Silk Road, and the Maritime Silk Road has already sailed more than half of it.

The prosperous age is beginning to appear, and old traitors must be eliminated.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and it is time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

"Your Majesty! Jin Yiwei rushed to play, patrolling Liu Ying was assassinated, the old guard took down the assassin, and confessed that the mastermind behind the scenes was Wen Jinli!"
