After becoming the king of the subjugated country

A gust of autumn wind rolled up the fallen leaves and floated into the distance, all kinds of insects hid in the corners hissing and screaming, the moon was sparse, and an owl passed through the treetops.

The dark night shrouded the temple, and from a distance, one could only see the faint yellow light from the temple windows, as well as the sound of shouts and curses.

It's much more lively here than outside.

"Who do you think is bastard?? Are you tired of working?"

"Who will stand up and admit who is a bastard! You are not a bastard, what are you talking about? Could it be that you are a relative of that old turtle, and you want to recognize it as a relative and fight for it?"

"They are all people on the go, why bother?"

"Don't fight, you have to hurry when you get up early tomorrow."

"Forget it, if you continue to fight, you will lose both."

The people of the Baiyi tribe withdrew from the beginning, silently watching the fight between the two sides, and couldn't help but look at each other.

They lowered their voices and hid in a corner, whispering.

"Why do I feel that a group of people shouted extremely loudly, but few people actually rushed forward, and no one guarded outside came in to help. What's going on?"

"Testing each other, the really clever ones are hiding at the back."

"...For example, Qin Sheng?"

As soon as these words came out, the people of the Baiyi tribe turned their heads to look at the end of the line. Before they knew it, Qin Sheng ran over quietly. If Xia Ye wanted to catch him, he had to go through the crowd.

Qin Sheng also chose to lower his voice and asked, "What do you think of their team?"

Xu Run, a middle-aged man dressed as a guard next to him, said in a low voice, "Looking at the lack of morale, I'm afraid it's not a peaceful journey, or it may have been a big blow before."

Qin Sheng asked again: "The black lights are blind, I've already sent people to fight with them, did your people get in?"

Xu Rundao: "It has been arranged to go in, but they are only arranged to follow the periphery to avoid being found out."

Seeing that Qin Sheng was eager to try and his eyes were bright, Xu Run had to emphasize: "Master Qin, Prime Minister Qin has sent letters many times asking you to go back earlier."

Qin Sheng didn't answer the question, but followed the lead: "Can you see His Majesty urging me?"

Xu Run was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously shook his head.

Qin Sheng clapped his hands together, "That's right, you said why your majesty didn't urge me, but my father did?"

Xu Run shook his head again, and couldn't help asking: "Then, did Lord Qin know the reason?"

"Of course I don't know either." Qin Sheng gave him a strange look, "You and I have been running around all the time, you don't know, and so do I."

Xu Run: "..."

That being the case, then why are you selling it!

Qin Sheng pretended to be deep and said: "No matter what they want me to do, I don't do it is the best answer. It's right to do the opposite of them!"

"This is my experience with my dad for many years."

You want him to go back, right?

He decided to take a turn outside first before talking about how long he could delay.

Xu Run: "..."

He was specially selected by Ji Chen from thousands of palace guards and sent to Qin Sheng. Let alone other things, he can be said to be one of the best in fighting. He can't do it with one against a hundred, but he can't do it with one against ten. More than enough.

Moreover, everyone here refers to a well-trained player.

On the way here, he still didn't know why His Majesty asked him to personally protect Qin Sheng. When he arrived, he walked with Qin Sheng all the way, and he finally realized.

This is because, in case someone fights with Qin Sheng, he can help at the side, so as to ensure that Qin Sheng will not be beaten violently.

Xu Run thought he was getting older, but now he was calm. He said, "Then we have to go back to Beijing to report on our work."

Qin Sheng said bluntly: "It's not that I won't go back to Beijing, it's because someone is blocking me, I can't go back, there's nothing I can do."

Xu Run was taken aback, "Who is stopping you?"

At this moment, the bonfire in the center burst into bright flames, illuminating the entire temple and making everyone's vision much clearer.

"Qin Sheng!" Xia Ye roared, and finally found Qin Sheng's figure from the dark crowd, "If you have the ability, you continue to argue with me! Who is the bastard and who is the turtle!"

"Here, he stopped me." Qin Sheng pointed at Xia Ye.

Xu Run: "..."

At this moment, a burst of sympathy quietly rose in his heart, one part was for Xia Ye who was thoroughly used, one part was for Qin Xiang who had this unfilial son, and the last part was for himself who had to stay by Qin Sheng's side.

Before Xu Run could reply, Qin Sheng began to argue again for today, refuting Xia Ye's words sentence by sentence, and he did not forget to bring in the people around him.

No matter how chaotic the scene was, at least there were rational people on both sides, so the fight did not expand too much.

After limited mediation, at dawn the next day, everyone finally decided to turn their backs on the road and go each side.

When Xia Guo's team was far away, Qin Sheng finally regained his dignity, and he asked Xu Run again, "I feel that they have suffered a lot from His Majesty, so I can't wait to leave. Otherwise, according to this Xia Guo The look of the prince's eyes above the top, I am afraid that he would like to fight with me on the spot, and take me back to Xia Guo directly."

Based on yesterday's experience, Xu Run chose to remain silent.

Qin Sheng didn't care, and continued: "If they want to go back to China, they have to prove that they have some achievements. If they really don't have any achievements, they must find a way and work hard to create one."

"Why don't we talk about it? If there is a rare treasure, the emperor of Xia Kingdom can not blame them so much."

"So, how about we sell them a rare treasure?"

Xu Run couldn't help but nodded.

Qin Sheng turned around the faces of the people, and finally looked at the people of the Baiyi tribe, "Since you all intend to form an alliance with me, why don't we cooperate first and do something big together, how about?"

Representative of the Baiyi ethnic group: "..."

He bit the bullet and agreed after stumbling.

"Damn Qin Sheng! Damn Yue people!"

Along the way, Xia Ye couldn't help cursing, this journey was really too bad, there was nothing redeeming.

Envoy Feng had to bite the bullet and ask, "Your Majesty, how should we respond when we see His Majesty? Especially the relevant information about the Yue Emperor."

Xia Ye stared angrily, puffed out his nostrils, and slapped the table, "Of course it's—"

Envoy Feng looks forward to looking up at him.

Xia Ye stopped, "Yes—"

He turned all kinds of thoughts in his mind several times, and finally said reluctantly: "Of course it is to report the truth to the emperor, the emperor of Yue Kingdom is an out-and-out peerless genius."

"Ah?" Shen Hong finally moved his eyes away from the teacup, and looked at Xia Ye in astonishment, "Just him?"

The emperor of Yue who only drew circles and Xs on the memorial?

Envoy Feng had a sudden realization, seeing Xia Ye's ugly face, he simply dragged Shen Hong out of the carriage, found a secluded place, and explained to him: "The prince did this out of necessity."

Shen Hong frowned, "Why do you need to hide these things from Your Majesty?"

Envoy Feng sighed, his back also bent, and he was no longer upright, "It's not that I hide it from His Majesty, but I have to hide it from the courtiers."

Seeing that Shen Hong hadn't realized it yet, he reminded him: "Are we going to tell His Majesty in front of all civil and military officials that the Emperor of Yue is a fool who doesn't understand the language, doesn't respect his aunt, and calls for beating and killing when he doesn't agree with each other? Then if he is an idiot, what will become of us who are compared to him?"

Shen Hong said indignantly: "How can we be compared by him? It's clear that we care about the overall situation, and he doesn't care about his own country..."

The more he talked, the more Shen Hong became speechless.

This is what the legend says about feelings, and they are too dangerous to be killed.

Envoy Feng sighed again, "Think about it, do you want everyone to remind you in the future that you lost to a weak woman? Or a woman who won't be able to make it until next year. Outsiders don't care how powerful this woman is, they just think , you can't even beat a woman, you are not worthy of being an official in the court at all."

Shen Hong: "...Okay, I see."

Envoy Feng patted him on the shoulder, "Not only do you have to know, but you also have to agree with us in praising the Emperor of Yue. It's best to blow him up as a genius in the world, so as to save our reputation."

Shen Hong and Envoy Feng looked at each other, their eyes gradually became moist, and finally they had to cover their faces and sigh.

This day is really too bitter.

Since Xia Guo's envoys had already decided to return to the country, they would naturally go straight forward, much faster than when they came, and would occasionally go to the county town to replenish some dry food and water, and rest for two days.

There were several hundred people in their group, and they met many businessmen selling things to them on the road, and it was extremely lively along the way.

On this day, during such a break, Xia Ye happened to meet a sneaky businessman who sold the god stone.At first he didn't care, until the businessman ran over in the middle of the night and said that he had a treasure, and if the treasure was not worth enough, he would kill himself on the spot.

The businessman claimed to have dug up a treasure in his own village, but this treasure was not something he could own, so he wanted to sell it, but he was afraid that it would bring disaster to his family after selling it, so he hoped that these people would sell this treasure. The baby is taken away, as long as there is enough gold and silver left for him.

The businessman held the box and warned: "Although I came here secretly, my family members also know about this matter. Once I have passed the ugly time and have not returned home, they will directly go to the county government to file a complaint, saying that the envoy of Xia Guo Kill without reason."

Ji Chen was able to let these hundreds of people walk freely in the territory of Yue, so he had sent someone to watch them specially. Once they did something, these people would not even think about leaving Yue.

Of course Xia Ye also knew this, so he held back his temper all the way.

After going all the way, he restrained his arrogance a little bit, "Since that's the case, you first present it to me for a look. If it's not good enough, don't blame me for throwing you out."

Hearing this, the merchant looked around furtively, then carefully put down the box in his arms and lifted the lid.

I saw a piece of jade inlaid on the silver plate, but there was a slight shadow in the center of the jade, which seemed that the jade wall was not perfect.

But it is this shadow that enhances the value of jade bi.

Shocked, Xia Ye suddenly stood up and carefully observed the jade bi.

The businessman looked at it with regret, shook his head helplessly, hated and felt annoyed, and said, "It's not that it's bad, it's that it's so good, there's a dragon shape in it, it should be a royal item. Such a treasure is I forcibly kept it as a family heirloom of my family and hid it quietly, and sooner or later someone would discover it and bring disaster to my family."

Envoy Feng looked around subconsciously, and asked the people in the distance to go further away; Shen Hong wanted to reach out to touch it, but worried that he would dirty it, so he retracted himself.

Xia Ye looked at the businessman, his eyebrows sharpened, and he began to consider the possibility of seizing the treasure and killing someone.

The businessman shrank his neck sensitively, his round face was full of fat, and shouted: "My lord, we have agreed, you can't kill me, otherwise I would rather smash it, and then your Majesty sees the envoys of the Xia Kingdom killing the people. Naturally, he will avenge me."

A smile appeared on Xia Ye's face, but he couldn't help being sarcastic and suspicious, "Since you trust His Majesty so much, why don't you dedicate the jade bi to him?"

The merchant's eyes revealed a bit of envy unconsciously, "I'm just an ordinary person, how could such a treasure be dug out of my house? If His Majesty knows..."

What if?What if His Majesty thinks that he misses the throne and kills him!

He didn't have the guts to gamble.

After many times of probing, and the fact that the businessman really looked timid and he had no ability, Xia Ye finally felt relieved.

He's going to order this thing!

Xia Ye gave a very generous price, which was enough for the businessman to live affluently for ten lifetimes.

The businessman narrowed his eyes, smiled, and regained his shrewd image, "My lord, you are the prince of the Xia Kingdom. I'm afraid this little money is not enough?"

Moreover, if you buy a jade bi, you need to buy a piece of brocade to hold the jade bi, right?How about the valuable brocade?

If you bought silk and jade, you also need to buy a box to put them in, right?The top-quality nanmu box has auspicious cloud patterns carved by great craftsmen on it, which is nothing more than simple.

Bought the box, still need to buy...

Seeing that Xia Ye's eyes were getting more and more unfriendly, the businessman finally accepted as soon as he saw a deal, stopped selling his products, counted the gold on the spot, put the silver bills in his arms after counting them correctly, and found a reason to leave the venue quickly.

"When we are far away, let the spies kill their family." Xia Ye looked at Shen Hong and snorted coldly, "Such a treasure shouldn't be easily touched by such a mortal."

Shen Hong clenched his sword tightly, nodded and said, "Yes."

The businessman who had harvested a large amount of gold and silver tickets went back to the house honestly, and passed through the tunnel again. He cupped his hands at Qin Sheng and said, "My lord, it's done!"

Qin Sheng finally showed a smile, "It's not in vain that I spent so long arranging this matter."

Prime Minister Qin, who was still in the capital, couldn't sit still. His son's return was nowhere in sight. It was said that there was an emergency and he had to stay outside for a while.

But now, new problems have been spread in front of us.

Although Xia Ye left, not all members of Xia Guo's emissary team left.

For example, the Chen envoy who had to be stranded because of a broken leg.

And, Tang Qian who is now looking for him with an arrow, and Song Miao, the former empress who is locked in prison and doesn't know what to do with her.

In the palace, after notifying His Majesty, the relevant personnel chose a place to discuss matters.

Maple leaves are rustling, the breeze is blowing, and the palace people are burning incense on one side, the perfect scene.

However, people here have no intention of appreciating it.

There were also eunuchs who came over attentively and asked if they needed to sing, dance and play music, but Tang Qian rushed away impatiently.

Tang Qian stared at Prime Minister Qin and General Qiao. Finally, he became impatient and slapped the table, "Tell me, we should send that Queen Song Miao back to the nunnery first, and then kill her with a knife." Wipe her neck, wait for her to die, then take the arrows to disguise the scene, and plant it on the Xia Guo team. I also stole a lot of Xia Guo’s unique arrows, which happened to be used to forge the scene.”

Looking at the proud young man in front of him, General Qiao pressed his temple, annoyed and amused, "The assassins of the Xia Kingdom can touch the Queen of a country and kill her, isn't this also a loss of our country?" People? She Song Miao can't die in the capital, otherwise it can only show that my guards in the capital are incompetent!"

Tang Qian emphasized: "That's the abolished empress! She is just a teacher now, and her past status doesn't count."

Prime Minister Qin followed up and said: "Then if she dies, her status must be counted. The dead is the most important. No matter what we do, she is also the queen of the late emperor. She can also represent the dignity of the royal family. And the people of Xia Kingdom will definitely Said that we did not hesitate to frame them, and the emperor didn't even care about his own mother."

Prime Minister Qin understood the nature of outsiders too well.

Once Song Miao died, no matter how good the disguise was, Xia Guo would still be able to hold back the shit bowl and say that Yue Guo killed someone.

As long as this statement comes out, there will always be people in the world who will believe it, it's just the difference between the number of people and the number of people.

Coupled with a wave of scholars who are trying to stir up trouble and want to be famous, they can even make up some details to make a fuss out of nothing, and in turn argue that it is indeed Yue who killed someone and blamed Zhao.

After a hundred years, all kinds of unofficial rumors will continue, and Ji Chen's reputation will inevitably suffer some losses.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Qin made a final decision, "She can't die, at least she can't die here."

"Are we still going to hold her?" Tang Qian was a little displeased, and his dislike towards Song Miao was palpable, "I asked, these killers were bought by someone who took Xia Guo's money and did it. People in Xia Kingdom may not be ignorant, they probably wanted to test a thing or two, so they acquiesced, and those killers didn't know Bai Qi's official status, they just thought he was an ordinary son with a few Zhuangzi, so they were Assassinate him outside."

After being forced to deal with the queen a few times, and seeing the hatred in her eyes, Tang Qian felt that this person could not be kept anymore, that such a person could not be allowed to continue wandering outside, sooner or later there would be trouble.

"Of course not." Ji Chen, who came late, answered Tang Qian's question first, "This time we must solve them all at once."

Facing the three pairs of inquisitive eyes, Ji Chen changed the subject and asked another unrelated matter first: "I remember, when the people from Xia Guo came over, they seemed to have given something?"

Prime Minister Qin was taken aback, nodded and said: "That's right, I sent some local specialties of gold, jade and jewelry, all of which look good, but are actually worthless, so some common people can be fooled by them, after all, they called Renhao all the way. Carried it into Beijing in a mighty way."

Ji Chen said: "It stands to reason that we should return the gift."

General Joe: "..."

Good guy, haven't you returned the gift yet? ?

Oh yes, speaking of it, it seems that they directly drove Xia Guo's envoys away from the capital, and didn't even give time to pack their things, so naturally they forgot about returning the gift.

Prime Minister Qin did remember, but when he saw that Ji Chen was not in a good temper, he thought it would be a big deal to arrange a convoy to deliver a copy, and he was not in a hurry, so he let it go.

Tang Qian didn't say a word, but suddenly his hair stood on end, and he had a bold guess in his heart, thinking that His Majesty might cause something serious.

Sure enough, Ji Chen continued: "Speaking of which, the most precious thing for a person is his six relatives."

"Although my biological mother died young, my aunt is still alive."

"Xia Kingdom and Yue Kingdom are friendly countries. Since I cannot marry a princess from a friendly country, I can have the same aunt as the emperor of Xia Kingdom."

"My aunt is the mother of Emperor Xia! From now on, I can prepare a convoy to send my aunt Jingchen there, so that Xia can also see what she can do."

The pen in the hand of the historian who recorded the daily notes next to him fell to the ground with a clatter.

The little eunuch next to him picked it up, changed a brush for him, and handed it to him with both hands, "My lord, please."

Historian: "..."

In ancient times, there were emperors who allowed their fathers to be boiled soup, and today there are emperors who send their aunts to the friendly countries.

It's really epic!

Under Ji Chen's watchful eyes, he struggled to pick up the pen, wrote that speech, and tried his best to use his life's talents to polish it, and ensure that future people can understand it and not misunderstand it.

Tang Qian: "..."

Prime Minister Qin covered his heart and took a deep breath.

General Qiao looked outside and pretended he didn't hear it. Well, the scenery outside is pretty good. It's a pity that he didn't appreciate it more.

The historian originally wanted to dissuade one or two, but seeing Tang Qian's complicated expression, Prime Minister Qin was deeply shocked, and General Qiao turned his head to look at the scenery, but none of the three dissuaded him.

He understood something in an instant, and silently shrank back.

The next day, Kyoto shook.

The former guard of Prince Duan's Mansion came back, jumped one level to rank four, and was dispatched by His Majesty as an envoy to escort that envoy Chen into the Kingdom of Xia, and gave gifts along the way to prove the friendly exchanges between the two countries.

The point is that on this gift list, apart from a series of items, the top column is full of three boxes of scriptures.

It is reported that Master Jingchen is too willing to go to Xia Kingdom to give lectures.

And Mrs. Jingchen is the late emperor's empress, and it is said that she has become a monk in the nunnery.

No matter what she actually thought, at least when Ji Chen sent off the envoys, the teacher did not show up.

The farewell crowd was silent, only the officials of the Ministry of Rites recited Fu aloud, and finally said affectionately: "Master, you must take care of your health."

"Hmm! Mmm!" Song Miao, who was tied up and gagged, stared at the people outside the carriage bitterly, her eyes almost spitting fire.

On the carriage, Chen Envoy patted his thigh, and because he accidentally touched the wound, his whole body shivered in pain, and he leaned on the carriage and grinned.He really regretted that he should not have trusted this person and should not have allowed Xia Ye to contact him, he gritted his teeth, "Pan Xia, you shameless villain! Do you think you can have a good result if you take refuge in the imperial court?"

Tang Qian snorted, scratched his head and asked, "Pan Xia? Who is this person? I don't know him!"

Well, the person who contacted Xia Guo was Pan Xia, and it was Pan Xia who entrapped Xia Guo's envoys. What does it have to do with Tang Qian?

Seeing that Envoy Chen wanted to speak again, Tang Qian waved his hand, "Come here, Envoy Chen is thirsty, feed him water, and then cover his mouth."

As for the most important one, she is about to enter a coma state, and she will not wake up until she leaves the counties and counties around the capital. After she wakes up, someone will "point out" her what to say when she arrives in Xiaguo .

A month later.

Inside the Xia Kingdom Palace.

The emperor of Xia State silently listened to his younger brother's statement of the emperor's treacherous schemes in front of all the ministers, and impassionedly criticized how cunning this man was, without knowing the subtleties in his heart.

If he hadn't received Xia Ye's pigeons scolding the emperor of Yue before, he would have believed his evil.

Xia Ye continued, "...this person is insidious and cunning. In order to prevent the enemy from spying on the privacy of the Yue Kingdom, he actually went to great lengths to modify the font. Now everyone in the Yue Kingdom needs to learn new characters, and even some officials can't recognize them. What exactly is written in the imperial decree?"

All the officials couldn't help being amazed. Some admired his bold reforms, while others felt that the Emperor of Yue was simply out of his mind.

After criticizing the two or three things about the emperor of Yue, Xia Ye finally concluded: "Although the emperor of Yue is considered a genius, he is still far behind his elder brother in terms of governing the country. Moreover, General Qiao is old and Prime Minister Qin is sick. The emperor of the Yue Kingdom has no harem and still loves male faces. This king believes that it will only take three years at most. After these mainstays pass away one by one, the Yue Kingdom will no longer be an insurmountable barrier."

The old ministers who listened attentively nodded their heads one after another, approving Xia Ye's conclusion.

Emperor Xia finally nodded, "Yes, then wait another three years."

After three years, they will annex Yue and compete in the Central Plains.

After talking about the peace talks, Xia Ye became energetic again, "Brother Huang, on this trip to Yue, we will find a treasure, and I would like to dedicate it to Brother Huang."

Naturally, that piece of jade was also presented and passed around in the hall, which also won the amazement of the whole hall.

"Such a dragon shape is formed naturally, it is naturally a symbol of the emperor!"

"God bless my country Xia, long live my emperor!"

"God bless my country Xia, long live my emperor!"

The surrounding ministers knelt down one after another, and the jade bi was finally lifted up from below and placed in the hands of Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia laughed loudly, picked up the jade bi, and slowly played with it, "Your brother has worked hard——"

Before he could finish his sentence, Emperor Xia's smile stopped abruptly. He seemed to have touched a scratch in it just now?

Observing carefully with wide-eyed eyes, Emperor Xia finally found a groove in a secret corner, but the jade bi had traces of engraving, which were covered up.

Emperor Xia rubbed it carefully with his fingers, and finally felt the raised scratches in the groove.

As an emperor who tried his best to annex the Yue Kingdom, the Emperor Xia was actually very familiar with the Yue Kingdom's characters before the Yue Kingdom's fonts were reformed, but now, he would rather not have this familiarity.

The groove inside is four characters: Made in Yue.

Xia Ye looked up in a daze, not understanding why Brother Huang stopped talking, "Brother Huang?"

The Emperor Xia put down the jade with trembling hands, and tried his best to smile, "Everyone has worked hard on the mission, after all, the evening banquet is a bit rushed, why don't you go back and rest first, and cancel the banquet."

Unable to wait for the court to leave, the Emperor Xia called Xia Ye, waved away the palace attendants, and asked with difficulty, "How much did you spend for this piece of jade?"

Xia Ye proudly said: "It only cost 10 taels of silver and 1000 taels of gold!"

"You idiot!" Emperor Xia almost didn't vomit blood on the spot, and slapped him on the back of the head, "If you are not in charge, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and the money I gave you is for you to buy off the officials of the Yue Kingdom, so you can do whatever you want. sprinkle?"

This jade bi is probably a set, a set specially waiting for Xia Ye to drill.

"It's not that I didn't buy it, it's not too late." Xia Ye was also a little frustrated, he simply gritted his teeth, "It's all the fault of the Emperor of Yue, he makes trouble every day, he's just a dog emperor!"

Before Emperor Xia had time to teach his younger brother a lesson, he heard panicked voices coming from outside.

"Your Majesty, the envoys from the Yue Kingdom have just arrived! They came here to give gifts, saying that they want the two countries to have good relations, but they forgot to take the gifts to the virtuous king."

Emperor Xia: "?"

The door opened, and the Emperor Xia could only laugh and cry, "Can the national ceremony of the two countries be forgotten?"

The minister clasped his hands and said, "And they put down their presents now, they have already left!"

Emperor Xia: "??"

The minister took a deep breath, looked panic-stricken, and continued: "But they left behind a teacher, who is said to be the aunt of the current emperor of Yue. They said that the two countries cannot form a good relationship between Qin and Jin, but they can do it for them. Brother Youbang, I heard that Your Majesty's parents have passed away, so the Emperor of Yue sent his aunt here."

Emperor Xia: "???"

Xia Ye's eyes were complicated, "No wonder they slipped away so fast."

Emperor Xia looked at the sky full of red clouds, and paused every word, "You are right."

He gritted his teeth and said, "The dog emperor of Yue!"

The author has something to say:

Xia Guo's plot has come to an end, and the ending part will appear again
