Da Qin, the imperial capital of Xianyang.
In Xianyang in September, the autumn wind suddenly blows up, giving it a little more coolness and less of the hustle and bustle of summer. Entering the second half of the year, Daqin began to have good weather, and there were no longer the continuous disasters in the first half of the year.
Prince Ying Yuqian, on behalf of the emperor, inspected Hexi County and returned to Xianyang safely, reporting on the situation in Hexi County.
The epidemic in Hexi County is completely controlled.
The problems of Wudu County and Hedong County have been resolved long ago, and Da Qin has now regained its strength.
Fortunately, the rest of the country has not been affected this year. Overall, Da Qin's performance this year is pretty good. By September of the second half of the year, Xifengzui's income continued to increase, and the imperial court's finances eased slightly.
In addition, local taxes began to be collected at the end of the year. Even with the exception of Guzang County, all other places still had a per capita tax. The tax revenue was not much, but it was still money, which could solve the court's difficulties.
In the second half of the year, Ying Jiuxiao's health deteriorated a bit.
He also practiced martial arts and was considered a martial artist. However, after a serious illness, his body lost its previous health. The weather was getting colder, and Ying Jiuxiao was also a little afraid of the cold.
Ying Jiuxiao had lunch today and rarely had time to rest, so he took Wang Shun on a special trip out of the palace to see Lin Feng's son.
Lin Feng's son was named Lin Yu.
This is a gift from Ying Jiuxiao.
After the child was one month old, he had already grown up and was very cute. The key is that Lin Yu likes to laugh. In particular, Lin Yu liked to laugh when he saw Ying Jiuxiao, which made Ying Jiuxiao very happy.
This is his great-grandson.
Ying Jiuxiao enjoys this kind of family happiness, so he has to look after the children every now and then. It makes him feel a little uncomfortable not to look at Lin Yu. Ying Jiuxiao also has a grandchild of this size, but he likes Lin Yu.
Ying Jiuxiao walked around the palace and returned to the palace to deal with government affairs, but Ying San hurriedly entered the hall and reported: "Your Majesty, Ma Yan, the envoy of Gaochang State, has entered Daqin with a delegation and is heading to Xianyang. "
Ying Jiuxiao was a little confused and asked: "What's going on? Why did Gao Changguo suddenly come to envoy?"
There had never been much contact between Da Qin and Gaochang State. Suddenly Gaochang State sent envoys. It was obvious that something was going on.
Ying Jiuxiao knows the nature of the countries in the Western Regions, and all countries in the Western Regions are profit-seekers.
They don't talk about integrity or anything like that.
The Western Regions are all about fists and profit-seeking, and the same is true for the kings of the countries in the Western Regions.
Ying Jiuxiao did not have a good impression of the countries in the Western Regions. The reason why the Western Regions were never destroyed was that in Ying Jiuxiao's eyes, the Western Regions were not worth fighting.
On the one hand, the Western Region is complex, difficult to attack, and the distance is long. On the other hand, there are many deserts in the Western Region, and there are not many places suitable for farming. Even if they are conquered, they will not be easy to manage. Finally, the Qin Dynasty established its foothold in Guanzhong, and its goal was to move eastward. Only by moving eastward could it sweep away the world.
Compared with going east, the value of the Western Regions is not great, and it is not cost-effective to spend national energy to go to the Western Regions.
Ying San reported: "The envoy from Gaochang Kingdom wants to promote peace and ask for the princess of Qin to go to the Western Regions. The envoy this time is the prince of Gaochang Kingdom, Qu Guang, and the deputy envoy is Ma, the Prime Minister of Gaochang Kingdom. Yan. Although Ma Yan is the deputy envoy, he is actually the chief envoy. He is the one who calls the shots. Qu Guang came to Da Qin just to show off."
Ying Jiuxiao's eyes turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "I, Da Qin, do not need a marriage. The barbarians from the Gaochang Kingdom also want to marry my Da Qin princess, and they will take care of themselves without urinating. If you want to marry my Da Qin princess, just dream. "
Ying Jiuxiao is an extremely martial person, and from the bottom of his heart, he does not accept a marriage like this.
Da Qin did not need to let the princess suffer injustice.
Da Qin did not need to appease foreign barbarians.
disobedient?
Just fight.
This is the attitude of winning Jiuxiao.
Ying San had followed Ying Jiuxiao for many years and knew Ying Jiuxiao's temperament. He said, "Your Majesty, the Gaochang State delegation is on its way to Xianyang. However, when they passed through Guzang County, they had some conflicts with Marquis Lin."
This is the key.
Ying San was a little shocked when he heard the news earlier. Lin Feng was so powerful that he even dared to deal with foreign barbarians.
I admire Winning Three Hits from the bottom of my heart.
The barbarians in Gaochang state need to be dealt with.
Ying Jiuxiao regained his energy and said in a deep voice: "How is Lin Feng? When people from Gaochang Kingdom entered Da Qin, they actually had a conflict with my grandson-in-law. Do they think he is impatient with his life?"
Yingsan mourns for Ma Yan and Qu Guang in his heart.
Who is bad to mess with?
He chose to provoke Lin Feng.
Everyone in the Qin Dynasty knew that the person whom the emperor trusted and valued the most was Lin Feng, who he treated as his own grandson.
No, closer than a biological grandson.
Ying San explained: "Your Majesty, the news that Hei Bingtai has found out is that the Gaochang envoy arrived in Guzang County, Ma Yan personally visited Lord Lin, and the prince of Gaochang, Qu Guang, was looking for fun in Guzang County. We ate, drank, and slept with women in Shuiyue Pavilion.”
"When things happened, Qu Guang only paid for a poor jade pendant, which was not enough to settle the bill, so a conflict broke out. The people in Shuiyue Pavilion refused to let Qu Guang leave, so Qu Guang asked someone to interrupt Shuiyue Pavilion's attendant Ichijo Legs, and also injured the singer of Shuiyue Pavilion."
"When something happened, the people of Shuiyue Pavilion and many common people surrounded Qu Guang. The incident was reported to the ears of Lord Lin. He went to Shui Yue Pavilion to deal with it personally, understood the situation clearly, and sentenced Qu Guang to the Tenth Army with a stick. The sticks, as well as the thirty military sticks of the Gaochangguo guards who hurt people, and the compensation of one hundred taels of silver."
"After being beaten with a military stick, both Qu Guang and the guard Luo Jiashi were beaten half to death. Their buttocks were bloody and their injuries were quite serious."
"When he was in Shuiyue Pavilion, Qu Guang once said that he was the prince of Gaochang and wanted to seek justice from His Majesty and to give an explanation."
Ying San said: "This is a general situation. In short, the cause of the matter was instigated by Gaochang Kingdom. Because Lin Houye beat the prince of Gaochang Kingdom, which involves the diplomatic relations between the two countries."
"So what if I get beaten?"
Ying Jiuxiao slapped his hand on the desk and scolded: "The people of Gaochang State should be beaten if they act recklessly in our territory of Daqin. If we don't fight, how can we appease the people and convince others? Lin Feng's beating is a beating." Well done. Prince Gaochang asked me to uphold justice without overestimating my ability."
"When Qu Guang and Ma Yan arrive, I will administer justice to Lin Feng."
"Can a group of barbarians be rampant if they think they are envoys?"
"The envoy of fart."
"To me, they are just a ball."
"Could it be that they think that I am so confused that I can't even tell the difference between myself and outsiders?"
As Ying Jiuxiao gets older, his temper becomes more and more irritable, and he is not particular about his words. He stared at Ying San with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice: "How long will it take for Gao Changguo's envoy to arrive in Xianyang?"
Ying San said: "There are still about two or three days. After all, they are very slow. The two people's buttocks were hit hard and they cannot move forward at full speed."
"Then just wait."
Ying Jiuxiao nodded.
"Your Majesty, there are memorials from Li Dongshan, Governor of Liang, and Marquis Lin, sent back one after another."
Wang Shun entered the main hall and reported.
Ying Jiuxiao waved, and Wang Shun handed over the memorial.
Ying Jiuxiao first opened Li Dongshan's memorial. In Li Dongshan's memorial, he mainly elaborated on Qu Guang's affairs in Shuiyue Pavilion, placing the responsibility on the Gaochangguo mission, and even said that the Gaochangguo mission was unscrupulous and relied on his The envoys bullied the people of Qin.
Li Dongshan was also smart. He didn't praise Lin Feng, nor did he defend Lin Feng. He just explained this matter.
Ying Jiuxiao picked up Lin Feng's memorial again. The things involving Qu Guang were almost the same, and they were also the same as the news reported by Heibingtai.
When Ying Jiuxiao saw the end, his eyes lit up. The last sentence of Lin Feng's memorial said that the Qin Dynasty's great reputation should be obtained immediately, and there was no need for women to promote it.
This sentence deeply touched Ying Jiuxiao's mind.
When Ying Jiuxiao succeeded to the throne, he faced internal and external troubles. He never showed mercy at home. He was attacked by the Xia State and the Yan State in the north. He never surrendered, never ceded territory to pay money, and never appeased the barbarians of the Yan State through marriage.
Ying Jiuxiao's attitude is extremely tough. He has always believed that the dignity of Da Qin needs to be obtained through strength. The majesty of Da Qin is based on the courage of Da Qin's soldiers to fight and kill.
What kind of man is he relying on a woman?
Thanks to women, are all the men in Da Qin dead?
"Hahaha……"
Ying Jiuxiao thought about Lin Feng's last words and couldn't help stroking his beard and laughing.
Lin Feng is worthy of being his grandson-in-law.
He is also his confidant.
Lin Feng, know him.
Ying San stood below, looking baffled. Why did the emperor burst into laughter when Lin Feng came back with a memorial? Did something happen?
Winning Sanyi time is also confusing.
Ying Jiuxiao waved his hand and said: "Go down. Once the Gaochang Kingdom mission arrives, notify them immediately. I want to see them immediately. They want me to uphold justice. It just so happens that this time, I also want to uphold justice."
"Here!"
Ying San bowed and retreated.
Ying Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Wang Shun, you said that this guy Lin Feng has completed the reform of dividing households into acres in Guzang County, but he has not yet said that he will return to the court. Is it possible that he plans to stay in Guzang County for a while longer? ?"
Wang Shun smiled and said: "How does this old slave know what the Marquis is thinking? I guess the Marquis also has his own plans."
Ying Jiuxiao said: "Guzang County, even Weiwu County, and even Liangzhou are all barren. Maybe this is the reason for his stay. He wants to change Guzang County. That's all. Let Lin Feng stay for a while longer. At the latest Next year, we have to bring Lin Feng back. On the one hand, I can't live without him and need him to prepare. On the other hand, my little grandson also needs a father."
Wang Shun said: "Your Majesty is really considerate."
Ying Jiuxiao stroked his beard and smiled, then made some adjustments and continued to deal with the piled up memorials.
This is Ying Jiuxiao’s daily routine.
