"Your Majesty, there is a fraud in this matter!"
Ren He almost slid from his chair to kneel in front of everyone.
He was anxious and retorted: "Although Namunashi did not kill Beiliang Khan, Beiliang Khan was already under his control. All news from the outside world was conveyed through his mouth. I believe he also mentioned this matter to the Khan. idea!"
Li Woyun suppressed his laughter: "Wei Chen also believes that Beiliang should be rejected directly, otherwise Alekong will inevitably have dissatisfaction with Da Qin."
Yan Xiu pinched the letter and said, "I think this is a good deal. We can seize the south of Yinshan Mountain without using any soldiers of Qin Dynasty. Besides, as a sign of sincerity, Beiliang has already sent three thousand Khan Send the bloody horse to Da Qin."
Yan Wei interrupted: "Brother Huang really wants to marry the Princess of Beiliang?"
Don’t you think about wishing Scarlett at this time?
Yan Xiu: "Yes, not only do you want to marry, but you also want to marry with great fanfare."
Yan Wei clicked his tongue and stopped talking.
Anyan said anxiously: "Not to mention the south of Yinshan Mountain, our army has not even set foot in the three cities of southern Xinjiang. Your Majesty is not afraid that Namunash will try to catch a turtle in the jar? And Alehong is the only one in Northern Liang who can compete with Namunash. If the person who resists is killed hastily, the consequences will be disastrous."
Rather than unilaterally agreeing to the conditions of Alhom or Namunash, it would be better to let these two fight each other and disintegrate the Northern Liang military power from within.
Yan Xiu said calmly: "Who said I wanted to kill him?"
Everyone in the imperial study looked at each other.
His Majesty's thoughts are becoming increasingly difficult to fathom.
Yan Xiu suddenly asked Ren He: "Knowing the polo match that day, why did I promote your brother and Uncle Wu Xing at the same time?"
After Ren He thought for a moment, he answered cautiously: "Of course it's because my brother and Wu Xingbo have performed outstandingly and made great contributions to our Great Qin."
After all, he is a military commander. He has been dealing with the wind, sand, and blood rain on the battlefield all year round. Naturally, his mind is not as sharp as those who are immersed in the court.
Yan Xiu smiled and said nothing.
Li Woyun took his question and continued to ask Ren He:
"I would like to ask General Ren, although the King of Yan has not personally participated in the battlefield for many years, and the power of the Yan Army in the North was returned to His Majesty the year before last, what is the prestige of the King of Yan in the North Army?"
Ren He couldn't help but shed a few drops of cold sweat. Li Woyun, a pretty boy, dared to ask about the thorn in His Majesty's heart in front of His Majesty.
Isn't this just digging a hole for him to jump out of? Civil servants are just arrogant!
Although he had never gone to the north to guard the border, he had heard about the reputation of King Yan and his 200,000 troops.
Although the Northern Army was more than just the Yan Army, it was still led by the Yan Army. It repelled waves of invading foreigners and brought stability to the Northern Territory for more than ten years.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the minds of the people of the North, the status of King Yan and the Yan army is far superior to that of the deep palace emperor Yan Xiu whom they have never met, and the North is the hometown of King Yan.
The generals in the Yan army were all promoted by the King of Yan. Countless people followed him, and they later achieved great success. In addition, their lifelong friendship on the battlefield made them loyal to the King of Yan.
Although Ren He was afraid that Yan Xiu would be dissatisfied, he still chose to answer truthfully.
Surprisingly, Yan Xiu was unusually calm when he heard the words King Yan again, no longer as unhappy as before.
Li Woyun asked him again: "I dare to ask General Ren if he knows anything about the faith of the people of Beiliang?"
Ren He did not hesitate: "That's natural. The Northern Liang barbarians never talk about so much courage and loyalty. They only pursue the idea of preying on the weak and winning the king and defeating the bandits."
After saying this, he realized that Li Woyun was not digging a hole for him, but was using this to provoke him.
Alekhon is far away in Xijing, and more and more of his subordinates have surrendered to Namunash. Now there are only a few people left. It won't be long before these few people will also defect to Namunash.
Once the people of Beiliang unite again, the threat to Da Qin will only increase.
What Da Qin needs is a chaotic Beiliang.
Yan Xiu nodded to Li Woyun with satisfaction: "Princess Beiliang is just an insignificant person to the Qin Dynasty, but Alekhon is devoted to her, even compromising to me again and again for her sake. .”
"I never believe that the people of Beiliang have the sincerity to hand over the south of Yinshan Mountain. And with the current national strength of the Qin Dynasty, it is not difficult to take over the south of Yinshan Mountain. The territory that I conquered with my own hands is in my hands, and it has always been better than what others gave with their own hands. , which makes me feel more at ease."
"If we marry Princess Beiliang and release Alhong from the palace——"
"What will happen to a mad wolf who betrays his family and returns to the grassland?"
Everyone suddenly understood and started to arrange the matter.
Yan Wei was the last one to leave the study. Yan Xiu looked at him with a frown: "What else is there?"
"The position in the middle palace has been vacant for a long time. Your Majesty, have you thought about who to appoint as your queen?"
Yan Xiu said coldly: "You don't need to worry about these things."
Yan Wei: "My brothers all know that although Your Majesty keeps saying that he doesn't care about Zhu Jieyu's background, His Majesty is so deeply in love with Zhu Jieyu and his wife that he doesn't want to favor her, yet he still refuses to make her his wife. Queen."
Yan Xiu looked at him: "Do you want to be grounded again?"
Yan Wei said seriously: "My brother is just reminding your majesty that even if one day the foreign relatives' party can be eradicated, the Yan army can be successfully handed over to Wu Xingbo. It is not easy to make Zhu Jieyu his queen."
Once the old relatives are eliminated, countless aristocratic families will emerge, vying to become new relatives.
If Zhu Sijia is promoted to that high position, all the efforts made over the years will be in vain for the New Party and Yan Xiu himself.
Unless the Yan Palace will never have a chance to turn around.
Who would allow the queen's throne to fall into Zhu Sijia's hands? Will Yan Xiu be able to protect her by then?
Yan Xiu had never considered these issues carefully.
Zhu Scarlett is the most special existence in his heart, so special that he doesn't need to care about any complicated bonds and just wants to like her and pamper her wholeheartedly.
He would kill anyone who dared to raise an objection.
Yan Wei bowed and excused himself: "Your Majesty, don't blame me for talking too much. Since I was taken out of the cold palace by you when I was seven years old, I have only one goal in this life, and that is to be loyal to you regardless of the consequences."
"If...if what I said has offended Zhu Jieyu many times, I hope your majesty will forgive me."
In his heart, he never agreed with this imperial sister-in-law.
He was of the lowest origin among the bloodline of Emperor He. When Emperor He was drunk, he mistakenly favored a beautiful palace maid, who was Yan Wei's biological mother.
Yan Wei's biological mother later became a victim of the harem battles. When he was three years old, he was thrown into the cold palace for his crime, and Yan Wei, who was mediocre and unpopular among the princes, was also thrown into the cold palace.
Emperor He was bedridden in his later years, and his time was running out. The political and military power was firmly controlled by his relatives and a party.
Yan Xiu, who had not yet ascended the throne, saw all this and began to plan his own power. He urgently needed people, and anyone could do it. He wanted to establish an organization that would only take orders from him.
Yan Wei was taken out of the cold palace by him and became the first dragon guard in the Qin Dynasty.
Yan Xiu looked away: "Don't talk about these things. I know your intentions. Now, you only need to manage the dragon guards well."
