Zhuge Shang was a little shocked when he heard this.
Countries come to perform Hajj?
This may be somewhat difficult.
Zhuge Shang thought for a while and asked, "Your Majesty, do emperors from all countries have to come to perform Hajj?"
"must be!"
Zhao Shan's eyes were sharp and he said: "Daqian destroyed the Liang Kingdom in the west and the Japanese Kingdom in the east. Our strength is unprecedentedly powerful. On this occasion, it is natural to further conquer the local areas."
"All parties must surrender."
"If you don't surrender, I will attack you."
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "I want to see if these people are willing to come to perform Hajj, or are they willing to be exterminated?"
After hearing this, Zhuge Shang was silent for a while and said slowly: "Your Majesty's arrangements will be made immediately. However, I suggest that we adjust our external strategy and not expand further. In other words, we should rest first and strengthen domestic governance. Only when the domestic situation is completely digested can we further expand externally."
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "I have adopted Zhuge Qing's suggestion. Da Qian needs to adjust its strategy. Next, we will focus on the country, further stabilize the local area, and strengthen the internal governance of Da Qian."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Zhuge Shang breathed a long sigh of relief.
Nowadays, Daqian's territory has been completely restored and even expanded. It will take countless time and energy to truly manage such a large territory.
This needs to be planned by Zhao Shan personally.
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said: "Let's make arrangements. People from all countries must arrive before the end of this year."
"I accept your order!"
Zhuge Shang stood up and said goodbye.
Zhao Shan took some time off and turned around to watch the children study. After all, many children had already reached the age of studying.
Daqian changed its external expansion and started to reorganize its internal affairs, and its strength was growing day by day. Especially with the precedents of Xiliang and Wa, it had a greater deterrent effect on surrounding countries.
Under this premise, Daqian's envoys rushed to various places to convey Zhao Shan's edict and notify the emperors of various countries to perform pilgrimage.
This news first reached the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Today's Emperor Tuoba Hong of the Northern Wei Dynasty has long lost his former vigor and has begun to deteriorate.
There is no way, there is Zhao Shan in this era.
He was unable to compete with Zhao Shan.
In the palace.
Tuoba Hong was enjoying the singing and dancing. Looking at the voluptuous singers, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
In the past, Tuobahong worked hard, and he was very restrained whether it was women's sex, singing and dancing, or even other aspects. He never went beyond anything and would not indulge his emotions.
Now, Tuoba Hong doesn't care about anything.
It feels so good.
It's always fun to show off, and it's always fun to enjoy it, but it's a bit wasteful.
However, Tuobahong still enjoys it. After all, multi-person sports are always extremely exciting, allowing him to enjoy excitement like never before.
"Keep playing, keep dancing, don't stop!"
Tuoba Hong shouted loudly.
The musicians who played the music played vigorously, and the singer who was dressed sparingly also twisted her waist vigorously, showing off her coquettish style. Over the years, the emperor has favored the singer several times and directly accepted the concubine. Although she was the lowest-ranking concubine, she still jumped over the dragon's gate.
Just like this, countless singers are flocking to it, hoping to catch the dragon root and soar into the sky.
While Tuobahong was enjoying, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, but it was Li Sande, the chief eunuch, who walked in, came to Tuobahong's side, and saluted: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Uncle Sun wishes to see you."
"not see!"
Tuoba Hong waved his hand and ordered: "I am very busy, let him handle things by himself."
Li Sande turned around to inform.
Tuoba Hong snorted and focused on watching the dancing singers. One of the singers had a broad mind and was very majestic when she trembled, which made Tuoba Hong feel like she was standing tall and free.
He pondered in his mind.
This is quite good. With his experience, it is rare. It is really exciting.
While Tuoba Hong was thinking wildly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Li Sande came again and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Uncle Sun said there is something big involving Emperor Daqian."
brush!
Tuoba Hong's expression changed drastically.
When it comes to Emperor Daqian, he is a ruthless man. He threatens to attack the Northern Wei Dynasty at every turn, which is really abominable.
This matter will be difficult to handle!
Tuoba Hong thought about it carefully, sighed, waved all the singers and musicians to leave, and ordered Li Sande to summon Shu Sunchang, then sat there bored.
After a while, Shu Sunchang came in.
In these years, Shu Sunchang has become much younger, because power makes people young.
When Tuobahong worked hard to govern, he was strict about everything and had to do everything personally. Now Tuoba Hong no longer cares about it, it has been messed up, and all government affairs are handled by Shusun Chang. On the contrary, he has more power and no constraints, so he naturally enjoys it.
Shusunchang felt that life like this was quite good.
Uncle Sun Chang entered the main hall and saluted: "I, Uncle Sun Chang, pay homage to Your Majesty."
Tuoba Hong asked: "What's the matter with Zhao Shan?"
Shusunchang replied: "Replying to your majesty, the envoy of Daqian came and handed over the letter of credence, saying that it was Zhao Shan who passed the decree and asked you to go to Luoyang for a pilgrimage on behalf of the Northern Wei Dynasty to meet the Emperor of Daqian in person."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Tuoba Hong gave the answer without hesitation, and gritted his teeth and said: "Such a thing is absolutely impossible. I am the king of a country, how can I go to Daqing? If I go to Daqing now, isn't it just a piece of fish on the chopping board? Zhao Shanzai?"
Shusunchang sighed and said, "Your Majesty, even if we don't go to Daqian Luoyang, we are still fish on the chopping board, to be slaughtered by Zhao Shan."
Tuoba Hong's face suddenly froze.
Zhao Shan destroyed the Japanese country again, and now his majesty is completely over. He really can't afford to offend Zhao Shan, let alone Daqian.
In particular, Wei Polu, an old man who has never died, is still training and stationing troops in Youzhou. He seems to be always preparing to attack the Northern Wei Dynasty, which makes Tuoba Hong helpless.
Tuoba Hong asked: "Prime Minister, can't you go instead of me?"
"well……"
Shusunchang sighed and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Shan specially appointed you to go, and it is clear that it was intentional. If you don't go, I'm afraid Zhao Shan will take advantage of the situation and come to attack our Northern Wei Dynasty."
"Both the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom surrendered to Zhao Shan."
"That's right. Zhao Shan has no reason to attack us. However, Zhao Shan gave an order and you didn't obey the order. Zhao Shan has a reason and can attack us openly."
Uncle Sun Chang said helplessly: "I guess this may be Zhao Shan's intention."
Tuoba Hong sat down instantly.
Looking desperate.
He always feels dangerous when he goes to Daqian. If you don't do it, it will be even more dangerous.
It's so hard to choose.
Shusunchang took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, I think it won't be a big problem to go to Daqian. The reason is very simple. Zhao Shan took the initiative to invite us to go. If something happens to His Majesty, how can Zhao Shan communicate with others?"
"I believe that the reason why Zhao Shan did this is to show off his power, or to use the power of destroying the Japanese country to show off his power and scare us."
"In other respects, there should be no thought."
Shusunchang said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning."
Tuoba Hong stroked the beard under his chin. After thinking carefully, he stood up and paced back and forth. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this might be the case. The sadness on his face disappeared and he said in a deep voice: "That's it, just go, I'll go." How can the mighty emperor of Wei be afraid of Zhao Shan? Besides, I am not going alone."
Shusunchang solemnly said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Tuoba Hong ordered: "Old Prime Minister, go make arrangements and prepare sufficient gifts. Otherwise, Zhao Shan may take this opportunity to get angry."
"I accept your order!"
Uncle Sun Chang bowed and left.
Tuoba Hong looked at the departing figure of his uncle Sun Chang, with a look of helplessness on his face. It's just that his mood only lasted for a while, and then he forgot about it. With an attitude of being happy every day he lived, he got up and went to the harem, intending to go to the harem to select a few concubines and take them with them south to avoid having to worry about it on the way. Loneliness and boring.
…
To the north of Daqian is the Kingdom of Jin.
The Golden King’s Court!
Outside the king's tent.
Emperor Wan Yanming of the Kingdom of Jin was leading people to roast mutton. He had just gone to the concubine's royal tent, asked her to drive piles, and completed all-round output. Wanyan Ming, who entered the sage's time, did not rest. Instead, he led others to cook barbecue again.
Eating meat, drinking wine, and sleeping with women is what Wan Yanming does now.
After getting used to such a life, Wan Yanming also felt that it was good. After all, he didn't have to take care of anything, and he didn't need to work hard to think about going south to attack the Kingdom of Jin. He didn't need to think about how to govern.
Anyway, Jin Guo mainly focuses on being flexible and can run away when the enemy comes.
There is absolutely no need to worry about anything else.
After Wan Yanming completely gained weight, he now has a round waist and broad shoulders, and a big belly, making him look like he is eight or nine months pregnant. He greeted the people around him and said loudly: "Come, come, drink. What fun is there in eating meat without drinking? Eating meat and drinking, this is the joy of life."
Officials from the Jin Kingdom agreed one after another.
All excited!
The Kingdom of Jin is actually happier these days. After all, the upper class only cares about having fun and not caring about anything else. It is naturally relaxing and comfortable.
"Your Majesty, there is urgent news!"
When everyone was happy, Prime Minister Xiao Li came quickly.
Xiao Li is still the prime minister of the Jin Kingdom, but his prime minister is completely different from his uncle Sun Chang. Tuobahong no longer cares about government affairs, and Shusunchang is in control.
Wan Yanming no longer cared about government affairs, and power was delegated to various tribes in the Jin Kingdom. The power of the chiefs of these tribes increased rapidly.
On the contrary, Xiao Li has very little power.
Xiao Li came to Wanyan Ming's side and said, "Your Majesty, we have urgent news."
Wan Yanming looked unconcerned and said, "What urgent report can there be? Could it be that Qin Wuji brought people to kill him?"
"That's not true!"
Xiao Li shook his head and answered.
Wanyan Ming said relaxedly: "Since Qin Wuji didn't come to kill him, what are you afraid of?"
During this period, Qin Wuji guarded Bingzhou and sent troops for drills at the border from time to time, which made Wanyanming feel fear in the bottom of his heart and even more a little frightened.
Wanyanming didn't want to start a war with Daqian.
I was afraid of being beaten by Zhao Shan.
Once a war breaks out, it will be him who is injured and Jin Guo who suffers losses.
When Xiao Li saw Wan Yanming's appearance, he was so angry that he said anxiously: "Zhao Shan arranged for envoys to send a message for you to go south to Luoyang for pilgrimage. This matter was not only reported to us, but also to the Northern Wei Dynasty and Yelang Kingdom. "
Wanyanming snorted and said, "I won't go."
Xiao Li said anxiously: "If your majesty doesn't go, I'm afraid Qin Wuji will come over soon. I heard that Qin Wuji has led his troops to the border and is preparing for war. Now that Zhao Shan has just destroyed the Japanese country, his prestige is great, if not If we go, wouldn’t it allow Zhao Shan to find a reason?”
"me……"
Wanyan Ming felt extremely sad.
It’s impossible not to go!
Zhao Shan is really annoying.
Xiao Li solemnly said: "Your Majesty, please take a trip. I will accompany you south. Today's Daqian is stronger than ever and we cannot afford to offend him. If we offend Zhao Shan, that would be a big deal."
Wan Yanming was dejected and waved his hands: "That's all, go ahead and make arrangements. Prepare the gifts and gifts. We will go south to Luoyang to meet him. We can't give Zhao Shan any chance or reason to get angry."
Xiao Li said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Wan Yanming waved his hand to urge Xiao Li to leave. After Xiao Li walked away, his back disappeared from sight. However, Wan Yanming had no intention of fussing. He didn't want to roast the whole lamb and let people play by themselves. He got up and returned. The king's tent has gone.
…
Yelang Kingdom, the imperial capital.
The emperor of Yelang Kingdom is named Li Wanli.
It has been more than ten years since he became emperor. However, under the structure of Yelang Kingdom, each family has always been in power, and the imperial power has always been suppressed. It is not easy for Li Wanli.
Li Wanli wooed the Ruan family of Yelang Kingdom just to gain further power. As long as Ruan Zhongxin won a great victory in the Japanese country and the news came back, Li Wanli could further promote Ruan Zhongxin and let Ruan Zhongxin take further power, opening up the current situation for him.
In the study, Li Wanli was still reading the memorial.
He looked at the memorial that impeached Tai Lieutenant Hu Biao and threw it aside with some annoyance.
Hu Biao is the helmsman of the Hu family of Yelang Kingdom. He has served for three dynasties and is now over sixty years old. Others are in their sixties and have already grown old. They can neither get up from their beds nor eat.
However, Hu Biao can eat and drink.
It is said that one meal consists of three large bowls, as well as meat and wine.
He is simply healthier than Li Wanli.
Hu Biao served as Taiwei and took control of the military. The Ruan family was mainly in charge of government affairs. The only exception was Ruan Zhongxin, who actually served in the military. Li Wanli's plan was to use Ruan Zhongxin to gradually sideline Hu Biao and seize Hu Biao's rights.
While Li Wanli was reading the memorial, he was also thinking in his heart.
These days, the conflict with Hu Biao is getting bigger and bigger, and Li Wanli is very interested in taking action. Fortunately, there are people from the Ruan family to check and balance, so Hu Biao does not dare to make mistakes, and Li Wanli suppresses his plan to break up. .
Now, the situation must be broken.
The key to breaking the situation lies in Ruan Zhongxin.
Li Wanli was looking forward to it, hoping that Ruan Zhongxin could win and defeat Da Gan's army.
While Li Wanli was thinking in his mind, there was a sound of footsteps, but the eunuch from the palace entered and saluted: "Your Majesty, there is news of the war in the Japanese country. The Japanese Emperor Abe Yunxiao was defeated and captured. The Japanese Kingdom was destroyed and completely destroyed by the Japanese Empire. Dry annexation.”
brush!
Li Wanli's expression changed drastically.
His eyes were sharp and he asked eagerly: "Where is Ruan Zhongxin? How is our army?"
The eunuch replied: "Reporting to your majesty, General Ruan was also defeated and captured, and became a prisoner of Zhao Shan. Our army was completely wiped out. Now the Japanese country has completely fallen, and all our strength has been defeated."
hiss!
Li Wanli took a breath.
My whole heart felt chilly.
Inside, I was even more nervous.
If Ruan Zhongxin wins, everything will be easy. The problem is that Ruan Zhongxin loses, which will be troublesome. What if Zhao Shan wants to use this matter to get angry? They are coming to attack Yelang Kingdom.
Li Wanli thought that he was not afraid of Zhao Shan, but once the war started, if the final situation was not favorable to Yelang Kingdom, it would be a huge blow to the prestige he had finally accumulated.
That's why Li Wanli didn't want to go to war with Zhao Shan head-on.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong, Hu Biao led his army into the city and forced his way into the palace."
Another eunuch came running quickly, making him even more panicked.
The eunuch looked anxious and said: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Hu Biao rebelled and came directly."
boom! !
Li Wanli was even more shocked.
He stood up quickly and said loudly: "Guard me, guard me!"
When soldiers came in from outside the palace and blocked the entrance, Li Wanli stared at the outside of the palace and said, "How dare Hu Biao? How dare he rebel? Who gave him the courage?"
"Who gave me the courage? Haha, it was His Majesty the Emperor of Daqian who gave me the courage."
Hu Biao's voice came.
Hu Biao was sixty years away, with a chin and a tiger beard, looking majestic and striding in. When Hu Biao entered, people from the Ruan family and other civil and military officials entered.
Hu Biao looked around at the Imperial Guards who had retreated into the palace, then his eyes fell on Li Wanli, and he said loudly: "Li Wanli, Emperor Daqian destroyed the Japanese country. However, you are an enemy of Daqian. This is a matter of death." road."
"If you want to die, don't drag down our Yelang Kingdom."
"If you want to die, don't drag us to death together."
"In fact, if you had not arranged for Ruan Zhongxin to go, there would not be today's chaotic situation. All of this is because of you, so I can only ask you to abdicate."
Hu Biao's eyes were sharp and he said loudly: "Why are you still standing on the dragon throne? Get off the throne."
"You rebelled and deceived heaven."
Li Wanli's eyes were angry and he said loudly: "Hu Biao, you are really crazy, you actually rebelled."
He looked at the civil and military officials in the hall and said coldly: "You are all ministers of my Yelang Kingdom, and now you are rebelling with Hu Biao. You treacherous ministers and traitors, a group of treasonous ministers and traitors, you all deserve to die!"
Hu Biao said disdainfully: "Li Wanli, it was not us who rebelled, but your great ambition and lack of talent, which led to today's situation. Especially His Majesty, Emperor Daqian, has sent a decree to let the Emperor of Yelang Kingdom go to Hajj, otherwise he will raise troops and go south. "
"For the sake of Yelang Kingdom, your Majesty, please abdicate."
Hu Biao shouted loudly.
"For the sake of Yelang Kingdom, your Majesty, please abdicate."
"For the sake of Yelang Kingdom, your Majesty, please abdicate."
Every civil and military official spoke up, all siding with Hu Biao. There was no other way. The Ruan family completely fell in favor of Hu Biao. Both major families had changed. The other small families could not make waves and could only follow suit.
Li Wanli was even more angry, shouting that he was a traitor and traitor, but Hu Biao directly ordered someone to take him down and imprison him.
Li Wanli was controlled, and Hu Biao supported a twelve-year-old little emperor to succeed him.
The little emperor is not Li Wanli's son, but a contemporary of Li Wanli, just a side branch.
After Hu Biao re-registered the emperor, he announced that he would take the young emperor to Luoyang to meet Zhao Shan. With the cooperation of the Ruan family, Hu Biao further controlled the imperial city, controlled the army, stabilized the situation, and led the emperor northward.
The Kingdom of Jin, the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Yelang Kingdom, as well as some other small countries, and even some countries in the Western Regions, all arranged for people to meet Zhao Shan.
A large number of people gathered from all directions towards Luoyang.
