Outside the city of Chang'an, the capital of Daqian.
After Xiao Ce and Dai Guang came together to comfort them, and with the death of Zhao Qixi, the victims who wanted to attack the city gate were calmed down.
Some of them wanted to take the opportunity to make things worse, and even wanted to rush forward and find an opportunity to kill Dai Guang or Xiao Ce, so as to completely arouse the conflict between the victims and the court.
But the victims of the disaster are not fools. Even these people have the intention to use this opportunity to do big things.
But Dai Guang and Xiao Ce saw it.
Dai Guang immediately asked people to control the troublemakers, and quickly provided enough food, and made repeated guarantees, and finally made money.
The victims are not stupid either.
If they continue to make trouble, as the official said, they may not be victims of the disaster, but rebels.
One can imagine the court's attitude towards rebels. Li Hongji, the biggest rebel in Longyou Road, was beheaded. Not long ago, his head was still hanging on the city gate!
They just want to eat and survive.
It’s not a rebellion!
On the same day, Dai Guang arranged for someone to find a place for them on Gyeonggi Road, and paid a high price to build village houses.
Finally, the few hundred victims left outside the city took their money and left.
With this money, they can return to Longyou Road, buy a property and house, and become tenants.
Today, a large group of people appeared outside the capital.
It seemed that there were about twelve or three guards, and one of them was particularly conspicuous. He was tall and mighty, as tall as nine feet, and was covered in tendons.
Just standing in front of him was like a mountain.
Thirteen guards guarded the three carriages, which looked dusty and tired from the journey.
"Elder Princess, Chang'an City has arrived."
After looking at the majestic Chang'an City wall, a young general wearing bright light armor in front of the carriage rode to the side of the carriage and reminded him softly.
"Um."
A woman wearing a Confucian robe and a white headscarf came out of the carriage. One can't help but imagine how beautiful she would be if she put on normal women's clothes.
This woman is Murong Xueyuan, the eldest princess of the Yan Kingdom. She has the blood of the Xian tribe in the Northeast. She disguises herself as a man, but she is not heroic at all, and she has a different kind of charm.
Murong Xueyuan looked at the towering city walls. Along the way, the capital was the most prosperous. She said with emotion: "It is worthy of being the capital of Daqian."
The young general Helianshan said softly: "Elder princess, when I, Dayan, conquer the golden thieves and dominate the north, I can also build such an imperial capital."
Murong Xueyuan did not argue, and said with a smile: "Old General Helian taught well. It is extraordinary that you can still have such aspiration after meeting the Daqian capital."
After being praised by the eldest princess Murong Xueyuan, Helianshan's face turned red, with pride and joy in his eyes.
The convoy handed in the customs clearance documents and went through some inspections. Except for the waist knives of the young general and the Thirteen Guards, there were no hidden weapons.
Only then was it released.
After entering the city, someone was already waiting for him.
Geng Nanqiu, the minister of Honglu Temple, and several people were waiting in the city to receive the envoy of the State of Yan and the eldest princess of the State of Yan with the Daqian etiquette.
After entering the city, Murong Xueyuan and others got off the carriage.
When they saw Geng Nanqiu in official uniform, they knew that this should be the official who received them in Daqian.
"The envoy of Yan State, Murong Xueyuan, is polite."
Geng Nanqiu cupped his hands and said: "Geng Nanqiu, the minister of Honglu Temple, has been ordered to come to greet you. Please follow me to the post house."
Murong Xueyuan cupped her hands and said, "Thank you."
Geng Nanqiu took them to the post house to settle down, and arranged for people to take care of them in the post house. In fact, this was to monitor the movements of the envoys of the State of Yan. Secondly, he also asked the people in the post house to investigate the envoys of the State of Yan. What they brought this time.
He might as well report the situation of the envoys of the State of Yan to His Highness, lest anything happen later and he would be blamed instead.
The proper etiquette and etiquette must be in place. In addition, there is also the task of surveillance, which must also be in place.
This is very spiritual when done well. Geng Nanqiu is Li Linfu's man.
So if there was any situation, he would actually report it to Li Linfu as soon as possible, and then report it to the Prince of the Supervisory State.
After Geng Nanqiu left, Murong Xueyuan asked her maid Nalan Mingyue, who was also dressed as a man, to invite someone.
First of all, there are two people on the second carriage, an elegant and easy-going middle-aged man who is also wearing a Confucian robe, and an old man with a gray beard but a bright and energetic man. These two people, the middle-aged man is from the state of Yan. Nalan Fengxiao, a scholar at Tongwenguan, was known as a child prodigy since he was a child. He was appreciated by Emperor Murongyin of Dayan. Later, he was taught by famous teachers and carefully trained. He already had the style of a great Confucian and was a master of poetry in Dayan. .
The old man's identity was even more noble. He was Fan Wencheng, the founding official of Dayan. He followed Murong Taiji, the first emperor of Dayan, in his expeditions in the north and south. He made many ingenious plans and helped Murong Taiji establish Dayan.
Next, there is Qian Qianyi, the Eighth Governor of Dayan. This person has also been smart since he was a child. He has learned a lot and studied under the great Confucian of Yan State. He has a reputation of being upright and loyal, and he is also a capable minister of Dayan.
Finally, there was the young general Helian Shan.
The four of them arrived at the private room of the posthouse together, with guards guarding the surrounding area to prevent anyone from secretly eavesdropping on their conversation.
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The four of them arrived at the private room and bowed to Murong Xueyuan who was standing there.
Murong Xueyuan first saluted Fan Wencheng, and then returned the salute to Nalan Fengxiao, Qian Qianyi, and Helianshan.
After returning the gift, she was not polite and sat directly on the front seat, then extended her hand to ask Fan Wencheng to sit down.
"According to intelligence, the disaster in Daqian Longyou Road has been brought under control, and the Prince of the Supervisory State is doing his best to provide disaster relief."
"The food and money from the three major grain merchants in the capital are definitely more than enough to provide disaster relief to Longyou Road."
"With the internal worries of Longyou Road gone, Daqian will be able to free up its hands to deal with other things."
"But what's interesting is that now the Prince of the Supervisory State and the Prime Minister of Daqian are in a state of inexorable power."
"It also gives us a chance."
Murong Xueyuan immediately told all the information that the spies had heard. There was no need to hide Daqian's situation.
The people sitting here are all dedicated to Dayan.
Fan Wencheng stroked his beard and said nothing.
Nalan Fengxiao could only recite poems and write lyrics, but he knew nothing about political intrigues.
Qian Qianyi pondered for a moment and then spoke first: "The prince who oversees the country in Daqian is not an ordinary person. He has been hiding for more than 20 years, and once he gained power, he emerged from the abyss."
"A person who is ruthless, decisive in killing, and able to endure. If such a person becomes the emperor of Daqian, he will definitely be the second Xiao Di."
The four northern kingdoms that Xiao Di fought back then were unable to hold their heads high, and they were always fighting with each other.
When Xixia was weak, Daqian helped Xixia by providing food and weapons, and then sent troops to help Xixia suppress the Meng Yuan.
When Dajin was weak, Daqian also provided money, food, and weapons, and sent troops to help Dajin resist the invasion of the Mongolian Yuan and Yan Kingdoms.
So much so that the four northern countries failed to form an alliance and were always attacking each other.
Such an emperor has always been a nightmare for the four northern kingdoms.
It's not like they haven't thought about an alliance. However, facing the attractive conditions offered by Daqian, this alliance has never been established.
At that time, Dagan was very strong, with countless famous generals and powerful troops. With more than 10,000 troops, it was possible to defeat tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry without their helmets and armor.
There is a legend about the Daqian Iron Cavalry, which states that if there are less than ten thousand Dagan Iron Cavalry, they will be invincible.
It was only in the past few years, when they heard that Xiao Di was seriously ill and bedridden, that they began to think about taking advantage of the opportunity.
Emperor Murong Yin of the Yan Dynasty actually prepared for this for five years. He built strong soldiers and horses, trained elites, and built the best armors. He also made good friends with Da Gan and handed over five years of tribute, so that Da Gan would be neglected. Monitor.
Now they have united with the third prince of Daqian, King Yan Xiao Zheng, to calm down the border areas and communicate with Daqian merchants.
He planned to join forces with Zonglian and Heng to take advantage of the internal fighting in Daqian to send troops to attack Dajin. After occupying Dajin's resources, he finally joined forces with Meng Yuan to go south, occupy half of Daqian, and then plot the entire Central Plains.
Because today's Dajin is actually moving towards Daqian, and also intends to swallow up the Yan Kingdom.
Without Dayin as a roadblock in the middle, Dayan can establish an alliance with Meng Yuan.
As for Xixia, it is no longer a climate, so there is no need to worry.
The eldest princess Murong Xueyuan nodded slightly and said: "So we cannot let a second emperor like Xiao Di appear in Daqian."
"Li Linfu has sent someone a letter and wants to cooperate with us."
At this time, Fan Wencheng said: "Your Highness, Princess Li, Li Linfu must be a cunning person to control the Great Qian Dynasty. Rumor has it that he is a man of sweet words and a sword. You should be careful when conspiring with this person." Some."
His words had two meanings. One was to remind Murong Xueyuan to be careful about Li Linfu and not to be betrayed by him. The other was to agree to conspire with Li Linfu to prevent the current Prince Daqian from continuing to supervise the country.
The eldest princess Murong Xueyuan nodded towards Fan Wencheng and replied: "Thank you, Mr. Fan, for reminding me. I will keep it in my heart."
Murong Xueyuan looked at Nalan Fengxiao again and said slowly: "Then we will follow the original plan and invite Mr. Nalan to be the vanguard."
Nalan Fengxiao cupped his hands and said: "As a scholar, I can be a pioneer for a while, so I can finally repay Your Majesty for your kindness."
The next day, the Yan State delegation asked to see Geng Nanqiu, the minister of Honglu Temple, saying that Nalan Fengxiao, the first poet of Dayan, wanted to go to Daqian Hongwen Hall to visit the great scholars of Daqian.
Geng Nanqiu knew immediately that they were coming with bad intentions.
And when he reported it to Mr. Li, he didn't receive any instructions. He was just asked to report directly to His Highness the Crown Prince.
Xiao Yi was actually watching the movements of the Yan State envoys. When he heard that their first poet was going to visit the Hongwen Hall, he understood that this was a bad person who wanted to slap the Hongwen Hall in the face.
However, this move cannot be ignored.
He immediately agreed to the matter and asked Geng Nanqiu to take Nalan Fengxiao to the Daqian Hongwen Museum.
