Xia Nihuang rubbed Lu Qian's head, and then said with a smile, "You are thinking too much... Moreover, with our current national strength, even if Beiliang wants to attack us rashly, it is not that simple... "
Lu Qian nodded and said, "If they attack us openly, it means Dongfang Shen is not here...So, I doubt Yu Li will know..."
Xia Nihuang squatted in front of Lu Qian and said with trust, "You are the strongest and wisest man in the world... You don't have to be afraid of that Dongfang Shen..."
Lu Qian looked at Xia Nihuang and smiled knowingly.
I am indeed a little neurotic.
...
There were no problems for several days, and the news that Lu Qian sent out to inquire came back.
Everything is peaceful in northern Xinjiang.
However, Chen Qi said that he would ask the Tianji Army guarding nearby Beiliang to send people to Beiliang to investigate.
There is no return.
This is suspicious.
Lu Qian wanted He Xun to ask people from the Chamber of Commerce.
As a result, He Xun told Lu Qian that people from the Heshi Chamber of Commerce had not received news from Beiliang for a long time.
All kinds of clues were told to Lu Qian.
Something must have happened in Beiliang...
...
Until one day a month later.
Lu Qian went to court early as usual.
Xin Shun from the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and said at the beginning, "Prime Minister Lu, Beiliang Kingdom is about to hold the Holy Mountain Festival once every ten years. The kings of the three kingdoms have been specially invited to join us for the feast! Since we in Daxia have not appointed a new king, So Beiliang is inviting you, Prime Minister Lu, to the banquet. The invitation has been sent ahead of time. The inviting envoy has also set off and will arrive soon."
"The Holy Mountain Festival? What is it? You want to invite us there?" Lu Qian felt a little strange after listening to Xin Shun's words.
All the previous news in Beiliang made Lu Qian feel that this was obviously a trap.
Because he hasn't heard of it either.
Xin Shun looked at Lu Qian with some surprise.
Seeing that Lu Qian really didn't know, he said, "Reporting to Prime Minister Lu, the Shenshan Festival is actually not only a festival in the Northern Liang Kingdom, but a prosperous event on our entire continent..."
The Shenshan Festival refers to the Father God Mountain in Daxia.
This Father God Mountain is the highest mountain on the entire continent.
It is also the place of origin recognized by people on this continent.
The Kailash Festival originated from the Dragon Kingdom.
Held once every ten years!
Later, after the demise of the Dragon Kingdom, it was divided into dozens of vassal states.
Everyone maintains an unspoken understanding.
That is during the period when the Holy Mountain Festival is held, if there is any war, it must be stopped.
All kings will take their country's people to the Father's Mountain to participate in a series of activities.
Thus, blessing the people everywhere with good weather.
After hearing this, Lu Qian said, "Can you not go?"
When Xin Shun saw what Lu Qian said, he was a little surprised and said to Lu Qian, "There is no precedent for this..."
"Prime Minister Lu, if you don't go... the venue will regard you as disrespectful! All the people of Daxia are not allowed to go... Father God is the God of the entire continent and in the heart. I'm afraid it will cause resentment among the people. ..”
As soon as Liu Shiqing finished speaking, Xia Wenzhi looked smart.
"Xiang Lu, if you don't want to go, you can ask me to be your new king, and I will go in your place...I am willing to share your worries..."
Looking at Xia Wenzhi's appearance, Lu Qian couldn't help but sneered, wondering whether he was just thinking about it.
Lu Qian ignored him.
Instead, he asked Xin Shun, "If we go, how long will it take? Also, how many people can we bring?"
"As usual, more troops will be added to the border of northern Xinjiang. Then the accompanying escort team is suitable for 10,000 people. However, Prime Minister Lu, you don't have to worry. Their envoys coming this time will also send hostages to various countries. To represent them
Sincerity..."
After listening to Xin Shun's words, Lu Qian couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Xin Shangshu, you can't be so naive. If he is really someone they care about, why would you send him as a hostage?"
Chen Qi said at this moment, "Prime Minister Lu, we are not going this time... Beiliang has been so weird recently. Once outsiders enter, there is no news or news... I think there is something wrong with Beiliang country." .We can't take risks..."
Liu Shiqing said, "Chen Shangshu, I don't think so! I think we just want to go... I think this is a trick of the Beiliang people!"
After listening to Liu Shiqing's words, Lu Qian curiously asked Liu Shiqing, "Trick? Where to start?"
Liu Shiqing said to Lu Qian, "Prime Minister Lu, before the death of the late emperor, Northern Liang sent people to mourn. The real change actually started when you switched defenses to Northern Xinjiang... They were using a scheming plan. They knew Prime Minister Lu You are proficient in scheming. They deliberately created an atmosphere where there seemed to be great changes within Beiliang. This made you suspicious."
"Then I will take advantage of the situation and invite you during the Shenshan Festival. If you refuse to participate, there will definitely be resentment among the people in Daxia. However, any troubles, natural disasters, or man-made disasters in the country will be attributed to the anger of Father God. "
"The country is not the most terrifying. The most terrifying thing is that whether it is Beiliang or Dazhou, whatever problems they encounter can be said to be caused by us despising Father God, so they send troops to fight for us and fight for Father God! Moreover, There will definitely be a response!”
After hearing Liu Shiqing's words, Lu Qian realized that his analysis was very reasonable.
Chen Qi disagreed and said to Liu Shiqing, "Liu Shangshu, what you said are all your conjectures... What if they really have a problem in Beiliang? They just wanted to seduce us... and then they attacked us Kill...you tell me what we should do when the time comes..."
"Chen Qi, what you said may really happen...but! How dare you say that the consequences I said will not happen! What you said is a guess! What I said is inevitable!"
Both sides began to argue with reason.
Both sides are talking about the public's reasons and the mother-in-law's reasons.
Lu Qian suddenly realized the dilemma that Xia Jiuyuan had when he sat on the throne.
Just when Lu Qian was at his wits end.
Xia Wenzhi appeared again and said to Lu Qian, "Prime Minister Lu, I actually have a plan...that can get the best of both worlds..."
Before Lu Qian could speak, Liu Shiqing and Chen Qi both looked at Xia Wenzhi curiously.
Lu Qian looked at Xia Wenzhi and asked curiously, "Do you have the best of both worlds?"
Xia Wenzhi nodded repeatedly, then bowed and said, "Prime Minister Lu, you just need to appoint me as the new king. I will go to the Holy Mountain Festival. In this way, if they have any conspiracy, they will also come against me... Prime Minister Lu, you All we need to do is strategize in Daxia!"
After Lu Qian listened, he was speechless for a while.
However, if you think about it carefully, there is indeed some truth!
The best emperor master
