Perhaps this master underestimated himself and thought that it would take decades for him to integrate the old army of the King of Shu. They simply thought that if they went to the Western Regions, they could only protect themselves. I still think I have considerable confidence in controlling government affairs and the military. Would he endanger his throne by simply not taking on the role of anyone? If it were an ordinary minister, it wouldn't matter. But he chose himself, a person from such a clan who had the same Taizu bloodline as him. Is this boss confident, or is he really eclectic in employing people?
As far as he knew, there were nearly two hundred thousand cavalry under the command of the King of Shu alone. Even if 60% of it is truly used by oneself, it will be enough to pose a threat to the mainland. Moreover, the Western Region is connected to the mainland and controls the Silk Road, so at least the financial resources are guaranteed. Indeed, because of that place in the Western Region, there are still some problems in raising enough food and grass for hundreds of thousands of troops to march eastward. But it’s not like we can’t raise money at all. Back then, I traveled in the Western Regions for a year. We know that once the two sides of the Tianshan Mountains are developed, they will be self-sufficient.
Therefore, even the former Tang Dynasty, which once controlled the Western Regions, never sent any clan to run the Western Regions. Even Tang Taizong, who conquered the Western Regions and was a man of great talent and strategy, sent only civilian and military officers. Compared with the civil servants and generals whose family members or even the entire family stayed in the mainland, Tang Taizong was more worried that his brothers, nephews and nephews would escape control when they arrived in the Western Regions. After all, in the fight for the throne, everyone in the world can be used as pawns, but what about the family members?
He pinched his nose and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. This emperor has spoken to this point, what else can he say? But what Huang Qiong said next shocked him even more. Originally, he thought that this lord would leave his wife and children as hostages in the capital. But he didn't expect that the Lord would agree. As long as he agrees to go to the Western Regions, it is best to take his wife and children away with him. In this way, he and the court will feel more at ease if someone is in charge of him in the Western Region.
Huang Qiong's words made him even more confused. Until I left Wende Hall, I still hadn't figured out what the Lord's intentions were. Send a clan of your own to run the old tribe of King Shu and control the entire Western Region. They also need to mobilize troops to support themselves. Although they are not the elite of the four major battalions, they are still the elite of the integrated guards. Now actually they are not even willing to do what has been customary in previous dynasties, leaving their family members and children as hostages. Does this Lord have too little confidence in himself, or is he too confident in himself?
He has always been thinking in his heart that what Huang Qiong did was to ask him to pick up his wife before leaving, but he only responded. Duan Lin missed her mother too much, and had already obtained the Queen's permission to stay in the palace for three days. Five days to accompany Dao Meiping. At all, I never thought about why His Majesty the Emperor was so eager to pick up Duan Lin as if he was about to throw away a hot potato. Seeing that this guy was leaving, he was a little distraught and ignored him at all, asking him to pick up Duan Lin as well.
Huang Qiong, who also knew that his words today might be too shocking to this guy, pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly. I just waited until Huang Qiong, who had been approving the papers for a while, returned to the small hall behind to take a nap. But she was shocked to find that Duan Lin didn't even have any clothes on. Just like that, he was taking a nap while lying on the bed. The young palace maid sat aside and waited carefully. However, his eyes were a little red, and he obviously looked like he had been crying.
Although it was already the coldest winter, the small hall was very hot because it was the emperor's daily resting place. With Duan Lin looking like this, there was no need to worry about her catching a cold. However, seeing the scene in front of him, Huang Qiong shook his head helplessly. After pulling the quilt to cover her now very attractive Bai Huanghuang body, he was about to turn around and leave. But it didn't matter, Duan Lin, who didn't know whether she was pretending to be asleep or just woke up, was suddenly hugged from behind.
She felt amazingly full against her back. Huang Qiong turned her head helplessly and said to Duan Lin, who was hugging her tightly and not letting go: "Now that you're awake, either get dressed and go back, or go to your mother's place. I just finished talking with your husband, and I'm a little worried." I'm tired, and I really don't have the energy to deal with you anymore. Since you insist on forcing me to speak frankly, then I can't care about your face. At this point, I think you should give up. I won't Touch you. Don’t bother me again from now on.”
But no matter what Huang Qiong did, he thought about breaking Duan Lin's arm from holding him without hurting the woman holding him, but he still failed to do so. Duan Lin, who was holding him tightly, refused to let go. She leaned against Huang Qiong's arms and said, "If you want me not to provoke you, you are thinking too much. In this life, as long as I live, I will not let you go." I will let go. Even if I can only be like Bai Feng and Gao Mei, the two foxy girls, and be your shady lover for the rest of my life, I am willing to do so."
"Don't tell me that you haven't touched Bai Feng. And don't tell me that the son Bai Feng gave birth to is really Duan Suping's son. If Duan Suping had that ability, he wouldn't have paid a lot of money to his wife and concubines after so many years. You only have one son. You even got the three queens of Dali Kingdom together. Two of them still maintain an unclear relationship with you, and one openly stays with you. Am I still missing? My There are not many requirements. The clan has an audience every three years. Every time you come for an audience, you just need to stay with me for a few days."
Regarding Duan Lin's words, Huang Qiong sneered: "You are wishful thinking. I tell you clearly that I have decided to canonize you as the King of Anxi, go to the Western Regions to rectify the old army of the King of Shu, and control the Western Regions instead of the imperial court. In order to prevent him from being in the Western Regions because of Beauty gets in the way, so I ask him to go with his whole family. The Western Region is far away from the Central Plains. From now on, it depends on him whether he will establish himself as a king or be a barrier to the Qi Dynasty forever. The Middle Earth is far away from the Western Regions, so I may not ask him to do so. He comes once every three years. Even if he comes once every three years, he may not be able to take you with him."
After Huang Qiong's words fell, Duan Lin, who had looked charming and charming before, changed her expression and said coldly: "I never thought that in order to avoid seeing me, you actually wanted to drive us all out of Middle-earth and send us to our country. Go to the Western Regions. After all, Huang is the emperor of the Qi Dynasty. He is really ruthless. I didn't expect that you would do so ruthlessly to avoid me. I still think about it after all, even if you don't think about it. I'm grateful for my kindness, but I always have to worry about Dao Meiping. But I didn't expect that you would be so decisive."
Looking at Duan Lin's cold face, Huang Qiong smiled faintly: "You can think whatever you want. I have nothing to say to you. But I warn you, no matter what you think, I will It has been decided, and there is no possibility of changing it. You'd better not do anything about this matter, or persuade him to refuse my request. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. Don't use your Qingyang Mansion's Your future and destiny are in this arena with me. I accept everything except threats."
After Huang Qiong said this, Duan Lin smiled. That smile was so charming that even ordinary women, not to mention the man Huang Qiong, would probably be a little unbearable. She stood up slowly, showing all the beauty in front of Huang Qiong. Then she whispered in Huang Qiong's ear: "Your Majesty, after all, you despise him. Although he is not as good as Your Majesty, he is not far behind. How can I, a woman, persuade him? But. , Judging from His Majesty’s words, no matter how I hear or feel about him, he has not agreed yet.”
"My husband, although we have only been married for a short period of time, I still understand him well. If His Majesty can threaten me like this, at least he has not promised to Your Majesty yet. And for Your Majesty, unless you want to bear the hat of a harsh clan, , Otherwise, Your Majesty will not force him too much. However, although I may not be able to persuade him not to accept Your Majesty's request, I can persuade him to accept Your Majesty's request. After all, no man in the world will be willing to do so. You are looked down upon by your own wife, aren’t you?”
The woman in front of her had a coquettish smile on her face. When she spoke in his ear, her tone was not natural, but it was filled with infinite temptation. The strange feeling brought by the amazing fullness next to her. Coupled with the orchid-musk-like body fragrance, Huang Qiong's anger, which had been dissipated, couldn't help but feel a little distraught again. However, although the anger in his heart was aroused again, Huang Qiong remained calm on the surface and said in a calm tone: "Are you trying to bargain with me?"
Huang Qiong's tone was plain and even cold. Duan Lin didn't pay any attention at all. Instead, while rubbing Huang Qiong's body continuously, he exhaled and said: "I am just a woman who has subjugated her country. How can I dare to bargain with His Majesty the Emperor of Qi? What if His Majesty becomes angry and destroys my entire family? Didn't he die unjustly because he didn't get the meat? My request is very simple. Either give me a son of His Majesty's flesh and blood, or agree to what I did before."
Duan Lin's two requests made Huang Qiong feel a little angry. After saying something ridiculous and mistaking me for someone else, he turned around and left. But just before Huang Qiong left, Duan Lin behind him said: "I heard that a delegation headed by the Emperor and Empress of Dali will arrive in Beijing soon. As for me, I am somewhat lax in my words. If so, Your Majesty can't block my mouth, there may be something that I said inadvertently. I just don't know, what will happen if Duan Suping finds out?"
In response to Duan Lin's words, Huang Qiong turned around and grabbed Duan Lin, saying in a cold tone: "Are you threatening me? In this world, no one who dares to blatantly threaten me has yet been born. I am today My son told you that the child has nothing to do with me. If you believe it, you can believe it. If you don’t believe it, I can’t help you. If you let me know and you are gossiping outside, I can directly give it to Qingyang County Duke. In addition, I will point out Marry one. I can tell you that you are not the only princess of Dali who can be married to your husband."
After all, I don't know whether to vent my anger for myself or give Duan Lin an unforgettable punishment. Huang Qiong grabbed Duan Lin's hand and yanked it hard, directly pulling a certain person bald. The severe pain felt like nothing to Duan Lin. She just laughed and said: "I'm just threatening His Majesty, so what? If Your Majesty really gets rid of me, do you think he will agree to go to the Western Regions? Since Your Majesty refuses to agree to me, then no one will have a good life." Passed. Even if the fish is dead and the net is broken, I can do it too."
Seeing that the words had reached this point, this woman still refused to repent. Huang Qiong, who was too lazy to say anything else to her, threw the things in his hands on the ground and said, "You can stay here if you want to stay here." Then turned and left.
