Seeing Queen Lanxiang's anger, the members of the mission were a little worried, fearing that the other party would directly turn against her.
Zhang Beichen was unmoved and said: "The Hexi Corridor must be controlled by the State of Yan. This is the Queen's only choice."
"That's not necessarily the case!" Queen Lanxiang decided not to communicate with them anymore and said, "I'm a little tired. I don't want to discuss this matter anymore today. You can go down first."
The mission resigned, and just as they were leaving, Queen Lanxiang suddenly said: "Be careful when you live in the post house. There have been assassins in the post house before."
"Huh?" Zhang Beichen was surprised when he heard Queen Lanxiang's words.
Was Queen Lanxiang warning them, or was she pointing something out?
He thought in his mind: "Does Lan Xiang also have the memory of the last simulation?"
"That shouldn't be the case. The only players in this simulator are me and the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms."
Zhang Beichen then thought about it, and Hao Ziyi was not a simulator player. But when I communicated with her, she said that she had dreamed about herself.
"Could it be said that characters who have had close contact with me will also gain part of their memories, but they will not have the same authority as the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms?"
The more Zhang Beichen thinks about it, the more likely it becomes that if his guess is correct, then Lan Xiang still knows him in this round!
This idea still needs to be confirmed.
…
Back at the post house, the envoys from the Yan Kingdom were still discussing Queen Lanxiang's attitude today.
"This Queen of Dayuezhi doesn't seem to want to submit to me, Dayan!"
"What should we do if Queen Da Yueshi turns against us?"
"Why are you afraid of her? I, Dayan, have strong soldiers and horses, so I directly mobilized my troops to defeat Dayuezhi!"
"I should tell her how powerful I am, and cooperate with the mobilization of the army. This Queen of the Yueshi should surrender!"
The envoys asked Zhang Beichen what he thought: "Prime Minister, what do you think?"
"Don't worry, everyone, maybe Queen Lanxiang will change her mind tomorrow." Zhang Beichen smiled mysteriously.
Everyone was confused, "Does the Prime Minister have any other trump cards?"
Although they were puzzled, everyone still stayed in the post house as arranged. Because of Queen Lanxiang's reminder, everyone also specially told the guards to be careful of assassins' sneak attacks at night.
However, at night, a man wearing night clothes left the inn under the cover of darkness without anyone noticing.
This person is naturally Zhang Beichen.
Zhang Beichen is now at the middle stage of the Saint Realm, and it is easy to sneak into the Great Yueshi Palace.
He concealed his aura and came to the palace in a familiar way. Zhang Beichen did not go directly to the queen's palace, but came to the room where he had simulated hiding before.
That was the place where Zhang Beichen and Queen Lanxiang had their first "date". If Queen Lanxiang still has memories, she will definitely remember this location.
Zhang Beichen came outside the room, which was dark and dark.
He opened the door gently and walked in.
It was very quiet inside, and the furnishings in the room were exactly the same as in my memory.
With Zhang Beichen's spiritual awareness, he could easily sense the presence of a person in the room. It was a woman, and that familiar scent made him understand that she was Queen Orchid Fragrance!
"Who?" Queen Lanxiang felt someone approaching, and she felt anxious and nervous at the same time.
The chaotic memory made her understand that maybe in this dream, Zhang Beichen, like her, also had some memory fragments from the past.
If that's the case, doesn't it mean that the two of them can renew their relationship? That's why she gave Zhang Beichen hints during the day, hoping he would understand!
When she thought of this, Queen Lanxiang couldn't help but her heart pounding!
The visitor approached step by step, and Queen Lanxiang had already seen the familiar figure. She asked with a trembling voice: "Is it you?"
"It's me!" Zhang Beichen appeared in front of her in a flash.
Looking at that familiar face, Queen Lanxiang's heart almost jumped out of her chest!
She was still dressed like a queen, half of her pretty face was covered, and her bright eyes were as fascinating as the starry sky on a summer night!
"Do you still remember this place?" Queen Lanxiang asked tentatively.
"Of course I remember!" Zhang Beichen gave an affirmative answer.
"What do you remember?" Queen Lanxiang wanted to ask for more confirmation. Zhang Beichen smiled slightly: "Remember your face, your fragrance, your heart and your scream!"
His words made Queen Lanxiang blush, and she thought to herself: "He indeed has his previous memories!"
"Do you also remember?" Zhang Beichen actually already got the answer.
"Yeah." Queen Lanxiang hummed. At this moment, their eyes met, and there was no need to say anything.
Zhang Beichen directly possessed him and kissed her directly through the veil without even lifting the veil!
Lanxiang's body quickly softened, her breathing became rapid, and after a moment, she tore her veil.
"Clothes!" Lan Xiang wanted to take off her clothes, but Zhang Beichen stopped her.
"In this outfit, aren't you quite dignified during the day?" Zhang Beichen said with a smile.
Lan Xiang's face turned hot, "You are so rude to me!"
"You can be more rude!"
[That night, you went to bed in the Great Yueshi Palace and did not return to the post house until the rooster crows. 】
…
"Sir, it's time to wash up." The servant reminded outside.
"Here we come!" Zhang Beichen stayed up all night and was still in high spirits. The physical quality of the holy realm is reflected here.
The envoys from the State of Yan have been prepared for a long time. They hope to continue to see Queen Lanxiang for negotiations today.
Zhang Beichen stopped her and said, "There's no need to see her today. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Why is this?" The messengers were puzzled.
Naturally, Zhang Beichen couldn't tell them that Queen Lanxiang worked too hard last night and couldn't go to court today, right?
He could only say: "Let her think about it for two more days. There is no rush."
[Two days later, Queen Lanxiang issued an order to summon the Yan State envoy again. 】
Seeing Queen Lanxiang again, the Yan State envoy found that this time was completely different from the last time.
Queen Lanxiang not only changed her outfit, but her attitude was much more friendly than before.
She announced: "I have been thinking carefully these days. Our Dayue clan and Yan State have been doing business with each other for a long time, and we have dealt with the Xiongnu together. The two countries have been friends for many years."
"So I decided that from now on, the Dayue clan would pay tribute to the State of Yan, become a vassal state of the State of Yan, and jointly manage the Western Regions."
"The queen is wise! Emperor Yan will definitely reward the queen!" The envoys were overjoyed, and they also prepared many rhetoric and means. The quickest plan is to order the Yan Kingdom garrison stationed in the Hetao area to send troops to the Dayue clan to force Queen Lanxiang to agree to surrender.
Who would have thought that in just the past two days, Queen Lanxiang's attitude would be completely different and she would directly agree to surrender to Dayan!
"My great power, Yan, is famous far and wide, and the countries in the Western Regions dare not offend my power of heaven!" The envoys were very proud, and Zhang Beichen smiled and said nothing.
He settled down in Dayuezhi and began to arrange many matters.
Recovering the Western Regions is naturally not as simple as paying tribute every year.
Zhang Beichen wanted Dayan to completely incorporate the Western Region into its territory this time.
[You wrote to Emperor Yan, suggesting that the Western Regions Protectorate should be established in the Western Regions to manage the Western Regions and maintain public order. Emperor Yan agreed. 】
[You continued to send envoys to other countries in the Western Region. Most countries surrendered, but some countries refused and were conquered by your troops. Two years later, all the lands in the Western Regions belong to Dayan! 】
[The Western Region has entered an era of co-governance by the royal families of various countries and the Great Yan Protectorate of the Western Region. 】
After the Western Region was included in Dayan's territory, Dayan's national destiny skyrocketed again, and its national power was far stronger than the unified empire simulated in previous simulations!
[Dayan opened silk, tea and porcelain trade to the west. The prosperous trade brought a lot of wealth to Dayan. 】
…
Five years later.
In Emperor Yan's Palace, Zhang Beichen, Yan Qingwu, Zhao Yun, and Hao Ziyi were strolling in the palace garden.
Yan Qingwu and Zhao Yun, the mortal enemies, have been able to live in peace with each other despite being together in the simulated time and space for so long.
Zhao Yun said: "The children have grown up, it's time to entrust them out and let them guard the territory for Dayan."
Over the years, Zhang Beichen and them had six children, three from Zhao Yun, one from Hao Ziyi, and two from Yan Qingwu.
Yan Qingwu thought for a moment and said, "Then let them go to the Protector's Mansion. The borderland needs my heirs to be in charge!"
Several people were chatting, when a messenger came to deliver the news: "Your Majesty, the Kushan Empire's envoy is visiting, and they want to ask to see Your Majesty."
"Envoys from the Guishuang Empire are here? Let them come to the palace to have an audience." Yan Qingwu ordered.
"yes!"
Today on this continent, the four major empires are the Yan Empire, the Kushan Empire, the Parthian Empire and the Roman Empire.
After Dayan swallowed the Western Region, it became neighboring countries with the Kushan Empire.
The Kushan Empire has also developed rapidly in these years. It not only controls the wind and rain in the central part of the continent, but also takes over the Ganges River Basin, becoming a behemoth!
The Silk Road had to pass through the Kushan Empire, and trade between the two countries was also very frequent.
…
In the main hall, Yan Qingwu summoned the delegation from the Kushan Empire.
These envoys were all dressed in exotic costumes, and the leaders among them were still dressed as monks. Bald and wearing monk's robes.
Pi Zhe, the envoy of the Kushan Empire, presented the letter of credence and then said: "I, the King of Kushan, Jia Nisaka, have been fascinated by Dayan for a long time, so I sent us to make friends with Dayan."
"The king wants to form an alliance with the Dayan Empire, and asks the Emperor of Dayan to marry the princess to our country and form a marriage alliance. He also asks the Emperor of Dayan to allow our monks to preach in the east and build Buddhist temples and pagodas."
"What?" Yan Qingwu suspected that she heard wrongly. Did the Guishang King have a brain cramp? He actually asked him to marry his daughter to him, and also allowed monks from other countries to preach?
Who does he think he is?
The officials of Yan State immediately scolded each other angrily. Li Fu scolded: "Where do these barbarians come from who don't know etiquette? How can I, Princess Yan, marry a foreigner far away?"
"It's really ridiculous. It should be you who sent your daughter and son to Dayan as hostages. Is there any reason for the Dayan royal family to go to a foreign country to serve as hostages?" Qing Bai said coldly.
However, Bi Zhe did not feel offended at all and said confidently: "The king is the king of kings of all countries. The Buddha is reincarnated. Marrying the princess of the Yan Kingdom is a blessing to the Yan Kingdom."
"As long as your majesty agrees to my king's conditions, the Kushan Empire will protect Dayan's trade caravans and bring prosperity to Dayan!"
His condescending attitude made Yan Qingwu even more angry. This bald donkey didn't even take her seriously?
Yan Qingwu angrily shouted: "How dare a foreign king make demands of me? How audacious!"
"You go back and tell Kanishaka that I will not marry my daughter to him. Let him keep his son in Dayan as a hostage! In addition, if he dares to invade my Dayan, or attack Dayan's caravan, I will certainly Don’t spare him lightly!”
"I will tell you the truth. I hope Emperor Yan will not regret it!" Vizhe said coldly.
The delegation from the Kushan Empire left, and the officials of the Yan Kingdom were still wondering: "Why are these Kushan people so arrogant and don't take me, Great Yan, seriously?"
Zhang Beichen said: "Maybe they have won too many battles in recent years."
Zhang Beichen had been on a mission to the Western Regions and had a better understanding of the situation in the Western Regions. He introduced: "This Kanishaka is indeed a capable man. After he inherited the throne, he reformed the government, respected academics, and was victorious in every battle, and secured a large territory for Kushan."
"The Kushan Empire is unprecedentedly prosperous, and it is precisely because of this that the Kushan people are so arrogant."
"In addition, I heard that Naga Nishaka believes in Buddhism and claims to be the reincarnation of the Buddha. There are many monks in the palace, and there are temples and pagodas all over the country."
"His purpose of sending the envoy this time is probably to spread Buddhism. At the same time, he is jealous of the huge benefits of our Silk Road and wants a share of the pie."
Zhang Beichen reminded: "Your Majesty must pay attention to Buddhism. The Kushan Empire may want to use it to invade our country!"
"Yes, I remember it." Yan Qingwu nodded seriously.
At the same time, she said: "Let the Protectorate of the Western Regions observe Kuishang's behavior. If Kuishang has any intention of offending my great Yan, let that Jia Nisega know that anyone who offends my great Yan Tianwei will be punished no matter how far away he is!"
…
Bizhe and his party returned to the Kushan Empire.
In the capital, pedestrians and business travelers can be seen everywhere, and many monks are chanting sutras or practicing ascetic practices.
Vizhe came to the palace and met with Kanisaka.
Kanishaka is wearing a white monk's robe and sitting cross-legged on a high platform. He has a full heaven, a serious face, and droopy ears, making him look like an eminent monk.
"Your Majesty!" Pi Zhe saluted respectfully.
"Vizhe, I sent you as an envoy to Yan State, how did you do?" Kanishaka asked. His voice was specially designed by the palace and had an echo effect, which made people feel a little more excited. Awe, like meeting the real Buddha!
Bizhe said: "The Emperor of Yan State rejected your request. She refused to marry a princess and refused to spread Buddhism. She also claimed that our Kushan Empire was a barbarian country, and threatened you not to do anything to Yan State's merchants. Your attitude is Very rude!”
Hearing this, Kanishaka showed an angry face and said, "I treat Emperor Yan with courtesy, but she treats me like this. Anyone who doesn't respect me will surely bear the king's wrath!"
"The order is passed. From today on, all business travelers from the Yan Kingdom who pass through our Kushan Empire will have to pay ten times the tax. Anyone who dares not to obey will be killed without mercy!"
"yes!"
Jianishejia has been jealous of Dayan's business for a long time, but this time he just used it as an excuse. Even without this incident, he often sent people to plunder the merchants of Yan State to obtain wealth.
Jianisejia originally wanted to ask for benefits from the Yan State, but he didn't know that the other party wouldn't give them. In this case, he simply went ahead and grabbed them!
Anyway, in this place, it is Takanisaka who has the final say! What Emperor Yan, he doesn’t care at all!
