Emperor Xia said in a deep voice: "Read it!"
Tingwei said: "Chaozhou's Qu County was lost and occupied by the red barbarians. Currently, the whole of Chaozhou has entered a state of war readiness. Thousands of red barbarian ships are sailing up the river to threaten Yuzhou and Tongzhou."
Emperor Xia's eyes turned cold: "What does the Chaozhou Navy do for food? Are the artillery equipped just for decoration?"
The Tingwei trembled: "The Hongyi people also have artillery, but they shoot farther than ours!"
As soon as this statement came out, all the civil and military officials in the court were in an uproar.
"How is this possible? Hongyi actually has artillery?"
Some ministers who were not dealing with Qin Yun said: "Perhaps Qin Yun betrayed his country and sold his cannons to the Hongyi people. Maybe the Hongyi people's capture of Chaozhou was the result of collusion with Qin Yun."
Xu Jiang yelled: "Fart, His Highness Ninth Prince is definitely not that kind of person!"
Qiu Rende, the minister of the Ministry of Industry who had previously had a grudge against Qin Yun, stood up.
"Master Xu, are you still speaking for that traitor? Qin Yun, who has no king and no father, snatched away the crown princess in front of the civil and military officials of the court. This person is no longer a member of the clan, so how can he speak of His Highness?"
"What's more, as we all know, this artillery is Qin Yun's masterpiece, and the imperial artillery is also Qin Yun's design drawing. There is no guarantee that he failed in the fight for the crown prince's position. He had a grudge and handed over the artillery blueprint to the Westerners."
"Introducing a wolf into the house and destroying our country and the country of Daxia, this person should be punished!"
Zhang Qiguang, the Minister of War, stood up and said: "Yes, he has a heart to kill. Your Majesty, I suggest sending troops to suppress the border, repel the Hongyi people, and at the same time conquer Qiongzhou."
"Yes, send troops there!"
The ministers were excited, and Qin Zheng even stood up: "Father, I, my son, are willing to go!"
For Qin Zheng, he lacked a military exploit. Only by returning with a great victory this time would his position as prince be stable.
But unexpectedly, Yang An stood up.
"Your Majesty, I thought Qin Yun wouldn't do this!"
The ministers had a meal.
Emperor Xia asked, "What did the Prime Minister say?"
Yang An said: "Although Qin Yun was rebellious, he was never soft on foreign enemies. He attacked Ryukyu and beat up the Fusang people without any mercy. Moreover, as far as I know, Qin Yun expelled Qiongzhou not long after he established his foothold in Qiongzhou." Passed by the Hongyi people.”
"The artillery of the Hongyi people is most likely obtained from Fusang!"
Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes: "Why is the Prime Minister so sure?"
Yang An did not hesitate to take out a letter from his sleeve.
"This is a letter Shen Wansan wrote to me a few days ago based on his personal opinion. He hopes that I can open up trade between Ryukyu and the southeastern coast."
Emperor Xia: "Shen Wansan?"
Yang An: "Yes, Shen Wansan is now in charge of Ryukyu!"
Emperor Xia snorted coldly: "This Shen Wansan is so lawless. I am so disappointed. Since he wrote to you, he will definitely not only talk about this one thing."
Yang Andao: "Yes, Master Shen recorded everything he saw and heard in Qiongzhou. Master Shen felt that although Qin Yun was guilty, he considered himself a Xia person. Since he is a Xia person, he would never collaborate with the enemy."
Xu Jiang on the side said: "That's right, His Highness Ninth Prince will never do that kind of thing to collaborate with the enemy."
Emperor Xia looked at Tingwei: "Have the Hongyi people sent someone here?"
"Your Majesty, the Hongyi people sent envoys. They asked Daxia to open up the coastal trade. However, in addition, Qiongzhou also sent a memorial."
With that said, Wei Ting took out the memorial.
"Send it up!"
Liu Jin took it up, and Xia Huang took it and looked at it carefully, but he was furious.
"Bastard thing!"
The ministers were stunned. Could it be that they really collaborated with the enemy?
Qin Zheng took a step forward: "Father, please calm down. May I ask what is going on?"
Xia Huang snorted and threw the book out: "See for yourself!"
Qin Zheng picked it up and read as he read: "I, Qin Yun, established the Kingdom of Qin on the tenth day of the first lunar month. I specifically asked Emperor Xia for approval. If not, I will bring people to Qingjun's side..."
The memorial in plain Chinese is concise and concise, more like a notice than a memorial.
Qin Zheng's face darkened: "Father, Qin Yun wants to split the earth and seal the country. The Hongyi people are coming at this time. I'm afraid it has something to do with him!"
The ministers were solemn and Emperor Xia looked southward.
"My beloved ministers, do you think the State of Qin will allow him to establish his own country?"
The ministers looked at each other.
But at this moment, another messenger hurriedly stepped forward.
"Report, urgent message from the north!"
"read!"
"The second prince of Qi led an army of 200,000 troops to attack Jiaodong City, and was about to retake Jiaodong. The third prince, Qin Zhan, requested to send troops for support."
"Also in the Hexi Corridor, the Sirius tribe cavalry appeared unexpectedly, and the soldiers who were stationed there were attacked!"
Before he finished speaking, another court captain came forward.
"Report!"
"There is an urgent military situation in the Western Region. The Tianlang tribe destroyed Dayue Kingdom and declared the empire. The Sixteen Kingdoms of the Western Region surrendered to Tianlang. Now the Tianlang Cavalry is stationed at the Protectorate of the Western Region. The vanguard force has fought with Marshal Ji Qing. The Marshal requested war horses, food, and troops. support!"
As soon as these words came out, the officials were speechless. The sky was falling too fast.
Emperor Xia sat on the throne with a cold look: "Instruct Ji Qing to stop his crusade against the Western Regions, withdraw to Longyou and Longxi to deploy defenses, and transfer all the new artillery made by the imperial court to Ji Qing."
"Order Zhou Ji to support Qin Zhan, and also mobilize 30,000 infantry from the pass to support Jiaodong City."
"promise!"
The two court lieutenants turned around to deliver the message, and Emperor Xia's eyes fell on Qin Yun's memorial again.
"Now that the imperial court has no time to care about the south, if Qin Yun wants to found a country, let him do it. However, he must drive out all the Hongyi people!"
Qin Zheng on the side raised his hands and said: "Father, I think that the Red Yi people are far away in the West. Even though they can be cruel at sea, they will never be a major threat to our vast Great Xia. Once Qin Yun becomes bigger, they will not be able to do so." beautiful."
"Don't the Hongyi people want to trade? Through trade, we can also get a lot of tax money to make up for the financial deficit. And as far as I know, the Hongyi people are also afraid of the Sirius Empire."
"Our court is just right to unite with them, and I am willing to go and negotiate with the Hongyi people!"
Emperor Xia narrowed his eyes: "What the prince said is not unreasonable, so how should we deal with Qin Yun according to your wishes?"
Qin Zheng took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that his father was trying to test him. If he ignored the country for personal grudges, then he would not be qualified to be the emperor.
These days, Qin Zheng has adjusted his mentality. He is the prince with great righteousness. As long as he makes no mistakes and is good enough, no one can move this throne.
Qin Zheng pondered: "My son thought that Qin Yun could be used as a bargaining chip in negotiations with the Hongyi people. After all, the Hongyi people are afraid of Qin Yun's armored ships."
"When the time comes, all I have to do is sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Not only will the Hongyi people be dealt with, but Qin Yun will also be able to stay in a corner without daring to move."
Emperor Xia laughed loudly: "Prince, you finally have your own opinion!"
"To convey my decree, Yang An, Minister of War Zhang Qiguang, and Minister of Industry Qiu Rende formed a delegation. The prince went with the delegation to negotiate with the Hongyi people."
"The Dragon Guards will accompany us as escorts, and a battalion of the Forbidden Army will follow us. We will also transfer the Shenlong Ship from Suzhou!"
As soon as these words came out, the officials were stunned. When did Daxia also have a dragon ship?
Qin Zheng cupped his hands and said, "I accept your order!"
In fact, Daxia has already been planning the dragon ship, and this time Qin Yun defeated the Wu Kingdom, which made Zhao Zongrui not dare to be so presumptuous. In order to ease the relationship with Emperor Xia, he even offered five A big ship.
Of course, only God knows whether there is any intention to restrict Qin Yun.
Today's Daxia is like a chessboard, with countries and people all being active pieces on the chessboard.
Multiple parties play chess and conquer the world together!
…
Qiongzhou, Prince Qin’s Mansion.
The original Qiongzhou City Lord's Mansion has been expanded and renovated, and it has gained style and dynastic appearance. The front and rear palaces have also begun to take shape.
Qin Yun had just finished inspecting the preliminary site selection work of the fertilizer plant and returned to the palace without stopping.
Wang Muzhi bowed and stood with the court's reply.
"Your Majesty, the imperial court allows us to establish a country, but it requires us to eliminate the Hongyi people in Chaozhou!"
Qin Yun chuckled and said: "It's still an old strategy to drive away wolves and devour tigers. Don't ignore them. I can destroy them at any time if I want. The top priority is to develop and restore people's livelihood."
"By the way, what did the two Francois say?"
Wang Muzhi said: "Back to my lord, those two people have been clamoring for aristocratic treatment, steak, red wine, and women to serve them!"
Qin Yun said angrily: "I think he looks like a steak, so ignore them. Can Chaozhou send someone over to investigate the situation?"
Wang Muzhi: "Bai Feiyang set off two days ago, and Princess Han also went with him!"
Qin Yun's face darkened: "Nonsense! Why didn't anyone tell me?"
Wang Muzhi gave a bitter smile: "Your Majesty, I've been very busy these days. I'm afraid you rarely go to the harem, right?"
Qin Yun touched his nose awkwardly: "I have been busy choosing a location recently. You are right. I will go there right now."
"By the way, no matter what those two furlongs say, just ignore them. As for the war in Chaozhou, we now have four armored ships in Qiongzhou, which is enough to protect ourselves. We will wait for the new warships of Yue and Qiongzhou to be built, and then we can go deal with."
"Wei Chen, remember this!"
Qin Yun waved his hand and went straight to the harem. As soon as he entered the back garden, he heard Jiang Yingying's voice.
"Twenty-five to eighty thousand, you're crazy, give me the money, give me the money!"
"You lost again, Jiang Yingying, are you cheating?"
"Sister Shen Yue, what you said is that I am not playing cards with you alone. Can't I win some diaper money for my child? Hurry up and give me the money and take the next turn!"
"Damn it, I have to win it back hard." Shen Yue rolled up her sleeves and started pushing cards.
Liu Guanguan on the side stood up.
"My concubine pays homage to the prince!"
Qin Yun had a straight face, and the hearts of the girls sank. Jiang Yingying rolled her eyes and begged: "My lord, I am bored, and you won't let me leave the palace. I can only ask my sisters to play mahjong." ”
Qin Yun said in a deep voice: "Does this king control people so leniently?"
"Then Prince..."
"You actually played cards without me, I will punish you."
The girls smiled coquettishly, and they were all so beautiful.
Bai Wanqing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, what happened to pull you back from the construction site today?"
Qin Yun sat down, and Liu Guanguan squeezed his shoulders consciously.
"Don't mention it, it's just a matter of petty fighting, but it has been solved for the most part. Why did you let Han Jiangxue go to Chaozhou?"
While talking about Qin Yun and making cards, Shen Yue said: "Daiyu also went there, saying she was looking for her hometown."
Qin Yun was stunned, but he forgot about this incident.
Liu Guanguan said with a smile: "Your Majesty is worried about them? Why don't we go together? Anyway, this matter in Qiongzhou is between us and Mr. Wang, so Your Majesty doesn't have to worry."
Qin Yun nodded, then turned around and pulled Liu Guanguan into his arms: "You little girl, you want to usurp the throne. Why, you arranged for me to come!"
"The slave family doesn't dare!" Liu Guanguan said weakly.
Qin Yun smiled and said, "It's yours tonight!"
The faces of Qin Yun and the other girls darkened. Shen Yue pushed the cards away and said with a frown, "Do you want to fight or not?"
Qin Yun laughed loudly: "Of course we fight, but let's play something different. Whoever loses will take off his clothes..."
Shen Yue raised her eyes: "Hunjun, come on, who is afraid of who?"
Qin Yun laughed loudly: "Don't cry later!"
Liu Guanguan: "What about my concubine?"
Qin Yun: "Of course you are on my side. Come on, draw the cards. Where is the word "Sex"?"
Bai Wanqing threw it to Qin Yun: "Here!"
Unlike other card games, mahjong is a high-IQ game. Qin Yun thought he could kill everyone. Who would have thought that when Bai Wanqing became serious, she would repeatedly cut off the beards, causing Qin Yun to be embarrassed first.
This made the girls giggle: "My lord, you can't do it either!"
Qin Yun covered his crotch: "Come again!"
