A knife in love

Chapter 2936
When Ding Guan said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "There is one more thing, I might as well tell Uncle Li and Miss Mu. The Fusang Kingdom is a barbarian from overseas. I don’t even know how to defend men and women. A woman can not only be the patriarch of a family, but also a court lady, and even a king. Now the head of the Fusang Kingdom is a woman. It has been three years since she ascended the throne. It is said that this woman is very witty and extremely Yes. Although the Matsuda family has greatly increased in power, they have little chance of winning against the Fusang court and the coalition forces of daimyo from all over the country. Therefore, the leader of the Matsuda family and his retainers painstakingly planned. In order to preserve the Dewa country, only Can go one step further, seize the throne of the lord of the Fusang Kingdom, and then cut down the vassal in the name of the king, wipe out the famous names from all over the country, and unify the two islands of Fusang. It just so happens that the lord of the Fusang Kingdom passed away and left no heirs, only a daughter who is waiting to be married The important ministers of the Fusang Kingdom elected this woman as the lord of the Fusang Kingdom, known as Queen Qingtian. After hearing the news, the Matsuda family came up with a way to seize the position of the lord of the Fusang Kingdom without using weapons, and sent envoys to Fusang The capital of the country wants the eldest son of the Matsuda family to marry the female lead of the Fusang country."

When Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan heard what Ding Guan said, they were startled in their hearts. They thought to themselves that Fusang Kingdom let a woman be the king. It is even more unbelievable to want to marry the queen back home as a daughter-in-law.Such a barbarian country behaved inconceivably.

When Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan were thinking about it, Ding Guan continued: "In recent years, the Songtian family has been ambitious, trying to wipe out famous names from all over the world and monopolize the two islands of Fusang. It can be said that Sima Zhao's heart is well known. Knowing that the Songtian family sent envoys to the capital to ask the queen to marry them, the crowd became furious and beat the Songtian family's envoys to death in the court hall, and persuaded the queen to issue an imperial decree to call all the daimyos who were loyal to the court of Fusang to dispatch troops and horses. Join forces to besiege Dewa country.

"If it were someone else who was the king and saw the important officials in the court making such noise, I'm afraid I'd lose my mind and immediately order the big names from all over the country to send troops. But Queen Qingtian refused to invite the ministers, only saying that the Songtian family did not have any malicious intentions and there was no need So angry. Moreover, Izumo country is an important town in the north, and it is the fence of Fusang country. The imperial court is relying on Izumo country to resist the barbarians on the northern islands from invading south. It is absolutely impossible to turn against Izumo country because of some trivial incident. The important officials of the court think that the empress is too Too cowardly, naturally he refused to give up, and still persuaded Queen Qingtian to issue an edict to crusade against Deyu country.

"Empress Qingtian could not persuade the ministers of the court, and finally summoned several important ministers to the palace to give a banquet. It is said that the queen asked the ministers at the banquet, since all the lords advocated the use of troops against the Deyu country, I don't know which lord is willing to lead the army Expedition? Although these ministers kept clamoring in the court hall, they threatened to destroy the Dewa country, kill the Matsuda clan, and move all the gold and silver treasures accumulated by the Matsuda family for generations to the capital. It's just that these people are not forgiving, but When it comes to leading troops to fight, they retreat faster than anyone else. When the ministers thought that the Matsuda family was seized, they all scrambled to get a share of it, but they are not fools. They know that after several generations of management, the Matsuda family He is no longer Wuxia Ameng, not only has strong financial resources, but also has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and his subordinates are like rain of advisers and fierce generals. Not only did the few big names who secretly tried to persuade the Songtian family fail to succeed, but they were all defeated by the Songtian family. , the end was extremely miserable. Therefore, when it comes to the confiscation of the Matsuda family's wealth, everyone is eager to take the lead, but when it comes to leading the army to attack the Izumo country, everyone gives in, and no one dares to take the lead.

"Empress Qingtian saw that none of the ministers dared to lead troops to go out, so she said to everyone that the Songtian family was plotting evil, and the world knew it, but even though the Songtian family had the intention of rebelling, they had no real rebellion. I am afraid that there are very few daimyos who will respond to the imperial court's call for recruitment. At that time, the imperial court will only be in an embarrassing situation. Moreover, it is by no means a single daimyo of the Matsuda family who covets the throne of the Fusang king. There are still several daimyos who harbor evil intentions. The other ambitious daimyos could only benefit from a big fight. It is better to be patient for the time being, to appease the Matsuda family, so that they will not dare to act rashly. Secretly fan the flames and sow dissension, so that those daimyos who have always had rifts with the Matsuda family and Matsuda In this way, in order to deal with the daimyos from all over the country, the Izuha country would not dare to use weapons against the imperial court. And even if the Izuha country defeated those daimyos, its own losses would not be small. The court can take advantage of the exhaustion of the Izuba country When dealing with big names from all over the world, they secretly recharged their energy, recruited soldiers, and practiced soldiers and horses. As the saying goes, no one will be happy for a thousand days, and a flower will not be successful for a hundred days. Although the Matsuda family is strong, there will be a day when its power will decline. At that time , The imperial court issued an imperial decree to summon the daimyo from all over the country to send troops to the north, and they would definitely be able to destroy the Dewa country and the Matsuda clan.

"The ministers didn't expect that Queen Qingtian would have such insight. Everyone admired them, and they all agreed with each other. They never proposed the idea of ​​attacking Deyu country. Queen Qingtian sent confidant officials to Deyu country to report to Matsuda about the envoy's killing. The family apologized, and rewarded the Songtian family with a lot of silver to appease the leader of the Songtian family. The leader of the Songtian family talked and laughed happily in front of the court officials, but did not get angry. It's a shame, but I know in my heart that Liangzi has been tied. The court of Fusang Kingdom knows that the Matsuda family will rebel, and the Matsuda family also knows that the court of Fusang Kingdom will never let Izumo Kingdom go. It's here."

When Ding Guan said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "The Songtian family is worried that the court of Fusang Kingdom and other daimyos are secretly doing tricks, and they are always on guard. They sent warships to patrol the sea around Songtian Rock Island. In order to guard against the Fusang court and other big names' surprise attacks."

After Ding Guan finished speaking, Murong Danyan thought for a moment, frowned and said: "The female master of Fusang Kingdom discusses with her ministers how to deal with Fuyu Kingdom. It is an extremely confidential matter. How can Mr. Ding know such details? Listen. Mr. Ding talked eloquently, as if Mr. Ding was sitting next to him and listening attentively when these Fusang people were discussing."

Hearing what Murong Danyan said, Ding Guan looked a little embarrassed, only heard him cough twice, and then said with a smile: "Miss Mu is right, this matter is indeed extremely confidential, it stands to reason that it will not be disclosed Outsiders know. However, Fusang Kingdom is not like our Ming Dynasty. Their so-called imperial palace is just a few slightly larger rooms. How can it be compared with the imperial palace in our capital? Queen Qingtian discussed with the ministers how to deal with the Matsuda family I don’t know why, but this matter got out. Fortunately, both sides knew that it was inevitable to turn against each other, so they pretended not to know, and secretly stockpiled soldiers, horses, food and grass, preparing for a big battle.”
