Marry Changle in Datang

Hearing Qin Wenyuan's words, Catherine felt her back dripping with cold sweat. Thinking about her current state, how could she look like the king of a kingdom? As a regiment, all the sergeants without the command of the general were ordered to surrender and surrender, and they were postponed to clean up the party members of Duke Mozheshan.

At this time, a large number of soldiers arrived outside the palace, but the army loyal to Queen Catherine came to support the king after receiving news.

Another group of nearly [-] soldiers armed to the teeth and equipped with advanced equipment compared to the army of Foyingji was led by Zhang Dabao and Lu Qingyun.

Seeing that the situation outside the palace subsided and the rebellious army had been completely controlled, Queen Catherine summoned the kingdom's military and political ministers to discuss matters in the palace.

In the meeting hall of the King's Palace of Foyingji, Queen Catherine is wearing a crown, holding a scepter symbolizing royal power, and sitting on a high throne. Dozens of princes and ministers are standing in the hall, all with solemn faces, paying attention to this place from time to time. Sitting behind the queen from time to time, the unassuming Prince Qin of the Tang Dynasty made the atmosphere in the hall oppressive and dignified, full of chilling atmosphere.

Queen Catherine shouted sharply from the throne when she saw a group of courtiers in place.

"Bring the general who led the army to the palace!"

Dozens of guards armed with knives heard the queen's order, and immediately escorted a dozen blood-stained soldiers to the steps in front of the hall, making them kneel down to accept punishment, but unexpectedly, some of these dozens of soldiers were not afraid of life and death. A man who would rather die than maintain the majesty of a soldier, his face was full of anger and refused to kneel down.

There is a saying; now that you are a fish under the knife, how can you tolerate half of your disobedience.

The sergeants of the guards hit several soldiers who refused to kneel with their weapons, causing screams in the hall. Queen Catherine frowned and said loudly.

"You are the soldiers of the kingdom, you don't know how to be loyal to the king and love the country, and you want to lead the army into chaos and plunge the empire into civil strife. Now you don't know what you did wrong, and you should be punished. According to the laws of the kingdom, this king ordered the kingdom's military and political ministers to discuss how to deal with you. , now it seems that this king is too kind, if that is the case, then don't blame this king for being cruel."

After saying this, Queen Catherine then said to the princes and nobles in the hall.

"My lords and ministers, the Duke of Mozhishan committed a rebellion and rebelled, and has been executed on the spot. The Duke of Artor took over as the Minister of the Kingdom's Military Aircraft and was in charge of the kingdom's military affairs. He will lead his troops to deal with the rebellion in the army from now on. Those who are associated with Yan and commit great treason and immorality, no matter how noble their status, will be deprived of their titles, detained, and hanged at a certain date, and their family members will serve as official slaves."

After the queen said this, many ministers in the palace gasped. Nima, this is going to be exterminated. I think since the establishment of the kingdom, no king has implemented such cruel policies. Now the queen is so angry that she violates the virtue of virtue. Convincing the ancestral precepts and implementing the policy of killing may have something to do with the Tang prince behind her who has magical means and kills without blinking an eye.

There were several mature and prudent nobles who came out to persuade the Queen patiently. They wanted to make the Queen change her mind and asked the Queen to impose the death penalty on the chief culprit.

When Catherine heard the words, she thought that the princes and ministers were thinking about the overall stability of the kingdom, so she approved it, and the ministers in the palace praised him, calling him a wise king.

This is exactly what Catherine and Qin Wenyuan wanted to achieve when they discussed the kingdom's military and government, but they borrowed the method of the Tang royal family's gentleness and kindness to their courtiers to govern the kingdom. Naturally, they accepted it as soon as it was good.

The soldiers who were imprisoned in the palace knew that a catastrophe was imminent at this time, and finally lowered their usually invincible heads and shouted for mercy. Unfortunately, it was too late, and they were all sent to prisons to treat the military ministers and military officials who did not obey the dynasty. After the generals were cleaned, they publicly strangled the chief villain in front of the common people in the royal city, which served as a deterrent effect.

After the dispersal of the court, Qin Wenyuan called Zhang Dabao into the palace, and ordered him to lead five hundred elites to station in the palace to protect the queen, and made a plan to make Queen Catherine order her personal guards to be led by Duke Athor temporarily, and to clean up the uncertain factors in the army. This is to ensure that when the Duke of Artor handles the affairs of the army, he will not fail the matter because he does not have an army that obeys orders.

According to Qin Wenyuan's plan, the queen ordered the guards to be temporarily led by the Duke of Ator, and ordered him to clear out the soldiers in the kingdom's army who were not conducive to stability as soon as possible, so as to appease the turbulent mood in the army.

Since then, the Folangji Kingdom has launched a bloody cleansing campaign in the royal court and the army. Three warships of the Datang Navy under Qin Wenyuan's command are close to the Kingdom's military port. The Kingdom of Machines assisted the external forces of the rebellious party to launch a ruthless counterattack, so those princes and nobles in the Kingdom of Machines who wanted to rely on the support of external forces all took the initiative to show weakness to the queen and swear to express their loyalty.

With regard to the domestic political forces opposing Queen Catherine, Duke Mozhan Shan's henchmen, under Xu Tian's strategizing, Duke Athor faithfully carried out the Queen's wishes and led the Queen's personal guards to eliminate potential crises that would be detrimental to the kingdom one by one. Most of the nobles, big and small, who are accustomed to playing around with the wind, also swear allegiance to the Queen.

Several months passed in a blink of an eye. At that time, Queen Catherine felt heavy and very tired. Many wives of Qin Wenyuan investigated and checked her. They knew that she was a cypress tree that was about to bloom, and finally had her own heir. The queen was very happy when she heard about it. He entrusted Qin Wenyuan to take care of the kingdom's military administration, but he himself raised his baby in peace in the palace.

When Qin Wenyuan learned that the queen was pregnant, he was naturally pleased. This is because he is old and has a son. Life is a blessing. What can a husband ask for? Li Kuang, a master craftsman, collected materials from the local area and summoned hundreds of craftsmen to set up weapons workshops to build artillery and other heavy weapons for the Queen's army and strengthen coastal defenses.

This kid Lu Qingyun led the merchants of the Tang Dynasty to linger around the kingdom, carrying out commercial activities, so that the merchant ships moored at the Folangji Port went between the Tang Dynasty and the western countries. The busy scene was really exciting.

With the gradual clearing of the military and political situation in the Kingdom of Florida, a group of young and ambitious young officials gathered around Queen Catherine, which made the political situation of the kingdom very different from the past. First, the government orders were smooth, and second, dissidents were eliminated. Xu Tianzhi reintegrated the kingdom's army, because a large number of non-noble children were promoted to serve as mid-level and lower-level officers in the army, so that the cohesion of the army's loyalty to the queen was even better than in the past.

On this day, the alleys in the royal city were empty by thousands of people, and many people gathered in the center of the royal city to watch the grand event of the kingdom strangling the rebels and thieves.

A high platform was erected in the central area of ​​an empty royal city, on which stood more than a dozen gallows, and each gallows was tied with a person who used to be a prominent figure in the kingdom. The imposing manner gave people a feeling of oppression.

The Duke of Atholl presided over the action of strangling the rebellious ministers. The old boy led a group of civil and military officials to sit on the execution platform, and announced their crimes to the criminals who were tied to the gallows one by one, so that the onlookers would not understand these criminals who wanted to cause civil strife in the kingdom. The aristocrats were very angry, and the crowd was so angry that all kinds of curse words greeted the three generations of these people's ancestors, and even some rogue youths in the city wanted to climb up the execution platform to vent their anger on these people, as if there was a monstrous hatred If it weren't for the army to maintain order on the scene, the execution ground would have been messed up by the people who watched the excitement and were not afraid of big troubles.

After the indictment was read out, Duke Athor yelled loudly at the trial platform.

"Execution!"

However, dozens of strong men pulled up the noose, so that the loyal Duke Mozhanshan opposed the royal court, and the aristocratic civil and military officials who did not listen to the imperial edict were finally subjugated.

After that, Qin Wenyuan instigated the Duke of Artor and Queen Catherine's confidantes to gradually occupy important positions in the military and politics of the Folin Kingdom, which can be regarded as creating a powerful and loyal court for the Queen.

Queen Catherine conceived in October, and finally gave birth to a healthy baby boy. After the news spread in the Buddha Kingdom, the officials and the people all celebrated the fact that the kingdom finally had a male heir. The clan elders who did this have also frequently entered the palace recently to prepare the baptism ceremony for the newborn child, which is called purifying the body and mind.

Qin Wenyuan didn't care much about his son's baptism. He knew that this was an important ceremony for the nobles of the Buddhist Kingdom. If he wanted his son to grow up healthily in this country in the future, and even take over the throne smoothly, the baptism ceremony was the most important thing. The most important thing is, otherwise, the son is a pagan, and even if he can build a country for him, he will not be considered orthodox in this country.

The wives of Qin Wenyuan are of mixed race between the East and the West, and he was so handsome when he was a baby. That is a rarity, as if he is playing with some novelty object. Standing aside made Catherine dumbfounded.

After the child's baptism, Qin Wenyuan respected Catherine's suggestion and made his son's surname inherit the surname of Catherine's royal family. The purpose of course was for the child's future.

The two looked at the sleeping child in the bedroom, and Qin Wenyuan spoke softly to Catherine.

"I said before that this is the most precious gift I can give you. Naturally, everything is according to your wishes, but, when the child grows up, you have to let him know that you have a Tang named Qin Xu Xiaolong, let him know He has his roots in Datang, he has four older brothers and three older sisters, and he will be welcome back to Datang's home anytime."

When Catherine heard what Qin Wenyuan said, she agreed with tears in her eyes. She knew that the man in front of her had said this, and she probably wanted to go back to Tang Dynasty. After all, that was the hometown of this man.

In fact, Catherine knew that there would be a day of separation, but she did not expect that the happy days would pass so quickly, and more than a year passed in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, this man with unpredictable means replaced her. I have taken care of the domestic situation so that there is no need to worry about it. Whether it is military affairs or people's livelihood, everything is now moving in a good direction.

Qin Wenyuan did not leave the Buddha Kingdom immediately after the child was born as Catherine thought.

He had a plan in his heart, but he wanted to use Taoist methods to sort out his son's meridians when his son was one year old, so that he could practice Taoist kung fu in the future. For this reason, he sent a letter back to Licheng, Qizhou, and sent " The master of Qingfeng Guan, his nephew Xu Mu summoned Fo Ling Jiguo to "build the foundation" for his son and teach him the Taoism.

Ladies and gentlemen know what Qin Wenyuan thinks, and they only act according to the wishes of their husbands. They think that even if they go back to the Tang Dynasty now, there will be nothing wrong with them, so it would be better to accompany them to practice Taoism, wouldn't it be happy.

After knowing Qin Wenyuan's thoughts, Catherine was of course even more happy. Apart from dealing with the kingdom's military affairs, she spent most of her time studying and practicing Daoist scriptures with the ladies, but she discovered the magical effect of it. Since then, it has been out of control, and it will be in the years to come She became the highly skilled queen of the Buddha Kingdom.

In the first year of Linde in the Tang Dynasty (664), just after Qin Xiaolong's first birthday, Qin Wenyuan asked his nephew Xu Mu, who had already gone to Folangji, to protect him. Gong made the son enter the dreamland, then removed his whole body clothes, and then pinched the seal with both hands, combed the son's meridians with Taoist magical skills, and sealed the Taoist inner power and heart method in the son's consciousness, and waited for his "foundation" to be completed, so that he could be released and repaired. habit.

This was the last thing Qin Wenyuan did for his son before he left Folangji Kingdom. Before that, he also asked Zhang Dabao to select [-] soldiers from the kingdom army in charge of training. Control the five hundred sergeants with the Taoist "destiny" technique, so that in the minds of these sergeants, the queen and son are the heavens, and they are not allowed to disobey the slightest, only the orders of the queen and son are obeyed.

After forming a battalion of [-] soldiers into the Royal Palace Guards, Qin Wenyuan now finished sorting out his son's body. It was finally done, and it was time for him to return to his hometown of the Tang Dynasty.

On this day, Qin Wenyuan and Queen Catherine summoned the Duke of Artor, the two elders of the Mohists, the master craftsman Li Kuang, Daoist Xumu, Lu Qingyun, Zhang Dabao, and other noble ministers loyal to the Queen to discuss matters in the palace, and talked about returning to the Great Wall. Xu Tian said about the matter of Tang Dynasty.

"Now that the kingdom's coastal defenses have been completed, there are hundreds of artillery pieces equipped in each fortress. Duke Athor is now the Kingdom's Minister of Military Affairs. We should make good use of these artillery pieces. In the next few decades, we should make the Buddha's country safe from foreign enemies. , Domestically, the important ministers of the Kingdom should act according to the will of Her Majesty the Queen, and vigorously promote the development of people's livelihood and commerce.

When Qin Wenyuan's words fell, the Duke of Artor and the nobles of the kingdom all agreed and said yes.

Catherine looked at Qin Wenyuan with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that her man would leave the kingdom soon, and wondered if there would be a day to see him again after this trip.

In the palace, Queen Catherine, Qin Wenyuan and Duke Athor discussed some military policy of the kingdom. After Duke Ator and other princes and nobles resigned from the palace, Qin Wenyuan spoke again.

"The two elders of the Mohist school and the master craftsmen can leave some technologies and blueprints for military and people's livelihood to the queen. If there are Mohist disciples who are willing to stay here to marry wives and have children, they can be mastered by the queen in the years to come. secret forces."
