Empress work daily

Chapter 283
It is no longer possible to conceal Jiang Jian's whereabouts, so Ji Qiang can only tell the truth.

"The national teacher is fascinated by the avenue. Recently, he has frequently sensed the call of the immortal fate, so he left the national teacher's mansion."

"It's like this?" Shang Xuan stood up in shock, he never expected that Jiang Jian's reason for leaving was...to become a fairy!
That's right, even if he is a master of the gods and ghosts, there is no guarantee of immortality. No matter who happens to such a great thing, no one will be indifferent.It's no wonder that Jiang Jian would simply abandon his children's affection.

It's just that Yaoyao, who has wronged him, is rarely tempted, but the object of his temptation is devoted to cultivating immortals. This is really... Shang Yao couldn't help thinking of himself and the late emperor, and suddenly closed his eyes.

This is probably still the Buddha's punishment for him.

His whole life has been full of sins.

But it was not enough for the Buddha to punish him alone, but also to punish his daughter.

"Don't think too much about it." Ji Qiang raised his head and said seriously: "The national teacher has helped a lot, no matter to Daliang or to me, what he has done is impeccable. Blocking the National Teacher's Ascension Avenue?"

Shang Xuan stared at Ji Qiang in a daze, heartbroken.

"I have figured it out a long time ago, or to be more accurate, I have expected it and accepted this fact a long time ago, but I am still a little... not used to it." Yes, she is just not used to the sudden departure of the national teacher, and it will take time After a while, she must gradually get used to the fact that the national teacher left.

Shang Xuan had nothing to say.

The sumptuous breakfast became dull in an instant, and after a short while, his complexion was fine, but he left Yangyuan Hall full of melancholy.

……

Ten days later, news came from the western region that the Northern Army's troops were gradually slanting westward, as if they wanted to help Wu Ye.

When Ji Qiang received the news, he immediately conveyed the order to Polygonum, the king of southern Yunnan, to close the West Market and attack several towns on the border of Wuye at the same time. Another [-] Xuanjia troops headed by Ban Zhuojia marched towards the west overnight.

Hearing the news, Wu Ye, who was in a fierce battle with Wanju, immediately mobilized more than half of his troops from the border of Wanju to fight Daliang.As soon as most of the troops withdrew in the western border, Wanju had the upper hand. In the eastern border, Polygonum multiflorum was advancing bravely and was invincible. For a while, Wu Ye showed signs of being eaten away.

To everyone's surprise, Beirong actually watched the allies fall.

Upon receiving this news, Xia Qiongju's heart that had been hanging over the past few days completely subsided.Back then, when His Majesty sent Ban Zhuojia as the front general and Bai Fusu as the deputy general and military division to reinforce the western region, he directly mobilized the soldiers. He did not discuss with him, the Minister of War, beforehand.

At the same time, there are many tiger generals who are bewildered.

Xia Qiongju struggled for a while, and hesitated for a while, but could only wait and see what happened.

Most of the time, His Majesty discusses everything with these courtiers, and it is precisely the small group of "arbitrary" that makes them uncertain.Xia Qiongju didn't have any dissatisfaction. He knew that the "small part" that was rarely seen that year was the monarchy.

Xia Qiongju even affirmed that among the four generations of female monarchs, only Your Majesty has the most skillful handling of this "small part" of monarchy, and it is also the most frightening.

……

"Your Majesty, Xia Shangshu has arrived." Ling Lu came in and reported.

Ji Qiang, who was looking at the map of the Western Territory, hurriedly announced people to come in.

As soon as her words fell to the ground, Xia Qiongju had already stepped onto the threshold with one foot. Since the imperial court dispatched troops, this was the sixth time Xia Qiongju had entered the Yangyuan Hall. Ho Ho.

As soon as one foot came in, he had already opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is overjoyed, overjoyed!"

In the eyes of the Four King Kongs, Xia Shangshu has always been steady, and has never lost his composure like this.

Ji Qiang excused Xia Qiongju's ceremony, and asked him with a smile where the joy came from.

Xia Qiongju readily accepted the monarch's knowing question, and said happily: "The most critical battle, the Beirong did not send troops. I missed this good opportunity. If I want to find it again, I am afraid it will be impossible."

This is indeed the case, although Ji Qiang still doesn't know what Yizhi Han, who has completed the unification of the three tribunals of the Northern Rong, has not made a move, what is he thinking.

Xia Qiongju sighed: "Recovering the Youting King Maoerdun, Yizhi Han lost troops and lost generals, and it took a lot of effort to subdue Youting. Therefore, I guessed that Beirong's deployment of troops to the Wuye border this time probably Nine is just testing Daliang's reaction."

"It's just that Yizhihan didn't expect that Daliang's reaction would be so strong and his methods so tough."

Ji Qiang admitted that Xia Qiongju's analysis was not unreasonable.

"I don't know what's your Majesty's plan next?" Xia Qiongju, who was still smiling just now, suddenly became serious, staring at Ji Qiang with a slightly nervous expression.

"Wait." Ji Qiang spit out such a word lightly.

Xia Qiongju breathed a sigh of relief immediately, his undisguised appearance made people laugh.

Ji Qiang laughed and said, "Could it be that Uncle Tang thought that I would take this opportunity to start a war with Beirong?"

Xia Qiongju: "..."

He was speechless, but Ji Qiang saw that he really had this worry.

Ji Qiang also looked serious and said: "There is a shortage of cavalry in Daliang, and the combat effectiveness is insufficient. Now is not a good time."

Xia Qiongju nodded solemnly, and immediately comforted him: "In the reform of the land system, His Majesty specially selected horse breeding. Now the whole country is raising war horses for the imperial court. Within three years, there will be a strong and huge cavalry team in Daliang."

"What uncle said is true."

……

Half a month later, Wu Ye, who was struggling in the eastern and western regions, was overwhelmed and surrendered to Daliang.

The news spread to Daliang, and the whole country celebrated with joy.

While raising their eyebrows, they all scolded Wu Ye for what he deserved. This scumbag has done so many disgusting things in the past [-] years, and this time he finally paid the price he deserved!

Some even believed that His Majesty should take this opportunity to subdue Wu Ye in order to strengthen the country.

Not long after Wu Ye surrendered to Daliang, Wanju also stopped its military operations. When Daliang sent troops to Wuye and set up the Protectorate, King Wanju immediately sent envoys to express his intention to continue doing business with Daliang.

This idea hit Ji Qiang's heart.

The season flew into this autumn, and the two countries formally reached a trade agreement. This time, not only good horses were circulated, but also grain, silk, spices, porcelain, fur, paper and so on.

Without Wu Ye's interference, the direct trade connection between the two countries saves time and troubles, and the price is even more flexible.

When the trade between the two countries was in full swing, news came from Wuye Duhufu that at the border between Wuye and Beirong, Beirong herdsmen quietly exchanged cattle, sheep, and horses for silk, rice grains, and utensils for Daliang.

In the beginning, the Beirong Royal Court let it go, but soon began to arrest herdsmen who wanted to exchange horses for daily necessities and food in the country.Afterwards, the Royal Court of Beirong even issued a strict order that anyone who exchanged horses with people from other countries without permission will be executed on the spot.

When the news came, Ji Qiang couldn't help laughing.

"It is said that Qin Shaoqing entered the palace."
