Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

Lu Lao's worries are indeed justified.

In the final analysis, most of the veterans knew what was going on about his marriage with Xia Yuxiao, so if the two could be of one mind, then naturally there would be nothing to say, but if the two broke up with each other, then there would probably be a big mess.

However, it is still unknown whether the two can be united in the future. Qin Ji is not a saint. He really wants to make Daxia prosperous, but the premise is that others must live.

When a person dies, everything is empty.

Therefore, he will not obediently punish him for the sake of the so-called national plan.When necessary, he will still do what should be done.

Chapter 50 Engagement

On the day of the engagement, everything went very smoothly.

The emperor's engagement ceremony was naturally a big deal, and the whole palace was hung with red satin symbolizing auspiciousness.Outside the main hall, the sound of bells and drums sounded, forming an atmosphere like a fairyland in this empty space.

Xia Yuxiao was wearing a red dress, and the gold silk dragon and phoenix figure was particularly dazzling on her body.

Relatively speaking, Qin Ji's clothes should be restrained. It is not so much a festive bright red, but a slightly calm dark red, which looks a bit like an official uniform.

However, what caught the eye this time was actually Lingyan next to Qin Ji.

Theoretically, at the emperor's wedding, there were only two people on the altar at the engagement scene, but this time there was an extra soul.

This was also Xia Yuxiao's arrangement.

According to the arrangement this time, Lingyan will also participate in this ceremony with Qin Ji. Although she doesn't need to do anything during the ceremony, she just needs to wear a black embroidered silver "wedding dress" beside her. Going to the altar is enough to explain everything.

Yes, it means that Xia Yuxiao is marrying one and giving one away, and "marries" Lingyan along the way.

Originally, Qin Ji asked Lingyan to officially enter the palace, and Xia Yuxiao was also aware of the relationship between the two. Due to etiquette, she could not allow Qin Ji and Lingyan to have another bigamy... ..

Therefore, they simply "married" together, and the reason for releasing it to the outside world was that Lingyan, as Qin Ji's bodyguard, was reliable and loyal, so they entered the palace together.

It feels a bit like a dowry maid.

In this way, Lingyan and Xia Yuxiao are in the same family, and the concentration of power will make those ministers powerless to resist.

Qin Ji first saluted Xia Yuxiao with the gift of a monarch and minister, and then handed the engagement token to Xia Yuxiao.

This is a pendant carved from precious jade, with a picture of hundreds of flowers carved on it with meticulous knife work. It is conceivable how much effort the craftsmen took to carve the picture of hundreds of flowers on such a small pendant.

The two parties worshiped heaven and earth, concluded a marriage contract, and finally entered the Taimiao to worship the ancestors of the past dynasties.

After the engagement process was over, everyone had lunch together, and Xia Yuxiao left because she still had to deal with the country.Then, amid the congratulations of the ministers, Qin Ji returned to his Chunning Palace.

In the afternoon, there was an endless stream of people from Chunning Palace——Xia Yuxiao is the emperor, she is dealing with government affairs now, and the ministers will naturally not blindly go to the emperor's study to disturb people's cleanliness, so they can only come here to find Qin Ji flattered him a bit.

Facing today's entertainment, Huilinchu and Suilongwei were really busy for a while.

County guards from all over the country also came to the court one after another, and foreign envoys also came to congratulate. Some of these people came to congratulate, but most of them came to inquire about information.After all, it is not a trivial matter for a captain of a country to marry the emperor. The more you know about the details of this matter, the better for some people.

Therefore, the Gray Scale Department and the dragon guards must keep a clear record of what each minister has said and done, so as to identify and prevent the necessary information from leaking out.

Qin Ji dealt with the officials calmly, and chatted with the foreign envoys for a while.

This marriage is originally a political need. Since the marriage has already been done, it is better to take this opportunity to obtain more necessary information. The current attitudes of the surrounding countries towards Daxia's engagement can be seen from the status of the envoys. come out.

Among them, the ones from the Saar Dynasty were not envoys, or in other words, they were former envoys.

"I really didn't expect that you really dare to be engaged to His Majesty of your country."

When Wuheya came to congratulate, it was already very late.

Although she was well prepared, when she heard that Qin Ji was really engaged, she still felt a bit like dreaming.

She knew that Chunning Palace was absolutely full during the day, so she simply went there with gifts at night when people were almost gone.

"How dare you do this, Your Majesty will not eat me." Qin Ji said with a smile.

"I really didn't expect that you married before me." She smiled, and then took the tea Lingyan handed over, "What do you want to do next?"

"What to do, what to do?"

Qin Ji asked.

There are so many things to do, how could he know what Wuheya meant.

"Me, what are you going to do?"

Wuheya reminded helplessly.

Qin Ji was speechless for a moment, he glanced at Wu Heya, feeling the atmosphere was very awkward.

No, this involves his knowledge blind spot.

Seeing Qin Ji froze suddenly, Wuheya couldn't help wondering if her old friend's mind had been dulled by these entertainments. She reached out and knocked hard on his forehead: "The matter in the north, you guys have to deal with it." Are you going to solve it?"

"..."

To be honest, it is naturally a good thing for a proton to have a high ideological awareness, but it is really eye-opening for someone with a high ideological awareness to tell the second-in-command of the country where he is going to be a proton how to cheat his own country.

"We haven't thought about this matter yet, and now the war between Daxia and Saar has ceased."

Qin Ji said.

"You really think so?"

There is a little disdain in Wuheya's smile. She is very clear about her role, and she is also very clear that after Daxia completely stabilizes the internal political situation, she will not allow Saar Kingdom to be capricious and have a certain strength. The state messes around with itself.

There is no way, the previous monarchs of the Saar country have already ruined the country's credibility, and it is not the first time that the capricious violation of the agreement has been done.

And as the princess of the Saar Dynasty, Daxia will naturally not give up using this perfect chess piece.

"The issue in the north is not something you need to consider."

Qin Ji replied.

"Really, then dare to ask Lord Taiwei, how do you plan to solve the problem in the northern border? Use the soldiers of Daxia to conquer my country? Or, do you plan to let those tribes around our country consume the Saar Dynasty?" blood?"

When Wuheya said this, she didn't look away at all.

"It seems that no matter which one can completely solve our country, I believe this. However, can your country afford the price of fighting two foreign wars in a short period of time? Although our country dare not say that it can compete with Daxia's The strength is comparable, but we also have a certain military strength, at least we are not Samanjiang... Is it possible that Daxia will use hundreds of thousands of troops to suppress the border? Are the costs and benefits equal?"

"But if you have a princess from the Thrall dynasty and find a way to get her to return to the country to stage a coup...then this may be the least costly method. I guessed right, right?"

She is well aware of her fate.

She knew that she was not a chess player, but a useful chess piece, and now, the chess player was in front of her.

A chess piece cannot decide how to move, but at least, the biggest difference between her and a chess piece is that she can choose a chess player.

"As I said, it's not something you need to think about."

Qin Ji's tone gradually cooled down.

"I didn't think about it that much, and I didn't want to plot against anyone." She picked up the pastry next to her and took a bite. "I have self-awareness. If you want to use me as a chess piece, just use it. I don't care. Anyway, I am If you can’t fulfill your original vows, instead of getting depressed, you should be a friend, and you can live up to your original promise.”

Qin Ji was silent.

Today's Wuheya doesn't seem to be as calm as it appears on the surface.She seemed to be in a bad mood.

Chapter 51 Warnings

"Uhya."

Qin Ji sat beside her, and then said in as calm a tone as possible:

"I don't want to really use you at will. Indeed, you have that value, but..."

"Qin Ji, I suggest you, either be a perfect chess player or a complete person—you are in a mess now, you know?" Wu Heya stood up suddenly and said coldly.

"What do you mean?"

"You are starting to be merciful and hesitate. Qin Ji, you were not like this before." She tried her best to calm herself down, but she couldn't calm down, "I heard about your expedition this time, you did a good job, and Your Majesty's marriage has also been done very well. But why are you still hesitating now? You should grasp what power should be grasped, and give up what should be given up in favor."

"You want to use me, but you don't want me to be your puppet. What exactly do you want to do? You will kill yourself sooner or later, don't you know?"

"Isn't it a little too much for you to say that..."

"You are marrying the emperor, Qin Ji. Do you really have any illusions that you can impress others with your sincerity? This time she can marry for profit, and next time she may suddenly stab you for profit. You ..."

She couldn't go on.

In fact, in the final analysis, Wuheya also knew that she was not qualified to say these words, because she was the one who failed first, she failed to fulfill the oath of the two, and to be honest, seeing Qin Ji was more like a person than a person. In fact, she was a little secretly pleased with the power machine driven by ambition.

But why do I always feel awkward today?

"You...your matter...too sudden."

She knew about Qin Ji and Xia Yuxiao, as well as their marriage, but the engagement came too suddenly.

Too hasty, people are not prepared at all.

"Wuheya, I don't have illusions about others. It's just that, under unnecessary conditions, I don't need to do things that hurt my friends."

Qin Ji said seriously.

He knew what Wuheya meant.

However, sometimes, when conditions permit, he still hopes that he can protect the people around him as much as possible.It's not the time to need Wuheya, so he doesn't want to move for the time being.He is a human being, not a machine for the benefit of Mo's feelings.

"My country, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will soon be destroyed." Wuheya smiled bitterly, which was so forced in Qin Ji's eyes, "To be honest, I also want to save my country, but ...I'm powerless. I'm sorry, Qin Ji, I shouldn't force you to do anything, after all...I'm just trying to vent my emotions."

"It's not your fault, Wuheya, you've done your best."

Qin Ji was sure that, for the Saar Kingdom, Wuheya had already exhausted his benevolence.

And this country does not welcome her.In other words, her father and even all her relatives, the entire Saar Dynasty, do not welcome the existence of a person like her now.

Times are changing. The era when the Saar people relied on their horses and sharp knives to defeat everything is over. They used to be the most difficult opponents of Great Xia. Now, in front of a full-scale army, such a charge has lost its former power.

But the Saar people are obsessed with the powerful dreams left by their ancestors. They always think that they can restore the glory of their ancestors, but their strength has become an empty shell.

"The Weixi Empire is studying magic, Great Xia is undergoing military reforms, and the magic science of the Hedia Empire is developing rapidly, and has even researched dolls that are exactly like people... But my country is still Among the advocacy of horseback riding and hacking and killing. Qin Ji, if possible, I would rather be a pawn, even if it can give my country a little hope of catching up with the current era."

Wuheya spoke the truth.

In this era, the world's first-class powers are almost all looking for ways to break through their own development bottlenecks, each exploring their own paths, and although their own countries still maintain a certain strength at the moment, they have already lost their future.It wouldn't be a bad thing if she could really become Daxia's pawn and allow her motherland to slightly change the current ancient thinking.

It is much better to lose some interests now than to be completely conquered by other countries decades later.
