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

"I will consider the matter on Thrall's side, but not now."

Qin Ji replied.

It's not that he doesn't think about it, but that the country needs a short break now.

The Red Kite Army has lost tens of thousands of people this time, which is very small compared to the victory in the west. However, the gap of [-] imperial regular troops cannot be recovered in a day or two, and the country Further scaling up military change also takes time and money.

Supporting Wuheya does not require Daxia to use the army again, but this does not mean that Daxia does not need troops to prevent the situation from getting out of control.

So, can't move yet.

"Is it interesting? I probably wouldn't have thought that I was unwilling to give up the interests of any country, but now I beg you to let me be a traitor."

she said mockingly.

"And, even with you, I haven't been successful."

When she said this, Qin Ji frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"Means nothing."

Wuheya dealt with it casually, and then stood up: "Forget it, I won't disturb your rest. Today I see that you haven't rested from morning till night, so you must be quite tired."

"Sit down a little longer."

"No, someone is still waiting for you inside."

Wuheya waved her hand, then walked away with a calm pace.

"Oh, that's right," looking at her back, Qin Ji suddenly stopped her, "In the past few days, the city is going to investigate collaborators and spies from other countries. A group of people have been arrested at Huilin—Sarr People from China, you can figure it out, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"...did they say anything?"

"What should be said and what should not be said, they have said it all," Qin Ji sneered, then turned his head away, "In short, you can figure out your own way, I only allow you to get out of the relationship alone, if you want to connect with others If you protect me together, then I won’t save you again.”

Wuheya was silent.

After all...he still couldn't abandon his feelings.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, you should go to Xie Lingyan. If she hadn't been arraigned in person, this matter would have gone directly to His Majesty. You wouldn't be here to drink tea with me now. This is the last warning, Wuheya, I I don’t want you to have an accident, so this time I will help you. But this is Daxia, my country, and I don’t want to see Daxia’s interests being lost, and I don’t want to see my friends being dragged to the execution ground for public display.”

"I will remember."

Chapter 52 See you

In the past few days since the engagement ceremony ended, Xia Yuxiao felt that the court was much more harmonious.

In the past, these courtiers liked to play tricks at every turn.But since the engagement ceremony, the courtiers have restrained to a level that she can't believe.

After her order was issued, there has never been anyone who opposed her publicly in the past few days. Even if some ministers tried to object, their tone was much more gentle.

Grandma, after seeing the engagement of the emperor and the Taiwei, just be honest, right?

Xia Yuxiao expected these phenomena, after all, that's why she chose to get engaged.Daxia now needs sufficient efficiency and stability, and this status quo is exactly what she wants.

but......

Her gaze was on Qin Ji.

"Your body... can you spare some use, I'm afraid you won't be winded right away."

Xia Yuxiao is really not joking.

With Qin Ji's frivolous steps and exhausted appearance, no matter how you look at it, there is a feeling that he may die suddenly at any time.

"It's not that..."

It's true that Qin Ji didn't have a good rest, but that doesn't mean he's really in any danger. It's enough to meditate and circulate a few laps of spiritual energy.Anyway, his physical fitness is there, his recovery ability is far beyond ordinary people.

"I think it's very important that once you have a crown prince in the future, you can't be a guy who is born weak. This is also for the sake of the future political situation. If you can't speak up, I will persuade the person next to you."

When she said this, there was no extra expression on her face, as if she was very experienced in this.

"Farewell, it's useless."

If it worked, he wouldn't be so haggard.

"Go to the imperial doctor for treatment. I'll ask the imperial chef to get you something to replenish your body... By the way, you are the master, but you can't control your own guards?" Xia Yuxiao was very curious about this. ——How can this Qin Ji be so overwhelmed in this regard?

"Aha, don't everyone talk about the remnants of the Devil's Cult, people in the Devil's Cult are like this."

Qin Ji said so.

Xia Yuxiao nodded and did not continue to chat on this topic, but she also had a rough estimate in her mind.

It seems that the guy in front of him should not be very good at fighting, so it's easy to say, it probably won't be a big problem if he really gets married in the future.

Although she is not very old, she has received education in this area anyway, and, as the emperor, she actually doesn't care much about these matters between men and women.What she cared about was the impact on the situation. As for how Qin Ji was singing and dancing every night, she would not interfere too much - just don't make trouble for her.

"The wedding date has already been set, half a year later. By that time, basically everything in the country should be stable. According to i Tianshi Mansion, the wedding in half a year will be an auspicious day."

In fact, normally speaking, if a person of the emperor's level really wants to get married, it will basically take a year from the engagement to the official wedding. By then, it is obvious that Xia Yuxiao can't wait anymore. .As soon as possible, it will be as soon as possible.

"I think it's okay. Now that the battle is over, and those who should be rewarded have been rewarded, then we should start to deal with the remaining problems before I left as soon as possible."

The so-called legacy problems are actually those problems that were hindered after Qin Ji left because of the war.

For example, the education issue that Xia Yuxiao was promoting after he left.

There is also the issue of military cooperation between Daxia and the Weixi Empire. The Weixi Empire has already shared some of its equipment and related technologies with Daxia, and because a considerable number of generals such as Satellites went out to fight with Qin Ji before, the remaining Many of the talents who went to the Weixi Empire for further study did not play much role because it was temporarily inconvenient for large-scale reforms in the country after Qin Ji left.

And now that Qin Ji is back, Daxia's internal affairs can continue to be carried out.

"The Weixi Empire has delivered their weapons and equipment to us before, and they also provided some weapons developed by themselves. Of course, they did not come in through formal channels, but in the name of bulk trade. "

Xia Yuxiao said so.

When she said this, she went straight to her desk, took out the stack of official documents, and then pointed to a chair opposite the desk: "Sit down."

Qin Ji didn't refuse, and sat directly opposite Xia Yuxiao.

"The current situation is... Oh, by the way, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Let's have some together."

Looking at Qin Ji's appearance, Xia Yuxiao knew that she must have come to see her before she had breakfast, and it happened that she hadn't had time to eat.

It just so happened that the cook made breakfast, so it wasn't difficult to just make an extra serving.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the meal."

"In private, you don't need to be so particular. They are already engaged, so they should be a little different from ordinary monarchs and ministers." Xia Yuxiao said with a smile, "How about it, after the engagement is over, I will curry favor with you if I guess correctly. People should almost step through the threshold, right?"

"Thanks to Your Majesty's love, I spent the whole day socializing yesterday." Qin Ji smiled wryly, "For other courtiers, they naturally wouldn't openly confront you and me in this situation. As long as they are a little sensible person , basically won’t deal with us to the end.”

"This situation is exactly what I want. I have too many things to do next. If I can't hold them down, then no matter how many things I want to do, it won't help. By the way, the things that Consultant Cheng did before, Well done. He helped me test the bottom line of these gentry, and maybe we can make a fortune from these rich gentry in the future."

When Xia Yuxiao said this, she handed over a list to Qin Ji.

"This is?"

"Don't spread the list of supplies sent by the Weixi Empire. People who know about this in the court can count them on one hand. I don't know anything about military affairs. Take a look, how should these supplies be used?"

Qin Ji looked at the items in the material list.

I have to say that the Weixi Empire was quite sincere this time, and indeed sent some more reliable things.

"This magic crystal cannon is their old gadget. They installed it on a large scale a long time ago. However, even if we learn the spells it carries, the effect is not great. We have to reshape our country's power system, and the gains outweigh the losses. "

Qin Ji pointed to the artillery above.

Although people in this world are backward in technology, their thinking is not considered backward. They have already created this kind of magic crystal cannon, using the magic crystal as the source of power, to project spells remotely, and launch spells at the remote end. The effect is indeed very nice.

It's a pity that Daxia has never played magic since ancient times, so he can only learn from it, not copy it.

"what do you mean?"

"The concept can be used as a reference, but we need to let the domestic scholars and craftsmen explore the gadgets suitable for our use. Isn't the Tianshi Mansion also responsible for the development? Let them do this job well."

Although I don't know what the Heavenly Master's Mansion is for, I can't just fish there all day long. These cutting-edge things can still be made with their help.

Chapter 53 Monitoring

Apart from the peculiar cannon, what Qin Ji is most interested in is the full version of the hearth.

Qin Ji was very interested in this furnace heart when he first saw those full-body armors. It can drive soldiers to walk like flying in unusually thick armor. Even if the technology is not particularly mature, it is at least a promising thing in the future.

The soldiers of Daxia basically don't need those holy armors, and the armor of Daxia also has its own means of strengthening defense, but this furnace heart is a good thing.Now that it can drive heavy armor, it is possible to drive ships, and even behemoths.

This thing must be studied, and it must be done as soon as possible.

Daxia is very good at spells and formations. If used properly, then this thing is likely to become an important node for Daxia's strength to rise in the future.

"What does His Majesty think should be done with this batch of hearths?"

Qin Ji couldn't really take care of everything by himself, he still wanted Xia Yuxiao to have a sense of participation. He briefly explained the current application field of this thing, and then asked Xia Yuxiao back.

As an emperor, you don't need to know how to do this thing, but you should give a general direction.Otherwise, you just listen to what your subordinates say, so why do you need the emperor?

"One part is kept to test the application effect, and the other part is used for craftsmen to disassemble and imitate. After the imitation is mature, we will consider whether to conduct further research. I hope this thing can be put into military use in the next five years."

Xia Yuxiao pondered for a moment, then said.

She really doesn't understand these things, she doesn't know how to carpentry, but at least she can tell the carpenter what she wants.

As for the other equipment, they were not particularly attractive to Xia Yuxiao.

The main equipment in the West, the furnace heart and holy armor are the most attractive to Daxia. As for the staff that casts spells automatically... Daxia has its own talisman as the basis of spells, and it can also be completed in advance. The constructed spell release does not need to be cast automatically.

"Since I have such an idea, I think we can conduct research according to Your Majesty's wishes. In the future, I believe that Your Majesty will have a satisfactory result."

After roughly finishing the use of most of the materials in the list, breakfast was brought out.

Xia Yuxiao's breakfast is not luxurious. Compared with the delicacies of mountains and seas that many people imagine, her breakfast is a plate of small yellow croaker with rice and a glass of milk.

Since Xia Yuxiao came to power, she abolished the habit of sixteen-course meals for breakfast (in fact, the first emperor had also abolished it long ago, but the imperial chef would still prepare sixteen dishes for display), and changed it to " "Small Stove" mode, she will directly send someone to notify in advance what she wants to eat for breakfast, and in this process, from the notification to the cooking period, the chef will be in charge of supervision.

Xia Yuxiao does not have a big appetite, and she is not the so-called gourmet who is particularly picky, so every time she chooses some dishes that are common even in the folk, as for the money and ingredients saved , Most of them are used to support the operation of the nursing home (orphanage) in Tai'an City.

Looking at the food in front of him, Qin Ji was also hungry, so he put aside his work for the time being, picked up his own bowl of rice and started eating.
