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

"It's not interesting, it's just ridiculous. A family that was very clear about the actual power of retaining military power, now can't think of the tricks of this so-called big profit business. When the patriarch sees it, he will be disheartened."

Wuheya didn't say what was tricky in it, but even if the Saar people were not as good at playing tricks and politics as the Daxia people, the patriarch of his Tuoheer family should still see clearly that this is not a profound strategy.

If Qin Ji knew about this strategy, he would soon think of a joke in his own world.

The joke about exchanging a knife for a watch.

And it turns out that the patriarch of Toheer is not unaware of the tricks.

Because he didn't say anything, just looked at Wuheya silently.

"You are very clear, Patriarch Chahe, so I will not tell you those useless riddles. Let me be clear, my brother, he will not allow a former 'traitor family' to continue to maintain its strength Yes. It's not nice to use your words, but it's the truth."

"So, the Toheer family should be very clear about what fate they will face. With all due respect, my elder brother is boiling a pot of water right now, and you are the frogs in the water. The water is still mild now, but Do you really think that this pot of water will not scald the frogs to death in it?"

She looked at a piece of mutton with an attractive color on the knife, bit off the mutton and put it into her mouth.

"However, Your Royal Highness, you have nothing, no money, no army, no fief, and no loyal subordinates. The Toheer family has other options if they want to find a way to survive. We don't have to go the hardest way. the way to go."

Chahe patriarch said.

"Hahahaha, what you said is what you said," Wuheya laughed a few times, and the hearty laughter finally gave this girl who was incompatible with the children of the grassland a bit of wildness, "However, for me As far as I'm concerned, I don't care what path you choose, it has nothing to do with me. Well, I'm just telling you my thoughts, as to whether you want to choose the path I suggested, that's up to you to make your own decisions."

"Then what do you think?"

"As long as I have your army, then I have the ability to ensure that I am invincible. At least, the border area will be firmly in my hands-this is just the worst outcome. If you are not at ease, you don't need to It is the same to directly give me the direct command of the army, and you can personally execute according to my requirements. In this way, the army is still in your hands."

Wu Heya said with a smile.

"Where does your confidence come from?"

"From the frontier, Chief Chaga."

Wu Heya said in a low voice.

The royal court's control over the border is actually not strong. Their own system cannot achieve high-efficiency information transmission and troop mobilization, nor can they guarantee the royal court's control over the armies across the country. Therefore, the royal court's hand It's relatively dull at the border.Even the previous harassment of Great Xia was actually just an order from the royal court, and the troops on the border just acted according to circumstances.

Such a power vacuum naturally gave Wuheya a chance to intervene.The reason why the royal court dared to put her in such a place naturally had such a factor: they knew that the royal family's control in the border area was not strong enough, so even if Wuheya, who has the status of a royal princess, ran to the border, she wanted to manipulate the army. However, those border families would not be willing to transfer the army to her to command.

It's a pity that they overlooked one point - precisely because the royal family's control over the border is not strong enough, this place will instead become a wonderful development space for the powerless Uheya.

Chapter 11 Asazuna

Frontier...Uheya's identity...confidence...

Patriarch Chahe connected these together, and he felt a chill in his heart:

"Your Highness, do you want to..."

"The border is full of dangers, and here is unstable. Once there is a conflict, there will be no peace. However, danger is also a place where opportunities can arise. This is a dangerous transaction, but is Toheer willing to do such a dangerous transaction?" As for the attractive deal, I don’t know about it, it’s up to you to make your own decisions.”

"I heard before that you have a good relationship with that captain of Daxia..." the Chahe patriarch said in a low voice.He was afraid that outsiders might overhear their conversation.

"It doesn't have much to do with our relationship. Compared to our relationship, that guy puts his own country's interests first, so for me, I can't trust him completely in this regard. "

Wuheya is very clear about what she is doing. To put it nicely... well, basically there is no nice way to describe it. This kind of collusion with neighboring countries to rebel against their own country and seek power for themselves His behavior is a real traitorous behavior.

However, Wuheya couldn't wait.I can't wait any longer.

Living in Daxia this time made her feel the horror of the changes of the times. In the current Daxia, even in the case of a war with a scale of [-] troops, the country can still operate as usual, which is already very scary. up.

If the Saar people continue to immerse themselves in the martial arts of their ancestors, sooner or later they will be woken up alive from their dreams.

However, from the perspective of a friend, she trusts Qin Ji; but from the perspective of the country, she dare not trust Qin Ji blindly.That guy won't be against her, she can be sure of that, but if she has any thoughts about her country, that's not necessarily the case.

Resources can be used as soon as they are available. As for what to do afterwards, that is after taking power.

"I hope you can remember your words today. So, if you 'come back triumphantly,' how will you treat your friends?"

It's not easy to explain directly, but the conditions must always be discussed.

"If you're asking about after the event is over, then I can tell you that I will be short of competent people to govern the country at that time. The Toheer family should not mind helping me. As for the beforehand... "

Wuheya looked into the other party's eyes, and always paid attention to the other party's reaction: "Of course I am not the kind of person who is empty-handed. The Tuoheer family helped me with the border troops, so I will naturally give you my sincerity. However, we don’t need to worry now, it’s still early. Someone will communicate with you later, and discuss with you about the big gift for you.”

She wasn't going to let the other party follow her right away, this kind of thing was a big gamble, to be honest, if she was sitting in that position, she would have to think about it.You cannot immediately ask the other party to obey.

Ah, I really miss the days when I had nothing to do fishing in Daxia.

"Your Royal Highness, you are so sure about what you will do after your success, but since my Tuoheer family really has the ability to assist you in success, we will be self-reliant long ago." The patriarch obviously said this to Wuheya. The exact tone made me a little uncomfortable.After all, Wuheya was still young after all, and she belonged to a daughter's family. No matter how polite the Chahe patriarch was to the royal family, he couldn't help but want to say something like this when the other party said such words.

The implication is that if you help me, you can make things happen, so wouldn't it be better for me to do this position myself?

"You're right, the Tohel family is indeed strong enough, that's why I hope to cooperate with you. However, based on your words alone, it's still a bit short of success."

"a little?"

"To be precise, even if you really succeed, it's nothing more than a member of the royal family. You don't really intend to take that seat yourself, do you?"

At this time, Wuheya must go back. Many people in Thrall are relatively straightforward, so she must explain it to him.

These people obviously cannot ascend to that position. The reason why only the Xia family can sit on the throne in Daxia is because the royal family surnamed Xia has been extremely orthodox for thousands of years, but the reason why the Wuhe family can sit on the throne in the Saar Dynasty it's not true.

To be honest, the Saar Dynasty did not follow orthodox thinking much. Whoever can sit on it and sit firmly will own the throne.But the royal family has now ruled the five kings of the Saar dynasty, suppressing other families by force and the strength of the royal family.

If Tuoheer really killed the royal family, he would definitely not be able to sit in this position if he took the position, because after the royal family could not suppress other families, they would inevitably covet the throne, and Toheer would be dragged down soon.

"Your Royal Highness, you are too worried. We are only thinking about the future of the country. I am afraid that it will be difficult for you to become king."

Facing the other party's impolite answer, Wuheya looked straight into his eyes, and then smiled:

"I understand. I hope you will not modify this sentence in the future. Oh, by the way, let me tell you that your family plans to continue selling the property that you have sold. I am a little interested. If possible, we can meet and discuss it when we have time. Check out the price."

.............................

Daxia, the palace.

For today's court meeting, Qin Ji specially slept well in advance to ensure that he was in a good state of mind when he went to court.

He is a loyal minister who is worried about state affairs, not to mention that some people doubted his physical condition before, so naturally he has to go to court today to prove his physical condition.

Sure enough, when they saw him going to the court, many officials came to ask him about his health. Although they planned to visit before, but Qin Ji was not sick, and he resumed work the next day. These ministers didn't even have time to visit him.

Qin Ji also said a few words politely, telling them that he was in good health and there was nothing to worry about.

With the start of the court meeting, the ministers stopped chatting with each other one after another, stood in the hall to salute Xia Yuxiao, and then began to enter the discussion session.

Today, General Tie came forward and proposed the land reclamation policy of the border guards. To put it bluntly, let the border guards use the spring time to cooperate with the local people to reclaim wasteland during the border guards, and use it to increase arable land or plant vegetables and fruit trees.Part of the reclaimed arable land is distributed to local farmers according to the number of people, and part is planted by the army to meet the needs of the army.

In fact, this policy has appeared as early as 200 years ago, but most of them were implemented to alleviate the needs of the frontline, and there is no unified implementation method. Many soldiers in the army are not locals, and they do not understand the local geographical conditions. , The harvest of the things planted is also average.

Therefore, after Xia Yuxiao came to power, she has been working on formulating a complete set of border development system. On the one hand, she strives not to cause an excessive burden on the local people, and on the other hand, it can save military expenditures and develop border towns.

Therefore, after discussing this policy for a period of time at the super meeting, most of the people are willing to implement such a policy.

But the next thing to discuss is not that simple.

"Everyone, after a while, it will be my big wedding day. Before my big wedding, I hope to make a corresponding court plan with you."

Empress marriages are very rare in Great Xia. Although the empire has experience of empresses ruling, there are really no formal marriages like Xia Yuxiao after ruling.

Therefore, after marriage, Xia Yuxiao and Qin Ji's identities and etiquette issues need to be considered, and it is impossible to really give empress Qin Ji etiquette.

Chapter 12 Court Assembly

"Your Majesty, I suggest that since Your Majesty has decided to hold a wedding, it is natural to imitate the ancestral system. However, since there is no precedent for Your Majesty's situation in the ancestral system, I believe that after the wedding, it is not possible to imitate the empress's ceremony. Captain."

Regarding the marriage, the opinions given by the ministers are still objective. After all, if they really get married in the future, they cannot treat Qin Ji completely according to the etiquette of treating the queen.The emperor's gift is not applicable.

"In this case, a new etiquette law must be introduced to deal with this situation. I suggest that the Zongzheng Mansion and the Fengchang Mansion be responsible for this matter, and draw up a policy that can be recognized. Only in this way can the domestic order be stabilized. "

Wang Yushi said.

This matter cannot be settled casually, because after all, Qin Ji is still a man. If the etiquette and laws are not carefully considered, it is easy for the emperor's etiquette to overlap with Qin Ji's etiquette, thereby allowing Qin Ji to influence To the prestige of imperial power.

This idea is actually not aimed at Qin Ji, but only from the perspective of the country.

Therefore, this matter cannot be decided casually. It must be handled by Zongzheng and Fengchang together to solve the problem of etiquette.

For the matter of etiquette, it is still necessary to arrange a full-time etiquette department.

"Qin Ji, what do you think?"

Xia Yuxiao looked at Qin Ji and asked.

"I also agree with this matter. Etiquette is the foundation of a country. Besides, if strict etiquette is not implemented, I am afraid that unnecessary disasters will be caused in the future."

In this regard, Qin Ji has nothing to refute. The matter of etiquette does not directly affect the strength of power.Of course, if you follow the etiquette system, you will be relatively more orthodox, but if it really comes to the time when you need to compete with Xia Yuxiao for who is orthodox... then it is time for a complete break. Everything, etiquette is nothing but decoration.

"Since this is the case, then arrange for Xia Zongzheng and Fengchang Mansion to formulate a new etiquette together. It must be properly arranged."

"Yes, I will make arrangements now," Zong Zheng said immediately.

"In addition, we have recently observed that the Saar Dynasty is increasing its troops to the border, and now, Karashige has become their main area of ​​defense. With our pressure, I believe the other side will definitely be in Kara Shige competed with us."

The Saar people must fight for the land of Kalashige.Because of the unique climatic conditions and abundant water resources here, Kelashige has become a rare good place for herdsmen to live and graze.

Whether it is the Suolqin tribe or the Saar dynasty, Kara Shige has always been a fertile land that the forces in the north covet, so the Suolqin tribe will be very grateful for the land that was granted to them at the beginning. Shige's Daxia has a great affection.

And the previous operation that allowed the Saar Dynasty to cut off the Kara Shige really hit the Saar people in their hearts. As the new king, since Bango wants to control the power of the dynasty, he has no reason to let it go anyway. Kara Shige doesn't care.

If the stalemate between the Great Xia and the Saar Dynasty really breaks down, then there is a high probability that Karashig will be the focus of the conflict.Ever since Daxia's troops began to threaten the Thrar people to withdraw from Karashige, Bango's desire for Kalashige has soared to the point of losing his mind.

"Your Majesty," General Bai stood up, his voice was not loud above the court, but everyone was listening carefully to his words, "In my opinion, we should try to avoid direct contact in the Kalashige area. conflict."

"What's the reason?"

"Although we do guarantee the control of the Suolqin tribe in the Kalashage area, the terrain here is flat. Although there are rivers and hills, it is mainly grassland, and there is no suitable terrain for us. Saar Human cavalry is more mobile than our army on such terrain, considering the results of the war, I do not recommend direct conflicts in the Kalashage area."

"However, what if the enemy takes the initiative to provoke? At least we can't break our promise to the Solqin tribe casually. Otherwise, other countries will not dare to trust our credibility easily in the future."

Xia Yuxiao said.

"Your Majesty's concern is indeed justified, so what I mean is that we cannot start a direct conflict in the Kalashige area, but it does not mean that we have to back down. The conflict in Kalashige can be caused by the Solqin tribe. And what we have done is to attract the Thralls to shift the battlefield."

If the Suolqin tribe wanted Kalashige, they had to assume the responsibility of facing the Saar people diplomatically, and the main export was still to rely on the troops of Daxia.

No way, no matter how powerful Suolqin is, his size is still only a tribe, and it is nothing compared to a kingdom.

So he can't be the main attacker in the follow-up war, and the main output depends on Daxia.

Let the Solqin tribe and the Saar people tear their faces apart, and then the troops of Daxia will appear and formally deal with the Saar people.Of course, this is the worst possible outcome.

"You and the Taiwei should discuss this matter carefully, and if you have a clear plan, please let me know in time."
