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

Chapter 89 wedding dress

For Daxia, it is very common for emperors of all dynasties to receive visits to foreign Yuan capitals. After all, Daxia's own influence is there.

However, in the face of an imperial-level head of state like Emperor Feite, it is still rare to be able to directly contact the emperor.For a long time, when communicating with a country of the size of the Weixi Empire at the head of state, it is usually to send envoys there.On the one hand, this is for the safety of the emperor, and on the other hand, it is also considering the issue of diplomatic etiquette.

After all, he is an emperor and I am also an emperor. If the two emperors meet, any details that are not in place may damage the image of the country.So it's better to send envoys directly, even if there is a little problem, it won't hurt.

Only this time, Emperor Fei Te came to congratulate the emperor and the Taiwei in person. Facing the kindness of the other party, and Xia Yuxiao had already received extremely high-profile hospitality in the Weixi Empire before (although there was an incident on the way Such a bad thing as an attempted assassination), it is impossible for Xia Yuxiao to put on airs.

When seeing Emperor Fei Te, Xia Yuxiao took Qin Ji to welcome him very enthusiastically. Obviously, Emperor Fei Te came here this time with sincerity, as if to emphasize that those paladins, behind him, were wearing silver saints. Armored paladins are majestic.

"Your Majesty, Taiwei, since the last time we parted, I have never stopped missing you two. I saw you again today, but I didn't expect you to marry the Taiwei. This is really your country. Double happiness."

"Where is it? I'm sorry. Since I came to the throne, the emperor has worked hard for the country and the people. He is really the pillar of the country and my share. It would be a pity if such a talent is taken advantage of by others."

The two emperors were talking with a smile, and while they were talking, they had already arrived in the Four Seas Pavilion.

The so-called Sihai Pavilion is a newly built palace after Xia Yuxiao ascended the throne. The main purpose here is to entertain foreign envoys or heads of state. It is about the affairs between Daxia's subordinate countries and various tribes, but with the increasingly frequent exchanges between Daxia and the outside world, Xia Yuxiao realized that it is impossible to deal with foreign affairs with the idea of ​​"everyone in the world is a subject". business.

Therefore, the official system of Dianke was simply turned into an official position in charge of all external affairs, which belonged to the prime minister. At the same time, he followed Qin Ji's suggestion and established a special "Sihai Pavilion" to handle all external affairs and formulate diplomatic policies. .

The three sat upright in the main hall of Sihai Pavilion, surrounded by officials from Daxia and envoys from the Weixi Empire.

"This time, I came here to celebrate the wedding of Emperor Daxia and the Taiwei, and to make people happy. On the other hand, it was also to show the friendship between the Weixi Empire and Daxia. Discuss with your country the recent cooperation matters mentioned with your country, if this visit can achieve results, it will be a good thing for the people of the two countries."

Emperor Fei Te seemed to be looking forward to this exchange very much. After all, for him, the current Great Xia was at least reliable enough in terms of background.

Before being tough with the church, the north was able to stabilize its defense and demonstrated the ability to influence the surrounding situation. Such friends are worth making—even if they really have no spare power to help themselves in the future, at least blocking guns is enough to put it harshly.

"I have read the corresponding official documents submitted to me by your envoys. If possible, I also hope to establish corresponding cooperation with your country. The exchanges between the two countries have initially achieved results, and there are not too many folks for the time being. However, the cooperation between the courts of the two countries has achieved a lot of results. I think these projects are still very good, but the details still need more communication between the personnel of the two countries."

When Xia Yuxiao said this, it was actually tantamount to saying that they could continue to cooperate.As long as the other party can offer a reasonable price and benefits, the cooperation will naturally come naturally.

Saar, Borderlands.

When Wuheya took the king's order from her hand, the expression on her face was very complicated.

After retreating from those cities in Daxia, the news that the border troops did not receive food and grass support from the royal court, and even the most basic soldiers to maintain the follow-up occupation was quickly stabbed to the royal court.

Wuheya's retreat actually made the Wang Ting people very angry at the beginning. After all, after Wuheya occupied many cities in Daxia at the beginning, it was also a glorious record for the Wang Ting—— In the royal family, Wuheya may be excluded and suppressed, but she is still a member of the Wuhe family anyway, and her victory will naturally give the family more say.

However, what the people in the royal court did not expect was that just when the royal family declared how powerful the royal family was, Wuheya withdrew.

This made the royal family feel angry immediately. After all, all the talk about labor and management was blown out, but you Wuheya retreated at the speed of light with a backhand. This work made the royal family lose all face.

Originally, Brother Ban wanted to beat her for this reason. The Wang Zhao was half written, but there was a news that made the officials in the royal court buzz:

The people on the border rumored that the reason why Uheya failed in the battle and retreated was because the royal court did not give food, grass, armaments and soldiers at all, and it was completely because the border troops fought without logistics.

As soon as this folk news came out, Wang Ting immediately panicked.

After all, although there is no turmoil at the border, and Wuheya is honestly not doing anything now, and folk speculation will not affect her, but the folk guesses are correct, the royal court did not provide any logistics .Wuheya had written to Wang Ting to ask for supplies before launching an attack, but Wang Ting had never thought that she would win at the time, so due to some "accidental negligence", the supplies were delayed, and so far they have only left More than half the distance.

Who would have thought that Wuheya could capture the enemy's city so quickly? !

If Wuheya had lost from the very beginning, then Wang Ting could completely blame Wuheya, the incompetent person in charge.However, they took down several of the enemy's cities with great force at the beginning, but in the end they were forced to retreat because of the delay in sending supplies from your rear, which would be fatal.

Once this kind of folk rumors are really allowed to spread, it will be a big problem.

Therefore, Ban Ge quickly tore up the imperial edict that he originally planned to hold accountable, and quickly wrote a reward order, and promised to deliver a certain amount of food and grass to the border troops to encourage them to continue to maintain their fighting spirit.

Wuheya received such a royal order.

Looking at this royal order, on the one hand, she felt a little ridiculous because she was discriminated against by the royal court, and on the other hand, Wu Heya laughed because of Ban Ge's brain.

Now that the matter has been exposed because of not distributing food, grass and armaments before, don’t deliberately make a public remedy. At this time, the remedy will only make her, the "discriminated border princess", even more regrettable, and it will be harmful to the hearts and minds of the people on the border. It would also be a blow to morale.

It's like making her a wedding dress.

Chapter 90 Lost Dog

For Wuheya, the current situation is becoming more and more favorable to her. Ban Ge is now losing the foundation laid by her father at the beginning, and she, as a royal family that has grown steadily in the border area, has already established a strong foundation in the border area. Gained a certain amount of power and power to speak.

Once the supplies sent by Wang Ting arrived, other families would naturally choose to believe in themselves after seeing this situation—after all, she was the one who could get the supplies from Wang Ting, who had almost nothing to do with the frontier.

It's just that the next operation requires money to update.The border area is not a particularly rich area. Due to the long-term war, the life of the people here is not very stable. In this case, it is impossible to rely solely on the legal oil and water in the border area and the salary of the royal family. accumulating strength.

Therefore, Wuheya decided to take a risk and engage in an operation that may be common in border areas, but once discovered is very dangerous——

smuggling.

Since the confrontation at the border, the communication between the border of the Saar Dynasty and Daxia has almost stagnated. The people who originally needed to trade with Daxia on a regular basis in exchange for daily necessities and tools are now prohibited from buying goods from Daxia to prevent "funding" enemy".

This also led to the poor life of the local people during this period, because most of the people on the border rely on trading with Daxia in exchange for food, grass and living materials. The impact of life is very large.

In Wuheya's view, this is a big deal.If you want to stand on the border, you must have the hearts of the people, and the most basic condition for having the hearts of the people is to have "people".

The people were suffering so much that they all packed up and left the border area and ran north, so how could she ensure that she could get the stable support of the people on the border?

Therefore, after thinking about it, Wuheya decided to join forces with those noble families to carry out large-scale smuggling.

Originally, these families were unwilling to take risks. They knew very well the danger of getting involved in this kind of thing. However, when they saw that Wuheya had obtained some exquisite information through communicating with the people on the border of Daxia. When it comes to clothing, cloth, and ironware, they are really greedy.

The value of these things is not low in the territory of Thrall, and they also hope to rely on this to continue their family's life.

Now Wuheya, by letting a few of her trustworthy men go to communicate with some local snakes in the border area, to act as the middleman of the entire smuggling, so as to make the whole chain prosperous, she has become the "smuggling godmother" of the border area .

It’s just that Wuheya herself is very clear that her current achievements are mainly because Daxia turned a blind eye to smuggling—in order to ensure that she can develop steadily and steadily, Qin Ji specifically told her to do so. The generals of the border garrison did not conduct in-depth investigations into smuggling.

Everything is going so smoothly, and everything is going according to plan. It seems that she has nothing to worry about. Now she just needs to stay here, and then use the benefits at hand to make the major families willing to provide for herself. More support would suffice.

How happy it would be if there was no news of Qin Ji's marriage to that emperor.

"Xia Yuxiao...you little fox..."

Having just finished training in the army, Wuheya went back to her room and lay on her stomach, gritting her teeth viciously.

To be honest, she didn't know exactly what kind of feelings she had for Qin Ji, but at least, it was definitely much deeper than ordinary friends.When she received the news that the two were getting married, although she had expected this to happen, she still couldn't hold back after learning about it.

How should I put it, I feel like my favorite toy has been snatched away.

It's too painful, all because she has no strength.

If she is also an emperor and holds the power of life and death, then there are still people who would dare to rob her! ?joke!

"your Highness......"

"I'm resting, what's the matter?"

Hearing the guard's voice from outside the door, Wuheya suppressed her unhappiness and asked.

"There are guests outside who want to see you. They say they have something important to discuss with you."

The guard said respectfully.

"I'm too tired today, I'm not in the mood to see guests for now, please come back tomorrow."

Wuheya said weakly.If it was really an important guest, then the other party would not have visited so suddenly.After all, she is also the princess of a country, if the other party really has status, then they will not barge into her door for no reason and ask to see her.

"His Royal Highness, this person said that he is a member of the Holy Church."

Hearing what the guard said, Wuheya suddenly felt relieved, and countless possibilities flashed through her mind.

Then, she quickly thought about what the Holy Bishop's Church was going to do.

As far as the current Holy Bishops are concerned, they do not want Daxia to develop smoothly, and since they have not been able to take advantage of other countries around Daxia, then of course they hope to be able to take advantage of the geographical relationship. The next Saar Dynasty.

After all, as a country surrounding Great Xia, the Saar Dynasty still has strength, and considering the protracted war and hostility between the two countries, it seems that the Saar Dynasty is better to do things internally.

It should have been like this, and the church at that time did send people to lobby, and then they encountered a very embarrassing situation——

The Saar dynasty not only rejected Bactria, it also rejected the church.

The church's collusion had no results at all, and the arrogance of the Saar people made it impossible for them to accept the church's superior rhetoric.

In this way, the church chose to meet her this time, probably because it planned to directly attack her.In the eyes of outsiders, Wuheya opposed the Saar royal court. In this case, she must need help at this time. It is a good plan for the church to start with her and help her sit on the throne and become a bridgehead against Daxia.

"Go back and tell them the church, I, Wuheya, will never allow any behaviors that destroy the Royal Court of Saar and provoke my relationship with Brother Wang. Since Brother Wang didn't want to contact the church at the beginning, I will naturally follow Brother Wang's wishes. In no way has anything to do with the church."

She spoke very righteously.

After all, she is also worried that the church does not teach martial arts. If she speaks inappropriately and is sold out by these guys, there is no place to cry.

The guard delivered the message according to what he said, and at this time, Wuheya also spread out the paper, and wrote a letter to Qin Ji on it.

On the one hand, to celebrate Qin Ji's marriage, and on the other hand, to report the current situation.By the way, I also asked how far the relationship between these two people has progressed—is it a marriage that only stays on the surface, or has already done everything that should be done...

Woohoo, I feel like a loser.

Chapter 91 Visit New Gadgets

When receiving Wuheya's letter, Qin Ji was already visiting Tianji Division with Xia Yuxiao and Emperor Fei Te.

As a department under the jurisdiction of the Tianshi Mansion, all affairs in the Tianji Division should have been kept strictly confidential. It is not something other people can touch casually.

But this time, Xia Yuxiao chose to make an exception and let Emperor Fei Te come to visit.

Without him, Emperor Fei Te gave too many surprises when he came this time.

The cooperation on the communication towers has been finalized. In this negotiation, Daxia has the right to control and use all the communication towers in the territory of Daxia. The Weixi Empire will pass on the technology related to the towers to Daxia and guide the construction.

The price Daxia paid was to exempt the Weixi Empire from the employment fees required for construction.In other words, Daxia needs to independently invest in the construction of these towers.After the high tower is built, when the Weixi Empire needs to use the high tower, if its interests in using the high tower do not conflict with Daxia, then Daxia should provide the Weixi Empire with the information transmission service of the tower—of course, the whole process It is still controlled by Da Xia.

It seemed that the imperial court had lost a large amount of employment money that could be earned, which seemed to be a small loss, but Qin Ji, Prime Minister Long and Xia Yuxiao all agreed with such a transaction.

The current Great Xia has reached a peak in its internal military system, and if it wants to continue to strengthen the imperial team, it must increase the size of the domestic army on a large scale.However, even though Xia Yuxiao is not good at commanding battles, as an emperor, she can clearly understand the fact that as the technology of a big country is constantly being updated, simply relying on troop size and morale to fight can no longer meet the needs of the battlefield. up.

Xia Kingdom's traditional military is mainly based on formations, which can make Daxia's troops more and more ferocious. With such formations, even ordinary soldiers can completely deal with Xuan Xuan as long as they follow the formations. Or the magician of the empire can even make the army formation resist magic.But there are also shortcomings in this way-if it is a narrow battlefield and there is a shortage of troops, its combat effectiveness will be weakened on a large scale.

Therefore, it is imminent to upgrade the weaponry technology of the army.

Now, the fact that the Weixi Empire can make such a concession is actually because they also need Daxia to continue to be a stable partner and attract the attention of the church.

After all, as long as there is Great Xia in the east, it will be difficult for the church to devote all its energy to a Weixi Empire that opposes the church.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Weixi Empire, what you see now is the airship we are working on. We have entered the construction stage, and you may be able to see our air force soon."

The celestial master introduced in front of him proudly introduced.

"You... have already figured out this thing?"

Emperor Fei Te's face twitched a little.
