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

"I remember that your country seems to be working on this kind of air ship project." Qin Ji said beside him, "Honorable Emperor Fei Te, has your country's research and development not progressed yet?"

"That's not true, the progress is still quite big," said King Fei Te with a wry smile, "It's just that our plan to develop airships has been known by the Church, and I want to continue to promote the plan, but the Church does not allow it. This matter In fact, they have no intention of making concessions at all, so I have no choice but to temporarily slow down the speed of research and development."

After all, the Weixi Empire was not strong enough to fight against a group of neighboring countries and churches in the west, so Emperor Feite had to suspend the progress of the research and development to ease the conflict between the two sides a little.

"Your Excellency, your country's research and development capabilities are actually far superior to ours. You see, our country's current talent is not enough. It is said that the speed of research and development is advancing by leaps and bounds, but these people are really usable. If your country needs help in this regard If so, we Daxia can provide your country with a research and development site."

Looking at the emperor's bitter face, Xia Yuxiao naturally knew what was on his mind.

To be honest, even with the current strength of the Weixi Empire, its air force has reduced the dimensionality of most neighboring countries, but the training cycle of Griffin Knights and Dragon Knights is too long and they are very rare. As much as can be cultivated, one will die in a war, and one less will be lost. It is difficult to replenish.

He wanted to promote the research and development of airships, but his environment was really not suitable for this.

That bitter gourd face was obviously just for her to see, to let her give some convenience in this regard.

Now that the other party said so, Xia Yuxiao followed suit.

"Really? But, to develop an airship—oh, that's what we call it here. It's a big project. If it's developed in your country, it needs a lot of space and a lot of manpower. In addition, you need Give the green light in the sky... After all, we can't hit the people, right."

"All of these can be handled. I don't necessarily have to do anything else in Daxia. There are still a lot of places and people. As long as you solve the funding problem here, our country is waiting for you at any time."

Xia Yuxiao didn't care about such a request.

At any rate, it can be regarded as a country that has developed aerial battleships. Even if it has not been completed, at least Xia Yuxiao knows the general requirements for the development of this thing. The Weixi Empire can definitely meet the requirements of this thing.

Great Xia's air battleship will definitely not be the only one in the future. The Weixi Empire's research and development policy must be very different from its own, and it must be mixed with a lot of their own technology.In addition, since it is to develop the largest project in a country, of course there will be a large number of talents in related fields.If there are a hundred talents, Da Xia can retain two or three, that's not a loss.

"It seems that I came here in the right way this time. When communicating with your country, there will always be some unexpected surprises." Emperor Fei Te laughed. For him, developing his own things in other countries will bring the other party Of course he knows the benefits of going, but he has to seize this opportunity - the church will not provide him with a place for research, and if he does not do it around his own country, he may be given to him by spies before he finishes it. broken.

Between the two countries, each takes what it needs.

"Qin Ji, this involves the affairs of our Daxia army. After you go back today, please estimate what resources will be used for this kind of cooperation. If you need to use the resources of the Daxia army, you can decide at your own discretion; if it involves the court For resources and help, you can just ask me to explain.”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qin Ji agreed.

These days, I have been discussing cooperation and transactions between the two countries in various fields with Emperor Fei Te, so that Qin Ji even forgot that the name of this emperor is for him and Xia Yuxiao to congratulate him—to tell a joke Well, when the great emperor came, he brought a whole set of mechanical clocks produced by the Weixi Empire, which were extremely exquisite, but after so many days after he delivered this wedding gift, Qin Ji and Xia Yuxiao were so busy with their work Kung fu to see...

Gee.

To be honest, it is more fun to make a crown prince with His Majesty.

Chapter 92 A Gift for the Princess

The visit of Feite the Great was very fruitful.

At the farewell banquet on the last day, the monarchs and ministers of the two countries gathered together. Xia Yuxiao specially arranged for the imperial chef to imitate the cuisine of the Weixi Empire to cook some Weixi Empire flavors. Of course, the main meals are still from Daxia’s own country Mainly meals.

"Qin Taiwei, I have been taken care of these days."

Emperor Fei Te walked up to Qin Ji, and then raised his wine glass.

"Where, where, His Majesty Fei Te, you have come to our country from a long distance, so you should be treated as a guest. What's more, the friendship between the two countries will definitely become a good story in the future. I also hope that this good story can be icing on the cake .”

Qin Ji respectfully returned the other party.

During the visit of Emperor Fei Te this time, Qin Ji, as a minister, occupied the main task of communicating with Emperor Fei Te.Although Xia Yuxiao's identity is placed here, theoretically it is most appropriate for her to entertain her, but many things involved in communicating with the other party are related to the military field, and Qin Ji basically cannot avoid it every time. Emperor Shangfei Te is also a man, and there are still some common topics between them.

Therefore, sometimes when Xia Yuxiao had some important tasks to put on hold, Qin Ji would be in charge of entertaining and taking Emperor Fei Te to play.

"Your Majesty is indeed a rare monarch in this world." The emperor held a wine glass and looked at Xia Yuxiao quietly through the transparent liquid, "Qin Taiwei, you know very well that your Majesty the Emperor There's a lot of ambition."

"It is really gratifying for me, a subject, to hear the praise of your Majesty from your mouth." Qin Ji said politely as usual, "However, the same is true for you, Your Majesty. In your environment, if you want to change everything It’s not easy to plan well.”

For the history of the Weixi Empire, Qin Ji still has a little understanding. It can be said that during the period since Emperor Fei Te came to the throne, although he was not as pressured by domestic internal affairs as Xia Yuxiao, he was also in the Take the risk.Although all the emperors of the Weixi Empire tried to free themselves from the shackles of the church, they all failed without exception, or at least suffered mutual losses with the church.

However, Emperor Feite is currently cutting off the roots of the church little by little with a blunt knife.First, in domestic church schools, "the emperor is the person chosen by the will of the Lord" was promoted, and it was very delicately separated from the traditional concept of "the emperor's power is bestowed by the Lord", and then the secular power was gradually ideologically placed on the same level as the teaching authority.At the same time, on the surface, it caters to the church and runs a religious school, but in the process of religious teaching, it encourages debates and discussions...

All of these are weakening the orthodox influence of the church, and after many years of careful planning by Emperor Feite, it began to really move.

"Everything I have fought for comes from those ordinary people in our Weixi Empire." Emperor Fei Te smiled and shook his head, "In the final analysis, Qin Taiwei, the reason why I am able to secure the throne now without being taught Overthrow, the most important reason is that the citizens of the Weixi Empire are willing to accept me as emperor. When they can tolerate my existence amidst the criticism of the church, I can sit firmly in this position."

"And His Majesty the Emperor of your country seems to be looking for such a direction, but, Qin Taiwei, your Great Xia is not the same as our country, and it is not the church that hinders you—after observing these days, I think the church To Great Xia, it is just an ordinary foreign enemy, it may be difficult to deal with, but it is definitely not impossible to deal with."

"It is your level between the emperor and the common people that hinders Daxia's progress. That is, the gentry in those places. Your emperor is very aware of this problem. She once told me that those 'local snakes' It is the biggest moth in Daxia."

"Qin Taiwei, for her, you are an insurance for her ruling. As long as you are here, she can let go and do what she wants to do. To be honest, I also envy your Majesty the Emperor, she has A courtier like you is here as insurance, and she is willing to trust someone like you."

When Emperor Fei Te said this, Qin Ji could clearly feel that he was really envious.

The Weixi Empire was supported by such an emperor, but Emperor Feite was also an individual. He had capable ministers in his court, but he had no one who could stand with him and be able to act alone.For him, sometimes, there may be a courtier like Qin Ji, which is a very worry-free thing.

Of course, Qin Ji didn't have the nerve to say it - if he hadn't occupied the original owner's body at the beginning, I'm afraid Qin Ji would really have developed into a treacherous minister trying to usurp the government and seek rebellion.

In the final analysis, Emperor Fei Te is a powerful person, but no matter how powerful he is, he can only find his own answer from what he sees. After a few days of contact with Daxia and reading some history of the previous Daxia, What can be proved?Qin Ji himself did not dare to assert that the Weixi Empire was what he knew.Regarding the power struggle within Great Xia, Emperor Fei Te was basically correct, but he did see a little less about the character "Qin Ji".

He dared to conclude that if a person like himself really appeared under Emperor Fei Te, then he would definitely not choose to hand over power to the other party with confidence.The emperor is not a good person, the decisiveness of his strikes proved that he can do things like all birds and bows.

After all, the kings of a country are essentially the same.

"Your Majesty trusts me a lot. You are right. I also have trust and loyalty to Your Majesty. Otherwise, we would not be together."

Continuing with the superficial politeness.

"Yeah, if it weren't for the close relationship between the two of you, I actually hoped that you would come to my side. I lack a minister who can hold the scene here, and I originally planned to reserve a place for you."

"With such an important position, Your Majesty should leave this opportunity to the young talents of your country. There are many talents in your country, and there will be many people who can take my place."

Le, he did a good job as the executive deputy emperor in Daxia, why did he go to a foreign country?On the outside, I have no party affiliation, no background, and no military power. Isn’t this a sheep in the mouth of a tiger? Even if Emperor Feite treats me well, the other ministers will never allow a person who can suppress them in the court. of.

"By the way, Qin Taiwei, before I leave, I want to make a request with you."

"Please tell me." Qin Ji didn't answer whether he would agree to the request, but just asked the other party to continue talking.

"One of my little daughters is very interested in your story and admires you very much. If possible, I would like to ask for some small gifts for the little girl, which can be regarded as an explanation to my child."

"It is my honor that Her Royal Highness loves me very much."

Qin Ji thought for a while.

The little princess who maintained the empire, as he remembered, was only ten years old. Girls at this age usually like something more beautiful or cute.

But, considering this little princess adores herself...

In the external records, Qin Ji himself is almost all records of military exploits and supporting the country, and there is nothing romantic at all. The little princess can still be admired, which means that the style of gifts that the other party likes may be different.

Qin Ji pondered for a moment, and took off the decorative dagger from his waist:

"The little princess loves it so much, I am deeply honored, so I will send this item to His Highness, and keep it as a thought."

Chapter 1 Night Events

When the real exchanges between the two countries began, the countries around Daxia also had to start thinking about their next direction.

There is no border between the Weixi Empire and Daxia, and there are even several countries between the two countries. However, after the two countries strengthened their exchanges, all the countries along the route were somewhat trembling.

It's a very simple reason - there is an army between these two countries, a group of knights, a tour group, and a caravan.

Although the neighboring countries have earned a lot of fees for these people to pass by, they are all worried about the overall status quo—you said how can these two countries, which are completely separated and have completely different system beliefs, be able to get along with each other? ?

They don't understand, so they are scared.

Daxi Kingdom and the current Samanjan expressed their calmness about this. Anyway, the two countries are now within the influence of Daxia, and it is enough to make money with peace of mind, but it is difficult for countries further away.

On the one hand, it is wooed by the church, and on the other hand, it is sandwiched between the main communication line between Daxia and Weixi Empire. It is impossible for you to say that they are not afraid. Even if they really don’t care, they are not afraid of Weixi Empire and Xia Kingdom. Suddenly going crazy and attacking himself, but can the church really watch them let the two countries communicate?

Therefore, many countries have thought for a long time and made a decision-to communicate with the two countries.

In order to appease these countries in the middle, Xia Yuxiao specially arranged for Prime Minister Long to invite envoys from these countries in Sihai Pavilion, and expressed Da Xia's attitude.It has been repeatedly stated that the Xia Kingdom will not do anything against other countries to infringe the interests of other countries, as long as it does not involve interference in Daxia's internal affairs, everything can be discussed.

At the same time, Prime Minister Long also wished to invite neighboring countries to participate in the formal development of trade routes, and hoped that countries could formulate a relatively reasonable entry-exit customs process.

In fact, if you simply say that you will not infringe the interests of other countries, these countries will never believe it. These days, there are many countries that swear by it, but it does not affect this group of people to continue to infringe other countries.

But after Prime Minister Long put forward relevant suggestions on the Guanwen process, the countries couldn't help but believe in Xia Guo's sincerity.

At least it doesn't look like it's being played.

It is worth noting that this time, Xia Yuxiao rarely let Qin Ji participate in it.

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

In the bedroom, spring is surging.

After going through the nighttime activities that Xia Yuxiao couldn't help crying, the figures under the lights gradually subsided while trembling.

Outside the bedroom was Song Jingqing's helpless expression.

"What's the matter? It's been so long, you haven't gotten used to it yet?"

Beside Song Jingqing, a cold voice sounded.

Song Jingqing turned her head and saw that familiar face.

"The Ling Commander is in great spirits. Your young master is having fun with His Majesty, yet you still have the heart to tease me?" Song Jingqing said with a smile.

Facing the other party's words, Lingyan did not respond, and she did not intend to entangle too much with the chief envoy of the dragon guard.Instead, she leaned over directly and put her ear on the door.

"Eavesdropping on affairs in the bedroom is a capital offense."

Song Jingqing sounded a reminder.

"Family affairs, you can't manage."

Lingyan didn't care about her reminder, anyway, there was nothing wrong with what she said - it was indeed a family matter.

It was really hard for Song Jingqing to understand the temperament of the woman in front of her. Generally speaking, under such circumstances, Lingyan should be disgusted or even unwilling to mention such things, but now Lingyan doesn't feel that way at all.

Even...she seems to be laughing?

"Hey, do you think your Majesty is supreme?"

Lingyan suddenly asked this question.

"Naturally."

"Then you say, the current His Majesty is supreme?" Lingyan asked.

"This... This is His Majesty's private matter. In public, His Majesty is supreme. In private, His Majesty is also a human being."

Song Jingqing could only answer in this way.

Otherwise, if you ask her to say that His Majesty, who is now taking the shock softly, is supreme... a little bit without confidence.
