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

Qin Ji said.

These are only benefits on the surface. In fact, the biggest benefit is that, at least from the outside world, after the marriage, a large amount of military power and other powers in Daxia belonged to the emperor (although in fact it was still held by Qin Ji himself), In the face of such a big summer, no matter who it is, I am afraid that it will have to weigh it.

Of course, the current Great Xia is also the same, but too many people see a gap between the Taiwei and His Majesty, and then try to provoke or break them one by one.Although most of their plans are unsuccessful, it is annoying for everyone to repeatedly make troubles.

"You are right. This marriage does have certain benefits. It is precisely because of this that I strongly hope to marry you, and it is also for the sake of this country."

"Your Majesty's heart, I understand."

"In this case, I might as well make it clear that the political significance of this marriage is greater than the so-called emotion. I believe you know it well. Regarding the previous marriage issue, although you and I have been in the same room. It has been heard outside, but after all you It's also the one that was framed, so I can't force it. If there is any intention to retreat now, there is still time to say it in advance."

Speaking of it, it seems that labor and management have not agreed...

Qin Ji was speechless, but Xia Yuxiao was right.

Political marriage, that's what it is, but everyone gets what they need. On this point, at least Xia Yuxiao is willing to explain it clearly to herself.

"Your Majesty, I only ask Your Majesty one question."

"speak."

"Does Your Majesty really urgently need such a marriage to stabilize the situation? If there is no marriage, can Your Majesty have an equally rapid and more effective way to achieve internal stability?"

"No. I have many ways to stabilize the country, but it is difficult to see great results in a short period of time. Except for one method-killing. But this is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. First, it is not conducive to our prestige, and second, it makes too many enemies. Stablize."

"I understand. If this is the case, then why can't we find a compromise?" Qin Ji smiled mysteriously, and then asked.

"A compromise? Do you have a plan?"

As a result, a "premeditated plan" began to operate quietly like this...

Chapter 66 Rumors

Lunar calendar 558, late autumn.

In the Central Empire of Great Xia, a rumor began to spread, whether it was true or not.

It is rumored that Emperor Xia Yuxiao welcomed King An Qin Ji into the former Harem Chunning Palace. Besides, after entering the Chunning Palace, the Queen Mother also personally met Qin Ji and had a good talk with him .

Soon, there were rumors that Qin Ji and His Majesty had entered and left the palace together, and had stayed overnight in His Majesty's palace.

For many people in Great Xia, although the emperor's matter could not be discussed openly and casually, it could not stop them from talking in private. For such rumors, they spread very quickly.

Not to mention those officials, for them, the most important thing is to have first-hand information from the central government. These ministers in Daxia already knew all about these rumors as soon as they spread to the common people.

In the following days, similar rumors fermented rapidly.Soon it floated out of Tai'an City, to the accompanying capital, and to the surrounding counties.

It is no exaggeration to say that the fermentation speed of this matter far exceeds what ordinary people think. The officials planned to confirm this matter with Xia Yuxiao, but the answer they received was "a bunch of nonsense"...

No one believes His Majesty's rebuttal, because no matter from the rumors among the people, or from the news that some officials spent money and contacts to inquire from the palace, there is no doubt that the information is true: the Queen Mother has indeed seen Taiwei, and Taiwei is indeed living in Chunning Palace now.

This doesn't even need to be verified at all, because it has long been public news that Qin Ji lived in Chunning Palace to work, and now many documents and military reports are being sent to Chunning Palace, which can explain the problem very well.

As a result, the ministers began to speculate about the relationship between His Majesty and Qin Ji.

When they carefully considered these things and connected all the previous things with what happened now, they found that this was enough to explain why His Majesty made Qin Ji the king at that time.

Except for the possibility of conferring a few people with outstanding achievements during the long-term battle, there is almost no operation of conferring foreign surnames on kings in Daxia. Even the first emperor did not confer foreign surnames on kings.

But before, His Majesty named Qin Ji king because of his meritorious service and his contribution to saving him.That's a rare thing.

Putting these rumors together now, it seems that this kind of behavior makes sense: from the very beginning, His Majesty and the Taiwei have developed an unusual relationship, and it is precisely because of this relationship, coupled with previous achievements, that Xia Yu Xiao will make him king.

Some people even suspect that the purpose of His Majesty's title of king is to be able to "be on good terms" with the Taiwei in the future-to prevent the Taiwei's status from being too much lower than himself.

This kind of information made everyone dumbfounded, which naturally explained why the Taiwei didn't go up and push when everyone was forcing the palace...

"Judging from the reactions of these officials, the rumor should have been very successful."

Qin Ji drank tea and lay leisurely on the recliner.

Those rumors are very true, not just rumors.Qin Ji can guarantee this.

But these rumors have concealed part of the real situation.For example, it didn't say what Lingyan broke into the Cihe Palace and His Majesty's bedroom that day.

The news is all true, but part of it is hidden.

From the current point of view, the initial effect has been achieved. For those ministers, the unclear relationship between himself and Xia Yuxiao will stimulate them to speed up their choices to a certain extent.Those who are still on the sidelines, most of them will now have to consider which side to stand on.

Of course, this is not the final step.

Qin Ji's compromise suggestion is not only a compromise for the outside world, but also a compromise for the relationship between the two.

At present, the public opinion should be raised first, and the relationship between the two people is still in an "ambiguous stage".

On the one hand, this kind of relationship can make some officials dare not act rashly, and it can also send an ambiguous signal to the outside world to inoculate these people in advance; They are all relatively equal ways of marriage, and it can be regarded as a "trial period" at the same time.

Since this method can solve the domestic chaos as soon as possible, it can naturally be done.But marriage is not a trivial matter after all, for both parties, it is a matter of a lifetime - whether it is Xia Yuxiao or Qin Ji himself, once the marriage is really done, it is difficult for anyone to get off halfway in the future.

This was originally a political marriage involving the situation in Great Xia. If someone really couldn't bear to separate in the future, it might have a counterproductive effect on the political situation in Great Xia.

tnnd, the evil imperial system is like this, the whole country revolves around the emperor, if something happens to the emperor's family, the country will follow in chaos.

Therefore, to put it bluntly, this trial stage is to send out ambiguous signals to the outside world.Internally, it is a compromise. How the two develop in the future depends on this stage.

In addition, Qin Ji also needs to buy time for himself - he needs to master the Chi Yuan Army as soon as possible.

He needs this kind of capital. Now he has the cards of more than 30 troops in his hand, and he also has Lingyan, the Taiwei faction in the court, etc. as support, but most of the Taiwei faction are officers, and those officers now have Many of them are young people, and they don't have much background yet.Among the civil servants, in fact, there are quite a lot of swingers.

For example, the old court lieutenant is a typical cunning type—rarely expresses any hostility to him openly, but he will not stand on his side, only when he really has the advantage of the right to speak, he will run out a bubble.

This kind of person seems to be clean, but he is a difficult type, because he might bite you at any time.

Qin Ji's purpose is to further grasp more power - if the two parties really reach a consensus to marry in the future, then he must be a "husband" attached to the royal family in terms of identity. It brings more convenience, but it is also easy for an inattentive person to become a victim of the royal family.

Take a look at those son-in-laws of Great Xia. Marrying a princess does lead a life of rich clothes and fine food, but they have no power in their hands, and they have to respect their wives respectfully and respectfully every day, without any freedom.Humble to the extreme.

To put it bluntly, being crossed and demolished bridges is common, especially, his marriage partner is not a princess, but a real emperor.

That's the person who, for the sake of power and political influence, can be cruel enough to kill his own younger brother with his own hands—the younger brother who was born to the same mother and took care of him since he was a child.

And from Qin Ji's previous memories, Qin Ji knew that Xia Yuxiao's imperial disposition was more than that. If the things she had done were placed in her original era, it would be unimaginable.

Qin Ji couldn't guarantee that he would not become a victim of politics.He does have his own ambitions, but before that, he must firmly hold the initiative in his own hands, life-saving is the first priority, and then his own ambitions.

After all, this era does not yet have the soil for the advanced thoughts of his own world. If he blindly transfers the ideas of his own world, he will die very quickly, and it will hardly have much effect.

but......

Of course, internal fighting cannot be ignored, but now, he has to do some work as a captain——

He set his sights on Daxia's western neighbors.

Chapter 67 I'm going to ask His Majesty for money again

Daxi Kingdom, this is the name of Daxia.

Of course, this is because the land area of ​​this country was relatively large among its western neighbors back then, and it was located to the west of Daxia. At that time, Daxia didn't know much about it, so it was directly called Daxiguo.

Now everyone knows that this country is called "Saiweitan", but Daxia has been used to calling it for so many years, so it has been called that.And Daxi Kingdom does not call Daxia Daxia, but calls Daxia "Qianer Country" - the envoys of Daxi Kingdom who first came into contact with Xia Kingdom learned the pronunciation of "Xia", and went back to the King of Daxi Kingdom to return their orders At that time, because the pronunciation of "xia" was not found in the mother tongue, the tongue did not turn around.

In addition to the long journey, I have forgotten the pronunciation, so when I mentioned Daxia to the king, I directly said that the country was called "Qi'er Country", which made the king very puzzled, why the name of this neighboring country was so similar A girl's name...

Since then, Daxi Kingdom has called Daxia "Qian Country", and "Qian Country" has also called Sai Weitan "Daxi Country". But this kind of title has been circulated among the people and the government for hundreds of years, and they have long been used to it. In the end, the two sides can only keep the previous title.

The reason why Qin Ji, the spokesman for Daxia's military, looked towards the western border was not because he wanted to fight Daxi.

The relationship between Daxia and Daxi Kingdom has always been friendly. Although Daxi Kingdom has a vast territory (much smaller than Daxia, but it is considered relatively large among the surrounding allies), the domestic population is small and there is not much arable land , has been able to develop relatively well, largely because of the frequent trade between Daxi Kingdom and Daxia, and transporting Daxia's goods to other regions to earn profits.

This is even more so in the military. Daxi Kingdom relies heavily on Daxia's security protection, so it is very respectful to Daxia.

However, the good days of Atlantis were broken not long ago.

The power of the church is constantly expanding eastward, and it has now spread to the Atlantis Kingdom—before that, the Atlantis Kingdom had long been influenced by Daxia's culture, and the country also had its own cultural beliefs, and its culture had always been relatively independent.

However, now, the envoy who had been in charge of communicating with Daxia before has sent news that a group of believers of the Holy Bishop have appeared in the territory of Daxi Kingdom, and they spread the teachings of the Holy Bishop in the name of businessmen while doing business.And since these strange people appeared in the country, there have been more and more attacks in the territory of Atlantis.

Onishi as a whole is still relatively open, and even some foreign races can come to Atlantis, but since the appearance of those believers, visitors from foreign races have often been attacked, and many people in Atlantis have begun to believe in the Holy Bishop.

Even, large-scale groups that believe in the Holy Bishop began to appear in various places, which caused the entire Atlantis country to enter a very tense state.

Such news immediately attracted Qin Ji's attention.

In fact, there are many countries around Daxia that believe in holy bishops. Originally, Daxia's attitude towards them was not to actively interfere, but now it seems that there is obviously a problem with this idea.

The Holy Bishop has already infiltrated Daxia, let alone Daxi Kingdom.And it seems that the Holy Bishop not only wants to preach, but also hopes to cause turmoil in Atlantis, and even hopes to cause the current regime of Atlantis to perish...

To be honest, Daxi Kingdom has no resources that are particularly worth seizing, and there is no place worthy of their attack. The reason why it has been infiltrated and disrupted is that it has a good relationship with Daxia, and it is One of Daxia's trade routes.

The west side of Daxia is sparsely populated, and basically caravans come in and out. If it can penetrate into the western border of Daxia, whether Daxia fights or not, it will not be worth the loss. At the same time, there is a high probability that Daxi Kingdom will It can strangle Daxia's trade output to the west.

This is pinching Da Xia's neck.

Qin Ji came to this conclusion.

However, to put it bluntly, it is the affairs of Daxi Kingdom’s own family to preach and stir up troubles, unless Daxi Kingdom expressly expresses its position and hopes that Daxi Kingdom can intervene in it-although Daxi Kingdom Friendly with Daxia, but not a vassal of Daxia, Daxia does not have the right to interfere in the internal affairs of another country.

But... Judging by Daxi Kingdom's reaction, sooner or later they will ask Daxia for help. Before that, it is always no problem to plan ahead.

By the way, in the north of Daxi Kingdom, a country that has also been influenced by the Holy Bishop, Qin Ji has also wanted to unplug it for a long time.

Samanjan, a traditional country where agriculture and animal husbandry coexist, this country has frequently invaded the territory of other countries before, and a considerable part of its high-level members are now members of the church. Although the country is small, it is no exaggeration to say that this place has become the Holy Lord A complete ecclesiastical state for the Church.

This time, we can find an opportunity to eradicate the traitor Samanjan (Samanjan was once a vassal state of Daxia), and in this way, facing the Saar Dynasty in the northwest, Daxia will have more sufficient strategic maneuvering space.

Thinking of this, Qin Ji focused on the country of Samanjan.
