Chapter 14: Two Countries and One Capital (I)

Zong Zheng rubbed the empress for a while, and when he saw that he had improved slightly, he got up and walked to the door, and asked the soldiers at the door to bring a few pieces of ginger and let the empress place them above her navel.

The empress asked him to turn around and not peek, and the empress untied the double phoenix jade belt, put the ginger slices on her navel, put down her clothes to cover it, and tied the jade belt.

After a while, he noticed that his abdomen was no longer so painful, and made Zongzheng turn around.

"I have long heard that Zongzheng has a nameless surname, a strange war strategy, to cure locusts for the Tang Dynasty, and to eliminate the plague in the Liao country, I have seen it today, ginger slices can also relieve abdominal pain, let's talk about state affairs." Don't talk nonsense!" the Empress pressed the jade belt with her right hand to prevent the ginger slices from falling off her navel.

Zong Zheng looked at the empress with a smile, "The empress still knows how to talk about state affairs? In front of your civil and military officials, let me promise to bow down and pay tribute every year, but I am also the king of a country, how can I agree to the empress's conditions on that occasion? For the sake of you, I can only put on a cynical appearance." ”

"How do you know to rub my abdomen to relieve the pain, and how do you know that ginger slices are effective when put on my navel?" the Empress lay on the table.

"Why do you have abdominal pain, you are a woman, you should know better than me, I just rub your abdomen to increase calories, the matter of ginger slices, in our time, this is just the simplest method. Zong Zheng walked over to the empress.

Always asked and looked at Zong Zheng with a sideways face, "You still have the face to say, if you weren't above the court, your words teased me, as for fighting with you!"

"I ......" Zong Zheng didn't finish speaking, and was interrupted by the empress.

"Don't be me, I am the kings of a country, and now there are no outsiders, you and I can be commensurate. ”

Somasa touched the empress's blonde hair, and the empress pushed away Somasa's hand with her left hand.

"Don't do anything, do you call yourself a minister!" the empress squinted at Zongzheng.

Zong Zheng put his hands behind his back and turned his back to the empress, "What good is it for you to be a minister?

The empress sat up slowly, looked at Zongzheng's clothes under her chair, and then looked at Zongzheng.

"If you are vassals, our northern Mongolian state, the eastern Qin state, and the western Yan state will all look down on our country, and the international status will be improved.

Zong Zheng turned to the empress and said, "I will cure the locust plague for the Tang Kingdom in the east of the Zongzheng Empire, and the 600,000 army will be defeated by me to eliminate the plague for the Liao State in the west, and you will not go around one by one in the north, and the three countries of Qi, Chu and Han in the south will only be half of the territory of the original Jin State, so what are you afraid of? If it weren't for your million-strong army pressing the border, I would have attacked the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Han long ago." ”

The empress slowly stood up and pointed at Zongzheng with her finger, "Are you called a minister or not?

Zong Zheng grabbed the empress's index finger and put the empress's hand down.

"Thieves don't go empty! Lend me 500,000 soldiers and horses, and I will give you the original territory of Korea, which will be regarded as a bride price for you, and forget about being a vassal! Do you think it's okay? If you make a promise to yourself, it will be even better!"

The empress didn't look at Zongzheng with good eyes, "You are doing it every day, but there are two, if it is really as you said, give me the original Korean territory, then your Zongzheng Empire's capital Bai Yi City will not become a city on the border of the Jin Kingdom, are you stupid, you are teasing me again." ”

Somasa picked up the broken rope on the ground and played with it in his hand.

"This is not something you should consider, that is, can it be done, can you borrow 500,000 soldiers and horses?"

"Borrowing chickens to lay eggs! Great! Yes, I used these 500,000 soldiers and horses to attack the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Han, right? The combined territory of these three countries is larger than the original South Korea, you are sure to make a profit and not lose money, when you borrowed Yan Thunderbolt's troops to gain a foothold, borrowed the Tang and Shu coalition forces to defeat the Han army of 300,000, borrowed Lian Po's 300,000 Zhao army to enrich your strength, borrowed the Shu army to take the territory of the Jin State, and borrowed Yelu Zhongyi's handwriting to subdue his 200,000 army, you use the word 'borrow' so well!" The empress gently hit Zongzheng's chest with her fist.

Zong Zheng smiled: "That's not self-made. How can you live if you don't borrow? Haha, you still borrow chickens to lay eggs, if you want to marry me, that is to have a child. ”

The empress sat on a chair, her chin in her hands, and looked at Jongjeong, "When will you hand over the territory of Korea to us?"

"I will arrange for my Prime Minister Han Sai to arrange the handover in Bai Yi City, do you dare to go to our country alone to complete this matter? I will take 500,000 Jin troops to go first. Zong Zheng took a chair and sat opposite the empress, also dragging his chin with his hands.

"I will send Marshal Xiahou Min to lead 500,000 soldiers and horses, under your command, until I take the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Han, but we must first give us the territory of the original Korea. The Empress felt that her stomach was no longer aching, and took out the ginger slices.

Zong Zheng stood up, "Tomorrow I will return to Dubai Yi City and wait for your arrival, so it is decided! I don't know your name yet, my beloved wife, the queen of the Zongzheng Empire." ”

"I love your sister, and I love my wife, my name is Nasha. Empress Nasha replied to Somasa.

"What, what? Ask your name, and hide it. Jongseong frowned and looked at Empress Nasha.

Empress Nasha grinned as she dragged her cheek with her right hand.

"Illiterate, you are simply reincarnated with laughter. It's Nasha, graceful Na, damn it, you've taken it badly, it's ...... Forget it, I'll write it for you. ”

Zong Zheng looked at the empress's writing posture, and the more he looked at it, the more obsessed he became.

"It's Nasha!

Empress Nasha put down her pen, "Wonderful, you have a surname, no name, isn't it wonderful, and you speak strangely, what is your era?

"Okay, okay, I was wrong! No, let's go to sleep!" said Somasa as he walked to open the door.

"Someone, send Emperor Zongzheng back to his room to rest, and we will send him out of the city together tomorrow!" Nasha also walked to the door and asked the soldiers to send Zongzheng away.

"Yes!" the two soldiers left with Zongzheng.

"I can't sleep at night and come to me!" Jong Zheng turned his head and shouted from Nasha.

After watching Soseong leave, Nasha also returned to her dormitory.

In the morning, Zongzheng was sleeping in Zhengxiang when he was woken up by a knock on the door. Hurriedly put on your clothes and open the door.

Seeing Nasha with some officials, she asked, "Good morning, Empress!"

"Okay, you're big, you don't have anything to sleep into!Hurry up, the carriage is ready at the door, now we're going to send you out of the city, and we'll have to go to the morning pilgrimage in a while!" Nasha crossed her hands on her abdomen.

"Come back after you go to the morning court, I'll sleep again!" Zong Zheng turned around, and was suddenly grabbed by Nasha's back collar and dragged to the gate, Zong Zheng broke away from Nasha's hand and tidied up the collar.

"I'm not awake yet, and I haven't eaten breakfast, I'm hungry!"

"Get out of the car and go to sleep! Well, I'll make you breakfast, put it in the car, get in the car and eat." I also made some pastries and ate them when I woke up on the way. Nasha gestured for the soldiers to throw Somasa on the car.

Zong Zheng, who was in the car, was confused, touching the porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork ribs for breakfast was still hot, and the buns exuded the aroma of meat.

Zong Zheng stuck his head out of the car, "Your Majesty, I'...... I thank you again, when will Marshal Xiahou Min's 500,000 soldiers and horses be lent to me?"

Nasha rode side by side with Zongzheng's carriage in her phoenix chariot, and Nasha replied on the phoenix chariot, "Last night, I wrote a holy decree to let Xiahou Min on the border with 500,000 soldiers and horses join you Lian Po and Wanyan Thunderbolt soldiers." The remaining 500,000 soldiers and horses have been transferred back to China, and in a few days I will arrange the affairs of the DPRK and China, and then go to Bai Yi City to find you, and by the way, I will arrange the original Korean land on the way to accept the soldiers and horses, and after you return to Bai Yi City, arrange this matter and write a holy decree to pass it on to the defenders of the original Korean land. ”

"Okay! honey, come early!" Zong Zheng finished drinking Nasha's porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork ribs, it was really delicious, the porridge was very sticky, it should have been boiled for a long time, and he took another bite of the meat bun, the filling was big and thin, chewing slowly, it seemed to be tenderloin, and it was a little hot, and there was soup in the filling.

"Love your sister! Be careful when you speak! Like an idiot, by the way, I will call you an idiot in the future, Zongzheng is just a surname, and you don't have a name, so it's awkward. Nasha looked at Somasa's carriage.

"It's delicious! When I come to Bai Yi City in a few days, I'll cook more food. Zongzheng said to Nasha through the window of his carriage.

"I can't stop your mouth from eating, why don't you say that I will stay in Bai Yi City for the rest of my life!" Nasha also looked through the window of her phoenix and watched Zongzheng eat with a mouth full of oil.

"Then it's settled!Let's stay for the rest of my life!" replied Zongzheng as he ate.

"Okay, let's go to Bai Yi City in a few days and talk nonsense. I'll send you here, and we'll go back to the morning court." Before I knew it, I had walked out of the city, and there were some officials behind the carriage.

"Idiot, see you in Bai Yicheng!" At this time, Zongzheng and Nasha both got out of the carriage and began to say goodbye.

"Idiot, you're giving you a special nickname, so I'll call you fleshy from now on, hehe. Somasa looked at Nasha's chest.

Nasha looked at herself with Zongzheng's eyes, stretched out her right hand and hit Zongzheng in the face, Zongzheng quickly dodged, and then ran to the car, telling the groom to run quickly, and the angry Nasha stomped her feet.

"Flesh, I'm waiting for you!" Somasa shouted at Nasha with his head out.

"Stinky idiot!" Nasha looked at the carriage that Zongzheng had gone away and walked back to Yijiao City with hundreds of civil and military officials.

When Zongzheng was about to reach the border, he saw a group of his own soldiers waiting for him, stopped the carriage, and Wanyan Thunderbolt and Lian Po and a man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, dark skin and the armor of the marshal of the Jin Kingdom came over.

"See Your Majesty!" the three men bowed to Zongzheng next to Zongzheng's carriage.

"This is Marshal Xiahou Min of the Jin Kingdom, right?" Zong Zheng asked Xiahou Min.

"Back to Your Majesty, it is here, a few days ago, the Empress sent a holy decree, asking me to obey your orders in everything. Xiahou Min said.

"Then I let you submit to my Zongzheng Empire, is it okay?" Zongzheng deliberately teased Xiahou Min.

"This ......" Xiahou Min lowered his head and slurred.

"Okay, I'm teasing you, the three of you will directly lead the troops to attack the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Han, Wanyan Thunderbolt will lead 300,000 soldiers and horses to attack Qi, Lian Po will lead 300,000 to attack Chu, and Marshal Xiahou Min will lead 500,000 troops to attack Han, whoever of you will take down the country first, I will have a heavy reward, go!" Zongzheng said in the carriage, eating the pastries made by Nasha by the way.

"Obey!" Xiahou Min finished speaking and led the troops and left.

"What do you two mean?" Zong Zheng looked at Wan Yan and Lian Po and looked at him directly.

"The old minister is fortunate to have fought hard to defeat South Korea, and now he has given it to the Jin State, so that the national capital Bai Yicheng has become the border of the Jin State, Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?" Lian Po looked at Zong Zheng.

"The old minister doesn't think this is like what His Majesty did!" Wanyan Thunderbolt felt aggrieved by giving the original Korean land to the Jin Kingdom.

"Wanyan Thunderbolt, why are you joining in the fun, you have said that this is diplomacy, have you seen when I have made a loss-making transaction? The three kingdoms of Qi, Chu and Han combined are larger than twice the territory of South Korea, how can I use a small Korean land to resolve the crisis of a million army pressing the border, and there are 500,000 vain troops, how can it make you unhappy. The Zongzheng Empire looked at Yan Yan with a thunderbolt.

"Let's go, the holy order is difficult, who let the empress of the Jin Kingdom hook away the soul of our majesty, in fact, our future queen is also quite righteous, send 500,000 soldiers and horses to your majesty to expand the territory, maybe the future Jin country will be our majesty's, hurry up and lead the troops to attack Qi and Chu." Lian Po whispered to Wan Yan Thunderbolt, and motioned for Wan Yan Thunderbolt and the two of them to leave quickly.

"Oh, you two iron lumps......" Before Zongzheng finished speaking, Lian Po and Wanyan Thunderbolt ran away.

When Zongzheng arrived in Bai Yi City, it was already noon, and he summoned hundreds of civil and military officials to the court.

"In these days when I am away, do you have something to do?" Zong Zheng changed into a dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, the plague of Liao has been eliminated, and a special envoy has been here for many days, and I want to thank Your Majesty in person. Prime Minister Han Saicong stood up among the civil and military officials.

"Come in, messenger. Is there anything else?" asked Zongzheng continued.

At this time, one of the hundred officials stood up and said, "Back to your majesty, there is a drought in the territory of the former Song Kingdom, and I hope Your Majesty will provide relief." ”

"Lu Yue listened to the order, you are responsible for the jurisdiction of all the grain in the Zongzheng Empire, allocate some grain to the disaster area, and Zhao Congjun is responsible for the distribution of this batch of grain, if someone embezzles and withholds the disaster grain, Zhao Congjun will know how to deal with it, next year the seeds of the people in the territory of the former Song Kingdom will be responsible for the state, and the grain will be responsible until the autumn harvest is completed. Zong Zheng sat on the dragon chair and talked about the method of disaster relief.

"The Minister's Order!" Lu Yue and Zhao Congjun replied in unison.

"The minister still has something to play, the marshal of the Jin Kingdom, Xiahou Min, took your holy will and went straight to the Han Kingdom, and the minister is afraid that he will occupy the city of our country at any time. The official who had just reported the drought continued.

"Who are you, and where are you in office?" asked the official.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is called Lin Gong, and the official residence is stationed in the Ministry of Etiquette of the Four Grades, and is responsible for recording or etiquette in various countries. The forester replied.

"A person from the Ministry of Rites knows how to tell me about the drought, you are looking at you, Zhao Congjun usually has no time to punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he doesn't know about his hometown, don't you know? I hate the kind of official attitude that does not seek merit, but seeks no fault, Zhao Congjun punishes hundreds of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, that is, hundreds of positions, why can the country still operate normally? None of the civil, military, and military officials of the three kingdoms of Jin, Zhao and Han have been abolished, because of you, there is a long-term peace and stability of this great suzerainty empire, and now there are three people in one official position, don't you have a sense of crisis?

"Zhao Congjun, what is the biggest vacant official position in the Ministry of Rites?" Zong Zheng asked Zhao Congjun.

"Back to Your Majesty, it is the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, there were three Ministry of Rites Shangshu who were in power at the same time, forming a party for personal gain, and encroaching on the fields for their own property, the evidence is ironclad, but to arrest them desperately and stubbornly, it was only with the help of General Lu Hua's soldiers and horses that he took it. Zhao Congjun replied.

"It's really habitual! Didn't I say it on the day I ascended the throne! The land belongs to the state, and I thought that the land could be privately owned, so cut it off! Lin Gong, I named you the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and in a few days the empress of the Jin Kingdom will come to Baiyi City, so the customs and etiquette of the Jin Kingdom are all arranged for me, and no mistakes are allowed, and you are responsible for going to foreign countries in the future, or if there are envoys coming to our country, do you hear?" After Zongzheng finished speaking, Lin Gong hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty Xie! The minister will never give up! Don't worry!"

"Okay! Lin Gong will manage the Ministry of Rites in the future, don't worry about other things, you go and settle the envoys of the Liao State first, and then see them when the affairs of the Empress of the Lin State are dealt with." After Zongzheng finished speaking, he let the retreat from the dynasty, and the forest workers went to arrange the affairs of the envoy of the Liao State.

After another half a month, when Zong Zheng was in the early court, he just sat on the dragon chair and saw Nasha of His Royal Highness.

"Lin Gong, when did the Empress arrive?"

"Back to Your Majesty, when I arrived at the ugly time last night, I saw Her Majesty the Empress and them coming from afar, so I let them rest without informing Your Majesty. The forester bowed his head.

The empress walked up the stairs and walked to Zong Zheng's side, "I came with a hundred civil and military officials, didn't you say that I should stay in Bai Yi City for a lifetime? In the future, our two countries will be one capital, and we will share a Jinluan Palace, but it took me a lot of effort to convince the civil and military officials!"

"What! Two countries have one capital, sharing one Jinluan Palace?" Zong Zheng stood up from the dragon chair in fright.
