A large number of people came to the temple of the gods, and although it was already midnight, the person who came was the queen, and the high priest had to dress up and go out to greet him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Why is the Queen here so late... Of course, the high priest could not tell the queen not to come, and his face was full of smiles: "As soon as the queen arrives, she will come to worship, and her piety will definitely move the gods." ”

"Of course, thank you to the gods for all the peace in Ekash." Although Cheng Qianxun was also very tired, she still came over, and brought the ministers who were waiting for her to come back in the palace. She went into the temple and told the maid to place the tribute on the clay table.

Watch the queen respectfully bring her ministers over and bow down according to etiquette. After kneeling, the high priest was about to send it with a smile, but unexpectedly, several maids came in with cushions and wool.

"What is this?" The high priest was stunned.

"You've worked hard, go back and rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow if you have something." Cheng Qianxun sent the minister away, and turned to the high priest and said, "I often dream of the gods after I sleep, please ask the high priest to accompany me to pray today." Of course, you don't need to stand, sit first, and if you can't dream of standing next time. ”

If the king comes, he needs to pray, and he needs to accompany him. Usually they also have to stand and pretend to be a ghost, and the king will stand as long as he prays.

Watching the queen lie down, covered with several thick pieces of sheepskin. And the maid next to him asked him to sit next to the tribute platform, and he could only sit down with a bitter face.

The queen is not there, and everyone can't be the master for the time being, so he was two days late, and forced the chancellor to give money, and the chancellor knew that the queen was not easy to mess with, so he grabbed a money bag and didn't dare to give it. The high priest called someone to go to the palace at night to urge him, as if he would be retributed by the gods if he did not give money.

Cheng Qianxun lay down and slept comfortably, but she was tired, and she fell asleep on the pillow. And the high priest sat beside him, and he did not dare to lie down, but sat there and dozed off.

The day finally dawned, Cheng Qianxun opened his eyes, and saw the high priest sitting on the mat, his body arched forward slightly, rushing forward from time to time, fortunately, there was enough meat on the fat belly to support it.

She secretly laughed and yawned profusely as she got up. Turning his head to look again, the high priest still did not wake up.

The maid who was changing shifts next to her and was on duty couldn't help laughing when she saw it. Cheng Qianxun motioned for her to wake up, the maid went over, first coughed, the high priest was still a pile of meat like a Maitreya Buddha, but he didn't expect to be able to fall asleep like this, snoring, his mouth trembling with the exhaled airflow.

Cheng Qianxun held back a smile at the corner of his mouth and motioned to shout again. The maid then stood up straight and shouted, "Put on the basin, the queen is going to wash!" ”

shouted, the high priest was still asleep, really sleeping.

The maid was helpless, so she could only push with her hands: "Hey, hey, high priest, high priest." ”

"Ahh The high priest woke up, quickly wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and chirped a few times: "Hehe, the queen is awake." ”

Cheng Qianxun had already begun to stretch out his hand, put his hand into the basin of water to wash his face, and after his face got wet, he took the cloth from the hand of the maid next to him and wiped his face: "Did you sleep well?" ”

"Sleep well ... Oh, no, no, I'm also looking for a chance to meet the gods in my dreams. The high priest smiled sheepishly.

"No wonder I can't see the gods, I thought it must be you who didn't pray properly, it turns out that the gods have seen you." Cheng Qianxun stood up: "Since the gods see you going, then ask me in the future, who should I choose as a man." Okay, you've prayed enough, I should go back too, no need to send it. You've worked hard, go sleep. ”

This should be heard, if you dare to give the queen unhappiness, just wait for yourself to be unhappy. The high priest grovelled and escorted her out of the temple.

Returning to the palace, the minister was already waiting for the early dynasty in the main hall.

"I've kept you waiting, I just went to the temple to pray for blessings." Cheng Qianxun walked to the mat and sat down, and raised his hand to the Chancellor of the Exchequer: "You did a good job this time, I originally wanted to send you to build a house outside the city for the merchants who came to live." For the sake of you, you have controlled my money this time and won't let you take it. ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Queen, don't give me any more apportionment, my family's money is almost all for food." If I were asked to repair the house again, I would have to pick up my own house. ”

It is not easy to raise so much grain, and it is also thanks to the trade here, and a large amount of grain is transported, but it also has to be bought with money. Cheng Qianxun smiled secretly, and turned to the recorder to order: "Report it." ”

Ekash's taxes are not yet up for the time to be declared, but from the current point of view, it is definitely more than the previous one, and the problem discussed this time is that there are abducted slaves sent in.

"How can you tell the difference between abduction?" Cheng Qianxun asked.

Ragasi, who was involved in the government, replied: "All slaves have a word burned on the back of their shoulders, and they are all burned at about two years old." For some abducted people, the words on the back may be very new, not old wounds. ”

"That's simple, there is no market and no buying and selling." Cheng Qianxun smiled contemptuously: "Ekash's taxes are not obtained by selling people. ”

The old minister said: "You can't do without the slave trade, and many people will buy a few and leave with goods if they don't have enough people." If it is banned, it will also be traded privately, not only will it not be broken, but there will be no taxes. ”

"Then compromise!" This is a semi-slavery, semi-feudal complex type, some things cannot be relied on wishful thinking, reason is the best policy. After thinking for a moment, she raised her hand and asked the recorder to take notes: "From this day onwards, no child under the age of ten will be allowed to buy or sell in Ekash, and if found, the trafficker and the buyer will be punished together and fined ten times the amount together." Anyone who has been trafficked can seek help from soldiers and officials, and Ekash has the obligation to put an end to the problem of human trafficking. Those who dare to abduct and sell human beings and knowingly commit crimes shall be punished... ”

Children over the age of 10 can speak even if they are late in their understanding, and it is difficult for children who are too young to find a way to get help from traffickers.

Then how to punish it, Cheng Qianxun looked at the officials sitting below: "Tell me, what punishment will be imposed?" ”

So the ministers came up with ideas one after another, and some advocated heavy punishments, and they were immediately cut down if they were caught; Some advocate a lenient and 20 times the fine, and no further entry into Ekash.

Cheng Qianxun suddenly had an idea: "Otherwise, if anyone who confirms the abduction will be punished as a slave, and the abducted family will be given priority to buy at half price, how about it?" ”

The old minister, whose dilapidated home had been repaired by two rooms, immediately supported: "Good, wonderful! ”

He stared at him, old and strong, and his voice was loud: "In this case, who would dare to be a kidnapper?" ”

"That's too severe, isn't it?" Some ministers muttered.

Cheng Qianxun sneered and leaned on the mat: "If your children or family members are abducted as slaves, do you still think it's too heavy?" After being caught, they were cheapened by a thousand cuts. Write it like this, and when you finish it, you go to the city and announce it, and it is posted at the gate, and it will be implemented from today. I'm going to make Ekashh clean and less dirty! ”

Cool, cool, in the end, she is still a queen, and she can do some happy things. Of course, the traffickers are going to cry!

As he was continuing, a guard suddenly came in, and when he entered, he knelt among the ministers who were seated: "Queen, the king of Nipur has sent a messenger to say that there is something very important. ”

King Nippur, Snead, what did he send for? Cheng Qianxun said, "Let him come in." ”

The messenger of Nipur was not as embarrassed as the messenger sent by Regel, but when he came in, he knelt on his knees, and threw himself on the ground with his hands raised high, and howled: "Queen, help the king of Nippur, he has always admired you... ”

"Slow, slow!" Cheng Qianxun frowned and interrupted him, and smiled bitterly: "What kind of day is it, in the past, they all came over to ask me to surrender, but now they come here on their knees and beg me for help." If you have something to say and make things clear, isn't there someone who wants to turn against King Nipur? ”

This messenger was also interesting, and immediately put away the fake cry, raised his body, and told the matter very seriously and calmly.

It turned out that Nipur was between Uluna and Urs, that is, Sneijder's country was between Rudolph and Gordon. Rudolph tells Gordon to join forces with him and flank Sneijder left and right, and Gordon agrees. So Gordon went with 20,000 soldiers and horses, and when he crossed the border, he found that Rudolph had not moved at all.

It's okay now, Gordon's soldiers have crossed the border, and he can't save face when he collects his troops back, so he fights, and he will fight sooner or later anyway, and he will fight while the national strength is relatively strong now, so he simply fights.

Snead had no choice but to add the soldiers in his entire city, even if they were fifty years old, and it would be 17,000 if it was enough, so he called the messenger to come and ask for help.

Cheng Qianxun chuckled lightly: "Ask me for help, right?" Go out now, and go eastward, until tomorrow morning you will be able to reach Erika, and ask King Erica for an army. ”

The messenger knelt there and did not move, as if he were lying here: "Because of the matter of asking for marriage, King Erica still wishes that my king would die." And he can also deduce that he heard that he has just killed someone who tried to usurp the throne, so it can be said that the situation is uncertain and it is difficult to send troops. Besides, Nippur and Erica don't have a relationship, and the queen goes to ask King Erica, and he will definitely send troops. ”

Send troops to support your rival? Come on! But it also shows that Sneijder really has no choice, otherwise he would not have come here to ask for help.

Cheng Qianxun thought for a while and asked, "With 17,000 soldiers and the city wall, it should be possible to get a draw, right?" ”

The envoy had a bitter face: "But that's the king of Urs, it is said that he is very good at leading troops, and his soldiers are all personally trained, and there are at least two of them wherever he goes to fight." Otherwise, he has only been on the throne for three years, but he has two cities, so much land? ”

Gordon used to be a special forces, and he was still stationed abroad. It must be an instinct hidden in the depths of his memory to carry out modern militarized management and training of his soldiers, while Sneijder can only teach soldiers boxing, no matter how good his martial arts are, he can't beat Gordon in group combat.

Cheng Qianxun stood up angrily and walked back and forth, these uneasy teammates. A country with a big country, but it is still unstable to sit on the throne. One plays with the belly, picks two and fights, what is this called? (To be continued.) )
