Chapter 305: Qi Jin Marriage?
After a while, a man who was over the age of six, with white hair on his temples, was dressed in a red court dress with a white crane driving the clouds, and two red ribbons hanging from his official hat, which was Zuo Xiao, the prime minister of the Great Qi Empire!
"Chen Zuoxiao, meet Your Majesty!" Zuo Xiao bowed respectfully and saluted.
He is over the age of six, and he is no longer as good as before, and when he bends over, it is a little inconvenient.
"Throne!"
Qi Didong's voice fell, and Li Min, who was still quite strong, moved a stool and put it behind Zuo Xiao, Zuo Xiao saluted and thanked him, and sat on the stool.
"Why did Zuo Aiqing enter the palace?" Qi Didong looked at Zuo Xiao with a calm expression and asked.
"There is news from the Qin Empire that the Qin army and the plain fifteen miles south of the Great Wall in northern Jin have completely annihilated 110,000 Huns, and the Qin army has killed 240,000 Huns, and the living force of the Bailan Prairie has been consumed by the Qin army!" Zuo Xiao said indifferently.
He looked indifferent now, and when he first got the news, his face was full of shock and incredulity, and he didn't expect the Qin army to solve the problem of the Huns so quickly.
"What?" Qi Didong was stunned for a moment, and even Li Min's face showed a look of shock.
What kind of combat effectiveness is this of the Qin army, it has solved the scourge of the Huns in just half a year, and it is not uncommon to win more with less, and it is not uncommon to win more with less, and it is strange that it can win more with less against the Huns, which is rare.
"Because of the implementation of the national policy of opening up wasteland and rewarding farming, the Qin Empire has recovered very quickly, and it has recovered from the seven-year rebellion, and now the Qin and Jin have also changed positions, and it has become easy for the Qin Empire to destroy the Jin, Your Majesty, the minister can say so, in a few years, the strength of the Qin Empire will surpass our Great Qi!" Zuo Xiao said with a slightly solemn expression.
"Alas~"
Qi Didong sighed again, today is really a day of sighs, "I sent troops to aid Qin, what I wanted was to let Qin and Jin consume each other, so that Qin and Jin would become weak countries, but I didn't expect that the Jin Empire was so unbeaten, and the 500,000 army was defeated by the Qin army in a few months, and now it seems that the purpose of my Great Qi and Weak Jin has been achieved, but the weak Qin has not been achieved, and my Great Qi is really unguardable!" ”
"Yes, not only did it not achieve the goal of weakening Qin, but it also made the Qin Empire become a strong Qin, not to mention whether the Qin Empire will surpass our Great Qi in a few years, with the current national strength of the Qin Empire, it is not an existence that anyone can handle, but it is worth reassuring that our Great Qi is favored by the Qin Empire, even if the Qin Empire has the ambition to swallow the sky, it will not offend my Great Qi!" Zuo Xiao is both uncomfortable and happy.
What is uncomfortable is that the Qin Empire has become a strong Qin, but fortunately, the Great Qi has the grace of the Qin Empire, and with this kindness, the Qin Empire will not commit Qi, and will focus on the east or northwest, and Qi does not have to worry about the safety of the border.
"That's a crooked fight!" Qi Didong was very helpless, and his good plan to weaken Qin turned into a friendly Qin plan.
Trample... Trample...
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and I saw another eunuch walking into the library with light steps, and stopped five steps before the imperial case, and then bent down respectfully to make a report: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang Jia, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is waiting outside the palace!" ”
"Ministry of Rites?" Qi Didong couldn't help but wonder, what else was going on in the Ministry of Rites at this time.
"Let him in!" Qi Didong opened his mouth and said.
"Yes!" The eunuch respectfully bent down to answer, and then turned around and left the library pavilion, after a period of time, Zhang Jia, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites in his forties, walked in in a red court dress, and without waiting for Zhang Jia to salute, Qi Didong couldn't wait to ask: "Suddenly entered the palace, what is the so-called?" ”
Zhang Jia bent down and saluted, and then replied with a respectful expression: "Your Majesty, the court of the Jin Empire has sent a letter of entry to the Ministry of Rites, and at the same time, the Jin envoy has already set off, hoping that our Daqi can give the Jin envoy a customs card!" ”
"What is the Jin Empire sending envoys to do with me?" A thick look of doubt appeared on Zuo Xiao's face, and he couldn't figure out what the Jin Empire was doing at once.
"Did they say, what are you doing here?" Qi Didong looked at Zhang Jia and asked, the tone of the question was also suspicious, like Zuo Xiao, he couldn't figure out the purpose of the Jin Empire's trip.
Zhang Jia took out a letter from his sleeve and offered it with both hands, the old eunuch Li Min immediately walked in front of Zhang Jia, took the letter, and then presented it to Qi Didong, Qi Didong skillfully opened the letter, took out a piece of white paper, and the white paper was stamped with two large seals, which were the seal of the Jin Emperor and the seal of the Jin Empire!
Qi Didong grabbed both sides of the white paper with both hands, his eyes narrowed into a slit and carefully watched the content on the white paper, Zhang Jia, Zuo Xiao and Li Min all looked at Qi Didong without blinking, wanting to detect something in advance from the change in Qi Didong's expression.
Although Zhang Jia was the one who forwarded the letter, he was not qualified to open it, so he did not know the content of the letter.
"Haha!" Qi Didong suddenly smiled.
Zhang Jia and Zuo Xiao looked at each other, not knowing why Qi Didong was laughing.
After Emperor Qi finished reading it, Zuo Xiao couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, why did the Jin Empire send an envoy to visit my Great Qi?" ”
Qi Didong smiled without saying a word, replaced the blank paper with Li Min, and laughed out loud; "You read it out and let the two Aiqing listen to it!"
"Yes!"
Li Min nodded in response, then grabbed both sides of the white paper with both hands, looked at the contents of the white paper with a serious face, and read: "Except for the last confrontation between the two countries in Nanguan, the two countries have never met each other, and the two countries are friendly to it, and I deeply understand that the Qi army sent troops to aid Qin, and I have never blamed Qi!" ”
"Jin since the battle of Qin and Jin, the battle of Yan Zhao and Jin, the national strength of the Jin Empire has been greatly inferior to before, Jin also recognizes the mistakes of the past, and is willing to be friendly with all countries, and will no longer face each other, Jin is willing to marry the princess Yu Qi, do the marriage, make friends with Qi, and defend the peace of the northwest!"
"Haha!"
"The Jin Empire's cheeks are really thick, haha!"
After listening to the content of the letter, Zuo Xiao and Zhang Jia couldn't help laughing, and while laughing, they couldn't help but sigh that the former powerhouse had a day when they bowed their heads and took the initiative to admit their mistakes.
"Two Aiqing, what do you think about this?" Qi Didong looked at Zuo Xiao and Zhang Jia with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, the minister believes that the focus is on the Jin Dynasty's intention to be friendly with all countries and to defend the peace of the northwest, from these two sentences, it can be seen that the Jin Empire is by no means only married to me, the reason why the Jin Empire is like this, I am afraid that the Qin Empire will send troops to destroy the Jin, and the Jin will be like this out of self-preservation!" Zuo Xiao replied with a calm demeanor.
