Chapter 889: Zhao Chu Diplomacy
For him, attending the feast of the Endless Country was an opportunity, an opportunity to spread fame!
In the following time, Jiang Bai went to the Ministry of Rites Hall as the great-grandson of the Great Qi Emperor, and met with Fang Shixin, the prime minister of Zhao Cheng, and after a short talk, the two agreed to set off at dawn tomorrow and go to the endless country four or five thousand miles away!
Jiang Bai's arrival means that Daqi has stepped on the chariot of Qin with one foot!
The next day, the twenty-seventh year of the Holy Qin, the twentieth day of August!
On this day, Fang Shixin, the prime minister of Great Zhao, and the great-grandson of the Great Qi Emperor went out of the city together and went to the country of Wuzhong.
At the same time, the Great Chu Dynasty, the Shouchun Imperial Capital, the Imperial Palace, and the Imperial Study!
In the imperial study, Xiong Nai, the emperor of Great Chu, held a book to read, sometimes frowning and sometimes loosening his eyebrows, after reading this book, Xiong Nai was both happy and angry, happy that the pirates in the waters around Great Chu were finally wiped out, and the angry thing was that it took a year or two to destroy only a hundred pirates.
Is this the Great Chu Water Master?
"Passing on the Prime Minister!" Xiong Nai snorted softly at a thin eunuch not far away.
"Yes!"
The eunuch leaned over and responded, quickly walked out of the imperial study, and went to Tongyu.
About a quarter of an hour or two later, the eunuch walked into the hall with a middle-aged man, who was dressed in a blue and white white crane riding the clouds and mending the court clothes, and it was also Du Tang, the prime minister of Great Chu.
Du Tang walked three steps to the front of the imperial platform and stopped, bowed down respectfully and saluted: "Ministers to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”
"Flat!" Xiong Nai raised his hand.
Du Tang straightened his waist and asked with a slightly puzzled expression: "I don't know what His Majesty suddenly summoned the ministers, what is the so-called matter?" ”
Xiong Nai threw the fold he had just seen to Du Tang, Du Tang didn't catch it for a while, and the fold fell to the ground, so he hurriedly bent down to pick it up, opened the fold and read it, when he saw the content on the fold, Du Tang was undoubtedly more puzzled.
Obviously won the battle, how to look at His Majesty's face, it seems that he has lost the battle.
"Your Majesty..."
Xiong Nai suddenly interrupted: "This is my Great Chu Water Master?" Just a little pirate, it took me two years to annihilate it, if the enemy sailor invades the territory, wouldn't my Dachu sailor be wiped out, and the sea area will become a bathing river for the enemy country! ”
"This..."Du Tang was speechless.
"How much money do you have left in the treasury?" Xiong Nai then asked.
"And ten million taels of silver!" Du Tang hurriedly made a compilation.
"Command the military department, allocate one million taels of silver to strengthen the water division, I have only one requirement for the water division, that is, the Great Chu water division must be the overlord of the sea!" Xiong Nai immediately and decisively ordered.
The corners of Du Tang's mouth twitched, Your Majesty, what about you, one million silver to strengthen the sailor can make the Dachu sailor become the overlord of the sea?
Your million taels of silver are worth a lot of money.
"Your Majesty, one million taels of silver is not enough!" Du Tang replied stubbornly.
Xiong Nai's face fell, and he said coldly with a straight face: "It depends on your ability, don't think that I don't know, now among the armies of Great Chu, including the water division, eating empty salaries has become the norm, and corruption in the DPRK and China is even more prevalent!" ”
When the words fell, Du Tangcheng was terrified, and he finally meant it.
Less money? Catch corruption!
This is to make him a wicked person in the eyes of hundreds of officials.
"The minister understands!"
Even if Du Tang is unwilling, he has to catch corruption head-on, otherwise, if he doesn't arrest him, Xiong Nai will have to arrest him.
Seeing that Du Tang obediently responded, Xiong Nai's face softened, and then he asked, "What news has the Qin Dynasty had recently?" ”
Du Tang raised his hand and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, there is news that the 100,000 Qin troops of the Qin Dynasty on an expedition of 10,000 miles annihilated the 410,000 troops of the Southern Wei Dynasty, captured 20,000 prisoners, and forced the Southern Wei Emperor to death, the Wei Dynasty has been unified, but the Qin army has also lost 70,000, and the commander Yang Hu has also died on the battlefield!" ”
When Xiong Nai heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "The Ten Thousand Miles Expedition can still make such a perverted record, the Qin army really deserves to be the army of tigers and wolves!" ”
After sighing, Xiong Nai couldn't help but be solemn again, it was really sad to live in the same era as such a powerful Great Qin Dynasty, fortunately, Great Chu was far away from the Qin Dynasty, otherwise, he, the emperor, would not be able to sleep well.
Sensing Xiong Nai's solemn expression, Du Tang immediately said: "Your Majesty, although the Qin Dynasty is far away from my Great Chu, but Qin Annihilates Xia and Zhao, and it is very likely that the next one will be my Great Chu!" ”
"Alas~" Xiong Nai sighed for a long time, "God helps Qin and does not help Chu, I faintly feel that God seems to be interested in strengthening the Qin Dynasty, Aiqing, you see, since the current Qin Emperor is always in power, the Qin Dynasty is smooth and rainy, and there are no disasters every year, I heard that when the Qin Dynasty conquered the Northwest Desert, it also accidentally encountered the so-called sacred objects, and easily turned millions of Huns into their own use!" ”
"The current Qin Dynasty is the most powerful dynasty in the history of the land of Kyushu, with strong soldiers, strong people's customs, internal and external expeditions, invincible, I am really afraid, one day, the Qin army will come to Shouchun City!"
Originally, Xiong Nai was not very afraid of the Qin Dynasty, but as soon as Du Tang said that, he was afraid.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, at least for a short time, I have no worries, please rest assured!" Du Tang said disapprerovingly.
"Report!"
At this moment, an urgent report came from outside the hall.
"Come in!" Xiong Nai snorted softly!
After the words fell, Shangguan Shao, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, walked into the imperial study, and bent down with a solemn and respectful expression to make a report: "Your Majesty, there is a person outside the palace who claims to be an envoy to Chu Zhao, and the minister checks his official seal and official document to Chu, and it can be determined that it is correct, is Your Majesty summoned?" ”
"Zhao Envoy?" Xiong Nai raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed with doubt, and he didn't understand the purpose of Zhao Envoy's visit.
"Your Majesty, it's very likely that it's because of the Qin Dynasty!" Du Tang said subconsciously.
"How do you know?"
"Intuition!"
Hearing the word intuition, Xiong Nai had a bottom in his heart, because Du Tang's intuition has always been very accurate, ten times of intuition, nine times were right, comparable to prophecy of the great immortals.
"Xuan!" Xiong Nai faintly confided a word.
Shangguan Shao, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, nodded in understanding, and immediately turned around and left the imperial study.
As soon as Shangguan Shao left, Xiong Nai couldn't help but ask Du Tang, "Isn't Zhao Qin married?" How could it be for the Qin Dynasty? ”
Du Tang shook his head, not knowing what it was for.
Xiong Nai closed his eyes helplessly, sat on the dragon chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, Du Tang also stood aside and began to be in a daze, and the two of them quietly waited for Zhao Envoy to come.
After about two incense sticks, Shangguan Shao, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, attracted a heroic man in his thirties, this man was strong, his waist was like a pine, and he was dressed in a silver tiger to go down the mountain to complement the court clothes, this person's name was Zhang Lang!
