Chapter 957: Recuperate
Outside the underground palace, thousands of miles of yellow sand.
Everyone came out one after another, and when they saw Lu Chen, the soldiers of the Qin army who were waiting outside immediately greeted them, and some generals began to say with concern, "Your Majesty." ”
"I'm fine, don't worry." Lu Chen waved his hand.
This moment is real.
Like a big dream, Concubine Yu died in the underground palace.
At this time, Liang Xiao also hugged his fist towards Lige, and said apologetically, "Lixia, just ......"
"Huh? It's okay, Lord Liang doesn't have to worry. Lige said with a smile.
"I didn't expect that Emperor Yuan's secret turned out to be the art of seeking immortality, I really don't know, my trip is sad or ridiculous." Lu Chen also began to laugh at himself.
"Your Majesty's words are wrong." Lige said, "In my opinion, Your Majesty has gained something from this trip." ”
"Oh?" Lu Chen gave him a funny look.
"Isn't it?" Lige asked again, but he didn't say anything.
Lu Chen thought about it, then nodded and said, "Well, you're right, it's a kind of harvest." ”
Although he did not receive anything substantial during this trip to the Western Wilderness, it had a certain impact on Lu Chen.
Immortality, how many emperors dream of things, but has anyone ever succeeded?
"Changsheng, hehe, haha-" Lu Chen first chuckled, then smiled heartily, with a hint of mockery in his smile.
Obviously, his mood has cleared up, and he is the martial emperor who created the empire again.
Subsequently, Lu Chen took back the Nine Kings Sword, and when he picked up the King Jing Sword, looking at the pink and white scabbard of the King Sword, he also smiled and said, "This sword can't be lost, if it is lost, Jing Xi is afraid that he will not finish with me." ”
Hearing this, Lige couldn't help but start quipping, "Your Majesty rules the world, and everyone in the world thinks it is a tyrant, but I didn't expect that I was so afraid of Madame." ”
"What are you talking about? How could I be afraid of her? Lu Chen also said with a smile: "My name is like respecting her." ”
"Yes, yes, what Your Majesty said is very true." Lige hurriedly said with a smile.
Next, Lu Chen named a general of the Pingzhou Army and ordered him to lead a cadre of soldiers to the nearest town, collect a large amount of fire oil, and then personally supervise and burn down the tomb of Emperor Yuan.
The secret of his immortality also disappeared without a trace with this fire.
More than two months later, the Imperial Palace, the Great Hall of the Imperial Council.
"Xuan, the Tusi envoy is coming to see ~~~~" The eunuch's sharp voice dragged on, and it was passed down layer by layer.
After a short time, the Tusi envoy stepped into the hall, and then touched his chest with his hand, bent down at Lu Chen and bowed deeply, and said, "Briss see His Majesty the Emperor." ”
This is an old acquaintance, seeing him, Lu Chen couldn't help but smile heartily, stretched out his hand slightly and said, "The messenger doesn't have to be polite, Briss, don't come unharmed." ”
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, it's still the same below." Bliss said.
"It's good to look good, at least, there won't be so many worries." Lu Chen chuckled, then changed his words and said, "In previous years, when I was still the Wind King, in order to show the friendship between the two countries, there were etiquette exchanges every year, why didn't Tusi send an envoy this year?" ”
This issue is related to the diplomacy of the two countries, and the Imperial Minister has also discussed it.
You must know that Tusi used to pay tribute to Lu Chen every year, but now that Lu Chen is the emperor, Tusi suddenly broke off, which also made many ministers think that Tusi has a different heart.
When Briss heard this, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, I have come here this time to apologize to Your Majesty on behalf of my King Tus. ”
"Oh?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows.
"According to the etiquette of the two countries," said Bliss, "we should have sent an envoy at the beginning of spring, but at that time something happened in the country of Tus, and His Majesty had no time to take care of anything else. ”
"Oh? What's the matter? Lu Chen asked with interest, obviously thinking that this was Tus's excuse.
"Some internal affairs, it is really inconvenient to tell you, and I hope Your Majesty will understand." Briss said respectfully.
Hearing him say this, Lu Chen had no choice but to say, "Okay, I don't ask, let's get down to business." ”
"Thank you for your understanding." Bliss said a word, and then began to get down to business, presenting a series of lists of items, paying tribute to Lu Chen, and on behalf of King Tus, he expressed some things with Lu Chen that he hoped that the two countries would be friendly forever.
Lu Chen had nothing to say about this matter, and he also had a very happy conversation with Bliss during the period, and at the end, he also smiled slightly, "Bliss, after you return to China, you will also say hello to King Tus on my behalf." ”
"Thank you Your Majesty for your care, I will definitely bring it in the future." After Bliss finished speaking, he also saluted Lu Chen again, and then bowed and retreated.
After he left, the ministers of the DPRK and China also began to talk.
Su Muzhi was the first to come out, he first bowed to Lu Chen, and then said, "Your Majesty, in recent years, Tusi's dissenting intentions have become more and more obvious, and sooner or later there will be turmoil. ”
His proposal was immediately supported by Zhao Chuan Qingyang and other senior generals, but Lu Chen's brows furrowed.
It's not that he didn't dare to fight Tusi, but the world was initially decided, and all kinds of ruins were waiting to be rebuilt, and the Central Plains had fought for so many years, and the people had finally settled down, and they were going to start a war again!
At this time, Xue Huairen also stood up and objected, "It's not impossible to send troops to Tusi, but it's definitely not now, right now, the empire has just been unified, and the people of the world are eager for prosperity, if you start a war again, the people's livelihood will be miserable!" Your Majesty should think twice. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sima Wen also stood up and said, "Xue Xiang's words are reasonable, Tusi is now willing to surrender, if our country sends troops, it will be completely nameless, and the benefits of this war, even in terms of the final victory, are not very large, and the gains outweigh the losses, therefore, Your Majesty cannot accept General Su's words." ”
"That's right, sending troops to Tusi is not a good decision for our country now, Your Majesty has always been a saint, and at this time when a hundred wastes are waiting to be rebuilt, the people's livelihood in the world should be the most important." Chen Qun followed and said.
The military attache wanted to fight, but the civilian officials did not think it was feasible.
In fact, judging from the current situation in the country, it is indeed inappropriate to use force again, and blindly resorting to force will not be able to govern the world well.
After that, Lu Chen also looked at Xiao Wang and asked, "What does the prime minister think?" ”
Xiao Wang pondered for a moment, and arched his hand and said, "The minister thinks that attacking Tusi is really inappropriate now. ”
"Yes." Lu Chen nodded, then looked at the ministers and said, "It is not appropriate to start a war now, first, and second, it is also a matter of national policy, since the national policy has been decided, don't change it easily, all parts of the Central Plains have suffered from war, and there are thousands of holes, so let's recuperate, this is also what the people want." ”
