Chapter 35: Prime Ministers of the Seven Kingdoms

Since Xu Zhonghang knew the identity of Qiu Luoxue's daughter, he paid special attention to her, especially her inappropriate behavior.

On this day, he walked with Qiu Luoxue and Nie Yuan, and saw that the distance between the two was a little close, so he went over and pushed Nie Yuan away and said: "Don't get so close, male ......" He just wanted to say that men and women are not kissed, but suddenly remembered that he couldn't say so, so he changed his words: "Men and men are not kissed, since you hugged each other in the execution ground that day, there have been more voices in the capital about the good man's style."

"It's not hugging, it's just ...... Just hiding in his arms for a while. Qiu Luoxue explained.

"So, can you do something misleading?" Xu Zhonghang educates Qiuluo Snow Road with the attitude of a parent.

Qiu Luoxue could only obediently admit her mistake and say, "I was wrong."

"Why are you murdering him?" Nie Yuan felt that Xu Zhonghang's tone of speech was not very good, and reprimanded him.

"I ......" Xu Zhonghang naturally knew that he couldn't beat Nie Yuan, so the tone of his speech was still very good, and he instantly softened and said: "I'm just, remind him, after all, he is the prime minister of Great Qin, and he must pay attention to the influence."

"It's rare that you're out of the house." Xia Ziyan didn't know when she appeared, and when she came to Qiu Luoxue's side, she touched her head.

Seeing this, Xu Zhonghang slapped Xia Ziyan's hand away and said, "How can you touch other people's hair?"

"I touched Luo Xue's hair, but I didn't touch you, why are you so excited." Xia Ziyan said, curious about Xu Zhonghang's actions.

"I, I'm ......" Xu Zhonghang's brain was running rapidly, trying to find a suitable excuse, but in the end he said the most unreliable: "I'm his brother, yes, so I have to take care of him."

"Brother? Are you the illegitimate son of the former prime minister? Xia Ziyan asked.

"It's not like that, we belong to Yijie Jinlan, right?" Xu Zhonghang said and gave Qiu Luoxue a look.

Qiu Luoxue was also afraid that Xu Zhonghang would not be able to find an excuse to tell his true identity, so he immediately responded: "Yes, we are sworn brothers, and he is my eldest brother."

Xia Ziyan's gaze turned around the two of them, always feeling that there was some abnormal relationship between them, and muttered, "Something is not right."

"Can you not be so obvious, others will be suspicious." After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qiu Luoxue pulled Xu Zhonghang to a place alone and said.

"That's not because you misbehaved, although you are now showing yourself as a man, but you must always remember that you are a woman, and you will marry in the future, how can you ...... like this" Xu Zhonghang persuaded bitterly.

"Do you think I don't want to get married?" When she mentioned this, Qiu Luoxue's reaction was great, and she said: "I also want to be like a normal woman, but I am the prime minister of Daqin, the emperor will never let me go, and my identity as a daughter must not be revealed." So marrying someone doesn't happen to me, and marrying a wife is pretty much the same. ”

"Even so, you can't be too indulgent, things will always turn around." Xu Zhonghang said.

Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "Ah, Commander Nie still lives in the same courtyard with you?"

"yes, what's wrong?" Qiu Luoxue asked rhetorically.

"How can you live in a courtyard, if it's not like that, let him move out immediately, come and live with me, isn't there still a lot of places in the Prime Minister's Mansion, let him move out quickly." Xu Zhonghang said that he seemed to really regard himself as Qiu Luoxue's eldest brother and cared about her affairs very much.

"Ask him yourself." Qiu Luoxue said that she had already seen Nie Yuan standing behind Xu Zhonghang, but she deliberately didn't say anything.

Nie Yuan stood behind Xu Zhonghang, and suddenly said, "I heard that you want me to move away, ask me about the knife in my hand first."

"Hey, I'm scared." Nie Yuan's sudden voice startled Xu Zhonghang, but Qiu Luoxue laughed "giggle".

Great Qin's neighbor Nan Liang recently submitted his credentials to Great Qin, and will send a prince and a princess to visit, both countries are big countries adjacent to the continent to the west, and the exchanges between the big countries naturally cannot be handled at will.

By the way, there are seven countries on the western continent, namely: Great Qin, Nanliang Kingdom, Beize Kingdom, Frost Moon Kingdom, Chuyang Kingdom, Blue Dream Kingdom, and Qiyu Kingdom. Among them, Daqin, Nanliang, and Beize are large countries, and the rest are small countries.

"Nanliang's mission is about to arrive in the near future, you can take charge of the reception." Xia Zimo said to Qiu Luoxue.

"Nothing special has happened recently, why did you send a mission at this time?" Qiu Luoxue asked puzzledly, feeling that this visit time was too arbitrary. Although the distance between Daqin and Nanliang is very close, it can't be so casual.

"Probably for the sake of the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms." Xia Zimo speculated.

"Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms?"

"You don't even know about the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, do you? Didn't you tell you about this? Xia Zimo asked.

"How could you not know this?" Qiu Luoxue said unconvinced, and then in order to show that she knew, she told the matter of the prime ministers of the seven countries, and said: "The prime minister of the seven countries is the prime minister of the Seven Nations Alliance, who holds the power of the alliance and is responsible for managing the affairs between the seven countries.

I saw these autumn snow from the history books, and I was very shocked when I saw this for the first time, isn't this a copy of the modern United Nations? The Prime Minister of the G7 is the Secretary-General of the United Nations. At that time, I was amazed at the advancement of the ancients. Moreover, there were originally only six countries on the western continent, and in order to facilitate voting decisions, each country ceded a piece of its own land to form the Central Country of Seven Feathers.

Thinking about it this way, this continent can be said to be very advanced, at the forefront of democracy. There are international organizations similar to the United Nations, restrictions on the re-election of authoritarian powers, and voting systems in which the majority obeys the minority.

"It seems that you are not ignorant yet." Xia Zimo said, it seems that Qiu Luoxue knows that this matter is a very commendable thing.

"But what does the Nanliang Mission have to do with the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, the current Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms is not from Nanliang." Qiu Luoxue said.

"The current Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms is Cai Chikun, the Prime Minister of Beize, and he still has one year left in his term, but he wants to abolish the original agreement to restrict election and extend his term, so Nanliang will send a mission." Xia Zimo replied.

"But it is not up to him to abolish the agreement, it needs the vote of the seven countries, and everyone will definitely not agree, and he is just working in vain." Qiu Luoxue said that she had not yet realized the seriousness of this matter.

Xia Zimo listened to her words, seemed to feel funny, and said with a smile: "You think too simply, as long as you have more than half of the votes, you can promote this matter, what if other countries vote in favor?"

"Is it because I was worried that we would vote in favor that Nan Liang sent a mission? But why choose us? Qiu Luoxue asked again.

"Don't you know that?" Xia Zimo seemed to be surprised, and Qiu Luoxue didn't know why.

Qiu Luoxue frowned and shook her head, and asked, "Should I know?"

Xia Zimo seemed to be annoyed by her ignorance, took a deep breath to ease his mood, and said: "After Cao Xin stepped down, aren't you the prime minister of the Seven Kingdoms, and Daqin is the country directly related to this matter, so Nanliang will be the first choice to discuss with us."

Qiu Luoxue was so surprised when she heard the news, her mouth grew into an "O" shape, and she could stuff an egg.

"Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms? Me? Oh my God, that's exciting, isn't it? Qiu Luoxue said in surprise, according to her official position, she is equivalent to becoming the Secretary-General of the United Nations?! How could this pie-in-the-sky thing not surprise her.

Xia Zimo looked at Qiu Luoxue's reaction with a little disgust, and said, "Okay, there's no need to be so happy, it's not like Daqin hasn't been the appearance of the Seven Kingdoms."

"Your Majesty, you probably won't agree to Cao Xin's proposal, you can't let him abolish the election system." Qiu Luoxue said, looking at Xia Zimo with expectant eyes.

"What? Are you quite the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms? Xia Zimo asked.

"Uh-huh." Qiu Luoxue nodded frantically.

This action amused Xia Zimo again, and he said, "It seems that you are really quite." Okay, let's vote against it, and this will also be discussed between you and Nanliang's mission. ”

"Okay." Qiu Luoxue immediately agreed, this may be the most diligent time for her to work.

"However, Daqin and Nanliang are both opposed, Chuyang Kingdom is dependent on Daqin, and Lan Mengguo is dependent on Nanliang, so the number of votes is enough, it's too simple." Qiu Luoxue said, feeling that things are too simple, isn't the interaction between countries very complicated?

"How could it be so simple. A hundred years ago, this was indeed the case, but it is no longer the case. Xia Zimo said.

"What do you think of the situation in the Seven Kingdoms right now?" Xia Zimo asked again.

This question stumped Qiu Luoxue, and after thinking for a while, she replied: "Big countries bully and oppress small countries, and there is peace on the surface, but in fact there are great hidden dangers."

"Yes, go on." Xia Zimo said.

"Then......" Qiu Luoxue said hesitantly, "and then I don't know." ”

"......" Listening to her answer just now, Xia Zimo still felt that she was very insightful, but she didn't expect it...... Hey, it's her fault.

"Countries can maintain calm on the surface, but in fact the storm is coming. The lord of Nanliang has not set up a prince so far, and the princes have enveloped the powerful ministers, and the competition for the prince is growing; Emperor Beize was young, and his relatives were autocratic; Chuyang and Shuangyue have wars from time to time due to border disputes; The lord of the Blue Dream Kingdom is mediocre and brutal, only for pleasure, so that the uprisings continue and the regime is unstable; The Seven Feathers Country was originally a country composed of land ceded by other countries, and it has never had a real right to decide, and the forces of various countries are stationed. As for Daqin......"

Speaking of this, Xia Zimo paused and said, "Someone is seeking power and usurping the throne, and it is not much better."

Qiu Luoxue originally thought that this was a continent that wanted peace, but when she heard Xia Zimo say this, it was also chaotic. Seven countries are already chaotic enough, and with some international disputes, it is even more chaotic. In this way, a storm is coming, how can she settle down?
