As we approach June, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe cheerful cicadas that don't stop all the time during the day finally stopped, but the frog chirping with a little cute smell was taken over immediately, whether you like to listen to it or not, and start playing music.

Concubine Li's dormitory is close to Taiping Lake, which was dug up by Hu Hai two years ago. It is said that the lake is actually only a few tens of zhang in circumference, and most of the time this lake is actually a place used by Huhai to bathe. Da Qin had no concept of swimming, and Hu Hai could only prevaricate by taking a bath in the face of the surprised eyes of the concubines.

A corridor that is no more than ten zhang long rises up from the waves, spanning both sides of the small lake. In the middle of the lake is a pavilion that is not too large but has a delicate shape. Four palace lamps are hung on the four pillars of the pavilion, and under the misty orange light, the lake is swaying, competing with the stars in the sky.

On the round table in the middle of the pavilion was a huge circular lattice with hundreds of finger-sized crystal clear jade beads of six colors shining with various strange lights.

The checkers played by the little pot friends in later generations were plagiarized by Hu Hai and used to entertain the harem girls.

At this moment, Concubine Li, Yu Ji, Long Jiao, Long Mei, Zou Yanyue, and Long Xue are playing around the pair that will definitely fetch sky-high prices if they are placed in the future generations.

On the left side of the pavilion, Hu Hai and Li Yan were both lazily leaning on the soft chairs, and the most considerate Long Bing was standing behind Hu Hai and carefully helping Hu Hai massage his head.

Among the women, it cannot be said that Long Bing is the one who loves Hu Hai the most, but Long Bing is definitely the most gentle and distressed about Hu Hai.

Although Cui Niang and Lu Zhu are already nine concubines, they still can't change their cautious temperament. Hu Hai and Li Yan were here, so the two of them naturally didn't come over, but stood on both sides of Concubine Li and the others, and started the work of serving tea and water.

The ladies naturally wouldn't let the two of them serve, and after saying that the two girls just didn't sit down to play together for a long time. Of course, the checkers can only be played by six people. In the end, it was Hu Hai who spoke. The two daughters obediently got together with Concubine Li's six daughters, although they didn't sit down to serve tea and water, but they didn't sit down after all.

The humble background, coupled with the fact that the two daughters are indeed one level lower than Concubine Li and others in terms of grade, Long Bing and Long Xue also gave birth to a pair of children for Hu Hai a few years ago.

In this way, there is a natural gap between Cui Niang and Lu Zhu, who were finally named the nine concubines, and the rest of the concubines in the harem. In this regard, Hu Hai has no good way, he can only hope that with the passage of time, the two of them will truly integrate into the harem ladies.

There was not a single waiting maid in the pavilion. There are only Hu Hai and the concubines of the harem.

Speaking of which, this is the most complete time that the concubines of Huhai's harem have arrived in the past ten years. If you add Su You, who accompanied Su Wan in the Su Mansion, the Hu Hai family can be regarded as a real gathering.

Of course, although everyone knows that Concubine Zhuang, one of the four concubines, must have been left to Su You. But I don't know why, until now, the emperor has never decreed to canonize Su You as Concubine Zhuang.

So far, Hu Hai does not say that there are groups of children, but he has four sons and three daughters, counting seven children.

In February of the third year of the second year, Long Jiao gave birth to a son Ying Lekang, and Long Mei gave birth to a daughter Ying Wenyin; In September of the third year of the second year, Li Yan gave birth to a son Ying Jingxi, in October, Concubine Li gave birth to a son Ying Youning, and Yu Ji gave birth to a daughter Ying Chuchu; In November of the ninth year of the second year, Long Bing gave birth to a son Ying Jingjia, and Long Xue gave birth to a daughter Ying Qinqin.

Except for Ying Jingjia and Ying Qinqin, who are only half a year old. The rest of Ying Lekang, Ying Wenyin, Ying Jingxi, Ying Youning, and Ying Chuchu are all seven years old, and they have reached the age of making soy sauce.

Three years ago, that is, in the seventh year of the second emperor, Hu Hai decreed that Ying Jingxi was canonized as King De, Ying Youning as King Zhuang, and Ying Chuchu as Princess Jing'an.

As for Ying Jingjia and Ying Qinqin, who were born to Long Bing and Long Xue, they are still young, but they have not yet been canonized.

The five eldest sons and daughters. At this moment, under the leadership of Ying Lekang, he is doing his homework in the emperor's study. And the youngest Ying Jingjia and Ying Qinqin were also taken care of by the nurse in the palace, but no one came to disturb Hu Hai.

Looking at the Yingying Yanyan in the full pavilion, Hu Hai had a lot of thoughts in his heart. These are their own women, the women they love.

If you still owe anyone in this world. Then the nine girls in this pavilion are definitely in the first place.

Nearly ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, but their most brilliant years have been spent in the deep palace waiting for them day after day. Year after year. Their good years are also passing year by year. It's just that he is always in a hurry to come and go for the sake of national affairs and world affairs, but the communication with any of the women is becoming less and less.

Is this really the life you want? Is it really the life that a few women want?

Hu Hai was a little confused for a while.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? ”

"Huh?" Li Yan's voice came from afar, but it pulled Hu Hai out of his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with summoning the concubine sisters here to listen to the rain pavilion today?"

Li Yan didn't seem to notice Hu Hai's strange appearance, and glanced at the girls who were around the checkers next to him, and said in a coquettish voice.

This is a question that the women have been holding in their hearts. After all, the girls were all summoned by Hu Hai, and it has never been the case that all the harem concubines have been brought together.

Therefore, although Concubine Li and the girls seem to be playing checkers, their minds are actually on Hu Hai. Hearing Li Yan ask at this moment, Concubine Li and the others hurriedly put down the chess pieces and listened attentively.

"Who said that if it's okay, you can't summon all the concubines to get together?" Hu Hai tilted his head and looked at the concubines who had their ears pricked up, and said with a smile.

Li Yan didn't speak, just looked at Hu Hai quietly with beautiful eyes as bright as the morning star.

Obviously, Li Yan didn't believe Hu Hai's words at all.

was stared at by Li Yan like this, Hu Hai did not show weakness, and stared back at Li Yan's eyes without blinking.

Half ringing.

"Okay. You win. Hu Hai retracted his eyes and said helplessly, "I do have something to talk to a few concubines." ”

When Li Yan saw Hu Hai defeated, a smile like a flower instantly bloomed on his pretty face, like a hundred flowers in full bloom. Although she knew that Hu Hai deliberately didn't want to fight with her, she was still sweet in her heart.

"In the near future, I will issue an edict to the world to officially tour the counties of my Great Qin and Western Xinjiang in the future."

"Huh?"

"Click!"

As soon as Hu Hai's words fell, several women who were originally sitting around the round table let out a low cry, and the jade bead in Yu Ji's hand fell directly to the ground and was shattered.

Hu Hai's news stimulated the girls enough.

The first few inspections, which one is not at least half a load time? It's still fast. This time I toured the counties of Western Xinjiang, and I don't have to think about it, Huhai, the newly established county of the Western Regions of Great Qin, will inevitably go on a journey.

Xiyu County is thousands of miles away from Xianyang. That's it. If you slow down back and forth, I am afraid that it will take more than a year for Hu Hai to rush back to Xianyang. If it's fast, I'm afraid it will have to wait until the end of the year.

In other words, I won't be able to see my husband for nearly six or seven months? How can you not let the girls be frightened.

Although Li Yan did not lose his face as many as the girls, his pretty face was also a little pale after hearing Hu Hai say about the Western Tour. After looking at Hu Hai for a long time, Li Yan finally just sighed faintly and hung his head silently.

She knew that since Hu Hai had spoken out about this at this time, it was obvious that the Cabinet Office had reached a unified opinion on the emperor's western tour. Unless Hu Hai himself changes his mind. Otherwise, no one can change the matter of the Western Tour.

Li Yan didn't know if his daughters could make Hu Hai change his mind. She wanted to, but she didn't dare to make any attempts.

Once some words are spoken, it is okay for Hu Hai to agree; Once refused, then there will be a slight rift on both sides. It took several years for her to completely dissipate her previous feud with Hu Hai. Li Yan didn't want to make any more extraneous branches.

Even if she doesn't want to, as an emperor and a queen, she knows that some things are actually involuntary. Unless Hu Hai is a dumb king like before.

However, if he is really such a faint king, I am afraid that until this moment, he will not get his own body, right?

Besides. This plan suddenly toured west, and it was obvious that the counties of Western Xinjiang must have something to do with their own holy son of heaven. Of course, it is not excluded that his husband went deliberately.

For example, for Princess Loulan, who is said to have become Queen Ia.

Of course, Li Yan would not have said these words even if he knew. That's not what a smart woman should do. It's not what she should say in her majesty, Empress Qin.

It's just that. Why does my heart feel so painful?

"Li Xin's Western Expedition is of great importance to my Great Qin, and the Western Regions County is the foundation of more than 100,000 troops of my Great Qin's Western Expeditionary Army. The kingdom of Iya was captured by Duten's army. The Black Ice Terrace sent a letter to the various clans of the Western Regions County, but now they are ready to move. ”

Rarely, Hu Hai explained to Li Yan and his daughters the reason for going to the Western Regions this time.

However, Hu Hai still had some words unspoken. The Kingdom of Iya was indeed captured by Du Teng's army of 40,000, even with the help of thunder, at the beginning, the White Tiger Army's three-way army still encountered strong resistance from the Kingdom of Iya, and the casualties were not small. In the face of the power of thunder and earth-shattering, Iya never chose to surrender.

In the end, under the order of Du Teng, who had fought the liver fire, the White Tiger Army, which was divided into three routes, threw all the thunderbolts carried by the army into the three cities of the country of Iya, which were horns of each other.

Under the power of the thunder, the three small cities in the basin were reduced to ruins, including the royal city where Iya was located. It's just that the White Tiger Army, which cleaned up the battlefield, didn't find many corpses in Iya's country, let alone Iya herself.

How many people are in the country of Iya, Daqin has never gotten accurate data. The three small cities at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains originally had little contact with the countries of the Western Regions, but after Iya became the master, the three cities that were extremely xenophobic could not be mixed at all.

The disappearance of Iya and the unknown number of alien races in the country of Iya can be regarded as planting a time bomb for Daqin. Now the Black Ice Terrace, the Dragon Guard Mansion, and the White Tiger Army are all looking around for any trace of the alien race that may find the disappeared Iya Country, but they have never found anything.

The search for Iya and the people of Iya yielded no results, but the Black Ice Platform accidentally discovered an anti-Qin alliance organized by nobles from the countries of the Western Regions who had been hiding in the shadows with the intention of restoring the country.

After all, I was able to find them, thanks to Ia. If it weren't for the fact that the White Tiger Army found some sheepskin letters that had not had time to destroy when they attacked the country of Iya, I think these people would not have been exposed so quickly.

Obviously, the standoff between the country of Iya and Daqin made these people see hope, so they contacted Iya.

Although Li Xin's report on the slaughter and looting of the city by the Pingyi army had not yet been delivered to Xianyang, the detailed military information and experience of the Black Ice Terrace had already been submitted to Hu Hai's desk seven days ago.

In the process of foreign expansion, Hu Hai had long expected such a thing to happen. After all, the huge pressure on the battlefield makes the soldiers also need some ways to release.

It's just that Hu Hai didn't expect that such a massacre of the city would come so quickly.

Li Xin obviously did not anticipate what kind of impact the Pingyi army would have on Great Qin's next Central Asian strategy by massacring the city in such a way. A country that loves to kill, no matter how powerful it is, can only temporarily occupy a place when it is strong, but it cannot occupy it permanently.

Because, the slaughter only provokes greater revolt. It will only make the people of Central Asian countries fear Great Qin, and then unite against Great Qin.

This is not at all in line with Hu Hai's original strategy.

The tough dispatch of troops to the Brahmana Kingdom was only the need for Great Qin to show its strength in Central Asian countries. If necessary, it doesn't hurt to destroy it, after all, the Brahmana Kingdom first sent troops to plunder the merchants of Great Qin and attack Great Qin.

Strictly speaking, the rest of the countries, although they also treated the Great Qin merchants with a lot of exploitation, but they were not as blatant as Fanyana. For those damned slave owners of various countries, I think that at this moment there is also a great hatred for the countries of Central Asia. It's just that for the time being, no one dares to rise up and resist.

When the slaves of various countries really can't stand the exploitation and raise their banners to rebel against those countries, it is the best time for Great Qin to use troops against those countries. At that time, Daqin was the saint who rescued those slaves from fire and water, and then gave them a home for a peaceful life under the light of the Holy Son of Heaven.

It is not too difficult to occupy the Brahmana Kingdom as a specimen, and it is not too difficult to include dozens of countries in Central Asia into the territory of Great Qin without bloodshed. After all, for those ordinary slaves, it doesn't matter who is the master at all, as long as they can live.

If the Western Expeditionary Legion of Great Qin continued to slaughter the city like Dieluo City, it would inevitably cause panic among the Fanyana people, and even more so, it would cause the people of Central Asian countries to be vigilant against Great Qin.

Therefore, after receiving the news of the Pingyi Army's massacre of the city, Hu Hai had already ordered Hei Bingtai to pass his message to Li Xin at a speed of 100,000 that night.

All the wounded in the city were killed on the spot, and the remaining survivors were all immediately escorted to the territory of the Western Regions County by the 20,000 Donghu cavalry who broke into the city, and if the number was not enough, the cavalry who broke into the city dressed as the people of the city.

After the 20,000 Donghu cavalry were escorted into the Western Regions County, they did not have to return.

Hu Hai reprimanded Li Xin for the first time in an unprecedentedly stern tone, and strictly ordered the Western Expeditionary Army not to slaughter the city, burn and loot civilians again.

All kinds of things made Hu Hai have to put the matter of the western tour on the agenda in advance.
