Chapter 295: Recent Situation in the Imperial Court
Deng Xian was also very sensitive, "Your Excellency suspects them of stealing the technology of the Empire or the Milanese?" ”
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to improve dramatically all at once." Qin Duan's face became more and more ugly.
"But there is no evidence for this, and no one will believe it when it is said." Deng Xiandao, "The Manchu Dynasty is full of people vying for fame and fortune, where can anyone care about these things." ”
Qin Du was silent for a long time before he said, "Let's not talk about this matter first, what is the situation of the Lin family and the Lang family?" ”
"There is a rebellion among the ethnic minorities in the Lin family, and the Lin family is now doing their best to quell the rebellion, and they have no time to take care of anything else. Originally, the central government of the empire wanted the Lin family to send troops to assist in the response, but seeing this situation, they had to give up. The Lang family is not unusual. ”
"What does the Imperial Court have to say about my march into Loulan?" Qin Duan finally asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Your Excellency already knows that the last court meeting has already been discussed once, and there is no dispute, so you let your Excellency return to Beijing to report on work. At present, many ministers of the court and the central government have set up the main punishment for the lord, saying that the lord is arrogant and unruly, acting arbitrarily, and despising the authority of His Majesty the emperor. By the way, I don't know when the Lord offended Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, it is said that she has written to His Majesty the Emperor twice and said that you are flying and domineering, and you have no eyes on the king, and ask you to be removed from your post and investigated. Even his own brother, His Highness the Nine, couldn't persuade him. Deng Xian said.
"It doesn't seem to be as good as it could be." Qin Du Zou Mei said.
"Adults are all in their chests, what are you worried about? The soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it, and I believe that there will be no problems for adults this time. Deng Xian was very optimistic, "His Majesty the Emperor's attitude is also very ambiguous, and he has never expressed his attitude positively, which makes it difficult for the ministers below to figure out the holy will."
"Although the opinions of the DPRK and China are not good for adults, the people are very good for you! In particular, several major news media have published about your feat of resolutely sending troops to Loulan to protect the local Daqin and other ethnic minorities from ethnic cleansing for the benefit of our Daqin people, and many literati have even written monuments and biographies for you! Deng Xian said with a smile.
In front of Deng Xian, Qin Duan did not have any cover-up. He smiled rudely: "That's all nonsense, it's just a means to deceive the common people and win the hearts of the people." If it weren't for the abundance of Beiloulan, if it wasn't for the coincidence, if it wasn't profitable, why would I send troops?! What was invited to send troops, what ethnic cleansing. What is it to defend a weak and small people, deceive the ghosts, there is no profit to be gained, I don't care if his blood is flowing like a river, what about genocide? As long as it's profitable, no one invites me, I let people invite, and if there is no ethnic cleansing, I fabricate rumors of ethnic cleansing, anyway. Profit, never soft hands! ”
Deng Xian's face swelled with a look of approval, to do great things must be ruthless, to do the benevolence of a woman, to be bound by morality, are taboo for those who become big things.
"But then again, on the Empire's side, of course, we have to show that our Northwest Legion is a last resort to save the people from fire and water, and if the Empire suspects that I am doing this to expand its power. I'm afraid my trip to the imperial capital will be a little troublesome. Qin Du added with a smile.
"Your Excellency need not be overly worried, but now His Majesty's mood is quite bad because of the defeat in the war in the south. But since the news of your victory in Loulan came, the entire empire has shifted its attention to the west, and His Majesty's mood has improved a lot, as long as we do some more work, I don't think there should be much of a problem. Deng Xian's tone was not very sure.
"I'm measured in this regard, but if it's against me, I'm afraid I'll have to find a reason to serve the public. I hope that this news and public opinion can be as noisy as possible, at least let everyone understand whether I, Qin Duan, am an imperial hero or a great careerist? A faint smile appeared on Qin Duan's face.
"My lord, the major media in the empire will know that you have returned to the imperial capital early tomorrow morning, and when the time comes, you should make good use of this opportunity to create momentum." Deng Xian also showed a knowing smile on his face.
"That's nature. How can free defense and advertising not be accepted? Qin Duan and Deng Xian looked at each other and smiled.
Prime Minister's House, Budley Stanley Street, Carman City. Outside the brightly lit conference hall, five steps and ten steps and one sentry, the silver-gray armor glowed faintly in the dim starlight, and the soldiers standing guard were all soldiers of the Iron Blood Battalion of the most elite Royal Guards of the Kaman Empire, and a dancing flame insignia on the blood-red shoulder strap showed that their status was different from that of other army soldiers, even if they were three feet away from the conference hall, which showed how important the upcoming meeting here was.
The bronze square dome in the center of the room is blazing, dozens of butter candles on the surrounding walls illuminate the hall, the bright red Ruofugale embroidered cashmere carpet is spread on the all-black jade floor, and the huge floor-to-ceiling silk curtain covers the windows around it.
The short and fat man at the top of the throne was none other than the owner of the room, Duke Gomez, who was known as the iron-blooded prime minister, and there were two or three generals in full military uniforms on each side of the room, and only one was dressed in civilian clothes, which did not look amazing, and was quite plainly dressed, which seemed to be out of place with the atmosphere of the whole room.
"Duke Miley, how's your plan going?"
While munching on the betel nut fruit from the South Seas Alliance, the oily Prime Minister asked, his eyes fixed on the letter in his hand.
"Lord Prime Minister, the progress is quite smooth, the spies of the Gerlok people have infiltrated several times, and our people have not alarmed them, but they were only wiped out two days before they were about to make a move, and now the people in Jiama City have settled down a lot, and they know that there is no result if they continue to resist."
The first person on the left has a ruddy face, deep eyes and a hawk nose, and a silver beard under his chin shows that he is even more imposing, he is Duke Miley, one of the "Twin Pillars of the Empire" called by the Kaman military.
"Hmm, it seems that this Jiama City has finally stabilized, how is the immigration work going?" Gomez nodded in satisfaction and asked again.
"It's also very smooth, most of our early migrations were from the Delfu tribe, which is of the same clan as the residents of the Jiama City area, and they adopted the principle of voluntariness, so they didn't cause any trouble." Miley also had a proud look on his face.
"Well, good job, but don't rush it, there's still a lot of time, you can take your time."
Gomez's gaze turned to the burly general with a murderous face beside Miley, "Ruhi, how are you doing over there?" ”
"Prime Minister, don't worry, those Baiyin rabbit cubs have always been honest, not only in our territory, but also in the west of Sithrow, as well as in the east of Poole and Dodon, the Baiin people are very calm during this time, nothing special." The burly general's voice was loud, and his large mouth was half covered by a beard under his nose. (To be continued......)
