Chapter 337: Charlotte's Worries
"My lord, you haven't rested so late?"
Qin Dui, who was sitting at the desk and reading a book, was interrupted by the gentle words, and raised his head, only to see that the sleepy-eyed Charlotte had already walked in with a cup of fragrant coffee.
"Oh, I've got something to do, you go and rest, it's late at night."
Qin Duan took a deep breath, as if she was tasting the fragrance of coffee, but in fact, she was sniffing the body fragrance of the girl around her, and she was wearing a white one-piece nightdress covered with a thick coat, which could not hide the girl's intoxicating style at all.
"Adults should also pay attention to their bodies, staying up late like this is not good for your health." The strong sense of concern made Qin Duan feel a burst of warmth.
"It's okay, I'll pay attention to it myself, you go and rest, thank you for the coffee, it tastes great." Taking a sip of coffee, Qin Duan put down his cup and said.
"My lord, I want to ask a question." The girl wanted to talk and was a little hesitant.
"Oh? What's up? Qin Du raised his head and looked at the girl's smooth face.
"I heard that the adults are going to give little Willy and his friends a special job?" Out of concern for her brother, the girl finally spoke.
"Well, there's such a thing, is there any problem?" Qin Duan put down the pen in his hand and said calmly.
"Isn't there any danger in this work?" Her face flushed slightly, and the girl asked.
"Are you worried about Little Willy's safety?" Qin Du asked with a smile.
"No, I didn't mean that, he's too young, I'm worried if he'll ......" The girl's face turned even redder.
"It's okay, I can understand your worries, but don't worry, now I'm just thinking about letting little Willy go to all parts of the imperial capital to learn about all aspects of the situation, and come back to tell the people concerned, and there are no other activities. There are no dangers or risks, and I plan to give him the opportunity to study hard. Qin Duan smiled and waved her hand to show that she didn't have to mind.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm a little worried." The girl hurriedly apologized.
"It's nothing, I'm glad for little Willy, to have such a sister who loves him. It's too late for me to envy. ”
A look of amazement flashed on Qin Duan's face, and it was several years after that, staying in the northwest and not knowing when he would be able to return to Kurihara County, he should also go to his parents' graves to sweep the graves, Kurihara County also had a fiancée of his own.
The days passed quickly, and after two or three days, after finishing the negotiations with the envoy Rawang of the Indean, Qin Duan attended a separate banquet with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and King Ning and King Xin one after another, although there was nothing new. But it can also be regarded as a ceremonial visit.
The negotiations with Rawang were full of twists and turns, and after obtaining Lawang's assurances that the Northern Loulan and Northwest caravans would enjoy preferential tariff conditions through the tribal territories of Hyderabad, Qin Dui locked his main purpose on the attitude towards the countries of the Western Regions. There was a certain difference of opinion between the two sides on this point, Qin Duan demanded that the Hyderabad tribes not support the Western Regions countries militarily and politically, although the political influence of the Indean Kingdom was very limited, but Qin Duan still strongly demanded that Rawang guarantee to do this in order to isolate the Western Regions countries.
After bargaining, Qin Duan agreed not to interfere in the normal economic exchanges between the Western Regions and the Indehu Kingdom, but the Indean Kingdom's exchanges with the Western Regions were limited to economic and commercial purposes. The government cannot support the other party, if there is a situation where the Qin twilight side and the countries of the Western Regions are opposed. The Kingdom of Indean must be strictly neutral.
He promised to take military action against the Punjabs within one year and to destroy the main military forces of the Punjabs within three years, and promised to help coordinate the relationship between the Huns and the Hyderabad tribes in the near future to reduce the pressure on the Hyderabad tribes in the north.
The conversation with the crown prince Zhao Yan was also full of the flavor of the transaction, in addition to congratulating Qin Duan on his concurrent appointment as the governor of Beiloulan, Zhao Yan clearly expressed the hope that Qin Duan would see the shape clearly. Choose the right object and don't try to step on two boats.
Prior to this, Qin Du made a special trip to visit Gao Lishu, the owner of the "Imperial News", and the guests and hosts reached a lot of consensus on the issues of concern to both sides, and Qin Du agreed to give the Gao family the most preferential policies for operating water transportation in the northwest region and the northern Loulan region. He also said that under the same conditions, the transportation business of the local governments of Northwest and North Loulanzheng will give priority to the transportation business run by the Gao family, so as to support and support the development of the Gao family.
reciprocated the peach, and Gao Lishu's hint to Qin Du was also understood. The next day's "Imperial News" began to sing praises to Qin Dui in the form of an album, creating a great momentum of public opinion, and opened a special page to comment on Qin Duan's foreign relations and economic development after he officially took charge of the northwest region in recent years, which aroused the enthusiastic attention of the ordinary people in the imperial capital, and for a time a northwest wind blew up and down the imperial capital.
Qin Duan also took time out of his busy schedule to be interviewed by a large number of media such as "Daily Express", "Voice of Great Qin", and "News People", on the one hand, he tried his best to praise the wise leadership of the emperor, and on the other hand, he also told some of the work he had done in a matter-of-fact manner, and at the same time constantly hinted that he was ready to settle in the imperial capital.
……
The five-day joint summit meeting of the heads of state of the Western Regions finally came to an end after a two-day postponement, and the results of the meeting disappointed Hayibar, not only did the two countries of Gaochang Kucha, which had previously hinted at their support, change their minds, but even the Baijia country, which was once ready to send troops to form a joint force first, also became hesitant and hesitant, and the Wusun country, which had not made a positive statement, finally directly expressed his disagreement with this proposal.
Although the meeting was extended for two days on this issue, it ended in failure, much to the dismay of Haybar. However, he also knew that the reason why this meeting failed to achieve the expected goal had a great deal to do with the missions sent by the Great Qin and the Huns, and in the face of strong military pressure from the other side, Hayibar could only helplessly watch the other countries change their ways.
Seeing the missions of several countries leaving one after another, thinking that his intentions had been understood by the other side, and that the powerful enemy would never stop there, as if he had seen the final end of his country, Haybar was so angry and anxious that he finally fell ill on the way back.
"Sister, look at this newspaper, everyone is predicting that His Majesty the Emperor will marry you to that Qin Dui."
The girl in the pale floral embroidered jacket with a light smile read the latest report with interest, and quietly glanced at the girl in frost who was holding a volume of "Zizhi Tongjian" and looked fascinated.
"Hmph, nonsense, it's all grandstanding, even my father can't decide my marriage, how can these guys know?"
Zhao Zirou snorted disdainfully from her nose, without raising her head, still looking at her favorite book seriously, although she has read it many times, but every time she reads it, she can experience something new, and the so-called never tired of reading may be like this.
