Chapter 178: The Forgotten Woman
Just when the Great Qin Empire canonized Qin Dui, the news that Qin Duan led the imperial army to defeat the Beihun army also spread as quickly as wings throughout the Eastern and Central Continents, and various forces spied out one after another, and even attracted the attention of the powerful countries of the Western Continent and several other nomads on the Tengger Prairie.
Out of the east gate of the Imperial Palace, there is the Victory Square with the same name as the capital and Triumph Square, and then a road ahead is the Victory Avenue that is famous for Triumph Avenue. There is a magnificent building complex, red walls and green tiles, majestic gates, strict guards, and royal markings, which is the residence of Zhao Youzhen, the king of the Great Qin Empire.
In a spacious living room in the backyard, Zhao Youzhen was lying comfortably on a leisurely chair, and two beautiful maids were gently beating Zhao Youzhen's legs. "Lord Wang, Mr. Xu has arrived."
"Oh, please let him in."
Zhao Youzhen sat up and waved his hand to signal the two maids to step back......
"See the prince." A man in his fifties saluted King Shin.
"Excuse me, excuse me, Mr. Xu, what kind of courtesy are the two of us here." Zhao Youzhen affectionately beckoned the visitor to sit down.
Xu Caiyi sat down under the greeting of Zhao Youzhen, this fifty-year-old Xu Caiyi, his body was thin and skinny, and his back was slightly hunched, but his spirit was very strong, and a pair of half-closed eyes showed a glimmer of light from time to time, he was the confidant of Zhao Youzhen, the king of letters, and his number one staff.
"Mr. Xu knows the situation of this Tokugawa Castle victory, I don't want to say more, you must also know the news published in the major newspapers yesterday, this morning the emperor has canonized the guy named Qin Du as the Marquis of Yongsheng, at that time, the emperor's interest was very high, Xu Sancai and Cheng Maocai raised some questions, and the emperor dismissed them, so no one dared to send it right. This Qin Duan is the middle force of the eunuch party, he has gained power in the northwest, and the arrogance of the eunuch party has also risen a lot, which I am very worried about," Zhao Youzhen seemed to be in a bad mood.
After pondering for a while, Xu Caiyi opened his mouth: "The prince doesn't have to worry too much. The counties in the northwest don't listen to the orders of the empire now, even if this Qin Du has a foothold in the northwest, it is useless, and the impact on the entire empire is also very small, and the prince does not need to worry about it at all. ”
"I hope so." Xinwang Zhao Youzhen said helplessly.
……
In Kurihara-gun, Mufu.
"Miss, Miss, there's news from my uncle." Xiao Cui excitedly ran into Mu Yunxi's room and shouted.
"Qin, how is Qin Gongzi?" Mu Yunxi asked excitedly.
"Miss. You see, you see, this is today's "Imperial News", my uncle defeated 100,000 iron horsemen in Tokugawa County, and now he has been canonized by the imperial court as the Marquis of Yongsheng. Xiao Cui said happily.
"Really."
Mu Yunxi snatched the newspaper excitedly It seems that it is okay, Qin Du's defeat of the Hun cavalry and the canonization of the Marquis of Yongsheng are on the front page, and it is easy to see.
"Great. That's great. Mu Yunxi said excitedly after reading the contents of the newspaper.
"Miss. Uncle is really good, not good writing, this leader is so powerful in battle, the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Humble Humians were beaten away by my uncle's 40,000 troops, which is rare in the history of the empire. Less is more than a campaign. ”
Xiaocui said happily that for Xiaocui, her uncle is not only her young lady's man, but also her own man, although she is a woman with no name. But it's still his woman, his man is so capable, can Xiaocui not be happy?
"Xiaocui, did you say that Qin Gongzi forgot me?" After being happy, Mu Yunxi said a little sadly.
"How so?" Xiaocui said.
"Then why hasn't he come to see me for so long, and hasn't even written me a letter yet, do you think he's been fascinated by other women and forgotten about us?"
Mu Yunxi asked. After all, more than half a year has passed, and Qin Duan has not come back to see him, and he has not even written a letter to himself, he is his fiancée, what is this.
"How could it be, Miss, you are so beautiful, how could my uncle forget you."
Xiaocui said, but Xiaocui was also a little unconfident in her heart, after all, the young lady of her own family had a bad relationship with her uncle before, although her uncle became smarter later, and the relationship between the two was much better, but who knows if his uncle still remembers this grudge.
"But why didn't he come to see me for so long, didn't even write a letter to me, or didn't say that my father sent a letter to me in the capital, I didn't know that he went to such a dangerous place in the northwest."
Mu Yunxi said sadly, as a woman, it is very uncomfortable to be ignored by her own man, especially a woman in ancient times.
"Maybe my uncle is too busy, maybe I'm really fascinated by a vixen." Xiao Cui said uncertainly.
"Xiaocui, what do you think we should do?"
Mu Yunxi asked, women, especially women who fell into the sea of love, always lose their opinions when they encounter such a thing.
"Miss, we can write to my uncle." Xiao Cui Ti yì said.
"Write to him?" Mu Yunxi asked.
"That's right, whether it's my uncle who is busy forgetting us, or my uncle who is fascinated by the fox spirit and forgets us, we have to write to my uncle to remind him that there are still his women thinking about him in Kurihara County, and don't forget that he still has a fiancée in Kurihara County." Xiaocui said.
"Yes, you are right, we will write to him, keep writing to him, so that he will not forget us." Mu Yunxi said.
"Miss, I'll get you paper, ink, pen and inkstone." Xiaocui said.
"Okay."
……
Just when everyone in Tokugawa Prefecture was engaged in the preparation work in full swing, an envoy from the capital also arrived in Tokugawa with a reward from the emperor's majesty. The envoy is from the Imperial Ministry of Officials, he is a servant of the Ministry of Officials, and he is at the same level as Qin Dui's cheap father-in-law, a middle-aged man about forty years old, named Li Shaoyan, who doesn't look unusual, but Qin Duan always feels that this person is not as simple as it seems.
At the reception banquet, Qin Du invited several well-known local gentry in the Tokugawa Prefecture, including Zhao Dongcheng and Xu Yongchang, and he also accompanied Liang Qiming, and both the guests and hosts seemed to be very harmonious and had a good time. The next day, just as Li Shaoyan was about to leave and return to the capital, Qin Duan sent him a generous gift, asking him to say a few good words for himself in front of the emperor.
Don't look at these little kind words, this is very important, you don't see many heroes and famous generals, they originally won a big battle, and a few words from the treacherous villain not only did not get any reward, but lost their lives in vain, so for these Qincha adults, they can't be offended.
A word can make things happen, and a word may kill you, so Qin Duan didn't dare to have a trace of negligence in this regard, and when he left, not only did Lord Qin Cha give him a generous gift, but the accompanying personnel also gave more or less a little, after all, doing big things, I don't care about this little money.
In the days that followed, envoys from all over the world brought various gifts to congratulate Qin Du on being crowned the Marquis of Yongsheng by His Majesty the Emperor, and of course these people had different tasks. These people not only had envoys from the surrounding neighboring prefectures such as Northwest County, Tongling County, Meishan County and other places, but also envoys from distant countries such as the Principality of Jieluo, the Sith Empire, the Kaman Empire, the Principality of Loulan, and the Kingdom of Indean, and even the Huns, Mongols, and Tubu people in the Eastern Tengger Steppe also quietly sent envoys.
Qin Dui and Liang Qiming didn't expect that this great victory in Tokugawa Castle would affect the nerves of so many forces, and after these distinguished "guests" came to congratulate, they didn't leave for a while, they all learned about the situation in Tokugawa Castle, and they all waited for Qin Dui's private reception.
However, there had been no such scene in Tokugawa Castle for a long time, so the necessary preparations were not made, and Liang Qiming had to temporarily rent houses from the merchants in the city for the envoys and their attachés who came to congratulate them.
The information from the envoys from all over the country to learn about the situation was quickly reflected in Qin Dui's ears, but Qin Duan did not take any restrictive measures, but instead welcomed these people to visit more and more, and strengthened the defense force. Because Qin Du felt that the current Tokugawa Mansion was a blank space, the only thing they could understand was the support of the local people for Qin Dui, and Qin Du was not worried about this at all, because the warm welcome of the people here could be said to be beyond any other place.
At the same time, Qin Duan also chose an appropriate time to personally receive the envoys who had written to congratulate him, and had a private conversation at their request. The envoys to Northwest County, Tongling County, Meishan County and other places are nothing more than clichés, in addition to congratulations, they hope to strengthen ties, exchange ideas, support each other, and so on.
For envoys from such as the Principality of Gerlok, the Sith Empire, the Kaman Empire, the Principality of Loulan, and the Kingdom of India, Qin Du'an was neither humble nor arrogant, but also very enthusiastic, hoping to strengthen exchanges with other countries in all aspects, especially economic and trade exchanges, and promote the development of economic and trade between the two sides.
These countries all expressed their willingness to live in peace with the empire, and hoped to set up an agency in the castle of Tokugawa Prefecture so that they could communicate in a timely manner, and Qin Duan readily agreed to the requests of these envoys.
When asked about the war with the Huns, Qin expressed great confidence and told these representatives that if the Huns dared to invade again, they would definitely not return, and hoped that the ministries would carry out fair and reasonable trade with the empire.
When these envoys and representatives from all over the country left with the information they had obtained, the work of Liang Qiming, Zhu Yongqing, Liu Xiaoshan, and Shangguan Yonglun to form a government and army also came to an end. (To be continued......)
