The two eunuchs who were in charge of registering the records and sending the medallion from the duty room of the celebrant to the imperial study on the same day swore that the medallion had never been lost in their hands, but they could not say why the medallion was missing, so the matter was almost an unsolved case.

couldn't find out the reason, and the chapter was gone, which made Qin Dong thunder furious, not only the eunuch and other people who were responsible for registering the records and sending the chapter that day were all sent to prison, but even the celebrant and the eunuch Hadlin were directly pushed to the end, and this position of the celebrant and the eunuch was not done, and he was demoted to clean the toilet.

Generally speaking, if there is a foreign mission to enter the territory, the border guard is to send fast horses to report to the imperial court, so that the imperial court can arrange the reception, not only did the border pass not send people to report the news that the mission has entered the territory, but also the eight hundred miles of expedited fast horses sent by the Honglu Temple did not get any news that the embassy entered the territory of the Hu Empire after asking the border guard post, and the news was transmitted back to Saidika, The court knew that this time the Amani were really not prepared to pay tribute to the Hu Empire.

The next time the court meeting was held, a result would be discussed at the court meeting on the refusal of the Amani people to pay tribute, and the day before the court meeting, when a cleaning eunuch was cleaning in the imperial study, he swept out a book under the imperial case, which was the one presented by Sandra, the secretary of the Honglu Temple, which was lost half a month ago.

The matter was reported to Qin Dong, and Qin Dong understood that the case of the loss of the chapter was not the responsibility of others. Rather, he himself accidentally let the piece fall to the ground while checking it, and slipped under the wide imperial case, so it is no wonder that he could not find out the reason for the loss of the piece. I couldn't find any of the movements.

The reason why he knew that this case was not the responsibility of others was because he had already stipulated that no one could touch the things on the imperial case, and the eunuch who was in charge of cleaning could only clean the ground and other places, and could not touch anything on the imperial case, nor could he peek at the recitals on the imperial case, and the imperial study was guarded every day during the day. Cleaning and sanitation can only be carried out during the day, and Qin Dong tires up the recitals on the imperial case by himself and sends them over every morning. Qin Dongdu completed the review within the same day, and then asked the eunuch to send it back to the General Administration Division, and then the General Administration Department sent it back to the imperial court yamen, and never delayed until the next day for approval. For those who have not yet made up their minds, they have not yet given instructions. Qin Dong will also leave it unsent, and then put it in the drawer under the imperial case, and then take it out for instructions when it is decided, and finally send it back to the General Administration.

After learning what happened, Qin Dong ordered the release of all the eunuchs and the eunuch Hadrin who had been imprisoned, and Hadrin was also reinstated. He was demoted from a celebrant to a sweeping eunuch, and then reinstated. The ups and downs of life are thrilling.

The next day is the day of the day, the court meeting is held normally, after Qin Dong sat on the throne of the emperor, the ministers of the various ministries have reported on the government affairs of the past five days, there is no major event, after the ministers have finished reporting, Sandra of Honglu Temple first saluted Qin Dong, and then said that the Amani did not pay tribute to the empire, and then Qin Dong asked the ministers to discuss this matter, what kind of disposal to do.

The generals thought that there was nothing to talk about, and that they would just send troops to exterminate the Amani, and now that the empire has a vast territory, a large population, a good economy, and a strong army, how can they tolerate such a thing of flouting the authority of the empire? If you don't destroy the Amani, how will you drip it?

Although Qin Dong asked the generals to also participate in the court meeting and allowed them to express their opinions and opinions at the court meeting, Qin Dong did not take their words as a reference, but just gave them a chance to speak at the court meeting, after all, these generals are too poor in politics and diplomacy, and if they really want to listen to them, it will be really dizzy.

The civil officials are generally the protagonists at the court meeting, Qin Dong still attaches great importance to the opinions and views of the civil officials, and Qin Dong will generally adopt more constructive opinions, even if someone says something wrong, Qin Dong will not pursue it, as long as they do not say insulting words at the court meeting, and do not disrespect the king, Qin Dong will count them innocent.

But once the military was involved, Qin Dong's attitude changed completely, he did not allow any civilian officials to participate in the military meeting, only the military generals attended the meeting, and the military generals could participate in the court meeting, but Qin Dong did not adopt the generals' suggestions on politics, but only gave them a chance to speak.

Judging from Qin Dong's treatment of civilian officials and military generals, military generals should be favored, because they can participate in both military and court meetings, while civilian officials can only participate in court meetings and cannot participate in military meetings.

But in reality? In fact, Qin Dong's attitude towards civil and military officials is the same, a country cannot be governed without civilian officials, and without military generals, it cannot defend its territory, and it cannot expand its territory.

For the fact that the Amani did not pay tribute in time, there were several kinds of civil officials, and some ministers had the same opinion as the military generals, and they started to fight directly, these people were all main battle factions, and some ministers thought that they should send people to urge the Amani people first, and let them send a delegation to escort the tribute and tribute to the emperor to meet the emperor, and if they sent someone to urge, the Amani still did not respond, then they sent a large army to crusade. Some ministers think that it is necessary to send people to urge the Amani to pay tribute, and to garrison troops on the border for military deterrence, if you can let the Amani pay tribute without fighting, it would be the best, even in the case of a large army stationed on the border, the Amani still refuse to pay tribute, and it is not too late to send troops to fight at that time, and they are fully prepared, and the chance of victory is greater.

Qin Dong listened to many of the ministers' constructions, which cannot be said to be all right, but they cannot be said to be wrong, but they all have a certain amount of truth, while Qin Dong prefers the last kind of construction, that is, while sending people to urge the Amani to pay tribute, he also sends a large army to garrison the border for military deterrence, and is ready to attack across the border.

There is another advantage of adopting this construction, that is, it can brake in time, because Qin Dong now does not know whether this matter is a trap set by a certain country, and before the army launches an attack, the intelligence department can conduct a detailed investigation to see if there are other countries making trouble in this matter, as long as the intelligence related to this matter can be found, Qin Dong can also issue instructions in time to control the situation, so as not to let the empire fall into a passive situation.

Thinking that Attila fell into the conspiracy of Geseric, he was persuaded by Geseric's envoy to send troops to attack the Gallic region, when the military commander of the Western Roman Empire, Aetius, united with the Visigoths, Burgundians, Franks, Alans and many other barbarians to deal with Attila, but after the war, it was said in advance that Attila would deal with the front of the Western Roman Empire's coalition army, and the Vandal army of Geseric would contain the back of the coalition army, Attila did not expect that this was Geiseric's conspiracy, and after the war, Geseric broke his promise, Instead of attacking the back of the coalition as agreed in advance, he left Attila alone against the entire coalition army.

Therefore, Qin Dong was still more cautious about sending troops to attack the Amani, most of his army were cavalry, and the terrain near the Alps was complex, which was not suitable for cavalry to attack, so he had to be cautious in sending troops, so as not to repeat the mistake of Attila's fiasco back then.

After the ministers discussed for a long time, Qin Dong did not let the discussion continue, and there was no need for this, he said: "Okay, for this matter, we will first send an envoy to the Amani people, and let them pay tribute immediately, and if they do not send an embassy to escort the tribute and tribute to Sadika to meet me within two months, it is to despise my authority and the empire, and I vow to send troops to levy it, and we also have to be prepared to send a large army to the border, as long as the Amani dare to say it." No, send an army against Ratien, the land where the Amani live! ”

At the height of the Roman Empire, Ratienne was a province of the Roman Empire, located north of the Alps and south of the Rhine in mainland Italy. Upper Germania, north of the province of Retienne, was formerly the Upper Germanic province of the Roman Empire, but now it was the territory of the Hu Empire.

"Yes!" When the ministers saw that Qin Dong's will had been made, they saluted and shouted loudly: "Long live!" ”

In fact, the Amani did not even think of paying tribute to the Hu Empire, they used to be vassals of Sambus, under the protection of Sambus, but Sambus had completely surrendered to the Hu Empire a year ago, and had no military power in their hands, only a convoy. Therefore, the Amani people thought that they could henceforth break away from the protection of Sambus, and they would no longer have to pay tribute to Sambusna, let alone the Hu Empire.

When the envoy of the Hu Empire, Alander, arrived in the Amani settlement, Retien, and announced to the king of the Alemanni people, Gibkate, that they wanted the Alemanni to pay tribute to the Hu Empire from now on, and to pay tribute to the Hu Empire, the Alemanni people knew that the Hu Empire had not forgotten this matter, and they thought that after Sambus had no army, they would no longer need to pay tribute, and now they had to pay tribute to the Hu Empire.

The envoy Alander also announced to Gibket, the king of the Alemanni people, that the kingdom of Alemanni should send a mission to escort the tribute and tribute to Sadika within two months, and send troops to conscript before it was too late, this ultimatum frightened the Alemani people, Sambus was a mountain in front of them, not to mention the more powerful Hu Empire, plus the army of the Hu Empire had been sharpened on the border, Gibkite could only obediently send an envoy with tribute and tribute to Sedika to meet Qin Dong.

Since then, the Alemanni people have paid tribute to the Hu Empire, and said that they will pay tribute every year, and the two sides have signed a vassal agreement, and since then the Alemanni Kingdom is a vassal state of the Hu Empire, and the future kings of the Alemanni Kingdom must be canonized by the emperor of the Hu Empire to be considered orthodox, otherwise they are traitors, and the world can punish them.
