"Jin Chaguo ......" the empress frowned.

Of course, she knew that Jinchaguo, a small country located in the northwest of Dongqian, was one of the vassal states of Dongqian, and paid tribute every year, but the relationship with Dongqian was not close, and this small country had a very low sense of existence in the empress's heart, so she had to think about it.

Speaking of which, most of the small countries around Dongqian were all vassal states of Dongqian, and at the beginning of the founding of Dongqian, they subdued all the surrounding countries, including the Beirong Empire.

At one time, all the countries around Dongqian were subject countries.

However, with the passage of time, Dongqian's control over the subject countries gradually decreased, and after Donggan experienced its heyday, its national strength began to decline, but most of the small surrounding countries were still nominally subject states of Dongqian.

So far, some small countries have paid tribute to Donggan every year.

But some of them have long been gone.

But nominally, it is still a subject state of Dongqian.

In this name...... Very important! During the period of Xuanzong, many small countries began not to pay tribute, and the Dongqian court would explain the situation, and said that it was poor, and Emperor Xuanzong would exempt him from paying tribute, and sometimes he would give a large amount of materials back to the envoys, which could be regarded as a support for the subject country, or a reward.

Dongqian is so generous, it is nothing more than for the name of that suzerain.

Without strength, they would not dare to get rid of the identity of a subject state of Dongqian.

As strong as Beirong, they dare!

Although those small countries were separated from Dongqian, they did not dare to disregard their vassals.

And this Jincha country is the more peaceful and well-behaved in the subject country of Dongqian, and pays tribute every year, although there is nothing valuable, but it means that it has arrived. This has something to do with the geographical location of Jinchaguo, and it is very dangerous not to hug Dongqian's thighs!

"Enlighten the Holy One." The empress was still thinking about Jinchaguo, but she saw Li Guangshan take a step forward and said: "About a month ago, 30,000 cavalry of the Beirong Oro Department invaded Jinchaguo...... The sudden arrival of the Jincha delegation was probably to ask the imperial court to send troops......"

"Oh?" The empress raised her eyebrows.

She didn't know about it before.

Zhou An knows.

Li Guangshan knows.

But the empress didn't know.

Because there is no need to report this matter to her, there are too many important matters that need to be handled by her personally, and the subject country is beaten...... It often happens that there are things between the subject countries and they still call back and forth, and Dongqian rarely pays attention to them, after all, he has a mess.

Zhou An knew about this because of the East Factory.

Although it is not intelligence in Dongqian, Beirong has always been the key target of Dongqian's surveillance, and Dongchang will have first-hand information on any movement in Beirong.

Li Guangshan can understand it because he is the generalissimo of the Zhongzhou Army, and he must understand the military situation in Beirong.

And he focuses on Beijung.

Jin Chaguo is not important, and Li Guangshan does not care about it, but it is impossible for Li Guangshan not to understand the military operations of Beirong.

Speaking of the visit of the Jincha State Mission.

In fact, many of the bigwigs in the DPRK and China know it.

The Jinchaguo delegation has been here for a while, but it is very difficult for them to meet the empress! Even it was difficult for them to see the Rite Department Shoshu.

Need to go through the relationship.

As for the Jincha State Mission, the Dongqian Imperial Court can be said to have paid quite little attention to it, because the Jincha State is too small, and the area is equivalent to the land of Dongqian Prefecture, with a total population of only a few hundred thousand.

If the officials of Dongqian can take the Jinchaguo mission in their eyes, they will be in for hell.

Listening to what Li Guangshan said, the empress pondered again.

"Holy." Jia Linbo took a step forward and arched his hand, "The old minister thinks that this envoy of Jincha State is still good to see, and at present, Jincha Country is suffering from calamity, and the envoy has come to beg, since Dongqian is the suzerain, there is no reason not to see it......"

In fact, the empress didn't think about it.

That's what she was thinking.

"Where is the envoy of the Kingdom of Jincha now?" The empress nodded lightly and looked at the Ministry of Rites.

"At Honglu Temple!" The Ministry of Rites is still in the book.

"Hmm." The Empress nodded, "Then ...... This evening, I held a banquet in the Wuji Palace. ”

Because I didn't know what the specific request for the visit of the Jincha delegation was, I didn't continue to discuss it.

The early dynasty continued.

One by one, the ministers came out one after another to gather all the things.

Money-seekers, money-seekers, money-seekers!

Now Dongqian is very short of money.

Raided Wu Xukuan's house, although it made Dongqian fat for a while, but Yuan Wenxun was a very planned person, and rarely took the risk of overspending or embezzlement, and he even calculated the military expenses in a few months.

As a result, the household department obviously still has money, but Yuan Wenxun can't take out much.

The morning pilgrimage lasted nearly two hours.

In the end, Jia Linbo came out again and reported to the empress about something that was important and important, and that it was not important or important.

"Qi Qi Sheng, Lord Wen Weitian, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, died of illness at home on the third watch day yesterday......"

Tian Wenwei died.

He died of illness!

Or rather, he was alive!

As the most ruthless one of Zhou An, Zhou An didn't treat him well, but this old guy just couldn't get along with himself, his thoughts were not comprehensible, and he suffocated himself to death.

But then again, Tian Wenwei's age can be regarded as a long life.

The empress was slightly stunned, and glanced at Jia Linbo with a slight gaze.

Jia Linbo is very good at being a man and an official, although his temper is a little stubborn, but he will always handle things that have nothing to do with him, and he will not act according to his temper.

Talking about this before the scattered dynasty naturally did not want to affect today's early dynasty.

This also reduces the likelihood of accidents happening.

At this juncture, no one will jump out and say anything anymore.

The empress groaned again.

This matter is not just over after listening, because according to the convention, important ministers who die of illness in office must be sealed! At the level of Tian Wenwei, the emperor wants to give him a nickname.

It was quiet in the courtroom.

The empress suddenly raised her head and glanced at Zhou An.

Zhou An looked at his nose and nose and mouth, looking like an old monk was settled.

He didn't intend to influence the empress's decision.

The death of people is gone, and Zhou An has no intention of pursuing Tian Wenwei for anything. Otherwise, the arrangement for him would have been made clear a long time ago.

"Tian Aiqing has been an official for decades, and he has fulfilled his duties, but he is ......" The empress spoke, praised Tian Wenwei, and finally posthumously named him the Marquis of Zhengtong County......

Retreat!

After the court, Zhou An did not return to the harem with the empress, and left the palace directly.

He was afraid of the empress, and he had to run into Kou Dong'er when he went back, and the empress might play with him, so he should avoid the limelight first.

When he came to Dongchang, Zhou An gave an order to ask for all the information of the Jinchaguo Mission, and then went straight to the backyard, Master Miaoyan was drinking tea, and Zhou An came to rest for a while.

"The master is so interested."

"Lord Zhou, please."

Without too much politeness, Zhou An sat down and chatted with Master Miaoyan.

Not much.

The small pavilion came to the backyard and handed over the thick pile of sorted documents to Zhou An.

Dongchang's intelligence network in Qianjing is very terrifying, it can be said that everything is under control, whether it is important or unimportant, Zhou An has not paid much attention to the Jinchaguo mission before, but since the mission arrived in Qianjing, it has been monitored by Dongchang.

Zhou An didn't avoid Master Miaoyan, he was just busy and took advantage of the opportunity to read the information to sit with Master Miaoyan.

Flip through the intelligence files.

The first few pages are all recorded in the information of the envoys of the Jincha State Mission, which has more than 100 people in total, and there are three envoys, one chief envoy and two deputy envoys.

This messenger is a woman.
