Chapter 407: Rigidity is already extreme
Liu Jingye is a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. I think that at the beginning, in order to take revenge on the Confederacy, he even released the "plague virus", which is enough to wipe out the species, is there anything he can't do? Compared with this, the Mesomian "eyebrows and eyebrows" is really trivial. Besides, the Confederacy had already established diplomatic relations with the Mesomians, so why couldn't he have the Han Empire?
Therefore, it can be said that part of Liu Jingye's confidence in the confederation came from the alliance with a certain powerful family of the Mesomians! Coincidentally, this strong family of Mesomians is none other than the "Shalomon Family" that is on the opposite side of the "Adfu Family" where Verica is located, that is, the family of Anhd, who has been entangled with Xi Xue for a while!
In contrast to the cautious approach of the Confederacy, Liu Jingye adopted a comprehensive and radical "strategic partnership," including military, economic, agricultural technology, heavy industry, and so on. It's just that the Han Empire is different from the Confederacy, and the people of the Han Empire don't have any right to know about the imperial court, so the outside world doesn't know all this, even the Confederacy hasn't received the slightest rumor.
Liu Jingye chose to invite Anhelda Shalomon, the first heir of the "Salomon Family", to be a "guest" of the Han Imperial Capital at this complicated and sensitive time, obviously with some kind of wishful thinking in his heart. In particular, this time Liu Jingye did not mean to conceal it, but made a big fanfare, and welcomed the "visiting group" of the "Shalomen family" into the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty with great fanfare.
So, just one day before the "War of the Century" was about to begin, the imperial capital of the Han Empire ushered in another bustle - this was really lively, just like when Wei Lijia visited the Confederacy, it really caused a sensation like a fryer.
Because Liu Jingye arranged an unusually grand and solemn welcoming ceremony, and there were fierce soldiers standing on the street along the way, the people of the imperial capital did not dare to talk nonsense at all, for fear of disaster coming out of their mouths. This really suffocated the people of the imperial capital. Come to think of it, I suddenly saw a large group of novel creatures with tails behind their buttocks and two plush ears on their heads, and there must be a lot of words in my heart that I want to pour out, so it's a good gossip, isn't it? But as soon as they saw the welcome formation, few people dared to speak, so they could only hold back.
At the same time, the official media also carried out extensive coverage of Mesomian visits. Needless to say, it's all positive, positive, and praiseworthy reporting. The people of the Han Empire had to passively accept it, and they couldn't even communicate and discuss it on the Internet, and once there was a statement about the Mesomians, whether good or bad, it would be deleted immediately.
At this moment, Xi Xue was watching the live broadcast in front of the TV, and the picture happened to show Liu Jingye, who was in a dragon robe, showing the majesty of the emperor, and a gorgeously dressed and handsome Mesomian cordially and friendly handshake.
It stands to reason that such a grand occasion to welcome foreign guests requires the presence of Lu Jinfu, the mother of a country, but there is not even a shadow on TV, obviously Liu Jingye did not let Lu Jinfu participate at all, which is a proper proof of "the queen's fall from grace". However, Xi Xue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, if he saw her and Liu Jingye "in the same frame", he would not feel comfortable in his heart.
Xi Yuanwei said disdainfully: "This Liu Jingye is really good at making trouble, and he actually got involved with the Mesomians." ”
Xiyuan said: "I still chose this point in time, the day before the 'War of the Century'. I can't say he's doing everything he can. In case tomorrow's result goes against him, he still has cards in his hand. The Confederation saw the relationship between the Mesomians and the Han people, and no matter what they did, they would have more concerns. I'm afraid, Liu Jingye can do things, but he can't control the situation. This time the news about the Mesomians came almost suddenly, without any warning. But now that it has been announced that the Great Han has established diplomatic relations with the great nobles of Mesomia, it must have been in contact with them for a long time. In other words, this matter was made by Liu Jingye without permission, leaving aside all the important ministers of the court, and secretly carried out it in private. ”
Xi Yuanyu said: "What a stubborn and self-serving, arbitrary dictatorship." ”
Xi Ze nodded.
Liu Jingye's card looks like a good card, but it is external, not internal. It seems that this kind of major diplomatic matter, he didn't discuss it with the ministers of the court at all, and even concealed it, and it seems that no emperor has done this throughout the ages, right? What would the three great scholars in front of the Han court, the six scholars, and the hundred officials and ministers think in their hearts?
This was the case with the war against the Confederation before, and then the decisive battle of the century between Song Weiming, Huo Yuhu, and Wise, and now it is still the same with foreign countries. People say that things are not enough, Liu Jingye has repeatedly treated the ministers as non-existent, how to do what he wants, is this governing the country, or playing a family?
Xi Ze said: "I don't know how the Confederate side will respond." With Liu Jingye's temperament, in order to achieve his goal, I am afraid that there is nothing he can't do. Prepare for the worst, now the problem of the Gaik ape has not been solved, in case the wolf is lured into the house......" Nishien said: "When I think that the future of mankind may be in the hands of a mentally retarded person, I feel that this world is really hopeless." ”
Mentally retarded, this is Xiyuan Wei's evaluation of the Han Emperor!
Sure enough, that evening, the network between the Han Dynasty and the Confederation was temporarily connected, and urgent news was also broadcast on television: Zhou Ya, chairman of the Confederation Hua District, would temporarily visit the Han Empire to exchange views on the peaceful development of the two countries, and strive to resolve the misunderstanding between the two countries through peaceful negotiations.
Knowing this result, Xi Ze couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this Chairman Zhou is really bold enough to dare to visit the Han Empire in this extraordinary period - of course, it may also be the decision of the Confederate Congress, even if Chairman Zhou is unwilling to come, he has to come to the Han Empire for the sake of the overall situation.
"That's not good." Xiyuan sighed and said to Xi, "Liu Jingye is obviously coercing the Mesomians to force the Confederation to submit. Leave aside the rest for the time being, in case Liu Jingye threatens to hand over Xi Zejun......"
Using imperial power to avenge personal revenge, this kind of thing Liu Jingye can't do - not to mention, Xi Ze is the recognized murderer of the first emperor in the Han Empire, this is a national feud, and forcing the Confederacy to hand over Xi Ze can be said to be completely fine.
Xiyuan pouted and said, "What are you afraid of?" If Liu Jingye really wants to do this, let's just hide and ignore him? ”
Xi Zhi is silent. What Xi Yuanwei said is very right, it makes sense, Liu Jingye dares to play this set of yin casually, can't he just hide and not go out? But is it really all right to do so?
……
While all the noise outside was confined to silence, and the sensation caused by the arrival of the Mesomians cooled slightly, the political hall of the imperial palace was full of commotion.
"Your Majesty, don't ......"
"Your Majesty, if you are not from my people, your heart will be different, Your Majesty, please think twice......"
"The old minister begs His Majesty to take back his order! This move will do more harm than good! ”
Liu Jingye sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face.
The last time the hall was so lively was when he was in full advocacy of war against the Confederacy. At that time, it was the same, a bunch of annoying guys were making a lot of noise, and they didn't even have time to speak, and their brains hurt.
"Quiet, quiet, quiet!" Liu Jingye's voice was higher than the other, and finally it was directly the dragon case, and he jumped up angrily, and now the political hall finally quieted down, "This is the political hall, not the vegetable market, what are you thinking about noisy?" What to say one by one! ”
After Liu Jingye sat down again, Shao Wenqing, one of the three scholars in front of the palace, stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it is prudent to deal with the Mesomians in the state, and not to make decisions lightly. The ministers and others were lonely and unheard, and the ministers knew little about their culture, society, military strength, customs, etc. As the saying goes, only by knowing oneself can one survive a hundred battles......"
Liu Jingye interrupted: "Shao Aiqing, you are too worried. The Mesomians are not many light years away from us, and without the teleportation circle, with their level of technology, even if they are given a thousand years, they may not be able to fight. And all the teleportation arrays in the Han Empire have been controlled by us, so there is no need to worry. ”
Shao Wenqing paused and said, "Your Majesty must have been in contact with the Mesomians for a long time, and he must have all the information on them in his hands. ”
Liu Jingye said: "This is okay. Later, I will have someone send it to your 'Qiankun Lingyu'. However, I have already established diplomatic relations with the Mesomians, and this move will be of great benefit to our Han dynasty. Not to mention anything else, as soon as the Confederacy heard that we were dealing with the Mesomians, they immediately couldn't sit still. It shows that they are afraid in their hearts. Moreover, the Confederacy had long been associated with the Mesomians, and had acquired some technology from them that we did not possess. At the technical level, we are already behind the Confederacy, one step behind, one step behind, and I have gone to great lengths to bring in the Mesomians, so don't let my hard work go to waste. ”
"Your Majesty......" Shi Weiyong, another scholar in front of the palace, said: "If it is just a trade and technology exchange with the Mesomians, the old minister naturally has no objection. However, it is too risky to allow each other to send troops to each other, and I ask Your Majesty to retract the order. ”
Liu Jingye said: "This one has his own plans. Shi Aiqing is a civil servant, and I'm afraid I'm not good at this military matter, so don't worry too much. Everything I do is to strengthen my big man, and I will never harm the slightest benefit of my big man. Well, the negotiation with the Mesomians is in charge of a special department, so you Aiqing don't have to worry about it. That's all for today. ”
After speaking, Liu Jingye shook his hand and left, his back was dashing.
A group of ministers stared at each other in the hall.
"This ...... This ......," the third scholar in front of the palace smashed his palm with the back of his hand, crackling, "how is this good?" ”
"How's that good?" Shao Wenqing let out a long sigh, "Your Majesty, this is 'cut first and then played', and you are determined to establish a strategic alliance with the Mesomians, unless we use the veto power...... Alas, even so, I am afraid that it may not be able to discourage His Majesty. ”
A courtier with a strong personality said: "This is clearly a traitor!" This big man is his Liu family, yes, but it's also ......" Before he finished speaking, someone covered his mouth, "Brother Liu is cautious, cautious!" ”
At this time, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu said: "Otherwise, let's go meet the queen?" Maybe she can make His Majesty change his mind? As he spoke, he looked at Lu Dongbin, the secretary of the military department, who had been "diving and hanging up" throughout the whole process. Previously, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu pleaded with Lu Jinfu, which was surprisingly effective, and kept the appearance of one of his important sons and nephews, because he was also impressed by the queen's mother.
Many people also looked at Lu Dongbin, but the old man lowered his head as if he hadn't heard it, as if he was looking for ants on the ground.
"Looking for the Queen's Mother? I'm only afraid of ......."
It's not in line with the etiquette system, but it's the Ministry of Etiquette who puts forward the opinion.
The secretary of the Ministry of Rites said a lot of twists and turns like a lotus flower, trying to make his proposal of "finding the queen's mother" reasonable, and finally expressed a meaning: "A dead horse should be a live horse doctor!" ”
The three scholars in front of the palace at the head of the hundred officials, you look at me, I look at you, nodding helplessly, or acquiescing. These three civil officials actually have different political opinions, and they used to fight back and forth, but now they don't even have the mood to fight politically, so let's quickly solve this problem.
