Chapter 150: Two Women Join Forces
The two women of the ancient country of Loulan have joined forces, and things are much easier, and there is a plan for the personnel and labor problem to support the infrastructure of Qishan.
The four of them all thought that it was very feasible, so there were matters to discuss, that is, the ancient country of Loulan had a caravan of the Han Dynasty to enter the city anytime and anywhere, and the soldiers of the Han Dynasty protected it under the city.
Everyone in the imperial study began to think about it again, the four of them can be said to be complicated and divergent at the beginning, but slowly the four of them stopped being stubborn, and began to consider the political opinions of others, and after the precipitation of thinking, they made the final decision, which was to support the Qishan infrastructure personnel to go out of the city for the deadline, and count back a month.
Of course, half a month is a stage, the first half of the month can allow the Han Dynasty caravan to enter and exit Loulan City anytime and anywhere, for the deployment and replenishment of materials, the second half of the month to the ancient country of Loulan before the country, it is necessary to limit the Han Dynasty caravan, secretly only allowed to enter, to be knocked after entering, in order to ensure the comprehensive hoarding of materials, ready for the need to move the country, so that there is a material guarantee and the plan to move the country is not known by the Han Dynasty in advance, in order to ensure that the major event of moving the country can be completed.
Of course, according to the current situation and attitude of the Han Dynasty towards the ancient kingdom of Loulan, the sooner Loulan moved to the country, the safer, and the time limit should be one month at the best, and not more than forty days at the latest.
The deadline for moving to the country is set, Lan Qi'er, Mrs. Hu and the eunuch messenger are all excited in their hearts, because the ancient country of Loulan has been founded by the Peacock River to the present, although the living environment of the people has been greatly improved according to the nomadic Gobi Desert, no longer disturbed by the wind and sand, and there is a stable place, but the weakness of the country cannot be changed, and it is not able to change the oppression and discrimination by the powerful countries, and it can be said that the ancient country of Loulan is a country without dignity.
Now it's okay, but there is hope, there is dawn, and the days when the people will not be oppressed will finally have a date to count, and the four of them have a happy smile on their faces for a while.
The four people in the imperial study began to assign tasks, each doing their duty, Lan Qi'er was ready to understand that the Holy Decree Emperor List of the Early Dynasty, of course, was in the name of recruiting prospectors (secretly recruiting Qishan labor), Madame Hu's task was very simple was to no longer have differences with Lan Qi'er, and to control the ministers of her faction with all her might, and obey Lan Qi'er's orders at any time.
The duties of a great eunuch are more complex. On the one hand, it is necessary to assist the Praetorian Guards in controlling the affairs of the harem and the imperial palace, and secondly, to send special personnel to assist the Praetorian Guards in controlling every move in the palace of Wang Guifei.
The duties of the messenger were, on the one hand, to obey the holy decree of Lan Qi's son, and on the other hand, to inform General Yu Lan of the actual situation of the ancient kingdom of Loulan and the decision of the court, so that he could prepare to receive laborers who went to Qishan, and make all preparations for the relocation of Loulan to the country in January.
The four of them each had a task, of course, on the premise of secrecy, and went out of the imperial study separately.
Although Lan Qi'er is now the emperor of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, this is only a title in the court, and it has not been spread in the entire ancient country, and the people did not know it for a while, and she brought a large amount of silver taels accompanied by her palace maids.
The group waited out of the harem, went straight to several blacksmith shops in the city, ordered all the iron ingots in the blacksmith shop, and took out the drawings that his father gave to Lan Qier last time, the intention was obvious, that is, to let the blacksmiths look at the drawings and make tools for civil construction and farming. The blacksmiths happily agreed, and began to work in full.
Madame Hu returned to her palace courtyard and immediately ordered the little eunuchs, ordered all the pro-faction ministers, and entered the harem to discuss matters.
Mrs. Hu and her relatives sent ministers from the early dynasty, it can be said that they are very surprised, Lan Qi'er is sitting on the emperor, this is like acting, the emperor Anshan is the son of the queen mother, although there is Wang Guifei to take the strength of the Han Dynasty to press, but it can be clearly seen above the court, Anshan gave way to even the queen mother does not know, Loulan's current situation is really changeable, and he will have to be more mindful in the court in the future, because now on the one hand, he has to cater to Lan Qier, and on the other hand, he has to look at the movements of the queen mother.
With the little eunuchs entering the ministers' mansions and passing on the queen mother's decree, the pro-ministers can say whatever they want, the queen mother will definitely try her best to push Lan Qi'er, and she will definitely re-embrace An Shan into the court, what can you do if you are forced by the Han Dynasty, you should choose, that is, when you become the county of the Han Dynasty, that is also with absolute rights, the emperor is still the emperor, the queen mother is still the queen mother, the establishment of the ancient kingdom of Loulan will not become, to put it bluntly, it is said to be the county of the Han Dynasty, that is just a vassal country, what else!
The factional ministers wanted to see the queen mother's intentions, so they all entered the harem actively, listened to the queen mother's (Mrs. Hu) narration and political opinions, and deepened the queen mother's speech (of course, the topic is not to appear related to moving to the country).
The ministers all understood the political views and meanings of the queen mother, that is, now the ancient country of Loulan is facing the major event of the life and death of the country, for a while everyone should give up the faction, give up selfish desires, and the emperor will give way in peace, regardless of whether Lan Qier is suitable to be the emperor, now it depends on what ability Lan Qier, the emperor, can make the ancient country of Loulan go through this period of death and submission, whether it can keep the ancient country of Loulan, and whether it can save the people from disaster.
The ministers are more clear, the queen mother (Mrs. Hu) is no longer the controlling king, this time the ministers of the edict faction are to give up the power for a while, to focus on the overall situation, so they all expressed their attitude, of course, when the queen mother in front of the language, the language is to Mrs. Hu, respect the queen mother's will, if there is a sense of power, will fully support!
The long night passed in people's sleep, of course, there were people who slept soundly, there were people who had nightmares, the sun crossed the horizon, rose from the east, illuminated the desert, illuminated the city of Loulan by the Peacock River.
Lan Qi'er appeared on time above the court, the ministers in the court were all here, and Mrs. Hu (An Shan's mother, the queen mother) also appeared on time in the court, the only thing missing was the princess from the Han Dynasty, the chair has been withdrawn from the court, and now the court can be said to be all the people of the ancient country of Loulan.
Lan Qi'er signaled that the court meeting of the great eunuch Xue could begin, and the eunuch said: Ministers, the emperor has a decree, this morning the court did not listen to the recital, the public discussed the direction of the ancient country of Loulan, whether it was broken by the strength of the Han Dynasty and surrendered, or to seek the dignity of the country, tough confrontation, is the public opinion, is to ask every minister to express their opinions, this political discussion is not right or wrong, you can express it according to your own opinion.
In fact, the emperor Lan Qier didn't care about the opinions of the ministers, no matter what the ministers said, moving the country was a nail on the board, but the court meeting could not have nothing to do, so he directly issued a holy decree to recruit laborers to explore and prospect for minerals (in fact, to recruit laborers to enter Qishan to build a city).
Mrs. Hu knew it in her seat, and knew that Lan Qi'er was doing superficial articles, so she first expressed her political opinions, and published the content of the previous conversation with Lan Qi'er in the court, that is, although Wang Guifei is now using the Han Dynasty to force the ancient kingdom of Loulan, there is only one purpose, hoping that the ancient kingdom of Loulan can surrender, and it is better not to fight.
The ministers must think that if the ancient country of Loulan does not surrender, the Han Dynasty really overwhelms the city, what will happen, they have not thought of the origin of Wang Guifei, what does the purpose represent, in fact, it can be clearly analyzed that the Han Dynasty is strong, it is possible to destroy the ancient country of Loulan, it can be done, why not use the army, the Han Dynasty also does not want to move the army, the army is to consume national strength, it is to fight and die.
My Loulan ancient country is weak, but there is a city as a support, is able to do a moment and a half of combat, the Han army in this moment and a half, the proportion of casualties of the army is higher than that of our army, is several times higher, the Han Dynasty will not know, send Wang Guifei to marry, is to do not use troops and achieve its national purpose, my Loulan ancient country temporarily ignore it, and strive to accelerate the strength, but may prompt the Han Dynasty to really give up the army, Wang Guifei has been expelled from the court by the emperor, has been controlled in the harem, blocking the good news, it is completely okay, I can buy more time, the time when the ancient kingdom of Loulan is strong, my political opinion is finished, please give your opinions!
All the ministers in the court understood and understood the meaning of Mrs. Hu's words, and thought that there was still some truth, of course, there were also different opinions, because the Han Dynasty would always contact Wang Guifei, if there was no contact, who could guarantee that the Han Dynasty would not really move troops, and the consequences of moving troops would be terrible!
Lan Qi'er heard the meaning of Madame Hu (the former Empress Dowager), which was to lead out the holy decree she was going to make, that is, Madame Hu said that she would ignore the toughness of the Han Dynasty and work hard to make the ancient kingdom of Loulan strong.
The ancient country of Loulan wants to strengthen the country, and the people of the country know that the pillar industries of national strength are animal husbandry and minerals.
Lan Qi'er said at this time: Mrs. Hu's political views coincide with me, I have a holy decree, so I signaled that the eunuch can announce the holy decree.
Eunuch Xue then said loudly, the holy decree is given...
The ministers in the court knelt on the ground one after another.
The eunuch said: Loulan ancient country power resources are not animal husbandry and minerals, animal husbandry relies on the grass around the Peacock River, but the minerals are different, can be explored and mined, so the special strong country holy decree, today the whole city posted the holy decree of the emperor, in Loulan City to recruit three hundred exploration personnel, out of the city to explore minerals, for a month, all the outside of the state to bear, the cost of working hours is preferential, Xiangyin one or two a day, if there are large mineral discoveries, rich in praise, its matter is a national act, the safety of explorers do not need to be considered, Qin this.
The ministers heard Lan Qi'er's new decree, and they were all thinking in their hearts, Wang Guifei used the strength of the Han Dynasty to force the emperor to give way, this Lan Qi'er succeeded to the throne, and even ignored it, and even recruited prospectors, ignoring Wang Guifei's pressure, and now Wang Guifei has suddenly disappeared from the Han Dynasty and lost contact, can the Han Dynasty ignore it? Don't you send someone to investigate?
