Chapter 203: A Million Army!
"Actually rewarded a Saint Yuan Pill?"
Zhao Lin's expression was slightly surprised.
The Saint Yuan Dan can improve the cultivation of the powerhouses below the six-rank great master.
The best candidate for this elixir is naturally a hero.
If Xiongba takes the Shengyuan Pill, he can reach the realm of the Sixth Rank Grand Master.
"This Saint Yuan Pill has solved the current urgent need. ”
A gleam flashed in Zhao Lin's eyes.
If Xiongba becomes a six-rank grand master, even if the master of Kunlun Mountain appears, he should have the power to deal with it, right?
"Call Cao Zhengchun. ”
Zhao Lin's eyes looked at the eunuch next to him.
"Yes. ”
The eunuch immediately walked out of the main hall.
Zhao Lin glanced at the jade bottle containing the Saint Yuan Dan in his hand.
With this thing, the crisis of the Tianxia Society should be worry-free, and there is no need for him, the emperor, to go out in person.
......
Following.
Jinluan Palace, above the court.
The ministers entered the temple in turn.
After the opening of the dynasty, the head of the household department stood up and bowed his hand to Zhao Lin: "Your Majesty, the minister has lowered the price of official salt according to your instructions, and has issued documents to officials at all levels, and it will soon be uniformly implemented throughout the country." ”
Zhao Lin on the throne of the dragon chair nodded.
But the other officials were stunned.
Lowering the price of official salt?
The imperial court has lost a lot of income.
However, since His Majesty has already decided like this, they naturally have no reason to say anything.
Everything should be judged by His Majesty.
Under His Majesty, there is also a Zhuge Prime Minister who must bow down to everything, and in terms of government affairs, it is basically impossible for there to be any big mistakes.
After the ministers finished playing, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu walked out, bowed to Zhao Lin, and said, "Your Majesty, the Persian envoys are asking to see you outside the palace." ”
"Persian envoys?"
Zhao Lin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard these four words.
Persia is a country located in the west of the Great Song Dynasty, and its national strength is very strong, but there has always been no diplomatic exchanges between the Great Song Dynasty and Persia.
Unexpectedly, it is strange that this Persia would suddenly send an envoy here.
"Declare them in. ”
As the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty, Zhao Lin waved his hand lightly with the mentality of embracing the four seas.
Zhao Lin now has the idea of opening a port and trading with foreign countries, so he is still a little interested in this Persian coming.
It would be better to do business with this Persia and make Persian money.
Later, under the guidance of the eunuchs, Zhao Lin saw a group of envoys in strange costumes and entered the Jinluan Palace.
"The Persian envoy Alda, meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
The Persian envoy headed by him, with a long beard and a fierce appearance, after entering the hall, he thought of Zhao Lin on the dragon chair and bowed.
"Flat. ”
Zhao Lin waved his hand, "Your envoy has traveled thousands of miles from Persia to my Great Song Dynasty, and he has worked hard all the way. ”
"What His Majesty the Emperor said, this envoy is just on the order of our Persian queen to come to greet the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
The Persian envoy bowed to Zhao Lin again.
"Go back and greet your Persian queen on my behalf, and say that my Great Song Dynasty is rich in products and has everything, and you Persian merchants are welcome to do business with our merchants of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Zhao Lin said lightly.
"His Majesty's words will be brought to me next. ”
The Persian envoy nodded, thinking to himself that His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be very interested in trade.
But unfortunately, he did not come here for trade.
It's for the bigger things.
As soon as he thought of this, the eyes of the Persian envoy also suddenly flashed with a gleam, and he said: "Your Majesty, this envoy was ordered by the Persian queen to come this time to bring a message to Your Majesty on behalf of the queen. ”
"Tell me about it. ”
Zhao Lin's face was calm and said.
However, the Persian envoy spoke loudly: "What crime has the lord of the Tibetan state committed? Your Majesty wants to seize his country and destroy his society?"
"This king only has one sentence to tell the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to return the hometown of Tubo to the lord of Tubo as soon as possible and restore the Tubo country to its original state. ”
"Otherwise, Persia will not sit idly by. ”
The words of the Persian envoys spread throughout the temple of Jinluan.
The faces of all the civil and military officials changed.
Return the homeland of Tubo to the lord of Tubo, otherwise he will no longer stand idly by?
Listening to this meaning, this Persia is planning to support the lord of Tibet, and will it not make a comeback?
"Joke!"
Before Zhao Lin could speak, in the court, the secretary of the military department stood up and sneered: "The lord of the Tubo country tried to invade my Great Song Dynasty with all his might, but he didn't succeed in stealing chickens and rice, and was finally exterminated by the army of my Great Song Dynasty, which is really deserved." ”
"Today's Tubo has become the land of my Great Song Dynasty, how can it be justified to spit out the meat that is eaten in my mouth?"
The gaze of the military department Shangshu was like a knife, staring at the Persian envoy.
"That's right, if you eat the meat in your mouth, there is no reason to spit it out. ”
The Persian queen had put her hand too far. This is the internal affairs of my Great Song Dynasty, and the Queen of Persia has no right to interfere. ”
"The Queen of Persia knows that my Great Song Dynasty is now ruling the world, and if you go against our Great Song Dynasty, there will be no good end, so it's better to think clearly. ”
“......”
Many officials of the Great Song Dynasty above this court are all said by you and me.
However, for the refutation of the ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, the Persian envoy showed a smile of disdain on his face.
He looked at the eyes of the ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, as if he was looking at an idiot, shook his head and said, "It seems that you still don't know how strong the national strength of our Persian Empire is. ”
"Our Persian Empire is a vast country, with countless people and an army of millions, invincible and proud of the world. ”
"Although your Great Song Dynasty can be regarded as rich and powerful, compared with our Persian Empire, the gap is more than a star and a half?"
Hearing the words of the Persian envoys, many officials of the Great Song Dynasty were silent.
An army of millions!
That's a pretty scary number!
Judging from the number of troops alone, Persia did crush the Great Song Dynasty.
In today's Great Song Dynasty, the total number of troops in all places is probably about 500,000.
Only half of this Persian Empire.
How could the ministers of the Great Song Dynasty have thought that there would be such a strong neighbor on the western continent?
This Persian Empire has become so strong?
"Moreover, the lord of Tibet has not only won the sympathy of our Persian queen, but he has also received the support of the kings of the Great Food and the kings of Tianzhu. ”
The Persian envoy said coldly: "If the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty does not listen to the advice of our queen, the Persian Empire will join forces with Da Shi and Tianzhu to dispatch an army of 2.5 million to launch an eastern crusade!"
"What, two and a half million troops?"
All of a sudden, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty gasped one after another, and then a trace of panic swelled up on their faces.
Two and a half million troops!
That's an astronomical amount!
What kind of concept will the 2.5 million army put together?
I'm afraid that a single person can drown a city alive with a mouthful of spit!
