Chapter 269: The envoy assassinated the Chitang Emperor, and the empire was furious and talked about peace again

Last time, it was said that there was a civil strife in the Shun Yuan Empire at this time, because he was dissatisfied with the emperor Yuan Hong's cession of land, his younger brother Yuan Yang Wang Yuan Che abolished Yuan Hong, established himself as the emperor, and cleaned up the court on a large scale, and a large number of traitorous ministers were executed. Suddenly, the morale and popular hearts of the entire Shunyuan Empire began to gather. It's just that the Shunyuan Empire, which has now experienced war and suffered a great loss in strength, is no longer able to support another war.

For Yuan Che, ceding territory is the most humiliating thing for him, but now, he has to endure the humiliation, he can only watch the Chitang Empire continue to move people to the land ceded by their country, he knows the ambitions of the Chitang Empire, and knows that the Chitang Empire wants to slowly encroach on the Shunyuan Empire, so he is determined to establish a firm alliance with the Liechu Empire and the Youyun Empire. However, they also knew that the current Chitang Empire was already a thriving empire, and even if their three empires were combined, their strength could not match that of the Chitang Empire. However, as long as they can truly unite, the Chitang Empire will still be afraid.

As everyone knows, for their actions, as the emperor of the Chitang Empire, Duanmu Gang, that is, Zhou Shuyu, he had already guessed the alliance between their three parties. At this time, he was looking at the map, looking at the three empires that were trying to ally with each other, and his eyes were full of a faint mockery. Although the three empires are allied, they are intrigued with each other, and even if they are allies, they cannot truly be of one heart and one mind.

On the first day of the first month of the 34th year of Duanning, the envoys of the Liechu Empire arrived belatedly, and they brought the emperor a map of the northeast land of 8,000 li that the Liechu Empire was preparing to cede to the Chitang Empire.

However, when the envoy of the Liechu Empire named Xiang Ke came to the front of the Chitang Empire, Xiang Ke said lightly: "Your Majesty, the emperor of the Liechu Empire sent Weichen to come and dedicate land to Your Majesty, and all the land in the northeast of the Liechu Empire was ceded to the Chitang Empire. I wonder if Your Majesty is looking at the map? ”

However, Duanmu Gang just frowned, he looked at the very humble looking envoy in front of him, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, "Hmph! It's just an angry young man of the Xiang royal family, who wants to provoke disputes between the two countries again through this kind of assassination. However, this opportunity is really good. ”

Therefore, Duanmu Gang said lightly: "Oh, but, I heard that the land within a radius of eight thousand miles in your northeast is basically a barren land, and there are no people for thousands of miles, such a place is ceded to the Chitang Empire, do you think our Chitang Empire is a fool?" ”

It's just that Xiang Ke said: "Your Majesty, although there are thousands of miles of people here, it is a fertile field!" Coupled with the dense river network, His Majesty can move people here, and after reclamation, this place will definitely become the granary of the Chitang Empire. ”

Duanmu Gang looked at this envoy coldly, Xiang Ke was afraid that it was difficult for Xiang Ke to imagine that when the emperor drove the expedition in person, he had already risked danger and personally investigated the situation of the eight thousand miles of land in the northeast of the Liechu Empire, and when he saw this place, he immediately liked this place, after all, although this place is deserted, as long as it is in his hands, it will only be operated for five years, and he can turn this place into the granary of the empire.

However, after all, this is a means for the Liechu Empire to fool people, after all, most of this kind of peace talks are ceded to fertile land with large populations, but these two countries actually cede wasteland. Therefore, Duanmu Gang was naturally very dissatisfied, and seeing Duanmu Gang's dissatisfaction, Xiang Ke immediately said: "Your Majesty, at the same time, the emperor of my dynasty is willing to pay tribute, and at the same time pay tribute to 30,000 beauties to the Chitang Empire, as well as 30,000 taels of silver to your country every year, as well as a large number of treasures. ”

When Duanmu Gang heard this, he showed a happy look, and he naturally immediately said: "Okay, this is good, you come up and introduce the picture to me!" ”

Xiang Ke only felt that the opportunity had come, and he was stunned, and he never imagined that his behavior would bring more humiliating treaties to his empire.

When Xiang Ke held the map, slowly walked to Duanmu Ganglong's case, and slowly spread out the map in front of Duanmu Gang, Duanmu Gang sneered in his heart, this plot is really too familiar! Looking at the map slowly unfolding, it should be a poor dagger!

Sure enough, after the map was really spread, a short sword appeared in front of Duanmu Gang, and Xiang Ke immediately picked up the short sword and stabbed at Duanmu Gang. Originally, Xiang Ke thought that the emperor in front of him would definitely flee with his life, but he didn't think about it, as the short sword in his hand stabbed Duanmu Gang's chest, as the blood gushed out from the emperor's chest in front of him, blood splashed all over his cheeks, he suddenly collapsed to the ground, at this time, the ministers of the court did not expect this to be the case at all, they all pounced, and the forbidden army outside the hall also immediately entered the hall, grabbed Xiang Ke, and dragged him down. Xiang Ke, whose face was splashed with blood, finally figured out the question he doubted when he was dragged down by the forbidden army, and he suddenly felt guilty, his recklessness made his mother country fall into war again, and the Chitang Empire will definitely raise the strength of the whole country to take revenge, and their Liechu Empire will face the danger of losing the country. This Chitang Empire wanted to destroy his country, so he would rather accept his sword, only in this way could he become famous. However, he couldn't understand that as long as he had the act of assassination, he would already be famous! But why did this emperor accept this sword? Because of this sword, it will make the entire Chitang Empire indignant at the same time, and if it does not destroy their Liechu Empire, I am afraid that it will be unwilling.

Of course, he couldn't have imagined that the emperor of the Chitang Empire he assassinated had long been determined to die! It's just that he doesn't know. If he knew, he would never dare to assassinate him. He knew it in his heart clearly, his assassination operation, in fact, did not think about assassinating the emperor, but wanted to commit suicide, he wanted to tell the emperor that there were still generous people like him in the Liechu Empire, so that the emperor in front of him would be jealous. But now! His assassination is destined to be written in history, but it is not a so-called heroic act, but a disaster for the country. Originally, the Liechu Empire's cession of land would at least make the people of the Chitang Empire feel a little bullying. However, in this way, the weak image of the Liechu Empire is completely overshadowed by a despicable and shameless appearance, and at the same time, it will make the emperor, who already has the hearts of the people, even more angry with his country.

Sure enough, when the people of the Chitang Empire knew that their most beloved majesty had been assassinated by the assassins of the Liechu Empire, the whole country suddenly boiled. Soon, the army of the Chitang Empire, located on the border of the Liechu Empire, immediately received an edict and began to attack the Liechu Empire again.

Of course, when he learned that his father had been assassinated by the envoys of the Liechu Empire, he was so anxious that he immediately mounted his mount and rushed towards Kyoto.

I don't know how many horses died of exhaustion, he finally rushed to Kyoto and went straight to the palace, and when Takawa saw him, he immediately grabbed him. However, he said with tears streaming down his face: "Uncle Gao, how is my father? ”

Gao He looked at the crown prince in front of him and said lightly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty's health is very good." Although it is a poisonous sword that seals the throat with blood, His Majesty's cultivation is very strong, and he has already forced the poison out! Now, the queen is taking care of him. In addition, His Majesty has a will, and the crown prince will marry immediately, and immediately after that, he will be in charge of the country. ”

Duanmuzhen didn't think about imperial power at all at this time, he was thinking about his father's injury now. However, at this time, Gao He still insisted on refusing to let him see it.

And the queen mother, who had heard about the emperor's assassination, was naturally more anxious, and even a little angry, in her heart, did the emperor think about dying again? Is that dead woman worthy of the emperor's doing?

When she came to the emperor in person, she found that the emperor was lying on the bed reading a book, and there was no trace of injury.

In fact, when Xiang Ke stabbed at him with the short sword in his hand, Duanmu Gang really wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to end himself, but it wasn't until the short sword didn't even cut his skin that he realized what kind of strength his body had reached? Therefore, he took advantage of this opportunity to order the army of the Chitang Empire to attack the Liechu Empire again. Of course, he didn't plan to destroy the Liechu Empire, because it would be difficult to destroy this empire. Indeed, there are many people like Xiang Ke in the Liechu Empire who died generously, and if these people in this empire are forced to die, they will definitely die generously throughout the country, and the army of the Chitang Empire will definitely suffer heavy casualties. At that time, even if the Liechu Empire is destroyed, all that will be occupied will be dead cities, which will be of no value to the Chitang Empire at all. Therefore, this time the army attacked the Liechu Empire, but in fact, the order he gave to these frontier generals was to attack fiercely, but it was enough.

Seeing that His Majesty was so healthy, the queen was naturally relieved, and she was so smart that she suddenly remembered that this assassination must be an excellent opportunity.

As a result, just as Duanmu Gang expected, the emperor of the Liechu Empire could be regarded as hating Xiang Ke to death at this time! Not only did he punish the entire Xiang Ke clan, but he also constantly sent envoys, hoping to reopen peace talks.

At this time, although the generous people who died in the entire Liechu Empire were full of grief and indignation, they were nameless. In addition, the Liechu Empire preached everywhere that the army of the Chitang Empire had no offense and was disciplined, and won the hearts of the people of the entire Liechu Empire.

This naturally made these generous people of the Liechu Empire understand that they are now at a loss! Therefore, Xiang Ke was not only not regarded as a hero by the entire Liechu Empire, but was spurned.

In the end, the Liechu Empire really couldn't bear it! At the time of the wedding of His Royal Highness Duanmuzhen, the crown prince, an envoy for peace talks was sent.

As a result, the crown prince Duanmuzhen, who was angry with the Liechu Empire because of the assassination of his father, directly snubbed the envoys of the Liechu Empire. However, this time, the envoy sent by the Liechu Empire was named Xiang Huai, and this person himself was the lord and faction of the Liechu Empire, so he didn't care about the snub of the Chitang Empire at all.

Until, Duanmuzhen finally had a gloomy face, and after meeting him, he first confessed guilt, and then once again aggravated the conditions for peace talks. He opened his mouth and said: "This time, our Liechu Empire will not only cede eight thousand miles of land in the northeast, but also cede four thousand miles of land to the Liehai Province of the Chitang Empire. In addition, he paid tribute to 90,000 beauties of the Chitang Empire, and at the same time gave the Chitang Empire 90,000 taels of silver every year, as well as a large number of treasures. Therefore, I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ask Your Majesty to agree to the peace talks. ”

Duanmuzhen didn't show any good face at all, but it seemed that because of these conditions, he nodded.

After Xiang Huai left, Duanmu Zhen looked at his departing figure coldly, and had already set a deadline for the Liechu Empire to die.

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
