Chapter 250: The Emperor's Cooperation
The imperial capital of the Han Dynasty is very lively, today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the day of worshipping the holy temple.
In the Han Empire, there are two large-scale sacrificial activities every year, one is the Spring Festival and the other is the Midyear Festival.
The sound of ritual music sounded, on both sides were guards armed with bright swords and guns, and the emperor Liu Qi, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, walked in the front, surrounded by the same dressed prince Liu Rong and a group of ministers, slowly walked into the holy temple and walked towards the highest altar.
There were two small heads of one person, one beast and two small heads squeezed out from the crowd next to him, it was Liu Yuying and Xiaoqiu who were dressed as men, because Liu Yuying was a girl and underage, and she couldn't appear in the sacrificial ground according to the etiquette, so she secretly came over to see the excitement.
"Maki, why are you here and still dressed like this?" Dongfang Yixue grabbed her belt from behind.
The little girl turned around and said with a smile: "It's too boring to stay in the palace, come out to breathe, the imperial grandfather and father don't allow me to come, I can only disguise." Anyway, Sister Dongfang's eyes are really poisonous, I thought no one would recognize me. ”
In order to achieve the effect of being fake, she put a mustache on the middle of the person, which at first glance looks very similar to an ordinary young man.
Dongfang Yixue pointed at Xiaoqiu and said, "I recognized you when I saw it first." ”
Liu Yuying smiled bitterly: "Mistake, I didn't expect it to expose my identity, think about it, a boy holding a pet is so conspicuous, how can it not attract attention, you can't take Xiaoqiu." "The most // fast // more // new // on // in
"Chirp!" Xiaoqiu protested.
While the two were talking, the emperor had already ascended the high platform and began to recite the sacrificial text aloud.
The sacrificial text is very long, nothing more than singing praises for the ancestors, plus begging the gods to continue to protect the Han and maintain the dominance of the Liu family forever, etc.
The emperor read for half an hour, and finally finished reading, casually handed the sacrificial text to the eunuch next to him, and announced loudly: "Just taking advantage of this priest's hall, I have a major event to announce, after the New Year's Festival, I will send a large army to sweep away the bandits in the southern mountains, and solve the southern problems that have plagued the Han for thousands of years.
Because of the New Year's holiday, the officials have not been to the court for five consecutive days, and the emperor is using this opportunity to discuss the matter of the southern expedition.
The prince spoke first: "The Nanshan thieves have harassed the Han Dynasty for many years, causing the people of the south to suffer unspeakably, and the Nanshan thieves are no longer a disease of scabies, but a great trouble for our country.
Then several close ministers spoke, and like the crown prince, they first denounced the southern bandits, then praised the emperor's move to raise troops, and finally expressed their approval.
Of course, there were also different voices, and a third-grade senior member stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter of conquering the south should not be rushed, the Nanshan thieves have existed in the world for thousands of years, and they have more than 600,000 thieves and soldiers, and they are guarding the Nanshan with the complex terrain. Although my Han has tens of millions of soldiers, but there is Rong Dixi in the north, Qin in the south, and the southern barbarians, the forces of all parties are eyeing each other, and the other three parties will definitely take advantage of the fire to rob together, and we have to face four strong enemies, and the probability of victory is very small, which will inevitably lead to the misery of the soldiers. ”
Immediately, another minister stood up and said: "Weichen reconsidered, the emperors have conquered Nanshan many times, and in the end they all returned in vain, and a few times they let the Nanshan thieves have the upper hand, and the Great Qin Nanban and Rongdi people also took the opportunity to reap a lot of benefits." The lessons of history are vivid, please don't use swords and soldiers, defeat is a small matter, in case it hurts the vitality of the Han Empire, the strong enemies rush up, and my Han country is difficult to protect. ”
Liu Yuying, who was standing behind, said angrily: "A group of timid civil officials who are afraid of death, as long as there is a war, they will do their best to make peace, saying that they don't want to see the lives ruined, in fact, they are afraid of death." ”
Dongfang Yixue said with a smile: "The martial master fights the civil master, this is a normal thing, I think it has nothing to do with the fear of death, Yun Yang once said that the job of civil officials is to govern the sky, and only under peaceful conditions can they show their talents and obtain the achievements of promotion; This is because these two completely different views have created a difference in the thinking of military generals and civil servants. ”
Liu Yuying pouted, and said with some reluctance: "I didn't expect him to see it quite clearly." ”
Then several civil officials raised objections, all fearing that they would lose the battle or return in vain, wasting money and money.
The emperor was not angry, he kept a smile on his face, and when the ministers finished expressing their opinions, he said aloud: "I am very pleased that the ministers are loyal to the monarch and the country, and I am very pleased to put forward so many opinions. I might as well tell you that at this time, Nanshan has become a mess of porridge, and the thief king Chai Haitao is wantonly slaughtering the generals in his royal city, and the morale of the Nanshan thieves is low, and it is a good opportunity for us to attack on a large scale! I can tell you very responsibly that Nanshan will lose at least half of the generals before the war, what kind of behavior is this, it is taking the initiative to die, what reason do we have not to fight them?"
The ministers exchanged heads, many people were suspicious of the emperor's words, and the king of thieves was not stupid, how could he kill the ministry before the war?
But even if they were suspicious, they did not dare to raise objections, and the emperor's words were unquestionable.
"Okay, I have decided to send troops, all ministers and generals will listen to the order, and all officials above the second rank will gather in the imperial study tomorrow morning to discuss the matter of conquering the south. The Emperor said in an unquestionable tone.
The ceremony ended.
......
Ye Yunyang enthusiastically invited Zhuge Yingqi into his small courtyard, made a cup of fragrant tea for her, and brought it to her.
Looking at him with a smile on his face, Zhuge Yingqi said angrily: "As the old saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you are either a traitor or a thief, what the hell are you doing?"
"I can't help but have some other thoughts, all of them are said to be treacherous, am I so unbearable?" Ye Yunyang put away his smile and asked rhetorically: "Then does Senior Sister want me to rape or let me steal?"
"You ......" the beauty was not light, and hummed: "If you have something to say, my time is precious, and there are many important things waiting for me to deal with." ”
Ye Yunyang sat in front of her with a smile and said, "Senior sister, don't worry, we haven't had a good chat since we realized it, and now you and I are partners, we should be more honest with each other, shouldn't we?"
Hearing this, the beauty was not angry, and asked in a very meaningful tone: "What is the frank method?"
Ye Yunyang said seriously: "I think first of all, we should trust the other party thoroughly and do nothing without concealing anything, and the second and most important point is to explain our identity and mission to the other party." ”
The beauty stared at his face for a few seconds: "Okay, you explain first." ”
Ye Yun raised his eyebrows: "Mingren doesn't say dark words, you dare to tell my bottom line?"
Zhuge Yingqi really behaved very frankly: "It's clear, including your origin, how you made your family, and the purpose of coming to Nanshan, I know everything." ”
In Ye Yunyang's expectation, he believed that Zhuge Yingqi must have mastered all the information that could be found, and his understanding of him would definitely be no less than Liu Yuying, and even comparable to Dongfang Yixue, far more than the two sworn friends Wu Junyan and Yin Zishi.
Of course, there were several confidential things that she couldn't know, such as his soul coming from the future world, the "Breaking the Cultivation Law" and the area of the sea and so on.
He spread his hands: "That's not over, you know my situation well, strictly speaking, I am very honest with you, now it's your turn, I don't know much about your situation, so you have to be honest, so it's fair." ”
The beauty's eyebrows turned into crooked crescents, and she said with a smile: "I found out about you, and you didn't take the initiative to explain it, so I don't need to explain anything to you, I can check it myself if I want to know." ”
Your sister is really a girl who can't get into the water, and he has to admit that he underestimated her IQ. As a qualified infiltrator, you need to do two things, the first is to do everything possible to inquire about information, and the second is to do your best to hide your identity, "How can I check?" He widened his eyes and said: "Do you also plant spies around me like you, I, Wang Qiliang, am a principled person, and I will never do anything indiscriminate." ”
"Really?" Zhuge Yingqi smiled: "I don't know what kind of person Wang Qiliang is, and I'm not interested in knowing, I just need to know who Ye Yunyang is, right?"
He has played so many tricks with Zhuge Yingqi, he has only failed twice, the first time was to go to Beitu Xiangtang to kill Zhao Qiankun, and the second time is now, you must know that in the past, he played with his ancestors and grandchildren, but now there is no way at all.
I really miss the ten tortures, if it weren't for the fact that you are a partner, I would have to let you taste it, he thought hatefully.
In order to be able to get out of her words, Ye Yunyang decided to fight and proposed: "In this way, I'll tell you a few things that others don't know, in exchange for you telling me your identity, how about it?"
Zhuge Yingqi shook his head: "I already know everything I should know about you, and I don't have any interest in what I shouldn't know." ”
Ye Yunyang was about to go crazy, this girl was so difficult to deal with, and hummed: "Then we have nothing to talk about, aren't you very busy, you can go, don't send ...... Bye-bye!"
The beautiful woman didn't mean to stand up at all, took a sip of the teacup, and praised: "Good tea!" I suddenly thought that today's work has been done, so I am not busy at all, and I plan to sit here for a while longer. ”
Ye Yunyang was so angry in his heart, his eyes rolled to the bone: "You really don't want to know my secret?" If you want to hear it, I can tell you unconditionally, but the premise is that you want to hear it. ”
The beautiful woman put the teacup and said, "Well, I want to hear it." ”
"Do you really want to hear it?"
"I really want to hear it!"
He sat up straight and said word by word: "Listen, my biggest secret is a virgin and a man...... Why, you don't believe it, why don't you try it?"
"Ye Yunyang, look at the sword!"
"Rub, are you a sword, it's obviously a willow leaf boomerang, and it almost pierced my neck!"
"You stop me, I'm going to pierce your neck. ”
“......”
The tranquility in the small courtyard was broken, and it rose directly to the level of chickens flying and dogs jumping.
