Chapter 675: The wolves look around
Nicholas dynasty, Pandeby.
After the fall of Ross, Howard, who had the power of the dragon, became the new leader of the nobility. As for the leader of the officials, it was still Fang Yun
Da, da, da! ——
Howard walked a little hurried to the chamber of Nicholas VII (Talem), and as soon as he entered the door, he said with a look of surprise: "Your Majesty, good news, good news, great news!" ”
Nicholas VII had a sad face, and when the pursuit of Zhang Jichuan and Taisia was declared a failure, His Majesty the new emperor was always very unhappy, and at the same time there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.
He always felt that the missing Tessia would be a great threat to him.
But now that Tessia was no longer in the Nicholas dynasty, or even in the Roentgen dynasty, Nicholas VII wanted to send someone to kill her, but he could not find any trace of her.
Therefore, for all this period of time, Nicholas VII's face was always clouded, so that the guards and maids did not dare to come out
Hearing Howard's words, Nicholas VII barely cheered up and looked at the other party, "Howard, what good news can make you happy like this?" ”
Howard bowed and saluted, and said in an excited tone, "Your Majesty, the minister has received news that Qiao Lisha, the former richest man in the Guyue Kingdom and the general agent of the opium trade, has poisoned the major cities of the Guyue Country, which has now paralyzed all the large and medium-sized cities of the Guyue Kingdom."
"What?" Nicholas VII stood up with a look of astonishment on his face and looked at Howard in disbelief, "Jolisa poisoned?" All large and medium-sized cities in the Ancient Moon Kingdom are paralyzed? ”
"Yes!" Howard said with a look of certainty, "Your Majesty doesn't need to doubt it, the minister has already sent someone to confirm the news." In addition, the minister also found out that the armies in all parts of the Guyue Kingdom were also devoured by the opium dropped by Qiao Lisha, and lost their combat effectiveness
"Your Majesty, the long-awaited situation of the first emperor has come true in your tenure!"
By the end, Howard's voice was shaking.
That's right, the current situation of the Ancient Moon Kingdom is the situation that Nicholas VI has been waiting for a long time, the majestic former emperor hopes to use opium to make most of the soldiers and civilians of the Ancient Moon Kingdom lose their resistance, and then they can annex the Ancient Moon Kingdom without blood.
This is why when Jiang Heng banned smoking, Nicholas VI decisively sent troops
But unexpectedly, a series of things happened later, Nicholas VI actually died, and the opium policy was completely abolished
Howard thought that Nicholas VI's strategy had failed, but who expected that the creation would make people, and the ancient moon country produced a Jolisa, and actually took the initiative to make the ancient moon country into the long-awaited appearance of Nicholas VI
Bang!
Nicholas VII slapped the table excitedly, "If that's the case, then"
"That's right!" Howard said, "Your Majesty, now is the perfect time to annex the Ancient Moon Kingdom. ”
"Great!" Nicholas VII was so excited that although he became emperor, a small part of the country was divided by the Roentgen dynasty, and it was a place of criticism after all.
If he can annex the Guyue Kingdom, then the land split by the Roentgen Dynasty will be nine years and one dime, and he will also leap from an unsuccessful king to a king who expands his territory.
But Nicholas VII was a little worried, "Howard Deqing, didn't you, Fang Qing, and Capeqing say that they want to recuperate now, if you move troops at this time?"
"Your Majesty, this time and that time!" Howard hurriedly said, "The reason for the truce with the Roentgen rebels is because the Roentgen rebels are strong and want to fight a long war, and our dynasty has just experienced a food shortage crisis, and it can't support a protracted war."
"It's different to annex the Ancient Moon Kingdom!
"At this time, the Guyue Kingdom is a fat sheep that can be slaughtered, and there is no power to fight back, my army can drive straight into it and take the entire Guyue Kingdom in one fell swoop!
"The opportunity is fleeting, if you don't seize this opportunity, it will be too late when the Gu Yue Kingdom has resolved the crisis."
Nicholas VII was puzzled: "The opium crisis can also be lifted in the country of Guyue?" ”
"Your Majesty, don't forget, Zhang Jichuan has returned to Guyue Kingdom," Howard reminded.
Hearing Zhang Jichuan's three words, Nicholas VII's face instantly became very ugly, and he smashed the table hatefully, "I forgot, Zhang Jichuan has a great relationship with Huang Donghe!"
"In that case, then gather the ministers, and I will expand the territory!"
Howard was overjoyed: "Yes! ”
"Your Majesty"
Hongji country, the capital Xihong, the imperial palace.
Qin Ziyu knelt on the ground in front of the ministers of Hongji Kingdom, and said with tears in his eyes, "What the minister just said is true, Li Luo's dog thief has made the people of Guyue miserable, and now it is even more difficult for the people of Guyue Country to fall into opium addiction and cannot extricate themselves......
"As a native of Guyue Country, the minister really can't bear to let the people of his homeland fall into such a miserable situation......
"Your Majesty is a virtuous king, who in the world does not know? The minister implored His Majesty to send troops to overthrow Li Luo's brutal rule and save the people of Guyue Kingdom from the dire situation......
"Your Majesty's great kindness, all the people of the Guyue Kingdom will definitely remember it, and the two countries will definitely be friendly for generations because of this, and compose a good story......
In the main hall, many officials of the Hongji Kingdom listened to Qin Ziyu's sonorous voice, and secretly pursed their lips, and the same thought invariably appeared in their hearts
Wasn't the Gu Trapped Opium introduced to the Guyue Kingdom by your father Qin Huaimin and his ally Zhou Chang? How did it become evidence of Li Luo's crime?
But no one said this idea, because ......
A white-haired old man stepped out of the ranks, bowed slightly to the tall and unangry Emperor Canghong on the throne, and said
"Your Majesty, what Ziyu said, the minister has confirmed that the current situation in the Guyue Kingdom is indeed not optimistic, all medium and large cities are paralyzed, and the relevant information has been summarized and reported to Your Majesty......"
When a court attendant beside Emperor Canghong heard this, he immediately handed a tablet computer to Emperor Canghong.
His Majesty the Emperor flipped through the pictures on the computer and looked up at the old man, "Xu Qing, do you also want me to send troops to regain power for your grandson?" ”
That's right, the white-haired old man is Qin Ziyu's grandfather, Grand Duke Xu Nan.
He nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it's true that Ziyu is the grandson of the minister, but the situation of the Guyue Kingdom is shocking, and it's not false.
"The minister hopes that Ziyu can regain the power that belongs to him in the Guyue Kingdom, but at the same time, he also hopes that the hundreds of millions of people in the Guyue Kingdom can get rid of the nightmare, and the two are not in conflict......
"Looking at the world, only Your Majesty can do this, and Your Majesty should already know Ziyu's personality, the Guyue Kingdom under his control is only good for our country, and there is no harm......
Emperor Canghong bowed slightly, but he didn't agree immediately, but asked the others, "What do you think?" ”
"Your Majesty!" A nobleman who served in the army immediately said, "The minister thinks that Duke Xu Nan is right, in the whole world, only my country can save the people of Guyue Kingdom." The minister implored His Majesty to agree to send troops to overthrow Li Luo's brutal rule and restore the ancient Yue Kingdom to a prosperous state. ”
"The minister agrees." An official in charge of taxation said, "Your Majesty, the people of the Ancient Moon Kingdom are in urgent need of salvation, please order the dispatch of troops." ”
"Please send troops to overthrow Li Luo!"
"Please Your Majesty send troops to save the Guyue Kingdom from fire and water!"
"Please send troops ...... Your Majesty"
"Please send troops ...... Your Majesty"
……
A smile appeared on Qin Ziyu's face, who was kneeling on the ground, and listening to the words of the officials of Hongji State, he felt for the first time that the day of defeating Li Luo and restoring the glory of the Qin family was ...... Not far away!
Jolisa, it's not in vain that my father trusted you so much, hahaha...... Qin Ziyu was excited in his heart.
But at this moment, he heard the voice of Emperor Canghong, "This matter is very important, you can't act rashly, let's retreat first......"
The smile on Qin Ziyu's face froze, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty......"
But Emperor Canghong had already turned around and returned to the harem......
The surrounding officials and nobles were a little surprised, but they didn't say much and left the court one after another.
Da, da.
A pair of shiny and gorgeous boots appeared in front of Qin Ziyu's eyes, and at the same time, Xu Nan's voice sounded, "Get up, child." ”
"Grandpa......" Qin Ziyu got up, put his arm around Xu Nan, looked puzzled, and said, "What does Your Majesty think?" Such a great opportunity, he ......"
Xu Nan stretched out his hand to stop Qin Ziyu from continuing, and smiled slightly, "Child, be patient......"
As soon as the words fell, the two of them heard a voice sound: "Duke Xu, please stay, Your Majesty invites you to discuss matters in the inner hall." ”
"Isn't this coming...... Xu Nan's lips moved, and he said to Qin Ziyu, "Child, you wait for your grandfather outside the palace, and your grandfather will come out in a while." ”
After speaking, Xu Nan nodded to the attendant who came to deliver the message, and followed him into the inner hall.
Qin Ziyu watched his grandfather and some important ministers enter the inner hall, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, he understood, there were some things, Emperor Canghong didn't want to discuss in front of the ministers, he just wanted to discuss with some of his henchmen.
So Qin Ziyu waited silently at the gate of the palace.
The wait is an hour......
When Xu Nan walked out of the palace gate under the courtesy of the chamberlain, Qin Ziyu couldn't wait to step forward, and looked at the old man eagerly with a pair of eyes, "Grandpa......"
Xu Nan nodded, "Your Majesty invited the Grand Imam Zhuo Ran to calculate the good fortune and evil, and Zhuo Ran gave a positive answer, Your Majesty has decided to send troops......"
Zhuo Ran ...... Qin Ziyu saw a radiant figure in his heart dressed in purple with a white beard and hair, and nodded, he knew that this person was the Grand Imam of the Ziwei Sect, which had recently developed rapidly in the Hongji Kingdom.
Qin Ziyu was not familiar with this person, but since this person promoted Emperor Canghong's determination to send troops, Qin Ziyu couldn't help but have a good impression of this person.
He clenched his fists excitedly, this day, he had been waiting for a long, long time......
Xu Nan looked at his excited grandson, and suddenly continued, "But child, you must know that Your Majesty will not help you for no reason...... After you seize power, you will divide the land of the five provinces to the Hongji country. ”
Land of the Five Provinces...... Qin Ziyu's face suddenly froze.
