In fact, the disease in the doctor's eyes was nothing in Chu Qing's eyes.

In this era, there are no mobile phones or computers, and there is no nightlife at night. She almost goes to bed before nine o'clock at night. Chu Qing "dances to the sound of chickens" for the sake of physical fitness, and lives a very regular life.

I feel my body is much healthier than it is in modern times.

This is the only time I've been sick since time travel. After a few injections, I immediately felt like I wasn't sick anymore.

Chen Dianyu explained that he had to rest for half an hour after acupuncture and that he should not be bothered within seven days and must take a good rest. After explaining, he left.

Chu Qing rested in the side hall for two-quarters of an hour and then went to the imperial study. The emperor did not say that the meeting was over.

The emperor had heard Chen Dianyu's report and was chatting with Hu Hengqiu at this time: "Did you hear that? Arrow wounds, wolves scratch. This Chu Qing, I always forget that she is a woman."

Hu Hengqiu: "I always can't remember it. If nothing else, no man can compare to her appetite!"

Emperor: "She seemed to have eaten two meals just now?"

Hu Hengqiu: "Yes, I feel panicked for her when I see her."

When Chu Qing came in, his eyes glanced at the dessert plate on the emperor's desk.

After the acupuncture just now, I feel that my head and body have relaxed a lot, and I feel a little hungry again.

The emperor couldn't help but push the plate forward.

Chu Qing's IQ was back a little now, and she quickly thanked the emperor for his kindness. He didn't dare to eat anymore.

Because the Secret Intelligence Department received the news that the Kingdom of Voss requested a visit, the emperor now wanted to hear Chu Qing's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand this." Chu Qing refused.

Don't mess around. Just now you were talking while eating and you were very indifferent. Now you are talking about politics and economics. Do you want to be superior to the ministers in the court?

"Chu Aiqing doesn't have to worry, it's just a common chat about opinions." The emperor said, "Actually, Voss had contacts with us Han people in the previous dynasty." The emperor started.

This is the history of Daxuan. Chu Qing had not systematically understood it, so he became interested in it.

"Of course, many scholars don't think so. I just speculated based on the records of books collected by my father when I was a child.

Nowadays, many scholars believe that the Voss Kingdom arrived here from somewhere overseas at most a few hundred years ago. They have never had any contact with our ancestors and are some barbaric people.

But I think Voss should be a country in the Western Regions mentioned in "Historical Records".

"Historical Records" records: "General Hussar went to Bingshuai to attack King Hunxie of the Western Regions of the Xiongnu.

And all the men and women rushed to each other, took the army rations to receive the food, and controlled the tens of thousands of people...'

This Western Region probably refers to the Kingdom of Voss, but it was not called that name at the time.

However, scholars of all dynasties believed that "Historical Records" was just a story fabricated by Sima Qian, because as we all know, to the west of us is the sea.

But there are also many sages who think this is true. Perhaps Sima Qian just got the directions of east, west, south and north wrong? I quite agree with this speculation."

Emma! What the emperor is talking about is "Historical Records: Biography of General Wei's Hussars"? How could it be!

Voss is clearly in the east, but to the west of Daxuan is indeed the sea!

Chu Qing was mesmerized! She had always had this question.

"Ahem," Hu Hengqiu cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, regardless of whether this Western Region is Voss or not, our Daxuan has never had formal contact with it. Their sudden visit this time, I feel, is not just for them.

Commerce is so simple.”

Hu Hengqiu wanted to get the topic back on track, otherwise it would turn into a history seminar.

The emperor nodded: "I think so too. In the past, our Daxuan only had contacts with Donglun State, but I heard that Donglun achieved peace because of its trade with Voss.

When my father was still alive, I often heard the complaints from the king of Donglun, saying that Voss invaded the border and the country was poor and the people were in poverty. So I made a big announcement to help Donglun with many properties. Donglun used this to sell them to Voss at a high price and earn a lot of money.

Profits can be maintained.

Now New South Wales is still open to Voss, but what Voss can get is much less, so he will naturally find another way."

Hu Hengqiu expressed different opinions: "Your Majesty, I believe that King Voss's move should be to announce that I will open the mineral trade to him.

Because it is difficult for them to obtain iron ore now, the minerals in Xinlunzhou are now under the control of Daxuan

Exit. Moreover, I also concluded that their smelting technology should be no less than ours."

"Why do you see it?" the emperor asked.

"The Huanshou Dao. Our soldiers captured the Huanshou Dao on the battlefield. And their arrows." Hu Hengqiu said.

"Yeah." The emperor nodded and thought: This is not a bad thing. We can refer to their technology.

"Is there any more?" the emperor asked.

"Food," Hu Hengqiu said, "what they lack most is food. It is already late winter, and they will face the test of hunger again before spring begins."

"This is the important thing. In the past, Donglun delivered all the grain to them, and then asked me for food. But he was very good at planning. Donglun is a mountainous area, and they grow mostly coarse grains. They eat our refined grains.

, exchange their rough grain for money and horses." The emperor said, but in his heart he was dissatisfied with the late emperor for indulging the old Dong Lun Kingdom.

Chu Qing didn't understand why the monarch and his ministers were thinking "They are going to take advantage of us."

In her opinion, Voss sent an envoy to visit because he hoped that the two countries could establish diplomatic relations. Whoever proposed to establish diplomatic relations first must be the one who wants something from others and is the weaker one.

"Is this too little diplomacy and too much concern?" Chu Qing thought.

It is true that the geographical environment of Daxuan is in a relatively closed pattern.

Compared with Voss, Daxuan's civilization is mainly a farming civilization, and compared with nomadic civilization, it is often at a disadvantage. This can be seen from the first battle between Hong Liang and Voss.

Then the successive rulers of Daxuan, or the mainstream thinking, formed a response strategy: not to expand, not to actively occupy or plunder the territory of other nations or countries.

"Spring and Autumn" puts forward the view of "respecting the king and rejecting the barbarians".

"Respecting the King" means that not only all the nationalities in our country should respect our emperor, but also the surrounding ethnic groups and surrounding countries should also respect us.

Therefore, "respecting the king" is a need for the central theory of Daxuan.

What is "rejecting the foreigners"?

On the basis of the theory of Daxuan centrality and cultural superiority, Daxuan culture is far superior to the culture of surrounding nations and countries, so other countries cannot be allowed to interfere and destroy it, and these barbarians need to be kept out of the country.

.

Voss is a country with strong military power. After the destruction of the old Donglun Kingdom, Daxuan has always regarded Voss as an imaginary enemy.

Now that this enemy suddenly proposed to visit, the emperor and his ministers had to think about it.

"Why is their prince not an envoy?" The emperor suddenly changed his subject.

"Pazhuo, the king of Guli, is expected to become the next king of Voss, so the prince can only serve as deputy historian." Hu Hengqiu guessed.

The emperor was silent because he didn't think so.

As an emperor, when he still holds the power to rule, wouldn't doing this mean that the imperial power will fall by the wayside early?

Besides, the throne should not be passed on to one’s own heirs, but to someone with a foreign surname?

The emperor turned his attention to Chu Qing: "Is this the news you got?"

The intelligence of the Voss Kingdom is now collected and sorted out by the Chu Qing Board of Directors. It is said that the emperor should already be aware of it.

So when you ask this question now, you shouldn't be questioning their work, but just because you don't understand.

So Chu Qing expressed his opinion: "This is the news, but I understand it like this:

The country of Vos is different from me. They are an economic system established by various lords in their territories to exploit and enslave serfs. In other words, the lords all have their own wealth and rights;

In this way, it is a bit like raising voodoos. The lords fight like a group of voodoos. The victorious voodoo in the end will become the new king of Voss. The original king may be "forced into the palace" or take the initiative to meditate.

throne; so their throne is abdicated;

The territory of King Guli and King Voss City are bounded by the Yujing Mountains and the Baishan Mountains, and the snow from the two mountain ranges melts into a river in Tuhuerte. Because of the advantage of water sources, King Guli can be said to be able to control

river channels leading to several other territories;

This gave King Guli an advantage, so he became the most competitive successor to the throne."

It was late at night, and Chu Qing felt a little chilly again. Chen Dianyu said that he should get more rest and not work too hard, but he couldn't do it because the emperor was in a meeting.

The emperor felt that Chu Qing's analysis was quite accurate, but her wording was a bit...unconventional, but it was not difficult to understand.

It was a very surprising thing that a woman with a commoner background could look at the overall situation of a country and make an analysis. It made the emperor feel fresh, so he asked again: "You just said that Voss and I, Daxuan, are different. What about Daxuan?"

What kind of country is it?”

You're the emperor and you're asking me?! Chu Qing wanted to roll his eyes, but he didn't dare, so he had to answer:

“Our big propaganda is a centralized system, uh... it means that the whole country is closely united around the imperial court with the emperor as the center.

Therefore, our throne is hereditary, and the royal family has the best educational resources, so the royal heirs are the best, and others cannot take them away even if they want to. They are not comparable to those barbaric peoples."

Chu Qing felt that she had done a good job of flattering her, but now she felt dizzy and painful.

Hu Hengqiu and Eunuch Li were so excited that they didn't dare to breathe next to them.

Hu Hengqiu stared at Chu Qing and kept scolding in his mind: "Just don't raise your head or open your eyes! You talk nonsense without even looking at me. Can you evaluate the imperial power?"

My eyes are cramping when I give you winks!

You said Voss, wouldn’t the emperor think you were insinuating against him? You also raise voodoos, do you think the emperor’s son is not like voodoos and doesn’t need to fight?”

Although I was scolding Chu Qing in my heart, I was frightened by the scolding: What was I thinking! I actually thought that the emperor raising his son was like raising a poisonous insect?!

Eunuch Li turned his eyes between Chu Qing and the emperor again: "My dear ancestors! Has this woman eaten the courage of a leopard? Chu Qing, if the emperor does not punish you within three days, I will respect you as a man."

!”

The emperor's fingers tapped lightly on the imperial desk.
