Regarding the demands of the two dynasties, the DPRK and China became polarized during this period.
That is rejection.
This is pure nonsense.
If you want to finish this or that, just give me the second-grade Shenwu cannon.
What I didn't expect was that he actually dared to ask for a product.
Riding on Da Wei's face.
Even civil servants couldn't bear it this time.
However, anger is anger, reason is still reason, Chen Zhengru completely understood what Wei was thinking.
To be more precise, he understood what the empress was thinking.
The Wei Dynasty has an unspeakable secret and cannot fight.
Otherwise, at this time, the empress did not declare war immediately, but continued to seek peace.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows this.
It was precisely because of this that although the officials felt uncomfortable, they did not accuse the empress.
Those who can enter the main hall are not first-class people. If they can't even observe words and emotions, they won't be able to reach this position.
"Your Majesty, there is a lot of resentment among the people nowadays, and there is quite a lot to say about the two dynasties asking for the first grade."
"If we agree to the demands of the two dynasties this time, I'm afraid it will cause some changes in people's livelihood."
Zhang Jing, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, spoke up, and his words were a bit harsh. After all, in ancient and modern times, what an emperor fears most is hearing about civil unrest.
Especially because of this kind of thing, if one thing goes wrong, the Ministry of Punishment will be held accountable.
However, facing the words of the Minister of Punishment, Ji Ling did not speak and did not know what he was thinking.
The officials remained silent among themselves, and the emperor did not answer. No matter how much they said, it would be of no use.
Just when all the officials were silent.
A voice suddenly sounded outside.
"Report!"
"The King of Peace is back."
When the voice sounded, all the officials were excited, and the atmosphere in the hall changed instantly, especially the empress, who stood up directly, with a look of joy on her beautiful face.
"The king of peace is back?"
The empress was a little shocked, her eyes full of surprise.
Not only her, but also all the officials.
During this period of time, Wei felt like he was being restricted in everything he did. Although he had the strength, he was helpless.
To put it bluntly, it just lacks a backbone.
The empress is capable, but the problem is that the current situation is really not something Ji Ling can make the decision about.
You need someone to connect the past and the next.
Xu Qingxiao is the person who connects the past and the future.
It’s been nearly half a year.
Finally, Xu Qingxiao came back.
"Back to Your Majesty, the Prince of Pingluan has entered the capital and should be walking towards the palace now."
The guard outside said so.
"good."
"Hurry and invite the king of peace to enter the palace."
Ji Ling spoke.
Outside the hall, Xu Qingxiao's figure slowly appeared.
When he returned from Zhongzhou Xianzang, he rushed to Wei Dynasty as soon as possible.
Along the way, he heard some things and knew a thing or two. When he walked into the palace, Li Xian immediately came over and led Xu Qingxiao forward.
At the same time, he also shortened what happened during this period into a few sentences and informed Xu Qingxiao.
After hearing this news.
Xu Qingxiao also came outside the hall.
In the main hall, all the officials looked at Xu Qingxiao excitedly, with smiles in their eyes.
I don't know why, everyone felt a sense of relief when Xu Qingxiao came.
The previous depression was gone.
At this moment.
A figure appeared outside the main hall.
This figure was very familiar, and everyone turned their attention to it.
He has a handsome appearance and a distinguished appearance. Although he wears plain clothes, the temperament between his eyebrows gives people an extremely noble feeling.
The great Wei pacified the rebellious king.
A sub-sage of Confucianism and Taoism, a first-class martial artist, a first-class immortal, a first-class Buddhist, a great talent throughout the ages.
There are countless halos above Xu Qingxiao's head, and every incident will be remembered forever.
He is not like a human being, but is like a sun, shining brightly when standing there.
On the Dragon Throne.
The empress looked at Xu Qingxiao, and all she saw in her eyes was Xu Qingxiao.
After several years of contact, although she and Xu Qingxiao had not really interacted with each other a few times, as an emperor, she had not had much contact with others, and Xu Qingxiao had a lot.
Moreover, people who have reached this level do not need to rely on time to develop feelings for each other. Maybe just a few meetings and a few conversations can leave something in each other's hearts.
"We will see the King of Peace."
All the officials bowed to Xu Qingxiao, and in the main hall, the empress had already sat down, but the smile on her face could not be concealed.
"Xu Aiqing, you are finally back."
The empress opened her mouth. The fact that she could say such words was enough to prove how important Xu Qingxiao was to Wei and how important he was to her.
"I wish to see you Qingxiao, Your Majesty."
Outside the palace, Xu Qingxiao walked into the palace and bowed respectfully to the empress.
Facing Xu Qingxiao’s respect.
Ji Ling spoke immediately.
"If you love me, I will forgive you. If you come, I will give you a seat."
At that moment, the eunuchs and attendants brought chairs and gave them seats in the main hall. This was a supreme honor.
Xu Qingxiao didn't show any pretense, but she didn't sit down either, but slowly spoke.
"Your Majesty, just give me a seat."
"I will report back when I return today."
Xu Qingxiao spoke up.
He did not sit down, even though it was an honor and no one would say anything if he sat down, but after all, there were so many ministers in the palace, so there was no need to do so.
"Xu Aiqing, tell me straight."
Ji Ling was straightforward, just let Xu Qingxiao speak.
"His Majesty."
"Ministers."
"When I returned to the Wei Dynasty, I already knew what happened these days."
"Tuxie and the Chu Yuan Dynasty looked covetously at the Wei Dynasty and gave us second-grade divine weapons and cannons. Both dynasties were still greedy."
"Yu Li said that the Wei Dynasty now has a strong army and strong horses, so it does not need to fear the two dynasties."
"But I believe that the Wei Dynasty is now becoming stronger and stronger, and it cannot fight at will. I believe that the two dynasties' request for a first-class divine cannon is just for self-protection."
"If this incident leads to chaos in the world, it will be against the laws of nature. Then the fate will backfire, and problems will arise in the Central Continent Dragon Cauldron."
"So, I think it's better to go with the flow and give the Shenwu cannon to the two dynasties. How about that?"
In the main hall, Xu Qingxiao made a startling statement as soon as she appeared.
As soon as these words were said, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty changed in an uproar.
I thought that when Xu Qingxiao came back, there would be a war, but what I didn't expect was that Xu Qingxiao was more direct and sent Shenwu cannons to the two dynasties?
This is really a bit of a shame.
"Your Majesty."
"The Shenwu Cannon was refined by you. In theory, whatever you say is what it is. But the Shenwu Cannon is, after all, an artifact that protects the country. Giving it to Tuxie and Chuyuan will be beneficial to us, the Wei Dynasty, in the short term.
"
"But in the long run, it will not be of any benefit to me, the Wei Dynasty. I hope the prince will think twice."
Li Yanlong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, spoke immediately and persuaded Xu Qingxiao.
After all, they just want to rent the Shenwu cannon. It would be better for Xu Qingxiao to just give it to them?
This is completely unnecessary.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Wei Dynasty is indeed getting stronger and stronger now. If there is no war and the world is peaceful, we, the Wei Dynasty, will be able to surpass the two dynasties in three to five years, but the Shenwu cannon means absolute military power."
"If this thing is given to them, even if five or ten years later, everyone in the Wei Dynasty is like a dragon, it will not have any effect. Wanting to unify Central Continent is still a fool's dream. We have it, others have it, maybe the divine cannon
After sending it over, the two dynasties used the whole country to refine three or five gates. At worst, the people will suffer for a generation, and fifty years later, they will have a stalemate with the Wei Dynasty again."
"At that time, if there is a war, it will be a bigger trouble for the Wei Dynasty."
Zhou Yan, Minister of the Ministry of War, couldn't help but speak and persuaded Xu Qingxiao to calm down.
The two ministers spoke one after another, and the others remained silent to see what Xu Qingxiao wanted to say.
Now.
Xu Qingxiao did not refute the two, but looked at Ji Lingdao.
"Your Majesty, I have been in seclusion these days, and I have been inspired by heaven's secrets, so I cannot let too many people know about some words. Except for the six ministers and the nine princes, can the rest of the lords withdraw from the court?"
Xu Qingxiao spoke up.
He wanted to say something to reassure the six ministers and the nine princes. Otherwise, he would send two divine cannons in vain, and I was afraid that the civil and military officials in the court would not agree.
If the six ministers and the Duke agree, then it doesn't matter whether the others agree or not.
As soon as he said this, Ji Ling couldn't help but speak slowly.
"allow."
Even the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty did not dare to disobey him. Although they were curious, they were not of a high level, so they had no choice but to withdraw honestly.
After they completely withdraw from the court.
Chen Zhengru's voice couldn't help but ring out.
"My lord, just tell me what's going on. We're all one of our own, so there's no need to hide it."
Chen Zhengru looked attentively, looked at Xu Qingxiao, and directly sent the Shenwu cannon. Logically speaking, Xu Qingxiao would not be so stupid.
But saying this means that Xu Qingxiao has the confidence.
Not only him, but the remaining ministers and princes, including the empress, also looked very curious and couldn't help but look at Xu Qingxiao.
"His Majesty."
"My lords."
"For nearly half a year, I have not been in seclusion, but have been refining divine cannons. In half a year, I have also refined five hundred divine cannons."
"So sending two Shenwu cannons will not have much impact on me, the Wei Dynasty."
Xu Qingxiao slowly opened his mouth and told what he was doing during this time.
As soon as he said this, there was an uproar in an instant.
"What? Five hundred doors?"
"My lord, are you telling the truth or are you lying?"
"Five hundred? I, the Wei Dynasty, have five hundred divine cannons?"
At this moment, everyone couldn't hold back any longer. They all looked at Xu Qingxiao, their eyes full of shock.
Even Ji Ling, the Empress of Wei, was shocked and her eyes widened.
The reason why the Wei Dynasty is currently attracting the attention of the world is that it is the Shenwu Cannon.
This kind of thing is simply an artifact of war. With one shot, millions of troops will be wiped out.
This is still the power of a divine cannon.
Now Xu Qingxiao tells everyone that there are five hundred divine cannons. What is the concept of this?
Aiming at the Tuxie Dynasty, five hundred Shenwu cannons were fired, and the entire Tuxie Dynasty's territory was reduced by one-tenth.
Push all the way, and destroy Tuxie in half a day.
"Xu Aiqing, I really can't believe it."
At this moment, Ji Ling couldn't help but speak. She knew what the Shenwu Cannon needed to refine.
The ultimate spiritual gold.
With so much material, where can Xu Qingxiao find it?
Are there so many immortal treasures in Zhongzhou?
Can you refine five hundred divine cannons?
If Xu Qingxiao came back this time and said he brought five divine cannons, she would believe him.
When I heard Five Hundred Doors, I still couldn't believe it.
But Xu Qingxiao didn't say much, but waved his hand to condense the Central Continent Dragon Cauldron.
The next moment, cannons appeared one after another. The golden Shenwu cannons looked extremely bright even if they were not in the sunlight.
The entire hall was quite large. After Xu Qingxiao placed them one by one, a total of fifty divine cannons appeared in front of everyone.
"His Majesty."
"Of course I don't dare to deceive you. We can only place fifty divine cannons in the hall, and the rest will not be taken out for the time being."
"My lords, I am not a joker. Since I dare to say that I will give Tuxie Chuyuan two divine cannons, I am ready."
Xu Qingxiao spoke, looking extremely confident.
He concealed the specific number, not because of anything else. Prince Yongping was the mastermind behind the Wei Dynasty. In this case, Xu Qingxiao couldn't tell whether there were any other princes in the six divisions who were in the same camp as Prince Yongping.
allow.
So it is certainly correct to say five hundred doors.
It can not only intimidate the opponent, but also hide something. If the opponent still dares to come forward, then Xu Qingxiao will let him taste the power of the fairy gold cannon.
"Your Majesty, we have so many powerful cannons, what are we going to do with them? Just blast their country to pieces."
Zhou Yan, Minister of the Ministry of War, couldn't help but speak.
I think there are so many Shenwu cannons, why don't we just give them a hair or 500 rounds of artillery shells?
As soon as he said this, everyone nodded and agreed with what Zhou Yan said.
"No."
"There is no point in adding more killings."
"Really destroying their country has no meaning to the Wei Dynasty."
"A truly strong country does not need to unify, it only needs to continue to grow stronger, and the two dynasties can indirectly become tributaries of the Wei Dynasty."
Xu Qingxiao spoke slowly.
As soon as he said this, Gu Yan nodded, he understood what Xu Qingxiao meant.
Unifying Middle-earth is not necessarily a good thing.
After all, the people of the Tuxie Dynasty and the Chu Yuan Dynasty still recognized the two dynasties. After they were unified, the things they had to deal with every day were that there were rebels in that place, and there was another civil unrest in that place.
Other than that, you get no benefit.
It would be better not to unify, but to let the other party pay the money honestly, buy Da Wei's things at high prices, and sell to Da Wei at low prices.
From then on, the people of the Wei Dynasty could live a good life. In the past two dynasties, they were purely working for the Wei Dynasty.
In this way, no matter what happens, the people of the two dynasties will only criticize their dynasty, and they will never blame the Wei Dynasty.
"But just by bringing out two divine cannons, I'm afraid the two dynasties won't be able to give much of anything substantial, right?"
When An Guogong spoke, he was a little confused.
As soon as he said this, Xu Qingxiao shook her head.
"The Duke was wrong."
"Now the Tuxie Dynasty and the Chu Yuan Dynasty only dream of getting the Shenwu Cannon."
"Da Wei made a list for them before, and they were willing to exchange it for the second-grade Shenwu cannon."
"Now I want to rent a first-class Shenwu cannon. I think they have also prepared a generous gift."
"But this time, we don't rent it to them, we give it to them directly, let them study it, and let them use all the efforts of the country to refine new divine weapons."
"But we can propose various terms, even let them cede territory, and also have trade terms."
"From their point of view, even if it is extremely harsh, they will agree to it in order to defraud the Shenwu Cannon."
"At least the deed will be signed. We only need to wait for them to sign and then do one thing to make three generations of them become the slaves of the Wei Dynasty."
Xu Qingxiao said extremely seriously.
At this moment, everyone was a little curious.
"Do that?"
They were curious and didn't know what they could do to make Tuxie and the Chu Yuan Dynasty work for the Wei Dynasty honestly.
