Half a year later, good news came from the southwest battlefield: the official army defeated the Qianxiang Kingdom's army!
In another two months, the official army took advantage of the victory and drove the Qianxiang Kingdom's army out of the country and entered the Qianxiang Kingdom.
The news spread back to the capital and immediately caused a huge sensation!
Today, my heart is full of joy, and the gloom hanging over the capital has been swept away.
As the war went smoothly, the noble sons and family generals who joined the army broke out in full force. Not only did they win many military exploits, but they also became the backbone of the southwest army.
The elder also benefited, and he became the chief minister of the cabinet so easily!
At this time, the envoys from the Qianxiang Kingdom rushed to the capital, using the captured Nan'an County Prince as a bargaining chip to start truce negotiations with Daqi!
The officials of Honglu Temple were very helpless. They should have sternly refused such a request, but Prince Nan'an was a hurdle they couldn't get around. His life and death were not something they could decide.
According to the eldest master's wishes, there is nothing to talk about. Just let the southwest official army destroy the Qianxiang Kingdom!
It's just a pity that I can't make up my mind now. The main reason is that Prince Nan'an has huge power and there are too many people interceding with him. It's hard to be too ruthless now.
Especially when the princes of Xining County and Dongping County wrote letters begging for mercy at the same time, things became increasingly difficult to resolve.
If one of them is not good, Wang Hanxin, the two people with different surnames in Xining and Dongping, may be alienated from the court. This is something that we don't want and don't want to happen today.
"What do you think the chief minister has to say?"
At present, no solution has been found despite all the brainstorming. We can only recruit the Xiaochao Council to brainstorm and let a group of cabinet bosses help find a solution at the same time.
As the chief minister of the cabinet, the eldest brother naturally has unshirkable responsibilities.
"It depends on the specific conditions of Qian Xiangguo. If it's really too much, there's no need to talk about it!"
The elder said coldly: "The Crown Prince of Nan'an County is still in the capital!"
As soon as these words came out, Jin Jin and the rest of his cabinet colleagues were all shocked, and were shocked by the eldest master's determination.
Especially today, I seem to have just discovered that the elder is an out-and-out ruthless person. Since he became the chief minister of the cabinet, he has become even more "unscrupulous". He seems to have no restraints and speaks in shocking ways. He is extremely domineering and crazy.
Sometimes, even he, who is the emperor, is shocked by the cruelty and ruthlessness in the elder's words. Even though what this guy says is very reasonable, if he really wants to do what he wants, he will definitely cause trouble.
Cool Qin general means and atmosphere.
Soon, Qian Xiangguo put forward conditions:
First, there was a truce between the two countries, and the Qi army withdrew from the Qianxiang Kingdom;
Secondly, the Qianxiang Kingdom wants to have a friendly relationship with Daqi forever, and hopes to marry the Daqi royal family. Even if they don’t marry a princess, they must at least be a princess!
When the above matters are settled, Qianxiang Kingdom agrees to send Prince Nan'an back to Daqi safely.
Now that she heard the news, she was so angry that she almost vomited blood. Nima Qian Xiangguo could no longer hold on anymore. How dare you make such excessive demands?
It's easy to withdraw Da Qi's troops, but if you want to marry the Da Qi royal family, don't dream about it.
"Your Majesty, what else can you say? Just keep fighting and destroy the Qianxiang Kingdom!"
At another small court meeting, the elder said unceremoniously: "A mere small barbarian country dares to be so rampant. What should we do if all the small countries in the southwest follow suit?"
This time, not only did the eldest boss strongly oppose it, but even the rest of the cabinet did not agree.
Are you kidding? It’s okay to lose the battle. The teeth were knocked out and the blood was swallowed up. But now it’s obvious that Daqi has the advantage. Why should we give face to the small Qian Xiangguo?
The news spread out somehow. Regardless of the civil or military status, few people in the capital agreed with Qian Xiangguo's rude request, but one family was an exception.
That is Nan'an County Prince's Mansion!
In order to rescue the Prince of Nan'an, even the 80-year-old Princess Nan'an could not sit still this time. She took the initiative to leave the palace and ran around, contacting acquaintances and nobles to put pressure on the court and Jin Jin, so that Jin Jin and the imperial court would not give up the rescue.
Prince Nan'an's plan.
This time, after hearing that the eldest master planned to give up rescuing Prince Nan'an, the old concubine was anxious and angry and came directly to the house with heavy gifts, hoping to persuade the eldest master to change his mind.
Hearing that the old concubine from Nan'an came to visit, the old lady was very happy and took the initiative to invite her. The old concubine followed the boat to Rongqing Hall, and after talking about their old friendship, she explained the reason.
"Don't worry, the old lady will definitely try to persuade the boss later. After all, we have been friends for many years!"
The old lady didn't take Prince Nan'an's affairs to heart at all. She directly patted her chest and said, "If Prince Nan'an gets into trouble while serving the country, the imperial court should come to rescue him!"
"Why does the concubine insist on rescuing the prince?"
When the old man returned to his government office, he heard that the old concubine from Nan'an had come to visit, and there was also an old lady among them. He rushed directly to Rongqing Hall to meet her. When the old concubine mentioned the rescue, he asked unceremoniously: "You know, if
It’s okay if the prince dies in battle, but if he returns to the capital safely, the prince’s palace may not guarantee his title, and he may even be imprisoned!”
Hearing this, the old lady and the old concubine Nan'an were both shocked. Especially the old concubine Nan'an's face turned pale and bloodless, and her body shook for a while as if she was about to faint.
The old man had sharp eyes and quick hands, and rushed over like a spiritual ape. He placed the index and middle fingers of his right hand on the old concubine's wrist. He felt the fingertips tremble slightly, and a mysterious force penetrated into the old concubine's body, shaking the old concubine's meridians and blood.
, the old concubine quickly recovered, and her body was even healthier than before.
"Boss, is the situation really that serious?"
Seeing that the old lady was safe and sound, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and then she was able to continue the previous topic. She didn't believe it: "It can't be so cruel nowadays!"
"Old lady, this is not a question of being cruel or not!"
The elder shook his head and said: "The prince of Nan'an County was defeated and captured first, and then he asked the Qianxiang Kingdom to invade the southwest and wreak havoc in the southwest for a year. Every single thing is no small matter!"
Having said this, he turned to look at the old concubine and said: "Old concubine, you are not a cold-hearted person from a certain family. Rather than asking the Prince of Nan'an County to come back and hinder your current eyesight, it is better to make a decisive decision and let the heir apparent take the title!"
Seeing that the old concubine was still hesitant, he continued: "If the palace makes Xiang uncomfortable this time, it is estimated that the palace will not have any good fruits in the future. After all, the Nan'an palace has no military power in its hands. What will happen in the future is not your majesty's word.
And decide?"
The old concubine's face turned pale and she looked like she was fainting again. However, this time she did not let the eldest man rescue her. She quickly recovered and nodded her thanks: "No matter what, I have to thank Rong Mansion for reminding me this time!"
He didn't stay any longer, leaving a very valuable gift and hurriedly left.
"Boss, is the situation really this serious?"
After the old lady left, the old lady suddenly asked: "After all, he is the Prince of Nan'an County. Even if he feels unhappy now, he won't do anything too extreme, right?"
"hehe……"
The elder chuckled lightly, shook his head and said: "Only the Prince of Nan'an County who has military power and territory is worthy of attention. In today's eyes, the current Prince of Nan'an County is just a person who has lost his power and humiliated the country. He is also a big embarrassment. He has no value anymore."
!”
I have to say that the old concubine of Nan'an is a character.
The eldest master's words obviously woke her up. Within two days, the Nan'an County Prince's Palace sent a request to be crowned the crown prince. As for the Nan'an County Prince's matter, they didn't mention it at all, and they obviously treated him as dead in the battle.
The current reaction was quite quick. He directly demoted the prince of Nan'an County to the rank of marquis. He basically had no real power. It was not easy for him to rise to prominence again.
After the affairs of the Nan'an County Prince's Palace were settled, the current attitude towards the envoys from the Qianxiang Kingdom suddenly became extremely tough. He directly asked this guy to go back and tell the leader of the Qianxiang Kingdom: Either bow down and pay tribute every year; or continue to fight.
Whoever couldn't hold on in the end, as the Prince of Nan'an County had already died on the battlefield, Qianxiang Kingdom's request was simply nonsense.
The envoys of the Qianxiang Kingdom left the capital in despair. A few months later, the Qianxiang Kingdom's army suddenly attacked a key town in the southwest border. They were beaten back by the well-prepared Daqi army. The all-out war between Daqi and the Qianxiang Kingdom began.
There is absolutely no comparison in size between Daqi and Qianxiang Kingdom. As long as Daqi does not make mistakes and let the other side take advantage of the loopholes, the final victory will definitely belong to Daqi.
As the chief minister of the cabinet, the eldest brother proposed the idea of letting the local officials and troops in the southern region, who had been away from battle for a long time, take turns to fight, and use the Qianxiang Kingdom to enhance the combat effectiveness of the local officials and troops in the south, which has been adopted and implemented today.
As a result, the war between Daqi and the Qianxiang Kingdom lasted for ten years. The local officers and soldiers in the entire south and even some areas in the north almost fought twice. The Qianxiang Kingdom was too weak to hold on.
He fell and was directly destroyed by the Qi army.
These are all things that I won’t mention for the time being. Besides, after the troubles in Qianxiang Kingdom were dealt with with the imperial court, peace has returned to Daqi.
The foundation Da Qi has accumulated over the years is no joke. Although the southwest region has become a mess due to the sudden war, the imperial court still allocates a large amount of grain and grass to support the past while still having enough energy to deal with other affairs.
It's just that I don't know if the princes in the court are too arrogant, or the southwest is too far away from the capital, so it is difficult to detect what happened there. After less than a year of invasion by foreign enemies, the number of people in the southwest was very small after the war.
About 30% of the time, no one noticed.
This is an astonishing number, representing millions of people who have disappeared in just one year. It is really unbelievable to say that.
Although the Qianxiang Kingdom's army marched into the southwest hinterland of Daqi, burning, killing, and looting, they did not massacre civilians in a planned manner. The southwest was not a place where nothing was lost. The disappearance of millions of people should easily cause
The court's attention is.
The strange thing is that this incident did not cause any shock among the officials and the people, as it seemed to be a normal thing.
The elder smiled softly, and it was natural that such a situation could not be possible without his contribution. Those people who suddenly disappeared all passed through the ports in the southwest and left Daqi to start a new life overseas.
And he also started his career at the peak of power in Daqi!
