Chapter 227: Are you embarrassed to ask Gu for iron tools?
Naturally, the pattern of Wei Donghou was not comparable to that of Kan Meng. Kan Meng's first thought was to occupy the magpie's nest, but Wei Donghou thought about it very thoroughly after getting excited. The iron weapons involved were too big, and he could not keep the secret alone.
, the best choice is to let the emperor and all the princes in the world know the news.
When the time comes, relying on the power of the world, King Xi will be in vain no matter how reluctant he is to hand over the iron weapon.
On that day, several messenger phoenix birds flew out of Wei Donghou's camp, and their targets were clearly Yunshi, the imperial capital, and the major vassal states that dominated the four directions.
Within two days, the entire Xia Dynasty heard about the battle at Jiming Pass and learned the secret of iron weapons. All the princes in the world were shocked!
Most of the prosperity of the Xia Dynasty was based on bronze forging. Because of the powerful metal and stone weapons, the Xia Dynasty was able to rise in the wilderness, repel the barbarians from all directions, and continuously expand its territory.
However, in recent years, the barbarians from all directions have been catching up from behind, and they have also learned to forge gold and stone weapons. This has greatly reduced the advantages of the Zhuxia Dynasty, and thus the current situation has emerged where the barbarians from all directions are constantly counterattacking and invading.
It can be said that the Xia Dynasty is in urgent need of new help to change this situation, and the emperor, Emperor Mu, and the princes of all parties are worried about this.
But now the emergence of iron tools has brought new opportunities.
For a time, the eyes of all the princes in the world were focused on Yunshi, the imperial capital.
Emperor Mu summoned all the people in the dynasty to discuss the matter.
Marquis Xixing: "Your Majesty, this is such a great joy. With this iron tool, who dares to make noise among the barbarians from all over the world? God bless my Xia, God bless my Xia!"
Si Tu Xinghou's words immediately attracted all the princes in the court, and everyone nodded.
"What I'm saying is that according to Wei Donghou, this iron weapon can break gold and gravel, seal the throat when it sees blood, and is extremely powerful. However, the barbarian's weapon did not move even when it hit the armor of the soldiers of the Xi Kingdom, and a mere eight hundred people were killed.
Three to four thousand barbarians fled, if this iron weapon can be widely used, it will be called a sacred object!"
"That's right, the most rare thing is that iron ore is easy to find. His country, which is so remote as Xi, can have such an elite army. Looking at the princes and countries in the world, who can't do it?"
As they talked, the princes from all sides became more and more excited, and their eyes were full of excitement.
But at this time, Duke Jiang spoke: "Your Majesty, iron weapons are very important to our Xia Dynasty. Not to mention whether the iron weapons are really as powerful as the rumors say. Even if they are only half as powerful, iron weapons can be called divine objects and are the treasure of the country.
It’s an important weapon, but I have some doubts. This iron weapon came from Xiyunzi Yao Yun..."
When the princes of the Manchu Dynasty heard Yao Yun's name, the joy on their faces faded a lot, and sad faces appeared one by one. Yao Yun, the son of Xi Yun, is the grandson of Emperor Xi and the son of the former emperor Xuan. This identity is indeed a bit sensitive.
As a result, all the princes in the dynasty secretly glanced at the emperor, Di Mu, to see what kind of attitude the emperor had.
When Emperor Mu saw that all the princes in the court were silent, he couldn't help but laugh, and said, "What do you think, what should we do?"
Gong Jiang was embarrassed by his actions, so he continued: "Your Majesty, I think this matter is of great importance. Iron weapons are very heavy for the Xia Dynasty. I think that Xiyunzi is not willing to hand over the iron weapons. In my opinion,
We can use words to lure them and offer benefits, as long as Xiyunzi is willing to give up the iron weapon, everything will be easy!"
"What Mr. Jiang said is that the iron weapon is too important. We must get it no matter what."
The ministers of the current dynasty are the representatives of the princes in the world. What all the princes in the dynasty are sure of is the will of the princes in the world. Whether it is Jiang Gong or other ministers, although their words are tactful and soft, the firmness in their words is clearly revealed. No matter Yao Yunyuan
If you are not willing to hand over the iron, they will all get it!
The emperor looked at the excited ministers of the court with a half-smile but not a smile: "Listening to your dear friends, are you sure that Yao Yun is not willing to hand over the iron weapons?"
All the princes in the court were immediately stunned and looked at the Emperor Mu with surprise.
"Why did the Holy One say this? Do you think Yao Yun is willing to hand over the iron weapons?"
Emperor Mu laughed heartily: "My beloved ministers, you are making false assumptions. The Youxi clan has always been my Zhuxia humerus. How could the Emperor of Heaven be short-sighted and selfish in the future? Yao Yun had written a letter a few days ago saying that he had an important weapon of the country dedicated to you.
During the Xia Dynasty, Xi Yunzi said that this treasure could bring benefits to all people, and its military skills could stabilize the country."
"I think the most important weapon of the country is iron. The iron weapon has greatly promoted agriculture, as evidenced by the mythical beast Dangkang. Now there are 800 soldiers who have defeated thousands of troops. Yao Yun has made great contributions to the country, and his character can be learned from the sun and the moon.
!”
The emperor's words shocked everyone, and all the princes in the court were dumbfounded. Yao Yun had actually intended to offer the iron weapon for a long time. What they said just now was like judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. They were really embarrassed and thrown into the grandma's house.
.
For a time, all the princes in the court lowered their heads in shame.
Emperor Mu of the Emperor saw this, so he smiled and said to the chief minister: "Marquis of Xixing, please take the blue bird envoy to Xiguo to ask Yao Yun for the method of iron smelting. Go quickly and come back quickly. My dear friends, I'm with Master Yun.
Just wait for the good news!"
Si Tu Xinghou happily accepted the order.
The envoy Qingniao dragged the Marquis of Xixing and galloped all the way, covering thousands of miles a day, and finally arrived at Xidu in the evening of the next day.
As soon as he arrived at the territory of Xi Kingdom, Marquis Xixing looked a little strange.
He had heard that the Xi Kingdom had weakened a lot since Yao Xuan, and its masters had withered away, leaving only a group of old, weak, women and children. However, he encountered many strong Qi Refiners along the way.
Among them are Qi Refiners of the third-grade Feng Bo level.
This really shocked the Marquis of Xixing. The cultivation level of the third-grade uncle was not low. Even in the imperial capital, he was considered a real strong man. Now there is more than one person in the Xi Kingdom!
"What's going on?"
The Marquis of Xixing lived in seclusion. Except for national affairs, he rarely paid attention to rumors in the public. He did not think of Cheng Huang at all.
The Marquis of Xixing couldn't figure it out and didn't bother to pay attention. It didn't matter whether the Xi Kingdom was strong or not. The most important thing was that Yao Yun was willing to donate the iron weapon, which made him extremely emotional.
To be fair, if he had control of iron weapons, he might not be able to be as selfless as Xiyunzi Yaoyun.
He is worthy of being a benevolent saint. Although he is young, his virtues are awe-inspiring, and his future generations will be formidable!
Situ Xinghou was filled with emotion, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of this king of Xi Kingdom whom he had never met before.
Not long after, the Blue Bird Messenger arrived over Xidu.
"I am the Xinghou of Xing, Tuxi, the governor of the Xia Dynasty. I have been ordered by the emperor to see Xi Yunzi!"
Not long after, Yao Yun came out of the palace.
"What did the Emperor ask you to do?" Yao Yun walked over with steady steps, but his tone was rather unkind. He knew clearly that the Emperor was here, but he had no intention of welcoming the Marquis of Xixing.
The Marquis of Xixing was immediately stunned and confused. What happened to Xi Yunzi? I have never offended him!
Could it be that his condescension made Xiyunzi unhappy? Thinking of this, Xixinghou immediately jumped off the Blue Bird Envoy and said with a smile: "Xiyunzi, I am in such a hurry that I have lost etiquette. I am the chief minister of Xixinghou.
On the order of the emperor, I ask Xiyunzi for the most important weapon of the country!"
Yao Yun was naturally happy when he heard this. After waiting for so many days, he finally arrived, but there was no smile on his face, but full of anger:
"You have the nerve to ask for iron tools from me, you are simply bullying me!"
