The sun is coming, the cold wind is blowing, and the snow on the ground is beginning to dissipate.
Unknowingly, ten days had passed since Zhang Heng entered the palace. Emperor Chu sent Heiwu and Heiwu to lead the Black Crow dead soldiers to the southeast of Chu State to check.
Want to know.
The ground is shaking. Is it low, or is a treasure about to arrive?
At the same time, Emperor Chu sent an order to Zhu Yuanzhang, Duke of Ming, to hoard grain and grass in the cities of Shunming County to prepare for emergencies.
Unfortunately, the southeast direction of the Chu Kingdom refers to the Northern Song Dynasty Empire. I don’t know why the Northern Song Dynasty Emperor refused to surrender to Chu, but the Chu Emperor can be sure that the energy released by this huge underground earthquake will have great impact on the Northern Song Dynasty.
For the empire, it was an absolutely unprecedented disaster.
Therefore, there was a certain reason for asking the Duke of Ming Dynasty to prepare food and grass in advance. Whether it was an earthquake or the discovery of treasures, it was a disaster for the people, and the Northern Song Dynasty empire was destined to be unrest.
When the time comes, the people will flee, and their first choice will be Shunming County. This natural disaster that has not yet come, in the heart of Emperor Chu, is an opportunity given by God to the Chu Kingdom.
The Northern Song Empire did not surrender, and disaster struck, forcing them to surrender.
at this time.
Emperor Chu was squatting in the Nuan Pavilion of the Beast Palace. In recent days, he had learned that Han Bingluo and Han Zhiyun were in love, which meant that they would be happy for Emperor Chu.
Therefore, for nearly half a month, Emperor Chu spent most of his time in the harem with the girls. Because Han Bingluo and Han Zhiyun were pregnant again, the other girls were very envious, especially Fei Ling'er and Diao Chan.
Son, the opportunity stays with Emperor Chu every night, and he already has the intention of occupying him.
However, Emperor Chu was a man of equals and would not favor one over the other. His appearance in the Nuan Pavilion today was a break from his busy schedule, and he would also like to thank the envoys from the Huanyun Empire for their arrival.
Inside the Nuan Pavilion.
The hot water curled up, making people feel like they were bathed in the morning breeze. The fragrance of tea overflowed from the wooden table in front of Emperor Chu, filling every corner of the Nuan Pavilion.
Xiao Guizi stood on one side, holding a fly whisk in his hand, squinting his eyes slightly, with doubt on his cheeks, and said: "Your Majesty, the Huanyun Empire suddenly sent envoys here, does it have some other agenda?"
"What's the picture?"
"Of course there will be a plan!"
"Everything in the world is bustling for the sake of profit, and the world is bustling for the sake of profit. If there is no purpose, how can the Huanyun Empire send envoys to my Chu state?"
The Emperor of Chu was not surprised at all when the envoys from the Huanyun Empire entered Chu. This shows that the strength of the Chu State has finally been recognized by all the countries in the world.
The more powerful you are, the more valuable you are in the eyes of others. If Chu is still a small country that anyone can bully, do you think the First-Rank Huanyun Empire will send envoys?
However, Emperor Chu felt that the arrival of Huanyun's envoys was not a good thing, at least their timing was very sensitive.
A little while.
There were footsteps coming from outside the Nuan Pavilion. Emperor Chu put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at the door. The Nuan Pavilion opened with a creak. Jiang Shang, Liu Bowen, Fang Xuanling, Di Renjie, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Liang strode into the palace, and then Li Jing, Qin Qiong,
King Bimeng and Yuchi Gong entered the palace one after another.
Civil and military officials appeared one after another, and everyone raised their fists and saluted. Emperor Chu smiled lightly, his sleeves fluttered, and motioned for all the ministers to sit down. The envoys of the Huanyun Empire were coming, and the important civil and military ministers were coming in person. The Emperor of Chu wanted to show the envoys of the Huanyun Empire.
The divine power of Chu.
"Your Majesty, the arrival of Huan Yun's envoy is enough to show that Wu Chu has become a powerful force in the world."
"Master Zhang is right. Huan Yun sent envoys here, undoubtedly preparing to form an alliance with Wu Chu. The situation in the countries is currently in chaos. If we can make an alliance with Huan Yun, the countries will no longer dare to underestimate Wu Chu."
Zhang Liang and Fang Xuanling spoke one after another, and their faces looked happy. However, Jiang Shang frowned on one side and his face was full of gloom. Apparently, he was a little more worried about the arrival of the Huanyun envoy.
On this point, Jiang Shang coincided with Emperor Chu. Now that the Huanyun Empire is sending envoys, it will do hundreds of harms and one benefit to Chu State.
"Your Majesty, the power of our country in Chu is growing day by day. Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and his generals are unrivaled in bravery. Many surrounding countries are afraid of us. I think that there is no need for an alliance with the Huanyun Empire."
"On the contrary, if Wu Chu forms an alliance with Huan Yun, he will definitely become the target of public criticism. At that time, the first-level countries will definitely regard Wu Chu as a thorn in their flesh and a thorn in their side, and they will quickly get rid of him."
"Nowadays, the countries have a tacit understanding and are in a state of balance. If Wu Chu and Huanyun unite, once the news spreads, the countries will definitely take action, because this situation is not what they want to see."
Hear the sound.
Emperor Chu nodded frequently. Jiang Shangzhi's words hit the nail on the head. It was the same as what he was thinking. At least, he had no idea of forming an alliance with Huanyun now. Their arrival almost disrupted Emperor Chu's plan.
To fight against foreign forces, we must first settle the internal affairs. The most urgent task now is to unify the third-rank empire. This is like making a fortune in silence and quietly annexing the third-rank countries. By then, the strength of the Chu State will be superior to that of the second-rank empire and not inferior to the first-rank empire.
empire.
"Your Majesty, the envoy Huanyun has entered the palace. There is no airtight wall in the world. Even if we don't form an alliance with Huanyun now, I'm afraid the other countries won't believe it."
"Weak minister, I have a plan to deceive others!"
"Zifang, if you have any good ideas, please come quickly!"
"Your Majesty, you built the plank road openly and visited Chen Cang secretly. It is both true and false, so that all the countries in the world cannot guess whether Wu Chu has formed an alliance with Huanyun."
"At that time, those who are interested will definitely make random suspicions, but they don't know the truth of the matter and dare not act rashly. This is a kind of shock invisibly."
"Build the plank road openly and build the warehouse secretly?"
Emperor Chu was thoughtful, his eyes flickered, he looked sideways at Xiao Guizi, and ordered him to let the envoy of Xuan Huanyun enter the palace.
An hour later, the Huan Yun envoy was driven out of the Beast Palace. Yes, he was kicked out.
The envoys who came to Huanyun were all seriously injured. They left cursing, and the leader was Huangfu Hao. No one knew what happened at this hour.
Emperor Chu's figure was as straight as a sword. He stood on the high platform outside the royal study. Looking at the back of Huanyun's envoy as he left, he chuckled lightly:
"Young Master Hao is very cooperative!"
Emperor Chu believed that soon, the news that Envoy Huanyun would be driven out of the Beast Palace would spread like wildfire. Some people might be deceived by the surface, but for the cunning kings of Qin, Han, and Longtang, Chu
The emperor knew that they would only be filled with doubts, and they would not act rashly until the relationship between the two countries was clear.
"Zifang's plan is really clever. If it is false, it will be real, and if it is real, it will be false. This is good. Countries all over the world have been speculating for a long time."
"However, doing this will make the Huanyun Empire lose its face in front of all the countries in the world. Will the Huanyun Emperor go back on his words?"
Fang Xuanling expressed his worries. Emperor Chu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters. Emperor Huanyun chose to form an alliance with Wu Chu, which shows that he is a person with a very long-term vision. He believes in Gongzi Hao."
After returning to Huanyun Empire, Emperor Huanyun will understand my good intentions."
"Xiao Guizi, pass on my edict and order Tianmen to secretly protect Young Master Hao along the way, and ensure that they return to the Huanyun Empire safely."
Hearing this, Xiao Guizi took the order and left. All the ministers raised their fists and saluted, and then retreated. For a while, Emperor Chu was left alone outside Nuan Pavilion.
"Emperor Huanyun is generous and actually gave me the two great treasures of Huanyun."
Emperor Chu murmured to himself. He turned back and looked into the Nuan Pavilion. His eyes stopped on a beautiful figure. This woman was one of Huanyun's two treasures. (To be continued)
