The general is on the queen of Xixia

Chapter 96 Grumpy Brother

In the third year of Hongwu, Great Xia and Tubo went to war. Facing the powerful military power of Great Xia, the divided Tubo retreated steadily. A large number of Tubo tribes lost their eastern territories and began to migrate westward on a large scale.

At the beginning of the fourth year of Hongwu, the harsh geographical climate in the northwest made it impossible for the Tubo tribe to retreat, and secretly united with the Uighurs to resist the invasion of Daxia.

In the same year, the Uighurs sent troops to aid Tubo, and Wu En sent another 30 cavalry to attack the Xizhou Uyghurs in the north. Daxia defended against the enemy on both sides, and the pressure doubled.

The war consumes a huge amount of money every day, and Daxia, who has just become rich, has started to tighten his belt again. Wu En not only canceled the planned palace, but also has been thinking about choosing people to make Daxia's good voice and stage plays. Such plans can only be temporarily shelved.

The funds in the treasury are getting less and less, so Lord Wei, the minister of the Ministry of War, suggested that it is better to negotiate a peace with Tubo and the Uighurs and ask for gold and silver.This proposal was also endorsed by many civil servants.

Wu En asked someone to remove the official hat of the minister of the Ministry of War on the spot, and gave a reason of fear of war to drop three ranks in a row.Originally, he wanted to kill chickens and monkeys, to eliminate the ethos of shrinking from a fight in the court, but unexpectedly, a group of ministers knelt down and begged Wu En to pardon Mr. Wei.

One person or two people is begging, and a group of people is persecuting.

As a result, Master Wei was not only not pardoned, but his crime was aggravated, and he was imprisoned in Dali Temple on the charge of forming a party for personal gain.

Wu En turned down with a gloomy face, left behind a group of ministers who were still kneeling, and returned to the harem, calculating how much he would have to pay to take down Tubo and Uyghur along the way.

The irritable Wu En walked back and forth in the royal study, looking at the territory map of Daxia and surrounding countries. In her eyes, Tubo and Uyghur would merge into Daxia sooner or later. Since Tubo took the initiative to provoke her, how could she give up? reason?

The unity of the courtiers shocked her. Although retaining some of the gentry from the previous dynasty eased the conflict between the Dangxiang tribe and the Han people, the ethos of the civil servants of the former dynasty was unknowingly brought to the new dynasty.

Fortunately, she firmly held [-]% of Daxia's military power. Otherwise, if Zhao Zhen were to handle the situation today, he might not be able to fight even if he wanted to. Wu En is not happy to see the situation where the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats rule the world together.

She said that if she wants to fight, she must fight, and there is no room for doubt.

At noon, the scorching sun was scorching the earth, some of the courtiers kneeling outside the hall were weak and fainted.

An hour later, the servant came to report, and several people passed out.

Someone emotionally yelled such a rebellious slogan, "A country that forgets war is always in danger, and a country that is warlike is easy to perish."

When Wu En heard the report, she sneered again and again, and she wanted to see who dared to say such a thing.

When the ministers saw Wu En coming, one of them crawled excitedly and hugged Wu En's thigh, crying:

"Your Majesty, Mr. Wei is dedicated to the country. If the Emperor is self-willed, it will be different from tyranny of Qin!"

Just pointing at his nose and calling himself a tyrant, Wu En was already trembling with anger, pulled out the saber at his waist, pointed at the brazen courtier, and shouted:

"Tell me one more time!"

The courtier was so passionate that he forgot himself.

"If the emperor is self-willed, how different is it from the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty!" If he is really killed by the emperor, he will definitely leave a clear name in the history books in the future, and it will be passed down through the ages, so why not be afraid!

Wu En flipped his hand and raised the blade, and there was about to be blood splashed on the spot, but no one dared to stop Wu En at this moment, fearing that he would also become the soul of Wu En's sword.

A hand grabbed Wu En's arm, and Wu En, who was furious, grabbed the hand on his forearm and planned to throw him out.

When he touched the familiar catkin, Wu En was startled, and could barely retract his strength.

Liu Xiyin was pulled by Wu En and her whole body leaned forward, but fortunately Wu En responded in time to support her.

"What are you doing here?" Wu En was on the verge of erupting, his face was flushed with anger, and his half-closed eyes were almost as sharp as a sharp sword when he spoke. Will be sacrificed to the knife.

Seeing that the emperor did not make any more drastic moves, the head servant felt that he had finally stopped the court that was almost out of control, and it was worthwhile for him to run desperately with his old legs to invite the empress.

"Your Majesty, can I go out with my concubine? I have something to tell you." Wu En frowned and looked at Liu Xiyin, then at the courtier kneeling on the ground.

Seeing that Wu En had no plans to go out with her, Liu Xiyin continued:

"Your Majesty, just for a while, okay?"

The two stalemate for a while, before Liu Xiyin managed to drag Wu En out.

After Wu En went out, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, and all looked at the courtier who uttered wild words with condemning eyes. Everyone just wanted to save Master Wei, and it would be even better if they could persuade the emperor to cease fighting. Zhuzi jumped out and made the emperor Longyan furious, but don't let everyone die!

Liu Xiyin ordered the maid to bring a chair, let Wu En sit down, and brought a cup of tea for Wu En to drink.

"Xiyin, what the hell is going on, I'll get rid of that bastard first!" Wu En was about to get up.

Liu Xiyin quickly pushed her back on the chair.

"Ah Qing, I know why you are angry. Think about it carefully. Why is Emperor Qin Yingzheng called a tyrant?"

At the word tyrant, the veins on the chief servant's head twitched. Why are you afraid of something?

Sure enough, Wu En threw the teacup on the ground, and said angrily, "Isn't it just burning books and burying Confucianism? I think this group of sour Confucians are harmful to the country, and it's better to bury them!"

"Ah Qing, I never thought Ying Zheng was a tyrant. He is as great a king as you are." Liu Xiyin said seriously.

Isn't this still comparing Wu En to Emperor Qin?

However, miraculously, Wu En was not furious after hearing this, but was stunned instead.

Unified six countries, unified characters, unified currency and weights and measures, and created an imperial system that lasted for thousands of years. Why does such a person only have the impression of a tyrant?

Don't talk about comparing Wu En with Qin Shihuang, Wu En only now feels that his achievements are not as good as others.

If it is said that the world is tyrannical, which emperor who opened up the land does not have a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood?If you talk about burning books and burying Confucianism, the literary inquisition in the Qing Dynasty was not inferior at all. If you talk about seeking immortals and asking questions, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty was much more than Yingzheng.

"But just because he burned books and robbed Confucian scholars, he offended the Confucian scholars all over the world. So far, when everyone talks about the First Emperor, the word tyranny cannot be avoided."

This "Historical Records" was written by Confucian scholars.

"All the mouths make money, and the accumulation destroys the bones. Ah Qing, do you understand?" Liu Xiyin raised her hand and straightened Wu En's messy bun when she was angry.

The maids and servants all lowered their heads. How could the emperor who was furious like a tiger just now turned into a docile cat?

"Heh, if you say I'm a tyrant, that's right! I don't care!" The man couldn't understand the hatred in his heart if he didn't kill him, and Wu En was really motivated to kill.

"I care." Liu Xiyin said solemnly, "My Ah Qing is so good, why should future generations maliciously distort the comments?"

Now, no matter how angry Wu En was, he couldn't vent his anger, and his heart would be melted by Liu Xiyin's soft words.

Wu En, who was praised like this, rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "I am far behind Qin Huang, Xiyin, please don't praise me."

After Wu En listened to Liu Xiyin's persuasion, Mr. Wei was demoted from his position and exempted from the crime, and that courtier was just dismissed from office.

A bloody storm in the court hall was turned into invisible by the queen.

Wu En was still thinking about taking down Uyghur and Tubo, and Tuoya, who was in Xingqing Mansion, also rushed over for this matter.

It is still within the acceptable range to win Tubo, but at the same time, the cost of fighting the Uighurs is too high. The only way is to destroy the alliance between Uighurs and Tubo.

The documents for the peace negotiation were sent to the Uighurs, but the other party's condition was that Daxia promise not to invade the Uighurs within a hundred years.

Wu En was not reconciled, and the negotiations between the two countries reached a deadlock.

"Sigh." Looking at the map, Wu En sighed a lot.

"Thinking of how happy it was when we attacked Xiliao in the north and the Song Dynasty in the south, but now we are restrained."

Seeing Wu En's dejected face, Liu Xiyin comforted her:

"Great Xia has established a country not long ago, and its foundation is not stable. When the country becomes stronger in the future, there won't be so many worries."

"But once I promise, I will never see the day when I win the Uyghur in my life."

A hundred years, don't talk about yourself, I'm afraid Ba/Ter will never see that day.

"Then let the king of future generations do it. Ah Qing has done everything, what will the descendants of future generations do?"

Wu En pinched his chin. What Liu Xiyin said was not unreasonable. Genghis Khan fought all his life and finally died on the expedition. Wu En didn't want to do that.

I figured it out, and my mood improved a lot.

"Xiyin, you can remember everything from your previous life, maybe there really are immortals in this world!" I still time-travel.

Liu Xiyin's beautiful eyes contained doubts, why did Wu En suddenly mention this?

"Do you think there will be an elixir of immortality—hiss! Xiyin! Pain, pain, pain!"

Liu Xiyin grabbed Wu En's ear and said sternly:

"Ah Qing, if you dare to search for immortals like other emperors, and ask for Taoism, Taoist priests come and I chase one away, and if there is one alchemy furnace, I smash one!"

"Yes yes yes! The empress said yes! I dare not!"

In the end, the Great Xia and the Uighurs reached an agreement that they would not invade each other's territory within a hundred years, and establish a mutual market to facilitate trade between merchants.

A year later, Tuoya led [-] female soldiers to join forces with the north, and in the winter of the fifth year of Hongwu, completely occupied Tubo.

The author has something to say:

The missing persons have returned, and I have been on a business trip recently, and I have been slowly coding on my mobile phone every day. I have actually written several chapters in my hand, but I wrote them backwards!That's right!

I wanted to post it every time I finished writing, and found that I needed to make up some content, so I wrote another chapter, and then I felt that I could add something, so emmmmm. . . .

When I wrote this, I suddenly felt that Qin Shihuang could open a brainstorming article, the story of the irascible old lady, but I refused it for the time being.
