Liu Xia had just been in office for three days and was suddenly very busy.
As for the reason, the envoys from the Tianxuan Dynasty are coming to visit. Basically, you will have such activities every year.
However, this time the Tianxuan Dynasty's envoy was unprecedented in scale.
As for the reason for the visit, it seems to be because of a disputed territory outside Panlongji, where soldiers from both sides clashed almost a month ago.
However, because of the timely reinforcements from the northwest border garrison, the Tianxuan Dynasty did not gain any advantage.[
However, both sides captured many prisoners of war. This visit was to resolve the conflict.
The Tianxuan Dynasty and the Tianji Dynasty had constant territorial frictions with each other.
Liu Xia was in the northwest. Although the border areas had been stabilized in recent years, such frictions occurred from time to time.
Fortunately, it was protected by the Panlong Spine, and Tianxuan's cavalry and Dharma Chief drove straight in.
However, I am afraid that there is not a moment when the Tianxuan Dynasty is not thinking about the Tianji Dynasty.
The Tianji Dynasty is also thinking about the Tianxuan Dynasty all the time.
No matter which emperor he was, he was more enthusiastic about things like opening up territories and expanding his territory.
The emperors of these two countries all wanted to become an emperor through the ages like the King of Wei again.
Sit on the entire Dragon Soul Continent, surrender from all over the world, and establish a lasting legacy.
If it is normal times, the Imperial Guards are divided into four squads and take turns to be on duty.
However, if there is such a grand event, everyone will be involved.
As the deputy commander, Liu Xia had just taken over and had just remembered the names of the personnel, so he naturally seemed a little confused.
On this day, Liu Xia appeared in the palace majestically, wearing dragon armor and a dragon sword at his waist.
His mission is to protect the emperor personally.
Responsible for guarding the Golden Palace.
The so-called Golden Palace Guards are people who stand in the Tianji Palace and can rush to protect you as soon as possible if an accident occurs.
In the morning, Liu Xia went around for a tour. After feeling that something was wrong, he returned to Tianji Hall to wait for orders.
However, today's morning meeting seemed to be extremely long. One was the issue of exchange of prisoners of war, and the other was the demarcation of specific boundaries. These ministers expressed their opinions and argued endlessly.
After finally waiting until the morning court dispersed, after final preparations in the palace, the envoys of the Tianji Dynasty finally appeared from Zhengyang Gate.[
Liu Xia stood outside the Tianji Palace and saw the envoy from the Tianxuan Dynasty from a distance. This time, there were sixty people in the envoy, and the leader was Kun Yulong, the prime minister of the Tianxuan Dynasty.
The Kun family was the most powerful family in the Tianxuan Dynasty.
Liu Xia had heard of him before. The so-called Bei Kun and Nan Zhang, this Bei Kun, refers to the Kun family in the north.
The Kun family is rich in fine war horses, especially armored beasts, which are unique to his family.
This kind of monster is extremely fierce. Not only is it huge in size, it is also agile. When the two armies faced off, this armored beast had the upper hand.
This time the Tianxuan Dynasty sent Kun Yulong here, which is really interesting.
At this moment, in the entire palace, the Royal Guards had three floors inside and three floors outside, which were impregnable.
The palace has also been decorated and given a new look.
In the past, we were all members of our own family, so we were too lazy to bother like this, but now that outsiders are here, they still want a front.
Kun Yulong looks to be in his seventies, with gray hair and a stooped figure. He is wearing a loose court dress and looks increasingly thin.
However, although this man is old, he still walks with the pace of a dragon and a tiger, and he has an aura of looking down on the world.
Behind him were the envoys, all of whom were in high spirits. Even when they arrived at the palace, they held their heads high and showed no sign of weakness.
However, what caught Liu Xia's attention was a man in black following Kun Yulong. His age was about the same as Kun Yulong's, but that man looked like a shadow in the darkness, although he was not
He looks up at you, but it makes you feel as if he is staring at you all the time, which makes you shudder.
It is estimated that this person is Kun Yulong's personal bodyguard, and his cultivation level is probably astonishing to the heavenly level.
Judging from the appearance alone, the cultivation level of this envoy is not low, and there are peerless masters hidden inside.
The strength of Tianxuan Dynasty and Tianji Dynasty has always been between Zhong Bo, which is also an important reason for the constant friction between the two countries.
The envoys immediately stopped by the Jinshui Bridge and stood solemnly, waiting for the emperor's summons.
After a moment, Silence came out of the Tianji Hall, stood on the steps and shouted: "The Holy One has a decree, and the envoys of the Tianxuan Dynasty are here to pay an audience."
Immediately, the envoys entered the Tianji Hall under the silent leadership.
This Kun Yulong was obviously not here for the first time. When he saw the emperor, he knelt on one knee and saluted.
This was the etiquette of an envoy. The emperor stood up and said with a smile on his face: "Everyone who has come from afar, please get up quickly."
At this moment, Kun Yulong and others slowly stood up.[
Afterwards, the two parties exchanged friendly and cordial greetings. Liu Xia stood in the hall with a solemn expression, but she felt that it was more ridiculous.
Eighty percent of the time, these two groups of people want to get up and destroy each other right away. This country and country, like people, have too many scruples.
However, everyone seemed to know it well and never mentioned the exchange of prisoners of war and border demarcation. They kept testing each other's words and cordially expressed condolences to each other's families.
After some vigorous greetings, the emperor stood up very happily and said: "My dear friends, you have come a long way and are covered with dust. When night comes, I will be at the Taihua Palace to wash away the dust for you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. The ministers and others will take their leave."
After saying that, Kun Yulong took the people and left here.
After sending Kun Yulong away, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, looking uncertain.
In the evening, when the lanterns were first lit, the entire palace was ablaze with lights, and the envoys from the delegation arrived at the Taihua Hall.
Taihua Hall is behind Tianji Hall. Under normal circumstances, the emperor would choose to banquet his officials there.
After the guests and hosts were seated, the palace maid danced gracefully in the center of the hall.
The sound of silk and bamboo, the changing of cups and cups, and the atmosphere became more and more lively for a while.
It was as if each other were old friends whom we hadn't seen for many years, and the polite words were spoken one after the other.
Accompanying the emperor to the dinner were officials from the three public and six ministries of the current dynasty, cabinet ministers and three princes.
Liu Xia then stayed in the main hall.
Halfway through the banquet, Kun Yulong raised his wine glass and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty, the last time I came here was more than ten years ago. Along the way, I saw the Tianji Dynasty updated and prosperous. It can be seen that your Majesty's ability to govern the country is very impressive.
admire."
After saying this, the emperor smiled generously and said: "The way to govern a country is like organizing a family. I dare not slack off at all times."
"Haha, this is the blessing of the Tianji Dynasty. Your Majesty's civil and military skills are second to none in the world. The Tianji Dynasty is also vast in territory, rich in resources, and has a vast territory. I think your Majesty will not take that mere hilly area to heart."
Kun Yulong smiled lightly.
This finally got to the point.
Everyone chatted all night and finally got to the point.
"Kun Aiqing, what you said is wrong. Our Tianji dynasty has a vast territory. This is true. However, the land of Maru was obtained through bloody battles by the ancestors and people of our dynasty. How can I succeed to the throne?
Xuezhuang Gong and others? Although the place is small, it is also the territory of our Tianji Dynasty, and I will not allow any inch or strand to be lost."
The emperor smiled slightly and said.
Duke Zhuang is a well-known prodigal emperor in the Dragon Soul Continent. He was invaded by the barbarians before and had to cede territory to pay compensation. He was extremely cowardly and was one of the top ten weak emperors in the Dragon Soul Continent.
"Haha, what your Majesty said is absolutely true. My Majesty also means the same thing. However, this Mahui Po area is not the territory of your Tianji Dynasty. I don't think it can be called a mistake, right?"
Kun Yulong smiled disdainfully.
"Kun Aiqing, what you said is wrong. Ever since our Tianji Dynasty was established, our people have lived here. Why is it not the territory of our Tianji Dynasty?"
"Simple, at the beginning of the Tianji Dynasty, they signed a boundary agreement with our country. The credential states that everything north of Wenling Mountains is our territory. Later, Emperor Xuanzu of the Tianji Dynasty built the Panlong Spine. From then on,
again and
We discussed with our ministers and set up a boundary monument, stipulating that the north of Panlong's Ridge is our territory. This Mahui Slope is north of Panlong's Ridge, so it is naturally our territory. And your Majesty's border guards have repeatedly crossed the border.
Don’t know what to do?”
Kun Yulong raised his head, not afraid of the emperor at all, and talked eloquently.
Liu Xia knew Mahuipo well. Mahuipo is a place with steep mountains and forests, surrounded by wetlands and hills.
When Panlong's Ridge was built, there was no way to start construction there, so there was no Panlong's Ridge around Jahui Slope.
Later, troops were stationed there, and since then, it has become a controversial location.
Since there is no obvious national boundary like Panlongji, there are always stops and starts there.
This isn't the first time, and I believe it won't be the last either.
It's just that this time, everyone was more violent.
"This is wrong, Kun Aiqing. We both know it well. There is no dragon's spine there, so how can we talk about national boundaries? In the thirty-fifth year of Taichu in Tianji, our ancestor Renzong and your country revised the country again.
In the book, Jockey Club Po Qingfeng Terrier was used as the national boundary and a boundary monument was built. In my opinion, it seems that you are crossing the border this time. I would like to ask Qing Ai Qing, what do you want to do?"
The emperor smiled disdainfully.
"Your Majesty, although our emperor respects the Tianji Dynasty, he will not be afraid of you. Mahui Slope is an inalienable territory of our empire. If you, the Tianji Dynasty, insist on taking it, don't blame our emperor for being unkind."
At this moment, the emperor stood up suddenly and threw the wine glass to the ground with a snap.
He said slightly angrily: "If you want to fight, then stand. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
At that moment, all the maids and officials in the palace came out and knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, calm down."
Liu Xia knew clearly that this was just talk and not a real fight.
If there is a real fight, and the challenge is declared directly, why are they still photographing the envoys?
In that place, a single move can affect the whole body, and it could lead to an all-out war between the two countries.
This time, the Tianxuan Dynasty sent an envoy, obviously not wanting to fight.
The negotiations seem to have reached an impasse at this point.
At this time, Kun Yulong stood up calmly and said: "Your Majesty, I am paying homage to His Majesty Tianxuan and thinking about all the people in the world, so I sent my ministers to come to negotiate peace. Your Majesty really does not need to be angry. Why don't we follow Emperor Rui's example and make a bet?
Win or lose. Demarcate the national boundaries. In this way, firstly, we can avoid the loss of life, and secondly, we can prevent the two countries from becoming enemies. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
According to legend, during the Daqing Dynasty, the founding emperor of the Daqing Empire led his troops to the far north of the Xuan Dynasty and drove out all the people of the Hong Dynasty.
When the opponent ran out of food and became a trapped beast, Lei Zhentian, the last general of the Hong Dynasty and the prime minister of the dynasty, proposed to use chess to determine victory or defeat.
If he wins, he asks Emperor Rui to let his men escape. If he loses, they stop resisting and surrender.
Emperor Rui agreed, but in the end, Emperor Rui lost.
After Lei Zhentian won, he committed suicide in front of him. Emperor Rui sighed and said: "This man is really a model of loyal ministers, no one can match him." At that time, the general returned to the court and let the soldiers live.
This is an allusion in the Dragon Soul Continent. Kun Yulong said this today because he wanted to make a bet with the current emperor and decide the outcome in a battle.
