When Tang Ao said the last sentence, his eyes clearly showed kindness. It could be seen that his heart was not as calm and calm as what he said in his mouth.
"According to the order." All the generals agreed with serious faces, and then they paid solemn military salutes and left the imperial tent one by one.
It didn't take long for Tang Aozhi's words to fly out as if they had wings. When they heard it in the ears of all the soldiers, everyone was moved. They knew how much their emperor had paid, and they became even more... They clearly know how they should behave next to repay His Majesty's concern for them.
After using a large amount of gold and silver, the Longya and Anxiang organizations have already grown stronger, and their power and tentacles have penetrated into all aspects of Daqian. Thanks to this, Tang Ao's four orders also spread at a fast speed When he got out, he soon became known to everyone in the world.
...
With the Hun army between Luohe and Huashan, the Hun King Huyangai looked at the letter sent by his subordinates and was written by the Emperor of China, and threw it aside with disdain. "Is this to threaten me? ?”
With a sneer, Hu Yangai added with a sneer: "This is enough to show that the young Emperor Hua is afraid. Even so, I want to see if he really has the courage to kill us Huns. Clan, come on, give the order, let the 150,000 troops in the early stage speed up, notify General Meng Luo, fight this battle well, and let Emperor Hua know that we are not afraid of him."
When he said these words, Huyangai was very confident. When he left Hutuo City in the North, he took all the men in his family with him. As for the remaining old and weak, They were also sent to the nearby old forest.
There are so many birds and animals there that even locals will get lost if they go in, and they may encounter various dangers, not to mention outsiders like the Chinese Army. There is not much chance of finding your family. Bar.
Besides, for many years, foreign races have been invading the Central Plains and killing the people under the rulers of the Central Plains. It has rarely happened that the Central Plains army went to kill the foreign people. This is all because the people of the Central Plains are reasonable and value the people. Virtue, this is equivalent to putting many constraints on oneself invisibly.
In contrast, their alien race is different. They are completely based on the world of fists. What they talk about is who has the biggest fist, and what he says is the last word and the truth.
It is precisely a habit that has been formed for a long time that leads to the current double standards. That is, the aliens can harm the people of the Central Plains, but the people of the Central Plains absolutely cannot kill the people of the aliens. Such an emperor who kills too much will eventually It will only make people tremble and will be tolerated by the people of the Central Plains.
Hu Yangai was not threatened, or he did not believe what Tang Ao said, thinking that the other party was just trying to make a fool of himself. In fact, he would not dare to do this even if he was given a knife. Compared to Although he was calm, Tang Jia jumped up in anger in Daliang City.
The content of Tang Ao's edict has been transmitted to the imperial palace, and with the help of Longya and Anxiang, it soon spread to the entire Daliang City.
Now all the civil and military officials and the people in the city knew what the Huns were doing in Yuzhou. Many people even said that the reason why Lu Zhengde, the commander-in-chief of Yuzhou, adopted a policy of non-resistance was because he gave the order.
The conscience of heaven and earth!
Tang Jia had never given such an order to Lu Zhengde. This man was completely a weakling. He would surrender to whoever was more powerful. Even if he did not have to write a letter, the other party would not dare to become an enemy of the Huns. After all,
, even if he wrote a letter and gave an order asking him to resist, Lu Zhengde still had to dare to do it.
How can people not be angry when they blame him for something they clearly didn't do?
"Tang Ao, why do you accuse me? If you have the ability, you can go and destroy the Huns." Tang Jia, who became more and more angry as he thought about it, couldn't help but say.
"Your Highness, Academician Confucius and the ambassador are here." The voice of a servant of the royal family came from outside the door. When Tang Jia heard it, he could only suppress his anger and said: "Inform them to go to the main hall.
Wait for this king."
In the main hall, Kong Fu and Hou Dexing were sitting on the reception chairs. From time to time, they would look at each other and make eye contact that was brief and incomprehensible to others.
Kong Fu is the person Tang Jia trusts the most. Kui Qian'er has learned that good steel should be used on blades, and these days he has been arranging for Hou Dexing to give him money. The previous two million taels have deeply aggravated the relationship between the two parties.
Friendship, and this time in order to find a way out for the Huns, Hou Dexing gave another two million taels of silver to Kong Fu.
The two of them had agreed long ago that once the Huns went north, Da Qian's army would need to cooperate. For this, Kong Fu got money. Now the requirement is still the same, but the cooperation has been changed to Da Qian's army sending troops to pacify the city and give Da Qian an army.
The Chinese army only caused pressure. To put it bluntly, it was a strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west.
Another two million taels of silver were delivered to him, and the greedy Kong Fu had no reason not to accept it. So he and Hou Dexing came to Prince Shun's Mansion, and the only thing they did was to persuade Tang Jia to send troops.
Sending troops is a big deal, and it is not easy to persuade. But now that Wei Qian'er has promised various benefits, and Tang Ao has criticized him, this has actually become an assist, giving Kong Fu more confidence to promote it.
this matter.
After waiting for a cup of tea, Tang Jia finally appeared. At this time, the angry look before was no longer visible on his face.
He held his hands behind his back and walked slowly and leisurely. Although he was only in his twenties, he looked very wealthy and noble. He could have imitated the appearance of those in power.
"I have met His Royal Highness the Supervisor."
"The foreign minister has met His Royal Highness the Supervisor."
Kong Fu and Hou Dexing stood up and saluted one after another, showing great respect.
Tang Jia just did this and liked others to call him His Royal Highness, Jian Guo, instead of Your Highness. Just the addition of these two words is enough to show how much he loves face.
"Get up." Tang Jia nodded gently, then sat down at the main seat.
Kong Fu and Hou Dexing also found seats on the left and right sides. Then Hou Dexing was the first to speak: "Your Highness, the foreign minister has already known what Emperor Hua said. To be honest, the foreign minister
I’ll also fight against the injustice for you.”
"Yeah." Tang Jia continued to nod, but his face became a little cold, and he was obviously a little angry again.
"Your Highness Jian Guo, Da Qian and the Xiongnu were originally friendly countries. Over the years, they often helped each other and did not invade each other. But since the emergence of Emperor Hua, everything has changed. He first sent troops to Goryeo, then the Western Barbarians, and then
It is Beidi, and now it has set its sights on our Xiongnu. The foreign minister feels unfair. But what makes the foreign minister even more unexpected is that now the Emperor Hua has set his sights on His Highness Jianguo. This
He clearly wants to deal with you just like Goryeo and Beidi. He is spying on the world of Daqian and the throne of Emperor Daqian."
When Tang Ao heard Tang Ao's words that he wanted to be the emperor, he became even more displeased. In his eyes, this position was already within his grasp, and he would never allow anyone to do so. It is within the reach of others. Anyone who wants this position can only be his enemy.
While talking, Hou Dexing paid attention to the changes in Tang Jia's face. When he noticed that the other party was really angry, he felt confident and continued: "Your Highness Jianguo, now Huadi has set his sights on Your case has aroused the discussion among the ministers and the whole city. At this moment, His Highness Jianguo cannot back down, otherwise what we know is that you have a righteous heart and do not want brothers to kill each other; those who don’t know still think that you are Jianguo. His Highness is afraid of Emperor Hua and Tang Ao."
"Oh? What do people say outside?" Tang Jia, who was interested, asked back.
"Oh, Your Highness Jian Guo, people outside say it is very unpleasant. It is said that Tang Ao can fight, much more powerful than you, the emperor's younger brother. At this time when the world is in chaos, it is better to incorporate Da Gan into the Hua Kingdom. This way Then a big war can be avoided. He also said that even if there is a fight, Daqian will not be Dahua's opponent. Even so, it is better to surrender earlier and save fewer lives."
"What? How dare they." After hearing this, Tang Jia couldn't sit still anymore and stood up directly, staring blankly.
The merger of Daqian into Dahua is of course a good thing for the people. They don't have to fight or go through the baptism of war, and they won't lose anything. But it's different with Tang Jia. His The throne that is about to be obtained will fly away, and he will change from a master to a minister. It is even possible that he will make Tang Ao unhappy, become a criminal minister, and become a prisoner.
Therefore, anyone may surrender to Tang Ao, but Tang Jia will not.
Unexpectedly, Tang Jia became angry. Hou Dexing felt proud, but continued to say, "Of course, no matter what the officials and people think, our master will definitely support His Highness the Supervisor. And Our mistress also said that she can help you get the throne earlier."
"Wait a minute, what do you mean?" Tang Jia interrupted the other party and asked with confusion on his face.
"Your Highness Jianguo, the foreign ministers also know a little bit about the situation of Daqian. Although you are the supervisor now, and there are no other princes around Emperor Daqian. But there are no other princes now, which does not mean there will not be in the future. There are still some princes of the Tang family. Those who are living abroad, once they come back, it may not be certain who will own the throne."
"No, my father will definitely pass the throne to me." At this moment, Tang Jia kept shaking his head, obviously displeased with Hou Dexing's statement.
"Your Highness Jianguo, everything is just in case. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Just like the prince, eldest prince, Prince Xiang and others before Daqian, none of them were satisfied with the throne, but in the end they What will happen? In other words, God’s grace is unpredictable. Emperor Daqian is just unwell and is temporarily recuperating. Once he recovers, who knows what will happen? My master is also worried about this. In order to express our sincerity, our master is willing to help His Royal Highness realize this long-cherished wish, and we are willing to contribute people and even money." Seeing that the heat was almost over, Hou Dexing explained the purpose of his trip. .
