Chapter 2272: Terrified countries, the time to enthrone
Chapter 2272: Terrified countries, the time to ascend the throne has arrived
Luoyang, Embassy of the Song Dynasty.
"Report... inform my lord that important information has been sent from Chang'an."
The Wude Division reports, and the Wude Division is the predecessor of the Imperial City Division.
After all, Zhao Kuangyin is only the Duke of the country now. He has not yet claimed the title of king, nor does he have the capital to claim the title of emperor. Naturally, the country's intelligence agency is embarrassed to call it "Imperial City".
"Chang'an?"
Zhao Kuangyin raised his eyebrows, with a vague feeling of bad premonition in his heart, and asked: "Report quickly."
"Yes, just two nights ago, ten unidentified Grand Masters suddenly appeared in Chang'an and directly moved the Tang Palace to the ground."
"What?"
Zhao Kuangyin was so shocked that he stood up directly.
Ten great masters? You don’t need to think about it to know that they must have been sent by the Qin State. After all, except for the Qin State, no other force can dispatch so many masters.
If the ten great masters can level the Tang Palace, they can also level the Song Palace, the Wei Palace, and the Chu Palace.
This kind of absolute power is really terrifying.
What really surprised Zhao Kuangyin was why Qin was doing this? Is it just to beat Tang? Or was it killing chickens to scare monkeys and using Tang to warn other countries?
Also, the agreement between the hundreds of families still exists. If Ying Hao breaks it up so openly, isn't he afraid that the hundreds of families will join forces to cause trouble? Or is Qin no longer afraid of the hundreds of families joining forces?
Thinking of this, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but feel confused, and immediately said: "Contact Uncle Gongming quickly and ask him to pay attention to the movements of the Baijia. We, the Song Dynasty, must get the information of the Baijia as soon as possible."
"promise."
........
Not only Zhao Kuangyin, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, but also envoys from other countries were shocked by this sudden news.
After the Tang State surrendered to Qin, it still refused to give up and constantly tested Qin's bottom line. The top leaders of various countries knew that Qin would definitely retaliate, but they did not expect that Qin's revenge would be so violent.
Tang Guoming only had one great master on his face. Is it necessary to dispatch ten great masters? This is not killing a chicken with a dagger.
Obviously, Qin's purpose was not just to beat Tang, but to warn other countries by beating Tang.
Qin is telling them that even if they don't use the army, there are ways to deal with them. If you are restless, don't blame Qin for not respecting martial ethics.
Although the Baijia Agreement stipulates that no grand masters are allowed to take action, it is still easy for the Qin State to find loopholes. For example, this time, all ten grand masters dispatched hid their identities.
Although everyone knows that the person was sent by Qin, as long as Qin refuses to admit it, no one can prove that it was Qin who did it.
This makes all countries very powerless. The binding force of the Hundred Families Agreement is too low. No one wants the great master of Qin to appear in their capital.
"Quickly, contact the people from the Bai Family and ask them to put pressure on Qin. As long as Qin can continue to abide by the Baijia Agreement and not send the Grand Master to fight, our Chu State is willing to pay any price." Li Mi, the special envoy of King Chu.
ordered.
This situation not only occurred in Chu State, but also in Shu, Ming, Sui and other countries. This time they were really panicked.
The reason why they dared to unite to put pressure on Qin before was because they knew that Qin's national power had been exhausted in many battles and could no longer use large armies to attack them. They only dared to provoke Qin when they were emboldened.
giant.
But when they learned that Qin actually had ten great masters and directly wiped out the Tang palace from Chang'an, they no longer dared to provoke Qin.
After all, if the great master of the Qin State can appear in Chang'an, he can naturally appear in Xuchang, Changsha, and Chengdu. No one wants to suffer half the same humiliation as the Tang State.
Now all the countries can only place their hope in the Baijia, hoping that they can make Qin abide by the Baijia agreement. Everyone should not play these underhanded tricks, but have an upright duel on the battlefield, so that everyone is good for you and me.
Just when all the countries were frightened by Qin's actions, Ying Hao ignored the voices from the outside world.
At this time, a child who looked 60% similar to his childhood appeared in front of Ying Hao, and he was none other than Ying Qi who was rescued from Chang'an by Li Cunxiao and others.
"Look, the eyebrows, the nose, they look exactly like Hao'er's when he was a child."
Jia Yu held the child and looked up and down, her eyes full of joy.
My own son failed to live up to expectations and only gave birth to three grandchildren. Now that he suddenly has two more grandchildren, he is simply doubly happy.
In addition, this grandson looks very much like his son when he was a child. This is three times the joy.
Although Ying Qi was surrounded by everyone, he didn't have any stage fright. He looked at everyone present with curiosity in his eyes without fear.
Qin Wen, who was sitting in a wheelchair, couldn't help but nod secretly when he saw this scene and said, "It does look very similar."
Seeing this, Ying Hao said helplessly: "Okay, parents, don't scare the child." But in his heart, he ordered the system: "Test the five dimensions of this child."
[Okay, Yingqi Peak Five Dimensions: Commander 94, Force 97, Intelligence 89, Politics 96, Charm 98;
Yingqi has not yet reached its peak, the current five dimensions are: Commander 0, Force 3, Intelligence 15, Politics 7, Charisma 78;
Ying Qi: The son of Ying Hao and Li Xiuning. He and Ying Lin are twin brothers. He has excellent qualifications. If he is carefully cultivated, he will definitely be able to break his own limits.】
Seeing this, Ying Hao no longer had any worries in his heart.
As soon as he saw this child, he knew that it must be his own cub. After all, he did look very similar, but he was not afraid of anything but the worst.
What if Li Xiuning couldn't bear the loneliness and found a man who looked very similar to herself? Ying Hao didn't want to have a piece of grassland above his head to raise someone else's son.
The method of identifying relatives by shedding blood was created during the Three Kingdoms period and has always been regarded as the only magic weapon for identifying relatives by the ancients. However, in fact, the accuracy rate is only about 60%, which has great limitations.
There is currently no method that can 100% identify blood relatives, and Ying Hao doesn't believe in blood recognition, but the system is absolutely infallible.
The system says that Ying Qi is his biological child, so he must be his biological child. There is no mistake.
As the counterpart of Ying Hao and Li Xiuning, Ying Qi's talent is very good and he is an all-round talent with no shortcomings. Of course, the premise is that he cannot be left to waste.
If the son fails to teach, it is the father's fault.
If Ying Qi has such a good talent, if he becomes a playboy in the future, then Ying Hao, the father, will definitely be the primary responsibility.
After confirming that Ying Qi was his biological son, Ying Hao couldn't help but think of Li Xiuning. This woman was still as brave as ever. Just because she dared to give birth to two sons for herself and break up with her brother Li Shimin, this woman made her own decision.
Ying Hao picked up Ying Qi, knowingly asking the consultant: "What's your name?"
Ying Qi was not afraid of Ying Hao at all, and said obediently: "Li Qi."
"Who gave you this name?"
"Mother, mother said that my brother and I are unicorns given to her by God."
Upon hearing this, Ying Hao asked again: "Has your mother ever mentioned your father?"
Ying Qi looked disappointed: "No, not even once. Even if I asked my mother, she wouldn't tell me."
Ying Hao was stunned, and after a short silence, he said: "From today on, I, Ying Hao, will be your father. There is one more thing to remember. Your name is not Li Qi, your name is Ying Qi."
"..."
Ying Hao and Ying Qi communicated for a long time and asked about many things, such as: Li Xiuning has not been happy these years, and Li Shimin did not abuse his two sons, etc.
The two children, Ying Qi and Ying Lin, were born relatively early and are now almost five years old.
Yingying, the eldest son born to Mu Guiying, is almost six years old now.
Ying Han, born to Zhao Min, and Ying Yan, born to Cai Yan, are almost three years old.
Therefore, if Ying Qi and Ying Lin return, they will be the second and third sons of Ying Hao, while Ying Han and Ying Yan, who were originally ranked second and third, will be the fourth and fifth sons.
Ying Hao originally had three sons and five daughters. If Ying Qi and Ying Lin were added, the number would be five sons and five daughters. The number was not small, but it was still very few in the royal family.
This is also the reason why Qin Wen and Jia Yu knew that Ying Qi and Ying Lin were illegitimate, but still asked Ying Hao to rescue their two grandsons.
For a prosperous family, having an illegitimate child may be a shame to the family, but if the population is not prosperous, inheritance is the first priority.
"Seniors of the Shangqing Sect, thank you very much, Ying Hao, for rescuing Quanzi this time."
Ying Hao bowed sternly to Yun Xiao and other great masters. They protected Ying Qi and took one step ahead of Li Cunxiao, returning to Luoyang with Li Jing.
"Your Majesty, if we can rescue Mr. Qi this time, the Qin State will contribute more. We are just the icing on the cake."
Yun Xiao replied on behalf of everyone, while also observing Ying Hao, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: He is really too young.
Ying Hao is not yet 25 years old, but he has built a huge Qin State in these troubled times, and is about to proclaim himself emperor. This achievement is rare in ancient times.
In addition to his power, Yun Xiao and others also discovered that Ying Hao's own strength is not weak either. He has reached the late stage of Grand Master, and he can expect to become a Grand Grand Master in the future.
No wonder the master asked us to go down the mountain to help King Qin. Yun Xiao and others thought secretly.
While Yun Xiao and others were observing Ying Hao, Ying Hao was also observing Yun Xiao, the four great masters who had both strength and beauty, and thought to himself: Master, you are such a cruel creature.
Ying Hao tested the attributes of the four people and found that the average charm of the four of them was above 97, and the most beautiful Yunxiao and Jin Ling both exceeded 100.
Such four peerless beauties ended up being old maids in the mountains, unmarried even in their thirties and forties. Isn't this cruelty to nature?
"No, we have to find a way to keep them forever." Ying Hao thought to himself.
The Shangqing Taoist asked his female disciples to go down the mountain to help the Qin State, but when the Qin State unified the world, they would definitely go back and die alone in the mountains.
Naturally, Ying Hao didn't want to let them go back to the mountains, but if that day came, he would have no good excuse to keep them, and the only way was to let them get married and start a family in Qin.
Although the four people in Yunxiao still look like they are in their twenties, their average age is actually over forty.
They will definitely look down on young people in their twenties, and among their peers, all of them must have been married, and it is impossible for a great master to be a concubine.
"It's difficult to handle."
Ying Hao thought to himself, and then when he saw Kong Xuan behind him, a strange color flashed in his eyes. He thought that they should be of the same generation, so he asked: "Kong Xuan, how old are you? Have you ever been married?"
Kong Xuan was stunned, obviously he didn't expect the Lord to ask him this.
"My lord, the last general is thirty-eight, so he is naturally married. However, the first wife of the family died due to dystocia, and there are currently only two concubines."
Ying Hao's eyes lit up. It would be fine if he didn't have a wife. Having a concubine shouldn't have much impact.
After looking at Kong Xuan's handsome appearance and one of the best fighting prowess in the world, it shouldn't be a problem to conquer one of the four beauties of the Shangqing Dynasty.
If even Kong Xuan can't do it, Ying Hao really can't think of anyone else under his command who can marry these four people home. He can't do it himself, right?
In fact, it is not impossible for Ying Hao to succeed on his own. For the sake of the country, as the emperor, Ying Hao should sacrifice himself.
But the Yunxiao Golden Spirit in his thirties was fine, and the ten-year gap was acceptable, but the Turtle Spirit in his forties was incompetent. He was almost a step older than Ying Hao, and he really couldn't afford to take action.
Li Cunxiao is really smart. He kidnapped Bixiao and Qiongxiao, the two youngest ones. Ying Hao thought to himself.
"Ahem, Kong Xuan, I have a difficult task. Apart from you, I really can't think of anyone else." Ying Hao said with some embarrassment.
Kong Xuan was overjoyed and said quickly: "Leave it to the general. I will definitely live up to my lord's expectations."
Ying Hao showed a mysterious smile and asked: "What do you think of the four seniors who just joined the Qing sect?"
"..."
Kong Xuan had a question mark on his face, but he still said truthfully: "He has good strength and good temperament. Even among the great masters, he is considered powerful..."
"Who asked you this? I'm asking you what they look like? Are they your type? Which one do you like?"
"..."
Kong Xuan suddenly had a black line: "Lord, this kind of joke cannot be made randomly."
"What's the point? They, Yunying, are unmarried, and you are the unmarried wife. You are both great masters. Aren't you a good match?"
"Uh? This?"
Kong Xuan was speechless for a moment, but Ying Hao put his hand on his shoulder and said with a smile: "I believe you know the importance of the Grand Master to a country without me having to say more, and your mission is to
Marry one of them and let her stay in Qin forever.
How about it, do you have some confidence? If you can't do it yourself, I can help you create opportunities."
Hearing this, Kong Xuan was completely stunned.
At this moment, Ying Hao's image in his heart completely collapsed.
After persuading Kong Xuan forcefully, Ying Hao began to look for a candidate, but after much deliberation, he couldn't think of a suitable one, so he could only suppress the idea for the time being and leave it to be considered later.
"My lord, General Li Cunxiao has escorted Princess Xiuning of Tang State back and is seeking an audience outside the mansion."
"Ha, I've had enough of being cool outside, and now I'm finally willing to come back. Let Li Cunxiao go report to the Ministry of War. I don't want to see him now." Ying Hao snorted unhappily.
"promise."
Li Cunxiao was missing, but Li Xiuning still wanted to see her. After all, she was not alone and had another son with her.
Even Ying Hao found the scene of Li Xiuning's mother and son reunited very touching.
Li Xiuning gave birth to two children by herself and raised them by herself for so many years. It was inevitable that she felt a little resentful towards Ying Hao.
After learning that Ying Hao sent ten great masters to rescue Ying Qi and directly wiped out the Tang Palace, most of Li Xiuning's resentment towards Ying Hao disappeared.
"Xiu Ning, you should have told me earlier about the child. You have been wronged over the years."
A simple sentence of comfort made Li Xiuning's resentment disappear. He pulled his two sons over and said: "Qi'er, Lin'er, haven't you been asking, who is your father? He is your father, please call.
father."
"father."
"well."
At this point, father and son recognized each other, and the grudges between husband and wife were completely resolved.
Ying Hao did not keep Li Xiuning overnight in the palace. Although they had two children, they were not married yet.
Li Xiuning is now married as a princess. Before the two got married, even to show respect, Ying Hao could not keep her overnight in the palace, so he placed her in the Tang embassy.
Late at night, Li Xiuning lay down on the bed when she heard movement outside the window. She was alert and immediately took off the sword hanging beside the bed.
squeak……
The window was pushed open, and then a black shadow jumped in. Li Xiuning acted decisively and drew his sword.
rub……
The sword was thrust out, but the attacker put his fingers together and clamped the tip of the sword.
"Xiu Ning, you have surpassed the master level."
A familiar voice came, who could it be if it wasn't Ying Hao.
Hearing this, Li Xiuning breathed a sigh of relief. Then his face turned red again, and he said nervously and expectantly: "It's so late, why are you here?"
Ying Hao showed a gentle smile and reached out to hug Li Xiuning into his arms without permission: "I haven't seen you for so many years, and I want to catch up with you."
"You, just reminisce about old times, don't take off your clothes."
"It's too hot..."
The big bed shook, and the whole room was filled with spring scenery.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and finally the day came for Ying Hao to proclaim himself emperor.
