Daxia Wensheng

Chapter 91 Welcome to the princess, stealing the country's fortune, there are many suspected cases, all parties are trying to make a balance 【Seeking Monthly Ticket】

And dear.

Yes, the Huns proposed peace.

In the lobby of the Confucian family in Kyoto.

Yang Kai looked at the letter in his hand and fell silent.

To be honest, what Yang Kai hoped most was that there would be no war between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Huns.

Now, the Huns have caught the culprit, and at the same time beheaded the soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty.

It can be regarded as the greatest face for the Great Xia Dynasty, and the murderer is indeed not from the Huns.

Of course, it is not clear whether these are true, at least on the surface, they are doing their best.

Between big countries, it depends on the way. As long as everyone can live with face, everything is easy to talk about.

After all, I don’t even want to fight such things as war. If you give me a step, I will give you a step. Now the Huns have indeed given a step, and the step is very large.

They all killed their own people, and this face is enough to calm all public grievances in the country.

But the only request made Yang Kai frown.

Marriage?

It's not that it's embarrassing to make a marriage, but that the Great Xia Dynasty made a marriage with the Huns, which he never thought about.

Will people resent this kind of thing?That's the first thing.

The second thing is that the Huns cut their own people by themselves, which cost a lot. After all, there is a saying called helping relatives but not helping others, unless the impact is too great, otherwise, it is impossible to cut down their own people.

Aren't these soldiers going to be chilled in the future?
The ins and outs of the whole matter are simply that someone pretended to be the Huns, burned and robbed, and if anyone didn't know, they were tentatively not the people of Daxia or the people of the Huns.

Anyway, someone pretended to be, and then the Daxia side thought it was the Huns. Without actual evidence, someone in the Daxia Dynasty ignored the order and cut down the Huns cavalry, but they also confessed to it.

Looking at this matter from the standpoint of the Huns, it is right to kill, after all, I don't love you.

But the Hun King chose to kill his own people to give the Daxia Dynasty a step up, and he did not hesitate to offend the entire army.

However, all this was done just for the sake of marriage.

Something weird.

If it was said that the Huns did this and then asked for some other benefits, he thought it would be no problem, but just getting married was a bit weird, too weird.

It's not that it's difficult to get married, but it's very easy to get married.

From Yang Kai's standpoint and point of view, getting married is nothing more than choosing a princess to marry.

Then the two countries are friendly, you are good and I am good, there is no war on the border, and mutual balance is maintained. Even because of the marriage, your people can do business with me, and my people can do business with you.

I need ore and iron, and you need firewood, rice, oil and salt, so how much benefit will it bring?What are the benefits?
If there is a war, the three armies have not moved, the food and grass go first, and the treasury still has three to four million taels of silver, all of which must be used as war reserve silver. First reward the three armies, then buy food and grass, and hire workers to make war weapons.

Because of the war in the country, the price of many things will inevitably increase. The aristocratic family will never miss this opportunity. Even the aristocratic family not far from the border may buy iron ore and make weapons to sell to the Xiongnu.

Then once the war broke out, not to mention any military supplies or food and grass, 500 taels of silver would be paid for each death, and the whole family would be exempted from tax for three years, plus some other benefits, such as if there are male offspring, they can go to private schools, by The government appropriation was reduced by half.

This is the welfare of the soldiers of the Great Xia. In this way, the soldiers can also fight with peace of mind, and the Great Xia will take care of everything after death.

After this battle, tens of thousands of people died is not an exaggeration, especially in the siege battle.

According to His Majesty's temper, the fight will take at least half a year, and the number of casualties is estimated at [-].

The silver alone is 5000 million taels of compensation, plus other things, at least 5000 million and [-] million taels of silver.

Not to mention the rest.

But if you send a princess to get married, you can directly stop the loss totaling [-] to [-] million taels of silver. In addition, it can also promote trade. After ten years, you may earn [-] to [-] million taels of silver.

That's one hundred thousand taels of silver.

The one-year treasury collection of the Great Xia Dynasty was [-] million taels of silver, and one woman brought five years of national tax revenue.

Isn't that a good thing?
In other words, regardless of whether the money is worth the money, if one person is sacrificed in exchange for the lives of [-] soldiers, the deal is too worthwhile.

It can be said that marriage is not a big problem, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would agree, even the emperor would agree.

It's just that he feels that this matter is a little different.

"Master Yang, after thinking about it for so long, do you think it's inappropriate to marry?"

Kong Ping made a sound, looked at Yang Kai, and asked.

As soon as these words were said, Yang Kai shook his head immediately.

"There's nothing wrong with getting married, I just feel that the behavior of the Xiongnu Kingdom is just for the sake of getting married, and I don't understand it." Yang Kai replied.

Express your doubts.

As soon as this remark came out, Kong Ping smiled slightly, and then replied: "In fact, the intention of the Huns is very obvious."

"Their national destiny has been cut, so they are naturally worried, for fear that the Great Xia Dynasty will declare war."

"That's why I chose to make peace and want to ease the relationship between the two countries. Furthermore, although the twelve cities on the border are occupied by the Huns, the Huns are not used to living in the city, and they lack too many supplies, and these supplies can only be purchased through Daxia Transportation. .”

"Otherwise relying on the Fuluo Dynasty, the price of the same item would be at least three times more expensive. Lord Yang didn't know that a bronze mirror would cost 15 taels of silver to sell to the Huns in the Fuluo Dynasty, while a copper mirror on the border of Daxia The mirror is only three or four taels of silver."

"In this way, it is the intention of the Huns to ease the relationship between the two countries by means of peace, and then trade with each other.

"Master Yang, worry too much."

Kong Ping spoke with a smile. At the same time, his analysis was clear and logical, and he seemed extremely confident.

As soon as this remark came out, Yang Kai couldn't help but nodded.

He was right, the main city on the border of Daxia was only fifty miles away from the Twelve City, but this mere fifty miles, there was a big change.

The Daxia border strictly forbids trade with the Huns, and it is a death penalty if caught. Although some people take risks, they cannot stand up to the strict border control, and there are many rogue bandits who rob their way.

As a result, the goods of Daxia could not enter the Huns.

Therefore, the Huns can only rely on the Dajin Dynasty in the north or the Fuluo Dynasty in the south.

The Dajin Dynasty is okay, the price is not too expensive, but the Dajin Dynasty lacks many resources, or the workmanship is not as good as the Daxia Dynasty and Fuluo Dynasty.

But the price of the Fuluo Dynasty was three times that of the Great Xia Dynasty.

In this way, the common people naturally couldn't afford it, but living in the city, they couldn't maintain their living habits in the plains, so they could only bite the bullet.

These are questions.

So what Kong Ping said is indeed reasonable.

"Since this is the case, the old man will enter the palace now and inform His Majesty about this matter."

Yang Kai nodded.

Although I don't know what the Huns are thinking, but no matter what, it is a good thing for the Great Xia Dynasty not to go to war.

"Master Yang, go slowly."

Kong Ping stood up and sent Yang Kai away.

After Yang Kai left.

The smile on Kong Ping's face became even stronger.

The butler came in without saying a word, just waiting for Kong Ping to speak.

"Tell the patriarch that the matter has been taken care of."

Kong Ping made a sound and ordered the housekeeper to come.

"Yes."

The latter nodded and then slowly backed away.

After the housekeeper left, Kong Ping couldn't help but look to the northwest. This direction was the Xiongnu Kingdom. But it was also the Zhenguo Mansion.

at the same time.

After leaving the Confucian Mansion, Yang Kai did not enter the palace directly, but went to the Ministry of Rites to deal with some official documents.

It's not that he doesn't believe the news from the Confucian Mansion, but he believes that the news from the Confucian Mansion must be fine.

It's just that the six large institutions of the Great Xia have not received the latest news, and the Kong family actually got the news one step earlier, which is a problem.

However, with such a huge intelligence capability, the Confucian family is not without reason. After all, the Confucian family has students all over the world. Even in the Huns, there are many people who respect the Confucian family and respect the sage as their teacher.

The great prince of the Xiongnu Kingdom admired the sage of all ages, that is, Kong Sheng, and had a very good relationship with the Kong family. He wanted to become a disciple of the Kong family many times, but because his status was too special, the Kong family did not agree to it for the time being.

Knowing the information in advance is not a big problem.

But if I really bring this news to His Majesty, I'm afraid it will offend His Majesty.

The Kong family can get the news, so it won't be long before the news of the border can reach the Ministry of Rites.

Waiting for the news to come to the Ministry of Rites, and then going to the palace, there will be no troubles.

But, at this moment, a voice sounded outside.

"Master Yang, your granddaughter is asking to see you outside."

As the sound sounded, Yang Kai was a little surprised in the room, never thought how his granddaughter came here so well?
"Let her in."

Yang Kai made a sound, although he was a little curious, he still made a sound immediately.

Soon, two figures appeared, one was Yang Hanrou, and the other was Fairy Yaochi.

"grandfather."

Walking into Shang's study room, Yang Hanrou immediately called out.

Looking at his granddaughter, Yang Kai felt a little more gentle, but after glancing at Yaochi, Yang Kai couldn't help but speak.

"This is a disciple of Linglong Immortal Palace, right?"

Yang Kai made a sound, he didn't put on a show, but he didn't look special, he just asked.

"Junior Yaochi, master Linglong, master of the palace, met senior."

Fairy Yaochi still behaved like a person in the immortal way, and bowed to Yang Kai.

Yang Kai nodded, then looked at his granddaughter.

"Why did you come here suddenly? Shouldn't you be in class at this hour?"

Yang Kai was curious, looking at Yang Hanrou and asking.

"Master has given us new assignments."

"My granddaughter doesn't understand, so she came here to ask you."

Yang Hanrou had a smile on his face. After all, he was his grandfather, so he seemed very casual.

"What's the matter? Can you be in such a hurry?"

Yang Kai made a sound and asked about his granddaughter.

"Grandpa, do you know about the Zhang Ming case in Bailu Mansion?"

Yang Hanrou asked directly.

"The Zhang Ming case?"

Yang Kai didn't know, and frowned a little at the same time, what was his granddaughter doing in this case?
Yang Hanrou didn't talk nonsense, and directly told Yang Kai the cause and effect.

After making it clear, Yang Kai couldn't help but frown.

"A decisive decision in eleven days?"

Yang Kai frowned, and felt that there was a problem after listening to it. In any case, it is impossible to close the criminal case in eleven days, and kill him directly.

This is a big problem.

But soon, Yang Kai couldn't help but make a sound.

"Is it about the ten years of Yongsheng?"

Yang Kai seemed to think of something, so he couldn't help but say so.

"Yes, Grandpa, it's ten years."

Yang Hanrou nodded.

"Then grandpa knows, the Ministry of Criminal Justice was restructured, and human trafficking happened in Baiqiu Mansion. Two hundred girls drowned in the river. It caused a catastrophic disaster, so His Majesty asked the Ministry of Punishment to restructure, and any case must be dealt with seriously and quickly."

"If there is no problem, the judgment will be made directly. Eleven days is indeed a bit fast, but at that time, His Majesty Longyan was furious, and the special approval of the Ministry of Punishment was normal, which is not surprising."

"What does Mr. Wen Jing mean by giving you this as a homework?"

Yang Kai remembered that if he changed to other days, he would feel that there was a problem, and it is obvious that there is a problem in the eleventh day.

But if it was Yongsheng ten years ago, the problem would not be a big problem. Two hundred girls drowned, which aroused public resentment and shocked the government and the public. Dozens of officials of the Criminal Ministry were directly ransacked and beheaded. As a result, the Criminal Ministry was forced to revise some regulations. Criminal cases must be strictly investigated and dealt with. Must check quickly.

Don't be sloppy, lest similar situations happen again.

So it was almost too soon to make a decisive decision in eleven days, but at that time, it was also a reasonable thing.

"That's what it is."

"Grandpa, Rou'er understands, so Rou'er will leave first."

Yang Hanrou didn't answer Yang Kai's question, and she didn't know why Su Wenjing did this, so she left directly after getting the answer.

"kindness."

"Go back to the academy and pay attention."

"By the way, Han Rou, no matter whether there is anything strange about this matter, you should be more cautious. You are a daughter, so you must not get involved in anything randomly."

Yang Kai reminded.

Although I don't know what Su Wenjing meant, but the dossier was taken from the Ministry of Punishment for no reason, and it was obviously for other purposes as a homework for these students.

If something that shouldn't be involved is involved, it will cause trouble, and the students of Daxia Academy are either powerful or famous. If they really want to be involved, no one dares to move.

"Understood, grandpa, let's go first."

Yang Hanrou nodded, then left quickly, returning to Daxia Academy to join the crowd.

After they leave.

A secret report was also sent quickly.

"Master Shangshu, border secret report."

As the officials entered, Yang Kai immediately took the secret report, and after reading it, his face showed a certain color.

Indeed, exactly as the Confucius family said, the Xiongnu king killed those generals, released more than 100 captives, sent envoys to negotiate with Da Xia, and at the same time wanted to make peace.

After getting the secret report, Yang Kai didn't hesitate and rushed to the prime minister's residence immediately.

Need to discuss with Li Shan one or two.

Two quarters later.

Yang Kai was in a hurry all the way, and when he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he didn't hesitate and handed over the secret report to Li Shan.

The latter read it carefully, and then fell silent.

"My lord, what do you think about this?"

Looking at the other party's silent expression, Yang Kai couldn't help asking to see what the other party's attitude was.

"If it's just a marriage, it's fine, it's a good thing."

"It's just that the intention of the Huns is definitely not as simple as a marriage. When you report this matter, you must be cautious in your words and deeds. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I will be the one who is unlucky."

When Li Shan spoke, he couldn't understand it, but he was very supportive of the marriage. It is a good thing to sacrifice a woman in exchange for the stability of Daxia.

It's just that the Xiongnu Kingdom spent a lot of trouble and paid so much price just to marry a princess?
This is somewhat unreasonable.

But the problem is, I can't think of other people's calculations, so I can only agree first, but you still have to be cautious, in case something happens, you and your relatives contributed to it, and the liquidation will definitely cause trouble for you later.

"Your Majesty understands."

Yang Kai nodded, and he knew it in his heart, but what he knew better was that Great Xia must not start a war.

Absolutely not.

With Li Shan's consent, Yang Kai stopped talking nonsense and rushed directly towards the palace.

He didn't hesitate.

With the secret report, go to Daxia Palace.

And this time.

Inside the palace.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Wei Xian stood aside, talking about some things in the capital.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Wen Jing has assigned his homework, and many dignitaries have already begun to investigate the case file."

"His Royal Highness went to the Ministry of Punishment, and Yang Shangshu's granddaughter also went to the Ministry of Rites."

Wei Xian opened his mouth and spoke seriously.

"kindness."

Emperor Yongsheng nodded.

And in front of him, there were five identical dossiers.

It was the file selected by Su Wenjing.

At this time, Wei Xian on the side couldn't help but speak.

"Your Majesty, ask the prince and others to investigate this matter, is there something wrong?"

Wei Xian made a sound.

He is a close friend of the emperor and knows a lot of things. He also has some memories of Zhang Ming's case. This case may involve a big matter, but he doesn't know what it is.

But there are some problems in asking Gu Jinnian and the others to investigate this matter.

"It's a good thing to let them suffer."

"Whether it's Jinnian or Daxia students, they need training."

"Furthermore, even if a group of children who have not reached the championship do cause some trouble, so what?"

"My intention is to let them suffer, otherwise, being protected by the tribe, something will happen sooner or later."

Emperor Yongsheng spoke lightly.

This matter is indeed very suspicious. He wants to use the hands of Gu Jinnian and others to investigate this matter, because many forces are involved behind this matter, civil servants, generals, and famous families are all involved.

Even as the emperor, he couldn't investigate this matter, but Gu Jinnian and others are different, they are the descendants of the powerful.

Letting them break the gap is a good thing.

Just break the gap, and he will handle the rest. Of course, if conditions permit, Emperor Yongsheng hopes that this group of people will suffer.

It's a big loss.

How can you become a talent without suffering?

"Your Majesty, what if the Duke of Zhen?"

Wei Xian continued to speak, saying so.

"Duke Zhen has already agreed, and he is happy to see this scene."

"There is no one who doesn't want his descendants to become talents. Jinnian has been treated like a son since he was a child."

"It was a good thing to avenge the people some time ago, but he still broke the rules. The imperial court has the imperial court's rules, and the world has the world's rules."

"He did a good deed, otherwise, for his behavior, the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty would have come to impeach him long ago."

"He needs to be tempered, and I will train him well."

Emperor Yongsheng stood up.

What Gu Jinnian did was a good thing from the perspective of the common people, and it was also a good thing from the perspective of a scholar.

But the problem is that he is too unscrupulous. It is a good thing for young people to have arrogance, but it would be better if they could be more tactful and smarter.

It is a smart person to hide the blade in a place where the enemy cannot see, and give a fatal blow at the critical moment.

But Gu Jinnian kept the blade in front of him all the time.

So he needed to teach Gu Jinnian some truths himself.

Carve out Gu Jinnian's jade in the rough, otherwise if he continues with this kind of temperament, big trouble will happen sooner or later.

Lord Zhen also had the same idea, and Su Wenjing also had the same idea, so the three parties wanted to reach a consensus.

Set this plan.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

"If His Royal Highness solves this case, then we will be gratified and congratulated."

Wei Xian spoke up and praised.

"It can't be broken."

Emperor Yongsheng shook his head and said firmly.

But at the end, he said something again.

"If this case is solved, then I will really be named a Marquis."

This sentence was a bit murmured, but Wei Xian on the side listened to it, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Liu Yan's voice sounded outside.

"His Majesty."

"The Minister of Rites, Yang Kai, asked to see him, saying that there was a secret report from the border."

with the sound.

Emperor Yongsheng walked out of the jade case, and Wei Xian immediately put away the file on the table and put it aside.

"Xuan."

Emperor Yongsheng spoke lightly.

Soon, Yang Kai's figure appeared.

He quickly walked into the hall, and then directly submitted the secret report.

"Chen Yang Kai, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"There is a secret report from the border, and I hope His Majesty will read it."

Yang Kai made a sound without any fuss.

At that moment, Liu Yan took the secret report and handed it to Emperor Yongsheng.

Opening the secret report, Emperor Yongsheng read the contents of the secret report with just one glance.

"And relatives?"

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Emperor Yongsheng was also a little curious. To be honest, if this secret report hadn't come from Yang Kai, he really thought it was a fake.

Although Daxia was unparalleled in bravery, if he really went to war with the Xiongnu, neither side would benefit much.

It's just that this time it's all on the line, the Huns forced Daxia to go to war, and as the emperor on horseback, Emperor Yongsheng would naturally not be weak.

But what I didn't expect was that the Huns actually made peace, not only peace, but compensation and an apology.

"His Majesty."

"I think this matter is a bit strange."

Yang Kai said, although he wanted to say that it would be good to stop the war, but this matter is indeed a bit strange, if he doesn't say anything, if something happens later, he will be the one who is unlucky.

So whether you agree or not depends on what the emperor wants.

After all, the attitude of the Xiongnu State is extremely low. To put it bluntly, they have done their utmost benevolence and righteousness. For any purpose of the court, this battle is a big deal.

"Strange?"

"What's so strange?"

Emperor Yongsheng looked at Yang Kai and asked lightly.

"The fact that the Huns lowered their profile so much just for the sake of getting married, I think it's a bit weird, but I have thought about it for a long time, but I can't think of the reason, and I hope your majesty will forgive me, I am stupid."

Yang Kai is a thief, whether he knows it or not, anyway, he just doesn't know, let the emperor figure it out by himself.

Anyway, I can't take the blame.

"In that case, we will discuss it tomorrow."

Emperor Yongsheng made a faint sound.

Since there is nothing to say, there is no need to say anything, and we will discuss it tomorrow.

"His Majesty."

"I believe that no matter what the other party intends, it is best to stop the war, and it will allow the Ministry of Household and Military Department to rest for a period of time."

"After all, if you just want to get married, I don't think it's a big problem. After all, marrying a princess is nothing."

Yang Kai spoke, although he knew that these words could not be said, but seeing that His Majesty did not directly agree, he still couldn't help but mention it.

Now, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry have all started to work. Stopping early can save a lot of unnecessary expenses and quiet the two countries.

So as not to cause complications.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow."

Emperor Yongsheng spoke out.

He didn't say anything, such a big matter, we still have to wait for the court meeting to discuss it.

"According to the order."

Seeing Emperor Yongsheng like this, Yang Kai didn't say anything.

"Send someone to the border to negotiate with the Huns to find out what it means."

However, Emperor Yongsheng still spoke like this.

"The minister leads the order."

Hearing this, Yang Kai's eyes flashed a gleam of joy, obviously Yongsheng Great also agreed to this matter.

After all, just getting married can resolve the war between the two countries and get a lot of benefits. In any case, this is not a loss-making business.

Emperor Yongsheng was naturally moved, but he just felt that there was no need for the Huns to do so.

Soon, Yang Kai withdrew from the hall.

Emperor Yongsheng didn't do anything. He returned to the jade case and asked Wei Xian to take the memorial and start the review process.

It's just that this first memorial is about things in the southeast island area, pirates, trade and other things.

in this way.

Until Haishi.

It was already dark.

The court of the Huns.

Two figures stood in the royal court.

The Hun King and a middle-aged Confucian scholar.

"Your Majesty, there is news to report that the Minister of Rites has met with the Emperor Daxia. There is reliable news that Daxia intends to make a marriage."

The middle-aged Confucian scholar looked at the Hun King with a smile on his face.

Hearing this, the Hun King didn't change much, but looked at the middle-aged Confucian scholar.

"Kong Ru."

"Marrying Princess Daxia, can you really borrow the fortune of Daxia?"

The Xiongnu King looked at the middle-aged Confucian scholar and asked.

Yes.

The person in front of the Xiongnu King was none other than the great Confucianist of the Confucian family.

However, this is not a very strange thing, disciples of the Confucian family are all over the world, the Xiongnu Kingdom, the Fuluo Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty, the Central Continent Dynasty, almost all the forces have the shadow of the Confucian family.

The descendants of saints are huge.

Although the orthodoxy is in Daxia, following the countless years of the Kong family, they have long understood the truth that all eggs should not be put in one basket.

The orthodox descendants of the Confucian family have also gradually gone to other countries to develop. If the Emperor Daxia is really determined to slaughter the Confucian family, then the Confucian family with the most orthodox blood will open a new orthodox mansion.

It's nothing more than changing the place, as long as the bloodline is orthodox.

At that time, Great Xia would also receive overwhelming criticism, and it was precisely for this reason that the Great Xia Dynasty did not take action against the Kong family, which was one of the fundamental problems.

"Your Majesty, as long as you marry the princess into the Xiongnu Kingdom, I will have a way to borrow the national fortune. Not only can it make up for the national fortune that was cut off a few days ago, but it can even enhance it a lot."

"The Great Xia Dynasty has nine destiny, and three of them are integrated into the national destiny. If you marry the princess, you can borrow the secret law of heaven and earth, and borrow the great Xia national destiny."

The great Confucianist of the Confucian family spoke with determination and confidence on his face.

As soon as the words came out, the latter nodded, looking very satisfied.

"If that's the case, sir, you will be my teacher of the Huns."

The Hun King said with great joy.

The fate of the country was cut, causing a lot of things. First, meteorites fell from the sky, killing the people of the Xiongnu, and the cattle and sheep were scattered.

At present, it has been regarded as a heavy loss, which is the disadvantage of the decline of the national fortune.

It also gave him headaches all the time, and he couldn't sleep at night.

Now he can make up for the fortune of the country, and even enhance the fortune of the country, he is naturally happy, and it only needs to be married to improve the fortune of the country.

This is not a difficult task for him.

"It's still the king who has the courage to kill two hundred cavalry."

The great Confucianist of the Confucian family spoke slowly and said this.

"No."

"If there is no Confucian plan, this king would not have thought of such a solution."

"Now that people have been killed, and the ceremony has been compensated, it is impossible for Daxia not to agree to this king's request."

"Once the fortunes of the country improve and you recuperate, ten years later, this king will set foot on the Great Xia and conquer the entire northwest territory. At that time, the Xiongnu Kingdom can be renamed the Dynasty."

The Hun King clenched his fists, this was his greatest dream.

It is impossible to occupy Daxia, which is completely impractical, but the possibility of taking back the entire territory of the Northwest is not small.

Once successful, he will be the strongest king on the grassland, King Khan.

"I would like to congratulate you in advance, Your Majesty has completed his hegemony."

The great Confucianist of the Confucian family smiled all over his face.

in this way.

In Daxia Academy.

Gu Jinnian and the others were gathering in the gazebo, all of them looked calm.

Gu Jinnian, Yang Hanrou, and Li Ji received the same news.

The Ministry of Punishment was restructured, so this case was specially approved and sentenced to death for eleven days.

There is no problem.

After about a quarter of an hour.

Two figures appeared quickly, the leader was Wang Fugui, and the one behind was Jiang Yezhou.

The two appeared, somewhat out of breath.

"Any news?"

Seeing the person coming, Yang Hanrou got up directly and asked Wang Fugui.

"call."

"call."

Wang Fugui took a deep breath, then shook his head, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

"I've already found someone to check, and hastened the information along the way. There is really something wrong with this matter."

Wang Fugui spoke.

At that moment, Gu Jinnian couldn't help getting up.

Sure enough, the Emperor Shangao was far away, and this was the capital of Daxia. Although he controlled the whole country, it was impossible to put things in front of him too carefully about what happened three thousand miles away.

"what is the problem?"

Gu Jinnian spoke up and asked Wang Fugui.

"Someone from my family is doing business in Bailu Mansion. I have questioned many people. This Zhang Ming didn't like gambling at the beginning, and he has a daughter, not a son."

"And he didn't sell his wife or daughter. Instead, he said that his daughter seemed to have disappeared, and then his wife also disappeared."

"That's why Zhang Ming started to be addicted to gambling. As for selling children and selling daughters, I don't know. Anyway, after his wife and daughter disappeared, they drank all day long. There must be alcohol addiction. My family is in the wine business."

"But the incident has passed for a year or two, and Zhang Ming is not an important person. In addition, he just killed a servant of a rich family. There is no disturbance, and there is very little news."

Wang Fugui spoke, this is the news from Bailu Mansion.

"daughter?"

"Missing wife and daughter? Alcohol like life?"

Gu Jinnian frowned, these were all things that were not written in the dossier.

"Is there something wrong with the dossier?"

Yang Hanrou frowned, and couldn't help but speak, looking a little puzzled.

"It's not necessarily a mistake."

"After all, what you know is also what other people say, and it may not be true."

"The Ministry of Punishment should conduct an investigation and write it on the file. There will be no major mistakes, otherwise it is not a trivial matter."

Su Huaiyu made a sound.

He was very calm, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with the dossier, but thought the information was inaccurate.

"Brother Gu, what news did you get?"

"Is there a problem?"

Jiang Yezhou made a sound, looked at Gu Jinnian and asked.

"The Ministry of Punishment has been restructured and the case has been specially approved."

Gu Jinnian replied lightly, but at the same time couldn't help frowning, looking at the file on the stone table.

for a while.

Everyone fell silent.

One by one fell silent.

"Actually, as far as I'm concerned, let's sum it up directly. At first, I also felt that there was a problem. Later, I asked someone, and it was very clear that it was a special approval case file. Maybe we really thought too much."

Li Kei spoke.

He was really interested in it at first, thinking that he wanted to solve some big case and show off his skills.

But what I didn't expect was that the result was the restructuring of the Ministry of Punishment, and I lost interest in it for a while.

"If it really is the restructuring of the Ministry of Punishment, then there is really nothing to say. Maybe we are thinking too much."

Jiang Yezhou followed suit and said so.

"Actually, I think there should be nothing wrong with this file. If something is really involved, it is impossible for Mr. Wen Jing to let us deal with it."

"After all, we are all students, and it is not our turn to check the case files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Yang Hanrou followed suit.

There is nothing logically wrong.

"Maybe we are overthinking it."

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now. Anyway, it's still early. If it's really me who thinks too much, then I'll sum it up and hand in the paper at the end of the month."

"Everyone, go to rest."

Seeing everyone like this, Gu Jinnian also nodded.

This matter is certainly not as simple as imagined.

There must be another secret.

It's just that everyone gets too little information, and it's inevitable that some people don't have a clue.

After saying this, Gu Jinnian left directly.

In any case, there are still more than 20 days to go, and there is no rush for this kind of thing.

Gu Jinnian left.

Su Huaiyu followed behind with the dossier.

The rest of you look at me and I look at you. After thinking about it, I don't know what to say, but in the end they went back separately.

on the way back.

Su Huaiyu's voice could not help but sound.

"Actually, there is a way to find out the truth."

Su Huaiyu made a sound, reminding Gu Jinnian.

"any solution?"

Gu Jinnian was a little curious.

"It's simple, seeing is believing."

Su Huaiyu said lightly, telling the only way to solve the case.

seeing is believing.

Hearing this, Gu Jinnian frowned a little.

"You mean, go to Bailu Mansion? Investigate it yourself?"

Gu Jinnian asked.

"The most direct way for the Criminal Ministry to investigate the case is to go there in person."

"There is not much information on the dossier, and there is not much information obtained. If someone wants to conceal it deliberately, even if they are in the capital, they don't even want to know the inside story."

"Although the Bailu Mansion is three thousand miles away, if you hurry up, you can get there in two days."

Su Huaiyu answered.

He was right.

I really want to investigate this case, and it will definitely be rewarding to go there.

In fact, Gu Jinnian also had this idea, but he was a little bit smart when he left the capital.

After all, with my identity, what if someone plots against me after I go out?
"No hurry, wait and talk."

Gu Jinnian spoke.

"You are afraid that you will be plotted against if you go out, aren't you?"

Su Huaiyu saw through Gu Jinnian's scruples at a glance.

"not quite."

Gu Jinnian didn't deny it, but he didn't admit it either. It's natural to be afraid of death, but there were more reasons why he wasn't prepared enough.

If you really want to go, you have to discuss it with your family, or if something goes wrong, at least there is someone to take care of you.

Another point is that you have to make use of the ancient trees.

See if there is any information.

And counting the time, people from the Fuluo Dynasty and the Dajin Dynasty are probably leaving soon.

The assassination is estimated to happen soon, and when this incident is over, it will be fine for him to leave the capital. At that time, no one will dare to mess around.

It happened once, it can't happen again.

at the moment.

It's a troubled time.

I can't even go there myself, let's just wait and see what happens.

Without saying anything more, Gu Jinnian went back to the dormitory to rest.

The next day.

It was just dawn.

Daxia Palace.

In the hall.

A fierce quarrel broke out.

Yang Kai was the first to say the matter of the Xiongnu Kingdom's marriage.

It is hoped that the two countries will be friendly and turn hostility into friendship.

However, as soon as this remark came out, civil officials and Confucian officials agreed one after another, but most of the generals quit.

No one knows what happened to this matter, and no one knows what conspiracy is inside.

But the problem is, Daxia has suffered a disadvantage, and now he still wants to get married?
In exchange for not declaring war?

None of these generals could bear it.

Although the Huns explained clearly that it was a misunderstanding and offered to apologize, many generals refused to agree to the word "friendship".

If you want to say that the Xiongnu sent women over for marriage, then they can accept it and let the Daxia women go to the Xiongnu country?
They refused.

The quarrel was very fierce, from Maoshi to Weishi, it lasted a whole day.

Each has its own reasons.

But in the end, the matter was settled.

Agree to make love.

However, instead of sending a real princess, the daughter of a minister was hand-picked, named a princess, and married off to the Huns.

Candidates are selected by the Ministry of Rites.

This is the final answer.

Because no matter from whose point of view you look at this matter, except for people who sound a little disgusting.

A woman, in exchange for national peace and economic prosperity, is not a loss-making business anyway.

Even if the generals are not convinced, but in the end, they can't say no to this group of civil officials and this group of Confucian officials.

Just dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction.

The most fierce one was Changyang Hou, who refused to agree from the beginning to the end.

But there is no way, Emperor Yongsheng spoke up.

Moreover, although the generals refused to agree, they were mostly out of anger. In addition, fighting was a good thing for them. They hadn't fought for more than ten years, and they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to use their last energy.

But war is not a battle of wills.

More considerations are economic issues.

So no matter how much the court quarreled today, as long as it could not prove that the Xiongnu had evil intentions, the result would definitely be a marriage agreement.

The meeting is over.

The Ministry of Rites immediately began to select the minister's daughter.

At the same time, the news was also spread to the Huns.

So that he can prepare to send someone over to marry the princess.

Of course, prepare a bride price, these are indispensable.

After the news of the marriage was spread in Kyoto, it also caused huge controversy in an instant.
