Chapter 358 The Beginning of a Powerful Country
----

Woo!Woo!Woo!
At the beginning of the Great Dynasty, in front of Yeting in Quanpu, a tall and sturdy man held a bronze horn high, and the sound of the horn echoed over Yeting.

tread!tread!tread!
Groups of soldiers were hovering around. Xun Shaoyu was dressed in imperial robes, wearing a Wu sword on his waist, and a jade crown with golden spikes hanging from his head. Surrounded by ministers, he walked step by step into Huayang Palace.

There are 330 stone steps at the gate of Huayang Palace. Xun Shaoyu stepped on the stone step by step, and the ministers on the left and right guarded it. There were armored soldiers standing on both sides of the stone at each step.

Xun Shaoyu's eyes were clear and he looked at the throne at the top of the palace, where the ministers and officials were seated on the left and right respectively.

"My lord, please come and take your seat!"

"My lord, please come and take your seat!"

"My lord, please come and take your seat!"

Amidst the noisy voices of the ministers and officials, Xun Shaoyu pressed his palm on the hilt of his saber and stepped up to the palace.

On top of this seventh-level bronze majesty, there is a bronze table with a three-legged incense burner on it, and there is a half-open and half-closed treasure box, with a gold seal quietly placed in the box.

Xun Shaoyu turned around and sat in front of the copper case, with a terrifying light shining in his eyes.

The officials in the palace looked at the impressive Xun Shaoyu with excitement on their faces.Although Xun Shaoyu was already the legitimate new king, he still exercised the authority of the king.But according to the rules, a newly promoted king is truly recognized by the world after he accepts congratulations from envoys from all countries.

Since the outbreak of the turmoil that spread to the entire Lu State, the strength of the Lu State has been greatly weakened. It is a time when the country is in trouble and people miss the wise king. From the nobles and honorable ministers to the common people in Guizhou, everyone is looking forward to the return of the Lu State to its prosperity again.

And Xun Shaoyu fought in big battles and small battles for more than three years. With his own merits and strength, he eliminated obstacles one by one, allowing all the officials of the Lu State to see that only Xun Shaoyu is the real future of the Lu State, and only he can The country of Lu prospered.

"My ministers and ministers, as I ascend the throne, you will live up to the ambitions of your ancestors, prosper the business of my country, and build the foundation of my country." Xun Shaoyu looked at the ministers in the palace and declared his ambition to the officials.

"My ministers, we will wait and see!!" Hundreds of ministers in Huayang Palace knelt down and kowtowed, and responded in unison.

Xun Shaoyu stretched out his hand and pressed it on the bronze case, and said slowly: "Look, gentlemen, how a few people can prosper my country of Lu. How great is the country of Lu for generations to come!"

Hearing that Yuanming and other senior ministers cupped their hands and said, "The monarch has great ambitions, and I and other senior ministers will definitely assist me to live up to the monarch's current ambitions and strengthen my country and the country of Lu."

Today, Wen Yuanming's status is almost the same as that of Xun Shaoyu. He holds the title of "zaifu", and his granddaughter Si Langhuan is the heroine of the inner court and Mrs. Lu Guo.The power of the Wen family was stronger than that of Lu Wenhou. The power was only subordinated to Xun Shaoyu, and for a time he was on par with Xun Shaoyu.

Xun Shaoyu said leisurely: "I have ascended the throne, and envoys from all countries have arrived. I have summoned them to visit Huayang Palace. I want to entertain them."

The ministers in the palace held their hands one by one: "No!"

…………

In the Huayang Palace, under His Majesty the King Tong, there are tables and tables set up left and right, with different specifications.

Looking at this Fang Nuo Da Huayang Palace, there are almost three hundred tables set up, among which one hundred and fifty are for the officials of Lu State, and the remaining one hundred and fifty are for envoys from various countries and elders of ancient clans.

"Envoys from all countries come to see your princes!"

A shout resounded through the palace, and a well-known servant summoned each other, reaching the ears of Xun Shaoyu, who was seated firmly in Huayang Palace.

These chamberlains are full of confidence, at least they are people with deep martial arts skills. They stimulate the energy in the internal organs, and every loud shout is like thunder.

Xun Shaoyu responded calmly: "Xuan!"

"Xuan, envoys from all countries come to see the king!!"

Several summons sounded at the same time, and the voices scattered over the sky of Yeting, and did not disperse for a long time.

"Envoy of Zheng!"

"Envoy from Song Dynasty!"

"Envoy Xu!"

"Envoy from the State of Cao!"

"Envoy from Dongguo!"

"The envoy of Qi State!"

"We will see the princes, the princes will last forever!" Headed by Zheng Guo, these are the six princes, and the envoys of the six countries have an audience with Xun Shaoyu who is sitting high.

"When all the countries come to court, it is a blessing for the state of Lu and a blessing for me, Shaoyu Xun."

Xun Shaoyu watched the envoys from all the countries in the palace sit down one after another. His eyes opened and closed, and there was a touch of strange color.

There are many countries in Yuzhou, including seven big and strong countries, and countless weak and small countries. Now that Xun Shaoyu has ascended the throne, envoys from all countries have come to congratulate him. This is a grand occasion.

"The prince is overly praised. With his young body, the prince used his sword to kill Song Dynasty general Nangongcuo and defeated the Song Dynasty's 30 troops. He is so heroic. Lu is another heroic leader!"

The envoy from the Song Dynasty sneered, looked around the palace, and spoke first, saying: "Your Majesty is so powerful, I believe that the great prosperity of the Lu Kingdom is not far away."

The envoy from the Song Dynasty spoke sharply and aggressively, which made many officials from the Lu Kingdom frown, and even made the envoys from several countries look at Xun Shaoyu with increasing vigilance.

Alliances and attacks between princes are no trivial matter, and countless families and people will be destroyed if they are not careful.

"Maybe it's not far?"

Xun Shaoyu shook his head and sighed, and immediately refuted: "The envoy's fallacy, I have established the Lu State for eight hundred years. No one at that time knew that the Lu State was poor and declining. It was not as good as the Zheng and Song Dynasty's ten thousand years of foundation, and it was not as good as the four kingdoms of Cao, Xu, Dongguo, and Qi. Tongde, my country, Lu... is an isolated country, how can it prosper?"

The envoy from the Song Kingdom stood up aggressively and said: "Marquis Lu is so humble. If Marquis Lu hadn't thought that the Song Kingdom was not worth mentioning, how could he have been in trouble with the Song Kingdom?"

"Your country has misunderstood, how could you deliberately embarrass you." Xun Shaoyu said lightly: "Song Xuanhou is my elder! No matter how lawless Xun Shaoyu is, he would not dare to embarrass the elders. It is a pity that Xun Shaoyu is Marquis Lu, you should protect the people of Lu State."

"The Song Dynasty repeatedly invaded our borders, especially the Nanyang Rebellion. When the late king was in danger and the Lu Kingdom lost its master, the Song Dynasty even launched a massive attack on Lu. Xun Shaoyu had to resist, and millions of people in our Lu Kingdom had to resist."

"Hahaha……"

The envoy from the Song Dynasty laughed loudly and said: "Marquis Lu is good at whitewashing. Why don't you say what you have done? What have you done? The young master is the eldest son of Marquis Wen, and he should succeed to the throne. And you The concubine gave birth to fourteen sons, but when the young master was about to ascend the throne, he sent troops to plunder the land of Lu, causing chaos among the young masters."

"Now Marquis Lu has got what he wanted, but I don't know how the world sees Lu Guo and you, the monarch of Lu Guo. Your reputation as a great thief who stole the country during your time is enough to be passed down to future generations."

"Bold,"

"rude,"

The ministers of Lu State looked at him angrily, and many of the military officials were even eager to try. They put one hand on the hilt of the sword at their waist, and their tiger eyes showed murderous intent.

The words of the envoy from the Song Dynasty really hurt Xun Shaoyu. Xun Shaoyu fought bravely in the south and in the north, but as he got to this day step by step, there was always a lot of conspiracy and tricks.And these past experiences are ready-made excuses for criticism.

If this envoy from the Song Dynasty was just criticizing in secret, that would be all.But in front of the ambassadors of various countries, such unscrupulous criticism of Xun Shaoyu was simply a prelude to a complete rift between the two countries.

Above the dynasty, all the countries congratulated him. How did the other princes, big and small, feel about the Song Dynasty being so aggressive?

What's more, Xun Shaoyu is not an ordinary king. He is a figure with the power of heaven, humans, gods and demons. No matter when and where he is, he can stir up changes in the situation.It was simply a casual thing for a person like this to crush the envoy of the Song Dynasty to death, a cultivator who had just entered the master level.

"The envoy's intention, is it the intention of Song Xuanhou?" Xun Shaoyu looked at the Song envoy indifferently. The atmosphere in Huayang Palace became tense for a while, and many envoys were silent.

The envoy from the State of Zheng glanced at the envoy from the State of Song in surprise. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his expression was calm and calm, which was especially obvious among the many envoys.

The envoy from the Song Dynasty opened his mouth and said: "My prince is modest in nature, and he will not disagree with Marquis Lu in person like me. It's just that Marquis Xuan has a noble daughter who is married to Marquis Lu Wen. Now that the new Marquis Lu has succeeded, I don't know if I can give way to him." Your noble daughter, mother and son, return to their former homeland?"

At this moment, the Song Dynasty finally realized that this was the purpose of the Song Dynasty envoy, who planned to bring Si Xuanyun's mother and son back to the Song Dynasty. Using the title of the eldest son, Xun Shaoyu might not be able to get into chaos. A mess of hands and feet.

Xun Shaoyu glanced at him indifferently and said slowly: "My wife, I missed your late king and became ill. He passed away a few days ago. My son is very filial, so I'm afraid he won't be able to travel far."

The Song envoy was shocked, pointed at Xun Shaoyu, and said: "You..."

No one expected that Xun Shaoyu would be so ruthless, and he decisively let Si Xuanyun die of illness without even considering the Song Dynasty.

Xun Shaoyu looked cold and said slowly: "The wife of the late king passed away due to illness, and I am heartbroken and devastated!"

"What a heartbroken person, Marquis Lu is indeed a 'pure filial piety'." The envoy from the Song Dynasty sneered and asked: "Marquis Lu, did my noble daughter really die of illness? I want to see your daughter's body, do you dare to let me Exploration one or two?"

His family knew his own affairs, and Si Xuanyun had reached the level of [Refining Qi and Transforming God into God], and had developed a soul's magical power, which was said to be immune to all evils. How could it be hurt by so-called diseases and evils.Not to mention living to the limit of three hundred, another one or two hundred years is more than enough.

"Too deceiving!"

Hearing that Yuanming slapped the case, he stood up, stared with a pair of tiger eyes, and said: "Envoy of the Song Dynasty, please pay attention to your words. My princes and princes respect you threefold from the Song Dynasty. That's why you did not take any action after you provoked you again and again. And not only do you not know Proper and humiliating our kings and princes repeatedly, could it be a bloody battle? I, the Lu State, have not beaten you, the Song State, to pain?"

Hearing Yuanming's threat, the envoy from the Song Kingdom retorted: "Hahaha... We, the Song Kingdom, have a million troops, and your little Lu Kingdom only had a slight upper hand after the first battle, and you are bragging to this point. It's really ridiculous and pitiful." "

Xun Shaoyu, who was firmly on the throne, said decisively: "Then let's fight again and see if the quality of my Lu country is worthy of your careful treatment by the Song Dynasty."

"Marquis Lu..."

Marquis Lu's unhesitating attitude made the Song envoy scream sharply and said: "A war between the two countries is not a matter of child's play. Do you, Lu, really dare to fight against millions of Song troops?"

Xun Shaoyu said word by word: "This battle is not necessary for our country of Lu, but if our country of Lu does not fight, you, the Song Dynasty, do not know the blood of the people of my country of Lu."

Seeing the scene where Xun Shaoyu was about to start a war with the Song Dynasty if he disagreed, all the princes and envoys looked at each other, and the last thought of temptation in their hearts quietly disappeared.

If he didn't have the fighting power of gods, humans, gods, and demons, how could Xun Shaoyu be so arrogant, directly pointing the finger at the Song Dynasty, and even threatening to fight the Song Dynasty.The Song State was the second largest prince, and the Lu State, who dared to fight against the Song State, had the confidence to make other countries think deeply.

Xun Shaoyu patted the bronze case and said, "Come on, pull the Song envoy out of Huayang Palace and throw him out of Yeting."

"promise!"

Several burly Euphorbia warriors pulled the Song envoy and dragged the master who had just entered the Grandmaster level out of the Huayang Palace in Yeting.

Looking at the Song envoy who looked angry but controlled himself, the envoys from several countries shook their heads with regret and then fell silent.

If the envoy of the Song Dynasty resisted at this moment, he would definitely be in a situation of death and no life in a place like Huayang Palace where there are so many masters.It was just that the envoy of the State of Song was stoic and knew how powerful it was, so he allowed a few Euphorbia warriors of the "Cutting Hair and Cleansing the Marrow" level to drag the envoy of the State of Song out of Ye Ting.

Seeing the unwillingness of the envoy from the State of Song, the envoy from the State of Zheng came out at this time and said: "My lord, I congratulate you on your enthronement. My Duke Zheng knows that you are a young and talented man. He is overjoyed. I would like to meet you. The marriage will last for a hundred years."

As for why it is only a mere hundred years, it is extremely rare for the two powerful vassal states not to attack each other within a hundred years, what else can we expect.

"My lord, I congratulate you on your enthronement. My king heard that your young man is talented and has chartered a marriage alliance for a hundred years." Several other countries came out one after another, vying to come to Xun Shaoyu and to Xun Shaoyu. Marriage between Lu and Guo.

In Xun Shaoyu's position, he was not allowed to make the decision in marriage. His preference was Lu Guo's preference, and his preference was Lu Guo's preference.Just like Si Langhuan, Xun Shaoyu could only marry her as long as it was beneficial to the entire Lu State.

Xun Shaoyu accepted it calmly, and said: "In this way, I will soon choose an elder to discuss with you about marriage and alliance."

"promise!"

…………

Ganquan Palace, side hall!

The night was dark and the candlelight was flickering. Xun Shaoyu was sitting on the throne, with several important ministers and elders sitting on his left and right.

"Hahaha... happy, happy!"

"The Song Dynasty has bullied me, the Lu Kingdom, for a long time. Today in Huayang Palace, I really let it out." Xun Tai often smiled while stroking his beard. Several important ministers also smiled while stroking the case. The laughter echoed in this side hall for a long time.

Xun Taiwei cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the five countries headed by Zheng Guo all want to marry Lu Guo. Don't you know what your Majesty wants?"

The important ministers and elders in this side hall are all the pillars of the Xun family's office. Several senior ministers looked at Xun Shaoyu who was sitting on the throne.

The marriage between these countries has been a top priority since the new king came to the throne, and only Xun Shaoyu, the person involved, can make the final decision.The opinions of the veterans in the palace can only serve as a support at most.

Xun Shaoyu leaned on the armchair and said softly: "The marriage of the five countries is a good thing... It is because they saw that Lu Guo cannot be bullied that they thought of marrying and forming an alliance with Lu Guo."

"There is only one Mrs. Lu Guo in Yeting, and it will not work in the long run. There are four wives under Mrs. Lu Guo. Based on my imagination, it is enough to marry the four countries of Xu, Cao, Dongguo and Qi. Zheng Guo... We, your guests, You can wait for it, but you can't get married easily."

Xun Shaoyu was fully vigilant and fearful of the Zheng State, the largest prince in Yuzhou.In the past, in order to promote relations with Zheng Guo, Xun Shaoyu naturally wanted it, but Xun Shaoyu is different from the past.

Moreover, the strength of Zheng State is even better than that of Song State. Once Lu State marries Zheng State, he will inevitably accept the mercy of Zheng State and even become a vassal of Zheng State.

An old man in sackcloth mused: "The prince's worries are not unreasonable. Song Guo looks aggressive, and Zheng Guo, as the first prince, is not a good person. They are not aggressive, but soft knives can kill people. People cannot but be on guard against it, and they cannot help but guard against it.”

The elders of Lu State sitting here are extremely wary of Zheng and Song. They have been fighting with the two kingdoms for many years, and their fear of their old rivals has almost penetrated into their bones.At the same time, although he may not be completely wary of other princes, he is not completely hostile either.

Xun Shaoyu said with a smile on his face: "When the four kingdoms of Cao and Xu were in chaos in Wu and Lu, they wanted to stretch out their hands, but as soon as they stretched out their hands, they were chopped off. They were all restless. .”

"However, you are not afraid that he will be restless, but you are afraid that he will be too settled. People who keep their composure have no weaknesses. Only restless people have obvious shortcomings."

Zongbo Xun Taiwei asked softly: "The intention of the king is to marry the noble girls of the four countries and reject the marriage with Zheng?"

Xun Shaoyu said indifferently: "Yes, the four countries are weak at this time, but Zheng is strong. I want to use the military strength of the four countries to divide Yuzhou into three parts with the two great princes of Zheng and Song, laying the foundation for a lifetime of hegemony."

As the king of the country, Xun Shaoyu was not allowed to have free emotions. He completely used his emotions as a tool and bargaining chip in trading, and he wanted to fight for the future of the Lu Kingdom.

Regardless of whether the noble girls from the Four Kingdoms were wise or foolish, they were not allowed to enter the imperial court of Lu. Even the fair-looking girls, as long as they could benefit the entire Lu State, Xun Shaoyu would be happy to do so.

He looked at the cauldron on the top door, which contained the luck of the state of Lu. Compared with the weight of the public vessel, personal gains and losses were really insignificant!
Zongbo Xun Taiwei lowered his head and said: "Old minister, I will go to visit the envoys of the four countries now, discuss the alliance with the envoys of the four countries, and strive to occupy a favorable position."

"Um……"

Xun Shaoyu looked at the important ministers around him and said quietly: "All the uncles and uncles are Shaoyu's elders. In the past, Shaoyu acted in a hurry. Please forgive me, elders."

"Today's Lu State is unstable both internally and externally. The princes of Yuzhou are only a minor problem, and the hiding of the Gong family for more than three years is a serious harm. The crisis in my Lu State is still there, and it will not automatically disappear with the accession of the widow to the throne. The smoke has disappeared. The coveted eyes of all countries have not been withdrawn until now, which is really worrying. "

"The current Lu State cannot bear the slightest mistake. Only when we, the descendants of the Xun family, unite can we stabilize the basic foundation of the Lu State and stabilize the thousand-year-old foundation of the Lu State."

"The Kingdom of Lu will last for ten thousand years!" All the important ministers of the Xun clan kowtowed to Shaoyu Xun and said, "We, the people of our tribe, must act with your Majesty's head in mind, to strengthen the country, strengthen the army, and strengthen the people!"

This is the deepest cry in the hearts of the Xun clan. Once the Lu State rises strongly and stands firm in this world, as a member, they will be rewarded thousands of times in an instant.

"Lü Guo must be strong, a strong country... an overlord... so powerful that it will make the emperor look at him!" Xun Shaoyu accepted the kneeling of everyone, and his eyes seemed to be transformed into a stone mirror, with boundless luck, as if he wanted to completely conquer him! General submerged.
