Iron Dynasty

Lying on the seat, the sunlight outside the window made Xiao Ming squint his eyes slightly.

Out of intuition, he instinctively believed that this time the British would inevitably play a disgraceful role again, and the country that is likely to benefit is the Japanese country.

After all, the dung stick is the dung stick. Britain has always been good at creating national contradictions. In contemporary times, as the former British Empire, before the collapse of this world-wide colony, Britain deliberately left a lot of areas around the world. The hidden danger of conflict.

For example, in contemporary India, India and Pakistan originally planned to govern separately, but he left a Kashmir area, which led to several conflicts between India and Pakistan.

At the same time, Britain separately delineated the McMahon Line in southern Tibet of China, and assigned a large area of ​​Chinese territory to India. This is the origin of the territorial disputes between China and India.

In the Middle East, Britain turned Kuwait from an Iraqi province into a British protectorate. Later the two countries became independent, but they still gave Iraq an excuse to launch the Gulf War.

The most important thing is that Britain, as an island country outside the European continent, has long pursued a policy of "glorious isolation". In order to prevent the emergence of a powerful power on the European continent and its hegemony, it will wear a small shoe to France today, and beat Germany tomorrow to make Europe. No peace.

Although the contradictions between the countries of the European continent are the main factor, they cannot escape the relationship with the British.

Xiao Ming is naturally disgusted with such a country with its own halo of dung sticks. Of course, other European countries are not good birds, and they have always looked discriminatory towards other races.

Putting down the memorials, Xiao Ming fell into contemplation. This time the British warship shelling the Dreadnought was no less than an act of war. He was not the Cixi who would rather have friends than family slaves, nor would he measure the material resources of China and tie up with the country.

Since he came to this world, he was destined to end the Western dominance in the world, but now the border troubles of Da Yu have not been resolved, and Gaoli and Waguo are eyeing each other. He has no energy to clean up these foreign visitors.

However, it was impossible for him to swallow his anger, so he picked up the pen and replied in the memorial: "Once the British warship is found, immediately sink it."

After finishing writing, Xiao Ming handed the memorial to Qian Dafu and asked him to send it back to Qingzhou at the inn.

Just as Qian Dafu left, Pang Yukun hurried over and arrived at the Imperial Study Room. He said to Xiao Ming, "The emperor, General Niu Ben is back."

Xiao Ming was overjoyed when he heard this. Most of the troops in the battle were drawn away. This Qingzhou is basically no different from an empty city. Xiao Ming is also a little uneasy about this.

Now that the army came back, he was relieved.

After a pause, Pang Yukun continued: "The emperor, this time General Niu Ben brought Zhao Wang and his son, Zhao Zhao and the Thirteenth Prince back to Qingzhou."

When he said this, Pang Yukun stared at Xiao Ming. After all, this matter was a bit sensitive.

"Queen Zhao and the thirteenth princes?" Xiao Ming sighed suddenly, "You will really leave me with problems."

After all, Xiao Ming walked out of the Imperial Study Room to the Yeezheng Hall. Since Niu Ben had brought people back, he naturally had to deal with it.

When they arrived at the Hall of Discussion, Niu Ben and others were already waiting.

Xiao Ming sat down on the dragon chair and said, "General Niu Ben is tired. It is a great achievement to stick to Juyong Pass and conquer the capital of Chang'an. This time, I will definitely have many rewards."

Lu Fei, Qi Guangyi, Bai Mu and other generals all smiled when they heard the words, while Niu Ben looked calm. He said: "The emperor, this time the general will have mixed results. I am ashamed of the emperor and dare not receive any credit."

Xiao Ming was stunned. He once accused Niu Ben of delaying the war and that he hadn't breached Gyeongju for a long time. At this time, Niu Ben must have said so because of this incident.

But for Xiao Ming, there is another meaning in this Niu Ben's remarks, that is, he is worried about the master of his high merits.

The current Niu Ben is no longer the old Niu Ben. After the work of the mine, the current Niu Ben has worn off his spirit. Now, what he wants most is to be able to spend the rest of his life in peace.

So in Xiao Ming's view, Niu Ben deliberately made some small mistakes and left it to Xiao Ming to achieve the goal of not continuing to be appointed.

After all, Niu Ben is almost irresistible.

At this time, Xiao Ming glanced at Pang Yukun, and Pang Yukun nodded to Xiao Ming. Obviously, he meant to make Xiao Ming offset his merits and demerits this time, and he would no longer be named Niu Ben.

He nodded and said, "Even so, General Niu Ben has done more than he has done. It is just to stop the official's leisurely mouth, so I will no longer have another canonization. This time I will reward three thousand taels of silver."

Niu Ben breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly said, "Xie Huang Shang Longen."

After pondering for a while, Xiao Ming asked, "Where are the fathers and sons of King Zhao? Where are the Queen Zhao and the Thirteenth Prince?"

"Returning to the emperor, Zhao Wang and his son have been sent to Qingzhou prison. Empress Zhao and the thirteen princes are both rebellious and sent to Qingzhou prison."

Fiji was also in the temple. He was a little quick-eyed and said: "It's absurd, how can Empress Zhao and the thirteen princes be put in prison? Empress Zhao is nominally the mother of the emperor. Don’t you let the people of the world point to the emperor’s backbone? ?"

Pang Yukun frowned. This filial piety was the foundation of being a minister and a king in the past dynasties. Niu Ben did deal with it improperly. He said: "The emperor, Empress Zhao cannot be the same as King Zhao."

When he came, he was thinking about Empress Zhao's problem. After five years in this world, he naturally understood the importance of filial piety. Because of this, he said that Niu Ben left him a big problem.

After a pause, he said: "Old Fei Ge, you immediately go to Qingzhou prison to bring Empress Zhao and the third prince out~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to find a house for her to settle temporarily."

"Yes, the emperor." Fiji nodded and turned to go out.

Seeing Fiji's departure, Pang Yukun said bluntly: "The emperor is ready to deal with Empress Zhao and the thirteenth princes."

"Even if Empress Zhao did not allow the thirteenth prince to ascend the throne, she indirectly killed the first emperor. I can only degrade her and the thirteenth princes to common people. What do you think?"

"The minister thinks so too, but the emperor, even so, can't let Queen Zhao and the thirteen princes leave Qingzhou, lest those who care about it will use it in the future." Pang Yukun said.

Xiao Ming understood what Pang Yukun meant, and some people might use the names of Empress Zhao and the thirteen princes to rebel. After all, the country of Da Yu is currently in his hands.

"I understand your thoughts, so I am going to behead the father and son of King Zhao in the East Market, in order to curb your example and let some unruly people see the fate of rebellion."

Pang Yukun smiled. He seemed to unintentionally said: "The emperor actually wanted to show it to the prince of Chu, right? Besides, is the emperor really not going to take back his military power from Emperor Yong?"
