The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 573: Guo Jia's Return, What an Unexpected Joy!

A few days later, Xiao Rui received a flying letter from Yan Linglong.

Opening the letter, it was Yan Linglong's delicate yet sharp handwriting:

"Qilang, you and I have been separated for nearly three years. Although Hongyan has sent hundreds of letters, it is difficult to see the true face, and I cannot express love in person. My heart is very lonely. Now Qilang is surrounded by groups of wives and concubines, with both children and happiness. Do you still remember my lovesickness?"

"My father is withered and his health is getting worse and worse. He always wants to choose a good son-in-law for me to marry, but I always use excuses to veto it. Every time I do this, I can't face my father's sad and disappointed eyes."

"My determination is firm, and I am willing to fight for the prosperity of Dayan all my life. Now I can relieve my father's worries, and there is no way to urge my marriage. The only way is peace and prosperity for the people. But disasters are frequent, and Dayan does not have the good fortune of Xia Guo, so I can get a new work Things are stable and the universe is stable. Dayan is deeply involved in disasters and sinking, how can the people be safe and peaceful? We are so sad."

"If Qilang has pity on me, please help me."

"If you have feelings, I will tell you a secret, otherwise you will not regret it in this life."

 …

Xiao Rui put down the letter and couldn't help laughing.

Yan Linglong wrote such a long paragraph, but in fact, it can be summed up in one sentence: If you don't give me sweet potatoes, I will marry someone. It depends on whether it smells like sweet potatoes or the green grassland on your head.

"Before I knew it, it had been three years."

Xiao Rui was also a little emotional. No matter how you put it, it was a disaster for him. According to Xiao Rui's temper, the woman he had slept with would naturally be brought back to Daxia. Unfortunately, the other party was the princess of the country of Yan, and her ambition was as arrogant as her temperament. It is impossible to come to Daxia.

Also, tell yourself a secret, what's the point? Otherwise, he would regret it, which aroused Xiao Rui's curiosity.

Could it be that she is also a time traveler?

As for whether to give Yan Guo sweet potatoes, in fact, Xiao Rui and His Majesty have already discussed it.

It is absolutely forbidden to sell in Qin State. If Emperor Qin wanted to grow new crops, he could only steal some seeds and then slowly plant them and promote them. It took more than two years for the big summer hemorrhage to spread throughout the country. If Qin wants to reach this level, it will take five years to put a question mark.

Not to mention Qi, a country that is about to be wiped out, don't mention new crops! I guess I'm not in the mood at all right now.

As for the distant Yuan Kingdom and Wei Kingdom, they have no intersection with Great Xia now, and it is even more impossible to get new crops, so only Yan Kingdom is left.

Can you give Yan Guo new crops?

First of all, it is necessary to determine the role and value of Yan State to Da Xia.

Yan State is rich in ore, and the covenant that has been reached now stipulates that Yan State has to sell ore to Daxia every year, and the price is lower than the market, and it must not be less than a certain amount every year. Secondly, Yan Guo was able to purchase Daxia’s commodities at a price higher than the market price.

Therefore, Yan State is a very important strategic ally for Da Xia, especially ore, which is a necessity for Da Xia who is in short supply.

In addition, the geographical location of Yan State guaranteed the stability in the south of Xia State, and Yan State held Wei State to death, preventing Wei State from going northward. Great Xia can go to war against Qin and Yuan with peace of mind, but if Wei Guo also joins, it will be a bit stretched. Therefore, the existence of Yan State prevented the other three countries from joining forces.

In addition, if the country of Yan wants to survive, it must rely on the protection of the country of Xia. Once the country of Xia also attacks it, the country of Yan will be more pitiful than the angry little daughter-in-law, and will be ruthlessly ravaged.

So from a strategic point of view, Yan Guo should be helped. Only by being stronger can he better meet the needs of Xia Guo.

However, the sweet potatoes are not given for free. A series of treaties have to be signed, especially prohibiting the Yan State from selling to the Qin State.

Secondly, the country of Yan was able to buy it at a high price and ore! It is equivalent to the patent fee, and Yan Guo will have to bleed this time.

Afterwards, Xiao Rui went to report to His Majesty, because the matter had been discussed before, Emperor Xia waved his hand and said, "You decide."

Xiao Rui responded: "I understand."

At this time, Xiao Rui saw that His Majesty looked a little tired, and asked, "Isn't Father taking a rest?"

During this period of time, Xiao Rui has been exercising the power of supervising the country. Emperor Xia is happy to be free, without being tortured by thick memorials, going to bed early and getting up early, and his mental state is much better than before. In his spare time, he is teasing his grandson and granddaughter, enjoying How can you look tired today while enjoying the joy of taking care of your life and having your grandchildren around your knees?

Emperor Xia sighed: "An accident happened in the Wa country. The Ashikaga shogunate was overthrown by the Tokugawa family and was exterminated. The life and death of Ashikaga Nobita is unknown. The Wa country has completely changed the world. Concubine Lan was heartbroken when she heard the bad news, so I didn't have a good rest. "

Xiao Rui pretended to be surprised, and asked: "The Ashikaga shogunate was overthrown? This...how is it possible! For the past two years, the father has given great support to Ashikaga Nobita and provided him with a lot of funds for the sake of Concubine Lan. Can't deal with the Tokugawa family like this?"

Emperor Xia sighed: "The rise of the Tokugawa family and the decline of the Ashikaga shogunate are the general trend. Gold and silver can only delay the collapse of the Ashikaga shogunate, but can't save him. Now Concubine Lan has been begging me to send troops to attack the Japanese country and destroy the Tokugawa family to avenge his family." , what do you think of this matter?"

"Father, I think it's better to look at the attitude of the Tokugawa family first. If the newly established Tokugawa shogunate Yelang is arrogant and will endanger the safety of Daxia's coast, then there is nothing to hesitate. Our latest sea ship in Daxia has already The trial production is successful, just to see the power!" Xiao Rui suggested.

Emperor Xia nodded and said, "That makes sense."

"Father, please rest, and I will not bother you." Xiao Rui said.

Immediately, Xiao Rui withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Back in the East Palace, Xiao Rui wrote a reply letter to Yan Linglong. There was no long speech, only one line:

"It seems that your butt is itchy and you want to be beaten. If you want sweet potatoes, then send an envoy to talk. Also, what is the secret that will make me regret it?"

Give the letter to Li Yuanfang and let him send it out through Spear Falcon.

Then Xiao Rui went out of the palace and went to Zhan Shi's mansion, because Guo Jia rushed back last night.

When he came to Zhan Shi's mansion, Xiao Rui saw Guo Jia, whom he hadn't seen for more than a year. It seemed that he was blown by the sea breeze, and he looked thinner.

"My subordinate, Guo Jia, pays homage to His Highness." Seeing Xiao Rui, Guo Jia was also very excited, and quickly got up to salute.

Xiao Rui asked him to stand up, and said with a smile, "Feng Xiao's going out this time took a long time!"

Guo Jia apologized: "The matter of the Wa Kingdom could have been resolved in two or three months. Later, my subordinate went to the small country of Tiandu for a tour, and there I met a caravan going to the Yuan Kingdom for business. I originally planned to go to the Yuan Kingdom Take a look at the country, just take a walk to see the actual situation of the Yuan country, and see if you can make arrangements in advance so as to provide benefits for His Royal Highness to destroy the Yuan country in the future. Because it is a temporary decision when you are away from home, the news came back to report Your Highness, the subordinates have already set off."

During this year and a half, Guo Jia first went to the Wa Kingdom, stayed there for three months, then went to Tiandu for a month, then went north with the caravan to the Yuan Kingdom, stayed there for more than half a year, and then returned to the Wa Kingdom. It was not until today that I returned to Daxia.

Although Guo Jia would send someone to deliver the letter back, because of the long distance, Xiao Rui only got a general idea of ​​Guo Jia's specific receipt of goods for this trip, and he had to listen to him in detail about the details.

"Looking at the smiling faces of Feng Xiao and Mr. Wen He, the harvest must be not small, hurry up and listen to it!" Xiao Rui said eagerly.

Guo Jia spoke eloquently.

At first, I learned from the Japanese envoy Saburo Koizumi that Ashikaga Yumi came to Xia with a conspiracy, so Guo Jia went to the Japanese country first.

After arriving in Wa Kingdom, Guo Jia spent a month mastering the language of Wa Kingdom, then gained the trust of Ashikaga Nobita with his talent, and finally found out why Ashikaga Nobita let Ashikaga Yumi come to Daxia, and firmly believed that Emperor Xia would take a fancy to Ashikaga Yumi , all because someone reminded Nobita Ashikaga!

And this person is Huang Qilin!

Huang Qilin traveled around the world when he was young, and also crossed the sea to the Japanese country, met Ashikaga Nobita, and became a close friend. He has written letters for more than two years.

Guo Jia continued to investigate and found that Huang Qilin only mentioned Nobita Ashikaga, which seemed to be a kind reminder from a friend, and there was no other conspiracy.

But after in-depth investigation, Guo Jia discovered that Huang Qilin had colluded with the patriarch of the Tokugawa family. During his time in Wa, Huang Qilin used tricks to kill the beloved daughter of the Tokugawa patriarch and blamed it on Ashikaga Nobita, which made things worse. The hatred between the two clans was broken, so there was an endless situation.

Only then did Guo Jia understand Huang Qilin's sinister intentions. He was laying out a big picture.

First of all, he knew that when Yumi Ashikaga saw Empress Xia, he would definitely miss Emperor Xia, and then he would conduct a detailed investigation on Yumi Ashikaga. So Huang Qilin didn't dare to get involved, he just played a role of reminder, never contacted Ashikaga Yumi and the Japanese mission, so Xia Huang found that Ashikaga Yumi was fine after investigation.

After Ashikaga Yumi entered the palace, Huang Qilin deteriorated the relationship between the Tokugawa family and the Ashikaga shogunate. He saw that the decline of the Ashikaga shogunate would inevitably die at the hands of the Tokugawa family, so he wanted to speed up the matter.

Now, the Ashikaga shogunate is destroyed, and the life and death of Ashikaga Nobita is unknown, which is Huang Qilin's second plan.

As for the third strategy, I believe that Huang Qilin is already in Kyoto at this time, and is planning to contact Yumi Ashikaga and complete his big conspiracy through her.

When Guo Jia found out Huang Qilin's trick, he had to admire Huang Qilin's wit and scheming. Unfortunately, he didn't find Huang Qilin's whereabouts. This person had already left the Wa country and his whereabouts were unknown. He would only appear when the situation in the Wa country changed. He even roughly calculated the time when the Ashikaga shogunate was destroyed.

Huang Qilin can figure it out, so naturally Guo Jia can also figure it out.

Therefore, Guo Jia did not stay in the Wa Kingdom for a long time, but went to Tiandu and Yuan Kingdom. When the Ashikaga Shogunate was about to be destroyed, Guo Jia returned to the Wa Kingdom.

And not long after returning to the Wa country, Guo Jia discovered a fellow of the same kind. It wasn't Huang Qilin, but a master sent by Huang Qilin. Later, these masters took advantage of the destruction of the Ashikaga shogunate, captured Ashikaga Nobita and his children, and then returned to Daxia.

This is Huang Qilin's back-hand. Only after mastering Nobita Ashikaga, he has the opportunity to talk to Yumi Ashikaga.

Guo Jia saw all this in his eyes, but he didn't startle the snake, but watched these people leave silently, and then returned to the capital himself.

After hearing about Guo Jia's experience in Japan, Xiao Rui's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked: "So, Huang Qilin has returned to the capital, this is the best chance to catch him, and it will be even more difficult to let him escape. Got it."

Guo Jia nodded, and said, "Huang Qilin is very cunning, this time is indeed a good opportunity."

Jia Xu said: "I have already asked Wei Zhongxian, and the spies of Prince Duan's Mansion did not find anything unusual. It seems that Huang Qilin did not dare to go to Prince Duan's Mansion, and the two must have met somewhere else. Your Highness, why don't you send someone at Twelve Hours?" Staring?"

Xiao Rui thought for a while, and said: "It's not impossible to watch, but Xiao Feng and Huang Qilin are cunning people. I'm worried that they will reveal their secrets, so it's best to send a master to watch. In addition, Ashikaga Yumi has to watch. I will let Yan Xiaoxiao do it."

Jia Xu and Guo Jia both nodded.

Then Xiao Rui asked: "Feng Xiao, you have stayed in the Yuan Kingdom for more than half a year, and you have learned a lot in your letter, why don't you tell me in detail?"

"Your Highness, this subordinate is about to report this matter." Guo Jia said with a smile.

Guo Jia's trip to the Yuan Kingdom this time is not only a lot of harvest, but a gratifying harvest!
