Final Volume Chapter 138
Those who knew knew that Qiu Zhen was protecting Tang Yin's children, but those who didn't knew thought that he was protecting his own children!
Tang Yin was also furious at this time. He held the sword at his waist with one hand, glared at Qiu Zhen fiercely, and shouted loudly: "Qiu Zhen, get out of my way!"
Qiu Zhen stood still and said sternly: "Even if the king kills me today, I won't let it go!"
"You think I really don't dare to kill you!" Tang Yin said fiercely through gritted teeth.
Not only was Qiu Zhen not afraid, he actually sneered and said, "Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. If the king wants to kill his own flesh and blood, how can he care about Qiu Zhen?"
"You are so presumptuous!" Tang Yin looked really anxious. With a flick of his wrist, there was a sound of sand, his sword was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed in the air. Holding a sword in his hand, he strode up to Qiu Zhen and raised his sword to strike.
Qiu Zhen closed his eyes and stood there with no intention of dodge.
Seeing this, the surrounding ministers and guards were frightened. Ah San and Ah Si both had weak hands and rushed forward. Ah San hugged Tang Yin's waist, while Ah Si grabbed Tang Yin's sword-holding wrist and said urgently: "Your Majesty, you can't..."
"You all get out of my way. Why, are you even going to rebel?"
Tang Yin lowered his hands and buckled Ah San's belt. He didn't see how hard he was. He lifted Ah San up as if he were grabbing a chicken, and then made a gesture to throw Ah San out. At this moment, he Suddenly someone from behind shouted: "Stop!"
Hearing the words, everyone turned their heads to look. The person who shouted at Tang Yin was none other than Princess Yin Rou. Seeing the princess arriving, everyone couldn't help but grin secretly.
Everyone knows that the king dotes on the princess to the extreme. The reason why he cannot tolerate the fetus in Mrs. Zhaoyang's belly is because he wants the princess to give birth to his first child. Now that the princess is here, how will this end?
Seeing Yin Rou, the furious Tang Yin calmed down, slowly put down Ah San in his hand, turned back and said, "Rou'er, why are you here?"
"The king is wielding swords and knives in the palace, cutting and killing. How can I not join in the fun of such a battle!?" Yin Rou sarcastically walked towards Tang Yin. The latter hurriedly put away the sword in his hand and explained: "Rou'er..."
But Yin Rou didn't stop when she got close to him. She walked directly over, then bypassed Qiu Zhen and came directly to Xiao Xiang.
The maids serving Xiao Xiang all felt their hearts tremble, and their bodies leaned forward subconsciously, as if they were afraid that Yin Rou would suddenly hurt Xiao Xiang.
Yin Rou looked at Xiao Xiang, her eyes flickering. Xiao Xiang has lived in Feng Wang's Mansion for a while, but the two of them don't have much contact, and they can only meet each other in the morning when Xiao Xiang occasionally comes to say hello.
She stared at Xiao Xiang for a long time, then her eyes slowly moved down, landing on Xiao Xiang's slightly bulging belly. After another long while, a smile appeared on Yin Rou's face, and she asked with concern: "Is Mrs. Zhaoyang okay?" Are you scared? The king is just confused for a moment, Mrs. Zhaoyang does not need to worry." As she spoke, she turned back to look at Tang Yin and said seriously: "Since Mrs. Zhaoyang is pregnant with the king's child, the king should let Zhaoyang. Madam, give birth to the child.”
"But..." Tang Yin frowned, and when he was about to speak, Yin Rou interrupted: "There's nothing wrong with it. I am the princess, and I should be in charge of everything in the harem. This child must stay, even if he is the king. We can’t just strangle him in his mother’s womb.”
After speaking, Yin Rou smiled softly at Xiao Xiang and said softly: "I have longed for the scenic spots and historic sites in Sichuan for a long time. I wonder if Mrs. Zhaoyang would like to tell me about those world-famous scenic spots?" After that, before Xiao Xiang could react, she took the initiative to take Xiao Xiang's hand and walked slowly towards her bedroom.
Yin Rou took Xiao Xiang away in front of everyone, leaving Tang Yin and others stunned in place, and the scene fell into silence.
After an unknown amount of time, Tang Yin finally came back to his senses, looked at the guards around him, and then at Qiu Zhen and others opposite him, waved his hands, and said expressionlessly: "You have nothing to do with me here, just leave. Qiu Zhen, Yuan Ji, you all should go home! However, this time, if you dare to break into the palace again, no matter who you are, I will punish you severely!" After saying this, he threw down his sleeves. , turned and left.
Qiu Zhen, Shangguan Yuanji, Zhang Xin, Zong Yuan and others looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and finally saluted Tang Yin's back and said, "I'll leave!"
On the way out of the palace, Zhang Xin pretended to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed: "You almost scared me to death just now, Prime Minister Qiu, aren't you afraid that the king will actually chop you with a sword?"
Qiu Zhen burst into laughter. Ministers like Shangguan Yuanji, Zhang Xin, and Zong Yuan were all elites. Each one was shrewder and more insightful than the last. He didn't believe they couldn't see that the king was acting.
Tiger poison does not eat its own children, let alone humans. Who can kill his own children with his own hands?
The king was sincere in wanting the princess to give birth to her first child, and making Xiao Xiang pregnant was a mistake. But since the mistake had already happened, he could only admit it, and it was impossible to really strangle the child in his mother's womb.
The reason for doing this is just to show the princess that the king only has her in his heart and not to ruin the relationship between the two because of this child.
Now that the princess has taken the initiative to protect the fetus in Xiao Xiang's belly, it can be regarded as the best of both worlds.
Qiu Zhen is not a fool. He has been with Tang Yin for so long and has been with him day and night. Of course, he can tell whether Tang Yin is really angry or just pretending to be angry.
The turmoil caused by Xiao Xiang's pregnancy finally passed without any danger, and the ministers of Fengchuan and other countries were also very happy.
Interestingly, Tang Yin, who was still furious and wanted to abort the fetus at that time, invited Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji to discuss with them what name to give to the unborn child.
Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji were not surprised at all. In other words, they were used to Tang Yin's "changeability".
Not long after Xiao Xiang's pregnancy, Tang Yin had another happy event. Yuguo sent a wedding invitation, asking Tang Yin to choose a good day as soon as possible to marry Yu Wang Lingshuang.
Tang Yin and Lingshuang's engagement was made long ago, long before his engagement with Xiao Xiang, but it was delayed for various reasons.
In the past, Yuguo was not anxious about this marriage, but after hearing the news that Tang Yin and Xiao Xiang had married, the ministers of Yuguo could not wait any longer.
Now Fengchuan has become one family. In the entire empire, except for Yuguo, it is all Fengguo's world. The ministers of Yuguo are also worried that if they can't wait for Tang Yin to marry them, they may wait for the army of Fengguo.
Regarding the letter from Yuguo, Tang Yin had no hesitation and could not refuse it. He asked people to prepare a generous gift and personally went to Kangyang, the capital of Yuguo, to marry Lingshuang.
During Tang Yin's absence, Xiao Xiang took charge of the government and handled the affairs of Fengchuan.
Although Xiao Xiang had married and became the wife of King Feng, she was still the King of Chuan after all. She handled the big and small affairs of the court with ease and was comprehensive. Even Fengguo ministers such as Qiu Zhen had to admit that the wife's ability to govern was actually far superior to that of the king.
When Xiao Muqing and Nie Ze reported the victory from southern Sichuan, Tang Yin had already left Shangjing and was on his way to Kangyang, so the victory naturally fell into Xiao Xiang's hands.
After seeing the victory report, Xiao Xiang immediately wrote a reply letter, the content of which was very simple, just asking Xiao Muqing not to bring Xiao Yuan back and let him stay in southern Sichuan forever.
She did not directly explain her intention, but anyone who was not a fool could understand what she meant. What does it mean to stay in southern Sichuan forever? Of course, it does not mean to put Xiao Yuan under house arrest here, but to bury him here.
After receiving Xiao Xiang's reply, Xiao Muqing followed orders and secretly executed Xiao Yuan. Most of the subordinates who followed Xiao Yuan in the rebellion were also killed. After quelling the rebellion in southern Sichuan, the Pingyuan Army and the Baizhan Army returned triumphantly.
Four months later, Tang Yin returned to Beijing with Lingshuang and held another wedding ceremony in Shangjing.
With the marriage of Tang Yin and Lingshuang, there were no more fiefdoms in the Haotian Empire. If there were any, only the Feng Kingdom would remain.
However, the huge Haotian Empire has now become the world of Fengguo. Although the country is still called Haotian, it has actually changed to Feng.
Tang Yin started his career in Fengguo in the north. In just a few years, he fought wars in the south and the north, conquered various countries, and finally completed his long-cherished wish of unifying the world in the seventh year of Fengli.
During this period, Tang Yin personally experienced countless large and small battles, and had countless life and death experiences, but no matter how big the victory was, he was never satisfied, and no matter how big the failure was, he never discouraged.
When the countries coexisted, Fengguo was not the strongest. On the contrary, Fengguo was weak at that time, with both internal and external troubles. Tang Yin took over a completely mess, but in the end, it was Fengguo that stood out and unified the world. Of course, there was a component of luck, but Tang Yin himself definitely played a crucial role.
It's not that Tang Yin is very capable. In fact, he doesn't know how to govern a country. His governing philosophy is simple and rough. There is only one thing: fight, fight, and fight again, use war to support war, and use war to strengthen the country.
But he has something that no one else has at that time, that is, open-mindedness.
Open-mindedness allows him to reuse those virtuous people even if they are of humble origins, which is very important for Fengguo.
Qiu Zhen, who formulated major policies and national policies for Fengguo and guided Fengguo to move forward; Shangguan Yuanji, who managed Fengguo's government affairs in an orderly manner and fully guaranteed the logistics supply of Fengjun; Zhang Zhe, who was meticulous, selfless, and dared to speak out; Shangguan Yuanrang, who was known as the god of war in Fengjun, and Xiao Muqing, the commander of Pingyuan Army who could scare any enemy, etc. These most important core figures of Fengguo were all born in civilians. After being promoted by Tang Yin, they quickly became his right-hand men and made great contributions to the unification of Fengguo.
Discovering talents, making use of talents, and being able to gather these talents firmly around him, living and dying together with him, and uniting them into one, this is Tang Yin's real role in Feng State.
As for his participation in the military expedition and his own military power, they are just icing on the cake, not the decisive factor for Feng State's success.
