Episode 10 Chapter 4

Tang Yin was so angry with Qiu Zhen that he simply hid in Wu Mei's courtyard to read the full text.

That night, Qiu Zhen asked to see Tang Yin. At this time, Tang Yin's anger had subsided a lot, and he met Qiu Zhen in the study.

When Qiu Zhen approached, Tang Yin was eating and reading memorials. When Qiu Zhen stood still in front of him, and after saluting, Tang Yin asked without raising his head: "Qiu Zhen, you are here again for the day's affairs. Bar?"

Qiu Zhen said bluntly: "Weichen is here just for the day's affairs."

Tang Yin gave him a strange look, sighed secretly, and asked with a smile: "Then how are you going to convince me this time? Are you going to tear my clothes to pieces again?"

Qiu Zhenzhen said: "Your Majesty, for the Feng Kingdom, how many of our Dafeng soldiers shed blood and sacrificed their lives. Now I just want you to marry Princess Xiaona. Can't you agree?"

Tang Yin put down his chopsticks, pondered for a moment, and asked: "Even if I agree to this, even if Besa can acquiesce in our country's aid to Tia and fight against Duji, who will I send to lead the army to Tia, and which legion will I send?" ?" After the anger dissipated, Tang Yin calmed down and carefully considered Qiu Zhen's proposal, and felt that Qiu Zhen's idea was not unreasonable.

Qiu Zhen said without thinking, "The Sanshui Army led by General Liang Qi can take on this important task."

"Oh!" Tang Yin responded, but did not answer immediately. In the war against the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces, the losses of the Sanshui Army were indeed small, but the war had just ended and the officers and men were extremely exhausted. At this time, the Sanshui Army was sent on an expedition to fight in Tia. Unknown to the soldiers of the Sanshui Army Can you bear it?

But having said that, the Sanshui Army's establishment is relatively complete now, and sending other legions is not as good as the Sanshui Army! Tang Yin thought a lot, raised his head, and said quietly: "We have to fight again..."

Even Tang Yin, who was so belligerent, was a little tired now. During this period, Feng Kingdom fought continuously, first using troops against Ning, then fighting against the Sichuan and Zhen coalition forces, and now going to aid Tia. Tang Yin felt tired in his heart. feel.

Seeing that Tang Yin's attitude had begun to soften, Qiu Zhen was afraid that he would regret it, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, our army's aid to Tia is not in vain. We can take the opportunity to put forward various conditions."

"Oh?" Tang Yin was refreshed and asked, "Tell me what conditions we can put forward."

"Firstly, Tia must provide for the expenses of our army's expedition and compensate for all our army's losses in the war. Secondly, after successfully repelling Duki's army, Tia must recognize itself as a vassal state of Feng Kingdom and pay tribute every year. , Become a vassal every year. Thirdly, Tia’s various technologies must be transferred to Feng Country in the future, and it is unconditional. Only if Tia accepts all of them, our military can assist Tia.”

Tang Yin was happy after listening to Qiu Zhen's words. Although there were only three points, these three points were harsh enough. He asked: "Will Tia accept such conditions?"

"I will definitely do it." Qiu Zhen vowed: "Because Tia has no other choice."

"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded, squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and finally made a decision in his heart. He said seriously: "Send a letter to Zhang Zhe and write down all the three items you just mentioned. Let Zhang Zhe Zhe went to talk to the Tia envoy."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Seeing that Tang Yin finally accepted the idea of ​​sending troops to Tia, Qiu Zhen was overjoyed and bowed his hands. Then, he asked: "Then...the king proposes marriage to Besa..."

Tang Yin didn't want to talk more about this matter and said casually: "I'll do it as you want!"

In the morning, Tang Yin was still arguing with Qiu Zhen in the court and his face was red. In the evening, he calmed down and finally accepted Qiu Zhen's opinions. Tang Yin's personality is impulsive and rebellious, but his biggest advantage is that he can distinguish what opinions are beneficial to him and what opinions are not beneficial to him.

The war against the invasion of the Sichuan-Zhen coalition had just ended, and Fengguo was going to war again, but this time the opponent was Fengguo's former ally, Du Ji. According to Qiu Zhen's opinion, Tang Yin assigned the Sanshui Army to go on an expedition. After all, Du Ji was not a powerful country and did not have many troops. If Feng State wanted to fight Du Ji, it would not be able to use all the strength of the country.

In Liang Qi's mind, he had long believed that Du Ji was not a good country and was a huge threat to Feng Country with malicious intentions. Tang Yin ordered him to command the Sanshui Army to go to Tia to fight against Du Ji's army. Liang Qi didn't even consider it. Even if he accepted it, he made a condition to Tang Yin, asking a general to go with him, Shangguan Yuanrang. .

There is no war in Feng Kingdom for the time being. Even if Shangguan Yuan Rang stays in the capital, he is idle at home. Tang Yin asked Shangguan Yuan Rang what he meant. Seeing that the latter had no objection, he agreed to Liang Qi's request and sent Shangguan Yuan Rang to accompany the Sanshui Army. Let's go to Tia together.

The negotiations between Zhang Zhe and the Tia envoy have not yet ended. On the Yancheng side, the Sanshui Army has already left the capital and is stationed at Tongmen. They are getting ready to rest while waiting for the outcome of the negotiations in Liangzhou.

In Yancheng, Tang Yin sent an envoy to Besa to propose marriage to the king of Besa, Sanchez von Pros, in order to marry the princess of Besa, Shawna.

Tang Yin didn't have much hope for his proposal of marriage. He knew that Dukey's prince Pavel Ehrenreich had been pursuing Shawna, and Sanchez did not express any clear objection. That was a long time ago, no. Knowing how much the relationship between the two of them has grown now, it is still unknown who King Besa will betroth Shauna to!

In the days that followed, Tang Yin returned to busy official duties.

The reconstruction work of so many cities has officially begun. Various proposals are sent to Yancheng every day or even every hour, and are finally summarized here in Tang Yin. As long as they are not dealt with for one day, the proposals can pile up like a mountain. You can let Tang Yin lead the army to fight and charge into battle, but let him handle the paperwork. He is the leader of the two.

For the past few days, he could not even walk out of the palace gate, and could rarely even walk out of the study. This made Tang Yinsheng feel like he was in a prison, and his days were like years. He immersed himself in his study for three full days. Finally he couldn't bear it anymore and hurriedly summoned Shangguan Yuanji to the palace to give him full authority to handle these official affairs.

How dare Shangguan Yuanji take over easily? Many of these proposals involve huge amounts of money. Even if he is the right minister, he does not have the authority to make approvals and can only be approved by the monarch himself.

Tang Yin made up his mind to let it go completely. He ignored Shangguan Yuanji's objection and gave him the work at hand. At the same time, Tang Yin also proposed an accountability system. If Shangguan Yuanji handled it well, there would be a heavy reward. If there is a problem or mistake, he will directly blame Shangguan Yuanji.

Of course, Tang Yin also understood that Shangguan Yuanji had limited energy. He had to be busy with the work of his right minister and the affairs that should be handled by the monarch. The prime ministers and ministers who belong to the prime minister will deal with it together.

His approach is actually a monarchy and cabinet system, which delegates the power of the monarch to ministers to the maximum extent, allowing the cabinet composed of ministers to become the actual managers of the country. The existence of the monarch is more inclined to symbolic significance and spiritual leadership.

Under normal circumstances, the monarch will not take the initiative to delegate his power, either through the progress of civilization or through revolutionary means, but after all, Tang Yin is not from this era, and his thoughts are much more advanced than this era, and he himself He is just a person who is afraid of trouble. The more power he has, the more things he has to do. When he becomes the king of a country, the initial sense of novelty and accomplishment gradually fades away, followed by boredom and troubles.

The monarchs of other countries are desperately trying to seize power, fearing that the power of the ministers in the court will be too great and threaten their own status. However, Tang Yin is just the opposite. Whenever there is an opportunity, he will push the rights that should belong to the monarch to his subordinates. Ministers.

Tang Yin's approach may sound enlightened, but in fact, he is too lazy and does not have strong rights.

Tang Yin was able to feel relaxed after all the work was handed over to Shangguan Yuanji. Without the burden of government affairs, the first thing he did was to change into casual clothes and leave the palace for a walk outside to relax.

Nowadays, Yancheng is becoming more and more prosperous and lively, and it is gathering talents and businessmen from Fengning and Ningxia. The streets and alleys are bustling with traffic and people.

Accompanied by Shangguan brothers and Asan and Asi, Tang Yin wandered to the Ordnance Department. The Ordnance Department is located in the south of the city. It is an important area and is strictly guarded by heavy troops.

When he arrived here, Tang Yin suddenly wanted to see what Xia Yufu was doing now. However, he was wearing casual clothes at this time, which made it inconvenient to enter, and it was impossible for the guarding soldiers to let him in.

Just when he was thinking about how to pass the guard, he happened to see Xuan Wang hurriedly walking out of the door of the Ordnance Department. Tang Yin's eyes lit up and he strode forward to greet him.

Before he could get close to Xuanwang, the guards on the left and right of the latter quickly stepped forward and stopped him. The guards looked at Tang Yin warily and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Xuanwang, who was walking forward with his head sullenly, looked up when he heard the sound, and met Tang Yin's gaze. Xuanwang was stunned for a moment, then trotted forward, pushed aside the guards who were blocking Tang Yin, saluted respectfully and said, "I didn't know that your Majesty is here, but I am not here to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Hearing Xuan Wang call the young man in civilian clothes in front of him the king, the guards around him shuddered in unison and stood there, dumbfounded.

Tang Yin didn't mean to blame the guards. He looked at Xuan Wang with a smile and asked, "Where are you going, Master Xuan? Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Xuanwang smiled bitterly and said, "Wei Chen wants to leave the city."

"Where to go?"

"Jiqiao Villa."

The Xia family's Jijiao Villa was originally in the Ning Kingdom, but because Xia Yufu solved the Dragon Scale Fall in Tang Yin's house, it aroused the dissatisfaction and hatred of the Ning Kingdom's rangers. In order to avoid disasters and disputes, the Jijiao Villa was forced to move to the Feng Kingdom. It is located in the western suburbs of Yancheng.

Tang Yin asked in confusion: "What are you going to do at Jiqiao Villa?"

Xuanwang said helplessly: "The drawings sent by Miss Yufu... There are many things that I don't understand, so I need to ask her for advice in person." Extremely high, a second-rank official, while Xia Yufu's official position is Prime Minister Changshi, a third-rank official, two ranks lower than Xuanwang, but her arrogance is much greater than that of Xuanwang.
