Chapter 884 Queen's Prestige
Under the 'guidance' of the female guards, Xia Xu stepped into the hall together with apprehension and hope, and Xia Shu with endless hope.
Xu Ren and the others were puzzled at first, but Xia Qingqing suddenly called all the officials above rank three to a meeting just after the meeting this morning, not knowing why.
Seeing Xia Xu and Xia Shu approaching at this moment, the pupils of all the officials above rank three at the scene suddenly shrank.
What is this Xia Qingqing going to do?
But everyone didn't speak for the time being. Since Xia Qingqing called everyone to come, she must have deep meaning. Before understanding Xia Qingqing's intentions, she still needs to observe carefully. It is not a mature expression to speak casually.
But before Xia Qingqing opened her mouth, a guard suddenly came to report: "Queen, Tang Prince Li Liang is here."
Xia Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly, thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Please come in."
The guard went out, and after a while Li Liang came in, dressed very plainly, with only one attendant beside him, holding a box carved with exquisite jade in his hand, with complicated seals on it.
Li Liang looked at Xia Qingqing, then at Xia Xu and Xia Shu who were standing next to him, his eyes flickered - it seemed that he came here at the right time!
But before Li Liang could speak, Xia Qingqing had someone arrange for Li Liang to sit in an 'audience seat'.
Originally, this main hall was temporarily borrowed and remodeled as the conference hall of Zizhu Group. At that time, there were still many audience seats around it and they did not withdraw.
Seeing this arrangement, Li Liang didn't say a word, and walked aside with his entourage—of course, the entourage had to stand.
At this moment, what Li Liang was most interested in was what Xia Qingqing was planning to do? The two brothers Xia Xu and Xia Shu were standing here at this moment, and they definitely did not come to greet them.
After Li Liang sat down, Xia Qingqing looked at Xia Xu and Xia Shu, and said softly, "Big brother and second brother, are you here to visit King Xian today?"
As soon as Xia Qingqing opened her mouth, the expressions of everyone at the scene became exciting.
Xu Ren and the others immediately understood - Xia Qingqing should have never met Xia Xu and Xia Shu before this!
Li Liang's eyes also narrowed - it seems a bit strange that the sibling asked?
The expressions of Xia Xu and Xia Shu are even more exciting-sincerely sorry, we didn't think of Li Xian at all. But that cannot be said. After hesitating for a moment, Xia Xu said, "We were deeply shocked when we heard that King Xian was assassinated. But yesterday was chaotic, and we dared not go out for fear of misunderstanding. So we had to wait until today.
In addition to visiting the Xian King today, I also want to see if the two of us can contribute to the development of the Shang Dynasty. "
Xia Qingqing looked solemn: "Thank you for your visit, the virtuous king is fine. As for the current Shang Dynasty, there is indeed a shortage of a large number of talents.
But I don't know what the two brothers are good at? "
Before Xia Xu could speak, Xia Shu spoke first: "Sister, we can work together to protect the Shang Dynasty from being taken advantage of by petty people."
As he spoke, he looked at Li Liang next to him, and the meaning was self-evident.
Xia Xu frowned slightly, but at this moment he could only bite the bullet and say: "Sister, the situation in the Shang Dynasty is very dangerous now, and only my own family is the most reliable. Now, we brothers and sisters should..."
"Okay!" Xia Qingqing's tone improved a lot, with a bit of disgust and a bit of determination on her expression. His eyes slowly swept across Xu Ren and the others, as well as Li Liang, and finally settled on Xia Xu and Xia Shu.
Then, a gentle voice flowed out: "Xia Xu, Xia Shu, you two slander the government, attempt to form cliques for personal gain, and harm national interests!
From now on, Xia Xu and Xia Shu will be deprived of their Shang Dynasty citizenship, their properties will be investigated, and all illegal properties will be confiscated; if they cause national and public economic losses, they must be compensated.
Immediately deport after checking all property! Only legal property allowed!
This matter will be investigated by 'Huang Yaju'. "
What comes out of the soft words is an order that cannot be refuted. Since ancient times, the blood of emperors has been selfless, because their affection has given to this country.
There was silence in the hall.
The eyes of Xu Ren and the others flickered, constantly switching between Xia Qingqing, Xia Xu, and Xia Shu. Everyone was shocked!
Before coming here, I didn't know what Xia Qingqing meant by calling this meeting suddenly; seeing the two brothers Xia Xu and Xia Shu, everyone guessed. But when Xia Qingqing finally gave the order, everyone suddenly became a little dazed - he seemed to have guessed wrong!
Not to mention Xia Xu and Xia Shu! Before I came here, I was full of beautiful dreams, but... I woke up from the dream, but the reality was so pale.
In fact, neither Xia Xu nor Xia Shu saw the tiredness and helplessness deep in Xia Qingqing's eyes: two unworthy brothers, you think things too simply. Even if I am willing to restore the Great Xia Kingdom, it is impossible to succeed at all.
The public opinion of the Shang Dynasty has long changed; the society of the Shang Dynasty has made progress! The most important thing is that the wisdom of the people of the Shang Dynasty has been opened; the current Shang Dynasty has embarked on a road of rapid rise, and this road can no longer be stopped. Even Li Xian can't turn around, let alone you!
If you are expelled now, you can still save your life; if you continue to toss like this, even your mother will be implicated by the two of you, and you may die without a place to bury her!
You don't have to look at me like this, maybe in a long time, you will be grateful to me - at least, I left a name for you. But, two brothers, can you realize it?
Looking at the two elder brothers, Xia Qingqing suddenly felt Li Xian's mood when he went on a killing spree at Xinghuo University: mourning for his misfortune, and angering him for not fighting.
Disappointing brother! Short-sighted brother!
After watching for a while, Xia Qingqing looked at Huang Yaju who was next to her, "Huang Yaju, you are responsible for investigating the wealth of the two of them, etc. Remember, you must investigate thoroughly. All related people and affairs must not be let go.
The progress of this matter will be published in the newspaper in real time, and the whole country will pay attention. "
"Yes." Huang Yaju replied.
Xia Qingqing said to the guards next to her: "Put the two of them in prison, confiscate all communication equipment, and do not communicate with the outside world."
At this time, Xia Xu and Xia Shu finally reacted. Xia Shu jumped up suddenly, with a ferocious expression on his face: "Xia Qingqing, you... this... Back then Ge Zhengfeng said that you committed the crime of greedy wolf, but now it seems that you are really a wolf... Woooo..."
Xia Xu quickly covered Xia Shu's mouth, took a deep look at Xia Qingqing, and silently turned his head and followed the guards down. Things have reached this stage, and it is irreversible! Scolding Xia Qingqing would not help, but might make things worse.
At least, now Xia Qingqing has no intention of killing her!
After Xia Xu and Xia Shu were escorted, Xia Qingqing looked at Li Liang who was sitting next to him, who seemed a little dazed.
At this moment, Xia Qingqing was in a bad mood, but she had to force a smile, "I don't know why Your Highness is here today?"
Li Liang quickly stood up, Xia Qingqing's actions just now left a deep impression on Li Liang, and there was a psychological shadow, "Sister and sister, I came here today as an older brother. Here is a phoenix that is about to return to its true state." The heart has the effect of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the vitality, and rebirth after the catastrophe.
In addition, I would like to know the situation of the younger brother. "
Xia Qingqing still did not relax her vigilance, and waved to the maid to accept the gift, "Thank you for your concern, brother, I will accept it on behalf of my husband.
In addition, the husband is now out of danger. "
"Can I go and visit?"
"I'm afraid not. This is the critical moment of treatment, so we can't disturb you. How about big brother come back in a month?"
After encountering such a soft nail, coupled with Xia Qingqing's previous performance, Li Liang started to think about quitting. After a few polite words, he offered to resign. As for the matter of the ascension channel, I didn't ask, the atmosphere is not right.
After Li Liang left, Xia Qingqing turned her head and looked around, "Everyone, that's all for today. Everyone, go back and do your job well."
Plain words, but also a warning - just do your job well, don't reach out.
Everyone left immediately. The meeting at noon today was very strange. After the officials came, they didn't say a word, it was Xia Qingqing who was acting. And brothers Xia Xu and Xia Shu made a sideshow.
And after Li Lianglai went through a cutscene, he ran away in a desperate way—it was too scary, this sibling is really not simple!
As for the phoenix heart that Li Liang sent, it was directly thrown into the treasury by Xia Qingqing, and it was not sent to Qingyun Valley at all. What Li Xian enjoys now is the essence extracted from the demon king, the essence of the Golden Immortal level, and a mouthful of dragon essence sent by Ao Qingxue, which is enough.
Many people only know that the phoenix has the power of rebirth, but they don't know that the dragon race is no worse than the phoenix. The essence of the dragon family has the ability to repair defects and resolve disasters.
…………
When the small farce here in the Shang Dynasty ended, Ji Fangzhu, the envoy of the Shang Dynasty and a female official, came to Bian State and met King Ming and Chao Xu of Bian State.
King Ming was not too surprised when he saw Ji Fangzhu. Here in Bian State, the idea of demonism is the main focus, not to mention the female officials, the queen has them - Zhang Hongying, the king of Yan in the southern capital, is a woman.
However, not being surprised by Ji Fangzhu's gender doesn't mean not being surprised by the significance of this visit—the Shang Dynasty had just suffered an accident and sent someone to visit Bian. What is this for?
It is said that the new official takes office three fires, this Queen Xia Qingqing has just taken power, but suddenly sent an envoy, the situation is not good! This is definitely not for those who come who are not kind!
Sure enough, after a while of politeness, Ji Fangzhu said directly: "The Shang Dynasty and the Donghai Dragon Palace in Yingzhou used blood as an alliance to respect the world and form a 'Xuanhuang Republic'. The King of Ming should have heard about this matter, right?"
King Ming nodded.
Of course I have heard of it, and it can be said that this matter is well known. Many people say that the reason why the ships of the Shang Dynasty can sail on the sea is because of this so-called Xuanhuang Republic.
But today Ji Fangzhu singled out this, and King Ming murmured in his heart: Could it be that there are more things we don't know?
While King Ming was thinking, Ji Fangzhu continued: "So, today I am not only here on behalf of the Shang Dynasty, but also on behalf of the Xuanhuang Republic."
After saying these words, the expressions of King Ming and the high-level people around Bian State changed. Such a tone, such a tone, is simply saying: I am here to find fault! And it still represents two countries!
Sure enough, Ji Fangzhu continued to say: "So that King Ming would know, because all the industries in Bian Kingdom have not dealt with pollution, resulting in a large amount of sewage flowing into the East Sea, causing serious harm.
According to our statistics, serious problems have begun to appear in the East China Sea due to the sewage in Bian. A large number of fish and shrimps have died and aquatic plants have withered. In addition, there are sea areas with a radius of nearly 20,000 kilometers that have been polluted.
Today, the coastal areas of the Shang Dynasty also deteriorated due to pollution, which further led to the death of a large number of fish, shrimp, aquatic plants, etc., and affected the grain production of the Shang Dynasty.
On this point, King Ming needs to give an explanation that can satisfy the Xuanhuang Republic! "
After Ji Fangzhu's words fell, King Ming and other senior officials of the Bian Kingdom suddenly changed their colors!
Sure enough, it was finding fault! Just after the Shang Dynasty was attacked, they came to Bian to find fault, with bad intentions! Conscience is very bad!
But King Ming was not stupefied, suppressing the eyes and anger around him, and calmly asked Ji Fangzhu: "Ji Fangzhu, isn't this so-called pollution a bit exaggerated? We have a few ports in Bian, but there are swarms of fish and shrimp!"
Ji Fangzhu talked about each item: "In the ocean, there are more than 8,000 species of fish, shrimps, and molluscs that have been discovered for the time being and have been clearly classified. One year ago, there were more than 6,000 species of fish and shrimps that lived along the coast of the Shang Dynasty. And Now, there are less than 5,000 left.
There are also aquatic plants and so on. A total of more than 9,000 species have been discovered, but now it is clear that 611 species of aquatic plants have become extinct.
Extinct fish, shrimps, aquatic plants, etc. include: parrot fish, grouper... now is the breeding season of salmon, but this year the number of salmon has decreased by 70%! "
Ji Fangzhu's blah blah blah blah blah blah, seems not to be an official, but an expert in marine life. Bian Guo and the others were dumbfounded when they heard this—they really came prepared!
Beside, King Li couldn't listen anymore, "Okay, okay, we know. But I heard that almost no one in your Shang Dynasty could eat a catty of fish and shrimp every day. Didn't you kill these extinct creatures? ?”
Ji Fangzhu looked serious, "King Li, as the saying goes: only those who have investigated have the right to speak. I don't know if Wang Li has ever investigated?
The document in my hand was jointly investigated by Shang Dynasty and Dragon Palace. Including this, seawater composition test sheet, seawater pH test and so on.
Shall I read it? "
That's enough, there is no need to read it here, the senior officials of the Bian Kingdom have already understood: the Shang Dynasty, this is to use the Bian Kingdom as a knife. No matter how much Bian Guo quibbles, he can't avoid this reality! Unless Bian Guo also produces an investigation report now-but where can I get this thing? how to do?
Thinking of this, King Ming looked at Ji Fangzhu coldly, "I understand. Just tell me what your Shang Dynasty wants to do!"
Ji Fangzhu smiled slightly: "Your Majesty Ming, don't get too excited. We don't want to do anything, but to ask Bian to compensate the Xuanhuang Republic for its losses. In addition, all factories must learn from the Shang Dynasty and increase sewage treatment technology!"
King Ming looked at Ji Fangzhu, his eyes were already dangerous, and he already showed a little murderous intent: "What if we don't do that!"
Bian State is a kingdom of demons, and has always bullied others! Now being so 'bullied' by the Shang Dynasty, King Ming couldn't stand it!
