Chapter 769: 943: The Queen

November 17, the second year of Zhenghe.

Tuoba Zhi, the crown prince of the Tuoba clan, ascended the throne of Jinxia Khan. That afternoon, he issued an imperial edict to surrender to Wei and led all the civil and military officials in the court to hand over the letter of credence in person, bowing their heads and being humble.

So far, Jinxia, ​​which had a longer reign than the Song Dynasty, was declared destroyed.

Chen Mo did not want Jinxia to become a vassal state of Wei and let it continue to maintain its reign. If he did so, once Wei began to weaken in the future, Jinxia would revive like the previous dynasty.

His plan was to incorporate Jinxia into the territory of Wei, divide it into several states, and have officials sent by the Wei court to govern it and directly obey the orders of the court. As for Jinxia's original royal family Tuoba clan, unlike the one who was granted the title of Menghe Gong after Emperor Yong'an abdicated, those on the edge of Tuoba clan's power were demoted to commoners, and those who belonged to the "direct line" of Tuoba clan were directly reduced to slavery.

After all, Jinxia did not surrender even when the enemy was at the gates.

Chen Mo forced his way in. For such stubborn people, Chen Mo spared their lives and did not exile them to death. This was already a favor.

From now on, the Tuoba clan is the people of the Great Wei, and the Tuoba clan cannot be allowed to stay in this land of Jinxia, ​​but move to Zhongzhou.

Otherwise, the Tuoba clan has ruled this land for hundreds of years and is deeply rooted. Even if they become commoners, they can still grow slowly.

But it is different in Zhongzhou. This land of Zhongzhou is full of real Song people and Wei people. They have hatred for Jinxia and will not give the Tuoba clan a chance to grow.

"Your Majesty, these are Tuoba Hui's concubines. I wonder how your majesty will deal with them?"

In the hall, Chang En asked someone to bring Wanyan Ya and her group in.

As concubines of a monarch, they are generally good-looking. Of course, there are a few ugly ones.

However, these ugly girls should be part of a political marriage, and they were sent by some tribes that Tuoba wanted to win over.

They huddled together tremblingly, allowing Chen Mo to look at them.

"Raise your head." Chen Mo put one hand behind his back and pointed at Wanyan Ya with one hand.

Wanyan Ya was wearing a luxurious and expensive purple brocade robe, which wrapped her graceful body. Her plump and hot figure exuded enchanting temptation. Because of the hostility of the Yelu clan, she was pushed to the front by the Yelu clan and others. It was difficult for Chen Mo not to pay attention to her.

Because she lowered her head, Wanyan Ya didn't know that Chen Mo was calling her, but lowered her head even lower.

It was not until she felt that the eyes around her were looking at her that Wanyan Ya realized that the other party should be talking about her, and raised her head uneasily.

She had a pair of narrow and long lavender eyes, which were charming and seductive. When she looked into Chen Mo's eyes, she lowered her head in panic, but she thought that the other party asked her to raise her head, so she raised it a little, but she didn't dare to meet Chen Mo's eyes. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her hands were twisted together anxiously.

It was as if she was still a slave and was chosen by the Wanyan tribe.

Chen Mo was also slightly stunned. If a beautiful woman is a vixen, this woman is the incarnation of a vixen, full of temptation from head to toe.

Nalan Yiren, who was standing aside, snorted coldly when she saw Chen Mo like this.

Man!

Zuo Nian, who had surrendered before, quickly seized the opportunity to show: "Your Majesty, she is Khatun Wanyan Ya."

Wanyan Ya realized that she was being favored by someone, and her delicate body trembled even more.

"Queen." Chen Mo muttered.

Before coming to Jinxia, ​​Chen Mo had collected some rumors about the Tuoba royal family.

Among the common people, Wanyan Ya is known as the "Queen of Beauty".

At that time, Chen Mo was curious about what she looked like to be called the Queen of Beauty. Now that he saw her, he was indeed worthy of her reputation.

She seemed to be born with a kind of charm, which was like an aphrodisiac for men.

"Imprison her separately. As for the other concubines, we will reward them according to their merits after this matter is over." Chen Mo said.

After these words came out, Chang En was fine, but Sun Meng, Luo Yong, Cui Shuang, Zhao Liang and others were immediately shocked. If they hadn't taken Chen Mo into consideration, they would probably have rubbed their hands.

Yelu's face turned pale when she heard this. According to the treatment of Tuoba by the Wei Dynasty before, she thought that she would be demoted to a commoner in the end, and then relying on her origin in the Yelu tribe, although she could not be rich and prosperous, at least she would not have to worry about food and clothing, so she pushed Wanyan Ya forward.

But she never expected that she would be rewarded to these vulgar warriors.

In this way, it is better.

Yelü looked at Wanyan Ya with more resentment. This bitch, why is it that every man who sees her is fascinated by her.

Nalan Yiren frowned, but didn't think there was anything wrong.

Although there is a saying that the sins of parents should not be extended to the wife and children.

But the premise of not bringing disaster to the family is that the blessings should not be extended to the family, otherwise there is no reason to enjoy the blessings without taking responsibility.

At least those managers of Jinxia and the leaders of the Tuoba clan must share the disasters and blessings.

"Are you interested in the queen?"

When everyone left and only Nalan Yiren and Yuzhu were with Chen Mo, Nalan Yiren said with a stern face.

"With her beauty, she can barely make do as a servant who makes the bed in Tianchuan." Chen Mo said so.

"You really don't live up to the name of "good wife" at all." Seeing that he didn't even try to hide it, Nalan Yiren held back some words that were about to be said.

Yuzhu didn't think there was anything wrong.

She has also read history books.

There are countless cases in history of destroying a country and destroying a family and taking other people's wives and daughters as their own.

In other words, if the Wei Dynasty was defeated this time and Jin Xia swallowed the Wei Dynasty, they would not be able to escape this fate.

She said: "Your Majesty, since Jin Xia has issued a letter of surrender, what should we do next?"

When the conversation got down to business, Chen Mo covered his chest and asked Nalan Yiren: "How long will it take for my injury to heal?"

"It takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones. Although your injury was treated by me, it will take at least half a month to recover. If you use spiritual energy during this period, it will take even longer. By the way, during the recovery period, it is most taboo. Work hard.”

Nalanyi people specially emphasize the word "care".

Chen Mo's face turned dark.

"In this case, I hope Tuoba Ai will put down his weapons and surrender when he learns that his master has surrendered. Otherwise, there will be a battle to fight, and I will have to trouble you." Chen Mo sat down on the spot and said: "It seems we have to stay in Yuxi for a while."

…

other side.

Tuoba Ai, who returned for reinforcements, knew that the Wei army had arrived at Yuxi City. He immediately contacted several tribes that were friendly with the Tuoba clan and asked them to send troops to rescue them.

He also sent people to Gaoliao at high speed, so that Gaoliao's garrison could quickly return reinforcements.

At present, Tuoba Ai understands that only one unit of the Wei army has entered without backup, and this army only has about 50,000 soldiers and horses. Now that the lone army has penetrated deep into the capital, as long as they block the retreat of this lone army, they can Surround them inside.

Now that winter has arrived, even if the Wei army cannot be surrounded and killed in the country, it can still be forced to retreat and the country will not be destroyed.

Just when Tuoba Ai was still very optimistic about the situation, a piece of news came, which shocked him like a bolt from the blue.

His Majesty died and the prince succeeded to the throne.

same day.

The imperial court decreed surrender!

Hearing this news, Tuoba Ai was about to vomit out a mouthful of blood.

The ministers and others were about to fight to the death, why did the Great Khan surrender first?

Along with this news, there was also a solicitation letter for Tuoba Ai written in the name of the Emperor of Wei.

As long as Tuoba Ai can lead his army to surrender, the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty will allow him to serve as an official in the Wei Dynasty, and his official position will not be lower than the current one. In addition to high-ranking officials and generous salaries, he will also have money and beautiful women.

For such generous conditions, Tuoba Ai not only did not agree, but tore up the solicitation letter, cursed Chen Mo in the sky, and then said: "Ai is deeply favored by the emperor, how can I surrender to the Wei thieves? I, Tuoba Ai, I will never surrender!"

Chen Mo was also wary of this.

Tuoba Ai can remain loyal, but can the people below him?

The army commanded by Tuoba Ai was a direct army of the Tuoba clan, and the families of these soldiers all lived in Yuxi and surrounding cities and counties.

Now that Yuxi and surrounding cities and counties have been occupied, they are worried about what will happen to their families if they do not surrender.

Therefore, when sending the solicitation letter to Tuoba Ai, Chen Mo also spread the news.

As long as they surrender, Wei Jun will not only not harm their families, but will also let them go.

So, after Tuoba Ai announced that he would not surrender to the death, many soldiers escaped from the military camp that night.

Before the battle began, Tuoba Ai's army was in panic.

…

November 23rd.

Heavy snow covered the sky, and the entire Yuxi City was covered in white. The snow on the streets was several feet deep, and no one was clearing it.

Some people in Jinxia were selfish and willing to be traitors, surrender to the Wei Dynasty, and be traitors to the Wei Dynasty, while others did not submit to the rule of the Wei Dynasty.

Although they dare not stand up to resist openly, they will make some small moves.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

For example, display it badly.

Chen Mo wanted to divide Jinxia into several states of the Wei Dynasty, so there would be no need for the Jinxia court to exist anymore.

So the yamen below began to go on strike one after another and did not obey Wei Jun's orders.

This resulted in the snow on the streets being left uncleared.

Some infrastructure is left unmaintained.

Law and order became chaotic.

There were even Jinxia mobs who secretly attacked the Wei army while they were patrolling at night.

Over the next few days, many Wei soldiers were killed or injured.

In the Jinxia Palace.

In the original dormitory hall where successive Khans of Jinxia lived.

The lights in the hall were dim, and the heat released from the stove made the entire hall warm.

On the long table, there is a blood-colored seal the size of an adult's fist, with a skull as the button.

Chen Mo, Nalan Yiren, and Yuzhu were whispering around the seal.

"Is this okay? What if he lies to you?"

"He shouldn't dare. When I saw Tuoba Hui's appearance before, he was only skin and bones. It must have been a blood sacrifice."

"Your Majesty, don't use your own blood first. Try using someone else's blood. Didn't Tuoba Zhi say that there is a curse on this seal? Don't use it unless absolutely necessary."

"Tuoba Zhi also said that the seal will be determined by whose blood the blood sacrifice is performed, and the minimum cultivation level is sixth grade."

"Then let's find a sixth-grade warrior and give it a try. Even if we listen to him, if it's only a sixth-grade warrior, there shouldn't be any trouble."

"Yes, then give it a try."

"."

Chen Mo decided.

"Aren't there still some ministers who refuse to surrender imprisoned in the prison? Let's use them for experiments." Nalan Yi said.

Chen Mo nodded.

At this moment, Sun Meng's voice sounded outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

"Come in." Chen Mo said.

Yuzhu and Nalan Yiren looked at each other and retreated behind the screen.

Sun Meng walked in, the armor on his body clanking.

"Your Majesty." Sun Meng cupped his hands and exhaled a white breath.

"No courtesy, let's talk directly."

"No." Sun Meng said respectfully: "In the past few days, the soldiers below were attacked by gangsters when they were patrolling at night, resulting in many casualties."

"Have you caught the gangster?"

Sun Meng shook his head: "After the gangsters finished the attack, they ran towards the residential area with the most people. There were many people there, and the people deliberately protected the gangsters and refused to tell the truth, so the investigation continued to no avail."

The main reason was that Chen Mo gave an order not to allow his soldiers to bully and harass the people of Jinxia, ​​so the Wei army was somewhat restrained when it came to investigating.

Of course, Sun Meng would definitely not say this.

Wouldn't that make His Majesty think that it's him who is not the one?

But even if Sun Meng didn't say anything, Chen Mo could still guess a thing or two.

Otherwise, there is such a big place in the city. If you really want to look for it, how can you not catch it?

The reason why Chen Mo issued the order not to bully or harass the people of Jinxia is that if Jinxia is later divided into several states of the Wei Dynasty, then the people of Jinxia will be the people of the Wei Dynasty.

Then in the future, this place will need to be governed by the Wei Dynasty.

So Chen Mo still hopes to win the hearts and minds of the people.

Even if you don't get their approval, at least don't object, so as not to make future governance more difficult.

But now it seems that we still need to use some means.

Chen Mo frowned and said, "Tell Zuo Nian to wait for me in the imperial study."

"No." Sun Meng retreated.

Nalanyi came in from behind the screen: "What are you going to do?"

"First of all, find someone to take the blame." Chen Mo already had an idea in his mind.

In the imperial study room.

Chen Mo looked at Zuo Nian who was kneeling below, and said with a smile: "I have seen your performance these days, and I will never treat you badly."

"This is all what the foreign minister has already done. I don't dare to take credit for it."

"Hey, what are you talking about? The Wei Dynasty has clear rewards and punishments. I have decided to divide Jinxia into seven states. Each state will be governed by a prefect. The prefects are under the jurisdiction of the central government and obey the orders of the central government. I have decided to make you the prefect of a state. I don't know. What do you think?" Chen Mo smiled.

"Foreign ministers will always lead horses and whips for Your Majesty. They will go through fire and water before and after the saddle." Zuo Nian excitedly expressed his loyalty.

"It's not that serious." Chen Mo raised his hand and said with a smile: "You don't need to go through fire and water, you just need to do a small thing for me."

"But according to His Majesty's orders."

"Have you heard that the patrol below was attacked and dozens of people were killed or injured?" Chen Mo said.

Zuo Nian was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart. Could it be that he was letting himself.
