Chapter 66: The overall situation (Part 1)

"Hey, hey, a big bad guy. Why did you suddenly become the emperor?" Tang Yi suddenly changed the subject.

"I have always been the emperor." I stared at me and said, "What does it mean to suddenly become the emperor? Besides, you don't know that I am the emperor. How could I find me?"

"You suddenly disappeared that day. I looked everywhere but couldn't find you." Tang Yi pouted, "Sister Qing'er is very busy, and Yi'er dared not disturb her. However, grandfather said, Lu Xiaohuzi must know where you are. So, I went with my grandfather and wrapped Lu Xiaohuzi hard. When he went to the east, we went to the east, and when he went to the west, we went to the west."

Lu Xiaomao? I'm evil. I guess Lu Qian was afraid of being stung by Tang Yi these few days. He also knew what I mean to Tang Yi, and he didn't dare to beat him, and he didn't dare to scold him, so he had to take him to the capital and throw him to me.

"Uh, Yi'er. I need to explain something to you. When you see me in the future, you must be more respectful. When you meet me, you must kneel down when you meet, and when you leave." I tried hard to safeguard the dignity of the emperor.

"Why?" Tang Yi's pretty eyes widened and said in a vague way: "It's so troublesome to kneel down. I saw you before, don't you have to kneel down?"

Speechless, in this regard, there was no way to communicate with her. I had to give up for a while and find an old lady to teach her well in the future.

I changed the topic and said, "Yi'er, has there been any progress in the crossbow gun I asked you to design?"

"It's already designed." Tang Yi became excited when she talked about this. However, suddenly her eyes turned and she said quickly: "No, I can't give it to you now."

"Why can't you give it to me?" I said in surprise.

"When I came here just now, Xiao Duozi refused to take me everywhere." Tang Yi pouted and said, "It's the first time Yi'er has come to the palace. I haven't seen many things before."

"Then I will immediately let Xiao Duozi take you around. This palace can be like your own home. You can live here as long as you want." I said with ill-hearted heart.

"No, I want you to take me there." Tang Yi pulled my sleeve and said without relying on it. As she said, her eyes rolling again: "If you refuse, Yi'er will be sad. Yi'er is willing to go back to Tangmen, Sichuan."

It's a serious threat. However, I don't want to use this trick. If I spoil her, my days will be harder. I pretended to be dark, and I copied her waist, put her on my thigh with my back hand, and hummed, "You little girl is disobedient again, right? I want to teach you a lesson." As he said that, he hit her buttocks several times one after another.

"Help, help." Tang Yi's girl was in pain and started shouting.

"Help? Hehe, this is my study. Even if you scream, no one will come to save you." I laughed evilly.

"Your Majesty, the new top scholar, Lord Tao, asked for a meeting." Xiao Duozi suddenly screamed outside my study door.

I was shocked. Why did Yingying suddenly appear at this time? Her hand that was beating someone's butt couldn't help but relax.

When Tang Yi saw that there was an opportunity, she hurriedly shouted again: "Help, help."

Sure enough, Tao Yingying didn't know what was going on inside. She rushed in and cared about my safety.

I hurriedly put Tang Yi down, but unexpectedly I was one step late. Tao Yingying had already seen this scene, her face did not change at all, and she respectfully knelt on the ground and said, "I am the minister, Ziying, bowing to the emperor, long live my emperor."

"Don't give me a gift, just keep my body calm." At this point, I have to pretend to be nothing: "Come on, give me a seat."

Tao Yingying arched her hands slightly again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." She sat down lightly.

"Ziying is here in Nanshu. Is there any important matter to report?" I lay back on the chair of the Grand Master and asked softly.

"I heard from the emperor that Ziying passed by Nan Study Room and heard the eunuch on duty say that the emperor was handling official duties in Nan Study Room, so he came here specially to see what could be helped." Tao Yingying looked at Tang Yi and then said calmly: "The emperor's official duties are indeed extremely busy."

"Cough cough." I quickly coughed twice to relieve my embarrassment and replied, "Mr. Tao is intent." As he said that, he immediately turned to Tang Yi and said, "Girl Yi, why don't you take out your design drawings and look at it with Lord. Tao is the first person in mechanical design. I am smarter than you, but I am much better."

When Tang Yi saw an outsider present, he was inconvenient to bargain with me again. He had to take out a drawing from his arms, stuff it into my hand, and then put it in my ear and said, "I will take me to the palace once more."

I glanced at Tao Yingying's face without any change, so I handed the drawing to Yingying with confidence, put it on her head and watched it together.

Tang Yiya is worthy of being a firearm expert. When designing this set of crossbow guns, it has been inspired by many inspirations. Both the appearance and practicality have reached an excellent level.

Tao Yingying looked at it for a while before she breathed a sigh, "What a powerful killing weapon. If this weapon was made, I don't know how many people would die because of it."

"Ziying, you're afraid you don't understand." I looked at her calmly with my hands on my back and said, "Advanced weapons often represent not killing, but peace."

Tao Yingying was stunned and shook her head slowly and said, "I don't understand what the emperor said."

I smiled softly, turned my head and said in a deep voice: "Ziying can tell that my Great Wu Dynasty looks calm on the surface now. But how many surrounding forces are eyeing my Great Wu Dynasty? Have you ever known that if my Great Wu Dynasty shows a little weak state, it will definitely lead to a situation of evil wolves? I am afraid that you and I will not want to see the devastation caused by the creatures."

Tao Yingying pondered slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

I took the opportunity to say again: "If my Great Wu Dynasty had strong soldiers and horses and advanced weapons, it would form an invisible deterrent force. With this deterrent force, the initiative in war can be restrained in my own hands. As long as I Great Wu is not evil, it will naturally be peaceful forever. Ziying, do you still think this weapon is a killing thing?"

"Your Majesty, it was my negligence." Tao Yingying said suddenly: "Your Majesty begs the Emperor to forgive me."

"Haha, it's not a question of forgiveness or not." I waved my hand indifferently: "Ziying, you are a genius in mechanical design. Why not see where this weapon can be improved? Sometimes, weapons are produced not as a tool of war, but as a deterrent force. It is good to teach those barbarians and wild tribes that have no intention of being in my Great Wu Dynasty."

"I obey the order." Tao Yingying turned to Tang Yi and said, "Miss Tang, why don't we discuss it again."

Only then did I return to my magistrate chair with satisfaction, but I succeeded in this trick to divert attention.

"I heard from the emperor and Tao Qian, the Minister of Rites, asked for a visit." Xiaoduozi outside the door began to scream again.

Damn, today is so lively. Why did Tao Qian come to my Nan Study again just after leaving? Could something important happened?

"Please come in, Lord Tao." I shouted loudly.

When Tao Qian came in, he first bowed to me, and then met Tao Yingying with his colleagues in the officialdom. Then he said respectfully to me: "Your Majesty, the old minister has just received a letter from the peace envoy of our court. It is said that the Eastern Turkic Khan and the King of Goryeo will join forces to the capital of our Great Wu Dynasty. One is to pay tribute to the beautiful mountains of our Great Wu Dynasty, the other is to walk around as a neighbor, and the third is to discuss the strategic alliance attack on the Japanese."

I stood up suddenly and said happily: "Okay." Originally, my plan was that the three countries might discuss this matter at the junction. Unexpectedly, those two guys were so brave that they dared to come to the Great Wu Jing to discuss major events. If this matter was changed in normal times, I would at most have a plain reaction. However, now the Great Wu Dynasty is in an embarrassing situation where the three vassal states betrayed and conspired with the enemy. At this time, the Eastern Turks and the colleagues of the Goryeo kings were sent to the Great Wu Dynasty, which undoubtedly released the concept of the intention of the three countries to form an alliance. This would have a infinite deterrent effect on those rebel countries. It has won a lot of precious time for my response strategies.

"Emperor, in the eyes of the old minister," Tao Qian paused for a moment and said quickly: "The Goryeo Kingdom won't talk about it for now, but the Eastern Turkic Khan came in person must have his own political plans. The Eastern Turkic Emperor and our Great Wu Dynasty have been rubbing for hundreds of years, and there has been no war, but they are in conflict in the end. Although this trip he came, it seems that although it is a good thing, he has to guard against him."

"In my opinion, the Khan of the Eastern Turks probably wanted to personally consider the strength of our Great Wu Dynasty and make an assessment of the feasible surname for cooperation." I frowned slightly: "The Eastern Turks must have been involved in a strong enemy who cannot handle it alone. Only then will I be willing to come to our Great Wu Dynasty to see if there is a possible surname for cooperation."

"The emperor's analysis makes sense." Tao Qian also thought a little: "The Eastern Turks are outside the pass, only a small part of their territory, and most of their territory is on the grassland. The fierce wolf on the grassland is not only the Eastern Turks. All Mongolian tribes are brave and good at fighting. There is also the Rakshasa Kingdom in the extreme north, which has a strong body and a brave battle, and extremely coveted the warm and fertile land in the south. It is precisely the Eastern Turks that blocked their way of progress horizontally. This shows that conflicts will break out between the two countries sooner or later."

"Hehe. That's what's interesting." I laughed: "I want to see what kind of sincerity the Eastern Turks will show. Usually, he has taken care of me in the Great Wu Dynasty."
