Chapter 1042 Kong Ming’s return

Half a year passed in a flash.

Time slipped away quietly, and it was time for spring in March again.

Dragon Tang Empire.

Imperial capital.

Chang'an City.

In the palace.

Emperor Tang sat upright in the imperial study room, frowned, and at this time, two figures entered the hall.

The two bowed one after another, "Greetings to Your Majesty."

Emperor Tang nodded, raised his hand slightly, and signaled the two to get up, "The whereabouts of Mr. Shi?"

The man said, "Go back to Your Majesty, after Mr. Shi entered Xia Kingdom, there was no news."

"Weichen sent people to Xia to look for it, but there was no news. I'm afraid there will be a lot of danger."

Emperor Tang's face was extremely gloomy and said coldly: "In this way, is the young master of Wanbing Pavilion loyal to Emperor Xia?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, this matter is still being investigated. Xia Guo Longying and Jinyiwei are everywhere. The empress do not dare to send too many people to come."

Emperor Tang said again: "Is there news over Tianming?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, all the warriors who entered the Xia Kingdom disappeared."

Emperor Tang slowly stood up, "What a Xia Kingdom, I am becoming more and more curious about Xia Kingdom."

"Continue to send people to Xia Kingdom, and you must find out the whereabouts of Mr. Shi in any case."

"Weichen will do it now!"

The two bowed and stood up and left the hall.

Emperor Tang walked down from the Long Case and came to the entrance of the hall. "The Han Dynasty had close contact with the Xia Kingdom and sent envoys to each other. It seems that I have to make plans early."

Originally, he just regarded the Han Dynasty as a strong enemy, but now there is another Xia Kingdom, which is a distant country that they know very little about.

It is precisely because of this that Emperor Tang always felt that the threat of Xia State was far greater than that of the Han Dynasty.

.........

This day.

Outside Jinling City.

On the official road in the wilderness.

A carriage arrived slowly, and the person sitting upright on the car was Zhuge Liang who was heading to the Han Dynasty. He had been to the Han Dynasty for half a year.

Zhuge Liang did not stay in the Han Dynasty for too long, because he felt that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, so he hurried back to Jinling.

There are two reasons.

First, Ye Jun needs to know the news about the Three Kingdoms of the Han Dynasty, Long Tang Dynasty, and Tianming.

Second, staying in the big man for a long time is not a good thing for him.

In the palace.

When Ye Jun received the news, he learned that Zhuge Liang had returned, he hurried out of the hall and walked towards the palace gate.

After waiting at the palace gate for a long time, the chariot finally appeared.

Zhuge Liang's figure appeared and saw Ye Jun standing in front of him, he hurriedly came up, "I pay homage to Your Majesty."

Ye Jun raised his hand slightly and helped Zhuge Liang up, "Kong Ming doesn't have to be too polite. Thank you for your hard work in this journey."

Zhuge Liang said: "I worry Your Majesty, but fortunately everything goes well."

Ye Jun said: "Can Kong Ming gain something in the Han Dynasty for half a year?"

Zhuge Liang nodded, "In half a year, Weichen has gained a lot."

The words are over.

He turned around and walked towards the chariot, took off a few ancient books from the chariot, and returned to Ye Jun again, "What your Majesty wants is here."

Ye Jun said: "Go back to the palace and tell me slowly."

In the next half month, Ye Jun and Zhuge Liang were in the imperial study room, from the geography map he brought back, what Zhuge Liang saw and heard in the Han Dynasty, and the information he collected, the two finally completed the geography map drawn by Ye Jun.

I have the most basic understanding of the location, territory, and city of the Han Dynasty, Tianming, and Long Tang.

At the same time, I know a lot about the Han Dynasty. According to the news brought back by Zhuge Liang, the strength of the Han Dynasty is now comparable to that of the Xia Dynasty.

Let's say that each has its own strengths.

Then Long Tang and Tianming's strength should not be weak in the Han Dynasty. From this, it can be seen that the strength of these three empires is almost the same as that of Xia Kingdom.

Because of Ye Jun, Xia Kingdom has developed more advanced and faster.

But after all, the unification time was too short, and the foundation was still a bit weak. There was friction between the Dragon Tang, the Han Dynasty and the Tianming Kingdom.

But it did not hurt their country's foundation. The Three Kingdoms have been standing for many years and the country's foundation is incomparable to the Xia Kingdom.

Ye Jun looked at the geography map in front of him and nodded with satisfaction, "Kong Ming, you have made great contributions to your visit to the great man. It really did not disappoint me."

Zhuge Liang said in a faint voice: "Your Majesty, in fact, I have to thank someone for having such a rich harvest when I went to the Han Dynasty."

Ye Jun was stunned, "Who is it?"

Zhuge Liang said again: "Li Taibai."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "When Weichen arrived at the Han Dynasty, Li Taibai came to the door and sent Weichen a lot of valuable things. It can be seen that the documents and scrolls were all collected by him for a long time."

Li Bai?

Ye Jun never expected that Li Bai had traveled all over the world and had already arrived in the Han Empire. "Taibai, haven't you come back with you?"

Zhuge Liang said: "He has gone to the Long Tang Empire."

Ye Jun nodded, "Taibai advocates freedom and traveling around the world is his dream, and I should have thought of it."

"Your Majesty, when the last time I met with Li Taibai, he asked you to tell Your Majesty that it won't take long to travel to Long Tang, and every inch of land in the sky will send you back a map of the two countries."

Ye Jun's face darkened, "It's too vain to worry."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "Kong Ming, you have been to the Great Han Dynasty. In your opinion, how should Xia Kingdom develop in the future."

“What should we do with the Three Kingdoms?”

Zhuge Liang said: "Your Majesty, I think that continuing to maintain relationship with the Han State can make Long Tang and Tianming afraid, and it will be beneficial to Xia State without any harm."

"It is not the time for us to raise troops to the Three Kingdoms. There is the mysterious Dajin in the eastern territory of Xia Kingdom, and the southern territory of Nanliang, Nan Liao, and Southern Song Dynasty. At this time, we will be attacked from both sides of the enemy when we launch troops."

"It is just right to use the relationship between Han and Xia to restrain Long Tang and Tianming. At least for a short period of time, they will not dare to act rashly."

"However, Your Majesty should always be the Emperor of Han. This person is by no means an ordinary person. He is enlightened in the situation and has a clear understanding of the development of the empire."

Ye Jun said: "In this way, the Han Emperor is a rare wise king."

Zhuge Liang nodded, "As a wise monarch, if a person has no problems, he will be impeccable there. This is the feeling that the Han Emperor gave to the weak ministers."

"So I think the Han Emperor will become His Majesty's biggest enemy."

Ye Jun said again: "Kong Ming, when you go to the Han Dynasty, do you have many powerful and powerful generals and soldiers in their country?"

Zhuge Liang said: "There are many, there are hundreds of war generals in the court, including at least five of the great masters and war generals."

"As for capable ministers and advisers, they are also full of talents. One of them impressed the most, Wei Xuan."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "Many of this person's understanding, ideas, and ideas make me feel inferior to me."

"Many of his ideas are very compatible with His Majesty. Wei Xuan is the first literati to make the Wei minister feel dangerous except His Majesty."

Wei Xuan?

So awesome?

With so many capable people in the Han Dynasty, Long Tang and Tianming should not be weak either.

A person who can make Zhuge Liang feel dangerous must not be underestimated.
