Great Wei scholar

Still waiting in the main hall, they were waiting for Xu Qingxiao to return.

In the main hall, the Empress is also waiting for Xu Qingxiao.

Prince Huaining went back and continued to go to prison, he is not suitable to come forward.

In the main hall, everyone was silent, no one spoke, they were all waiting.

After about a quarter of an hour.

Xu Qingxiao's figure appeared outside the hall.

In an instant, the officials became excited and bowed deeply to Xu Qingxiao.

"Congratulations to the lord, you have been promoted to the first rank."

Almost in unison, all the officials had already thought up words of congratulations.

Whether Xu Qingxiao killed Yipin today doesn't mean much to them, after all, the Seven Star Dao Sect is not the first choice enemy of Wei.

What really excited them was that Xu Qingxiao had been promoted to the first rank.

For Da Wei, this is a great thing.

Counting Xu Qingxiao, Dawei now has three first-rank statues, plus Tianlei Cannon, and six first-rank immortals.

Da Wei now has the qualifications to aspire to the Central Continent.

Coupled with Zhongzhou Longding, improving the landscape of Great Wei and benefiting the people of Great Wei, in two or three years, Great Wei will reach the stage of real prosperity.

This prosperous age is a prosperous age in which the common people live without shortage of food and have surplus money.

"You are welcome."

Xu Qingxiao bowed his hands towards the crowd, counting it as a gesture of politeness.

Then came to the main hall.

Bow to Ji Ling.

"Chen, Xu Qingxiao, thank you Your Majesty."

After entering the palace, Xu Qingxiao bowed to Ji Ling, thanking Ji Ling for what he had done for him before.

If Ji Ling hadn't used the soul of the first emperor of Wei to help him, relying on the Tiandi Wengong to make 48 great ambitions, it would be a bit embarrassing.

Naturally, Xu Qingxiao wanted to thank the Empress.

Just saying this, the empress shook her head, looked at Xu Qingxiao and said.

"Aiqing is being polite. I should be the one thanking Aiqing. Aiqing was promoted to the first rank, regained the Dragon Cauldron of Zhongzhou, and stabilized the foundation of the Great Wei."

Ji Ling said, she didn't take the credit, but thanked Xu Qingxiao instead.

The harmony between the monarch and his ministers made the officials happy. Today's Xu Qingxiao, whether it is prestige or personal strength, has reached a terrifying level.

If Xu Qingxiao is an ambitious person, then Great Wei Jiangshan will be in real trouble.

But the good thing is that Xu Qingxiao is a Confucian and Taoist sub-sage, he is not that kind of ambitious person.

Inside the hall.

Xu Qingxiao didn't continue to talk about the polite words, he had something to say when he came back in a hurry.

Otherwise, the current him should appear in Xizhou.

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

Xu Qingxiao made a sound without dragging his feet.

"Xu Aiqing, please tell me."

The empress opened her mouth and asked Xu Qingxiao to play.

"Your Majesty, now the barbarian country has been flattened, and all kinds of materials, money and silver have been seized, but the Shenwu Cannon has also been made public."

"I expect that the Chuyuan Dynasty and the Tuxie Dynasty will definitely not sit idly by."

"Furthermore, the minister has been promoted to the first rank today, and the Great Wei Longding has transformed into the Zhongzhou Longding. Everything has caused tremendous pressure on Chuyuan and Tuxie."

"So, I think that everything seems to be moving towards a prosperous age, but there are still some troubles for the Great Wei to truly become a prosperous dynasty."

"I don't know what His Majesty thinks?"

Xu Qingxiao said, the moment the Shenwu Cannon appeared, it meant a showdown.

The two dynasties will never allow Wei to have such a war weapon.

The Shenwu cannon can make the two dynasties sleepless, so if there is no accident, the two dynasties will join forces to attack the Great Wei.

Of course, it is also possible that it is a way of peace talks, but it is absolutely impossible for Da Wei to hand over the Shenwu cannon.

Then it is destined that a world-shattering war will break out between the three dynasties.

In fact, Xu Qingxiao thought about continuing to hide the Shenwu Cannon before, but in the end Xu Qingxiao gave up on this idea.

To attack a barbarian country, a quick battle must be fought, and if first-rank warriors cannot be mobilized, only the Shenwu cannon can solve this struggle.

It is not possible to delay the battle for these reasons. Great Wei has already paid a lot, although for the whole war, the price paid by Great Wei is not worth mentioning.

But if you don't take out the Shenwu Cannon, you will pay a high price.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Qingxiao set up 48 great ambitions. With the help of so many ambitions, breaking through to the first rank is to relieve the upcoming pressure.

It's just that just promoting yourself to the first rank doesn't do much.

Once the three major dynasties battle, it will be a full-scale war. It is impossible to be here one second and appear there the next second.

Moreover, the Chuyuan Dynasty and the Tuxie Dynasty also had a rank. If he did this, then others would do the same, and in the end, both sides would suffer.

Therefore, if the two dynasties are completely united, it will put pressure on Wei.

"kindness."

"The two great dynasties sent someone to send a secret letter half an hour ago."

"The meaning is simple. I hope that Great Wei will take out the cannons and provide research on the two major dynasties. At the same time, he is also willing to make friends with Great Wei and give various compensations."

"Gold, silver and jewellery, food and war horses, and even the Tuxie Dynasty were willing to offer 72 border cities, and the Yuan Dynasty offered [-] mines in exchange."

The queen nodded.

At the same time, she revealed this news, which was an exchange between the three emperors, and the rest did not know about it.

Right now, when Xu Qingxiao brought up this matter, the empress also said it.

However, as soon as these words were said, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty frowned.

"Nineteen border cities? 72 mines? Isn't that a little too much?"

"Is it the Nineteenth City of Lianyun Mountain?"

"The two great dynasties are so generous? Are you willing to cede so much to us?"

The officials were surprised at first, and then couldn't help being curious.

The Nineteenth City of Lianyun is the junction of the Great Wei Dynasty and the Tuxie Dynasty. If they own these nineteen cities, the Great Wei can deploy troops here, which can effectively prevent the Tuxie Dynasty from invading.

Just as a buffer point, it is an excellent location with great strategic value.

As for the 72 mines, let alone the Yuan Dynasty itself was rich in minerals. These 72 mines excavated high-quality ore every year, enough to create many powerful weapons for the Great Wei.

It's not the kind of ordinary sword, but the kind of sword that cuts iron like mud. There are 72 mines, which allow tens of thousands of troops to have the most sophisticated weapons every year.

Especially the cavalry, on the battlefield, is a harvesting machine.

Not a lot of value.

Coupled with gold, silver and jewelry, food war horses, and other things, it is indeed astonishing.

But soon, Chen Zhengru's voice sounded.

"The two dynasties really know how to calculate."

"The value of the Shenwu Cannon is equivalent to the first-grade fighters that can be produced. This kind of thing has absolute deterrent power."

"Whether it's the Nineteenth City of Lianyun or the 72 mines, Dawei's acquisition of these things is nothing more than a stronger overall strength."

"But if the Shenwu Cannon is taken out, and the two dynasties also have this kind of war weapon, then within 5000 years, Central Continent will still maintain a three-legged state."

"At that time, what if Wei is the strongest country among the three dynasties? Even if Wei has millions of cavalry, so what if everyone holds magical weapons?"

"In front of Shenwu Cannon, it's just a group of soldiers dying."

"It's a wishful thinking, it's really good."

Chen Zhengru's voice sounded, his words were full of sarcasm and disdain.

He immediately understood the key.

Dignity is only on the edge of the sword.

Whether a country is prosperous or not, the most important thing is military power, the mighty cannons, and let the great Wei complete the transformation. This transformation is not as simple as becoming stronger, but crushing.

If it weren't for the scarcity of Shenwu cannons, as long as there are three or five more, the Wei Dynasty can now send troops to attack Xie and Chuyuan.

So now let Da Wei hand over the Shenwu Cannon, in the name of sharing, in fact, he doesn't want Da Wei to have such an artifact of war alone.

Following Chen Zhengru's opening.

The officials were silent for a while.

They did understand the meaning of Chen Zhengru's words, but they understood even more that if Wei did not agree, the two dynasties probably would not let Wei off so easily.

"Give it to his mother, Your Majesty, don't blame the old minister for his unscrupulous words. The Yuan Dynasty has been studying Tianlei Cannon in the early years. If this battle is lost to the Tianlei Cannon, the Yuan Dynasty Will you give this to me, Da Wei?"

An Guogong cursed directly.

This is obviously impossible, he is not bad, if the empress is not here, he probably scolds even worse.

"Yes, will the Yuan Dynasty give us the Great Wei?"

"These two dynasties are really shameless."

"At the beginning, when the Great Wei was at its peak, the two dynasties kept asking for benefits. Now that I, the Great Wei, have such a powerful weapon, I am shameless and dare to ask for it. What a fucking bunch of dogs."

"Your Majesty, I will never agree to this matter, even if we fight to the death with the two dynasties, we will not accept it, and we will not agree."

Following An Guo's public speaking, the generals followed suit, and they definitely disagreed.

It's just that although the generals are cursing.

But there are also some voices, which are more rational.

"Your Majesty, princes, all the princes."

"The two dynasties dared to open their mouths to propose sharing. Obviously, they have negotiated. If our dynasty refuses, there is no guarantee that the two dynasties will join forces."

"If there is a full-scale war by then, can we resist?"

"Da Wei is still in the recovery stage. If there is an all-out war, it will not be a good thing for me, Da Wei."

Someone spoke up and said so.

He didn't want to say this, but from a rational point of view, especially in the struggle between major powers, he had to say it, and he couldn't be blindly confident.

indeed.

After saying this, everyone fell silent.

Total war is not a good thing for Great Wei, especially for the current Great Wei.

Affordable, but better not to fight.

The current Great Wei, with the blessing of the Zhongzhou Dragon Cauldron, can rest for one day, which is better than the two dynasties for ten days, or even a month.

With this kind of development speed, let alone five or ten years, as long as Dawei is stable for two or three years, it will be an incredible thing.

Naturally, they don't want to fight.

Not afraid, but unnecessary.

"No matter what, the Shenwu Cannon must not be taken out and shared with his mother's legs."

"Well, my great Wei finally had such an artifact. Taking it out and sharing it is undoubtedly seeking skin from a tiger. I don't think the two dynasties dare to really send troops to Great Wei."

"Really take ten thousand steps back, if they dare to send troops, this Marquis will be the first to fight."

The generals have a very staunch attitude. It doesn't matter if there is an all-out war or not. It's okay to fight. It's best not to fight.
