All Heavens: Starting from Traveling Through Song Qingshu

Chapter 112 Foreign Envoys Tribute

Kunning Palace.

Song Xuan held the suet jade hand of his beautiful wife Zhou Zhiruo with his left hand, and put his right hand on her lower abdomen, stroking it gently.

"I remember when I first met you, you were just a little girl who just covered her eyes when she bumped into someone. I didn't expect that you would become a mother in a blink of an eye."

Song Dadi was a little emotional.

Time flies so fast, before he knew it, he was going to be a father.

Zhou Zhiruo's eyes were full of tenderness, her pretty face was pressed against his chest, feeling the surging and powerful heartbeat of her husband, a sense of happiness welled up spontaneously.

"Zhiruo is really lucky to be able to marry someone she likes."

"Compared to Master and her old man, I don't know how many lifetimes of virtue I have accumulated in order to meet you in this life."

Listening to Zhiruo's mention of extinction, Song Xuan also sighed, "Master Ni has an extreme temper, but he is also a hard-working person. When I have time, I will take you back to Emei and pay homage to her old man."

Zhou Zhiruo was surprised and said, "Husband, is your identity suitable?"

Song Xuan smiled and said: "I don't worship as the emperor, but as the son-in-law of Emei, a disciple of Wudang, it's still okay!"

Zhou Zhiruo immediately smiled when she heard the words, her eyes were narrowed into a line, and she said softly, "My husband is so kind!"

That night, Song Xuan stayed in Kunning Palace, but did not do anything else, but talked with Zhou Zhiruo and his wife for half the night, and then fell into a deep sleep.

In Jingren Palace, Liu Qinglian waited for half a night. After learning that Zhou Zhiruo was pregnant and the emperor was going to accompany the queen, she glanced at Xiao Zhao with some displeasure.

"I asked you to come earlier some time ago. You have to delay until now. It's okay now. The Kunning Palace has already won the first place."

As she said that, she lay straight on the bed, and said weakly: "I have never fought before, and I can't compare with having children. It seems that she is indeed the Queen's life. I can't accept it!"

Xiao Zhao's face was a little blushing, she mustered up her courage to come to Liu Qinglian's place today, and she was somewhat nervous about the matter of two women working together as a husband.

At this moment, after learning the news that the young master would not come, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Go to sleep, get up early tomorrow, let's go to Jingren Palace to see Zhou Zhiruo."

Liu Qinglian yawned and stopped talking, and soon fell asleep.

Xiao Zhao glanced at her with some admiration, and he couldn't help admiring her in his heart. This saint of the White Lotus Sect has a really big heart, and she can sleep as long as she says she can.

In the early morning, when the sky was slightly brighter, Liu Qinglian woke up from her sleep and felt that the bed was trembling slightly.

She was taken aback for a moment, and then heard Xiao Zhao's suppressed voice behind her.

"Brother-in-law, please be gentle, don't let Sister Qinglian know!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Qinglian's brain buzzed.

When did brother come?
Although she was curious in her heart, she still pretended to be sound asleep, lying on one side and not daring to move. She knew that her weird brother liked this kind of tune.

After playing a sitcom about his sister-in-law with Xiao Zhao to his heart's content, Emperor Xuan of Song drove to Kunning Palace and had breakfast with Empress Zhou Zhiruo.

"Husband, you are really busy today." Zhou Zhiruo's tone was somewhat resentful.

"Haha." Song Xuan smiled awkwardly, and didn't answer at all, saying: "You have a good rest, I went to court for my husband, and I will come to accompany you in the evening!"

Under Zhou Zhiruo's amused gaze, Song Xuan ran away in embarrassment.

After the busy spring plowing, the fields that had been abandoned due to the war before were gradually resumed with the stability of the country, and even a lot of wasteland was reclaimed.

For this result, Song Xuan was very happy.

The people have a livelihood, and the country has started to enter a period of rapid development in an orderly manner, and Song Xuan once again has the intention of going to war.

Although the Mongols were beaten away, they are still strong in Mobei and other places. If they are given a few years to recover, they will definitely come back to covet our land in the Central Plains.

On this day, the Great Court Meeting.

All civil and military officials gathered, and Song Xuan mentioned the matter of going to the grassland.

The military officers were naturally ecstatic, since there was no war since the founding of the country, they kept clamoring that they were going to be free, but now they heard that there was going to be a war, and they immediately regained their energy.

However, the civil servants were not interested in sending troops. Even Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen were admonishing them, hoping that His Majesty the Emperor could wait for another two years, and it would not be too late to send troops until the Wu Dynasty became truly prosperous and powerful.

In this regard, Song Xuan directly issued an order, and the various departments of the court began to prepare.

Regardless of whether the battle is fought or not, the logistical work must be prepared in advance.

In a word, I don't need to fight a battle, but if I want to fight, I must be able to send troops at any time.

After discussing the matter of sending troops beyond the Great Wall, another matter was discussed in the court.

According to Qing Yiwei's report, the envoys from Japan and Goryeo will arrive at the imperial capital in two days. This time they are here to pay tribute, and the officials are very eager to discuss this.

Li Shanchang: "At the beginning, Qianyuan wanted to go to war against the Wa country several times, but they were all blocked by storms. Otherwise, that island country would already be the territory of our Wu Dynasty."

Liu Bowen nodded and said with a smile: "Although the Mongols are brutal, I have to say that their military strength is still very strong, and they are invincible in the Western Regions and Mobei. Our Wu Dynasty can drive the Yuan court away, and the Japanese and Koryo countries are afraid." It's normal to come here to pay tribute."

Speaking of this matter, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty showed pride.

The Heavenly Kingdom is not called for nothing. It was fought with real swords and guns on the battlefield. As the founding ministers, they really have the confidence.

After all, it was the first time a foreign envoy came to pay tribute. Liu Bowen, Song Lian and others talked a lot about the etiquette and reception specifications, but Li Shanchang didn't talk much.

Song Xuan saw that they were discussing eagerly, even arguing over what specification should be used, so he couldn't help but speak.

"Sooner or later, it will be the territory of my Wu Dynasty, so there is no need to take it too seriously!"

When he said this, the officials stopped arguing, thought about it for a while and then slapped their thighs. This is really the case!
The strength of the military of the Wu Dynasty was well known to all the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty. The imperial court raised millions of soldiers, so they were not idle to eat, and sooner or later they would go out to fight.

Even the Mongolian army, which is known as invincible in field battles, is not an opponent. How can small countries such as Japan and Goryeo resist?

After the two countries were incorporated into the territory of the Wu Dynasty, the Wu Kingdom would be nothing more than two more provinces.

It seems unnecessary to go to war for the sake of the envoys of the two future provinces.

The enthusiasm of the courtiers dropped immediately, Song Xuan glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said: "When the envoys from the two countries enter Beijing in the future, you will be in charge of receiving them.

These two countries are fearful of power but not moral, you know it well, there is no need to be too polite! "

"Sir, obey the order!"
