Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm - Chapter 443
Chapter 443 443 Kings
When Li Wan heard this, the smile on her face became even stronger.
“So good.”
“Let’s go, the food is ready, let’s chat while eating.”
“Well.” Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue followed.
The next day.
Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao said goodbye in person, and Li Wan set off.
At the same time, news of Emperor Yan’s death began to be distributed to the states and counties.
The imperial court has decided that the Emperor Taishang will be buried three days later.
On the fourth day after , the new king ascended the throne and held the enthronement ceremony.
All the ministries began to get busy and hurry up to prepare for the state funeral and the new emperor’s enthronement.
Lin Xiaoyue had some free time and returned to the National Teacher’s Mansion to spend a leisurely life.
Li Xiao is now Murong Xuyang’s right-hand man, busy and busy, and is also arranging a lot of things.
Even, Murong Xuyang deliberately made Li Xiao appear in front of people.
The officials in Kyoto still had some impressions of this “evil star”, and many people recognized Li Xiao.
But no one dared to take the initiative to mention it.
As soon as it came, the Emperor Taishang had already served Zhaoxue for the Nangong family before, and also ordered that the descendants of the Nangong family could return to the imperial court.
Secondly, Li Xiao followed Emperor Yan, and even had a close relationship with Emperor Yan. The current “Shaxing” is not only not a wanted criminal, but may become the next upstart in the DPRK and China.
There is a third.
Some of the courtiers discovered that Li Xiao was also related to the National Teacher’s Office.
He often went in and out of the Guoshifu, and even stayed in the Guoshifu for the night.
What’s more, some people saw that Li Xiao actually talked and laughed with Anyang County Lord, and behaved intimately.
These news are shocking, and at the same time, they are also vigilant.
So, everyone chose to shut up. Wait and see.
A few days passed quickly.
The news released by the imperial court has not spread too far, and the enthronement ceremony on the Kyoto side has already begun.
On this day, under the auspices of the National Teacher, Murong Xuyang ascended the throne and became the new emperor of Yan.
On the same day, Murong Xuyang decreed that his mother-in-law was named the Empress Dowager, and the princess was named the Empress.
It’s just that the queen is still on her way to Beijing, and she can only wait until she arrives in Kyoto, and then choose a day to hold the ceremony.
So far, the imperial power of Dayan has changed smoothly.
It took another seven or eight days before the news reached the frontier.
After , it was introduced to Da Chu and Da Jin.
The New Year is approaching.
Xu Yan heard the news and had a hunch that this was a good opportunity.
He entered the palace that night and spoke to Emperor Jin.
“It’s… two days before the New Year’s Eve. Is it uncomfortable to use force at this time?” It was only after the domestic food shortage was reluctantly resolved that the cold winter came again.
This year’s winter was extremely cold, and many people were frozen to death due to lack of food and clothing.
The army is also in short supply of food, grass and cotton clothes. Now that they are attacking the country of Yan, they will be under great pressure.
“Because it’s almost 30 years old, the Yan army must have never imagined that we will send troops at this time.”
“In addition, the country of Yan has only replaced the new king, and it is the time when the military’s heart is unstable.”
“Our army is attacking now, it will definitely be unexpected, and the Yan army will be caught off guard!” Xu Yan said excitedly.
He couldn’t wait.
He could not forget the humiliation he received in Dayan.
Liu Wuji, and his granddaughter.
He will trample them underfoot, let them, let the world know, who is the final winner.
“This…” Emperor Jin was still hesitant.
“Your Majesty!” Xu Yan raised his voice and bowed deeply to Emperor Jin.
“Don’t miss the opportunity, the time will never come again!”
Emperor Jin was silent.
After a long time, I finally made up my mind.
“If so, then I will immediately appoint Mr. Marshal of the Three Armies to take down Yan on my behalf!” Emperor Jin said solemnly.
“I hope you can unite with Da Chu and take Dayan in one fell swoop.”
“When it is successful, I shall personally welcome Mr. Triumph and confer the position of Mr. National Teacher.”
Xu Yan’s eyes lit up.
National teacher, yes, he also wants to become a national teacher like Liu Wuji. Become God in the hearts of the people.
The state of Jin did not have a national teacher before, but after this, there will be.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” Xu Yan saluted.
A ray of light flashed in Emperor Jin’s eyes.
“The imperial decree will come to the mansion later, sir, let’s go down and prepare.” Immediately said.
“Yes! I retire!” Xu Yan then left.
At this time, the Chu State also received news of the replacement of the imperial power of Dayan.
was different from the excitement of Jin, and Emperor Chu looked solemn.
“Tianqiong, what do you think of this?” Emperor Chu looked at Yuchi Tianqiong.
“I thought that the envoys from the Jin State would leave soon.” With his understanding, Xu Yan would not wait any longer.
In fact, even without their Chu State, with the current strength of Dajin, it is enough to use troops against Dayan.
Unfortunately, Dajin will not allow them to watch the fire from across the bank.
Among the Three Kingdoms, they were the weakest, the Great Chu.
But it is precisely because of this that they are the objects that both countries want to unite.
Next, if they don’t cooperate with Dajin in sending troops, Dajin will definitely target them.
Even more, it is not necessarily the case with Dayan that they will be dealt with in reverse.
But if they cooperate with Dajin to send troops.
Once Dayan was destroyed, Dajin turned around and attacked them.
This is inevitable, it’s just a matter of time.
It was the messenger sent by the National Teacher of Dayan, and what the Nangong family said was reasonable.
Instead of cooperating with Dajin, Dachu might as well unite with Dayan behind the scenes.
At the critical moment, it will deal a heavy blow to Dajin, destroy Dajin’s spirit, and weaken Dajin’s strength at the same time.
As a result, the strength of Dajin has declined, and the Three Kingdoms will usher in a new balance.
Now that the imperial power of Dayan has been replaced, and the land has been ceded to indemnity before, the national strength has been greatly damaged, and it will take decades to recuperate.
After the end of the war, Dayan will no longer declare war.
And their big Chu also needs such a period of time to rest.
As for Dajin, the situation will be similar.
In this way, the three countries can coexist and usher in at least ten years of peace.
Before , he met Nangong Xiao, although he thought his analysis was reasonable. But he didn’t think that the Dayan court would do as he said.
Although he promised the other party verbally, he could change it at any time before the last minute.
But now, his mind has changed.
Mr. Wuji, in the end is Mr. Wuji.
In such a short period of time, it really changed the pattern of Dayan.
Even, the Dayan Emperor was replaced.
Passers-by have already thought about it for them. If so, what else do they have to hesitate?
Seeing his own emperor showing panic, Yuchi Tianqiong bowed his hands.
“I ask the emperor to act in accordance with our agreement with Dayan.”
Emperor Chu looked at Yuchi Tianqiong below, and after a while, nodded.
“it is good.”
Dayan, the imperial palace.
“Nangong Xiao accepted the order.” Emperor Yan sat on the dragon chair and said solemnly.
Below Li Xiao was silent for a moment.
Immediately, he got down on one knee and saluted.
“The minister accepts the decree.”
Nangong, he doesn’t want to bear this surname again.
That’s why he refused the emperor’s proposal over and over again, and was unwilling to appear in the courtroom again.
He thought that the emperor would let go, but he still came tonight.
“I made you the marshal of the three armies, commanding the frontier troops and horses. Tomorrow I will secretly leave for the frontier.”
“Follow the purpose!”
Murong Xuyang gave a wink to the side.
Hu Gonggong is about to present his handsome seal.
Yes, after Emperor Taishang died, Eunuch Hu passed away in his old age, and now serving the new emperor is Eunuch Hu, the adopted son of Eunuch Hu.
This one was holding his thighs tightly before, and followed the chicken and the dog to the sky.
Li Xiao glanced at Shuaiyin, then took it.
“The situation is urgent, and we can only urgently follow the right. Once the news of my succession gets out, Chu Jin will definitely take action soon.”
“Only when you go, Aiqing, can I feel at ease.” Emperor Yan looked at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao hurriedly saluted.
“I already know your thoughts.”
“I am not my father, and I will not take action against the Nangong family.”
“When Aiqing returns, I will give you the iron coupons of Danshu to keep the Nangong family in peace. Dayan will not be destroyed, and the Nangong family will always enjoy the glory.” Murong Xuyang said.
Li Xiao was shocked.
then saluted Murong Xuyang again.
“After the war, the world will be sure. The minister only wishes to bring the head of Anyang County back to Qingshi Town, and spend the rest of his life in idle clouds and wild cranes.”
Murong Xuyang frowned.
After looking at Li Xiao for a long time, he finally spoke again: “Then I will designate you as the new Anyang King and give you Anyang County as a fief.”
Seeing that Li Xiao was about to refuse again, Murong Xuyang hurriedly said again: “I don’t need the name of the Nangong clan to reward Li Xiao directly. Besides, the iron coupons of the Danshu are still the same.”
When he first ascended to Dabao, he must appease the national teacher and the Nangong family, and let the world see his benevolence.
It is necessary to seal the king. It is necessary to separate people out, and the arrangement of the fief in Anyang County is just right.
As soon as he came, Anyang County was his fief before. After that, he gave the fief to Li Xiao, and the world would only praise him.
Secondly, he has already run a business in Anyang County. After Li Xiao went, he could accurately grasp all his movements.
Third, compared to the entire Dayan, Anyang County is really small, and it is almost impossible to rely on an Anyang County to compete with the entire Dayan.
It is very cost-effective to be able to use the name of the king of Anyang to take back the military power.
Li Xiao was slightly silent.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” I finally responded.
Murong Xuyang looked happy.
stepped forward and patted Li Xiao on the shoulder.
“Come on, I will practice it for you!” Immediately, he dragged Li Xiao to the side hall.
Next, the monarch and his ministers drank together and chatted happily.
During the banquet, Li Xiao proposed to take Lin Xiaoyue with him, and Murong Xuyang agreed.
also made fun of these two couples.
In the evening, Li Xiao returned to the National Teacher’s Mansion full of alcohol.
Lin Xiaoyue looked disgusted and almost didn’t put her husband to bed.
Li Xiao laughed happily and pulled his daughter-in-law to the soft cave to talk.
told him what Murong Xuyang had arranged for him to do and the promises he had made.
also showed his handsome seal to his daughter-in-law.
Lin Xiaoyue held the handsome seal and felt quite heavy.
“Congratulations, you are about to become a prince!” After taking a look, he returned the handsome seal to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao, however, lost his general seal, and put one hand on Lin Xiaoyue’s shoulder.
“I only wish for my husband, I can stay with my wife for the rest of my life, and don’t ask for anything else—”
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyue’s heart warmed. Don’t worry, the people in front of you are definitely a lot more cute.
“Okay, I know it all.”
“Go wash and sleep, I’ll go find my grandfather and tell him about it.” After speaking, Lin Xiaoyue got up.
We have to leave early tomorrow morning, and we have to talk to my grandfather.
In addition, maybe the grandfather also had some instructions for them.
“Go, remember to find something back.” Li Xiao had a sad face.
Lin Xiaoyue couldn’t help but smile, went out and asked Fan Teng to take care of her, and went to the bamboo garden.
In the bamboo garden, Liu Wuji hasn’t slept yet.
Seeing the granddaughter coming, the old man came to the spirit.
After listening to his granddaughter talking about the situation, the old man already knew it.
“You can rest assured and go.”
“Xiao’er has already negotiated with Chu State before, and there is a high probability that there will be no problems.”
“If Xu Yan is really daring and moves the Jin State to move troops, under the attack of the Yanchu army, it will definitely make the Jin army come and go.”
“Furthermore, even if the state of Chu temporarily changes its fortune, there is Xiao’er in charge of himself, and the Chiwu army is stationed. It is not so easy for Chu Jin to invade the hinterland of Dayan.”
“The situation in all countries is not good now, and there is a shortage of food and grass. Once Chu and Jin are unable to attack for a long time, they will withdraw.”
Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
After listening to my grandfather’s analysis, I just felt admiration.
This really counts everything.
In short, Dayan cannot lose this war.
The best result of is that the state of Chu cooperates, and after destroying the main force of the Jin army, then the Three Kingdoms enter a long period of peace.
The worst result was to defeat the Chu-Jin United and continue to defend. Buy time for recuperation for the rear.
Liu Wuji glanced at his granddaughter.
“The border is bitter and cold, go there, take care of yourself.” She said with concern.
Actually, he didn’t want his granddaughter to suffer.
Knowing that persuading himself is useless, so he simply stopped persuading him.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“Don’t worry, Grandpa.”
After thinking for a while, Lin Xiaoyue looked at Liu Wuji again.
“By the way, Grandpa. Now that the emperor has ascended the throne, when are you going to return to Dashi Village?”
She and Li Xiao couldn’t rush back to celebrate the New Year. If grandpa hurried back, they would still be able to get there before the third year of junior high.
With grandpa going back to accompany her mother and Xiaozhi, she can worry less about it.
In addition, the matter of her and Li Xiao’s expedition had to be brought back by someone.
Liu Wuji smiled.
“I’m going to say goodbye to the emperor tomorrow. Go back to see your mother and Xiaozhi, and come back to deal with the follow-up matters when the border war is over.”
If it goes well, he can also take the opportunity to resign from the emperor, saying that he has retired due to illness.
Lin Xiaoyue nodded, “So good.”
“With you back, my husband and I can leave with peace of mind.”
“By the way, if mother asks about me and my husband-“
Liu Wuji looked at his granddaughter.
“Nothing to hide.”
“Your mother is timid, but she has a thorough mind. I will explain the situation to her clearly, so that she can feel more at ease.”
Lin Xiaoyue nodded.
Thinking of what Liu Shi had said to her before, I felt that my grandfather knew my mother better than myself.
“After going to the border…” Then, Liu Wuji began to instruct Lin Xiaoyue about something.
Lin Xiaoyue listened carefully and nodded in agreement from time to time.
continued chatting for over half an hour before Liu Wuji finished speaking.
“Okay, it’s getting late. We have to leave early in the morning, so go back and rest quickly.” After instructing, Liu Wuji finally said to Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue just got up.
“Then, grandpa, you should rest earlier.” After bowing, he left.
Liu Wuji personally sent Lin Xiaoyue out and handed it over to the maid who was waiting outside.
and instructed the maid to send the person back before turning back into the house.
The next day.
The couple got up before dawn.
didn’t say goodbye to Liu Wuji, he took Fan Teng and rode two horses to the border gate.
