Chapter 198: The King of Qin's reaction, the extremely excited empress
The next day.
The news that the remnants of the White Lotus Sect had been destroyed spread throughout Xingqing Prefecture in an instant.
Even Datong Prefecture heard the news.
Similarly, with the intentional spread of King Wu, Xu Shu's name as a Confucian swordsman was known throughout Xingqing and Datong prefectures, and was talked about with great relish by the people of the two prefectures.
Datong, Qin Palace.
"Confucian Sword Immortal, what a great Confucian Sword Immortal." After hearing the report from his subordinates, the King of Qin immediately said hello.
He laughed loudly and said, "Confucianism and swordsmanship are both divine. I never thought that there would be such a peerless person in our Great Wu Dynasty. By the way, what is the name of this Confucian swordsman?"
Xu Qingyi said, "Your Highness, this man's name is Xu Shu, and his courtesy name is Yuanzhi."
"Xu Shu is Xu Yuanzhi?" The King of Qin nodded.
Immediately, a trace of envy appeared: "The King of Zhenbei is indeed full of talented people."
An unknown Confucian scholar.
He is actually a peerless figure who is proficient in both Confucianism, Taoism and swordsmanship.
As the King of Qin spoke, he glanced at the counselors present with some disdain.
That look seemed to be saying: Look at others, then look at yourself.
Several counselors saw this.
The corners of their mouths twitched and they lowered their heads consciously.
"The remnants of the White Lotus Sect deserved to be put to death, but it's a pity to waste that batch of disaster relief grain." The King of Qin shook his head with regret, then frowned again.
He asked Xu Qingyi, "Did you clean up the tail?"
Naturally, Xingqing Prefecture's troop deployment could not be hidden from his eyes, and he was also the first to take action.
I had a vague idea of what was going to happen.
Therefore, when the King of Wu just mobilized his troops, he ordered people to clean up the looting of relief grain so that the court would not find out about him.
"It's done." Xu Qingyi reported.
The King of Qin's expression relaxed a little after hearing this: "That's good."
He didn't want to get nothing and end up in trouble.
"What did the King of Wu say?"
The King of Qin asked, looking at the scholar in white.
"Your Highness." Upon hearing this, the scholar in white stepped forward and replied respectfully:
"There is no news from King Wu yet, but Xu Yuanzhi's name was able to spread in Datong and Xingqing overnight. King Wu must have been behind this. As for his purpose, I suspect that King Wu is trying to show goodwill to King Zhenbei."
The white-robed scholar said this.
After pondering for a while, he continued, "And the Empress's order to let King Wu dispatch troops and cooperate to wipe out the remnants of the White Lotus Sect must have some reason. From this point of view, the Empress may have some leverage over King Wu, forcing him to cooperate. Therefore, King Wu took the initiative to show goodwill to King Zhenbei, hoping to use the power of King Zhenbei to make the Empress afraid to act rashly and not dare to settle accounts with him later."
This statement came out.
There was a brief silence in the hall, and the counselors all nodded thoughtfully.
I don't think there is anything wrong with his speculation.
And the King of Qin.
After being silent for a while, he raised his eyes and looked at the scholar in white with deep meaning: "Your guess is correct. It is possible."
"In that case, you go to Xingqing Prefecture and see if you can get anything out of the King of Wu." The King of Qin said, without giving him a chance to continue speaking.
He waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
"Here."
Upon hearing this, the scholar in white respectfully withdrew.
"Qingyi, have someone keep an eye on him." Not long after he left, the King of Qin suddenly said coldly.
the other side.
Tang Cai'er did not stay after the battle.
Instead, after giving some instructions to Zhao Wanrou and other girls, he rushed back to Chang'an without stopping.
In the palace, Tianluan Palace.
"Your Majesty, Tang Caier from the Qingyuan Sword Sect requests to see you." A reporting voice sounded.
The empress, who was handling state affairs, suddenly raised her head and said, "Let her in."
Not long after, Tang Caier, with a thin layer of sweat still on her forehead, came to the prince and said, "Your Majesty."
"Thank you for your hard work, uncle." Upon seeing this, the empress first said it in a soft and concerned voice.
He immediately stood up and walked towards His Highness.
With a little nervousness on her flawless face, she said, "Uncle Master, have the remnants of the White Lotus Sect been dealt with?"
"It's solved." Tang Cai'er nodded.
"Are any of you sisters injured?"
"A few disciples did suffer minor injuries when they surrounded and killed the White Lotus Sect masters, but they are not serious and will recover after a few days of rest."
"That's good." The empress couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard that, with an expression as if she had been freed.
After all, Qingyuan Sword Sect is the only three people she can trust at present.
She didn't want to see any loss.
After receiving a satisfactory reply, the empress immediately asked the question that concerned her the most: "When Uncle Master comes back, has he counted how much silver the White Lotus sect's remnants have looted over the years? Is there any rare treasure? How much is it worth?"
"This"
Looking at the empress's expectant eyes.
Tang Caier coughed dryly and said weakly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I came back in a hurry."
"No problem."
The empress was a little disappointed after hearing this, but she didn't mean to blame him.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. When I left, I took a look at the White Lotus' treasury. It was filled with silver and all kinds of rare treasures. There were no less than three thousand pieces of armor alone, and the silver was piled like a mountain. I think the harvest is much more than expected." Seeing the empress frowning, Tang Cai'er hurriedly added.
"hiss"
With the supplement from Tang Caier.
The empress opened her red lips slightly and took a breath in shock.
Silver was piled up like a mountain, and there were three thousand pieces of armor, as well as all kinds of rare treasures.
"Okay, okay, that's great." The empress's breathing became rapid at this time.
Since she ascended the throne, the finances of the Dawu Dynasty have always been summarized in a deficit. The empress had never seen so much silver before. Just thinking about it made her excited.
With silver, the foundation of the Dawu Dynasty would not be shaken.
Below that.
She can then proceed to the next step.
Recruit soldiers, mobilize troops to guard various passes, and solve the needs of Chongli Prefecture.
"By the way, Your Majesty, there is one more piece of news."
Seeing the empress so excited, Tang Cai'er didn't want to interrupt her, but the matter was of great importance and could not be delayed. She immediately reported everything that happened yesterday.
Following Tang Caier's report.
The empress's expression became gradually solemn.
Especially after hearing that the leader of the White Lotus Sect had broken free from the shackles and entered the realm of heaven and man.
His expression changed in shock.
"Xu Shu?"
And after hearing this, I found that Xu Shu was also a respectful person.
After hearing the news that both Confucianism and swordsmanship are heavenly, the empress' pupils shrank and she looked at Tang Cai'er in shock: "Are you talking about Xu Shu and Xu Yuanzhi?"
"It's this person." Tang Cai'er nodded heavily.
The empress got the confirmation, and a hint of shock flashed in her narrow eyes again.
I couldn't help but recall it.
Xu Shu, who had appeared many times in the simulation before.
"No wonder he values this person so much."
