Chapter 339 Crisis
Time flies, Li Liangzuo has been in seclusion for two years. In the past two years, Daxia Kingdom has been living a stable life. Now the entire Daxia Kingdom revolves around the queen. Although Feixue is a woman, she is like a fish in water for the government. This should be related to the genes and living environment of the snow. During the more than two years when Feixue was in charge of Daxia Kingdom, Daxia Kingdom stopped its external conquests, and the army and the people were able to recuperate. Thanks to the policy of Feixue's lack of snow, Daxia Kingdom's national strength increased by 30% in just two years.
At this time, Anshou Palace had become the temporary political center of the Great Xia Kingdom. There was no snow hidden in Anshou Palace and was reviewing the memorial. The magpie walked to the snow hidden in Feixu and said, "Empress, the Executive Yuan Master Zhou and the Deputy Military Envoy Yang asked for a visit."
Wuzang Feixue put down the brush in his hand and said to Xima: "Let them both come in!"
After Zhou Wentai and Yang Shousu came in, they saluted to Wuzang Feixue and said, "I am here to see the Empress..."
"Please get up, please take your seat!" Wuzang Feixue said very politely: "I wonder what the two sirs are coming today?"
"Report to the Empress, recently, the Anxi Protectorate's Office has reported that the Black Khan Dynasty is gathering troops in Balashaguen, and it is suspected to be advancing eastward..." Yang Shousu said to Wuzang Feixue.
"What does Lord Zhou think about this?" Wuzang Feixue asked Zhou Wentai.
"I think that although the enemy situation is unclear now, we should take precautions early and we should send troops to Anxi to deal with the unexpected." Zhou Wentai suggested to Wuzang Feixue.
"Rashly increasing troops will inevitably intensify the tension between the two countries. Once a war with the Black Khan Dynasty begins, the Silk Road will inevitably be cut off. This is very unfavorable to us. You can go down first! Let me think about it..."
"Yes, I'm leaving..."
After Zhou Wentai and Yang Shousu left, Wuzang Feixue sighed and thought to himself: "Your Majesty, when will you be able to get out of seclusion? Do you know how difficult it has been for Xueer in the past two years?"
"Magpie, go and find Eunuch Zhuo for this palace." Wuzang Feixue said to Xixi; the Black Khan Dynasty and the Daxia Kingdom are enemies and friends. Now the Black Khan Dynasty is gathering troops in large numbers, and its intention is to make Wuzang Feixue have to be guarded. Wuzang Feixue is a pacifist. In Wuzang Feixue, if you can fight this battle, you won't fight. The Black Khan Dynasty is located on the road to the west of the Silk Road. Once the two countries fight, the Silk Road will be cut off. This is a fatal blow to the Daxia Kingdom. Now 60% of the tax revenue of the Daxia Kingdom comes from this Silk Road, so Wuzang Feixue will definitely not allow any problems on the lifeline of the Daxia Kingdom.
"Son-member, please see the mother..." Before Xiao Zhuozi came, Li Wu came to pay homage to Wuzang Feixue.
"My nephew greets to my aunt..." A young man bowed to Wuzang Feixue.
Wuzang Feixue said happily: "It's Wu'er! Come and sit next to the mother..."
For Li Wu, Wuzang Feixue can be said to be extremely favored. During the more than two years of Wuzang Feixue's rule, Wuzang Feixue has been cultivating power for Li Wu. Compared with Li Bingchang, Li Wu had a fatal flaw in fighting for the heir to the throne, that is, his lack of support from the matriarch. When Li Liangzuo regained power from the Prime Minister of the State Mozang Epang, the people of Wuzang family were either killed or exiled. Although Wuzang Feixue still sat in the position of the queen, the position of the queen has never been very stable.
After all, the Wuzang family is a core force of the Dangxiang people. This is also the reason why Li Liangzuo did not expel all the Wuzang family. Those who had slightly committed crimes were directly exiled to Heishui City. During the two years of Wuzang Feixue's rule, some people from the Wuzang family were successively pardoned for the crimes and assigned certain positions for them. These people were naturally grateful for Wuzang Feixue, and naturally they would desperately support Wuzang Feixue's mother and son.
"Liang'er, you can sit down too!" Wuzang Feixue said to the young man.
"Thank you aunt..."
This person's name is Wei Zang Chenliang. He is a distant nephew of Wu Zang Feixue. Now the leader of Wu Zang family. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Wu Zang Feixue did not arrange Wu Zang Chenliang in the court, but arranged it in Li Wu's Liang Palace, where he served as the chief of the royal palace. Although this position is of high rank, he has little power. To put it bluntly, the chief of the royal palace is the chief of the royal palace. All the affairs in the royal palace are handled by the chief of the royal palace.
"Wu'er, what's the matter with me?" Wuzang Feixue asked Li Wu.
Li Wu said to Wuzang Feixue: "Mother, I heard that the Black Khan Dynasty was intending to provoke a war, so I asked to order the troops to Anxi."
"No, there is no confirmation of any situation now, how can you send troops to? I have said that there are so many generals in the court now, even if you send troops, it is not your turn to be in charge!" Wuzang Feixue said with some displeasure; "Besides, there is no sight on the battlefield. If you have any, how can you let your mother live for the rest of your life!"
"Aunt, this battle is a great opportunity for Your Highness to make great achievements and make contributions. The Black Khan Dynasty fought with our dynasty many times, and this time it was defeated. Therefore, in the process of fighting with our army, its morale will be low. When our army meets the defeated generals of the past, its morale will be high. Just this one is enough to suppress the enemy." Wu Zang Chenliang said to Wu Zang Feixue.
At this moment, Xi Magpie came in and said, "Eunuch Zhuo is here."
"Hurry, let him in..."
"Slaves meet the Queen..."
"Get up quickly!" Wuzang Feixue asked Xiao Zhuozi; "Eunuch Zhuo, have you received any news recently?"
Xiao Zhuozi reported to Wuzang Feixuehui: "The slave was about to report to the empress. The slave recently received news that the Black Khan Dynasty was gathering troops in recent times, and its movements were unknown. In addition, according to the spies from the slave in the Western Regions, a descendant of Turkic descendants in the Western Regions were rising and a Seljuk Empire was established. According to information, the Seljuk Empire is launching a large-scale northern expedition..."
"Where is this Seljuk Empire?" Wuzang Feixue asked Xiao Zhuozi.
Xiao Zhuozi reported to Wuzang Feixue: "The Seljuk Empire is located south of the Black Khan Dynasty and west of the Pamir Mountains."
Wuzang Feixue smiled and said, "It seems that the Black Khan Dynasty gathered its troops this time not for us, but for the Seljuk Empire."
"Empress, this is exactly the case." Xiao Zhuozi continued to say to Wuzang Feixue; "But Empress, the battle between the Black Khan Dynasty and the Seljuk Empire will inevitably affect the smoothness of the Silk Road, and we have to make a countermeasure..."
"Eunuch Zhuo said it right. The Silk Road is the lifeblood of our country and cannot be lost." Wuzang Feixue said to Xiao Zhuozi; "You send someone to the Western Regions immediately and find out the situation of all countries in the Western Regions very clearly."
"Yes, I understand." Xiao Zhuozi said to Wuzang Feixue.
A war about to break out in the Western Regions is invisibly affecting the fate of the Great Xia Empire. The reason why the Seljuk Empire went north was nothing more than to control the entire Silk Road. The territory of the Black Khan Dynasty was a core area of the Western Regions, where the Silk Road was divided into three routes and continued to go west.
