From eunuch to emperor

According to diplomatic etiquette, when missions go on missions, they will notify in advance to let the other party make preparations.

So the sudden arrival of the Nanliang mission surprised Shi Le.

"The old slave doesn't know either. We only found out when they arrived in Xingqing City."

Ma Fang was also in a daze, not knowing what Li Chengdao was up to.

Shi Le said, "See you in the main hall."

Shi Le took everyone to the main hall to sit down, Liao Qing, the Shaoqing of Nanliang Honglu Temple, and Maizheng, the minister of the Ministry of War, brought the mission in.

"Liao Qing, Shaoqing of the Honghe Temple in the Great Liang."

"Mai Zheng, the servant of the Daliang Ministry of War."

"Meet the King of Xixia."

All the missions paid their respects together.

Shi Le nodded slightly, and said: "The envoy has worked hard all the way, and I grant you a seat."

Liao Qing and Mai were sitting down, and the others stood aside.

Shi Le opened his mouth and said: "The envoy suddenly came to this king, what's the matter?"

Maizheng glanced at Liao Qing, indicating that he would do the talking.

Liao Qing is from Honglu Temple, in charge of Nanliang's diplomatic affairs, and can speak eloquently. At this time, he should come forward to explain.

Liao Qing got up and said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, this sudden visit is indeed unexpected, but there is a reason for it."

"Your Majesty must have known about Jinling City."

"This fellow Long Cheng'en sneaked into Jinling City and caused chaos, causing a lot of restlessness."

"Now that the Tianxiahui has belonged to me, we can no longer effectively suppress Long Chengen."

"The superior is worried that Dong Zhou's family will become big, so he specially sent me to conclude an alliance and form an offensive and defensive alliance."

After Liao Qing finished speaking, Shi Le was not surprised.

Kong Ji and Lu Qichang's group also expected that the messenger would come for this purpose.

Shi Le glanced at the few important officials in the hall, without any hesitation in his heart, he said, "Okay, my king agrees!"

For Xixia and Nanliang, Long Chen's threat is the most direct.

Both Xixia and Nanliang are not sure that they can deal with Long Chen, and they both need to form an alliance.

Liao Qing rejoiced and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the superior has a letter of credence here, which has already been signed and stamped. Please affix the seal of the state, Your Majesty. Daliang and Xixia are allies."

Liao Qing took out the credentials prepared by Li Chengdao and presented them.

Ma Fang took it and handed it over to Shi Le.

Shi Le took a cursory look and was sure there was nothing wrong with it. He signed it immediately and took a jade seal to seal it.

Of the two covenants, Shi Le kept one and returned the other to Liao Qing.

Xixia and Nanliang officially became allies and jointly deal with Long Chen.

Liao Qing happily accepted the document, and said: "It is said that the king is the lord of the Ming Dynasty, and this statement is true."

"From today, I, Liang, and Xixia will advance and retreat together to resist the Eastern Zhou Dynasty together."

Shi Le asked Ma Fang to accept the document, and said, "Okay, I signed the alliance document today, and I hope Nanliang can keep his promise."

Liao Qing said: "Da Liang is a country of propriety and righteousness. Since I have the letter of alliance here, I will definitely keep my promise."

Shi Le said happily: "That's great. Please rest the envoy in the posthouse. This king will treat you all."

Liao Qing glanced at Mai Zheng, the servant of the Ministry of War, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for a long time while waiting for the King's order."

Monk Kong Ji said: "The envoy came from Jinling City through mountains and rivers. The journey is tiring, and rest is necessary."

"Even if you are in a hurry to go back and return to your life, you won't work overnight."

"Even if the envoys are not tired, the horsepower is always exhausted."

Mai Zheng felt the same way, people can bear it, but horses are already tired from walking.

"Thank you, King."

Liao Qing and Mai Zheng got up together to thank Shi Le.

Shi Le said: "Your Majesty, treat all the envoys well."

Shi Haoran got up and bowed: "Your minister leads the order."

Shi Haoran invited the Nanliang Mission to rest at the posthouse.

Missions to other countries are important targets for wooing.

Shi Le asked Shi Haoran to receive these people, not only to improve the standard, but also to let Shi Haoran find a target for instigating rebellion.

In history, there are many examples of envoys stationed in other countries being incited to rebel.

After the people left, Shi Le said: "I think the Nanliang envoys are in a hurry, and the situation in Nanliang may not be good."

Monk Kong Ji nodded and said: "Yes, Li Chengdao lost three masters this time."

"Your Majesty, the poor monk suggests strengthening the defense of Zhenguo Temple. If Long Chengen sends troops, he must first target Daxia, and Zhenguo Temple will bear the brunt."

Shi Le nodded slightly, and said to Privy Envoy Lu Qichang: "You contact Master Deshan, gather heavy troops in Zhenguo Temple, and keep a close eye on the Long family's army at Jade Buddha Pass."

Lu Qichang stood up and bowed, "This humble minister leads the decree."

...

Eastern Zhou Dynasty, capital.

Long Chen leaned against the window, with Qing Meng in his arms, and put his hands into his clothes.

The rustling autumn wind blows down the yellow leaves all over the trees, the air is cold and dry, but Long Chen feels very warm.

"Brother Chen..."

Qing Meng raised her head, her little cherry lips kissed Long Chen's neck, and Shuanglou hugged her body.

Long Chen put Qingmeng on his lap and played slowly through the silk bellyband.

Putting your hand in directly, touching the skin, and playing through the silk, there is a different feeling.

"How does it feel?"

Long Chen pressed against Qingmeng's soft earlobe and asked.

Qing Meng buried her head in Long Chen's chest, and said softly: "Brother Chen..."

Long Chen hugged Qing Meng and said with a smile: "What's wrong?"

Qing Meng hugged Long Chen, took a bite lightly, and said with a giggle: "It's windy outside, it's a bit cold."

Long Chen smiled and said, "I'll warm it up for you."

In the yard, a gust of autumn wind blew by, the branches trembled for a while, and yellow leaves fell down, sprinkled on the ground, mottled.

Qing Meng let go of her hand, her small fist feebly hammered on Long Chen's chest, complaining: "I agreed not to bully me today, you come again."

Long Chen smiled and said: "You blame me? You did it first just now."

Qing Meng said angrily, "I hate it..."

Coming down from Long Chen's arms, Qingmeng went behind the screen and changed into dry clothes.

Your sister-in-law walked to the door and bowed to Long Chen: "My lord, I have something to report."

Long Chen got up and went outside the door, and the sister-in-law said: "The subordinates have already investigated the matter reported to the lord two days ago."

Last time, a group of rogues who were hunting passed by the door, and when they saw Qing Meng by chance, they became malicious, intending to indecently assault them.

Your sister-in-law reported this matter to Long Chen.

Sister-in-law Gui and Aunt Six have found out the details of the man and are here today to report.

"Whose bastard dares to covet Lao Tzu's woman."

Long Chen's tone was cold, and his words were full of killing intent.

Your sister-in-law said: "This man's name is Li Xian, his father is Li Yi, a rich man in the capital, and he is Li Dashan."

Long Chen nodded slightly, he knew this Li Dashan.

Li Yi has a thousand hectares of fertile land in the south of the capital city, and also has many shops in the capital city. He is a well-known local tyrant in the capital city.

At the same time, because this person is kind and generous, he has a good reputation among the people, so everyone calls him Li Dashan.

"Li Dashan's son, if his son is like this, I guess that old thing is not a good one."

"I've been here for the past two days. Don't worry about your safety. You continue to dig Li Yi's old background. I want to see how many shady things this old guy has done."

Li Xian dared to covet Qingmeng, Long Chen would definitely destroy him.

What Long Chen did was not simply to kill a person to vent his anger, he wanted to uproot and destroy the Li family.

"Subordinates obey!"

Your sister-in-law will check immediately.

After Qing Meng changed her clothes, she shouted in the room: "Brother Chen, let me play the piano for you."

Long Chen walked in, hugged Qingmeng, stretched his hand in, Qingmeng struggled and said: "I just changed clothes, your sister-in-law and the others laughed, saying that every time you come, my clothes have not been dried."

Long Chen smiled and said, "It's still your problem."

Qing Meng was so itchy from being scratched, she giggled and said, "Brother Chen, stop making trouble, I will play the piano for you."

Long Chen said with a smile: "I don't listen to the qin, I want to listen to the bamboo flute, and you can play it."

Qing Meng said softly: "Brother Chen, you are too bad."

Long Chen held on tightly, with his hands under his skirt, threatening: "Listen to the bamboo flute, or change clothes, you choose."

Qing Meng giggled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll play, I'll play for Brother Chen."

Qing Meng opened a box, took out a jade flute, and slowly blew it on Long Chen.
