Chapter 1674 Wait for death

Overnight, the Jiang family's bloody incident shocked the world.

It was also from this day that one news after another that shocked the world spread throughout the world.

Countless discussions spread among the people.

"Have you heard that, the emperor has developed a crop that can produce forty stones per mu!"

"More than that, I also heard that the emperor has also built a school and asked poor families to enter the officialdom!"

"Really? Then, we poor people can also study...but books are so expensive."

"Don't worry, the emperor has developed papermaking technology, and books are sold very cheaply now."

"Yes! Then I'll buy a few sets first!"

Since Xu Que massacred the Jiang family among the five surnames and seven hopes, he has become out of control.

Building roads, making paper, merchandise, splitting aristocratic families, rushing to the treasury...

One policy after another, as if it was prepared, began to be implemented step by step.

This also pushes the broken Eastern Tang Kingdom towards the prosperous side.

After learning about the Jiang family's murder, Xuanyuan Wanrong seemed to have agreed to Xu Que's approach and no longer opposed anything, allowing him to gradually take over the entire court.

This means that the Empress, who once held a huge power, really wants to make a fight for power.

After all, the two of them have the same goals.

As long as the Dongtang Kingdom can continue to develop safely without major changes, the two of them can survive here until they die and pass the test successfully, the best result will be.

Xuanyuan Wanrong never understood why those strange thoughts always popped up in Xu Que's mind.

It looks rebellious, but it can always have unexpected results and make this country better.

She even wondered, could it be that what Xu Que once said was not a slander, he really had the ability to become the emperor of the ages?

As time goes by, Xuanyuan Wanrong herself did not realize that her view of Xu Que was changing bit by bit.

...

Time is the most changeable person. In the blink of an eye, the two have been in this world for two years.

In the past two years, Xu Que's various policies have built the Eastern Tang Kingdom into a powerful country.

Although it is still not as good as the Qin State, it is already a very different place than the Eastern Tang Dynasty two years ago.

This day is the court meeting again.

After the court dispersed, the two were in the imperial study room, discussing how to develop the next step.

"Report!"

Suddenly, an eunuch rushed over, knelt outside the door of the imperial study room, and shouted: "Empress, um... Emperor, Qin has sent envoys!"

"kindness?"

Xu Que and Xuanyuan Wanrong looked at each other. After two years of running-in, they were so familiar that they could see each other's thoughts.

The two of them were tacitly informed that there was something wrong with them.

"I'll solve it. You are not good at these things." Xu Que said.

"..." Xuanyuan Wanrong hesitated for a little while before nodding, as if she had acquiesced.

The two of them got up, opened the gate of the imperial study room, and walked away.

...

At the same time, in the main hall, Qin envoys stood among the ministers, with a arrogant look and a look of disdain in their eyes.

The ministers around them all looked dark and iron-like, and they were talking in a low voice.

"This Qin envoy is too arrogant!"

"There is no way... After all, Qin State has strong soldiers and horses, and has ruled most of the land in Jiuzhou."

"This time I said I was here to visit, God knows what I was hiding!"

The envoy listened to the discussion around him and sneered, his expression becoming more and more arrogant.

"Emperor, the Empress is here!"

Accompanied by the eunuch's sharp voice, Xu Que sat on the dragon throne, while Xuanyuan Wanrong sat on the phoenix throne next to her.

The envoy's eyes were full of disdain, and he just bowed and said, "See the King of Dongtang."

A counselor immediately turned out in anger: "Bastard! I don't bow to you when I see Your Majesty, this is very disrespectful!"

The ministers around him also had hidden anger in their expressions, and their eyes were like looking at the enemy who killed their father.

Xu Que waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's a guest from afar. I don't know what the envoy is doing this time?"

Xuanyuan Murong glanced at him, a little surprised.

Although the two had already agreed on the way here, no matter how the envoy provoked, they had to endure it.

After all, Qin is now in great power, and if the fight starts, the Eastern Tang Kingdom will be destroyed in three days.

They can't use a slightest bit of true energy now. They are purely two ordinary people, so naturally they can't crush Qin with the power of immortal cultivators.

Therefore, only the current plan is to delay the army.

We can find a way to protect the Eastern Tang Kingdom first, and with their literary and military strategies, we can slowly subvert the Qin Kingdom.

But it takes time.

With her understanding of Xu Que, this guy couldn't stand it.

At this time, the envoy stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Holy Lord of Qin has only one decree to come to your country."

He paused, looked around his ministers, and said word by word: "Let your country surrender!"

Wow!

The entire hall suddenly exploded!

"What? Let's surrender?!"

"The King of Qin is too much! Is my mother?"

"Do you want to die if you say that? I will be your whole family!"

"Submit before you fight? A joke! My Dongtang Kingdom is full of strength and will fight this battle!"

"Uh... Lao Du, you think it clearly, we really can't beat it."

The envoy's words were too straightforward and aroused public anger.

This kind of act of persuading surrender without being beaten, placed between the countries, is equivalent to saying that I will definitely be able to take you, and if you are obedient, you won’t beat you up.

To put it bluntly, it is no different from riding on the head of the king of the Eastern Tang Kingdom.

In particular, this was a great humiliation when an envoy said it.

However, unexpectedly, Xu Que did not change much and always maintained a smiling expression.

After a while, Xu Que pressed his palms in a low voice to calm the scene down.

Xuanyuan Wanrong leaned into his ear and whispered: "You can agree temporarily. The national strength of the Eastern Tang Kingdom is weak and there are not so many troops to engage in a national battle."

Xu Que's face remained unchanged: "How long do you think it will take us to achieve the national strength of Qin?"

"Ten...no, eight years."

Xuanyuan Wanrong has learned about the strength of the Eastern Tang Kingdom. It has a large population, but its military strength is weak and its weapons are backward, so it has always been in a weak state.

In eight years, it can be completely built into a powerful country.

By then, it will be completely enough to fight against Qin.

Xu Que nodded, and the smile on his face became more and more enthusiastic.

If Duan Jiude saw Xu Que’s smile at this moment, he would definitely shout: “This kid must want to make trouble again!”

"My dear friends, don't be impatient. The King of Qin is able to send envoys to him, which means he is still very sincere."

When the emperor of the Eastern Tang Kingdom said this, the envoy looked even more arrogant, as if he was arrogant.

"But... before making a decision, I have some words, and I hope the envoy can bring them to the King of Qin for me." Xu Que waved to the envoy, "The envoy comes forward, you must not let others hear this."

The envoy sneered in his heart, thinking that it was nothing more than words begging for mercy, so he came to the dragon throne.

The ministers' eyes were about to bleed, and several people even held the official hat on their heads in their hands. They threw the hat away just after Xu Que made a decision.

"The king of Dongtang, what do you mean to bring to us the lord?" The envoy said arrogantly.

Xu Que said with a smile: "Tell the King of Qin, ask him to wash his neck... wait for death!"
