Chapter 693

Reclining on the seat, Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed slightly in the sunshine outside the window.

Out of intuition, he instinctively thought that the British would play an ignominious role again this time, and the country likely to benefit was Japan.

After all, excrement churning stick is excrement churning stick. Britain has always been good at creating national conflicts. As a former British Empire, Britain deliberately left a lot of hidden dangers of regional conflicts in the world before the collapse of this worldwide colony.

For example, in contemporary India, India and Pakistan had a good plan to govern separately, but they left a Kashmir area, which led to several conflicts between India and Pakistan.

At the same time, Britain separately demarcated the McMahon line in southern Tibet of China, and then assigned a large area of Chinese territory to India, which is the origin of the territorial disputes between China and India.

In the Middle East, Britain changed Kuwait from a province of Iraq to a protectorate of Britain. Later, the two countries became independent, but they still gave Iraq an excuse to launch the Gulf War.

The most important thing is that Britain, as an island country outside the European continent, has long pursued the policy of "glorious isolation". In order to prevent the rise of a powerful power in the European continent and its struggle for hegemony, it has put on a small shoe for France today and beat Germany tomorrow, which has made Europe uneasy.

Although the contradiction between the countries in the European continent itself is the main factor, the relationship with Britain can not escape.

Naturally, Xiao Ming was disgusted by such a country with its own ruffian ring. Of course, other countries on the European continent are not good birds. He has always been discriminating against other races.

Putting down the memorial, Xiao Ming fell into meditation. The British warship's shelling of the Intrepid was no less than an act of war. He was not Cixi, who would rather have a friend than a slave, or measure the material resources of China to win the favor of his country.

Since he came to this world, he was destined to end the western hegemony in the world, but now that the border problems of Dayu have not been solved, and Korea and Japan are covetous, he has no energy to deal with these foreigners.

However, it was impossible for him to swallow his anger, so he took up his pen and commented on the memorial: "once the British warship is found, it will be sunk immediately. "

after writing, Xiao Ming gives the memorial to Qian Dafu and asks him to send it back to Qingzhou by post station.

Qian Dafu had just left when Pang Yukun came to the imperial study in a hurry. He said to Xiao Ming, "emperor, general Niu is back."

Xiao Ming was overjoyed when he heard that most of the troops in the war had been transferred. Qingzhou was basically the same as an empty city, and Xiao Ming was also upset about this.

Now that the army is back, he can rest assured.

After a pause, Pang Yukun said, "emperor, this time general Niu Zhen took the father and son of King Zhao, Queen Zhao and the 13th Prince back to Qingzhou. "

when he said this, Pang Yukun stared at Xiao Ming. After all, it was a bit sensitive.

"Queen Zhao and the thirteen princes? "Xiao Ming suddenly sighed," you can really leave me a problem. "

Having said that, Xiao Ming walked out of the imperial study and went to the political hall. Since Niu Zhen had brought people back, he naturally had to deal with it.

To the political hall, Niu Zhen and others have been waiting.

Xiao Ming sat down on the Dragon chair and said, "general Niu Zhen is tired. It's a great achievement to stick to Juyong Pass and conquer Chang'an. I'm sure I'll be rewarded this time."

Lu Fei, Qi Guangyi, Bai Mu and other generals smile one after another, while Niu Zhen is calm. He said: "emperor, this time the final generals have mixed merits and demerits. They are ashamed of the emperor and dare not accept the merit."

Xiao Ming was stunned for a moment. He once accused Niu Zhen of delaying the war and not conquering Qingzhou. At this time, Niu Zhen must have said that because of this.

However, for Xiao Ming, there is another meaning in Niu's words, that is, he is worried about the success.

Now niuzhen is not the same as he used to be. After the work of the mine, niuzhen has worn away his spirit. Now I'm afraid the most important thing he wants is to be able to spend the rest of his life safely.

Therefore, in Xiao Ming's view, Niu Zhen intentionally made some small mistakes and left them to Xiao Ming to achieve the goal of not continuing to be an official.

After all, today's cattle are almost sealed.

At this time, Xiao Ming looks at Pang Yukun, and Pang Yukun nods to Xiao Ming. Obviously, he means that Xiao Ming's merits and demerits are equal, and he will not be canonized as Niu Zhen.

He nodded and said: "even so, general Niu Zhen has done more than his fault. Just to stop the official's long mouth, I won't be canonized any more. I'll give you three thousand taels of silver this time. "

Niu Zhen was relieved, and he quickly said," thank you, Emperor long en. "

after pondering for a while, Xiao Ming asked," where are the father and son of King Zhao now? Where are empress Zhao and the thirteen princes? "

" after returning to the emperor, the father and son of King Zhao had been sent to Qingzhou prison, and the empress Zhao and the 13th Prince were both rebellious and sent to Qingzhou prison. "

Fiji was also in the palace. He was a little impatient and said," ridiculous, how can empress Zhao and the thirteen princes be put into prison? Empress Zhao is the emperor's mother in name. Don't you let people point to the emperor's backbone? "Pang Yu Kun frowned. Filial piety and honesty were the foundation of being a minister and king in all dynasties. This time Niu Zhen did not handle it properly. He said, "emperor, empress Zhao can't be guilty of the same crime as king Zhao."

When he came here, he was thinking about the problem of empress Zhao. After five years in the world, he naturally knew the importance of filial piety and honesty. Because of this, he said that Niu Zhen had left him a big problem.

After a pause, he said: "Feige elder, you immediately go to Qingzhou prison to bring out empress Zhao and the third prince, and find a house for her for temporary resettlement."

"Yes, Emperor. "Fijian nodded and turned out.

Seeing that Fiji had left, Pang Yukun said frankly, "the emperor is ready to deal with empress Zhao and the 13th prince."

"Even if queen Zhao didn't let the 13th Prince ascend the throne, she indirectly killed the former Emperor. I can only demote her and the 13th prince as common people. What do you think? "

" I think so too, but the emperor, even so, can't let empress Zhao and the thirteen princes leave Qingzhou, so as not to make use of them in the future. " Said Pang.

Xiao Ming understands Pang Yukun's meaning. In the future, some people may use the names of empress Zhao and the thirteen princes to rebel. After all, the northern part of Dayu is in his hands.

"I understand what you are thinking, so I'm going to behead the father and son of King Zhao in Dongshi to make an example for others, so that some people with bad intentions can see the end of treason."

Pang Yukun smiles. He seems to have no intention to say: "the emperor actually wants to show it to the prince of Chu. In addition, is the emperor really not ready to take back military power from King Yong? “
