Chapter 155: Xianbei Founds a Nation

On the Xianbei grassland!

The Murong clan fought north and south, and after several years of fighting, they completely unified the eastern grassland.

The ancestor of the Murong clan broke through the realm of martial saint. Under his suppression and support, the Murong clan established the Northern Yan Dynasty.

"The sky is the mirror, the sun and the moon are the witnesses. Today, I, the Murong clan, will unify the Xianbei tribes, fulfill the wishes of my ancestors, and officially establish a country named Northern Yan..."

As soon as the Northern Yan Dynasty was established, this news spread to Dali in an instant.

When the Dali Dynasty reacted to the Murong clan unifying the eastern grassland and establishing Northern Yan, it felt as uncomfortable as eating shit.

In the past, the Xianbei tribes in the northern grassland were not unified, and basically did not have much strength to move south.

The northern border of Dali was peaceful.

Now, the Murong clan unified the Xianbei grassland, established Northern Yan, unified the tribes, and consolidated their strength. They will inevitably become unprecedentedly powerful, and the north will no longer be peaceful.

"My dear ministers, tell me, how should Dali respond to the Xianbei Murong clan establishing Northern Yan?" Dali Emperor Zhao Qingwu asked the civil and military officials in the court.

In the face of Emperor Zhao Qingwu's question, the civil officials were silent.

Instead, a group of military generals shouted to fight and destroy Northern Yan.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to fight and overthrow Northern Yan. What a joke, a mere foreign race also wants to establish a country and be an enemy of Dali."

"Your Majesty, give me 300,000 troops and I will bring back the head of the Emperor of Northern Yan."

"Your Majesty, I only need 200,000 troops and I will beat Northern Yan to death."

Dali's military generals shouted to destroy Northern Yan.

It was really too boring to attend court in the capital, and they all wanted to go out and lead troops to fight.

"I'll give you what you can do. The grandfather of the Emperor of Northern Yan is a martial saint. Do you have the ability to fight against a martial saint?" A civil official couldn't stand it anymore and said.

"Old man, what did you say? Say it again if you dare." The generals looked at the civil official with fierce eyes, as if they were about to hit him.

Looking at the noisy civil officials and generals, the Dali Emperor Zhao Qingwu frowned.

"Enough!" Zhao Qingwu shouted, looking at the civil officials and generals below with a stern look.

In the Dali court, I don't know when, the tit-for-tat between the civil officials and generals suddenly arose, and the two sides fought back and forth.

"Jiang Chu, Zhang Yi, step out!"

Jiang Chu and Zhang Yi stood up happily, but they didn't expect that His Majesty would actually choose them.

"Your Majesty!"

"You two, each lead 100,000 troops to the north, assist General Huangfu, guard the northern border, and prevent the Northern Yan Xianbei from going south and disrupting our Dali border." Zhao Qingwu ordered immediately.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

......

Northern Yan!

The Murong family founded a country and became the second power on the grassland.

"Your Majesty, what are your instructions for me?" Jiao Qihuan greeted Murong Yunfei.

"My dear Jiao, I want you to lead the envoys to visit the Great Wei and make friends with the Great Wei." Murong Yunfei said.

"Visiting the Great Wei?!" Jiao Qihuan looked at Murong Yunfei.

The person who could sit on the throne of the first emperor of Northern Yan was indeed unique. By making friends with the Great Wei, Dali could be restrained invisibly.

"Yes, I want to establish friendly relations with the Great Wei. After all, the relationship between the Great Wei and Dali is not very good. There are wars between the two Central Plains countries from time to time. If we can make friends with the Great Wei, it may be much easier for us to go south to deal with Dali." Murong Yunfei said.

The Murong family learned about the founding of the Central Plains dynasty, and naturally learned a lot of Central Plains culture. Murong Yunfei also understood a truth: the enemy of the enemy is a friend.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will lead the envoys to visit the Great Wei and strive to establish friendly relations with the Great Wei." Jiao Qihuan said with a firm look.

Murong Yunfei sent envoys to the Wei Dynasty in an attempt to make peace with the Wei Dynasty.

When the envoys from the Northern Yan arrived in Luojing, the Wei Dynasty officials learned that the Xianbei had established a country. Some of them were surprised, and some were gloating.

The Wei Dynasty had been invaded by the Xiongnu for many years, which tied up too much of the Wei Dynasty's energy.

Now that the Northern Yan has been established, I think the days of the Dali in the northern border will not be easy.

"Your Majesty, the envoys from the Northern Yan want to establish friendly relations with our Wei Dynasty. How should this be handled?" The Minister of Rites Qian Cheng asked in the court.

"What do you think, my dear ministers?" The empress Han Jiangxue did not answer directly, but asked the court officials instead.

"Your Majesty, I think it should be rejected. The Northern Yan is just a foreign race. Whatever the Central Plains Dynasty is fighting, it is also the business of the Central Plains Dynasty. Why should we unite with foreign races?" The Secretary of the Central Secretariat Xie Buqi stood up and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Northern Yan is just a Xianbei tribe, they are conservative and barbaric. As the saying goes, those who are not of our race must have different hearts." Lu Keyuan, the official of the Censorate, also stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, Minister Xie and Lu are wrong. The establishment of the Northern Yan will inevitably cause disputes with Dali, but Dali and our Wei do not have a good relationship. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

We should establish friendly relations with the Northern Yan, and even use the Northern Yan to cause some trouble for the Xiongnu. After all, the relationship between the Xianbei tribe of the Northern Yan and the Xiongnu is not very good." Shi Lei, the right official of the Ministry of War, stood up and said.

"This is simply absurd. We, the great Wei, still need to establish diplomatic relations with the foreign tribes on the grassland."

"You are absurd, you old man, tell me, did you accept money from Dali to speak for Dali like this?"

In the court, the two factions quarreled. The left prime minister, the six ministers, the grand tutor, the Sima and other ministers watched the quarrel as if they were watching a play.

Han Jiangxue sat on the dragon chair, silently watching the ministers below quarreling fiercely.

Very good, this is what she wants. If the court officials are all one-sided and harmonious, she should be worried.

Seeing that the quarrel was not enough and was about to turn into a martial arts performance, Han Jiangxue quickly called a halt.

"Enough!"

Empress Han Jiangxue shouted softly, stopping the quarreling ministers.

If she didn't call a halt, the Chaotian Palace would become a battlefield.

"Let's discuss this matter later!" There was no result, so Empress Han Jiangxue called a halt and put the matter on hold.

Anyway, whether to establish diplomatic relations with Beiyan is not a matter of a moment.

"But there are still important matters to report!" Han Jiangxue's phoenix eyes swept across the faces of the court officials. Now she finally understood how hard her father, Emperor Ming, was when he was in power.

Not only do you have to fight with the court officials, but you also have to check and balance the court officials and use them for your own benefit.

She still needs to continue to learn the art of imperial balancing.

"Your Majesty, the governor of Jingzhou reported that there are suspected traces of the White Lotus Sect in Jingzhou." A court official stood up to report.

"White Lotus Sect?" Han Jiangxue's eyebrows widened a little.

Recently, the activities of the Demon Sect have become more and more frequent.

"Order, the Xuanyi Guard and the Demon Slayer Department will jointly conduct a thorough investigation. Once the demons of the Demon Sect are found, they will be completely wiped out." Han Jiangxue ordered immediately.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The commander of the Xuanyi Guard Zuo Qianqiu and the head of the Demon Slayer Department Zhengfeng Yinlie stood up and clasped their fists to receive the order.

The foreign tribes at the border kept invading, and the wars continued. There were also disloyal people in the country who joined the Demon Sect to make trouble.

The Great Wei was not stable, and she, as the empress, was not very stable.

"Left Prime Minister, stay, everyone else, let's adjourn the court!"

After adjourning the court, Han Jiangxue returned to the Zhenghe Hall.

"Master Fu, what do you think, should my Great Wei establish friendly relations with Beiyan?" Han Jiangxue asked.

Left Prime Minister Fu Xiangru bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate for our Great Wei to make peace with Northern Yan for the time being."

"Why?!"

"After all, Northern Yan is a foreign race. Once we openly make peace with Northern Yan, Dali and Dachu will definitely attack our Great Wei. Dali may even start a war again on the border. What our Great Wei needs now is stability." Left Prime Minister Fu Xiangru gave his own opinion.

Now, Dali and Dachu are both hostile to the Great Wei, while the Miao in the south is constantly making trouble, and the north is still fighting fiercely with the Xiongnu.

It is not appropriate for the Great Wei to fight with Dali again.

Han Jiangxue nodded. Although she also wanted to make peace with Northern Yan and jointly deal with Dali, after all, Northern Yan is a foreign race.

Once the Great Wei colluded with foreign races, this matter would be spread and affect the reputation of the Great Wei.

Dali and Dachu would definitely seize this matter and constantly slander the legitimacy of the Great Wei Dynasty, making the people of the Great Wei alienated from the Great Wei.

"I know about this matter, let's put it aside for now." Han Jiangxue said.

"Your Majesty, do you have anything else to do? If not, I will take my leave." Seeing that the empress Han Jiangxue had given up the idea, Fu Xiangru said goodbye.

After the court session, he had to go home to hug his grandson.

His youngest son gave him a big fat grandson, which made Fu Xiangru very happy.

"Master Fu, please go back and rest." Han Jiangxue nodded.

"I will take my leave!"

After the left prime minister left, Han Jiangxue was silent for a while, and then continued to deal with the memorials.
