Chapter 162: Proposal
"Heart-Destroying Palm", "Five Yuan Secret Records", "Xuanxin Breathing Method", "Wandering Dragon Body Method", "Brahma God Technique"...
Sheng Huaian did not choose, but read one after another.
Whether it was practicing breathing techniques or martial arts attacking techniques, he never let them go. It could be said that he would not refuse anyone who came.
After reading the low-level cultivation techniques and martial arts secrets on the second floor, Sheng Huaian went to the third floor and continued to read, also not letting go of any of them.
The martial arts secrets on the third floor are better than those on the second floor, but not many. They are all ordinary martial arts secrets.
It wasn't until the fourth floor that there were a few common secrets that could be used to cultivate innate skills.
The fifth and sixth floors record martial arts secrets and mental techniques of the innate realm.
On the seventh floor, there are fewer books. This floor contains the techniques of the master level.
On the eighth level, there are even fewer books, only a few hundred martial arts secrets, but they are all martial arts techniques at the grand master level.
Sheng Huaian stayed in the royal arsenal for three days.
He spent three days, without stopping for a moment, reading all the books inside.
He read through tens of thousands of books, except for the ninth floor, which he did not go up to.
I think the ninth floor should be the ancestral cultivation method of the Wei royal family. It is a core secret. People who are not the Han family of the royal family are not allowed to enter.
What Sheng Huaian didn't know was that on the ninth floor, an old figure was sitting cross-legged, and he had been paying attention to him since he entered.
In three days, Sheng Huaian read all the books on the second to eighth floors before he went downstairs and walked out of the royal arsenal.
At the same time, all the techniques in the Wei royal arsenal were also captured by the golden light curtain.
Walking out of the arsenal, Sheng Huaian stopped a palace maid.
"My lord, what are your orders?" The palace maid bowed and bowed.
"I'm looking for Han Yanran. Go and help me call her over." Sheng Huaian said directly.
"Yes, sir!"
The maid went to call Han Yanran, but Sheng Huaian just stood there without moving.
After all, this is the palace, and there are many nobles in the harem. He doesn't want to spread bad scandals.
Not long after, Han Yanran came.
"General, can you find the martial arts classics you like?" Han Yanran asked with a sweet smile.
"Um!"
Sheng Huaian nodded. Although those techniques were not as good as the Great Sun Heart Sutra that he practiced, many of them had their own merits.
Reading more martial arts classics will also have many benefits for his martial arts cultivation.
"General Sheng, Your Majesty has invited me. She has something to ask General Sheng for advice," Han Yanran said.
"Oh! What's going on?!" Sheng Huaian was a little confused.
He is not talented in handling government affairs. Could it be a matter of cultivation? !
This is not right. If it was a matter of cultivation, Han Jiangxue should have invited the patriarch of the royal family.
Han Yanran didn't answer, but just led the way.
"General Sheng has been in the arsenal for the past three days. Many people in the entire capital have been inquiring about the general," Han Yanran said.
After Sheng Huaian met the empress, gossip spread among the powerful in the capital that he would be granted a title of marquis, and many people wanted to have a relationship with Sheng Huaian.
"Why are you asking for information about me?"
"General Sheng is a man of great influence now, and many powerful people want to marry their daughters to General Sheng." Han Yanran said with a smile.
"..."
Is there such a good thing?
"They all want to be the wife of the Hou Mansion, right?" Sheng Huaian said with a smile.
"General, you are so funny!" Han Yanran was amused by Sheng Huaian.
Many aristocratic families do have this idea. A marquis has an extremely noble status in the Wei Dynasty.
He is the top noble of the Wei Dynasty, and many aristocratic families will find ways to marry him.
Sheng Huaian had to be in the palace during these three days, otherwise the threshold of Honglu Temple where Sheng Huaian was located would have been broken through by those officials.
Who wouldn’t want to make friends with a rising star?
"By the way, don't you think about it, General Sheng? But there are many daughters of ministers who are very beautiful." Han Yanran said jokingly.
"Really? How beautiful is Miss Yanran!" Sheng Huaian looked at Han Yanran with a smile.
"General, are you making fun of Yanran?" Han Yanran smiled.
"I don't. There are not many people in this world who are more beautiful than Miss Yanran." Sheng Huaian praised.
Being able to become the personal maid of the empress Han Jiangxue, her appearance is also flawless, and she is one of a kind.
Han Yanran's face turned slightly red after being praised by Sheng Huaian.
"How about comparing with Fairy Qin Yao?" Han Yanran suddenly asked.
Sheng Huaian was suddenly startled, then smiled and said, "Of course Miss Yanran is more beautiful."
On this kind of issue, how could Sheng Huaian make the mistake of being a straight man? Although he was not a scumbag in his previous life, he still knew some quotes from scumbags.
"I don't believe it!" Han Yanran said she didn't believe it.
But my heart was already filled with joy and I couldn't be happier.
The two of them came to Zhenghe Hall chatting and laughing. Sheng Huaian didn't know why the empress wanted him.
"Your Majesty, General Sheng has arrived." Han Yanran said softly.
"Okay, you go down first."
The empress Han Jiangxue is dressed in a red dragon robe and has a phoenix hairpin on her head, and her temperament is unparalleled in the world.
If you want to describe it, Sheng Huai'an would say: The pink and white in the Sixth Palace are colorless, and when you look back, you smile and be charming.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Han Yanran resigned.
Sheng Huaian clasped his fists and bowed: "I wonder why your Majesty is looking for me?"
"General Sheng, you are in the northern border and know a lot about the foreign tribes on the grassland. I have something to ask you." Han Jiangxue said.
"Your Majesty, please tell me. If I can help your Majesty, I will tell you everything I know." Sheng Huaian said.
"The Xianbei Murong clan established the Northern Yan Kingdom. Now the Northern Yan sent envoys to our Great Wei and wants to make friends with our Great Wei. What choice do you think we should make?"
Obviously, Han Jiangxue still wants to make friends with the Northern Yan to suppress and contain Dali.
Han Jiangxue has never forgotten the insult that Dali gave to the Great Wei a hundred years ago.
"I think we should not establish diplomatic relations with the Northern Yan. The foreign tribes are all ambitious. Our Great Wei is the Central Plains Dynasty. If we make friends with the foreign tribes of the Northern Yan, we will be criticized by the people of the world."
Hearing Sheng Huaian's words, Han Jiangxue was a little disappointed. This was similar to what the left prime minister said.
"But, not being friendly does not mean that we cannot do business with Beiyan." Sheng Huaian said again.
"Oh, what do you mean?" The empress's eyebrows relaxed instantly.
"On the surface, we don't have good relations with Beiyan, but secretly, we can do business with Beiyan.
The grassland foreigners are scarce in grain, salt, iron, and tea, and Dali will definitely prohibit the sale of salt, iron, and grain to Beiyan to prevent Beiyan from becoming stronger."
"In this way, we can secretly sell salt, iron, grain, and tea to Beiyan at several times the price in exchange for silver or the materials we need."
"In this way, we can make money continuously to develop the military and strengthen the national strength, and make Beiyan controllably strong and cause trouble for Dali."
Sheng Huaian's words made Han Jiangxue's eyes brighten.
Relatively speaking, Sheng Huaian's thinking is different from that of the Confucianists in the Central Plains.
The Central Plains advocate that those who are not of our race must have different hearts, and we cannot interact with foreign races.
Just like the Wei Dynasty and the Xiongnu, even commercial trade was not allowed between the two sides.
The Xiongnu, who were short of supplies, would inevitably ride south every year to rob supplies.
This is also the reason why there have been continuous wars in the border areas.
There is a shortage of salt and iron in the grassland, and tea is also lacking. However, the nomadic people in the grassland eat a lot of meat, and without tea, they will suffer from indigestion.
In order to obtain these supplies, they can only start a war.
"Is this plan of General Sheng safe?" Han Jiangxue was moved.
Since it is impossible to make friends with Beiyan openly, then do it privately.
"It is safe. If it is discovered, I will never admit it and push the commercial transaction to private businesses." Sheng Huaian said directly.
The aristocratic families and private businesses have always smuggled and smuggled supplies to the foreign races in the grassland.
In the face of absolute huge profits, merchants dare to tie their heads on their waists.
"Good, General Sheng has awakened me and solved a headache for me. If it doesn't work openly, I will turn to the dark." Han Jiangxue said with a happy smile.
As an emperor, the first thing to consider is the interests of the country as a whole. If one plan doesn't work, try another one. As long as it can make things difficult for Dali, Han Jiangxue is happy to do it.
Moreover, Sheng Huaian's method can continue to earn money. With enough money, she can strengthen her army and fight Dali and Dachu.
Who doesn't have a heart to unify the Central Plains? !
