Chapter 138 Changes in major dynasties

When Situ Ce came to the palace, he said a few words to Lu Chen, and then left directly without staying too much in the North Palace.

Lu Chen had some doubts that Situ Ce's visit to Beijun was not just to bring him a message. He had seen Situ Ce's information before and it said that Situ Ce's purpose of this trip was to test him.

How could you find out his true identity by just asking a few questions?

Situ Ce might have been in Beijun a long time ago, but he didn't know it, so he immediately called Bai Qingqing to the courtyard.

Bai Qingqing is the deputy commander of the Shadow Guards. After she returns to Yancheng, she will definitely receive information from other Shadow Guards. If she asks her, she will probably know how long it has been since Situ Ce came to Beijun.

After a while, Bai Qingqing came to the courtyard. After entering the courtyard, Bai Qingqing saluted and said, "I have seen the prince."

Lu Chen directly grabbed Bai Qingqing's jade hand. He helped her up and said, "Xiao Bai, do you know how long it has been since the Imperial Master has been in Beijun?"

Bai Qingqing replied expressionlessly: "About half a month."

Hearing this, Lu Chen thought that, as he thought, Situ Ce had come to Beijun a long time ago.

But this can't be blamed on Situ Ce, after all, he has been running to the northern grasslands to negotiate with the Sirius King tribe for more than half a month.

Lu Chen continued to ask at this time: "When he comes to Yancheng, he should also bring you a new task."

Having said this, Lu Chen put his arms around Bai Qingqing's waist, stood behind her, and moved his claws around Bai Qingqing's body.

Being hugged by Lu Chen like this, Bai Qingqing's body couldn't help but tremble, and a red cloud appeared on her cold face.

"The Imperial Master asked the slave to investigate the evidence that the Eighth Prince and the aristocratic family colluded with the barbarians, and then send the collected evidence back to the capital."

Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled slightly. It was exactly what he thought. After the threat from the barbarians in the north was over, his father was ready to take action against the aristocratic family.

Once the evidence of collusion between those aristocratic families and the barbarians is obtained, it is very likely that his father will use this as an excuse to directly clean up the aristocratic families' influence in the court.

Situ Ce also hinted to himself just now. Situ Ce's intention is very obvious, that is, he hopes that he will not rebel when Emperor Xia cleans up the family. In the future, that position will most likely belong to him, so Situ Ce reminds himself that cleaning up the family will also be good for him. .

In fact, Situ Ce didn't need to remind him of this matter at all, and Lu Chen had no intention of rebelling while Emperor Xia was dealing with the family.

Times make heroes. Although there are undercurrents surging in Daxia, it has not yet completely become chaotic. If he rebels at this time, he will be seeking death.

And Lu Chen is not a fool. Lu Chen hopes that Emperor Xia will clean up the aristocratic family quickly. If the aristocratic family does not clean up, when he takes control of the entire Great Xia one day, it will definitely be a mess again.

In fact, every dynasty will give birth to some powerful families, but many aristocratic families in Daxia are not ordinary families. These families control the court and a large amount of resources in Daxia. It can even be said that they control the lifeblood of Daxia.

This kind of aristocratic family is no longer comparable to those newly born big families.

The families that Emperor Xia wants to eliminate are those that control the court and have nothing to do with some of the emerging big families. On the contrary, Emperor Xia will not only not suppress those emerging big families, but will also support them and let them flourish. The court became a force against the old family.

After Lu Chen pondered for a moment, he decided not to think about the capital for the time being and to build up Beijun first.

Now that there are 100,000 barbarian captives and the method of making cement, the construction of the straight road in Beijun can begin.

At this moment, a maid came to the courtyard and said, "Your Majesty, the two ladies have finished washing."

Hearing this, Lu Chen came to his senses. The two ladies pointed out by the maid were naturally Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao who had just entered the North Prince's Mansion.

Lu Chen then let go of Bai Qingqing, and then patted her butt again, "Xiao Bai, go and do your business."

Bai Qingqing suddenly felt ashamed. She couldn't understand why Lu Chen always liked to touch her buttocks.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Bai Qingqing finished speaking, she left quickly.

At this time, Lu Chen said to the maid who reported: "Which courtyard are the two ladies in? Take me there."

The maid immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please come with your servant."

Immediately afterwards, the maid took Lu Chen to the courtyard of Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao.

Both of their rooms were in a courtyard. The courtyard was not big, with just two rooms. Next door was the courtyard where Wang Qingci lived.

At this time, Wang Qingci was sitting on the courtyard wall, looking unscrupulously at the two barbarian beauties brought back by Lu Chen.

At this time, a man's figure appeared in the courtyard of Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao, and they quickly stood up from the stone bench in the pavilion.

"I've met the prince."

Seeing the latest outfits of Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao, Lu Chen was slightly in a trance.

They are now all dressed in Daxia clothes, and have been carefully dressed up by the maids. They are already very different from before.

Yelu Nanyan wears a long gauze dress embellished with lotus flowers and a belt tied around her waist, which perfectly reflects her plump and plump figure. Under the gauze, it is close to the skin, looming because the gauze is tightly attached to the body. The round buttocks are also more obvious, and the whole beautiful woman is full of charm, graceful and luxurious.

Lu Chen took another look at Xiao Wenyao. Xiao Wenyao was wearing a white dress underneath and dark green clothes outside. Her black and shiny hair was draped around her waist, with a hairpin on her head. She looked just like Da Xia. The purdah lady is no different.

Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao stood together, just like a mother and her daughter.

After coming back to his senses, Lu Chen smiled slightly and then said: "I didn't expect you two to become even more beautiful after dressing up. It seems that I am very beautiful."

Hearing this, both Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao blushed.

This was the first time that they dressed up exactly like Da Xia, and they did not expect that they would become even more beautiful after putting on Da Xia's clothes.

When they were looking at the bronze mirror just now, they were also stunned by their own beauty for the first time.

In the past, they would put fur coats on their bodies, covering themselves tightly, and occasionally wearing fur hats on their heads, which could not show off their figure and beauty at all.

At this time, Wang Qingci, who was sitting on the wall of the courtyard nearby, said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for gaining two more beauties!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen turned to look at Wang Qingci sitting on the wall of the courtyard, and then said: "Master Wang is not busy taking care of the affairs of Tingyu Tower. Why come here to watch the excitement?"

Wang Qingci looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, "The prince is so cruel, and I am so scared."

"Didn't the slave family hear that the prince has taken in two female slaves, so he wanted to come and see what the sisters in the slave family look like."

Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao were a little surprised when they heard the conversation between Wang Qingci and Lu Chen.

This woman in red sitting uninhibitedly on the courtyard wall is actually the slave girl of the Northern King?

Are all the female slaves in Beiwang Mansion so brave? How dare they talk to their master, Beiwang, like this?

Xiao Wenyao thought of the slaves she had in the royal court before. If any slave dared to talk to her like this, other slaves would beat the slave who talked to her like this half to death without waiting for her to take action.

At this time, Wang Qingci glanced at Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao, and continued with a smile: "It seems that the prince has always remembered what the slave family said about the beauty of the barbarian royal court."

When Lu Chen first came to Beijun, Lu Chen once asked if there were any beautiful women in Beijun. At that time, Wang Qingci told Lu Chen that there were beautiful women in the barbarian royal court.

At that time, Wang Qingci was the owner of Baihua Tower and the saint of Yanyu Pavilion. A large amount of information passed through her hands every day, so she had some understanding of the situation in the Barbarian Royal Court and knew that the Princess of the Sirius King was particularly beautiful.

When they met today, Wang Qingci was also surprised by Yelu Nanyan's appearance. She felt that she could not compare with Yelu Nanyan at all.

She did not have the charm of a mature woman in Yelu Nanyan, and she knew very well that Lu Chen liked beautiful women like Yelu Nanyan and Chu Yuqin.

Every time Chu Yuqin was mentioned in front of Lu Chen, Lu Chen became as fierce as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood.

Wang Qingci jumped down from the courtyard wall at this time, and her light body slowly landed on the ground. She then came to Lu Chen and said in his ear: "My lord, I wonder if Jin Yiwei has any news about Dayue Dynasty. Recently, Dayue There are some changes in the dynasty.”

Wang Qingci came here naturally not to chat with Lu Chen. She is now the owner of Tingyu Tower and is responsible for collecting information about major dynasties and countries for Lu Chen. How can she have time to come here to chat with Lu Chen about women? .

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard Wang Qingci's words.

At present, most of the Jinyiwei are distributed in the Daxia Dynasty, and there are not many people from other dynasties. He really has not heard of any changes in the Dayue Dynasty.

The Dayue Dynasty is next to Beijun, in the southwest corner. Although the Dayue Dynasty is a newly established dynasty, it is relatively poor, and its strength is not very good, but it is a neighbor of Beijun, and Lu Chen is bound to control them. of trends.

Lu Chen had been dealing with matters in Beijun recently and had hardly paid attention to the Dayue Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Tingyu Tower had penetrated into the Dayue Dynasty not long after its establishment. Wang Qingci's efficiency was quite high.

Lu Chen then asked: "I haven't sent the Jinyi Guards to Dayue Dynasty yet. If there is any change, just tell me directly."

Wang Qingci said: "The Dayue Dynasty has been deploying troops for half a month. Now it has stationed 200,000 troops at the junction of Daxia and Beijun."

Hearing this, Lu Chen laughed, and then he said: "Is it possible that the Dayue Dynasty thinks that this king wants to attack them?"

Lu Chen did not think that the Dayue Dynasty was going to invade Daxia at this time. The 300,000 barbarian army was destroyed by Beijun. As a newly established dynasty, the Dayue Dynasty did not have the courage to suddenly send troops to Daxia.

The Dayue Dynasty's approach was most likely to protect Beijun.

Suddenly a huge monster appeared to their north, and it was impossible for them not to be worried at all.

Not to mention the Dayue Dynasty stationed 200,000 troops, even the vassal kings within Daxia stationed troops in the area bordering them in Beijun.

For example, King Qi, the 5,000 heavy cavalry sent by Lu Chen to pick up Mu Zixuan and others had just left Anping City more than a month ago. After King Qi got the news, he transferred all the 50,000 troops in the fief to the north overnight.

The 50,000 troops did not take any action. They were just staying opposite Anping City, monitoring Beijun.

Obviously, the appearance of 50,000 heavy cavalry shocked all the dynasties, especially the forces around Beijun. They were all afraid that Lu Chen would suddenly send troops to attack them, so they quickly mobilized their troops north to guard Beijun.

Seeing that Lu Chen seemed disapproving, Wang Qingci said: "Your Majesty, the slave family believes that Dayue's move of troops to the north is not just to defend Beijun."

Hearing Wang Qingci's words, Lu Chen was stunned for a moment. In his opinion, once Beijun's 50,000 heavy cavalry came out, no surrounding forces would dare to cause trouble for him.

If the Dayue Dynasty sent troops northward not to defend Beijun, then what was their purpose?

Is it possible that they really want to come and attack Beijun?

Lu Chen then said: "Tell me what you think."

Wang Qingci immediately said: "As far as the Nu family knows, not only Dayue is mobilizing troops, but several other major dynasties are also secretly mobilizing troops, and all of them have stationed troops near the border with Daxia."

"So the Nu family believes that the Dayue Dynasty is unlikely to mobilize troops just to guard against Beijun. It is more like the several dynasties have reached some kind of tacit agreement and are preparing to mobilize troops against Daxia."

Lu Chen fell into deep thought. He had been paying attention to what was happening in Daxia. He had almost no news about the troop deployments of several major dynasties.

It's also possible that I went to the Northland in the past half month and all the information was piled up in my study.

But having said that, this just tested Tingyulou's ability to collect intelligence.

At this time, Wang Qingci continued: "After the 50,000 heavy cavalry from Beijun came out, several major dynasties probably thought that these heavy cavalry belonged to your majesty. Together with the original heavy cavalry of the imperial court, Daxia now has close to 80,000 heavy cavalry. He has heavy cavalry, which may make other dynasties mistakenly believe that His Majesty has ambitions for external expansion."

Lu Chen thought for a while and thought that Wang Qingci was right. Although these 50,000 heavy cavalry were the survivors of Dayu summoned by him through the system, others did not know these things.

What other dynasties saw was that the entire Great Xia had close to 80,000 heavy cavalry.

Daxia suddenly added 50,000 heavy cavalry. What is this for? It seems self-evident.

Originally the major dynasties were evenly matched, but suddenly one day one of the dynasties began to vigorously expand its army, and without the other dynasties being aware of it, others would only think that you were preparing to start a war.

In this way, all the major dynasties will have a tacit understanding to deal with the strongest one first.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen showed a smile, and then said to Wang Qingci: "Master Wang has done a good job in intelligence work. I will continue to work hard in the future and pay more attention to the trends of the major dynasties."

Wang Qingci immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Having said this, Wang Qingci lightly jumped directly onto the courtyard wall, "Your Majesty, if nothing happens, I will leave first."

Lu Chen said: "Yeah, okay."

Then Wang Qingci's figure quickly disappeared.

At this time, Lu Chen came back to his senses and looked at Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao.

At this time, Yelu Nanyan said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Your Majesty, I want to see our barbarian soldiers. Is it okay?"

Lu Chen said: "No problem, come with me."

Lu Chen originally planned to take Yelu Nanyan and Xiao Wenyao to meet the barbarian soldiers, so that they could completely calm down and prevent them from having some inappropriate thoughts.
