After a short rest for a few days, Lu Yun and Zhao Yueyao set out on their journey to the Holy Empire.
On the one hand, I wanted to go there first to understand the situation. After all, the Presbyterian Church didn't know much information.
If we want to conquer the Holy Empire later, we will definitely need help from the two empires and they will need to send troops, but that is not necessary now.
As for the problem here, it has been resolved. The queen and the king have reached an agreement. If they betray the alliance and trip each other up,
If Lu Yun knew about this, he would never let the other party go.
The Queen must be very relieved, but Ma Shanda is a little worried. After all, this man is very ambitious, as can be seen from the fact that he became the king of the Malaysian Empire.
…
The Han Empire.
The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty had just sent an envoy to explain their sincerity to the Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty and to guarantee that they would have an impact on the Empress.
Their original intention was to use the Han Emperor to directly deal with Liang Jing.
But he left secretly, and not long after, the people lurking in the royal family in Xicheng immediately captured him and brought him back to Shangjing City.
At this time, in the imperial palace of Shangjing City.
While Liang Jing was handling state affairs, the commander of the Western Depot walked in and said, "Your Majesty, our men have captured a member of the royal family who was planning to leave for the Han Empire."
Hearing this, Liang Jing frowned, quite surprised, "Royal family? My supporters actually chose to betray me."
"Fortunately, I took precautions in advance, otherwise they would have succeeded this time."
"If the other party cooperates internally and externally, my situation will become very bad."
"Call Prime Minister Wang and General Shangguan here, and we'll discuss the specifics."
"Bring this member of the royal family to the main hall as well."
"good……"
After a while, the escaped member of the royal family came to the hall with a sad look on his face. As soon as he arrived, he knelt on the ground and crawled forward.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, I truly did not betray you. I truly had no intention of traveling to the Han Empire, and I had no intention of reporting you to the Weiyang Palace first."
Liang Jing certainly wouldn't believe this unreasonable excuse. He snorted coldly and said, "You didn't betray me?"
"Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"
"People from the royal family cannot leave easily. This is my rule. Don't you know?"
"I never thought that my clan members would choose to betray me. Is it because I am not doing a good job as an emperor?
You only think that I, a woman, am the emperor and you are uncomfortable with it, but have you ever considered how much the people of the Great Zhou recognize me?"
"Excuse me, your clan, there was a flood in our Great Zhou recently, and the food supply of many people was completely destroyed by this sudden disaster."
"Many people have become refugees and their houses have collapsed. Where are your clan members at this time?"
"Have you ever done anything good for the people of Da Zhou?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the member of the imperial clan shut up obediently. Indeed, as Liang Jing had said, the members of the imperial clan didn't care about anything else. They only thought that this female emperor would turn their Great Zhou clan into ruins.
Ultimately, it was because someone wanted to be emperor, but they just gave a high-sounding reason. If Liang Jing was really kicked out, a series of rebellions and infighting would occur within their royal family.
Everyone wants to be emperor, but there are so many people in the royal family, and who will be the emperor is a very worthy issue to discuss.
"Alright, get out of here. Considering you're a member of the royal family, I won't pursue this matter with you. Just reflect on your actions in prison."
"Remember, I have all sorts of spies planted around you. I know exactly what you are planning to do. I just don't want to get into it too much with you."
“…”
After a while, Prime Minister Wang and Shangguan Yun came into the hall together.
"Your Majesty."
"Okay, Prime Minister Wang, how is the flood disaster in southern Da Zhou being handled?"
"Your Majesty, we have already arranged for personnel to do their best to handle the situation. We will also do our best to ensure that the people have enough food to eat and do not starve. In addition, the court will also allocate funds so that these people can settle down as soon as possible."
"Alright! I can trust Prime Minister Wang in his work. You must supervise this matter carefully and make sure no accidents happen."
"Your Majesty, I will personally handle this matter, but the more important matter right now is the Han Emperor. They have already dispatched troops, targeting the State of Song, which is relatively close to Chang'an."
"I knew the Song State was a loser, but I didn't expect them to be so loser. They were destroyed in less than a month. It's really disappointing."
Liang Jing was also very helpless when he heard this. He sighed, "I didn't expect the Song Kingdom to be destroyed so quickly. We, the vassal states, didn't react in time."
"Logically speaking, if the Song State was a little stronger, it could have held out for at least two to three months.
When the other vassal states react, we can unite and help Song. Who knew they were so weak? "
Shangguan Yun, the general, also explained, "Your Majesty, the Han Emperor's intentions are clear. He simply wants to start with the smallest vassal states. He currently has no plans for our Great Zhou."
"If a war breaks out, Shu can also cooperate with us. After all, if our Great Zhou is gone, Shu will also become very dangerous."
"Besides, if anything happens to us, the Queen of the Grassland will choose to help us."
Liang Jing nodded gently, "That's indeed the truth. I understand it, of course."
"The Miao Kingdom is definitely helping the Han Emperor. Currently, the Miao Kingdom is the most rampant of the three southwestern kingdoms. Although they were defeated before, they should have regrouped now."
"What we are most worried about is the Miao Kingdom. Will they suddenly stab us in the back?"
Prime Minister Wang quickly explained, "Your Majesty, perhaps we can send envoys to unite with other vassal states and jointly resist the Han court."
Liang Jing shook his head. "It's not that simple. Once we send an envoy, the Han Emperor will try to stop us."
"It's difficult to bind the interests of our vassal states together. They will all perish one by one. We should accumulate more strength during this period."
“I just hope they can hold on a little longer!”
The logic behind this matter is very simple. Once they unite, whoever perishes first will be in trouble.
Whoever can hold on longer will be able to bring benefits to other vassal states, which is also a very difficult problem to solve.
The Han Empire had maintained this balance in the past, but now this balance was disrupted.
