Chapter 96 Baihuamen Intelligence
Zheng Yi didn't bother to say anything to the Wu Kingdom's special envoys.
Some people are just mean.
If you don't beat them to pain, you don't know what strength is.
Dayu has been on war for years, and domestic disasters have occurred frequently. In addition, the output of the arsenal cannot make up for the war consumption, and the supply line is too long.
There are rebels in Yongzhou and Shuzhou, and Nanzhao is invading again.
There are various signs that this battle cannot continue.
But even if they can't fight, they can't be detected by Wu Guo.
He also needs to look like he will continue to fight in order to obtain more benefits at the negotiation table.
After three to five years, the country's strength will gradually recover, and then we can go all out to conquer the Kingdom of Wu!
Zheng Yi said indifferently: "Kong Aiqing."
"I am here."
Kong Xiangsi, the Minister of Rites, walked out quickly and saluted respectfully.
"All matters concerning the negotiation with Wu State are left to you."
Zheng Yi ordered: "I only have three requests."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"First, Wu Guo ceded the two states of Manghuang."
Kong Xiang thought: "This is inevitable. How can we let go of the land occupied by the great lion of Yu so easily?"
"Second, Wu Guo will compensate one hundred thousand war horses, and they must be war horses!"
"No!"
"Third..."
Zheng Yi said word by word: "Wu Guo, hand over the descendants of the monks who attacked General Xu that day, and they will live!"
"If you don't agree, I will fight even with all my strength!"
Kong Xiangsi hesitated, but finally bowed and said: "My lord, I obey the order!"
The negotiations between Dayu and Wu State were successfully held, and Zheng Yi had completely left these matters to the Ministry of Rites.
As long as he can agree to his request, peace talks will be a success.
Baihua Palace.
Zhu Wanwan, Lin Qing'er, and Rong Miao'er sat opposite each other, their pretty faces full of weirdness.
"Are you pregnant?"
"You too?"
"Are you all pregnant?"
"What's going on?"
The three girls looked at each other in confusion, and finally Zhu Wanwan said: "Two junior sisters, have you not used the contraceptive pills issued by the sect?"
"We, as teachers, are not allowed to get pregnant without the order of the sect..."
Lin Qing'er raised her eyebrows and said: "I used it anyway, senior sister, I really don't know if you used it or not."
"I used it too!"
Rong Miaoer raised her hand and said: "If you don't believe me, you can check. I still have the power of the holy medicine left in my body..."
"Then what is the reason?"
Zhu Wanwan subconsciously stroked her belly, and a smile appeared on her delicate face.
"My child, I wish Wanwan actually have a child?"
"Kekeke..."
"Sister?"
"What senior sister?"
Zhu Wanwan asked back: "You want to call me Concubine Wan!"
"You..."
"Keke... I didn't expect that I am pregnant too?"
Zhu Wanwan smiled sweetly and said: "If I give birth to a prince, doesn't it mean that my son may also sit on the throne?"
As soon as they finished speaking, Lin Qing'er and Rong Miao'er's eyes lit up, and they subconsciously looked at their stomachs.
"Your Majesty only has five princesses. If we can really give birth to a prince..."
"My son sits on the throne, what about the master's orders?"
"Yes, that is the throne of Dayu!"
"I heard that Xu Mu's army captured the two states of Wu State, and the country of Dayu was stronger and stronger than other countries!"
"If our Baihuamen can gain His Majesty's support..."
The three women discussed in low voices, their eyes gradually becoming excited.
Then Rong Miaoer said: "Master sent a letter saying that she has arrived in the capital. Do you want to arrange for her to meet His Majesty?"
"Of course!"
Zhu Wanwan said: "The reason why Your Majesty values you and me, apart from our appearance and figure, the most important thing is the Baihua Gate behind us!"
"In other words, the brothel organizations all over the world are controlled by my Baihuamen."
"Giggle...His Majesty's Imperial Guards need information, and we need Dayu's support. Isn't this a matter of mutual consent~"
Zhu Wanwan added: "No matter what, who among the three of us can give birth to a prince, these might be theirs~"
"Two junior sisters, what do you think?"
Lin Qing'er and Rong Miao'er's eyes also lit up, and they immediately said: "Senior Sister will follow your lead in everything!"
"Kekeke..."
"Then let's go see the Master and arrange a meeting between him and His Majesty."
"No!"
"Are you the master of Baihua Sect?"
Bai Yujing.
"Hua Jingyuan, the master of Caomin Baihua Gate, has met His Majesty!"
Zheng Yi looked at the masked woman in front of him and said immediately: "Put on the veil."
Hua Jingyuan hesitated for a moment, and finally took off the scarf covering his head.
Zheng Yi looked around and saw that Hua Jingyuan looked about thirty years old, but he could not rule out being older.
Moreover, with Zheng Yi's eyesight, he could detect that the corners of this woman's eyes had crow's feet covered by rouge, and she was obviously quite old.
Even though she was a stunning beauty when she was young, in Zheng Yi's eyes, she was just a dying old man.
"I already know what you want. From now on, Baihuamen will be merged into the Dayu court, and I will give you Baihuamen the right to be independent."
Zheng Yidao: "The newly established department is called the 'Public Relations Department', which is independent of the six departments. It has similar responsibilities to Jinyiwei, but has several additional privileges."
"Public Relations Department?"
Hua Jingyuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Independent of the six departments? Doesn't that mean we are on the same level as the six departments?"
She originally thought that it would be enough to be incorporated into the Enshrinement Court or the Imperial Guards, but she didn't expect that she would actually get the same privilege as the Sixth Division!
"Equality but not equal rights."
Zheng Yi said: "After all, the Public Relations Department has just been established and has no political achievements to speak of. Moreover, your Public Relations Department cannot appear in the court. It is just a secret organization." "Its main task is to detect intelligence and monitor for me. The world is sending spies abroad at the same time to benefit my great Yu!”
"The common people know."
Hua Jingyuan said: "I, Baihuamen, will do my best for His Majesty."
"Very good, I will let Concubine Wan and the others discuss it with you as soon as the matter arises."
Zheng Yi said: "If there is nothing else..."
"Your Majesty!"
Hua Jingyuan suddenly said: "This is the first time we meet, Cao... I am willing to present a secret information for Your Majesty's identification."
"Oh? What information is it?"
"Your Majesty, be careful of Nanyue County."
After saying that, Hua Jingyuan bowed slightly and stepped back in small steps.
Be careful about Nanyue County?
What's the meaning?
Zheng Yi stared at Hua Jingyuan's retreating figure. Since the other party didn't explain it, it meant that the information was very secret and she couldn't be sure.
Or is this a test for me and Jin Yiwei?
"Nanyue County? Who is in Nanyue County?"
"Baiyue people?"
"Heiyue people?"
Zheng Yi's mind was spinning wildly: "There is a war in Nanyue County. The Nanzhao Kingdom and the Heiyue people are invading, and the Longxiang Army Xu Xuanwu is following the emperor's order to form the South Vietnam Military Region to resist..."
"South Vietnam Military District?"
"Xu Xuanwu?"
"Huh? Something's wrong."
Zheng Yi sounded suspicious, and after carefully calculating the time, he said: "Why has Nanyue County not had a confidential letter from the Jinyiwei for several months? According to regulations, Jinyiwei spies must report the investigation status to the capital every month."
"But the information from Nanyue County is reported every two months, sometimes even every three months?"
"Could it be said that something has changed in Nanyue County?"
"Xu Xuanwu?"
Zheng Yi frowned slightly.
This man was the younger brother of Concubine Duan Xu Qingluan and the son of General Xu Mujun, so he was so relieved to hand over the entire Nanyue County to him.
The entire Nanyue County, although politically speaking, is just a 'county'.
However, because its main ethnic group is the Nanyue ethnic group, it has an extremely large area and a large population, which is no smaller than some states in the Central Plains.
Even let him form the South Vietnam Military Region.
The entire Nanyue County ranks among the top three in all the states of Dayu in terms of sheer area.
If Nanyue County loses control, then the entire south of Dayu will be exposed to the eyes of careerists.
Could it be that this person was unable to solve the problem in Nanyue County and was trapped by the Black Yue people and the Nanzhao Kingdom?
Or...this person also has counter-intentions!
If Xu Xuanwu rebels, he will pay even more attention to Xu Mu's army who is attacking cities and territories in the two states of Manghuang in Wu Kingdom!
He thought for a few breaths and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Chen."
"Your Majesty, the old slave is here."
"You personally... no, send a few shadow guards to Nanyue County to check and see what happened to the Jin Yiwei there."
"If you have other information, report it quickly!"
"No!"
Mr. Chen whispered, and his whole figure disappeared into the darkness again.
Just when Zheng Yi sent the Shadow Guard to secretly investigate Nanyue County, time had already entered the sixth year of Zhengyong.
At the New Year's Eve banquet, Concubine Wan, Concubine Qing, and Concubine Miao of Baihua Palace were pregnant and unable to dance.
And the person performing the dance today is actually Concubine Qin of Cihang'an!
Concubine Qin's dance was elegant and dignified, almost like a fairy dancing. Her dance was as graceful as a startled dragon, which made the emperor very happy.
That night, the emperor stayed at Qingxia Palace and danced with Concubine Qin.

Qin Qingxuan is the strongest person in Cihang'an this year, and the "Cihang Sword Code" he has compiled is not only internal skills and mental skills, but also swordsmanship.
Its physique is also very special, which greatly benefits the way of swordsmanship.
Of course, she also has one of her famous tools, the flounder kiss, which makes Zheng Yi extremely addicted and makes her mouth smell good.
Unfortunately, she also has no spiritual roots and cannot cultivate!
The relationship between Zheng Yi and her as husband and wife only lasted thirty or fifty years.
In the sixth year of Zhengyong, it was the fifteenth day of the first month.
The negotiation between the Ministry of Rites and Wu Guo finally came to an end.
Under constant urging from the country and the approaching Xu Mujun army, Wu Guo had no choice but to hold his nose and sign the "Montenegro Treaty"!
The Treaty of Montenegro states that all mistakes in the three-year-long war between Yu and Wu that took place from the third year of Zhengyong to the present will be borne by Wu.
Wu Guo is the culprit of this war.
In addition to unconditional surrender, Wu Guo also needs to pay the following compensation for defeat.
First: recognize Dayu’s actual rule over the two Manghuang states and cede the two Manghuang states.
Second: Nanshun County, Julian County, and Nanmeng County at the junction of Manghuang and Mengzhou are places for trade and exchange. Wu State must ensure the safety of Dayu merchants and must not collect taxes!
Third: Compensation of fifty million taels of silver.
Fourth: Compensation for 100,000 war horses and 200,000 cattle and sheep will be paid to the Dayu garrison in three years.
Fifth: Escort a direct prince of the Wu Kingdom to Dayu as a hostage.
Sixth: The Kingdom of Wu needs to present hundreds of beautiful women, such as slaves in the palace of Dayu. This group of beautiful women must be selected from ten Wu Kingdom princesses, and the rest must also be the daughters of important ministers and generals of the Wu Kingdom.
Seventh: Wu State must hand over the person who seriously injured General Xu Mujun in the sneak attack that day and his family members, and must not harm or persecute him by any means to ensure his life safety.
Eighth:...
There were a variety of fifteen demands, and the Emperor Wu held his nose and acknowledged them, and signed the treaty.
The spies found out that after learning about the fifteen treaties, the old emperor of Wu State was so angry that he fell to the ground.
His dozen or so sons immediately gathered their troops and gathered around the imperial court of Wu Kingdom, waiting for the old emperor to die and compete for the emperor's position.
On the other hand, in Dayu, the whole country was jubilant.
Not only did they gain the land of the two states, but they also received a large amount of compensation.
Once the war horses are obtained, another 100,000 cavalry can be formed in a very short time.
Cattle and sheep are useless and can be used as food and wages, which can greatly enhance the strength of Dayu's border army.
The 50 million compensation was injected by Zheng Yi into the Yongzhou Grand Canal, the Jing'an Grand Canal, and several light industrial factories.
The Jing'an Grand Canal is a new major project established by Zheng Yi.
The artificial canal connecting Beijing and Lin'an is longer and larger than the Yongzhou Grand Canal Project!
With the remaining part of the compensation, Heishanguan began to be repaired, with the intention of rebuilding Heishanguan and once again becoming the most powerful pass in the world!
While the entire Da Yu was carrying out infrastructure construction in full swing, Shen Xing and Yang Shaoyong, who were far away in Nanyue County, looked at the eunuch in front of them strangely.
"What do you mean, father-in-law... you want to investigate Xu Xuanwu?"
