"But it's too late today. Tomorrow is the best time to meet with the Han Empire's envoys.
It was only after becoming the emperor that he discovered that there were really many things to do.
Although Zhuge Liang, a capable minister in governing the world, assisted him in managing the country. There were also two provincial governors, Lin Chengzi and Guan Zhong, who shared his worries.
But even so, he still has many things to consider every day.
For example, what should Zheng Zhilong do about his attitude towards the Ming Empire and the war in the Song Empire? Qin Ning has already contacted Xiang Yu. What is the result?
Anyway, Cheng Mu really has a lot of things to do now.
He can only be lazy after returning to the palace.
The second day.
The envoys from the Han Empire rushed over overnight.
The visitor is Zhang Qian, the famous envoy from the Western Regions in history. In this life, he never made another mission to the Western Regions.
Rather, as a diplomat, he came to the Apocalypse Empire in person.
"See Your Majesty."
Zhang Qian is in his thirties and dressed in commoner clothes. Although he is dusty, his brows are full of heroic spirit. He not only has the scholarly spirit of a scholar, but also the heroic spirit of a warrior.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Cheng Mu nodded and ordered his servants to give him a seat.
Being able to sit across from famous people throughout the ages is also one of his good fortunes.
Zhang Qian, an outstanding diplomat, traveler, explorer and pioneer of the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty, had countless auras in his life.
"Your Majesty, Qian has come this time to bring the most sincere greetings from our Emperor."
"My emperor also hopes to conclude a friendly alliance with your country."
He had no ink marks, but directly stated his purpose.
The Apocalypse Empire is just his first stop. Tomorrow, he would have to go to the Tang Empire to meet Li Shimin in person.
Military conquest and diplomacy are just strategies used by various countries at this stage.
There are no permanent enemies, and there are no permanent friends.
"Haha, this is not urgent."
Cheng Mu changed the subject: "I wonder how your Majesty is feeling now?"
He is also very interested in Liu Che.
??According to legend, there are many stories about Liu Che.
How wise and powerful he was when he was young, but how stupid he is when he is old. His biggest black spot is his reckless military use and the evil caused by witchcraft. But what is very interesting is that when he was old and issued an edict to sin against oneself.
The people of the country immediately forgave him.
So in terms of charm, Liu Che¡¯s personality charm is very powerful.
"Thank you for your concern, your majesty. My emperor is in good health. Just last month, my emperor and the Lord of Qin participated in the hunt together."
What Zhang Qian wants to reveal is that his Han Empire has a very good relationship with the Qin Empire. If you, the Apocalypse Empire, form an alliance with us, you will not lose but gain.
"Well, congratulations."
Cheng Mu nodded, and then said: "Envoy Zhang is here as a guest. We will discuss it in detail at the banquet."
Form an alliance with the Han Empire? At present, it is not very suitable.
¡°Does one want to form an alliance with the Qin, Han, Tang and Ming Dynasties? Who will we fight together? Just bully the Song Empire and the Jin and Sui Dynasties?
No, no, no, according to the speculations of Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia and others.
In the end, at least three alliance forces will be formed under the Chinese civilization.
The Apocalypse Empire and the Tang Empire.
The Qin Empire and the Sui Empire.
The Han Empire and the Jin Empire. Of course, Qin and Han's alliance goals may also change.
As for the Ming Dynasty.
For now, he should belong to the Tang camp. Of course, it is also very likely that Zhu Di will straighten his back again.
No one is afraid!
By then, there will be at least a melee between the four forces.
Qin and Han alliance? Cheng Mu thought it was impossible. What does it mean for Liu Che and Ying Zheng to hunt together?
¡°As far as the ambitions of the two of them are concerned, it is impossible for these two countries to be truly friendly.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain!
At the banquet.
In order to show the etiquette of the Apocalypse Empire, Cheng Mu personally entertained Zhang Qian.
And Zhang Qian also understood it, so he did not hide any insignificant information about his country.
This is also what it should be.
If two countries want to form an alliance, they must have a certain degree of understanding.
Your Han EmpireStrong, but where is the strength?
It was a pity for Zhang Qian that Cheng Mu did not directly agree to the alliance contract between the two countries at the banquet.
Everything has to come on a first-come, first-served basis.
The meeting with Zhu Di is scheduled ahead, so it¡¯s natural to see what Zhu Di means.
"In this case, Qian would like to congratulate Your Majesty on your good news."
The next day, Zhang Qian set out for the Tang Empire.
Although he didn¡¯t get a definite answer, he was not discouraged at all. When he set out, he had expected this result.
And he felt that the most important thing now was not the attitude of the Apocalypse Empire, but the attitude of the Tang Empire.
If the eldest brother, the Tang Empire, agrees to the alliance, then the younger brother, the Apocalypse Empire, should also agree.
So from the beginning, Zhang Qian¡¯s focus has always been on Li Shimin.
"interesting."
Looking at Zhang Qian¡¯s back as he hurried away, Cheng Mu smiled again.
How could he not understand Zhang Qian¡¯s thoughts?
On the surface, Tang Empire is indeed his big brother now. But later on, it¡¯s really hard to say who is older!
"We might as well just set up an arena and send our most elite soldiers to fight."
¡°The final winner wins everything!¡±
Zhang Wanlong is still as popular as ever.
In fact, what he said is not unreasonable. When countries fight with each other, the Chinese civilization will be damaged in the end.
Simply unite and form an alliance, and merge all countries into the most powerful country.
"It's a beautiful thought."
Cheng Mu said: "The current masters of the empires are all talented and strategic people."
"They all have the qualifications and strength to unify Chinese civilization!"
Ying Zheng, Liu Che, Li Shimin, Zhu Di, Zhao Kuangyi, Yang Jian.
These six emperors are all heroes. Until the last moment, no one knows who will have the last laugh.
Coupled with the Apocalypse Empire, which is the weakest on paper.
Before anything is finalized, everyone is a dark horse!
"Then fight!"
Zhang Wanlong is full of fighting spirit.
After seeing Zhao Yun become a half-step ghost and god, he can't wait to break through now.
?¡
Not long after, another news came.
Xiao He, here we are.
"Hahahaha, go and greet us!"
With the arrival of Xiao He, Cheng Mu was instantly delighted. I saw him personally coming out of the city to greet him, just because he wanted to see Prime Minister Xiao who was famous throughout the ages as soon as possible!
"See Your Majesty."
Seeing Cheng Mu arriving in person, Xiao He was also very aware of the current affairs and bowed politely.
??Actually, he also knows. The moment he becomes a prisoner, there is no possibility of his escape.
Unlike Chen Qingzhi who is fearless to die.
For Xiao He, he has tried his best for Liu Xiu. But now this life is his own.
Literary men should always be more sensible than military generals.
"Mr. Xiao, has this been a smooth journey? Are you feeling well?"
Cheng Mu directly pulled him up and asked with concern.
Xiao He's current attitude also made him very satisfied. At least it's much more satisfying than Zheng Chenggong.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The civilians are no longer in serious trouble."
Xiao He nodded, feeling a little flattered.
The more talented a person is, the more he wants to be valued.
"Come on, let's go in first. I have set up a dust-washing banquet for you, sir."
Cheng Mu nodded, pulled him and left. He wanted to personally pick up the wind and cleanse the dust for Xiao He.
In fact, everyone knows it now, even Xiao He himself understands it very well.
Cheng Mu hopes to recruit Xiao He under his command.
This is also related to a very big strategy of the Apocalypse Empire.
After recruiting Xiao He, he not only broke up the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty under Liu Che, but also found a suitable provincial governor for the New Kyushu Plan.
Not only would it satisfy Cheng Mu, but it would also enhance the strength of the Apocalypse Empire.
It can be said that killing four birds with one stone.
Make a lot of money, make a lot of money, make a lot of money. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
