The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 493 All nations come to court
In addition, they felt more at ease. This heavenly king's subjects all respected him immensely and praised his benevolence, so he must not be an unreasonable person.

Just be reasonable. As long as you are reasonable, everyone has come from afar, respectfully paid homage, and bowed their heads in submission. They are all so well behaved, so you won't destroy them, right?
When Ran Hong met the leaders of various countries, he shook his head in his heart. These barbarians were all strange in appearance, dressed in shabby clothes, and their clothes were rough. There were not many who were pleasing to the eye. Only a few of them were dressed decently and neatly.

However, the high priest of Loulan and the saint of Jingjue are quite elegant. It is not easy for such beauties to grow in the desert.

Although Ran Hong felt that many of these people were ugly, he was very satisfied with their respectful attitude. Although their manners were stiff, they were still standard and it was obvious that they were serious.

Just know how to be respectful, the king will like it, and the planned things will be easy to do, it will be perfect.

When Ran Hong met with these people, his attitude was quite kind, and he comforted the people of the Western Regions and expressed his goodwill. After all, the majesty was enough, and it was time to show the magnanimity of the etiquette state.

Ran Hong said that Dayuezhi had always been disrespectful to Daqin, so they deserved to die. The destruction of Dayuezhi was a worthy death.

But Daqin is not warlike and does not want to go to war. Daqin is a country of etiquette and a benevolent empire. As long as you serve Daqin respectfully, Daqin will not only not go to war, but will also protect other countries.

This also completely reassured the countries in the Western Regions.

Okay, that's good, as long as you don't want to do anything.

They really didn't doubt this matter. After all, they had seen the prosperity of Daqin along the way, and there was really no need for Daqin to snatch their own little things.

What's the point of trying to steal your little things from thousands of miles away?

The Great Yuezhi are seeking death, and they are also a threat to the Qin Dynasty. However, we are not a threat to the Qin Dynasty at all. As long as we treat them with respect, we will not be destroyed. The loss will outweigh the gain.

Similarly, Ran Hong also expressed his grand idea of ​​wanting to trade with the countries in the Western Regions, as well as to trade further west and build the Western Regions into a trading area.

At this moment, several big countries in the Western Regions were extremely happy. This was an opportunity for development!

The Qin Dynasty was so prosperous and its civilization was so advanced that its countless commodities were what everyone dreamed of. The countries in the Western Regions naturally knew about it, and there were other countries further west.

Now that the Qin Dynasty wants to trade with everyone, the Western Regions must be the hub.

These people are not stupid, they are all top-notch smart people. They can naturally see the endless benefits contained in this business opportunity. Being able to cooperate with Daqin, they are destined to become prosperous!

Especially Nahmara, the high priestess of Loulan, she was even happier, because now she understood the attitude and purpose of the Qin Dynasty, the crisis had been resolved, and there was even more good news.

Loulan is the first stop for the Qin Dynasty to move westwards, and also the last stop for other regions that want to trade with the Qin Dynasty. What does this mean?
This means that as long as Loulan does not commit suicide and as long as it can get the protection of the Qin Dynasty and rely on the Qin Dynasty, it will have good days in the future.

But some small countries are both happy and worried.

The good news is that this is indeed an opportunity, but the worry is that in such a good opportunity, there may be no chance for small countries.

Originally, the Western Regions were being annexed by each other. Previously, the Western Regions were poor, sparsely populated, and there was not much motivation, so there was only room for some small countries to survive.

But now the benefits of this road to wealth are too great. In order to gain more benefits, several big countries are certainly unwilling to share it with others, and they must want to take more. In this way, dividing and annexing small countries has become an inevitable choice.

What these many small countries thought was absolutely correct. In a certain timeline, more than a hundred years later, there were only more than twenty countries left in the Western Regions. With the development of the Silk Road, there was less and less room for small countries to survive.

Ran Hong could clearly see what many people were thinking, and he was satisfied. It was certainly useful to reveal this information in advance.

Finally, Ran Hong informed them of the specific time to enter the palace for an audience, and once again emphasized the majesty of the Qin Dynasty and the importance of etiquette. There must be no mistakes when meeting the king, and no one was unconcerned about this matter.

Even though this official seems so amiable and friendly now, they have already witnessed the majesty of this powerful empire.

Moreover, this gentleman just said that the Dayuezhi were destroyed because they offended the Qin Dynasty, but no one knows how they offended the Qin Dynasty.

But if you are disrespectful to that great Heavenly King, it would definitely be an offense!
It is an absolute way to death.

No one dares not to take this matter seriously.

Regardless of anticipation or fear, willingness or unwillingness, in the end, everyone entered the palace with infinite tension and uneasiness in their hearts.

It can't be majestic without being majestic.

Without great authority, one cannot govern people.

When a tiger roars in the mountains, all the beasts flee. This is the same principle.

The Qin Empire welcomed the leaders of the Western Regions with grand ceremony, fully demonstrating the strength and majesty of this powerful empire.

The majestic guards in full armor, holding spears and swords, stood in two rows, one every five steps, in neat rows in the corridor, from the palace gate to Zhangtai Palace. The solemn and murderous atmosphere was suffocating.

In addition, many masters wantonly exuded a terrifying aura, which made many people from the Western Regions who possessed secret skills and had cultivated themselves feel terrified.

A real dragon cannot be raised in a shallow pond. In the small Western Regions, life is difficult and resources are scarce. There are only so many people in total. Even if some of them have some strange skills, how can they compare with the real masters of the Qin Dynasty?

In this extremely majestic palace, facing the extremely solemn atmosphere, every step forward requires great courage. The people who enter the palace are naturally the leaders of the envoys from various countries. The ministers and followers they bring are naturally not allowed to enter the palace to pay homage, as they are not worthy.

Regardless of their size, they were all leaders of a group. But even so, there were still a few people who were so frightened that their hands and feet were weak and they could hardly move forward. They had to be supported and carried by the people around them to barely move forward.

When everyone arrived in front of Zhangtai Palace, looking at the stairs that stretched as far as the eye could see, they were either sweating profusely or looking pale.

Everyone climbed up onto the platform, already trembling.

When everyone entered the hall, they lowered their hands respectfully and cautiously. All the ministers in the court were extraordinary in bearing, dignified and solemn, dressed gorgeously and solemnly, looking at this group of people from a small foreign country.

The people from the Western Regions were being stared at by so many sharp eyes, and they became even more nervous. Their movements were reserved and they were even more cautious and respectful. They didn't even dare to look left and right or around, and they didn't even dare to turn their heads slightly.

They all paid their respects respectfully, rather awkwardly.

"I, a humble foreign minister, pay my respects to the great king. May the king be blessed with good health and long live the king!"

They shouted three times in succession, showing utmost respect and prostrating themselves on the ground.

Regardless of whether one can speak Qin language or not, even if one has a strange accent and it is difficult to pronounce, people now speak Qin language during greetings. Although it is not very standard, it is still pretty good.

Ying Zheng said calmly: "Stand up."

The translator Ling Cheng translated it into Sogdian and announced it to everyone.

A long and majestic voice came, echoing in the hall, and everyone replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone stood up, half bowed their bodies, and did not dare to look up.

Many of these people have some level of cultivation, some to some to higher, but they can all clearly feel the terrifying aura emanating from the monarch who is in the highest position in the middle.

This was something they had never felt before. It was as if they were being suppressed by a life form that was at a much higher level than theirs and could easily turn them into dust.

One can clearly feel the condescending and indifferent gaze, and everything proves that this great monarch possesses supreme strength and power.

It has been confirmed that this is a terrifying existence that can completely destroy everything that everyone has.

Ying Zheng looked around and saw that there were indeed few people worth his attention.

But now this young high priest of Loulan is not bad, he looks only 28 years old, his expression is respectful and you can see he is a little nervous.

The saint girl from the Jingjue Kingdom was also pretty good, a typical Western beauty with a well-defined face, a high nose bridge, big deep eyes, thick eyelashes, a small chin, and especially her thick, shiny golden hair that reached down to her thighs, coupled with her emerald green pupils, which was really striking.

Moreover, at such a young age, his figure is quite domineering, and it can't be hidden even under the loose and conservative robe. He is truly gifted. Moreover, those eyes seem to be unusual.

Ying Zheng is a fan of both white-haired and golden-haired girls, and now the only thing missing in his harem is a high-quality golden-haired beauty.

What is rare is that the skin maintained in the Western Regions is fair, delicate, firm and smooth, but it is too white, a little cold white.

I heard that Jingjue Kingdom, like Loulan, was ruled by a woman.

This saint lady of the Jingjue Kingdom is the daughter of the current Queen of Jingjue, and she will be promoted from saint to queen in the future.

Yes, confirmed, I want it.

Ying Zheng said leisurely: "I am very pleased that you have come from afar and spared no effort. I also know your intentions."

"I am talking to you all today. We will share what we have and what we need in the future so that we can enjoy peace together. You all will pay homage to the Great Qin, and the Great Qin will also extend its grace and protect the four directions."

"The territory of the Great Qin is vast and embraces hundreds of rivers. I hope you will tell all the countries that the Great Qin wishes to have good relations with them."

"Any minister who is willing to pay respect to the Great Qin will be protected by me. You can confer titles and official positions on the rulers of various countries. You can manage everything as usual, and the Great Qin will not make any further comments."

"Everyone who is a vassal of the Great Qin will be protected by the Great Qin. Anyone who dares to invade and harm them will not be forgiven by the Great Qin."

Many kings and chiefs of small countries were delighted to hear this. They had been worried about being annexed by big countries, but if they had the protection of the Qin Dynasty, would the big countries still dare to do so?
No matter how big a country the Western Regions is, it is vulnerable and extremely insignificant in front of the terrible country of Qin.

Although they were excited in their hearts and even though their joy could be seen on their faces, no one responded rashly.

There is an old saying in the desert: No one will give you water for free.

If you want to get something, you need to pay for it. This is a simple truth that everyone present understands.
