"I heard that the Persian Empire is going to send an envoy to visit our Liang Kingdom." Xiao Yan said.

"Really? How is that possible? Prince Xiao Tong said.

He thought to himself: The Persian Empire is too far away from our Liang Kingdom! How could they come to our Liang Kingdom to pay tribute?

"Why can't it be? The Persian Empire traded with China during the Han Dynasty. Xiao Yan said.

"That's the Empire of Rest!" Prince Xiao Tong said.

"Although the Empire of Rest was not the Persian Empire, it also ruled the region of Iran." Xiao Yan said.

He thought to himself: What to do?

"Iran may not be the Persian Empire!" Prince Xiao Tong said.

"But it also rules Persia! O Prince! Why are you so barried? Why do you just want to be a barbar? Xiao Yan said.

Let's talk about the Persian Empire.

The Persian Empire at this time was the reign of the Sassanid Empire.

The Persian Empire was in confrontation with Byzantium for a long time. Therefore, I hope that Liang Guo can support them.

The Persian envoys came to the city of Jiankang by boat.

The people at the pier are dressed in colorful clothes.

Xiao Yan came to the dock to greet the Persian Empire's envoys.

"Welcome to our Great Liang Empire." Xiao Yan said.

The messenger said, "It turns out that you are the emperor of Liang!" ”

"What's wrong? Isn't it like? Xiao Yan was surprised.

"It's not like it, it's not like it! You are like an ordinary Liang citizen! It's like a Confucian. The messenger said.

"Confucian? Tease me? How can it be a Confucian? I believe in Buddhism now! Xiao Yan said.

"Buddhism. I've heard of it. However, the people of our Persian Empire are Manichaeans. We believe in the god of light. The messenger said.

"This sect is relatively rare! Emissary. Xiao Yan said.

He thought to himself: It seems that the Persians do not believe in Buddhism! It's not easy to communicate!

We need to communicate with people who believe in Buddhism!

Xiao Yan remembered the scene when he met with many envoys from other countries:

Xiao Yan returned to China, and his mood could not be calmed down for a long time.

He thought to himself: Could it be that he is a member of the clan of the Qi Kingdom? Who will do the assassination?

Could it be Xiao Baoyin's person?

That's not right. Xiao Baoyin's people should all be in the Wei State. How could he possibly send assassins in the Liang Kingdom? After all, I have uprooted the power of the Qi clan.

Besides, the only people who can know my whereabouts are insiders.

Could it be a relative of the emperor?

Xiao Yan said to Chen Qingzhi: "Aiqing, is there any way you can find out, who is the assassin?" ”

Chen Qing thought to himself: The assassin must be Xiao Hong. However, I can't tell. After all, he is the younger brother of His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, the assassin should be from the Wei State." Chen Qingzhi said.

"How so?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Wei has long had the intention of annexing the Southern Dynasties. Now His Majesty has just accepted the Zen concession of the Qi State. The Wei people must want to harm His Majesty. Chen Qingzhi said.

Xiao Yan thought to himself: There seems to be some truth. But why was the intelligence system of the Wei people so developed? How can you find out my whereabouts?

"I always feel that it is not the handiwork of the Wei people. The fine works of Wei have long been captured by me. Could it be that they have other intelligence networks? Xiao Yan asked.

"The minister thinks that the Wei people have many intelligence networks. For example, they can let Xiao Baoyin go to Luoyang. can let Chen Bozhi take refuge in them. Isn't there a role for such a powerful intelligence agency? ”

"Chen Qingzhi, I order you to immediately find out the whole story of the assassination. Ten days later, come to me here to resume your life. Xiao Yan said angrily.

Chen Qingzhi thought: Oh no. What to do? The cowhide was blown out.

If I can't find the assassin, I won't be able to confess!

Xiao Yan thought to himself: If the Wei State is so powerful, then their intelligence network must be eradicated. Otherwise, there are endless consequences.

Chen Qingzhi went to find Xiao Hong.

Xiao Hong was watching the belly dance of the dancers in the Western Regions at this time.

Suddenly, the housekeeper came to report: "Master, Chen Qingzhi asks to see you." ”

Xiao Hong trembled with fright and shouted, "You all stand down." ”

The dancers began to retreat, and Xiao Hong thought to himself: Could it be that Xiao Yan has already investigated the assassin. If so, I'm in danger.

Aren't the assassins dead?

How did Xiao Yan find out?

Could it be that they are just speculating?

No, I want to meet Chen Qingzhi and see if he knows the truth of the matter.

Xiao Hong met Chen Qingzhi.

Chen Qingzhi asked, "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Why do you look so flustered? ”

"Nope." Xiao Hong took the fan and fanned it.

However, his head still couldn't stop sweating.

Chen Qingzhi thought: Could it be that Xiao Hong is a thief? I haven't asked him yet, why is he so nervous? There must be a problem.

"It's not. Lord Xiao was worried about what happened to the assassins that day. Are you wondering who the Assassins would be? Chen Qingzhi said tentatively.

"That's right. I'm wondering who the assassins are, too. Xiao Hong said with a smile.

He thought to himself: this time he should be able to fool around.

After all, Chen Qingzhi didn't know anything. I can fool him.

"Really? Lord Xiao, this is the dagger with which the assassin assassinated His Majesty that day. The mark on it belongs to your house. There is a macro word. Chen Qingzhi said with a smile.

He took out the dagger.

Xiao Hong thought to himself: My subordinates actually used such a dagger to assassinate Xiao Yan, is he crazy. That's the dagger I've used. If Chen Qingzhi told Xiao Yan about this discovery. I'm going to die.

"Chen Qingzhi. Whatever you want, I can give it to you. I hope you will save me. This must be a false accusation by someone. How could I go and assassinate Your Majesty? Xiao Hong cried.

"Really? How can I not believe it? This dagger should be your personal weapon. If it's not your men, how can there be? Chen Qingzhi said angrily.

He thought to himself: It must be Xiao Hong who assassinated His Majesty.

"The weapon was stolen." Xiao Hong said angrily.

"I have investigated the family of the Assassin, who is not a farmer. The Assassin's family is now in the wealthy area of Cannes. It's not that a wealthy businessman can't afford to live there. The Assassins' families were little more than a small business selling cloth. How is it possible to afford to live in such a luxurious house? Chen Qingzhi asked.

He thought to himself: This time, I'll see how Xiao Hong explains. Will he have any other way?

"Then someone else in the court must have hired an assassin to frame me. Otherwise, how is it possible? I am so loyal to the court. Why rebel? Xiao Hong continued to quibble.

Chen Qingzhi continued: "No. You rebelled for the sake of Princess Yongxing. ”

Xiao Hong was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

He thought to himself: How did Chen Qingzhi know? Oops. Now, I'm done.

"What? Where? Xiao Hong asked.

"Princess Yongxing has a personal affair with you. Your Majesty is not unaware. His Majesty just didn't see through it. Don't think that Your Majesty doesn't know about your corruption and bribery. What you did with your son Xiao Zhengde. Your Majesty knows it. Your Majesty just doesn't say. It's not that I don't know. Chen Qingzhi said with a smile.

Xiao Hong thought to himself: Oh no. If this is the case, I will definitely be executed by Xiao Yan this time.

"Chen Qingzhi, whatever you want, I can give it to you. Gold and silver jewelry, or singers? Xiao Hong almost pleaded.

He thought to himself: Now is the time to break the fortune and avoid disasters, and give up money to save his life.

"Your Excellency. I don't want either. I won't tell Your Majesty. I said to Your Majesty that it was an assassin sent by the Wei people. Because, I don't want you to be killed by Your Majesty. Chen Qingzhi said.

"Why did you save me?" Xiao Hong asked,

"Because you are Your Majesty's younger brother. If you die. Liang Guo's prestige was swept away. Chen Qingzhi said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Chen." Xiao Hong was grateful.

He thought to himself: I must repay Chen Qingzhi well.

Soon after, Chen Qingzhi replied to Xiao Yan: "The Wei Assassins were infiltrated through the channels of merchants. ”

"In the future, we need to strengthen the management of the degree (similar to the current passport)." Xiao Yan said.

The news of Xiao Yan's establishment of the Liang State was soon known by other small countries.

Gao Yun, the king of Goguryeo, said to his courtiers: "Ladies and gentlemen, King Gu has long heard that Xiao Yan is a hero and a famous general of the Qi State. Defeated the Wei State many times. Today, he is the emperor of the Liang Kingdom. We in Goguryeo should also congratulate him. ”

"Really? Congratulations? The king and the Wei state were in-laws. The concubine of Emperor Yuan Ke of Wei was the sister of the king. If he casually interacted with Liang State, wouldn't Wei State have an opinion? The minister asked.

"Wei also needs Liang to check and balance. If Wei really unifies the world, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us Goguryeo to resist. Goguryeo King Gao Yun said.

At the same time, Deng Zhiguo and Lin Yiguo sent envoys to Liang to pay tribute.

Deng Zhiguo's envoys came to the imperial court.
