Chapter 70: A Turning Point in History!

In just three days when Li Yiqi was sick, several major events occurred in the DPRK and China.

The first major event was related to the foreign mission from the north.

These alien people stayed in the summer palace for several days and finally left, however, except for the Xia Emperor, only the three people of Taifu, Taishi, and Taibao had met with these people.

As for what they talked about, no one knows.

The ministers of the court only knew that when this 100-person delegation left, Emperor Xia immediately ordered to send the third prince Xia Huan as an envoy to the north in the spring of the next year.

These actions seemed to indicate that the Great Xia Dynasty wanted to form an alliance with the three Beidi tribes of the Hun Evil Golden Court, the Hun Hu Jin Court, and the Hun Ya Silver Court......

The second major event is the 'troop reduction plan' that Gu Qianyang once talked about with Li Yiqi.

In recent years, there have been constant wars in the Great Xia frontier, especially the barbarians in the south and the Di people in the north, both of which have broken out several battles with more than 100,000 people in the past few years, and both sides have suffered heavy losses.

Fighting a war is the most money-burning thing, because of the war of the four wildernesses, the pressure on the treasury of Great Xia has been very large, and Confucianism has long had the idea of cutting troops, but due to the obstruction of the soldiers, it has not been implemented for a long time. Finally, when the officials with the Wenchen lineage were keenly aware that the Xia Dynasty might form an alliance with the two Jinting tribes in the north and greatly reduce the pressure of the war in the north, they immediately raised the matter in the court.

For more than 1,000 years, the rule of 'civil officials do not ask about military affairs, and military generals do not get involved in government affairs' has been followed for more than 1,000 years. Today, however, Confucianism has long ceased to ignore warfare, and military generals have begun to complain about Confucianism's restraints. The 'troop reduction plan' has become a tipping point between these two opposing forces.

More than a dozen have retired to the court for decades, there are thousands of chests, through the heavens and latitudes, the ancient and modern Confucianism was invited out by the Taishi Bi Yuntian does not know how to come out, these years are nearly 100 years old, these have long retired to the mountains, do not ask about the world, live an idle cloud and wild crane life of the old Confucian, some are the elders of the two dynasties, some are the elders of the three dynasties, when these people collectively express an opinion, the effect is sensational.

Confucianism said, 'in his position, seek his own affairs, not in his position, do not seek his government', after the retreat of the Xia Dynasty's successive scholars, rarely interfered in the affairs of the imperial court, even many princes of the military family did not expect that in order to cut the army, these Confucians, who regarded their reputation as their lives, would collectively write a book. This completely caught them off guard, especially when Qin Ninghai, the former patriarch of Fengge and a famous member of the Confucian generation, was dressed in court clothes and held a letter of advice, bluntly saying that 'although the old country is big, the warlike will die', the Manchu generals fell silent.

However, just when many generals of the military family were lamenting the imperative of the 'troop reduction plan', the Taibao, who had been silent, also invited a person, a figure that even the soldiers did not think of-

The former former secretary of the Ministry of War, Cui Chengqi.

In terms of age, the widow of the late 100-year-old Zhenguo General Cui Shuangle, the military department of the British Emperor's era, is almost 140 years old, which can be described as a 'living fossil' that has gone through four dynasties.

When everyone thought that this deceased old man had re-entered the court, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were taken aback, and even the Taishi, who had always been known as Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face did not change color, his face changed, and he couldn't help frowning.

In response to the Confucian statement, Cui Chengqi also gave a reply - 'Although the world is peaceful, forgetting the war will be dangerous'.

In this way, the two families of Bingru and Confucianism never reached a unity on the 'army reduction plan', and finally it was Emperor Xia who opened his mouth and said that the matter would be discussed in the future......

The third major event is a matter that shakes the court more than the dispute between soldiers and Confucianism, and it is also the most incredible thing for Li Yiqi.

After many years of seclusion behind the scenes, Emperor Xia, who did not easily interfere in the court situation, bypassed many ministers such as the Three Princes and the Nine Emperors and the Six Ministries, and directly issued a decree at the end of the court meeting - in the future, whether it is a soldier or a Confucian, a military general in the frontier, or even a military general in the frontier, or even the capital protector of the palace, he must choose a prince who supports him as a candidate to inherit the Great Xia country in the future!

As soon as this move came out, the court was shocked.

The matter of seizing the heir has always been extremely obscure, even if some ministers want to be loyal to the new emperor in advance, they will never dare to express their position openly when the Xia Emperor is in the prime of life, for fear of arousing suspicion.

However, this holy decree of Emperor Xia was a death order, so that everyone had to obey it......

......

Several major events occurred at the same time, making some people with a keen sense of smell feel that the Great Xia Dynasty was about to undergo drastic changes.

Emperor Xia has been in the twenty-ninth year of the Holy Dao.

The year when the world will change is also a year that will be called a turning point in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty by historians in the future.

......

Go to the capital, drunken incense building.

'Zuixiang Building' is an octagonal pavilion group, located in the most prosperous section of the city, only three blocks away from the Phantom Paradise, the upper and lower are divided into six floors, the eaves and arches, the style is extraordinary.

Compared with the 'four unique' famous buildings, although the fame of Zuixiang Building is not so great, it is still one of the favorite places for dignitaries and young masters of the family in Shangjing, because this is a green building in the land of wind and moon.

Compared with the ordinary fireworks land, the grade of 'Zuixiang Building' is a step higher.

Although the girls in the Qinglou are all talented and beautiful, and the soul is moving, and the drunken fragrance building is not excluded, however, in this place, it is not the guests who choose the girls, but the girls who choose the guests.

However, there are exceptions to everything......

In the private room on the second floor of the Zuixiang Building, a group of young masters dressed in gorgeous costumes, outstanding temperament, and who looked like they were either rich or noble, gathered together to drink and chat, and each young master was accompanied by one or two young girls in revealing palace clothes.

All sides of these palace girls are like peach blossoms, exquisite, and convex, like the beauties who come out of the picture of the ladies.

They surrounded this group of family disciples, constantly serving wine and vegetables, smiling all over their faces, delicate as flowers. Because these girls all know that the group of sons of the family in front of them are all from extraordinary backgrounds, and their backgrounds and identities are not simple. Once you please them, maybe you will have the opportunity to redeem yourself from here, and even ascend to the sky from a maid and a subordinate to a young grandmother of a certain Hou Mansion in one step.

As the wine became more and more drunk, some of the disciples of the family became more and more bold, and their demeanor became more and more frivolous, and some of them began to reach into the collar of the girl next to them, gently kneading the softness in front of the girl.

As long as the first person made a move, the others didn't bother to pretend to be Sven anymore, and pulled the female companion next to them, or kissed, or touched, or let the girl take a sip of wine first, and then cross it into their mouths mouth-to-mouth...... It's a lot of fun.

However, among this group of disciples of the family of dogs and horses, there is one person who is quite eye-catching.

This is a white-skinned boy with a ball-like body.

The young man wore a extra-large size of the luxurious satin brocade robe, and the whole person sat at the top of the crowd with large sleeves, even if the appearance was not good, but the temperament of the rich children in his gestures was difficult to hide, especially those elegant family disciples from time to time to flattering toasts, which frequently attracted the side eyes of these young girls in palace costumes.

It's just that this young man from a rich and noble family with a round body seems to have something on his mind, his face is quite gloomy, and even the toast flattered by the disciples of those families is just perfunctory, and it doesn't seem like he is here to have fun at all.

As if noticing this strange phenomenon, a certain prince of a family relied on the strength of wine, while holding hands with the young girls in palace clothes around him, while flattering and flattering him and smiling: "Boss Tang, what's the matter, you asked a few buddies to come out to play, why are you depressed, who provoked you, say it, buddies clean him up together!"

As he spoke, he put his big hand under the group of female companions beside him, causing the female companions around him to turn crimson, and their bodies writhed involuntarily, but there was a 'giggle' laugh on their faces.

"Deng Pu, it's none of your business, you drink yours. Tang Qi replied lightly, his expression quite indifferent.

"Uh-"

Patting the horse's farts on the horse's legs, Deng Pu's face was embarrassed for a while, and then he looked at Tang Qi with a smile on his face, with a flattering smile on his face: "Is it not suitable for the girl, you wait for ......"

After saying that, his eyes were cold, and he immediately shouted at the female companion beside him: "You, go to your Wang Ganniang, and choose a few of the youngest and most beautiful girls for Tang Gongzi!

Don't look at Deng Pu's flattery and nodding in front of Tang Qi, but in front of this group of young girls in palace costumes, he is extremely arrogant and invincible.

"Yes. The female companion glanced at him resentfully, got up and made a blessing salute, and then obediently withdrew.

After the female companion left, Deng Pu got up, came to Tang Qi's table with two glasses of wine, and said with a flattering smile: "Boss Tang, come, brother toast you." ”

"Brother......" Tang Qi bit these two words tightly, his eyes were extremely gloomy, staring directly at the wine bottle in his hand, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Eh, haha, yes, yes, brother, I have always regarded Donald as a brother, you ask these brothers, have I always respected you the most. Deng Pu's eyes flashed with a strange light, his face was full of flattery, and he patted his chest again and again and smiled.

After speaking, he immediately picked up the bronze wine bottle, drank the wine in it proudly, and then laughed wildly: "Haha, brother, I did it." ”

"He doesn't like to drink, he likes to drink tea......"

In the face of Deng Pu's bold performance, Tang Qi lowered his head, his eyes were gloomy, and he looked distraught, muttering something that made Deng Pu feel clueless.

Seeing this, Deng Pu grinned bitterly, his eyes kept rolling, and his mind was quickly thinking about how to please the master in front of him.

Although Tang Qi is not the son of the Tang Mansion, he is also the grandson of Tang Dingtian, although he will not inherit the title of the old lady Tang in the future, but as the son of the Tang family, he is undoubtedly the most influential group of children of the family in Shangjing, and Tang Qi himself is also a well-known number one person in the circle.

Deng Pu is different, although his ancestors also have people in the court, but the position they have achieved is not high, and there is no knighthood, compared to the Tang family, it can be said to be insignificant.
