The crown prince Liu Hong's point of view is still very objective, among several scholars in the cabinet, Wei Qinghe is the oldest and has both ability and political integrity, not to mention that his vision and overall situation are higher than those of several other imperial palaces.

It's not that the rest of the people are bad, they can be pushed out by the ministers, and the cabinet ministers who are hand-picked by the saints can really not be said.

The difference is that their minds are imprisoned in the ground under their feet.

The Celestial Empire is still the Celestial Empire, but it may not be a kingdom again!

The Western countries have already extended their hands to the sphere of influence of the Central Plains Dynasty, and there are only a handful of people in the Great Xia Dynasty who can see this crisis.

It is the second saint and the crown prince Liu Hong, or the news of the Western countries from Wang Chenghai, the envoy of Jinghaiweijiedu.

I was really shocked when I asked, I didn't think that a small Western country had already made enough wealth at sea, and even ambitiously touched the black hand to the edge of Daxia's couch.

"I hope this time I can wake up some people......

Jia Cong didn't have much hope for this, and those students could say that the young people's minds were not completely imprisoned.

The ministers of the court are really ...... It's hard to put into words!

The defeat in southern Xinjiang was so strange that most of the civil and military forces in the DPRK and China did not blame the reason for the defeat only on the ineffective command of Shuiso.

They didn't think about it, when did the three feudatories in southern Xinjiang dare to shout like this with the Celestial Empire. What exactly is that weird "Mighty Pill" and "Painless Pill"? Who is the red-haired devil who appeared in the three kingdoms of southern Xinjiang?

"Brother Cong, why don't you stay and meet this group of students with me?"

Jia Cong nodded, he was very curious about how Liu Hong was going to talk to this group of students about peace.

The palace is strictly forbidden, so naturally all the students outside the palace gate will not be edicted into the East Palace. Qi Bohan was quite reliable, ordered someone to go to the palace gate, and selected twenty representatives from the crowd that crowded in front of the Great Xia Gate.

As soon as everyone entered the East Palace, they saw two people standing at the entrance of the main hall, all wearing red round-necked dragon robes and black gauze winged crowns.

This is His Royal Highness the Prince of the Prison Kingdom, his sword eyebrows are slightly open, showing his nobility.

Half a step behind the prince, there was a man who was younger. Purple robe and golden crown, embroidered with a chubby big orange cat on the official robe, with a jade-handled Yanling knife hanging from his waist, needless to say, this must be the royal cat Jia Cong.

"Student ...... Greetings"

Ten steps before the king, everyone was about to pay a big salute.

But he saw Liu Hong take the first step to stop: "You virtuous students don't need to be polite, this is not a court ceremony, you and I are both scholars, and we should treat each other as scholars."

After that, he took the lead and said, "Hongyi has seen all the virtuous students." (Note, Hongyi is the character of the crown prince Liu Hong, from "The Analects of Taibo": A scholar cannot do without Hongyi, and there is a long way to go.) ）

The crown prince's salute startled everyone, and at the same time suppressed the anger in their hearts.

Everyone hurriedly returned to the bow: "The students meet His Royal Highness the Prince of the Prison Kingdom, Your Highness is safe!"

"I don't need to introduce this one more, he wanders around the capital every day, I'm afraid all of you are very familiar with it."

As soon as Liu Hong said this, most of the nervousness of everyone dissipated.

Jia Cong also stepped forward to say hello: "Jia Cong has seen all the senior brothers."

"I've seen Mistress Michiko......

"I've seen my junior."

"Little Jia is well."

This time, there was any name for the return gift, but it made everyone feel funny, looked at each other, and laughed in unison.

The original tense atmosphere was relieved, and under the guidance of Liu Hong, everyone came to the main hall of the East Palace.

The little eunuch had already rearranged the main hall, including Liu Hong's own original exquisite tables and chairs, which had been removed and replaced with ordinary futons.

In the main hall, all four are the same, and more than 20 futons of several cases make this group of scholars feel warm in their hearts: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really virtuous, courteous and virtuous, and treats people kindly......

"The defeat of southern Xinjiang, I, the crown prince, am also very sad and angry, but the situation in the DPRK and China is not optimistic. I can understand the anger of all the virtuous students, but it is up to me whether this peace matter is right or not, and how to do it

Let's talk about it together......

Liu Hong was in the first place, and after sitting on the futon, he waved to the people who were still stunned: "Sit, sit, let's sit down and talk."

The scholars were inevitably cramped, and after thanking the crown prince for the seat, Jia Cong took the lead and sat on the first place on the left-hand side.

Then everyone thanked them and sat down on the nearest futon. The little eunuchs brought the refreshments, and then respectfully hid aside.

Liu Hong didn't say anything else, but just asked people to take a number of account books and files from the household department, the military department, and the metropolitan governor's mansion, and then the little eunuch brought a screen.

What is painted on this screen is not a beautiful scenery, but a detailed map of Daxia.

"The household department has no money, and even at the beginning of the third year of Yuan You, he was already unable to make ends meet. The Beijing camp and the nine sides are relatively good, and the guards in various places can fight less than 30 percent......

"Ladies and gentlemen, look at this, yes, just south of Yunnan and Guangxi, South Vietnam, Siam, and Burma have tens of thousands of soldiers and threaten our borders."

"Uszangdusi, word came a few months ago. Their living Buddhas are no longer willing to obey the decrees of the Celestial Empire, and they intend to stand on their own."

Wow!

There was an instant uproar in the main hall.

"How is this possible? My Great Summer is thousands of miles away, and there are thousands of treasures and thousands of people, how can I lose my money?"

"In the past few years, natural and man-made disasters have continued, not to mention the collection of taxes in the affected places, and the imperial court has to take a large amount of money and grain for disaster relief."

"The three feudatories of Southern Xinjiang are really arrogant, can't the imperial court transfer the army of the Beijing camp south?"

"After a long period of peace, the combat power of the Beijing camp is less than half of that of Zhaowu Nian."

"What about the Nine-Sided Army?"

"The army of the Nine Sides has been transferred, what should I do if the *** of the grassland goes south?"

Liu Hong's patience is very good, and he always replies carefully to everyone's questions. As time passed, the group finally understood the concerns of the imperial court.

Great Xia is so big that in the reports received every day, there are always one or two states and counties facing natural and man-made disasters.

Perhaps at this time, when they were sitting in the East Palace and discussing the Tao, there was a certain state and county thousands of miles away, and there was a natural disaster going on.

In the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Great Xia was too strong, so that the people looked at people with their nostrils when they saw them.

Even the money that Fan people give to beggars on the street will be spat on by him, thinking that this person is insulting him.

But when they faced the insult of the South Vietnamese monkeys, they couldn't shout the heroic words of those who offended me even if they were far away, as they did before entering the palace.

No money, no soldiers, and a bird war!

"What then? Do you really marry my Han daughter to the land of the Southern Barbarians?"

"I can't swallow this breath!"

Liu Hong's face was also full of grief and indignation, and he smashed his fist on several cases in front of him.

With a bang, the tea cups on the table were shaken, and the tea soaked the red dragon robe on his body.

I only heard Liu Hong say angrily: "If it's just the three feudatories of Southern Xinjiang, I'll still have a way to resist it. But in fact, behind the three feudatories, there is a hateful Western red hair!"

"Westerners? Red hair? Red hair? My family also has business dealings with them, and they do have close contacts with the countries of the South Seas."

One of the people present exclaimed, and when he saw that everyone was puzzled, he got up and bowed to Liu Hong, and explained to everyone: "In Lower Guangzhou, Li Shifan's family has a lot of business from Guangzhou City to the Western Netherlands. The skills of this Dutch sea ship are far superior to our dynasty, and its Hongyi cannon is even more powerful......

Someone took the first step to popularize Hongyi, and Liu Hong's eyes were filled with joy.

As long as someone opens their eyes to the world, his plan can be promoted, and when the time comes, a steady stream of fresh blood will flow into the East Palace and the court......

"Brother Li is right, in fact, Westerners are no less skilled than our dynasty, and even stronger than our dynasty in some aspects. For example, there are a lot of amazing things in the Western imports."

"Ringing bells?"

"I still want the Hongyi cannon in Brother Li's mouth!"

The discussion became more and more enthusiastic, and everyone thought that they had found the reason for the defeat in southern Xinjiang.

That is, the red hair is razed to the south of Xinjiang

The three feudatories have helped, otherwise my Great Summer Dynasty would have been defeated by the South Vietnamese monkeys?

"In this way, what I am facing now is not South Vietnam and Siam, but the Western Hongyi behind them?"

"That's true, but it's not comprehensive."

Seeing that the discussion was almost over and the goal had been achieved, Liu Hong coughed lightly and summed it up: "Actually, I have to face not only external troubles, but also internal worries. The external afflictions are not only from the Western Hongyi, but also from the northern Tatars, Warats, and other countries, and even the Wa Kingdom, Goryeo, and the Western Regions vassal domains."

Hiss!

Everyone took a deep breath, not wanting to be as strong as the Celestial Empire, there would be so many external troubles.

"Let's not mention the external danger for the time being, the soldiers will come to the enemy water to the earth weir, and if they can fight, they will fight, but they will also fight. Now the biggest problem is internal worries, have you ever wondered, why do I have no money when I am rich and rich, and I have a vast territory of thousands of miles?"

After Liu Hong threw out this question, the main hall of the East Palace instantly boiled.

This problem will go through many times in all dynasties, recuperate when the country was founded, and then the people will be poor and the country will be poor, and finally the war will burn everything, and then the spring breeze will blow and regenerate.

This time the discussion was even more intense than Liu Hong imagined, and more than 20 people were even divided into three or four factions, fighting for red faces in the East Palace.

In the end, the little eunuch continued to serve the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and let him splash the ink.

Liu Hong did not stop the controversy of this group of people, and to a certain extent, the truth was contested.

"Ding Ding Ding ......"

The bell chime rang, and Liu Hong finally rang the bell chime when the group of people was about to fight, interrupting their argument.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for lunch. Why don't you dine with me and we can continue our discussion in the afternoon?"

The matter of the student's book shook the capital, but it achieved the good name of the prince of the East Palace.

As the story of Donggong's discussion spread, the battle of southern Xinjiang, the negotiation of peace and affinity, and the contrast between the strength and weakness of the Celestial Empire and the West became the hottest topics in Gyeonggi.

Every day, students from the East Palace would be summoned, and the relevant records of the Tao would be sent to the cabinet one by one, which made the cabinet ministers marvel and blush.

Until the envoys of the three feudatories in southern Xinjiang entered the capital, there was still no outbreak of public resentment as imagined by the cabinet.

The people of the capital just stared at the mission slowly entering the city with cold eyes, no abuse, no rotten eggs and rotten leaves, and no angry knights stabbed the people of the mission to death with a sword.

Jia Cong went to the East Palace for two consecutive days to read the whole process of the East Palace, and threw himself on the five bodies that Liu Hong admired.

This prince is worthy of being the successor of the empire jointly cultivated by the two saints, and his control of people's hearts and the grasp of the state of affairs can be said to be meticulous.

Everyone was led by Liu Hong into his preset established line, and the focus of the government and the opposition has shifted from the peace negotiations caused by the defeat in southern Xinjiang to the big discussion of facing up to the gap, changing the law to become stronger, lying on the salary and tasting courage, and being ashamed.

Jia Cong originally thought that Liu Hong's operation was deliberately taught by the two saints, and he didn't want to go to the Dragon Head Palace, so he realized that Liu Hong had grown into a qualified prince of the country.

The retired old man and the "sick and uncured" emperor sat firmly on the edge of the liquid pool, fishing, sitting and watching the wind and clouds surge, and watched with satisfaction as the crown prince performed a slightly immature method.

Of course, there are many people in the court, who have already tasted the charm of the East Palace's discussion of the Tao. But they cooperated with the prince of the prison country and promoted the fermentation of public opinion in the capital step by step.

The Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple selected a suitable person to contact the three feudal clans in southern Xinjiang, but they did not accept each other's credentials.

Today is a wrong word here, tomorrow is where there is a chapter missing, the national letter of the three feudal lords has been stuck in the Sifang Pavilion for half a month.

Until the three feudatories released cruel words and did not accept the letter of state, they would return to southern Xinjiang, and then they would meet each other in battle.

Nie Chaoyi, a member of the Ministry of Rites in charge of the peace talks, sneered in his heart, but his face was extremely frightened, and he hurriedly took the letter of state from the three feudal clans and went to the cabinet.

Shousuke-sama has finally recovered and returned to the cabinet to preside over the overall situation.

While Lord Jifu breathed a sigh of relief, his heart was also filled with unwillingness.

Wei Qing

After taking the letter of state presented by Nie Chaoyi, he threw it aside and looked at Qi Bohan on the side: "Elder Qi Ge, what did you say about the secret fold of the Marquis of Rong Guo yesterday?"

After the Rongguo Mansion received the letter from the Lord Pardon, the whole mansion was happy.

The old lady has not heard from him for a long time, and even the old lady is also uneasy in her heart. The eldest son no longer pleases her, and she also understands that Ning Rongjia's biggest reliance now is him.

Seven days ago, on April 22, Concubine Niangniang of Fengzao Palace gave birth to a son, Sacred Heart Dayue.

The old lady took Mrs. Xing into the palace to visit Yuan Chun yesterday, and after she came back, she asked Jia Cong if she had any news of pardoning the eldest master.

Now not only the people in the two mansions, but also the Yuan Chun and the newborn prince in the palace have to rely on the support of the old man.

Relatives and relatives, Ning Rong and Yuan Chun and the little prince in the palace, it can really be said that they share weal and woe and are inseparable.

After Jia Cong heard that Yuan Chun gave birth successfully, he had an in-depth conversation with the crown prince Liu Hong.

Perhaps it was the joint cultivation of the two saints, as well as the smooth passage of the East Palace this time, that Liu Hong's self-confidence had reached a peak.

He didn't think that Ning Rongjia's family would be so low that they would give up their support for himself for a little baby who didn't know how to be virtuous and foolish.

Moreover, Yuan Chun had told him openly and secretly after she became pregnant that Fengzao Palace would not participate in the competition for the throne.

Regardless of whether Yuan Chun said that he could keep going, Liu Hong felt that even if he added up the other brothers, it would not be enough for him to fight!

He, Liu Hong, Liu Hongyi, the current prince of Great Xia, will definitely become the emperor of Great Xia!
