Shenwu's tenth year and Chinese New Year's Eve are destined to be an extraordinary beginning.

Emperor Shenwu has reigned for nearly fifteen years, after the first battle of Heishui, changed the name of the year, it has been ten years now, the development of ten years can not be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds, but it is also proud enough to be proud of the world economically, only in the military, there has not changed in the slightest, especially with the decline of Ningshan Mansion, the last fig leaf has been slowly torn off, revealing the essence of gold and jade.

Not to mention the external troubles, there has not been an accurate number of large and small uprisings in the past ten years, the small ones have killed the local tyrants and robbed the people and property to occupy the mountains as the king, the big ones occupy the state capital like Fang La, and there are also those who have founded the country and called the emperor.

The friction on the frontier has been decreasing with the trade exchanges in the past ten years, there has been basically no war in the three years of Shenwu, and there has been a situation of intermarriage in the sixth year of Shenwu, although this kind of thing is not allowed on both sides, but there are many places on the border that have jurisdiction, and living here can well avoid the problem of intermarriage, and over time, the border has acquiesced to this existence.

The imperial city, as usual, has reduced its income this year and cut the grace of the harem, but there should still be there, after all, the royal family still has to face during the New Year.

On the morning of the 31st, he began to arrange the affairs of the ministers of the Holy Banquet in the evening, and the time was set at one quarter in the afternoon, and when the banquet was over, they would not delay their own homes for the New Year, and then until the fifteenth, they would arrange people to take turns every day.

In the main hall, the gold is splendid, the purple gas surrounds, the dragon pillar is shining, on the red carpet, the cases are arranged, the wine and food are prohibitive, the palace maids are all brightly dressed, brilliant, and can pinch out the water.

On the top of the main hall, many people have already sat down, bowing their hands to their chests, greeting each other and greeting each other.

Gao Yu entered the field, all the officials took the initiative to get close to him, the youngest cabinet member, will soon become the right-hand man of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the second seat knows that entering the cabinet, it is no longer the two prime ministers can influence, this is the holy hand-picked, but also proves that Gao Yu in the near future, will be promoted from Zhongshu Province to the Taiwei Mansion.

The three princes naturally came last, and even Princess Changping would not sit down behind them, which lasted for half a year, and the situation was unclear now, but most of the courtiers had begun to stand in line, especially after the five princes were showing favor to the Gusu family, and Gusu Rou was also closer to the five princes, more people still preferred that the four princes could become the crown princes.

Followed by the two prime ministers, Taishi, and Tiance generals, it was the cabinet composed of them that allowed the Xia Dynasty to carry out large and small things in an orderly manner, and ensured their royal status.

After the chief steward had sang, everyone got up, as if they were on the verge of a dynasty, and stood in two columns, with the two prime ministers standing at the front, and the three princes and the three princesses standing side by side at the foot of the steps.

Emperor Shenwu and the concubine Niangniang slowly walked out with the old queen mother, since the last time the queen mother's birthday, the complexion is obviously a lot better, everyone knelt down to salute, three long live, and wish the queen mother a blessing such as the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan.

After the Queen Mother sat down, she smiled and said: "Sit down, sit down, it's thirty today, don't be formal, don't be formal." ”

Emperor Shenwu said: "Zhong Aiqing is flat, the Queen Mother said, today is thirty, there is no need to stick to the number of etiquette, hehe......"

"Xie Shengshang, Empress Dowager Xie......"

Only then did the civil and military officials get up and sit back on the case.

Princess Changping looked at everyone in the audience, if Jiang Ning hadn't said that, she could have sat here today.

Immediately afterwards, the song and dance music rose, and between the cups and lamps, the joy was harmonious.

Suddenly, a little eunuch ran in from the side, ran straight to Zhang Dehai, and whispered a few words, Zhang Dehai's hand almost fell off the dust, but fortunately he grabbed it with one hand, and beckoned to the eunuch on the stage with a panicked expression.

This celebrant eunuch's name is An Yunxing, and he glanced at Zhang Dehai angrily, seeing that he looked flustered, and there was a little eunuch standing behind him, and he was afraid of being detected by the saint, so he reprimanded him in the end, and went down the steps unwillingly, standing behind the dragon pillar and reprimanding: "What's the matter, scaring you like this?" ”

If it weren't for Zhang Dehai's silver filial piety, he would have torn Zhang Dehai's mouth apart at this moment.

Zhang Dehai whispered a few words in his ear, An Yunxing's face also changed slightly, and he grabbed Zhang Dehai's hand and asked, "Who else knows about this matter?" ”

"No, now people are waiting outside......" Zhang Dehai frowned and said with a sad face.

An Yunxing Orchid pointed at him, he already had an idea in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Yunzi, you go and bring people to the Shang study, Dehai, you inform the two prime ministers, you must be careful, I will go back to the saint, don't disturb the interest of the queen mother, otherwise you have ten heads, and it is not enough to cut off." ”

After An Yunxing finished speaking, the three of them acted separately, Zhang Dehai first went to the right minister's side, whispered a few words, the right minister's face was calm, got up and walked towards the back of the hall, and the left minister saw this, Zhang Dehai also said the same thing, and entered the apse from the other side.

Seeing the two of them leaving the table, the saint was about to ask, An Yunxing saw the opportunity, stepped forward and whispered a few words, Emperor Shenwu's face changed, and then he smiled and said: "En, let them go to the Shangshu room first, and I will go over after saying a few words to the Queen Mother." ”

An Yunxing should go down, hurriedly arranged, and waited until An Yunxing came back, the saint got up, went down the steps and said: "You are waiting here, if the Queen Mother asks, you will support it first, don't sweep away the Queen Mother's interest." ”

"Holy Lord, rest assured." An Yunxing replied again and again.

Emperor Shenwu strode forward, took four guards from the apse to the garden a hundred steps away, and rushed to the Shangshu room in a hurry.

Han Xiu and Bai Feng, who were sent to Dayuan and the Turks, were already kneeling on the ground at this moment, and when they saw Emperor Shenwu coming in, they hurriedly kowtowed.

"The two Aiqing are flat, what about the two of them?" Emperor Shenwu took off the golden embroidered dragon coat, rubbed his hands, and sat on the dragon chair.

"Back to the Holy Lord, on the way back, Lord Zhang contracted a cold, and as soon as he entered the territory of my court, he ...... ......" Han Xiu burst into tears, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it over from the right minister.

Emperor Shenwu's face changed slightly, Zhang Qingfan was a veteran of the two dynasties, and he was sent to the Yuan Dynasty to negotiate this time, and he also relied on him very much, but he died on the way back.

When he opened the letter, the conditions written on it made Emperor Shenwu very annoyed, and he slapped it on the dragon case with a bang.

Han Xiu hurriedly said, "The Holy Lord is angry...... This was the request of the crown prince, Jerodot, and if it was not met, there would be no room for cooperation. ”

"What about you? How's it going over there? Emperor Shenwu pointed to Bai Feng, who was kneeling on the ground.

Bai Feng raised his face, but he burst into tears and couldn't cry.

"Minister...... Damn it...... Teacher, he was detained there by the Turks, and only one of the ministers was allowed to come back, and the conditions proposed are here, please rule the ministers with the capital ......" Bai Feng closed his eyes, kowtowed heavily, and took out a crumpled sheepskin from his arms with both hands.

Zuo Xiang presented the parchment, but saw that on the parchment, the land of Xining and Yan'an was divided into the territory of the Turks......
