Chapter 575: The Great Xia Palace, which is full of flavor
Great Xia.
Since the defeat half a year ago, Great Xia has been shaken from top to bottom.
Even if he knew that the ancient clan was good at fighting, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses had been planning for a long time, but they were defeated by 50,000, and less than 200,000 were left behind, which can be said to be the only major defeat in recent decades.
Not to mention that the army led by Feiqi and Li Qianqiu also looted several cities in Great Xia, making a large area in the south panic.
After the flying horse left, an indescribable anger rose in Daxia's heart from top to bottom.
There was a lot of emotion among the people, especially among the scholars, but there was no action for half a year, which disappointed many people and turned the finger to the imperial court.
But it's not that no one knows the embarrassment of the imperial court now, but more people still direct their grievances towards the imperial court. After all, being raided by barbarians in the hinterland is something that has never happened before.
First there was a great defeat, and then the enemy army was rampaging through the territory, but there was nothing he could do. For Da Xia, who thinks highly of himself, it is as if he is rubbing his face on the ground.
"Every day I say that now is not the time, I can't share this little thing, I can't do anything about it, what use do I want you to do?" The roar of Emperor Xia sounded in the Great Xia's council hall, and the guards outside the hall all subconsciously shrank their necks.
In the past six months, Emperor Xia has often been angry, which has been the norm, and almost every few days someone in the palace has been beaten to death for angering Emperor Xia.
At the same time, since he vomited blood and fainted twice, his physical condition has become worse and worse, and Emperor Xia, who originally had only a few hundred hairs, is now half of his hair white, his face is haggard, and his eyes are sunken.
"Your Majesty, now that the imperial court has heavy taxes, many localities have complained that they cannot raise taxes anymore! If taxes are not raised, it will be difficult to raise military rations and armaments; moreover, it will take a long time to recruit and train new soldiers, and it will not be possible to go south for at least two years.
Now that there are Yun and Chen Erguo outside the barbarians, and there is chaos in the land of Tianjing inside, it will not be able to calm down in a short time, and it is the best time for us to recuperate. After two years, when one eliminates the other's strengths, it will be able to eliminate its satisfaction in one fell swoop. ”
An old man said calmly. He was used to the emperor's anger for three days, so he was not afraid.
There was only a little sigh in his heart, His Majesty, who was still heroic back then, inevitably became like this as he got older, although outsiders didn't know, but seeing the changes in the past six months, to say something disrespectful, he felt that His Majesty was getting more and more mediocre.
Fortunately, the crown prince is still heroic, and after a hundred years of His Majesty, the prince can also afford the overall situation.
And looking at His Majesty's body bones, I'm afraid it's only a few years of hard work.
"Wait, wait, wait, you say you want to wait every day, how can I wait? Now how do the people say about me, don't I know? And you, shrink your head Prime Minister!" Xia Bailong snorted heavily, his face turned red, and his eyes were full of bloodshots. He almost went crazy thinking about the news that came back.
"Your Majesty, calm down first, such anger is not good for the body. Another old man hurriedly said, after vomiting blood and fainting twice, Xia Bailong has fainted several times in the past six months, and everyone has to take care of the emperor's body carefully, many things are hidden from him, but how can they hide it?
Especially the revenge on Da Yao, which has become a thorn in his heart.
"Your Majesty, those are just people with intentions to provoke. If Your Majesty is angry, it will be in their arms. Qi Mingtang, who was known as the shrunken prime minister, said lightly.
"Hmph!" Xia Bailong snorted again before he said: "Now all the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods have come out, but they have lost a battle, do they really think that my Great Xia is not good?"
"They were very well organized, and some people were arrested, and all of them committed suicide by poisoning. However, the minister has recently found a little eyebrows, and in some time, he will probably be able to find the person behind these ghostly tricks. Another middle-aged man was heroic, with a long white beard, giving people a sense of majesty.
"Give you another month, no matter what, you have to find out who is making waves!" Xia Bailong said, and then covered his head with his hands, but he had just lost his temper, and he immediately felt a splitting headache.
At this time in the palace, a eunuch was walking somewhere, and when he saw that there was no one around, he flashed into the woods, and found a small cylinder from a secret place, and a square box was tied to the outside of the cylinder, and after a few clicks on the box, a countdown was displayed on it.
With all that done, he tucked the cylinder and box back into their place, and stepped out of the secrecy and headed straight to the next place.
It had taken two months to get these things into the palace in batches and hidden everywhere, but now it was finally time to use them.
He didn't know what to do with these weird things. But he knew that in four hours, something big would happen that shook the world.
My mission has always been for this moment.
Thinking of this, his eyes seemed to bloom.
He was joined by five other eunuchs and maids.
Two hours later, two of them changed their clothes through a pre-arranged route, and left the palace under the cart that was carrying meat to the palace.
After another hour, three more people left by different means.
Only the last person, a maid who was not very good-looking, but whose eyes were extremely bright, and which was unforgettable at a glance, sat quietly in the courtyard, waiting to see with her own eyes what was about to happen.
"Qinglian, if you are discovered by your mother like this, I am afraid that you will be scolded. A maid passing by and saw her and immediately reminded.
This maid who doesn't fight for anything and has never only done her own thing, in this cruel palace, there are also many people who don't want to see her punished.
"Scold, scold!" Qinglian smiled, pulled her hair, and her smile was extraordinarily bright.
"You ......" the maid was stunned, unable to figure out what was wrong with her. "Are you crazy? don't go quickly, if you don't feel well, go back to your room and rest, if they call you, I'll excuse you." ”
"Thank you, Sister Ling Yue. Qinglian said, showing another smile: "But I'm going to leave in a while." So it's better not to have anything to do with me, and if someone asks, just say it. “
"Let's go, where can you go? You don't want to kill yourself, are you? You're crazy? Niangniang is also good to you, although the palace is not very free, but you are well fed and warmly clothed, and the work you do is not heavy, what do you not see?" The maid was startled.
Qinglian's smile suddenly froze, did she say that she was going to kill herself?
However, he still reminded with a smile: "There may be something big in the palace in a while, and my sister must protect herself." ”
As he spoke, cylinders hidden in hidden places suddenly exploded all over the palace.
"Bang!"
"What's the sound?
At the same time, I don't know how many guards and maids went straight to the place where the explosion just happened.
Before he could run a few steps, he smelled a suffocating smell, and they all stood in place as if they had been hit in the head by a sledgehammer and vomited violently.
Some of the maids fell directly to the ground and fainted.
This smell can only be found in the sky, and the smell of how many times in the world can be smelled permeated the entire palace.
Xia Huang, who had just drunk a bowl of medicine and had a slightly better looking face, heard a commotion from outside in the room, and before he could scold, the smell entered the room through the window and into his nose.
Emperor Xia only felt a burst of suffocation coming, and fainted without taking a breath.
