Chapter 575: The Great Xia Palace Full of Taste
Daxia.
Since his defeat six months ago, Daxia has been shocked from top to bottom.
Even though he knew that the ancient clan was good at fighting, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were defeated by 50,000 after planning for a long time, and only less than 200,000 were left. This can be said to be the only major defeat in recent decades.
Not to mention that the army led by Feiqi and Li Qianqiu later robbed several cities in Daxia, causing panic in a large area in the south.
After the flying cavalry left, Daxia felt unspeakable anger in her heart from top to bottom.
Many people were in a hurry, especially among scholars. However, there was no action in Daxia for half a year, which disappointed many people and turned their fingers to the court.
But it is not unaware of the court's current embarrassment, but more people still turn their resentment towards the court. After all, being plundered by barbarians in the hinterland, which is something that has never happened before.
First, he was defeated, and then the enemy was rampant in the territory, but he had no choice. For Daxia, who had a high opinion of himself, it seemed like he was pressing his face to the ground to rub it.
"I say that now is not the time. I can't share this matter with me and can't take any solution. What's the use of me?" The roar of Emperor Xia sounded from the Daxia's convention hall, and the guards outside the hall subconsciously shrank their necks.
In the past six months, Emperor Xia has been furious all the time. Almost every few days, people in the palace were beaten to death for angering Emperor Xia.
At the same time, since those two vomiting blood and fainting, his physical condition has become worse and worse. Xia Huang, who originally had only a few hairs, has now had most of his hair whiter, his face is haggard, and his eyes are sunken.
"Your Majesty, the court's taxes are heavy now, and many places have complained, so we can't increase the tax anymore! If the tax is not increased, it will be difficult to raise military rations and military equipment; and it will take a long time to recruit and train new recruits, and it will be impossible to go south within at least two years.
Now there are rumors outside the barbarians. There are two countries in Chen, and there are chaos in the land of heaven and scenery, which cannot be calmed down in a short period of time. This is the best time for us to recuperate. After two years, if one rises and the other falls, we will be able to eliminate it in one fell swoop."
An old man said calmly. He had long been used to the emperor's anger every few days, so he was not afraid of it.
He just sighed in his heart that the heroic and powerful His Majesty back then inevitably became like this as he grew older. Although outsiders don’t know, seeing the changes in the past six months and saying disrespectful words, he felt that His Majesty was becoming more and more foolish.
Fortunately, the prince is still quite heroic and can bear the overall situation after His Majesty a hundred years.
And looking at His Majesty's body, I'm afraid it's only been a few years.
"Wait, wait, wait, you say you have to wait every day, how can I wait? Now what the people say about me, do you think I don't know? And you, Prime Minister!" Xia Bailong snorted heavily, his face turned red, and his eyes were filled with blood. He almost went crazy when he remembered the news that had been sent back.
"Your Majesty calm down first. Being angry like this is not good for your health." Another old man said quickly. After those two vomiting blood and fainting, Xia Bailong fainted several times in the past six months. Everyone had to take care of the emperor's body carefully. Many things were hidden from him, but how could they be hidden?
Especially the revenge on Da Yao has become a thorn in his heart.
"Your Majesty, those are just people who are interested in provoking it. If Your Majesty gets angry, it will hit their minds." Qi Mingtang, known as the Prime Minister, said lightly.
"Hmph!" Xia Bailong snorted again, and then said, "Now all kinds of monsters and monsters have emerged, but they have lost a battle. Do they really think that my Daxia is not good? Have you found out what you have?"
"Their organization is very tight. They arrested some people and all committed suicide by taking poison. However, I have found some of my eyes recently. In a while, I will probably find the people who have used these ghost tricks behind them." Another middle-aged man said that this person is handsome and handsome, with a white face and long beard, giving people a sense of majesty.
"I'll give you another month, and no matter what, I'll find out who is causing trouble!" Xia Bailong said, then covered his head with his hands. He just got angry and felt a split headache.
At this time, in the palace, a eunuch was walking somewhere and seeing that there was no one around, he flashed into the forest and found a small cylinder from the hidden place. There was a square box tied outside the cylinder. After clicking on the box a few times, the countdown was displayed.
After finishing all this, he stuffed the cylinder and the box back into its original place, walked out of the secret place, and headed straight to the next place.
It took two months before I sent these things into the palace in batches and hid them everywhere. Now it is finally time to use them.
He didn't know what these strange things were used for. But he knew that after four hours, major events that would shock the world would definitely happen.
My mission has always been for this moment.
Thinking of this, there seemed to be a light in his eyes.
Five other actions were made the same as him, including eunuchs and maids.
Two hours later, two of them changed their clothes through the route arranged in advance, hid under the cart delivering meat to the palace and left the palace.
Another hour later, three more people left through different methods.
There was only the last person, a maid who was not very outstanding in appearance but had extremely bright eyes and was unforgettable at first sight. She sat quietly in the yard, waiting to see what was going to happen with her own eyes.
"Qinglian, if you are discovered by the Empress like this, you will be scolded." A maid immediately reminded her when she saw her.
This maid who doesn't fight for anything and always does her own business alone, in this cruel palace, many people don't want to see her being punished.
"Call it just curse!" Qing Lian smiled, tied her hair, and her smile was particularly bright.
"You..." The maid was stunned, unable to understand what was wrong with her. "Are you crazy? Why don't you leave quickly? If you feel uncomfortable, go back to your room to rest. If you call you there, I will help you get rid of it."
"Thank you, Sister Ling Yue." Qing Lian said, and smiled again: "But I'll leave later. So it's better not to have anything to do with me. If someone asks, just say it."
"Let's go? Where can you go? You don't want to commit suicide, are you crazy? The Empress treats you well. Although the palace is not very free, she eats and wears warmly and does not do heavy work. What can you not be able to let go of?" The maid was startled.
Qinglian's smile suddenly froze. Have you ever said that she would commit suicide? Have you been too imagining?
However, he still kindly reminded with a smile: "After a while, something big may happen in the uterus, so my sister should protect herself."
With his voice, cylinders hidden in hidden places suddenly exploded everywhere in the palace.
The explosion of "bang!" sounded one after another.
"What's the sound? Let's take a look!"
At the same time, I don’t know how many guards and maids went straight to the place where the explosion just happened.
Before I could run a few steps, I smelled a suffocating smell, and they stood there in the same place and vomited violently.
Some maids fell to the ground and fainted.
This smell can only be found in heaven, but there are no smells that can be smelled in the world.
Xia Huang, who had just drunk a bowl of medicine and looked a little better, heard the noise coming from outside in the room. Before he could scold him, the smell penetrated into the room through the window and into his nose.
