[Plane] History of the struggle of the lords

As more and more foreigners set foot on the Middle-earth Continent, the changes in the land of Dali are completely different from the past.The emperor was annoyed by the envoys who went to the palace every month to seek an audience, so he set the first half of September every year to the fifteenth of September as the diplomatic reception day.And he will only receive unfamiliar diplomatic envoys during this half a month. As for the envoys that have dealt with them before, they generally decide whether to entertain them based on whether the interests of the two parties are strong.

Therefore, at the end of August, the flow of people in Dadu will reach a small peak throughout the year. This small peak is different from the usual peaks before and after the Spring Festival and temple fairs. Blonde hair, blue eyes, or brown skin and curly hair, in short, it doesn't look like the people from the Central Plains who are used to it.This spectacle has attracted many people from other cities who are curious about foreigners to come to watch, so more and more people gather, and some small businesses are born to make a living from it—in short, the metropolis has expanded during this period Several times.

Most of the foreigners were very honest in the strange land, except those who preached. However, the emperor did not welcome the monks who came to preach.Moreover, the monks who come to the Middle Earth to preach are not limited to a certain sect. Just the foreign sects conspiring with each other and competing for the limelight can consume a lot of their energy. For a while, the church of foreigners is just a representative for many Da Li people. With a free meal once a month.

On the first day of September, the emperor looked up to the sky and sighed deeply after he came down to court. After being the emperor for so long, he no longer understood why someone would rob his head for this position.In addition, he was even more unbalanced when compared with the two Wen brothers who were so unrestrained and carefree all over the world. It's a pity that his son is too young to succeed to the throne, otherwise he should be as carefree as they are.

He just sat down in the Hall of Qinzheng, and before he had a sip of hot tea, the Minister of Honglusi hurriedly handed over the roster of the envoys to be interviewed in the next few days.The densely packed surrounding foreign countries whose names cannot be distinguished occupy a large page, and several rosters are attached at the bottom, registering the gifts brought by these missions.This was the highlight. The emperor went through the pages carefully, and picked a few envoys who were obviously sincere and generous to meet them first, and left the others for the next few days.

After Honglu Temple Qing blushed happily holding the roster and retreated, facing the hall that had fallen into silence again, the emperor sighed and put down the vermilion pen in hand heavily.

Gold bricks, red pillars, waist corridors, and glazed tiles, this luxurious and cold Forbidden Palace has changed three times in just a few decades.If he had a choice, he naturally didn't want to be imprisoned in this position, but he was originally a man, but his heart was entangled in the love of his children, and he was born to the wrong family. In the long-awaited life, only the emperor himself knows the bitterness here.

A small group of envoys was led by eunuchs to walk quickly in the palace. They hardly dared to look at the scenery around them. This low-key luxury was beyond their cognition, even if it was the palace of the king they admired and respected. Not half the luxury of this palace.

They exchanged ten eight-foot-high corals, ten boxes of fine pearls, fifty horses, fifty camels, fifty yaks, and a large amount of jewels in exchange for the personal reception of Emperor Dali. The small country called Bamana is now being tormented by external and internal troubles. The Greater China business houses as far as the European continent have pointed out a clear way for them, that is, relying on the behemoth of Dali, and sometimes blindly insisting on independence is no better than seeking strangers People's help is good.

The envoys who came to see them clearly expressed the kindness of the monarch. This is the No.15 country that has made similar requests so far. Diplomatic relations, everyone helping each other, floating population, even if this generation cannot expand the territory, after many years, future generations will not be all stupid.

Of course, the hub to maintain this kind of diplomatic relationship is definitely more than the flow of population. After sending off this group of humble envoys, the emperor approved another business application from the Greater China Commercial Bank with a swipe of a pen.

Forging, minerals, cloth... the establishment of a country always has its own unique advantages, and there is no worthless wealth. Relying on this spirit of eating what you can, the economy of Dali Dynasty can make such a rapid and rapid leap. Of course, Most of the credit should be attributed to Wen Le and Wen Run.

The emperor finished writing what he was going to order for a while, stretched his waist, saw that the time was approaching evening, and hurriedly delivered the meal.

Dinner had to be hungry and rushed to the place where it was supposed to go to eat. Before the emperor's butt was warmed up on the bench, he heard the eldest princess pulling her neck and screaming like a donkey: "Father emperor! Father emperor!"

Her voice moved from far to near, and people quickly appeared in the field of vision, and the emperor wanted to sigh before even taking a glance at her—broad shoulders, square face, dark skin, thick black hair, and a pair of eyes Small and sharp, with a sinister and cold aura, thick and black sword eyebrows, stiff and stylish... How can this be a girl's appearance?

The most tragic thing in the world is the male appearance of girls. The world has a lot of demands on women, and appearance is a big hurdle that cannot be surpassed. The appearance of the eldest princess is as if carved out of the same mold as the late emperor. If this is a man , then this kind of heroism can definitely convince many girls, but this is a girl, and it is definitely the emperor's daughter who is also worried about marrying.

On the contrary, the prince looks more delicate, with big eyes and thin eyebrows, fair skin, red lips, and a slender figure. He has a gentle personality and speaks softly and slowly. When it comes to ladies, he is undoubtedly more qualified than the eldest princess some.

The eldest princess jumped into the sky three steps before the doorstep, and when she landed quietly, she half-kneeled with her hands in front of her, her posture full of strength and beauty like a vigorous and elegant cheetah in the mountains and forests.Her eagle eyes were piercing, and the black hair that was tied behind her head was blown back slowly by the wind. She was simply domineering, but it was a pity that she was wearing an apricot-colored princess gown, and the long skirt with water sleeves was curved. The moon shoes are full of jewels, wearing them on her body is like a perverted husband stealing clothes from the lady's closet.

The emperor stared at her heroic face and remained silent for a moment, then calmly said, "How decent are you jumping around all day long? Didn't I order the internal affairs to send you makeup? Why are you useless?"

The eldest princess made a cut, jumped up from the ground gracefully, pulled away from the seat she was accustomed to sitting in midair, and jumped into her seat in the next second without any mistakes, and then said: "Those pussy things, It looks like a ghost when you put it on your face, children don't like it!"

The maidservants around were no longer surprised, but just lowered their heads when they heard the words, because they knew that the emperor would never get angry with his precious daughter.

Sure enough, before the emperor could say another word, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived.

The prince is a few years younger than the eldest princess, but he is not shorter than her. He has an oval face and a much slender body. The heavy prince's robe and body always give people the illusion of being overwhelmed.He walked slowly, and every step was measured with incomparable precision. When he reached the threshold, he stopped, lifted the hem of his robe a little with both hands, and then carefully stepped one foot into the hall.

The emperor became even more worried. He rested his chin and waited for a while before the prince finally walked in, brushed off his robe, knelt down lightly, and said in a voice like a clear spring flowing into a stream, "my son has seen the emperor."

The emperor waved his hand feebly, and the princess's donkey-like voice raised her voice again: "His Royal Highness! I saw you walking ahead of me just outside the hall. I'm sitting on a chair now. Why did you come in!"

His Royal Highness smiled softly: "The princess is lively and lovely, and her steps are brisk. I just walk more slowly."

The eldest princess is like a child with ADHD, twisting her buttocks back and forth on the chair.

After exhausting the whole meal, the emperor returned to Qinzheng Palace with exhausted pace to work as cattle and horses. In the evening, an eunuch came who said that his mother was unwell, and an eunuch who said that his mother missed His Majesty. A eunuch who said that his mother made soup for His Majesty.

In the years since he took the throne, he has only selected one show in total. After he really sat in this position, he realized many things that he did not understand in the past.After the eldest daughter and eldest son of the emperor were born, he never had any relationship with any of the concubines. Without pressure from the queen mother, the women in the harem were all quiet and timid. Lied to him, but now he knows how pitifully he was deceived at that time. There are very few people who dare to ask and blame the emperor for what he wants to do. Does anyone have a way to know?

After patting his head, the emperor frowned and took a sip of cold tea, thinking of the late emperor again.

After so many years, the originally strong and indelible feelings have become rare and precious. He doesn't want to destroy the sweet taste of that relationship in his memory, so he often restrains himself to analyze the dark side of the relationship.

The emperor hurriedly turned over the memorial he had put aside to read, the Ministry of War's application for supplementary ammunition... This cannot be approved, and it requires such a large amount at once, it is difficult to guarantee it will be in place in a short while.The gun research report of the Ministry of Industry... After so many years of granting funds to let them disassemble the parts, they still can't reproduce the exact same ones. Instead, they have produced a batch of less powerful local guns according to this principle. The report says that they are used The parts of the guns used for research are too exquisite, and some of them are absolutely beyond the reach of human beings, and with their current ability, they can only do so much—a bunch of waste.Thinking of this, the emperor felt even more uneasy. From the guns brought back by the Great China Commercial Firm from abroad, he could clearly understand how terrible the military power of those foreign countries was. Da Liruo was still developing slowly like this, One day he will be coveted by others because he doesn't want to make progress. If he doesn't even have the ability to resist at that time, then what face does he have to go underground to meet his ancestors?He gritted his teeth and looked down—the Lumi from the household department is in place... The newly built granary has also been piled up, and the grain that should be sent to the border has also started to be loaded, thanks to Wen Le's suggestion of the south In the grain promotion plan, although the taste of rice is not as good as that of some of the best producing areas in the north, the output has definitely increased significantly compared to before.

The emperor nodded, and opened another book, which was presented to him by the eunuchs of the internal affairs. It recorded the money that belonged entirely to the emperor. The store and the big head come from a separate sum of money that the Greater China Commercial Bank gives him every year in addition to the tax bank.

According to the current abundance of the national treasury, even if the war is launched immediately, there is no reason why Dali is afraid of anyone. There are plenty of soldiers and horses and sufficient funds. ...

The emperor, who was in a bad mood, decided the future fate of the group of soldiers and bandits outside the pass with a swipe of his pen.

The news that Dali Chaoxin made friends with a small country spread throughout the capital on the second day. Most people like to talk about political affairs, especially this kind of unpopular and explosive news. This kind of enthusiasm for political affairs is incomprehensible to many people outside the capital.

The most up-and-coming "Great China Newspaper" in the metropolis has published an issue, and the headline is "Good news-Dali and friendship, Lu Siqing shakes hands with the envoys. "There is a picture at the bottom, which shows the appearance of two stick figures holding hands. The artistic cells of the ancients are endless. They can always make up infinite content from the limited lines. Therefore, these newspapers were snatched up by the common people. , had to print the second and third editions, and at the same time, the content of the newspaper was widely circulated among the people.

The conspirators always crouched meaningfully in restaurants and squinted their eyes to analyze: "I think the imperial court is playing a big game of chess."

The optimists are always smiling: "I heard that corals are produced in Bama. I don't know when the jewelry stores in Dadu will have new products."

The pessimists looked up to the sky and sighed: "It violates the hadith! If you are not of my race, how can you shake hands with them at a lower price? Honglu Siqing is simply too disappointing!"

Those who are careful can always find that since the Great China Commercial Bank started the sea trade business, the changes in the Dali Dynasty have been proceeding in an orderly and stable manner.

Road construction, commerce, diplomacy, and so on, make people who love commercial firms and those who hate commercial firms equally extreme, often like this a few times when they come down to the restaurant, they will yell and scold, and in the melee of black and white, there will be another riot. A round of disputed changes.

But in the heavily guarded Forbidden Palace, in the secluded and quiet bedroom, the emperor sleeping soundly on the couch was completely unaware that a new bloody storm was breaking out among the people. The first emperor, with a wave of his hand, he smashed a shovel down——

——"You bastard still dare to come to see me..."

Blood spattered, horrible to look at.
