Buddhist Cultivation: Starting from Divination

Chapter 198 Hot summer agreement, dragon and phoenix linger

Daxia Palace, Fengluan Hall.

Since the Empress succeeded to the throne, the Golden Dragon Hall has become Fengluan Hall, and correspondingly, the names of many palaces in the palace have been changed according to the Holy Majesty's preferences.

The warm sun was shining brightly, civil and military officials of various colors entered the imperial city, and when they passed the city gate, they had to be careful to avoid the remaining sword power here.

There was still a mess in front of the eyes, the Zhumen fell on the ground, riddled with holes, and many imperial guards marched lightly, silently cleaning the ruins at the door, dragging the corpses out of the pit, cremating them and burying them.

In the center of Fengluan Hall, sixteen courtiers carried a noble dragon chariot, with carved dragons, phoenixes and auspicious beasts as the top, and golden bead curtains hanging down, majestic and majestic.

Surrounded by a large number of court ladies and eunuchs.

But inside the dragon chariot, it was another scene.

The high and mighty Great Xia Empress was lying in the arms of a young man in a white dragon robe. The opponent's solid shoulders, his head buried in his heaving chest.

The side-opening fire dragon robe is like a flower petal, revealing a graceful figure, with a bulging chest, and a face without any weakness, full of thinking. After a while, he raised his head and asked the person in front of him:
"Husband, are you really planning to announce this in the court?"

"Ah."

Zhao Huai nodded.

"Da Yan and Da Xia must have a truce, otherwise they will not be able to deal with future crises. This time, I will go to the court with you and announce this in person."

"I don't think those ministers will listen. Moreover, since the salt price in the capital skyrocketed, many officials have retired and returned home. It is estimated that they have gone to seek refuge with my uncle."

Yu Qinghan sighed.

"There have been rebellions all over the place, and the problem has never been resolved."

"What if I have a way to bring down the price of salt?"

Zhao Huai looked into her eyes seriously, held her plain hand and said:

"Do you believe me?"

"Of course."

Yu Qinghan nodded vigorously.

"I have a way to lower the price of salt, but the key is your attitude towards King Changning, and how you treat Xiangyun."

Zhao Huai paused, but still mentioned one person.

Pei Xiangyun, she is Madam's best sister, if you want to deal with King Changning, she will definitely be unavoidable.

This was her father after all.

"Since Xiangyun left the capital, I haven't seen her for a long time. I guess she was put under house arrest by the emperor."

Yu Qinghan thought.

"If it really comes to that point, if King Changning is captured alive, it won't be too much to punish the nine clans. I will naturally be scruples about the old relationship, and there are still some things that must be done."

Thinking about it, Yu Qinghan shook his head, as if he didn't want to bring up this topic again, he broke the conversation and said, "Speaking of which, my husband, why did you come to Xiadu to find me?"

Zhao Huai explained: "This time the Demon Gate not only targeted Daxia, but even the Nanyu Mansion was besieged and intercepted. There is the shadow of the Shenluo Empire behind it. It seems that the Demon Gate and the Shenluo Empire have come together."

Yu Qinghan still sat up, frowned and said: "There are too many enemies in Zhongzhou, including the Northern Wolf Empire, the entire Great Xia is already like a wolf."

"Yes." Zhao Huai also agreed, "The northern wolves not only occupy the ten states in the northern border, but I also suspect that they have been infiltrated by Huang Quan."

"Huang Quan, what do you say?"

"I found more than a dozen puppets of blood demons in Nanyu Mansion. This thing belongs to monsters, only in Huangquan, but it appeared in the south. It can only be said that many monsters in the north have mixed into the human race, and we Don't know yet."

Zhao Huai thought: "The source is very likely to be from the Northern Wolf Empire. The Northern Wolf has always been the country of the Northern State. Now it is urgent to go south because it does not want to be harassed by the underworld. When I came, I saw no The disciples of Shaoxian Sect are all heading towards Beizhou for reinforcements, which shows that the infiltration of Huangquan monsters is already very serious, and the most peaceful ones are often the most not to be underestimated."

Yu Qinghan nodded his head thoughtfully.

The Northern Wolf Empire has been too peaceful these days. They would harass one or two at the border before, but now there is no news of them. Quietness is a sign of danger.

Zhao Huai leaned on the soft bed and said calmly:
"Old Demon Nether, Ten Sects of the Demon Dao, and the Shenluo Empire, I remember all their debts, and one day in the future, I will definitely repay them twice as much."

above the hall.

Only half of the civil and military officials came, and Hou Li left and right.

The empress sits on the dragon chair, behind the golden bead curtain, and the fiery phoenix skirt, without too many complicated patterns and accessories, is simple and exquisite, like a hot and dazzling phoenix, and everyone else is just the background.

Yu Qinghan's phoenix pupils were shining with luster, and the reflection in the pupils could be seen so clearly, it was crystal clear.

The red lips were moist, but there was no rouge, and she was very energetic. The emperor's crown fell in front of her eyes, and her long black hair was coiled on top of her head, solemn and solemn.

The buttocks are round, with a large piece of gold soft and concave.

Today, beside her, there is no eunuch standing, but a man in white robe, it is Zhao Huai.

"Today, I summoned all of you to announce an important event!"

The voice is high and quiet, full of majesty and full of charm, and the voice is mixed with nobility and domineering for a long time.

"Absolutely not!"

"Absolutely not!"

Before Yu Qinghan even announced what the news was, several senior ministers had already stood up to oppose it.

It looked like she had touched some untouchable taboo.

"What do you mean by that?"

This made Yu Qinghan very annoyed, because it was not easy to swear in the court, so he had to ask coldly.

The old official in the scarlet robe quickly said: "Your Majesty and Prince Dayan gave birth to a descendant, which is already risking the disgrace of the world, and it is the last thing to do. If you continue to be obsessed with it now, Great Xia will fall apart immediately, and Taizu's foundation may be destroyed. once!"

As soon as this remark came out, other ministers quickly echoed: "Your Majesty! In the past few days, many officials who do not hesitate to seek fame have defected to King Changning, resulting in a large number of vacancies in the court, which put Great Xia in crisis. Hanging high, the people are about to rebel, and the current situation can no longer be stimulated!"

"It's not easy for Taizu to start a business. Would your majesty want to be a sinner who subjugated the country?"

Facing the questioning of the officials, Yu Qinghan's expression was not good.

As a king, but being forced to question by his courtiers, is there anything more embarrassing than this?

Zhao Huai took a step forward, wanting to ask for an explanation, but was held back by Yu Qinghan with a begging look in his eyes.

In such an occasion, the husband should not appear on the stage.

He should play a decisive role when the final decision is made, not to argue when there is an immediate quarrel.

Yu Qinghan knew the severity.

"Do you love me, do you think that besides seeking cooperation with Dayan and signing a truce agreement, there are other ways to solve the covetous eyes of the Shenluo Empire and the Northern Wolf Empire?"

She finally broke the news.

Daxia will sign an armistice agreement with Dayan, withdraw troops from the border defense, and save a lot of military expenses. In other words, it is cooperation.

Restoring most of the trade between the North and the South and pacifying the states and counties that were spread by the war, and devoting more energy to foreign wars.

"No matter what, Dayan and Daxia are incompatible and must not cooperate."

"In order to prevent the outside world, you must first be safe inside."

"Da Yan's thieves are uneasy and well-intentioned, and they will come back to life. At that time, they will swallow my Great Xia country, so what should I do?"

"Your Majesty thinks that with only the relationship between the two of you, can Dayan not be thrown into trouble? Even if Your Majesty can believe it, we can't believe it."

Hearing these voices, Zhao Huai's eyes have already killed the officials outside a million times.

But it was covered by a golden bead curtain, so people outside couldn't see clearly, only a vague figure could be seen.

These ministers didn't know that Zhao Huai had already arrived at the court.

Zhao Huai, who had already clenched his fists tightly, was now burning with anger.

Do you dare to believe that this is the imperial court that Madam has to face every day?
It's ridiculous.

What does it mean to be afraid of taking advantage of the Great Inflammation?

This is clearly measuring the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

In his view, this is a group of foolish officials, just like broken stones, smelly and hard.

"Your Majesty, right now we should ask the Immortal Sect for help and send out monks to prevent the Demon Sect from committing another crime. At the same time, we should mobilize our troops as soon as possible to regain the south."

"Otherwise, Taizu will not rest in peace under the Nine Springs!"

Yu Qinghan frowned, and was also thinking about what to say in reply.

Seeing his wife's appearance, Zhao Huai couldn't bear it anymore.

Regardless of Yu Qinghan's objection, he said coldly via voice transmission:

"Do you think that Daxia's ability to come to this day is due to your so-called great ancestor?"

A man's voice resounded in the entire court, and the main hall was shaken.

The civil and military ministers were all horrified, looking around.

No idea who was talking.

"Bold! Who is it, dare to be presumptuous in my great summer!"

An old minister scolded.

Zhao Huai walked out from the golden bead curtain with a blank face, removed the Qi restraining spell from his body, and appeared in front of the officials.

"It's me, Prince Yan, Zhao Huai!"

When the ministers saw Zhao Huai's face, they were all shocked.

"what?!"

"It's actually him!"

"Why did Prince Yan appear here?"

"It must be because he didn't leave after the Battle of the Imperial City and stayed in Xiadu."

They chattered for a while.

Facing the noisy court hall, Zhao Huai repeated coldly:
"answer me!"

"Do you think that Daxia's ability to come to this day is due to your so-called great ancestor?"

The echoing voice continued to resound in the hall.

But not many ministers dared to answer.

The one in front of him had just beheaded a Nascent Soul Almighty, and his cultivation was so high that they couldn't match it.

Who knows if the other party will cut himself off if he is not happy.

The old minister who was yelling loudly kept silent under Zhao Huai's questioning.

Zhao Huai glanced around for a week, but no one looked at him, his eyes were sharp, and his words were extremely cold:
"Four years ago, the officialdom in Dayan was corrupt, the common people had no means of living, and they didn't have a good life. I admit that."

"That's why there are warlords separatist regimes. My wife set up troops in the south and flattened the north. She was invincible. Her military achievements are first-class. This should go down in history, but as ministers, what good deeds did you do?"

Zhao Huai's tone paused, and instantly became full of questioning.

"Nowadays in your great summer, there is a famine, starvation is everywhere, the land is lost, and the ten states have fallen to the enemy. Don't you have any responsibility?"

"Based on the logic of your Great Xia's establishment of the country, shouldn't it be time for my Great Yan to take back the country now?!"

"But I didn't, but I hope to stop the war and unite with the outside world to fight against demons and alien raids. What about you? Treat the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! Are you qualified to sit in your current position?! "

"Besides, who owns this Great Xia country?"

Facing Zhao Huai's questioning, the audience was completely silent.

Looking at the tall and straight back, Yu Qinghan's eyes were shining brightly.
