Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 51: New Year’s Eve
Because of the recovery of the empire's military power in the north and west, and the officials from the Grand Duke to the military department of the Terok Principality have repeatedly traveled to the imperial capital to request military assistance from the empire to counter the threat from the Kaman Empire, and demand that the empire At the right time, the army assisted the army of the Czech Republic to recover the Jiama area occupied by the Kamans. He Zhiqiu, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Empire, also wrote many times calling for strong support for the most important friendly neighbor in the north of the empire.
Since the beginning of 694 in the continental calendar, the empire's military deployments in the west and north have been adjusted. The Second Corps of the Northern Military Region also has a main division and another independent division stationed directly on the border between Beiyuan County and the Principality of Terok. From there, they can quickly enter the hinterland of the Principality of Terok in just one day.
The Kamanians were deeply worried about this, because the adjustment of the empire's deployment not only made the Principality of Terok no worries at all, but with a strong backer, they had no scruples, and the troops were constantly adjusting, and gradually began to deal with The Kaman occupying forces who penetrated into the Jiama City of the Czech Republic formed a siege situation, while Fielding in the Northwest Taixuan Mansion in the west was always ambiguous, making the three elite divisions in his hands a pivotal force in this area. The strength made the Kaman people restless like thorns on their backs.
This is also the reason why Kaman's special envoy's trip to the holy religion was realized. The Kaman people with a keen sense of smell were really willing to invest in it. Surprised, what's more, these are all before the Holy Church has provided any substantial help to the other party. This can only show that the Kamans have an extremely experienced and deep person in charge, probably one of the "founders of the iron-blood policy" Called Prime Minister Gomez.
The middle-aged man sat quietly on the carriage with his eyes closed and meditated. The master's letter already had a countermeasure. The Kamans are not good allies. Once the Czech Republic is swallowed up, their ambitions for the northern territories of the empire will be exposed immediately, and this is also the most troublesome issue for the Holy Church.
Forming an alliance, of course, can get huge help right now, which can make the Holy Cult's power have a substantial leap, but it will also bring huge negative effects. Once there is an incident, the Holy Cult can control the empire in a short period of time A large territory in the north? Will the Kaman people take advantage of the precariousness of the holy religion and loot it? With the mind of the Kaman people, this possibility is too great, they will never be bound by those so-called treaty agreements, there is no doubt about it. And what about the attitude of the powerful Poole people? Will they have the same thoughts as the Kamanians?
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man feels even more pressure. The master has been going north for almost two months. Although he has contact, even he doesn't know the specific purpose of his going north. The two big countries - Kaman and Poole are related. Does the master still have face-to-face negotiations with the authorities in these two countries?
The middle-aged man shook his head. If that's the case, there's no need for him to argue with the special envoy of the Kaman people here. So what's the important thing for the master to do in the past two months? In the letter, the master also seemed to be very confident in negotiating with the Kamanians and Puer people, but a year ago, the master seemed to be a little worried that the Kamanians and Puer people were too strong for the Holy Church, and worried about them He would renege on his promise after the initial victory of the Holy Cult, but in this letter, it seems that he has no such concerns. There must be some reason here, and it seems that he will only find out when the master comes back.
To be on the safe side, the middle-aged man immediately changed his residence after sending away the Kaman special envoy. In his opinion, although the possibility of the Kaman people betraying themselves is almost impossible now, let the opponent with ulterior motives know his whereabouts If it is not in line with his character, he would rather spend more effort.
Looking at the dark night outside the window, the mind of the mature man fell to the south again. It seems that the group of people in the south has been very active recently, otherwise the junior brother would not have heard from him for so long, but he is also full of confidence in his junior brother. With years of experience and his extraordinary ability, he believes in him Able to handle affairs in the south. Qiankun Road? ! What kind of organization is this? Is it a secret group with the same goal of overthrowing the Tanghe Empire as the Holy Church, or is it the spokesperson of some external forces? I really want to see this group of people, who can fight against the power of the Holy Cult in the south!
The fact that Wu Feng was given a banquet by His Majesty the Emperor immediately caused an uproar in the court. Even several concubines attended the banquet. Another son-in-law is about to be born! Moreover, he was a big celebrity in charge of military and political power in the Northwest County of the Empire and the Northern Luzon region. This news immediately caused a sensation in the upper class of the Empire.
The nobles and ministers of all parties consulted each other one after another, asking how successful this matter is, because it is almost an open secret that the thirteenth princess of the empire has a deep dislike for Li Wufeng. The princesses openly expressed their contempt for Li Wufeng, and the marriage of the thirteenth princess had been widely circulated in the high society of the empire a few years ago. Because the only request made by Situ Yushuang at the coming-of-age ceremony at that time was that the marriage should be decided by himself, and His Majesty the Emperor readily agreed to her strange request. smokescreen? With the appearance and talent of the thirteenth princess, Li Wufeng is a match made in heaven, but it is a pity that the thirteenth princess doesn't like this Lord Li. This is really a knot that is difficult to untie.
Soon there was news from the harem that the princess who was married to Duke Li Wufeng, the military governor of Northwest County and Governor of Northern Luzon, was most likely the seventeenth princess, Situ Yutang, who was three years younger than the thirteenth princess. The seventeenth princess will be sixteen in the middle of this year to hold a coming-of-age ceremony. Excluding the thirteenth princess, she is the most suitable candidate. Moreover, the seventeenth princess is beautiful and intelligent. Although she is not old, she is very good at dealing with people Decent, very popular with the servants in the palace, and the evaluation is also very good.
However, an insider immediately retorted that the third prince of the Dorton Kingdom had seen the Seventeenth Princess when he visited His Majesty the Emperor in the capital last year. At that time, His Majesty the Emperor was also a little moved. In the end, although he declined on the grounds that the Seventeenth Princess was underage, he didn't say anything dead. He just said that he would think about it after the Seventeenth Princess became an adult.
The third prince of the Dorton Kingdom has never given up and is determined to marry a beautiful woman. In just half a year, he has come to the imperial capital three times to stay. You must know that although the third prince of the Dorton Kingdom is not the crown prince, if this marriage can be concluded, it will greatly promote the further development of the relationship between the two countries, and it will also be of great help to improve the increasingly severe situation in the northern part of the empire. Therefore, many officials in the foreign service and military affairs supported the marriage.
Then there was gossip that His Majesty the Emperor intended to marry the eighteenth princess Situ Yuzhen, but was immediately refuted by many people. It is no less than the Seventeenth Princess, but the status is very different, and the Eighteenth Princess has never been loved by His Majesty the Emperor. If the Eighteenth Princess is married to Li Wufeng, it may arouse dissatisfaction among the people in Northwest and Northern Luzon.
Because the mother of the Eighteenth Princess was originally a popular song girl in the imperial capital. His Majesty the Emperor had a dewy relationship with her in the early years when the emperor visited her privately. She was pregnant with a dragon seed, so she had to be taken into the palace and canonized as an ordinary concubine. At the beginning, His Majesty the Emperor was also attracted by his elegant style, but gradually fell out of favor, and because of his humble background, even the Eighteenth Princess was not loved by His Majesty the Emperor.
Finally, there was another gossip circulating among the nobles, saying that since there is no suitable princess in the palace to marry, His Majesty the Emperor discussed with the concubines in the palace that he intends to select one of the noble children of the imperial capital, including the royal family, with outstanding conditions. A suitable girl will be adopted by His Majesty the Emperor as a goddaughter, and then married to Li Wufeng.
The sensation and controversy caused by this news in the upper class of the empire far exceeded the previous ones. Many nobles and princes immediately acted to inquire about the accuracy of this news. Some even suggested that even if His Majesty the Emperor had not previously This means to find a way to make His Majesty the emperor consider the feasibility of this plan.
While the entire upper class of the imperial capital was in a noisy mess, the person involved in time was still enjoying a happy life leisurely without noticing it. It's the end of the new year, and the hawkers on the street are still shouting, trying to sell their goods in the last time of the year. Many shops on the street have closed their doors early, preparing to watch the new year. Firecrackers sounded one after another, and the children got the lucky money from the elders, and began to squander the annual generosity extravagantly.
Various households hung up lanterns of different styles, and the entire imperial capital was shrouded in a joyous and peaceful atmosphere~IndoMTL.com~Wufeng's mansion is also very lively, although it is a moving Not long after entering, thanks to the efforts of the servants, the entire mansion has been cleaned up. Under the auspices of Charlotte and Gu Mingxia, except for the guards on duty, the other guards have also been recruited as free labor. Arranged happily. Charlotte even cooks herself, carefully prepares the dishes, and prepares to present a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner for the New Year's Eve. It's just that Qin Shuangying's body was severely injured that night, and she still hasn't recovered. She even has some difficulty walking, so she had to sit in the lobby and direct everyone to be busy, preparing to celebrate the most important festival of the Tang people.
At this moment, it is rare for Wufeng to be leisurely for half a day, sitting quietly in the study to hide his long thoughts.
Another year has passed, but the situation is not at all easy. The matter of being trapped in the imperial capital is a certainty. Although outsiders can't see anything, I can't understand it. For a big change, I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will not allow him to take half a step out of the imperial capital.
With a sneer on the corner of his mouth, Wufeng slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and slowly put the teacup back on the table. Hmph, let's not talk about whether there are any accidents, even if the weather is calm, won't you create accidents yourself? The empire is currently in danger, and it still wants to use such a clumsy method to control me, and it is too contemptuous of me, Li.
Is the princess married? Beauty trap? This method is not very clever. Could it be that I, Li Wufeng, will give up my pursuit because of being trapped by a mere woman? Many touching dimples and lingering scenes flashed before Wufeng's eyes. Although Li Wufeng is lustful, whether the sentence that the gentle township is the hero's tomb is correct still needs to be tested. Wufeng grinned, revealing his white teeth.
