Huo Shengnan and Visa, the two quietly chose to leave, Qiqi was already very familiar with Huo Shengnan, and she had always been treated as just Huang Feihong, the deputy seat of the Shence Mansion, Huo Shengnan had always been disguised and cautious outside, and did not arouse the suspicion of the outside world.
Qiqi only paid attention to the exotic beauty of Visa, although she was amazed when she met a few times before, but because she was busy with Xu Fengyi's funeral, she didn't bother to ask, she said to Hu Xiaotian: "I thought you were enduring hardships here, it turned out that there was a blonde and blue-eyed beauty by your side, so you had to be willing to go back." ” Hu Xiaotian smiled faintly and said: "She is my maidservant, I rescued her from Xichuan, and she has been following me to serve me in order to repay her kindness."
He didn't want to explain too much, Qiqi loved to think whatever he wanted.
Although Qiqi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she didn't continue to ask, and said softly: "I heard that you bought a manor at the foot of Luoyun Mountain, and you really plan to stay here for a long time."
Hu Xiaotian said: "The house in Kangdu was given to my father by the emperor, my father is gone, my mother is gone, and I am not qualified to continue to lie there.
His excuse was very strong.
Qiqi took a few steps forward, looked down at Fengyi Villa at the foot of the mountain, and said meaningfully: "I really plan to be a master of the world who sees through the red dust and doesn't care about the world."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Who can really see through the rolling red dust, but the real hermit will not choose here." ” Qiqi said: "Then why don't you want to be a real hermit?"
Hu Xiaotian replied: "The princess has lost weight again" Qiqi has changed from the petite little girl in the past to a long girl, her height is almost similar to Hu Xiaotian, but the development of her body obviously can't keep up with the speed of height.
At least the elevation of the chest can't even compare to Hu Xiaotian, although it is beautiful, but it is too skinny.
Qiqi said: "The harsh winter is coming, but the food shortage still shows no signs of alleviation.
"Xichuan has not been recovered, and Hu Buwei's sea grain transportation channel has basically been wiped out.
Now Dakang can only tighten clothes and food, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and Qiqi has no way, there is a wolf smoke in Dakang, and there will be news of civil unrest almost every day.
The area around Kangdu is relatively stable temporarily, and if this continues, even the soldiers' food and salary will be problematic, and if there is a mutiny in the army, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Hu Xiaotian said: "The emperor is not in a hurry.
Why should the princess be so worried?
” Qiqi said: "Dakang has been inherited for hundreds of years, and it is my ancestor of the Long family who has paid countless efforts and efforts to get to where it is today, but now it is going to be lost in the hands of our generation, which makes me have the face to face the ancestors and ancestors." ” Hu Xiaotian said indifferently: "You are just a princess, you don't need to take responsibility for Dakang's affairs today, after my mother died, I suddenly figured out a truth, there are many things in this world that cannot be undone by manpower."
If a person is bent on death, even the gods will be difficult to cure.
If a country really wants to perish, then no one can return to heaven. ” Qiqi said: "I don't believe in any destiny of God, I only believe that man will conquer the sky" The clear beautiful eyes burst out with stubborn and unyielding light.
Hu Xiaotian knew that she had always been strong, and said with a smile: "I have been keeping vigil here for a month, and I hear complaints and miserable cries from the official road every day.
Those people were arrested to build the imperial mausoleum, the people were hungry and poor, but they were still forced to build the imperial mausoleum, the emperor kept saying that he loved the people like a son, is this what he does to his children" Hu Xiaotian looked in the direction of Kangdu in the distance and said: "Can't the princess see that Dakang has no power to return to heaven?"
Qiqi said: "As long as you survive this harsh winter."
Maybe there will be a way. ” Hu Xiaotian unceremoniously debunked: "Actually, you can't do anything at all, and neither does the emperor." ” Qiqi sighed and said: "There is news from the northern Xinjiang that Dayong is training sailors in Yongjiang, and 100,000 sailors have been assembled, and they are still increasing. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "It seems that Dayong finally can't bear it anymore and is ready to go south to invade Jiangnan." ” Qiqi said: "Xichuan has also deployed heavy troops along the border to prevent Dakang refugees from breaking through the border. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "The country is people-oriented, the people take food as the sky, the people of Dakang can't eat and can't stay here and starve to death, they want to escape from Dakang to beg for food. ” Qiqi said: "The surrounding countries have clearly seen the dilemma that Dakang is facing now, and instead of being unwilling to reach out to help, they have tightly sealed the borders and forbade the victims of Dakang from entering their borders.
Speaking of Dakang's situation, Qiqi's mood is depressed and heavy, as time progresses, Dakang's situation is becoming worse, and even despair has begun to breed in her heart during this time, she has never lost hope for the future before.
Hu Xiaotian nodded, although he was here to guard the spirit during this time, he never gave up his attention to the situation in the world, he already knew what Qiqi said, and he also discussed it with Yang Lingqi, they all thought that no country would take the initiative to invade Dakang before the beginning of spring, firstly, this is not the best time to send troops, and secondly, this harsh winter is an unprecedentedly severe test for Dakang, and the precarious regime of Dakang may not survive this harsh winter and will split from within.
The hungry and cold soldiers will lose the last shred of hope and confidence in the Dakang Dynasty, and their loyalty will disappear in the face of the cruel reality.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Does the princess know what happened in Xingzhou?"
Qiqi nodded and said: "I heard that the 50,000 coolies who rebelled in the imperial tomb went to Xingzhou to defect to Guo Guangbi, and more than half of them died of starvation and illness on the way, and in the end, only more than 20,000 people arrived in Xingzhou safely. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "At first, everyone thought that after these coolies entered Xingzhou, it would inevitably cause a shortage of food in Xingzhou, but they didn't expect that they not only accommodated more than 20,000 people, but also ensured their food and clothing. ” Qiqi said: "Guo Guangbi is not the food that was raised by burning and looting everywhere. ” Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "The object of his burning and looting is not Dakang, because Dakang has no food to rob, they actually burned the water village of Dayongjiang Yuecheng, robbed the military rations supplied by Dayong, and then returned to Xingzhou, because of the thoughtful planning, Dayong was too careless, and actually let them succeed." ” Qiqi said: "The Dayongshui Division has already assembled a heavy army in Jiangyue City, and I am afraid that it will attack Xingzhou in the spring." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Sooner or later, you have to die, it's better to be a full ghost." ” Qiqi said: "Are you trying to persuade me to follow the actions of those anti-thieves and burn and loot everywhere?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "What kind of identity is the princess, how can she be willing to do it."
The biggest problem facing Dakang now is that the territory is too large, there are too many people, and the country has been plagued by natural disasters for many years, and the grain storage can no longer afford so many people. ” Qiqi said: "What is the need to do extraordinary things when it is extraordinary" Of course she understands when it is extraordinary, but what is the extraordinary thing that Hu Xiaotian said Hu Xiaotian said: "It is foreseeable that after experiencing this cold winter and internal friction, Dakang is about to face the fact that the great powers will divide and eat, and Dakang is powerless to resist in his current situation.
Since the national break is inevitable, it is better to plan as soon as possible to find a way to break and then stand up.
This is the conclusion he has reached after discussing with Yang Lingqi repeatedly for a month.
Qiqi Dao: "What is broken and then established" Hu Xiaotian said: "Now the minds of the people of Dakang have changed, the court of Dakang has become nothing, both the ruling power and the credibility have fallen to an unprecedented low point, and the invasion of foreign enemies can still arouse the people's hatred of the enemy, but if there is turmoil from within, then the society will inevitably collapse."
I think about it, in fact, it is a good thing for Xichuan to go out independently, at least it can temporarily keep the peace of the people on the Xichuan side, and now this situation must be abandoned.
He only dared to say these words in front of Qiqi, if he said it in front of the old emperor, he would definitely be considered a great rebellion, and maybe the old emperor would punish him for the crime of conspiracy and rebellion.
Qiqi said: "I understand what you mean, you are exchanging land for food" Hu Xiaotian was slightly stunned, he hadn't finished speaking, how could Qiqi know.
Qiqi said: "Actually, before you, Master Wen had already proposed this method, to use the sixteen cities along the Yongjiang River to exchange for winter food from Dayong. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "If the sixteen cities along the Yongjiang River are given to Dayong, it is equivalent to taking the initiative to give up the Yongjiang natural insurance, and what is the difference between opening the door to Dayong If this matter comes true, then Dayong's iron cavalry will not wait until next spring, and this winter can sweep Dakang." ” Qiqi said: "It turns out that you also understand the stakes of this matter, I strongly oppose it, and Your Majesty did not agree." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "What I said is different from Wen Chenghuan, the Yongjiang defense line must not be lost, and the core area of Dakang must not be abandoned, but the junction with Xichuan, and the junction with Nanyue and Tianxiang can be appropriately let go." ” Qiqi said: "I'm afraid that no one will agree to exchange grain for Dakang land now." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm not saying that the land is given to outsiders for nothing, since the emperor was able to crown Li Tianheng as the king at the beginning, he can do the same now, and divide the territory of Dakang into pieces and divide it out." ” Qiqi said: "You mean that you want to divide the princes, what if they divide themselves in the future, or if they carry land to other countries?"
The first more is sent, and the monthly pass recommendation ticket support is pending to be continued
