Everywhere where fireworks linger is filled with the fragrance of powder.
There are also little songs that are sung, all of which have an intoxicating sound.
but.
Li Xuan likes it.
The best thing about this era is that as long as there is money, brothels can still provide beautiful girls. Unlike when the Qieshan Sword Sect came to power, beautiful girls were picked up by the Jianshan Sword Sect before they matured and became maids of the Sword Sect. ....
at this time.
Xue Xuanwu said drunkenly.
"The court...he shouldn't have done that."
"I feel like that eunuch chief, that southern eunuch has something to ask..."
Then Xue Xuanwu was punched hard by Li Xuan, his small body groaning.
Feeling the severe pain in the back of his head, Xue Xuanwu said aggrievedly.
"Brother Li, you hit me again!"
"Yeah." Li Xuan drank calmly. This was the love education from his elders.
Although Xue Xuanwu is physically weak, he is smart and intelligent.
He is strong-blooded and prone to talking without restraint.
too young.
"The walls have ears, Brother Xue."
Just like back then, you can make irresponsible remarks about the court.
However, the State Religion Blood Knife Villa cannot be discussed in vain.
And the current darling of Blood Knife Villa, the famous person next to the emperor's leader, is from the south.
He came from the south to the north, brought with him the astonishing wisdom from the south, started as a chamberlain eunuch, and now controls the financial and trade power of Daqian.
During the years when he took power, the private economy was indeed prosperous, but complaints seemed to have become more prosperous since he took power... It is also very strange. Although the trade and economy are obviously more prosperous, the complaints are even greater.
Li Xuan had experienced the era when the Qishan Sword Sect was in power. It was really hard for the people to make a living... life and death at that time were more numb than complaining.
Nowadays, there is widespread public dissatisfaction.
"Oh...I forgot. It's a sin." At this time, Xue Xuanwu scratched his head and became more awake: "I'm sorry for talking too much."
"It's okay. After all, after you become the national master, what if you spray the eunuch, right? It's just that your elders found you visiting a brothel, and you can no longer hang out in this tempting place."
Xue Xuanwu's expression changed wildly.
Quickly block your mouth.
If he couldn't come to this place again, he would feel the most uncomfortable!
At this time, Xue Xuanwu was ready to make a move.
"Brother Li, tonight, if you don't want Qiulan, give it to me? I haven't queued for her for a long time, and I feel so itchy..."
"No need to discuss."
"All right..."
At this time, Li Xuan paused and said: "It's not impossible. You answer me a question, and I will let you know."
"Excuse me, Brother Li."
"Do you think that in today's world, is it a problem of strongmen at the border or a problem of ordinary people in the city?"
Is this question so acute? Xue Xuanwu pondered, then scratched his head, thought hard, and finally said.
"There are problems on both sides, whether it's the martial arts masters or the ordinary people who don't know the so-called, the same goes for the literati..."
"You have scolded yourself." Li Xuan joked, and Xue Xuanwu always made fun of literati.
Xue Xuanwu scratched his head and said.
"How should I put it? I think my classmates are quite stupid. They believe everything others say... They wish they could kill those martial arts masters because they think they are the source of my problems... Obviously the problem is The border is closed."
"However, martial arts masters also have problems. Those sects inherit Zhenqi Kung Fu based on family blood ties. Ordinary soldiers who go to the border will always be ordinary soldiers. Those who do not practice Zhenqi will always be soldiers. And the Zhenqi Kung Fu is inherited through blood ties. A martial artist with Qi Kung Fu can join the army and be a hundred households..."
Li Xuan smiled.
"Okay, Qiulan will be given to you tonight..."
"Great!"
Xue Xuanwu is happy.
at this time.
Another handsome young man came over. He had long flowing hair and was very elegant. He held a folding fan in his hand and smiled with squinted eyes.
"Brother Li, Brother Xue, why don't you two have an appointment with Yuan at Chunxiang Tower today?"
"My godmother is paying close attention today, don't be surprised, come on, come on, this girl will be given to you..."
At this time, Li Xuan looked at these two young men who were born noble.
An angry young man wandering around in the romantic world.
A person who doesn't want to make progress and lingers in the wind and moon.
It's hopeless.
The young man looked at Li Xuan and was quite happy.
"Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't see you a few days ago..."
"Nonsense, I don't have money every day like you. I earn this money with real money." Li Xuan rolled his eyes at Yuan Feng and said, "You can still eat money from the treasury."
"Brother Li, you must never say this..." Yuan Feng was also nervous and did not dare to make a joke with Li Xuan: "Recent affairs in the treasury cannot be teased at will..."
Then Yuan Feng also had an expression that said, "Please spare me."
Xue Xuanwu laughed loudly next to him.
"Brother Li, you said that I'm just too hot-blooded to talk without hesitation, but I think you're even better than me."
"hold head high."
"Everyone is drinking. If the sky falls, there will be tall people holding it up." Yuan Feng said lazily: "These things have nothing to do with us..."
Li Xuan continued to drink wine and looked at the two young men with his head on his head, fascinated by the land of love and romance.
Is it... a drunken dream?
Still, nothing can be done.
.....
.....
Inside the Daqian Palace.
Far behind.
At this time, the elderly Shangshu Duzhi rarely returned to Dubu, but came to the far-reaching harem.
As the general manager of tax expenditures, he was holding large and small booklets and frowned nervously.
"Eunuch Chen, our frontline soldiers are in short supply. Recently, the grassland people have become more and more arrogant, infiltrating into our border areas, burning, killing, and looting..."
At this time, the beautiful man in front of him said lightly.
"Your Majesty's intention is to withdraw money... We must not allow those prairie barbarians to enter our Daqian land and trample on our hard-earned peace... Do we need to say anything else?"
at this time.
But Shangshu Duzhi said with cold sweat breaking out.
"Is the national treasury becoming more and more empty now? We can no longer afford to support these martial arts masters on the front line. They are making trouble, asking for women, gold and silver, and food... .These must satisfy them.”
In fact, Duzhi Shangshu means.
The martial arts masters on the front line are not so easy to get rid of.
"If you don't want to give it to the warriors on the front line, that's fine. Just give it to the barbarians at the border." The fair-skinned and luxurious eunuch said while lying on a chair and eating the grapes handed by the maid: "I don't know. , that day, will you give me money, or will your head and female family members become their trophies?"
When it comes to border barbarians.
Shangshu Duzhi broke into cold sweat as he listened to the Grand Eunuch's words. He had heard about the fierceness of the nomadic barbarians in the border city.
When he was young, he once heard his family's military commander say that these prairie barbarians would sacrifice to the 'Immortal Heaven' every year.
In addition to the basic cattle and sheep, there are also human sacrifices to heaven...
Occasionally, they would plunder the people at the border gates. The women would be kept, the men would be killed, and the younger ones would be sacrificed to heaven.
If you can't plunder anyone, you'll rob your own children.
So when it comes to the possibility of barbarians joining the Great Qian dynasty, Shangshu Duzhi breaks into a cold sweat...
'I hope those martial arts masters and prairie people can fight to the death...'
As if he could feel the thoughts of Du Zhi Shangshu, Eunuch Chen glanced at the old man, then squinted... and smiled.
