Stepping into the delivery room, Lu Daiyue's face was already slightly pale, and her hair was soaked with sweat, but the pride and happiness on her face could be felt by anyone. Accompanying Lu Daiyue, in addition to her close friends Guan Xi Shuangdie and Gu Mingxia in the guards, Leng Ruoxing was also there, which surprised Wu Feng. Wu Feng was very surprised that a monk had such thoughts.
Gently picking up the baby curled up in the cloth, Wu Feng felt an unprecedented warmth in his heart. This was his own child. He gently touched the baby's cheek, and the red skin did not look very smooth. , maybe children are like this, Wu Feng paid close attention for a long time before handing the baby back to the wet nurse.
Wu Feng does not have any special feelings for Lu Daiyue. It should be said that the one night of happiness that can connect them is, but maybe it is the one night of happiness that makes Wu Feng a little greedy for the other person's body. Wu Feng has also analyzed it carefully Through his own feelings, he couldn't determine whether there was any emotion between him and the other party. He finally came to the conclusion that maybe there was, but that was based on sex, but that was enough.
Wu Feng had never considered that far, how to arrange Lu Daiyue and his child. No one among his officials would agree to a widow becoming his harem, and Wu Feng had never tried to do so. To challenge the moral bottom line of the ministers, many things may need to wait until a certain period of time to be resolved naturally. It is too early to talk about these now.
Shi Yafu will also give birth soon, but after all, the Shi family is much easier to deal with. With Shi Yawei as a cover, this child will be much easier to deal with in the future even if he does not enter the palace. Wu Feng has to admit that sometimes men are just lower-body animals. Knowing you might be playing with fire. But he just can't control his sexual desire, but Wufeng has no regrets. If a man likes a woman, whether it is because he likes her body or her mind. As for those who dare not express or try due to various constraints, then this man is living a useless life. Wu Feng does not want to be like that. Even if he encounters some troubles and pays some price, Wu Feng thinks it is worth it. At least he has done his own thing. It's enough if you get what you want to do, like Lu Daiyue. The same is true for Shi's twin sisters.
Lei Juetian, whose face was as heavy as water, sat cross-legged and stared motionless into the distance. There was always a sense of depression in his chest that was difficult to dissipate. In fact, the domestic situation during this period could be said to be very good. The fiscal revenue of the entire Khanate in 699 Reaching a new level, the copper mines near Ankun finally entered the stage of large-scale mining, and the grain in the Yue Jing area ushered in a bumper harvest in 699. The national grain inventory had risen to an exciting figure, and Luo Nicaea has finally completed full integration. Just as it became a province of the Khanate, the resistance of the people has been annihilated by his own methods of kindness and power. If there had not been a war with the powerful neighbor to the north, 699 would have been a great year.
Even if Machi Khan lost this battle, Lei Juetian didn't think it was a big deal, but the fact that this powerful neighbor in the north was finally unified into the hands of Li Wufeng put tremendous pressure on Lei Juetian. He even felt, Once Li Wufeng unified the empire, his primary goal would be to the south, and the Macchi Khanate would be the first stop.
Although the national strength of the Mach Khanate has grown very rapidly in the past ten years, especially after the Anjie and Yuejing provinces were merged into the Mach Khan. The national power has jumped to a big level. The rich copper mines in Ankun, the abundant grains in Jemelo and Yuejing are simply a godsend for the Machihan people who are not rich in resources, and the inclusion of Ronisia What is undoubtedly the icing on the cake is the rich iron ore and silver resources in this area, although the mining costs are relatively high due to geographical and terrain reasons. But for Machi Khan, this was something that could not be exchanged for anything. With its own iron mines and smelting sites, the Macchi Khanate no longer needs to be controlled by others. With copper mines and silver mines, the Khanate's finances have a solid guarantee. The harvests in the grain-producing areas will provide better conditions for the Khanate. It provides a sufficient foundation for military expansion, and everything seems to be so smooth and prosperous.
But there are still hidden worries after prosperity. Some troubles in the country are simply out of the question. Lei Juetian is confident that the current power of the Macchi Khanate is growing day by day, and the living standards of the people are also steadily improving. Even if there are people in the country who want to cause trouble, they will not get any support, let alone himself and Big Bixili. Khan, anyone who wants to challenge his authority must consider the consequences. The biggest worry still comes from the outside, from the Tang Empire, which used to be from the north but is now facing both the north and the west.
Lei Juetian knew that although the Macchi Khanate's national strength had developed rapidly over the years, it was still changing rapidly under Li Wufeng's rule, and the development speed was astonishing. Especially the series of reform measures and encouraging industrial and commercial policies in the Western Xinjiang controlled area, which made the entire Western Xinjiang The Xinjiang-controlled areas have turned into surging communities, with an explosive growth rate that even Lei Juetian can't match. Now Li Wufeng is sweeping across the Tanghe Empire with a sweeping force. Such a huge new empire is about to be established, which is undoubtedly extremely bad news for the Machihan people who are neighboring it. The main purpose of why he and the Great Khan repeatedly sent troops to the peninsula was to compete for the peninsula, but another important factor was to attract the power of Western Xinjiang, making Li Wufeng unable to wholeheartedly complete the great cause of unifying the empire. However, no matter how hard his side worked, fate The wheel remains irreversibly pushed forward to this point.
He couldn't help but let out a sigh. It had to come when it should come. If he didn't want to face it, it didn't mean he didn't dare to face it. Lei Juetian hoped that Ma Qihan could have another three to five years. In this way, Ma Qihan could Get a more stable development space, but he will not give himself so much time until Li Wufeng, and he may have to face the upcoming war. And this war may not be as simple as a local war. If it fails, it will determine the fate of the entire Macchi Khanate.
However, as a Tang Dynasty person, he had to do his best for the survival and development of the Machi Khanate. At this time, Di Lei Juetian felt that there was a bitter taste in his mouth. If the original Tang River Empire forced him to go far away to seek development, But what now? It's just that I have adapted to all this. It seems that I can't let go of the struggle of the past twenty years and start from scratch, let alone the sincere and sincere friendship for myself.
The horizontal sliding door was opened, and the sound of heavy footsteps came in. Apart from Dahan, there was no one else who could enter his study without notification. Lei Juetian put away his melancholy, sorted out his thoughts, and waited. The arrival of the other party.
As soon as Bixili entered the room, he felt the loneliness of his fat minister. He knew his minister of state very well, and he also understood that the other party was worried about the powerful neighbor in the north who was about to ascend the throne. To be honest, Bixili was also very worried in his heart. He was a little anxious, but as a great khan of a country, even if he had something on his mind, he could always keep it deep in his heart without showing it.
"Juetian, what's wrong? Why do you look so depressed?" He sat down casually and waved to the guards who were following him to leave. Bi Xili pretended to be carefree and said, "Could it be that someone is being asked to attend Li Wufeng's enthronement?" Does the ceremony also make it so difficult for you?"
There was a stiff, bitter smile on his face. Lei Juetian also knew that this was Dahan's intention to liven up the atmosphere. He also knew that his appearance somewhat undermined his own momentum, but the real threat did make him breathless. Come, especially after the ceremony of Li Wufeng's enthronement, I am afraid that the threats he faces will become a reality. If you don't consider how to deal with it now, it is really called arrogance.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to be easy on me. It's the same for anyone who goes to Zhongzhou. It can't change the strategy set by Li Wufeng. It's more practical for us to spend more time thinking about how to deal with possible wars. We still occupy In the two prefectures of Huayang and Yushan in the east of Sanjiang, intelligence shows that the people in these two places have shown signs of instability for more than a month. It seems that these guys are counting on Li Wufeng to change their appearance as soon as he takes the throne."
"Well, we still have to pay attention to the necessary etiquette, not to mention sending a capable person to Zhongzhou can also understand the reality of Li Wufeng's side, and see if there are other ways to avoid this war?" Bi Xili pondered for a while before finally starting. Mouth.
"Your Majesty?!" He was so shocked that he almost stood up. The hesitation and melancholy on Lei Juetian's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by an extremely cold and gloomy look: "Your Majesty wants to use Huayang and Yushan in exchange for Will Li Wufeng stop?"
Bixili did not avoid the gaze of his Minister of State, but silently poured himself a cup from the teapot placed on the tea seat, took a careful sip and said: "Besides this method, is there any other way to prevent the outbreak of war? ?”
"Does Your Majesty think that even if we withdraw from Huayang and Yushan, we can avoid the outbreak of this war?" Lei Juetian's tone at this time became extremely provocative, like a bird spitting out its core and watching the prey about to attack. Viper.
Putting down the teapot leisurely, Bixili's eyes were calm as usual, "Maybe not, but I think it can at least delay the time of this battle. If it can buy us two or three years, we can completely digest Ronisia, maybe we have a chance It will be bigger, and now, although we can cause a lot of losses to Li Wufeng in Huayang and Yushan, it will drag down a considerable part of our energy there, and the public opinion will be more unfavorable to us. And I am afraid that Li Wufeng will not choose to fight there. When we fight, Yue Jing and Ronisia are probably the battlefields he wants."
