Due to the restoration of the empire's military strength in the north and west, and the fact that officials from the Grand Duke to the military department of the Principality of Jerok went to the imperial capital many times to request military assistance from the empire to fight against the threat from the Kaman Empire, and requested the imperial army At the appropriate time, he assisted the Jerok Army to regain the Jiama area occupied by the Kamans. The imperial minister of affairs, He Zhiqiu, also wrote many times to appeal for strong support to this most important friendly neighbor in the northern part of the empire.
Since the beginning of 694 in the continental calendar, the empire's military deployment in the west and north has been adjusted. The two main divisions of the Third Army of the Western Military District have moved north and are stationed not far from the border of the Jerok Principality, while the Northern Military District's Third Army has moved north and is stationed not far from the border of the Principality of Jerok. The Second Army also has a main division and another independent division that are simply stationed directly on the border between Beiyuan County and the Jerok Principality. From there, they can quickly advance into the hinterland of the Jerok Principality in just one day.
The Kaman people are deeply worried about this, because this adjustment of the empire's deployment not only makes the Principality of Jerok completely free from worries, but also has a strong backer. The Kaman occupying force in Jiama City of the Principality formed an encirclement situation, while Fielding in the Northwest Taixuan Mansion to the west has always had an ambiguous attitude, making the three elite divisions in his hands a decisive force in the region, allowing Kaman to The Man people felt like thorns on their backs, restless in sitting and lying down.
Only then did the Kaman Special Envoy’s trip to the Holy Cult realize the power of the Holy Cult. The Kaman people with a keen sense of smell were really willing to invest. The one-time investment was so huge that even the young master himself felt a little 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 Kaman people have an extremely sophisticated and profound person in charge, probably the prime minister who is known as the "founder of the iron-blooded policy" Gomez.
The strong man sat quietly in the carriage with his eyes closed and meditated. The master's letter already contained a countermeasure. The Kaman people are not good allies. Although their current target is the Principality of Jerok, once it is swallowed up, After losing the Jerok Principality, their ambitions for the northern territories of the empire will be exposed immediately. This is also the most troublesome issue for the Holy Church.
Forming an alliance can certainly provide huge help at the moment, which can make the power of the Holy Religion a substantial leap forward, but it will also bring huge negative effects. Once an incident breaks out, the Holy Religion can control a large area in the northern part of the empire in a short period of time. Territory? Will the Kaman people take advantage of the Holy Religion's unstable foothold and take advantage of it? Based on the mentality of the Kaman people, this possibility is too great. They will never be bound by those so-called treaties and agreements. There is no doubt about this. And what will be the attitude of the powerful Poole people? Will they have the same thoughts as the Kaman people
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man felt even more stressed. The master had been going north for almost two months. Although he was connected, even he didn't know the specific purpose of his going north. He only had a vague feeling that he must be related to the two big countries in the north. —Kaman has a relationship with Poole. Does the master still want to have face-to-face negotiations with the authorities in these two countries
The strong man shook his head. If that were the case, there would be no need for him to argue with the Kaman people's envoys here. Then what important matters did the master have in the past two months? In the letter, the master seemed to be very confident in negotiating with the Kaman and Pu people. However, a year ago, the master seemed to be worried that the Kaman and Pu people were too powerful compared to the Holy Church. He was worried that they He would break his promise after the initial victory of the Holy Cult, but there was no such concern in this letter. There must be some reason here. It seems that it will only become clear when the master comes back.
To be on the safe side, the strong man changed his residence immediately after seeing off the Kaman envoy. In his opinion, although the possibility of the Kaman people betraying him was almost non-existent, it was not in his interest to let an opponent with ulterior motives know his whereabouts. He would rather spend more effort on his character.
Looking out the window at the dark night, the strong man's mind turned to the south again. It seems that the gang in the south has also been very active recently, otherwise the junior brother would not have been heard from for so long. However, he is also full of confidence in his junior brother. With many years of experience and his extraordinary ability, he believes in him Be able to handle affairs in the south. Qiankun Dao? ! What kind of organization is this? Is it a secret group that aims to overthrow the Tanghe Empire like the Holy Religion? Or is it a spokesperson for some external forces? I really want to see how these people can actually stand up to the forces of the Holy Cult in the south!
The fact that Wu Feng was given a banquet by His Majesty the Emperor in person immediately caused an uproar in the court. Even several concubines attended the banquet. This was a rare encounter in many years. Now even a fool has figured out His Majesty the Emperor's holy will. Another consort. Will be produced soon! Moreover, he was a popular man in charge of the military and political power in the northwest counties of the empire and the northern Luzon region. This news immediately caused a sensation among the upper class society of the empire.
Nobles and ministers from all parties consulted each other one after another, asking how successful this matter was, because it was almost an open secret that the Thirteenth Princess of the Empire had a deep dislike for Li Wufeng, and the Thirteenth Princess openly revealed it in several public occasions. He expressed his contempt for Li Wufeng, and the marriage of the thirteenth princess had been widely circulated among the upper class 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 he should make the decision on the marriage himself, and His Majesty the Emperor readily agreed to her strange request. Now that there is such a turmoil, could it be that this is just a smokescreen? With the Thirteenth Princess's status, appearance and talent, it is a perfect match for Li Wufeng. But unfortunately, the Thirteenth Princess is not interested in Mr. Li. This is really a knot that is difficult to untie.
Soon there was news in the harem that the princess proposed to be married to Duke Li Wufeng, the Military and Political Envoy 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 princess will turn sixteen in the middle of this year and have her coming-of-age ceremony. Excluding the thirteenth princess, she is the most suitable candidate. Moreover, these seventeenth princesses are beautiful and have intelligent personalities. Although they are not old, they are very decent in dealing with others. The palace is very popular among the servants and has good reviews.
But an insider immediately retorted, saying that the third prince of the Dodon Kingdom met the Seventeenth Princess when he went to the imperial capital to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor last year. He was so shocked that he immediately asked the foreign affairs etiquette personnel to propose a marriage proposal to the Empire. At that time, His Majesty the Emperor There were also some emotions, but in the end, although the Seventeenth Princess declined on the grounds that she was underage, she did not say anything about it. She just said that she would consider it after the Seventeenth Princess became an adult.
The third prince of the Dodon Kingdom has never given up and is determined to marry a beautiful woman. In just six months, he has visited the imperial capital three times. You must know that although the third prince of the Dodon Kingdom is not the crown prince, if this marriage can be concluded, it will greatly promote the further development of relations between the two countries and will also be of great help in improving the increasingly severe situation in the northern part of the empire. So many officials in the diplomatic and military services supported the marriage.
Then there were rumors that His Majesty the Emperor intended to marry the Eighteenth Princess Situ Yuzhen, but it was immediately refuted by many people. The reason was that although the Eighteenth Princess was similar in age to the Seventeenth Princess, she was not even the same in appearance and literary talent. She is younger than the Seventeenth Princess, but her status is very different, and the Eighteenth Princess has never been favored by His Majesty the Emperor. If the eighteenth princess were to be married off to Li Wufeng, it might arouse dissatisfaction among the people in the northwest and northern Luzon regions.
Because the mother of the Eighteenth Princess was originally a popular singer in the imperial capital, His Majesty the Emperor had a romantic relationship with her during a private visit in the early years. Who knew that when the palace deacon was taking routine notes, he discovered that this popular singer was actually pregnant? She had a dragon seed, so she had to be brought into the palace and canonized as an ordinary concubine. At first, His Majesty the Emperor was attracted by her charming charm, but later she gradually fell out of favor, and because of her humble background, even the eighteenth princess was not loved by His Majesty the Emperor.
Finally, another piece of gossip spread among the nobles, saying that since there is currently no suitable princess to marry in the palace, His Majesty the Emperor has discussed with the concubines in the palace to select an outstanding and suitable girl from among the noble children of the imperial capital, including the royal family. The child was adopted as a goddaughter by His Majesty the Emperor and then married to Li Wufeng.
This news caused far more sensation and controversy in the upper class society of the empire than the previous ones. Many nobles and princes immediately took action to inquire about the accuracy of this news. Some even suggested that even if His Majesty the Emperor had not previously intended this, We must find a way to get His Majesty the Emperor to consider the feasibility of this plan.
While the entire upper class society in the imperial capital was in a noisy mess, the person involved in time was still enjoying a happy life leisurely without realizing it. It is already the end of the New Year, and street vendors are still shouting and trying to sell their goods in the last time of the year. Many shops on the street have closed early and are preparing to celebrate the new year. The sound of firecrackers continued one after another, and the children all received the New Year's money from their elders and began to squander the annual generosity extravagantly.
Every household has hung up various lanterns of different styles, and the entire imperial capital is enveloped in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere at this moment.
Wu Feng's mansion is also very lively. Although he moved in not long ago, with the efforts of the servants, the entire mansion has been cleaned up. Under the auspices of Charlotte and Gu Mingxia, in addition to the guards on normal duty, other guards They were all recruited to serve as free labor and arranged happily. Charlotte even cooked herself and carefully prepared the dishes to prepare 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 has not recovered yet. It is even difficult to walk. She had to sit in the lobby and direct everyone to prepare for celebrating this most important festival for the Tang people.
At this moment, Wu Feng rarely had a leisurely half day, sitting quietly in the study and thinking long and hard.
Another year has passed, but the situation is not at all easy. It is certain that he will be trapped in the imperial capital. Although outsiders can't see anything, he knows very well that if there is no big change in this. , I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will not allow him to step out of the imperial capital.
With a sneer on his lips, Wu Feng slowly picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and then slowly put the tea cup back on the table. Humph, let’s not talk about whether there are any changes. Even if the situation is calm, won’t you create changes? The empire is currently in crisis, and yet you still want to use such crude methods to control me. You look down on me, Mr. Li, so much.
The princess is getting married? Honey trap? This method is not very clever. Could it be that I, Li Wufeng, would give up my pursuit because of being trapped by a mere woman? Many touching tenderness and lingering scenes flashed before Wufeng's eyes. Although Li Wufeng was lustful, it seems that whether the saying that Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes is correct or not remains to be tested. Wu Feng grinned, showing his white teeth.
