According to the Di newspaper, this movement to reduce vassal status achieved very significant results.
The vast majority of feudal lords responded to the needs of current affairs and made wise self-sacrifice.
However, there are also a very few dissatisfied people who are still resisting to this day.
Objectively speaking, these people are all at the end of their tether, grasping for life-saving straws and struggling to breathe. Even if they are not suppressed, they will not be able to make any trouble.
In this newspaper, Qi Shaobao's personal contribution was specially acknowledged, but the specific contribution was not explained in detail.
In addition to the matter of reducing the vassal state, there was also a court report on foreign policy.
The letter roughly stated that the Great Feng Dynasty had adjusted its attitude toward Goryeo and Fusang to a state of hostility.
It also explicitly ordered that Chinese people could not trade, marry or have any form of exchanges with them, otherwise they would be punished with treason. In addition, the article also clearly mentioned that people from the two countries were prohibited from entering the territory of Dafeng.
In other words, the two sides began to completely break up with each other.
According to Qi Yu's estimation, Yin Jun must have managed to facilitate this matter after receiving his letter. It would be unlikely for anyone else to have done such a comprehensive job.
We support!
Qi Yu decided to immediately draft two relevant excerpts and send them to the central government to meet the needs of the times.
The first is to formally respond that King Jing Xian and others are currently undergoing labor reform in Qiongzhou Province, and so on.
The purpose is naturally to further defeat those foreign feudal lords who are lucky enough to do so, and to increase the prestige of the imperial court.
The second is to formally report Fuso's plan to unite with Goryeo to the imperial cabinet so that they can prepare for a rainy day and make corresponding preparations in advance.
In addition to the above, Qi Yu also implicitly expressed his appreciation for Jin Shang's governance, or in other words, Su Liu's "Government".
This does not mean that I am trying to flatter you, but I am sincerely expressing my affirmation.
Judging from the various policies promulgated after the opening of the printing press, Empress Dowager Su is indeed guiding the country in a good direction. This must be given explicit incentives.
As for its effectiveness, further observation is needed.
After sending the official document, Qi Yu then drafted a "praising" article.
The article said: Thanks to the sincere help of the Korean woman An Jang-geum, a group of Fusang thieves with ulterior motives were successfully killed...
This article is more than splendid but lacking in practical content. It just boasts about the results achieved without mentioning the specific reasons at all. It makes people read in a fog, knowing it but not knowing why.
Of course, this was Qi Yu's intention.
His purpose is very clear, which is to worsen the relationship between the two countries with unfounded lies. Therefore, he should mention as little as possible about the real situation.
Talking too much will lead to mistakes, the more mysterious the better.
Naturally, Qi Yu could not have guessed that his move had the unexpected effect of accidentally hitting the passenger car.
After learning the news, everyone in Korea firmly believed that it must be Qi Yuanzhen's fellow who told Qi Yu the secret.
So, they were so angry that they sent out a master assassin without hesitation, and then killed him immediately.
However, what does this matter have to do with Qi Yu?
Even if you find out in the future, it's impossible to avenge him?
Die in vain.
…
Time flies by quickly, and it’s mid-March in a blink of an eye.
At this time, Yin Tao was already pregnant, and her daily actions became slower and slower.
To be on the safe side, Liu Quan kept her at home to rest, fearing that too much activity would affect the fetal gas. In addition, she was given a steady stream of nutritious meals.
However, sitting at home every day will inevitably affect your mood.
Over and over again, how can such a small area not make people feel depressed?
Although she didn't say it, Yin Tao still felt a little unhappy in her heart.
This slight strangeness caught Qi Yu's eyes without missing a beat.
"Tao'er, why are you unhappy?"
"No...I'm fine!"
"Husband, I am a smart person with insight into every detail. I can taste the emotions contained in your every frown and smile."
"You, you'd better ask Sister Liu to find out what's going on. I'm not in the mood to serve you."
You see, I just said something casually and let out what was on my mind.
If you are in a bad mood, we have a trick!
Qi Yu chuckled and said mysteriously: "Tao'er, how about I tell you a great happy event?"
Yin Tao's beautiful eyes flashed when she heard this, and she asked curiously: "What's the big happy event?"
"Yesterday, didn't Qiaoyun come to our house to diagnose your pulse? She once told me in private that she seemed to hear two completely different fetal heart sounds from the stethoscope. However, the sounds are still quite different at the moment.
It is weak and cannot be completely determined.”
"Conclusion? What does this... mean?"
At this point, Qi Yu suddenly stopped talking and started laughing triumphantly.
But when this happened, Yin Tao couldn't help but feel a little itchy.
You said, how can you stop talking mid-sentence?
Isn't it intentional to make people feel anxious?
"Husband, stop being so secretive. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
"No! This time, I'm going to give you a small pass!"
"You bad guy!"
"..."
Seeing that her mood had improved slightly, Qi Yu made a hint.
"Tao'er, do you still remember that there was anything strange about the flying monkey during our Chinese New Year this year?"
"Weird?"
Yin Tao thought about it for a while and murmured to herself: "You mean... the double shot that night?"
"correct answer!"
"What... does this mean?"
"ah!!"
Yin Tao thought about it briefly and immediately came back to his senses.
Her beautiful eyes flashed and she trembled with excitement: "You mean, I'm having a sideways pregnancy?"
Parallel twins.
Qi Yu did not directly answer this question.
However, it is not difficult to see from his ecstatic expression that Shicai's answer is absolutely correct.
ah!
This is indeed a great happy event!
The Qi family is very thin, with only one biological child like Qi Xiao. If two of them can be added at once, it will definitely be more exciting than the four great joys in life.
Ancestor Meng Yin! God has mercy on you!
but!
Yin Tao is even more convinced that this is the result of good luck in a house that accumulates good deeds.
Previously, my husband had generously donated money during disaster relief in Huguang and saved thousands of people in times of crisis. In terms of this merit, he was no less than the ancient Shang sage Fan Li.
What’s more, Yongchuan’s dispersal of wealth a year ago was also a generous act of good deeds. If coupled with his governance achievements over the years, the amount of his merits has reached a very high level.
How could God not see such a profound virtue?
Therefore, people have to do more good deeds, and only in this way can they be favored by blessings.
Yin Tao became happy and hurriedly went to offer incense to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky to express her gratitude.
However, her happiness did not last long, and was soon suppressed by new entanglements.
Tell me, are these two children boys or girls?
Are they both men, or are they both women? Or are they a boy and a girl?
Oops, how can you guess this?
Qi Dalang was shocked when he saw this, and thought to himself: Oh no, Tao'er has actually fallen into the trouble of happiness again.
No, you have to try to divert her attention.
Since I feel so bored at home, why not go out for a walk with her.
Maybe her mood has improved?
Thinking of this, he made a suggestion: "Today, the sun is high, the wind is gentle, and it is such a pleasant spring, why don't you go out and enjoy it?"
"Oh? Husband, you want to go out with me for a spring outing?"
"Um……"
Seeing him nodding repeatedly, Yin Tao suddenly smiled and said, "It's okay to go out and relax, but I have a small condition."
"Are there any conditions for going out? Tell me, what are the conditions?"
"In the past, you once painted a portrait for Sister Liu when we went out for a spring outing. I was so jealous of it! Today, I want you to paint me a painting of the same style. Do you agree?"
Do you need to compare yourself with such a small thing?
That's all. Since we clearly advocate that everyone should be treated equally, how can we favor one over the other?
Qi Yu almost didn't think twice before he patted his chest and agreed.
