Along the way, the roads the carriage passed through didn't seem to be very smooth.
It wasn't until the early morning of the third day when the two of them got out of the carriage at the entrance of the palace that the ecstatic sounds in the carriage stopped.
After waiting for a while, Su Yue, with a cheerful expression on her face, got out of the car first and gave the man driving the carriage a satisfied look in front of her.
Then, he took out a small sachet from his pocket.
There were ten taels of silver in it.
The income of a man who can own a horse and work as a groom is actually quite high among the common people, but even so, these ten taels of silver are his income for nearly a year.
At this moment, after seeing these ten taels of silver, I couldn't help but bow down and thank you.
During this period, a person got out of the middle of the carriage again.
There is no doubt that it is Xia Yan with two dark circles under his eyes.
Xia Yan touched the panda-like bags under his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"It seems that sometimes those seemingly weak prey are the real hunters..."
Hearing this, Su Yue had a bad smile on her face, "Husband, I don't even know what you are talking about. I am a weak little girl~~"
Looking at Su Yue, Xia Yan swallowed and stopped talking on this topic. Instead, he picked her up and jumped into the palace.
The guards of the palace were still the same as when he left, and no one except his father-in-law noticed him at all.
At this moment, Eunuch Yu was stunned for a moment after seeing Xia Yan, and then looked at Xia Yan with some confusion.
"Your Majesty, which primitive tribe have you joined?"
However, some primitive tribes like to paint their faces with weird colors to show their uniqueness.
But in this vast world, the tribe that paints its eye sockets black should be considered unique, right?
Xia Yan obviously didn't want to continue with this issue, so he asked his father-in-law with an ugly look on his face.
"Where's the psycho?"
"Ahem... I'm sleeping in your bed..."
"Did he do anything while I was away?"
Hearing this, Eunuch Yu coughed a few times in embarrassment and touched his head.
"Otherwise...you can ask him yourself..."
After hearing this, Xia Yan felt a bad feeling in his heart.
Could it be that the reason why I accomplished my mission was because of this god?
With strong disbelief, Xia Yan found Shen Jingbing.
Since it was still dark at this time, preparations for court had not yet begun, so Shen Jingbing was still sleeping in the room.
While he was sleeping, Xia Yan grabbed him, his eyes seemed to flash with anger.
"Tell me, what did you do these days when I was away?!"
Being hit so suddenly, Shen Jingbing's blood pressure soared and he almost flew into the sky.
But fortunately before ascending to heaven, Shen Jingbing saw that the person coming was Xia Yan, so he quickly returned to reality.
First, he cried in front of Xia Yan and told how he had helped Xia Yan and worried about it these days, etc., and then started to talk about himself. He had been exhausted recently and wanted to return to his army and become a little soldier.
Naturally, Xia Yan was too lazy to listen to these bullshit, and directly held Shen Jingbing's ears.
"Point."
Shen Jingbing's ear hurt from being pulled, and Shen Jingbing let out a "ouch", and then began to describe what he had done in the past month in a slightly depressed tone.
Shen Jingbing gave a very detailed account, such as killing He Shen, lifting all restrictions on the vassal, or promulgating all laws that were beneficial to the people and beneficial to trade, etc.
There was no sense of pride on Shen Jingbing's face.
It seemed that in his mind, these things he did were just a small effort and were not worthy of mentioning.
At the same time, he didn't have the slightest fear.
Because he believed that this emperor who had a high reputation among the people must be a wise king.
The decisions he made were all good things for the people and the country, and he couldn't help but see that.
However, this is indeed the case.
Xia Yan fell silent after hearing this.
He just stood there and didn't say another word.
Looking at Shen Jingbing in front of him, he knew that he had seen the wrong person again.
But this time I was even more wrong.
In the past, I could still find reasons for my failures and say it was bad luck.
But as for this, I didn't stick to my position at all. I just went out and let such a person take my place.
Well now, everything has settled.
According to what Shen Jingbing said, his court should have changed a lot now.
In the surrounding area, Daxia has now become a famous big country.
Moreover, after this mission is completed, Daxia's military strength will once again rise to a huge level.
Economically, the export of playing cards and Chinese seeds brought unimaginable profits to Daxia.
As for border defense, let alone that.
At the beginning, I just wanted to have two sons of tigers and wolves on the edge of Lake City who could rebel at any time, so I sent Zhuge Liang, Huo Qubing, Di Renjie and other people with real strength to join the feudal clan far away.
This has become a reason for them to expand wildly.
To capture ten cities, I think these three gods must have contributed a lot.
As for the restraints, now that the door has been opened, I'm afraid there is no reason to seal it up anymore.
Opposite him were hundreds of courtiers.
At first, I could suppress it forcefully, but now that the hole has been opened, how can I suppress it?
Strong military, prosperous economy, peaceful country and people, these words are all very good, but they are so dazzling when it comes to Xia Yan.
If this continues, how can this country be destroyed?
Almost no nearby country can directly resist Daxia.
But now that the world is prosperous, there is no good way to make people rebel.
There is no doubt that it is extremely difficult for me to complete my mission here.
For the first time, Xia Yan felt powerless.
I have obviously tried my best, but still got nothing.
If this was the case at the beginning, it would be okay. It would not be impossible for him to live here with Su Yue if he gives up his mind.
But I wasted a wish.
Originally, Xia Yan still hoped to return to his previous life.
Otherwise, he would not keep thinking of ways to subjugate the country like this.
Not to mention that he would not wish to return to his previous life with Su Yue after his country is destroyed.
But what the hell now.
Everything was prepared, but the country could not be destroyed?
Going back to the previous life, either the country or the people would perish. Now it seems that the country's perdition has become the least likely option?
Tired! Xia Yan is really tired.
I am very disappointed with this summer.
Still holding Shen Jingbing's hand in his hand, Xia Yan fell into confusion for a moment.
