The next day, the news of Su Daji's pregnancy spread throughout the palace in an instant, and then spread to the entire Chaoge.
Many high-ranking human ministers knew Su Daji's identity. People speculated what this son would bring to the human race if he were born. Some even thought of Emperor Yu's son, Xia Qi, the first generation who founded the Xia Dynasty. king.
Under the surging undercurrent, some ministers even wanted to write a letter to abolish Su Daji's position as a noble concubine, thinking that if the mother's status was too high, the baby might not be reconciled to the status of a bastard, and one day it would threaten the rule of the human race.
However, the demon tribe in Chaoge behaved quite calmly. Even the Meishan brothers did not say anything. After all, the demon tribe is just a general term. If they were not a race, they would not have the feeling of being connected by the same fate.
It is precisely because of the cold-bloodedness of the demon clan that the human race will finally defeat the demon clan and become the only protagonist in the world.
Compared to the fierceness of the human ministers and the calmness of the demon forces, the palace was much more lively. The concubines, represented by the queen, sent gifts one after another, and even the newly joined Princess Longji sent some gifts.
Emperor Xin also attached great importance to this child, and even specially called the Great Witch Zhu to perform divination for the child. Now the Great Witch Zhu was already begging for help from the King of Human Beings, so naturally he said all kinds of good things and even chose a child for the child. What a nice name, Geng.
After hearing this, Di Xin was silent for a long time, and then said, "If this child is a boy, let's call him Geng."
Su Daji was naturally very happy, but she had a request, saying that the Shouxian Palace was empty and she wanted Hu Ximei to come and live here.
Di Xin thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
So Hu Ximei, who had been banned for many days, finally moved. When the two sisters met, they naturally hugged each other and cried, and all the grudges naturally disappeared.
Su Daji's place had just calmed down when the annual Spring Festival came.
Because this was the first year after Emperor Xin returned from his expedition, it was naturally very lively, and the entire Chaoge was decorated with lanterns and festoons.
During the court song, there was the sound of firecrackers everywhere. A certain minister who did not open his eyes once told Emperor Xin that the firecrackers were smoky and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur, and could easily cause fires. Children There were also many cases of people being injured by bombs, so he suggested that Emperor Xin abolish firecrackers and replace them with a civilized way of celebrating the New Year.
As soon as the proposal came out, Di Xin didn't say anything. He asked him to take the memorial and read it out in the street. If he could get the support of a thousand people, he would naturally consider it.
As a result, this indifferent minister actually ran to the street to read out the message.
But before he was even halfway through reading, rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were thrown over, and many children directly picked up stones. If the soldiers had not arrived in time, the minister would have been stoned to death.
Since then, the minister has become famous in Chaoge. He is like a rat crossing the street. Everyone shouts and beats him, especially in his house. Every time stones come in, he becomes impatient. In the end, there is no way. , can only request external transfer.
Emperor Xin readily agreed and drove him to a remote place. It is said that when he left, the people in the city were like the god of plague. The victorious people immediately cheered.
From then on, no minister dared to make similar suggestions.
"Your Majesty, what the minister who made the suggestion said makes sense."
At this time, Di Xin and Kong Xuan stood on the tower, watching all this as if they were watching a play.
"Mr. Kong doesn't know something. For the people at the bottom, everything they go through every year is like suffering. For them, the only time they can really relax is the Chinese New Year. Those self-righteous aristocrats spend every day
Their lives are ten thousand times better than those of ordinary people. For them, the Chinese New Year is just a dispensable time, even a time for trading gifts.”
"Just because the nobles hate the smell of sulfur, if they have to deprive the people of their last bit of happiness for a year, how can they live up to their wishes if they become the king alone?"
"It turns out that all the king's thoughts are about the common people, just the king. Although there are twelve nobles in this Chaoge, if they are all overthrown, what will the king rely on?"
Kong Xuan actually asked a fatal question. At this time, Emperor Xin was just a human king. In other words, Emperor Xin was also a noble, and he was the largest aristocratic group in the Yin and Shang Dynasties.
, this is actually fundamental.
To overthrow the Twelve Nobles and establish a new aristocratic group is not essentially different from changing dynasties.
Di Xin actually knew better. No matter how talented the emperors in later generations were, they would not be able to see through this. For this reason, the fatalism of the three-hundred-year dynasty was bullshit in Di Xin's opinion.
The real reason is that it was unable to reform itself, and eventually it fell together with the dynasty.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the emperors of later generations were inferior to each other and were eventually troubled by various problems, but it also has something to do with these nobles.
Rather than being overthrown by others, it is better to overthrow yourself and start over again. If you succeed, you will create a new dynasty, and if you fail, you will never be restored.
This is the solution that Di Xin found during the calamity.
Although Emperor Xin's entry stated that the national fortune of the Yin and Shang Dynasties was still more than 10 million, and the life span was an astonishing 1,100 years, he knew that these would be useless in the calamity, and he would probably die without knowing how.
In this case, before the calamity really started, Di Xin thought about reforming himself, making a complete reform and doing something crazy.
"The king's courage is unprecedented. I just want to remind the king that too much is too little. The powerful army that the king relies on cannot solve political affairs in many cases."
What Kong Xuan meant was that if these civil servants could not be made to surrender, I am afraid that the real reform would not be successful.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Kong. After the new year, you will go on an expedition. I am here to wish you a triumphant return."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome."
After saying that, a bright light rose up, and then Kong Xuan disappeared.
"It seems that Kong Xuan's strength has improved again."
After receiving Nanming Lihuo, Kong Xuan's strength naturally improved, and Di Xin left with satisfaction.
However, Emperor Xin did not expect that it was precisely because Kong Xuan obtained Nanming Lihuo that Huang Feihu's army perished in the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the south. The cause and effect was planted at this time.
In Huang Guifei's West Palace, the lights were brightly lit. It turned out that Huang Guifei's child had grown remarkably well, and in just a few months, he was able to turn over.
This made Huang Guifei overjoyed, and she kept smiling in the West Palace.
Di Xin walked into the West Palace and immediately saw a warm scene.
"Why is the king here?"
Huang Guifei was a little surprised and stood up quickly. Di Xin took off his coat, rubbed his hands, and quickly hugged the child.
"Ning'er! Come to Abba."
Huang Guifei was originally a military officer. Although she suffered some hardships during pregnancy, her child was well raised and chubby, obviously fatter than Concubine Yang's Jinger.
"Abba!"
Ning'er actually opened her mouth and shouted, which made Di Xin so happy that he directly ordered all the servants and maids in the West Palace to be rewarded.
Of course, Emperor Xin also stayed in the West Palace that night. Although Huang Guifei did not value this, it has always been Emperor Xin's rule to share the rain and dew equally, and he would not be biased.
Having said that, if I marry a few more, I'm afraid I won't even have free time in the future.
