The people in the border towns have long been accustomed to sandstorms. Although there have been more recent times, fortunately they are not large and have little impact on their lives. Moreover, the sand and soil brought by these sandstorms are very different from before. In the past, it was just dry yellow sand that could be blown away by the wind. This time, they seemed to feel that the color of the land in front of their house was darker after the sandstorm.

Without the ruthless barbarians to do evil, and because they got benefits from farming and selling sheep, the people were in a good mood, so they didn't pay much attention to it. Only Xiaoxiao often walked around in the open space with her hands behind her back——

This is not an ordinary sandstorm, this is the sandstorm in XX poem hahahaha!

Originally, she was worried that people would not be able to grow the seeds if they were given out, but now, hey hey hey.

As long as she waits for a letter from the capital to make the final decision on the Jihu war, she and her parents will complete the task perfectly and return home happily together!

In the court hall of the capital, officials, both civil and military, were expressing their opinions.

Some said: "Your Highness is young and vigorous. He won by luck this time. What about next time? I can't pin my national destiny of Great Xia on that illusory luck, right?"

Some said: "It is said that you should not chase the enemy when you are poor. The murderer has already been defeated and this matter is over. Your Highness has to travel a long distance to pursue him to a border town. What's the point of this?"

Some said: "It's better now. We and Jihu are really at odds with each other. We could still have peace talks before, but now we really can't even have any peace talks!"

The emperor said nothing and sat on the dragon throne to let them talk.

A famous general couldn't stand listening: "According to your opinion, the fierce barbarians have repeatedly attacked our country. Not only should we not fight back, but we should also marry a princess with a smiling face and let them waste their time? Are they worthy? Is there something wrong with us?" "

The few civil servants who had just opened their mouths hesitated, feeling that it was humiliating to be told by a big boss that they had won. But when they wanted to refute, they couldn't find the words to say. It took them a long time to hold back a sentence: "Then the Third Highness can't just do it for his own military merit." If we don’t take the lives of the soldiers seriously, why do we have to fight with soldiers when we can clearly resolve the matter peacefully? How many people will die if we attack Jihu Border City!”

Prime Minister Shen looked sideways at the speaker: "Mr. Liu, did everything go through your head before you spoke? No matter how much you think about it, you still can't utter the words 'peaceful settlement'."

"Is this the first year that Fierce Hu invades our Daxia? Do you think they will stop when they get along? After we take a step back, do you think they will take a step back, or will they continue to jump on their noses and faces, stepping on us? Looking for a bottom line in terms of face?”

"You still want to get married. I remember that Mr. Liu has an unmarried daughter who is in her prime, right? How about letting your daughter go?"

Mr. Liu's conditioned reflex said: "No, no, absolutely not!"

Prime Minister Shen chuckled and sneered: "What's the matter? Your Majesty's princess can get married, but your daughter can't. Your daughter of the Liu family is more noble than the princess? Your daughter is not willing, so why do you ask the princess to get married?"

Mr. Liu's thoughts changed sharply: "No, no, it's just that my daughter has a low status. Even if she goes, I'm afraid she will make the other party feel that our Daxia doesn't pay enough attention to her. Besides, the princesses were born in the royal family and have read poetry and books since they were young. , deeply understands the righteousness, and understands that he should shoulder the important responsibilities of his family and country."

A newly promoted young official also laughed at this moment, and Master Liu shouted angrily: "Why are you laughing!"

The young official was neither humble nor overbearing: "I am laughing at the fact that our great country is being bullied right at our doorstep. Not only do some people dare not fight back, they are eager to send the noble princess to marry and beg for mercy. It would be embarrassing to send someone away, and they are worried about sending her away." The person who makes others humiliate does not have enough status, this is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!"

"How can you read poems and books and understand righteousness well? What's the matter? If you don't get married, you have read so many years in vain. If you don't want to marry the executioners who killed the people of Daxia, it means they don't understand the truth and have no family in their hearts?"

Prime Minister Shen sarcastically said: "Master Liu is so magnanimous. Being a civil servant is really an underachievement. It is better to just change your clothes and go to the temple to sit and worship like a Bodhisattva."

Mr. Liu was speechless, and Prime Minister Yan coughed lightly. Someone immediately came forward to follow him: "You can't say that, everything must be done to the end. Don't we also agree to support the food, grass, troops and horses to allow His Highness to retreat from the enemy? But since he has succeeded , why do we have to go deep into Jihu?"

"My lords, you just feel sorry for the soldiers who lost their lives because of this."

Prime Minister Shen continued: "Are you sad and sorry? The soldiers have been stationed there for many years and have never had enough food and grass. When they were starving and freezing, why didn't Mr. No one remembers the pain?"

Mr. Xie was not convinced: "Then I am a civil servant, so I can't help with the border war. With Prime Minister Shen's words, I haven't seen you donate your property to help!"

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Prime Minister Yan knew he was going to suffer. Sure enough, Prime Minister Shen raised his eyebrows high and seemed to straighten his clothes before he said: "I'm ashamed. I am honest and honest. Although I don't stingy my family wealth, I can only make a drop in the bucket." , but fortunately, I gave birth to a son who is relatively useful, and I found a new high-yielding rice seed. According to the yield of that rice seed, it only takes three years. In our Great Xia, no one, no matter the people or the soldiers in the garrison, will go hungry again! "

If they lose, as long as the new rice seeds appear, their Yan family will lose completely!

Prime Minister Yan gritted his teeth and heard Prime Minister Shen being very proud: "Ah, by the way, Your Majesty, I received a letter from Xijiang County a few days ago, saying that the rice seeds are growing well and that in a few months, there will be another great harvest!"

The emperor's ugly face finally relaxed.

At this time, Mr. Xie couldn't hold it back and muttered again: "Prime Minister Shen also knows that the harvest will be a matter of the coming year, and it hasn't been seen yet. There is nothing to brag about."

At this moment, someone outside the door shouted——

"Report! Your Majesty, the battle report has arrived! Jihu is defeated and seeks peace!"

The emperor seemed to be in a dream. He was stunned for a long time and did not come back to his senses. Prime Minister Shen was the first to smile and said: "Master Xie, did you hear that? Daxia wins, fierce Hu loses." He also specifically emphasized: "What just happened is happening now. .”

After saying that, he lifted up his official robe and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, this is God's blessing for me in Great Xia!"

Mr. Xie: ...

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, God bless Daxia!"

The echoes of the ministers echoed through the hall, but no one knew what they were thinking.

I don’t know who couldn’t see the joyful appearance of Prime Minister Shen and the others, so he insisted on ruining the atmosphere at this moment: “Your Majesty, even though the Third Highness won by luck this time, he must not act impulsively like this again in the future. There is no output, and it will not be able to help at all if there is a war. We have to travel long distances to deliver food, which is a lot of hard work, losses and expenses."

The emperor's brows furrowed again as soon as he relaxed. He suspected that these envoys did not have full brains when they were born, and were not aware of their tastes at all. He was just happy, why must he be unhappy at this time?

At this time, Prime Minister Shen coughed lightly and said with a smile that made the strict party members panic: "Ah, speaking of this, I almost forgot, Your Majesty, I have some good news to tell you."
