Half a year passes quickly, enough time for summer to turn into winter.
Many things happened during this period, including the case of cheating in the imperial examinations for Emperor Daqian.
Even though a major examination was held later, many officials were screened.
But the court did not have enough people and was also busy with trading with the Huns.
Therefore, the marriage between Zhao Que and Xue Xuexuan was officially postponed to the autumn of the following year.
Duke Xue Da didn't say anything. He seemed to have been staying in his mansion these days and there was no movement.
Zhao Que and Xue Xuexuan didn't care either. Their friendship couldn't be explained by a ceremony.
However, when Zhao Que and Xue Xuexuan were traveling.
Because he couldn't stand rich businessmen who bullied men and women, he offended many people and was the subject of many assassination attempts.
In the end, the grandmaster attacked and killed him. Xue Xuexuan was not to be trifled with, but Jing Niu came out and solved the problem.
Just when the wealthy family was feeling complacent and thought the problem was completely solved.
It was completely wiped off the map.
However, Xue Xuexuan felt that she was too weak to protect Zhao Que, so she chose to continue practicing.
Zhao Que did not stop them because he felt that Dagan and the Xiongnu were about to launch a storm.
As the only daughter of Duke Xue Da, Xue Xuexuan's identity was not a Hun or any other ethnic group.
Even Xue Da's enemies tried to kill him but failed.
Then kill his daughter and let him experience the pain of losing a loved one.
Even in the Dagan court, there were people who wanted to take action against Xue Da.
Therefore, it is okay to let Xue Xuexuan leave the center of this vortex.
Zhao Que had arranged Xue Xuexuan's destination, which was Lingjiu Palace.
Today, the Child-Fairy of Tianshan is organizing the martial arts of the world and trying to break through to the level of heaven.
But Xue Xuexuan, who is gifted, went somewhere.
Safety is of course worry-free, and you can also learn a lot.
Zhao Que also returned to the capital. At this moment, there were still many corrupt officials in the capital who had not been killed.
These were people who had deceived Emperor Dagan so harshly that he was extremely angry and sentenced them to death by slicing.
The Great Emperor was quite particular. If he said lingchi, he would never behead someone.
Lingchi is also a technical job, and not everyone can do it. Lingchi people every day.
Those who carried out the executions were almost mentally ill. In this world, lingchi really means being cut into pieces thousands of times before the person dies.
This is not a fast pace. The people in the Heavenly Prison can wait until next year.
In the past, there would definitely be people coming to Zhao Que's mansion to beg for mercy, wanting Zhao Que to plead for mercy with the Emperor.
But today is different, because the friends and relatives who can plead for these people have already gone there first.
Of course, the impact of this incident goes far beyond this.
Another thing is that there are more down-and-out daughters from official families and fewer rich young men who spend money lavishly in brothels.
It made the entire building a lot quieter.
When those brothel madams saw Zhao Que, they felt like they had found their savior.
Because most officials now dare not spend money.
There is a severe crackdown now, and there are lingchi dramas at the market every day. How can anyone dare to be so blatant?
Aren't there no customers in these brothels? There are only a few people. If it were Zhao Que, he wouldn't be afraid of these.
Emperor Da Gan is now obsessed with alchemy because he can feel the embryonic form of the golden elixir, which makes him even less doubtful of Lu Sheng's words.
As for the eldest prince, he is now in high spirits.
He has officials at all levels and the most profitable factory under him, and he also has the Ming Cult and the Yan family to help with sales.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he tried to win over Lu Bu several times, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.
Compared with the second prince, the eldest prince is still extremely tolerant. At least he has not paid any attention to some of Lu Bu's presumptuous actions.
Of course, this may also be because I have been scolded by His Majesty the Great and the great scholars of the past since I was a child.
Zou Li kept telling him to change, so he naturally didn't care about his words and actions.
Now that the Second Prince has lost Lu Bu, his personality has improved a lot.
I also began to calm down and read military books day and night.
The Third Prince did not make any other moves, because he was waiting for the four supreme masters in Jiangnan to discover the trick and then strike a fatal blow.
The secret of the parchment scroll is extraordinary.
The Fourth Prince is now going crazy again. He doesn't like hunting anymore. Instead, he hides in the house and no one knows what he is studying.
Maybe he has some plans with the Netherworld Cult.
As for the Eighth Prince, besides his daily affairs, he is also looking for the key to the ruins.
But he didn't know what the ruins were.
He just heard from his master that a large part of his soul was sealed inside.
Back in the Central Plains, Zhang Wuji began to try to break through to the realm of heaven and man.
The remaining two sects and five schools were relatively obedient and began to reduce the number of disciples with bad character.
After that, he restrained the behavior of his disciples, and the whole Central Plains martial arts world changed from its former chaos and became better.
In the Northern Liang area, Chen Gong, Gao Shun and others chose to stalemate with Tubo.
Although we had the support of Da Gan, the terrain of Tubo was at a high altitude and we were unfamiliar with the area, so it was difficult to climb up.
However, Chen Gong's target was not Tubo at all, but the Qiang tribes scattered in various places in Qiang land.
In this way, we can train a ranger team with Bingzhou Wolf Riders as the core.
As for Shuzhong, Emperor Dagan invited the Huo family to attend the wedding, but was ruthlessly rejected.
That’s right, except for the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce which was considered as Zhao Que’s mother’s dowry, they had never touched it.
For others, Emperor Dagan was the culprit who killed their younger sister, so they were naturally upset when they saw it.
By the way, Zhao Que was also not well-received.
Of course, none of this really matters. What matters is that winter is here.
There is very little aquatic grass in the entire northern desert.
The winter in the Central Plains is difficult to survive, let alone the nomadic people further north.
Because of the Dagan trade, the various tribes were now able to exchange horses, cattle and sheep for some clothing and handicrafts.
But what about food? It's all controlled by Da Gan.
Although they can still survive this year, the Hun King is not a fool. He was surprised after experiencing the transactions during this period.
I also slowly realized that something was wrong.
That is, Dagan seemed to be infiltrating the culture and economy of the Xiongnu tribes bit by bit.
Maybe it won't take long, ten years? They will no longer have the power to resist.
Perhaps in a few decades, the entire northern desert will become a large horse farm, which made the Xiongnu king alert.
The leaders of several major tribes were gathered together.
The small tribes were not summoned because he felt that those small tribes could not see that far.
Still immersed in the dream of getting rich, he didn't realize that all this was just a bait set by Da Gan.
The longer they wait, the weaker their resistance will be.
