Chapter 449 Both Vomited Blood
In the days that followed, Xiao Jingheng's life became even busier.
Because of the surrender of the Hu tribe, Mongolia, Zhuyin, Xiliang and other foreign countries and tribes all felt insecure, fearing that Xiao Jingheng would use the same example he used against the Hu tribe to deal with them.
Therefore, they are prepared for a rainy day and there are always alliances and collusion, whether overtly or covertly.
Xiao Jingheng had planted his own spies in various countries and departments.
Therefore, the news of their private interactions soon reached the emperor.
In order to mediate the conflicts among countries and deal with these thorny issues, the recent morning court sessions have almost always been delayed by more than two hours. Even after the morning court sessions, Xiao Jingheng kept summoning important officials from various places to the Chaoyang Palace to discuss solutions to the matter.
After being so busy all day, I want to relax completely at night.
Therefore, he had to deal with state affairs during the day and visit his concubines at night, and he could only sleep for two hours a day.
However, since he didn't feel tired at all, Xiao Jingheng didn't take these things to heart at all.
His arrogance and self-importance made him think that he was the Son of Heaven, the chosen one of heaven, and that the strength of his dragon body was naturally incomparable to that of ordinary people.
More than two months passed like this. After the joint efforts of capable people across the country, the unrest that had arisen in various countries and regions was finally curbed in its infancy.
On this year's New Year's Eve, Xiao Jingheng was very pleased and held a grand banquet to celebrate.
At the banquet, the newcomers prepared their own specialties in order to please the audience.
In addition to Ru Ge, there is another rookie who is very much liked by Xiao Jingheng.
That was Jing Changzai who had just performed the Hu Xuan dance and won applause from the whole audience.
Jing Changzai was not outstanding in either appearance or figure, and her family was just the largest wine merchant in Kyoto. Her father used money to buy a small official position, which gave her the opportunity to enter the palace for selection.
The Qi Dynasty distinguished the people from different ranks, strictly dividing them into "local farmers, merchants and industrialists".
No matter how rich and influential a businessman is, even if he becomes as wealthy as Wei Linlan's family, he will still not be welcomed by others.
With such a poor family background, it was natural that Jing Changzai could not be of any help.
The reason why she was favored was probably because she was as soft as a puddle of water.
Her every move and gesture is full of charm. To put it nicely, she is enchanting. To put it bluntly, she is a fox reincarnated who has learned the skills of a brothel girl.
Zhaohua once heard Xiao Yinzi jokingly say that whenever Jing Changzai served the emperor in bed, her delicate voice was like the cry of a phoenix at Kunshan, which was so delicate that the servants who were on night watch would get goose bumps all over their bodies.
Today she is also thoughtful.
Because her family is a wine merchant, the wine and drinks at tonight's banquet were all brewed by her several months in advance, just to entertain everyone.
At this moment, Xiao Jingheng invited everyone to raise their glasses and drink the wine together to celebrate the peace in the coming year.
After Zhaohua drank a full cup, he wiped the stain with a handkerchief.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Ning Wanshuang and Rong Yue sitting in the hall, and they both cast their eyes on her.
There was worry in their eyes, and Rong Yue even stole a glance at Xiao Jingyan after looking at Zhao Hua.
Zhao Hua lowered his head to glance at the empty wine cup. The wine in the cup was just ordinary osmanthus wine, nothing unusual.
Zhao Hua was wondering why Ning Wanshuang and Rong Yue were looking at her like that.
The next moment, a man coughed violently from the hall.
Zhao Hua quickly looked in the direction of the sound.
Seeing that it was Xiao Jingyan who was holding his chest and coughing non-stop,
After coughing violently, he actually coughed up a mouthful of blood!
Everyone watching was horrified, and the whole hall was in commotion for a moment.
Xiao Jingheng also asked anxiously: "What happened to Sixth Brother?"
Unexpectedly,
As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach suddenly churned and he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Suddenly, everything went black, and he fell on his back on the table, unconscious...
