The first news that spread among the people in the capital was that the Great Gan Special Envoy had been killed.
The streets and alleys, restaurants and teahouses were filled with discussions.
"Good boy! His Majesty actually killed the Great Qian Dynasty's special envoy. The sun had really risen from the west!”
"Isn't that so? Back then, when His Majesty punished King Chi because of the Great Qian Dynasty's special envoy, King Chi had been unable to recover from the setback ever since. He indulged himself in sensual pleasures and ignored other matters. How many years had it been?”
"King Chi probably never dreamed that the Great Qian Special Envoy would die at the hands of His Majesty.”
Ever since Emperor Li was obsessed with the Empress of Da Qian, the Li Dynasty had been unable to raise their heads in front of Da Qian.
His Majesty had already become a subordinate of the Great Qian Empress, so how could the others have a say in this?
Therefore, not only among the ministers, but also among the common people, they were also holding back their anger.
A eunuch from the outer court. Dali has been in the industry for a thousand years. What's wrong with scolding a Second Prince?
He didn't know that His Majesty was so foolish and shameless that he actually made the Red King apologize to the eunuch.
The death of the Great Gan Special Envoy was a happy event for the people.
The teahouse was instantly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
At this moment, a vigorous and powerful middle-aged man's voice sounded.
"It is good that Your Majesty killed the eunuchs, but Da Qian is not easy to deal with!”
The warning was like a bucket of cold water poured on those who were still happy that they had vented their anger.
Everyone was speechless and turned to look at the person who spoke.
The person who spoke was Tie Laosan, the head of the Flying Dragon Escort Agency in the capital.
He traveled between Da Qian and Da Li all year round to provide protection for the merchants.
It could be said that every businessman who wanted to do business in Da Qian knew Chief Escort Tie.
It was also due to his frequent visits to Da Qian that he understood Da Qian very well.
"So it's Chief Escort Tie. I've heard a lot about you!”
A young man cupped his fists at Tie Laosan and asked.
"Chief Escort Tie travels back and forth to Da Qian all year round, so you must have a deep understanding of Da Qian. If the Li Dynasty and the Great Qian Dynasty really fight, what will happen?”
The answer was clear to everyone-the Li Dynasty would definitely lose!
One was gradually rising in the west, while the other was sunrise in the east. How could they fight?
However, the young man and everyone present still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
After all, it was his own country. As the saying went, if one flourished, they would prosper. If one suffered, they would suffer together.
The other teahouse officials shouted one after another.
"Chief Escort Tie, tell us what will happen if Great Gan really attacks us?”
Chief Escort Tie stood up and cupped his fists at the man and the others.
He poured a large glass of wine and downed it in one gulp.
"Forget it. Since everyone thinks so highly of me, I'll respectfully obey and tell everyone my personal opinion.”
"Dali has been stable for a thousand years. It relied on the unity of the upper and lower levels, the bravery of the monarch and the courage of the generals, and the unity of the people!”
"But now, Your Majesty…"
He wanted to say that the Emperor was fatuous, but even as a person of the Green Forest, he was still under the jurisdiction of the yamen, so he did not dare to speak nonsense.
The topic changed to the current situation of Da Qian.
" I just returned from Da Qian a month ago and happened to meet the general of Da Qian training his troops. That scene was simply breathtaking. On the other hand, the Li Dynasty is a different story."
Chief Escort Tie pointed at the shoes and everyone smiled knowingly.
There was a garrison in the capital, and its general said that he would bring his subordinates to train.
When they came back from training, they saw that there wasn't even a speck of dust or dirt on their shoes.
It was spotless, as if it had just left the house.
Later on, he found out that the general had brought his soldiers to build a regiment.
Yes! He brought his soldiers to the most famous brothel in the capital to hone their marksmanship.
After the matter was exposed, this general and the garrison became a joke in everyone's mouths.
However, not only did His Majesty not blame the general, but he even said that it was a general rewarding the soldiers. It was not a big deal.
Chief Escort Tie's words could be summarized into one thing.
Great Gan had a strong army and was united.
The Li Dynasty was declining day by day, and the morale of the army was unstable.
If they attacked, the Li Dynasty would definitely lose, and it would be a miserable defeat.
"But Da Qian is really going too far! If you ask me, we have to fight!"
"That's right. Dali has been in Jianye for a thousand years, while Da Qian has only been in Jianye for a few years.”
Some boorish men did not understand the situation and were determined to fight for justice for Dali.
He was still completely immersed in the glory of the Li Dynasty threatening the world and holding the fort in the center.
He could only maintain his glory, but he had already changed to a new person.
"As the saying goes, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. The foundation of Dali Dynasty that has been built for a thousand years is still there. If Your Majesty is wise, it will not be a problem for us to take down Great Qian in less than five years!”
Chief Escort Tie was not exaggerating at all.
The root of the decline of Dali's national strength was not in the military or the people.
However, since the Emperor had no interest in politics, the people below were naturally happy to see the Emperor like this.
They were always slacking off and didn't want to make progress, which was why there was the absurd practice of " training troops in brothels " in the capital of Dali.
"That's right! His Majesty was really difficult to explain in a few words!”
"Sigh! His Majesty is obsessed with the beauty of the Empress of the Great Qian Dynasty and has destroyed the empire of the Li Dynasty!”
"Stupid and incompetent, lustful and muddle-headed, and ruined the great cause of Dali for a thousand years!”
"One soldier, one general, one country! The first fatuous ruler in history!"
All the resentment was finally gathered on His Majesty.
In the beginning, everyone restrained themselves, but the more they talked, the more excited they became.
He called her a fatuous ruler!
He kept calling her a lecher!
The teahouse owner was so frightened that he quickly came out and shouted for them to stop.
"Everyone! Watch your words! Watch your words! This is a crime that requires execution!"
If you don't want to live, I still want to live!
Gathering a crowd to criticize Your Majesty, calling you a fatuous ruler and a lecherous person, it's more than enough to punish you for a crime of disrespect.
Only then did the people in the teahouse slowly calm down and discuss in low voices.
He scolded the most incompetent monarch in the past thousand years.
The noise in the teahouse slowly died down, but the same scene was happening all over the capital.
From restaurants and teahouses to roadside stalls and river ferry.
They were all discussing animatedly. Without exception, they were all denouncing the incompetent ruler for ruining the Li Dynasty!
Just as everyone was discussing the death of the Great Gan Envoy and the possible reaction of the Great Gan Empire in the future…
A document was sent out from the Kong family's ancestral land, and another matter was brought to everyone's attention.
"What is it? Not only did His Majesty kill the officials of the Kong family, but he also wanted to attack the descendants of the Supreme Sage, Confucius. Could it be that this fatuous ruler wanted to end the bloodline of the Sage?”
