Died of old age, and you tell me this is a life simulation?

The closer I get to Chang'an, the less I think about other things.

It had been nearly two years since they last met, and she really missed him terribly.

Song Yuzhi and the other two had no objection to this, because at this time, they also had no desire to travel.

After all, when it comes to their own future, it is difficult for girls to remain calm.

With different thoughts in mind, Anche gradually drove into the gate of Chang'an.

An hour later.

Able to enter the Daqian Palace.

Shi Feixuan observed for a moment.

This palace is obviously more magnificent and solemn than the one in Jinling.

However, Shi Feixuan didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter.

It’s different in the past.

At first, she didn't know how powerful Daqian was, and she thought that if the construction of a country's capital was too excessive, it would easily deplete national strength and cost the people a lot of money. But after truly understanding Daqian's background, she no longer had such thoughts.

Especially now, after several years of development, let alone expansion and renovation, even building a new capital from scratch is nothing for Daqian, a country with strong national strength and rich cultural heritage.

not to mention......

During the reign of the Daqian Emperor, there was very little corvee labor, and most people were employed for pay.

The people are happy to see this kind of project because it makes them money and they are guaranteed to have enough food to eat, which is a good job.

No matter what, it cannot be called a waste of manpower. As for the loss of money, it is just a drop in the bucket compared to the mountains of money and grain in the national treasury.

Shi Feixuan just cares about the people of the world, but she doesn't think that even this kind of thing is wrong.

Soon, led by female officials and clerks, they arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Shi Feixuan had already changed into a palace dress and removed the veil on her face, her beauty was even more elegant and extraordinary than before.

There is no need to say how happy we are to meet again here.

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 651: Each Discusses His Own Matter? Remarkable Results! Troop Rotation! Second Great Expedition! Qin Uprising!

Evening.

Shi Feixuan snuggled in Fang Han's arms, her blushing face showing a hint of shyness.

Fang Han's eyes were gentle, and he was somewhat reluctant to let go of this fairy master who was as elegant as a fairy and had a holy temperament.

The taste is indescribable!

Shi Feixuan pursed her lips and called softly: "Your Majesty..."

Fang Han smiled: "What's wrong?"

Shi Feixuan explained the situation of Song Yuzhi, Song Yuhua, and Dugu Feng in detail, and then said, "I think all three of them are good. If Your Majesty is interested, you may... take them into the harem."

Fang Han didn't care too much about it. He just nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Since you are their master, why don't you let them live with you first?"

Shi Feixuan blushed and said with a slightly embarrassed look: "Your Majesty, such a relationship cannot be taken seriously."

Fang Han smiled and hugged the fairy tighter: "What can't be taken seriously? No problem, just stay here for now and we'll make a reservation later."

"Um......"

Shi Feixuan was too busy to care about anything else at this moment.

Close your eyes.

Breathing is slightly rapid.

Three days later.

Song Yuzhi and the other two were arranged to live together in a palace.

It was also on this day that the three of them finally met Shi Feixuan again.

But this time when they met, they were all shocked and then stunned.

Song Yuzhi stared at Shi Feixuan with eyes wide open, wondering why her master had always disliked her calling him "master". Now, this is what was happening.

If this really happened, should she call him Master or Sister?

Calling him Master is not polite.

Calling her sister feels weird.

Song Yuhua and Dugu Feng were also stunned, with different expressions.

The former was also somewhat at a loss.

After all, how should we discuss this relationship in the future?

We can't just talk about our own opinions, right?

Dugu Feng is a little more bland.

Because he was born into the Dugu clan, his ancestors had Hu blood, so he did not attach much importance to moral principles and ethics.

In her opinion, it was just a master-disciple relationship, so what was the big deal?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Song Yuzhi and Song Yuhua. Seeing how flustered they both looked, he secretly felt that they were making a fuss out of nothing.

Shi Feixuan's expression was also rather awkward. She slightly avoided the incredulous looks from Song Yuzhi and Song Yuhua and said softly, "His Majesty...has approved this matter. You will stay in the palace for now, and we will make arrangements for you later."

"Yes, Master."

Song Yuzhi responded subconsciously.

But he quickly came to his senses and looked stunned.

Is it appropriate to continue shouting like this?

He looked at Song Yuhua for help.

Song Yuhua: “…”

I thought to myself, don't look at her, she doesn't know how to shout appropriately.

Dugu Feng, on the other hand, responded by bowing promptly and still calling him Master.

Shi Feixuan was distressed when she saw this. She sighed slightly and said, "You can call me whatever you want, but..."

"If there are outsiders here, you still have to be cautious, understand?"

The three of them heard this and had different thoughts.

But no matter what the idea was, he immediately agreed.

Back to the world affairs.

The first two months of the sixth year of Daqian.

The territory was expanded again.

Under the immense pressure of 50,000 elite troops on the border, and with the personal persuasion of Fu Cailin, a spiritual leader with great prestige among the government and the people, the King of Goguryeo finally chose to surrender and join Daqian after weighing the pros and cons.

This triggered a series of chain reactions, and many neighboring countries followed suit to follow the trend.

In this way, except for the powerful ones such as the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks who did not submit, the rest all made their choices.

It had no choice but to do so.

It is true that the fighting power displayed by Daqian is too incredible.

In just two months, they annexed all of the territory of the Sui Dynasty. It was simply... terrifying! Faced with the indescribably vast empire of Daqian, who would dare to test the sharpness of its weapons?

Even the Eastern and Western Turks, Tuyuhun and other forces were reluctant to give up their power and status, so they hesitated and did not choose to submit at the first time. They would definitely not dare to become enemies of Daqian.

So far, the expeditionary military operation that began in June of the fifth year of Daqian has only lasted for eight months, and its results can be said to be extremely fruitful!

Western Regions, Sui Dynasty, Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje...

The area of ​​territory under effective control has increased by several times, and the sphere of influence has expanded significantly!

And this is not the end, but the beginning.

Daqian's elite troops were quickly mobilized to continue their foreign military operations!

With the basic governance of the Great Sui territory already complete, logistical supplies were well guaranteed. Coupled with the continuous supply of food and supplies from the Great Qian mainland, as well as batches of officials in place, soon...

The surrounding national forces that did not choose to submit voluntarily suffered the consequences.

Of the 200,000 elite troops of Daqian, only 50,000 were retained for garrison, and the remaining 150,000 were sent out to fight external wars!

Within a month, Tuyuhun, Shiwei and Eastern Turks were destroyed one after another!

In two months, only one in ten of the forces that existed in the surrounding area remained.

Within three months, all forces in this land were wiped out, and basic governance was completed in most areas.

In June of the sixth year of Daqian, the war eased slightly.

Two hundred thousand elite troops were gradually recalled.

Start rotation.

There are more than just 200,000 elite soldiers in the Daqian military system. There are countless soldiers who want to make meritorious contributions. It is naturally impossible to let one team take all the military merits and battle achievements.

We still have to give other armies a chance.

Although even if one company becomes the dominant power, it will not affect the authority of the central government, but it will be extremely detrimental to the development of the army and will inevitably be unfair to other soldiers.

Therefore, rotation is necessary.

certainly......

By doing so, they are actually taking the opportunity to "digest" the gains from the acquisition.

The actual territorial area has expanded by more than double in total. Even if basic governance is completed, one can imagine how many affairs there will be.

Therefore, from this time on, Daqian once again entered a stage of recuperation.

but......

Although it is also a period of recuperation, it is different from the situation at the beginning of the founding of the Daqian Dynasty.

At that time, the country had just been founded and relied only on the foundation accumulated in the early stage. Both materials and manpower were seriously insufficient, making it difficult to support continued external expansion. It was even difficult to maintain the positive cycle of rule and governance at that time. Therefore, it had to stop and "digest" it, and plan and govern it carefully. However, this time, Daqian was a huge empire that had been cultivated for several years. In terms of national strength and rich foundation, it was far from comparable to the past!

There is no comparison at all!

so......

With countless manpower, material and financial resources, as well as various other resources invested, everything was on track in just one year!

June of the seventh year of Daqian.

The central government once again decided to use military force against foreign countries, and this time a total of 250,000 elite troops were mobilized!

The only difference from the last time is that 100,000 of them are elite naval forces. Thanks to the support of Dongming technology, after more than two years of development, Daqian's deep-sea shipbuilding industry has made a qualitative leap and accumulated an extremely large naval fleet. The elite navy was also tempered during this period. This second great expedition is just the right time to test their "sharpness"!

That is to say, fighting on two fronts: at sea and on land!

Wherever it went, it was like crushing dry wood and rotten wood, and all of it became the territory of Daqian!

Continue to expand and conquer westward!

The world is in an uproar!

Until June of the eighth year of Daqian!

The number of countries destroyed is countless!

The territory seized is even larger!

Daqian's territory is expanding rapidly!

At this time, the land of Daqin was also undergoing a drastic change.

After the Qin Emperor died in Shaqiu, Zhao Gao tampered with the imperial edict, ordered the death of the eldest son Fusu, and made Hu Hai the crown prince.

When Emperor Ershi came to the throne, the already harsh taxes, corvee labor and punishments became even more severe and intensified. In less than a year, they caused widespread public resentment.
