Chapter 883 The Queen's New Clothes
On the same morning, everyone was also quarreling in the court of Tang State. The one who quarreled the most was about the Shang Dynasty.
Li Liang looked a little embarrassed. He went to Shang Dynasty but did not ask about the Ascension Passage. His ability to do things is really not reliable!
But then again, Li Liang was indeed scared by Xia Qingqing at that time - this brother and sister were so cruel. Because Xia Xu and Xia Shu showed some ambitions, Xia Qingqing deprived them of their Shang Dynasty citizens and had to thoroughly investigate their property.
Li Liang was so scared that he gave him a gift, and he made a few polite words, and he didn't dare to talk about sensitive topics. He just came back in shame... He came back like this!
During the discussion between the Tang Dynasty, Li Liang could only sit quietly and remain silent, and he could not speak. So Li Liang could only "forget the excuse". He really couldn't tell the truth. If he told the truth, the prince's face would be left in the future.
However, during the discussion, Li Liang still couldn't avoid some topics.
Then Yang Zhong asked, "Your Highness, I wonder what you think about Xia Qingqing's rule? Will there be any changes between the Shang Dynasty and our Tang Kingdom?"
Li Liangqiang said calmly: "This matter cannot be seen clearly for the time being. I think Xia Qingqing is sincere to Li Xian. But Xia Qingqing himself is the princess of the Great Xia Kingdom and is well versed in political principles. He cannot see Xia Qingqing's attitude towards our relationship for the time being."
Li Yulong nodded: "We really underestimated Xia Qingqing. In the past, Xia Qingqing had no chance to show it and could not see it. Let's discuss this for the time being. In the future, we will have to look at the actions of the Shang Dynasty."
After everyone discussed for a while, the Tang Kingdom dispersed. Everything continued to be the same. As for the assassination of Li Xian, Li Yulong could only express concern for the time being and could not intervene too deeply.
Because this matter is too complicated, even if Li Yulong feels endless anger in his heart, he can only temporarily suppress it. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, let’s take a look! Besides, there is news about the interrogation in the Shang Dynasty that said: Tang State has also intervened in this matter!
As for the ascension channel, there is no hurry for the time being.
…………
The Tang Dynasty meeting ended, but the Shang Dynasty has not yet!
At this time, the Shang Dynasty was discussing about Bian State. Xu Ren said, "Be more ruthless - Bian State either surrenders now. If he dares to jump, he will destroy it immediately without any discussion!"
But this time, Li Yuanming disagreed with this view.
"Queen, I think that if Bian State resists a little and is impressed by our powerful military power, it is the most perfect!
Because only battles and quick victory can best demonstrate the power of the Shang Dynasty.
Of course, it would be fine if the Bian State did not resist; if the Bian State resisted and was defeated again, even if we did not destroy the Bian State, we would still let the Bian State sign some jumps that would be beneficial to the Shang Dynasty.
We can learn from these treaties signed by the wise king and Jin State, and it can even be more harsh."
This time, Yan Zean also agreed with Li Yuanming's view. "Queen, if we destroy the Bian State, we will not be able to take action to govern it now. It is better to impress the Bian State and deter the surrounding areas. As for the Bian State itself, we can obtain enough benefits through treaties and other means."
Xu Ren shook his head: "If you don't die, you will suffer. The Bian State itself is not a weak country. This country has a rich heritage and a vast land. Thousands of years of division have made the people in Bian's hearts look forward to unification.
But after all, it was long-term division and the people were disagreeable; but if we attacked them but did not destroy them, it would inevitably lead to the rapid spiritual unification of the Bian State.
In addition, Bian State himself was like a blank piece of paper, and he also learned the ideology, culture, politics, economy, law and military, scientific education, etc. of the Shang Dynasty. As long as they were given some time, they would inevitably become a confidant!
Therefore, either you don’t take action. Once you take action, you must destroy Bian State. You must never give Bian State a chance to rekindle!
This is not a question of whether the Bian State can be governed, but we cannot leave a confidant. The Bian State's environment is too special. This country either remains divided and once unified, its potential is immeasurable.
Moreover, if the queen wants to establish prestige and lead the Shang Dynasty to continue moving forward, she needs the courage of the wise king!”
Everyone quickly calmed down and began to think about Xu Ren's words.
Gradually, everyone began to agree with Xu Ren's point of view. Yes, simply look at it, Li Yuanming and Yan Ze'an's point of view are better. But in the long run, Xu Ren's suggestions are more profound.
Besides, Xia Qingqing is now in power in the Shang Dynasty and does not show her own methods to convince everyone. Obviously, using the blood of other people and other countries to warn the country is one of the best methods. Letting blood and sacrifice in the country is the lowest political means.
But there is a question about destroying Bian State: Will it cause panic among the people around the country? Especially in the south of Bian State, after two small countries, you will arrive at Yue State! If the Shang Dynasty destroyed Bian State, what would the Yue State think? The Yue State is not a small country now, and many technologies have followed the footsteps of the Shang Dynasty.
Li Yuanming gave a suggestion: "Press the assassination on Bian State. He said that some of the personnel had been interrogated and learned that Bian State supported the rebellion within the Shang Dynasty.
Let’s put a hat on Bian Guo first.”
After a while of discussion, Xia Qingqing ordered Shen Jianfei to organize more military forces. Bian Guomo, it is still too late to surrender, otherwise there will be no negotiation to destroy you!
Xia Qingqing was full of anger at this time. After repeated discussions, Xia Qingqing had already made a decision: Bian State would either surrender now, otherwise it would destroy the country!
In fact, it was not just Xia Qingqing who was full of anger, but the people of the Shang Dynasty were full of anger! As soon as life improved, the wise king was assassinated and unconscious; the Shang Dynasty suffered a lot of damage and many families were rebelling.
Previously, people didn't know how the Shang Dynasty politics would develop, and they were a little confused for a while. Now that they knew that Queen Xia Qingqing was in power, and kept the policy of the wise king unchanged, and wanted to take revenge on the outside, the people worked hard.
The orders were issued one by one, and the huge mass base of the Shang Dynasty was rapidly changing to the potential of war. The Shang Dynasty's first goal was directed at the Bian State. At the same time, some information had begun to be spread on the Internet - reporting on the role played by Bian State in this Shang Dynasty incident.
What has been confirmed now is that the Bian State provides a large amount of arms to the aristocratic families and families in the Shang Dynasty, and even some experts from the Bian State. People with special abilities enter these aristocratic families and contribute to the fire.
There are also the destruction suffered by various parts of the Shang Dynasty, which is quite a part of which is related to the Bian State.
Not long after the news was made public, remarks began to appear on the Internet: Bian State would either come here to apologize now, or wait for the Shang Dynasty army to fall!
The news reached Bian State not long after. The Bian State's expression became serious. King Jing looked at the information in front of him and was speechless for a long time. He thought that the Shang Dynasty was just a so-called pollution problem, but he responded more intensely here, and then... the Shang Dynasty's reaction seemed to be even more intense!
King Jing really wants to contact Ji Fangzhu again now - come back soon, let's continue to discuss the issue of pollution.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world, and I didn’t seize the first opportunity. Now the Shang Dynasty has changed its strategy - we don’t want to talk about the pollution issue anymore. Let’s talk about the Shang Dynasty this time.
After a long time, King Jing let out a heavy breath: "Prepare for war! We cannot give in!"
Next to him, Yuan Lin asked in a low voice: "King Jing, then... if we... are defeated, will the Shang Dynasty accept our surrender?"
It is not a good habit to say that you will lose before you speak. So Yuan Lin was a little stuttering.
King Jing glanced at Yuan Lin, but shook his head slightly, "No, but this time we must be prepared to not accept surrender! After all, the wise king was assassinated and unconscious. The Shang Dynasty was also seriously damaged.
Not to mention, the matter of the Ascension Channel also makes things full of variables, and it is difficult for us to judge the policies of the Shang Dynasty for the time being.
Also, a woman’s heart is under the sea, who knows what Xia Qingqing is thinking!”
Yuanlin blinked: Prince Jing, I just asked a small question, you don’t need to explain so much.
Well, Yuan Lin also understood that Bian State was probably in danger this time. Shang Dynasty was really going to get angry. Xia Qingqing almost became a widow, and she must be in a bad mood, extremely bad!
So, the situation in Bian Guo is also very bad, extremely bad!
In fact, King Jing really wants to curse now - everyone once thought that even if such a good plan and so many countries participated, the Shang Dynasty would be seriously weakened, so Bian State took action. Moreover, being neighbors with the Shang Dynasty made it difficult for Bian State to feel at ease.
However, reality and dreams are always too far apart! Li Xian's public ascension channel attracted a large number of experts to become the thugs of the Shang Dynasty. In this way, things were completely miscalculated.
Especially this time, not only the Shang Dynasty, but also involves the Dragon King Mansion in the East China Sea in Yingzhou, which makes things much more complicated!
…………
The situation was turbulent, but after Xia Qingqing returned to the city lord's mansion, she did not visit Li Xian, but asked her maids to call the presidents of the two major luxury goods groups in the Shang Dynasty.
There are now two major luxury goods groups in the Shang Dynasty, one is Tianyi Group, and the president Wei Fengxia, who is responsible for clothes and so on. Wei Fengxia is also the first graduate of the Shang Dynasty's formal training.
One is Mingyu Jewelry Business Company - now it has been renamed: Mingyu Jewelry Group, and its president is Wen Mingyu.
In addition to the two largest ones above, the luxury goods group of the Shang Dynasty also has a rapidly growing "Hongyan Cosmetics Group". Its president Zhao Xiaolan is also a graduate of the Shang Dynasty and one of the many entrepreneurial students supported by Li Xian at that time.
But now Xia Qingqing only needs to summon Wei Fengxia and Wen Mingyu.
The two of them came soon.
After the ceremony, Xia Qingqing asked the two to sit down and said straight to the point: "Two, I need to make a piece of clothing, a piece of clothing that can reflect the majesty of the queen, and more reflect the characteristics of the Shang Dynasty, as well as corresponding ornaments.
This dress cannot be a palace outfit from the past. It should be simple, but it should have a distinct personality."
Wei Fengxia and Wen Mingyu looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. The queen suddenly summoned her and actually wanted to make clothes. What are she doing?
However, it seems that it is not your own business, your own business is to provide services that satisfy customers.
Wei Fengxia thought for a moment and opened her notebook to show Xia Qingqing several ‘conceptual designs’. “Queen, how do you think of this? This is a design improved from a cheongsam.
Nowadays, women's clothes in the Shang Dynasty can be divided into three categories.
One is business decoration, most of which are simple and bright.
One is casual home, most of which are light and comfortable.
Another one is used on important occasions, called dresses.
Among these three categories, the design ideas of business clothes and dresses best reflect the characteristics of the Shang Dynasty. The most distinctive feature of the Shang Dynasty is the cheongsam.
At present, we have three cheongsams that are being designed.
This one is elegant and noble, with a bit of the characteristics of a traditional long skirt.
This one is bright and lively, with beautiful colors.
This one is both elegant, noble and dignified. Compared with the first one, it is slightly low-key, but it adds a bit of heaviness.
I think the third model has been slightly changed, with widening the cuffs, raising the collar, paired with a jade belt, widening the edges of the clothes, etc.
In terms of color, you can appropriately decorate golden and purple patterns, and add a relatively simple phoenix pattern."
While speaking, Wei Fengxia skillfully designed it and soon modified the general appearance. Time was urgent and there was no time to carefully craft it, so she could only piece it together to make a look. But after Xia Qingqing saw it, she smiled very satisfied.
"Yes, just this one, and then craft it. Make a few more colors and slightly change the styles to facilitate replacement."
"Okay." Wei Fengxia immediately lowered her head and became busy, but also showed Wen Mingyu the style of the clothes. After all, if you want to wear them, you have to cooperate with the clothes.
Unexpectedly, Wen Mingyu thought for a while, but said, "Queen, I don't think you need ordinary ornaments. A sword is enough!"
Xia Qingqing was a little stunned and then smiled. "Yes, a sword is enough. But you still need to design this sword."
"I understand, I guarantee that the queen will be satisfied." Wen Mingyu said almost patting her chest. But she turned on the computer and briefly discussed the style, pattern, length, etc. of the sword with Xia Qingqing.
Of course, when producing swords, we have to hand over to Qingyun Valley for production, where there are the best technology and the best materials. However, the design also requires the help of Wen Mingyu. We have specialized in art, and in artistic design, there are still experts among the people.
After seeing off the two of them, Ji Fangzhu was a little confused, "Queen, why do you want to make clothes?"
Xia Qingqing sighed, "In the past, I just wanted to be a little woman, so I didn't need to show myself.
But now it is different. I have to carry this country. Then, I have to do my best to show my majesty. The most intuitive and simplest means of showing my majesty are clothes and ornaments."
Ji Fangzhu understood, but sighed slightly. It was not for herself, but for the queen who was also a woman. Suddenly, the sky collapsed and the earth fell, and the huge Shang Dynasty, heavy pressure fell on Xia Qingqing's weak shoulders.
When Xia Qingqing drove Xia Xu and Xia Shu away, Ji Fangzhu felt the trembling in Xia Qingqing's tone. But sometimes, there was no choice.
After a while of silence, Ji Fangzhu carefully reminded, "Queen, the national master is still locked in the wing room."
