Su De was right, the note written by Butcher Zhang was none other than a resignation letter.
"Old General, you...why do I feel that it's not Da Su who is anxious to draw a clear line with you, but you who are anxious to draw a clear line with Da Su?"
After reading the excerpt written by Butcher Zhang, Su De couldn't help but asked with a wry smile.
Because there was a sense of impatience in Butcher Zhang's words, Su De gave him a brief summary, meaning: Damn, it's so annoying, I won't serve you anymore.
"I followed your father to conquer the world when I was in my twenties. It has been more than ninety years now. What's the matter? Do you have to let me die?" Butcher Zhang asked angrily.
"Of course not, but you don't have to be like this, right? What do you mean by cutting off two pieces and not owing each other anything?" Su De pointed at Butcher Zhang's fold, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You have been carrying the burden for Da Su for more than ninety years, and your achievements are as high as the sky.
, If the vast territory of Dasu cannot accommodate your peaceful residence, wouldn’t it make the world laugh? I--"
"Okay, okay, don't be so verbose. Just one sentence, is it accurate?" Butcher Zhang interrupted Su De impatiently.
"Old man, what should I do if you leave?" Su De asked with a bitter face.
"What are you going to do? Aren't you a good emperor?"
"It's fine now, but there's no guarantee it'll always be fine in the future."
"After Da Su and I have drawn a clear line, the Shen family will have no excuse to send troops against Da Su. The only personal grudges left between my Zhang family and his Shen family will be resolved by ourselves. You have the Yellow Dragon to protect you, and the Holy Realm
A strong man can't do anything to you easily. If you ask Tianzong, I and the Duke will help you block it. What else do you have to worry about? Just be your emperor with peace of mind."
"Old man, do you have to leave?"
"nonsense!"
"Well, I won't force you. However, your trick is absolutely not allowed. I want you to retire in glory."
Nice romance
"I know what you mean. You don't need to have a good reputation. I have never cared about face and reputation. You can draw a clear line between you and me, which will reassure the people."
"But...it will chill your heart. You have worked hard for the people all your life, but in the end the people don't know how good you are and are not even willing to give you a place to live."
Zhang Butcher waved his hand and said: "The common people have limited knowledge, and they are most easily deceived and incited. I don't share their knowledge, and you should do the same. You must not only tolerate good people, but also tolerate stupid people. Foolish people are not stupid.
They just don’t understand. Don’t despise, despise, or abandon them. Don’t let the darkness in our personal hearts turn the justice we pursue into ashes.”
"The boy has learned a lesson."
"On behalf of the people of Dasu, thank you for your tolerance and forgiveness."
Su De bowed and saluted Butcher Zhang, deeply admiring his broad mind.
Zhang Butcher stepped forward and patted Su De on the shoulder, and said: "You are better than Su Hui. Let me rest assured. I think you will definitely be able to realize your father's grand plan. If you encounter any difficulties that cannot be solved, go to Liujia Village to find me."
.”
"OK."
"Take my note and go back. I won't go to the Jinluan Hall to resign."
"Old man, let me ask you a question."
"explain."
"Can I expand Dasu's territory?"
Butcher Zhang frowned when he heard this and asked: "Where to expand and how much?"
"Is Qingzhou too big?" Su De asked.
"Qingzhou, it's big if you say it's big, and it's not big if you say it's not big. If you have the ability, just measure it yourself."
"okay."
Yide Palace.
"My servants come to see the Queen. She is a thousand years old."
"Get up."
Qi Ronger invited Grandma Rong over.
"Mommy, I want to ask you something."
"The Queen, please ask me."
"You also know that I come from a small place. I haven't learned much etiquette since I was a child, and I don't know much about royal etiquette."
"If the Queen wants to learn, I can teach you."
"Ah, no, no need." Qi Ronger waved her hands hurriedly.
She had already experienced the power of Aunt Rong, and finally escaped from her clutches. She did not want to experience it again even if she was beaten to death, so she quickly changed the subject and asked: "I just want to ask you a simple question. According to royal etiquette, Concubine Qin and Concubine Wan
After entering the palace, do you have to come here every morning to pay your respects to me?"
"yes."
"You felt that the two noble concubines were working hard, so you gave me a favor and spared the two noble concubines from sleeping in the morning and dusk."
Grandma Rong said.
"I suddenly miss my two sisters very much. I feel uncomfortable without seeing each other for a day. I don't know what to do?"
Aunt Rong understood and said: "I will go to Chuxiu Palace and Anning Palace to convey to the two noble concubines how much the Queen misses them."
"Well, you go ahead."
"Slave, please leave."
One of the two noble concubines Su De took into the harem was named Qin Fu. She lived in Chuxiu Palace and was given the title "Qin".
She is the granddaughter of Qin Wanyue, the minister of the DPRK.
Another one named Zhu Qiaofeng lived in Anning Palace and was given the title "Wan".
She is the eldest daughter of Zhu Ganjie, the minister of the DPRK.
When Su De left Yide Palace in the morning, Qi Ronger asked who among the ministers in the court who advocated drawing a clear line with Zhang Xiaozu had the loudest voice. Su De answered that it was Qin Wanyue and Zhu Ganjie.
Qi Ronger nodded, not surprised at all, because she already had a guess in her heart.
She saw on the piece of paper that Su De showed her that she and Zhang Xiaozhu were sworn brothers and sisters, and when she heard Su De say that someone in Da Su was adding fuel to the news spread by the Shen family, she couldn't help but have a bad idea in her heart.
guess.
These guys who are adding fuel to the flames may not be aiming at Zhang Xiaopou, but at her.
These people want to first name Zhang Xiaozhu a sinner of Dasu, and then make a fuss about the fact that she and Zhang Xiaozhu are sworn brothers and sisters, smear her body, fan the wind and light a will-o'-the-wisp, create public opinion, and shake her title of queen.
Bit.
And when she heard the names of Qin Wanyue and Zhu Ganjie from Su De's mouth, she knew that it wasn't that she had too many dark associations, but that this was actually the case.
She felt that she had caused trouble for Zhang Xiaopou, and she blamed herself and was very angry.
"I want to get along well with you, but you don't appreciate it, so don't blame me for being cruel." Qi Ronger looked at the back of Grandma Rong as she left, with two cold gleams in her eyes.
Su De had lunch with Butcher Zhang at Guowei Mansion before returning to the palace. As soon as he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, a young eunuch came to report.
"Your Majesty, the Empress said she misses the two concubines very much and asked the two concubines to go to Yide Palace to pay her respects tomorrow." The young eunuch reported.
Su De couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "My wife is very smart, she saw through the key immediately. How did the two noble concubines react?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Qin has agreed. Concubine Wan is a little displeased, saying that the Queen... I dare not say anything."
"You are forgiven."
"Thank you Lord for your kindness." The young eunuch kowtowed and thanked her, and then continued: "Concubine Wan said that the empress came from a humble background and was a concubine. Her virtue is not worthy of her position, and she is not worthy of paying her respects."
If Concubine Wan was here and heard the words of the young eunuch, she would be shocked out of her mind, not only because these words reached the emperor's ears, but also because these words reached the emperor's ears.
She is not a fool who speaks freely. Naturally, she did not dare to say these words in front of a group of maids and eunuchs. She said it in her bedroom to the confidant maid she brought into the palace from home, but obviously her confidant maid has already
He was no longer her confidant, but had become Su De's eyes, staring at her all the time.
