Chapter 1211 1211: One year can determine the outcome [asking for monthly votes]
Cui Hui was unable to stay until his third day of sobriety.
Cui Zhi is still a dragon that sees its head but not its tail.
Cui Hui was only vaguely aware of the other party's brief appearance when she was half asleep. Every time she woke up, there was no one there, and she could only smell the residual incense on the other party. It didn't matter if the man was gone. Anyway, she still had a filial son waiting around, serving tea and water, and was busy.
Busy before and after.
However, good old children are not always happy.
Cui Xiong seems to be attentive and considerate, but when Cui Hui isn't paying attention, he will show an expression that hesitant to speak.
I think I'm hiding something secretly, but actually I'm not.
Forcibly, Cui Hui recognized the delusion of stomachache, and said impatiently: "My mother knows that you are a person who can't hide what you say. If you have anything to say, just say it. If you don't want to say it, put away that expression of yours!"
Cui Xiong hesitated: "Baojun is here."
"Where is she?"
"Son, my son decided to let her go back first. My mother is not in good health. What she needs most right now is rest and recuperation..."
Cui Xiong's voice gradually became lower.
Cui Hui sneered: "Tell me, why don't you continue talking? Why did this kid Baojun offend you, and you drove him away?"
The "Baojun" in Cui Xiong's mouth is the vest you borrowed from Miao Ne. Since the king granted the marriage, the two have been a legitimate unmarried couple. In order to cultivate the relationship between the two children, they will not marry blindly.
They became enemies. Whether it was the king of the country or the Cui family, both sides were happy to see Cui Xiong interact with "Baojun". The two of them also lived up to the expectations of their elders.
How can two people in love keep having trouble whenever they want?
Cui Hui questioned, but Cui Xiong could only confess: "She...has not offended my son, but her visit this time is not...not to see you as a 'baojun', but on the order of the king...My son is not angry."
Baojun is the one above her head."
The eldest son's resentment was heavier than Cui Hui expected.
He even dared to say wild words: "So what if you are the leader of a country? Previously, you regarded the family as a thorn in your side, and you and your confidant Mei Jinghe repeatedly made things difficult for our family. They even reached out to your mother, causing you to almost be buried in the dungeon. Now with
Mei Jinghe broke up, and thought of our family again, trying to reward her with something, so she removed the issue of the dungeon and used it to compensate for the suffering her mother had suffered. I wonder how such a cheap thing can be done in the world? She asked Baojun to go back because she didn't want to quarrel.
If your feelings are hurt, it’s better not to meet."
In addition, there are other concerns as well.
The entire King Qi knows that the former mistress of the Cui family was thrown into the dungeon by Mei Jinghe and punished by Yan Ling. She is destined to have a short life. What is the difference between this and murder? The king will give some rewards and turn the page. Will the royal family in the future
Arrest anyone who wants to arrest Cui?
Even if someone loses half his life, he is not afraid of giving away a small reward. The life of a Cui woman is worthless. Cui Xiong doesn't know what his father Cui Zhi thinks. He will not allow this situation to happen.
Cui Hui: "..."
Should we say it or not, Cui Xiong is indeed Cui Zhi’s son.
Father and son are really similar in some ways.
She asked her son: "Daxiong, tell my mother - have you informed Baojun privately about these considerations? You feel that you have difficulties and are aggrieved, but Baojun, who was rejected by you and treated indifferently, is not
More aggrieved? As long as your marriage is still on the line, you should consider her mood more. She is not only the right-hand man of the king, but also your fiancée."
She knew that her fiancée was fake, but her son didn't know.
No matter who his future daughter-in-law is, Cui Hui is not used to the Cui father and son's self-conceited way of handling the matter, and he has a heart attack after seeing it.
Cui Xiong looked at him in surprise: "But Baojun..."
"Are you worried that Baojun will be more partial to the king and betray you?"
Cui Xiong: "..."
His silence is a kind of acquiescence.
Cui Hui sneered: "Are you mute?"
"...The son knows that his mother has always liked Baojun, and believes that she is not this kind of person. He feels uncomfortable after hearing this, but, but the son feels that no matter who it is, it is stupid to give up the future for a relationship that can change at any time! As stupid as a pig! Baojun
Jun Conghui, if she found out and reported it to the king, that would be perfectly normal! My son thought so, so he simply didn’t say anything."
Telling the secret to the other party while expecting the other party to choose you instead of the future is equivalent to a rich man showing off his gold in front of a thief, while forcing the thief to maintain good moral character and not fight, steal or rob. This kind of behavior is really sick!
It would be better to keep silent from the beginning.
Cui Hui: "..."
Okay, the father-in-law is right, and the mother-in-law is right.
She didn't argue with her son about the minutiae. Anyway, it was imperative for the leader of Qi State to repair the relationship with her and win over "Shen Zhongli" through her. It was impossible to give up just because of one or two rejections. Cui Hui relaxed his mind and concentrated on recuperating.
As expected, the leader of the Qi State showed great enthusiasm and sincerity, and almost went out of his way to appease and compensate Cui Hui. In addition to material compensation, he also spread the word and held a banquet for Cui Hui's daughter to see young talents, hoping to promote another relationship.
Pile marriage.
It seems to be a favor, but it may not mean threatening Cui Hui.
It just depends on how the parties involved view the matter.
The leader of the Qi State did not put all his eggs in one basket. In addition to the above-mentioned means, he also issued a decree to praise Shen Tang's performance in the Qi State, praising her achievements in the past two years as being unparalleled. During the rainy season last year, eight winds were frequent.
Within a few months, the number of civilians affected by the disaster reached as many as one million, and the collapse of dams in two other places caused floods downstream, leaving the refugees with no place to settle. Under such an environment, she was one of the few areas under her jurisdiction that suffered no damage within the disaster area.
.
Before the wind from all directions came, the city defense barrier had already been opened.
After the storm passed, the people below reported the damage and allocated funds for disaster relief. Shen Tang only reported that more than 30 houses had collapsed. He also said that these old houses were originally planned to be demolished. Nature helped and saved labor. Tens of people were injured.
One person, three of them went out against the advice and were injured, and the remaining eight were elderly and suffered from typhoid fever. Fortunately, they received medicine in time and no one died.
At that time, Shen Tang's vest was scolded miserably by Qi Guo Yushitai.
Many civil and military officials thought that she was trying to claim credit and concealed it. Cui Zhi's political opponents also used this incident to ridicule, thinking that this ridiculous memorial was ordered by Cui. It was simply stupid! She only wanted to claim credit and flattery, but ignored the vast number of victims. !
Cui Zhi was severely attacked.
The truth is not important, what is important is that it can defeat political opponents.
The leader of the country stood aside and watched, leaving before the two sides got angry. He lightly said that he would send someone to investigate the authenticity and clear the innocent people's names. The matter was left undisturbed, and the results of the investigation were never announced. The hot spots in the court changed every day, and the time passed. For a long time, no one continued to pay attention to this matter. No one expected that the leader of Qi State would take the initiative to mention it, and would use this as a reason to promote officials in Cui's camp and appoint Shen Tang's vest to govern a county.
The location here is a bit subtle.
It not only covers the areas governed by Shen Tang's vest at the beginning, but also takes into account some areas that only the king's confidants are eligible to touch. It is a county in name, but in fact it is much larger than a "county", which means that this new favorite has great potential. Infinite.
A thoughtful person has to think more.
The king of the country and Mrs. Cui are good enough to wear calf-nosed robes again?
Not only the outside world thinks so, but there are also many voices within the Cui family. In the face of many rumors, Cui Zhi, the leader of the Cui family, has never responded directly and rarely appears in public. Most matters of the Cui family are decided by his eldest son Cui Xiong, and his attitude is ambiguous. .
The undercurrents surging in the capital have not affected Shen Tang's promotion and fortune at all. It has been smooth sailing recently. He has a legitimate excuse to expand the scale of his private tribe, and use the power that was previously secretive to the public. For the leader of Qi State, She shows kindness, does not admit, does not refuse, does not promise, whatever the scumbag is like to her, the rest, the leader of the Qi Kingdom will figure it out by himself.
First seek trust, and finally send Qi Guo away with a backhand knife.
Shen Tang does not intend to prolong this battle.
"One year will determine the outcome!"
Shen Tang has been operating in the southwest through Majia for more than two years. Because the territory is limited and Cui keeps a close eye on her, she is not too crazy in recruiting troops. Survival is the most important thing. Most of her energy is used to expand her circle of friends and use high-quality rice seeds. He hoards supplies of food and grass, cuts leeks in different ways, and acts as an intermediary between the small southwestern country and the Qi State - the Qi State has been annexing other countries one after another in recent years. Although the frequency is not high, it also makes the small countries nearby panic all day long.
If a small country has contacts with Kang State, it will feel more secure.
The chess pieces are already in place, and it’s just time to start the game.
Liao Jia twisted the chess pieces and pondered for a while, lowered his eyes and looked at the intricate endgame, and said: "One year? Isn't it too late?"
The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Even if our own side is fully prepared, it will be very difficult to win over the Southwest Continent Alliance headed by Qi State in one year. No matter how confident Liao Jia is in this game, he does not think that rushing for quick success is a good thing. It is easy. Capsize.
Shen Tang: "One year is to capture the Southwest Continent."
Not part of the Southwest.
She sighed: "Go fast."
If the speed is too slow and the Central Continent reacts and intervenes, the trouble will be big. The situation will be several times more difficult than when it was attacked by the Northern Desert and the High Country. She has made arrangements everywhere in recent years, including but not limited to providing support to the Central Continent. A small country tastes the benefits.
On the surface, the small country pays protection money to the big country, and the big country accepts the small country's worship and no longer mobilizes troops. The relationship between the two sides is friendly and honeymoon. In fact, they are used as war buffer areas to prevent the big country in the center from moving north. If not, Shen Tang will not be free. Due to her character, she has digested all the small countries around her over the years. Small countries are not important, as long as she can delay time!
Liao Jia simulated it over and over again in his mind, hypothesizing hundreds of unexpected situations. He did not persuade Shen Tang to be cautious, but just asked: "My lord, are the people in the country well prepared?"
Shen Tang: "You also know other people's personalities."
Regardless of whether they are radicals or conservatives in Kang State, each person has one military merit brain. The difference is that radicals like to use the most brutal and straightforward methods to grab military merits, while conservatives believe that no matter how good military merits are, they must be obtained in a decent way. Shen Tang suppresses them to feel at ease. Development also takes a lot of energy: "If we don't let people out for a walk, I'm really afraid that they will forget the pain after their scars heal..."
Wasn't it this group of people who encouraged Li Wan back then?
"I don't need to, they have already prepared it..."
Just waiting for an order, the beasts came out of the pen.
Liao Jia couldn't help but smile when she thought of those colleagues.
"My Lord, what you said is an exaggeration."
Civil and military people are warlike, but if the Lord is determined to suppress it and no longer fight, how can he be unable to suppress it? Those people have the courage to make a move, simply because they see that the Lord is also thinking of provoking a war. The king and his ministers are always of the same mind.
Liao Jia caressed the chess pieces: "There is a chance in one year, but Jia is just worried that the Central Continent will not give this opportunity..."
A bit adventurous.
Shen Tang smiled and said: "Did you know that an uninvited guest came to the palace a few days ago? I won't tease you by being pretentious - the visitor is Wei Cheng, a twenty-level Chehou who was short-lived during the Battle of Gao Kingdom. He and his uncle are both The leader of the Wu Kingdom is die-hard and it is impossible for him to switch sides, but he did soften his attitude that day. It is not difficult to use them when necessary. In addition, my incarnation of 'Zixu' in the central continent has accumulated a certain amount of strength. The central part There is really a powerful country here that joins forces to snipe us, it can come in handy!"
She gave an example: "For example, it is not difficult to sneak into their allies, burn their food and grass, and cause some trouble for others secretly."
Her Way of the Princes could not provide her with powerful force when she was weak, so she could only survive that period of time by relying on her humble growth and making allies. However, after she developed and became stronger, this Way of the Princes made her even more powerful. What a skill!
The enemy's food and fodder were burned, and they couldn't even move, let alone fight.
What about Shen Tang?
The supply of grain and grass is abundant, and mobility is not restricted by grain lines.
Shen Tang said that secretly burning people's food and grass can really delay the interception and sniper attacks from the central part. She gave herself one year to pacify the southwest continent. This year is not her limit but a guarantee!
Lio Jia coughed lightly and joked.
"This matter... Fortunately, Mr. Ki is not here." If today's words were written down by Mr. Ki and passed down to future generations, Your Majesty would not be able to tear off the label of "dark villain".
The mainstream still prefers an upright and powerful lord.
The dark villain should let a group of conspirators be the masterminds.
Qi Yuanliang is probably very happy.
The blame was placed on him, and later generations of scholars will probably not verify the truth of the matter, because it sounds like he would have done it.
Shen Tang: "...it's not good to mention anyone, will you scare me by mentioning them?"
Lio Jia was amused by Shen Tang's true reaction. Her smile was so subtle that even Shen Tang silently looked away. The relaxed atmosphere ended when Lio Jia left in disguise, and Shen Tang got up to check her luggage.
After promotion, the office location also needs to be changed.
She said she still had some finishing work to do, so she postponed taking office for ten days, as today was the deadline. Even though she didn't have many personal belongings, she packed them into a small box, but it weighed a lot and required two soldiers to lift it. Carriage. Shen Tang gave detailed instructions to the person who would take over the job. When he was almost done, the soldier came over and said, "My lord, everything has been sorted out."
Shen Tang nodded: "Well, okay, let's go."
He turned around and said to the people who were preparing to see him off: "Please don't see me off."
"I wish you good luck in martial arts!"
Shen Tang was in a great mood and headed towards the carriage at the door.
As soon as her left foot crossed the threshold, her heart suddenly felt, the breath of death followed her, and murderous intent came one after another. She dodged to avoid this sneak attack, but unexpectedly, this killer actually had some tricks up his sleeve, and he clung to her without telling her, and his moves were also cunning and vicious. Thousands of air blades are condensed in the palm of the hand. Hitting them one by one this time is like being attacked in a small area!
Under the shocked gaze of the killer, Shen Tang did not dodge but rushed towards him. He stepped on the light blade that was coming with his bare feet. In the next move, he turned his fingers into claws and strangled the killer's vitals: "Who are you?"
