Chapter 1252 1252: Water battle, no martial ethics (Part 2) [Please vote]
Gu Chi: "..."
Although he had been mentally prepared, he still felt uncomfortable hearing her say these words. He suppressed his emotions and joked in as calm a tone as possible: "My lord, you are still far away from being in your prime, why would you consider it?" Is it so far away?"
In terms of seniority, Lin Feng is indeed a junior. In terms of age, she is not much different from people like Chu Yao, just over 20 years old.
Among ordinary people, more than twenty years is indeed close to two generations, but in this world where literary scholars and courageous warriors can easily survive for hundreds of years even if they die young, twenty years can be classified as one of the same generation. Even though the superior knew this, he still regarded Lin Feng as his future first assistant minister and had high hopes for her. What does this mean? It means that she is not prepared to stay in power for a long time.
Maybe it's more than twenty years, maybe it's more than thirty years.
The country is once again a new generation replacing the old.
Shen Tang and Gu Chi have known each other for more than ten years, how come they don't know each other's ups and downs? She smiled and approached her. Gu Chi smiled when he saw her. His suppressed emotions rebounded in place, and his anger instantly burned his reason: "Why are you still smiling, my lord? This is What’s so funny about this?”
She hurriedly put out the fire to appease him.
"Isn't this a plan for a rainy day?"
As long as she is preparing for long-term development, it is impossible for her not to consider every step in the future in advance. She can't think of cultivating a successor team until she is exhausted and burning her butt, right? Shen Tang's explanation obviously did not convince Gu Chi, and he even sneered.
"Preparing for a rainy day? What I think is planning for a rainy day is that while the Lord is celebrating his 100th birthday, he is watching the evaluations of the staff over the years and thinking about which young man among them is worthy of the important task, instead of choosing Wu Hui who is twenty years younger than him. Lin Feng!"
Shen Tang's expression went numb.
"Are you really planning to let me retire at the age of 100?"
The previous female retirement age in human civilization was only fifty-five years old, but Gu Chi turned a hundred years old when she came up. She planned to train new people at her 100th birthday party, and she had to keep an eye on them for ten or twenty years. After the trouble was eliminated and the hammering was completed, she could hand over the work with complete confidence. It will take ten years, right? To sum up, she will have to be at least 130 years old before she can see the hope of retirement. Gu Wangchao, can you be a human being?
Gu Chi answered her firmly: "No!"
"Your character is worse than Wuhui and the others."
"You dislike me now? Then when you robbed me, why didn't you dislike Gu Wangchao's character?" Gu Chi looked sad and angry, wishing he could point his finger at Shen Tang and call her a scumbag. When they were on good terms, She never said anything about her bad character. More than ten years have passed, but now she starts to dislike him? Is there any law of heaven?
Shen Tang was thrown into disarray by his accusations.
"I, I... this moment and that moment... what happened back then, weren't we both in love with each other?" Seeing that Gu Chi was so emotional that he wanted to make a series of holes in the ground under his feet, Shen Tang was forced to follow him to reason. But his voice was obviously weak, "I didn't say I would give up my job after working for twenty or thirty years. You don't want to think about it. Even if I want to give up my job, someone has to take over, right?"
She is still single now.
"Don't talk about children now, I don't even have any men."
Right now, we are still fighting with the southwest, and after cleaning up the central part, there will be two territories of the northeastern continent and the southeastern continent. She sleeps with her eyes closed, and fights with her eyes open. Coupled with the curse of the old man in Wenda, she has to wait. The world will be unified before considering the heir. The people choose one. Chu Yao and the others are the first to make trouble with him. Even if they recognize a lord other than Shen Tang, this lord must be her blood heir. This will prevent Shen Tang from being lazy.
If she wants an heir, she has to find one herself.
To have a child, you have to wait until the world is unified.
“If you haven’t accomplished your great cause, why should you call home?”
Shen Tang knew that she was not an irresponsible person. She had to wait until her children grew up and could be trusted. If she was unlucky and this account was really useless, she would have to hold her nose and open a new account and start over. Training. After all, how can she give up her choice after twenty or thirty years? No matter how worried Gu Chi is about her, he must follow the basic law, right?
"Both men and children have to wait for reunification, right?"
After Shen Tang said a few words, the anger in Gu Chi's heart was extinguished. When he calmed down and thought about it, he was indeed too sensitive and suspicious. Those were all things that had no trace, so why should he be worried now? Even if he wanted to be worried, he would be worried. Not at this time.
Gu Chi pursed his lips, took a step back and bowed to apologize.
"Chi Fang just made a mistake...please punish me, my lord."
Shen Tang helped the man up before he bowed to the end, and said: "What are you asking for? Why do we need all these red tapes between you and me? Don't worry, I still have to worry about it for many years."
Gu Chi complained so much that he was afraid that he would release him.
Is it worthy of doing this?
After this incident, Shen Tang did not dare to mention retirement easily again, and because of Gu Chi's scholarly ways, she had to think carefully about it. When she was the boss, she was also outstanding. As everyone knows, Gu Chi Already thinking about how to trip.
Of course, it is not to cause trouble for Shen Tang.
He is preparing to kill all the seedlings that covet the Lord. If the Lord wants to retire, she must have an heir. If she wants an heir, she must have a man who suits her heart, and this man... that is the source of all evil. As long as Gu Chi has taken control of this link, ensuring that the Lord’s retirement is far away!
Bai Su rolled her eyes at him.
"Every single person in the Kang Kingdom, regardless of gender, doesn't want to be the king's husband/wife? There are so many people lining up to admire the Lord, don't say you only have one hand, even if you are really 'watching the tide' and growing eight. Even a delicate hand cannot destroy a flower."
Gu Chi counted the registered population of Kang State with his fingers.
He was silent for a moment.
Bai Su added: "The Lord's character is rather lacking, and the person she likes must be the best among people. Instead of being wary of people who like the Lord, why not be wary of people who may be liked by the Lord?"
When I change my mind, I suddenly become enlightened.
In a word, be wary of these single dogs!
Gu Chi suddenly became energetic.
Bai Su held the two swords in front of Gu Chi's toes, blocking his way, and said with a half-smile: "You came here to ask me who likes the Lord, and you said that the peach blossoms have been in bad luck recently, and they are easy to make mistakes...
…How come I don’t know, General, that you are proficient in this?”
Gu Chi: "..."
"Isn't it a grave sin to spy on the Lord's whereabouts?"
Bai Su's face darkened, as if Gu Chi would kill off his relatives without giving a reasonable explanation. Gu Chi also didn't doubt that Bai Su would sell him off - it was the custom of the Kang Dynasty to follow the example and take the lead.
Each roll up was more ruthless than the last, and Bai Shaoxuan was the best among the roll kings. If there was an emergency in the middle of the night, he would sit leaning against the smoked cage until dawn.
Gu Chi could only vaguely reveal the Lord's desire to retire early, and did not say much else. This little information was enough for Bai Su, so she put away her swords: "The Lord is in the prime of life.
At your age, why do you start thinking about this?"
Gu Chi said: "She wants to run away."
Bai Su subconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword for a long time.
After a while, she said: "Look at the brothers from the Gongxi tribe."
"Why is there Jimo Shaobai? He doesn't need it, right?"
The social distance between the lord and the courtiers is about the same. It is almost impossible to have any budding relationship with the courtiers. To say that it is special, Gongxi Qiu is more special in recent years. Needless to say, the lord and Gongxi Qiu are fighting each other.
Leng Jian’s strange friendship.
Will Jimo Qiu also be selected?
Gu Chi didn't quite understand.
Bai Su said: "He is too rich."
Gu Chi looked strange and said: "Wealth and honor cannot be kinky, poverty and lowliness cannot be moved, power cannot be surrendered... It is impossible for the Lord to give in to yellow and white things at will. If you really want to take it seriously, selling an official position and winning a title is the fastest way to make money. Look at her.
Did you open this hole?"
Selling official positions and titles is not a good word, but it does not mean that it does not have positive aspects. By selling official positions and titles without real power, a large amount of money can be collected in a short period of time, which can be used for military training and construction in various places.
I don’t know how many years it will take to collect this money just by collecting taxes.
In addition, it is easier for people with qualifications and abilities to stand out. After all, without any real ability or rich family background, they cannot afford to sell their official positions and titles, right? In fact, when the Ministry of Revenue was at its poorest, some courtiers also tried to open this hole.
of.
Even Qi Shan and others were shaken.
Just selling fake titles can solve the urgent need.
As long as you keep an eye on them, don't give them a chance to become corrupt, and stop after this one vote, you can get the best of both worlds. The Lord's answer was no, and he took the initiative to reduce the royal court's already low expenses. His determination was evident, and the courtiers no longer
Mentioned.
[I don’t know that every country has done this, and it can also be used to collect redundant money from private hands and solve urgent needs. No one will criticize me if I do it. But this move involves the bottom line. Once I rely on it this time
I quickly made money and got through the difficulties, but what about the next time? What about the next time? What about the next time? Governing a huge country cannot always go smoothly. There will always be accidents that cause the national treasury to be tight, maybe natural disasters, maybe man-made disasters...]
【I can't take advantage of it every time!】
【Don’t give yourself the chance to become addicted.】
Shen Tang said sincerely: "Don't test human nature, not only the human nature of others, but also your own. This time I bowed due to financial pressure, what confidence do I have to guarantee that I won't do it next time?"
Gu Chi doesn't think Jimo Qiu's money can shake her principles.
"Do you think I'm just talking about his family background? You can't treat money like dirt if you don't agree with me. You have to ask for something, right? But in these years, no matter what the Lord has done to him, No matter what, he can be content with it and keep his composure. Only the principal wife can have such a broad-mindedness."
This kind of ultimate love brain can only be found in Huaben.
Gu Chi: "..."
Jimo Qiu is the principal wife, what is she?
Bai Su raised his eyebrows and said, "Concubine?"
She also knew that Gu Chi talked about the "three wives and four concubines" controversy, and used this to stimulate him from time to time - in terms of time, she Bai Su was not a few days behind him Gu Wangchao, and the law of Kang State only allowed one husband, one wife and multiple concubines. In ten or twenty years, when women's cultivation resources can catch up, it is estimated that this concubine will need to be reformed again.
Gu Chi broke his guard: "Don't mention this word!"
In my heart, I stamped Jimo Qiu with special attention!
Bai Su picked up his sword and floated away: "I'm going to practice."
Gu Chi was left alone to continue breaking the defense.
Within two days, the scouts found that the vanguard of the Southwest Allied Forces had arrived first, and the main force was divided into encirclement postures to surround Shen Tang. Both sides were in a tense and imminent posture. At this time, Shen Tang calmed down.
Looking across the river, you can vaguely see the shadow of the flag on the opposite side.
Shen Tang inspected the naval drills against the river breeze, and at the same time was distracted to listen to the battle report - the Southwest Allied Forces also had brains, and did not attack rashly. Instead, they set up camp and took advantage of the terrain and city defense to prepare to trap Shen Tang's main force here. , secretly mobilized soldiers and horses to explore the food and grass transportation routes of Kang State.
As long as there is no stable supply of food and grass, Shen Tang can't hold on for long. What makes the Southwest Allied Forces embarrassed is that they can't find the so-called food line supplies at all. They also sent people to lurk in, snooping on Shen Tang's troops among the people and arresting people to use as military food. There are still no clues about it. Not to mention that nine out of ten rooms were empty. The livelihood of the people in the captured areas was not affected. They should make a living and plow the land. They are really too busy. Some soldiers will warmly help them when they see it. handle...
The news spread back to the camp, and silence spread like the plague.
They even suspected that the scout had been bribed.
Otherwise, why would you say such absurd and uninhibited words?
In addition to these, the scouts also found out that Shen Tang's main force was training the navy, and the formation looked a bit sloppy and funny.
The leader of Qi State breathed a sigh of relief.
This is barely good news.
The Allies were in a low mood because of the bad news from the other three groups. Until they saw the irrefutable evidence that Kang Guo was not good at water warfare, they became more confident in the future. As long as they could defeat Kang Guo's main force and cause a major blow to it, previous defeats would be enough. Smooth it out!
Cui Zhi also shared some good news.
"There have been changes in the central countries."
The central team also noticed Kang Guo's actions and prepared to end the game.
If Kang Guo is not contained, the opponent will really become a giant that devours everything, and it will be too late to stop him. Back then, the Wu State was destroyed by the evil spirit. Its combat power collapsed overnight, and the building collapsed. Kang Guo came step by step. But there is no such fatal danger.
Once Kang State reaches the scale of Wu State...
Everything will be irreversible!
This news was like a shot in the arm, sweeping away the depression.
"really?"
Cui Zhidao: "Seriously!"
As the head of the Southwest Branch, the news is absolutely true! He even knew that Mei Meng did not supervise the country and went to the front line without permission, with unknown results. Little did he know that there were things in this world that he could not control.
For example, Shen Tang’s friendship with the leader of the Southeast Qu Kingdom.
It is better to make friends from far away and attack from close quarters!
If you get an inch, you are a king's inch; if you get a ruler, you are a king's ruler!
Shen Tang said that the way to distract the central government was this: unite with Qu State and use the power of Qu State to contain the central government.
"Is it appropriate for you to appear here?"
Zhai Le opened the door.
Zhai Le doubts life.
Zhai Le slammed the door.
"Is it appropriate for you to sit here?" He pointed to the position under Shen Zixu Tang's butt with a livid face. He wanted to pick him up and got angry, "Get up, this is the throne!"
Shen Zixu Tang covered his face with the memorial that Zhai Le had reviewed, revealing a pair of cunning almond eyes: "You are the king, and I am also the king. If you can sit on the throne, I can also sit on the throne...a chair, in my capacity Sitting on it doesn’t insult it.”
Seeing that the other party refused to get up, Zhai Le chose to call someone.
