One hundred and thirty-one, political considerations
Xu Junzhi was speechless: "It saves trouble to burn such a big forest with a fire. But do you know how many years it will take to grow? Okay, don't come up with bad ideas. We will be on duty safely, and your Majesty and the commander will worry about the rest.
I’m too busy thinking about what to eat next.”
Eating is a major event in life.
Lu Yaoye should really think about where to eat after his shift, what to eat, and whether to find a meal partner.
Su Rui did her best to research and quickly upgraded the protection.
Fortunately, even though the plant monsters fought fiercely for territory, they never thought of crossing the line.
The days go on like this day by day.
It's snowing heavily and covered in silver.
Another winter.
All construction on the coast and in the mountains stopped, and everyone except those who stayed behind went home to celebrate the New Year. Every household put on lanterns and streamers, and wore furry clothes to buy new year's goods.
Lu Yaoye wandered around with his hands in his sleeves: "His Majesty will not attend the annual banquet this year. I feel that he is not as interested as in previous years."
"You have to give the gifts that need to be given, and you still need to make friends with many people. It's only once a year, don't be lazy, you know?" Lu Yu picked the Spring Festival couplets.
Although it's not as cold inside the shelter as outside, there's also quite a bit of coolness. There's a village specially built to enjoy snow and plum blossoms, and many people rush to go there.
"Most of my salary throughout the year is given away just by giving gifts. Do I earn it for them or for myself?" Lu Yaoye complained angrily, "I don't care anyway. Your Majesty won't participate this year, and I won't participate either. I'm leaving." As soon as he finished speaking, he left directly.
Lu Yu was stunned and shouted: "Where are you going? Hey, wait for me."
Putting down the Spring Festival couplets, he hurriedly caught up.
After leaving the city, we came to a village. The red and white plum blossoms in the courtyard were very beautiful.
The lingering cold fragrance attracts people to go inside.
Under the plum tree, a square table was set up. On the table, a fire was burning and sake was boiling.
Xu Junzhi and Xu Jin waited for a long time and had a bottle of wine early.
Lu Yu walked over with a smile: "I asked him why he didn't care about the New Year's banquet. It turned out that he had made an appointment with the two adults to enjoy plum blossoms and cook wine, which is much more interesting than drinking and drinking at the banquet."
Xu Jin poured wine by the glasses.
Xu Junzhi said helplessly: "What's the point of a New Year's banquet that His Majesty doesn't attend? It's better to hide and relax."
"Come on, let's do it." Lu Yaoye raised his glass, "Let's drink and get down. Tomorrow will be the excuse for our physical discomfort."
A few people laughed, clinked glasses and drank.
At the same time, Yuanyou received requests for leave from many people. Coincidentally, the excuses were surprisingly consistent, and they were all due to physical discomfort. Didn't he understand what these people were thinking and got them right one by one?
Su Rui and Fang Youan stood aside and sighed slightly.
Zhu Qinghong was relieved when he learned that many people asked for leave: "It's better to have fewer people. Just do it simple to avoid extravagance and waste."
"Yes." Yuanyou accepted the order.
In prosperous dynasties, capitals are often the most prosperous. Tianchong City is no exception. Who would have thought that it would be dilapidated and crumbling more than ten years ago?
Main Street.
He Yang accompanied his wife and children on shopping, and it was rare that he did not go to the palace to attend the annual banquet this year.
The family has a good time together and is happy.
Dongshuang was worried: "Are you really not going to have a banquet? What if your Majesty asks for punishment..."
"Your Majesty is so merciful, how can you hold me accountable for such a trivial matter? Besides, Your Majesty is not around, and I really don't want to deal with those flattering behaviors." He Yang put his arms around her shoulders, "This year our family will stay up late, so we don't have to get up early to go to the palace to see you. You and
The child can sleep at any time."
He Zhiqiu held He Yang's hand and said coquettishly: "Dad, let's buy that big lantern and hang it up. It's so beautiful."
"Dad, can I ask for a horse as a New Year's gift? My son is fourteen this year and can sign up for soldier training. I want a horse to practice first. Dad, is the training in the military camp strict? Is there any risk if he doesn't do it well?
Are you going to be beaten?" He Mingxia was a little worried.
"It's not strict. My son is so good that he will pass." He Yang touched his head.
Time flies so fast.
In the blink of an eye, his son is already fourteen, and he himself is thirty-two. In a few years, it will be the time for young people to show off their talents.
Starting from the fifth year of Yunhong, the law stipulates that men over the age of fourteen can voluntarily sign up for military camp training.
With excellent results during training, he can directly join the military camp when he reaches adulthood at the age of fifteen. He Mingxia has longed for it since he was a child, and finally has the opportunity to realize his dream.
Her sister He Zhiqiu is still smart, and many prestigious schools are interested in enrolling students. Her heart is in the judicial school run by the Judicial Yamen, and she wants to be a civil servant.
He Yang and Dong Shuang were very happy that both their children were outstanding. They held hands and bought gifts for their children, and they were extremely happy.
The New Year passed in the blink of an eye. In the twelfth year of Yunhong, all parties started to work one after another after the beginning of the new year.
The construction of the Demonic Forest came to an end in May, and the construction of the shipyard and surrounding areas also achieved results. Su Rui and Fang You'an visited Nanpei Country after consulting Zhu Qinghong.
Lu Yaoye, Xu Junzhi, Jiu Xi and A Qi accompanied them. In the name of Yunhong Dynasty, everyone talked about mutual benefit between the two countries under the banner of living as neighbors and making progress together.
The prince and other princes greeted each other, and various tests were conducted at the banquet, but no useful information was obtained.
The Nanpei Kingdom eats a lot of sea food. However, there are so many monsters in the sea that food is scarce every year during the siege.
The Yunhong Dynasty has no shortage of food and proposes that the two countries open trade with each other. It will be good for the prosperity and development of both countries if merchants get involved.
Maybe trusting or not is a difficult question.
If a country suddenly appears and talks about trade, everyone will be suspicious unless there is a solid bond between the two countries.
The prince made a suggestion: "Commander Su is not married yet. Why not form a marriage with the prince of our country and become a link of trade."
The smile on Su Rui's lips faded, and she nodded and said: "I will seriously consider it. Let's talk about this for today and say goodbye."
After saying that, the group left.
The sixth prince was worried: "Will they agree? I heard that the emperor of their country is the commander-in-chief. How can someone with such a high position be willing to marry into another country? Even if they agree to the marriage, I don't think it will be this commander-in-chief Su."
The prince was very confident: "For the sake of the country, she will agree. We should think about who to send to marry her."
On the way out of the palace.
Lu Yaoye sneered: "A toad wants to eat swan meat, but it doesn't look at its crooked melon and cracked dates."
"He actually proposed a marriage to Commander Su. This prince really has an idea. It's rare to see such a death wish." Jiuxi was speechless.
Xu Junzhi really didn't want to see those self-righteous faces: "I really thought we were here for diplomacy. Let them have good dreams for a few days, and then they will have time to cry. Then we should eat and drink, just waiting for the monsters in the sea to wreak havoc
Attack."
"Taking advantage of the situation. I like it." Archie snapped his fingers. He really wanted to see their expressions when they knew the truth.
Su Rui had a smile on her lips and said nothing.
The group of people returned to the residence where they were resettled, and went shopping and eating every day. They were not in a hurry, but the people in the palace couldn't let it go.
The prince went to Zhu Qinghong to discuss countermeasures: "From a political perspective, marriage is beneficial and harmless."
"How do you know whether it is beneficial or harmless to them? Is it too ideal to marry the emperor's right-hand man in just a few words?" Zhu Qinghong looked indifferent.
Rather than speaking of ideals, it is better to speak of overestimating one's capabilities. Su Rui is a leader with real power, and marriage can also be said.
For a moment, the prince frowned and sat down: "It's true that I was hasty. But there is no princess in their country, who is suitable for marriage?"
If there is any marriage, it should be annexed.
The Yunhong Dynasty annexed Nanpei Kingdom.
Zhu Qinghong smiled: "Maybe there will be a turn for the better."
"Fortunately, I have you." The prince nodded.
After Zhu Qinghong sent the people away, he met with the elders.
The ten elders and nine women were mostly supportive of her ambitions. It was obvious that they relied on their strength to fight against the demon, but they suppressed her at every turn.
Just because you are a woman, you must be subordinate to men. Just because you are a woman, you will not get the status you deserve even if you have great achievements.
Unfair, how unfair!
The elders agreed, and all the women in the Holy Maiden Palace followed. After hearing that they were talking to other countries today, the prince actually proposed a marriage.
The great elder sneered: "In the eyes of their men, women have only one way out: marriage."
"He is one person below ten thousand people in his own country, and he holds real power. He doesn't think about himself, so he shamelessly mentions marriage. He is so arrogant and arrogant, how can he be worthy of the position of prince. Shouldn't we take action? We don't want to be disgusted by them all the time.
."
Zhu Qinghong smiled: "The tide of demons is coming. It is inevitable that the princes who went to war will die in the battle. And the brothers in the palace were heartbroken after hearing the bad news. They were either bedridden or died in depression. The elders thought
What?"
All the elders showed admiration.
Fan You'an, who was accompanying him, always felt that there was still unfinished business, and all the princes died. The emperor died at the right time, and the Holy Lady's Palace, who had made the greatest contribution, would naturally take over the power.
But will the elders agree to Sister Zhu sitting on the throne? I'm afraid...
The elders are full of ambition. If they have the opportunity to join the Ninth Five-Year Plan, how can they give it up to others?
Zhu Qinghong smiled and lowered his eyes.
Fan You'an becomes more and more respectful. Will Sister Zhu survive the bloody storm?
After walking out of the Elder's Palace, she hesitated to speak.
Stopping in his tracks, Zhu Qinghong's eyes were confident: "There is no need to worry about me."
The situation has been laid and the net has been cast. All those who stand in her way will be cleared away and disappear quietly.
Zhu Qinghong has just returned to the Holy Lady's Palace.
The maid came to report: "The emperor's eldest grandson is here again. He got very angry and said he didn't want to marry."
The prince is really willing to give up.
I want the emperor's eldest grandson to marry Su Rui, it's just a fool's errand.
Zhu Qinghong went in and saw the emperor's eldest grandson smashing things everywhere without paying attention.
He raised the vase and was about to smash it, but the emperor's eldest grandson put it down without being ignored: "Why don't you comfort me?"
"If the emperor's eldest grandson doesn't want to, how do you know that the other party will? Don't worry, it won't happen." Zhu Qinghong sat down and poured tea.
"Seriously?" The emperor's eldest grandson came over and said, "Instead of marrying her, I might as well marry you. At least I really like you."
Zhu Qinghong smiled: "Thank you very much. Will the emperor's eldest grandson pay for the things he smashed?"
The emperor's grandson sat down unhappy: "You care more about these dead things than I do. What is it about me that you don't like?"
Every bit.
From appearance to interior, temperament, dress, etc., there is nothing that Zhu Qinghong favors.
No, it is somewhat worthy of praise.
The emperor's eldest grandson is just a suppressed child, not a person who truly desires power.
After everything is done, just save your life.
Seeing Zhu Qinghong's cold attitude, the emperor's eldest son reluctantly said goodbye. He turned back three times every step of the way, hoping to be stopped.
But it is doomed to disappointment.
After the emperor's eldest grandson left, Zhu Qinghong opened the system and contacted Su Rui: "The tide of demons is approaching, and the coastline has strengthened its defenses. All the twelve guards went to guard, and Fang An returned to coordinate. Pay attention to the situation in Nanpei Kingdom, and wait for the opportunity."<
/p>
"Okay, sister. I have a gracious request. Can you leave the prince to me? He is worth playing with."
Zhu Qinghong thought about it and agreed: "Yes. Except for the emperor's eldest grandson and Fan You'ao, everyone in Nanpei Kingdom can move."
