"Doubei Mei, the doctor there, was known at the time for his 'uprightness', and his words were followed. This is his determination."
After returning to Suiguo's capital, Zeng Shan, the superior official, reported the conflict. Suihou was very worried, as it was clear that he was breaking up.
Although I had anticipated this situation, being targeted by Quanyi Doushi, one of the four Doushi clans, was like a thorn in my back.
Unlike Baiju Doushi, a warrior who "looks indifferent to life and death and will fight if he doesn't accept it", Quanyi Doushi's energy is hard to say. Even in Sui State, Quanyi is influential and has countless in-law families.
In the entire country of Sui, there were fifteen or six rural scholars who married Dou's daughters. There were fifteen or six rural scholars in Sui Hou. Fifteen or six rural scholars could influence hundreds of thousands or two hundred thousand people.
These rural scholars were originally inherited from generation to generation. They were able to become rural scholars in the early days because Sui Guo served as the front line against Chu and had more military exploits.
There are some nobles who have their roots in Emperor Mu. The kings and ministers of the country are not necessarily tougher than these low-ranking nobles.
"Doubei Mei is just a sentiment. Now the Wu people are powerful and Li Jie is fierce. Thirty years from now, who knows who will control the ups and downs of the Huai River?"
Senior doctor Zeng Shanshan held an ivory jade in his hand, and his expression was a little solemn, "However, Chu is still a country of uncles and uncles in the south. As the country is weak, it is necessary to cultivate politics and train troops to prevent unexpected events."
Prepare for the worst, but still have to do it.
"It rains in summer, so the food supply is not good."
Sui Hou was in a dilemma. Whether it was for political affairs or military training, it all cost money. In fact, the food was just makeshift. I borrowed some from the Tang State or several nearby small countries. This year was over. As long as the harvest picks up again next year,
It's not a big deal.
But these days are no different than in the past. Countries are in conflict and there is a huge flow of talent. If you want the talent to work well, you don’t give them money... People have two legs, and you can’t dig out people’s kneecaps and prevent them from leaving.
.
A country like Suiguo is actually pretty good, but every year here in Suihou, there are always young scholars coming over to protest: Boss, you offer me so little money and you still want me to work, I’m very worried
It's so difficult...
Then, there is no more.
Those who are able to stay in Suiguo are all old friends of Suihou from past dynasties. There are also some people who have fiefdoms in Suiguo. The family business is here, so they have to work hard with the Houhou.
Of course, there are also more disgusting ones. For example, the dozen or so countrymen are all thinking about getting something from the in-laws of Chu State and then blackmailing the princes.
Even when our country was invaded by the Chu State several times, it was these countrymen who led the way.
Ever since Emperor Zhou became increasingly incompetent, Sui's status in the world has gone from bad to worse, and Chu has become the hegemon in the south. Except for Wu, no one has really taken advantage of Chu, not even their old rival Jin.
no.
"I heard that Li Jie has a lot of food in his hands. He can borrow food from the 'rebels'."
"I'm afraid I won't give it."
"Li Jie is lustful, Your Majesty."
The Marquis Sui was worried that Li Jie would not lend him food. After all, he had been secretly colluding with the Chu people before. Maybe it was like the Jing Man and the Ying clan who also knew that they were following Big Brother to cause trouble.
If Li Jie finds out about this and then holds a grudge, it would be nice if he doesn't fall out.
Borrowing food? Borrowing courage, maybe.
However, it was obvious that Dr. Zeng Shan had already made some calculations and reminded the boss that Mr. Li next door had obvious shortcomings.
"Landful..."
After murmuring for a while, Sui Hou thought of a few people and selected them. They were all daughters of concubines. It would not be a loss if they exchanged them for food.
Seeing Suihou's appearance, the superior doctor Zeng Shan didn't know what Suihou was planning, so he immediately reminded him: "Your Majesty, Li Jie is lustful, and he only wants to be extremely beautiful. I asked the Xia family in Liaocheng, if you want to use your maid as a servant.
As a beloved woman, I offer you Li Jie...Do you know, Your Excellency, what will happen to the Xia family now?"
"Xia family? But the Queen of Liao Kingdom?"
"Exactly."
"What happened to them?"
"Like dolphins and dogs, they live in the pens. Only the female Xia Liao family, with her stunning beauty, was able to save the lives of the male Xia family members."
"Ah?!" Suihou was shocked, "This...how could this Li Jie act like this?"
"Your Majesty..."
The doctor Zeng Shan's eyes suddenly became unkind. Is it interesting to talk about this kind of nonsense now? Is it interesting? Now is the time to complain about Li Jie's character? What the hell do you care about what he does? Even if he stands upside down and urinates, will he spiral into the sky?
Now the situation is stronger than the people. The local snake in Liaocheng just can't defeat Li Jie, and then he relies on a woman to save his life!
"I wonder if there is a beloved woman in your family?"
"..."
"..."
When the critical moment comes, Suihou is also willing to risk everything. What is the shame? What are you doing here? He has a stunning beauty, so he can save it if he can.
The ministers also looked like they had lost their jobs, but there was nothing they could do. If the country was ruined, they would also... It didn't matter. To whom should I proclaim myself a minister?
So after the prince asked the question, the officials pretended to be dead.
All the doctors were staring at the objects in their hands. Even the doctor Zeng Shan acted like he was the boss and could handle this matter himself.
Zeng Shan would not give any suggestions, and he could not open his mouth.
If he suggested that Suihou take out the beauties of his family for trading, this would be a big taboo. Suihou must let Suihou understand it by himself, and let Suihou speak by himself.
Suihou opened his mouth. Only those who are ministers can say: Oh, boss, you are indeed wise and powerful. This decision is great! You have courage! You have courage! What a hero!
Whatever you say is nice, just say it.
So in public, the kings and ministers of the country tested each other there.
Suihou first took out several concubines and chatted with them. The ministers commented one after another. Some said that this one was too fat, some said that this one was too thin, some said that this chin was too pointed, some said that this one had double eyelids...
In short, Ji Concubine can’t do it.
Dr. Zeng Shan also tactfully reminded the boss that he was the concubine obtained by Boqi, the former Taizai of Wu State, from his mission to Yue State. She also gave it to Li Jie intact, but I didn’t hear that after playing with it,
I’ll give it to you again, boss, do you understand?
Suihou's face suddenly twisted into a chrysanthemum, he understood, why didn't he understand? These courtiers just wanted him to take out his daughter or sister.
It is unlikely that she is a sister. After all, she is too old. If she is sent to Li Jie, she will probably serve as a godmother.
As for my daughter...
Sui Hou said a few words tentatively, and the ministers began to comment again. Some said that this sensible and filial man should be kept, and some said that this smart and clever one should also be kept.
It wasn't until Suihou mentioned someone who was almost married to the Chu State as a wife that the ministers shut up, and at the same time showed a meaningful silly smile, and kept laughing "hehehehe" there.
"well……"
Marquis Sui liked this daughter very much, so he planned to marry her off to the King of Chu. Halfway through the process, everything was settled, but the King of Chu got upset.
Then there is nothing you can do, you can't marry a dead person.
I want to marry the new king, but Zhao Ji’s son is still a little kid now. If my daughter gets married, she still has to wait for her husband to grow up...
"Who wants to be the messenger?"
After sighing, Suihou asked his ministers again, it is not easy to be a boss these days.
Mergers and annexations of all kinds are happening every day, and disputes among countries are caused by the big countries getting angry and the small ones surviving.
Without the support of Emperor Zhou, Suiguo's international status is deteriorating. Now, it is weaker than Huaishang. In fact, the eldest brother does not laugh at the second brother.
At this moment, Sui Hou even knew that although the nobles of Sui State looked down on Li Jie, they all wanted to use Li Jie's force to solve many problems.
"I would like to go to Huangcheng and Baiyi in person. Now that Dou Bomei has withdrawn from Lingguan, the victory of the battle at Xiguan must have been decided. If the 'Guoshi of the Negative Arrow' defeats Li Jie, how can Dou Bomei swallow his anger?"
"good."
Sui Hou nodded and suppressed his excitement after listening to the analysis of the superior doctor Zeng Shan. Over the years, Chu State had suffered in front of Sui State, which was only possible with the help of two talents from Wu State.
Gou Chen was not lecherous, so there was nothing he could do about it, but Li Jie was lustful, and he could do whatever he wanted.
After the monarchs and ministers of the country finalized the plan, the senior official Zeng Shan sent the "Walker" first to Li Jie's army.
