705 The Wretched King and Minister Are Looking for Fun
Releasing Cai Dong will indeed create obstacles for Li Jie. After all, Cai Dong is the legitimate king of Cai State. If Li Jie wants to stop him, he can only kill Cai Dong. If he can do it halfway, he should kill Cai Dong after he returns to Xincai.
, all the same, no difference.
But this is a little black spot, and for Li Jie, it is completely unnecessary.
After all, Cai Guo's white lotus is not in vain. What's the point of asking Li Jie to kill his wife's brother?
His goal in life is not to become king and dominate, but to have a few stunning beauties in his life, that's about it.
Everything is to serve the beauty of the world, not the other way around.
Hongtu Hegemony has a purpose, but if it dies, it won’t be just two square meters?
Maybe not yet.
Former Foreman Li and now Director Li have not only undergone earth-shaking changes in their social status, but also a drastic change in the social environment.
Anyway, when Li Jie was still the foreman, he was very happy to do "shaking" and watch the big girl twisting and twisting with all kinds of flesh exposed in the clothes.
I brushed my fingers non-stop, and the day passed.
Nowadays, it is not uncomfortable to be in charge of the jobs of hundreds of thousands or millions of people. As long as he can play with the best in the world, then he will work hard and defeat this one and destroy that one.
If you really want to fight for the 95th Supreme, then you can't get a pack of "Ninety-Five Supreme", even if he doesn't smoke.
Gusu is now playing such a little trick. To be honest, Li Jie not only doesn't feel awkward, but even finds it quite fun.
"Your Majesty, if Gusu is really going to send it back to Marquis Cai, we must investigate it."
Liuba, who had some time to rest these days, finally had ten days and a half of vacation after returning from abroad.
Unfortunately, after only three days of rest, strange news came from Gusu, which made Liuba very unhappy.
As a top diplomat, Lyuba's current "record" is becoming more and more brilliant.
Also mixed with the title of "glib tongue".
Coupled with the allusion of "a thousand pieces of gold and a promise", Lyuba can be called the idol of the Huainan people.
The international benchmark for diplomats has now been replaced by Lyuba.
"What do you think?"
"Taishu Mao wants to take this opportunity to cause trouble. Gusu must think that your Majesty will not allow Marquis Cai to return to the country."
"But what if I ask Director Cai to come back?"
"Sir, are you serious?"
"really."
Li Jie smiled and said, "He is just a useless king. Don't you know what is going on in Cai State now? Even if Director Cai comes back, he is just a decoration. I will reward him with a bowl of rice. Can he still rebel?"
"
"There are always people who want to take advantage of the situation. Your Majesty, you still have to be careful."
"The old rule is to despise it strategically and pay attention to it tactically. What we look at is the overall situation. They toss theirs and we toss ours. It has nothing to do with each other."
Liuba grinned. He was already ugly, but now he was smiling in a vulgar way, which made him even more grotesque. "The wise words of your Majesty will be remembered by me."
"Your current level of flattery is irreversible."
"I will strive to improve in the future."
"Well, when you are praising, you should have the feeling of 'moisturizing things silently', invisibly, and making people ecstatic. Of course, this kind of high-end gameplay cannot last long. If I am in a bad mood, I may
I’ll pretend not to understand. Forget it, I’ll be more direct in the future.”
"Yes, I will keep it in mind. I have benefited a lot from your teachings..."
"Well, that's it, keep it up."
As a vulgar and vulgar person, Li Jie likes this kind of rough and unabashed flattery, which can make people feel very happy throughout the day.
The monarch and his ministers chatted for a while. Liu Ba thought for a while and asked Li Jie: "Your Majesty, why don't you scare Gu Su?"
"How to say?"
Li Jie suddenly became energetic. Teasing others is also a good entertainment activity.
These days, when you don’t even have to watch TV, what else can you pursue besides being stunning in the world?
gourmet food?
Most of the delicacies these days are his own inventions.
sorrow.
When looking for fun can only choose from a few things that go around in circles, people will be bored and get moldy...
"Your Majesty then said that he was willing to go to Gusu to greet Marquis Cai. At the same time, he sent an envoy to inquire with the King of Wu. He asked if there had been any changes in the tomb of the 'Emperor of Heaven', which made Cai Dong feel homesick and want to return. What if the late emperor's mausoleum had been there for a long time?
Since there was no one to take care of it, Your Majesty said that he would like to go and pay homage to the late Emperor."
His eyes rolled, and when Liuba came up with this bad idea, he was rubbing his whiskers while talking. He looked very much like a dog-headed military counselor.
The more Li Jie listened, the more he felt that if he really did this, it would be Gusu who would suffer the most.
Anyway, he doesn't care whether Cai Dong comes back or not. Anyway, the relationship between Cai State and Cai Dong is probably only half a Yin coin. Once he dies, the entire Cai State will be smoothly merged into Hanzi State.
As for now, it's just a trusteeship. With Master Cai's status in the world, who can say that Master Cai is a traitor?
Of course it’s okay to say it, but someone has to admit it, right?
"Wow, you are really getting worse and worse."
Li Jie patted Liuba on the shoulder with great satisfaction, "You have become like that old guy."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
With a smile, Liuba also felt that he had a good chance of becoming "the second in Ziqi". Of course, it would be even better if he was "the first in Xialiu".
At this time, Lyuba's suggestion was really bad.
Regardless of whether Taishu Mao accepts the move or not, he will always be in a dilemma.
There is no way to prevent Li Jie from sending armed troops to escort Cai Dong back to China, because it was Li Jie who sent Cai Dong to Suzhou in the first place.
Everyone in the outside world knows that this credit was given by the "Emperor".
If Taishu Mao really said that Li Jie would not be allowed to greet Dong Cai, Li Jie would not care personally, but the old aristocratic people in Gusu would definitely jump up and punch Taishu Mao in the knee.
But if Taishu Mao asks Li Jie to send armed forces to escort, then this matter has to be discussed again. How many people are coming? How to pick them up? In Jiangnan or Jiangbei? In Jiangyin or Haiyang?
A little wrangling, it will only last a year and a half. By then the Qilu dispute will be over, and this shit will not be settled yet.
But if Tai Shumao said forget it, which is what he said, then Li Jie followed the trend and asked the second question: Is there something wrong with the late emperor's mausoleum? Is there no one to guard the tomb? Is there no one to weed it?
Pay tribute?
You should care, you should.
Taishu Mao had to deal with more and more troubles.
The first question is, do you want to argue that the word "Xiandi" is used incorrectly? Don't argue, you will lose if you argue.
But can we turn a blind eye to this matter and not hear it?
Obviously not.
The second question is, is it because Gusu's economy is in dire straits and even the food in the thatched cottage in front of the mausoleum is a bit unsatisfactory? This made the situation of King Cai Guo, who was guarding the tomb in front of the mausoleum, so difficult that he had to return to his country?
If it is indeed a difficulty, then just speak directly. How can we lose the dignity of the late emperor's mausoleum? Food and shelter must be provided, and the tomb-keepers and mourners must be able to have food and clothing without worries!
The third question is, should Li Jie be allowed to pay homage to the late emperor?
If you give up, then Li Jie will set off. The battle between Qi and Lu is none of his business? How can it be more important to pay homage to the late emperor? This is the way to be a minister, in one word: loyal!
But if he refuses to give in, then there is something to say. Li Jie, a man, is also a macho man appointed by the king. Well, even if this title does not count because of the existence of a man, he is still a feudal man in Yinxiang.
The lord was theoretically still a subject of the late emperor.
Even his son Li Lei's fiefdom, Leiyi, was also fiefdomed by the late emperor. Who knows about it inside and outside Gusu?
There is also the title of Mrs. Yinxiang, which was given by the late emperor himself in order to promote Meidan so that her status would not be too "lowly".
The relationship between the monarch and his ministers is deep and righteous. It is reasonable and common sense to sweep the tomb and offer incense.
No matter which one of these three questions, Taishumao would be driven crazy. In the final analysis, Taishumao did not dare to really let Li Jie go to Gusu.
And he may have overestimated Li Jie's absolute desire for power. A normal king, after annexing another country, would like to quickly kill the king of his country from top to bottom.
However, Li Jie didn't have this idea at all. Fu Cheng's predecessor was Bi Yangguo, so what about Bi Yangzi?
The predecessor of Tancheng was Tan State. What about Tan Zhuangzi?
The kings of the Huainan kingdoms are also alive and well, and sacrifices are still going on, but they just can't enjoy the national sacrifices.
The specifications are smaller, but the specifications are not gone.
The establishment of the Han Dynasty did not rely on the aristocratic group under the patriarchal system. The more diligent Li Jie was in literacy, the lower the demand for feudal nobles.
Even if these big nobles were to be spared their lives, even if they wanted to call for an army, someone would have to follow them.
Of course, maybe one or two hundred years later, someone will rebel and raise this banner again, but what banner will be used at that time? Will Li Jie be able to climb out of the coffin, or will he travel through time again?
To put it bluntly, Mr. Li is not afraid of anyone acting under the banner of Director Cai.
Someone in Suzhou wants to stir up trouble, or maybe they want to hold back the Hanzi Kingdom, so that the senior officials of the Hanzi Kingdom have to be distracted, so that the Hanzi Kingdom does not dare to invest too much power in the Qilu battlefield.
However, those people in Gusu who have good plans don't know that Li Jie and Liu Ba are just taking this opportunity to have some fun.
"Your Majesty, this time, let me go to Gusu."
"Aren't you on vacation?"
"You can have holidays at any time, but things can't be done casually. Please take care of your Majesty's important matters first."
Liuba smiled and said solemnly, "Calculating the time, the news came out of Gusu around the same time that there were 230,000 reinforcements coming from Fucheng. Going south along the Hangou, if we hurry up and hurry up, we can finish it in one day.
Spread the news from Fucheng to Gusu."
"It seems like they don't want to see us grow bigger."
"If it is true or false, I will go to Gusu to find out."
"Okay, since you want to go, then go ahead. But again, strategically despise, tactically attach importance to it. I will first order someone to contact Chang Jie. Now he is the 'Great Chang Attendant'. If there is any trouble,
, I can’t hide it from him.”
"With his secret help, it's much safer."
This arrangement is obviously more secure. Although Liuba is confident, it does not mean that he is not afraid of death.
What if Tai Shumao just wanted to assassinate the top leaders of Hanzi Kingdom?
Caution is the boat.
The wretched monarchs and ministers, as in the past, made decisions quickly and implemented them quickly.
From the time Liuba made such a suggestion to the time it was implemented, it took only the time for a meal.
Three days later, someone in Huainan reported that at the end of the Dabie Mountains, the Hanzi Kingdom had begun to build a water village along the river.
Military fortresses were formed around each water village.
The military fortress has expanded into a population gathering area. Once enough population is established, administrative management can be issued.
No matter how jealous Gusu is of Li Jie, or how intertwined love and hatred are, the passage to Huainan, especially the Shaopi area, has been opened, and the wealthy families of the Five Lakes have not stopped because of fear.
Go from here.
As long as there is a certain number of lurkers and a group of experienced punters, the slow flow zone can easily move upstream.
In the past, the traditional trade route of Wu State was to transport goods to Huai County and then from Huai County to Biyang State.
Today, this trade line has not changed, but a new transportation route has been added, and it is mature and safe. For the wealthy families of Wudu, there is nothing more intimate than this.
Don't say that Li Jie didn't openly rebel, he just rebelled. As long as the profits were huge, he was called "the blood of the late emperor", and his face was thrown to the ground and trampled on casually. As long as he said he was disgusted and his face was dirty, they would lose.
Just when the Qi State was making every effort to make a fuss in Yangguan, the brilliant achievements of the "peachy macho man" could no longer attract the attention of the Wu people.
After all, the genuine macho man suddenly said that he would visit the tomb of the "Emperor of Heaven", and it had spread to everyone north and south of Huai River.
Even the illiterate old man Yihu scolded Li Jie, but he still praised him. This man deserves the word "loyalty and filial piety" in his work.
If the dog barbarians are like this, let alone the people of Gusu who have a relatively high level of education?
When I heard that the "strong man with royal destiny" who had been away from home for several years without returning home was finally coming back, the atmosphere inside and outside Gusu was filled with joy.
After all, it reminds them of a lot of good times.
For example, dispersing wealth, increasing income, and buying and selling in and out of Yinxiang. These are all memories of the past that were filled with profits and "good things."
Only when you lose it do you realize how precious it was.
Very good, very good!
In the Gusu Palace, the young King Wu was a little nervous at the court meeting. His grandfather was revered as the "Emperor of Heaven", and he was originally very happy.
But after Taishu Mao explained it, he realized that this was a trap, and it was an invincible trap.
Li Jie, who was born as a savage, was messing around, and others would just smile. After all, savages are rude.
But if he, King Wu, nodded in agreement and said that his grandfather was the "Emperor of Heaven", then he would have to explain this matter carefully.
The wealthy families of the Five Lakes actually don't care. The Emperor is the Emperor. Anyway, the King of Wu is not their family.
But this does not prevent the wealthy people from all over the world from taking the opportunity to raise objections, wondering whether doing so will cause unnecessary international disputes. Friendship countries will be surprised and confused, and may not be able to resolve the conflict.
The blame will be placed on you. The one who takes the blame will not be the wealthy people from the five lakes. Whoever becomes the king of Wu will take the blame.
But if you don't admit it, it's unfilial. After all, the late king is such a domineering person. There is absolutely no need to embarrass the emperor Zhou. What happened to the emperor?!
For the late king to become the great emperor, does he still need the recognition of you, the Emperor of Zhou?!
If someone is blamed for being unfilial, he will be wronged more than anyone else.
At this moment, Wu Wanghui was under great pressure and said in a childish voice, somewhat uneasily: "How should you decide on the return of this man?"
The ministers in the court were very calm and did not express their opinions. In short, they were just pretending to be dead.
