"So... what does this woman do? What does this priest do?"
Tang Xiaobei looked surprised.
Sherlock Hook breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand and pointed towards the north: "Crossing this Bailan Mountain, opposite is another country - the Principality of West Asia. There are already many players who created characters in West Asia on the forum and are thinking about the way out. Now, if you join the church organization over there, you can learn skills from the church’s secret books, which are the holy scriptures!”
Tang Xiaobei blinked: "Is it so convenient? Would it be better if I go there and believe in a religion or something?"
After listening to her words, Sherlock Hook smiled bitterly: "Maybe... indeed, if it is so difficult for Simeng to learn skills and have to apprentice, there should be many people going to places like West Asia after the open beta."
Tang Xiaobei curled his lips: "Then according to what you say, doesn't it mean that everyone's skills are the same as what they taught you? It would be boring if that were the case!"
The conscientious Lao Wang who was standing next to the two of them was entranced by what he heard. He groped his chin and began to think deeply, as if he had thought of another idea to make money.
——————
Han Dongwen leaned against a mast of the starship, frowning and closing his eyes, gently pressing the bridge of his nose with his right hand.
The amount of information at this moment increased, and he was really overwhelmed.
Wen Yongxing still knelt in front of him, bowing to the ground and not getting up for a long time.
"You...you say it again."
Han Dongwen's voice was unusually anxious.
Wen Yongxing pondered for a moment and said solemnly:
"Those who surrender and betray their country surrender to Taka and cede territory in West Asia as tribute to avoid war and stabilize their power. This is exactly what the late Emperor Jingzong did!"
His voice was not loud, and only Han Dongwen could hear him.
"The late Emperor Jingzong..."
Han Dongwen let out a long sigh.
meaning is……
Is my father the traitor?
Was this mess left by him?
"His Majesty the late emperor gave in step by step and allowed Siam and Taka to encroach on Simeng. The National Law and Military Departments repeatedly remonstrated with no result. However, the late emperor believed that the imperial power was unstable because of fame and reputation, so he even tried to use the hands of Siam to bring the priest to the church. Introduce Simeng to suppress the two divisions."
Wen Yongxing paused and then said: "By the time of the death of the late Emperor, twenty-four of the twenty-five cities on the northern border had been cut off, leaving only Tianying City. Haizhou in the southeast had given way to more than ten islands, and the sea area had been withdrawn. Two thousand three hundred miles, really..."
"alright."
Han Dongwen raised his hand and signaled Wen Yongxing to pause.
This is what he calls the Hunjun. He is the most harmful to the palace maids. This is the heavy weight of the Simeng Jiangshan Sale.
"So, when Jingzong died, the two divisions who originally planned to remonstrate and even rebel in the name of saving the national flag no longer needed to take the stage. They only had to make a big fuss around me. In fact, they have already taken charge of Simeng, right?"
Wen Yongxing expressed his agreement with silence.
Han Dongwen took a long breath, and for a moment he didn't know how to digest the news.
Is this a good thing?
uncertain.
The two companies nominally vacated the throne for the welfare of the people. Perhaps they had such intentions in the beginning, but after so many years of fighting over themselves, has it changed and the first goal has become to seize power?
But you say he is a bad thing...
At least now, on his way to visit West Asia, he doesn't seem to have to worry about being attacked from both sides.
But on the other hand, if any treaty that is not conducive to Simeng is signed by then, Han Dongwen will not be surprised that Tantai Fu will push himself to the forefront. With a ready-made coward, there is no need to bear the reputation of a coward who has lost power and humiliated the country!
"Teacher, please get up."
Han Dongwen bent down and solemnly helped Wen Yongxing. The old man stood up tremblingly and said calmly: "This old minister has made irresponsible remarks about the late emperor. This is a serious crime of disrespect. Your Highness, please punish me."
After speaking, he straightened his back, closed his eyes and stretched his neck, like a knight waiting for judgment.
The wind blew quietly, picking up Wen Yongxing's robe.
Han Dongwen fluttered his long sleeves and stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "Old Wen Yongxing of Taishu Pavilion."
"...I'm here."
Wen Yongxing slowly lowered his head.
"The advice you have spoken is as clear as a mirror, and every word has a heart of blue blood. It is for me and Simeng, a rare and good minister. I will not punish you for today's offense, but from now on, if Taishu Pavilion stabs me in person, If you don't tell me directly, I will punish you with false words and disobedience today."
The words disappeared in the wind, and Wen Yongxing was silent for a long time.
His crime was not punished, but the condition was that he should continue to remonstrate directly in the future.
Han Dongwen's meaning couldn't be clearer.
Wen Yongxing took a deep breath, put his hands together and bowed deeply.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Han Dongwen only nodded, turned sideways with a solemn expression, and took a closer look at the large starship: "Teacher, which of the two chief ministers will go with me during this visit to West Asia?"
"Hard to say."
Wen Yongxing shook his head and said: "According to the characters of Tantai Fu and Jiang Ningyun, they will not leave easily while the other one stays in Simeng. Therefore, either they will accompany His Highness together, or both of them will stay in Simeng. "
After listening to his words, Han Dongwen pondered for a moment and then said: "So...how about the National Finance Department?"
National Finance Department.
Simeng is clearly in charge of the third division, so why don’t he hear much about this third force?
Could it be that one of the forces in one of these three departments has been attracted by one of the National Military Department or the National Law Department?
"National Finance Department..."
Wen Yongxing was silent for a while, and then said carefully: "The National Finance Division has always been inclined to protect the late emperor, but since the death of the late emperor, it has naturally been squeezed by the French Division Military Division because of this. At present, the power is weak, and there will be no disturbance for the time being. .”
A cold light suddenly flashed in Han Dongwen's eyes: "Has the National Financial Secretary ever collaborated with other countries to stabilize power like Jingzong?"
"this……"
Wen Yongxing paused and said:
"According to my understanding of the conduct of the General Secretary of the National Finance Department, His Highness will not be so arrogant. Your Highness should have some understanding if he meets with the General Secretary of the National Finance Department next time."
He said it very firmly, Han Dongwen could see it.
After a long conversation, the sun was setting and the clouds were burning. Han Dongwen stepped off the tall and magnificent star boat and walked back to his harem with one step at a time.
He was thinking about the next thing in his mind. He would visit West Asia in ten days. Who would go with him?
Needless to say, Xiu Bu, who is a guard, means that Li Zai will accompany him.
According to Tantai Fu's request, Chi Hanqing also wanted to accompany him.
Needless to say, little red beans, of course, bring them with you.
As for Wen Yongxing and Zhong Lilin of Taishu Pavilion, they should go together if they want to discuss the charter.
Consultation charter...
Han Dongwen remembered what Tantai Fu had said before leaving. He was responsible for accepting deals that he could accept after research.
This research cannot be done behind closed doors by the National Military Department and Taishu Pavilion. If this is the case, Jiang Ningyun and the National Legal Affairs Department are too weak.
Then, there will definitely be people who represent the interests of the two divisions. For the National Military Division, if Tantai does not return, it is very likely that Tantai Ming will be the one.
"Then I have to take Jiang Keyin with me again?"
Han Dongwen smacked his lips. If he didn't take her with him, Jiang Ningyun would have other ideas. It would be better to take the initiative to take Jiang Keyin with him as a gesture of goodwill.
While he was thinking about it, he turned around and told the palace maid who was following him: "Just bring the dinner to the dormitory, don't bother me too much."
To Han Dongwen's expectation, the palace maid panicked: "Your Highness, according to your previous instructions, dinner is prepared in Chiya Palace. This..."
Except for Xiao Hongdou, the maids in the palace often only said yes when facing Han Dongwen. They were so flustered now that they obviously heard "His Highness"'s different requests from elsewhere.
Han Dongwen sighed, understanding that this was arranged by Tantai Fu.
"Let's go to Chiya Palace."
