Having said this, Huang Qiong kissed Duan Jin's somewhat cold mouth and promised: "Today I also promise to Sister Jin that Meier will be the last one. I will never provoke her again. Any other women from aristocratic families will be guaranteed to grow old." Be honest. I also promise that as long as the Fan family doesn’t find out and the Fan family doesn’t do anything to harm Meier, I will never force Meier into the palace or take the initiative to go to the Fan family.”
Regarding Huang Qiong's guarantee, Duan Jin shook his head helplessly. But she also knew that this brave man who dared to poke a hole in the sky was already at his best. He has already made a promise, so what if he is angry? That is to say, this Lord treats him with sincere love, so he is so condescending. If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid they would have fallen out with him a long time ago.
Not to mention that men are superior to women in this world, even with his current status, he would not allow him to lower his posture in front of her like this. He is the crown prince of a country. Even if he ignores him, what can he do? Thinking of this, Duan Jin sighed silently, nestled in Huang Qiong's arms and said, "I also know that since ancient times, emperors have paid attention to the three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines."
"It's the Dali Kingdom. This is a small country in the eyes of your Daqi Dynasty. Since the founding of the country by Emperor Taizu, hasn't the emperor had many concubines? Back then, my father and the emperor loved my mother so much, didn't he also have more than a dozen? Concubine? But don’t forget, the greater your power as an emperor, the greater your responsibility. What you have to consider is not only your country and people, but also your wife and children."
"Although you never talk to us about government affairs, there are some things that we don't know nothing about even though we are in the harem. These days, sometimes you deal with affairs all night long. Sometimes, you just frown. One night. From this period of time, we all felt that now you have encountered a dilemma. This dilemma can make you who never show difficulty in front of us. "
"It's all so obvious in front of us. This predicament must not be small for you or the court. It may even endanger the stability of the world. Although I don't know much about government affairs, I am from the royal family after all. Even if I haven't eaten Pork has also seen pigs walking. The more it is at this time, the more you must unite all the people you can win over, so that it will be more beneficial to you. "
"I hope that the Fan family and the grandson couple, who have always maintained a transcendent status between the world and the court, will come to Beijing to see you in person. I am afraid that the Fan family will occupy a very important position in your future thoughts. The Fan family The Sun couple came to see you. It should be that they or the Fan family have made some kind of choice that is more beneficial to you. In other words, they can be regarded as your allies. "
"As for making you determined to win over the Fan family as a support, I am afraid that your opponent this time, except for the Guilin County Prince's Mansion, I don't think there is anyone else who can be so qualified. This is the truth in business. Guilin County The royal family has always been domineering in the shopping mall. Three or four-tenths of the world's wealth is in their hands. This huge wealth is a blessing but also a curse for anyone."
"Let me think about it, what makes you want to take action against your nominal father-in-law should be that you want to take back the Guilin County Prince's Palace, which has monopolized overseas trade rights for hundreds of years. You know that the Guilin County Prince's Palace is not an arbitrary They are soft persimmons rubbed by others. They will never be honest and hand over this exclusive right that has been enjoyed for more than a hundred years. On the surface, they may be honest, but in reality, they will definitely be constrained secretly."
"And you don't want to use the power of the imperial court to openly plunder and plunder. This will damage the reputation of the imperial court. After all, the Guilin County Prince's Palace has an ancestor who is known as the first hero of the founding of the country. If force is used, it will be easy for the imperial court to do so. It will attract criticism. When the time comes, the hearts of the people in the world will be overtaken by the Guilin County Prince’s Mansion. Money can make the world go round, and the Guilin County Prince’s Mansion is already the richest in the world.”
"Once the people's hearts are on their side, whether you Huang family can still sit still is another matter. And if you rely solely on the market game, let's not talk about those civil servants who only know how to drop their book bags. Is there such a talent? Even if there is, I am afraid no one will dare to take this job. After all, for those officials, the behemoth of Guilin County Prince's Palace is too dangerous.
"What's more, you don't trust those people. Because the Guilin County Prince's Palace, which is richer than the imperial court, can bribe those people at any time. If that doesn't work, you can also use assassination methods to completely get rid of that person. And you, the crown prince of the country, , and you can’t end the game yourself. That’s why you want to support the Fan family to fight against the Guilin County Prince’s Palace. Although the Fan family’s wealth is not as good as that over there, you can’t underestimate it.”
"Furthermore, the Fan family is inherited by martial arts, and there are many experts in the family. They are not afraid of the Guilin County Prince's Palace, who will jump over the wall to do things like assassination. And the most important thing is that the Guilin County Prince's Palace controls overseas trade. In Jiangnan The shopping mall is extremely domineering. As long as the Guilin County Prince's Palace is here, the Fan family will never be able to prosper. Although the Fan family controls the Northwest Silk Road, the Silk Road is far inferior to the shipping."
"Although the Western Regions are not as densely populated as those in the past, the Uighurs are not a good thing, especially when the Uighurs are in chaos. I am afraid that the Fan family's Silk Road is not easy to walk. The Fan family does have many masters, but A big tree can also attract the wind. The imperial court is thinking about the Guilin County Prince's Palace, Huihe and the Silk Road countries, and it may not miss the Fan family. After all, no one will dislike having too much money to burn their hands."
"I'm afraid that at this time, the Fan family is also eager to find a way out. Not only do you have the great righteousness of the court, but you also have Fan Jian in your hands. The Fan family is destined to stand with you. But you and Nangong Mei have become involved. Together, aren't you pushing your allies towards your enemies? Even if the Fan family asks for help from you, they are a family after all, and what they have to consider more is their face."
"Their head of the family has always been known as an old fox in the world of martial arts and shopping malls. If they really know about it, if nothing else, they will stand on a neutral side in your fight with the Guilin County Prince. From your standpoint, waiting for the fishermen to reap the benefits will be enough for you to drink a pot of water. Even though your Huang family controls the world and is an emperor, you may not really have the upper hand when facing the Guilin County Prince's Palace."
"If you really lose to the Guilin County Prince's Mansion in this battle, you will lose not only the country and the people. Since ancient times, how many descendants of the emperors of the destroyed countries have had a good ending? We If these women follow you, you will be our heaven. If that day comes, we will probably die for you. But what about our children? Are you letting them die miserably at a young age?"
"Originally, we never asked about your political affairs. In addition to not being able to interfere in politics as a harem, the main reason is because we have confidence in our husbands. Although there are some minor problems, we can still control ourselves on major issues. But Now, you can even do this kind of thing to the wife of your potential ally, so how can we have confidence in you, and how can we not worry about you?"
Duan Jin's words made Huang Qiong feel ashamed. Especially those words that made us have more confidence in you were like a sledgehammer hitting his heart. Thinking about it now, I realized that just as she said, I had indeed gone too far and was too confident. Regarding this cooperation, I always felt that it was more that the Fan family wanted something from me, without considering too many things.
But now I think about it, what if the Fan family is really in trouble. Dogs will jump over the wall when they are anxious, let alone the Fan family? It is true that the Fan family is a businessman, and they value profits more. But he had forgotten that while the Fan family was a businessman, it was also a family with a reputation. Not to mention betraying you after knowing this, even if you don't betray, just sitting on the sidelines is enough to put yourself at a disadvantage.
His cooperation with the Fan family is actually mutually beneficial, and it is not a unilateral request from the Fan family. Before the Guilin County Prince's Mansion completely collapsed, it could even be said that he was still at a disadvantage. Leaving aside the aspect of being well-informed, I have a huge need for the Fan family. Ma Rui, who he is now secretly supporting with all his strength, also needs the Fan family to protect him from the revenge from the Guilin County Prince's Palace.
Although Ma Rui is very talented, compared to a century-old family like the Fan family, his foundation is still too shallow. If the Fan family cannot share most of the pressure for Ma Rui this time. Once the Guilin County Prince found out that he was hiding in secret, he directly transferred King Jing's smuggling fleet to Japan and Goryeo into the trading fleet of Ma Rui. It was just a matter of a snap of a finger to make him disappear into ashes.
Duan Jin's words today were like an enlightenment, making Huang Qiong immediately realize that he had gone astray before. If the Fan family wanted to discover the outside world and get a share of overseas trade, it would indeed be inseparable from the support of the imperial court. But without the support of the imperial court, the Fan family may not really be able to do well. For the Fan family, overseas trade is just another source of wealth and the icing on the cake.
Even if they don't do it and give up trade by sea, the Fan family may not really collapse. But if he left the Fan family, he would become half blind. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong realized his past mistakes. But Huang Qiong was really unwilling to give up on Nangong Mei. For a moment, Huang Qiong couldn't help but fell into a dilemma, and he stopped doing evil things to Duan Jin.
As for Huang Qiong, he never expected that Duan Jin could be so eccentric and see such a long-term view. Before, Huang Qiong knew that Duan Jin was usually unwilling to take care of things and was a bit loose-tempered. But she is extremely smart, and among the women around her, she is unparalleled. But Huang Qiong did not expect that Duan Jin was so smart and capable.
She had never mentioned to her that she would join forces with the Fan family to deal with the Guilin County Prince's Palace, but she had deduced it from the time Fan Dao and his wife came to Beijing. She had never mentioned government affairs in front of her, but she could easily detect that the court was in considerable difficulty. Moreover, through inference, he was able to infer almost everything, and his acumen even surpassed his own.
Fortunately, Duan Jin's temperament is somewhat similar to that of his mother, and he has no interest in government affairs. It turned out that more energy was put into practicing martial arts. Now he has taken flowers as his apprentice, and given birth to a son for himself, and has turned all his interest to flowers and his son. If one day, she really has such ambition. If it is not possible to be Wu Zetian's second best, then it is not possible for him to really be able to calm down.
Thinking of this and looking at Duan Jin's determined little face, Huang Qiong couldn't help but think of her mother's original training for her. If Duan Jin wanted to, she could cultivate a second self with her abilities. Of course, if she could change her careless nature. However, Huang Qiong would not say these words now. He decided to wait until the children were older before making any comments.
However, although it is too early to say anything about the child. But for Duan Jin's words, which could be said to be an ultimatum, Huang Qiong also knew that it would be impossible not to give an answer. Just like what he said to Duan Jin, he had to restore his wives' confidence in him. But just when Huang Qiong gritted her teeth and was about to say something, she saw Situ Huanshuang, He Yao and Cai walking in.
