If she was ruthless and uncaring about her mother country, could she still be so obsessed with her? What's more, it is already obvious that the Dali family is strong and the royal family is weak. Keeping such a self-righteous and complacent person in that position, who keeps making stupid moves, is indeed not in line with his own intentions. What I need is someone who can maintain the current balance.
It's not just a puppet. Even if he doesn't take action against the Shanchanhou Mansion, it is a foregone conclusion that the Shanchanhou Mansion will be weakened. They may even fall into self-preservation for a long time. Without the stronger and tougher Shanchanhou Mansion to suppress them, those already ambitious families in Dali, like the Yang family and the Dong family, might not necessarily be honest.
If a person who uses low-level political tactics as a means of governance is allowed to remain in that position, I am afraid that the country of Dali will be at war. As far as Guo Chen, the military commander directly under the royal family, was as powerful as garbage. To suppress the rebellion, we can only point to the clan army. I am afraid that even checks and balances cannot be achieved. As long as some efforts can be given, the Shanchanhou Mansion will not be so big.
Even if the emperor does not change by then, there may not be anyone who can coerce the emperor to order the princes. The emergence of any dominant company in Dali is not in line with my next step. Although he has no intention of annexing Dali, he still has to decide on Dali’s copper. There is no way, now copper is money. Without copper, let alone making money, not even cannons can be made.
Japan and Korea also produced copper, but they were far overseas and were subject to too many constraints and changing factors. One borders Northern Liao, and the source of copper may be cut off at any time. In the current money-making situation, which is dominated by money-making, and cannot be changed for the time being, one must ensure the source of copper in various ways. Especially in the next step, I have to make some adjustments to the Wuwei Bank.
The more Huang Qiong thought about it, the more he felt Duan Jin's method. Not only will it not affect your next step, but it will actually give people the feeling of killing two birds with one stone. Huang Qiong couldn't help but smile bitterly after thinking for a long time. Perhaps, this is the real Duan Jin. A woman with every bit of talent, scheming, and vision. If it is really necessary, her scheming and skill will not be worse than anyone else.
The carelessness she displays in her daily life is just because she is too lazy to care. Or to put it simply, in order not to worry about the harem, I have been tolerant. If she really gets scheming, which of the women around her is considered a rival? This is the real great wisdom. In comparison, Dong Qianhong's little things are not even smart.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong opened his eyes and smiled silently. Huang Qiong knew that he had underestimated Duan Jin after all. He left the second son of the emperor to her as a mother, so it seemed that he didn't have to worry too much. I just need to grasp the general direction on certain things. However, when he thought of his other sons, Huang Qiong couldn't help but secretly shook his head.
However, looking at the lively scene in front of him, he felt much happier at the moment and temporarily put other things behind him. Unable to bear it any longer, he grabbed the woman next to him and pulled her onto him. After the storm ended, Huang Qiong felt refreshed again. After returning to the study, Huang Qiong wrote a letter to Guo Chen, ordering him to deliver a letter to the King of Dali, asking to stay in Shanchan Mansion for a while.
Putting down his pen, Huang Qiong sent someone to send the letter out as soon as possible. He sat leisurely on a rocking chair, enjoying the sunset leisurely, and watching the people in the yard busy packing their luggage and preparing to set off tomorrow. But that night, Huang Qiong originally thought that Shan Chanhou's former subordinate would try his best to rob the prison. As a result, Huang Qiong did not expect that this night would be very peaceful.
In the early morning of the next day, Huang Qiong marched towards Shanchan Mansion with the army and horses around him without any hesitation. Along the way, everyone except Duan Jin and Duan Miao, who was injured, were riding in a carriage. Among the entire team, he was the only one who had the honor of riding in a carriage. It was Shan Chanhou who had only one leg left and was shackled all over his body. It's just that his carriage is a real prison carriage.
Not only are there fences made of rough wood on all sides. Around the prison van, there were even brighter knives and guns pointed at him. If the martial arts were still there, this prison car and the ordinary soldiers guarding him would naturally not be taken seriously by him. But now that his martial arts has been abolished, even if he wants to die, he can only stay in the prison car without any other options.
But what Huang Qiong didn't expect was when the prison car holding Shan Chan Hou drove out of the cell where he was held. From the prison cell to the outside of the city, there were many local people kneeling on both sides of the road, kowtowing and crying towards him. If it weren't for the cavalry who opened the way in front, using swords, guns and riding whips to forcefully clear the way, those people would have even crowded in front of the prison car. Kneel down to block the prison car and prevent it from leaving.
Although Huang Qiong could not understand a word these people said. But Huang Qiong could still see the expressions on the faces of these people. Looking at the people along the way, not kneeling to himself, the emperor of the Qi Dynasty, but to the prisoners in the prison car, Huang Qiong, instead of being angry, sighed. He didn't expect that this person was so loved by the people.
Although Huang Qiong understood that the news of capturing this person must have been someone who deliberately walked out. Consciously muddy the waters to give them a chance to fish in troubled waters. But the expressions on the faces of these people cannot be deceived. It seems that apart from being a man of power, this person is not useless at all. At least here, we have done something beneficial to the people. Otherwise, people will not miss it.
The common people of this era are far from being corrupted thousands of years later and everything is profit-oriented. Relatively speaking, the common people are still quite simple. The official knew that he was good to them. It is enough to allow these ordinary people to come and desperately block the convoy at the risk of being massacred by the Qi army. After a moment's hesitation, Huang Qiong told the people leading the way to use their riding whips only if they encountered obstacles.
As for Duan Yan'er's attempt to translate for him, he stopped the people from saying anything. Pointing at the people kneeling on the ground with a riding crop, Huang Qiong sighed: "What they want to say has already been shown on their faces. I also know that the current situation must be caused by someone who wants to fish in troubled waters and deliberately creates It came out. But the expressions of these people cannot be faked."
"It seems that this person has at least done some good things to the people here. At least he has not done anything that would break the bones and suck out the marrow. In this regard, his moral integrity is stronger than that of most officials in Daqi. Until now. , there are very few people who admire him. But the scene in front of me makes me somewhat respect this person. If this person is not such a threat, I would really like to let him go."
Huang Qiong's words made Duan Yaner's expression darken somewhat. She originally thought that if Huang Qiong saw the scene in front of her, she would at least let that person go. Although that person was more of a use to him at the beginning. But after all, no matter what, he saved the lives of his mother and daughter. It was his intervention that made the Dali Emperor and the Ailao Mountains finally give up their pursuit of him.
During this period of time, Duan Yaner had been wanting to plead with Huang Qiong to let him live. Now he has become a useless person, and the tribal army that once ran rampant in Dali Kingdom has also been wiped out. At this point, let alone Daqi, there is no longer any threat to Dali. Killing him or not has no impact on the overall situation. In this case, it is better to save his life.
Even if it is, it will be closed for a lifetime. Duan Yaner wanted to intercede with Huang Qiong several times, but in the end she didn't dare. He went to Duan Jin to intercede, but Duan Jin flatly refused. Duan Jin even told her that if she didn't want to cause trouble for her two daughters, she shouldn't mention it again. Even though that man was gentle and considerate, he was still the most powerful Emperor of Qi.
As an emperor, you have the majesty of an emperor, and you also have his own set of rules for dealing with problems. The emperor may not care what Gao Zhisheng did to Dali. But for what he did to Da Qi, no emperor would be merciful in dealing with it unless he no longer wanted the throne. Therefore, she must not mention this matter, nor can she beat around the bush.
Even though she received the most severe warning from Duan Jin, Duan Yaner was still somewhat unwilling to give up. The current situation made her feel compassionate again. Using this excuse, I still wanted to open my mouth to plead for that person. As for Duan Yaner's intention, Huang Qiong couldn't detect it. However, Huang Qiong waved his hand and said: "Yan'er, I can roughly guess what you are thinking."
"I still appreciate you being kinder. But kindness also has to be divided into the right people, and it has to have a bottom line. Some people are not worthy of your kindness. A moment of soft-heartedness may be exchanged for more. Raising a tiger brings danger. Just like your ex-husband back then, and him now. If I let him go this time, if one day I fall into his hands, will he let me go."
"Before, he hooked up with the puppet emperor, and continuously supplied the puppet emperor with armaments and copper for casting cannons. Without his supplement, the puppet emperor's rebellion strength would be reduced by at least half. Now he hooks up with the destitute people of Shu, and instigates the prince to rebel internally. Every move will lead to my death. If I leave him alive, sooner or later he will bite me back. People are harmless to tigers, but tigers never forget to hurt others."
"Not to mention anything else, we fell into his hands that day. Think about it, what will happen to me, Sister Jin, Sister Min and Sister Ling, and even the three of you? By then, Even if I and you guys want to die a happy death, I'm afraid it's impossible. Even if he is close to the people and loves the people, even if he does the things he does, I can't possibly spare his life."
"He is a superior, and his treatment of the people is just a small kindness. But the evil things he did are all great evils. When the false emperor was trapped in Wuzhou and Nanning, he not only directly sent troops to support, Sent military attachés to take over the war, prolonging the war for the imperial court to suppress the rebellion. As a result, how many people in the two cities died tragically in the war? How many innocent young adults had their families ruined and their families were destroyed, and they became the maidens in their dreams?"
"If the false emperor had been defeated and he had stopped in time, I might have let him go. But not only did he not stop, he became more and more unscrupulous, which led to the spread of the war and the destruction of many people's lives. He is such a big man. Evil man, if I let him go, even if I lock him up for life, how can I face the people and soldiers of the two countries who died in vain in the war because of him?"
If I hadn't been extremely fond of Duan Yan'er who still retains a trace of innocence and kindness even though she is already in her forties, I would even hope that her temperament could be maintained. How could Huang Qiong have thought about explaining so much to her? Especially when he was pleading for another man in front of himself. It was just that he liked Duan Yan'er's simplicity, so Huang Qiong ignored her transgression.
