"Ah, King You was assassinated. He can't afford to be seriously injured, right?" When this news was delivered to Zhuang Xun, Zhuang Xun was still a little dazed.
The news is great, the only bad news is why the others didn't die.
"This is the information I got. Another information is that the imperial court has sent food again. I asked if there would be more troops to resist the invasion of Youguo. I have already replied that I don't need to." Si Qinmi said with amusement.
"Seeing that there is something to be gained, right? I asked for help one by one and let me handle it myself." Zhuang Xun looked down upon them and didn't think much of these courtiers.
Naturally, we couldn't say that we were cooperating with Chengguo to attack Youguo at the beginning. The information given to the court was that Youguo was preparing to attack and asked for reinforcements.
Then the imperial court said that it could only provide some food and grass for the defense. Now, it was discovered that it was not a defense but an attack, and someone wanted to disrupt the situation.
"They have always been like this. The idea of defending and counterattacking this time is thanks to the help of the Holy Spirit. Otherwise, it would be difficult to fool them." If he can treat the ministers like monkeys like this, he must have the emperor's endorsement. Si Qinmi also understands the Yu Kingdom. Official ecological.
In other words, the official ecology of the world is like this. If there is danger, we will hide and if there is benefit, we will pursue it. It is not surprising or surprising.
"I want to thank you. To be honest, I was too kind to people before. I thought I should go and rob You Country instead of his country." Zhuang Xun sighed and said, after all, being a white-eyed wolf is quite stressful. People give people money and give them all kinds of things, and in the end you usurp their dynasty.
There was no one around, and the couple talked privately. Zhuang Xun felt that it was really like that. He was quite a beast, but it was different now. He felt much more at ease.
"You want to unify the world and rule over the nine states. It will be of great benefit to them that the benevolent Lord can occupy your position, just like the Holy Sage is willing to meditate on you." Siqin Mi is like a Confucian who found the basis for Zhuang Xun's rule. It's quite natural to say this.
"I'm not a benevolent master. You can tell me this kind of real benevolent master, just like the Emperor Wen I told you, who can make the people rich and frugal. I can't."
Zhuang Xun has repeatedly emphasized that he is not a good person, he is really not, but he feels that everyone who meets him thinks that he is a good person, which makes him feel very distressed. Even the person next to him is like this, and he himself To feel tamed.
"Why can't you do it? You have concubines and sister Li, so why can't you do it? In the future, you may have Concubine Li from Chengguo and Jiutian Xuannv. Why can't you do it?" Si Qinmi encouraged Zhuang Xun and expressed his feelings. Talented women are recorded.
"Ah, you dare to say this. Putting aside the Xuannv Empress, Concubine Li is Si'er's sister." Zhuang Xun's eyes widened. It turns out that I am not a good person, but everyone around me is a bad person.
"Didn't King Cheng promise to give you all his things in the underworld? He also asked Lang Jun and Concubine Li to go to the garden. Besides, what happened to my sister? You still care about this. There are many taboo things, both mother and daughter, sisters. It's already normal." Si Qinmi said naturally, and Zhuang Xun didn't know what to say for a while.
"He also promised to give me the country. Did you see that he gave it to me? I don't understand why the King of Wheels didn't let him die." Zhuang Xun couldn't understand that although he was the judge, King of Wheels really let him judge. , in the end, the other party really made the Rotation King agree, but He Tan did not agree.
"The country can't give it directly, and you can't bear it, but don't worry, it's all yours. Looking at some recent information, I can now understand a little bit of the meaning of His Majesty the King of Wheels. He is truly worthy of being a god."
Si Qin Mi seemed to understand something and said thoughtfully. He looked at Zhuang Xun with understanding, tolerance, and a vague sense of relief.
"Ah? What do you mean?" It's a riddle. Why can't you understand it? What do you feel?
"What do you think of Chengguo now?" Si Qinmi said to Zhuang Xun, which was something she didn't want to tell Li Rusi.
"What's going on, the country? It hasn't suffered any losses, its troops and horses are still strong, it has been cultivating its voice, and its national strength is relatively strong." Zhuang Xun thought for a while and commented, the situation has reversed.
In the past, under the hard work of the previous generation of King You, the You Kingdom was stronger than the ruined Cheng Kingdom and the Yu Kingdom, but now, after Nie Jin buried 600,000 elites and massacred, the national power was weakened. Instead, the Cheng Kingdom replaced Li Pingyuan. After going up, a group of talented people were appointed and dismissed in a drastic manner, and there was a faint trend of ZTE.
The so-called key minority, if their thoughts change, the country can be revitalized. The role of those in power is extremely powerful. After all, they are the core, able to correct mistakes and guide the country to the right path.
"Can we resist such a Chengguo? You have seen Li Pingyuan's military strength. If we unify Chengguo again, what do you think are the chances of us unifying Jizhou?" Si Qinmi asked back, and she was indeed asking a question. A question that Zhuang Xun had never thought about.
"So the King of Wheels has resurrected and become a king, is he going to cause trouble for Li Pingyuan?" Zhuang Xun understood a little bit, and then many things came together at once. No wonder he wanted to put this person back and drink Po Meng Tang, don’t let him remember his experience in the underworld.
"This is how I feel. If King Cheng really dies, then for the Li family, they can take control of the government by holding the young prince hostage, and will soon launch a decisive battle against King Qinghe to control the entire Kingdom of Cheng. King Qinghe will also It's impossible to see them like this." Si Qinmi reasoned, as if he had found the key point in the development of things.
"On the contrary, a living King Cheng is different. Even if he still practices Taoism for a day, he can act as a buffer to prevent the situation in Cheng Country from progressing too fast, which is what you call adding chaos. Even if he does not have much real power now, He still has the ability to cause trouble for Li Pingyuan."
Si Qinmi confirmed Zhuang Xun's guess. That's what she thought. She thought that now Li Pingyuan would be restrained even if he covered the sky with one hand. Moreover, King Youcheng was in the middle to mediate, and King Qinghe and Li Pingyuan had no intention of fighting for a while. .
If there was no King Cheng and he was just a child emperor, then King Qinghe and Li Pingyuan would have been beaten to a bloody head.
No matter who wins, it will not be a good thing for Zhuang Xun. If Li Pingyuan wins, it will speed up the integration of the entire Cheng Kingdom and have the power to intervene in foreign affairs. It will not be so good for Zhuang Xun to seize the Yu Kingdom later. Even if we capture the external conditions, it will still be very difficult. Faced with the danger of puppetization, after all, the greater the help from others, the greater the control from others.
If Li Pingyuan were defeated, it goes without saying that there would be no good situation like the one in Jiannan now. After all, the blood transfusions of the Li family can be compared with Mrs. Jiang's. Without these batches of blood transfusions, how could Zhuang Xun afford this? Many people and horses.
"It turns out that the key to this chess game is King Cheng. No wonder I feel that he wants to guide me to resurrect King Cheng." Zhuang Xun realized in a daze, and now he understood.
"This is too far-reaching. It feels like it far exceeds the expectations he told me at the beginning." The king of rotation was just a swinger at the time, but now he is planning so far-reaching, and it feels like it's not his style.
"Perhaps I didn't think so much at first. I didn't expect you, Lang Jun, to perform so well. Didn't His Majesty the King of Wheels say it himself? He was optimistic about you, Lang Jun, so he raised the bet. Naturally, he had to think more long-term. ." Si Qinmi guessed, comprehensively obtaining the information and making a rational judgment.
"Furthermore, Lang Jun, you have lived up to His Majesty's expectations. Now you want to conquer the You Kingdom, and later you want to destroy the Yu Kingdom and repay your kindness. Your Majesty, the Lun Zhuan King, also wants to help Lang Jun."
Thinking about Zhuang Xun's experience of cheating, even though he was always eating soft food, maybe isn't it Zhuang Xun's ability to eat soft food? He could make himself and Li Rusi feed him willingly.
The last time he acted pitifully and cried was still in front of him, and Huanzu's love was engraved in his heart. This kind of shamelessness made Si Qinmi at least feel that he had fallen, and he was willing to burn himself for him instead of any responsibility.
According to Zhuang Xun's words, she was mentally controlled by him, but she was willing to do so, wasn't she? I believe Li Rusi is the same. She went to Li Rusi's house to pick up someone late at night, and she could feel Li Rusi's flattering attitude and emotions toward Zhuang Xunqu after arriving at the banker's house.
"Is that so? Yes, in general, it helped a lot. Let's not talk about it. Anyway, we have benefited. Don't talk about this in front of Si'er. It's not that she is an outsider. It's just that this matter is really related to Her father has something to do with it. Ah, all she wanted to do at the beginning was to do some good deeds, accumulate merit, be husband and wife in the next life, and meet to cultivate immortality. Why did she suddenly enter the road of fighting for hegemony? It seems that she is going to have a fight with her father-in-law. I'm so dumbfounded."
Zhuang Xun smiled bitterly. He didn't know when, but it seemed as if Yu State had become his possession, and then he really considered the possibility of unifying Jizhou.
"Didn't you say it last time? Maybe your father-in-law came to attack us first. Lang Jun, it is no longer possible to withdraw. Now that the king of rotation has raised the stakes, it is no longer possible for you to retreat. The consequences of managing the territory well are In this way, by cultivating people’s livelihood and eliminating foreign enemies, the result will be becoming a king without being a king.”
Si Qinmi didn't know how to comfort Zhuang Xun. The deal was already done. Zhuang Xun's size could already affect the trend of a country. Too many bets had been placed on him.
"I have no intention of retreating. How stupid would it be to think of retreating in such a situation? In the past, when I read stories and heard books, there was a kind of fool. I have been scolding them since I was a child. That is when I should shoulder my responsibilities and think about this and that. If you don't do it in the end and cause all kinds of tragic consequences, it's very stupid, so in my opinion, you should do your duty and not give in."
Zhuang Xun's answer was beyond Si Qin Mi's expectation. Her beautiful eyes couldn't stop looking at him, as if she wanted to get to know him again.
"What are you looking at? I used to feel that my ability was not up to the task. I didn't give in, but I felt so in my heart. But I have come to this point. His Majesty the King of Wheels, Mrs. Jiang, His Majesty the King of Yu, He Jung, you and Si'er There are also friends like He Heng who are here with me and have reached this point. If you refuse any more, you will be a fool above me. Now you should do your part!"
Zhuang Xun firmly replied that a negative attitude will affect people. Before, he only thought that governing Jiannan Road would be the top of the world, so he did not want to make progress. Now that the wind is about to compete for the Yu Kingdom, he still insists on guarding Jiannan. The way we live our lives is that we really don’t know how to adapt.
"You do your duty and say it well. This is how you have the bearing of a king." Si Qin Mi raised his eyebrows lightly, and the joy in his eyes was already revealed.
"What kind of magnanimity? I just don't evade responsibilities. This is what I should do. After enjoying the power, I naturally have to bear the relevant obligations and responsibilities. I accept help from so many people, so I naturally have to repay them. Only if I am heartless will I feel that It’s others who owe themselves.”
Zhuang Xun elaborated on his point of view. Education has always been like this, with rights and obligations. At least the big dye vat of society did not turn him into another person.
"It's okay if you think so. I'll make soup for you today." Si Qinmi said happily. She was happy that Zhuang Xun's ideological awareness had improved.
"If I didn't think so, you wouldn't make soup for me." Zhuang Xun said jokingly.
"Of course, I have a busy day now, so it's hard for me to find time to make soup. It has to be a happy event. After all, if I have this time, it will be more comfortable to serve the husband, right? After all, the husband will have many concubines in the future, and I cherish the present very much. Time to spend with Mr. Lang." Si Qinmi said with affection, feeling a little aggrieved when he said the words.
"It sounds like you are jealous. You have been spending a lot of time with Empress Xuannv recently. Are you jealous?" Zhuang Xun played with Siqin Mi's hanging hair, which looked like silk.
"A little bit, who is called Xuannv and doesn't come in? If she is used to occupying so much of your time, she will take up time when you find concubine in the future." Si Qinmi said disappointedly.
"You still want to be the god's sister, be brave. Forget about the time issue, Empress Xuannv is probably annoying me already." Zhuang Xun rubbed the beauty's cheek. He still liked her the most. It tastes good with a little vinegar, but Are you jealous of not being able to get in?
"What, Langjun, are you having a conflict with Empress Xuannu?" Si Qinmi was shocked, without any jealousy or warmth, he grabbed Zhuang Xun's hand and shook it.
"No, no, how dare I have a conflict with her? I argued about something and was scolded by her a few times. She kicked me out yesterday." Zhuang Xun said embarrassedly.
"What is it?" Si Qin Mi frowned. Compared to King You, who was arrogant and indifferent to gods, Si Qin Mi was much more cautious. If you can't make good friends, don't make enemies easily.
"She talked about being detached, but I didn't think so. After we argued, she scolded me for being like rotten wood, and I was kicked out." Zhuang Xun said embarrassedly.
"What on earth did you say?" Si Qinmi took a good look at Zhuang Xun. This word did not seem to describe Zhuang Xun.
"How can I put it, the concepts are different. I feel that I am detached by myself. It is like pursuing annihilation and cutting off the true spirit of the three flowers to annihilate. It is better to die directly in this world. Hedao also benefits all living beings. Dying here Square World also nourishes the world and benefits all living beings..."
"How dare you say..."
"That's how it is. I didn't understand immortality before. If I didn't have you by my side, why would I want to live forever? I also don't understand this kind of pursuit of transcendence and death. Maybe it's because I'm not mature enough."
"It's good to know. Remember to apologize tomorrow..."
"Urgent report, madam, urgent report..." Yunyin ignored the turbulent waves.
"What's wrong."
"Xing Mingdao, Jingtingdao surrendered to Madam."
"Ah." She has just arrived. Is the opponent's knees so weak?
