Back Off, Let Me Come

The person who wooed the Zhao family in Xunnan?

Zhai Huan naturally understood the meaning behind these words.

He said: "Previously I wanted you to have a good relationship with Zhao's Sanniang. She admires you and your temperament will not let her down. It's a win-win situation. But after experiencing A Jing's incident, I realized that some things cannot be forced... Compared to Xunnan Zhao's help, Ah Le, as my brother, I hope you can get what you want."

"Life is too short, don't leave any regrets."

Zhai Le frowned in thought.

Didn't give the answer right away.

But now we do need strong allies.

The uncle of the former leader of the country handed over the military power, but the soldiers under him came from all places, factions, and positions, and they were a mixed bag. Previously, relying on the status of the king's uncle and a group of cronies, he could barely control them.

Now that the holder of the national seal has changed, it is equivalent to breaking the balance and suppressing the core of these soldiers.

They were all ready to move and were not very cooperative.

If they are not careful, they may collude to riot and fight back against brother... Although the possibility of success is unlikely, it will also make the situation further chaotic, which is not what Zhai Le wants to see.

In the past few days, he has arranged to promote a group of his cronies. Although their positions are not obvious, they can get first-hand information whenever there is any trouble. They also used the name of the former king's uncle to disrupt the original organization so that they could not unite.

But this is not a long-term solution and is still not enough.

The current calm is just an illusion after all.

It can easily be broken by external forces or internal factors.

Brother has to devote his energy to wrangling with those old foxes - these old foxes do not care most about who the ruler of the country is or what his surname is, but more about their own interests, and they all want to take advantage of Zhai Huan's unstable power to gnaw a piece of flesh and blood.

Zhai Le saw it in his eyes and felt anxious in his heart.

"Ale, do you really want to marry Zhao's third wife?"

Zhai Le didn't think much about it.

His eyes were firm and he said, "Yes, I think so."

Although it is not out of liking but after weighing the pros and cons, a two-way relationship may not be perfect, and a one-way relationship may not be regretful. Zhai Le paused and said: "Or...ask her what she means first? If you don't want to..."

He said: "Then please trouble me brother to find another one."

Zhai Huan was silent and patted his cousin on the shoulder.

Sighing: "Okay."

Before Zhai Le left, he did not forget to tell Zhai Huan to use his scribe's way as little as possible. Although brother did not say how much burden the scribe's way would have on him after he had perfected it, judging from the great success of his first appearance. , the price is not small.

Zhai Huan said funnyly: "Well, there will be a sense of propriety."

In Zhai Huan's view, the effect of this scribe's method can only be described as "tasteless". It is tasteless to eat and it is a pity to discard it.

If you are too dependent, you may die without knowing how.

Indeed, it can implant a real memory in people. Even if the person involved knows that there is a problem, it is difficult to avoid it. If you think that the way of the scribe is invincible because of this... that would be too naive, because the real confrontation is still outside the way of the scribe.

Take the uncle of the former king as an example.

If the false identity Zhai Huan set for himself was not the "true king who was left behind", but the confidant/biological son of the former king's uncle, could he still persuade the other party to use troops to force the palace?

It's impossible, because the benefits brought by the latter's identity are far less than those of the former, and it is not worth the other party taking the risk of killing the nine tribes to gain a huge fortune... It is not so much the way of the scribes that made the other party rebel and be used by Zhai Huan. It would be better to say that the blueprint benefits given by Zhai Huan touched the insatiable greed deep in the other party's heart, and they hit it off...

For another example, if Zhai Huan was dealing with the likes of Qi Shan, pretended to be a relative for himself, and then encouraged Qi Shan to kill Shen Tang, then what he was waiting for might not be Qi Shan's sincere cooperation, but the other party's butcher's knife. .

The real difficulty of this scribe's way is that it requires an accurate understanding of the opponent's human weaknesses - if you value your family, you should start with your family; if you value material things, you should start with interests; if you value fame, you should start with reputation...

There is another type of person who is the most special.

That is the person who enshrines his moral integrity on the altar. This kind of person is often troublesome and extremely troublesome...

The situation in the country of Shen was changing rapidly.

Even Sanniang Zhao, who was in the boudoir, was also affected.

When she heard that the boy she had liked for many years was going to form a romantic alliance with Shu Ji, she was depressed for several days, and her body, which was already thin, became thinner and thinner. Her parents, brothers and sisters tried to persuade her, and her younger brother even deliberately made her laugh.

Zhao Sanniang has never really been happy.

It's not that she doesn't know the seriousness of the problem.

That Shu Ji name is also well-known in the boudoir circle. She will use various means to grab whoever she likes, no matter whether the person is married, unmarried or engaged.

She can covet married men, but she doesn't allow others to miss her man, or she may be killed.

If it weren't for Shu Ji being so cruel and unkind, taking innocent people's lives on her hands, breaking up other people's marriages, and making people angry... Zhao Sanniang would still be vaguely envious of her - it was rare for a woman to live such a willful life.

Of course, I just envy the other party's freedom rather than the other party's style. But when I think about it, Shu Ji's freedom is also given to her as the brother of the king. Because of her blood rather than Shu Ji's own, she feels a little lacking...

Let’s get back to the point.

Once Zhai Le and Shu Ji get married, Shu Ji, who is still under the impression that she has proposed marriage to Zhai Le, will be made things difficult and cause trouble for her family even if she is protected by her family.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sanniang felt depressed again.

You can't just let go of someone you've loved for many years. The taste is much more bitter than the concoction served by the maid.

She closed her eyes and drank it all in one gulp. On Zhai Le's wedding day, he tossed and turned until late at night before falling asleep from exhaustion.

It was three poles in the sun before I woke up softly.

The news that followed made her confused again and again.

The marriage between Zhai Le and Shuji fell apart, Shuji died, and the king died, all because of brother Zhai Huan...

When her mother told her, she all said with envy: "This Zhai Yuewen is quite affectionate and righteous." 】

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that even though Zhai Huan was ambitious, he was not so ambitious as to overthrow the royal court. He was more interested in assisting the royal court and bringing order out of chaos. However, Shuji killed Zhai Huan's fiancée, so Zhai Huan immediately killed her.

A burst of anger turns the crown into beauty.

Isn't this more romantic and moving than the popular dialect?

Zhao Sanniang thought casually, if Zhai Le's marriage failed, doesn't it mean that she still has a chance?

Her mother could see her thoughts at a glance.

Said: [Don’t do stupid things. 】

Zhao Sanniang said: [My daughter just thinks so...]

As a boudoir girl, begging her parents to take the initiative to go to the Zhai family to propose marriage was the most outrageous thing she had ever done in her life. How can I have the courage to do it again? The Zhai family is currently in a whirlpool, and Zhai Le probably has no intention of talking about marriage.

Her mother smiled and said: "Just wait in peace." 】

Zhao Sanniang: [Wait? 】

[When Mr. Zhai came to propose marriage, your father told your mother that Zhai Yuewen killed the king in front of the palace. He killed him neatly and happily, but he also had to solve the mess left behind. The Zhai family was short of manpower and could not suppress the situation, so they naturally sought allies. What allies are more reassuring than in-laws? Not to mention Zhai Le, you can choose any of the other unmarried men of the Zhai family. 】

Zhao Sanniang's heart moved.

I feel a little disdainful of myself for thinking of taking advantage of someone else's misfortune, but I'm also vaguely looking forward to it - Zhai Le will really come to ask for marriage?

She stayed in her small courtyard, tending to the flowers and plants, and occasionally feeding the fish in the pond, but the time passed slowly and torturously.

A few days later, Zhai Le came to visit.

But it's not about asking her parents to propose marriage.

But to see her.

Zhao Sanniang was worried and nervous.

Through a screen, she could vaguely see the figure on the other side of the screen. It was a young man who had grown into an adult.

The people waiting around are waiting outside the door.

Zhai Le took a deep breath secretly to relieve the inexplicable tension.

"Ms. Zhao Sanniang..." Zhai Le couldn't bear to call her by her nickname, so he asked slightly hesitantly, "I heard... you like me?"

Zhao Sanniang: "..."

His face turned red and white, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to crawl into the cracks of the ground.

But he still endured the embarrassment and said: "Yeah."

Although he knew the answer, it was quite strange to hear the other party admit it personally. Zhai Leguang remembered the profound memory of offending the other party and being beaten violently by his father when he was a child. He never expected that the other party would like him. How could he have imagined this?

"Then I ask to marry you, will you?"

Zhao Sanniang's face was no longer pale, only red.

Red enough to bleed.

"Marriage matters...should be decided by the parents..."

Zhai Le was puzzled: "...ah?"

Haven't they already come to the door and said they were kissing? Zhao Sanniang’s parents should have agreed, so why should they reconsider?

Thinking about it again, although he and Shu Ji are not a real couple, but the ceremony is complete, Mrs. Zhao will indeed dislike the second marriage.

Zhai Le scratched his face. The second-married widower whose "wife" died that day didn't sound like a good match.

Seeing that Zhai Le didn't respond for a long time, Zhao Sanniang was upset. She didn't know what she said wrong, so she listened: "The title of a second-married widower is really not nice... Oh, I take the liberty to interrupt..."

After that, while Zhao Sanniang was stunned, she bowed and said goodbye. She stood up and walked to the door, but was stopped by the beautiful girl who hurriedly ran out. The other party said angrily: "Zhai Xiaofang, why are you leaving?"

Zhai Le: "..."

The maid who was guarding outside the house poked her head out when she heard the commotion. Zhao Sanniang's cheeks lit up and she hid behind the screen.

"Who dislikes you?"

Zhai Le: "..."

It turns out it’s not disgusting, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

But there are still some truths to be said.

Zhai Le wants to marry Zhao Sanniang, and his biggest purpose is to use the power of the Zhao family, but after marriage, he will definitely not let Zhao Sanniang down, nor will he act treacherously, such as kicking his first wife as soon as he gains power. oath.

Zhao Sanniang was angry and funny after hearing this.

What a piece of wood!

When he was young, he picked her favorite flowers, stole her favorite fish, and smashed the tree planted on her birthday with one punch just to show off... As she grew up, she became more capable, and she said such things carelessly.

It made her, like Shu Ji, forced to marry him.

It made her feel as rare as Zhai Xiaofang!

Zhao Sanniang didn't reply. After a few words, she excused herself from feeling uncomfortable and went back to the house to sulk.

When her anger subsided, she became even more upset.

Well, she is rare.

At her age, if it weren't for Zhai Xiaofang, she would have already discussed marrying in person. She saw the days after the marriage with the handkerchief beside her, and she didn't live in love. The good ones are just harmonious on the surface, the bad ones are depressed.

Instead of marrying someone you don't like and being frustrated, it's better to marry someone you like and life won't be too difficult. If I really have a bad life, I can only blame myself for my poor vision. Besides, she won Zhai Xiaofang first, so she was still worried about not being able to capture his heart?

Gritting her teeth, she agreed to the marriage.

Two teenagers and girls think that they are in charge of their marriage, but in fact it is their parents.

Zhai Huan is in urgent need of help. Isn't it possible that Zhao's side is not interested in profit? Zhai Le has never been the best candidate for marriage. If Zhai Huan had not protected his fiancée for many years and refused to change, Mrs. Zhao would have wanted to marry her daughter to Zhai Huan.

He is the real master of the Zhai family.

On the other hand, Zhai Le's conditions were much different.

This plan should not be known to outsiders, especially Zhai Huan - because Zhai Huan insists on keeping his wife's filial piety for one year, it is unknown what the situation will become in this year. If Zhao wants to be reused with confidence, he needs a marriage that satisfies him.

It just so happens that two children are willing, which is perfect.

A marriage in which each other is attracted to each other because of their own interests, and is given the illusion that their children are in love with each other, can actually be called a match made in heaven. With Zhao's group entering the scene, the old foxes who were ready to make a move were completely at peace.

The Zhai family and the Zhao family did not have many outstanding scholars, but they had many outstanding martial artists.

Their old bones didn't want to test how strong the fists of the two families were. Even the rebellions of various factions in the military camp that could not be suppressed were bloody suppressed. Rivers of blood flowed and bones piled up like mountains.

Next, we will deal with the powerful warlords who took advantage of this period to cause trouble one by one!

Changes in Shen State, located in the southeast, naturally could not reach the ears of Shen Tang in the northwest of the mainland. Unlike Zhai Huan and Zhai Le who racked their brains to fight against the enemy and could not live a peaceful New Year, she had a happy New Year this year.

Heyin's high-quality pigs are specialized in slaughtering large dogs. One high-quality pig is sold for the price of five ordinary pigs, and there is an endless stream of people selling it. Heyin's high-quality pigs are sold until they are out of stock, and they sell well to Heyin's neighbors.

The common people who raised pigs also made a fortune.

Some common people were so cruel that they slaughtered a fat pig and sent the best meat to the government office as a New Year gift, crying and begging Shen Tang to accept it. Without Mr. Shen, where would they be today? Shen Tang was not polite, accepted the New Year gift, and took the opportunity to promote the knowledge of scientific and standardized pig raising, in order to make this idea deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

In the official office, she happily counted the small coins.

Yes, she is rich!

"Well, after working hard for a year or two, I finally got some savings..." A bag of broken silver and dozens of copper plates. Shen Tang put them back into his purse one by one and stuffed them into his arms.

Although the incident of the refugees and bandits shrouded He Yin in a cloud of panic, the common people believed in their Lord Shen.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the lively atmosphere only intensifies, and many strangers with foreign accents appear in Fugu City.

Needless to say, these are all from the three places in the south.

Come join in the fun.

As the opening ceremony of the second Fuku City New Year Games began, the light from the fireworks in the sky reflected everyone's face. Shen Tang and others are better than last year, and they still have a lot of grace after the opening ceremony - well, after all, there is an extra Jiang Sheng.

“A happy new year!”

"My lord, may you have a happy new year!"

The road is crowded with tourists.

There were more people and more lively and festive than last year.

"Let's all have fun, don't be restrained, haha——"

When Shen Tang meets an acquaintance, he warmly greets them with New Year greetings. No matter how old or young they are, they are all treated equally.

On the road, she met Jiang Sheng, who was curious about everything. She took out a copper coin with a red string from her arms.

"Come on, board yours first!"

Jiang Sheng: "..."

A good lord should be Master Duanshui!
