"This matter has also been carefully thought out by me. Hui Wenrui inserted his hand into the box containing the chess pieces, grabbed a handful of chess pieces and put them back in, making a clattering sound.

"If Hui Lin can marry Chu Qing, both the political resources that can be obtained and the actual material resources are unlimited to us. ”

"But this is not good for the country. He stopped holding the chess piece and looked at Paul quietly.

"Now the country does look stable on the surface, the new queen is on the throne, there is no threat from foreign enemies, although it is surrounded by China, but diplomacy and trade with other countries have not fallen at all, and even with the rise of China, more and more countries have begun to take the initiative to form alliances or conclude treaties with us in order to show favor to them, but as I said, these are only superficial. ”

Holding a chess piece in one hand, he refocused his gaze on the board, while Paul, who sat across from him, listened with his hands on his lap and as respectfully as a serious student.

"Although it seems to be smooth sailing on the surface, in reality it is already an undercurrent surging. The current Alice can be said to have been pushed down by us, with no power of her own, and her foundation is not stable, and she has no control and centripetal force at all. ”

"And after these rounds of catastrophe and catastrophe, most of the former ministers are now gone, and the newcomers are still not full after they come up, so they will naturally start to think of crooked ideas, and there are more and more restless people, although there are still me and Lao Liu to support, but this is not a long-term solution after all. ”

He put the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard and sighed: "Just like this game of chess, it seems that my white pieces are fierce and unstoppable, but I don't know that I may lose all the games after losing a few pieces." ”

"Although Araka is not big, it is also a piece of meat, and anyone who wants to eat it has to wait with their mouths open. ”

"But what does this have to do with Miss's marriage?" asked Paul, picking up a chess piece and pretending to be calm.

"Because I want Alice and Chu Qing to marry now," it was obviously about his daughter, but his voice was surprisingly calm, "If Alice, as the queen of this country, can marry Chu Qing, the benefits to the country can be said to be countless." ”

Paul clutched the chess pieces in his palms and pressed his fist against his chin, looking like he was thinking about the game, but in fact he was thinking about something completely unrelated to it.

If everything is according to what the lord said, and the two can really carry out a political marriage smoothly, the new queen, who was originally alone in the political situation, will immediately have a big card that plays a decisive role.

At that time, as long as she can rely on the power of China, even if there are no two elders, Hui and Liu, and it may not even be necessary for her to come to the government in person, those who take advantage of the unstable situation and have ulterior motives will have to re-weigh themselves.

Moreover, in terms of foreign affairs, if it can be close to the mountain of China, then whether it is foreign commerce and trade in the future, or diplomatic activities between countries, the Principality of Araka will be in an absolutely advantageous position.

After all, compared with those who can't shoot casually and are suppressed by the restrictions of the ten major sects everywhere, a superpower with no limitations and a real fight is the real backer that people can rely on.

If you look at it this way, compared with the marriage with the Huifu, the direct marriage with the royal family can make full use of the resources of Chu Qing, and only in this way can the country and its people benefit to the greatest extent.

But......

After he finished getting off, he raised his head and looked at Hui Wenrui and said, "But master, what bargaining chips do we have to make him willingly give up Miss and choose Miss Alice?"

Even I think Miss is better......

"We've considered this too," Hui Wenrui said with a complete and serious attitude as a politician, "let's put aside Alice's personal factors and consider this issue from the perspective of national interests." ”

He took out three chess pieces from the box and placed them on the stone table, then pointed to one of them and said: " First of all, if a marriage is formed with the imperial family of our country, it is actually sending a signal to the outside world, that is, China has begun to stop foreign wars and turn to peaceful diplomacy, if the marriage can be promoted, it will effectively appease a large number of neighboring countries, if supplemented by certain diplomatic means, it can quickly make the alliance of countries that are gradually united on China's border fall apart, and in the current situation can be said to solve a big problem for them, which is the first point. ”

He pointed to the second chess piece and said: "Also, do you know what they are most lacking in China now? That is, the Dou Shi and the Magician, they seem to have always intended to cultivate a force composed entirely of Dou Shi and the Magician, but because of the pressure of the Ten Great Sects, all the Dou Qi Academies and the Magician Tower all refused to provide them with personnel without exception, and at this time, if they can successfully carry out a political marriage, then they can use us as a medium to send them the resources of the Dou and the Magician, this is the second point." ”

"Third, this is also our biggest hole card, if we can really promote this political marriage, then we can try to intercede with the Ten Sects for them, at this time the relationship between China and the Ten Sects is very awkward, if we can play a role in easing the relationship between the two, then they should not refuse this matter, after all, even they are not willing to provoke the Ten Sects at will. ”

"Possibly, something like that. Bao Er looked at him differently, although he knew that Zhou Chun seemed to have something to do with the Qingfeng Sect among the Ten Great Sects, but if this alone was to say that he could intercede with the Ten Great Sects for China, wouldn't it be a bit too stupid to say that he could intercede with the Ten Great Sects for China.

"Of course it is possible," he put the chess pieces back into the box and said, "You don't need to understand the reason, you just need to know that we have the ability to communicate with the Ten Great Sects." ”

"Is it related to His Majesty's departure?" asked Paul, cautiously.

Hui Wenrui didn't speak, just picked up the teacup and took a sip of water to spare his question and said, "So, do you think this thing is feasible?"

Seeing that he didn't answer, Paul didn't continue to ask deeply, but he seemed to know what the other party meant, so he followed his words and said, "Master, what do Mrs. Zhou and the young masters mean by this." ”

Zhou Chun was quite in favor, after all, she had always looked down on Chu Qing's wild background, Hui Wen didn't say it explicitly, but Hui Wu was very opposed. ”

"Is that so, but that's understandable," Paul nodded, and according to the temper of a few people, it looked like a decision they would make, "And what do you mean, sir?"

"Me?" Hui Wenrui, who was originally a calm politician, showed a distressed look on his face, "I feel a little sorry for Linlin for this matter, but Your Majesty is kind to me, I swore to Lao Liu to be loyal to the death, and now Your Majesty doesn't know where to go, so we have to work harder, so ......"

"This, how can this work!" he stood up suddenly, and his emotions became excited, "How can this be, Miss, she obviously likes Chu Qing, isn't that ...... And what should the young lady do?"

"That's why you have to be patient," he said, sitting there and looking at Paul with a serious face, "By the way, Paul, I have something very important to ask you." ”

"Excuse me. Holding back the excitement in his heart, he replied in as calm a tone as possible.

"Do you like Hui Lin. ”

"Hey?" he was stunned for a moment, and his original indignation for Hui Lin was instantly dissipated, and then his whole face turned red like a boiling kettle.

"Although I am a civil official, I am really not good at this kind of thing," he said to Paul very seriously, "I only recently learned about this matter from Zhou Chun, so I want to know about the situation from you, do you really like Hui Lin?"

"......" He didn't speak, but his face was so hot that he couldn't speak nervously as if he was about to burn.

"But it's unlikely," Hui Wenrui sighed, "Although I don't know much about this kind of thing, but I'm still quite accurate in looking at people, like Hui Lin's crazy girl, I'm afraid that only a foreigner like Chu Qing can like her, and people who know her a little bit are probably avoiding her." ”

"But this is also because of me, she has been pampered since she was a child, so that she is not diligent and does not divide the grains, even if she marries out, she is also making trouble for others, so it is better to forget it like this. He shook his head self-deprecatingly and picked up the teacup, only to realize that the tea in the cup had been drained by him sometime.

"Old, sir. Paul clutched his trouser legs with both hands and lowered his head to prevent the other party from discovering his inner wavering, so he stammered a little.

"Well, what's wrong?"

He took a deep breath, raised his head violently as if he was going to duel with someone, and said loudly: "If you can, please marry Miss to me, I will guarantee her happiness!"

(Thank you for the foul god No. 1, I will become the wind and rain to accompany you, book friend 1170631890, now for the shadow, a thought of perseverance! and the cow broke my recommendation vote thank you for your support, thank you thank you.)

By the way, I almost forgot that there is a red envelope of nine thousand, although I don't know what it is for, but I still thank the book friends for their support.

At this time, I was saving the manuscript for a new book (I've just coded 10,000 words for such a long time, I'm ashamed...... Because of the difference in the style of the two stories, it may be 'cross-flavored', so the update will be slow, please forgive me, forgive me. ）
