174.Natsuhime's Troubled Times (14)
"In fact, in this matter, the worst person who was cheated was not Chen Guo, but Xun Guo. The sheep tongue family was distributed in both the Jin and Xun kingdoms, and they all played important roles. However, the Xun royal family has been passed down for several generations, and the prince of this generation has not given birth to a son so far, and he is frail and sickly, and he does not go out for half of the year.
Although the lord of the Xun State is still confidently giving birth to an heir, you courtiers have already had other plans, right? Three of the four directions of the Xun State border the Jin State. Jin Guo is the best successor of Xun State, and it is also the most in line with the interests of the Yangyu family. Therefore, the clan women who have married in Xun Kingdom over the years have all married to the Jin Kingdom.
This incident originally had nothing to do with the Jin Kingdom, with the relationship between King Chen and Prince Wu, if this matter came out, King Chen would also put you back in order to teach Prince Wu a lesson. But you just pulled up the Jin Kingdom. Although it is said that the compensation received by the pressure is more, but there is one more object to share, it is not necessarily a loss or a profit! Jin Guo is the biggest beneficiary in this matter.
Sheep's tongue boy, am I right?"
The sheep's tongue was about to cry. This Mrs. Xia looks like a calm and breezy look, but in fact, she is really meticulous and discerning! She can dissect the essence of things only through the recent events and well-known information, which is really convincing.
"Madame wise!" he could only reply at last.
Looking at Xia Nan next to him, he was still drinking tea leisurely, obviously the mother and son had already been angry. I think I am strategizing, but in fact, I have already entered someone else's game.
Xia Ji actually didn't care if Chen Guo would lose some gold and silver treasures or something. Because even if there was no such thing, Chen Linggong would not have spent those belongings on the right path. And the unreliability of the prince is almost as good as his father's. Can the man who came up with the idea of kidnapping a virtuous person to work for him be reliable in his head?
Besides, on weekdays, in addition to not putting wine on the table like his father, he really can't find anything that is obviously better than his father. If he had to say that there was, it was only because he had not yet inherited the throne, and his power was not great enough.
No matter how good the country is, it will be defeated in the hands of such a person, not to mention some property? Others help them keep it for a while, but they can't keep it for a lifetime. Who knows who will end up with the property in the treasury? So Xia Ji didn't care at all about Xun and Jin taking money from Chen.
What she wants is people.
The sheep's tongue bowed his head and pursed his lips. He waited for Mrs. Xia to give him conditions.
Since Mrs. Xia has seen so many things, she will definitely not just talk about it. She will ask for something.
"Are you going to go back to Xun or Jin next?"
Unexpectedly, Natsuhime didn't take advantage of the situation to threaten him with anything, but asked an unimportant question.
Yang Yu glanced up at Xia Ji, and saw that she was asking seriously, so he thought about it and replied, "Go back to Xun Kingdom first, and then find a reason to go to Jin Kingdom." ”
Natsuhime understood. At this age, I am afraid that I will break away from Xun in the name of study tours, and I will begin to find the right goal to enter the political arena. The civil servants of this era generally follow this development model. No one will say anything about them. This can be regarded as the unique freedom of literati in this era!
Military attachés, on the other hand, are generally local, and their mobility is far less than that of civilian officials. Thinking of this, Xia Ji glanced at her son Xia Nan.
Xia Nan didn't know what to see for his mother, so he continued to drink tea.
"I know that with the current state of Chen Guo, you are not willing to stay. But I still want to make a request to you, as long as you agree, I will not destroy the plans of the Sheep Tongue family. ”
"Madame, please!" said the sheep's tongue secretly relieved.
Yang Yuyu was really afraid that Mrs. Xia would ask him to stay in Chen Guo to help Chen Linggong or Prince Wu. He learned it all over his stomach, but not to waste it on that kind of person. If he had to help that kind of person, then it would be better to let him die!
If he had to assist a Chen Guoren, the sheep tongue secretly glanced at Xia Nan, and among these children of the Chen royal family, only one Xia Nan could enter his eyes. Although they were tied today, Yang Tongue could see that Xia Nan was not good at swords, but swords were his specialty. From this point of view, I am losing.
Moreover, judging from the current contact, Xia Nan's personality and bearing are very in line with his own requirements.
However, neither Mrs. Xia nor Xia Nan looked like people who would take the initiative to kill Chen Linggong or Prince Wu and replace him. If they do not want to rebel, they will not be able to assist them. Thinking of this, there was a little regret in the sheep's tongue.
Xia Nan felt that the sheep tongue seemed to look at him in particular, but when he looked back, he found that he didn't look at himself at all, and he still didn't know why. Just finished drinking the tea in front of him, he took a bottle of peach blossom brew and drank it.
Mother usually doesn't let him drink, but today when there are distinguished guests, he borrowed it!
"I want you not to be an official in the Jin Kingdom for the rest of your life. Natsuhime said.
If you don't force yourself to stay in the Chen Kingdom, it doesn't matter which country you go to serve, right? Why do you ask that you can't go to the Jin Kingdom to be an official?
The sheep's tongue brain was running rapidly, and he didn't find out any information about the deep hatred between Jin and Chen. He even took into account the relationship between Xia Ji's mother country, Zheng Guo, and Zheng Guo and Jin Guo didn't have any big grudges!
"Why did Madame make such a request?" asked Xia Ji directly.
Why? Of course I don't want you to die. Xia Ji said secretly in her heart.
In their previous lives, although Watson and Xia Ji died earlier than their daughter and the sheep's tongue, when they died, the political arena of the Jin Kingdom had already entered a white-hot stage. The public office is declining, and the private family is rising. The trend of the six new nobles of Han, Zhao, Wei, Zhi, Bank of China, and Fan replacing the old nobles has been inevitable. As a typical representative of the old aristocracy, the sheeptongue family is almost doomed to decline.
Before Watchen died, he said that although he had great talents, he was burdened by the family, and he was afraid that he would not die well. Although the original owner did not see that day, what Watson said never failed to come true. So the ending of the sheep's tongue is definitely not good. Watson and the daughter of the original owner were married to Sheeptongue, and she and her children did not have a good end.
But Natsuki can't just say that to the sheep's tongue. He didn't want to make up any more reasons. Just said forcefully: "You don't care about the reason, just do it." ”
Anyway, the request he made did not endanger the core interests of the Hài Sheep Tongue family, but the handle he had in his hands was enough to threaten the lives of all the clansmen of the Sheep Tongue family in Xun Kingdom.
"Yes, I promise, ma'am. Madame also promised me that I would not disclose this to anyone. We will assist the Xun royal family until the last moment, and the choices we make are also beneficial to all the people of Xun Kingdom. I hope Madame can understand. ”
Sheep Tongue stood up and bowed deeply to Natsuhime.
His meaning is obvious, the sheep tongue family will wait until the death of the lord of Xun and his son before dedicating Xun to Jin. In fact, they can be regarded as affectionate and righteous in this way. But it is a sin to take out the right thing at the wrong time. If this kind of thing is poked out now, it will only be considered treason.
"Don't worry, we're not interested in getting involved in this, and we're not going to tell anyone about it. ”
Natsuhime stood up and calmly accepted the sheep's tongue salute.
"There is still some time before you are brought back to China, so you can have a good relationship with Nan'er with peace of mind! Nan'er, he really likes you!"
It's rare to have a friend that her son can look up to, and Xia Ji naturally supports them in developing their friendship.
Sheeptongue nodded.
There was a harmonious scene in the forest, but there was a slaughter in King Chen's palace.
A touch of red flowed from the corner of Xiao Liu'er's mouth, and she looked at the woman in front of her unwillingly.
Xiao Su looked at Xiao Liu'er condescendingly, as if she was looking at a dying fish.
"You're not in a position to hate me. I'm just letting you go and be the company of my poor child. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that I have the flesh and blood of the king in my belly. This time, you'll never have a chance to hurt my child again. ”
After Xiao Su finished speaking, he kicked Xiao Liu'er in the chest fiercely, kicking her so hard that she fainted.
"Wake her up with cold water. Xiao Xu commanded fiercely.
"Yes!"
A basin of cold well water was splashed on Xiao Liu'er, and she woke up from the cold.
Xiao Su saw her open her eyes and continued to order: "Give me a leather whip, and I will be beaten again when I am stunned and splashed with water." How could the chronic □□ I chose so easily let her die?"
The palace people next to him were frightened, but they only obeyed orders.
"Spare me! For the sake of our sisters, let me die a happy death!"
Xiao Liu'er prostrate at Xiao Su's feet and pleaded.
"Spare you? When you watched my blood flow out little by little, you should have wondered if I would spare you. You've killed my child!" Xiao Su's face was gloomy and hideous.
Xiao Liu'er showed a look of despair, and then shouted heartbreakingly: "The king will not let you go." He will definitely find out that you and Father Yi harmed me together, you dog man and woman!"
"Hahaha!" Xiao Su laughed wildly, as if he had heard some of the funniest jokes.
"The king is slightly ill, I heard that you came out of the Rejuvenation Building, and I believe that you infected him with the disease, so I asked my good sister to give you a ride in person. Even if you die, he won't look at you. Why do you think he'll plead for you?"
Xiao Su's sneering eyes looked at Xiao Liu'er, as if she was looking at a fool.
"Isn't that what you paid off the doctor's nonsense? I'm not sick at all. Xiao Liu'er was full of dissatisfaction.
"Whether you are sick or not, it's not up to you to decide, it's the doctor who has the final say. No one listens to you, everyone only listens to the doctor. It's been so long since you've been in the palace, and you still don't understand this, it seems that you're really sick!"
After Xiao Su finished speaking, he yelled at the palace people next to him: "What do you see, why don't you execute soon?"
The wailing faded away. At dusk, there was one less concubine in King Chen's palace.
