Shu Tingbei obviously didn't like Zhao Yunrang's gloating eyes, at least he felt that this kind of look should have been given to him by himself, why did this loser look at himself with such eyes, was it just to succeed in letting his son and unborn grandson survive outside?

Zhuge Liang didn't have such a good mood as Shu Tingbei. He knew what Zhao Yunrang's eyes meant.

That's a curse.

From today on, Zhao Zongshi, who is full of guilt and hatred, will hide in the invisible gloom, constantly watching Zhuge Liang and others from a cold place, as long as he has the opportunity, he will definitely not hesitate to pet out like a beast, and he will never handle it if he doesn't bite you all over the body.

Every day and night from now on, Zhuge Liang, especially Miao Shou, will fall into a state of being unable to fall asleep at night. They have to be on guard at all times, from Zhao Zongshi's plot.

This is where Zhao Yunrang is proud.

Of course, Shu Tingbei, who is good at mind reading, can easily avoid the malice hidden around. Although he Zhuge Liang has only learned the skin, he can basically do it. It's just that the rest of the people, I'm afraid it's difficult.

At this time, Shi Qiang's logic suddenly appeared in his mind again. If you were ordinary people, would you still be like this? If those bottle-haired people were to experience all this, would they still be as easy as you are?

Zhuge Liang knows the answer, that is, of course not. But he didn't know why he suddenly remembered Shi Qiang's logic. Why do the top 10 mention those ordinary people again and again?

Do you want to sympathize with them? Or is it that Shi Qiang is ready to transmit his sympathy to himself, or rather, Shi Qiang wants to use this sympathy to restrain himself, if he wants to do something hurtful, the first hurdle that he can't get over is probably the power of this sympathy.

But Shi Qiang himself is not a compassionate person. He dealt with those people, and his cool methods were not much worse than Zhou Xinglai Junchen. So what exactly does he want to express himself?

"Wood, are you talking about incense?"

Shu Tingbei's voice suddenly interrupted Zhuge Liang's thoughts.

Opening his eyes, Zhuge Liang saw Shu Tingbei's concerned eyes, and suddenly realized that the little girl in front of him was no longer the one who relied on her own ability to eat and wait for death. He is now a person who can penetrate the hearts of the other person with a keen eye. In his eyes, there was already more or less the shadow of Gaotao.

However, Zhuge Liang still thinks that the communication method of directly reading memories is still the most effective. Compared with wired transmission, wireless transmission is always a little unreliable.

Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand, Shu Tingbei put his hand in deep sleep very recallously, and then leaned on his forehead under Zhuge Liang's traction. For a while, Zhuge Liang's thoughts just now were also transmitted into Shu Tingbei's mind.

"Have you ever seen an American movie?" Shu Tingbei suddenly said to Zhuge Liang, "I mean a super blockbuster or something, Spider-Man, Superman or something." ”

Zhuge Liang thought for a while and replied, "I haven't seen Spider-Man much, but Pig Man has seen some." ”

Shu Ting Beiden was speechless, so she had to say bluntly: "This kind of movie in the United States is all promoting the same values, do you know what it is?" ”

"What?"

"With great power comes great responsibility."

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, and he asked Shu Tingbei: "You mean, Shi Qiang wants us to ......"

"That's pretty much what it means. But I'm not interested in being a spokesperson for justice, and if you do, you might as well give it a try. ”

Zhuge Liang never thought about who he wanted to become, he only wanted to be able to create an ideal world as the lords had conceived.

"Alright." Shu Tingbei continued, "Let's also participate in the court meeting presided over by Zhao Zhen." That's the point of what we've done so much. ”

Zhuge Liang is straight to Oh, Shu Tingbei has been seeking a transcendent position in the Great Song Dynasty. To build the society he envisioned, he had to break down the jars. And in this process, the counterattack from conservative forces is the biggest threat.

The court meetings of the Daqing Hall are not held very often, but today is an unusual day. The great Emperor, with the support of a group of merchants from friendly countries, succeeded in quelling a rebellion initiated by the clan. With the exception of a very small number of people who escaped this pursuit, many were captured alive.

Among the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, there were many people who had close contacts with the rebellious Zhao Zongshi and his gang. But after Zhao Zongshi was pacified today, their situation became delicate. Everyone will worry that His Majesty the Emperor will change his benevolent style in the past and come to kill them all.

It is precisely for this reason that among all the civil and military ministers of the previous dynasty, there are very few people who are still as active as usual. Therefore, the emperor's will to reward the meritorious was immediately drafted by the Hanlin scholars without anyone's opposition. When the Prime Minister's seal is affixed, it becomes an official decree.

The first to be agreed upon was the reward of Miao Shou and others. To Miao Shou's surprise, the emperor not only had no intention of killing him, but also gave him a regular official after the festival. This made him excited for a while.

But the emperor was not in the mood to see Miao Shou's excited expression. He knew what Shu Tingbei was trying to seek. According to his current strength, he doesn't have the ability to argue with this four lords, plus he still expects the Star Cat Group to become the lubricant of the Great Song Dynasty and the Splendid Kingdom, of course, he can't offend them.

Then, the reward given to them must be heavy.

"The widow decides. Gift the soon-to-be-recovered Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Star Cat Group as a reward for helping the widows put down the rebellion. ”

As soon as Zhao Zhen's words were spoken, they immediately aroused widespread dissatisfaction among the courtiers.

Wen Yanbo took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, how can I say that the sixteen states of Yanyun that my Great Song soldiers worked hard to recover will be given to others." When the time comes, the soldiers will be chilled. If the soldiers are unstable, it is very likely to endanger the society. Your Majesty, you must not be so hasty. ”

Sun Fu was recalled to Bianjing City by Zhao Zhen not long ago, and in the whole process of counterinsurgency, although he had no credit, the mouth he spoke was still there, so he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty." The sixteen states of Yanyun are the land of the ancestors, and the Emperor Shi Jingjiao of the Later Jin Dynasty ceded this place to the Khitan, which is really a shame for my China. What is the difference between Your Majesty and the Emperor there? ”

Wen Yanbo heard that someone was supporting him, and immediately said: "If Your Majesty appreciates the merits of the splendid countrymen, you can do it." It is absolutely impossible to give gifts to the sixteen states of Yanyun. ”

Tang Jie, a famous angry young man in the Northern Song Dynasty, also stood up at this time. I saw that he was fearless and yelled at the emperor: "Faint king! The land of the ancestors, it is not easy to take it back, how can it be given away? If you reward merit with this, you will not accept it. ”

Other courtiers stepped forward one after another, and the hall was noisy like a vegetable market for a while.

Shu Tingbei sneered and said in her heart: "Another unconvinced." The old lady is about to become a monopoly on all kinds of disobedience. ”

Shu Tingbei glanced at Zhang Fei beside her, only to see the latter tear up his voice and roar loudly: "Don't make any noise." My lord has something to say. ”

For a moment, there was silence. Tang Jie originally wanted to reprimand this red guy with two sentences, let's discuss the Great Song Kingdom, what is the matter with your group of barbarians? But seeing Zhang Fei's bull's eyes staring at him, he didn't dare to speak for a while.

Shu Tingbei cleared her throat at this time, stepped forward and asked, "How much money does the treasury have?" ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at the third envoy, but said without giving him a chance to get inflamed: "It's not much." ”

"Then I'll buy that land. Anyway, in the northern desert, there is no use except for herding sheep. I offer 120 million yuan, which will be settled in 12 years. During the period, the interest will not be raised. What do you think? ”

The minister of the full hall gasped. 10 million per year, which means that the income of the imperial court has to be slightly doubled every year. What kind of businessman is this, so rich?

"Okay." Zhao Zhen didn't wait for the ministers to react, and immediately agreed.

Wen Yanbo, Tang Jie and others were about to refute at this time, saying that they would not sell it for much money, but they heard Zhao Zhen say: "There are many meritorious soldiers this time, and I am worried that the treasury does not have much money." ”

At this moment, several people are not able to speak.

Shu Tingbei said again at this time: "But I have one condition. In the future, this place will become an independent country, and the original Qiong country will also be incorporated into this country. Although I haven't thought of a name, I hope to be able to communicate with Da Song in the future. ”

"Okay." Zhao Zhen immediately agreed, "Then open a field at the border." ”

"No, no, no." Shu Tingbei denied, "It is to allow businessmen, craftsmen, and scholars from the two countries to enter friendly countries without visas and engage in business, job hunting, study tours, etc." Between the two countries, open borders, although nominally two countries, but in fact one country. The population can move freely, but it must be issued by the government, well, the road guide. ”

Shu Tingbei said this, but let the road guidance system appear in the history of Chinese civilization in advance.

"Okay." Zhao Zhen immediately admitted, "It's decided." ”

Prime Minister Pang Ji didn't think there was any problem. Looking at the appearance of these merchants, they just want to find a piece of land to trade, so what is not allowed. As long as they are not the kind of ferocious people of the Khitan, that is enough.

Wen Yanbo also felt that a group of businessmen couldn't make any big waves, and the more they didn't continue to entangle. Anyway, in essence, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyan are equivalent to returning to the Great Song Dynasty.

Although the other important ministers hated merchants, the country was now at war, and the treasury might soon be at the bottom, and if someone was willing to send money, they would put up with it.
