Chapter 80: Bribery

The queen sulked there alone for a while, thinking about it, it was all caused by her daughter's stupidity.

She couldn't hold back her anger and went to her daughter's palace.

When I arrived at my daughter Ram's palace, I saw my daughter Ram losing her temper there, and there was a broken bottle on the ground.

The queen's face was pulled down, and Ram was so angry that he couldn't even salute when he saw his mother.

The queen said, "Come, clean up this place, and then get out." ”

Immediately, a few palace maids came in, packed up their things with their hands and feet, and then retreated.

The queen sat down on the top seat and looked at Ram quietly.

Ram was watched for a long time, couldn't help it, ran to his mother's side, half-knelt, leaned on his mother, and coquettishly said, "Mother, what's the matter with you?" Isn't it to give that woman a dismount? Why don't you help me and punish me? Did you see that it was my generation that her people hit? What is she? Dare to do it to me, does this show that you don't take your father seriously? ”

To be honest, the queen was also very distressed when her daughter was wronged. She couldn't help asking, "Did you fall and hurt?" Are you hurt? ”

In fact, the female guard who made the snow was very measured, and she didn't take a heavy hand at Ram, but just threw Ram out. But Ram's two guards were really not lightly affected.

However, Ram would not admit it. She heard that her mother felt sorry for her and replied to her, so she hurriedly said: "Of course it hurts, I can't move because of the pain." ”

The queen snorted and laughed, "Can't move, can you still drop things?" ”

Ram was broken and a little embarrassed.

The queen looked at her daughter and sighed, saying, "You stupid boy." When will I grow up? Look at you. So impulsive and reckless every time. Do you know? This time, you almost made a big mistake again, and you are going to bring disaster to our southern Xinjiang. ”

Ram pouted and said, "I'm just beating that woman, what disaster can I bring to southern Xinjiang?" Emperor Dachu is not ready now? Is it for the sake of that woman who has been slapped and started a war? ”

The queen sighed and said, "The Great Chu Emperor will not start a war for her at this time. However, after all, she is the county lord of Da Chu, if she is injured by you in our palace, I am afraid that Da Chu will come to hold her accountable. It's a shame to humiliate us. Of course, we are not afraid of this, but it is just some verbal battle. But have you thought about it? Behind that woman is not a backer of Da Chu. ”

Ram was stunned.

The queen said, "Who is her brother?" You won't forget? That's the Northwest Duke. How long has it been since we separated? He has become a squire of the military department. Became a national prince. also has heavy troops, and the Northwest Army can defeat even the barbarians. ”

Ram's expression changed, and when she thought of Zhao Chongyi, she still had an indescribable emotion in her heart.

The queen continued: "Of course. The Northwest Army is so far away from us. Zhao Chongyi can't do it for his sister. Bring people from the northwest to kill. However, you must know that her sister-in-law Chen Wenhui is the head of Nanyang. How powerful is the Xiao Chen family at sea. Don't you understand? Back then, when the princess and his wife walked from the sea, haven't you seen the five thousand elite soldiers? At that time, they were bent on leaving, if they wanted to seek a dynasty, they could also succeed, kill me and your father, and raise a puppet from other tribes, wouldn't they be able to control southern Xinjiang? ”

"What happened back then was caused by your recklessness. Why don't you learn your lesson and provoke their family? If the county lord of Wen'an has any mistakes with us, I estimate that in less than a day, the trade between our southern Xinjiang and Nanyang will end. In less than a month, it is estimated that the war between Nanyang and us will start. ”

"It's not that you don't know that there are two huge forces in Nanyang, one is the combat power of Yizhou Island, which is the power that can destroy the Japanese country. One is the escort army of the four cities of Nanyang. It used to be very powerful, but now it is Zhao Chongyi's father, Lao Zhongyi, who is in charge, and his combat power has increased a lot. In the Nanyang area, the war was invincible and laid down the territory of Nuoda. ”

"Of course, the county lord of Wen'an is not the daughter of the old loyal and righteous prince, but if the husband and wife of the northwest prince and the old loyal and righteous prince come with people and horses to be avenged by the county lord of Wen'an, you say, can we not face the disaster of swords?"

"Maybe without Da Chu's action, we will be destroyed. Of course, maybe we in southern Xinjiang can hold off their attack. However, have you ever thought that once the war starts and we are defeated, we will be defeated. We won, and we lost a lot. Our national strength, our economy, our people, and our army have all suffered huge losses. When the time comes, will you still be able to meet the attack of Da Chu? And what about them? If they win, they have one more territory, and they can also avenge the county lord of Wen'an, but what if they are defeated? It's not a war on their land, they just have to go back in a boat, and it doesn't affect them at all. It's nothing more than sacrificing some fighters and wasting some money. ”

"Nowadays, among the several cities in Nanyang, which one is not a fat oil, and still cares about this money? Can't afford to fight this battle? Even if the soldiers die, they don't care, their pension is the highest. Their manpower has also increased year by year. Da Chu has continuously supplied them with people, and there are still fewer people to use? ”

"Tell me, if you slap you really hard, how much disaster can you bring to southern Xinjiang? Are you not a sinner through the ages? ”

As she spoke, Princess Ram was drenched in a cold sweat.

When the queen saw that her daughter knew that she was wrong, she slowed down and said, "Do you think I don't hate her?" She persecuted me so much, and didn't respect me at all, do you think I don't hate? However, her backer is hard, and now we still have to rely on her sister-in-law's Nanyang to develop us. If only we could have the armor and weapons of the South Seas to arm our children. I believe that in the future, we will have a lot more chances of winning the war with Da Chu. That's what we're ultimately aiming for. ”

Ram calmed down. She followed her mother to learn government affairs, and she is also a person who understands the overall situation. I figured it out in a blink of an eye. She said to the Queen: "I was wrong, Mother, and I will remember later, focusing on the big picture." ”

The Queen nodded in satisfaction.

The queen said: "Now that the reputation of the prince is growing, and there are more and more people in the tribe who speak for him, he now has a stake in the Zhao family caravan, and he cannot spend all the money that the Zhao family caravan gives him every year." Now with the dowry of more than one million taels of silver brought by the county lord of Wen'an, the county lord of Wen'an will manage it again, and the four streets are being run by her every day, and they are getting richer and richer, so they can naturally buy more people's hearts. Your future is in jeopardy. ”

Ram was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Then what should I do?" Actually, I know that. I have just asked the people around me, since the county lord of Wen'an entered the palace gate, he has given rewards to all the people she sees. The maids around me all got a purse. The purse was all satin, and the embroidery was very exquisite, and there were actually two small gold nudes in it. You say, "Can this not buy people's hearts?" These little maids are just showing her the way, and the reward she gets is more than the hard work of several years in our palace. Can it not be towards her? ”

"This is still the little maids, she is even more able to buy people's hearts in the circle of noblewomen in the city, today a banquet, tomorrow a flower party, free to serve these noblewomen to eat those exquisite Da Chu food. I often give these ladies things. Sometimes it's some delicate jewelry, sometimes it's some beautiful clothes, and those expensive perfumes, very good skin care products, and these ladies in the city are coaxed by her and revolve around her every day. You say, what can I do if this continues? ”

The queen sighed and said, "So, we have to think about it too." You're not too young, and you're going to have to find a help. What kind of goods was Mu Li before, with help, how good do you see now? I used to even compete for the Vine Clan Patriarch and almost lost to the woman Lan Ling. However, since marrying your father, I have not only become the patriarch of the Teng tribe, but also the queen of southern Xinjiang. So, you're going to get married too. Accept a helping tooth and this will strengthen your position. ”

Ram was stunned for a moment, and said in a half-loud voice: "However, I don't want to get married yet." ”

The queen said softly: "I know you are still thinking about Zhao Chongyi, but when you met him, he was already married, and he was destined to have no fate with you." Now that they have a good relationship between husband and wife, I heard that they even have a son, when do you have to wait? ”

When Ram heard this, he couldn't help but cry. Before, she was thrown out by the maid who made the snow, but she didn't leave any tears, but now when she mentioned Zhao Chongyi, she couldn't help crying.

The queen sighed and said, "If it should be broken, let it be broken quickly." Now, you need a marriage urgently. I've already helped you look at it, it's the current first son of the Lan Clan, the future heir of the Lan Clan, Lan Ying. ”

Ram couldn't help frowning and said, "Is that the blue shadow born to Lady Lan Mei?" He's a concubine, huh? ”

The queen smiled and said, "We don't talk about concubines in southern Xinjiang. Besides, after Wu Lilan died, Lan Ling was disgusted by the patriarch of the Lan clan, and later, with my help and love, Mrs. Lan Mei killed Lan Ling, and she became the first elder of the Lan clan and the first lady of the patriarch. Her son Lan Ying is naturally the next patriarch of the Lan Clan. As soon as your marriage with Blue Shadow is completed, you will have the support of the Blue Clan, the Teng Clan, and the Bai Clan, and this position is not stable? ”

"Besides, Blue Shadow is different from the idiot of Wu Lilan. Back then, I would rather you take risks than marry you to Wu Lilan, just because Wu Lilan is not a good person. However, Blue Shadow is different. He is handsome, erudite, and personable, and has always been a well-known son in the city, and his reputation is still above that of Muli back then. Where else to ask for such a son-in-law? ”

"Besides, Lan Mei can become the first lady, and that's not because she joined forces with me. Now, her position is not stable, she urgently needs our help, in the future, if you marry Lan Ying, she, as a mother-in-law, can only respect you, and dare to treat you badly? ”

Saying this, Ram was also a little moved, and after thinking about it for a long time, the person in his heart was a bubble after all, or be realistic, in order to solve the current crisis, Blue Shadow is also a good choice.

Ram nodded helplessly.

The queen was overjoyed. (To be continued......)
