Chapter 104: Waiting
After the agreement was finalized, life in Siam was very leisurely, and the comfortable Queen Mother couldn't sit still. She was asking her men to pack their things and prepare to go back to the capital.
Princess Lichuan came to comfort her, "Mother, why are you in such a hurry to leave? It's for the war in southern Xinjiang, and that's three years later, so why don't you go back three years later? ”
The Queen Mother said: "Lichuan, I have been waiting for this day for many years. You also know what I went back for, I am for the sake of the queen, I want to see the Wang family being dragged down, watching the Wang family unable to protect her, watching her fall into my hands and let me slaughter. ”
"Lichuan, you can't forget how your brother, the brother of your mother's compatriot, died, right?"
Princess Lichuan thought of that small, lovely brother, and remembered the miserable days she and her mother had lived after her brother died, and couldn't help but wet her eyes, and said, "How could I forget? The younger brother's revenge is to be avenged. But isn't it too early for my mother to go back? At least three years? Three years later, the war began, and it was not a year or two years to finish. After the fight, the Wang family will be dragged down, and the queen will fall into the hands of her mother. That's at least five to six years. Why are you going back to the capital now? ”
Saying this, the Queen Mother was also stunned, and said faintly after half a sound: "You're still right, it's too early to go back now." Then I won't pack up my things, I'll wait a little longer, and when the war against southern Xinjiang is over, I'll go back to the capital. ”
Princess Lichuan Yixi said: "Please rest assured, mother, wait for the end of the war in southern Xinjiang." Lichuan accompanied her mother to the capital. ”
The Queen Mother nodded.
Although the Queen Mother knew about this agreement, Chen Wenhui knew about it, but no one in the world knew about it. The emperor did a good job of secrecy. Only the Xiao Chen family, Chen Wenhui and his wife, and the Lichuan family know about this. The rest is that the queen doesn't know, the Chen family doesn't know, the Bai family doesn't know, and the Wang family doesn't know.
Concubine Wang De still flaunts her power in the palace, often bullying those favored new nobles. Beauty. Zhaoyi, Chongyi, Chonghua.
The queen still summoned the nobles of the capital as always, and from time to time added a few beautiful young ladies to the palace.
Bai Guifei is still powerful. Work hard for the Bai family to expand their power. Concubine Ma Shu also often helps Bai Guifei deal with the queen mother. The struggle in the palace is going on every day. But. They didn't expect that the emperor had already thought about southern Xinjiang and waited until the affairs of southern Xinjiang were over. It's time for the emperor to deal with the old family.
Chen Wenhui, who knows these inside information, is far away in the northwest at the moment, and she doesn't think about these, those palace fighting dramas have nothing to do with her, she is thinking about other issues.
Chen Wenhui said to Zhao Chongyi: "Chongyi, you say, do you know about this matter? ”
Zhao Chongyi watched the nurse take her lovely little daughter back to sleep, and only the two of them were left in the house, and said, "The husband and wife of Rongxue both know." The emperor has already told the news to their husband and wife through secret channels. You must know that their husband and wife are our Da Chu's internal response in southern Xinjiang, without their help, we will support the emperor's money, food, weapons and armor, and it will be difficult to defeat Da Chu in the shortest possible time. ”
After the couple found out, they thought about it and had already thought of a way to deal with it. I guess I don't have to worry about it. However, they may use us to help us out, which is the last thing to retreat. Haven't we been prepared for this for a long time? In the leased land outside Guangzhou, don't we have troops for a long time, and there are big ships there? It's still a few years away, and I think that at that time, the couple will give us a secret letter, and we will take them according to their plan. ”
Chen Wenhui thought about it, nodded and said, "That's the only way." It's just that Mu Li Gongzi betrayed the southern frontier, and in the future, he will establish a territory next to Siam, but I am afraid that he will not have a good reputation in the history of their nation. ”
Zhao Chongyi smiled and said: "History is written by the victors. He will become the patriarch of the Bai clan in the future, and he will seek a good territory for the Bai clan in the future, then he will be the founder of the new Bai clan, will he write bad things about himself? Maybe he will become a hero to save the nation? Our snow may go down in the history books as well. ”
Chen Wenhui thought about it, so she smiled and said: "It's really unexpected for me to make snow, I have always been worried that she was bullied by the queen in southern Xinjiang, and was bullied by the unruly girl of Princess Ram, who knows, the queen and Princess Ram were suppressed by her, and she is really capable." Well, maybe it's better than me. ”
Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "I was worried about snow before, but she is stronger than we imagined. Although she is in a place like Southern Xinjiang, where she is not familiar with life, she has made full use of the resources in her hands, and the Wang family has been used very well by her, and our caravan is completely under her orders. She also built the city of Guangzhou as a bazaar, making countless money, and there are countless capable people under her hands, the most important thing is that she also knows how to buy people's hearts and spares money, of course, first of all, because she is richer than the queen. ”
"A lot of money is sprinkled, and naturally the hearts of the nobles and the people are bought. Now, in southern Xinjiang, the reputation of the county lord is louder than that of the queen. Princess Ram was even more out of control. What are you worried about? ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "Yes, not to mention these alone, even if you deal with the queen, you are better than ordinary women." She can really pull down her face, she can say the good, and the bad can also be said. The queen is from the vine clan, or is she a little more realistic, where can she be the opponent of the snow? ”
Zhao Chongyi sighed and said, "Rongxue has these skills, and it is also because of her special experience." She's a lot harder than we were when we were younger. We are still in fine clothes and food, when a bunch of people are serving, she is in that place, she still has to serve people, and she has to be beaten and scolded, so she naturally learns to look at people's faces, and she also learns to buy people's hearts, and she also learns to fight and play conspiracy. It is said that the Imperial Palace and the Green House are the darkest places in the world. Rongxue grew up in that place since she was a child, where can the queen be her opponent? ”
"Besides, it's the Great Chu Palace, and I have lived in the snow for a while. I've learned a lot of things, too. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded.
The queen really ran into an iron plate this time.
At this moment in southern Xinjiang, Langxue and his wife are also talking in secret. Mu Li said: "Langxue, you know the content of the agreement. This is the biggest secret, no one can say, you know? ”
Lang Xue nodded and said, "You don't have to worry about this." It's just that we have to step up our steps like this. Now we are doing very well in Guangzhou. The nobles now have a good relationship with us, and we have also attracted a group of people who are of the same heart as us. The Yi people, the Bai people, the Miao people, and the Dai people have all stood on our line, that is, the Lan and Teng people are the queen's people. ”
"Outside of Guangzhou, we have been traveling around the world for the past few years, and we have instigated many leaders to follow us. In the future, if the war really breaks out. These people will follow us to the place that the emperor has already set aside for us to establish a new territory. So, I don't have anything to worry about. ”
Mu Li Gongzi nodded and said, "The leaders we can say only account for 20% of the leaders in Southern Xinjiang. The rest are stubborn. These people don't have to worry about them either. There are not many people who are really talented among these people, and the leaders who have talents are all in our two percent. Therefore, when the time comes, these people will all be wiped out by Da Chu. With these people, if you think about it, the Great Chu Emperor can also be satisfied. Didn't the Great Chu Emperor want the territory of southern Xinjiang, the Xiao Chen family, your brother and sister-in-law, and Princess Lichuan all wanted the population of southern Xinjiang? There are these eighty percent of people, and they should be able to satisfy them. ”
"It's just that we have to prepare now. If we have extra money, we will now start investing in the new territory of the South Seas. Previously, our manpower had already destroyed the indigenous country in that area, and although there were still some remnants, it was not too affected. We can already build a new city in that place. Do you want to move some people over first? ”
"I also told the queen about this. I am willing to lay down my own territory, she doesn't have to give me a territory, she is too late to be happy, so she naturally supports it. Therefore, I can take the opportunity to pull away a group of Bai cronies first. You have to get the money and food ready. ”
Lang Xue nodded and said, "Don't worry, husband." In the past few years, I have established a market in Guangzhou City and made a lot of money, and now these industries have more than doubled, and there is still no market. I can slowly release it, slowly take back the money, these few years are enough time for me to deal with these things unconsciously, exchange them for silver, give them to the black family, order those construction supplies, hire craftsmen, and build a new city. As for the food problem, it is easier to solve, we don't have to bring grain from southern Xinjiang, the last time I met the envoys of Princess Lichuan, I have already told them that I will buy food from them, so that we can save a lot of freight alone. And, most importantly, without alarming the Queen's people. We only told her to build a small territory, but we didn't say that we wanted to build a large place that could accommodate the entire Bai nationality and the second adult in southern Xinjiang. This secret still has to be kept. Therefore, I bought everything from Yizhou Island, Siam, and Nanyang. ”
Mu Li Gongzi nodded and said, "In this way, I may spend more time outside, after all, I have to pay more attention to the construction of the territory side." The city of Guangzhou is about to be handed over to you. The most important thing is our children. ”
Thinking of her son, Lang Xue said with a happy smile on her face, "Don't worry, husband." I'm in Guangzhou City, so I'll be able to handle everything well. I will also take the child well. You don't have to worry even if it's the queen, she's not my match for so many years. She and Ram have been defeated by my men many times, and they have long been afraid of me, and I don't look for their faults, and they don't dare to provoke me easily. You can rest assured. ”
Mu Li couldn't help but laugh when he thought of how the queen and Ram had suffered every time they had lost in the hands of Yuxue. (To be continued......)
