Chapter 22: Picking Stars
The grass at the entrance of the cave was flattened, and the poor spiders were completely dead, and sadly abandoned their homes, and moved to another place to build their webs, this cave...... Let's give it to the pair of "dog men and women".
Ye Xiaotian and Tian Miaowen sat face to face on the "lawn", the bonfire was burning in the cave, and the red firelight reflected on their faces, reflecting two young, angular and curvaceous silhouettes.
A small, skinned beast was standing on the fire, squeaking and oily, and a guard carefully turned the wooden pole to bake the meat, which was not yet fully cooked, but the smell of the meat was already coming out.
The rest of the guards were scattered into the jungle, and the night was deep, and the sky was full of stars, and when you looked up, the stars blinked, and it seemed that if you jumped hard, you could pick the stars in your hands.
The cave was facing the cliff, and when seen from other directions, and with the vegetation covering it, it was difficult to notice the fire unless you got very close. And a few guards were lurking dozens of feet away around the cave, so the two of them could talk peacefully.
Ye Xiaotian fiddled with a straw stick at will, and said to Tian Miaowen: "You are so aggressive, you don't hesitate to expose your treasured capital, it shouldn't be just to export your evil anger, what do your Tian family want?" β
Tian Miaowen's bright eyes were reflected in the blazing firelight, and there seemed to be two clusters of flames flickering in her pupils: "I want the Tian family to rise again in the southwest!" β
Ye Xiaotian raised his head slightly, and there was a big star in his sight, and the big star was particularly bright. Ye Xiaotian had never studied celestial phenomena, so he didn't know what star it was, but he felt that it was much brighter than the stars around him.
Tian Miaowen saw Ye Xiaotian looking at the stars in a trance, and was silent for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "What?" β
Ye Xiaotian's gaze fell back on Tian Miaowen's face, and there were also two stars on that pretty face, although it was not as bright as the star in the sky, it was a hundred times more beautiful than the big star. These beautiful jewel-like "stars" are shining with hope in her heart.
Ye Xiaotian sighed and said, "The emperor's will is difficult to change. If it is the will of the first emperor, it will be close to the ancestral system, and it will be even more difficult to change. The Tian family has today, but it is the idea of the son of Yongle. β
Tian Miaowen is charming, but there is a trace of stubbornness at the corner of her mouth: "Is it easy for you to forcibly open up a territory outside the mountain to settle many mountain people?" If you want to bring out people who have lived in the mountains for thousands of years, is it easy? Even if it's just a glimmer of chance. I won't let it go! β
Ye Xiaotian asked rhetorically: "But where is the opportunity?" β
Tian Miaowen said word by word: "Yang Yinglong! β
Ye Xiaotian's eyebrows raised slightly, and when he felt puzzled or surprised, he would habitually make this action: "Yang Yinglong? β
Tian Miaowen said: "Not bad! Yang Yinglong has great ambitions and has been resentful for a long time, I believe you have noticed it. β
Ye Xiaotian nodded, and Tian Miaowen said: "If Yang Yinglong was in trouble, I would be loyal to the imperial court and cooperate with the imperial army to quell the rebellion, and this great function would not be able to realize your and my wishes?" Even if it can't be fully realized. After slaughtering this big fat pig, we can have a good year! β
Ye Xiaotian took a deep breath and said with a solemn face: "The contest between the two behemoths, we will get involved." If you are not careful, you will be crushed. β
Tian Miaowen said: "I think it's fishing in troubled waters!" Lord Ye, your current method of expanding your territory is actually not bad. The Tongfu family is ready to move, and wants to replace the Zhang family. You cleverly took advantage of this and united with the Yu family to hold the Zhang family hostage, thus gaining a foothold for you.
Yang Jiali was dizzy. Taking advantage of your return to the mountain, you took possession of your fortress and land, gave you a good reason to fight back, and you raised a puppet Tusi and brought the Shiqian Yang family under your jurisdiction.
However, this is all cleverness, without a clear direction in advance, and a clear understanding of the future, you can't plan carefully. You have to see the general trend clearly, the general trend is not clear, just like sailing along the river, sailing when the wind blows, dropping anchor when encountering the shore, and drifting with the current.
If you can know the waterway ahead, where is the water risk, where the beach is shallow, where is the wharf, where is the fork in the road, and where the fork in the road leads, which is higher and lower than the blind man and the blind horse and the one who sees the move? β
Ye Xiaotian raised his eyebrows again: "What is the general trend that the girl said?" β
Tian Miaowen slapped her waist and said with annoyance: "If it hurts somewhere else, it's okay, but it's ......, and now I can't sit or lie down, and after a while, my waist will be sore." β
Ye Xiaotian coughed and said, "Do you want to lend me my shoulder to lean on you?" β
Tian Miaowen snorted: "Is it comfortable for you to lean on your shoulder?" Just as tired! β
Ye Xiaotian patted his thigh and said jokingly: "How about borrowing your legs for the girl?" β
Tian Miaowen said: "I have a beauty couch in my room, and I am used to lying on the couch in Japan, so let's make you a beauty couch today." After speaking, he lay down on his side with peace of mind and pillowed on Ye Xiaotian's lap.
Her posture is really warm, the sky is full of stars, the night breeze is slow, a beautiful woman pillowed on a man's legs, if she is talking about some wind and snow, it is really appropriate for the situation, but the topic of conversation between the two is not related to this wind and horses.
Tian Miaowen pillowed on his lap, and she also had a strange feeling in her heart, but she was injured and sat for a short time, so she couldn't lie on her stomach and chat with him, right? That's not as decent as it is now.
Miss Tian took advantage of the night to cover her face, coughed, and got down to business: "Yang Yinglong has accumulated strength and has a plan, and my larger forces in Guizhou have been more or less aware of it, which is probably the convenience of the plumbing duck prophet." But did the imperial court know nothing about this? β
Ye Xiaotian thought for a while and said, "I think, although the imperial court regards the north as a big problem and doesn't pay much attention to the southwest direction, it doesn't always know nothing, right?" β
Tian Miaowen smiled and said, "Perhaps, the imperial court thinks that Yang Yinglong's stupid moves are just to compete with other toasts, or even if he detects his ambitions, he can only pretend not to know."
After all, Yang Yinglong's reflexes have not been revealed now, and it is impossible for the imperial court to strike first and rashly govern such a country within a country, which will arouse the precautions and vigilance of more than 100 Tusi in Guizhou. β
Ye Xiaotian said: "What are you wary of, we have no objections." β
Tian Miaowen snorted and said, "The anti-trace has not been revealed, you say that he is anti." Why? Today it is determined that he wants to rebel, and he can send troops without evidence or evidence, who dares to guarantee that he will not think that I will oppose tomorrow, and that you will oppose the day after tomorrow? Are you a good man and a woman in the court? β
Ye Xiaotian thought about it, it was also reasonable, even if he knew that Yang Yinglong was anti-willful, as a toast, he didn't want the court to punish him without teaching. If everyone acquiesced to this example, it is difficult to say whether the imperial court will use the same method on them in the future.
Tian Miaowen said: "However, if you think that the imperial court will do nothing. It's also wrong to passively wait for him to rebel and go to see him again. β
Ye Xiaotian asked vigilantly, "How do you say this?" β
Tian Miaowen said: "At the beginning of the year, Yang Yinglong dedicated the emperor's big wood and was rewarded by the imperial court, which can be described as favored, right?" But at the same time, the imperial court transferred Ye Mengxiong to Guizhou as the governor. This Ye Mengxiong entered the ranks as a civil official, but he was an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, loyal and brave. Dare to do anything, and be resourceful.
Since he entered the office, he has been promoted step by step from a small official, when he served in Ganzhou. extinguishing the Huangxiang Jikou; When he was an official in Anqing, he punished the giant of Heaven Mountain; When he was transferred to Zhejiang to inspect the seaway, he was in charge of coastal defense; Last year, he was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Yongping Military Department of Zhili and built an artillery car. Liaodong thieves are invincible. This person has already changed from civil to military, and the imperial court transferred him to Guizhou, so why did he come? β
Tian Miaowen said this. smiled coldly, and said: "The land of Banzhou originally belongs to Guizhou, but its land is closer to Sichuan, so Yang Yinglong's close relationship with Sichuan officials is especially better than Guizhou, so the imperial court transferred Li Hualong to Sichuan as governor.
Li Hualong is also a famous official, this person knows the military, especially good at knowing and employing people, what do you say the court transferred him to Sichuan for? It is clearly a rectification of the rule of officials. If it is not that the imperial court has a heart to guard against Yang Yinglong, I don't believe it if he is killed! β
Ye Xiaotian let out a "hmm", and suddenly felt that the pillowed on his lap was not a charming beauty who was more beautiful than flowers and jade, but Mr. Kong Ming with a lupine scarf, and he was Uncle Liu Huang with hands over his knees and big ears and shoulders.
No, his hands were not knee-length, and his earlobes were thick but not shoulder-length, but the little animal under his crotch was eager to move. There is no way, Tian Miaowen was born a stunner, and she was born with a bewitching appearance that brought disaster to the country and the people, but she was pillowed on his thigh, a stone's throw away from that private part, he was a hundred-year-old monk, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not have reverie.
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly put his tongue against the roof of his mouth, raised his anus and closed his abdomen, and silently recited in his heart: "Color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different color, color is empty, emptiness is color, in the name of the Lord, expel the evil spirit, Taishang Laojun is as anxious as the law!" β
Tian Miaowen didn't know what dirty thoughts were turning in his heart, his mouth opened lightly, his red lips moved, and he continued: "This is a precaution from the imperial court, but in Qiandi, the forces of all parties are also intertwined and check and balance each other. Half of this situation was born, and the other half was caused by the intention of the imperial court! β
"If you look closely, you will find that no matter how big or small the place is, there is always a force that is inferior to him, but once it is supported by external forces, or the most powerful force is severely defeated, it can replace it.
Under such circumstances, the most powerful forces will not dare to take the military lightly and do whatever they want internally. Of course, there are always exceptions, but they are never the norm, and they must remain so for decades at most.
One fort and one village, of course, it is not the turn of the imperial court to construct this balance, but the imperial court designed the big toasts like this, and the big toasts designed the small toasts in this way, and finally naturally formed such a mutual check and balance. β
Tian Miaowen raised her face and smiled charmingly at him: "Now that Yang Yinglong is about to break this balance, don't you think that in this case, the imperial court and the great toasts want to rebuild a force to balance it?" β
βduang~~~β
Ye Xiaotian's legs were a little numb from the pillow, and he moved his posture slightly, and a certain thing that was originally cleverly suppressed by his robe suddenly came up, making Ye Xiaotian embarrassed, so he could only stammer: "Yes...... Yes, the Tian family will definitely rise, I ...... I'm going to rise too! β
: Towards the middle of the month, I sincerely ask for monthly passes and recommended tickets! Rise to !!.
