December 21, 662 in the electrical calendar.

Pickaxe capital, the inner hall of Beiling Palace. The ministers and doctors of the twenty-seven seats of Taiyun gathered in front of the emperor, and now the proposal in front of the emperor is discussing the information brought back by Qingjun Xiumin.

Standing in the interests of the Qingjun family, this information Qingjun Xiumin didn't want to bring back anyway. But concealment of information is also absolutely unavoidable. The interests involved in this are too extensive, and if they are deceived for a while, they will inevitably be doomed in the future

After Qingjun Xiumin returned, he was summoned by Emperor Taiyun to the secret meeting for four hours. After the secret meeting was over, the emperor summoned the imperial ministers to the palace overnight and convened this meeting

On the desk, the emperor transmitted the information to the development screen in front of everyone.

One after another, the ministers were shocked when they saw that the Rong family had gained a firm foothold in the East China Sea and at the same time mastered a technique to extend the life of the magic line.

"Impossible", at the desk, a general stood up in a trance. And when he said that this sentence was impossible, his tone was incredulous and trembling, and he did not resist, but did not dare to believe it.

"I also think it's impossible, Your Majesty must send someone to find out." Guan Xin (Quan Xi) said loudly.

Katsuaki looked at the minister: "If this is true, what do you think?" ”

He raised his hand in the long sleeve of the black brocade, pointed to the coastal map of the mainland, and said, "That is where the imperial whip is out of reach. Rong Jia, Rong Jia, Rong Jia. ”

[At this time, His Majesty the Emperor's tone has a complex taste of love and hate]

Hundreds of years ago, Chao Ming deeply intervened in the grievance between Qingjun and Gun Flame, and today this grievance is left to Shengzhao in addition to a headache or a headache.

A few years ago, seeing the capture of the western part of Jingchuan, this thousand-year-long grudge finally came to an end, but now, it has only been a few years! The Rong family is quickly reborn.

At this time, many ministers in front of the emperor were also silent at the right time.

In the face of this old vinegar-like grievance, these princess families all think that they are outsiders and mediate!? Now who would dare to drag themselves into this mess?

The tumor-like relationship between Chaoming, Qingjun, and Gunflame is by no means only traced back to Chaoming's bias 400 years ago, but to really trace, it is necessary to trace back to Chaoming's promise to the ancestors of the Qingjun family 1,300 years ago.

At that time, the ancestor of the Qingjun family was the prince of Chaoming, that's right! It's the one who once the cloth was successful, and the gun flame family instantly became a spare tire.

At the beginning, the prince of Taiyun gave up the competition for the throne and joined the Qingjun family, helping Taiyun control the large machinery manufacturing group of Qingjun, so Qingjun is the Chaoming family.

And the Emperor of Chaoming of that generation also made a promise to the ancestors of the Qingjun family: he will always ensure the stability of the Qingjun family's incense.

Moreover, after the electronic revolution, Qingjun directly sent the relevant technical system to Taiyun for the first time, which solved Taiyun's urgent need. And although the Gun Flame family here is the founder of electronic technology, the Rong family moved east later, and the related technology they brought is just icing on the cake.

Therefore, in terms of merit, qualifications, and relationships - more than 600 years ago, the Ming Dynasty was biased in favor of light from the beginning.

And later, Qingjun vs. the Rong family, that is the kind of plot of 'Li Si and Han Feizi'. It's just that the Rong family was not completely killed.

To this day, the Rong family is still alive and kicking, and from time to time to engage in a new technology to respond to Chaoming and Qingjun. In this way, the Rong family silently ridiculed Taiyun's unfairness in the appearance of a live advertisement, was jealous of the virtuous and jealous, and drove the talent arrogantly in Chaoming.

The law is not merciful, and once anything proves that the high-ranking person makes the law but does not explain the law, then the credibility of the law will be lost. Taiyun's law is not only to drive away the small people, but also to coordinate the contradictions of interests of these ministers.

Therefore, how Chaoming deals with the Rong family now is not only to deal with a family grievance, but to discuss in front of the ministers whether the Chaoming family is big or the legal prince in Taiyun.

At present, all the ministers abide by the law of the country because they believe that the law is correct and the law is right. Anyone who pursues his own selfish interests will be severely punished, and anyone who serves the country by virtue of his talents will be rewarded. Therefore, we can work together from top to bottom.

If the superior does not teach the law, everyone will inevitably be in danger, and private affairs before public affairs.

……

After pacing on the map of the main hall for ten minutes, Katsuaki raised his eyebrows and pointed to the north of the map, and said, "Next year, Gu wants our army to conquer Sesi again." ”

The topic suddenly jumped to war, so that the ministers present did not turn around for a while.

And some ministers frowned, because the conquest of Sisi was originally scheduled for six years, but now it was suddenly advanced, and the country was in a hurry.

But they quickly reacted to why it was ahead of schedule. Because of Pengzhi technology, it has brought a series of accidents to the original plan.

If the news brought by Xiu Min is true, then the technological changes set off by the Rong family will greatly increase the number of high-ranking occupations in the eastern countries of Heyuan in the short term.

For Taiyun, this is the time to go.

Many ministers of Taiyun have heard about it now. The person in charge of the East China Sea Sandstorm Group is a disciple of the Zhao family, so before talking about things, you must first show your chips.

[January 4, 663 of the electrical calendar, at the port of Cuiyu Port]

Without the war, Su Ying was idle, of course, Su Ying would not let himself be idle for long, and some "whimsical ideas" soon drove Su Ying to continue to be busy.

In the No. 7 experimental base, in the electronic industry production base, manipulators are operating in an orderly manner, and only a few workers wearing white mechanical suits are controlling the production process in the huge factory

On the control platform separated by glass, Rong Jue looked at Su Ying and hugged the design drawing.

On this design drawing, there are huge solar photovoltaic sail panels, lithium battery power storage system, high-precision lenses, and electronic chips that are resistant to cosmic radiation. Of course, the shell will be wrapped in a crumpled layer of gold leaf.

Rong Jue looked at the design drawing, and then looked up at Su Ying.

Su Ying continued to smile brightly. , said: "How about it, let's make one together?" ”

Rong Jietang took a breath and said, "It's very interesting, but if you hadn't brought it up, I would have thrown it into the shredder." Because there are so many areas of industrial technology involved, so many of them make me feel troublesome. ”

On the plan handed by Su Ying to Rong Jitang, in addition to building a huge rocket launch station, building a launch base station, an observation base station, and of course, a sea monitoring ship. - Rong Jietang politely rejected Su Ying: "You are now beyond our industrial capacity. ”

Su Ying nodded quickly, and then quickly explained: "It's very troublesome, but if Taiyun agrees to cooperate with us, and we make full use of your Rong family's manpower in Taiyun, this big plan can still be done." ”

After hearing this, Rong Jietang paused, then pinched his chin and nodded: "You're right, now we are cooperating with Taiyun, well, that's right, if we cooperate with Taiyun, and Taiyun doesn't provide us with some convenience, then the cooperation between the two sides is unstable." ”

Su Ying looked at Rong Jue Tang and continued to instigate: "Yes, and once this space satellite network is completed, we occupy the best orbital frequency band, then we can ensure the hegemony of this technology for hundreds of years!" ”

Rong Jietang put down the report and asked, "Have you handed over the plan to Zhao Xuanwei now?" ”

Su Ying nodded solemnly: "Yes, I have already handed it in, and now he asks me to ask you if you support it or not." ”

Rong Jue looked at the smiling Su Eagle, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyebrows.

In the entire Sandstorm Group, who doesn't know Zhao Xuanxuan's trust in Su Ying, and what Su Ying wants to do, Zhao Xuanxuan rarely stops it. And Zhao Xuanwei did not support the first thing, among them, it is likely that there is a ......

Rong Jietang's previous words quickly appeared in his head.

He suddenly felt in his heart, then looked at Su Ying and asked, "You just said that you need to use manpower in the Taiyun region to carry out these projects, so naturally you have to send someone to organize it." ”

Su Ying's face stiffened, and the expression of 'discovered by you' made a left Gu Yan said: "That, that, I want to go to the west to see, by the way, there are still any available talents on the Rong family side of your west." ”

Rong Jietang looked unmoved, stared at Su Xuan's eyes and asked, "So, you want me to help you persuade Zhao Xuanyu, right?" ”

Su Xuan, who couldn't stop nodding, said with a flattering smile: "Look, that, I'll help your family, then you help me go and talk to Zhao Xuanyu......"

Rong Jietang pressed Su Ling's head, 'banged' with his forehand and backhand, and then looked at the paper materials in his hand, and said coldly: "You let me think about it, and I will give you an answer tomorrow." ”

Su Ying nodded sensibly: "Well, well, you must think about how to talk to Zhao Xuanyu." That, I'm going to leave Cuiyu Port for a while tomorrow, and I'll leave everything to you. ”

……

In Jiji, the Meng family's house,

Elegant flowers and rockeries, a three-story attic is tucked away. After retiring from power, Meng Hong, who was suspended, stayed here. Of course, Meng Hong is not disappointed.

After the 'Pengzhi' incident was made public, Zhao Xuanwei sent Meng Hong a lot of canned melons and fruits. And brought a quasi-letter: "Your injustice, my heart is knotted, you are the only person who can vouch for my reputation in Penghai." ”

And just after Meng Hong went into seclusion with a letter of resignation and resignation, the Meng family was in full swing, and the ministers of Pengjia collectively changed their faces.

In the face of such a political turnaround.

The head of the Meng family sneered in the house, he drank and retreated from the clan, the commotion of the old people in those rooms, and regained the rights in the clan.

Rong's called and gently persuaded his daughter (Meng Hong) to rest for ten days and half a month, nourish her heart, nourish her qi, and don't worry.

With a wave of his hand, he dispatched a construction team to enclose the far circle with iron railings, and separated all the disturbances that disturbed Meng Hong's tranquility with a wall. and sent a large number of servants and housekeepers to be responsible for Meng Hong's procurement and serve Meng Hong's daily life.

The reason why the patriarch of the Meng family dared to do this was because Zhao Xuanyu (Su Ying Guangling) insisted on recognizing Meng Hong as the middleman.

The reason why the Sandstorm Group appointed Meng Hong as the intermediary is because the Ministers of Pengjia do not have a correct attitude towards cooperation.

These Shangqing in Penghai have just finished fighting and scolding the traitors, and now they want to make up when they see the benefits, how can it be so easy? If you want to set no threshold at all. Wouldn't it make the cooperation led by the other side too cheap?

However, if Sandstorm directly stands up and forces the Penghai Princesses to bow their heads, such a 'tough' will be cool, in fact, such an attitude will likely arouse the common self-esteem of the Pengjia Princes' family and the middle-level noble families.

And Pengzhi is obviously a matter of sandstorm and the family of the Minister of Penga, so that the Minister of Penga has the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. That's a problem. Therefore, catching the injustice of the upper family and making them bow their heads towards their partner (agent) Meng Hong can reduce a lot of side effects.

Now Minister Penghai must cross this threshold with Meng Hong with his head down, so as to get rid of the attitude of 'giving' and 'grace' in cooperation.

[As the ships of the forces of Hanshan and Zhejiang-Ning are approaching more and more frequently in Cuiyu Port, the Shangqing family in Penghai has begun to be restless]

Now, the pure white car with a golden pattern stopped at the gate of the manor, and the uniformed soldier pulled the side door open, and the dragon scale half door pattern reflected the sunlight shining on the wall on the wall, scattering a golden pattern.

In the car, Lu Min's high heels stepped on the stone slab at the gate of the manor, and she walked in the middle of the road to the gate. But it was still blocked by the guards of the Meng family at the gate of the manor,

This made the entourage furious, and they scolded the guards at the gate of the manor for their audacity, and asked in an emphatic tone, "Do you know who you are stopping?" ”

The guard at the gate of the hermitage replied without humility or arrogance: "I don't know, but I do know that this is a legitimate private domain, and no one is allowed to trespass. ”

Lu Lumin, who was stopped, smiled, and she didn't get angry when she maintained her demeanor, because the chief elder was completely aware of Meng Hong's anger and even the Meng family's anger. Therefore, she now tries to lower her posture as much as possible and comes to advise as a close friend.

Looking at the doorman who was blocking in front of him like a loyal dog, Lu Min calmly: "Trouble, report it." I'm Lumin. ”

Lu Min waited at the door for two minutes, and then the servant came out and said, "I'm sorry, my lord, my master is guarding the room (similar to the meaning of being a monk on earth, transcending the red dust) and does not want to see guests. ”

Lu Min paused on her face, sighed and said, "Okay, please give her this letter." ”

Half an hour later.

Meng Hong opened the letter in front of his desk, and opposite Meng Hong was the projector, and on the projector was Su Hong, who would say hello to Meng Hong these days. Now Meng Hong threw the letter in front of Su Ying.

Su Ying looked at it and said with a smile: "Well, she advises you to look away a little." Don't dwell on previous unpleasantness. ”

Meng Hong: "What do you think?" ”

Su Ying responded gently: "Eight years ago, I was very open-minded, and in the face of scolding, I laughed and even thanked the other party very politely for taking care of them. But if I'm so good, can I really be taken over and over again? In the face of people I don't want to meet, I can completely cut off communication.

Why do I have to accompany my smiling face and lower my body to get their evaluation of my 'open-mindedness' when I am in a big interest now. ”

Meng Hong smiled and said half-jokingly: "You, you are very grinning, you have calculated so carefully in your heart, if they (Penghai Gongqing) are unwilling to bow their heads, will you (the sandstorm) just go on like this?" ”

Su Ying: "Who is afraid of whom, is it that now, can they still afford to fight a war on this matter?" ”

Meng Hong sighed: "Yes, Penghai can't afford to fight a war, and you can transfer from Penghai at any time now." And many forces want you to move over. It's not you who should be in a hurry, it's them. Meng Hong's tone was full of sadness, meaning, you want to make trouble desperately, what should I do?

Su Ying immediately noticed Meng Hong's face, and immediately said intimately: "Aunt, don't worry, we don't want to do it, and we won't do it, even if it's for you, I will still continue to deal with Penghai, and the problem now is that they must give us justice." You see, that's what they do to you. The face is hateful. Su Ying clenched his fists and looked angry.

Seeing this, Meng Hong smiled and scolded: "Okay, okay, don't make a show, just for me, it's okay to breathe a sigh of relief for your own youth." Give me an explanation, now that they-Tian Hai have been dealt with, and Tian Wang has also been taken down, how can you be satisfied. ”

Su Ying waved his hand and said, "They handle the internal personnel by themselves, what does it have to do with me?" I didn't have time to pay attention to the changes within their family. There are so many people who have offended us, do I have to remember them all by name? When they are in an official capacity, they must face up to the historical problems of the past, deeply reflect on their own attitudes, and only then can cooperation be carried out. ”

Meng Hong shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I understand, I know what to say." You little slippery head, try to get me in some trouble. ”

Su Ying said shyly: "That, I'm not suitable for dealing with people above Penghai (ripping), aunt, everything is entrusted to you." ”

[Four hours later, at the Penghai Governor's Office with blue tiles and white walls]

Lu Min, who looked tired, read Meng Hong's letter several times, and said in a low voice: "It turns out that I remember everything, and I remember everything clearly, but I didn't have a chance at the time, but now I have a chance." ”

Regarding the grievances between Su Ying and the children of the Tian family in the Tian Mansion, Lu Min knew about it, and she also knew that when Su Ying was accumulating the Dharma lineage, Lu Xin (Lu Min's cousin) gave some small shoes to wear in the Tian family's house.

And now Meng Hong replied to Lu Min, mentioning that Su Ying was ridiculed by the disciples of the Gongqing when he was young.

Yes, Su Ying has encountered injustice, and Lu Min knows it, but her heart is destined not to favor Su Ying.

Therefore, after reading the news sent by Meng Hong, the chief elder preconceived judgment that 'Su Ying is now taking the opportunity to take revenge', so he frowned and said unhappily: "(Su Ying) has a narrow temperament, how can he achieve great things." ”

She picked up her pen and replied to a letter and handed it to Meng Hong. The content of the letter is nothing more than that, let Meng Hong work hard, let Su Ying know how to miss Penghai's kindness, and don't be angry.

A few minutes later, Meng Hong took the letter, sneered coldly, raised his hand, and threw the unreasonable letter into the fireplace.

If Peng Haitian Mansion hadn't done anything before, Meng Hong would have barely understood Lu Min's position.

And now Meng Hong whispered to the letter that had been turned to ashes in the fireplace, and gradually gritted his teeth: "Where did it come from? I'm just bringing him back from the cold mountains; Where does the love come from? I'm just an outcast you threw out! ”

In the woman's eyes, the pupils that were as quiet as water reflected the flames of the fire jumping in the fireplace.
