Chapter 106: I Have a Little Gossip Here
"Take the stars off? How is this possible! β
That's just an exaggeration. If that person can bring my daughter a happy life, even if I can't afford the dowry, I will approve of this marriage. If not, I'm sorry, even if you add money, you can't bribe me. The back door is blocked, so let's go back and forth. β
Afraid that Ji Lie would have some unnecessary misunderstanding about her, Su Yin added, "Just assuming, I don't have a daughter, and I don't want a daughter, children are the most troublesome." β
Especially the kind of children who like to pull their hair.
Su Yin silently added in his heart.
Recalling the experience of bringing a baby in the modern world, Su Yin said that the water of the West Lake is her tears!
For some reason, young children are especially fond of grabbing her hair.
Forget about scratching your hair, the key is that the pain when you grab your hair is too clear!
If there is a choice, she would rather choose to move bricks than take children.
"I don't even want children, let alone watch her grow up and remarry. Isn't the money of the dowry money? Isn't it good to keep this silver to travel in the mountains and rivers? β
Although Su Yin's muttering was small, it still made Ji Lie hear it.
twitching the corners of his mouth, he asked again: "There is a rumor that the prince of Shao Kingdom wants to marry Ji Fu, do you think Your Majesty will agree?" β
"Huh?"
Hearing Ji Lie's "gossip", Su Yin was also quite surprised.
If she remembers correctly, the crown prince of Shao State is not from the queen, right?
If this news is true, then Chu He and Queen Chu are about to face a big trouble.
Touching his chin and thinking for a while, Su Yin said, "How can you casually speculate about the holy will?" That's going to be a head-off! β
ββ¦β¦β
Ji Lie: I understand the reasoning, but can you pretend to be a little bit like it? It's good to be respectful when you speak, don't be so hippie and smiling, and you won't be like this perfunctory!
"Ahemβ"
Thinking of his identity, Ji Lie was a little embarrassed.
In order to prevent Su Yin from becoming suspicious, he made up an excuse and said: "I have some relationship with Ji Fu in blood, and I don't really want her to marry away from another country." I can't think of anything to do for the time being, so I have to ask the girl what she thinks. β
Su Yin: Sure enough, it's a guy who has a relationship with the royal family!
Thinking of the TV series he had watched, Su Yin said: "Isn't the princess just for getting married?" β
"You can think like that!"
"A marriage transaction can bring Ji Guo several years of cultivation time, no matter how you think about it, it feels very cost-effective." Seeing that Ji Lie's expression was a little annoyed, Su Yin added, "If it was Ji Fu, she would definitely think so." β
"Girl, do you know Ji Fu very well?"
"I don't know. However, you can tell at a glance what kind of person she is. In her heart, the royal family will always be the first to take the throne. As for herself...... On the contrary, it is secondary. β
Thinking of Ji Fu's stubborn temperament, Ji Lie was silent.
If she was really given the choice, she would definitely agree to marry without saying a word.
Even if she had hundreds of reluctances in her heart, she would not show those emotions.
Thinking about it, Ji Lie became more and more distressed.
"Uncle, it's useless for you to be sad. Even if Ji Fu can say that she doesn't want to marry, but the emperor doesn't nod, it's okay! β
"Why are you so sure that the Holy Lord will agree to Prince Shao's courtship?"
"Aren't all emperors the same, treating the people as ants, let alone a little daughter. There are so many harem concubines, wouldn't it be nice to have another one if there is no more? Besides, after marrying off the princess, not only can you exchange for peace, but also enhance your prestige among the people, which is a sure deal! β
Su Yin's words deeply pierced Ji Lie's heart.
What does it mean to have another one without it, Ji Fu is her daughter, and it is the meat of his palm!
Even if this is a patriarchal era, he doesn't want his daughter to marry far away.
His throat was a little dry, and Ji Lie said in a deep voice: "Girl, didn't you have a very high evaluation of Emperor Ji before, why did you say this now?" β
"You can't have it both ways.
If that person wants to be a qualified emperor, there is no way to be Ji Fu's loving father.
Uncle, think about it, what will happen if you refuse Prince Shao's proposal?
If it's serious, it will bring war to Ji Guo!
When the time comes, the people will definitely blame all this on the head of the emperor and Ji Fu, and regard them as sinners who brought war to Ji Guo. β
Thinking of the feudal social system and ideas in ancient times, Su Yin couldn't help but complain: "Don't think about being a good father if you are born in the royal family." When there is a conflict between individual interests and collective interests, personal interests must be abandoned, and the same is true for the daughters born. β
Unconsciously clenched his fists, Ji Lie knocked on the stone table in front of him.
The sympathy from his fingertips was far less than the pain in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
"Girl, is there no other way?"
"Yes."
"Huh?"
Su Yin's words brought Ji Lie another glimmer of hope.
As an alternative emperor, he didn't want to make excuses for his incompetence, let alone sacrifice his daughter's happiness in exchange for the stability of the country.
As soon as he heard that Su Yin had a way, a flame of hope ignited in his heart again.
"If you want to solve the problem, you just need to solve the problem by solving it."
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Thinking of a possibility that he didn't dare to think about, Ji Lie asked, "Girl, what do you mean...... Solve the crown prince of Shao State? β
"That's right."
"What kind of way is this? Isn't this taking the initiative to provoke a war! β
"If Ji Guo is unprecedentedly powerful, do you still need to worry about this problem? Just find a reason to raise troops in Shao Guo and find a way to eat them. When the people of Shao become the people of Ji Kingdom, do you still need to marry a princess? β
"War is bloody."
The more he listened, the more strange he felt, and Su Yin couldn't help but ask, "Didn't the imperial court discuss the matter of gunpowder?" β
"Gunpowder? What is that? β
Secretly sighed that Ji Ruo's work was really unreliable, and Su Yin explained to Ji Lie what gunpowder was.
The more he listened, the more shocked he became, and Ji Lie began to calculate in his heart the amount of silver needed to make gunpowder.
After calculating, he felt that the expenses were not large, and he actually had the idea of starting a war.
"Girl......"
"Don't make a noise."
After drawing a few times on the table with his fingers, Su Yin muttered, "Do you want to study the hot air balloon in advance?" If it can be used in battle, the tailwind game is a sharp weapon for air attack. β
"Hot air balloons? What is that? β
"It's the same tool that allows people to fly into the sky."
"Fly into the sky?"
At this moment, Ji Lie couldn't sit still.
What Su Yin said broke his cognition, and just listening to it made him a little suspicious of life.
Can people really fly into the sky?
Isn't that something that only immortals can do?
With a straight face, Ji Lie said solemnly: "Girl, is what you said true?" It can't be made up to comfort me, is it? β
"Everything I say is true, don't think that others can't do it just because you can't do it. If you can spend a little more time in Jinqiongfu City, I can get the hot air balloon out for you. The latest chapter of "Is the Big Boss Lifted Out of Poverty Today" is free to read for the first time.
