Chapter 224: Fu Hu III
"Silly son."
A noble lady in a purple dress walked into the room gently, looked at Lan Xiaosheng, who had no eyes in her eyes, and sighed distressedly, it was his mother, the wife of the king of Zhongzhou, Nangong Wanru.
"Mother, you help me plead with my father, I ......."
Nangong Wanru patted him on the head hard,
"I said why are you so stupid, how did you learn your father's stubborn temper."
Hearing her words, a hint of hope rose in Lan Xiaosheng's eyes, and he looked at her expectantly.
"It doesn't matter who you marry, what matters is who your heart is, you know?"
He smiled bitterly, he naturally understood his mother's words, but he was still unwilling.
"Actually, don't take your father's words too seriously, I'll teach you a way to ensure that your father is obedient."
"Mother, teach me quickly, what way?"
Looking at Lan Xiaosheng's anxious appearance, Nangong Wanru smiled proudly,
"Get on the bus first, then make up the ticket! At that time, as long as she gives birth to a son-in-law for you, I see if your father recognizes this grandson. β
Hearing his mother's words, Lan Xiaosheng was dumbfounded, it was really his mother, a good idea. As we all know, there are few people in the Zhongzhou royal family, and in Lan Xiaosheng's generation, there are only two sisters on it, he is a real only seedling, if he really cooks raw rice and ripe rice......
"I, I'm afraid that she won't agree with this ......"
Nangong Wanru rolled her eyes and glared at him fiercely,
"You useless thing, you can't handle this?"
With his mother's guidance, Lan Xiaosheng's mood also improved a little, and there was a slight vibration from the light brain on his wrist, and he looked down at this information, and his eyes suddenly froze. He hesitated slightly, and walked to his father's study...

The capital of the Tianxuan tribe is on the star of Elephant, which is particularly lively today, "Her Royal Highness the Queen of the Han and Tang Empires came to pay a friendly visit" is undoubtedly the front page headline of the news section of the major media, and above the central airport next to the capital city, Montel Dando led the high-ranking officials of Tianxuan to greet Avril and his party in person.
Montel Dando is in her early sixties, but she looks to be in her forties, with a typical Tianxuan-style hairstyle, her hair tied into small whips, wrapped in gold thread for decoration, and a yellow sage robe, holding the staff of the Great Chief, which symbolizes the supreme power of Tianxuan. He had been in the position of Grand Chief for eighteen years. In his opinion, if nothing else, his re-election is no problem, since his first two great chiefs, Tianxuan and the Han and Tang Dynasty have launched a series of economic and strategic cooperation, after nearly a hundred years of cooperation, the friendship between the two countries is very deep.
As the behemoth in the air slowly landed, the originally empty take-off and landing field was instantly filled.
The hatch slowly opened, and Avril Lavigne, dressed in a white princess dress trimmed with gold and wire, appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and in an instant, the photographers who had been waiting for a long time raised their cameras in their hands. As her personal bodyguard, Mei Aoxue only wore an ordinary black suit, no different from other security personnel, but she adjusted her body to the best state at the moment, and her strength was running calmly and vigorously in her body, sensing the movements around her.
"Uncle Montel, it's been a long time, you're getting stronger!"
Avril lifted the hem of her skirt slightly and said very ladylikely.
Obviously, her compliment made Monkel very happy, in this country that worships elephants, praising men for being fat and strong is the best praise, but don't praise people for being thin and stuff, that will really anger the other party, after all, each country has its own culture and customs, and Avril is naturally aware of this.
"Haha, Avril, you're getting more and more beautiful now, what's the matter, your little ** didn't come along! Tsk, I still want to see this youngest innate great martial artist in history. β
Monkel is a typical tribal man, although he is now the head of a country, his bold personality is still there, and he obviously knows about Avril and Jiang Wei.
"He had a lot of troubles over there, so I had to visit my uncle on my own."
"Haha, you have a fight with him, I don't know how many young people in the universe are going to cry. When the time comes, I'll be sure to eat the wine of the two of you. β
"Okay, uncle, don't worry, you must let him accompany you to have two drinks, he may have drunk."
The two talked while walking, and soon stepped into the special car that had been waiting for a long time next to them.
At the dinner held by Monkel, Avril made a short speech, expounding the origins of the two countries from a historical perspective, affirming the cooperation between the two countries over the past 100 years, and highly praising the breakthroughs made by the two countries in many fields during the years of Monkel's administration.
β¦β¦
After the dinner, Monkel ordered his guards to send Avril and others to the state guesthouse, and he returned to the study, sincerely happy for this little niece to find the other half, this should be the so-called match made in heaven, thinking about the children of his own family, his heart was helpless.
As the supreme ruler of a big country, he spends too little time with his children, let alone many friends, the only friend may be Andrea, the empress of the Han and Tang Empires, thinking of this strange woman who looks at the world, he secretly sighed in his heart, only she can understand himself best, and he has endured his long-cherished wish in his heart for many years, but he didn't expect to be broken by her last time....
"Tianxuan, it is not suitable for the implementation of the imperial system for the time being, the resistance is too great. Of course, if you are re-elected, the odds increase a lot, and of course, this is subject to the premise that you can't touch the interests of too many people. On the contrary, you have to give them more benefits for the time being, and then slowly figure it out later. β
Andrea's words rang in his ears all the time, thinking of the entangled interests in the country, he shook his head helplessly, although he knew that Andrea made sense, and knew that she was a good heart, but he couldn't do it, you know, now the elite interests in Tianxuan are too large, and they have endangered the livelihood of ordinary people, if you want the country to have long-term peace and stability, eliminating these hidden dangers is the right way.
While he was deep in thought, a man walked in,
"Big brother."
Monkel looked up and had a smile of surprise on his face,
"Second brother, where have you been these days?"
This man is none other than his own brother, the high priest of the Eastern Sage Tribe, Saninbe-Dando, forty-five years old this year, temporarily acting on his behalf to deal with a qiΔ matter within the Eastern Sage Tribe.
"I went on a trip to Conghar and met someone."
Monkel got up, poured him a cup of tea himself, and asked a little puzzled:
"See people? Who bothered my brother to go out in person? β
"Envoy of the Lionheart Empire."
"What."
The teacup in Monkel's hand fell to the ground in an instant, shattered, he looked at his brother angrily, Saninbei saw his brother's sharp eyes, slowly lowered his head, and the two fell silent.
"Do you know that by doing this, you are destroying the alliance between us and Han Tang?"
"I know."
Monkel snapped up and roared:
"I know what the hell you're thinking."
Saninbei took a long breath, and his eyes gradually became firm from the panic at the beginning to now,
"It doesn't matter what I think, but I know what you're thinking, big brother."
Hearing his inexplicable words, Monkel stared at him deadly,
"What was I thinking, what do you mean by that?"
"Big brother, I don't know what's wrong with you, in the past five years, you have been exploiting the welfare of the tribe, and many tribesmen have dissatisfied, and how can you propose this kind of civil rights bill to give those untouchables the right to run."
"The Civil Rights Act? Hmph, who told you that? β
"Big brother, big brother, do you really think that the other tribes can work together with you? I'm afraid that several other tribes already know about this civil rights bill. β
Hearing his words, Monkel's heart sank, he discussed with Fan Wuchen, the left minister, for a long time, ready to start political reform, give the people certain rights, and prepare for the tribal assembly at the end of the year, but he didn't expect to leak the news in advance, Fan Wuchen He absolutely trusted, so there is only one person left who knows about this matter, that is, Qin Muhui, the right minister, and he must have revealed the news in advance.
"So what? Just imagine, if the rights of the people at the bottom are not guaranteed at all, privileges are rampant everywhere, and the people are only oppressed, then who will develop national strength? Who builds the nation? Do you count on this group of powerful people? β
Now that he knew about it, Monkel simply said in a showdown.
"Big brother, I understand what you said, but you have touched the bottom line of this class."
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let me ask you, what is the matter with your contact with the people of the Lionheart Empire?"
Saninbei was silent for a long time, raised his head, and said firmly:
"Big brother, I know your character very well, I know that you are ready to change Tianxuan's system, right?"
Monkel snorted coldly, noncommittal.
"Change the system, you ascend the throne and become the emperor, I'm afraid I can only be an idle prince in my life like now, right?"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Looking at the furious Monkel, Saninbei smiled bitterly,
"Big brother, I'm sorry, I have my own ambitions, if you can be a good big chief, I can too! I don't want to spend my life in peace. I know very well that the Han and Tang Empires will not support me, so I can only settle for the second best thing and choose the Lionheart Empire. β
"Put P, we have been fighting with the Lionheart Empire for thousands of years, and hundreds of millions of clansmen have died in their hands, how can you be worthy of your ancestors and ancestors if you do this. Besides, even if it is changed to the imperial system, can't my seat be passed on to you? β
Hearing his words, Monkel couldn't bear it anymore, got up and roared angrily.
"Big brother, if I were in your position and said this to you, would you believe it? Before this throne, there is no kinship. β
Monkel looked at his beloved brother with a painful heart, and didn't know how to answer for a while. After a long time, he looked at the door, and his heart sank, and he said:
"It seems that you are ready, even the guards have been replaced."
"I'm sorry, big brother!"
Saninke's eyes flashed with scenes of childhood memories, the scene of Monkel teaching himself to ride a horse and teach him martial arts, the cigarette slowly burned out, burning his fingers, and suddenly pulled him back to reality, he clapped his hands gently, and suddenly two teams of heavily armed guards ran in.
"Aren't you afraid that your ancestors will blame you? The Sage also tolerates your nonsense? β
Monkel asked weakly as he looked at the guards who had entered the room. It was as if I understood something.
Saninbei shook his head, "Big brother, the old ancestor will not blame me, he is in retreat!" As for the Sage, have you forgotten? He himself represents the elite. β
Hearing this, Monkel was disheartened, his expression was very painful, the old ancestor naturally referred to the highest force of the family, their grandfather, the old martial saint Parada Dando. The sage refers to the new martial saint who is now sitting in the imperial capital, the Nanhong tribe - the king of Nanhong - Lian Qianbi, who is also his brother who worships his son, but he didn't expect that not only his own brother, but even the sworn brother who is in love with his siblings also gave up on himself.
His heart flashed with helplessness, full of loss, he did so much, not for the sake of this country, why did everyone only see the immediate benefits? At this moment, he finally fully understood Andrea's words, in the face of rights and interests, family and friendship are too small. Hate only hates himself, it's too naΓ―ve.
