[924] Political performance
The yin qi is diffused, forming a ghost fog road that slowly flutters in the Yuque Palace, winding around the beams and pillars, or white or green, gloomy and slightly weird.
In the flower garden in Tianyang Palace, the firefly mushroom planted bloomed purple flowers, emitting a faint fluorescent light in the mist.
On the main hall of Tianyang Palace, Na Fei Tianyan looked down at the tips of his shoes under the hem of his skirt, and seriously pondered.
Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother on the opposite side looked at each other and smiled, twisted the wrench on their thumb to themselves, and did not rush to urge Na Feitian, asking her to give an answer as soon as possible.
Around the throne of Xiao Shizhu and the Ghost Mother, Xun Xiang lit the sandalwood in the two jasper tower furnaces. A faint thin smoke rose, and the green smoke curled in Zhongchen Ruo brought hot tea, saluted Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, and did not forget to give Feitian a cup.
After a long time, Feitian, who was holding a mouthful of untasted teacup, shook his head again, stared at the heat in the cup and said slowly: "I have lived for thousands of years, and I have already had too much to ask for." I really don't know what I need. If the Nine Shadows King didn't have a place where he needed the effectiveness of Feitian, Feitian would like to go and live an ordinary life. Plant some thin fields and raise some beast souls. The sun rises and the sun sets. ”。
Speaking of this, Fei Tian's eyes were full of expectation, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve slightly.
Xiao Shizhu was slightly stunned, but looking at Fei Tian's expression, it seemed that the other party had already planned to go to the days under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums. So he didn't say anything anymore, beckoned to Qinglan, and said, "The award is not a heavenly ghost mansion, and the silver is one hundred taels." Let her go to our country to find a quiet place and live the quiet life she wants. ”。
When Qinglan nodded a few times, Fei Tian, who had put down the teacup, had already gotten up, knelt down to Xiao Shizhu again, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you Lord for your success." ”。
"If you want to thank me, don't bend your knees, to be a ghost citizen of our country, you must abide by the laws of our country, and start with this bad habit of kneeling. Xiao Shizhu leaned back on the throne and said to Fei Tian: "The Nine Shadows Kingdom don't want ghosts without bones. ”。
"Yes. Fei Tian answered, and hurriedly stood up.
Qinglan also walked to her side, and was about to take her away when Xiao Shizhu stopped her again and said, "Feitian, get ready." When I know what you can do, I will send you back to be an official at any time. ”。
"No. This time, Fei Tian didn't kneel down again, but after bowing slightly, he followed Qinglan out of the main hall.
"Don't you still believe her?" asked the ghost mother when she left, frowning at her husband.
Xiao Shizhu shook his head slowly, stared at the open door of the main hall, and said, "If I didn't believe her, I wouldn't have taken her in, and I would have called Lin Cong and Xuanjiao to assassinate her." It's just that I really don't know what to ask her to do. Since she yearns for a quiet life without fighting and fighting, let her live the longing day first. ”。
As soon as Xiao Shizhu's words came out, the ghost mother beside him was stunned for a few breaths.
She knew that although Feitian was made by Emperor Xudu, she was not in line with Emperor Xudu, and Feitian could pierce her heart with a golden hairpin, which showed her determination to part ways with the Northern Yin Dynasty. And the ghost mother also knows the ability of Feitian, at least she can be a consultant-like counselor doctor for Xiao Shizhu, and give advice to Xiao Shizhu.
Xiao Shizhu has always been thirsty for talent, but this time he didn't need to let such a ghost go, but let that non-day go to live a quiet life, which made the ghost mother seem to be a political performance.
"You won't be playing magnanimity, right?" Soon, the ghost mother, who was relieved from her stunned thoughts, said thoughtfully: "Let Feitian experience the life of my country first, so that she can completely put an end to her hope for the Northern Yin Dynasty?"
"Hahaha, is it necessary for me to do that?" Xiao Shizhu laughed happily a few times and said, "Then even if I enable her, I can let her experience what life is like in my country." I really think that whatever she is willing to do, as long as it is not illegal, let her go. It's all me, and I'm a god who can grant her wish once. ”。
The ghost mother still didn't believe it, tilted her head slightly to look at her husband, and asked, "It's that simple?"
Xiao Shizhu picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and nodded: "It's as simple as that." ”。
The ghost mother didn't say more, anyway, Xiao Shizhu had decided, so just do what he said. It's just that next, Xiao Shizhu is going to deal with Tu Yaoqing.
This thing is a ** annoyance.
After all, Tu Yaoqing is also Xiao Shizhu's concubine, and she gave birth to a son. It is also related to the alliance between the Qingqiu Fox Country and the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and once it is not handled well, it will affect the whole body.
But you can't help but deal with it, after all, Tu Yaoqing fell to death the little owner Xiao Fuyun, which is also Xiao Shizhu's flesh and blood.
If Xiao Shizhu is wide in and out to deal with this matter, so many sons and lords will not be able to fight in the future.
The Nine Shadows Kingdom doesn't have to face external enemies, and it can collapse from the inside.
"That's... What are you going to do with Tu Yaoqing's matter?"
Xiao Shizhu subconsciously clenched his fists, and the murderous aura in his eyes was full of murder, but he quickly regained his composure and slowly let go of the ten fingers of his hands.
"Well, this has to be dealt with. Xiao Shizhu nodded and said in a deep voice: "But I have thought about it calmly in the past few days, maybe at this time, I am still really performing." ”。
The ghost mother stood up, walked to the side and put the teacup on the desk, turned around again, and sat down next to Xiao Shizhu.
"What are you going to do?" asked the Ghost Mother again after sitting down.
Xiao Shizhu pondered for a moment and replied: "Judging from the current situation, I have to tell the world. Although Tu Yaoqing killed my daughter, but thinking of the hundred days of husband and wife, Tu Yaoqing and I have been married for several days, and the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is inescapable, and she will be punished for introspection and reform in solitary prison. But if you don't cut off her title, you can deprive her of her rights and keep all her food and clothing treatment. ”。
This is equivalent to saying that Tu Yaoqing is allowed to live a glorious and rich life in prison. Nothing has changed, except for the restriction of its scope of activity and rights.
This really surprised the ghost mother for a moment, after all, Tu Yaoqing was the culprit who killed Lord Weng, and such a punishment was too light.
But after thinking about it, such a smart ghost of the ghost people also felt reasonable, and it was not appropriate for Xiao Shizhu to deal with it like this.
In love, Xiao Shizhu will not kill his concubine soon, but he really has achieved a hundred days of grace as a husband and wife.
Yu Li, Xiao Shizhu can't kill Tu Yaoqing now.
That's not an ordinary female ghost, behind Tu Yaoqing is the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom. When the Nine Shadows Kingdom secretly arrested those Qingqiu Fox Kingdoms who ate inside and out, when the Nine Shadows Kingdom sent Ju Long and Dayi to Dongyingzhou to build various passes and fortifications, the most lacking thing for the Nine Shadows Kingdom was time.
If you don't kill Tu Yaoqing, you won't be forced to rebel against the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom. If the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom does not rebel, the Nine Shadows Kingdom will be able to gain more time to prepare for more things, and the ghost people of the Nine Shadows Kingdom will be able to die a few fewer in the future changes.
For his own sake, Xiao Shizhu could be furious and personally slashed Tu Yaoqing, who killed his daughter. Even if this female ghost has shared a bed with him.
But for the sake of the ghost people, he can't be so impulsive, and he can't be so reckless.
He clenched his fists again, and the green tendons on the back of his hands quietly appeared.
Even the green tendons on the forehead are a little raised.
"I'm not just going to do this, I'm going to reward the Qingqiu Fox King and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, and thank them for their heroic performance in battle as our vassals. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Shizhu, who gritted his teeth vigorously, said word by word.
His eyes reddened slightly as he said those words.
He was angry and aggrieved.
He is obviously high up and admired by all ghosts, but he can't do whatever he wants when he sits on the throne. Sometimes for the sake of higher interests, he can only swallow his anger.
This kind of thing has happened many times in the past, but what happened to him this time was the death of his daughter, and he could only swallow it.
Only in this way can Tu Yaoqing and these performances be used to contain the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.
In order to win benefits and time for the soldiers and ghost people of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
This kind of pain, Xiao Shizhu can only be buried deep in his heart and has been suppressed. If you are swayed and impulsive, it is really a trigger that affects the whole body.
But all of this was not what Xiao Shizhu wanted, so he said that these were performances, in order to win time, for the performances of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
"I still want to reward Hu Lan. He was recognized for his performance as an envoy of friendship and peace liaison between the two countries, and he was heavily commended. Xiao Shizhu clenched his hands even tighter, letting his fingertips sink deep into the flesh in his palm.
Seeing this, the ghost mother hurriedly reached out and gently broke open Xiao Shizhu's clenched ten fingers, and she had already seen the skin and flesh in her palm, and her heart twitched.
Holding Xiao Shizhu's hand, the ghost mother clearly felt that Xiao Shizhu was trembling. It wasn't that he was afraid, it was Xiao Shizhu's anger that made him tremble.
This made the ghost mother even more worried.
She suddenly had the idea of no longer fighting, to his world, to his peace, the ghost mother only wanted her husband to be happy and safe at this moment.
But when they think about it, where can they go? The place where they enter and leave the underworld is still on the territory of the Emperor Xudu. And the Emperor Xudu will not let them leave the Netherworld alive.
This made the ghost mother feel distressed, but she still nodded, agreed with Xiao Shizhu's approach, and said: "Stabilizing the performance of the Qingqiu Fox Country is indeed a good move." ”。
Xiao Shizhu was silent, and there was murderous aura in his eyes.
He has already planned to endure the humiliation for a while, and in the future, he must return it to the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.
Xiao Shizhu stood up, bringing up a gust of yin wind, blowing the curtains in the main hall to hunt.
"The strength that I have accumulated for hundreds or even thousands of years in the Nine Shadows Country, and the whole people are united, and we are bound to create a better future. It is like an eagle flying high with wings, unstoppable, but it has to compromise a small Qingqiu Fox Country. Xiao Shizhu lowered his voice, but his anger was difficult to contain, and he flicked his sleeves and said, "But what can I do, what can I do." Even the death of my own daughter, I have to deal with it carefully, and I have to perform against my will for everything, what kind of bullshit trick!"
The ghost mother behind her looked at her husband's grievances and sighed lightly, she was also so helpless.
can be helpless, aggrieved is aggrieved, she and Xiao Shizhu both know that such a political performance is indispensable. And to act really, without the slightest act of acting, it must reach the point where future generations of historians can only speculate and speculate on this matter, and there is no real evidence, so as to truly confuse the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.
Therefore, we can only be helpless and aggrieved.
"Then do you want to secretly give the moon girl a secret account first?" After the sigh landed, the ghost mother asked a little worriedly: "I'm a little afraid, if she doesn't know, she won't be able to stand this blow." ”。
