Chapter 791: The United Kingdom of Boni and Dongning
The inheritance of incense is the most important custom for the Xia people, just as the island people value the inheritance of family names, even in modern times, there are still many old people who insist on this.
The so-called glory of the ancestors, the return of glory to the hometown, and the return of brocade clothes to the hometown are all idioms born because of this traditional customs and concepts.
This act by the Zheng clan greatly increased the sense of identity in the minds of the people of the newly annexed regions of the Dongning Kingdom. What people in modern society are most afraid of is not poverty, but that they are afraid that they will not even have the direction of their efforts and will lose the channel to rise.
In a new country like the Kingdom of Dongning, there are obviously a lot of opportunities for people to improve their quality of life and social class through hard work, on the contrary, similar to the island country, which has been solidified and even rigid in class, not only in the eyes of the aging population, but also in the eyes of various social contradictions, it is a headache.
This is also a country and nation that has inherited the Eastern civilization of Middle-earth, and it is easier for people to accept control than people from other civilizations, otherwise it would be a multi-ethnic immigrant country like Bald Eagle, and it is estimated that they would have fought too much freedom.
Therefore, after catching a missile and setting off fireworks, the government was also dumbfounded, and among the remaining two countries related to this, Ma Lajia just said a few tough words, and then saw that the situation was not good and temporarily retracted his head, and the royal family of Bo Ni also chose to ease the way and negotiate with Dongning to compromise, and strive to reap some benefits for themselves in the established facts.
After some negotiations and consultations with the Kingdom of Tung Ninh, the kings and cabinets of the two sides officially announced the declaration of the formation of the United Kingdom on behalf of the country and the government respectively.
Gao Jingfei, who watched all this, also shook his head and sighed:
"I have to say that the old king of Bo Ni is really very shrewd, although after forming the United Kingdom with our Dongning Kingdom, the Bo Ni Kingdom seems to have swallowed its anger and suffered losses, but in fact, except for some gossip, Bo Ni has only gained benefits and no harm."
Zheng Zhixuan said with a smile: "The biggest advantage is that once the United Kingdom is established, then the royal family of Boni can be said to have realized the grand plan of their ancestors, not only recovering the land that was lost, but also nominally unifying Bonizhou Island." ”
"In addition, the practical advantage is that you can continue to follow the convenience of Zheng's international trade network and financial system, and you can make a lot of money with free riding."
"In contrast, that reputation issue is not a problem at all."
Gao Jingfei felt that compared with the old fox in this kind of political circle, his behavior of cutting leeks was still far worse! Of course, he doesn't plan to develop in politics, so he can be his own mascot with peace of mind.
That's right, he positioned himself as the fiancé of the crown prince of Dongning and the future county lord of honor and the prince's husband, and positioned himself as just a mascot, and he would not participate in the political affairs of the country or even the king.
Of course, Zheng Zhixuan had already understood Gao Jingfei's thoughts, and smiled at him and said:
"Don't worry, when I ascend the throne, I will hand over most of the political affairs to the cabinet and the six ministries and nine secretaries to be responsible, anyway, isn't what they yearn for the most is a constitutional monarchy? Let's also be a carefree couple for decades, and then we will live in seclusion and hand over the country to future generations to govern! ”
……
There were two other people who also watched the game and compromise between the two countries.
That's what led Mrs. M and her adopted son, James Burton, the legendary agent Ling Lingqi.
In fact, the current situation of the two kings co-ruling the island of Bonizhou was really reached under the guidance of the Britannes.
At first, the royal family did not think of forming a United Kingdom with Dongning, but Mrs. M asked her own people in the diplomatic system to send words to the old king cryptically.
The royal family was opposed at first, but the old king immediately thought of the benefits of doing so for him and the royal family.
Seeing that the wow mud tin was unreliable, the Zheng family showed great strength again, and the old king, who was originally very repulsive to catch the wow mud tin in his heart, decided to compromise with the Dongning Zheng family.
In addition to continuing to make money with the help of the Zheng family's commercial network and financial system, and reuniting with the Zheng family, the new Boni Kingdom would nominally expand tens of thousands of square kilometers of territory (Dongning territory) and rule the entire island, and there would be no chance for his descendants to acquire these lands in the future.
In addition to losing face, everything else is basically profit!
With interests in front, what is that little face? Their mud kingdom is not the kind of world power, as long as they get benefits, who cares about a little worthless face?
So the king and the great chief of the Boni Kingdom, after some serious consideration, chose to compromise.
Of course, there is also the effect of the wind blowing in the ears of the chief of the inner court, which is also the result of Gao Jingfei's second shot after returning from the misty world.
Under the temptation of being reborn as a real man, Mora, the ruler of the court, who was no longer short of money and power, found a new direction in life.
Rebelled against this childhood friend who had served the old king all his life, and things would naturally be much easier.
He had a thorough understanding of the old king's temperament, and naturally knew when to say what to say, so as to achieve his goal without arousing the old king's suspicion and disgust.
In addition, this choice is also very beneficial to the royal family, so the negotiations can be pushed forward so quickly.
This kind of thing is not something that any person can do, and it is so traceless and so natural. Otherwise, there are so many people in the world, and there will not be only so many courtiers in history who are fortunate to leave their names in the history books!
According to the comments of some netizens on the Internet, the kung fu of sycophants is generally divided into three classes.
Inferior is the kind of strong shot with obvious traces, when the superior is in a good mood, such a sycophant is of course happy to accept, but once the mood is bad, then it will be photographed on the horse's hooves.
The middle one is similar to the kind that He Shen patted Qianlong and Liu Jin patted Zhengde, the former understood the old man's heart, knew how to win the favor of the old man, and also had a handsome face, so he could naturally win Qianlong's favor. But this set will not work on Jiaqing, so He Shen finally ended up giving death to the family.
The latter watched Zhengde grow up since he was a child, knew the temper of the bear child, and learned to follow the hair, so he could wait for Zhengde comfortably, but Liu Jin was too arrogant outside, and for the sake of the country and the imperial power, he had to be pushed out to calm the resentment of the people in the world. Of course, in the end, Zhengde also went too far, and finally fell into the water and died, and he didn't even have any heirs.
As for the best sycophancy kung fu, it is Dongfang Shuo who patted Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, although the witty Dongfang Shuo is witty and humorous, but he understands the truth in his work, and can make Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty change his orders, but he does not leave a pimple in the emperor's heart, and he still occupies morality and righteousness, no one can say anything bad, and there is no position to denounce him as a traitor.
In the end, Dongfang Shuo drifted away, excluding its various magical legends, not to mention it, just from the wisdom of its life is worthy of praise, it can be said that in the history of Middle-earth with the king like a tiger with the feudal court, it is a rare emperor's favored minister who has received a good death.
For example, Wu Zixu, Li Si, and Han Xin, who do not know how to advance or retreat, or historical celebrities who know that they are very dangerous but do not want to retreat because of their ideals and pride, are far worse than Dongfang Shuo in this regard.
Gao Jingfei felt that at least he couldn't involve his family in vain for his ideals and persistence!
