Although this series of price codes sounds really very tempting, Li Tai also understands that unless he has a bad head, he can't agree to cooperate with Hou Jing no matter what.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of what Wei Ding said before, could this be the so-called hidden robbery in the middle of the fortune? Whether it is luck or not is not said for the time being, but the robbery is obvious.

So for the sugar-coated cannonball sent by Hou Jing, he accepted the sugar-coated cannonball, and as for the cannonball, he still had to return it.

So then he solemnly refused Hou Jing's solicitation, and under Zhao Sixian's repeated pleas, he ordered him to be led down the court, and sent his party back according to the previous route.

As for the personnel and goods sent by Hou Jing, of course Li Tai wanted to stay unceremoniously. But it's not because he's greedy, what should be taken and what shouldn't be collected, he also knows it very well in his heart.

The powerful people in Handong, Shannan and other places gave him gifts worth hundreds of thousands of silks, and he could accept them without any psychological burden. But the gift from Hou Jing is really poisonous.

Even if Li Tai stayed, he didn't take it for his own use, he asked people to pack up all the money and goods and send them to Guanzhong, and at the same time he also wrote a letter to explain the matter carefully, including the fact that Hou Jing wanted to make him the king of Qin.

If it is said that the hegemon has given him great autonomy to take charge of military and political affairs in the southeast, then not engaging in some private contacts and transactions with such foreign forces should be one of the principles that he needs to abide by. Including the interaction with the kings of Nanliang, Li Tai also had to prepare detailed information afterwards to explain the process, purpose, and results of the exchanges.

Of course, reporting this matter is also to let Yu Wentai see the gap between himself and Hou Jing. Even if it's just a blank check, Hou Jing is much more bold than him, a stinky black otter.

Li Tai doesn't expect Yu Wentai to immediately give himself much fame and power promotion, in short, you remember this matter, how much temptation Lao Tzu has rejected for you and for our team!

You pillar countries have five or six individuals, and no one outside the country has opened such a huge bargaining chip to lure you, right? From now on, see that I am more upright, don't put a shelf on me! In the future, when the old guys explode the gold coins, how much Lao Tzu can share, this matter is also an important reference indicator!

As for the Southern Dynasty women sent by Zhao Sixian, Li Tai was told that the Lady of the Inner Mansion had brought these Southern Dynasty women into the Inner Mansion before he could explain how to arrange them.

After learning of this, Li Tai also stood up and went to the inner house, and before entering the door of the inner hall, he heard many sad sobs from the hall, and these women of the Southern Dynasty stood in the hall with sad expressions one by one.

In the upper seat of the inner hall, Miaoyin Niangzi stood there with one hand on her waist and one hand on her fist, her little face was tense and her expression was serious, and she was stomping her feet and saying angrily: "It's really hateful! It's time to kill them all......"

At this time, Li Tai stepped into the hall, and when Miao Yin saw his husband's figure, he looked a little nervous and embarrassed, and hurriedly lowered his hands and stepped forward: "The affairs of the husband's front hall have been handled?" ”

Li Tai smiled, and then raised his hand to point at the women of the Southern Dynasty who hurriedly bowed, and looked at his wife with curiosity.

Miao Yin was a little uncomfortable by this look, twisted the fingers of her hands in front of her, lowered her head and whispered: "I have often heard that women in the south have outstanding upbringing, and their customs are different from those of the northerners. So the concubine summoned the inner hall to see ......"

Li Tai smiled again when he heard this, and then asked, "That lady can see the difference between each other?" ”

Hearing this, Miaoyin sighed again, looked up at these frightened and deeply worshiped women of the Southern Dynasty, her face showed a lot of sympathy, and she said: "I just listened to their life experiences, and why they came to Jingzhou, I heard that people were sad and resentful, it turned out that their life experiences were all very miserable, the rebel army in Jiangnan killed all their parents and relatives, and they had to force them to be married to the sergeants who had a broken family, and many ladies were killed by the rebel army......"

This little lady is also quite emotional, and when she talks about the sad life experiences of these women in the Southern Dynasties, her eyes have become red.

She has her father's care at home, and her husband cares for her when she marries, and she rarely hears such a tragic story in the world, and her mood can't help but be greatly impacted. ”

Li Tai raised his hand and grabbed the lady's still trembling shoulders, and sneered as he walked to the seat: "These rebels only dare to make trouble in weak and unprepared places, if they dare to enter my realm, it is self-defeating!" ”

When Miao Yin heard this, her face was immediately filled with pride, and she was still a little worried about the miserable life experiences of these women of the Southern Dynasties, and sighed in her mouth: "Since they have come to our Jingzhou, they will never suffer from those hardships again." But there are no fathers, brothers and relatives to rely on, how does the husband plan to place them? ”

Soon after these Southern Dynasty women entered the palace, the lady summoned them to meet each other, thinking that they had quite a proposition. As you see it, how should it be placed? ”

Li Tai lowered his eyes to look at the little lady's slightly tentative eyes, and asked with a smile.

"I don't know, my heart is very ......"

When Miao Yin heard this, she shook her head a little depressed, and then sighed: "I summoned them to the inner mansion because I was so angry in my heart, and I wanted to see how good these southern women were?" But when I heard that their lives were miserable, I also felt sad in my heart, what else did I compare?

I know that they are the maidservants given to the husband by outsiders, and the husband wants to stay, and the family is not without a house to settle in. The husband may have pity and preference for them, but he can't mess with my housekeeping rules! They have a pitiful background, but it is not caused by my persecution, it is okay to sympathize with them, but if they are pampered and arrogant, they will be punished! ”

Seeing the aggrieved, stubborn, sympathetic, and complex expression of this little lady, Li Tai stroked her smooth forehead dotingly and smiled: "Don't stay, don't leave any of them!" ”

When Miao Yin heard this, a few hints of surprise flashed on her face, and she whispered again: "Did the husband stay because I was jealous?" Will you say it in your mouth and complain in your heart? If the husband is no longer willing to tell me about his heart because of this, then it is better to keep them! ”

Seeing this lady's anxious and tangled appearance, Li Tai waved his hand and ordered these Southern Dynasty women to be led to other rooms to settle down and rest temporarily, and then held this lady in front of his arms, and then said: "These women are all entered by the chaotic army, taking people as goods, and trying to bribe me with this." If I take in the house, I will be recruiting the evil deeds that Hou Jing's rebellious army has done on them, and I will resent the southerners.

As the lady said, their miserable life is not caused by me, and it is only human nature to have pity, so there is no need to complain. So I decided a long time ago to send these women to Gangneung, it is best for them to have relatives to go to, even if they don't, they have their own Gangneung shelter and placement, and they don't have to be alone and helpless in a foreign country. ”

"Fu Lang is really a kind and pure gentleman!"

When Miao Yin heard this, she hugged Li Tai's arm and praised it again and again, and the previous entanglement was gone, and she said with some embarrassment: "I asked people to bring them in, but I didn't think of anything more educated, but it sounds good." I'm just worried that they will stay at home and not leave, and I want to intimidate them to let them know that I am not cowardly and easy to deceive, but after listening to their stories, I can't bear it......"

Li Tai knew what this little lady was thinking, and when he heard her confess to himself, he laughed again: "My lady is a first-class upbringing, but she doesn't have to find anyone to compare." Even though other good sisters are beautiful and gentle, they have their own belongings. Only this beautiful woman in front of me is the treasure in my door! ”

When Miaoyin heard this, she suddenly burst into flames again, put her face on Li Tai's chest and smiled for a while, before she raised her head again and said, "Then I want to prepare some money and silk gifts for these women, so that they can have something to do when they go to Gangneung, is it okay?" ”

"Of course you can, but it doesn't have to be too much. The world is chaotic, and Gangneung may not be a happy land, and lonely and weak women are carrying heavy goods, but they are easy to be robbed. ”

After Li Tai heard this, he smiled and said that his wife was innocent and wanted to help these women out of sympathy, but his mind was a little impure.

Raiding Gangneung should not only be a purely military action, but also an aspect of creating a good image for yourself to gain more recognition.

The turmoil of the Northern and Southern Dynasties lasted for so many years, in fact, all kinds of contradictions in the Later Three Kingdoms period had accumulated to an extreme, and the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Liang Dynasty ushered in a major outbreak one after another. If the people in the present do not have the ability to predict, no one can imagine that they will be able to complete the great unification in just a few decades!

In the end, what is needed in a time of great turmoil for such a long time is not a simple military strongman, but a ruler who can coordinate and unite all parties and strive to bridge the gaps.

Therefore, the interaction between Li Tai and Gangneung was not limited to military intimidation, and some personnel exchanges were being carried out one after another. For example, the envoy sent by Jiangling this time, except for the envoy who was appointed by Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong, the other servants were mostly members of the Jiangling clan.
