Flower Fairy's Tribulation

The next day Cheng Youdi came back from his hometown in Wujia City. He completed the engagement ceremony with Guo Yan, the niece of Guo Ruyu, the concubine of Li Shun, Prince Jian of the Li family of Wuzhen Kingdom, and the second daughter of Guo Yi, the mayor of Wujia City.

When the classmates asked him about the details, Cheng Youdi said calmly: "When my second aunt and my family returned to Wujia City, the clan had almost made preparations. Within a few days, the ceremony was held with great fanfare and festoons. Here we come. Needless to say, many annoying dignitaries, Prince Li Shun of Jian, and the entire family of Guo Yi, the mayor of the imperial capital Wujia City, were present, and His Majesty Li Mingxing, the Emperor of Wu Zhen Kingdom, was also present."

"My father, Shi Heng, was conferred the title of Marquis of Jinzhuan and received a prestigious hereditary title. He also held the military position of deputy commander of the Wujia City garrison. My fiancée Guo Yan was also canonized as Princess Huarui at the ceremony and enjoys The treatment of children of relatives of the Li family..."

Hua Yueying said: "You are from a clan with the surname Li. On the same day, you were awarded two prestigious titles. This is a triple blessing, and the glory cannot be greater. It can be seen that the Li royal family attaches great importance to you, the BRIC clan!"

Cheng Youdi smiled bitterly and said: "Well! That's because we are superior in strength, and the Li royal family needs our strong support! It is an open secret that Wu Zhenguo secretly supported Wu Shengguo and the Holy Spirit to fight against each other. Wu Shengguo was newly defeated, and Wu Zhenguo still took care of himself. The Holy Spirit Society is naturally indignant for sheltering a large number of Wu Shengguo's old and young children who are against the Holy Spirit Society, and it is inevitable that they will have to settle accounts in the future. The Li family is on pins and needles. They urgently need the full support of a wealthy and influential family like us, so they took the initiative to ask us An olive branch was extended.”

"My father received the hereditary marquis, and while the BRIC clan was shining brightly, he also received the military post of deputy commander of the garrison. This means that our family has completely joined the political and military group of the Li family of Wu Zhen Kingdom. If a catastrophe breaks out, In a large-scale military conflict, we, the BRICS, must contribute at all costs! So it is a blessing in disguise, and it is not a disaster!"

Everyone understood clearly and knew that this kind of political marriage was actually an exchange of benefits for each of them to get what they needed. On the outside, it seemed to have unlimited glory, but in essence, what was gained was roughly equal to what was given. It was not worthy of universal celebration, and judging from Cheng Youdi's indifferent expression , seems very indifferent to such a big event, and has no joy at all.

Lin Chenzhong said: "The same is true for the seven original clans of Wu Sheng Kingdom. They gave their full support to the Jiang royal family, and the Jiang royal family reciprocated and gave them supreme honor and status. This is true in every country!"

Liu Yiyi said: "There is no free lunch in the world. The hereditary marquis of your family is completely bound to the Li family and his status is becoming more and more prominent, but he must also pay some price for his military position. This is reasonable and reasonable. If you gain something, you will lose it!"

Cheng Youdi nodded in approval and said, "It's this kind of exchange of interests!"

Lin Chenzhong said: "Don't you have any other choice?"

Cheng Youdi said: "Wu Sheng's country was newly destroyed, and the largest power group that challenged the Holy Spirit Society was eliminated. The Holy Spirit Army showed its majesty and momentum, and it has the potential to comprehensively crush and liquidate the dissident clans in the seven countries in the south. We, the BRICs, and the Holy Spirit Society They have never been very harmonious."

"To prepare for a rainy day, there are three ways to go before the BRIC clan: First, completely bind with the Li royal family, stick together for warmth, and rely on the strength of the country to protect themselves; second, completely separate the Li royal family and turn to the Holy Spirit will; thirdly, adopt a fence-sitting policy, neither joining the Li Royal Family Group nor turning to the Holy Spirit Society, in order to protect themselves."

Zhang Ying said: "The power of the Holy Spirit Society is now strong enough to crush all the countries in the south. It is at the height of its power and is arrogant. What if you take the second path and seek refuge with the strong? Is it a common practice to form an alliance with the strong to protect yourself?"

Cheng Youdi shook his head and said, "It won't work!"

Wu Qianshou asked: "Why?"

Cheng Youdi said: "You don't know that the Bricks clan and the Li royal family had a marriage relationship. For example, my grandma was a princess from the Li royal family, but she passed away many years ago. In addition, my father deliberately maintained a relationship with them in recent decades. Because of the distance, the relationship has become more distant."

"But our BRIC family's tendency to protect the Li family is well-known and has historical origins. This label is difficult to remove. If we don't take the first path and take the second path, after all, we are related by blood, the Holy Spirit may not Believe that we can break away from the Li royal family, even if we accept our defection to them, we must send a huge certificate of surrender to make the trip. This means that we must completely break with the Li royal family, and the BRIC family will be labeled as ungrateful and ungrateful by the world. The label of betraying the country and seeking glory is an unbearable consequence for us!”

"In this way, we will inevitably be hostile and liquidated by the Li Royal Family. The Holy Spirit Society may not fully protect us. Instead, it may sacrifice us and push us to the front line of direct confrontation with the Li Royal Family. We will become pawns and cannon fodder! So! This is a dead end, there is no way to go."

Liu Yiyi said: "With the insidiousness and cunningness of the Holy Spirit Society, the situation you mentioned is very likely to happen, so turning to the Holy Spirit would be a bad idea and absolutely not feasible."

Everyone nodded in approval.

Wu Qianshou said: "Young Master, what if you don't ally with the Li family and don't fall to the Holy Spirit Society? If you take the third path and don't choose sides or teams, won't the BRICs be able to avoid being enemies with both sides? ?”

Cheng Youdi shook his head and said: "Childish! This is even more unfeasible!"

Wu Qianshou was stunned, and Lin Chenzhong was also puzzled, saying, "Why? You remain neutral and don't provoke anyone on either side. Why can't you just close the door and live your life by yourself?"

Liu Yiyi said sarcastically: "You two stupid heads, political idiots! Let me explain it to you and consecrate it to you!"

Wu Qianshou and Lin Chenzhong looked at Liu Yiyi in astonishment and said, "What is your opinion? Tell me!"

Liu Yiyi said: "Being neutral means being able to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers. Such an identity needs to be recognized. For an important family like BRIC, he is not just wishful thinking and can be neutral if he wants to!"

Lin Chenzhong asked: "Why? Could it be that if the BRIC clan wants to remain neutral, it must be approved by both the Li family and the Holy Spirit Society at the same time?"

Liu Yiyi said: "That's right! The crack in Yu Mu's head has opened up."

Wu Qianshou said in confusion: "I am a stone-headed person, and I don't understand. Why?"

Liu Yiyi said: "You stupid turtle! The young master has already said that the BRIC family and the Li royal family have a long history. They can break the bones and connect the tendons. Even if the relationship is lukewarm, they cannot completely cut it off. This is the first .”

"Secondly, the BRIC Clan is a powerful family in the Wuzhen Kingdom. Their assets are all over the continent. They are as rich as any other country. They have over a thousand elven warriors at all levels and are very powerful. If the Li family wants to avoid being liquidated by the Holy Spirit like the Jiang family in the Wu Sheng state, it must To expand his strength as much as possible, he urgently needs the support of big clans like the BRICs. Will he allow old allies like the BRICs to cut themselves off and remain neutral and cut off his own arms? If you think about it, will the Li royal family believe that the BRICs are neutral? In order to fall to the Holy Spirit Church, isn’t it to prepare for embracing the thick legs of the Holy Spirit Church?”

"Third, how can the Holy Spirit believe that the BRICs can categorically cut off from the Li Royal Family and remain neutral? I'm just talking in my sleep. No one would believe it even if the BRICs did it, and I don't believe it either!"

"Fourth, the Li family will definitely not allow the BRIC family to cut off from them and lose this important supporting force; the Holy Spirit will absolutely find it difficult to believe that the BRIC family can separate from the Li family. These are two basic trends that cannot be changed. If the Brick clan insists on going its own way, they will face the embarrassing situation of being hated by the Li royal family and not being trusted by the Holy Spirit Society."

"The relationship between the BRICs and the Holy Spirit Society has always been bad. If they have a bad relationship with the Li Royal Family, it is very likely that the Holy Spirit will add insult to injury and take advantage of the situation and liquidate them in advance. On the contrary, if the BRICs turn to the Holy Spirit Society, they will also be hated and liquidated by the Li Royal Family. So , the third way is to sit on the neutral fence, not only cannot be alone, but will push the BRICs to confront the Li Royal Family and the Holy Spirit Society at the same time. They will be suspected by both sides, and even target and attack from both sides. This is a dead end. !”

"So we have to take the first path, continue the family tradition and be completely bound to the Li family, and then we can rely on the power of the country to protect ourselves. This is the only way to survive!"

Liu Yiyi's analysis was well-founded and every word was sonorous and powerful. Lin Chenzhong and Wu Qianshou admired her greatly.

Cheng Youdi said: "My father said that the seven major clans of the Wu Sheng Kingdom tried to protect the Jiang family from being exterminated by the Holy Spirit Army. However, they suffered a fatal blow but became a group hero who was loyal and loyal in the eyes of people and was highly respected. Now many clans in the Elf Continent are willing to bear the consequences. This is the reason why the Holy Spirit Society protects the poor old and young children of the seven major clans. For example, my father-in-law’s Guo family is willing to take risks to protect Yang Daiding and others from the Golden Gun Clan in Xigu City. Jiang Huiteng lives on his last breath and regards thieves as his father. He is mercilessly reviled by the world, and even his personality is Everything is lost! Weighing the pros and cons, we BRICs would rather learn from the sufferings of the seven respected clans than learn from the weakling Jiang Huiteng that is reviled by the world!"

Liu Yiyi said: "Young Master, it is definitely a far-sighted and benevolent approach to bind the BRIC clan to the Li family in crisis instead of cutting them off. It will do more good than harm to you in the long run!"

Cheng Youdi gave Liu Yiyi a thumbs up and said in approval: "Yiyi, your political vision is very sharp, your sense of smell is very keen, and your ideas are very correct! Your analysis is exactly the same as what my father said! If my father hears your conclusion, he will definitely I will look up to you!"

Liu Yiyi said proudly: "This girl is always smart and will never be confused in the face of big events."

Hua Yueying said: "What Yiyi said makes sense. Neutral fence-sitting is actually putting yourself in the gap between the two hostile parties. You want to have both sides, but it is not pleasing to both sides. If you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, you may actually be targeted by both enemies at the same time. It is very dangerous. He may be seeking his own death! Especially for a big clan like the BRIC clan, a big tree attracts the wind, and the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. His desire to remain neutral is completely wishful thinking and wishful thinking, and it is impossible to achieve in reality!"

Zhang Ying said: "Shu Da Zhao Feng is right! Although the Brick Clan is not as powerful as the powerful Bear Clan and the Fiery Canglang Clan of the former Wusheng Kingdom in the continent, it is definitely a very important existence in Wuzhen. They must be affected by the general environment and either follow the east wind or follow the west wind, and cannot remain independent!"

"On the other hand, our Seven Star clan has gone from a large clan of thousands to a small family with only a handful of people. We are left with only a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled. Apart from the women and children, there are only more than 20 men left. We are so weak that we are like nothing. No one cares about us. All forces are dismissive of us, and even the Holy Spirit Society, which has a feud with us, turns a blind eye to us and is too lazy to deal with us. In other words, our extreme weakness has become our advantage in escaping from the political whirlpool. In this chaotic world , what a surprise!”

Cheng Youdi frowned and said, "I envy you Seven Stars for being able to stay out of it! I'm really annoyed by politics, but I have to get involved in it. It's really annoying!"

Wu Qianshou smiled and said: "Young Master, a poor man cannot understand the troubles of your aristocratic son, but I want nothing more than the things you hate!"

Liu Yiyi said with a smile: "The little paste in your head is not enough to paste a couplet on the wall during the New Year! You still want to get involved in politics. I really don't know if you are a little bastard or a big weight. I am laughing so hard. !”

Wu Qianshou said: "You don't understand, I don't want to get involved, I want to envy you! Can't you just be envious?"
