Born short-lived
Chapter 22
In fact, Dong Sheng was also a bit uncertain, the letter from Zhou Zirong had arrived, and if Wendell wanted to coerce Silan, the news should have arrived by this time.
So I heard Aldan add another sentence; "But it should be soon, they said that the messenger is already on the way."
Wendell had a reason to coerce Silan. Although Tianhe State belonged to Hua Xu, the black flag was also manipulated by Da Ling to some extent.
When the world was in turmoil, Xiyang captured Silan and approached Huaxu's southern border.Later, when the war ceased fire and the Quartet Federation was established, the Westerners had no choice but to withdraw their troops from Sri Lanka because of Huaxu's growing power, but bought a gun for this country with ulterior motives.
When the Westerners controlled Sri Lanka, they gave the southern military power to the Black Banner tribe who had been oppressed by the Sri Lankan government. Even if they left, the Black Banner tribe was unwilling to hand over the army obediently.
At that time, the relationship between Xiyang and Daling was so good that he wanted to wear a pair of trousers, and Daling's national power was stronger than that of Western countries, so the benefits of Xiyang were very rudely borrowed by Daling.
Although Daling has not officially stationed in Slan yet, the black flag has also invisibly stood on Daling's side—of course, Daling must be biting to death verbally for this "ally" who has a bad name. of.
And considering that if it is found out that Slan is involved in the disaster in the East China Sea, then the friendship with Hua Xu for many years may not be guaranteed, and they will have nothing to rely on except Da Ling.
In addition, although Silan has not admitted it these years, everyone knows that they are selling black oil to Da Ling.
To talk about reselling black oil, we have to start with Aldan's father, the old King Saru.Since the founding of Huaxu, the successive kings of Slan have been shy and hugging their thighs until Saru's generation changed.
The old king, who spent his whole life living in idleness and eating and waiting to die, suddenly made a embarrassing decision when he was almost dying-sell the black oil to Hua Xu's invisible rival, Da Ling.
Firstly, this old prodigal son almost wiped out the national treasury, and Silan happened to have extremely rich reserves of black oil. Secondly, he didn't know where he didn't want to exploit it. He suddenly felt that he had to have a little bit of backbone and couldn't be subject to Hua Xu's all the time. Grace, secretly sold the black oil of Slan to Daling, the suzerain of the Four-Party Federation.
By the time Aldan succeeded to the throne, the interests of the black oil trade had already become deeply entrenched and intertwined.And as soon as he came to power, the three big fires of restricting mining, encouraging factory processing, and state-owned mines burned. Many old rich men who mined gemstones went bankrupt and smashed the jobs of countless nobles in the palace.
Moreover, the benefits of black oil are too great, even if he intends to suppress them, he can't force those nobles to be too miserable all at once. After several assassinations, he understands what it means to jump over the wall in a hurry, so he doesn't dare to deal with the black oil business in a hurry It's over.
Besides, now that the New Deal has just started, and profits have not yet risen, the country's main source of income has become the export of black oil.Black oil itself is expensive, and those iron guys in Daling consume a lot of oil, and no matter how you say it, black oil is not strictly a mine, which gave Aldan enough funds for reform.
Right now, the son who has been cheated by his father will probably know how cheated his father is soon.
Dong Sheng added a glass of wine for himself, and said quietly; "Speaking of which, there is one thing I have been wanting to ask for advice, but I just think it's not appropriate for an outsider like me to ask."
"The envoy said it's okay."
Dong Sheng lowered his eyes, and tapped the rim of the cup in his hand; "Your Majesty and His Royal Highness are siblings, so why are they at odds?"
Aldan's expression turned serious when he heard the words, and he said with a smile, "This is my family matter, why should the envoy ask about it? I don't need the envoy to worry about what happened to me and my younger brother."
Dong Sheng smiled and said, "I'm talking too much."
The two of them were watching the show downstairs, which can be called no evil, and at the same time they were shooting each other openly and secretly. At first, they thought they would just chat for a while, waiting for Aldan to see which girl he liked. When Furong Zhang Nuan spends the spring night, the dinner will be over.
However, what does it mean to say that Cao Cao has arrived? Dong Sheng finally understood when he lived to this day. He had just finished mentioning the news of the Quartet Federation on the front foot, and Ajiaxi sent someone to call him out in a hurry, saying that there was news for him. You have to see it for yourself immediately.
When thinking about it later, Dong Sheng felt that his tongue might be stained with fairy spirit that day, and God helped him to find bad luck for Aldan.
Sure enough, after Aldan went out for a while, Dong Sheng heard the sound of a table being thrown, followed by Aldan's roar like a mountain roaring and a tsunami.
Dong Sheng rubbed his ears that were so shocked that they were even a little numb, and he probably knew it in his heart.
Wendell's method can only threaten Aldan's father, and it can only be counterproductive to threaten Aldan, a man with a higher heart than the sky.
There was a lot of noise on the other side, and when they finally calmed down, Dong Sheng was almost drinking a whole pot of wine for himself.
The door was violently pushed open, Aldan's face was as dark as a pan, Prince Acacia had probably left, leaving only the frightened attendants lying on the ground beside Aldan.
Aldan walked towards him without saying a word, sat down on the mat angrily, and didn't speak. He grabbed the hip flask and was about to pour it for himself, but he didn't know that the wine in the hip flask had been taken by the alcoholic Dong Sheng. He almost licked it clean, and he was so angry that he slammed the flagon on the door.
"What is your majesty so angry about?" Dong Sheng smiled unkindly in his heart, with a concerned look on his face, "What does your majesty think of King Daling's invitation?"
As soon as Aldan heard it, he was about to explode again, and squeezed the cup out of shape in his hands, suppressing his anger, and snorted coldly, "What do I mean, what does it matter to you?"
"Your Majesty should think twice about the matter of the garrison." Dong Sheng continued to fan the flames, as if he was afraid that Aldan would not be angry.
Aldan was almost staring open, restraining the roar stuck in his throat, and said viciously; "It's getting late, the envoy should go back to rest earlier, or else he will get drunk and stumble when he goes back."
"Oh? Then won't your majesty go with you?" Dong Sheng asked knowingly.
"I still have my fun to find, you go in my carriage."
"Then...does His Majesty want to stay here overnight?"
Aldan finally roared unbearably; "Slow down!"
Dong Sheng felt that he had almost finished the game, so he stopped here to continue to make trouble, and walked out slowly and kindly.Just when the door was closed, there was another sound of throwing things behind the door.
Dong Sheng went to the next door to lift up the slip, and that guy, like Liu Xiahui, sat cross-legged in the corner with his eyes closed and meditated, still relying on other attendants to hug the girl and fight for wine and fists - despite the wind from east to west, north and south, I stood still.
He dragged the old Taoist who was about to become a fairy back to the mortal world, called Hua Xu's reluctant attendants, packed his things and went back.
"What happened?" Wang Sheng saw that he came out, but Aldan didn't, so he couldn't help asking.
"I'll tell you when I get back." Dong Sheng got into the carriage all at once, "Get in the carriage."
Those who drove the carriage were people from the royal palace of Slan, who sent them back to the palace according to Aldan's usual route.Along the way, Dong Sheng gave Xiang Sheng a general account of the night's situation, and now Aldan was in a rage, and even if he had to do the rest, he had to wait for a while.
I didn't feel much when I was playing in the hook bar, but now I came out to look at the dark street, and realized that it was past time.
The inside and outside of Huajie are completely different scenes. Just now the land of wind and moon can be called heaven and earth, but the hell on earth in the outer city is still shocking even under the cover of night.
The hustle and bustle of the carriages and horses behind him gradually faded away, and the surroundings were silent. The evil wind at night passed through the narrow street, neighing like ghosts, stirring the ragged canvas of the shacks on both sides.Presumably those who live in these leaky houses must be cold and hard to sleep.
And at least they still have a tile to cover their heads, so that they won't be frozen to death in this cold winter, but in the shadows of those dilapidated street corners, you can always see people curled up, some of them move occasionally, and some have already Not moving at all, with livid hands and feet... From time to time, there were a few sharp barks from the alleys on both sides, as if they were fighting for food.
When Saru was in power, the Anmin Bureau responsible for the construction of people's livelihood was almost stretched. There was not even a decent and smooth official road in the huge city of Dima, so Dong Sheng had no choice but to drive in Aldan's magnificent car. Swagger through the dirty streets.
Dong Sheng thought; if this kind of thing happened to Hua Xu...
In the past life, he frowned, looked solemn, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The monarch has no virtue, and treats the people like nothing." Dong Sheng sighed inaudibly, "This Sri Lanka is bound to suffer disaster."
No matter how hard Aldan tried his best, the mess left by Saru was still difficult to clean up.
"Father's debt is paid by son," said Wang Sheng, "Aldan may have to pay a lot of price."
Dong Sheng paused for a moment, then suddenly changed the topic and asked: "Speaking of which, have you found any results for those who assassinated Aldan?"
Xiangsheng frowned, shook his head and said, "Not yet, it feels like someone is deliberately concealing it for them. Every time it comes to a critical point, the person concerned keeps it secret."
Dong Sheng frowned, and murmured; "This... shouldn't be..."
After hearing that he didn't respond, I had nothing to do, so I had no choice but to remain silent.He also felt that this matter was really strange, so he pulled out those twisted threads and straightened them out, his mind turned around, and he felt a spark in his heart, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Would it be possible?" yes……"
At this time, the car stopped suddenly unexpectedly, causing both of them to lean forward.Xiangsheng hurriedly stabilized his figure, and shouted outside the curtain of the car; "What happened?! How did you drive the car?!"
So I heard Aldan add another sentence; "But it should be soon, they said that the messenger is already on the way."
Wendell had a reason to coerce Silan. Although Tianhe State belonged to Hua Xu, the black flag was also manipulated by Da Ling to some extent.
