Selfishness

After the three-day banquet, Yao Chan left with the army.And in the past few days, our affairs have also spread rapidly across the country with the help of Yingtang.According to Yingtang’s feedback, there is nothing special about the people’s side, it’s the same as before.As for the princes, apart from Chen Hui, among the remaining stronger people, Xiao Han is fighting against foreigners to regain the border, while Chu Yuan is sensual. They seem to acquiesce to us, or they don't care at all.And Yuan Ming, the prince in the southwest of us, has been very silent.The domestic defense is also very strong, and the information that Eagle Hall has obtained from them is very little.I can't grasp his movements, and I can't find his mind. Instead, this person has become what I worry about the most.

"Sister Ying, how much do you know about Yuan Ming?"

"Yuan Ming..." Ying Qi rested her chin and thought for a while and said, "It can be said that there are very few people who broke into the Yuan Kingdom, and there is not much information. I only know that he is tall and skilled with the stick. Among the princes, he It is the latest to start development, but the fastest to expand its territory."

"Is there anything about his life experience?"

"Yuan Ming claims to be the grandson of the late emperor's uncle, King Heshan, but there are rumors that he is just a farmer. And Yuan Ming is indeed not like other princes and kings who claim to be kings, he is a person with a title or an official position."

"Farmer? Could the farmer become the ruler of the current one party?" I said a little funny.The rumors in the market are really unbelievable.

"My subordinates also feel that this is not credible, but there is indeed no more accurate information. There were many bloodlines in the royal family earlier, and many of them declined. It is hard to tell whether what Yuan Ming said is true or false." Su Yun is not here, Yingqi still loves to call herself Subordinate, no matter how I correct her, she is still the same.

"Even if his identity is suspected by others, he still has come to this day. It can be seen that his means of attracting people's hearts is extraordinary."

"That's true. It's hard to buy off his close ministers."

"However, since he claims to be a descendant of the previous dynasty, he will naturally not be our enemy."

Yingqi seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly told me: "Yuanming has recruited many literati as diners among the people, and many of them are strategists. When Yuanming first rose, he was besieged by the surrounding princes. The Yuan State, at the end of its strength, actually relied on the lobbying of a counselor to make all the princes withdraw their troops. This Yuan State is also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and the young leader cannot underestimate the enemy."

The name Young Master has come out, it seems that he is really anxious.

"Don't worry, I have my reasons." I pushed the teacup towards her and said, "He claims to be a descendant of the past, and this is his own name, so why should he attack us to destroy his expenses?" A reputation built with all his heart? Besides, there are his counselors. The counselors have always quoted scriptures in their debates. In other words, everything they do is ethically defensible. In this case, they How could he attack us at will? Attack this teacher of morality praised by the people? The more he cares about other people's opinions, the more careful he will treat us."

In this troubled world, everyone wants to have a share in the world, and everyone is eyeing the higher-ups.In order to protect themselves, the superiors had to turn to the greatest force—the common people.Without people, there is no army, no food and culture, and all monarchs have to care about the opinions of the people.But people at this time are fickle and unstable, and they may turn against each other at any time.And in order to keep them from rebelling at will, the best way is to let the people eat and drink well.In that case, even if there are some minor complaints, they will not resist, because a peaceful life is always difficult to change from themselves.But a stable environment is still not easy at this time, so the people are still a little impetuous after all.And in order to prevent the common people from betraying themselves, they can only do one thing, which is to increase their prestige.Prestige represents how many people can be gathered with one call, the higher the prestige, the more people can be summoned naturally.Attacking us will definitely not give him reputation, at least not from the Central Plains.And people like the Yao family and Li Min are destined not to become overlords.Just looking at those overlords, you can see that their scheming is still a little bit off.

"But there is no doubt about one thing, they all want us to die." Yingqi said solemnly.

"For this, we need some bargaining chips." I moved closer to Yingqi and began to discuss with her in a low voice.

"What are you guys talking about! You've been chatting for so long! You haven't come to eat yet!" When Yingqi and I were chatting happily, Su Yun came in and gave me a very dissatisfied look, as if telling me that I took her wife for too long.

"What? Have you been left alone for too long?" I said with a malicious smile, "Why don't you stop eating, and go talk about life first, and I'll eat by myself."

"Little Mozi, you are a disciple!"

Su Yun and I were chasing all the way, while Yingqi was standing behind me smiling and watching.At this moment, I really thought that there would be no more battles, at least not in the past few years.After all, a prestigious general like Yao Chan had been defeated, most of the idiots would not dare to come, and those with power would come cautiously.Unexpectedly, within a month, Yao Chan would go and come back again.Only this time, he only brought more than a hundred soldiers.

"Why is Yao Chan back again! Didn't everyone agree to coexist peacefully?" Su Yun spun around anxiously, scolding Yao Chan for treachery as she walked.

"Young Master!" I was about to tell Su Yun to sit down and not turn around when Yingqi hurried in, and when Su Yun saw this, she took the panting man into her arms and said, "Xiaoqi, go What's wrong? I'm so worried! Why are you so anxious? What happened?"

You also know that she is anxious!Then why don't you let her speak quickly!Still keep interrupting her with hush and inquires?I couldn't stop cursing in my heart.

"Yun'er, stop making trouble! It's a serious business!" Yingqi left Su Yun's arms and walked towards me, carrying Feng and Su Da's eye knife along the way.

"Young master, look at this!" Yingqi handed me the unique letter paper of Yingtang, "There was news from Yingtang that Yao Chan's nephew, the master of the Yao family, was taken away! And the thief demanded Yao Chan captured Zhonghu City in exchange for Patriarch Yao's life!"

"What? A king was taken away?" Before I could yell out, Su Yun said in shock, "This is a big deal!"

Want you to say this is a big deal?He actually said such useless nonsense in a serious manner. Is Doctor Su going to perform in an opera recently?

"Who did it?"

Yingqi looked at me with some self-reproach and said nothing.Looks like it hasn't been found yet.

"Little Mozi, you can't blame Xiaoqi! She went to check it herself! If you can't find out, how can you blame her!" Has this great doctor Su recently become a star who will die if he doesn't spoil his wife?Do I blame Yingqi?

"Yun'er, stop making trouble. It's my fault. I'm not good at handling things. I can't find out such important things." The more Ying Qi said, the more she blamed herself. scold.

Hi!Who did I provoke?You show your affection every day to hurt me, and today you scolded me for protecting your wife!I am so wronged as a major general!Am I easy? Me!

"I don't blame you, Sister Ying, don't blame yourself." But I still comforted Yingqi and Su Yun who was going crazy.After the emotions of both of them returned to normal, I still said to them very seriously: "Our Eagle Hall can get the news, presumably the rest of the forces can get it too. But this thing has happened until now, no one has taken any action. It is clear that we hope that Yao Chan will break through Zhonghu City. We have no choice, either kill Yao Chan, or find the master of the Yao family. I still don’t want to kill Yao Chan, so I can only trouble the two of you to find the master of the Yao family It's gone." Seeing Su Yun's murderous eyes, I had no choice but to say in a respectful tone.

Su Yun's deeds of protecting her wife are too famous. The children of high-ranking officials who were rude to Yingqi before were tossed half of their lives by inexplicable diseases. In the end, they saved their lives by relying on the "magic hand of Su Yun" to recover their lives. .Afterwards, Su Yun was treated as the seat of honor, and I don't know how much money he gave.The point is that until now they don't know that it was actually Su Yun's medicine.

Alas, I'm spineless, so I don't want to try Su Yun's medicines—drugs that won't kill people, but will make people want to kill themselves.
