Chapter 1090 1090: Do you know what loyalty to the king means? (Part 2) [Request for monthly votes]
Despite being mentally prepared, Wu Xian still twitched at the corners of his mouth when he actually heard Shen Tang’s shameless remarks, and his expression was more complicated and tortuous than a ball of wool. Everyone knows that gold and silver money is a good thing, but who would talk about it? Even if you love money so much in your heart, you still have to be reserved in your mouth, and even curse the smell of copper to show that you are elegant and refined, and different from ordinary people.
Shen Youli, on the other hand, wants money as soon as she opens her mouth.
No matter how you say it, you are also the master of a country. Even if you become a prisoner, your true value cannot be measured by gold and silver.
It is disgraceful to talk about money whenever you open your mouth.
He asked: "As the leader of the country, you are still short of money?"
Shen Tang said: "I'm going crazy because of the lack."
Wu Xian: "..."
Shen Tang continued to smile playfully, not caring at all about Li Lang’s slumped face, and even put his elbow on Wu Xian’s shoulder. Quite affectionately: "To be honest, Brother Zhaode, the Kang State was so poor at the beginning of its establishment that I wished I could break a penny in half and spend it. Even as the leader of the country, I have no balance from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. , isn’t this called lack of money?”
Wu Xian then noticed the material on Shen Tang’s body.
It's really not that expensive.
Not only Shen Tang, most of the civil and military clothes she wears are plain, and the decorations on her clothes are mainly inconspicuous dark patterns. There is an air of simplicity everywhere, which is completely opposite to the civil and military officers of the Gao Kingdom.
Which of the ministers who became officials in the Gao Kingdom has a weak family background?
Even military generals who are stereotyped as "five great and three rough" by the secular world like to be gorgeous and beautiful, let alone the civil servants of aristocratic families?
Shen Tang took Wu Xian's gaze calmly.
She continued: "When I think about the history of entrepreneurship, I can't help but cry tears of bitterness for myself. Alas, I have worked hard for five or six years to make every household have some surplus food, so that the people in the country will not go hungry all year round. , bare buttocks, the local grain depot is finally not a place where rats turn their heads when they see it. Suddenly, someone has made a Ponzi scheme out of their savings."
Wu Xian's eyes narrowed. .
He doesn’t understand Ponzi schemes, and he can guess the meaning based on the context. It was heard that Shen Tang was liquidating the grain and fodder in Jinli County.
Wu Xian reminded Shen Tang: "This situation was not caused by Gao Guo."
Didn't Bei Mo set up a trap to defraud the grain and grass?
Shen Tang nodded: "It is true that the Gao Kingdom did not set up a trap, but the grain and grass were burned in the Gao Kingdom. The Northern Desert sent these stolen goods to the Gao Kingdom, and then transferred them back to the Northern Desert under the guise of a big merchant in the Gao Kingdom. I immediately Contact Zhao Brother De, I waited and waited, but only waited for the bad news that the food was burned. Is this food really burned? We are not children, and we know it well."
She said the last sentence. The tone added a chill.
Wu Xian: "..."
At this point, there is no point in quibbling.
He chose to remain silent.
Shen Tang expressed his heartfelt emotion: "We have all seen the tragic situation of starvation and death, and have seen people who have gone to a dead end to exchange their children for food. You should know better than anyone how difficult it is to prevent everyone from going hungry. I have saved so much How difficult is it to have a small family fortune..."
So, she is really poor.
Lack of money, lack of food, lack of everything.
Wu Xian closed his eyes and endured the pain in his temples.
"In that case, if the wise man doesn't tell secret words, how much do you want?"
"Children only make choices, of course adults want them all." Shen Tang smiled, and spoke under the glare of Wu Xian's big copper bell eyes, "If you want money, you don't want much, and the financial resources of the whole country That’s it; if you want a city or land, you don’t need much, just every inch of land in Gaoguo! His, such as Brother Zhaode's life, depends on whether you want to live it."
Wu Xian thought back and realized that he was being played: "Shen Youli, you really think that I am Wu Zhaode. People who are greedy for life and afraid of death?"
Shen Tang quickly waved his hand to signal Wu Xian to calm down.
"Brother Zhaode, don't be upset." Her eyes were full of cunning, with the clarity to see through everything, and her words were so mean that it was heartbreaking, "I don't mean to humiliate you, it's just that the current situation - This is an ugly sentence. Brother Zhaode is afraid that he will be I gave up. Even if I am willing to offer Gao Guo a chance to exchange for you, if the offer is low, I will not be willing to do so. If the offer is high, your ministers may not be willing.”
Wu Xian said angrily: “No matter how bad I am, I won’t be willing.” The lord of a country.”
Where does it say that if you are given up, you will be given up?
Shen Tang said: "Everyone seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages."
Wu Xian almost choked to death with one sentence.
From the perspective of profit, there is indeed a possibility that Wu Xian will be given up - rather than going through all the trouble to get him back, it would be better to support his son as the new master. It can not only reduce losses, but also save the face of loyal ministers and good generals. It can be said that it is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone.
He understood the truth, but he just couldn't accept the reality.
If he admitted it, it would be equivalent to admitting that his subordinates were incompetent and that the monarch and his ministers were alienated. The ministers were not even willing to pay to redeem him.
To admit this in front of Shen Tang, it would be better to kill him.
Wu Xian fell into silence again.
Seeing that Wu Xian's face was as pale as the bottom of the pot, Shen Tang laughed without sincerity: "Of course, this is my family's opinion. There are always loyal people in this world who value morality over interests. There are no absolutes in anything. , Brother Zhaode, don’t take my words at heart.”
Unfortunately, these words did not make Wu Xian’s face improve.
Because judging from Shen Tang's gag words, her attitude is very clear - she refuses peace talks! The war between the two countries can only have one outcome, and that is Kang State annexing Gao State! No matter how high the state sends envoys to negotiate, it will be useless no matter how many chips they offer.
After clearing this up, Wu Xian looked at Shen Tang with a more complicated look: "... Since you have made a decision and are determined to fight to the end and will not discuss it with Gao Guo, why do you need to talk to Wu about this? Could it be that? Do you want to see what Wu looks like as a prisoner? Or do you want to hear Wu begging for mercy? It’s so humiliating!”
“No, no, that’s not why I’m telling Brother Zhaode.” Shen Tang’s smile added a hint of cunning, “I want to persuade Brother Zhaode to write a biography. It is an edict to give up the throne to any child, and it saves the Gao State from sending envoys. "
None of the officials of the Gao State sincerely welcomed Wu Xian back.
Instead of wasting time negotiating and pulling, it would be better for Wu Xian to step down directly for them, which would save them trouble and Shen Tang would also save worry.
Wu Xian: "..."
Shen Tang was curious: "Brother Zhaode, why are you looking at me like this?"
Wu Xian said bluntly: "Let's see if you have a brain disease."< br>
Did Shen Youli make this decision with her butt?
The civil and military forces of Kang State did not stop him?
As long as Wu Xian is still the legitimate leader of the Gao Kingdom, regardless of whether the civil and military forces of the Gao Kingdom sincerely welcome him back, they will pretend to be sincere and run for him. In this way, Shen Tang can use Wu Xian as a bargaining chip to make Gao Guo use the rat weapon. Once Wu Xianchan passed the throne to his son and became the supreme king, he became the emperor and the minister, and Gao Guo had less to worry about. The Supreme King, who abdicated despite legal procedures and was still trapped in the enemy's camp, died. No matter what angle you consider, this decision is not conducive to Shen Tang.
Wu Xian asked again: "Or do you have another conspiracy?"
Shen Tang wanted to swear to the sky with three fingers: "I have been honest and honest all my life and have no conspiracy! How could Brother Zhaode do this? Guessing me?"
Wu Xian: "..."
It was a tense moment, but he smiled inexplicably, as if he heard some interesting joke.
Shen Youli?
A life of magnanimity?
Although this guy is beautiful, he is too thick-skinned.
Although Shen Tang's proposal made him excited, Wu Xian did not agree easily. He wanted to think carefully about the conspiracy. I would rather believe the matchmaker's nonsense than Shen Youli's nonsense.
Wu Xian was taken away, and Shen Tang helplessly stroked his forehead and complained: "...Wu Zhaode used it in a mess when he should have been careful. When he shouldn't have been careful, he acted the other way around."
He just wanted to give Mei Jinghe a surprise.
Why doesn’t Wu Xian fulfill her wish?
Obviously, Wu Xian does not have the beauty of an adult.
He is simply not the focus of today.
Shen Tang still has a lot of things to be busy with.
"Have all the prisoners been counted?" "How are our casualties?"
"What medicinal materials are lacking in the wounded camp?"
These are what Shen Tang wants to ask. This matter, especially the latter one, involves human lives, and Shen Tang needs to cooperate with Lin Feng to make up for the shortage of medicinal materials. After arranging these things, the battlefield was cleaned, the enemy corpses were burned and buried, and the bones of the fallen soldiers were ordered to be placed. Bring the teacher back together when he returns to the DPRK.
As for rewards based on merit?
This matter is arranged at the end.
The discussion between Shen Tang and everyone was over, and the sky outside the tent was already dark.
Looking up again, only Gong Xiqiu was left in the tent. I don’t know how long he had been waiting. Gong Xiqiu always couldn't hide things when facing Shen Tang. Shen Tang knew at a glance that he had something to say, and she also happened to have something to ask - counting the list of high-level prisoners of war in the Gao Kingdom, there was no Eternal Theocracy on it. The teacher's name was not found, and his body was not found.
No one is seen alive, no body is seen dead.
Shen Tang guessed that he probably ran away.
It's just that neither Gong Xiqiu brother took the initiative to speak, wondering if there was any other problem: "Gong Xiqiu, do you have anything else to do?"
Gong Xiqiu said: "Yes."
Shen Tang Putting down his official duties, he stood up and said, "Lead the way."
After giving a few words to his personal guards, Shen Tang followed Gong Xiqiu out of the camp. Along the way, countless speculations came to her mind. Before I could sift through the speculations one by one, I arrived at my destination.
Shen Tang turned around and glanced at the camp not far away.
Surprised: "So close?"
It is indeed very close, just below the battlefield where the two countries are fighting.
"Why is there a secret passage here? It looks quite fresh." Shen Tang is not bad in height, but Gong Xiqiu is very tall. In some sections, he can only pass by squatting sideways, and there are many obstacles along the road. There are damaged parts. Seeing Gong Xiqiu brutally clearing the way, Shen Tang's heart pounded and reminded him, "You should be gentler. If the secret passage collapses, we will be buried alive here to see if your elder brother doesn't get angry."
Gong Xi Qiu shook off the sand that fell on his head.
He said casually: "He can't smoke. If we are buried, he will definitely be buried deeper than us."
Shen Tang: "..."
She observed the shape of the tunnel: "This secret tunnel does not look like it was dug by people, but more like it was crawled out by some animal."
"Mama Good eyesight is my totem of courage."
Shen Tang: "...Why? What happened?"
Gong Xiqiu said: "What else can happen? Brother, isn't he going after that old guy? If you try to catch a turtle in an urn, who knows you will be intercepted by Wei Cheng on the way..."
Shen Tang frowned worriedly: "Isn't Wei City blocked?"
Gong Xiqiu raised his finger and pointed upward: "In this battle, the people who died on the ground will catch up with the people sleeping underground, Wei The city feeds on resentment and death, how useful can a hastily sealed seal be? If Mama hadn't saved him midway, it wouldn't have just been Wei Cheng's martial spirit incarnation, but his own self. These twenty-level Chehous are really disgusting things."
< br>I miss him as a genius, but I will always be his disgusting enemy.
In the early years, I didn't suffer much under Tang Guo's tent.
The more you improve your strength, the more you suffer.
The enemies they encountered were either the incarnations of the eighteenth-level concubine chief or the twenty-level Chehouhou who had received the [Daigo Enlightenment] like Gong Cheng, or they were the twenty-level Chehouhou himself. It put him in danger several times!
Gong Xiqiu always felt that he had been humbled.
When I think of Weicheng, I feel even more angry.
Shen Tang agreed with Gong Xiqiu's evaluation. The twenty-level Chehou who stood on the enemy's side was indeed a bit disgusting. If the hidden danger of Weicheng is not solved, it will be a hidden danger after all: "Can Weicheng be saved?"
The song "Duhun" can really save souls. Wei Cheng has nothing to do with living people. If she could transcend it and let Shen Tang arrange a make-up funeral for Weicheng that lasted for seventy-seven forty-nine days, she would be willing to do so.
Wei Cheng refused to be saved, so she punched him again.
"You want to save me?"
Shen Tang: "..."
In the darkness, before she heard Gong Xiqiu's answer, she heard one first A strange male voice, the owner of the voice claimed to be Wei Cheng.
Well, that is the goal she wants to transcend.
Gong Xiqiu's answer came slowly.
“It’s not necessary to save him at the moment.”
Shen Tang soon understood why it was unnecessary.
If she had a system that could see everyone's position, then the Wei Cheng she saw now would definitely be a neutral yellow name!
Wei Cheng, who was beaten to death not long ago, is now standing at the corner of the secret passage, and he doesn't know how much he heard from Shen Tang.
Shen Tang's expression only changed for a moment, and he regained his composure instantly.
She has no doubt that Gong Xiqiu will harm her.
So——
Either this Gong Xiqiu is fake;
Or Wei Cheng is out of his mind.
Shen Tang chose the latter.
Wei Cheng in front of us is not the real person, but the incarnation of Wei Cheng. It didn't even wear any armor, and had no sharp weapons in its hands.
Seeing that Shen Tang did not attack rashly, Wei Cheng nodded.
Commented: "Well, there is something about calmness."
Shen Tang frowned: "What's going on?"
Gong Xiqiu was not good at eloquence, so it would be too difficult for him to explain clearly. Shen Tang could only wait for Shen Tang to see everything by himself. If he had to sum it up, he could only think of one sentence: "Their uncle and nephew turned against each other."
Shen Tang paused in shock: "Turn against each other?"
Wei Cheng in front was not there He warned in a good-natured way.
Gloating in front of him?
"You two think that I am an old man?" If it weren't for my scruples, I really wanted to bury these three bastards here alive to save them from the aggrievement.
Gong Xiqiu snorted, obviously not afraid.
Shen Tang: "..."
Wei Cheng didn't let Wei Cheng kill him even though he was so close to his face.
It seems that it is true that the uncle and nephew have turned against each other.
Shen Tang's heart moved, and he raised his eyebrows and thought about the real reason why the uncle and nephew turned against each other - they are both people who stand at the top of the pyramid in terms of strength, and there is no problem of uneven distribution of interests, because as long as they want, There are so many benefits at your fingertips. For such people, the only thing that can turn them against their goals is a conflict of ideas and morals.
However, they have gone through ups and downs for more than two hundred years, and if they really wanted to have a conflict of ideas and morals, they would not wait until now, so——
Shen Tang was also open-minded.
“The person who cooperated with the Society of Gods back then was your uncle?”
