Chapter 1252 1252: Water battle, no martial ethics (Part 2) [Please vote]
Gu Chi: "..."
Although he had been mentally prepared, he heard her say it personally After saying this, I still feel uncomfortable in my heart. He suppressed his emotions and joked in as calm a tone as possible: "Your Majesty is still far away from the prime of life, why do you think about things so far away?"
In terms of seniority, Lin Feng is indeed a junior. , taking into account the age, she is almost the same as people like Chu Yao, just over 20 years old.
Among ordinary people, more than twenty years is indeed close to two generations, but in this world where literary scholars/valiant warriors can easily survive for hundreds of years without accidental death, more than twenty years can be Become a peer. The Lord knows this, but still regards Lin Feng as his future first auxiliary minister and has high hopes for his training. What does this mean? It means that she is not prepared to stay in power for a long time.
Maybe it's more than twenty years, maybe it's more than thirty years.
Jiangshan is once again a new generation replacing the old.
Shen Tang and Gu Chi have known each other for more than ten years, how come they don't know each other's ups and downs? She smiled and came forward. When Gu Chi saw that she was still smiling, his suppressed emotions rebounded in place, and his anger instantly burned his reason: "Why are you still laughing, Your Majesty? What's so funny about this?"
She hurriedly put out the fire. appease.
“Isn’t this a plan for a rainy day?”
As long as she is prepared for long-term development, it is impossible for her not to think about every step in the future in advance. She can't think of cultivating a successor team only when she is at the end of her career and her butt is burning, right? Shen Tang's explanation obviously did not convince Gu Chi, and he sneered.
"Preparing for a rainy day? What I think is planning for a rainy day is that while the Lord is celebrating his 100th birthday, he is watching the assessments of the Ministry of Personnel over the years, thinking about which youngster among them is worthy of the important task, rather than choosing a comparison. Wu Hui is twenty years younger than Lin Feng!”
Shen Tang’s expression went numb.
“Are you really planning to let me retire at the age of 100?”
The previous retirement age for women in human civilization was only fifty-five years old, but Gu Chi started to retire at the age of 100. When she prepares to train new people at her 100th birthday party, she has to keep an eye on them for ten or twenty years. After the troubles are eliminated and the hammering is completed, it will take another ten years to hand over the work with complete confidence, right? To sum up, she has to be at least one hundred and thirty years old before she can see any hope of retirement. Gu Wangchao, can you be a human being?
Gu Chi answered her categorically: "No!"
"Your character is worse than Wuhui and the others."
"You think I'm a jerk now? Then when you used clever tricks to rob me, "Why don't you dislike Gu Wangchao's character?" Gu Chi looked sad and angry, wanting to point his finger at Shen Tang and call her a scumbag. When they had a good relationship, she never said anything about her personality. More than ten years had passed, and now she started to dislike him? Is there any heavenly law?
Shen Tang was thrown into disarray by his accusations.
"I, I... this moment and that moment... what happened back then, weren't we both in love with each other?" Seeing that Gu Chi was so emotional that he wanted to step on a series of holes in the ground under his feet, Shen Tang Wubo followed up to reason, but his voice was obviously weak, "I didn't say that I would give up my job after working for twenty or thirty years. You don't want to think about it. Even if I want to give up my job, someone has to take over, right?"
She is still single.
"Don't talk about children now, I don't even have any men."
Right now, we are still fighting with the southwest, and after we clean up the central part, we will have two territories, the Northeast Continent and the Southeast Continent. She sleeps with her eyes closed and fights with her eyes open. Coupled with the curse of the old man in Wen Da, she has to wait for the world to be unified before considering the successor. The people choose one, and Chu Yao and the others are the first to make trouble with him. Even if they recognize a master other than Shen Tang, this master must be her bloodline heir. This will prevent Shen Tang from being lazy.
To have an heir, she had to find one herself.
Having a child will have to wait until the world is unified.
"Why do we call home before our great career is accomplished?"
Shen Tang knew it with affection. She was not an irresponsible person. She had to wait until her children grew up and could be trusted. If she is unlucky and this account is really useless, she will have to hold her nose and open another account and train it from scratch. Going back and forth, how can she give up her choice after twenty or thirty years? No matter how worried Gu Chi is about her, he must follow the Basic Law, right?
"Men and children have to wait for reunification, are you right?"
After Shen Tang said a few words, the anger in Gu Chi's heart was extinguished. Calm down and think about it, he is indeed too sensitive and suspicious. Those are all things that have disappeared. Why should I worry about them now? Even if you need to worry, it’s not at this time.
Gu Chi pursed his lips, took a step back and bowed to apologize.
"Chi Fang just made a mistake...please punish me."
Shen Tang helped the man up before he bowed to the end, and said: "What crime are you asking for? Why do we need this between you and me? Red tape? Don’t worry, I still have to worry about it for many years.”
Gu Chi was afraid that he would let him go.
Is it possible to do this?
After this incident, Shen Tang did not dare to mention retirement easily again, and because of Gu Chi's scholarly ways, she had to think carefully about it. Being a boss makes you stand out. As everyone knows, Gu Chi is already thinking about how to trip.
Of course, it's not to cause trouble for Shen Tang.
He is preparing to kill all the seedlings that covet the Lord. If the Lord wants to retire, she must have an heir. If she wants an heir, she must have a man who suits her heart, and this man... is the source of all evil. As long as Gu Chi controls this link, it is guaranteed that the Lord's retirement will be far away!
Bai Su rolled her eyes at him.
"Every single person in Kangguo, regardless of gender, doesn't want to be the king's wife/wife? So many people line up to admire the Lord, don't say you only have two hands, even if you really want to The tide has grown eight hands, and even the delicate hand cannot destroy the flower."
Gu Chi counted the registered population of Kang State with his fingers.
He was silent for a moment.
Bai Su said again: "The Lord's character is rather lacking, and the people she likes must be the best among people. Instead of being wary of people who like the Lord, why not be wary of people who the Lord may like?" ”
When I change my mind, it suddenly becomes clear.
In a word, be wary of these singles!
Gu Chi suddenly became energetic.
Bai Su held the two swords in front of Gu Chi's toes, blocking his way, and said with a half-smile: "You came here to ask me who likes the Lord, and you said that the peach blossoms have been in bad luck recently, and they are easy to make mistakes... …How come I don’t know, General, that you are proficient in this? "
Gu Chi: "..."
"Spying on the Lord's whereabouts is a big crime, right?"
Bai Su's face sank, and Gu Chi refused to do anything. A reasonable explanation is the attitude of exterminating relatives for the sake of justice. Gu Chi also didn't doubt that Bai Su would sell him - it was the custom of Kang State to follow the example and follow the example. There was a mad boss who took the lead in internal rolls. The civil and military rolls below were more ruthless than the others, and Bai Shaoxuan was the best among the kings of rolls. If something urgent happened in the middle of the night, he would sit leaning against the futon until dawn.
Gu Chi could only vaguely reveal his master's intention to retire early, but didn't say much else. This little bit of information was enough for Bai Su. She put away her swords and said, "Your Majesty is at the age when he is so powerful, so why do you start thinking about this?"
Gu Chi said: "She wants to run."
Bai Su subconsciously clenched the hilt of the sword for a long time.
After a long while, she said: "Look at the brothers from the Gongxi tribe."
"Why is there Jimo Shaobai? He doesn't need it, right?"
My Lord The social distance from the courtiers is almost the same, and it is almost impossible to have any buds with the courtiers. If it is special, in recent years, Gongxi Qiu is more special. Needless to say, the relationship between the Lord and Gong Xiqiu is a strange friendship between generals who exchange cold arrows.
Will Jimo Qiu also be selected?
Gu Chi didn’t quite understand.
Bai Sudao: "He is too rich." Gu Chi said with a strange expression: "Wealth and honor cannot be kinky, poverty and lowliness cannot be moved, power cannot be surrendered... The Lord cannot just give in to yellow and white things. Really You have to take it seriously, selling your official position is the fastest way to make money. Do you think she made this move? "
Selling your official position and getting your title is not a good word, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a positive side. By selling official titles without real power, a large amount of money can be collected in a short period of time, which can be used for military training and construction in various places.
I don’t know how many years it will take to collect this money just by collecting taxes.
In addition, it is easier for people with qualifications and abilities to stand out. After all, without any real ability or rich family background, they cannot afford to sell their jobs and get titles, right? In fact, when the Ministry of Revenue was at its poorest, some courtiers tried to exploit this opportunity.
Even Qi Shan and others were shaken.
Just selling fake titles can solve the urgent need.
As long as you keep an eye on them, don't give them a chance to become corrupt, and stop after this one vote, you can get the best of both worlds. The Lord's answer was no, and he took the initiative to reduce the royal court's already modest expenses. His determination was evident, and the courtiers stopped mentioning it.
[I didn’t know that every country has done this, and it can also be used to collect redundant money from private hands and solve urgent needs. If I do it, no one will criticize me. But this move involves the bottom line. Once you rely on it to make money quickly this time and get through the difficulties, what about next time? What about next time? What about next time? Governing such a big country cannot be smooth. There will always be accidents that cause the national treasury to be tight. It may be a natural disaster, or it may be a man-made disaster...]
[I can't take chances every time! 】
【Don’t give yourself the chance to become addicted. 】
Shen Tang said sincerely: [Don’t test human nature, not only the human nature of others, but also your own human nature. This time I bowed due to financial pressure, what confidence do I have to guarantee that I won’t do it next time? 】
Gu Chi doesn’t think Jimo Qiu’s money can shake her principles.
"Do you think I'm just talking about his family background? You can't treat money like dirt if you don't agree with one word. You have to ask for something, right? But in these years, no matter what the Lord has done to him, No matter what, he can be happy and calm. Only the first wife can have this kind of mind."
This kind of top-notch love brain can only be found in Huaben.
Gu Chi: "..."
Jimo Qiu is the principal wife, what is she?
Bai Su raised his eyebrows and said, "Concubine?"
She also knew that Gu Chi talked about the "three wives and four concubines" controversy, and used this to stimulate him from time to time - in terms of time, she Bai Su was not a few days behind him Gu Wangchao, and the law of Kang State only allowed one husband, one wife and multiple concubines. In ten or twenty years, when women's cultivation resources can catch up, it is estimated that this concubine will need to be reformed again.
Gu Chi broke his guard: "Don't mention this word!"
His heart stamped Jimo Qiu with special attention!
Bai Su picked up his sword and floated away: "I'm going to practice."
Gu Chi was left alone to continue breaking the defense.
Within two days, the scouts found that the vanguard of the Southwest Allied Forces had arrived first, and the main force was divided into encirclement postures to surround Shen Tang. The two sides were in a tense and imminent posture. At this time, Shen Tang calmed down.
Looking across the river, you can vaguely see the shadow of the flag on the opposite side.
Shen Tang inspected the naval drills against the river breeze, and at the same time was distracted to listen to the battle report - the Southwest Allied Forces also had a brain, and did not attack rashly. Instead, they set up camp and took advantage of the terrain and city defense to prepare to attack Shen Tang. Tang's main force was trapped here, and he secretly mobilized troops and horses to explore the food, grass and baggage transportation routes of Kang State.
As long as there is no stable supply of food and grass, Shen Tang will not be able to hold on for long. What makes the Southwest Allies feel bad is that they cannot find the so-called food line supplies. They sent people to lurk in again and searched for clues from the people about Shen Tang's soldiers and horses arresting people for military rations, but they still couldn't find any. Not to mention that nine out of ten houses were empty, the livelihood of the people in the captured areas was not affected. They were busy making a living and plowing the land. Some soldiers would enthusiastically help when they saw it...
The news spread back to the camp, and silence spread like the plague.
They even suspected that the scout had been bribed.
How else could you say such absurd and uninhibited words?
In addition to these, the scouts also found out that Shen Tang's main force was training the navy, and the formation looked a bit sloppy and funny.
The leader of Qi State breathed a sigh of relief.
This is barely good news.
The Allies were in a low mood because of the bad news from the other three routes. Until they saw with their own eyes the ironclad evidence that Kang was not good at water warfare, they became more confident in the future. As long as we can defeat the main force of Kang State and deal a major blow to it, all previous defeats can be wiped out!
Cui Zhi also said good news.
"There have been changes in the central countries."
The central part also noticed Kang Guo's actions and prepared to end it.
If Kang Guo is not contained, the opponent will really become a giant that devours everything. By then it will be too late to stop him. At that time, the Wu Kingdom was destroyed by the evil spirit, its combat power collapsed overnight, and its buildings collapsed. However, there was no such fatal danger in Kang's progress step by step.
Once Kang State reaches the scale of Wu State...
Everything will be difficult to reverse!
This news is like a shot in the arm, sweeping away the depression.
“Seriously?”
Cui Zhidao: “Seriously!”
As the main branch of the Southwest Branch, the news is absolutely true! He even knew that Mei Meng did not supervise the country and went to the front line without permission, with unknown results. Little does he know that there are things in this world that he cannot control.
For example, Shen Tang’s relationship with the leader of Southeast Qu Kingdom.
It is better to make friends from far away and attack from close quarters!
Getting an inch is like a king's inch, and getting a ruler is like a king's ruler!
This is the way Shen Tang said to distract the central government, to unite with Qu State and use the power of Qu State to contain the central government.
"Is it appropriate for you to appear here?"
Zhai Le opened the door.
Zhai Le doubts life.
Zhai Le slammed the door shut.
"Is it appropriate for you to sit here?" He pointed to the position under Shen Zixu Tang's butt with a livid face, wishing to lift him up, and said angrily, "Get up, this is the throne! ”
Shen Zixu Tang covered his face with the memorial that Zhai Le had reviewed, revealing a pair of cunning almond eyes: "You are the king, and I am also the king. You can sit on the throne, and I can sit on the throne...a chair, with my identity Sitting on it didn’t humiliate it.”
Seeing that the other party refused to get up, Zhai Le chose to call someone.
