Chapter 12541254: Did I come at the wrong time? [Asking for monthly votes]
It is not easy to investigate the theory of world destruction in Shen Tang’s mouth.
However, Yu Hai also has his own way.
As the head of the Southeast Branch, he has a broad network that ordinary people cannot imagine. Direct investigation was not possible, so he used the cooperation between Wenda and the Northwest Branch and the trends over the past few years as a breakthrough point. By the way, he also checked the Northwest Branch to pray for charity. No matter Qi Yuanliang or Shen Youli, who is the puppet master controlling the puppets and who is the puppet controlled by the puppet master, their interests must be the same!
Zhai Le hasn’t seen Yu Hai for several days.
Just when he was about to take the initiative to ask, Yu Hai asked to see him with a pair of haggard black circles under his eyes. He ate with Queen Zhao. Their youngest son was so adorable that he sat obediently beside his parents while eating. Although Zhai Le and Zhao are the lord and queen of the Qu Kingdom, privately they are as close and loving as ordinary couples, and they raise their children without adhering to the old rule of eating and not speaking.
When you meet someone you like to eat, don’t forget to give him or her a bite.
Of course, this is Zhai Le’s habit.
When he was young, he and his brother Zhai Huan traveled abroad. It was impossible for the two of them to abide by the rules of aristocratic families all the time. In addition, due to the influence of their personalities, Zhai Le was also willing to share what he liked. Queen Zhao was very uncomfortable with it at first, but she got used to it over time.
I even feel that this move can bring the relationship between husband and wife closer.
"Father, my son wants it too."
Zhai Le had no choice but to lean aside and take out his chopsticks: "Okay, here you go."
Halfway through the meal, Yu Hai came to see him.
Zhai Le guessed that the investigation had results, and put down his chopsticks: "Sanniang, you use it first, Gui Long should be in an emergency when he comes here at this time. Keep an eye on the bastard, don't let him eat too much food. .”
“Just don’t worry.”
Zhai Le is not optimistic about this.
In his early years, he decided that his second daughter should be the queen's concubine, determined to entrust her with important responsibilities, and trained her in accordance with the standards of an heir. Regardless of the clan's opposition, civil and military opposition, or popular debate, he never wavered. In other words, no matter how talented the younger son was, there was no chance of him being crowned king. Out of guilt for the child, and the fact that this child was most likely to be the last one in her life - Zhai Le found an absolutely safe contraceptive method. Even if it was to ensure that his second daughter's heir was stable, he could not give the queen another child. ——Queen Zhao loves her youngest son even more.
Not to mention that the younger son has learned how to coax adults without a teacher.
“Eat less.”
Zhai Le could only pat his youngest son’s little head.
He was startled when he saw Yu Hai's haggard appearance.
“Gui Long, haven’t you slept these past few days?”
Yu Hai shook his head: “Where can I still sleep?”
Zhai Le was heartbroken when he heard this. He was a bit unsure: "Wunda really did something to make the whole world "The world will bury him with him?"
Yu Hai said: "I can't find the specific details, but from the clues, I can see some clues from Shen Youli's actions over the past few years. What I found.”
Zhai Le looked at the thick pile of information. It took him a long time to glance at it all. Fortunately, there were red highlights marked by Yu Hai. He only needed to look at these to get a general understanding. The more Zhai Le watched, the more silent he became. He even forgot when to put down the information.
Yu Hai asked: "What is your master's plan?"
Qu Guo has basically gathered the forces in the southeast, and took the opportunity of friction with the forces in the northeast to show off his muscles and give him a slap in the face Give me another sweet date, and I can barely deter the greedy and malicious eyes of the outside world! We should seize the opportunity to recuperate and try our best not to let others see the signs of external strength and internal control. We have now entered a stage of stable development, and it is the time when we need a truce to restore people's livelihood.
If there is another war, the opposition will not be quiet.
Qu Guo does not necessarily need to help contain the central forces. He can also choose to wait until Shen Tang is attacked by two parties and the three parties are fighting, and then Qu Guo takes action to reap the benefits. Of course, this choice is not wise. Not only is it too villainous, but it can also easily capsize!
The advantage of the snipe and the clam is not so easy to take advantage of.
Zhai Le said: "Contact these people privately."
He gave Yu Hai a small note.
Yu Hai opened it and saw that they were all generals! This is not surprising, because most of the opposition comes from the civil servant family, and most of the training resources of military commanders are on the battlefield. As long as Zhai Le can talk through this group of people and have their support, this matter can basically be accomplished.
He put the note into his sleeve.
Zhai Le asked again: "Have you found out where Shen Youli is staying?"
"This person is on the outskirts of the royal capital. Your Majesty wants to see her?"
Zhai Le lowered his head and wiped his beloved He held up his sword until the blade could clearly reflect his own eyes, then he sheathed the sword, hung it on his waist again, and picked up two jars of wine: "Of course I want to see someone. When we met, we all agreed to work together to divide the fat in the middle part, and we should reach a preliminary agreement on how to divide it and how much to divide it, so that it would not become a mess after it was completed."
Yu Hai also stood up and followed: "I will go with the master."
Qi Yuanliang's lord, he is also very interested.
Shen Tang did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts, he was just worried that others would not find him. The government affairs of the central branch company were handed over to Gu De, and Xia Houyu followed her and sneaked into the territory of Qu State to work.
Although it was not the first time, she still wanted to sigh - Xiahou Zikuan is really a very unique Quqing Academy limited edition white moonlight, and he can make connections wherever he goes. She had no chance to use the travel expenses she brought for this business trip.
Others have to spend money when going out, but he just pays for his face.
Xia Houyu’s friends took the initiative to arrange this trip to the suburban villa. They entertained them with big fish and meat every day. They arranged a poetry outing the day before yesterday, and organized a meandering water drinking banquet yesterday. They also had original itinerary arrangements for today. It's just that Shen Tang didn't want to go out, so he gave up.
My friend simply stayed in the other courtyard to play chess and drink tea with Xiahou Yu.
Inside the window was two scribes playing chess elegantly, and outside the window was Shen Tang twisting her wig with a ferocious expression. In addition to the one in her hand, there were two wigs hanging on the rope for replacement. Every time my friend looks up and sees this scene, he can't help but freeze up!
He immediately lowered his head, saw the box in his hand from the corner of his eye, and felt very excited - his friend heard that Xia Houyu had a stable home in the early years, and he was happy for him. He also heard that many classmates went there He defected and now assists the lord in managing his power in a decent way. This time when he passed through Qu State, Xia Houyu brought him two special gifts, biographies of famous ministers and celebrities produced by Northwest Kang State.
A friend also has it, but it is a pirated copy and the workmanship is rough.
In one correspondence, a friend mentioned it to Xia Houyu. Unexpectedly, the other party would take it to heart and even bring him a limited edition copy. It's a limited edition, and the paper quality alone makes people fall in love with it. My friend really can’t figure out how Kangguo can mass-produce it while ensuring quality? Not only the Kangguo edition of biographies of famous ministers and celebrities, the books produced by Northwest Kangguo Bookstore are also the best in the industry!
The paper is of good quality, the handwriting is clear, and the layout is concise.
The most important thing is that it is of high quality and low price!
Friends have heard more than once that it is easy for scribes in the northwest to publish books. They only need to submit the manuscript to the official bookstore of Kangguo. After the bookstore passes the review and gets the ISBN, the book can be printed. It can also be sold on the shelves of the domestic bookstore, with a profit of 50%. . After profit, the most important thing is to make a name for yourself! Which scribe doesn't want his words and deeds to be spread throughout the world?
You can print it and keep it at home for reading.
The more he listened, the more excited he became, but the distance was too far.
He can only entrust friends from all over the world to bring him a few volumes if they have the opportunity. There are few bulky letters on the shelves in his study, and instead there are neatly stacked hardcover books.
Xia Houyu was also interested.
Give me peaches and give me Qiong Yao.
He also entertained the other party more sincerely.
The girl next to Zi Kuan is quite strange.
He once accidentally caught the other person taking off his wig and using a razor blade to shave the newly grown sparse hair on his scalp, and his eyes widened in shock. This girl is actually dressed as a bhikshuni?
When I thought of some bhikshuni in a rural nunnery, my friend looked unhappy, obviously thinking of something strange. Until Shen Tang corrected her that she was not a sister-in-law! She just used a wig because she was bald for some reason and couldn't grow hair in some parts of her scalp!
The friend was immediately ashamed and apologized. It's one thing to know in your heart, but it's another thing to see Shen Tang drying several wigs with your own eyes, but Xia Houyu still looks like he's used to it. Can Xia Houyu not get used to it? Among these wigs, there is another one that a colleague prepared to give to the Lord in private last year as a birthday gift. Just how to fix the hair style gave the ingenious embroiderer a headache, but fortunately it was completed on schedule.
The Lord is very satisfied with this wig.
High skull, ample hair volume, and thick hair color!
So far, only two people know about Shen Tang showing off her wig.
When Zhai Le climbed over the courtyard wall with two jars of wine, the number of people who knew the secret of showing off the wig became four. Shen Tang combed the wig for a while, and Yu Hai almost jumped from the courtyard wall. Unable to stand still, Zhai Le's eyes switched between the clothesline and Shen Tang.
Zhai Le raised the tip of her nose: "I came at the wrong time?"
Shen Zixu Tang: "..."
She is calm and composed on the surface, but in fact she is calm inside. Hold your head and shout.
Pretending to be calm, he picked up a wig and covered his head. His movements were smooth and natural, but made a group of spectators startled and unseemly: "No, it's just the right time. Oh, you brought wine? It's rare that you can do that." I saw it from your side.”
Zhai Le was always the one who wanted to drink with her.
"Please have a drink."
Zhai Le raised his hand, and one of the bottles of wine made a beautiful and simple arc in the air, and landed steadily in Shen Tang's hand. She patted open the red cloth wine seal with one hand, and the rich aroma of wine came to her nostrils, making people drunk just by smelling it. She took a sip and said: "Good wine!"
"Don't finish it in a hurry, drink it while chatting."
"Chat? Okay!"
Shen Tang had already determined that Zhai Le would agree, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed here for several days. Nowadays, Zhai Le is not the reckless but righteous young man he once was. He still has the livelihood of a country on his shoulders. Naturally, when cooperating with others, he has to spend every penny and not lose an inch.
Zhai Le saw Xia Houyu through the window leak.
Xia Houyu raised his glass and saluted from a distance, which was a good way to say hello.
My friend's pupils shrank suddenly, his muscles stiffened, and his movement to stand up stopped in mid-air, because Zhai Le had already gone to another place side by side with Shen Tang, and Yu Hai followed closely, without noticing him at all. When the three of them disappeared from sight, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"That was not..."
"The lord of the Qu Kingdom, Zhai Xiaofang."
The friend smiled and said: "It is really the lord."
He was in the court of the Qu Kingdom. Although a middle-ranking official is not a senior official, he is still qualified to meet the emperor. He was supposed to be on duty these days, but because of Xia Houyu's arrival, he asked for leave from his superior, and Yu Hai was the one who approved his leave. It was quite embarrassing to be seen by the two of them at this moment.
My friend was playing chess for a while, and he thought of something.
He asked cautiously: "The Lord seems to be here to look for..."
My friend's eyes moved to the flying wig on the clothesline.
The king of the country can come in person. From the conversation between the two, it seems that they are still old acquaintances. It is not easy to guess the identity of the "bhikshuni".
Xia Houyu said: "I came to find my Lord."
The friend nodded: "Oh...oh?"
Wait, what did Zi Kuan call that person? ? ?
Shen Tang was sitting cross-legged on the rockery by the pond, eager to take a sip of the wine. Although the taste was not as good as her spirit wine, it was better in that it had a complex and unique taste that she had never tasted before. Zhai Le had touched the wine jar with her and got straight to the point: "How much will you share?"
Shen Tang was already prepared for this.
She knew that Zhai Le was coming to her door, either to inquire about the details of the world-destroying disaster or to figure out how to divide the spoils.
Shen Tang doesn’t like to suffer losses: “50 or 50.”
Even if Zhai Le was mentally prepared, she would laugh out loud at her.
Suppressing the anger in his heart: "Fifty-fifty? Shen Youli, I didn't know you could be so thick-skinned, you can even talk about it?"
Shen Tang said: "Why are you so thick-skinned? ?”
Zhai Le asked her: “Can you send troops or food?”
Kang Guo’s main energy is in the southwest, and he will not take the initiative to send troops away unless it is absolutely necessary. If Zhai Le does not end, Kang Guo's only solution is to recruit new soldiers at home, and then allocate part of the internal defense to make do. In this case, both numbers and strength are far below average. If Zhai Le is dismissed, Shen Tang will be less pressured by border defense and can focus more on dealing with the southwest, with less investment in the central part. In this situation, she actually had the nerve to propose a 50-50 split with herself? ? ?
Is this different from taking money directly from his wallet?
Shameless and greedy!
Shen Tang said: "I can send troops and food."
Zhai Le: "..."
Shen Tang continued: "I can even mix with the central forces. I will give you a tip and backstab them at the critical moment. The force I have been operating in the central part of the country in recent years is indeed small but powerful. I have already prepared to deal with today's situation."
Zhai Le shook his head: "It's useless."
To only mention quality without mentioning quantity is to be a hooligan.
He is not simple-minded back then and will not be easily deceived. Shen Tang wanted to share the spoils with him just because of his family fortune in the central part of the country? Even if he agreed in a daze, the civil and military officials in the court would not agree. Zhai Le took the initiative to propose a ratio.
“June 4th, you are two, I am eight.”
“June 4th, if you can talk, let’s talk, and don’t talk about it.”
"Seven three, you are three, I am seven."
Shen Tang looked at Zhai Le with resentful eyes.
Zhai Le said: "It's useless for you to look at me like this. This dispatch of troops is bound to cause great resistance. The civil and military officials in North Korea and China have been tired of war for a long time, and the people also need time to recover. If there is not enough reward, , Who is willing to take the risk of provoking the central countries?"
Shen Tang asked a key question.
“If it’s 70 or 30 points, which 70 points do you want?”
Under Shen Tang's gaze, Zhai Le took a map from Yu Hai. The lines were simple and he could only see a rough distribution.
“That’s seven points!”
Shen Tang laughed angrily at one glance.
“Why don’t you just stuff a knife into my pillow?”

I went to my grandpa's house a few days ago and he brought me popsicles from the refrigerator. I found that the popsicles were not frozen hard and were in a half-melted state. I guessed that the refrigeration was not working well, and the old refrigerator that had been used for more than ten years should really be retired. It happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I was thinking about replacing my refrigerator. I opened the APP to see the guide, but big data pushed a local government subsidy for trade-in. The last time I bought a refrigerator for renovation, I spent about 6,000 to 7,000 yuan for a similar configuration. This time I searched and found a similar configuration (I didn’t know how to read it, but it was about the same size and function) with 10W+ positive reviews. Taking into account government subsidies, I got a discount in the end. By the time I reached 1500, I had to sigh with emotion at how fast the development was.
