Chapter 644 Long-term considerations
ps: Thanks to "I'm really a fool" for the two deacons who gave 1888 plus a 100 yuan 3876 coins, thank you!!
Deputy General Sima pulled the corner of his mouth, sighed deeply, and licked his lips, then gritted his teeth and said, "General, will you tell everyone why you don't want to be promoted?"
Wang Sancai immediately understood the worries of Deputy General Sima, took a breath and smiled and said, "Probably, or maybe not."
"The general himself can't make up his mind?" Sima asked.
Wang Sancai heard his tone a little anxious and asked back: "Sima Vice General, are you worried about... After I leave, what will happen to you people in the future?"
After hearing that Wang Sancai had expressed his thoughts, Deputy General Sima simply made up his mind and said in one breath: "General, I don't know why your term of office is so short. I just heard about this from David just now. I don't know if General will leave the military headquarters after he leaves. I just want to ask, will you take us with you when General leaves?"
Especially in the last sentence, Deputy General Sima said extremely sincerely. When he saw Wang Sancai suddenly stopped talking, he smiled again and said, "General, we, including myself, were useless cannon fodder before, and those hundred logistics soldiers. Even the old general Shangguan thought they were burdened. If you leave, we are nothing. We may still have to go back to the days when we were not valued. That feeling is really bad..."
"Do you want me to take you all away?" Wang Sancai interrupted him and asked again: "If I leave the military headquarters, will you also go with me?"
"Of course!!" Deputy General Sima's tone was extremely affirmative: "At least I will be the first to go to the military headquarters to ask for resignation!!"
Wang Sancai sighed: "Even if you step down on your own initiative, you will still be a soldier. During the war, do you think the military headquarters will approve your retirement? Even if I ask, why does the military headquarters sell me this favor? They don't owe me."
Deputy General Sima was silent. After a long time, he couldn't help but sigh heavily.
Wang Sancai smiled and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "Even if I leave, you are my former subordinates, and the only subordinates... Don't worry. Your Majesty the Queen will not treat you badly."
Deputy General Sima clenched his fists and sighed in a low voice: "But you are leaving, we are nothing!"
"You just don't believe in yourself?" Wang Sancai heard it and blinked at him.
Deputy Sima did not continue on this topic, but said a little disappointedly: "So. Does General really want to take us with you?"
Wang Sancai shook his head and looked into the distance. His tone was very helpless: "Sima Vice General, it's not that I don't want to take you with me, but that I will not serve in Li Kingdom again after I step down... If I continue to serve in Li Kingdom, I will ask His Majesty the Queen for someone, maybe she will agree."
"What?!" Deputy Sima Sima was extremely shocked.
Wang Sancai took a deep breath: "You also know that I am not from Li, and everyone knows that I am not from Li."
"But everyone can see your contribution to Li Guo!" Deputy General Sima suddenly became excited. He spread his arms and said in a pleading tone: "No one will reject you!! All the whole country, from the people to our generals, love you very much!"
Wang Sancai continued to shake his head. He was the opposite of Sima's deputy general, and his tone was terrifying: "Sima, you misunderstood. I know I have gained your approval, but... I have to go home too."
Wang Sancai smiled gently: "Fallen leaves will always return to their roots, and I can't stay in Liguo all the time."
When he heard Wang Sancai say this, Deputy General Sima couldn't help but feel silent. He lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and smiled reluctantly: "Where is the general's home?"
Wang Sancai smiled but didn't say anything.
After a while, Wang Sancai couldn't help but sigh: "Sima Vice General, do you know the purpose of my visit to Liguo this time? Do you know why I was directly under the queen?"
...
In the palace.
The blue bird sighed faintly and sat on the chair like a collapsed look: "Oh, it would be great if Wang San could understand your hard work."
Aning's tone sounded calm, and she smiled and said, "He will definitely understand."
"Tsk, he didn't hear it, and didn't see it. How could he understand!" The blue bird looked unfair and plucked his cheeks angrily: "This queen and the prime minister are really, they came up with such a shameless idea, hum!"
Aning didn't want to say more on this topic, so he simply changed the topic and said: "I thought they had let you go out because they had a bad intention, but I didn't expect you to hide outside the door all the time."
"What! No!" Bluebird clapped his legs with his hands and explained: "I just ran to Wang Sancai's room to get tea. I put it in his room before he came back yesterday. I just made the tea and didn't expect to hear your conversation. Hey, by the way, there are many things I didn't understand. Aning, can you explain it to me?"
Aning nodded gently: "What did you understand?"
The blue bird bit his lower lip and thought for a while: "I'm surprised. Since the old Prime Minister wants to marry his granddaughter to Wang Sancai, why should he make your official wife become a concubine!"
Anning was angry: "What are you talking about nonsense? My general's wife is just a fake."
"I know, I know! I just wonder why they said that at that time?" The blue bird grabbed Aning's hand like a spoiled person.
Aning sighed, sighing that the blue bird was so simple, but on the surface he also explained patiently: "You think, his little granddaughter is a descendant of the Shangguan family. In terms of status, he is much higher than my fake wife. If she marry Wang Sancai and becomes a concubine, how can his Shangguan family face be?"
The bluebird seemed not that deep in these class concepts, and curled his lips disdainfully: "Then there must be someone who comes first and then!"
Aning almost laughed out loud, but fortunately she held back and did not laugh at the blue bird, but joked: "These things are different from the rules of your brothel."
The blue bird rolled his eyes: "They are really unkind, either!"
When Aning heard this, he seemed to think of something, and sighed: "Oh, what's even more terrifying is still behind."
"Ah?" Bluebird was startled: "What's more terrifying?"
Aning took a deep breath and said, "Let's give an example. Wang Sancai married Shangguan Xiting as his wife. In the short term, he did have a strong backing and sufficient foundation, which will have a great effect on his future development in Li State. However, if Shangguan Xiting gave birth to a child for Wang Sancai, if it was a boy, he would definitely inherit everything from Wang Sancai. Half of the child's body is of the bloodline of the Shangguan family. However, when Wang Sancai's eldest son grew up, in order to consolidate the relationship between the two families, the Shangguan family betrothed a descendant of Shangguan to Wang Sancai's son. Will the bloodline carried by Wang Sancai's grandchildren be closer and closer to the Shangguan family?"
"It seems that this is the reason." The blue bird scratched his head with some distress.
Aning continued: "Then, if five generations continue, or even ten generations... If the 20 generations pass on this, wouldn't Wang Sancai be assimilated by the Shangguan family?"
"Ah! So that's how it is!!" The blue bird was suddenly awakened: "This Shangguan family is so sinister!"
With a sigh, the blue bird couldn't help but look at Aning with admiration: "Aning, you are so amazing! You can even understand these things!!"
Aning sighed again: "I don't think of these. They told me when Wang Sancai came back that he didn't want to be assimilated by the Shangguan family, so he definitely didn't plan to marry Shangguan Xiting."
The blue bird blinked and urged, "Ah, this... he actually thought of it? What else did he tell you?"
"He also told me that when he returns to the defense line, his power will definitely increase, because the Shangguan family and the royal family have seen the power of his hot weapons." Aning sighed heavily: "He is quite glorious on the surface, but in fact, which side of the Shangguan family or the royal family does not want his powerful hot weapons? Wang Sancai has more than half of the time agreed with the queen. You can think about it. With such a long time, he has trained more powerful hot weapons troops. After he leaves office, aren't they still people from the royal family and the Shangguan family?"
"Damn...will Wang Sancai be a wedding dress for others in the end!" Bluebird slapped his white thigh angrily: "These are really sinister. If Wang Sancai leaves, he will train a group of powerful troops for them. If he stays, he will sooner or later be assimilated by the Shangguan family. It's not like leaving, nor is it like staying... Alas!!"
At the end of the day, the blue bird could only sigh heavily.
Aning said with some concern: "But we don't have to worry too much. Wang Sancai told me that no one can keep him if he wants to leave. Moreover, if he doesn't want to leave any benefits to Li Guo, then Li Guo will really not get any benefits."
"What does it mean?" The blue bird looked confused.
Aning shook his head: "I don't know either. I can only see that Wang Sancai is very determined to leave."
"In other words... he will not only not marry Shangguan Xiting, nor will he leave any benefits to Li Guo?" Qingniao wanted to get affirmation.
Aning focuses on the key points.
Bluebird frowned, "But, will this annoy them?"
"This is not something you and I can know." Anning's tone was full of helplessness.
The blue bird suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead and said in surprise: "Oh, by the way! You said that Wang Sancai definitely doesn't plan to marry Shangguan Xiting, right?"
"Yes?" Aning looked at her in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Qingniao grabbed her hand anxiously: "But have you promised the queen to consider it? Do we need to notify Wang Sancai now?" (To be continued...)
