Chapter 82 The Sun and Moon Fight for Glory (4)
"Lucky is also a kind of strength. So, intuition tells me that it is best not to be enemies with you. The third and most important point - I have to say that you chose the best gift giver." Zhanghua said this, smiled bitterly and said sadly, "You know that I can't bear to refuse Xue Cai's request. What's more,... I am the one who is now... Xiao Xue, Cai."
Ruyi covered her mouth. Although she didn't dare to speak anymore, she tried her best to open her eyes to express her dissatisfaction.
Zhanghua didn't look at him, but looked at Xue Cai outside the screen - the skeleton-shaped child slung his head with his hands behind his back, standing in a standard slave posture, with his messy bangs hanging down, covering his eyes, so he couldn't see the expression on his face.
The first meeting of Xue Cai appeared in his mind—
The winter rain is hazy and the cold is chilly. The six-year-old boy in white comes slowly through the corridor, and everything in the world is bright because of him.
And now, only a year has passed.
It's only been a year.
Zhanghua seemed to see her childhood self from Xue Cai.
This is... the pupa turns into a butterfly.
Just then, Ji Ying suddenly asked, "Xiao Cai, are you willing to leave with King Yan?"
Zhanghua was stunned and frowned slightly, and could not grasp the true intention of Ji Ying's words.
Ji Ying said again: "As long as you want, I will let you go."
Zhanghua immediately looked at Xue Cai, and couldn't help but feel some expectations in his heart. If he could take Xue Cai back on this trip, it would be a great reward.
However, Xue Cai refused: "No."
Zhanghua couldn't help asking, "Why?"
"Because... there is a short man I hate around His Majesty." Xue Cai turned to Ruyi and raised his eyebrows and smiled maliciously.
Ruyi jumped up immediately after being angry: "What?! Your Majesty! He did it on purpose! He used me as an excuse, I, I, I, I, I, obviously taller than him..."
Zhanghua sighed in his heart.
"And," Xue Cai said, "for a slave, a master who goes against his word is far more difficult to serve than a master who is a little favored."
Zhanghua frowned: "What did you say?"
"Previously, my master asked: Your Majesty agrees? Your Majesty replied with the word "Yeah". In other words, Your Majesty has made it clear that he will agree with my master's request - any request. However, when he heard that my master asked not only to be out of the matter, but also to support someone, Your Majesty began to hesitate, even looking at him around..." Xue Cai said this, and smiled coldly, "I know what I saw. Although my master has become more and more demanding, I don't joke. Compared with each other, it is easy to get the answer, right?"
Zhanghua was speechless.
Ruyi immediately protected her master and shouted eagerly: "Bold Xue Cai! How dare she slander my Majesty like this! It is a death sentence to contradict Tianwei! People come and take him down for me!"
After shouting, I remembered that this place was not the territory of Yan State, but it was okay, there must be Qianniuwei Anmen around.
Ruyi was full of confidence and raised her voice: "Comeone is here-"
As a result, there was silence everywhere, and Qianniuwei's Ancient Ministry did not jump out to respond.
Ruyi was stunned for a moment, turned to Zhanghua and said, "Your Majesty..."
Jixiang shook his head at him. Ruyi then realized that Zhanghua was extremely silent. He half-hung his eyes, looked at the bowl in the box, and then looked at Xue Cai, feeling a sense of powerless grief.
Why is Your Majesty sad? For Xue Cai, or... for Xie Changyan? Or, is it that there are both? Because he can't save Xue Cai, nor can he save Xie Changyan...?
Ruyi bit her lip and stopped talking.
Jixiang quietly moved closer to him and patted his shoulder in a sympathetic manner.
Zhanghua didn't say anything, and no one else spoke anymore. The cottage with dim light and shadow suddenly became very quiet.
In the quiet, there is something that is subtly taken away and I will see it.
Finally, Zhanghua raised one hand, rubbed his eyebrows, and smiled softly, sighing while laughing: "Okay, what a Qi'aohou."
Ji Ying still had no expression.
Zhanghua stared at the bowl as if he wanted to burn a hole: "Say, who do you want me to support?"
"Let's go—" He Yi interrupted, "Qi'aohou is indeed amazing. Not only is he good at strategizing and strategizing, but he is even better at subjugating slaves. Such a proud little Bingli, who is known to the world, has been trained by you to obey, even give up freedom, and help you turn your head and bite your benefactor. It's interesting and interesting."
Ruyi felt warm in her heart and suddenly felt that King Yi was worthy of being the one recommended by His Majesty. He would show true feelings at the critical moment!
Xue Cai said lightly: "The grace of saving lives is unforgettable. However, it is related to the country, all the interests of the four countries, and the safety of the people in the world. Xue Cai dares not be biased against the world with his personal feelings. Similarly, Your Majesty, you can laugh at me, but you cannot laugh at current affairs."
He Yi sneered: "Okay, what a little Xue Cai who cares about the world. He really has the power to be your ruler. If you put the word "society" on the word "society" and you will look righteous."
That's right! That's it! It's so good! Ruyi couldn't help but slap her in her heart.
Xue Cai said: "Since the two Majesties are willing to come here, it means that you are mentally prepared to negotiate with us. We have offered conditions. You are still in a position and laughed at our hypocrisy and dirty side. Let me ask, what did the two do before this civil unrest break out? One did a private matter in the name of congratulating the birthday; the other made a secret deal with Prince Cheng San - both of them had clearly foresaw this chaos, one was standing by and the other was fueling the fire. The bystanders did not value the interests, but did not look down on the eyes of the interests; those who helped the fire were taking advantage of the situation, so why should they say that businessmen should keep honest? Who is more hypocritical?"
This young child speaks in a very annoying way! You know nothing! Our Majesty is standing by and not looking at the little profits of flies? Our Majesty is that, that is... Ruyi glanced at Zhanghua's silent face and sighed in her heart: Forget it, I can't say it.
Xue Cai continued to talk nonstop: "Since it is all interests, there is nothing that cannot be discussed. Although King Yan looks down on the small country in desert islands, he doesn't want to know the secret and forging iron smelting technology of Cheng Guo? In addition to being a huge country, Yan is also because he is humbly accepting the strengths of the Chinese gatherings and can be self-reliant, but it is definitely not stubborn and arrogant. The reason why Yiguo's vendors can spread all over the world, where there is sunshine, there are shops in Yiguo. Isn't it a bit by weighing gains and losses? Now that you have given up a 70% reduction rate here, you may give up more. Build a pond and accumulate water for thousands of days; breaking the dike and the mountain torrent is a flood, but it is a flood. Your Majesty Yi really doesn't care?"
Ruyi rolled her eyes and continued in her heart: We really don’t want to know the iron smelting technique, thank you... but it’s hard to say, at least Gongshuf must want to know, and Xie Changyan... maybe he wants to know too. Alas!
When Xue Cai said this, he suddenly remained silent for a while before he said in a deep voice again: "The rebellion in Cheng's country for the throne is just a thought for us. But for the people of Cheng's country, it is likely that his wife and children will be separated, and his country will be destroyed and his family will be destroyed... The power of the emperor is not reflected in the 'one word destroying the world', but - 'one word saves the people'."
Zhanghua's eyebrows moved, as if they were moved by the last sentence, but he still stared at the bowl without saying a word.
Finally, He Yi spoke, "What do you want to do?"
"It's very simple." This time, it was finally Ji Ying's turn to speak, "Slay the mess with a quick knife."
"How to kill?"
"The power of the Three Kingdoms of Qi quickly supported a prince grandson of Cheng Kingdom to become the next King of Cheng, executed the rebel party and quelled civil strife."
Zhanghua finally looked away from the bowl and looked at Ji Ying: "Who do you want to support?"
He Yi snorted: "It must be Yi Fei, otherwise why would he have to work so much?"
"Yi Fei is indeed a character. He seems absurd on the surface, but he has great ambitions. Unfortunately, he is too smart and too willful. With his strength, he does not need to pretend to be crazy, but he insists on being arrogant, or is a maverick. Such a person can be the best famous scholar, but he must not be an emperor. The emperor..." Zhanghua said this, narrowed his eyes slightly, "You must be willing to give up and give up some of his characteristics. If you don't mean, you can't set an example. Therefore, if you let him be the King of Cheng, it is hard to imagine what the customs of Cheng Country will be in the future."
He Yi said: "Hanqi is even worse! With his warlike nature, as Queen Cheng, he will be a Minggong again. Fighting frequently will cause trouble for us?"
Zhanghua said: "Yes, Hanqi will never do it."
He Yi said: "Then only Lin Su is left. Although he is a little mediocre and cowardly, and in poor health, after becoming an emperor, although it is useless to the people, it will not become a disaster. Well, just choose him, so we will all be more worried, and our wife will live a peaceful life for ten years."
Zhanghua stared at Ji Ying, and he knew very well that Lin Su could not be able to do so.
Sure enough, Ji Ying smiled and said leisurely: "No."
He Yi's voice suddenly felt a little angry: "What do you want?"
"Linsu is absolutely unavailable."
He Yi and Zhanghua asked at the same time: "Why?"
"Because he will die soon." A cold voice bloomed in the air, but it was like a thunder striking down, shaking the sky and the earth.
Zhanghua slowly closed his eyes - waited for a night, and finally waited for the main person!
A "cuckling" sound came from the chair in the center of the hall, and the lights slowly rose.
Ruyi opened her eyes wide in horror and found that it was not the lights rising, but the chairs rising, and the lights on the chairs were getting higher and higher. As the lights were rising, the bigger the place they were illuminating, and the brighter the room became.
