Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 111 Yin versus Yin

"The name is just and right? If the name is right and the word is right, the problem can be solved, then why is the emperor troubled by all kinds of unsatisfactory things as the emperor of the empire? Isn't the third brother granted the title of King Jin? It's not the same as being trapped in Huanggang's mansion. In Jincheng, Li Wufeng didn't have a single soldier stationed, and the third brother's tens of thousands of troops only dared to plunder the grain, so why?" He glanced coldly at his bewildered elder brother, Situ Yushuang hated that iron could not be made into steel The taste: "Without him, the strength is not good enough. It can be seen that the status of the name needs the backing of strength. Without strength, no matter how righteous the name is, it will not help."

After pondering for a while, Situ Yushuang said again: "Let Li Wufeng bear the title of King Qin, just to let the world know that Li Wufeng is still a servant of the Situ family. Under such a glorious and supreme gift, if he has other ambitions, it will also allow the scholars of the world to see his true face, and make him fall into an unjust situation.”

Seeing Situ Lang looking at her with disbelief, Situ Yushuang could only sigh lightly and added with a touch of consolation: "Of course, as my little sister said just now, fame and righteousness require strength." As a backing, if Li Wufeng really reaches that step, the younger sister is also not sure how much restrictions and restrictions this title will have on him. But as long as it can give him an extra layer of restraint, it is better than nothing."

Silently chewing on the words of the beauty in the lake green palace attire, Situ Lang fell into deep thought. At the beginning, Li Wufeng was appointed King of Qin because most of the empire had already been brought into his own hands. In order to fight against his elder brother who had always threatened him the most, he had to recruit Li Wufeng as his backing. Serving his own life, making him the King of Qin now would only fuel his arrogance. However, what the other party said is indeed reasonable. After Li Wufeng took up the post of the Protector of the Western Frontier Metropolitan Government, it doesn't matter much whether he has the title of King Qin, and he can't spit out the food that fell into his mouth. This title is tied to him, and it can only be regarded as comfort.

Situ Yutang, who was lying on the embroidered bed, could not fall asleep for a long time, not because of returning to his hometown, but because the disputes with his brother and the thirteenth sister were still lingering in his mind during the day. It is impossible to change the stereotype, and it is even more difficult to be a human being in the middle of this crack.

Unknowingly, my thoughts went back to what Wufeng said to me in Hanzhong that night. Could it be that the empire is really going to sunset? Is it true that the Situ family can no longer continue their rule? From Yueyang, Huanggang to Jiujiang and Zhongzhou, although what they saw and heard was just glimpses, the shocking facts were indisputable, like the poison of abscesses that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and had already infiltrated every part of the internal organs of the empire. The corruption of the officials, the weakness of the army, the extravagance and corruption of the nobles, all symbolize that this once glorious empire is dying, and it is completely relying on inertia to move forward. Fallen to ruins.

Reminiscent of the refugees who swarmed in from Heshuo when I entered the city, they were blocked by the army thirty miles away from the city and were not allowed to enter. Triggering conflicts, such a situation allows anyone to predict the extent to which the empire will decline. With what he saw and heard in the Northwest and Kansai, Situ Yutang felt more and more that his fiancé was extraordinary. With the rapid economic development of the Northwest, the nomadic barbarians in the eyes of the empire bowed their heads in front of him, and the recovery of Kansai Tiannan was uneventful. All kinds of things that are impossible in the eyes of the empire are a piece of cake in his hands, and he can predict the drought in the Eastern Continent this year like a prophet, and he was able to hoard a large amount of food at the beginning of the year. and Northern Luzon to purchase grain. Now I am afraid that he is the only real winner in the entire empire and even the Eastern Continent. There is enough food in the territory, and there is even a large amount of surplus food to help the surrounding areas. Food has become a weight in his hands that is better than the army. Had to compromise and bow his head in front of his request.

Gently put on clothes and got up, Situ Yutang pushed the door out, the stars outside the door were shining brightly, and the flowers in the garden were fragrant, looking up at the vast starry sky, Situ Yutang didn't know whether he should be proud of his fiancé's extraordinary achievements It is still necessary to be sad for the decline of the Situ family. The rise of the Northwest seems to symbolize the decline of the empire. The irreconcilability of the two seems to determine that the seventeenth princess of the empire will always live in the torment of this contradiction.

"Bastard! Who allowed them to publish this news?! What are the General Administration of the Interior and the Press and Publication Administration doing?!" Situ Lang, who was furious, had long since lost his gloomy past. The inkstone was knocked down by His Majesty the Emperor in a rage, and it fell to pieces. The Nine Profound Sanji Ink was splashed in the center of the hall like an oolong with teeth and claws, which was extremely glaring, symbolizing His Majesty's mood at this time.

On the imperial case, today’s newspaper is still lying there quietly. The headline under the masthead is a line of bold bold characters: "The Imperial Western Frontier Protectorate has reached an agreement with the Imperial Strategic Reserve Bureau. The Western Frontier Protectorate will Provide three million tans of wheat and two million tans of rice to the Imperial Strategic Reserve Bureau within one month at a price lower than half the market price!"

After this big headline, there are some small headlines: "The price of grain in the imperial capital dropped immediately, and grain merchants shipped goods one after another", "The grain market is changing, and several major merchants joined forces to deal with it."

Situ Lang never imagined that Li Wufeng would do this to him. Just one day after the postal news that conferred the title of King Qin and agreed to establish the Protectorate of the Western Xinjiang Metropolis, all the major newspapers in the imperial capital had already known that Li Wufeng was going to The central government of the empire provided a large amount of cheap grain to ensure the food supply of the imperial capital. This not only destroyed its own plan to hoard some grain, but also made the people of the imperial capital applaud Li Wufeng's "feat". Even those big nobles who have never been too cold about Li Wufeng expressed their appreciation for Li Wufeng's behavior for the first time, thinking that he took the overall situation into consideration and was really the pillar of the empire, but just the day before, they united against him He named Li Wufeng King of Qin.

The only victim is yourself! Not only paid a lot of gold coins in vain, but also made a free publicity for Li Wufeng's charitable deeds, but although the food was obtained, it could not make a profit, and had to be kept to prepare for the future food shortage.

Seeing His Majesty's face was livid, the veins on his neck were bursting, and the flames in his eyes seemed to melt all the ministers in the palace, and all the ministers were silent. If you are not careful, you will burn yourself.

"Oh? Why are you all dumb? Sidon, how did your internal affairs department carry out news censorship? Why did such a major event be published and reported without approval?" The best candidate in Lang's mind, but in order to balance the sentiments of the conservative nobles in the imperial capital, and Sidon's ability to adapt to the wind, Situ Lang reluctantly accepted this candidate. Now that there is such a big mistake, why? Can Situ Lang be kept from burning with anger.

"Your Majesty, this • • • • • • How could such good news arouse His Majesty's fury? He couldn't understand the mystery of it. Not only he, but even the other ministers in the palace couldn't figure out why His Majesty was furious because of this matter, even those It is not worthy of His Majesty's fury that the news media fabricated news.

Seeing the bewildered expressions on the faces of the ministers, Situ Lang also knew that he had lost his composure. Of course, these people couldn't understand his own difficulties, but this was not humane, so he could only glance around viciously. Your Highness is a group of idiots who only know about promises.

"Your Majesty, I think it would be a great thing for His Royal Highness King Qin to provide food to the empire at a low price. It is not clear whether this news is true, but I believe that these media are unlikely to release it without definite news. In addition, according to reports, there seems to be a possibility of further providing cheap food on the side of the Xijiang Metropolitan Protectorate. That's right, it's a great thing no matter from which aspect, I don't understand why Your Majesty is so furious?" Finally, Minister of Agriculture Qin Yuedong came out to speak, and as a veteran of several dynasties, he was probably the only one who could speak. Dare to question at this time.

"Uh, Qin Aiqing~IndoMTL.com~ this ••••••" Situ Lang didn't know how to tell the other party and His Highness The ministers explained the reason for their rage. This damned Li Wufeng played with himself in the palm of his hand, but he made himself suffer, "Qin Aiqing, the news is indeed true. Uh, I'm just a little bit annoyed that these media are rushing ahead of me." Let me disclose this news worthy of celebration. I originally wanted to save this news and announce it to the public after the Imperial Strategic Reserve Bureau and the Xijiang Metropolitan Protectorate reached the second phase of the agreement, but I didn't expect it to disappoint me so much."

"Oh? Your Majesty means that the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Protectorate will also conduct the second phase of negotiations with the Imperial Strategic Reserve Bureau on the food issue?" Almost all the ministers' ears were pricked up. Originally, the first phase was 5 million The purchase of stone grain has already kept everyone in the dark, and now there is still a second phase of negotiations, how can these ministers not be excited?

"Yes, according to the letter submitted to me by my Seventeenth Sister, the King of Qin is deeply disturbed by the food shortage suffered by the people of the imperial capital, and is planning to complete the first transaction with the Imperial Strategic Reserve Bureau In three months, they will sell five million dans of grain to the Imperial Strategic Reserve Bureau at the same price to ensure the food supply for the people in the imperial capital. It is really admirable that the King of Qin understands the difficulties of the empire." Situ Lang's expression turned pale at this time He has completely returned to normal, with a bright smile on his face, but he is secretly ruthless in his heart, Li Wufeng, you bastard, dare to deceive me, then don't blame me for being rude, don't think that the position of King Qin and the guardian of the Western Xinjiang The government is so good, a forged letter will force you to obediently send another five million dans of food!
