Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 17 Peer
Standing by the window sill, Sophia with a complicated heart watched the exhausted girl walk into the room. The lights were slightly turned on, and the beautiful figure looked a little lonely and helpless under the projection of the light. Sighing slightly, Sophia found that her position in this situation was getting more and more awkward. Yushuang didn't hide anything from herself. Maybe she believed in herself too much. Since the Jinzhong incident two months ago, she After getting sick, Sophia got busy again more than a month ago, and Sophia knew that her elder sister must be engaged in a new round of work, and most of the affairs she was engaged in were aimed at Wufeng, which made Sophia Feel bitter.
In fact, it proved that Sophia's deduction was completely correct. From the few words between Yushuang and her expression and tone, Sophia could know that the matter promoted by Yushuang had a better result, until the matter was completely successful, Sophia Only then did she vaguely know that under Yushuang's impetus, her two elder brothers had finally reached a joint agreement, and even Sophia, who was mentally prepared, couldn't help but be surprised.
What does the combination of Situ Tai and Situ Biao mean? Everyone in the empire knows this. Although Sophia is not from the empire, she has lived in Situ Yushuang's mansion for so many years. Know the hidden meaning behind this. Sophia was even more startled when Situ Yushuang ostentatiously talked about financiers from the imperial capital and the Five Lakes region, as well as great aristocrats and businessmen uniting to provide Situ Tai with huge financial and material assistance.
With Yushuang trusting herself so much, it is naturally impossible for Sophia to disclose this news to Wufeng, but Sophia also feels that the other party is not afraid of her leaking the news to Wufeng. layers of meaning. After thinking about it, there is no need to cover up this kind of thing at this stage, not to mention that it is impossible for Wufeng to be ignorant of this kind of thing. It's just that Sophia didn't expect that the two closest to her in the empire would go further and further on this road, and the conflict between the two seemed to be forever irreconcilable.
Gently pushed open the other party's door, the room was filled with milky yellow hues, but the ground was lined with small pieces of mahogany to form a pattern of peonies in unison, starting from the jade-yellow pattern carved with dark flowers. Several layers of dreamlike veils hung from the dust, dividing this big house into a large half and a small half. A black jade pipa of strange and ancient form hangs obliquely; a small brass tripod is emitting sandalwood incense; There is a glossy black lacquered animal-leg desk with the Four Treasures of the Study on it. The two rows of bookshelves are densely packed with thread-bound books, and there are even a few rolled up scrolls. Another fresh embroidered peony is on the two bookshelves. In the middle of the room, from here, the small half of the room facing the heavy veil is obviously the place where beautiful women seek their dreams!
Resting her chin with her hands and leaning against the desk, the girl was tired and couldn't hide the joy in her eyes. Although her body felt a bit overwhelmed by the busy time, the effect she had achieved was obvious. Yes, especially the formation of the united front of the Situ family is an unbelievable opportunity. When many nobles are cheering, who knows that she has worked so hard to negotiate peace during this period of time, but she doesn't care about these false names , as long as you can achieve your wish is enough.
I have done my best to get things to this point. Although there are still some disharmonious factors mixed in, everything cannot be perfect. All parties have their own plans. It is enough for them to clearly understand who the current enemy is and what their top priority is, so that they can take correct countermeasures. As for where the relationship between them will develop in the future, and whether they will meet each other in battle, those are not important. As long as they can defeat the behemoth of Xijiang and completely disintegrate it, who will own the empire in the future? It doesn't matter if it's inherited, since it's all under the control of the descendants of the Situ family anyway, so what does it matter?
The sound of small footsteps interrupted the girl's thoughts, and she didn't need to guess to know that it was her girl who had been a little unstable these days. Of course, Situ Yushuang knew why this girl who had something to do with Li Wufeng was so upset Ning, the Situ family's alliance poses an unprecedented threat to Li Wufeng. This is equivalent to gathering the original upper-level power of the entire empire. This completely dispelled Li Wufeng's idea of trying to win over the upper-class nobles of the empire. As for the power that the Zhu family can gather compared to the upper-class nobles of the entire empire, it is really insignificant. Perhaps the thing that gave Li Wufeng a little comfort was the * of the frozen rose. Thinking of this, Situ Yushuang didn't realize that there was more or less a trace of jealousy and sourness in her emotions.
"Sister is back?" "Sister is here?"
The insignificant greeting kicked off the opening remarks. Sophia's mood was a little complicated. It was difficult for her to use any language to evaluate Situ Yushuang's actions. It might be too much to say that she was doing it for her own selfishness. In the middle, she didn't get anything, except for some compliments, I'm afraid as a woman, she can't get more from it. It seems that she is too great for the inheritance of the Tanghe Empire, and the interests of the empire are in the hands of Situ Tai It is impossible to keep betraying her without knowing it. The Dorton people, the Japanese people, and now the Machihan people are added. These people are like jackals salivating next to a piece of fat, supporting the outbreak and expansion of the imperial civil war. It's what they are most willing to do. Sister Yushuang can't fail to see this, but why is she so persistent in supporting her brothers to join forces to fight a battle that is not very sure? Could it be that she doesn't know that the Situ family's united front really defeated Xijiang, and the consequences may be even more serious. The empire is no longer able to deal with the bites of those wolves from the outside world.
"Looking at my sister's expression, it seems like I'm done with my work?"
"Well, it's almost over. My sister can relax and rest for a while. The rest is a matter between their men." Situ Yushuang glanced at the other party. The reason for being busy for a while was revealed to the other party, and she didn't care if Li Wufeng knew about it. She didn't expect that although her sister was a little hesitant, she didn't disclose the news to Li Wufeng as she was worried about. This made Situ Yushuang feel both Rejoiced, but also a little ashamed. But seeing Sophia's hesitant expression, Situ Yushuang realized that her sister might have something important to communicate with her tonight.
After hesitating for a while, Sophia decided to tell the whole story in her heart. She had a feeling that she couldn't express it. As the road got farther and farther, she felt that it was necessary for her to remind the other party, whether in public or private, that her attitude towards things should not be too paranoid.
"Sister, I've been bored with some things in my heart for a long time. I shouldn't have said these things when I was a younger sister, but thanks to my sister's perseverance over the years, my sister can have a warm home when she is in the most difficult time. Keep it in mind, following my sister these years has gained a lot of knowledge, and I know the dangers of the world, but the girl feels more and more that all the efforts my sister has made recently actually deviate from the current development direction of the Eastern Continent. If this continues, not only It will bring the empire into a state of destruction and fragmentation, and it will also gradually put the Situ family in a dangerous situation."
"Oh? If you have any opinions, you may wish to let my sister listen~IndoMTL.com~My sister is too busy these days, and there are many things that I don't have time to think about. If my sister can point out the mistakes for my sister, I would like to ask for it. "It seems that there is some interest in it. Situ Yushuang is not unhappy because of the harsh topic of the other party. In fact, before pushing the two brothers to join forces, she once had conflicts and hesitated whether to cooperate with Situ Tai. .
Situ Tai has gone a long way on the mainland where he sold the imperial sovereignty for his own interests. The cruel reality forced him to seek financial assistance if he wanted to maintain such a large army. The policy made him completely lose credibility among the business class in these two places. Almost no businessmen are willing to cooperate with him. The business class would rather go away to seek development than become a hostage in his hands. There are only two ways to maintain it, internal and external, but the support provided by the financial aristocrats of the imperial capital is limited. Before the support of the nobles and gentry of the imperial capital is fully won, the financial aristocrats cannot provide him with unlimited funds. The way out seems to be in the hands of the Dortons and the Japanese, who have been doing well. The engagement with Princess Cavelin seems to be an additional reason for the Dortons to provide financial assistance. As for the Japanese, the coastal islands of the empire have been occupied by them. It seemed to be a natural excuse for Situ Tai to bargain.
"Sister, maybe my sister's words are not very pleasant to listen to, but my sister still keeps talking." Sophia's face was already extremely serious at this time, and her tone became much slower. "In my sister's mind, the Situ family and the Tang Dynasty Who is more important, the River Empire? Who is more important, the Tang River Empire or the Tang Clan?"
