Chapter 212 Price(2/2)
The two-headed dragon bowed and acted as a good master: "King Zhang, who else can there be?"
"Zhang Xianzhong?" Zhang Xianzhong had already become emperor at that time, but in most cases, people were still called kings. The two-headed dragon was originally from Sichuan. When he said this, Guan Erye naturally thought of Zhang Xianzhong first.
"It's Sa."
"I can't control his affairs, please leave quickly..."
Isn't this a nonsense? Zhang Xianzhong and Wu Sangui are fighting each other. The things here are often thousands of troops. Guan Erye's connections are at most just to mediate the grievances in the world, and at most to clear the place. How can such a thing be settled?
"I don't care about it. I am the king's personal guard. This time I come here to meet Zhongcheng. The second grandfather knows such things, and it's not easy for others to see." The double-headed dragon whispered: "I also know some of the details of the second grandfather, and I'm just going to the death army..."
"It's useless to understand anyone. Zhang Xianzhong and Zhongcheng Bo, are they involved in their affairs? I will put on a banquet like you and me? After a while, I will have a banquet. You can eat and drink and leave quickly. No matter what you want to do, please invite Gao Ming."
"I don't want to do anything with my second grandfather. As long as my second grandfather sends a letter to my Zhongsheng Bo himself, there is a lot of involvement here, and I can't trust others. I can only find my second grandfather..."
"Send a letter, what kind of letter? If I only send one letter, maybe I can do it." The second master is very clear about what his temper is, and since he said so, he would agree.
The two-headed dragon took off his sleeve and saw a wound on his arm. He took a knife and opened the wound and found a small seal from the dripping flesh and blood: "This is a letter. The second grandfather thought of a way to hand it to the Zhongcheng Bo..."
Erye has also seen such confidentiality methods as Ruzi, but he did not feel that it was so bizarre: "Can I read this letter?"
"No, I haven't seen it."
"If you don't watch it, don't watch it, isn't it even rare?"
The two-headed dragon put on her clothes and said seriously: "No matter whether it is done or not, the second master will bring me the loyal uncle's reply. Xie Cheng can say it..."
"Get out, I want to be greedy for you Xie Cheng, you died long ago. Can you still talk about this at my house now?"
"I don't worry, second master."
It was not until late at night on the moon that Mr. Guan Er came back from work, and a woman in red was following behind him.
"Mr. Matchmaker?"
Although Hongniangzi was not a unit of the army to die and was not nominally under the jurisdiction of Li Si, the relationship between the two was very close, especially Hongniangzi's Bailian Society, which can be regarded as the peripheral force of the army to die.
"I didn't bring back the reply from Dashen, but I brought the Hongniang and followed you back. She could decide if there was anything she could do."
"Xie Erye." The two-headed dragon put the small bag on the table: "This is the money paid by the second master back then. Let's buy a pair of shoes for his daughter and sister-in-law."
You don’t need to look at it and you will know that there must be something gold and silver in the bag. Not to mention buying shoes, it is enough to buy a house.
"Take your people with you, let's go." Hong Niangzi was very familiar with the style of these people in the martial arts world, and what he emphasized was to be rewarded with water.
"This Zhang Xianzhong is so smart." Li Si lit the secret letter on the candlelight and said calmly: "It turns out that he is a bandit, and he is too naive to think."
After the study, the two of them naturally said to Princess Changping, who recorded the book.
On weekdays, Princess Changping recorded whatever Li Si said, and then sorted it out and modified it. It was rare to say a word all day long. Not to mention what it was like when you were tangled with each other, you became more and more cold, like a simple word recording machine.
"Does Zhang Xianzhong want to join forces with Zhongsheng Bo to win Wu Sangui?"
The current situation is obvious. The army to die is hoarding a large amount of supplies in Shanxi, and even mobilized the new army of firearms to the western front to strengthen Shanxi's military strength. Even a fool can see that he is going to attack Wu Sangui.
Zhang Xianzhong, who was beaten by Wu Sangui, would have been hiding everywhere and in Tibet, had it not been for the remnants of the two lakes' rebellion troops, who would have been the ghost under Wu Sangui's sword. Even ordinary people could see that there was a ghost of loyalty here fanning the flames. Zhang Xianzhong naturally understood who was the main force.
There must be a battle between the Dead Army and Wu Sangui, and it will be a battle that determines the overlordship.
No matter how you look at it, Wu Sangui was at a disadvantage and would definitely not be able to compete with the loyal Bo, who was strong and powerful.
Zhang Xianzhong is indeed smart enough. He doesn't want to get a share of the pie in the killing army, but wants to protect himself.
When fighting Haoge, Wu Sangui and Zhang Xianzhong maintained a certain tacit understanding. Although there was no alliance, the battle between the north and the south was still very good.
There has never been a friend forever. After Haoge saw that the four routes were cut off, he threw his face into Wu Sangui. In order to prevent the attack of the dead army and to gain a broader rear and room for maneuver, Wu Sangui immediately put a knife on his former comrade Zhang Xianzhong.
Since Wu Sangui was against the Qing Dynasty, he was still holding the banner of Emperor Daxing, and he was also a minister of the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally suppressed a rebel party like Zhang Xianzhong.
In fact, everyone knows that the root of the statement is to compete for territory and expand its strength, and it has nothing to do with quelling the rebellion. Zhang Xianzhong has been in chaos for more than a year or two, so what has Wu Sangui done?
Now, the army to die is secretly supporting the rebel army and indirectly dragging Wu Sangui. Although the army to die is not considered Zhang Xianzhong's friendly army, it is not at least considered an enemy.
But Li Si and Zhang Xianzhong knew very well that this relationship would not last long. As long as they dealt with Wu Sangui, the next goal they had to attack would definitely be Zhang Xianzhong.
This has nothing to do with the loyalty of the court, nor has it to do with the once common enemies. It is purely for the sake of interests, or simply for the sake of hegemony.
Although I didn't read the content of the secret letter, with Princess Changping's cleverness, I could come up with a few things.
Zhang Xianzhong is likely to have some degree of coordination in seeking to achieve a certain degree of coordination with the army to die. Such nonsense as jointly attacking Wu Sangui is to fool a three-year-old baby. In the final analysis, it is to protect himself and avoid becoming the next target of the army to die.
"Does Zhang Xianzhong's conditions require the maintenance of the current situation in Sichuan?" Princess Changping said without raising her head: "Zhang Xianzhong is indeed a bandit. She thought that Zhongsheng Bo was using a routine of fighting for hegemony with far and near, and it seems that his demise is not far away."
Li Si really didn't want to do the battle for hegemony, but established a solid rear, and then used the means of large-scale export of war to inspire people's adventurous spirit, so that people could fully understand and support the new jungle law. The premise of doing this is to have a unified foundation, which can only have one thought and one voice. As for Jiangnan, although they can make different voices to do different careers, it is just a test field.
Although he lives in the same room with Princess Changping, and is a lonely man and a widow, the words he says in one day do not exceed ten sentences: "If Your Highness were a man, he might have been a great treasure long ago, but that would not be a good thing. If the saints had not produced this set of killing weapons for the people today, no such great emperor would have been able to protect Jiangnan."
Princess Changping understood Li Si's meaning very well. Even if she was really a man, even if she really replaced Xingwu as the emperor of Jiangnan, she would definitely have to prepare for the great cause of unification. In this case, the biggest possibility was that she was destroyed by the army to die first.
In fact, even if Princess Changping is so smart, she can't guess how powerful the simple word "folk" is, which makes Li Si so afraid.
"You and I are husband and wife..." This is the first time Princess Changping used the word "couple". Although the close relationship between the two and the couple has nothing to do with each other, Princess Changping said so: "Can Zhongsheng Bo let me know what deterrent power of the people? Let Zhongsheng Bo be so afraid?"
"It's not a fear, how can I say it?" Li Si increasingly regarded Princess Changping as a friend who could be honest, but it was not a friend, but it was definitely not an enemy. More importantly, Li Si really hoped that Jiangnan could make the path of people-oriented. If he really wanted to make it through, it would be the best situation for everyone to be happy: "It's just a rat to be afraid of weapons. Jiangnan's people-oriented road is definitely right. If he can make it through, he will never be able to destroy any kind of force. Not to mention foreign enemies like the Tatars, even when facing the power of people-oriented, he will be powerless."
"Why didn't the loyal master take the path of people-oriented in Jiangnan..."
"No, I am very happy to see Jiangnan understand the path of the people-oriented. If I can really reach that point, the current priest will be the only hero I have seen in three thousand years." Li Si knew that what he said was untrue: "This is not a matter between the priest and me, but the choice of this nation. No matter what, I must do my best to guard this intersection for Jiangnan. Although they may not be able to go through, even if they go through, they will go in a zigzag and lose their original appearance..."
"I can't see these things, nor can I understand them. Loyal Bo is as wise as the sea and is as predicted as God. From the perspective of Loyal Bo, how many things are possible for Jiangnan to become the people?"
"How many?" Li Si laughed: "It's amazing to have a success, how many things can you talk about? If there is no major change in Jiangnan and the whole country is unmoved by external forces, there may be a 10% hope."
"Yizheng?" Princess Changping lowered her head and said nothing. The hope of 10% is almost the same as not. If the road to the people-oriented road in Jiangnan cannot be completed at the end, the army to die will definitely intervene. Then it will be a war, that is, the time when the Ming Dynasty changes.
"Don't underestimate this hope. Even if it's only 10%, it's definitely worth a try." Li Si smiled and said, "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about Jiangnan. These things are not that simple. If there is no major change, you won't be able to see anything without thirty or fifty years..."
"Thirty or fifty years..." Princess Changping felt relieved. What might happen if such a long time was? It has only been a few years since Jiashen, such a big change has occurred. After thirty or fifty years, the emperor's younger brother might have really shown some great talent and strategy.
"Your Highness Zhaoren has betrothed to the Huang family."
The little princess Zhaoren, when the Jiashen thieves were on the rise, was rescued by Li Si from the millions of thieves, and now the little girl is about to get married.
Huang Degong and Huang Shuai were also considered an important official of the Xingwu court, especially the overall strength of the military troops in his hands was still above the Beijing camp. He betrothed Zhao Ren to the Huang family, which actually had the same political marriage.
"I heard from the King of Tang," Princess Changping said calmly: "My sister is still very young, and it will not be too late to get married in three to five years. But this is the case with the women of the Tian family. You can't make decisions about this kind of thing..."
A little bit of a serene thought flashed, and Princess Changping didn't care anymore: "The three-year period of loyal uncle is coming, when will I prepare for the wedding?"
The so-called three-year period must be a marriage with Ezi. As Li Si’s nominal wife, he had no feelings for him when talking about this matter, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
According to Li Si, when she got married to Ezi, she married the princess, but she knew in her heart that Princess Changping had no feelings about this kind of thing.
"I'll send a letter to Ezi. It's almost time to get married. Move Mrs. Lu and Ezi back to Daoba Village... Alas, that's it..."
Princess Changping, who has never been sarcastic, suddenly laughed "Puchi": "It turns out that Bo Zhongcheng is the same as me, and has long been indifferent to the marriage. A little girl like Ezi still thinks about this matter so beautiful and perfect. Haha, Bo Zhongcheng is the same as me... Haha, if you find a woman who is in love in the future, should you also include it in the room?"
With Princess Changping's noble status, when talking about such a thing, there is no need to avoid or hide it at all. Instead, she smiles happily. Just like a bald man saw the bald head, not only did he not feel the same sympathy, but he felt that the other party's flaws were very funny.
Human bad nature.
"Friendship with love? What does your Highness believe in love with love?" Li Si laughed dryly: "In fact, it's just that. What kind of love with love or not is not that important? There are many things to do in this life, and there is not so much leisure to think about these?"
Ezi is simple and thinks little. If you like to be with your fourth uncle, you will be together for the rest of your life. Ezi will never understand what Li Si thinks, and even is too lazy to understand. This country girl who only knows the word "man" and only says "the original nature of a person is good" knows little, so it is easy to satisfy.
"It's just that Ezi likes it. Don't you think this is not important?"
Princess Changping laughed loudly, laughing without any hesitation, laughing back and forth, and there was no trace of the princess’s supposed elegance, as if she was a madman. Until she burst into tears, she said, "It's the same with her loyal uncle. I'm nothing, haha, that's the price, haha..."
