Chapter 488 The Princess Who Goes Down in History 20
"But Dayang just finished helping us."
Pei Jin thought for a moment and said.
Pei Wan: "What do you mean? Don't want to fight?"
"No."
Pei Jin shook her head, "I mean, we have to think of a better excuse."
"Isn't this simple?"
Shu Jiao chuckled, "At the beginning of next year, we will send envoys to Dayang to borrow grain. Then... our envoy disappeared in Dayang."
"It just so happened that the battle of Yuanzhen ended at that time, and our soldiers learned on their way back that the envoy was missing, so they wanted to send troops in to look for him."
Isn't this the way to go in?
Not allowed in?
Did you kill my envoy?
Okay, we just want to borrow some food, but you actually killed my envoy. It’s obvious that you don’t take Xin State seriously.
beat!
The corners of Pei Jin and Pei Wan's lips twitched slightly for a moment, and then they both expressed their agreement.
So, next year’s task will be +1.
After discussing these things, Pei Wan went to persuade the queen.
Shu Jiao returned to the Honglu Temple to prepare to select a few envoys to be "sacrificed" as backup, while Pei Jin was still reviewing memorials sent from various places.
From day to night.
Emperor Kangping watched Pei Jin light candles for several nights in a row and stay up until midnight.
He saw court officials coming one after another, and the voices from next door reached him, without stopping from morning to night.
He couldn't help but wipe the sweat off Pei Jin's face——
Come on, son!
I, your father, can't do this busy work.
Fortunately!
Fortunately, his son was not so filial and sidelined him. Otherwise, he would be the one who had to stay up late at night and be nagged endlessly by the court officials!
hmm~~~
Just thinking about it makes me feel like my life has been shortened by two years.
Emperor Kangping pulled at his sable coat, silently threw away the unimportant memorial, and went to the harem.
Today, Meilin was making tea and heard that Concubine Li played the pipa very well, so he asked her to accompany him.
On the other side, Pei Wan was still trying to persuade the Queen.
The Queen was really worried about letting her leave the capital.
But Pei Wan kept pestering her, and she regretted nodding her head. She immediately thought of Princess Pingqing.
They should have felt the same way.
I wonder what Princess Pingqing felt when Shu Jiao insisted on going on a diplomatic mission to the Western Barbarians?
Thinking of this, the Queen summoned Princess Pingqing into the palace.
Pei Qinghuan: ...
Who would want to go out in the middle of winter?
If you weren't the queen, I wouldn't even bother with you?
But there was no other way, Pei Qinghuan had to keep warm before entering the palace.
Upon learning that Pei Wan was going out to secretly visit the officials in charge of disaster relief, the Queen became depressed and could not help but remain silent.
What we are saying is that there are some issues with the burial of the Pei family's ancestral tomb.
Otherwise, why are each of my daughters more adventurous than the other?
In front of her was Princess Dingguo, and behind her were Princess Ning'an and her daughter. She saw that several of the unmarried princesses in the palace were also starting to get restless.
Sooner or later, two capable people will emerge.
Of course, despite what he was thinking, Pei Qinghuan still tried his best to comfort the queen.
Pei Qinghuan's idea was soon verified.
Upon learning that Pei Wan was going to leave the capital, the princesses in the palace began to invite Pei Wan frequently, expressing their desire to go out with her in both explicit and implicit ways.
How could Pei Wan dare to agree?
She didn't agree, so the princesses went to persuade Pei Jin.
Unfortunately, given their lack of experience, Pei Jin refused and was forced to agree to give them some opportunities to show themselves.
Pei Jin: ...
As the crown prince, I feel really stressed.
Before the younger brothers came forward, the sisters had already made progress.
Soon, Pei Wan would leave the capital with the third and fourth princes.
Before leaving, Shu Jiao met her in the study of Duke Wei's mansion, and her words touched her soul directly -
"Cousin, do you want to be emperor?"
Pei Wan was shocked.
Is it okay to ask this?
"I……"
As soon as Pei Wan opened her mouth, Shu Jiao said, "Don't lie, I can see it."
Do you want to be emperor?
Want to?
miss you!
If this question had been put before she touched power and interfered in political affairs, she could say with certainty that she did not have such an idea.
but now……
Power~
Once you touch that thing, it will be deeply engraved in your bones and buried deep in your brain, arousing human greed and desire, and it will be difficult to let go.
She finally understood why her aunt and father had ignored family ties and fought each other for so many years.
Because I really can't bear to give up.
Once I let go, it hurts more than digging out flesh and breaking bones!
"Then you and your cousin will fight sooner or later."
At present, with internal disasters continuing and external enemies approaching, Pei Wan and Pei Jin can still work together.
Once Xin State overcomes the difficulties, the fate of these brother and sister will not be much better than that of the late emperor and Princess Dingguo.
Because neither Pei Jin nor Pei Wan would be willing to give in.
Shu Jiao said firmly.
"Let's talk about it then."
Pei Wan smiled helplessly, but she exerted a little more force in holding the teacup.
Shu Jiao: "If you believe me, cousin, you might as well ask about the overseas situation when you leave Beijing and go south."
overseas?
Pei Wan frowned, "You mean, let me go out to sea?"
"How can being the heir to a prosperous era be better than being the founding emperor?"
Shu Jiao chuckled and said, "My cousin won't be back in Beijing for three or four months, so this is a good time to think about it. If you're willing, come back to Beijing to find me. I have a few ideas to share with you."
Hearing this, Pei Wan's eyes became deep.
Her cousin...
Sometimes it's really scary how smart it is.
If she becomes an enemy of the emperor's brother, I wonder if the emperor's brother can resist her?
"Why don't you tell me now?"
Pei Wan said.
However, Shu Jiao did not talk about this topic anymore, and instead brought up the matter of leaving Beijing for a secret investigation.
This made Pei Wan feel very upset, but she could only continue talking along with her topic.
After drinking some warm tea, Pei Wan left the Duke of Wei's Mansion with a lot on her mind.
"It doesn't seem to do you any good?"
003 asked with some doubt.
"The one standing before you now is the most powerful hero in history, King Xinguowei, Princess Dayuan, Duke Dayou... Shu Jiao."
Shu Jiao curled her lips and smiled, "A founding hero of every country in the world. I have a golden ticket of immunity from death, which is valid all over the world. Just tell me if it feels good or not, right?"
Of course, the most important thing is that Pei Wan does have some talent.
It is better to let it out and harm others than to keep it at home and harm your own people.
Moreover, in the plot, she is the founding emperor, so going out to sea is just like returning to her old job, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
But it’s too early to say that now.
Next year, we will attack Dayang. The year after, we will join forces with Yuanzhen to attack Zhugu. In the third year, we will pacify the Western Barbarians, annex Dayu, and head north. In the fourth year, we will annex Yuanzhen...
By this calculation, it will only take about six years to achieve land unification.
Let’s make a five-year plan first.
Shu Jiao sat at the desk, picked up a pen and started writing.
On the other hand, Chen Yanhui, who was far away in Ximan, didn't know whether he had the same idea as her. He took advantage of the internal instability of Ximan and, with the support of the Fourth Prince, began to bully the officials of Ximan.
Loyal minister?
Virtuous?
Hehe ~
This is what happens when a virtuous and loyal minister comes!
Put labels on others, frame others, put the blame on others, make things up... there is always one method that suits you.
Dismissal from office, confiscation of property, exile, extermination of the entire clan... there is always one option for you.
Do you speak nicely?
He was quickly promoted to the emperor's side and was specifically responsible for making him happy.
Can you play?
Send it to the emperor immediately. Our Western Barbarian King has been working too hard these years and needs to relax.
As for government affairs...
I was locked up again, for no apparent reason, ah!!! (I went into a small dark room and went crazy for a while.)
