After eating a Chinese meal together, and saying a few words without being salty, the first meeting between Qin Feng and Cheng Wuben ended hastily. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I can't imagine that it's the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Qin Feng is still so busy." After Qin Feng left, Cheng Wuben was a little sour. "No wonder he has achieved so much in such a short period of time."

"Uncle Cheng, don't blame him, Qin Feng does have something!" Min Ruoxi explained: "He wants to go to the various villages around Taiping City with some officials to see, this year, more and more people have escaped from Qidi, and a lot of new villages have been built, but due to the conditions, these villages are extremely simple, most of them are still thatched sheds, and the snow is very heavy this year, Qin Feng is worried that something will happen, go and take a look, condolences, and by the way, some practical problems can be solved." ”

"Escaped from Qidi?" Cheng Wuben was in good spirits.

"It is said that it is Qi land, but in fact, it was also the territory of the Yue people before, and it was robbed by the Qi people. The Qi people were very strict with these past Yue people, and the exploitation was very heavy, and some of them could not bear it, so they fled to Taiping City. Min Ruoxi said: "Around this year, I heard Qin Feng say that there are probably thousands of people here, and more than a dozen villages have been built around, and most of them have to rely on relief to survive!" ”

"Can the Taiping Army afford it?" Cheng Wuben asked.

"It's nothing." Min Ruoxi laughed: "Now the Taiping Army's finances are running well, even if it is not good, Qin Feng also said, since he came to vote for him, it is to believe in the Taiping Army, even if he is frugal and frugal, he must let these people survive." ”

"Qin Feng has a compassionate heart." Cheng Wuben nodded in approval.

"That's not all." Min Ruoxi smiled, she could be praised by Cheng Wuben, and she also felt honored. "Qin Feng often said that talent is fundamental. With people, there will be everything. These people come to vote for him, it seems that they have to invest a lot in the early stage, but in the long run, these people are contributors to wealth, sources of soldiers, small investment can be exchanged for big returns, if you don't do such a thing seriously, then you are a fool! ”

"The reason is very simple, but how many can really do it!" Cheng Wuben said with emotion. "That's why Taiping City has been able to develop to this extent in a short period of time!"

"I've only been here for a short time, and I usually only ask about political affairs, but I don't know anything about it." Min Ruoxi said.

After groaning for a while, Cheng Wuben said: "I remember that when I was in the capital, Her Royal Highness the Princess was in charge of the Jiying Palace, and she was also involved in political affairs, and she was no stranger to political affairs. ”

"I'm not Her Royal Highness the Princess now, just Madam Qin." Min Ruoxi said lightly.

Cheng Wuben shook his head, "Your Highness, blood and family, even if you break the bones and still have tendons, you left suddenly this time, the Queen Mother doesn't know how sad it is, before I came to Baoqing, the Queen Mother summoned me, the Queen Mother was very reduced, as soon as she saw me, she couldn't help crying, one is thinking of the princess, and the other is that she misses the two children tightly." ”

Min Ruoxi's eyes were slightly red, but she couldn't hold back her tears.

"The Queen Mother said, princess, you are gone, but I don't know when and what month I will see you and the two children again, she is not young, and I don't know if there is a chance?" Cheng Wuben said with embarrassment: "I prided myself on being hard-hearted, but I couldn't help but burst into tears at that time." Sometimes, the royal family is really freer than ordinary people. Ordinary people, even if relatives are far apart, there is always a chance to visit the door, but the royal family, sometimes it is really a goodbye is a permanent secret! Your Highness, the Queen Mother really hopes to see you again! ”

Min Ruoxi lowered her head in silence, Cheng Wuben was right, in a situation like her now, if she wants to go back to the capital again, the chance is really slim.

"Maybe there's a chance." She struggled.

"The boxes shipped outside, some of them are the dowries prepared for you by the Queen Mother, some of them are the rewards of His Majesty the Emperor, and some of them are some things that you are used to in Princess Zhaohua's mansion, in addition, among those yellow boxes, there are some items packed by the Queen Mother, I don't know what they are." Cheng Wuben stood up, "Your Highness, the minister drank a little too much wine today, and he was a little sleepy, so he wanted to retire and rest for a while." ”

Cheng Wuben is a very smart person, many things, point to the end, but the effect is better, too much talk, but not beautiful.

Min Ruoxi nodded, and Cheng Wuben retreated.

Looking up at the mountains of boxes in the yard, Min Ruoxi's gaze finally fell on the yellow boxes on the side. "Aunt Ying, you help me bring in the yellow box." She said softly.

The lid of the box was opened, and the inside looked very messy, there were children's clothes, broken toys, broken books, immature manuscripts, and wooden swords broken into several pieces, all of which looked like they were some things that had been in the box. These things, in the past, during the Chinese New Year, the queen mother would always take them out to show off to her children, which were all old things that she had collected from her children since she was a child. I didn't think there was anything before, but I felt that the queen mother was completely too idle to find something to do, but now when I see it, it hurts my liver and intestines.

Seeing Min Ruoxi crying bitterly, Aunt Ying also reacted, squatting down and holding Min Ruoxi's shoulder: "Your Highness, don't be sad, when do you really miss the Queen Mother, Aunt Ying will accompany you back to the capital, with our martial arts cultivation, you can't go anywhere in this world." ”

Raising his head, it was like pear blossoms bringing rain, "Aunt Ying, it's different, you can go, but I can't go." If Qin Feng is in a difficult situation in the future, I can't go back, and if I go back, I may never be able to come out again, but if Qin Feng becomes stronger, I can't go back, because it will cause turmoil, suspicion, and even rebellion among all forces. ”

Ying Gu sighed, this is the sadness of the topmost figures, the simplest thing in the eyes of ordinary people, for them, it is tantamount to a moat that cannot be surmounted. An extremely ordinary act of theirs can also be seen as a political signal that will lead to misinterpretation by other forces and lead to incidents, so they have to be cautious.

People can only see their magnificence, but they can't understand what they have lost.

What you gain, you have to lose. You can never have both. Everyone pursues different things, and naturally loses different things.

At the other end of the courtyard, Cheng Wuben sat at the round table, leisurely sipping tea, this kind of round table was the first time he had seen it, they usually used the square and square Eight Immortals table, to the main hall, up and down the humility, at a glance, this kind of round table in the house, but you can't see these. What's even more strange is that this table actually has two layers, the upper layer is a small circle, it can be rotated, and it can be slowly rotated with a pull of the hand, which is convenient, at least when eating, you can eat the dishes at will.

He was curious about this, holding tea in one hand and pulling the table in the other. There was a faint sound of Min Ruoxi's sobbing in his ears, which was a little far away at any time, but with his ears and eyes, as long as he wanted to listen, he could naturally hear it.

Although Luo Liang is not liked by him and is a typical villain, it cannot but be said that Luo Liang's grasp of people's hearts is indeed very strong. Her Royal Highness the princess was extremely resentful of Min Ruoying because of the death of the western border army, because of Qin Feng's matter, and because of Min Ruocheng's matter, and it can be said that she hated it to the point of hatred, and decided to leave with Qin Feng, but Luo Liang asserted that with the temperament of Her Royal Highness the princess, it is definitely impossible to break with Da Chu, and under the situation of Qin Feng's increasing strength, Min Ruoxi's existence as the main mother of the Taiping Army will inevitably be of great benefit to Da Chu in the future.

Of course, this benefit is certainly not visible now, but as time goes by, it will inevitably appear little by little. Even if Min Ruoxi doesn't do anything, her identity as the eldest princess of Chu is enough to make Qi Guo think about it. Or in normal times, these suspicions will not have a particularly big impact, but when it comes to the fatal moment, this mutual suspicion will affect the formulation of the most fundamental strategy.

Qin Feng must have hated Chu State very much in his heart, but at some point, he will involuntarily respond to the general trend and the strategy formulated by his opponent.

This time in Taiping City, he didn't think that there would be any big breakthrough, for him, Qin Feng can allow to go to Taiping City, even as a member of his mother's family, it is also a major diplomatic breakthrough in the Chu State, and a wedge has been scored between Qi people and Qin Feng. The Qi people will not turn their faces with Qin Feng now, but the accident that occurred in the connection will make the Qi people now can only strive for Qin Feng to remain neutral, which is actually a victory for the Chu people.

Since they are relatives, they will naturally come and go often in the future, and the rift between His Majesty the Emperor and the leaders and generals of the Taiping Army will be mended little by little in this long-term relationship. People are subject to change, as long as the interests reach a certain level, Cheng Wuben does not believe that these rifts cannot be bridged.

He had now vaguely seen Qin Feng's strategic intentions. Based on the two counties of Shayang and Changyang, he constantly expanded his strength, made friends with the Qi State, but broke the connection with the Chu State to contain the Qi State, holding the banner of the Yue State, but secretly sharpened his knife Huo Huo, all of which showed that Qin Feng was preparing to replace the Yue State.

Letting Luo Yishui leave is a trick. In this regard, Cheng Wuben admires Qin Feng very much, Luo Yishui's departure will inevitably lead to chaos in Yueguo, and a large-scale civil war may break out in Yueguo, and as soon as the fight starts, Qin Feng will have a chance.

The state of Chu should help Qin Feng in this process.

The Qin people naturally will not let go of this opportunity, Li Zhi went out of the mountain but did not move for a long time, I am afraid he is also waiting for this opportunity, if the Qin people get the Yue Kingdom, it will be a disaster for the Chu State. (To be continued.) )
