The children of the Confucian family are known for their civil and military skills, and they are more prominent in terms of knowledge in comparison, and have a huge influence on the political arena of the Shaodian State, and their disciples are all over the country, but they are not worse than the Jiang family in terms of connections on the card.

The reason why they repeatedly lost to the Jiang family at the aristocratic conference was because they disdained to win over the small and medium-sized nobles, and many nobles gave up voting for the Kong family from the perspective of interests, and even the nobles who studied under the Confucian family.

In fact, the strength of the Kong family will not be much worse than that of the Jiang family, and it will basically not fall out of the ranks of the top five nobles in the country.

Jiang Li couldn't help but pay attention to Kong Ci's attitude, and if he could get the support of the Kong family, he would be at ease.

"Ding Kui sent someone to inform my elders, saying that there are many vacancies in Nanqiu County, Chunlu City, Dongxiong City and Dingjiang City, and my children are allowed to go and fill them, but they can't serve as county guards and city lords, do you know about this?" Kong Ci came up and asked directly.

"Hehe, I've heard a little that Kui'er is willing to be close to the Kong family, and I am very pleased. Jiang Li smiled heartily, and he couldn't see the momentum of the Great Elder of the Senate at all.

"So, you support him in forcibly occupying those places. Kong Ci's face was expressionless.

"It's a bit ugly to say that the tyrant occupies it, Kui'er is worthy of the people of Li in those places, and there are enough battles on hand to improve the title and expand the territory, to put it mildly, at least half of the Shaodian country supports Kui'er. Jiang Li didn't say it too obviously.

"Hmph, you still said that it was not forcibly occupied, how can you take the Prince Regent in your eyes, let alone the Government Council. Don't be nervous, though. ”

Kong Ci found that Jiang Li's face collapsed.

"The Kong family has no intention of closely following Shaodian, that is, he single-handedly urged everyone to have their own selfish interests, so that you will reap the consequences. ”

Jiang Li's expression returned to naturalness, and he said, "Hehe, Kong Lao's eyes are like torches, we just want to deserve it, and we can't be compared with the insatiable people." ”

"Ding Kui has a firm belief in defending the country, which everyone sees in the eyes of everyone, and it is indeed worthy of the admiration of the Chinese people. The Ding family has protected the Shaodian country for generations, and rarely considers the interests of their own family, and the dignified protector of the country does not even have a territory. ”

Kong Ci did not deny the merits of Ding Kui and the Ding family, and was a little sympathetic to what the Ding family had suffered over the years.

Jiang Li got up and bowed to the ground and said, "Gong Kong speaks up for his in-laws, Jiang Li is very grateful!"

Kong Ci waved his hand and said: "I'm not an old fool, who is good? What is bad? It is clear to tell you the principles of the Confucian family, we will not cooperate with others casually, and the quality of morality is the first thing we should consider."

I think you can talk to King Xijun okay, otherwise you wouldn't have said those words just now, his attitude on the ground in Nannuma Prefecture is very important, if he doesn't object, then the Kong family can cooperate with Ding Kui, and it is a good thing that the children of the Kong family have more ways out. ”

"To tell you the truth, Shao Dianxi did not agree or object, he would not send people to take over Nanqiu County, Chunlu City, Dongxiong City and Dingjiang City, but he would definitely not openly admit that those places belonged to the Ding family's territory. Jiang Li didn't hide it.

"Well, don't participate, this is in line with the temper of King Xijun, Nanqiu County has had many disasters in recent years, and his country is eyeing Chunlu Bay, and King Xijun is happy to let go out and watch you fight.

Very good, even if the imperial court wants to control those places, at most it will send the county guard and the city lord to go, and the positions below still need to be filled, rather than watching others go, it is better to let the children of the Confucius family go, and our people don't care if they are surnamed Ding or Shaodian. ”

The Confucian family did not need the state pastor to express his support, as long as the state pastor did not care, he would dare to send people to Nanqiu County, Chunlu City, Dongxiong City, and Dingjiang City, as for who would arrange the specific positions? Whether it was Ding Kui or someone sent by the imperial court, they did not care too much, and they would not consider choosing a side to be loyal, and whoever had the ability to control those places would listen to whomever they wanted.

"Okay, I'll finalize this matter with you for Kui'er, and the people sent by the Kong family just need to manage the place. Jiang Li understood what Kong Ci meant, and also understood the position of the Kong family, so he couldn't let others openly accept Ding Kui over the imperial court.

Afterwards, Jiang Li returned to the capital and arranged for his subordinates to summon Ding Kui to inform Shaodianxi and Kong Ci of their attitudes.

Shaodian Luan led a group of female guards and rushed to Nanqiu County under the secret protection of Shaodian. This time, Ding Kui took the initiative to ask her to go, and it was a major decision related to the family.

"What?, Nanqiu County Town, Chunlu City, Dongxiong City, and Dingjiang City have become our new territories?" she was taken aback when she heard Ding Kui finish speaking.

"Yes, what's the matter, aren't you happy?" Ding Kui looked at his wife with deep meaning.

"No, hasn't this Senate not yet made a decision?" Shao Dianluan didn't turn the corner yet.

"Don't bother the elders, I've already made a decision. Ding Kui's words were sonorous and powerful.

"This, that," Shaodian Luan's mind was numb, and he didn't know how to organize the language, "Can we be counted as talking?

"Do you think it's important?" Ding Kui asked rhetorically, "You guys go out." He pointed to the female guards.

The couple was left in the room.

"Husband, what are you going to do? I know you have grievances, but do we have to do it?"

Ding Kui grabbed his wife's hands and asked, "Am I a Shaodian?"

"Yes, definitely. ”

"Am I a nobleman of the Shaodian Kingdom?"

"Yes. ”

"Is my territory the land of Shaodian?"

"Yes!" Shaodian Luan gradually understood what Ding Kui meant.

"If we pay taxes on time, will the state have a loss?"

"No! but ......"

Ding Kui grabbed the jade hand hard and said, "You listen to me."

Am I, or the Ding family, entitled to a county?"

"Yes. ”

"Can I protect these places from foreigners?"

"Yes. ”

"Can we make the people under our rule happier?"

"Hmm. ”

"Since we are worthy of the national court and the people of Limin, why can't we do this?" Ding Kui pressed Shaodianluan into his chair.

But it is not in accordance with the laws of the land. Shaodian Luan suddenly thought of a good word.

"The law of the state is for the purpose of governing the country well, and it is not used to entrap the faithful. It is like a weapon, it can do things in the hands of good people, and bad things will happen in the hands of bad people, and our position is to put an end to bad things. ”

Poor Shaodianluan can say anything about Ding Kui, he was stunned by his theory and couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.

"But what if the court condemns us?"

"You're worried about that. Ding Kui smiled, "Blame me for not telling you clearly, what I mean is that those places belong to the Ding family, but on the surface they are still managed by the imperial court." ”

"Huh?" Shaodian Luan was completely blinded.

"I will arrange for people loyal to the Ding family to serve as the county guard and city lord, and they will take care of the daily government affairs according to our wishes, and when the tax is paid at the end of the year, there will be other accounts to be handed over to Nanjing City, and Mr. Liu and Mr. Fei will help you deal with it.

At least on the surface, everything obeys the rules of the kingdom, and I have a military position, and I am also a nobleman or a concubine, so how can I do anything that violates the laws of the country? What is the difference between being against the court and rebelling? Rest assured, I will not be a rebel. ”

The last sentence made Shaodian Luan feel at ease, how could Shaodian Guo's concubine be a rebel! In this way, the face of the royal family is still there, and she can also communicate with her ancestors.

"Really won't let the court condemn?" she confirmed.

"No, no court will condemn me. ”

Haw, Ding Kui kissed his wife on the cheek.

"Do you know how scary you just said? My heart is still pounding. Shaodian Luan is completely relieved.

"Really? Ding Kui smiled evilly.

"Hmph, haven't you touched enough of that little lover?" she was angry that Ruan Xingzhu had been staying in the army.

"Let me make it clear to you first, on the surface we follow the rules, but secretly we have to do some tricks, and when we have to, a few people will die.

You know me, it's okay to suffer a loss, but I always have to get some compensation back, and I'm not too much, I should have a lot of copper plates, and I shouldn't have a lot of copper plates. ”

Ding Kui gave Shaodian Luan a vaccination.

"Will someone say us behind our back?" Shao Dianluan knew that Ding Kui could not be persuaded to do so, and he would remind him if he could.

"Whoever likes to say it, just say it, in short, you can't go against me. The last one who opposed me was not slaughtered by me in Hengfu City. "Ding Kui is talking about Lepi.

"Then if it is, yes, what about the Prince Regent?" Shaodian Luan couldn't help but didn't say anything about the old ancestor.

She is most worried that Ding Kui will anger Shao Dian Huan, although Shao Dian Huan can't make a move on Ding Kui, but there is a way to restrict Ding Kui's freedom, then she and her husband will have to go to the royal forbidden land next time they make love.

"He, hmph, some of them are people who give him headaches, and I can't rank them for the time being. ”

Ding Kui patted the armor on his body.

"I still have a lot of use for the kingdom, and now is not the time to get me. The legendary knight is indeed very good, but your husband is not bad, and one day I will enter the realm of legends. "Ding Kui has absolute confidence.

He has never stopped cultivating, whether it is Dou Qi or Magic, the Magic Cultivation cannot be judged for the time being, but the Dou Qi Cultivation is making progress every day, and the cyclone caused by Ren Du's second pulse is getting stronger and stronger.

According to Jiang Tong's experience, the fact that the cyclone in Ding Kui's body can affect the outside world means that he has entered the middle stage of the dominant knight, and the filling of the second vein of Ren Du with the fighting qi means that he has entered the late stage, and he seems to be only separated from the middle stage by a layer of window paper.

"Wait until you step in and say no, but don't let me go beyond me. Hmm, does the Ding Mansion need to change places? Which city will we stay in in the future?"

"The county town has always been the center of a county, so it's easier for you to stay here. Don't go back these two days, go to the city for a walk, choose a place, and I'll build you a princess's palace. Ding Kui emphasized Shaodianluan.

When he was away, the hostess of the Ding family needed to be in charge of the overall situation, otherwise she would not have made so much effort to persuade Shaodianluan.

"Doesn't Long Yan have to move to the county seat?"

(After being reminded by Liangchong, the princess's bodyguard is called Shaodian, I wrote it incorrectly in chapter 1098, and it has been changed.) ）
