Steel Dynasty - Chapter 858

[Chapter 856 The clear situation]

A gust of north wind blew Cui Xueer’s long hair, and the slightest chill made her shrink back.

Xiao Ming wrapped his cloak around Cui Xueer, then stood up and looked at Xiao Yi who was playing.

For him, this question was indeed a bit cruel to Cui Xueer, so he said: “Of course, I will not force you.”

“The emperor has misunderstood me. If the emperor makes up his mind, I am willing to write to my father to persuade him. After all, as the royal concubine of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, I am willing to watch the Great Chongqing Kingdom becoming more and more prosperous and powerful like the people of the world. I believe that my father will also understand.” Cui Xueer said crisply.

Xiao Ming looked at Cui Xueer, and after a long while he said: “This will make things difficult for you. I promised you that I will not change. Your father and brother have done great service to me, and I am not willing to fight with them.”

Cui Xueer emphasized the point after hearing this .

nodded.

The next day, Qingzhou Daily was published as usual, and the content on the front page immediately caused an uproar in Qingzhou City, and people in the streets and alleys were talking about it.

Living in Qingzhou, the political center of Great Chongqing, they are extremely sensitive to politics. This report revealed too much information.

In their opinion, the country of Chongqing is about to become unstable again.

“If you ask me, this vassal king should have peeled it long ago, otherwise they will still be in trouble when their tails are too big.”

Zhu Wuliu was eating fried dough sticks and bean curds at a breakfast stall. With the development of industry, the products of Dayu are becoming more and more popular. It is becoming more and more abundant, especially the rise of stir-fry, which has led to widespread cultivation of soybeans and rapeseed among the people. As a result, more and more oil is used for stir-fry, and the price is getting cheaper. Fried dough sticks can even be used in breakfast stalls.

Opposite Zhu Wuliu was Zhu Sansi. After hearing this, he said: “Don’t get involved in these government affairs. Just do your business.”

“Brother, you are making too much fuss. It has been published in the newspaper. “Okay, can’t I discuss it?” Zhu Wuliu curled his lips.

Zhu Sansi frowned and said: “Anyway, this is for your own good. I don’t want to meet you on the battlefield one day.”

Zhu Wuliu was confused by what he said, so he had no choice but to shake his head, “Brother, you That’s scary.”

Zhu Sansi glanced at his brother and sighed. In fact, there were some things he couldn’t say clearly. He would be leaving south in a few days after returning this time.

These generals already knew about the affairs of the Merchant Council and the Chu State. Because of this, he was worried, fearing that his younger brother would also go astray.

This worry is not without reason, because with the development of Qingzhou Prefecture, people and businessmen are now more and more interested in discussing national affairs.

Originally this was nothing, but as a result, different voices would inevitably appear, some of which were even extreme. He was worried that Zhu Wuliu would go astray.

In the past few years, the old Zhu family has become more and more prosperous. Not only does it own hundreds of acres of fertile land in Zhujia Village, Zhu Wuliu’s business has also opened up the market in Korea. Now he can earn 800 gold dragons every month.

Such huge profits allowed Zhu Wuliu to build a large house in Qingzhou City. This time he came back to live in his younger brother’s house.

“This is not to scare you. You can just talk about these things. Remember not to have any other ideas.” Zhu Sansi reminded again.

Zhu Wuliu nodded and stopped talking. Instead, he pricked up his ears and listened to the discussions of other businessmen. Zhu Sansi sighed slightly when he saw it.

At this moment, he suddenly felt someone tapping his shoulder. He turned around and was startled. He immediately stood up and saluted, “Mr. Cui.”

The person Zhu Sansi called Master Cui was none other than Cui Shangan. He had an angry look on his face and seemed very unhappy.

“You read the newspaper.” Cui Shangan said seemingly unintentionally.

In Zhu Sansi’s hand was a copy of Qingzhou Daily, which Zhu Wuliu bought. He couldn’t help but smiled bitterly and said: “Look.”

Cui Shangan showed a self-deprecating look on his face, “Don’t worry, now this is The whole Qingzhou knows about it, it’s nothing.”

After that, he sat down and ordered a portion of bean curd and fried dough sticks.

Zhu Wuliu looked at Cui Shangan inexplicably. He was about to ask but was interrupted by Zhu Sansi.

“Wu Liu, isn’t your business very busy? You should go back now.” Zhu Sansi ordered.

Zhu Wuliu was startled for a moment. Every time his brother spoke in this tone, there must be something very important. He answered and walked towards his workshop worriedly.

Cui Shangan glanced at Zhu Wuliu who was leaving, and said, “You are very concerned about your brother.”

Zhu Sansi said seriously: “He has been careless since he was a child, and there is really nothing he can do to ignore him.”

Cui Shangan smiled .

, “I love my sister the same way, but she has become the royal concubine now, and now I have to bow when I see her.”

Zhu Sansi didn’t understand what Cui Shangan was thinking. Unfortunately, at this juncture, , this Cui Shangan is his immediate boss.

He is the division commander, he is the brigade commander.

As if he could tell what Zhu Sansi was thinking, he suddenly laughed, “Don’t worry, I’m not here to persuade you to rebel with me. I have lived in Qingzhou for two years. I know my own weight very well. Huainan Kingdom’s weight.”

After a pause, he continued: “I knew that one day, the emperor’s character would not be able to tolerate the existence of a vassal king, but even so, the reduction of the vassal clan would still hurt me. “It’s uncomfortable.”

“Actually, I don’t know much, but I understand that only by giving up can you gain something, right?” Zhu Sansi said ambiguously.

The current situation in the world can be seen clearly by anyone with a discerning eye. Unification is the general trend. The popularization of the concept of country and nation has made the people long for a complete country.

What’s more, they understand that there are still so many countries in this world, and some of them are still threats to them.

Cui Shangan nodded and said, “You are an honest man and you are telling the truth. My father cannot defeat the emperor. I know this better than him.”

After that, he ate his meal in a hurry and left. Zhu Sansi was left with an embarrassed look on his face. He had a good relationship with the Prince of Huainan in the army, but he really didn’t want the prince to do something stupid, otherwise he would have no choice but to be sorry to him.

While the vassal reduction incident was fermenting in Qingzhou, the news quickly spread to Prince Yong’s Mansion in Jizhou, and two days had passed.

After reading the content in the newspaper, King Yong was not only not angry, but he breathed a sigh of relief. Princess Yong beside him said: “What happened last time has shown its signs, and now it is finally time to cut down the vassal. Your Highness, the Emperor is now We haven’t made a clear statement yet. This is for us to step down. I think we will leave for Qingzhou tomorrow. This worrying day should be over.”

King Yong sighed, “You are right, it is time to come to an end .

.”
