385: Another year [two in one](1/2)

Wishing people from the Zhao family in Xunnan?

Zhai Huan naturally understood the meaning behind this statement.

He said: "I thought about making a good marriage with the third lady of Zhao before. She admired you, and your temperament would not let you down, which was considered a win-win situation. But after experiencing Ajing's incident, I realized that some things cannot be forced... Compared to the help of Zhao from Xunnan, Ale, I hope you can get what you want."

"Life is short, don't leave any regrets."

Zhai Le frowned and pondered.

Didn't give the answer immediately.

But strong allies are indeed needed now.

The former uncle of the king handed over military power, but his soldiers were all in various places, factions, and positions, and they could be called a mixture of fish and dragons. Previously, relying on the identity of the king's uncle and a group of close friends, he could barely control them.

Now that the holder of the National Seal has changed, it is equivalent to breaking the balance and suppressing the core of these soldiers.

They were all ready to move and were not very cooperative.

If you are not careful, you may collude to riot and counter brother... Although it is unlikely that you will succeed, it will also further confusing the situation. This is not what Zhai Le wants to see.

In the past few days, a group of their own confidants have been installed and promoted. Although the position is not obvious, they can obtain first-hand information whenever there is any disturbance. They also use the name of the former uncle of the king to disrupt the original organization, so that they cannot join the group.

But this is not a long-term solution, and it is still not enough.

The current peace is just an illusion after all.

It is easily broken by external forces or internal causes.

Brother Ah also has to work hard to argue with the old foxes. What these old foxes care most about is not who the king is or what his surname is, but more about their own interests. They all want to take advantage of Zhai Huan's unstable power to chew off a piece of flesh and blood.

Zhai Le saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

"Ale, do you really want to marry the third lady of Zhao?"

Zhai Le didn't think much about it.

His eyes firmly said: "Yes, I want to."

Although it is not because of liking but because of the pros and cons after weighing the pros and cons, two-way relationship may not be perfect, and one-way relationship may not be regrettable. Zhai Le paused and said, "Or... ask her what she means first? If you don't want to..."

He said, "Then please find another brother."

Zhai Huan silently and patted his cousin's shoulder.

Sighing: "Okay."

Before Zhai Le left, he did not forget to remind Zhai Huan to use his literati as little as possible. Although my brother did not say how much burden the literati would have on him after his perfection, judging from the great success of his first appearance, the cost is not small.

Zhai Huan said with a funny look: "Well, there will be a decent amount."

In Zhai Huan's opinion, the effect of this literati can only be described as "chicken ribs". It is tasteless to eat, but it is a pity to throw it away.

If you are too dependent, you will not know how to die.

Indeed, it can put a real memory for people, and even if the parties know there is a problem, it is difficult to avoid it. If they think that the way of scribes is invincible... that would be too naive, because the real confrontation is still outside the way of scribes.

Take the former king's uncle as an example.

If the false identity Zhai Huan set for herself was not the "real king who was left behind", but the confidant/child of the former king's uncle, could he still persuade the other party to force the palace with troops?

It is impossible, because the benefits brought by the latter's identity are far greater than those of the former, and it is not worth the other party's risk of killing the nine clans to gain wealth... Rather than saying that the way of a scholar made the other party rebelled and was used by Zhai Huan, it is better to say that the blueprint benefits given by Zhai Huan touched the greed that could not be filled in the depths of his heart, and then hit it off...

To give another example, if Zhai Huan was dealing with Qi Shan and others, simulated his identity as a relative and urged Qi Shan to kill Chen Tang, then what he was waiting for was probably not Qi Shan's sincere cooperation, but the other party's butcher's knife.

The real difficulty of this literati's way is that it requires precisely to understand the opponent's human weaknesses - those who value family should start with their family; those who value material things should start with interests; those who value false reputation should start with reputation...

There is another type of people who are the most special.

That is to worship the original heart of morality on the altar. Such people often cannot pour oil into it, which is extremely difficult...

The situation in Shen State changes.

Even the third lady of Zhao, who was in the boudoir, was affected.

I heard that the boy she loved for many years was about to form an alliance with Shuji. She was depressed for several days, and her body, which was already a little bit of meat, became clearer and clearer. Her parents, brothers and sisters persuaded her again and again, and her younger brother deliberately made trouble to make her laugh.

Zhao Sanniang has never been really happy.

She didn't know the problem was serious.

The Shuji Daming is also famous in the boudoir circle. Whoever she likes is, whether the other party is married, unmarried or engaged, she must use various means to force her to grab it.

She can covet a married man, but she does not allow others to think of her man, and be careful to bring about a murder.

If Shu Ji hadn't been too cruel and incorruptible, had her hands covered with the lives of innocent common people, and had broken up other people's marriages, which made people angry and resentful... Zhao Sanniang vaguely envious of the other party - it is rare for women to live so willful.

Of course, I just envy the other party's freedom rather than the other party's behavior. But then I thought that Shuji's freedom was given to her by her brother as the king's brother. Because of her bloodline rather than Shuji herself, I felt a little flawed...

Back to the topic.

Once Zhai Le and Shu Ji get married, the petty Shu Ji knows that she has proposed to Zhai Le, even if she has family protection, she will be troubled and cause trouble for her family.

Thinking of these, Zhao Sanniang was depressed again.

People who have liked each other for many years are not allowed to let go. The taste is much bitterer than the medicine brought by the maid.

She closed her eyes and drank it all in one gulp. On the day of Zhai Le's wedding, she tossed and turned until late at night before she fell asleep tiredly.

It was only after the sun was three o'clock, and I woke up.

The news that followed made her confused again and again.

The marriage between Zhai Le and Shu Ji was frozen, Shu Ji died, and the king died, it was all done by Zhai Huan...

When my mother told her, she said enviously: [This Zhai Yuewen is affectionate and righteous.]

Anyone with discerning eyes can see that even though Zhai Huan had ambitions, she did not expand to the point of overthrowing the Wang Ting. She was more of the idea of ​​assisting Wang Ting and rectifying the situation. But Shu Ji killed Zhai Huan's fiancée, and Zhai Huan took the lead.

A angrily wins the crown and turns to be beautiful.

Isn't this more romantic and charming than a market-based vocabulary?

Zhao Sanniang thought casually, wouldn’t Zhai Le’s marriage not succeeding, which means she still has a chance?

Her mother could see her thoughts at a glance.

Said: [Don't do stupid things.]

Zhao Sanniang said: [The daughter just thinks so...]

As a woman in the boudoir, begging her parents to take the initiative to go to Zhai to talk about marriage, which is the most extraordinary thing she has done in her life. How can she have the courage to do it again? Zhai is in a whirlpool, and Zhai Le probably has no intention of talking about marriage.

Her mother smiled and said, “You can wait with peace of mind.”

Zhao Sanniang: [Wait?]

[When Zhai came to propose marriage, your father told Wei Niang that Zhai Yuewen killed the monarch in front of the palace. He killed the monarch quickly and happily, but he had to solve the mess left behind. Zhai's lack of manpower and could not suppress the situation, so he naturally had to seek allies. Any allies are more reassuring than marriage? Don't talk about Zhai Le, you can choose any other unmarried men of Zhai.]

Zhao Sanniang felt aroused.

I was a little disgusted and had the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation, but I also had some vague expectations - Zhai Lezhen would come to propose marriage?

She stayed in her yard to help with flowers and plants, and occasionally fed the fish in the pond, but time passed slowly.

Within a few days, Zhai Le really came to the door.

But it wasn't about asking her parents to propose marriage and say marriage.

But see her.

Zhao Sanniang was nervous and nervous.

Through a screen, she could vaguely see the figure opposite the screen. She was a boy who had grown into an adult.

Everyone who serves around them is waiting outside the door.

Zhai Le took a deep breath in secret to relieve inexplicable tension.

"Madam Zhao San..." Zhai Le couldn't call the other party's nickname and asked a little hesitantly, "I heard... do you like me?"

Zhao Sanniang: “…”

His face was red and white, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to get into the cracks in the ground.

But he still endured the embarrassment and said, "Yes."

Although he knew the answer, it was quite novel when he heard the other party admit it himself. Zhai Leguang remembered the deep memory of offending the other party when he was a child and being beaten up by his father. He never thought that the other party would like him, so how could he have thought of this?

"Then I asked to marry you, would you like?"

Zhao Sanniang's face was no longer pale, only red left.

It's so red that it can drip blood.

"Marriage matters...when it is decided by parents..."

Zhai Le was puzzled: "…ah?"

Haven’t they all come to the door to say that they have kissed? Zhao Sanniang’s parents should have agreed, so why should they rethink?

Thinking about it again, although he and Shuji are not real couples, they have a full ceremony, and Zhao really dislikes the second marriage.

Zhai Le scratched his face. The second-married widower who had his "wife" died that day didn't sound like a good match.
To be continued...
