"Penglai Immortal Island is different from the outside world, but all the people of Jiuzhou were originally the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was helpless that the princes from all over the country were fighting endlessly, and it evolved into what it is today." When Sima Luocheng talked about this, he seemed a little unhappy.
Shi Meng suddenly remembered that the world she came from also had a great Zhou Dynasty. During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the princes were in charge of their own affairs, and the Emperor of Zhou was kept in a high cabinet. Countries competed for dominance, and there was hundreds of years of chaos. It was not until Ying Zheng destroyed six countries one after another that he finally unified China.
The Qin Dynasty was established.
Speaking of Ying Zheng, she suddenly remembered two feats he had done: unifying writing and weights and measures.
"Does Luo City want to end this chaotic situation in the Nine Provinces and unify the world under your Yun Kingdom Sima clan?" Simeng looked at him with a smile on her lips. Although she didn't know how to read minds, she just saw him talking about the battles between princes.
When the Great Zhou fell apart, there was a clear flash of regret in his eyes.
Sima Luocheng's eyes were full of meaning, he picked up the silk and shook his head slightly, "Meng'er is joking, how can Luo Cheng be so capable!" Then he glanced at the words on the silk, looked at her again, and said with a smile: "
If that day really comes, I will make all the people of Kyushu use only one kind of writing, so as to avoid the incomprehension of local government orders..."
Shi Meng saw the light in his eyes disappear, and sighed in her heart. She didn't expect that he was an ambitious person, and he really wanted to be Qin Shihuang!
I just hope that if one day he gets what he wants, he will still have the heart to love the people like a son and never become as tyrannical as the First Emperor.
Xi Meng suddenly noticed that the original noise outside the car gradually faded away, and the speed of the car was much faster than before. She couldn't help but lift the tassel curtain and take a look out the window.
The shadows of the trees outside the window are fluttering, the autumn mood is thick, the cool breeze is blowing, and it is no longer in Bingzhou City.
"What kind of unequal treaty did Bai Lirong sign with you?" After turning around and sitting down, Mimeng's eyes were still on the silk that she couldn't understand at all.
It seems that she has to practice calligraphy well after arriving in Xuanyang, otherwise it will be really difficult to live in the world in the future.
Sima Luocheng frowned, remembering what Baili Rong said to him last night after pushing Shi Meng and Mu Zili away. Suddenly, he felt suffocated in his heart. He couldn't help but increase the strength of his hand holding the silk fabric. Shi Meng saw that he was almost about to pull it away.
The alliance letter they had worked so hard to obtain was crushed to pieces.
Then, I heard him say: "The condition she agreed to help me was that the Yun State was willing to surrender to the Shang State, pay tribute every year, and put business first in everything. She knew that our Yun State was rich in copper mines, so she actually made me agree to sell it to the Shang State for free.
Open all copper mines in the territory, allowing the Shang Kingdom to end the situation of spending huge amounts of gold and silver every year to purchase copper ore from other countries for thousands of years. What's even more outrageous is that she asked me to make Baili Bing my king after marrying Baili Bing, and
I am just the regent they put in the Yun Kingdom for their mother and daughter, and they asked me to do my best to help the Shang Kingdom dominate the Nine Provinces..."
Xi Meng heard it clearly, what kind of covenant is this? It is simply the Overlord's Book!
"You actually agreed to such a domineering treaty? I really didn't realize that this Bai Lirong was actually playing dirty tricks! If I had known better, Senior Brother Mu and I should not have left you alone in there last night! Hey! Why didn't you tell me earlier?
What?" Simeng sighed, feeling that it was really not worth it for him. "That daughter of hers is beautiful on the inside, but that face... I'll have nightmares if I look at it at night! Why did you swear a promise to her like this?
What if she doesn't marry? Even without the assistance of Shang State, can't you seize the throne on your own? Aren't you betraying your conscience and your country? Even if you can successfully get back everything that originally belonged to you,
But won’t you still have to hand it over to someone else later? Moreover, they are a mother and daughter with the hearts of tigers, leopards and jackals! By then, they will eat you to pieces, and your Yun Kingdom will not be surnamed Sima, but will follow others and change its surname to Baili.
…”
How could he not know the actual meaning of this alliance, but his father, third brother, and even the entire Yun Kingdom were being manipulated by that evil woman, how could he just ignore it?
Sima Luocheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Meng'er, you don't know something. Baili Rong can be called the master of the Shang Dynasty's resurgence for hundreds of years. When I was young, I heard my father mentioned that she ascended the throne at the age of fifteen.
Jun, at the age of eighteen and pregnant with Liujia, she was still able to personally lead the army to fight against my father. If her husband had not suddenly contracted an illness and died suddenly in the army, she would not have been mentally disturbed and almost gave birth prematurely in the army. Since then, she has been favored by all ministers.
After my strong remonstrance, she had no choice but to beg to surrender to my father, and moreover, in order to save the unborn child in her belly and the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians of the Shang Kingdom, she was willing to let her unborn child marry me."
"Wow! She turns out to be a heroine! No wonder she was so calm and composed when we suddenly appeared in her car last night. But did she know at that time that she would definitely give birth to a daughter? If it was a son, her plan would have failed.
?" Simeng tilted her head, a little confused. From what she understood, there should be no modern medical equipment here that can check the gender of the fetus she is carrying, right?!
Sima Luocheng paused and slowly shook his head, "Father Jun once said that what happened back then might be God's will. Later, she really gave birth to a daughter, and Father Jun gave me this Phoenix Dance Jue.
He told me not to leave. Now that I think about it, everything seems to have been arranged by itself."
"This time she must have thought that she would make things difficult for me for no reason, and I would never agree to her conditions out of consideration for my face. In fact, if I hadn't seen Baili Bing's true appearance in Lingyan Pavilion today, I might not have
Agreeing to such harsh and rude conditions. But with Baili Bing's current appearance, no one in the Kyushu has the courage to marry her except our Sima Luo City! But for the future of our country, Yun Country, for the sake of the country's number.
Millions of people must make some sacrifices!"
When Sima Luocheng said this, a hint of arrogance appeared on his face, which made Simeng have to look at this extraordinary careerist again in his heart.
He is really a flexible and flexible person, and his calmness of mind is far beyond her imagination. It would not seem like him to say that he is willing to sacrifice love for the sake of power.
What he always cared about were the people of Yun State and the fate of the country.
She should have admired him for such a great move, but for some reason, she always felt that he was a little pitiful and worthy of sympathy.
So, she said stupidly, "I think Baili Bing seems to really like you. If she knows that you are not sincere to her, will she become angry?" She thought of the man named Ping'er last night.
The maid, however, was severely punished by her for chewing her tongue a few times. She must have been like mother, like daughter. She was a powerful character. If her face hadn't been ruined, she might have taken the initiative to regret her marriage long ago.
"She and I only have a casual relationship. If we insist on having any deep affection, it's probably out of helplessness. She should know this better than me. Even if she has some affection for me, it's just a temporary impulse. From then on.
It is not difficult to see in her eyes that she, like Bai Lirong, has ambitions and ambitions that dominate the world, but these are all hidden behind the ruined face."
Sima Luocheng revealed Baili Bing's thoughts in just a few words, which really surprised Shi Meng.
Perhaps this is the difference between someone who has learned the art of kingship since childhood and is used to seeing power struggles in the palace, and ordinary people like her.
