Who can let a girl who has been "chronically ill" and seriously ill to get married? It would be better to find another woman to get married to."
Xu Xiuyi was stunned when he heard this: "Father wants me to claim that I can't afford to be sick?"
This is indeed a common method used by those relatives of the royal family who do not want to get married.
"Is it possible that you really want to marry a foreign country, so far away? As a father, naturally I want to keep your only daughter by my side." Mr. Xu raised his eyebrows.
If his daughter marries far away and is bullied, he will not be able to control her. He will definitely have to find a son-in-law who comes to her.
Xu Xiuyi thought of Silver Fox's wild, honey-colored handsome face and his cunning silver eyes.
Her heart skipped a few beats: "I listen to my father, you can do whatever you want."
…
Dongchang
Silver Fox held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth with a depressed look on his face, leaning against the window and looking at the sky: "There is no difference between me having a fiancée and not having a fiancée. What's the matter with you Central Plains women? When she got engaged, she just crawled into a snail shell.
?”
Cang Qiao changed a memorial and said without raising her head: "Don't be sad for the spring and autumn on my desk, get off."
Silver Fox rolled down silently, dragged a stool and sat down hugging the back of the chair——
"Let's get down to business. The money has been sent to Northeast Xinjiang for you. The mines and arsenal there have started construction smoothly. The first batch of weapons has been shipped. Do you want to check the account?"
Cang Qiao said leisurely: "No need, I can trust you."
Silver Fox smiled angrily: "Come to think of it, why have you endured it until now? A few years ago, you directly used the banner of being the orphan of your late emperor and rebelled against it. Now you are the emperor."
Cang Qiao clicked on the vermilion pen and wrote down instructions on the memorial: "Have you ever heard of a sentence in the Tao Te Ching - Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies."
Silver Fox shook his stool and raised his eyebrows: "I also know the Central Plains culture very well, okay? What this says is that governing a big country should be as difficult as cooking, and it should be as careful as cooking. Both must master the heat and pay attention.
Condiments.”
Cang Qiao said casually: "That's right, I have gained a lot of power in Dongchang over the years. I have gained experience in running a country and cooking fresh food. This is one of the things I have learned."
Having seen the dirtiest side of the empire, he naturally knows how to deal with everything.
"What about the second one?" Silver Fox couldn't help but continue to ask.
This adult rarely answered his questions, and often looked at me with caring eyes like he was looking at a fool. It was rare that he was interested in chatting with me more.
Cang Qiao put down the pen and said calmly: "Secondly, when the civil war starts, a protracted war caused by insufficient preparation will lead to wars everywhere, widows and lonely people everywhere, the people are in dire straits, and the empire is riddled with holes. This is not what I want."
He paused: "Just like when Emperor Ming used the most drastic means, he first killed the former emperor's descendants, then controlled the former emperor, then forced the Suzaku Gate to force the palace, surrounded all the officials in the capital, and completely controlled the entire country in two months. You guess he planned it
how long?"
Silver Fox asked: "How long?"
"For eighteen years, he colluded internally and externally to gain the late emperor's trust and control the military and political affairs. Only then did he hit the target with one blow, leaving the late emperor's forces unable to counterattack." Cang Qiao said.
He mockingly played with the white jade finger that symbolized power and chuckled: "Even so, it took him almost ten years intermittently to suppress most of the rebellions in the name of the late emperor and the Xiao family."
Silver Fox nodded, thoughtfully: "I see, you are using the same method that Emperor Ming used to deal with the late Emperor to deal with him."
"When I do something, I either don't do it or I hit it with one hit. Just like saving you, the silver-eyed fox, is part of my plan." Cang Qiao looked at the silver fox.
Silver Fox touched his heart and said jokingly: "I thought you coveted my body back then, but who would have thought that you asked me to make money for you and rebel, and used my body and brain to the fullest...!"
"Bang!" A memorial was thrown on his deep and handsome face.
"So much nonsense. This batch of goods is very important. If someone gets caught with the shipment, I will not protect you." Cang Qiao said without any expression.
Silver Fox grabbed the memorial and saw that it was a customs clearance document for freight.
He put away the things happily and looked at Cang Qiao: "By the way, before I go out to work, it's not too much to go to my fiancée's room in the middle of the night, right?"
Cang Qiao raised her eyebrows and looked at him like a fool: "Why, do you really think Master Xu really wants you to be his son-in-law? If the prince is gone, your fiancée will soon be replaced."
Silver Fox was stunned for a moment, with a flash of anger in his eyes, and hummed softly: "Hmph, I know that these dignitaries will burn bridges when they have used up their people. Am I so easy to get rid of?"
At first, they took the initiative to get married to him, but they disliked his status as a foreigner and wanted to break off the engagement?
Cang Qiao said calmly: "You are unruly and rebellious, and you have such a status. The Xu family is full of nobles and they do not want their daughter to marry far away. It is expedient to get engaged with you. Master Xu should have made it clear to you at the beginning.
You will be compensated."
Silver Fox sneered: "Do you think I care about their compensation?"
He didn't know why, but when he thought that Xu Xiuyi had the same attitude of contempt for him, he felt an evil fire in his heart.
Cang Qiao raised her head and looked at him dangerously, tapping her fingertips on the table: "Yinhu, I don't care what you do outside, but the Xu family is useful to me."
"Xu Xiuyi is a little empress, so she should act appropriately and don't make everyone look bad."
Silver Fox raised the corners of his lips: "Don't worry, I will never ruin your plan."
While they were talking, Xiao Qizi suddenly came to report: "Master, His Highness the King of Qin came to Dongchang with His Majesty's reward."
Hearing this, Cang Qiao raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh, that's right. Take him to Feiyun Hall."
The emperor often gave him rewards, but this was the first time that King Qin took the initiative to send something for the emperor.
Cang Qiao then got up and followed Xiao Qizi to Feiyun Hall.
Silver Fox watched Cang Qiao leave, his silver eyes flickered, turned around and followed him out, but left Dongchang.
…
Cang Qiao arrived at Feiyun Hall, but she only saw King Qin standing there alone with no expression on his face.
The rewards given by the emperor have been handed over to the young eunuchs in Dongchang.
Cang Qiao glanced at the rewards and waved his hand casually: "Put them in the treasury."
He entered the Feiyun Hall alone without anyone following him: "Your Highness, I am in a good mood today. I am interested in coming to the East Factory."
Shangguan Hongye walked towards him and said expressionlessly: "I'm not as interested as the Governor."
As he spoke, he suddenly punched Cang Qiao hard in the face with his fist.
But Shangguan Hongye didn't change his expression, and punched Cang Qiao in the face with his fists one after another, hitting Cang Qiao in the face with his fists and kicks.
Cang Qiao was slow and leisurely, and easily avoided it with a casual movement of her body. However, she did not fight back. She only said coolly: "The weather is hot and dry. Your Highness, King Qin, is very angry. Why?"
