Who can let a girl who has been ill for a long time and has a serious illness 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, I naturally 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, leaned against the window and looked at the sky: "It's no different if I have a fiancée or if I don't have a fiancée. What's the matter with you Central Plains women? When she gets engaged, she goes 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. All the money has been sent to Northeast Xinjiang for you. The mines and arsenal there have started 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 understand 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 to it.
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 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 knew you asked me to make money for you and rebel, and used my body and brain to the fullest...!"
