Chapter 382: The Key to the Situation

It is said to be ordinary because in Princess Xiangshan's opinion, how to say the arrangement of this flower hall is too ordinary. There should be antique calligraphy and painting arrangements, but it is not surprising, and there is no unique feature of it. It is just that it is mediocre. If you want to praise, you can't find any special features, and you can't criticize it.

Such a style is really rare among high-end and wealthy families. Those who pay attention to the details rack their brains to decorate the flower halls differently to show their personal taste. Those who don’t pay attention to the details are very casual, and there are many inappropriate places.

After observing the flower hall, and following the brief exchange with the Princess Ding at the birthday party of the Princess Xue of Guo County, Princess Xiangshan felt a little confident. Princess Ding was hiding her weakness. She was obviously a kind-hearted person, but she was concealed in front of others. Don’t blame a small concubine with a humble background to be able to firmly sit in the position of the princess.

There are many people in the world who can defend the poverty, but not many people can act without being arrogant or impetuous after being rich overnight. Especially according to her investigation, Princess Ding was treated like this by her parents before, but she did not feel resentful or even revenge. Instead, she gave a lot of convenience. She would not be a successful person to repay her kindness with kindness.

I hope she can also measure the pros and cons so calmly in dealing with major issues of family and country.

After just sitting for a while, Su Yiqing came out surrounded by maids and servants. Her clothes were just like the decorations in the living room. They were neither too gorgeous nor too simple, and they were just so ordinary. The only special thing was that she wore a thin silk veil on her face.

It’s nothing special about wearing a veil. The noble lady of Dazhou often wears it when she goes out, but she also takes it with her when she doesn’t go out, so she’s a little bit.

Su Yiqing saw Princess Xiangshan’s doubts. After sitting down, she stroked the veil and explained: “I’ve been feeling a little itchy recently. I’m pregnant and it’s inconvenient to take medicine. This is what a doctor suggested. Wearing a veil will not blow directly into my throat, which is more effective. I hope the princess won’t mind.”

"Of course not, it's even more important. But I came to the door to disturb me, and I hope Princess Ding will forgive me." Princess Xiangshan also said politely. Not to mention that she asked Princess Ding, even if she was just visiting her, the owner would explain this way. It's really unreasonable to be petty about this little thing.

"I know that the princess is not the one who comes to chat for nothing, so she won't mind." Su Yiqing smiled faintly again and ordered the little maid to exchange a cup of tea for Princess Xiangshan, which is a kind of herbal tea that the women of the fierce tribe like to drink.

The subtle actions made Princess Xiangshan feel a little touched. People who can inquire about other people's preferences and do not act deliberately always make people feel comfortable getting along. Don't look at a small cup of tea, if the host asks the guest what tea he likes to drink first and then serve it up, it seems that the host is polite on the surface, but it is actually easy to make the guest embarrassed. If the guest inadvertently says a tea that the host doesn't happen. When it is reported, others will say that the guest is so rude. The host just asks politely and really orders tea that is not common for others to make things difficult for others.

People who really care about it will ask about the guests’ favorites in advance and then serve the tea they like. However, if they don’t have much contact with the Ding Prince’s Mansion like her, they really don’t need to be so deliberate. But the Ding Princess has found out, obviously he is a person who is interested, and this intention makes people feel comfortable.

Since the princess was so direct, Princess Xiangshan thought about it and was not going around the bush. They knew everything clearly, and there was no need to turn into eighteen corners. They were still big, so don’t disturb them too much. So she said, “I’m going to tell the princess that the relationship between the Meng clan and the Great Zhou Dynasty has been a little nervous recently. Although I am a woman, I don’t want the relationship between the two countries to be bad. I am not familiar with the place here, and I don’t know who to discuss with me. I can only come to visit, hoping that the princess can give me some advice.”

People have said this, so Su Yiqing couldn't hide it and pretend not to know, or say something irrelevant, and sighed: "In this world, the most difficult thing is women. Women do many things, but the one that has the most influence is women. I also know the princess's worries. What can I do in the country? "

Princess Xiangshan looked sad and said, "The princess said this, which really made me feel ashamed. But I want the princess to know that my Feng Clan has a blood-sweat hatred with Dajing. My grandfather was killed by Zhao Boyang's father, and my father almost died from Zhao Boyang's hands. There are countless warriors in our tribe who died at the hands of the Zhao family army. We have a blood-sweat hatred with the Zhao family."

As soon as he finished speaking, a maid behind Su Yiqing coughed gently, as if there was something to suggest.

Princess Xiangshan looked at Princess Ding's slightly raised belly and woke up. In front of her was a pregnant woman. She said something about her life-long bitterness and suffering, and she was very inappropriate, and she immediately looked embarrassed, but it wouldn't work if she didn't say it.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Su Yiqing said lightly: "I, a woman, don't know much about the Meng clan, Dajing and even the Great Zhou. It's not convenient to express my opinion. It's just that there is something heard. I want to ask the princess, is it true?"

Princess Xiangshan immediately said, "Please ask the princess to make it clear."

Su Yiqing said: "I heard that a man of a man made a fortune by selling fur business in Dazhou. He then opened a casino or even brothel and put a stamp of money on it. Is it true?"

Princess Xiangshan blushed and said, "I don't know much about this. After all, these businesses are a bit unlucky. It's just that the casinos and brothels are not illegal in the Dazhou. Merchants are all profit-seeking. I think they are a little greedy for profit and they are greedy for profit to start such a business."

Su Yiqing nodded, "I think so, although this kind of business is not illegal, if someone lures children from aristocratic families to gamble, or even set up fraudulent gambling, and force good people to become prostitutes, this is illegal. It is reasonable to not know that the princess is a woman who is not clear about it. But as far as I know, the gambling game for the fierce clans is too big, and the fraud is quite serious. In addition, forcing good people to become prostitutes and trafficking good women, etc., are very harmful in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Many royal relatives, children or tribe members of princes and ministers are deeply harmed, and the impact is extremely bad. The emperor of Yancheng is better at the feet of some places in other places. In some places, it is forced to pull rich children into the casino, put stamps and money to collect profits, and climb over the wall at night to hold the beautiful little jade in the small family. The local officials dare not speak out due to the relationship between the two countries. The people complained, which has caused public outrage."

These words are a little tactful, but Su Yiqing doesn't really believe it. Princess Xiangshan really knows nothing about this, but she just wants to give the other party some face no matter what. After all, according to Lian Yufeng's investigation, these vicious princess Xiangshan did not participate in it or maintain it, and it was the private act of the people below.

Princess Xiangshan had no choice but to open her eyes and tell lies, so she could only say: "This matter must have been done by some bad people in the Meng clan, and most of the Meng clans are still very law-abiding."

Su Yiqing said lightly: "That's right, but let alone the foreign tribes of the Meng tribe, even if there are unfilial children in Yancheng, once there are unfilial children in the tribe who do things that harm the heavens and reason, ordinary people will attribute them to their families. Not to mention that the Meng tribe is a foreign tribe. The people can't tell the difference between the several families and surnames of the Meng tribe. Only know that this kind of viciousness is done by the Meng tribe. The princess married into my Dazhou. She is the daughter-in-law of the Dazhou, but it cannot be said that she sits alone and ignores this kind of viciousness. After all, it is better to restrain her at the same time. It will not cause a few illegal people to implicate the reputation of the vast majority of legal merchants."

Princess Xiangshan's face turned red and white, and Princess Ding's words came to the forefront. According to her inquiries over the past few days, Lian Yufeng and others told the Emperor of the Great Zhou to ignore the requests of the Meng clan. The reason for being alert was that many officials jointly wrote a letter pointing out the various evil deeds of the Meng clan in the territory of the Great Zhou. They asked the emperor to severely punish them and could not tolerate them. If the Great Zhou showed weakness at this time and were easily threatened by the Meng clan, then the bad merchants of the Meng clan would be even more rampant in the Great Zhou in the future, and the good people of the Great Zhou would suffer.

In addition, since the two countries formed an alliance, the Meng clan has obtained a lot of food and grass help from the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou also obtained a lot of gorgeous furs and some rare horses through the mutual market. However, relatively speaking, the Meng clan has lived the material for the people to live, while the Great Zhou has only received some decorations from the powerful and nobles, which is dispensable and does not benefit the people. In this way, the Meng clan actually dared to threaten the Great Zhou to break off diplomatic relations, which is really outrageous.

No matter how eloquent a strategist is, he cannot turn black into white. Besides, if the Meng clan and the Zhao family army are married, it will have little impact on the Great Zhou. The current situation of Dajing's three-part world is that even if he is married to the Meng clan, it will not be possible to unite to attack the Great Zhou. What's more, there is a bloody and sweat feud between these two families, so how can it easily turn wars into jade?

Although the Meng clan also used a lot of money to bribe one or two officials, saying that the Zhao family army is now strong and strong, and is the strongest among the Dajing. If they unite with the Meng clan, they might be able to unify the world of Dajing. Then they come back to their senses. They will be the biggest concern of my Dazhou. They must not let it grow.

But some people have suggested that if one side of Zhao Boyang really fights with the other two sides of Dajing, the casualties will be very heavy. If that time comes, it will be too late for me, Dazhou, to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Why bother to attack while they are at their peak now? Dazhou really wants to fight with the Zhao family army to the death, and who will reap the benefits of the fisherman in the end.

The Feng Clan is now screaming fiercely. If the two countries really want to jointly attack Dajing, this winter, the Feng Clan has suffered heavy snow, and many cattle and sheep are killed or injured. They are not enough to eat, so there must be no food or food. Needless to say, the food and grass must be supplied by the Dazhou. How many soldiers, generals, and war horses will the Feng Clan have?

If you really want to jointly attack Dajing, let’s discuss these things first. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the Great Zhou to gather a large army. If you really want to gather together, gather at the border to prepare for war. The fierce clans cannot produce one army and one soldier, and the war cannot be fought. What should the gathered army of the Great Zhou do? Disband on the spot? That’s a joke. Now is the spring plowing season. If you really want to recruit troops to attack Dajing, what should you do if you have any missed farm work? If you can’t plant food, you have to prepare another batch of military food and grass, so what should you ask ordinary people to eat?

If we really want to make the people hungry and the people are in chaos, the current situation in Dajing is just a model of Dazhou.

If the Great Zhou army gathers, Dajing will definitely have to face the battle. At that time, the battle will be difficult, and if it is not fought, the outcome will be unknown. Even if it wins, the casualties will definitely be severe. If there is another possibility, it will shake the foundation of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

No matter how clever the words of Princess Xiangshan are, some facts cannot be distorted.

Finally, Su Yiqing said sincerely: "Princess, I am a woman and I don't understand the great facts of the imperial court, but no matter what, both countries have to show sincerity and let the people of both countries benefit. I also heard about some of the things that the Meng clan's illegal merchants have in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I don't know if there are such illegal merchants in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If so, please ask the princess not to hide it for them. I tell the Great Zhou Dynasty. I don't think the Great Zhou Dynasty will tolerate it."

"The princess is right, but I have been married for a long time and don't know much about the matters of the Feng Clan. I still need to inquire about it carefully." Princess Xiangshan said casually. In fact, she knew in her heart that the Feng Clan was fierce and there would be no officials who were afraid of merchants and dared not restrain themselves. Therefore, even if the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty had the will, these viciousnesses could not be exerted within the Feng Clan.

After a brief conversation, Princess Xiangshan did not receive a satisfactory reply, but also received some useful information. She sat down and said goodbye.

After Princess Xiangshan left, Su Yiqing returned to the room, removed the veil and let out a long breath.

It was really uncomfortable to talk with a veil, but there was no way. The situation is now complicated, and maybe there was a spy from Dajing in Yancheng. For safety, she would wear a veil when she met outsiders. When she was pregnant, she could not wear too much makeup. She was easily recognized by people when facing the sky.

Have a little rest.

Madam Qing came in a hurry again and brought a message from Mrs. Meng.

It is said that Mrs. Meng is a little worried about the recent situation. Both sons of the Meng family are in the military camp, but they are still young. If there is really any war, she is afraid that her son will be worried about his life when he goes to the battlefield. But if nothing happens, he will rashly call his son back, which will definitely affect his son's future.

I just wanted to ask, if nothing happened, I would let my son take him in the military camp. If there was really danger, I would find an excuse first and call his two sons back.

Su Yiqing was not sure, and she was fighting as soon as she said the situation was about to fight. She was about to say that if Mrs. Meng was worried, she would really call her two sons back. Anyway, her son was still young, and such a small thing would have limited impact on the future. But as soon as she opened her mouth, she saw the green vine standing behind Madam Qing winking.

After receiving the hint from Green Teng, Su Yiqing pretended to ponder for a while and told Madam Qing that it was of great importance. She had to ask the prince for the exact news and then reply to Mrs. Meng in two days.

Madam Qing did not doubt it and sued her, saying that the person who sent the letter was still waiting. She asked Mrs. Meng to wait for two days to inform the exact news. (To be continued ~^~)
