Chapter 75： showdown

"What about the Shuobei people?" Yang Dejin asked.

"Keep an eye on them first, they won't be able to leave for a while. If you have nothing to do, take them around and let them feel the humanistic style of Dasheng."

Yang Dejin grudgingly said, and wrote her rejection on her face.

Li Zichou: "...Ah shit, you are a high-ranking official now, can you do something practical?"

Yang Dejin pursed her lips and said nothing.

Seeing her slapping her face, Li Zishou continued, "Does Xie Zhi know that he was approached by a shopkeeper who threw his hands away?"

Yang Dejin: "You don't have to provoke me so much..."

Li Zifu patted her on the shoulder heavily: "Everything is for survival!"

"..." Yang Dejin admitted that she was afraid, "Okay."

Well, now the business has expanded to serve as a tour guide for others.

Li Zichou nodded in satisfaction: "As for discussing marriage, Shuobei cares so much about it, I'll let them give up on it."

Yang Dejin was a little worried: "Don't be too aggressive. In the original work, it was Li Fu who made people anxious, which led to the declaration of war between the two countries."

"Don't worry, I have my own measure." Li Zifu said so, but a chill flashed in his eyes, "But Yeludeira is so impolite, so we can't just let him go."

Yang Dejin nodded in agreement: "Exactly! Only by saying the right words to the right person at the right time and the right occasion can the right effect be achieved. I really don't know if Jeludia said that on purpose or on purpose!"

Li Zichou was a little surprised that she could say such philosophical words: "...Did you say that?"

Yang Dejin: "...No, this is what Mr. Guo said."

"Mr. Guo also said this sentence?"

"Of course, Mr. Guo's works are not only humorous, but also sometimes thought-provoking!"

Yang Dejin really likes Mr. Guo's show.

"Humorous..." Li Zichou was surprised, "I've only watched the historical dramas he wrote."

Yang Dejin paused: "Which Mr. Guo are you talking about?"

Li Zichou: "Guo Moruo."

Yang Dejin: "...uh." Sure enough.

Li Zichou also felt wrong: "Which Mr. Guo are you talking about?"

"..." Yang Dejin coughed lightly, "I'm talking about Mr. Guo from Deyun Club."

Li Zishou: "...Oh."

... Mr. Guo Degang.

I almost forgot that Yang Dejin still likes to watch cross talk.

Back then, it was thanks to Guo Degang's cross talk that the two of them could recognize each other by matching codes.

Thank you, Mr. Guo Degang.

"Cough! It's not important." Li Zishou brought back the topic of wandering, "Whether Jeludiala is careless or on purpose, he must be given a long memory..."

When Yang Dejin saw her head lowered and her face gloomy, she knew that she was planning to punish her. She swallowed unconsciously, and silently mourned for Yeludeira in advance in her heart.

Yang Dejin: "Be tougher."

Li Zishou: "Okay."

In this room, Li Zishou and Yang Dejin's cat were plotting for money and killing their lives together, and in that room, Bai Qingyang was not idle either.

Inside the Yuheng Palace, there was still the arrangement of Bai Qingyang, Xie Zhi, and Meng Shike.

"You two, what do you think?" Bai Qingyang asked lightly.

"The minister thinks that Yeludiel did it on purpose." Xie Zhi replied.

"But what is his purpose? Provocation?" Meng Shike answered.

Meng Shike's rank is not high enough, so he didn't attend the banquet in the Zichen Palace, and naturally he didn't see the pvp scene between Li Zichou and Yelu Diela, so he could only listen to other people's reports.

"The purpose is nothing more than to provoke me, Dasheng, to break the contract first, so that he can declare war in Shuobei." Bai Qingyang answered Meng Shike's question.

Meng Shike: "Then he doesn't need to provoke our little lord. He won't be unclear about the identity of the little lord. Why would he do this?"

Bai Qingyang: "That's why I brought the two of you here." After speaking, she waved to Xie Zhi.

Xie Zhi understood: "The informant from Yongzhou came to the news, saying that the prairie people have been too busy to take care of themselves recently. The eldest prince has been doing a lot of things these days, and the younger brothers under Yeludie are also restless."

The eldest prince was first established as the prince of Shuobei, and he was recognized as the heir of the Khan.

However, due to the secular election system that existed in the Shuobei Khanate earlier, all four of his younger brothers were eligible to become Khans. Seeing his elder brother's prosperity, they inevitably had other ideas, and Yeludeira was one of them.

In Bai Qingyang's memory, after the younger brothers' rebellion, the Shuobei Royal Court split into two distinct factions in terms of policy towards Dasheng - the wedding faction and the combat faction.

And Jerodiala belongs to the latter.

Meng Shike has never been in touch with matters related to Shuobei, and he knows nothing about the internal power struggle among foreigners, so he can't help being confused at the moment: "What do you mean?"

Xie Zhi: "It is well known that Jerodella and his younger brothers are eyeing the position of the eldest prince as crown prince.

"In order to avoid the sharp edge of his brothers, Yeludeira left the royal court to go to Dasheng.

"And he has a lot of plans behind his back. He probably wants his brothers to fight to the death before going back to collect the fisherman's profit."

Meng Shike: "Then what does this have to do with his rude words in Zichen Palace?"

Bai Qingyang: "He represented Shuobei to discuss marriage with Dasheng. How the relationship between Dasheng and Shuobei will develop depends entirely on him alone. Other people far away in the grassland can't easily touch him, and they can't touch him either.

"For Yeludiela, if the marriage is completed, he can compete to be Dasheng's son-in-law, and he will have more confidence in inheriting the grassland. If it doesn't work out, he is not at fault, and he has the right to come to Dasheng to play and avoid the limelight.

"If Dasheng and Shuobei are able to provoke fierce conflicts between the two countries like yesterday, then the rest of the royal court will have no time to deal with him."

Xie Zhi snorted coldly: "It's really harmless anyway, it's totally smart."

and cunning.

Meng Shike seemed to understand: "But the queen did not fulfill Yeludeira's wish."

Both Bai Qingyang and Xie Zhi nodded.

Li Zichou neither broke the contract nor made a marriage proposal, Yeludiel really hit a soft nail.

"But what should we do now? Yeludeira will not let it go until he achieves his goal." Meng Shike said worriedly.

Bai Qingyang stared at the tea powder sinking to the bottom of the tea set, and said in a calm tone, "Yeludeira wants to be alone and get the greatest results with the least cost, so we are not as good as he is."

Xie Zhi: "What's your plan?"

"Since there are so many dramas in Shuobei King's Court, we might as well add more firewood to make this farce intensify. When the situation is out of control, I wonder if Jeludiala still has the leisure to stay in Dasheng?"

Meng Shike and Xie Zhi looked at each other, then cupped their hands and said, "Please tell me clearly."

Bai Qingyang ordered: "Contact the spies of Shuobei Royal Court and ask them to help those brothers of Yeludie, and don't let the prairie people be too idle."

Meng Shike suddenly realized, got up from the Zen chair and said, "Let me do it."

Bai Qingyang nodded: "Go."

Xie Zhi watched his back leave, then turned to ask Bai Qingyang, "What do I need to do?"

"Accompany Prince Yu and entertain Shuobei envoys."

Xie Zhi: "I obey the order."

Bai Qingyang paused for a moment, and then said: "You keep an eye on Princess Ayigul, Yeludeira brought her by your side, I don't know if you have other plans."

Xie Zhi pondered for a while, really couldn't think of what kind of disturbance an innocent girl could cause: "Maybe it is to protect her from being affected by the chaos of the younger brothers?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out, and it's best to be careful in everything. What happened so far has deviated too much from the previous life, and past experience may not be useful." After finishing speaking, Bai Qingyang raised his teacup and took a sip.

Xie Zhi remained silent after listening, and looked over with probing eyes without hesitation.

Bai Qingyang didn't notice it when he was drinking, and only looked at Xie Zhi after he realized that the air had been silent for a while.

Bai Qingyang: "..." She put down the teacup calmly and asked what's wrong.

Xie Zhi grabbed the word "last life" in her words, hesitated for a while, and asked the question she had always wanted to know.

"What did Your Majesty do after leaving the palace that time?"

Bai Qingyang didn't realize it for a moment, but after seeing Xie Zhi's sad face, she realized that "Your Majesty" was calling her, and Xie Zhi was calling herself as Bai Qingyang's former vassal.

The day before Bai Qingyang was reborn, he left the palace under the pretext of going back to the former prime minister's mansion, and then committed suicide there.

The content of Xie Zhi's words was to ask Bai Qingyang what he did after he bid farewell to the palace.

After a brief silence, Bai Qingyang said, "It's nothing, I just went back to the old house."

"and then?"

"..."

Bai Qingyang seemed reluctant to say it, Xie Zhi could probably guess why, but she needed an answer, even if this answer would bring back bad memories for both of them.

Xie Zhi: "You died once, right?"

Bai Qingyang: "..."

Xie Zhi didn't let go of any of her expressions, and said without hesitation: "In the prime minister's residence?"

Bai Qingyang still didn't answer, but he didn't deny it either.

"Self-judgment?"

Bai Qingyang said at the right time: "It's all over."

"Not over." Xie Zhi denied.

"Xie Zhi, you don't have to show that expression, you have nothing to do with it, it's just me being too cowardly."

Xie Zhi's eyes couldn't help being a little sore: "After you died, I looked back, four months ago, when you first entered the palace."

Bai Qingyang was a little surprised, but he didn't react much, he just replied: "Master Xie is still alive and well, that's great."

"...No," Xie Zhi lowered his head to hide the tears in his eyes, "it's because I'm incompetent."

"As I said before, my death has nothing to do with Mr. Xie, and you have nothing to do with it." Bai Qingyang comforted him patiently, "Also, this is not the Qing Dynasty, and I will not be the new Empress. Mr. Xie, please don't call me Your Majesty."

"It's... the empress."

Bai Qingyang smiled when she heard the words, she knew that Xie Zhi hadn't let go, but time would eventually dilute the pain of the past, and it would not be good for her to be obsessed with what was a foregone conclusion.

What's more, how lucky they are to usher in a new beginning and have someone who cares by their side.

"I implore the empress to do one thing, and you must agree."

Xie Zhi seldom begged himself, Bai Qingyang couldn't help being puzzled: "You say it."

The tears had already been forced back by Xie Zhi, but the eye sockets were still red: "Your Majesty, this time, you can't be too **** yourself."

Bai Qingyang: ...This is how much shadow it left on Xie Zhi.

"Okay, I promise you."

The author has something to say:

Li Zishou: Compared with this (referring to Bai Qingyang), my methods are not enough.

Yang Dejin: Why do you have to have trouble with full-level players when you just left Novice Village?

I died laughing. Today, when I was studying Chinese New Poetry, the teacher mentioned Guo Moruo. The original words were: When you think of Guo Moruo, your first reaction may be that he is unlucky, but in fact, his literary attainments are quite... that, right?

There is absolutely no **** behavior in this chapter, and the cross talk is really beautiful.
