Uncle Yang suddenly realized that it was a child who talked too much. King Qin was bold and careful. As soon as he heard Hu Tou talk about candied haws, he knew that he had gone to find Hua Rong. As for the purpose of looking for Hua Rong, he knew what it was without even thinking about it. .
"The girl has personally promised to marry me. She is not a person who does not keep her word. As long as she agrees, there is no reason to leave without reason. If you hadn't forced her, how could she have left?"
Sanshu Yang said angrily: "I didn't force her, I just asked her to accept Li Tinglan, even if she and Li Tinglan are both legal wives. But she didn't even agree to this. This woman doesn't think about you at all, and she doesn't really like her. You. She agreed to marry you just to repay your life-saving grace and to protect her son... "
"Even if she wants to repay a favor, I still want it. Isn't it bad to repay a favor? Repaying a favor also shows that she likes me. If there is no kindness in life, how can there be feelings? Third uncle, why are you so picky? You don't think I'm good at all?"
Uncle Yang thumped the seat and became furious: "Am I picking on you? I'm doing this for your own good. What do you think of a manly man who doesn't care about making achievements and only focuses on women?"
"I am not unethical. Is it true that marrying a wife and having children cannot lead to success? The ancients also paid attention to 'getting married and establishing a career'. You must first get married before you can establish a career... "
Where did this kid learn this set of principles? Uncle Yang collapsed his seat and beat the mountain loudly: "Your Majesty, what kind of drug did she give you? It's enough that you have been crazy for more than ten years, and you are still not awake now? I hope you are a madman and not a crazy person. You are not ten How old are you? How old are you? Why can't you tell the difference? Yes, I did go to Hua Rong, but I didn't ask her to leave. As long as she accepts Li Tinglan, what does it mean to her? So difficult? This woman is selfish. If she is truly grateful, she should put you first in everything. She has gone through so many things, doesn’t she know that only when you become stronger can she take revenge on Yue Peng’s behalf? She didn't even care about the overall situation and left like this. If she still had half of her true feelings for you, wouldn't she be able to think about you at all? She wouldn't be able to sacrifice anything at all. If she really wanted to marry you, she would never leave. She doesn't want to think about you, she doesn't want to avenge her husband, she only cares about her own feelings, what use do you want from such a selfish woman? "
King Qin sneered: "If you put it this way, it's her fault?"
"I don't see what's so good about her. If she is really a virtuous and virtuous woman, she should respect Li Tinglan as your great master, patiently help you achieve great things, stay in Luoxia Island honestly, and raise her son to grow up. In this way, I am worthy of Yue Pengju who died, and I am worthy of you..."
"If that were the case, she wouldn't be Hua Rong!"
"That's because you haven't been together for a long time and have been married for a long time. All women in the world are the same."
King Qin turned around and left. Uncle Yang asked loudly: "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to drive away Li Tinglan right away and get the girl back. This situation can't continue any longer. I can't stand it anymore."
Uncle Yang almost jumped up: "Your Majesty, you can't do whatever you want!"
"Why are you here?" King Qin's face was ashen, "Third uncle, since you respect me as a king, you even want to interfere with my private affairs? Besides, I once broke an arrow and swore an oath that I would never let her down!"
"This is no longer your private matter! It is the matter of everyone on the island. You have become our leader, and until today, you are not only responsible for yourself, but also for the tens of thousands of sailors and tens of thousands of family members on the island. They follow you because they want to be clothed and fed, and then find glory and wealth, and have a wife and son. Cooperation with Yelv Dayong is one of our big plans. How can you say that you won't cooperate if you don't cooperate? "
King Qin suddenly turned around: "What do you mean?"
"You must marry Li Tinglan!"
King Qin's eyes were red and he was heartbroken: "I have already lived most of my life, how many more ten years can I wait for in the future? What I want most now is to have a wife and a son of my own. I can't wait any longer. I can’t wait any longer. Third uncle, I respect you as ‘third uncle’, but that doesn’t mean you can completely treat me like a puppet. I make my own decisions!”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back.
Sanshu Yang watched him leave helplessly, and he was so angry that he sighed: "Shu Zi is not enough for strategy, Shu Zi is not enough for strategy!"
At the door, Ma Su hesitated and did not dare to go in for a while.
Sanshu Yang saw him sneaking around and said angrily: "Ma Su, what do you think made the king so mad? His whole life was ruined at the hands of that woman. Beauty is a disaster, it is a disaster..."
Ma Su walked in, stood aside with his hands down, and said respectfully: "Third uncle, you don't have to worry."
"I have spent my whole life on him, being loyal to him, and planning for him. I didn't expect that he would fall out with me for a woman... It's a waste of time and money... Sigh... "
"Third uncle, Your Majesty, he is so old and has not yet married. He does need a woman to take care of him. He should have his own flesh and blood..."
Sanshu Yang said angrily: "You're old? What does it mean to be in your forties? Duke Wen of Jin did not return to Jin until he was 60 years old and ascended the throne. He wants women, and there are plenty of them. Why does he have to choose that one?"
Duke Wen of Jin, Chong'er, was one of the famous Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. He was framed by his father's favorite concubine when he was young. He fled and traveled around the country for many years. He did not succeed to the throne until his later years, and finally took over the world.
It's okay if Ma Su didn't say it. At this mention, King Qin became even more furious: "It's a pity that the king is compared to Duke Wen of Jin. This boy is not even worthy of carrying shoes with him. He has short knowledge and no ambition. He is really not material for great things. He If we become Duke Wen of Jin, we will also be considered Hu Yan, Jie Zitui..."
Ma Su whispered: "Third uncle, don't you know what happened to Jie Zitui?"
Uncle Yang was shocked. Jie Zitui was later set on fire by Duke Wen of Jin and burned to death.
"Since ancient times, the birds have been hidden and the rabbits have been cooked. Since the emperor of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, the emperors of all dynasties have crossed rivers and demolished bridges. Not to mention the distant past, as soon as the Taizu of this dynasty conquered the world, he would drink wine and release his military power, and Zhao Deji was even more heartbroken. , Yue Pengju and his wife have made great contributions and are loyal to him, but he even resorts to cruelty. Who can predict the heart of a king? "
Uncle Yang looked at Ma Su and was speechless for a moment.
"The king is determined to marry Hua Rong. I think not only is it not a bad thing, but on the contrary, it is a good thing. In this way, we can follow him with confidence and safety. Life is short, everything is just a false name, so what about princes and generals? Misfortune comes from the king's elbow and armpit. What's the point in the meantime? Your Majesty has such a temperament that he can treat a woman for more than ten or twenty years. If we force him to give up this time, his temperament will definitely change. Since he can give up even Hua Rong, from now on "What can't you give up?"
Sanshu Yang was speechless in reply, and after a long moment of melancholy he said: "That's okay, that's okay, it's just a pity that I have spent half my life's efforts..."
"Third uncle, your hard work will not be in vain. I think the cooperation with Yelu Dayong is not as beneficial as it seems on the surface. He is so deliberate, how can he give up the country to others? Even if it is passed to his 'grandson', But with his cruel methods, how can he be willing to give in so easily? I'm afraid that if our efforts are exhausted, it will just be making wedding clothes for others... "
"It's not that I didn't think of this, but there must be a road to reach the mountain, and Yelu Dayong can't finish it all by himself. Masu, in your opinion, what should we do?"
"Now that we have developed maritime trade, our economic strength has been greatly enhanced, and we are not so dependent on Yelu Dayong."
"But, how easy is it to develop land strength?" After all, they are Han people. Even pirates are deeply influenced by Confucianism. They pay attention to returning to their roots after fallen leaves, and pay attention to every inch of land. If you don't gallop on land, you won't have your feet on solid ground. On this land, no matter how wide the maritime power expands, it will never reach its peak. This is what Uncle Yang is most worried about. That's why he is so eager to marry Yelu Dayong and refuses to give up this great thing. He may also be the only one. Opportunity.
"The ocean is so vast and endless. When the power really grows, who knows if there will be other opportunities?"
Uncle Yang nodded helplessly and closed his eyes tiredly: "Ma Su, you go down. I am old and have lost my energy. I will count on you from now on."
Ma Su solemnly said: "I don't dare. How can I say that my third uncle is in charge of the overall situation? If the king really wants to achieve great things, he has to rely on his third uncle."
"Okay, you can go down. Hey. I have no children, and I have spent half my life planning for the king. What kind of idleness do I have? Hey! It's better to let this kid, Hutou, take care of me and spend my remaining years in peace."
The magic hand of early spring stretched out, and almost overnight, thousands of weeping willows sprouted green buds in the mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River and on the banks of the West Lake, hanging down softly, like the gentle hands of a passionate girl.
Hua Rong reined in his horse and looked at the "Yiyuan" in the distance at night, immersed in a dead atmosphere, which was incompatible with the breath of spring. This garden has been abandoned since Yue's house was ransacked, and there were rumors that Yue Pengju and his wife died tragically , in just one year, the resentment in the house persisted, and no one dared to act easily for fear of being contaminated by the ominous atmosphere.
Hua Rong stood there for a long time. For such a long time, she, Peng Ju, and her son lived in seclusion in this garden. Unfortunately, she still couldn't escape this disaster. After thinking sadly for a long time, she realized that if it were the time of Zhuxian Town, Peng He resolutely raised an army, no matter how miserable his life was, how could he be so miserably harmed by the conspiracy of Zhao Deji and Qin Hui
She hid her horse and moved forward slowly in the night. The city gates of Lin'an were not tall, and connected everywhere to the southeast, northwest, and northwest. She stood at the north gate, where she had escaped, which Peng Ju had earned with his life. There is a faint smell of blood. Is the husband's soul still echoing here
She looked at the spire of the Dali Temple Prison in the distance. Here, Zhao Deji and Qin Hui personally commanded the massacre, as well as their accomplices Wan Qiqi, Wang Jun, Zhang Jun and other accomplices... There were still faint traces of blood on the city wall, that was Peng Ju’s blood! Pengju died here.
She clenched her fists in the dark night, her whole body boiling with the smell of blood in her nose. "Sister Seventeen, don't avenge me... You must not..." She once said this to King Qin, because she knew that she could not fight against one person. Therefore, the imperial court is not willing to sacrifice the people closest to and caring about it in vain. However, when things come to a close, who can be so rational? Even though he knows that he is throwing an egg against a stone, he still cannot be rational at all.
