385: Another year [two-in-one](1/2)
To win over people from the Xunnan Zhao family?
Zhai Huan naturally understood the meaning behind these words.
He said: "Previously I wanted you to have a good relationship with Zhao's Sanniang. She fell in love with you, and your temperament will not let her down. It's a win-win situation. But after experiencing A Jing's incident, I realized that some things cannot be forced...
Compared to Xunnan Zhao's help, Ah Le, as my brother, I hope you can get what you want."
"Life is too short, don't leave any regrets."
Zhai Le frowned and thought.
Didn't give the answer right away.
But now we do need strong allies.
The former king's uncle handed over the military power, but the soldiers under him were from different places, factions, and positions. They were a mixed bag. Previously, he could barely control them by relying on his status as the king's uncle and a group of cronies.
Now that the holder of the national seal has changed, it is equivalent to breaking the balance and suppressing the core of these soldiers.
They were all on the verge of making a move and were not very cooperative.
If they are not careful, they may collude to riot and counter Brother Brother... Although the possibility of success is unlikely, it will also make the situation further chaotic, which is not what Zhai Le wants to see.
In the past few days, he has promoted a group of his cronies. Although their positions are not obvious, they can get first-hand information whenever there is any trouble. They also used the name of the former king's uncle to disrupt the original establishment so that they could not
Hug a group.
But this is not a long-term solution and is still not enough.
The current calm is just an illusion after all.
It can easily be broken by external forces or internal factors.
Brother has to devote all his efforts to wrangling with those old foxes - these old foxes are not most concerned about who the leader of the country is or what his surname is, but more about their own interests, and they all want to take advantage of Zhai Huan's unstable power to gnaw a piece of flesh and blood.
Zhai Le saw it in his eyes and felt anxious in his heart.
"Ale, do you really want to marry Zhao's third wife?"
Zhai Le didn't think much about it.
His eyes were firm and he said: "Yes, I think so."
Although it is not out of liking but after weighing the pros and cons, a two-way relationship may not be perfect, and a one-way relationship may not be regretful. Zhai Le paused and said: "Or...ask her what she means first? If not
willing……"
He said: "Then please trouble me brother to find another one."
Zhai Huan was silent and patted his cousin on the shoulder.
Sighing: "Okay."
Before Zhai Le left, he did not forget to tell Zhai Huan to use his scribe's way as little as possible. Although brother did not say how much burden the scribe's way would have on him after he had perfected it, judging from the great success of his first appearance
, the price is not small.
Zhai Huan said funnyly: "Well, there will be a sense of propriety."
In Zhai Huan's view, the effect of this scribe's method can only be described as "tasteless". It is tasteless to eat and it is a pity to discard it.
If you are too dependent, you may die without knowing how.
Indeed, it can implant a real memory in people. Even if the person knows that there is a problem, it is difficult to avoid it. If you think that the way of the scribes is invincible because of this... it would be too naive, because the real confrontation is still outside the way of the scribes.
Take the uncle of the former king as an example.
If the false identity Zhai Huan set for himself was not the "true king who was left behind", but the confidant/biological son of the former king's uncle, could he still persuade the other party to use troops to force him into the palace?
Impossible, because the benefits brought by the latter's identity are far less than those of the former, and it is not worth the other party taking the risk of killing the nine tribes to gain great wealth... It is not so much the way of the scribes that made the other party rebel and be used by Zhai Huan. It would be better to say that the blueprint benefits given by Zhai Huan touched the insatiable greed deep in the other party's heart, and they hit it off...
For another example, if Zhai Huan is dealing with the likes of Qi Shan, pretends to be a relative for himself, and then encourages Qi Shan to kill Shen Tang, then what he is waiting for may not be Qi Shan's sincere cooperation, but the other party's butcher's knife. .
The real difficulty of this scribe's way is that it requires an accurate understanding of the opponent's human weaknesses - if you value your family, you should start with your family; if you value material things, you should start with interests; if you value fame, you should start with reputation...
There is another type of person who is the most special.
That is, those who enshrine their moral integrity on the altar. Such people are often difficult to get into and extremely troublesome...
The situation in Shen State has changed rapidly.
Even Sanniang Zhao, who was in the boudoir, was also affected.
When she heard that the boy she had liked for many years was going to form a romantic alliance with Shu Ji, she was depressed for several days in a row, and her body, which was already thin, became thinner and thinner. Her parents, brothers and sisters tried to persuade her, and her younger brother even deliberately made trouble to tease her. laugh.
Zhao Sanniang has never been truly happy either.
It's not that she doesn't know the seriousness of the problem.
That Shu Ji name is also well-known in the boudoir circle. She will use various means to grab whoever she likes, no matter whether the person is married, unmarried or engaged.
She can covet married men, but she doesn't allow others to miss her man, otherwise she may be killed.
If it weren't for Shu Ji being so cruel and unkind, taking the lives of innocent people on her hands, breaking up other people's marriages, and making people angry... Zhao Sanniang would still be vaguely envious of her - it's rare for a woman to live such a willful life.
Of course, I just envy the other party's freedom rather than the other party's style. But when I think about it, Shu Ji's freedom is also given to her as the brother of the king. Because of her blood rather than Shu Ji's own, I feel a little lacking...
Let’s get back to the point.
Once Zhai Le and Shuji get married, and Shuji, who is under the impression that she has proposed marriage to Zhai Le, will be made things difficult for her even if she is protected by her family, and will cause trouble to her family.
Thinking about this, Zhao Sanniang felt depressed again.
You can't just let go of someone you've loved for many years. The taste is much more bitter than the concoction served by the maid.
She closed her eyes and drank it all in one gulp. On the day of Zhai Le's wedding, she tossed and turned until late at night before falling asleep from exhaustion.
It was three o'clock in the morning before I felt weak and woke up.
The news that came one after another made her confused again and again.
The marriage between Zhai Le and Shuji fell apart, Shuji died, and the king died, all because of brother Zhai Huan...
When her mother told her, she all said with envy: "This Zhai Yuewen is really affectionate and righteous."
People with a discerning eye can see that even though Zhai Huan was ambitious, he was not so ambitious as to overthrow the royal court. He was more interested in assisting the royal court and bringing order to things. However, Shuji killed Zhai Huan's fiancée, so Zhai Huan immediately killed her.
A burst of anger turns the crown into beauty.
Isn't this more romantic and moving than the popular folk tales?
Zhao Sanniang thought casually, if Zhai Le's marriage failed, doesn't it mean that she still has a chance?
Her mother could see her thoughts at a glance.
Said: [Don’t do stupid things.]
Zhao Sanniang said: [My daughter just thinks so...]
As a boudoir girl, begging her parents to take the initiative to propose marriage to the Zhai family is the most outrageous thing she has ever done in her life. How can she have the courage to do it again? The Zhai family is currently in a whirlpool, and Zhai Le probably has no intention of talking about marriage.
Her mother smiled and said: [Just wait in peace.]
Zhao Sanniang: [Wait?]
[When Mr. Zhai came to propose marriage, your father told your mother that Zhai Yuewen killed the king in front of the palace. He killed the king quickly and happily, but the mess left behind had to be solved by him. Mr. Zhai was short of manpower and could not suppress it.
In this situation, it is natural to seek allies. What allies are more reassuring than in-laws? Not to mention Zhai Le, you can choose any of the other unmarried men of the Zhai family.】
Zhao Sanniang's heart moved.
I felt a little disdainful of myself for wanting to take advantage of the situation, but I was also vaguely looking forward to it - Zhai Le would really come to ask for marriage?
She stayed in her small courtyard, tending to the flowers and plants, and occasionally feeding the fish in the pond, but the time passed slowly and torturously.
A few days later, Zhai Le came to visit.
But it's not about asking her parents to propose marriage.
But to see her.
Zhao Sanniang was worried and nervous.
Through a screen, she could vaguely see the figure on the other side of the screen. It was a young man who had grown into an adult.
The people waiting around are waiting outside the door.
Zhai Le took a deep breath secretly to relieve his inexplicable tension.
"Ms. Zhao Sanniang..." Zhai Le couldn't bear to call her by her nickname, so he asked slightly hesitantly, "I heard... you like me?"
Zhao Sanniang: "..."
His face turned red and white, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to crawl into the ground.
But he still endured the embarrassment and said: "Yeah."
Although he knew the answer, it was still quite strange to hear the other party admit it personally. Zhai Leguang remembered the profound memory of offending the other party when he was a child and being beaten by his father. He had no idea that the other party would like him. How could he have imagined this?
"Then I ask to marry you, will you?"
Zhao Sanniang's face was no longer pale, only red.
So red it could bleed.
To be continued...
