Hearing what Shen Tang said, he raised his head and asked with his eyes.
“Yuanliang, what do you think I do? Isn’t it clear enough?”
“It’s quite clear, but Lord, don’t you need to polish it a bit?”
Sending wreaths to attend funerals is not a big problem. Even if the two countries are at odds and go to war, sending envoys to attend funerals is still humane. No matter how crazy Wu Xian is, he will not kill people. He just plainly said that he was going to fight Bei Mo to fight Wu Xian, but he wasn't angry to death?
Wu Xian would be saved from trouble if he was angry to death.
But the lord's reputation in the history books is not easy to deal with.
Shen Tang glanced at the living man hiding in the corner writing and drawing, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "What are you polishing? Uehara said."
I don’t know how those kings in the past could tolerate Qi Lang.
After thinking about it, she understood again.
Chili Lang's temper is as stinky and tough as a stone in a latrine. If he doesn't allow the other party to record the truth truthfully, he is willing to stick out his neck and wait for death. Of course, it is also possible to compile history books and write unofficial histories privately. Official history may not be serious, but unofficial history must be wild and can only be indulged.
Qishan said: "Wei."
Shen Tang’s smile was a bit evil.
She was looking forward to Wu Xian's twisted face.
“I hope I can make it in time.”
No accident, it will come naturally.
Nowadays, customs have not changed, and burials are carried out almost everywhere. The mourning period should be at least seven days before burial. For wealthy people, the mourning period should be double seven or three seven days, which means fourteen days or twenty-one days.
If you can find scribes and warriors to help preserve the body, it will slow down the rate of decay and make the corpse last longer. This is true among the people, not to mention the royal family. Some corpses even have to wait for the completion of luxurious mausoleums, or wait for their partners to die and be buried together.
The spirit has been suspended for several years or even more than ten years.
I heard that the longest record is thirty-seven years.
Wu Xian lost his wife and son this time, two sons in a row, so the funeral was naturally a big deal. Mrs. Mi was quite puzzled by this. On that day, Wu Xian rushed to the mourning hall of his wife and children with a knife. Although he did not do anything drastic and was finally persuaded, he still had a grudge in his heart and did not show up for the next few days. She had served Wu Xian for so many years, and it was obvious that Wu Xian was completely angry.
His affection for mother and son was also torn to pieces after Gao Guo and Kang Guo completely broke up. Even if there is still three points of unresolved love, the remaining seven points must be resentment. That being the case, why did he order the three people's affairs to be arranged?
Is Wu Xian so generous?
“Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger...”
It is easy to imagine how energy-consuming it is to deal with the unnecessary affairs of the first queen and the two queens' legitimate sons. Mrs. Mi was also the number one concubine in the inner court, so many people stared at her mistakes.
These days, she is walking on thin ice and is trembling with fear.
Performed impeccably during the day.
I was very tired as soon as I returned to my palace.
“My sister is smart, have you noticed anything?”
The sisters who had been separated for many years finally reunited. Wu Xian graciously allowed Mrs. Mi's sister to stay in the side hall to accompany her for a long time, and did not restrict her from entering and exiting the palace. This honor was unique.
The younger sister took a sip of tea.
“There is a great mourning in the country, and there is war outside.”
The funerals of the three queens and the three queens were arranged in such a grand manner, naturally not because of Wu Xian's deep nostalgia for the past - of course, outsiders did praise him a lot because of his generosity. He loved his wife and children, was a loving father, and even conspired to kill his son. Even if a father can forgive him, who can say that Wu Xian doesn't love his wife and son? Regardless of the past grudges, they arranged a beautiful posthumous affair for the three of them - the real reason was because of the war.
Mrs. Mi has lived in the palace for a long time and does not quite understand the connection between the two: "This...I don't understand. Isn't it because of the war outside that we have to save money and food, streamline expenses, and save money and food to support the soldiers? Why waste it on idle things? superior?"
In the past, when Wu Xian was fighting abroad, the queen would do this.
Led by the queen, the women were encouraged to live a simple life and have simpler food, clothing, housing and transportation. The saved cloth, money and grain were used to care for the wives, children and mothers of the soldiers who died in the war, or to purchase a batch of supplies and send them to the front line to express condolences to the soldiers. Not much, just expressing my feelings.
Mrs. Mi doesn’t like luxury and responds positively every time.
Before Wu Xian ascended the throne, Mrs. Mi had been helping the queen. She followed her every day and learned a lot of housekeeper cooking skills. If not, after Wu Xian founded the country, she would not be able to manage the power of the central palace to her.
What my sister said is different from what I thought in the past.
The younger sister explained patiently: "Sister, don't think about the war between the two countries being too complicated. Just think of it as a conflict between two families. The owner named Wu lost his wife and son and was in mourning. The person named Shen next door came up and wanted to smash the mourning hall. Okay, can this be smashed?"
In the past, there was an unwritten rule that no troops could be raised during major funerals.
It’s not so particular now, but the principle is the same.
Not only will families who have had their mourning hall smashed up not only not be devastated, but they will also hate the intruders, and then they will burst out with strong momentum, drive out the **** gangsters who have no sense to smash the mourning hall, and beat them to death!
What Wu Xian wants is not fame, but momentum!
Compared with the momentum, the money spent on doing simple things is not worth mentioning.
Mrs. Mi nodded thoughtfully.
I didn’t expect that there was such a way.
"But—" Mrs. Mi carefully observed her surroundings and was convinced that the wall had no ears, so she whispered, "If the two countries go to war, wouldn't our side be at a disadvantage? Does this situation also work?"
It seems that Gao Guo sneaked into Heyin County on the border, and the next day he killed the family's envoy for accountability. It doesn't matter whether Gao Guo was in national mourning or not, why did he come to destroy the mourning hall?
Sister smiled: "Do ordinary people know the truth?"
Mrs. Mi shook her head: "Probably I don't know."
Most common people are exhausted just running for a living for their family, and have no time or channels to understand this.
"Yes, the common people don't know. Since they don't know, then shouldn't it be up to the court to tell the truth about the truth?" My sister smiled mockingly, "The common people don't know why the two countries suddenly turned against each other, but they will know that the mother of the country passed away and the whole country was mourned. , the neighboring countries, regardless of time or sentiment, raised their troops to attack. As long as there is still a little bit of blood, Kang Guo's evil deeds will not be allowed to succeed. "
In this way, Wu Xian's goal has been achieved.
At the same time, he also hacked Shen Tang from a neighboring country.
How can a person who takes advantage of the national mourning in a neighboring country and raises an army to invade the country be a good person? From the beginning to the end, Wu Xian was just a middle-aged poor man who lost his wife and children. One wave after another happened again. Before he could recover from the grief, he was stabbed in the back by his close relative Shen Tang!
Folk rumors say that Shen Tang and Wu Xiantang are deeply in love.
They are brothers and sisters, so why should they be close by flesh and blood?
Now he is stabbed in the back. Who would not sympathize with this experience?
Mrs. Mi opened her mouth, but she couldn't digest the words for a long time. Her expression was full of the words "How can you confuse right and wrong like this". Later, she remembered that she was Wu Xian's woman, and she looked sarcastic: "It's a lie after all, aren't you afraid of being exposed?"
What is false cannot be true, and what is true cannot be false.
“Human cognition is not easy to change.”
It’s just like the prejudice against women in this world, which is deeply rooted in the bones and cannot be corrected so easily. Especially for the common people, once this group preconceptionally believes that Wu Xian is the victim, and then wants them to admit that Shen Tang is the victim and Wu Xian is the perpetrator, or a hypocritical perpetrator, it is as difficult as heaven.
Mrs. Mi recalled these words with a complicated expression.
With her in full charge, Wu Xian is the hands-off shopkeeper.
Only show up when necessary and put on a show.
His intentions were just like what his sister had guessed.
Mrs. Mi's face looked as usual, but her heart suddenly felt cold.
Lying in the coffin are his first wife and two legitimate sons. The former accompanied him through the most painful years. They have been married for more than 20 years now. In the end, even his posthumous affairs have become a bargaining chip for his political show. I don’t know how sincere he is. , how sad. Mrs. Mi is even more worried.
Within two days, envoys from Kang State came to attend the funeral.
When Mrs. Mi heard the news, her hands shook.
Confirm again and again: "Who did you say is coming?"
Is coming at this juncture adding fuel to the fire?
The palace man said: "The envoy from Kang State."
The women who were keeping watch in batches in the mourning hall also looked at each other in confusion.
Mistakenly thinking that one’s own ears are hearing hallucinations.
In fact, the envoy from Kang State arrived at the capital of King Gao the day before yesterday. His petition to see Wu Xian failed, and he was left in the dark for a day or two. Only today was he allowed to come to express his condolences. Mrs. Mi hurried over, and a group of foreign women were arranged to go to the side hall. The main hall was filled with courtiers.
Wu Xian's face looked even more haggard than the previous few days.
“What did the messenger come to do?”
The messenger was respectful and polite: "Condolences."
Mrs. Mi looked at the envoy carefully.
The messenger was dressed plainly and decently, and his appearance was gorgeous, flamboyant, and exquisite. But when he nodded and smiled at Wu Xian, he had an inexplicable look of treachery on his face. Along with the messenger came a young scribe with a weak face and green eyes.
"Condolences? Do you really express condolences? Or do you have other plans?" Before Wu Xian could speak, some courtiers stood up and sarcastically said.
Messenger: "Of course it is sincere."
Wu Xian was cold and perfunctory: "Master Shen is interested."
The relationship between the two countries is tense, but the deceased is the most important, so it is still not ugly in front of the mourning hall. Therefore, the courtiers did not make things difficult, they just stared at the two of them and offered three sticks of incense to the three queens. The envoy bowed to the three coffins again, and heard someone humming underneath: "The weasel is giving New Year greetings to the chicken..."
Who knows what peace of mind is?
Facts have proved that the messenger did not have good intentions.
After offering the incense, the messenger took out another letter and gave it to Wu Xian.
You can tell who wrote it without even looking at the signature.
Wu Xian knew that Shen Tang's dog mouth couldn't spit out ivory, so when he opened it, he was still very angry. He snorted and tore up the letter, and looked at the two envoys fiercely: "You are very brave!"
I just chopped off the head of a messenger before.
Aren’t you afraid that your own head will also be taken off?
The messenger smiled calmly: "The Lord Wu will not do it."
Wu Xian sneered three times, and his murderous intent was revealed: "Does Messenger Liao know what is written in this letter? Such crazy and crazy remarks are a great shame and humiliation for Wu. Today, I will kill you two here. In the future, history books There is nothing to criticize!"
Although he had been pampered and rarely used force over the years, as the leader of the country, the power he exuded was only too strong. The entire mourning hall was shrouded in terrible coercion, but the envoy Liao remained unmoved and looked calm: "The leader of Wu is really going to do it." Blood splattered in the mourning hall?"
Wu Xian asked back: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing wrong, but I wonder if Lord Wu recognizes this?" Messenger Liao calmly took out a black token from his sleeve, with a strange yellow mark in the center. The moment this object appeared, Wu Xian's momentum suddenly stopped.
"It seems that Lord Wu recognizes it." Messenger Liao smiled and put the things away. Although he didn't like the meeting of gods, he had to say that it was really satisfying to feel the power of a fox and a tiger. "It's good if you recognize it. If you don't recognize it, Liao is really It’s a waste of time to die here.”
Wu Xian squinted his eyes slightly.
He also wondered why the messengers who came to attend the funeral were so powerful. They sent even a few beautiful people. It turned out that they were confident.
It doesn’t matter if you kill a little girl.
But after death, there will be great troubles.
The trouble is naturally not only because of Shen Youli. In comparison, the mysterious and complex network of the Gods, which is criss-crossing, makes him even more afraid. The only thing that reassures him is whether the gods will form their own forces. It prefers to be a middleman.
However, if you kill an important member of the Gods Association, then let’s talk about it.
Wu Xian didn’t want to take risks.
He said: "I'd like to trouble Liao Envoy to bring back a message."
Liao Jia listened attentively: "Master Wu, please speak."
"If she wants to fight, then fight!" Wu Xian's eyes were shining brightly, and his aura was so high that people dared not look directly at him, "Wait for her alone!"
What he said was so heroic.
Liao Jia wanted to applaud Wu Xian in her heart.
Learn from it, this is the textbook style of beating it up!
"Liao will convey the words of Lord Wu to His Majesty unchanged." The smile on his face became even brighter, and the original rich appearance was replaced by a treacherous air that could not be concealed, as if he would take out a dagger to plot against people in the next breath, "Also Please don’t regret it, Lord Wu.”
The courtiers of the Gao Kingdom felt their fists itching when they saw Lio Jia's smile.
Shen Youli sent such a person here, is he sincerely disgusting?
Stop at the mourning hall, no matter how you look at it, you are uneasy and kind-hearted.
The taunt effect is full.
When Liao and Jia resigned, some courtiers could not sit still.
"My lord, why don't you kill two of them? One Liao Shaomei and the other Gu Wangchao, they are both humerus of Kang State. If their heads can be taken off and hung in protest, the morale of Kang State will be reduced!" They are all torn apart, why should they be worried? One more kill counts as one!
There were also people in the court who recognized the token pattern.
Looking at it, no one said a word.
Wu Xian asked back: "Are you sure they can be killed?"
Knowing that this is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, two well-known literati who have been famous for a long time will not leave a backup plan? If he really takes action against the two of them, the news will spread throughout the entire Kang State immediately, which will be detrimental to Wu Xian and Gao State. The most important thing is that Wu Xian doesn't want to cause trouble with the Gods Association.
Ordinary members of the commune would kill if they wanted to. It’s not like he had never killed someone before.
But if the high-level officials are disturbed, will the gods let it go?
Wu Xian: “There is no need to say more about this matter.”
How deep is the relationship between Shen Youli and the Society of Gods?
She has had everything going smoothly these years, could it be because of the instructions of the gods? Or are the gods finally unwilling to be a middleman and want to cultivate the puppet Shen Tang and extend their hands into the secular world?
Liao and Jia left the court of the King of Gao in a big way.
Liao Jia: “Have you found anything?”
Qishan wanted to catch the members of the Southwest Branch who were hiding in Gao Kingdom, so that they could know themselves and their enemies, so Liao Jia made this trip. Dogs are really dogs. The dignified president of the northwest branch will resort to his colleagues when he needs to order people, but the king of the country is also used to it. Hmph, he is a dog official!
Gu Chi nodded and said, "Yes, it's an unexpected surprise."
Except for a few people who are immune to his scribe's ways, others have always tried and tested, and this time is no exception, with some progress.

Today I wanted to start coding and updating early, but all the author groups and readers were frantically forwarding that screenshot. I just ate green JJ’s melons everywhere today. After eating for a long time, I still didn’t understand. I always feel like there are barriers between the circle I belong to and others.
They still have a special gossip group.
Why do other people always eat melon so promptly?
