Chapter 1169 Chapter 1169: Prisoner’s Dilemma (Part 2) [Please vote]
“Prisoner’s Dilemma?”
Gu Chi couldn't hide the worry on his face.
“Do Kang Jishou and the others know that they are ‘prisoners’?”
Shen Tang said: "I don't know if they know."
"If they don't know, they will definitely die." Gu Chi originally thought that the two enemies of Bei Mo and Gao Guo were troublesome enough, but he didn't expect that the one who really bothered him was his own people, "My lord!"
Shen Tang finished approving a memorial and raised his eyes to reassure Gu Chi.
“We can only wait for news from them now. Whether it’s good or bad, it’s their own choice, and we can’t interfere.”
Gu Chi said something shocking: "Then destroy them both."
It is not feasible to destroy an exit alone.
What about abolishing two of them and forcibly suspending the consummation ceremony?
It may not be impossible!
Shen Tang was almost confused by this sentence, and said with a smile: "You still don't understand Weiheng very well. If you give up the results of your hard-earned cultivation just to survive, it will be more uncomfortable for her than killing her. If you are in the second She will not survive if she chooses between them.”
Just because Shen Tang understood everything, she was helpless.
Gu Chi opened his mouth and wanted to say something else.
Thousands of words, I don’t know where to start.
Seeing his expression, Shen Tang said a few words of comfort: "Actually, there is no need to be so pessimistic. On the bright side, people trapped in the 'Prisoner's Dilemma' have almost no way out, because human nature will make them do the 'smart' thing that best suits their own interests." Choice, but you have forgotten that the prerequisite for the failure of the 'prisoners' in the 'Prisoner's Dilemma' is that they do not trust each other enough, so they chose win-win or lose-lose. But Ji Shou and Wei Heng are different..."
They have sufficient trust base.
It may not be impossible to defeat human nature.
This is one of the reasons why Shen Tang can sit still.
"It's a blessing in disguise to take advantage of this opportunity to let the two of them get out of their relationship completely." Shen Tang spent a few words reviewing several memorials, and the more she reviewed, the more irritated she became. Missing Kang Shi and the two of them was enough to make her irritated and distracted. , and actually asked her to approve these garbage memorials that smelled worse than foot bindings and lasted longer. This was simply a slow murder of her. "All of these will put you on the yellow list!"
Shen Tang has a small notebook here.
The evaluation of each minister is recorded in detail. Anyone who is not pleasing to the eye will be put on the yellow list, and the officials will focus on keeping track of them during the assessment.
“Did they sin against the Lord? Or did they do things poorly?”
The Lord's heart is full of curses.
Gu Chi didn’t know what happened to these people.
Shen Tang said: "They talk too much and they offend me. Don't you know how many memorials I have to approve all day long? I have the energy to watch them flattering me word for word! Even if an old cow in the county gave birth to twins, they could write on it. They also said This is my credit! What credit can I have? Am I a bull who can help cows get pregnant? Let them talk about performance management. Look at what they wrote. ! Who gives them such courage? The water they squeeze out can fill up the Miao River! If they do this again, I will bring them here one by one and scold them!"
Listening to Shen Tang's long string of verbal output, Gu Chi breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that the Lord was also anxious inside, and was far from as calm as he appeared on the surface. Otherwise, no matter how unfair the memorial was, she would be able to read it patiently and then scold it in the memorial.
Gu Chi was worried that he would be in trouble if he continued to stay, so he was trying to find a reason to slip away, but something unexpected happened, and another pile of memorials was brought in. Shen Tang casually took the top one. His face turned cold after just two glances, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.
Looking at this posture, Gu Chi knew that he couldn't leave.
As expected, Shen Tang threw the memorial to him.
“Look at the tide, take a look.”
Gu Chi opened the door and took a look nervously, fearing that the content of the memorial might have something to do with him or the Yushitai - His Majesty was in a very angry mood, and he wasn't the first to be repaired by her? After reading it carefully, my heart gradually fell back into my stomach, and then I felt a surge of gloating. He lowered the curve of his lips and returned the memorial to Shen Tang: "My lord, this is a good thing!"
It is indeed a good thing!
All the big families in Gao Kingdom were taken away by Mi Kui and her son. The remaining kittens were only three or two insignificant. It would not be difficult for the royal court to take away their lands. If they dare not cooperate, it will only cause them some accidents. In addition, there are still large-scale wealthy gentry in the local area. These people are also among the top landowners in the local area, and the amount of land they own is staggering.
They did not allow the royal court to measure and inventory the land.
Even censuses were obstructed.
Some people made small moves behind the scenes and even spread rumors that were unfavorable to Shen Tang among the tenant farmers. The other group acted smarter. They did not openly oppose Shen Tang. Instead, they actively cooperated with the government. However, they did some treacherous things in private, including but not limited to spreading radical rumors and violent actions during land surveying, which destroyed the land that belonged to them. Other people's land was assigned to the name of "Wang Ting". The common people who suffered a loss naturally refused. In anger, they clashed with the subordinate officials and were beaten to death by the people brought by the subordinate officials...
There were also common people who beat subordinate officials to death.
All in all, there is strong opposition from the public.
Shen Tang wanted to sneer when he looked at the memorial.
She actually experienced the disgusting methods used by the Qi family to deal with Mei Jinghe and others. Do you really think she is made of mud and won't get angry? Or are they confident that their methods are secretive and they won't be caught? Shen Tang asked Gu Chi: "How to do it?"
Gu Chi raised his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
In this case, the method of killing the chicken to scare the monkey is very suitable.
Shen Tang closed his eyes and thought for a while.
He raised his hand and made a downward movement: "Don't kill him yet."
Of course Shen Tang is not suddenly benevolent and wants to accumulate negative virtue.
She added: "Please tell Wu Zhaode about this beforehand and say hello. It turns out that all the aristocratic families in Gao Kingdom were connived by him. Before we take action, we have to give them one last chance. If their old owners can't persuade them, move…"
Then, these people deserve to die.
When you are reincarnated in the next life, remember to keep your eyes wide open and avoid her.
Wu Xian, who suffered a disaster from heaven: “…”
He has been immersed in the grief of losing Mi Kui for a while. He just wants to be alone and calm down without anyone disturbing him. I was confused when I saw this memorial. When I opened it and took a look, I almost jumped up on the spot. He didn't know that Shen Tang was in a bad mood recently, but he knew that Shen killed people as quickly as he chopped vegetables: "Are these people crazy? Is this trick useful against Shen Youli?"
Wu Xian looked at the last annotation of the memorial.
The corner of his mouth twitched: "...it is indeed useful."
Let Shen Tang kill a few people instead of hundreds or thousands of people.
Wu Xian had recently closed the door to thank guests, and there was no one around to consult with him. He was quite worried when he saw this memorial - he was no longer the leader of the Kingdom of Gao, but just an ordinary middle-aged man who was indulging in the pain of losing his wife. How could there be such a thing? Could you please find him?
After staring at it for a long time, Wu Xian wrote many letters.
Whether it can be persuaded or not, his words have been brought to him anyway.
If a person is still dead, it will be considered that his kindness and righteousness have been exhausted.
The letter is written and sent.
Within two days, the first reply letter was delivered to Wu Xian.
He didn't even look at it himself. He straightened his beard, which had not been shaved for ten and a half months, and then went to see Shen Tang after it was clean. It was unfortunate that he came because Xun Hanzhang, the Minister of Household Affairs, was discussing in the tent.
Wu Xian wondered whether he should come back another day.
Wu Xian: "…" Don't you need to avoid suspicion for this?
Wu Xian felt dizzy just after listening to it for a while.
In the years when I was the head of the country, it didn’t seem so complicated. Then I thought about it. It was normal. At that time, part of the rich land in Gao Kingdom was in the hands of aristocratic families, part of it was in the hands of the Gao royal family, and the rest was in the hands of the common people. The amount of grain harvested every year is pretty much the same, and the accounts are clear and clear.
There is no need to spend money like Shen Tang.
Wu Xian was sitting in the corner, distracted, while Xun Zhen was very anxious.
The memorial that made Shen Tang furious was submitted by the Ministry of Revenue. The fields could not be cleared within the year, and they were all handed over to Qin Li of the Taishi Bureau. I dare not think about what will happen next spring plowing. The Taishi Bureau is the most important department in Kang State, bar none!
With the help of scribes and the power of the national seal, Qin Li supervised all cultivated land in the country and used the post to issue unified instructions for spring plowing in each region every year to ensure that the crop growth progress was roughly uniform. As for him, it rains water when it is needed, and when it is not needed - for example, when crops in various regions mature and need to be harvested, it ensures that there is ample sunshine during the harvest period and that the crops will not become moldy and reduce yields.
In addition, droughts and floods can also be prevented.
Even in disasters such as the earth dragon turning over, rescuers can be dispatched in time.
The major premise for all this is that the amount, location, and quality of cultivated land within the territory must be delivered to the Taishi Bureau, otherwise the Taishi Bureau will not be able to operate normally. The Taishi Bureau urged the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Household Affairs urged the government offices of various prefectures, counties, and counties, but the government offices made small moves.
Xun Zhen wanted to greet the eighteen generations of their ancestors.
He is not afraid of Qishan, Chu Yao or Gu Chi. If he offends them, he will be offended. How can he be afraid of them? But Qin Li is different. It's not that Qin Li is so difficult to deal with, but that his attributes are too scarce, and the Lord's trust in Qin Li is no less than that of Chu Yao and several elders. When necessary, Qi Yuanliang would give in to Qin Li.
The long and boring deliberations are finally over.
When Xun Zhen left with a sullen expression, Wu Xian was still in a daze.
“Brother Zhaode, you’ve come to your senses.”
Wu Xian was startled and suddenly came to his senses.
The look in his eyes at Shen Tang was infinitely complicated.
He just heard that Qin Li, as the Minister of Rites, went to work part-time in the Taishi Bureau. At first, he thought that Qin Li was not favored, because compared with other departments, the Rites and Taishi Bureau were considered idle yamen. Wu Xian was still feeling a little emotional, but the more he listened, the more something was wrong. What spring plowing? What is the full year precipitation forecast? Why do we need to calculate the discharge of each river in the original plateau country?
Taishi Bureau…
Isn’t it Si Tianjian?
When can we give instructions to the Ministry of Household Affairs?
Xun Hanzhang's words were greatly undermined by Qin's rituals.
Wu Xian suspected that the Qin Li he knew and the Qin Li he had just heard were two different people, with the same name and surname, and nothing else matched them!
Either two people or—
Qin Li had something to hide under his account back then.
This knowledge made Wu Xian feel mixed inside, as if something was stuck in his chest. He suppressed his emotions and handed the reply letter to Shen Tang, with the sealing paint still on it. Shen Tang was not polite to him either, and after reading it, she became even more rude.
“Brother Zhaode, I gave you face, but it’s not my fault that they were shameless.” Shen Tang returned the letter to Wu Xian. As long as Wu Xian is not stupid, he knows what to do.
Wu Xian opened one eye and ten lines.
There is only one thought left in my mind -
It's better for these things to die as soon as possible, and don't harm them. Fortunately, Wu Xian was wary and sent the reply as soon as he received it without opening it himself. If he opened it, yellow mud would really fall into his crotch, and it would be **** if not shit. It's not enough for these harmful people to seek their own death, they actually try to drag themselves into trouble.
Wu Xian's heart moved, and he burst into tears in the next breath.
Sincerely miss his late wife Mi Kui.
He and Mi Kui had only two sons and two daughters in total. Among them, the eldest son and his wife died in the royal tomb. The only remaining son and two daughters were also lost in the chaos in the royal capital and have never been seen. I just found out today that all three of them were hidden by the powerful families in the original Gao Kingdom. As long as Kang State has its advantages and disadvantages, these people can use them as puppets to cause chaos in the name of restoring Gao Kingdom...
These villains have sinister intentions.
Wu Xian is only worried about the safety of his children now.
Shen Tang was dumbfounded when he saw his performance.
It seemed that Wu Zhaode had this unique skill.
She calmed down and made a promise: "Brother Zhaode, don't worry, my concubine and the son will definitely turn the danger into good. These little people still need them, and they will not let them have any disadvantages."
Wu Xian shed tears and nodded in agreement.
“Please, Mr. Shen, can save the child!”
“It’s natural!”
Shen Tang was satisfied with Wu Xian's knowledge and interest, because he took the initiative to give Shen Tang a perfect excuse to take action without worrying about the consequences. Wu Xian's three children have not been found so far. The father said that the children were hidden by the old forces of the former Gao Kingdom and tried to use them as puppets to cause trouble. That is true! When he begged Shen Tang, could Shen Tang refuse to agree because of their previous friendship?
No matter the outcome of this matter, Wu Xian will bear the consequences.
啧—
I didn’t expect that Wu Xian also had the potential to explain the language.
Shen Tang wrote down the order: "Just do it!"
Hundreds of lives may have been lost behind the understatement of the order. After she finished handling her daily routine and the memorials on the table gradually disappeared, she could stand up and rub her numb butt. Alas, she unilaterally declared that every king needs an iron butt.
He just twisted his waist twice, and his steps outside the tent were quick.
Gu Chi's breath was approaching quickly: "Your Majesty!"
Shen Tang’s hip twisting motion stopped midway: “Is there something else?”
She was just about to go to sync up with Zi Xuwuyou’s daily life. The two of them were much more relaxed than she was now, at least there weren’t a bunch of irritating memorials. Gu Chi's expression made her heart sink.
“Did something happen to Ji Shou and Wei Heng?”
Gu Chi said: "This is the last part of the consummation ceremony."
The items of the consummation ceremony are different, and the time of the entire ceremony is also different. For some people, the results will be known within a few hours, such as Mei Jinghe's time, and for some people, the results will be known within a few days, months or even half a year. Kang Shi and Yu Zi only had two ten days together, that is, twenty days.
They must make the final choice.
Submitting a blank paper after the due date will also be considered a failure.
Shen Tang’s heart trembled: “Isn’t there still five days left?”
Gu Chi said: "Wei Heng hasn't woken up in two days."
The last time was probably the last time I woke up.
Even a literary scholar cannot survive without eating or drinking for seven days. When he was healthy, he noticed that something was wrong, and the energy in his meridians flowed inexplicably and violently. If it reached the heart, there would be no way to save him. As a last resort, Kang Shi had no choice but to take action and end the consummation ceremony early.
He made a choice.
Hurry over now and you should be able to see the last one.

I'm annoyed. I received the motherboard and CPU box today. It turns out that the motherboard's legs are crooked and there's a little dirt on it. The store actually refused to refund or exchange it for a new one. They just said they would send it over for repair. So angry (╬◣д◢)
