Chapter 683 The Treasure in the Sect

Chapter 683 The Treasure in the Sect

Although this series of price tags sounds really tempting, Li Tai also understands that unless his head is broken, he cannot agree to cooperate with Hou Jing under any circumstances.

At this time, he couldn't help but think of what Wei Ding said before, could this be the so-called hidden disaster in luck? I won’t say whether it’s luck or not, but it’s obvious that it’s calamity.

So for the sugar-coated cannonball sent by Hou Jing, he accepted the sugar-coated cannonball. As for the cannonball, he still had to return it.

So he sternly rejected Hou Jing's solicitation, and after Zhao Sixian's repeated pleas, he ordered him to be led down to the hall, and sent back according to the previous route.

As for the personnel and property that Hou Jing had sent, of course Li Tai would stay without any courtesy. But this is not because he is greedy. He knows very well what should be collected and what should not be collected.

The powerful men in Handong, Shannan and other places gave him gifts worth hundreds of thousands of pieces of silk, and he could accept them without any psychological burden. But the gift from Hou Jing was really poisonous.

Even if Li Tai stayed, he would not use it for his own use. He had the money, silk and belongings packed and sent to Guanzhong. At the same time, he also wrote a letter explaining the whole story in detail, including Hou. Jing wanted to make him King of Qin.

If the Overlord Government has given him great autonomy to take charge of military and political affairs in the southeast, then not engaging in private liaison transactions with such foreign forces should be one of the principles he needs to abide by. Including interactions with the clan kings like Nanliang, Li Tai also had to prepare detailed information afterwards to explain the process, purpose, results, etc. of the interactions.

Of course, reporting this matter also allows Yuwentai to see the difference between himself and Hou Jing. Even if it's just a bad check, Hou Jing is much more generous than a stinky black otter like him.

Li Tai doesn't expect Yu Wentai to give him any promotion in fame and power right away. Anyway, remember this, I have rejected so many temptations for you and our team!

You guys from the Zhu Kingdom have five or six people, and no one outside the country has offered you such a generous bargaining chip to tempt you, right? From now on, whenever you see me, be more upright and stop putting on airs for me! In the future, when the old guys explode the gold coins, how much I will be able to share is also an important reference indicator!

As for the Southern Dynasty women sent by Zhao Sixian, before Li Tai had time to explain how to arrange them, he was informed that the wife of the inner palace had sent servants to introduce these Southern Dynasty women into the inner palace.

After learning about this, Li Tai stood up and walked to the inner palace. When he entered the inner hall, he heard many sad sobs coming from the hall. The women of the Southern Dynasties lowered their heads with sad and uneasy expressions. Stand in the hall.

In the banquet in the inner hall, Lady Miaoyin stood there with one hand on her hips and one hand clenched into a fist. Her face was tense and her expression was serious. She was stamping her feet and said angrily: "It's so hateful! I should kill them all..."

At this moment, Li Tai walked into the hall. When Miaoyin saw her husband, she looked a little nervous and embarrassed. She quickly lowered her hands and stepped forward to greet her: "Has your husband's affairs in the front hall been dealt with?"

Li Tai smiled and nodded, then raised his hand and pointed at the Southern Dynasty women who hurriedly bowed down, looking at his wife curiously.

Miaoyin felt a little uncomfortable with this look. She twisted her fingers together in front of her and lowered her head and whispered: "I have often heard that women from the south are well-educated and have different styles from those from the north. So I summoned her to the inner hall to have a look. …”

Li Tai smiled again after hearing this, and immediately asked: "Can you tell the difference between us?"

Hearing this, Miaoyin sighed again, looked up at these frightened and worshiping Southern Dynasty women, with a lot of sympathy on her face, and said: "I just listened to their stories about their life experiences, and why they came to Jingzhou. It made people feel sad and resentful. It turned out that their life experiences were all very miserable. The rebel army in the south of the Yangtze River killed all their parents and relatives, and also forced them to be given to soldiers who had a grudge to break up their families. Many women were killed by the rebel army... …”

This young lady is also very emotional. When she talks about the tragic life experiences of these women from the Southern Dynasties, her eyes become red.

She was cared for by her father at home, and cared for by her husband when she got married. She rarely heard such tragic stories in the world, and her mood was greatly shocked. After talking about this, she looked up at Li Tai with some anxiety and asked: "Husband, those The inhumane rebel army will not rush to our Jingzhou to cause chaos, right?"

Li Tai raised his hand to hold the woman's trembling shoulders, and sneered as he walked towards the seat: "These rebels only dare to cause trouble in weak and unprepared places. If they dare to enter my territory, they will be seeking death!" "

When Miaoyin heard this, her face immediately filled with pride. She was still a little bit worried about the miserable life experiences of these women from the Southern Dynasties, and she sighed: "Now that they have come to our Jingzhou, they will never have to endure those things again." They are suffering. But they have no father, brothers or relatives to rely on. How does the husband plan to deal with them? "

"Not long after these Southern Dynasty women entered the palace, the lady summoned them to meet them. I think she has some ideas. According to your opinion, how should they be arranged?"

Li Tai lowered his eyes to look at the little lady's slightly tentative eyes and asked with a smile.

"I don't know, I'm very confused..."

After Miaoyin heard this, she shook her head in a depressed mood, and then sighed: "I summoned them into the inner palace because I was very angry and wanted to see how well-educated these southern women are? But after hearing their My life experience is miserable and I feel sad inside, so what else can I compare?

I know that they are maids given to the husband by outsiders. If the husband wants to stay, it is not that there is no room at home to accommodate them. My husband may have pity and preference for them, but he cannot mess with my housekeeping rules! Their life experience is pitiful, but it is not because of my persecution. They can be sympathized with and taken in, but if they rely on favor to become arrogant, they will also be punished! "

Li Tai saw this little lady's complex expression of aggrieved, stubborn, sympathetic and pitiful, mixed with various emotions. He caressed her smooth forehead lovingly and said with a smile: "No one left, no one left!"

When Miaoyin heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across her face, and then she whispered: "Is the husband not staying because of my jealousy? Will he say it with his mouth, but feel resentful in his heart? If because of this, the husband is no longer willing to keep me, If you are worried about me, you might as well leave them alone!"

Seeing the worried and troubled look of the lady, Li Tai waved his hand and ordered all the Southern Dynasty women to be led to other rooms to settle down and rest for the time being. He then held the lady in his arms and said, "These women are all invaded by the rebel army. They are people's goods and they are trying to bribe me. If I take them into my house, I will bring back the evil deeds done by Hou Jing's rebellious army on them and make them grudge against the southerners.

Just as the lady said, I did not cause their miserable life experience, and it is only human nature to feel pity, so there is no need to complain. Therefore, I have long decided to send these women to Jiangling. It would be best if they have relatives to go to. Even if they don't, Jiangling will take care of them, so they don't have to live alone and helpless in a foreign country. "

"My husband is truly a kind and pure gentleman!"

When Miaoyin heard this, she hugged Li Tai's arm and praised her repeatedly. The previous entanglement and anxiety disappeared, and she said with some embarrassment: "I asked people to bring them here, but I didn't think of anything more civilized. It’s just a nice thing to say. I’m just worried that they will stay at home and want to intimidate them to let them know that I’m not weak and easy to bully. But after hearing their stories, I can’t bear it anymore…”

Li Tai knew what the little lady was thinking, and when he heard her confessing her feelings to him, he laughed again: "My wife has a first-class education, so there is no need to compare her with anyone. Even though other ladies are beautiful and gentle, they have their own qualities." Belong. The beauty in front of me is the most precious thing in my family!"

After Miaoyin heard this, she suddenly became elated again. She pressed her face against Li Tai's chest and laughed for a long time. Then she raised her head and said, "Then I want to prepare some money and silk gifts for these women and let them go." Is it okay to have something close to me in Jiangling?”

"Of course, but it doesn't have to be too much. The world is in chaos, and Jiangling may not be a paradise. A lonely and weak woman carrying heavy goods will be easily robbed."

After Li Tai heard this, he smiled and said that his wife was innocent and wanted to help these women out of sympathy, but his thoughts were not pure.

Attacking Gangneung should not just be a purely military operation. Creating a good image for yourself to gain more recognition is also an aspect.

The troubled times in the Southern and Northern Dynasties lasted for so many years. In fact, during the period of the Three Kingdoms, various conflicts had accumulated to an extreme. The Northern Wei and Nanliang ushered in major outbreaks one after another. If the people living at the moment do not have the ability to foresee, no one would have imagined that the unification could be completed in just a few decades!

A chaotic world that lasts for such a long time ultimately requires not a simple military strongman, but a ruler who can coordinate and integrate all parties and work hard to eliminate barriers.

Therefore, the interaction between Li Tai and Jiang Ling was not limited to military intimidation. Some personnel exchanges were also carried out one after another. For example, in the mission sent by Jiangling this time, except for the chief envoy who was appointed by Xiao Yi, the king of eastern Hunan, the other servants were also mostly members of Jiangling's wealthy family.
