"A new book?" The people present asked in unison. The current situation was really beyond their understanding.
"That's right!" I opened the scroll." Since this is a medium for me to appear in the public's eyes with a new identity, I can't decide what to write. It just so happens that all of you are here today. Please help me think of the theme of this book!”
The discussions below the stage were even more intense than before. This time, it was something to talk about. Their enthusiasm finally had a place to flare up.
"Since this painting book is so important, there must be many topics that are not suitable, right? You wrote more about the countryside, the fights in the mansion, and so on.”
The person who replied to me was the veiled woman who sat with Feng Tianjiao. Her voice was low and deep, and it sounded very familiar to me, but I couldn't remember how.
After her nagging, the discussion started again.
She smiled slightly, picked up the teacup, and opened her red lips." Why don't you write about heroes and emperors?"”
The moment he said this, the entire hall was in an uproar.
When I heard her say this, I nodded slightly and didn't say anything else for the time being.
Feng Tianjiao sneered." If you really want to write a big biography, of course, you have to write about the situation of an emperor like you retiring halfway. Of course, there is no need to have any detailed records!”
"Why do you have to write about emperors?" I have a question. If you want to know my intentions, of course I did it on purpose.
The wealthy merchants in the East District looked like they could not sit still anymore. However, they were surrounded by officials, so they did not dare to act rashly. They only muttered," In history, those who are as rich as a country can be considered heroes!”
"What are you 'profiteers' doing?”The Ouyang family mocked them," The merits of the officials are known to the world. They should be recorded in history."”
"Then, according to what you said, the people guarding the border should also contribute?”Someone from the west raised his wine cup and took a sip.
"So what if I have a few merits?" The veiled woman turned around and looked to the west affectionately." If you only leave a supporting role in the book, or just a reputation of 'sacrificing for the country', then it's better to forget about it.”
Sacrifice for the country? I raised my eyebrows. Her words really hit the nail on the head. " Sacrifice " is too particular. Is this " sacrifice " the kind of heroic true sacrifice that " only dies for the country on the battlefield, why do you need to wrap your body in a horse's leather ", or is it to be involved in the struggle for power and ambition and die a hypocritical death because you can't escape? I think those who are present here have been in the power field for many years, so they should know more than me.
"Could it be that there are still people who kill meritorious officials?”The South Side was silent. Soon after, the question came out.
"The world is chaotic. If someone wants to occupy money and territory to satisfy his own ambitions, he will naturally do such a thing.”
With this sentence on stage, I believe that the people below have probably recalled the rumors I had spread a few days ago. It was said that Feng Xiaoquan was killed by the Northern Feng royal family in order to attack the south as soon as possible. If that was the case, the other fifteen people sitting around the round table, other than me, were most likely related to this matter.
If Bei Feng could even kill his own family members as dissidents in order to satisfy his own ambitions, then in the future, how many last meals would these outsiders eat here today?
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Feng Tianjiao slowly stood up from his chair and straightened his back. His eyes were sharp.
"Only with an emperor can there be generals and generals. Without an emperor, where would there be meritorious officials? Didn't the so-called meritorious officials have to be supported by the Great King's clan in order to live on endlessly?”
I seemed to be wearing a mask of pain on the surface, but in fact, I was already overjoyed. She had indeed fallen into my trap.
When she saw that no one was refuting, she continued," I'm sure everyone has heard of the saying 'mountains and rivers are easily changed'. However, under the rule of the Feng family, the country in our hands will never be easily given away. If anyone here wants to make a mark in the history books, they must follow behind our family!”Perhaps it was because I was there, but her expression was even more arrogant, looking like a wild dog king protecting its food.
She was right. In the past few decades of war, the Feng family had been the first in terms of military achievements. It was not only because they were now the supreme ruler of the Northern Dynasty, but also because the other relatives of the Feng family had shed a lot of blood in order to defeat the Zhou family and help them dominate. Bei Feng would definitely hold the right to govern the land in his own hands and would not give any benefits to others.
However, the Feng surname wasn't the orthodox one, and it would be too late to start counting from the few years since Feng Tianjiao ascended the throne. If it wasn't for the other factions 'support and inaction, as well as the many chaotic matters of the previous dynasty, they wouldn't have shaken the Zhou family's foundation to this extent.
They can rely on various forces to rise up, and I can naturally use these various forces to try to suppress them. In any case, the current situation in the south won't be any worse.
I wasn't really putting all my eggs in one basket. It was just that the other part of the national treasury's money had already been transferred to the basement of Dayuan Academy over the past few months. The money that was now on the surface was just bait to induce today's good show.
If there was a vacancy in the throne of the Southern Dynasty, then some of these people would be jealous. Moreover, the public opinion in the past few months made them feel that if they worked for the headstrong Northern Feng, they would have a good ending in the end.
Feng Tianjiao sat down after saying that. If she was willing to turn around and observe, she would find that there were basically people in the four districts with ashen faces and not knowing what to say.
I'm very satisfied. The scenes that had been going on for the past few months were basically finished. I held Zhang Xiaomang's hand and subconsciously wanted to look back at him, but I found that he was looking at me very quietly, as if the other troubles in the world had nothing to do with him.
The banquet was about to end. I saw Tong E walking over with a pouting Song E at the corner of the entrance. Tong E also brought the people from Blessed Hall who planned the stage. For today's show, I've been carefully hiding Song 'e and Tong' e for the past few months, afraid that something would go wrong. The two of them accepted my instructions and managed to successfully complete today's stage. At this moment, they are planning to report back to me.
Watching the group of people being led by the two women getting closer and closer, I suddenly recalled the saber lights and sword shadows that day at the edge of Youzhou City, which made me shiver.
Right now, the leader of this group of people was looking at the surroundings of the round table with the same gaze as the leader of the men in black looked at me that day.
I could tell that this group of people was 99% the men in black who came to assassinate me that night.
Not only that, this group of men in black didn't wear masks, which constantly coincided with the strange sense of familiarity that I felt at the edge of Youzhou City. I gradually remembered the day of the sword dance. On the eastern stands, I greeted Noble Consort Zhang, laughed and laughed with him, and even made him smile.
The sweat on my forehead suddenly condensed, and my eyes slowly looked at Zhang Xiaomang, who was still standing obediently beside me. He looked at me quietly, and there was only my reflection in his eyes.
In his eyes, there was only what he wanted, and perhaps that was not me.
