Chapter 657
The king of Nanzhao Kingdom, Wu Wangzhi, was very talented. Since Lin Qing'er was accused of being a monster ten years ago and the Moon Worshiping Sect came to power, the power of the Witch King gradually fell into the hands of Shi Jieren.
Without Shi Jieren taking action personally, the Moon Worshiping Cult has already divided the power of the Witch King. The Witch King is almost a bare commander. Except for a handful of old ministers such as Shi Gonghu, no one will obey his orders.
After Shi Gonghu left Nanzhao Kingdom, the Witch King's government orders could not even leave the palace.
It is precisely because of this that Shi Gonghu had to enter the Central Plains as a delegation, so as not to take away the throne of the Witch King before he found Zhao Ling'er.
Shi Gonghu was originally a military general, and Lin Qing'er's credit for having these twists and turns in his heart.
Lin Qing'er has seen the prosperity of the Central Plains and knows the importance of culture. During her eight years as a queen, she vigorously promoted exchanges between Miaojiang in the Central Plains and absorbed advanced culture in the Central Plains.
Even now, this policy is being implemented, and trade exchanges in border areas are increasing every year.
The spiritual medicines and jade in Miaojiang are worth a thousand gold in the Central Plains, and the silk porcelain in the Central Plains are worth a thousand gold in Miaojiang. Businessmen who can do business can earn enough food for a village and town for three years in one business trip.
The popularity of the moon worship church in the past ten years is related to the better life brought by these decrees.
To be honest, if it weren't for the darkness in Shi Jieren's heart, Shi Gonghu would have supported Shi Jieren to usurp power and seize the throne.
The people in Miaojiang are weak and do not pay much attention to it. Whoever can make people have enough food and clothing will be the king.
Originally, Shi Gonghu only planned to make friends with the Minister of Etiquette and use Mr. Liu's connections to find Zhao Ling'er. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ling'er and Liu Jinyuan were brothers and sisters. They were overjoyed and prepared a generous gift to attend the wedding, hoping to talk to Zhao Ling'er.
Zhao Ling'er has not been to Miaojiang for so long. He has a normal IQ and understands that Zhao Ling'er has no good impression of Miaojiang, but for the sake of Nanzhao, it's better not to have such shame.
The wedding was over lively, and Zhao Ling'er and others went back to their room to rest. How could Shi Gonghu missed such an opportunity? He ignored the etiquette and law and pushed the door in and bowed and bowed: "The old minister has seen the princess."
The elders of Shi Gonghu, the three dynasties, were the biggest supporters of the Nanzhao royal family. They did not need to kneel down when they saw the Witch King, let alone Zhao Ling'er. He bowed and gave him enough face.
But Zhao Ling'er was so handsome that she didn't want to take any more face. She sneered: "Princess? What kind of princess am I? Is the princess born to be a monster?"
"The incident back then was entirely because of the evil thief's deceiving. His Majesty the Witch King often regretted it. It was just that the power of worshiping the Moon Church was overwhelming Nanzhao, so he did not serve as the queen. Anyway, the princess has learned her unique skills and can return to Miaojiang, defeat the Moon Church, and return the bright world of Nanzhao."
Zhao Linger said: "Elder Shi, what is the most important thing for a king of a kingdom?"
"Of course, it is to let the people eat and wear warm clothes, not be threatened by external enemies, and live with dignity."
"Are the people in Miaojiang now full?"
"Eat enough!" Shi Gonghu said with a pale face.
"Dress warmly?"
“Dress warmly!”
"Then what will I do to destroy their beautiful lives? By then, we will no longer face the Moon Worshiping Sect, but the people in Miaojiang. Can you kill one person, ten people, and hundreds of people? Can you kill all the people?"
A series of rhetorical questions made Shi Gonghu not know what to do.
Zhao Ling'er said again: "Every drink and every peck will have its own number of days. This is my father's choice, no wonder others."
"He allowed outsiders to frame my mother as a demon, but in the end he could survive for ten years with my mother's sacrifice. Now he wants me to help him restore power? How can such a good thing happen in the world!"
Shi Gonghu said: "Don't the princess want to avenge the queen? After eliminating the culprit, the old minister is willing to support the princess as the queen of Nanzhao!"
"Ling'er is not a person who is greedy for power and position. Elder Shi, you are a veteran of the three dynasties of Nanzhao Kingdom and have outstanding achievements. Ling'er respects you, but things are not as simple as you think. Now we go to Miaojiang, without time, without the advantage of the place, and without the harmony of people, we will definitely lose."
Shi Gonghu said: "Three days ago, a big battle occurred in the Central Plains. The old minister could feel that one of them was the leader of the Moon, and he was defeated and ran away. It is said that the other side was Bai Xiangu. Bai Xiangu is the princess's teacher's wife. The princess can ask Bai Xiangu to take action to subdue the demons."
Zhao Ling'er said: "Ling'er also felt that in that battle, his master and his wife took action to repel the Moon Worshiping Master, but so what? As long as you cannot break the faith of the Moon Worshiping Master, the Moon Worshiping Master will never be eliminated. Now the time is not right, and Master will not agree to Ling'er go to Miaojiang."
"When can I take action?"
"When the Moon Worshiping Sect is the strongest!"
“The strongest?”
"Everything will turn back when extremes are the strongest, the weakest. Master said that the leader of the Moon Worshiping Sect is a gathering of negative emotions. Only when he concentrates all his strength can he be completely eliminated, otherwise he can only be severely damaged and watch him make a comeback again and again."
Hearing Zhao Ling'er's words, Shi Gonghu was not only not disappointed, but was extremely happy.
Because Zhao Linger's speech was thorough and analyzed, she was very good at analyzing it, which was countless times stronger than the ignorant young man who knew the danger and the silly Bai Tian, who was anxious about IQ.
In a trance, Shi Gonghu felt that the person in front of him was not Zhao Ling'er, but the wise queen.
Thinking of the queen, Shi Gonghu couldn't help but think of a saying in the Central Plains - a flower was inserted into cow dung. If the Witch King had not been born, how could he be worthy of Lin Qing'er?
"What are the princess' plans in the near future? Is there any place to need the help of the old minister?"
Zhao Ling'er said: "Ling'er is preparing to get married recently. Elder Shi can participate in the wedding as Ling'er's elder."
Speaking of this, Zhao Linger showed a hint of blush on her face. Women of this era always feel a little shy when it comes to getting married.
Shi Gonghu said in surprise: "Who do you have?"
"Brother Xiaoyao, he is going to propose marriage to his master."
Shi Gonghu regarded Zhao Ling'er as the king of Nanzhao, and did not know Li Xiaoyao. He wanted to delay for a while and said, "Princess, marriage is a big deal, and the matchmaker's words are a bit unqualified."
Zhao Ling'er said: "In the Central Plains culture, one day is a teacher and a father for life. My master and his wife raised me for ten years, which is no different from my parents. Their words are the orders of their parents, and the matchmaker is even simpler, just Lord Liu.
In Miaojiang culture, you have to fight for it when you encounter it. Miao women are passionate, which is not a scholar’s false statement.
No matter what aspect, it is in line with etiquette and law. Elder Shi, don’t worry, Brother Xiaoyao is a very good man, he is also a disciple of his master. You should always trust my master, right?"
Shi Gonghu really wants to say that I don’t trust your master, but Zhao Linger has top talents and abilities. If she can cultivate such disciples, her master is naturally a capable person.
