stand back, let me come

Chapter 1294: CP Party Dispute [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

He Xin puts himself in Mei Meng's situation.

You can empathize with each other instantly.

"...How foolish! If Xin was Mei Jinghe, he would definitely not stay behind to cover the retreat and let his master escape first." He Xin also had a certain understanding of Mei Meng, whose name he had heard of for a long time. Given his temperament, he would look down on people who would do such a thing. "There are many talented people in Jiangdong, and it is unknown if they can make a comeback. However, the Southwest Alliance is not united, how can they compare with the 'Jiangdong talents'? They are just villains with their own calculations, and it is impossible for them to make a comeback. Things are already decided, so we might as well take this opportunity to imitate the Overlord."

If you escape, you will only survive, so it is better to fight the final battle in the face of adversity, at least you can regain your reputation and win the evaluation of dying with honor. No matter how strong or talented you are, in the future, the history books will mention that "dying standing" is better than the character of 90% of warlords. Besides, how can subordinates fight to the death and the lord escape?
If He Xin's master had this kind of personality...

He could have a heart attack on the spot!

That's what a martyr is.

For the sake of morality, not only can he sacrifice himself, but also his master. The master refused to be sacrificed, and Mei Meng was disappointed.

Shen Tang said: "It is human nature to be afraid of death."

Intellectually, one can understand the choice made by the King of Qi.

He Xin lost control of his body, and he asked casually, "If the Lord is the ruler of Qi State, what would you choose?"

Shen Tang said: "It depends on the situation. If enduring humiliation for a while can make the sun and moon shine again, then it's okay to endure it. If all the cards in your hand have been played out, and enduring is just prolonging your life, then kill! Even if you die, you must bite off the enemy's flesh and blood!"

After saying this, she smiled bitterly.

"Oh my, too many ties really make people timid." This is what she is like now. She has a big family and a lot of things to worry about. If it was before the founding of the country, she would have only one choice, "I still won't comment on that person."

Perhaps in the eyes of King Qi, her act of reluctantly letting Mei Meng break up was actually "enduring humiliation for a while"?

"I thought the Lord would say that this day would never come."

He Shu was also aware of Shen Tang's past achievements.

"The laws of nature are unpredictable. I used to be young and hot-tempered, and I spoke without restraint." I didn't believe in the laws of nature before, because I thought they were bullshit. Now I believe in them a little, because this damn thing really exists!

He Shu: "What if the person who was left behind was Qishan Chu Yao?"

The slight drunkenness on Shen Tang's face was replaced by indifference and solemnity.

"There is no other choice, kill!"

He Shu, who usually had a seldom expression, burst out laughing.

Shen Tang scratched his head in annoyance, revealing a bit of youthful spirit: "Hey, just forgive me if you don't do it. People are not saints, how can they always be consistent in their words and deeds? Sometimes they will be double standards..."

If Qi Shan and others are not involved, they should be rational first, and fight to the end if they cannot be rational. Once the reverse scale is involved, the rationality of eighteen generations of ancestors will be thrown away and they will fight to the end. For a monarch, this is not qualified, but it is unexpectedly in line with human nature.

He Shu couldn't help but say: "If Qi Yuanliang and the others knew the master's intentions, I'm afraid the fox's tail would be untraceable."

This kind of treatment is really enviable.

Shen Tang looked away in embarrassment and awkwardness.

She was now very afraid that He Shu would ask her another question, "What would my lord do if I were the one who was left behind?" Then she would be in big trouble.

Telling the truth is not okay, and neither is lying.

He Shu had no interest in being jealous, nor did he intend to embarrass Shen Tang. A moderate degree of tension and relaxation is the way for the monarch and his subjects to get along. Pressuring step by step would only backfire. He Shu did not care about the monarch's favor, he cared more about whether his master was a fellow traveler.

Shen Tang said: "They know."

How could I not know?
He Shu's expression suddenly became strange. No one knew what he was thinking. He kicked He Xin out again. Shen Tang noticed the subtle change in the aura between the two people and knew that they had changed. "Why did you go back if you didn't want to do it? What did you say to provoke him?"

He Xin rubbed the back of his neck.

The frequent switching of control between the two brothers was also a burden. He Xindu planned to use the Wen Qi incarnation as a carrier, so as to avoid being pinched by the neck and thrown around by the eldest brother at every turn: "It's okay, brother just made a mistake, go back and reflect on it."

Shen Tang: "???"

What is He Shu thinking?

It's nothing, just some folk gossip.

"It's because the position of the head of the inner court has been vacant for a long time, and even my brother..." He Xin saw the master retreating before he finished speaking. He was speechless at first, and then hurriedly explained, "No, no, my master, please don't misunderstand. My brother treats my wife the same way."

The three of them were living a good life and had no intention of disrupting the balance.

He Xin said: "It is because the people have many misunderstandings about the Lord."

A lord who is unmarried, childless, and in the prime of his life, and a bunch of loyal and devoted ministers, is indeed prone to criticism. He Shu sneered at those people who arranged couples, but the lord's outspoken preference did make people think about it.

Even self-doubt began to arise.

Could it be that the master and his colleagues really had an affair?

But he just didn't notice it?

At the same time, he felt indescribable resentment, as if he would always be left behind because of their affair with the master.

On second thought, he regretted having such mean thoughts. Judging his colleagues in this way was not like the demeanor that he should have.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get, and the angrier I get, the more I think about it.

He simply kicked the congratulatory letter out and went to calm down.

After hearing He Xin's hesitant explanation, Shen Tang finally understood He Shu's subtle feelings and said in silence, "I didn't expect that Bu Zuo would have such weird thoughts..."

This is in stark contrast to her perception of He Shu.

He Xin's alcohol tolerance is not very good. He drank too much today and the alcohol was rising. In addition, the two brothers frequently switched control, which caused him to talk more than usual: "Xin and my brother have different ideas. If the Lord can really do this, it will be a good thing."

Favoring ministers is also a way to show the emperor's favor.

Since it is easy to use, what's wrong with using it?
Shen Tang: "...Are you drunk?"

She couldn't help but look up at the sky.

He Xin leaned against the pillar and defended himself, "I'm not drunk."

He said he was not drunk, but his speech was already becoming slurred.

He Shu said: "Stupid, the problem is not the lack of wealth but the inequality!"

He Xin felt even more dizzy, and he held onto the pillar to avoid falling down: "Brother, please stop talking all the time..."

He Shu said: "As long as you don't talk nonsense."

He Xin's throat spasmed and he leaned against the pillar and retched.

Shen Tang: "..."

She was a little confused as she watched He Xin and He Shu quarreling louder and louder. Fortunately, Xiahou Yu came to bring sobering soup, which eased the awkward situation. Xiahou Yu didn't know that He Xin and He Shu were brothers, and just thought that "He Shu" was not a good drinker and went crazy after getting drunk.

She reported this to her original self, wanting to hear his opinion.

My Lord, do you have any idea?

The original master Shen Tang: “…”

No, they are just one person, what's the point of asking her?

Just at this time, someone came to deliver the latest map.

Shen Tang looked up and thought, isn’t this a coincidence?
"Bu Zuo and Hao Gu just got drunk."

The clerk in a neat and tight-sleeved suit looked up at her and frowned, "They don't like wine, at most they just drink a little. So it's because I'm not here that the two brothers revealed their true nature?"

"I didn't drink too much. I guess I felt dizzy because I was talking too frequently during the fight." Shen Tang briefly described the details of what had just happened.

"Your Majesty, please do not pay attention to them." The clerk showed a complex and strange expression, as if to say, "These two men are really embarrassing." "To put it bluntly, they... ahem, have different opinions..."

This is a common occurrence. But this time it happened in front of the real owner.

Shen Tang: "???"

The clerk explained: "Although it is related to the Lord's personal affairs, it is fundamentally related to the political situation. Buzuo thinks that the Lord is doing well now. If there is a careless husband interfering in politics, it will easily cause unrest in the court. Haogu thinks that the Lord has a good relationship with his ministers, and there are many loyal singles among them. Favoring him will be more conducive to stability."

In fact, you don’t have to be single to be favored.

It is beyond ethics for a monarch to favor his subjects. Not only the subjects themselves, but even their inner chambers would be proud of it...

Shen Tang was dumbfounded.

The clerk explained: "My son has absolutely no intention of offending the Lord. All his thoughts and concerns are... all for the Lord and the country."

Shen Tang did not show the anger that the clerk was worried about. She nodded: "I understand. To put it simply, He Shu has no CP. Whoever the master favors is unfair to the non-favored person. He Xin has NP. He favors his ministers to establish a more stable interest relationship... I think this brotherly hobby is a bit ahead of its time."

No wonder He Shu was so upset just now.

Clerk: “…”

Shen Tang said: "It's a pity, I am a pure love party."

Clerk: "Pure Love Party?"

Shen Tang said: "It doesn't cost money to raise one."

Other conditions can be postponed, but this one cannot.

Clerk: “…”

Shen Tang looked at the route on the map for a while, then looked up at the clerk and asked abruptly, "What do you think?"

The clerk was stunned for a moment: "Is this something you can say?"

Shen Tang nodded: "I don't mind."

The clerk said, "I think Qi Zhongshu is a good choice."

If there was any sign, she would definitely vote for her friend Qishan.

Shen Tang: "... Yuanliang, I don't like it."

She still prefers to eat younger men.

Clerk: “…”

She was about to say something when her boss Qin Li arrived.

The clerk bowed hastily and left, his back looking a little anxious.

Qin Li was surprised and said, "It's rare to see her being so reckless."

Drawing is a delicate job, Qin Li cannot do everything himself, and there are very few people in the army who are good at painting, so most of the time they just draw a rough outline. However, the southwest is full of mountains and rivers, and the direction of the mountains and waterways is complicated, so it cannot be vague, so they can only recruit specially. It was also unexpected that the civil servant went to the battlefield. The He Shu brothers were reluctant at first, but they could not change the civil servant's willingness, so they had to agree.

Clerks are mostly in the logistics areas, which is relatively safe.

She deals with Qin Li quite frequently on a daily basis, and has the impression that this lady is dignified and mature. Why is she acting so out of character today?

Shen Tang said: "The CP dance has come to the main character."

Qin Li didn't know what Xipi was before, but after spending more time with his master, he also understood the meaning of certain specific words. He shook his head and said, "Fortunately, the master has a good temper and allowed her to do something nonsense..."

If it were anyone else, he would be charged with disrespect.

"It can't be considered nonsense. This has indeed affected the government." Shen Tang thought of the King of Qi. Some of his actions were hard to describe, but the handling of the inner court was unexpectedly in the interests of the rulers. "Others just didn't have the chance to speak out. It's okay now. When the world is settled, I will also consider it."

Shen Tang filtered all the people around him.

Unexpectedly, she found someone who met her stringent requirements.

Qin Li was surprised: "My Lord?"

I actually felt a bit distressed and reluctant.

Has the master ever wronged herself because of the situation? She never did that before, so why is it that now that she is in a high position and has great power, she has done that?
Shen Tang changed the subject and asked, "How is Mei Meng?"

Qin Li had no choice but to follow the topic and said, "A trapped beast's fight."

The remaining soldiers were forced into a steep valley. The mountains here were complex and intertwined, and there was no food supply. It would take a lot of physical strength and energy to break out. In her current situation, she couldn't do it.

Shen Tang said: "I don't know if she regrets it."

When Mei Meng contacted Lu Jue, Lu Jue also took the opportunity to reply to the other party's message, the content of which was nothing more than recruiting her to surrender.

As long as we surrender at that time, we can have a dignified ending.

Mei Meng naturally did not agree.

She arranged a better "place" for herself and the king.

However, as the party being arranged, the Queen of Qi was very emotional and excited after learning of Mei Meng's plan. She looked at Mei Meng in disbelief and said in a low voice: [Jinghe, do you know what you are saying now? ]

Full of disbelief!
I don't believe Mei Meng's suggestion to let her die!

Yes, to die!

Being besieged by the allied forces of Kangguo, Mei Meng made all kinds of plans and also planned a retreat for other allies, but the arrangement for himself was to stay and fight to the death! What does fighting to the death mean? It means to die!

For a moment, she wondered who Mei Meng was loyal to!

【I know naturally.】

[I think you don't know!] The King of Qi was so excited that he was trembling all over, breathing rapidly, and his muscles were tense like strings because of anger, like an angry trapped beast, his eyes were bloodshot, [As a minister, shouldn't you be loyal to the king?]

Mei Meng's eyes were calm: [I will accompany my lord.]

[Why? Why! ]

The King of Qi's mind was filled with these three words.

She couldn't figure out why.

Mei Meng told herself confidently that her loyalty was evident to all, but at the same time she gave life to others and left herself to die!

Isn't true loyalty to help her escape?

Unexpectedly, underneath Mei Meng's calmness was a kind of shocking paranoia and excitement: [Because it's meaningless! Escaping is just a temporary way to survive. It's an inevitable trend for Kangguo to unify the southwest. Rather than surrendering, it's better to fight to the death until the last soldier! ]

[What's the point of this? Are you sending yourself to die?]

She didn't understand why fighting to the death was more meaningful than surrendering with hands tied? Why was she so sure that escaping was just a way to survive? It was unknown whether she would come back again! Mei Meng said: [You are the king! This is the meaning! If you don't have Gu Ren's benevolence, Zheng Qiao's bad reputation, or Wu Xian's good luck, at least you should have the character of a hero! It's just a life, life and death are just a moment! ]

The King of Qi was shocked by her madness.

After calming down, I just felt that Mei Meng was absurd and terrifying.

【Just... life? 】

This is her life, how can it be just two words?

Mei Meng: [If you are famous in history books in the future and there is a line praising your character and courage, it will be worth it - apart from other things, at least you are the first true female ruler to die. Women in the future will also be grateful for your integrity when they mention you! ]

Even if you lose, there are two ways of losing: beautiful and ugly.

There is no shame in losing to a winner.

I was relatively frugal during Double 11 this year. The major expenses were two large bags of cat food and a new automatic cat litter box. Including the cashback from red envelopes, this second-generation cat litter box is quite cost-effective and much cheaper than the first generation. In addition to the one for my cat roommate, I also bought myself a full set of laser tickets for Jiansan, a yellow plush doll, two pairs of decorative dolls, and snacks that can last for more than a month. Hmm_(:з」∠)_
