Condescending and Condescending

And the first thing King Taki did when he got the reward was to go back to Shandong.

The main reason is to receive those fiefdoms and show off his current status by the way.

And the main object of showing off is not Pei's mother and son.

After all, he had had enough of being ridden on the head by a woman, so it had been a long time since he thought of this bad breath.

So he brought back all the concubines he raised outside.

Then he sat down on the main seat, picked up the tea and took a sip unhurriedly, before saying, "Bo Min, it's not that I broke my promise to gain weight, but because these women were sent by the dignitaries in Beijing. Give it to me, I can't shirk it, so you see?"

He almost said, "This time is different from the past. I am now the hottest Taki King with an army of 20. Even if your father, the head of the Pei family, comes to me, he has to respectfully call me Taki King, So I advise you to be more sensible, otherwise don't blame me for not thinking about the love between husband and wife' this sentence is written on the face.

What does it mean for a villain to become rampant when he succeeds, that's it.

Pei laughed angrily: "Whatever you want, you can do whatever you want!"

Because her tears have long since dried up.

But King Taki was obviously not that satisfied with Pei's reaction.

So he immediately said: "In that case, then I will decide to take them into the palace."

Then he turned his head to look at the group of concubines in the outside room: "What are you still doing, why don't you hurry up and offer tea to the princess!"

"Yes."

The concubines in the outside room immediately said cheerfully.

"Princess, please drink tea!"

Looking at the tea brought to her, Pei's face turned green.

Although she had long since ceased to have any hope for King Taki, when she saw his ugly face again, she was still disgusted.

So she couldn't help thinking, if there were no heavy machine guns and bazookas to rely on, facing such a scene, with her character, she would probably be so angry that she vomited blood!

But she still held back, King Taki just wanted to see her endure the humiliation, so it doesn't matter if she fulfilled his wish.

Let him do it, so that when she takes revenge back in the future, she won't feel unbearable.

And anyway, it wasn't her who was kneeling on the ground right now.

So Pei Shi gritted her teeth and took the teacups handed over by those concubines.

Seeing this scene, King Taki felt relieved physically and mentally.

Zhao Yan on the side also laughed.

Isn't Mrs. Pei always very proud?Relying on the fact that he was born in a noble family, he dared to climb on top of his husband to show off his might.

But now, doesn't she still have to honestly welcome King Taki's concubine into the door?

But that's a perfectly normal thing.

Just like how the Song family was arrogant in front of them back then, they still lowered their so-called noble heads—just five days ago, the Song family returned [-]% of the shares in Liulichang to him, and even took the initiative to match Thinking of him and Miss Song's family, even though he knew that it was impossible for him to marry Miss Song's family as his wife now.

At this time, the Song family didn't dislike him for being the adulterous son of a bitch, nor did they dislike him for being an ignorant person who couldn't even pass the county exam.

From this point of view, what is the difference between the Pei family and the Song family's group of fools who bully the poor and love the rich?

Thinking of this, he probably finally overthrew Pei Shi, the mountain that had been pressing on his head for decades, or finally saw Pei Shi's 'nature' clearly, so when King Taki looked at Pei Shi again, he suddenly felt He felt that, with his current status, it would be condescending to argue with Mrs. Pei over these trivial matters.

So he said indifferently: "Okay, let's leave this matter at that."

"By the way, I have heard that when the barbarian army besieged the city, the officials and gentry in the city advocated that you go out of the city and surrender, but they also thought about the lives of the people in the city, and Shandong still needs them to govern, so you dare Don't worry about it with them."

After all, those officials and squires dedicated most of their property to him.

——Because they were also worried that after he came back, he would help Princess Taki to take revenge on them.

But now, in King Taki's heart, the present Pei's mother and son are of course not as important as millions of taels of silver.

What's more, the forces behind these officials and squires are intricate and complicated. If they really want to deal with them for the affairs of the inner house, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to his seizure of the throne in the future.

So it's better to simply use this matter to give favor to those officials, squires and the families behind them, and win their gratitude. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

After speaking, King Taki took Zhao Yan away contentedly.

Pei almost spit out the overnight meal.

She regretted it. If she had known that King Taki's true face was actually such a virtue, she should have encouraged Fang Yanqin to turn against him.

Thinking of this, she remembered that Fang Yanqin was not in the mansion at the moment, so she immediately asked, "Where's Yanqin?"

The butler at the side bowed and said, "My lord went out early in the morning, and he said that he probably won't come back tonight."

Don't come back at night?

Pei's heart skipped a beat, and it was hard not to think about it.

Then her expression became complicated in an instant.

Isn't Fang Yanqin hiding in Chen Ci's residence right now?

As soon as Chen Ci entered the door, he rushed out from behind the door and hugged him.

Chen Ci was startled, subconsciously pushed Fang Yanqin away, and called out his servants loudly, but the next second, a familiar chuckle came from his ear.

Chen Ci's movements froze instantly.

Then I heard the person behind him say: "What kind of incense is Xiuzhi using now, it smells so good!"

Chen Ci: "..."

A word came out of his mind out of nowhere——

It smells like cheating.

So he wanted to push Fang Yanqin away angrily, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing here? Have you forgotten that King Taki and Zhao Yan are back, if they find out that you came to find me..."

But before he could finish speaking, Fang Yanqin directly lowered his head and blocked his mouth.

Chen Ci, a frail scholar, was no match for Fang Yanqin, a prodigal son, so in the end, not only failed to push him away, but he hugged him even tighter.

——He completely forgot, half a month ago, how he chopped off the head of the barbarian boss who verbally molested him before the battle.

So slowly, he loosened his grip on Fang Yanqin's clothes.

Then, he fell into Fang Yanqin's arms directly.

When he was almost out of breath, Fang Yanqin let him go, and replied with satisfaction: "Don't worry, I came in over the wall, so no one will find out."

Chen Ci: "..."

You are a dignified prince and nobleman, and you are proud of climbing over the wall.

Then he heard Fang Yanqin say again: "I miss you, do you miss me?"

Chen Ci stopped talking immediately.

Because not wanting is impossible.

They had been separated for months after all.

So he couldn't help but put his face on Fang Yanqin's chest.

There is a bright moonlight outside the house, and inside the house are two people hugging each other tightly.

Coupled with the peach blossoms blooming outside the window, the breeze blowing slowly..., with such a warm scene, Chen Ci's heart also calmed down.

He couldn't even help thinking, if only time could stay at this moment forever.

In this way, he no longer has to worry about Fang Yanqin's identity, and he doesn't have to do things that violate benevolence and morality in order to avenge his family...

Thinking of this, Chen Ci slowly closed his eyes.

As a result, in the next second, Fang Yanqin said: "If you don't answer, then I will take it as your acquiescence."

After finishing speaking, he picked up Chen Ci and strode towards where the bed was.

Chen Ci suddenly opened his eyes: "..."

Think about it and know what dialect Qin wants to do.

So even before that, no matter how much warmth he had in his heart, it all disappeared at this moment.

Look out the window again, what bright moonlight, it is clearly the yellowed moonlight.

But what happened?

Chen Ci immediately struggled: "Why did I acquiesce?"

Fang Yanqin said bluntly: "I asked you if you want me, and if you don't answer, it's a tacit consent!"

"And I am a whole, and my gun is a part of me, so since you miss me, round up, don't you miss my gun too."

After speaking, he directly put Chen Ci on the bed.

Chen Ci: "..."

At this moment, he clearly saw a line of characters popping up on the top of the dialect: 'Contains 99% dog content'.

Then he was bitten by a dog.

He wanted to struggle and resist, but it's still the same sentence, who made him just a weak scholar, how could he be the opponent of Fang Yanqin, a prodigal son...

The most important thing is that the time interval is too long, and he can't remember the specific data of Fang Yanqin's gun, so he needs to re-measure it several times...

But there's no need to tell Fang Yanqin about this.

Otherwise, that guy will definitely beat the snake with a stick brazenly...

It's a pity that this measurement experiment was interrupted by Chen Ci's housekeeper just in the middle of it.

Because Zhao Yan sent someone over, saying that he asked Chen Ci to discuss important matters.

Fang Yanqin: "..."

Chen Ci: "..."

Fang Yanqin could only speed up, and the result was that the experimenters and the experimental equipment were not very satisfied.

So Fang Yanqin also regretted it. If he had known that today would happen, he should have just turned back.

However, thinking that he might be able to use this measurement too hastily in the future, and the data may not be accurate to invite Chen Ci to come again, his mood improved a lot.

And Zhao Yan was not too happy, because he waited for half an hour before Chen Ci finally arrived.

It was just because the air pressure around Chen Ci was lower than his, so that he subconsciously held back the words of reprimand.

Chen Ci only said: "I don't know why the lord and lord called his subordinates here?"

King Taki couldn't wait any longer: "Xiuzhi, now that the rebels have been suppressed and the barbarians have surrendered, I can be said to be in the limelight now, and I just received the news that the Empress seems to be pregnant, so I think I It should go further."

"But the other feudal lords will definitely not agree..."

King Taki remembered that the nine vassal kings of the last generation conspired against each other a year later, because Zhou Wang, the most powerful of the vassal kings, sent his goddaughter to lurk in Zhao Yan's backyard and asked Zhao Yan about muskets. The approximate manufacturing technology.

And the reason why he knew this was precisely because he was one of the nine vassal kings.

However, they were still defeated in the end, because Zhao Yan had Chen Ci, an all-round military adviser, on his side.

It's just that although Zhao Yan won, the loss was also very heavy.

And King Taki is now on Zhao Yan's side, of course he doesn't want to see Zhao Yan suffer heavy losses, so he is always a little uneasy that those vassal kings will not be destroyed.

Most importantly, he didn't want to wait a year in vain.

"So Xiuzhi, do you have any good ideas?"

Chen Ci likes this kind of cannibalism.

Even the low air pressure around him was swept away.

After all, these vassal kings are not good things, not to mention how much their Chen family has done for the country and the people for generations. How much force?

——Because many civil and military officials from various places are from the Chen family or old disciples of the Chen family, if something happens to them, those feudal lords can naturally place their own people in those positions.

It's just that these vassal kings have relied on their power to oppress the people and plunder money over the years, and they have done everything they can.

Therefore, Chen Ci was not guilty at all of plotting against them.

"Simple."

He said.

Hearing this, even Zhao Yan couldn't help but sit up straight.

Chen Ci: "As long as the prince submits a letter to the empress, he asks himself to cut down the feudal clan and return the fiefdom, and change the hereditary status to a lower rank."

"what?"

Takio was startled.

Zhao Yan's eyes lit up.

Because the current Qian Dynasty is somewhat similar to the current Ming Dynasty.

After Qian Taizu ascended the throne, he entrusted his sons to various places as vassal kings, and the titles of vassal kings are all hereditary, so that there are now more than 80 vassal kings in Dagan, and it takes a lot of money to support these vassal kings every year. It consumes [-]% of the tax silver of the national treasury.

The most important thing is that these vassal kings still have military power, and they may turn back at any time.

And what is the difference between Chen Ci's move and directly forcing those vassal kings to die.

After all, the fiefdom disappeared overnight, and the title passed on for several generations would also disappear. It's no wonder those feudal lords are not crazy.

And they have only two choices, either agree to cut the vassal, or rebel directly.

If they choose the former, they will lose their fief, and even if they want to rebel in the future, they will not be able to rebel.

If they choose the latter, it's even easier, just get rid of them.

But King Taki couldn't help feeling a little bit heartbroken, not only because of his original fiefdoms, but also for those fiefdoms that the Empress just rewarded him, and he hasn't even warmed up those fiefdoms yet.

But he reacted quickly.

Aren't they just fiefdoms? When he becomes emperor, the whole world will be his, so why should he feel sorry for these fiefdoms?

So he clapped his hands sharply: "OK."

Chen Ci smiled.

So half a month later, King Long, who returned to the capital, said that wars broke out frequently, and the common people had no means of living, while the vassal king was addicted to eating, drinking, and enjoying himself, and did not think about making progress, so that the country and the people were exhausted. For the reason, I wrote to ask the empress to cut down the vassal.

The empress readily agreed to play, and immediately issued an order to call the vassal kings from all over the country to Beijing to discuss the matter of reducing the vassal.

The vassal kings from all over the world who received the imperial edict were really mad.

"Stupid woman, she really is a stupid woman. She really thinks that King Taki's proposal to cut down the feudal clan is for her own good? But she doesn't think about it. Without our check and balance, King Taki will want to pull her down in the future, but it's just a matter of lip service. matter."

"No wonder the ancients said that the rooster wakes up in the morning, which is a bad omen, and now the catastrophe is indeed imminent."

"So what should we do now?"

"What else can I do, it's the other way around."

"But don't you forget, King Taki is holding a musket, a big killer?"

"So what, are you really willing to be cut off?"

"That's right, it's better to fight for it than let it be mermaid in the future."

So one month later, the thirteen vassal kings raised 60 troops in the name of "Fighting Wudao, the side of the Qing emperor" to attack King Taki.
