The Three Kingdoms Voyage

Chapter 234 The Pirate Empire is Tolerant
Sun Shao babbled, and took the trouble to list the tragedy of a talented woman who was useless and could only be reduced to the victim of a vying for favor. Introduction, and simply misunderstood the meaning of the sages.But looking at that flimsy swimsuit, when I thought of wearing such revealing clothes in broad daylight, I couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

"Mum, people are born in the water, and returning to the water is the best way to exercise in accordance with the way of heaven." Sun Shao's nonsense one after another, made Daqiao's heart flutter: "Amum is the movement." There are too few, so the body is weak, you just have to follow the aunt and insist on swimming in the sea for half an hour every day, and you will be guaranteed to be younger every year. Look at the aunt, she is standing with Yinping, who can see them Two generations? I don’t think it’s any different from my sisters.”

"Can I compare with her?" Daqiao gave Sun Shao a dumbfounded look, but his thoughts couldn't help but come alive.She is not a few years older than Sun Shangxiang, but she looks much older than Sun Shangxiang. Sun Shangxiang is like a female leopard, full of vitality, but she is aging prematurely, and her fatigue is gradually showing.If he can really be like Sun Shangxiang, then it's really worth a try, anyway, there are female soldiers guarding him, so he won't be seen by other men.

Sun Shao looked at Daqiao's flickering eyes, and felt complacent. He finally found a way for Daqiao to spend other than reading books and playing the piano. At critical moments, he had to rely on fooling around.

"So, I misunderstood you." Ohashi smiled apologetically.

"Of course." Sun Shao nodded again and again: "Mum, think about it, if I'm really a king of obscenity, why bother with this matter? It's not enough to find five hundred women to dance in front of them naked. I grew up under your teachings, how can you distrust me so much? You know that I want to sincerely work for the welfare of the people of the world, I don’t have any thoughts about these female soldiers, I am..."

"Okay, okay, I know you are a good king, so you don't have to boast so much, do you?" Seeing that Sun Shaoyi couldn't stop talking, Daqiao couldn't help interrupting his words in a funny way. In an instant, she seemed to forget Knowing that the young man in front of her is not a king, but the naughty boy who joked and laughed at her knee.

"Hee hee hee, I'm wronged." Sun Shaoqian laughed twice: "By the way, why did auntie come to thank you?"

"It's nothing. She rushed over two days ago and asked me if I have any soups for health care, so I gave her some of the prescriptions you made for me." Daqiao said suspiciously: "I Look at her looking like a tiger, what are you doing with these?"

Sun Shao was also very puzzled, Sun Shangxiang was sick?It doesn't look like it, she has been very angry recently, what is the prescription for recuperating?
"By the way, Aman, you invited the prime minister and the others to Zhuya this time, but left Yinping and the child in Qian Tang, isn't it too risky? If Wu Guo comes to attack, isn't it too risky for Qian Tang to have too many people?" less?"

"Hehehe..." Sun Shao smiled without saying a word, got up and looked outside, waved to let the maids stand a little farther away, then returned to the bridge, and said softly: "Mum, don't worry, if Wu Wang attacked Qian Tang before this, I was still a little worried, but now, he is too busy to take care of himself, and he has no ability to attack Qian Tang. Think about it, who is he in the hands of now? Where is he arranged? To the west is In the Kingdom of Shu, Yinping's father is a great general of the Kingdom of Shu, and now the family is in full swing. The last time something happened, the Kingdom of Shu was the first to approach the city. To the north is Qingxu. Zang Ba and Sun Guan are my partners. Once the Kingdom of Wu wants to treat us They will not sit idly by if something happens, and there is also Su Yu, the governor of the East China Sea that I have arranged in Lianyungang, if he goes south, the coastal area of ​​Wu State will become his target of attack."

"Oh." Daqiao breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly loosened his tightly held hands.

"I asked Yinping to guard Qiantang. It seems very dangerous, but in fact nothing happened." Sun Shao smiled calmly: "I hope that Wu Guo will attack, so that Yinping will not be too boring, and he can also make meritorious deeds. Her Queen's position is as stable as Mount Tai, and she can be a woman, an official, and a general, but unfortunately, the King of Wu did not come."

Daqiao glanced at Sun Shao and was very satisfied.She has always been worried that Sun Shao will betray Guan Feng after marrying more women, but now it seems that this worry is completely unnecessary.Sun Shao is already aware of the possible battles in the harem, so he is planning for Guan Feng in advance, and thinking that many of Sun Shao's soldiers from the Guan family have now become the backbone of the army, and Guan Feng's queen position is unavoidable. shake.In fact, she didn't care much about Guan Feng's status, but her feelings for Guan Fengsheng's son Ayi were unusual.During those days in Jianye, she had already regarded Ah Yi as Sun Shao's substitute, and poured all her heart and soul into her. It's all broken.

"By the way, it's time for Ah Yi to have a name." Ohashi reminded.

"I've made up my mind, the name is Feng, and I will call it Yuansi in the future." Sun Shao chuckled and said, "He is the prince of my Yue Kingdom, and he will inherit my foundation in the future."

"It's good, it's good." Daqiao was happier than any baby when he heard this.

"However, it is not so easy to be a prince." Sun Shao changed the subject and became serious: "It is not an easy task to be a promising king. Mencius said that the sky will send great responsibilities to people, You must first suffer your mind, exhaust your muscles and bones, starve your skin, and empty your body. Ah Li is a good boy, but he is still far away from the king of a country. Before I hand over the throne to him, I will let him Suffering, suffering a lot, and sometimes it may even be dangerous. Mom, I don’t know if you and Yinping can understand this, if you have a deep love for the calf, you may not understand what I do.”

When Daqiao heard this, she couldn't help but wrinkled her head again. However, she is an educated person after all, and knows that Mencius's words are reasonable. If she wants to become a promising king, she will inevitably suffer. A loving mother is a failure , being too soft-hearted is not the way of parenting, but everyone knows the truth. If you really want to see your heart and soul suffer, whether you can be hard-hearted, and whether you can persist in being hard-hearted, that is the difference between success and failure.

Sun Shao looked at the bridge, and the bridge was also looking at Sun Shao. She understood what Sun Shao meant. When Sun Shao asked Ah Yi to start practicing martial arts, she always felt sorry for her children and blamed Sun Shao for being too cruel. Looking at it now, in fact, Sun Shao Shao’s love for children is no less than her.

Daqiao nodded, but the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and muttered: "You didn't start practicing martial arts so early, isn't your skill still good now?"

Sun Shao was stunned for a moment, but he hadn't thought about this issue.According to Daqiao's doting on him and the family conditions at that time, it seems that he really didn't have many opportunities to practice martial arts, but his skills are really good, not counting the memories he brought, only counting his previous body, it seems that he also It is a master.

Am I a born master?

Seeing Sun Shao's puzzled look, Daqiao thought he was still thinking about how to explain him, so he said impatiently: "Okay, the child is yours, you can make troubles as you like, and I don't care about it from now on."

Sun Shao felt a little sad when he heard that, and sighed, sat beside Daqiao, took her hand and covered it in his palm, stared into Daqiao's eyes, and said softly: "Aunt, how can you say that, Yinping and I But I have never thought of it this way, you must not misunderstand us."

Daqiao was also a little bit regretful, this sentence was a bit too culpable, but she didn't know how to explain it, faintly, she seemed to have some regrets.Ah Yi is good at everything, only one thing is bad, that is, it is not her child, or in other words, she lacks everything now, except for a child born by herself, and she always feels a little insufficient in her heart.

But, how could he have another child? Could it be that a woman is not a complete woman if she has never given birth to a child in her life?
"Ai——" Daqiao sighed, held Sun Shao's hand behind his back, and stroked it gently: "Aman, I just said unintentionally, don't take it to heart, I... I didn't mean that."

Sun Shao blinked, he was a little at a loss for Daqiao's complicated eyes at this moment.In recent years, especially after he got married, Daqiao has rarely been as close to him as before, and rarely showed such an expression in front of him.In a daze, he was used to seeing Daqiao as a mother, unlike when he first came to this world, he often blurred the boundaries between his stepmother and sister. At that time, Daqiao had a bad face, but She was still very young, at least in his eyes, and in the past two years, he clearly felt that Daqiao was aging at a faster rate, especially after the hostage incident.

A pang of guilt surged in Sun Shao's heart, and he sighed silently. Although the matter was handled successfully, he would never forgive himself for the damage to the bridge. He thought for a while: "Mother, Zhu Ya has There are many hot springs, which are very good for your health, I will accompany you to look around in a few days, choose a place with good scenery, and I will build you a manor."

"Why do you want to build a manor just for me?" Daqiao said puzzled, with some tension between the colors: "Is it inconvenient for me and you...to be together?"

"What's the matter." Sun Shao said with a smile: "Isn't my mother not used to swimming in front of outsiders? I will build you a manor alone, so you can be more free and don't have to worry too much about what you want to do. Hot springs are good. Things can not only heal diseases and strengthen the body, but also beautify the face. This kind of good fortune was originally born for a beauty like Grandma, so it would be a waste to not use it.”

Only then did Daqiao feel relieved, and angrily said: "There are not a few serious words, and the joke is on my head?"

"Uh——" Sun Shao had a bitter face: "I'm a filial piety, okay?"

"Filial piety?" Daqiao suddenly remembered something, and glanced at Sun Shao: "If you really think about me, I will invite your aunt to stay here for a few days. I have only one younger sister left. If I can see her, even if it is I am also happy to eat bran swallowed vegetables."

"Hey..." Sun Shao straightened up, rubbed his chin and said with a smirk: "Mother, is that little Zhongying thinking about something again? I haven't settled with him about Ayu's matter. Yinping is the same. The soldiers are left to her just in case, so she will use them for this?"

Daqiao laughed awkwardly, she started this matter, if she hadn't forced Guan Feng to do it, how could Guan Feng use secret soldiers.But judging from Sun Shao's expression, he didn't mean to blame.

"This matter is not easy to handle. Boying is now the general of the Wu Kingdom, and Ayu is an unmarried concubine. Zhongying has come to me again. My aunt is the only hostage. No matter what, she can't leave Jianye. Come to Zhuya. Mother, you can make it difficult for me."

When Daqiao heard it, he was also a little embarrassed. After much deliberation, there was no good solution, so he shook his head and stopped pressing.However, when she thought about the current situation of Xiaoqiao and Zhou Yu, she was very concerned again.

"Mother, I have a solution." Xia Houhui's petite figure appeared at the door, seeing Daqiao and Sun Shao sitting on their knees, holding hands together, he couldn't help being taken aback, but then covered it up again, reaching out to brush his temples With a lock of hair, he said: "Just now I saw my aunt busy making soup in Dongchu, and when I came back, I just heard what my mother said. I have a way to let my mother see my aunt."

Daqiao withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and forced a smile: "You can talk about it."

Xia Houhui walked to the other side of the bridge, leaned affectionately beside the bridge, and muttered a few words. The bridge was not used to it, but after listening to her words, his eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Xiahou Hui's playing in surprise. With a broken face, she praised: "Yuanrong, you are really lovely, such a good idea, why didn't I think of it." She turned her head and looked at Sun Shao reproachfully: "Aman, don't you want to let me Is your aunt coming?"

"What kind of words are these? How could I have such an idea?" Sun Shao was puzzled.

"That's such a good idea, why don't you use it?" Daqiao pressed every step of the way, suddenly becoming energetic.Sun Shao was at a loss: "What good idea do you have? If it can be done, of course I welcome it. Although I am still poor, it should be no problem to entertain my aunt, let alone invite her to accompany my mother. , even if I just build her a manor, I can still afford it."

"That's not necessary, let her live with me." Daqiao pursed his lips and smiled, showing a playful smile in an instant, which made Sun Shao stunned. "Zhongying is not young anymore, you should pay attention to see which family's daughter is suitable, and help him find out, then you can let your aunt come?"

Sun Shao suddenly realized that this was indeed a good idea. No matter how serious Sun Quan was, he would not have allowed Xiaoqiao to attend Zhou Yin's wedding, but what about Zhou Yu?Why didn't he know that Daqiao wanted Xiaoqiao to come over for nothing, and that getting Zhou Yu over was his real purpose.He scratched his head, and had to answer vaguely: "Let me take a look first, this is not a trivial matter, and Zhongying must agree to it anyway."

"As long as you put your heart into it, you can always do it." Daqiao laughed: "I believe in you."

"Uh——" Sun Shao glanced at Xiahou Hui, made a fierce look that he would go back to deal with you later, and then nodded and said: "I must do it with my heart."

"What are you going to do?" Sun Shangxiang strode in, and the two female soldiers behind her were holding a steaming clay pot, and the other was holding a few bowls. Sun Shangxiang signaled them to carefully put the pots and bowls on the table , raised his eyebrows proudly: "Queen Dowager, Majesty, I invite you to drink soup. I stayed up for a whole day and night, how about it, it smells delicious, right?"

"You know how to cook soup?" Sun Shao and Daqiao glanced at each other, and their eyes widened in unison.

"Why? Can't you?" Sun Shangxiang was a little embarrassed by them, and shouted, "I'm a heroine who can go to the battlefield and go to the kitchen. What's the point of cooking two soups? Zhuya has rich ingredients and has According to Dong Feng, the genius doctor, my soup is definitely a great tonic. Try it, try it, and see how it tastes?"

While talking, Sun Shangxiang filled two bowls of soup with her own hands and placed it in front of Sun Shao and Daqiao, warmly inviting them to drink the soup.Daqiao picked up the bowl, picked up the spoon with two fingers, scooped up some soup, brought it to his lips, and took a sip. He frowned, glanced at Sun Shangxiang, and hesitated to speak.Sun Shangxiang's smile suddenly froze, and she quickly filled a bowl herself, took a sip, her expression changed drastically, and she waved for someone to pick up the clay pot and bowl and left, coming and going quickly, Sun Shao returned Before she had time to taste it, she disappeared outside the door.

"Why, it doesn't taste good?" Sun Shao asked Daqiao curiously.

"Others are okay, only one thing is wrong." Daqiao said solemnly: "She probably used the wrong water."

"Using the wrong water?" Sun Shao was puzzled. He had only heard of using the wrong material, but never heard of using the wrong water. Daqiao's words were really puzzling.

"Well, it's bitter and astringent, it should be boiled out of sea water."

"Pfft—" Sun Shao couldn't help laughing, and Xia Houhui couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing when he heard it. With a sound of "哗啦", Sun Shangxiang appeared outside the door again, blushing and shouting at Daqiao: "Sister-in-law, you are the queen mother now, how can you talk like that, you don't save face at all, isn't it just a little salty, As for the fact that it was boiled out of sea water?"

Sun Shao couldn't bear it anymore, he held his stomach and fell to the ground laughing.Sun Shangxiang flushed with embarrassment, stomped her feet, and ran away as if flying.

"How did this tiger become obsessed with making soup?" Daqiao asked with a puzzled smile while laughing, "I used to be the one who wouldn't help the oil bottle if it fell down."

Sun Shao was confused, Xiahou Hui also shook his head with a smile.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Sun Shao went back to his room and sat down. Xia Houhui made tea for him with his own hands, and then sat obediently opposite him, listening quietly. Sun Shao glanced at her while sipping tea. After a while, he said, "Yuanrong, what are you worried about?"

Xia Houhui was a little nervous, and shook his head after thinking for a moment: "The concubine is not worried about anything."

"Oh——" Sun Shao sighed, "Yuanrong, I know you are used to the fights between wives and concubines, but let me tell you, you are you, you will not be your mother, and I am not your father. ?"

"The concubine knows." Xia Houhui said in a nasal voice, but suppressed the tears that were about to overflow from his eyes: "How can my father stand shoulder to shoulder with the king."

"You..." Sun Shao wanted to say more, but seeing Xia Houhui's aggrieved look, he couldn't bear to say any more.Xiahou Hui was born in a wealthy family. When she was born, Cao Cao's great achievements had already been achieved, and Xiahou's family had also become a quasi-clan.Her biological mother is Cao Zhen's younger sister, but her father Xia Houshang doesn't like her mother. What he likes is another young and beautiful concubine Ji. He took that concubine with him when he went to war. He also rests in his concubine's room, and rarely comes to Xia Houhui's birth mother's room.At that time, Xia Houhui hated that concubine very much, and she even helped her mother to come up with ideas to deal with that concubine, but now that she has become a concubine herself, and felt the intentional or unintentional rejection of Daqiao and Guan Feng, she finally understood why her father's concubine did not hesitate to deal with it. Fight for favor by all means, because if you don't compete for favor, you will be bullied by others.

She didn't know about Guan Feng sending secret soldiers to help Zhou Yu. She just heard about it outside by accident today. She quickly understood why Guan Feng did this.Guan Feng did this not because she liked Zhou Yu so much, but because she wanted to please Daqiao. She knew that although Daqiao was a stepmother, in Sun Shao's heart, Daqiao was no less important than his biological mother. This was done in the hope that Zhou Yu could be drawn in and form a common front, because Guan Feng clearly felt that she was no match for Xia Houhui in terms of strategy, so she pushed the boat to help Zhou Yu. Yu will also be grateful to her, but if it doesn't work, she will do her best.

She doesn't want to fight, she's tired of fighting, but she can't run away, it's a bloodless battle, and she can't lose without a fight.However, she also knew that Sun Shao disliked this kind of fight, and he never wanted this kind of fight to happen by his side.She knew that she couldn't hide Sun Shao's careful thoughts, and when she decided to say that way, she was ready to face Sun Shao's reprimand.

"Yuanrong, do you know that the world is so big that you can't imagine it." Sun Shao's voice was a little confused and hollow, as if he was talking about Xiahouhui, but he didn't seem to be talking about Xiahouhui: "The East China Sea is as big as the big man Big, the South China Sea is big, even bigger than the Great Han, what about the West Sea? The West Sea is bigger than the East China Sea and the South China Sea combined. What is a mere Qiantang, what is a Zhuya, and what is a Yizhou? There are countless vermilion cliffs and countless Yizhous in the world waiting for us to conquer. You are so smart, why should you limit your attention to one county and one county? Tolerance is greatness, and desire is strength. Yuanrong, I hope you live up to your name and do A celebrity, be a tolerant celebrity. I have told you so many reasons, and analyzed the reasons for the rise and fall of the world countless times, don't you understand my intention?"

Xia Houhui couldn't help crying, and she bowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, it's my concubine who is stupid and didn't understand His deep meaning. Please punish me."

"Punish, punish, why should I punish you? I let you have capacity, but I am a person who has no capacity?" Sun Shao leaned forward and pulled Xia Houhui up, wiped the tears on her face with his hand, and said with a smile : "Yuanrong, now there is a daughter of your Xiahou family in the royal family of Wei, and the princess of Shu is also a descendant of your Xiahou family. You can't let me lose to Wei Shu in Yue Kingdom. Our Yue Kingdom takes the sea as its border, To build a country based on business, you must have a mind like the sea, be as shrewd as a businessman, and manage the world instead of focusing on petty profits."

Xia Houhui nodded embarrassedly, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes: "My lord, the fifth general seems to have a crush on someone."

"Oh?" Sun Shao was very surprised: "Who?"

"Naturally, people who need tonic soup."
