Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 57, The Qin family made a move, did Fan Ruoruo agree to the marriage proposal?

In order to capture Qianlong Bay, 40,000 people died in the Xiliang camp.

Even though Liu Hong had been preserving the strength of his army, he still lost more than 8,000 people.

And now Xing Qiwu wants to persuade Liu Hong to give up Qianlong Bay because he says that the country's strength can't sustain it.

What was the point of starting the war in the first place?

Liu Hong knew very well the country's strength. Qing Kingdom indeed had no food and its treasury was empty.

Faced with the endless rebellions of the Qi people in the occupied territories.

Liu Hong could understand that he had to give up some occupied territories.

But it definitely cannot be Qianlong Bay, which is the place where Liu Hong places all his hopes.

Fortunately, he was so anxious that he almost cried.

He doesn't want to give up these territories! The problem is that the people of Qi are in rebellion, and to quell the rebellion, silver, food, fodder and weapons must be allocated.

The current Qing Kingdom really cannot afford this amount of money.

We must face the reality!
Fortunately, Qiwu knew that if the news of his visit to Liu Hong spread, he didn't know how many people and generals of Qing State would point at him and call him a traitor.

But it still has to be done.

Liu Hong just called Xing Qiwu by his name, which in official circles can basically be regarded as an insult.

Fortunately, he still had a smiling face and was ready to persuade me.

Liu Hong spoke in a cold tone and waved his hand.

"Please make yourself at ease, sir. My old injury has flared up, so I need to rest for a while."

Fortunately, the creature was speechless, smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Then I will not disturb you, Lord Liu. I will take my leave now."

Liu Hong felt a little tired for a moment.

Just then, a pair of warm and cool fingers gently rubbed Liu Hong's temple.

"Sir, since you feel tired, why not take a rest for a while."

Liu Hong was immersed in it for a while, and he began to understand why heroes have always been unable to resist beautiful women.

Cheer up and go to the study.

The tone gradually became relaxed.

"How can that be? Others have already made their move, how can I not return the favor?"

There was a hint of tenderness in Sang Wen's eyes.

This man is really different from other playboys. He is hardworking, strong and smart.

He can be said to be the dream lover of many girls, including Sang Wen.

But Sang Wen knew that she was of low status and might not even be considered a concubine in the end, after all, she came from a brothel.

In the study, Liu Hong wrote quickly about the importance of Qianlong Bay, preparing to report it to Emperor Qing tomorrow.

Fortunately, such things will never come for no reason.

It must be the Qin family who took action. Emperor Qing warned them.

The Qin family could not openly impeach Liu Hong, so they could only use their influence to secretly weaken Liu Hong's power.

This time, Chen Pingping went to the Qin family to deliver the message.

It seems that the problem has been resolved, but in fact it lays the groundwork for more intense conflicts in the future.

It can be called the Treaty of Versailles.

The Qin family has reached the point where they can rise no higher, but Liu Hong is still young, and his influence in the court will grow in the future.

If a conflict breaks out again, I'm afraid both sides will have to mobilize their private armies.

"What a pity! Mr. Qin is the chief envoy of the Privy Council, in charge of military mobilization. He is definitely the top person. Now there is no way to overthrow him."

Liu Hong sighed, looked at the memorial he had written, and then put it into the fire and burned it.

This memorial mentioning the importance of Qianlong Bay is not acceptable.

It is too easy to offend the generals of the border counties.

If Qianlong Bay is important and cannot be given up, then can other places be given up?

Even if the generals of the border counties do not think so, the Qin family will make them think so.

Liu Hong then slowly began to write a memorial. It was completely meaningless, with several hundred words devoted entirely to praising Emperor Qing for being the best in the world in both civil and military affairs.

It was just that it was secretly strengthened a little in the corner. Because of the wise leadership of Emperor Qing, Qianlong Bay has become the territory of Qing Kingdom and produces thousands of war horses every year.

Liu Hong nodded with satisfaction.

A good memorial is one that does not use oneself as a target.

After sleeping in the study room all night, Liu Hong got up full of energy. Being young is good, and he recovered in a few hours. Today is a grand court meeting, and it is important to be particular about what official uniform to wear.

Liu Hong had three sets of official uniforms: the third-rank deputy general of Xiliang, the third-rank right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and the second-rank earl Peibo uniform.

Having just picked up the official uniform of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Liu Hong thought for a while and then put on Pei Bo's uniform.

Liu Hong was just about to leave with his guards when Sang Wen suddenly trotted over and handed Liu Hong a package with a red face.

"Eat it while it's hot, my Lord."

The guards around him winked at each other, thinking that their master's spring had come.

Soon, Liu Hong's mansion will have a new mistress, Fan Ruoruo.

What a lucky guy!

Liu Hong felt the residual heat from the package and was stunned for a moment. When he opened it, he saw an ugly-looking bun inside.

The only girl who could make such ugly buns is Sang Wen.

Even if Liu Hong cooked, it wouldn't be like this.

However, Liu Hong felt a warm feeling in his heart, as if his act of redeeming herself was helping him win the heart of the beauty.

Then Liu Hong suppressed the throbbing in his heart.

I wolfed down the bun in big mouthfuls. It tasted okay, except that there was no salt in it. I almost vomited it out.

After seeing Liu Hong's actions, Sang Wen smiled with satisfaction, holding her pipa with her slender fingers.

You can vaguely see a few slight bloodstains on the fingers, which are the signs of a cooking beginner.

Liu Hong went to the grand court meeting with his personal guards.

However, when they arrived outside the palace, all the guards were stopped outside, which was understandable.

When Liu Hong saw the two ministers and assistant ministers of the Ministry of War, he followed them tacitly, acknowledging that he was a member of the Ministry of War.

Huang Ming and He Hai saw it and smiled with satisfaction.

When he was halfway there, a voice from behind stopped Liu Hong.

"Liu Hong!"

In official circles, it is very impolite to call someone by his or her taboo name.

A trace of anger flashed across Liu Hong's face, he turned around and gave a bitter smile.

It turned out to be this gentleman! Not to mention calling him by name, even if he was scolded in front of everyone, Liu Hong would have to endure it.

This is Liu Hong’s future father-in-law, Sinanbo Fan Jian.

Fan Jian had a gloomy face, as if someone owed him money.

Officials around him kept greeting him, but Fan Jian ignored them.

Liu Hong's scalp tingled and he tried hard to force a smile.

"Master Si Nanbo, why are you here so early today? Come... I'll support you."

Fan Jian glanced at Liu Hong and spoke expressionlessly.

"Do I look like I'm dying? Do I need your help?"

Did this guy eat a barrel of explosives today?
Liu Hong was still used to the friendly yet distant conversation he had when he first met Si Nanbo.

"Hello, Lord Sinan!"

There was an unknown young censor who greeted Fan Jian foolishly.

Fan Jian's face, which was originally cold, became even colder, and he snorted.

"I'm not a monkey, call me Si Nan Bo."

I don't know where this habit came from.

He is clearly a first-class marquis, second only to a duke, but he likes people to call him Si Nan Bo.

To put it in a nicer way, the name sounds better.

Liu Hong shrank his neck and followed Fan Jian in silence.

No matter what Fan Jian said or what criticism he made, he would just bear it and think that Fan Jian had taken the wrong medicine today.

When he was about to reach the entrance of the main hall, Fan Jian glared at Liu Hong fiercely.

"You are so lucky, if Fan Xian hadn't wanted to go to Northern Qi, Ruoruo might not have agreed to this marriage."

Liu Hong suddenly felt dizzy. He thought that the marriage would be postponed for a long time, and even thought about Fan Ruoruo escaping the marriage with the help of Fan Xian.

But I didn’t expect Fan Ruoruo to agree so quickly.

Fan Jian was now even more dissatisfied with Liu Hong and lowered his voice.

"Also, I'm warning you! Hurry up and deal with the prostitutes you keep in your house, otherwise if Ruoruo is unhappy, I will never let you go."
