Chapter 130 Not an inch of land will be yielded, let me give you a kiss (1)
Just as Su Dingding was about to breathe a sigh of relief, another country stirred up trouble.
Moreover, several countries came together to make a big show of demanding benefits!
Now, their Qi Kingdom is like a big, tattered cake. It may not have much flavor, but it's huge!
Most importantly, the owner of this cake is super easy to talk to, but he's a total coward!
Su Dingding rushed back to the capital.
It was quite a challenge for the emperor to deal with envoys from several countries all by himself.
In the past, the emperor would have agreed to whatever they said.
But now, he dares not!
After listening to their requests to set up factories, schools, and various concessions in Qi Kingdom, etc.
The emperor didn't know how to answer; their imposing presence was too strong, their menacing gaze inspiring fear.
"Your Majesty, I hope you will sign this lease agreement."
"I can't sign it now, I can't make that decision." The Emperor spread his palms, helpless. "The envoys can stay and enjoy themselves for a few more days. We'll discuss it again when Grand Tutor Zhang returns."
"Your Majesty, are you refusing us? If so, war will bring untold suffering to the people. You must know our country's strength. Furthermore, all our demands are reasonable, and you have no reason to refuse."
"Your Majesty, it's only one million taels of gold. For the sake of good relations between our two countries, you wouldn't refuse, would you?"
……
The emperor was so annoyed by the noise that he had to pretend to be sick while clutching his stomach, and eventually he simply fainted.
The emperor fainted, and the negotiations were forced to end.
But after two days, the envoys became anxious and even started making outrageous statements.
They came here today making many unreasonable demands, just looking for an excuse to start a war.
Just as they were preparing to return to the alliance to start the war, Su Dingding returned!
The envoys from several countries never expected that their luxurious carriages would be stopped by a little old man riding a donkey!
Upon learning that he was Zhang Hongzhi, everyone sat down at the negotiating table again.
When the Emperor saw Su Dingding, he had a better understanding of the situation.
He sat there, his eyes fixed on her.
When I was bored, I counted the number of people and realized that I'm going to have a few more younger brothers.
To his surprise, Su Dingding killed them all while they were rambling on!
Right in front of him, one shot after another, accurate, steady, and ruthless!
"Big...Big Brother!"
The Emperor panicked. Why was he so irritable after just a stroll outside?
"Second brother, these people are all trying to take advantage of us, we can't let them live!" Su Dingding put the gun away.
The emperor nodded, but his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Brother, how do we explain this to their country?" the Emperor asked.
“Just say that several envoys have gone missing in our country, and I will personally go to their country to negotiate,” Su Dingding replied.
"Alright, alright then." The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the problem can be solved, how it is solved is not important.
"You've done quite well this year. Keep it up, and things will get better in the next few years." Su Dingding patted the Emperor on the shoulder to encourage him.
The emperor smiled ingratiatingly.
What he didn't know was that after these few years, he, as a puppet emperor, would lose his usefulness and be removed from the stage.
As an envoy, Su Dingding led his entourage on a journey through various countries.
Another year and a half passed, and Su Dingding's sworn brother group gradually expanded.
Moreover, they all have very distinguished statuses.
Those who obey will be spared for now; those who disobey will be killed immediately.
Gunfire, bullets, airplanes, and artillery meant nothing to her.
To save her life, kings and nobles from many countries sent people to protect her.
After all, if she dies, they all die with her.
After having a great time away from home, Su Dingding is back.
Although the emperor has somewhat restrained himself, he is still the same incompetent emperor.
Whether the people live in peace and prosperity is not important to him; what matters is whether he himself is happy.
When the emperor heard that Zhang Hongzhi had entered the palace, he panicked.
When Su Dingding entered his imperial study, the emperor was already reviewing memorials.
"Oh, Second Brother, are you studying hard?" Su Dingding knew he was just putting on an act.
"Brother, you're finally back!" The Emperor raised his head, revealing his swollen face.
Su Dingding was stunned. "Outrageous! How dare someone lay a hand on my second brother in this very palace!"
"Brother, stop joking. You've been forming sworn brotherhoods quite a bit lately, haven't you? I haven't seen a normal face in ages," the Emperor said, full of grievances.
Su Dingding laughed, it wasn't intentional punishment, but she didn't say it.
"My second brother has suffered."
"Brother, you've worked so hard for the country, what's a little hardship to you?" The Emperor flattered as he stood up, the memorial he had just reviewed falling to the ground, revealing...erotic pictures inside.
The emperor was terrified and plopped down on it.
He bet that Zhang Hongzhi was old and blind and couldn't see what it was at all.
Su Dingding looked helpless. How could a country not perish if it was handed over to such a person?
"Brother, would you like to sit down and rest for a while?" the Emperor asked, feigning ease.
"No need," Su Dingding said, standing opposite the Emperor with his hands behind his back. "Second brother, tell me about the important national affairs that have been happening recently."
The emperor dared not lift his buttocks, so he had to speak while seated.
During the time Su Dingding was away, whenever anything major happened, the Emperor would send someone to deliver a letter to him to report.
So there's nothing major to say. Over the past two years, the reform plans proposed by Su Dingding have been implemented one after another.
Military control in various regions was also being strengthened, which was a tremendous change for the emperor.
But for Su Dingding, that's far from enough!
"Brother," the Emperor suddenly remembered something important, "the third prince is ill, and it seems quite serious. He wants to return to his hometown to rest in peace."
“Grandma Li is a married daughter, like water spilled from a cup. She was born to belong to the King of Liu Kingdom, and she will die to belong to the King of Liu Kingdom. What is she doing coming back?” Su Dingding said.
The Emperor understood Su Dingding's implied meaning and immediately nodded, "Brother is right, let him die out there."
Su Dingding glanced at him. The external troubles were temporarily suppressed; it seemed it was time to deal with some internal problems.
A country cannot be without a ruler for a day, but what use is a ruler if he is not a wise one?
So, after Su Dingding left the palace, she began to ask Gangzi to find someone with the destiny of an emperor.
After a system search, Gangzi was matched with a person.
Su Dingding not only wanted to find a good ruler, but also several strategists and military advisors.
The Qi Kingdom at present is still usable after being patched up.
But it won't be long.
Su Dingding has limited energy, and considering the long term, she needs to find some talented people.
So Gangzi launched a nationwide search, while Su Dingding put them through rigorous testing!
Looking at the information and list that Gangzi gave her, Su Dingding decided to investigate them one by one.
a few days later.
Su Dingding then arrived in Licheng.
Sun Shuqun, 30 years old, comes from a fairly well-off family.
Being righteous means being arrogant and looking down on officials, considering them all corrupt.
Su Dingding had reviewed his past records and found them to be very good, but he needed more practice.
So she disguised herself as an old beggar and deliberately pretended to faint from hunger as she walked past Sun Shuqun.
Sun Shuqun hugged him, somewhat stunned, clearly not having reacted yet.
“Young Master…” Su Dingding began with difficulty, his cracked lips trembling.
Her original intention was to use the same trick again to ask for a kiss, but Sun Shuqun took out a piece of cake from somewhere and stuffed it into her mouth!
