Chapter 754 The Chess Player

Yizhou, Fuling

Zhao Yutan leaned against the window and looked into the distance, holding the floating catkins in her white hands, and her brows were slightly sad.

The steward of the other courtyard came to report, "Madam, Mr. Song and Mrs. Song are here. He came to return the book and give you a festival gift." The Double Ninth Festival is coming soon, and this Mr. Song is also a master of etiquette.

Song Shiyu? "Please let him in." Zhao Yutan said casually.

Song Shiyu was someone she met by chance after she came to Fuling.

In her premonition dream, Song Shiyu was a young official who could compete with Xie Zhan after he took control of the government.

But at this time, he was still a down-and-out scholar, so she didn't mind helping him.

She brought a lot of rare ancient books with her when she came to Fuling this time.

After the two sides got to know each other, he often came to borrow ancient books to read.

Just as her thoughts were flowing, Song Shiyu and his wife came in.

Mrs. Song found Xie Lin playing nearby, and after greeting Zhao Yutan, she walked towards Xie Lin.

"Sit down, how are you doing recently?" Zhao Yutan asked casually.

"Thank you for your concern, everything is fine."

The maid served them tea.

Song Shiyu stared at Zhao Yutan.

Because the achievements of Lu Songli, the governor of Pingzhou, were too dazzling, her life was also talked about with relish.

Especially Governor Lu's marriage, because of a fall into the water, the marriage was exchanged with a good friend, and the two eventually turned against each other.

The relationship between the four of them is known to the world.

The fate of the two has also become a topic of conversation.

Now one of them has become the governor of Pingzhou, who is high above, and is even likely to become a female ruler, while the other has become a widow.

The completely different endings make the world sigh.

He always thought that under the coercion of Pingzhou, the great governor Xie Zhan really died in the fire in the palace. The woman in front of him has become the widow of the great governor Xie Zhan.

But recently he found that he was very likely wrong.

Recently, something happened in Pingzhou and Nandi.

In Pingzhou, Pingzhou Governor Lu Songli issued Pingzhou bonds, and the noble families in the territory successively invested money in Liaodong Chamber of Commerce.

According to a secret message from his classmates, in Nandi, the commander of the Southern Expedition Army, General Xie Wei, set up a Royal Merchant Group.

In fact, the actions of both parties are similar in nature, both of which use the power in their hands to act.

If Lu Songli were here, he might give a more precise word, which is the right to issue currency.

It's just that Lu Songli, as the governor, can mobilize more human resources than Xie Wei, the leader of an army.

Then the question is, as the head of a state, Lu Songli's words are very effective.

Xie Wei is just a commander of the Southern Expedition Army, so it may not be the case, right?

There is no doubt that he must have painted a pie for the people below, and the people below are willing to believe that his pie can be realized.

But in addition to being profitable, and his future structure and goals can convince people, Song Shiyu thinks there must be other reasons for them to be willing to follow Xie Wei's command.

The rich people in Pingzhou are willing to listen to Lu Songli because of her identity.

So, is it possible that Liao Xuewang and others are willing to listen to Xie Wei because of their identity?

Because this identity must not only ensure that the pie he draws can come true, but also have deterrence. After all, if there is no deterrence, the people below will just pick the fruits directly.

The general in the south does not have such power. If he wants people to believe that he has it, his identity cannot be as simple as General Xie Wei.

Moreover, Xie Wei comes from the military and does not have the ability to turn stones into gold and strategize.

With this inference, isn't the identity of the southerner about to be revealed?

While chatting, Song Shiyu pretended to ask casually, "Mrs. Xie, have you seen the body of your husband, Governor Xie?"

When asking this, Song Shiyu's eyes were always paying attention to her reaction.

His words were both a hint and a test. After all, they had been married for many years, and Zhao Yutan should have known something about Xie Zhan's way of doing things.

Zhao Yutan was stunned and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

Song Shiyu replied, "Nothing, I just think it's a pity that Xie Zhan, the governor of Xie, died. Losing such a loyal minister is really a loss for Dali. I think this is what the emperor doesn't want to see. What do you think?"

Zhao Yutan understood that Song Shiyu hinted to her that Xie Zhan might not be dead.

In fact, Zhao Yutan didn't believe that Xie Zhan was dead at all. When the news of Xie Zhan's death came, she took her son back to Chang'an to attend the funeral and saw him for the last time. Because he died in a fire, he was completely unrecognizable in the coffin and was almost unrecognizable.

This is one of the doubts.

In addition, in her prophetic dream, Xie Zhan was the man who laughed last. Even if the trajectory of his fate in this life is very different, she doesn't believe that he died so easily.

Song Shiyu thought to herself, it seems that she has the answer in her heart.

Faced with a long silence, Zhao Yutan only hummed.

She had to respond to his question like this. Song Shiyu was indeed the one who replaced Xie Zhan in her precognitive dream. He was too smart and too sharp.

"Congratulations, Madam Xie. Admiral Xie should be here to pick you up soon."

"What did you say?" Zhao Yutan's voice suddenly rose.

Song Shiyu's eyes flashed, and he repeated what he had just said.

Xie Zhan hid his identity, and he must have a big plan.

In the Three States Free Trade Zone, polo matches are like oil boiling over a raging fire.

But after burning to the extreme, everything will eventually return to ashes.

Smart people can see that the final result of the polo match will definitely become a turning point in the relationship between the three parties.

The bet is too big, and it will be difficult to cash out.

Now that the emperor is in a coma, the government of Dali is controlled by aristocratic families and important ministers. There is no better time to seize power than at this moment.

Taking the world as a chess game, there are not many people in this world who can play chess.

Lu Songli and Governor Lu were one of them, Governor Xie Zhanxie was one of them, and the rest were eliminated in a short time.

After clarifying these, he seemed to have cleared away the fog and saw clearly the context of the development of the situation.

Song Shiyu suddenly became very excited.

He has been smart since he was a child, but his intelligence is due to Lu Songli's openness to books and knowledge after he came to power in Pingzhou. He has read a lot of books over the years and has improved a lot.

He felt that if Pingzhou had not opened up the printing of all kinds of books to the world, it would have taken at least five years for him to reach the level he is today.

"Why did you say that?" Zhao Yutan asked tremblingly.

Song Shiyu had a clear understanding in his heart, "This is just my speculation. Thank you for taking care of me these days. If you have any ideas, you'd better make plans early."

After saying this, Song Shiyu politely left.

After asking the steward of the other hospital to send Song Shiyu and his wife away, Zhao Yutan was very frightened.

She didn't know if Song Shiyu's guess was true. If it was true, how should she respond if Xie Zhan came to see her? After all, she can't leave Fuling yet.

At this time, Zhao Yutan looked anxious, and she was already inclined to believe Song Shiyu's inference.

But she didn't know how to deal with it. Even if she knew the problem in advance, she still wouldn't deal with it.

She was too ordinary among a bunch of smart people, so she suffered.
