Chapter 144 The Perfect Method
The original Great Wall was not part of the Tang Dynasty's territory and was commanded by the first generation of Great Wall Guards.
Ming Shiyin was the general of the first generation of the Great Wall Guards. He and Shen Mengxi's grandfather, Baili Shouyue, and the parents of the Xuan Ce brothers belonged to the first generation of the Guards.
Once, Ming Shiyin went out to resist the demons, and Baili Shouyao's father Baili Mao directly let the Tang cavalry pass, allowing the Tang army to occupy the Great Wall.
From then on, the Great Wall was incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
It was also because of that incident that the relationship between Ming Shiyin and Baili Mao and others completely broke down.
Seeing the Great Wall he had guarded for decades being occupied by the Tang Dynasty cavalry, Ming Shiyin was unwilling to accept this and sought death in Yucheng.
Later, he was resurrected by Emperor Jun and reappeared in the eyes of the world as the Peony Alchemist.
In order to retake the Great Wall from the Tang Dynasty, Ming Shiyin made painstaking plans for a hundred years.
The case of Li Xin's father deposing the crown prince for treason, as well as the Shangguan family implicated, Sikong Zhen's ancestors, Yixing's father, etc. were all planned by him alone.
The reason why he was against Ming Shiyin was simply because of their different positions.
Ming Shiyin was not a pure villain, he just wanted to take back the lost Great Wall. He and Wu Zetian were not necessarily good people either.
Moreover, Jiang Mingche never thought of himself as a good person.
He does everything at will and at his own whim.
In order to please Cai Wenji, he could spend tens of millions of taels of silver to distribute to the poor.
In order to obtain huge profits, he could use his status as regent to make a lot of money in the Tang Dynasty.
The Jiang family earns hundreds of millions of silver dollars every year, but it’s not just from these legitimate businesses.
There are countless dirty businesses going on behind the scenes, including assassinations, loan sharking, and brothels. As long as it is a business that can make money, the Jiang family will do it.
Wu Zetian naturally knew about these things, but due to her status, she couldn't say much.
In order to consolidate his throne in Yunhuang Kingdom, he could kill all of Cao Cao's family without leaving a single one alive.
He spared no troops that refused to surrender.
In order to win the hearts of the people, he can target the aristocratic families.
He slaughtered so many of the aristocratic families of the Yunhuang Kingdom that tens of millions of people died.
Frankly speaking, there is nothing wrong with these aristocratic families only wanting to protect their own interests.
But he was so domineering that anyone who did not obey the new policy would be killed without mercy.
"Really?"
After hearing Jiang Mingche's answer, Gongsun Li's face became very excited and he felt moved.
Although she expected that Jiang Mingche would agree as long as she asked, she didn't expect that the other party would agree so readily.
"Of course it's true. How could I have lied to you?"
Jiang Mingche pinched Gongsun Lishui's tender little face and said with some amusement.
"Wait for me here, I'll be back soon..."
Jiang Mingche stood up from his seat and left the room directly.
"it is good......"
Although Gongsun Li was a little confused, she still nodded obediently.
Jiang Mingche didn't leave for long and soon came back with a wooden basin filled with warm water.
"Husband, let A-li help you change your clothes..."
Seeing Jiang Mingche's behavior, Gongsun Li thought that Jiang Mingche was planning to take a rest. Her face flushed and she muttered something in a low voice.
He was about to get up from the bed, but was stopped by Jiang Mingche.
"You don't have to move..."
"Just let me do it..."
"Today your husband will wash your feet..."
Jiang Mingche said with a faint smile, placed the wooden basin at Gongsun Li's feet, then pulled over a small stool and sat down directly.
"what."
After hearing Jiang Mingche's words, Gongsun Li was stunned for a moment, a little confused, and almost thought he had heard it wrong.
Jiang Mingche wants to wash his feet?
How is this possible?
My husband is the regent, how can he wash the feet of a half-demon like me?
Gongsun Li instinctively wanted to reject Jiang Mingche directly.
"Husband, I'll do it myself..."
"My husband is worth a fortune, how can A-li let my husband wash my feet..."
"What's worth a ton of money?"
"Here, I am just your husband."
“Don’t feel any psychological pressure.”
Jiang Mingche said righteously, with a serious face, and directly rejected little Ali.
Without any further ado, he grabbed a section of little Ali's smooth, white calf and began to slowly take off the short boots that the bunny-eared girl was wearing.
Looking at Jiang Mingche's self-centered actions, Gongsun Li blushed with shame and lowered her head quietly.
The two tender, white and slender little hands unconsciously clenched together, feeling both shy and touched.
I'm afraid that no one has ever received this treatment except herself?
The truth was not much different from what she had imagined. It was Jiang Mingche's first time washing someone's feet.
Other men of this era might think washing their wives’ feet is a shameful thing, but Jiang Mingche doesn’t think it’s a big deal.
Washing his wife's feet seemed to him to be just an ordinary thing.
As long as the feelings are deep enough, these things don't matter at all.
He always seems out of tune with this traditional world where men are superior to women.
After taking off little Ali's short boots, Jiang Mingche then took off the little white socks that little Ali was wearing.
The white socks were taken off, revealing a pair of crystal clear, plump, delicate and small jade feet in front of Jiang Mingche.
The ten jade toes are round and cute, pink and tender, and very beautiful.
Gongsun Li's jade feet were only the size of a palm, which was more than enough for her to dance on Jiang Mingche's hands.
The toes are slightly curled up, as if to show the owner's shyness.
Seeing this, Jiang Mingche couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
By the way, he has never tried palm dancing or anything like that. He might as well ask the bunny-eared girl to try it one day.
"Husband, what are you looking at?"
Looking at Jiang Mingche who was in a daze, Gongsun Li suppressed her inner shyness and asked softly.
The little feet swayed in front of Jiang Mingche's eyes, as if trying to attract Jiang Mingche's attention.
"nothing....."
"I was just wondering, A-li, can you dance on your palms or something..."
After coming back to his senses, Jiang Mingche said with a faint smile.
After grabbing little Ali's fruit feet, he put them directly into the wooden barrel.
"Is it hot?"
While washing the bunny-eared girl's feet, Jiang Mingche looked up at Gongsun Li and asked.
“Not too hot or too cold, just the right water temperature…”
Gongsun Li shook her head and said with a sweet smile.
Jiang Mingche nodded, took some rose petals from the side and put them into the wooden barrel.
This kind of rose is blessed with special materials, and the fragrance is very strong but not choking.
He also knew that little Ali used these flower petals to wash his feet every night.
Therefore, little Ali's feet always smell like roses.
"Husband, do you want to see the palm dance?"
Looking at Jiang Mingche who was carefully washing her feet, Gongsun Li suddenly asked.
Although she had never tried it before, as the top dancer in Changlefang, she had indeed learned some of this kind of dance before.
"If I can, I would like to see it."
"Then when my husband has time, I will dance for him."
Gongsun Li smiled sweetly and said crisply.
"Have you ever learned dances like palm dancing before?"
While playing with and washing Gongsun Li's jade feet, Jiang Mingche looked up at her and asked in surprise.
He had just asked casually, but he didn't expect that the bunny-eared girl had actually practiced this kind of dance.
After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Mingche soon felt relieved.
After all, Ali was the top dancer in Changlefang and was famous throughout Chang'an City. She must have practiced this kind of dance specifically, but no one had ever seen it.
"Of course, these dances are a necessary course for dancers to learn."
Gongsun Li said with a smile, feeling the soles of her feet were a little itchy.
After washing little A-li's feet, Jiang Mingche took the foot washing water and left the room directly, sprinkled it on the open space in the courtyard, and then returned to the room.
Looking at little Ali wrapped in the quilt, looking shy and timid.
Jiang Mingche smiled secretly and walked directly towards Gongsun Li.
"Um...husband...why don't you turn off the lights..."
The next day, early morning.
After getting up from the bed, Jiang Mingche washed up, opened the door, and took a deep breath of fresh air, looking full of energy.
Stretching, Jiang Mingche walked straight towards the kitchen. Little Ali had just said that he wanted to drink the chicken soup he had stewed last time.
After arriving at the kitchen, Jiang Mingche asked the maid to prepare various ingredients for him, and then started to work.
Half an hour later, a pot of fragrant chicken soup was ready.
Jiang Mingche took the soup bowl and served a bowl to little Ali, then asked the maid to send the remaining chicken soup to his other women.
Little Ali has a small appetite and doesn’t eat much in the morning, so this bowl of chicken soup is more than enough for him.
What’s more, the chicken soup I stew myself doesn’t have that salty and greasy taste, and it’s just fine to drink in the morning.
When I returned to the room with the chicken soup, little Ali had already gotten up from the bed.
Seeing Jiang Mingche coming back with the chicken soup, her eyes lit up and she licked her lips with her pink little tongue.
She had drunk the chicken soup made by Jiang Mingche several times before, and she knew it was a good thing.
"You're awake, drink it while it's hot."
Jiang Mingche waved his hand, asked little A-li to sit next to him, and said with a faint smile.
"Hehe, thank you, husband."
After Gongsun Li came and sat down next to Jiang Mingche, she first gently kissed Jiang Mingche on the side of the face to express her inner gratitude, and then she picked up the soup bowl and drank the chicken soup in small sips.
Unlike Yunying, the naive little girl, little Ali was always slow and methodical in doing things and was very elegant when eating.
Jiang Mingche just looked at the other person quietly without saying a word.
"Husband, don't you want to eat???"
Unable to bear Jiang Mingche's gaze, Gongsun Li slowly raised his head.
Then he noticed that there was no soup bowl in front of Jiang Mingche, and asked with some confusion.
“I’m not hungry…”
Jiang Mingche smiled faintly and shook his head.
Ever since his last breakthrough to Diamond I, which put him infinitely close to Star Glory, his appetite had gradually faded.
Although I haven't completely gone through the fast, nothing will happen if I don't eat for three days and three nights.
"After you finish breakfast, let's go to the Heavenly Prison to see Ming Shiyin..."
After pondering for a while, Jiang Mingche spoke slowly.
Since he had promised little A-li to spare Ming Shiyin's life, he naturally would not go back on his word.
Ming Shiyin could be spared the death penalty, but he could not escape the punishment of life imprisonment.
He had already thought of a foolproof way that would both save Ming Shiyin from going to jail and make this guy behave himself.
"it is good."
After hearing Jiang Mingche's words, Gongsun Li was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Jiang Mingche to say this suddenly, and then he nodded.
