Jin Haiyan drove his horse around looking for prey, but was blocked by Helian Mingzhu and Song He who suddenly appeared, Helian Mingzhu looked at the group of people following Jin Haiyan, and said in a slightly disappointed tone: "Hey, thinking about being able to fight with Biao Brother played alone in the competition, I didn't expect my cousin to bring so many people."

The tone was full of disappointment and coquettishness of not being able to be with her brother as a younger sister, but Jin Haiyan's expression changed, and he turned to the soldiers following him and said: "You go hunting elsewhere, this king wants to be alone with my cousin .”

"Yes." The general leading a group of miscellaneous soldiers took the order and walked quickly.

As soon as the person left, Helian Mingzhu put away the harmless and cheerful smile just now, and a sly light flashed in her eyes.

Jin Haiyan came up to them on horseback: "Cousin, what do you want to say, now that there is no one around, you can say it boldly."

No matter where Helian Mingzhu went, Song He never left her side, it seemed that he was Helian Mingzhu's confidant.

"Cousin, don't worry, listen to me slowly. When I came to Anqing, Daliang organized a group of troops to enter the country with me, but it was only three days after I left that the army began to slowly go to Anqing. As long as I give the order, Daliang's army will arrive at the city gate of Anqing in less than four days, but this is to ensure that I can get out of Anqing completely. The worst thing to do is retreat, I won’t do it unless I have to, because it’s very difficult for me to escape in a real fight, and even if I send a message that day to ask Daliang to send troops, it will take eleven days at the earliest before the reinforcements arrive, too It's dangerous." Helian Mingzhu put on a distressed look, "But these troubles were all solved when I saw my cousin. After my observation, Anqing and Daliang may have a battle. But soldiers never tire of deceit, let alone I am still a little girl, I would like to ask my cousin to take this opportunity of hunting to do my cousin a favor, okay?"

Jin Haiyan, who heard what Helian Mingzhu said, was amazed, the enemy army was already lurking so close, and the soldiers guarding the border didn't even know it?What a dereliction of duty!This group of idiots raised by Anqing for nothing!

Holding the reins tightly with both hands, Jin Haiyan tried his best to restrain the turbulent emotions in his heart, and asked, "What's the matter? If my cousin can do it, my cousin will never shirk."

"Of course cousin can do it, it depends on whether cousin is willing or not." Helian Mingzhu grinned flamboyantly, "Since this hunt is to show off the country's prestige, it won't just return to the palace in a few days , During these days, can my cousin kill the emperor of Anqing?"

"What!" Jin Haiyan finally couldn't help shouting, "You asked me to kill my father?! You are crazy! He is my father!" Jin Haiyan couldn't imagine that Helian Mingzhu said so casually He said it casually, as if it was a commonplace.

"So what?" The corners of Helian Mingzhu's raised mouth sank, "If Daliang hadn't lent Jin Mingzuo his troops back then, would he have easily conquered Wei and would have bitten Emperor An (posthumous title of the first emperor) back then? The land promised to Daliang was not given at the beginning, and the tribute promised to Daliang every year has become less and less and more perfunctory. A year ago, he simply refused to give it. Is Jin Mingzuo too complacent? Besides, he Although he became the emperor, he did not delegate any of the rights and troops that should be delegated. He would rather give half of the soldiers of the Northern and Southern Army to outsiders than to his own son. Although your Jin family stole the throne from others, But at any rate, he inherited Anqing in a legitimate way. It stands to reason that the prince will move out of the palace to live in a fief and mansion outside the palace when he becomes an adult. But look at your good father, has he granted you a fief? He has given you a fief Are you afraid that you are still living in the palace, right? Think about your future carefully. If you leave the backing of Daliang, you will be nothing in the palace. butchered."

What she said left no room for Jin Haiyan to retaliate. She was right. Jin Mingzuo held all the power in his own hands, and would rather hand over the military power to outsiders than to his own sons.His current status may not be as good as Jin Yuchen, the useless son from the clan's mansion. Jin Yuchen has a fief and a house, although he may be full of eyeliners and has no real power, but he has a fief anyway. No matter how much eyeliner is placed, it is impossible to make it watertight.

"What do you want me to do? What can I get?" Jin Haiyan thought that Anqing might not be able to protect himself anyway. Looking at the current situation, his own benefit is the most important thing. "You have to guarantee me and me Mother and concubine's safety."

"The things you can get are huge!" Helian Mingzhu smiled coquettishly, "For example, Anqing's throne, how about you come and sit?"

Jin Haiyan didn't speak, he couldn't answer, and he didn't dare to answer, it's better not to answer this kind of question.He could only look up at her straight up.

Considering his worries, Helian Mingzhu smiled again: "Don't make such a strange expression, how could the people of Anqing accept Daliang people as their masters so easily, when there will be wave after wave of uprisings, we will But you can’t afford it. If you want to control Anqing, you can help a puppet emperor to go up? Cousin, this deal is all for your benefit, don’t you really have a heart? You want to sit on the ninety-five supreme position, or die under the sword of other princes? Cousin, you have no way out."

The last sentence hangs heavily on Jin Haiyan's heart, and layers of sweat break out on Jin Haiyan's forehead. He is short of breath, killing his father and seizing the throne. No matter how you look at these words, it makes people feel frightened and excited, and the blood in his body is burning uneasily. , His teeth were chattering, and he finally spit out a word: "Okay."

"What?" Helian Mingzhu asked as if deliberately pretending not to hear clearly.

"I said, it's a deal. If I kill that person, you will support me as the emperor." Jin Haiyan finished speaking through gritted teeth.

"Very good," Helian Mingzhu nodded in satisfaction, "It's really wise for my cousin to have such an awareness. If you want to do big things, you have to be as bold as your cousin."

As night fell, all the people who went out came back at the same time. Of course, the number of prey in their hands was different.

Only Jin Yuchen came back on his horse, wet all over, and gave the fish he caught to the servants who came to receive him. With an embarrassed smile on his face, he said to Jin Mingzuo who had returned with a full load: "Father , my son only hunted those who swim in the water."

The courtiers around saw that Jin Yuchen's appearance was very untidy, and they chattered in private, anyway, they wouldn't say it in a good way, which was exactly what Jin Yuchen wanted. Concealing some worries, he smiled lightly and said that he was fine, and then he heard Jin Mingzuo's tone of resentment: "Do you have to jump into the river by yourself to catch fish? A dignified prince made it like this, throwing it away Not ashamed?"

Jin Yuchen lowered his head and arched his hands and replied: "My son is not good at archery. If the prey he hunted back is not as much as the others, and there is such a big gap, the minister there will lose face. If not, then You can avoid these embarrassments by only catching fish that no one else can catch.”

"You will use these crooked brains. If you lose, you will lose. If a man loses, he must be aboveboard. You are too petty to do this." Jin Mingzuo still felt that Jin Yuchen did not do it properly, so many people watched Well, he has abandoned this person in public, and he is not afraid of losing his demeanor in the eyes of others, and there will be no ministers on his side.

"Yes, I would like to obey my father's instructions." Jin Yuchen knelt on the ground, his tone was indescribably restrained.

Jin Mingzuo saw his obedient appearance, and felt an inexplicable dislike and dissatisfaction in his heart, he waved his hand: "Hurry up and change into your clothes in the tent, how decent is this?"

"Yes, my son will go right away." Jin Yuchen kowtowed, got up and went to his tent.

But Jin Yuchen, taking advantage of Jin Mingzuo not paying attention to his skills, stopped the cook who was handling the prey and said: "When you can cook fish, remember not to overcook the meat, make it tender, and cut it into pieces after cooking. Fish fillets of suitable size, pick out the thorns inside, and serve with a cup of clear soup. This bowl has these requirements. After it is done, send it to the position of Princess Anhe. Don't leave it for too long before serving it out. It will cool her down. I don't like it either."

"Yes, my lord." The cook respectfully said.

Jin Yuchen smiled gently: "Do well, and you will be rewarded later."

"Thank you, Lord."

Jin Yuchen didn't come out for a long time, and no one asked him to come out for dinner. Shen Qing didn't look at the dishes on his table that were different from others'. He also served a cup of clear soup, and even took the trouble to cut it into pieces. She picked out the thorns inside, thinking that the person in charge of cooking was so attentive this time, she paid more attention to the empty place of Jin Yuchen who had never returned.

The dinner was held in the open air, and all civil and military officials sat in two rows according to their official positions. Most of the dinners were brought by Jin Mingzuo. Of course, the competition had to be won by Jin Mingzuo. Jin Xuefan controlled it very well. Not too perfunctory, but Jin Haiyan was a little perfunctory, and he was always depressed and preoccupied during dinner.

This time when Jin Mingzuo came back, Gao Hu, the fourth-rank general who followed him, seemed to have a good chat with Jin Mingzuo. Jin Mingzuo laughed again and again, and even rewarded Gao Hu with several glasses of wine.

"I admire your majesty's skill. I shot a deer that you couldn't hit with five arrows. Your majesty hit it with one arrow. Your majesty is very good at archery." Gao Hu saw that the emperor had always been kind to him, and thought he could use this to please him. Jin Mingzuo added an official to himself.

"This archery still needs years of training to achieve perfect accuracy. Gao Aiqing is too young, so it is understandable." Jin Mingzuo was very useful and chatted with him very happily.

"The emperor is too modest. I'm afraid it's not because I didn't work hard enough, but because I don't have the talent and talent of the emperor. No matter how hard I practice, I can barely hunt some clumsy wild animals." Naruto's flattery.

Fu Shiguo drank the wine in his glass, and said to Fu Bai beside him: "That Gao Hu's words are full of vulgar flattery, the emperor cannot fail to hear it, it seems that he has found a pawn to replace you , you should be more cautious these few days, the emperor will definitely have many things happen out of nothing."

Fu Bai took a deep breath: "I was dissatisfied with taking such an important position because I was too young. Sometimes I feel that I will feel more at ease when I slowly climb up from the bottom."

Fu Shiguo didn't refute, but picked up his own small wine and drank it again. The bonfire in the center was burning brightly, and the flames shot up to the sky, and everyone's faces looked so happy and harmonious.

Jin Yuchen wrapped his legs tightly, but he still felt cold. It was autumn, and the water was so cold. After soaking in the water for a day, the old disease on his legs broke out. The pain made his lips pale and pale, and he sweated coldly. Straight up.

Pei Yuanjin walked outside his tent, looked at the moon in the sky, and tried to sound concerned: "Come out and have dinner."

Jin Yuchen bit his arm hard to relieve the pain in his leg: "I'm not hungry."

"Then you have to come out and show your face, Shen Qing, don't keep looking at your seat during dinner, she will probably come out to look for you later."

"She won't look for me, you go back, I'm fine." Shen Qingbie must feel a little uncomfortable now, and doesn't want to see herself.

"That's not necessarily true." Pei Yuanjin said goodbye to Shen Qing, who had already met him face to face, and said to the people in the tent.
