All your life is gentle

The subordinates retreated in unison.Chang Sheng suddenly said: "Qin Xi stay here." Before Ning Qing came in, he explained, "Help me watch, this woman might do something."

So, when Ning Qing said a few words, and suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed her in the chest, Qin Xi cut it off, thinking: Your Highness really knows things like a god.

Ning Qing burst into tears like rain: "My family is stupid, I was mistaken, and I have no face to see Your Highness again... Fortunately, Your Highness is blessed with good fortune and good fortune, and my family has no regrets in dying. However, my family has a pure heart, and I absolutely can't." Being humiliated by others. Whether His Highness believes it or not, you must confess to His Highness in person what you say, and make atonement with death, willingly..."

Chang Sheng sighed: "Ning Qing, this matter has nothing to do with you. It's our brothers who can't help you."

I thought to myself, this woman is really smart, decisive, and daring to go all out.After this incident, the two of them were afraid that they might find an excuse to take her life at some point, otherwise it would be a romantic affair if they died here.

Think about it, even if the falling flowers are intentional and the flowing water is unintentional, the flowers are blown down by a gust of wind by themselves, so we must deal with the aftermath anyway.So he said: "As you know, I have never stayed in Beijing for a long time. Now... I can't stay anymore."

She raised her eyes and saw Ningqing Maimai looking at herself with affection and concern, and she simply said clearly: "Actually...you don't have to be like this. If I don't believe it, no one will stop you on the night of Huachao Festival. I took the opportunity to solve it underwater. ——You didn’t die that day, and you won’t die today. After all, this matter has nothing to do with you, do you understand?”

Pause for a while to give her time to digest, and then said: "In those days, I can count where you have been and who you have met. Otherwise, do you think that even if you die here today, why should I believe it? you?"

Ning Qing stared blankly at the second prince and forgot to answer.The other party only spoke a few words, but the information revealed was frightening.In the past month or so, apart from worrying and worrying, I have speculated and weighed several times, and it's not that I haven't guessed in this direction.However, I was there at the time of the incident, and I witnessed the danger and danger with my own eyes. Could it be... Thinking of the erratic chess moves of the highness in front of me, and listening to his gentle tone, I felt chills all over my body, and my fingers were cold.

Changsheng kept talking for half a day, a little tired, he covered his chest and coughed lightly.And by Ning Qing, he stood there in a daze, took the medicine cup handed over by Qin Xi, took two sips slowly, and leaned against the bedside to adjust his breath silently.

Get back to your senses.She was originally a woman with a keen mind, and when she connected many details, coupled with all kinds of rumors from the government and the public, she suddenly felt relieved: this person has such good looks, wisdom and status, but in terms of life, she is not much luckier than herself, a firework woman. Really sigh.There is a slight error in this move to die and live later, I am afraid that it will be a situation where there is no place to die.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard the other party say: "Although it was a last resort, you were involved after all. How about it—"

Changsheng is very sincere: "If the girl doesn't dislike it, there are hundreds of maidservants in my house, and I just need a housekeeper lady. When the girl has a place to go, or finds a lover, just let me know. But this matter, I Definitely leave the capital, I'm afraid I will have to wrong the young lady to stay in the mansion and not go out, so as to avoid accidents..."

Nong Qing thought: Heh, benevolent and ruthless... still make people willing.The heart is infinitely bleak, but full of gratitude.

I bowed to Changsheng: "Your Highness is a kind and generous gentleman, and my family is endlessly grateful. It's just...doing everything I can for my beloved, and I will stick to what I wish in my life. If I don't have a beloved, it's still lively and comfortable in the eyeball alley."

Changsheng was in awe: "The girl is indeed a hero among women, which is admirable. But after this incident, it is a bit inappropriate for the girl to continue to stay in Xiangxue Tower..."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I was stupid for the first time, and I will continue to be stupid. Today, my family visited His Highness, and no one else knows. After a long time, there are still some ways to protect ourselves." After all, he gritted his silver teeth secretly with hatred. , and sent out a harsh word softly, "Your Highness is not a good man, so why do you care where it goes?"

Changsheng was not angry, and said lightly: "Since that's the case, that's all." He closed his eyes.

Ning Qing said goodbye, retreated to the door, and turned around to peek at the man again.With a sudden twitch in my heart, I blurted out: "Is there anything your Highness can do to clear things up? Maybe you can do your best..."

Changsheng opened his eyes, shook his head and smiled: "Why bother? I told you earlier that your game is here and mine is elsewhere. Why do you have to squeeze in? This time is just a coincidence. In the future—— Let's go our own way." I thought: Such a powerful woman, it is so troublesome to deal with once provoked, if I really want to use her, I will find opportunities to cry and make trouble from time to time, and there will be endless troubles.

As soon as the guests left, Fu Gan, the personal guard, brought in a man to ask to see Chang Sheng.He was a young man from Xirong who was sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed as a servant.

"Your Highness, this is the youngest child of my aunt's family, named Zhi Chao."

Only Zhi people have the surname Zhi.Among the various tribes of Xirong, the Rong tribe with the surname Fu is the most powerful, including several surnames such as Fu, Ben, and Shan.Fu Yang's unification war first conquered all the tribes in the clan, and then defeated the Di clan, which was second only to the Rong clan in power.Due to the situation, other ethnic groups bowed their heads and surrendered.Only the few tribes with a relatively small number of people stubbornly and desperately resisted to the end.In the end, the whole family was reduced to slaves, and was given to his ministers by Fu Yang.

Fu Gan's aunt married a Zhi tribe and became a slave.

"My aunt's family is currently working at Secretary Ling Mo's residence."

It turned out to be a messenger sent by Mr. Mo.Changsheng nodded.Fu Gan left behind Zhi Chao, and withdrew with the other servants.

The second prince fell into the water and was assassinated, seriously injured and dying, and the capital was shaken.After waking up, there was an endless stream of people from the palace sending people to greet him, and people visiting the door in person.On the surface, Secretary Ling has already sent a housekeeper to visit.As for secret direct communication, since the tacit understanding was reached back then, it has rarely happened so far.Both sides are human beings, with slightly raised eyebrows and lowered eyes, you can tell the seriousness, calmly, singing in harmony with each other from a distance.Changsheng knew that when the child came to the door today, he would definitely bring important news.

"Get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhi Chao kowtowed and stood up neatly.With an identity like his, he was a pure domestic slave and had an extremely low status, just like the Xia people who were taken into the lieutenant general's mansion after being captured.

Changsheng saw that he was advancing and retreating steadily, and asked casually, "How old are you?"

"Return to Your Highness, Xiao Nu just turned sixteen last month."

"What are you doing with Mr. Mo?"

"Little slave grinds ink for the master, and studies with the master."

"Oh? How long has it been?"

"It's been almost two years."

"Is Mr. fierce?"

"..."

"Don't dare to say?"

"If you don't memorize well, the master will hit the palm of your hand with the board."

After a few sentences, Chang Sheng discovered that Zhi Zhuan was simple-minded and had read a lot of books.It turned out that Mo Siyu had gradually become free in the past two years, and seeing the hundreds of servants rewarded by the emperor in the mansion was rather boring, so he gathered boys under the age of 15 to read and read, opened private schools at home, and had a good time.However, these children who grew up on horseback couldn't stand his cramming education in nine out of ten, not to mention the effect, and they even made themselves angry and thirsty.

As the saying goes, "Old and young, old and young", Lao Mo is also a man in his sixties, and he is really fighting against a bunch of reckless children, insisting on asking them to behave in the way of sages and sages, and be a modest gentleman.After all this tossing, he actually managed to find a few good seedlings, who were accepted as disciples and schoolboys.There were two older ones who entered the country quickly. They reported to the emperor, got rid of their slave status, and were directly recommended to Shang Shuling Fu Qian, who were sent to the Yamen to work as an intern.

Knowledge alters your fate.Seeing the real benefits, the number of domestic slaves who are willing to study has increased significantly.Fu Yang's old hatred for the Zhi family has not disappeared. Although Zhi Chao's level is not bad, it is impossible for him to leave his family and enter politics.Old Mo Xi he was honest and smart, so he simply stayed by his side as a long-term follower.

"What did sir ask you to come for?"

"Xiao Nu came to see big brother, and mother wants to ask him when he will return to Meili, and has something to bring to auntie. By the way, I will send a few words to His Highness for sir." Zhi Chao quietly glanced at Chang Sheng, and said, "Mr. , other than His Highness, when others ask, they just say to see big brother."

Changsheng laughed. 16 years old.Also 16 years old.Why are some people so naive and frank, and some people are so cunning and weird... and thought again: When will the asking Fugan come back to Meili?It seems that this matter has to be taken to heart, and told them to find time to pick up all the family members...

"Your Highness!" Zhi Chao was a little dissatisfied.Even the emperor would not underestimate the words of Mr.The Second Highness actually lost his mind when he was about to convey the message, it should not be.Zheng Rong said: "Your Highness, sir, it is very important."

Huh?This kid was quite courageous in a daze.Changsheng lowered his eyes: "Listen carefully."

Zhi Chao has learned this allusion and is satisfied.He whispered: "Sir, if the emperor asks His Highness to manage the Northeast, what will His Highness plan?"

Running the Northeast... Changsheng supported the edge of the bed.It turned out that the emperor thought so.I have been squatting in the position of Tuntian Food Superintendent for two years, and the results have been outstanding.It's just that food has to be planted every year, but the food supervisor can't do it anymore.The purpose of this bitter plan is to break the current deadlock and win a turning point.However, which way the turning point will turn depends entirely on what the emperor thinks.Discuss with Zhuang Lingchen and others first, and there are only two possible outcomes: either stay in Beijing and enter the court, or lead the troops abroad——

It turned out that my father wanted to send me to the northeast.Although I knew it was possible, I still felt a slight loss in my heart.Mr. Mo sent the inside information in advance to prepare himself psychologically and deal with it seriously.After thinking about it for a while, I thought about it: nothing, take a step back and see the sea and the sky.It's like the difference between a bowstring and a sharp arrow and a close-up sword, maybe the one with a long distance is more effective.

Immediately said: "If I manage the Northeast, it will take a year at least, or two years at most, and I will turn to the Southwest."

"The master said that the speed of the soldiers is the most important."

"That's one year."

"The master also said that to manage the Northeast, we must go to the Northeast."

Changsheng pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Thank you, sir, for your suggestion."

"Your Highness, do you have any words for Xiao Nu to bring to Mr.?"

"Well... Tell me, see if you can start early and open the road from Yongzhou to the southwest. Also, the families of the many soldiers who stayed in Meili should also be free to take care of them... Sigh , your husband probably already thought of these things, and I'm just talking nonsense..."

When Zhi Chao left, it was time to apply for a license.

When Jiang Qingchi came in, the Second Highness looked haggard and tired, and barely answered a few words before he could barely breathe.

"Why is your Highness sick again? You slaves, do you really know how to serve others?"

Like most well-educated professionals, Tai Physician Jiang has a bad attitude towards ordinary people except for his parents.Although the Second Highness's injuries were severe, his body was solid and he was almost fully recovered.The sequelae are not without, but Doctor Jiang believes that under his rejuvenating hands, it will be completely eradicated within two months.

Now the most troublesome thing is heart disease.Hearing the report from the servants, His Highness looked like a normal person during the day, but always had nightmares at night.After the palpitations, he must suffer from insomnia all night—how could he recover so quickly?He just smashed someone Jiang's brand...Of course he didn't know that the second prince used the excuse of insomnia to ponder the conspiracy and tricks for a while, and miss his lover from afar.If it weren't for not daring to heal too quickly, there would be not enough time to meditate and practice kung fu.

Several maids tremblingly replied to the imperial physician: "This morning, the servant who delivered the water accidentally knocked over the washbasin..."

Jiang Qingchi jumped up and was about to curse.Remembering that he was in front of His Highness, his face flushed red, and he said to Chang Sheng angrily: "Your Highness, these clumsy slaves are too useless, why don't I ask the emperor for instructions, and send two medical boys from the Imperial Hospital to serve you."

Changsheng leaned slightly on the bed: "That's fine. I'm so thankful, Mr. Jiang." His thoughts diverged: I didn't expect that the trick of heart disease is infinitely useful. Probably can be counted as "the one who loses but gains", right? ...

In May of the fourth year of Yongqian, the second prince, Fu Sheng, recovered from his illness and entered the palace to pay his respects to his father.He also visited the civil and military officials of the royal relatives and relatives who had given gifts to the door one by one during the recovery period.By the way, I quietly met with General Fu Ao, who had been promoted to the leader of Qianhu, to talk about the old days.

At the end of May, the emperor successively issued a series of imperial edicts:

The eldest prince was appointed as the crown prince and given a marriage.The crown princess is the eldest daughter of Panlu, the late general of Wanhu Mansion.The surname Pan is the largest tribe of the Di tribe.Unfortunately, Panlu died in battle, leaving behind an only daughter.

The second prince, Fu Sheng, was granted the title of King of Jingbei and general of Jiawei State in Wanhufu.

The third prince, Fuliu, was granted the title of King Pingzheng, and he was still the commander in front of the palace.

Other civil and military officials are rewarded for their merits and promoted according to their ranks.Only the inner government ordered Ben Ying to move to Dr. Zongzheng, and temporarily returned to the old capital of Meili to be the chief executive, responsible for the resettlement of military members and other left-behind personnel, taking care of the elders in the clan who did not want to move, guarding the ancestral temple and ancestral graves, etc.Shang Shuling Fu Qian was transferred to be the Inner Palace Order—and the seat of Shang Shuling was given to a Xia man, Huang Fusong.

From the very beginning, the Xirong official system imitated Jinxia.Fu Yang basically said that "the government will be set up when the official comes to use", and any departments will be added if there is a shortage.After entering the customs, the original institutional settings were immediately overwhelmed and overwhelmed, and the establishment has been increasing almost non-stop over the years.As for the local officials of the Xia people, those who refused to surrender were killed, and those who were willing to surrender were employed, and a Xirong army was sent to garrison the place, with a high rate.With the expansion of the territory year by year and the increasingly busy government affairs, the proportion of Xia people officials in the central government is also increasing, but the general rank is lower.

Huangfusong used to be the prefect of Lu County in Liangzhou, Jinxia. He was one of the first local high-ranking officials who surrendered to Xirong to serve Fu Yang.However, his ability to become the second civil servant from the Xia Dynasty to enter the highest decision-making level of the Huarong court after Secretary Ling Mo Siyu was also the result of the combination of the right time, place and people.

In Fu Yang's heart, he wished that Fu Qian could continue working.However, talent is limited, power is not enough, and there is nothing to do.Since the beginning of summer alone, there have been hundreds of important event papers submitted to the imperial court, and there may be more than ten times the number waiting for approval in Shangshu Province.Troubles come and go one after another: the local defenders clashed with the bureaucrats and sued each other; Some people stole and sold grain seeds, causing civil uprisings; a large group of scholars in the three southeastern states clamored for the imperial court to reopen the imperial examination every day; from the central government to the local government, all the yamen were crying to the emperor for money, as if they would not be able to open the pot tomorrow...

This one is not over yet, and that one is about to get out of hand.Fu Yang sighed: Sitting in the palace and reading memorials every day is much more tiring than riding a horse to fight the world in the past.Fortunately, he has always been decisive, coupled with Lao Mo's resourcefulness, the combination of monarch and minister can still deal with it.It's a pity that Fu Qian, the minister, is not capable of overall planning, and the various functional departments are out of touch.Lao Mo insisted on refusing to step over and take over. Fu Yang was in a state of distress, thought over and over again, chose left and right, and dragged on until he could no longer delay. Finally, he took the opportunity of being crowned prince and king, and replaced himself with more capable people to help.

If you are busy, you have to move forward according to the scheduled pace.

In June, the crown prince got married.

In July, when the rice was ripe, the crown prince led 30 cavalry, and there were also several loyal and brave troops, the total number of which was said to be [-]. They went straight to Fenglan Pass.At the same time, King Jingbei led [-] cavalry and [-] loyal troops to Zhuozhou to attack Yantai Pass.

——At this point, the Huarong Empire's final journey to unify the Great Xia officially kicked off.

One day in July, King Jingbei's Beizheng army was stationed in Fuchuan, an important town in the central part of Yuzhou.

Fuchuan is one of the key grain depots operated by Changsheng. There are four Changping warehouses with a storage capacity of [-] shi.Since it was built, only going in and out, these warehouses are now full.Shan Qi and Yue Zheng, who were in charge of the field supervision and grain affairs, had already arrived ahead of schedule and waited for the Second Highness.

That night, King Jingbei's camp was lit up all night.

Chang Sheng first convened a pre-war preparatory meeting with generals at all levels under his command, arranged for the dispatch of food and fodder, discussed the marching route, and announced several personnel orders.Shan Qi, the leader of thousands of households, joined the Northern Expedition Army with a 5000-man grain supervising team. General Shan was appointed as the right vanguard, and the grain supervising team was led by two hundred household wings.The food supervision team is small in number, but its composition is quite complicated.Not to mention Rong Xia's mixed compilation, he also mixed in some soldiers selected from the captives in the field.Although the other troops found it strange, the Food Superintendent Army was controlled by the second prince and was relatively independent, so they just watched with a cool attitude.

The [-] Northern Expedition Cavalry was originally a team of Fu Zhong from the Wanhu Mansion, and they have been stationed in various places in Yongzhou.Fu Yang counted more than a dozen generals under his command, and finally adopted Mo Siyu's suggestion and assigned Fu Zhong to the second child.

First work hard to do some ideological work: please Lao Mo describe how Zhuozhou is incomparably rich under the management of Huang Yongshen's big money fan for many years; Fu Zhong is loyal, the boundary of Zhuozhou is equal to one person under ten thousand people...

Fu Zhong understood: the three princes were in a quarrel, and His Majesty was unwilling to deal with any of them, so he had to separate them, out of sight and out of sight.Despite the long distance to the northeast, with the above benefits, it is still very tempting.To be honest, although Yongzhou is of great political and military significance, it is really not a good place to start.I acted as a barrier for Gyeonggi, only to realize that the famine was raging at the beginning, and there were yellow sand and bones everywhere.As for the two neighbors, Yuzhou and Shuzhou, one is a brother in distress, and the other has cut off contact, there is no room for trouble at all, and life is very difficult.Now that the overall situation of the world has been decided, the opportunity in front of him is especially rare, so he nodded and agreed.

Suddenly reduced to deputy, somewhat unaccustomed.But since I chose it myself, there was no way out, so I had no choice but to admit it.In fact, the Second Highness was considered very polite, and would explain everything in advance, which was very face-saving, at least, it was much more comfortable than being around the other two Highnesses.

The military preparatory meeting was over, and the second prince's confidantes gathered together to continue to hold the confidential staff meeting.

Everyone had a farewell party for Yue Zheng and Qin Xi first.

Chang Sheng filled up the wine and brought it to them both with his own hands.

Zhuang Lingchen delivered a speech for His Royal Highness at the side: "Brother Yue has the most troublesome thing to do. Now that the farmland is handed over to the Land Division of the Ministry of Industry, Brother Yue is a military officer and cannot continue to take care of it in a legitimate way. If you find a way to transfer to the court, There is no reliable person to watch over the tens of thousands of food supervisors, and I am afraid that something will happen..."

"It doesn't matter. The gentlemen sent by the Yingtian Division are so happy that some people work for nothing, so they just go through the motions. I have the final say. On the side of the grain superintendent, the newly appointed people can also use their strength..." Yue Zheng Still real.

Changsheng said: "Those who are able work harder, and those who work can do more. Captain Yue has worked hard."——After more than two years of hard work, the original captain has been promoted to captain.

Ni Jian continued: "Your Highness sounds like he is urging me?"

Chang Sheng praised: "Lieutenant Ni is more humble."

The school lieutenant belongs to the rank of the loyal and brave army, and Ni Jian can't use this title in his spare time.Hearing His Highness making fun of himself, he cupped his hands and responded, "Where is that."

Zhuang Lingchen beat the side drum: "Know yourself and then improve yourself. Brother Ni is in a good state, and Zhuang looks like a good man when he sees a good man."

Yue Zheng suppressed a smile: "Being close to Zhu Zhechi, it's His Highness who teaches well, and also works with such virtuous men as Brother Zhuang and Brother Qin. I haven't seen Ni Jian for more than half a year, and I really admire him."

Shan Qi and Yue Zheng have shared joys and sorrows for more than a year, and they have long been familiar with trust, so they frowned and said: "Your Highness, I can't understand Yue Zheng and the others talking like this."

"I don't understand either." Ni Jian shook his head.While speaking, he moved to Shan Qi's side to show that the barriers are clear.Several backbones of the pro-guards and the food supervision team immediately moved their positions firmly, and for a while there was a confrontation between the two camps.

Changsheng glanced around, and just saw Qin Xi next to him pretending to be embarrassed, and laughed out loud.Unexpectedly, it affected the wound, bent down and coughed.

"Why is Your Highness still not well? Which bastard did the good thing?" Shan Qi asked Ni Jian, "How did you become the captain of the personal guard? So many people watched His Highness being plotted against..." In Shan The general's entire history of protecting the personal safety of His Highness the Second Highness has all failed records, which is a great shame and shame in his life.I have no choice but to transfer this important task to others, and I can't let it go.His Highness was seriously injured in the attack, as if he had neglected his duty.If it wasn't for Chang Sheng personally passing on the message, he would have led the troops back to Beijing to protect His Highness comprehensively.

Changsheng waved his hand: "It's okay. I was afraid that the imperial physician would find out the details, so I never dared to use my kung fu. You don't know your majesty's eyesight? If you don't spend a little money to pretend to be pitiful, how can the old man assign so many people to us in one go? Besides, I was in a hurry to see you, and I was in a hurry..." Seeing that Shan Qi looked puzzled, he said to Zhuang Lingchen, "Tell them about this carefully." He sat down and closed his eyes to rest.

——It's time to confess to Shan Qi.There are too few talents of the Xirong tribe that I can rely on. If I don't focus on management, the long-term situation will be worrying.After this incident, General Shan should be able to see the direction.Very relieved to let a few subordinates exchange information, they couldn't help but start to lose their minds.

Remembering to bid farewell to my father before departure——

The emperor personally sent King Jingbei to the outskirts of Beijing, offering sacrifices to divination, blessings and a farewell party. The ceremony was grand and grand, even more so than the crown prince's conquest of Shu.The ministers who didn't know it only felt that His Majesty loved the second prince very much, but the few who saw the inside story knew that King Jingbei might be gone this time and never return.The scene where the father and son bid farewell in front of them may become a forever farewell.However, no matter what, the emperor finally made the most wise decision amidst hesitation.

Changsheng knelt down on both knees, kowtowed, and looked up at his father.It's not that the person in front of him doesn't love him.However, this love is nothing more than that: you have to weigh it up and down, consider it over and over again, and you have to reserve a back hand and be on guard secretly.I'm dead, he's sad, I'm alive, he's upset... On the other hand, what should I do with my son?Which of the father's trade-offs and precautions is superfluous?I sneered in my heart: what a father and son look alike!Suddenly remembered that Li Zishi seemed to have told a story about filial piety in the past.According to the sage, I should leave silently, let them feel at ease, and preserve the reputation of my father and brother...

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a dull pain in my chest.

I remember at that time, he raised his eyebrows and snorted: "If you kill human feelings with human relations, you will inevitably destroy your conscience because of morality. It's not human at all..."

However, today I made a different choice from the one in the story, only to find that the situation I am facing is even more embarrassing.

"Kill human feelings with human relations, and kill conscience with morality."

Adhere to the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, seek the way of people's livelihood, cut off the relationship between father and son, and cut off the righteousness of brothers.

The real test came at last.I thought I was ready, but I didn't practice enough.When it comes to the moment when brothers fight against each other, father and son turn against each other, no matter how grand and legitimate the ultimate goal is, how should I face it?Even if I can guarantee that I will not be soft-hearted or shaken, how can I guarantee that I will not backlash or sink?

Zi Shi, tell me...

The pain in my chest got worse.

Over there, Zhuang Lingchen explained the assassination incident clearly, and concluded: "So, the current soldiers and horses, as well as the opportunity to obtain Zhuozhou as a foothold, can be said to be exchanged for His Highness's life. General Shan, for the current plan, there is only- —" Speaking of which, the speed of speech slowed down.

Shan Qi continued: "Only by knocking down Zhuozhou and guarding it well, His Highness will not dare to do anything to His Highness in the future."

Zhuang Lingchen shook his head: "When the crown prince becomes emperor, how can we allow us to enjoy ourselves in Zhuozhou?"

Shan Qi thought about it for a while, and said: "If it really comes to that time, His Highness may not be able to do anything to us."

Yue Zheng interjected abruptly: "I'm afraid—the more the crown prince can't do anything to us, the more he will try his best to do something to us." These words are like tongue twisters, and General Shan needs some time to digest them.

Ni Jian became impatient: "The emperor's intention is to let His Highness stand on his own in Zhuozhou. He is alive and easy to deal with. If he dies..." The word "dead" came out, and Yue Zheng patted him secretly.Ni Jian suddenly realized that the words were disrespectful, and hurriedly stopped, almost biting his tongue.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness continued his own words and continued word by word: "Suppose we conquered Zhuozhou, one day - the father dies, and the emperor brother ascends the throne. Huang Yongshen today will be the king of Jingbei tomorrow. No matter how strong or weak, everyone It will inevitably become a thorn in Brother Huang's side and a thorn in his heart. If you are weak, you will be unable to protect yourself. If you are strong, you may bring even greater disasters..."

With His Highness's explanation, Shan Qi understood Yue Zheng's words, and was shocked: "Could it be, are we going to fight His Highness? ——At that time, it will be the Emperor and the court that we will fight. ..."

"So, we can't wait until then." Zhuang Lingchen said in a deep voice.

Ni Jian patted Shan Qi on the shoulder: "Brother, don't you have a saying in Xirong: "Shoot the wolf as soon as you open the bow, don't wait for the wolf to eat the sheep"-you haven't heard of it?"
