Lord of Rebirth

Shen Xi turned to look at Zhang Xi, but was not annoyed, "Master Zhang, you are as wise as you, how could you not think of the reason?"

Zhang Xi smiled and said, "Don't put a high hat on me, Mr. Shen, just speak up."

Shen Xi said slowly, "The reason why the four kings of Ba and Shu did this is because the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so they can't control them. In addition, to give the people a little sweetness, knowing that they don't know what they want, no one will." Oppose, if the court does not make a sound, they will naturally enclose the land and become king."

Lu Jufeng frowned.

Shen Xi stretched out two fingers, "This kind of thing is one thing, and there are two. And the crown prince asked the princes to help him in the crusade against the four kings of Bashu in the form of a secret letter. On the surface, it seemed that he was just asking for assistance, but in reality it was just to test the minds of the princes. We I think the prince should already have a plan for the next step, otherwise how dare he let so many princes know his plan?"

Hearing this, Sun Moyao nodded solemnly, and Zhang Xi's face darkened.

And Shen Xi continued: "If the four kings of Bashu dare to do this, other princes will be suspected of doing such a thing sooner or later even if they don't have this kind of thought. If you don't help the prince today, if the prince becomes emperor in the future, you will doubt whether the princes will do it." I also want to follow the example of the four kings of Bashu. Even if the princes will not do this, will the crown prince really let go of these "princes who did not want to come forward to help"?"

Zhang Xi refused to accept it, and said: "If this is the case, isn't the crown prince too mean-spirited?"

Shen Xi clasped his hands together, "The emperors of all dynasties, didn't all the emperors have a little bit of suspicion?"

"Then it would be even worse if he went with the prince this time and failed to capture the four kings, but offended the other princes in one fell swoop?" Zhang Xi frowned.

Shen Xi glanced at the prince, and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, why don't you believe in our Fufeng King's ability? Before he was canonized as a prince, didn't Fufeng King also lead troops out of customs to drive away the enemy's invasion? With such experience, if you don't Helping the prince is too unreasonable!"

Hearing this, a trace of complacency flashed across Sun Moyao's face.

Zhang Xi seemed to have no confidence, "You say you won't help... This matter should be resolved by the court itself..."

"There is nothing that should be done in this world." Lu Jufeng interjected, "Helping the prince will benefit everything but not harm."

"Yes..." Shen Xi cupped his hands to Sun Moyao, and said, "It's better to promise the prince sooner rather than later."

Sun Moyao put on his clothes and stood beside Shen Xi, "I will lead the troops there myself?"

"That's right." Shen Xi nodded.

Lu Jufeng on the side also echoed.

But Zhang Xi was still stubborn, "What if the princes of other fiefs suddenly led troops to plunder the land during the period when the prince left the fief because of helping the prince? Sir Shen, wasn't your villa also robbed by King Pingyang at that time?" Have you crossed the land?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Shen Xi and Lu Jufeng, but even Sun Moyao showed the expression of "this is nothing serious".

Lu Jufeng said with a smile, "At this time, the news about the four kings of Bashu has already reached the ears of princes everywhere, and the secret letter of the crown prince is probably in the hands of every prince. The common people don't know about this matter, but every prince is I know it well. If the neighboring princes take advantage of the danger to grab the land at this time, then this prince will naturally become a robber in the eyes of other princes, and he will do such a thing without helping or talking , the lightest thing is to be cast aside."

"What's more, the officers and soldiers left by Jieshi will not let the other party succeed, even the common people who don't know where they are will take up arms and resist." Shen Xi also said, "If this kind of thing is really done, other princes will feel that , since you, the lord, dare to rob so clearly, it seems that there is nothing wrong with "I" going to rob "you"."

"And." Sun Moyao said suddenly, "If there are other princes who dare to grab the land at this time, then when this prince returns, they can fight back blatantly."

Hearing the prince's words, Zhang Xi was naturally speechless.

If it is said that the princes plunder each other's land and cities on weekdays, most of the time they want to show their strength, so as to deter the threats from the princes around him.

Before that, when King Fufeng first came to the territory, King Pingyang robbed half of the territory of Fenglu Mountain Villa. It was possible to say that it was a threat or a threat, but with the strength of King Pingyang, he really wanted to snatch the entire Fenglu Villa. Lushan Villa is fine, just grab half of it, more or less, there must be some scruples in my heart.

If Fufeng King is the kind of prince who has no city and ability, and is not very old, it will not look good if he runs to the capital crying and complaining.

Just thinking about this matter, Shen Xi couldn't help but feel resentment in his heart, but now is not the time to be angry, so he can only suppress it.

But the worry Zhang Xi said, for this group of princes who care about face, they really won't do it, unless they are really stupid enough to go their own way. Then, as Sun Moyao said, he can justifiably send troops to conquer, that is, take all the opponent's If the territory is stolen, no one will say anything wrong with him.

Zhang Xi couldn't refute, so he had to cup his hands and said, "Then everything is up to the prince."

Seeing that everyone agreed, Sun Moyao said, "Then, Zhang Xi, come and draft the essay, and write back to the prince for me, saying that the king has agreed, and you can show it to me when you finish writing it. Ju Feng, let me go." Find Wei Zhenyun and ask him to wait for me in the side hall."

The two handed each other and left Mingshuangju.

Shen Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if the prince missed this good opportunity, he would not know when he would have to wait until he could serve the prince.

"Speaking of which, my lord, you don't decide for yourself, but you just listen to our opinions. You are..." Before Shen Xi finished speaking, Sun Moyao embraced him.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it was not easy for Sun Moyao to listen to them so patiently.

Now there are only the two of them in the room, and the last thing to say is to keep the other person's mouth shut.

Sun Moyao hugged him tighter and tighter, as if he was afraid that Shen Xi would break free from his embrace.

Shen Xi thought that the little prince really couldn't hold back, but he was still obediently held by Sun Moyao, letting him kiss her, and letting him not let go.

Almost being kissed until he could barely catch his breath, Shen Xi thumped Sun Moyao's shoulder twice before he was willing to give up.

Shen Xi wiped his lips and said angrily, "Keep an inch."

Sun Moyao smiled heartily and said, "I miss you."

Shen Xi blushed, she was naturally very happy.

Seeing that Shen Xi didn't speak, Sun Moyao kissed the corner of his mouth again, and asked, "Has the terraced fields in the villa been repaired? Do you still need something? So hurry back?"

"You don't have to worry about that." Shen Xi was hugged by Sun Moyao and sat on the prince's lap. He continued: "Most of the terraced fields in the villa are almost finished, only the west section can't be done... But in the end, first. It’s better to let the farmers plant the land, and it’s okay if there’s no harvest this year.”

Sun Moyao's hands became a little restless, "Is it because you are in a hurry to see me?"

"My lord, you are really confident!" Shen Xi said so, but he was actually hit by the lord's words.

"This king has always been confident." Sun Moyao was not lacking in complacency.

But Shen Xi calmed down, and he said seriously: "When I was in the villa, I heard some business people say that they don't have to pay tax for a year when they go to Bashu to do business, and they also said that the farmers should be willing to give the public land. Farming, life is definitely much better than in other places..."

Sun Moyao became serious, "The news has spread so far?"

Shen Xi nodded, "Yes, at first I couldn't figure out what was going on."

Sun Moyao laughed, thinking to himself that if it wasn't for the affairs of the villa, how could his Shen Xi be so smart, how could he not be able to figure out what happened?

But Shen Xi didn't notice the careful thought behind Sun Moyao's expression, he continued: "Thinking about tax exemption until later is not something that the princes in charge of fiefdoms can do, something must happen."

"That's right." Sun Moyao nodded, "Officials from all over the country are not allowed, especially princes. The court must ask the emperor for instructions, and the emperor nods his approval before doing things. The four kings of Bashu, this is a big overstep."

"Yes." Shen Xi said again, "and this alone has already attracted businessmen from other places to flock here, and the local people still don't know what the princes have done, and they may have been fascinated by "honey" I closed my eyes, and that's why I thought of going to find out the news."

"Then it seems that the emperors and uncles of Bashu really gave a lot of good policies..." Sun Moyao frowned, "Shen Xi, if I agree to the crown prince to attack King Hanjia this time, wouldn't it mean that I would kill a group of people?" All offended?"

Shen Xi shook his head, "We can't let the four kings of Bashu really dig out a piece of Yizhou?"

Thinking about it, Sun Moyao nodded helplessly.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"I won't talk about that today." Sun Moyao looked at Shen Xi, "Well... Shen Xi... Seeing that you haven't come back for so long, although Mingshuang Residence has been cleaned up by servants, it's still a bit deserted and there's no way to live, and You didn't notify me before you came back, otherwise I would send someone to come and clean up earlier..."

"My lord? What do you mean?" Shen Xi knew there was something in his words as soon as he heard it.

Sun Moyao coughed dryly, "I mean...you might as well sleep in my room tonight..."

Shen Xi thought for a while, then simply said: "Okay."

He never expected that Shen Xi would agree so readily. Sun Moyao looked as happy as a child. He got up and took Shen Xi's hand, and said, "Then let's go eat first. After discussing for a day, I'm hungry. Come on." .”

Shen Xi smiled and followed behind the prince without letting go.
