In the palace of Zhao State, the emperor was discussing the recent chaos in Xiyue with Shoufu, the cabinet and others.

"In any case, the more chaotic the west, the better it is for us. "Shoufu stroked his jaw with a loose beard, Zhao Guo has a total of six phases, he is one of the six phases, according to seniority, it should not be his turn to be the first assistant, but it is not what happened to the five colleagues, one after another, either died of sudden illness, or suffered an accident on the way to the court and broke his leg, and one is the queen of the lower court, and another minister walked down the government with another minister, and was stabbed to death on the street!

Anyway, when he came back to his senses, he was the only one left in the six prime ministers, and the positions of the other five prime ministers were vacant, waiting for the emperor to check him again.

Being the first assistant has always been his lifelong wish, I thought that it would probably be his turn to wait until he was sixty years old, but I didn't expect to become the first assistant at the age of forty-five!

But this age is in a high position, at least for his beard, it is not a good thing, he is not as experienced as the former Shousuke, many things have to go back and think about it carefully, and then consult his father before he can make a decision, so his beautiful beard has become as sparse and sparse as it is now!

It's just that this treasure of the former dynasty is not said to be in the Ruiyao Sect? How could it go to Xiyue? It also fell into the hands of the Jianghu people.

Wait, uh, Rui Yao is also from the rivers and lakes! Shoufu rubbed his forehead with a headache, and it seemed that this rumor was more reliable than the previous one.

Yes, the founding leader of the Ruiyao Sect is the son of the virtuous prince, but the virtuous prince never sat on the dragon chair, and was pushed to the end by his father and step-mother and son, and the whole family was hung up! Oh, no, his second son who ran to be a Jianghu man did not die, at least not he was executed with his father and brothers and his brothers.

But that doesn't mean that he has mastered the treasures of the previous dynasty!

Looking back now, the reason why the Great Elder of the Rui Yao Sect released such news was a bit unreasonable, since he was the Great Elder of the Rui Yao Sect, why did he spread the secrets of the sect to the outside world, unless he disagreed with Li Shu and deliberately made trouble for him.

The follow-up development seems to be confirmed, the disharmony within the Rui Yao Sect, Li Shu did not choose the apprentice candidate that the Great Elder bothered to recruit for him, but chose a thin little girl as an apprentice, and later heard that the child was an orphan left by his former fiancée and cousin.

The Great Elder's family was originally a high-ranking existence in Lotus City, and no one dared to oppose it, who knew that it didn't take long for the Great Elder to even bring his family's children and grandchildren and relatives were all expelled from the Ruiyao Sect, but the Great Elder has been following his old ministers since Li Shu's father took over as the sect leader!

Although the actions of the Great Elder made Shoufu feel inappropriate, after all, it was an old man who had followed Li Shu's father for many years, and Li Shu had gone too far.

Shoufu didn't have a backache when he stood and spoke, and he didn't know how excessive the Great Elder's family was, so he didn't know how unpleasant the Emperor of Zhao who was sitting on top looked at him.

The emperor of Zhao waited for him for a long time, and then he only heard one sentence, no more! The idiots also knew that the chaos in Western Vietnam was good news for their Zhao State, and then what about it? How could they take advantage of this opportunity to muddy the waters of Western Vietnam even more, so that they could make profits from it.

With just such a sentence, Shousuke has nothing to say? He has no idea in his heart? Is he still waiting for him, the emperor, to help him come up with ideas? Who is the emperor and who are the courtiers? Or is Shousuke using him, the emperor and several other prime ministers, as his staff?

Shousuke didn't know that the emperor was waiting for him to plot, and when he saw that the emperor didn't speak, and the other colleagues didn't speak, he lowered his head and didn't speak.

The five new prime ministers all looked stupid, this is the first assistant, right? They waited for a long time, just for him to say this, and then what? It was their turn to speak? The five of them looked at each other for a long time, and only then did one of them tentatively open his mouth, "Your Majesty, the civil strife in West Vietnam is not to be missed, you see, should we take this opportunity and do something?"

"What are you going to do?" asked the Emperor with a calm face.

"There's so much we can do. After getting the emperor's words, the prime minister, who opened his tentative mouth, breathed a sigh of relief and said his thoughts one by one, and the other four people also opened their mouths to supplement when they saw this, and the imperial study was very lively for a while.

In this lively discussion, Shousuke suddenly felt as if he was being excluded!

I opened my mouth and tried to interject, but I found that I couldn't interject, because I couldn't keep up with what they were saying, and I couldn't understand it!

In the palace of Southern Chu, Emperor Chengping lost a lot of weight, as if he was seriously ill, knowing the chaos in Xiyue, he directly issued a series of orders to go down, the borders of the whole territory were guarded, and people were sent to pay attention to the foreign people in Nanchu, he did not believe that Xiyue would be chaotic, the Emperor of Xiyue was a capable person, even if the matter of Yinlongmen was true, he would not let the chaos in Xiyue spread throughout the entire Zhongzhou continent.

The army of Southern Chu was not as strong as that of Zhao and Northern Jin, and he did not expect to profit from the chaos in Western Vietnam, but only wanted to stabilize Southern Chu and not be taken advantage of by other countries.

Eastern Qi wants to go to the west, it is bound to borrow other countries, Zhao is strong and has a number of strong generals, although the empress of the Northern Jin Dynasty has only ascended the throne for a short time, but the people of the Northern Jin Dynasty are already strong, if the people of the Eastern Qi want to borrow the road to go to the West, they will probably choose to pass from the South Chu.

Emperor Chengping thought about it, and then ordered that when he sent an edict to Li Jing, he ordered him to lead his troops to the border of Southern Chu and Eastern Qi as soon as possible, and ordered General Xi and General Shenwei to lead the army to Southern Chu and Western Yue respectively, and the border guard between Zhao and Southern Chu and Western Yue.

Originally, there were guards and garrisons in these places, and the order was issued to these generals to lead the troops over, which was to increase the army and strengthen the protection of the border.

When the people in the court and the central government heard that the emperor had ordered Li Jingshi to lead the troops on guard, they all felt a little awkward, and there was no one in the court! Why did the emperor ask a marquis who was in the filial piety period to lead the troops? Later, after hearing that General Dingxi and General Shenwei had tasks, they were relieved a little.

If you want to say that the general in the DPRK knows the Eastern Qi army best, it is really none other than Li Jingshi and his subordinate generals.

The emperor also ordered several of the generals who had been knighted with Li Jingshi a few days ago, and ordered them to follow the Dingxi and Shenwei armies respectively, and then ordered the remaining generals to lead their troops to Nancheng to meet Li Jingshi.

The capital quickly moved because of this series of wills of Emperor Chengping, and the civil officials originally wanted to say something, but then they didn't know what they thought, so they all quieted down.

Before the army moved the grain and grass, the household department and the military department began to get busy, and the engineering department was not idle, but they were responsible for manufacturing the equipment needed to fight the war, and those people in the military department did not even do a good job of maintenance, and I don't know how many weapons can be used now.

Busy!

The Northern Jin Dynasty army has been stationed on the border for a long time, and the empress is not like her two brothers-in-law, who can only talk empty words. Knowing that the Hidden Dragon Gate in Xiyue might have the treasures of the previous dynasty, although she was a little moved, she was still very sensible and discussed this possibility with Wang Fu.

In the end, at the suggestion of the princess, the empress did not move, and only sent people to the west, on the one hand to investigate the truth of the rumors, on the other hand, she was naturally waiting for the opportunity to make waves.

When the Emperor of Eastern Qi received the news of Xiyue, the other big countries had already moved, no way, they were the farthest away from Xiyue, and there were Northern Jin, Zhao and Southern Chu in the middle, if you want to take the opportunity to raise troops against Xiyue, you have to cross these three countries to go to Xiyue, when the Emperor of Eastern Qi knew that there was a treasure, his brain was indeed hot, but he soon sobered up in the cold water poured by the Emperor Taishang.

It's just, "Father, you can't use it well, do you have to really pour a basin of cold water on your son?"

The Emperor Taishang laughed, "If you don't really pour cold water on it, can you wake up?"

"Yes, yes, yes. The emperor raised his hand and wiped the water on his face, snorting, it was so cold. "My son should go and change his clothes first, seeing that the New Year is coming, but he is not sick. ”

"Well, let's go!" Emperor Taishang watched the emperor walk out under the service of the inner servant, sneezing as he walked, and couldn't help but shake his head, this child's body is too weak!

After the emperor changed his clothes, an attendant came to report, "There is movement in the mansion of the two princes." ”

The two princes in the mouth of the inner servant are the Nine Emperor Prince Ping Wang, the Thirteenth Prince An Wang, after the emperor ascended the throne, he re-crowned the two of them to show his importance to them.

Even though the Emperor Taishang knew that these two sons were not honest, he didn't want the emperor to be heavy-handed to them, so he gave them the title of prince, but the Emperor Taishang didn't say anything on his face, but he was very happy in his heart.

The emperor is very shrewd, he gives these two younger brothers a heavier reward, the emperor thinks he is benevolent, if King Ping and King An make any more moves, the emperor will only feel that these two sons are restless, and when he rewards them again, the emperor will ask him not to give such a heavy reward.

He said a few more words are brothers and relatives, the son of the emperor, no matter how many rewards are given to his younger brothers, the balance in the emperor's heart will only become more and more biased in favor of the emperor.

King An and King Ping, because after the emperor ascended the throne, he treated them kindly, and he felt more and more that this sixth brother had nothing to be afraid of, he was a weak, think about it, after all, he has always been a cripple, and he is used to being weak, even if he wears a dragon robe, he doesn't have the ability to hold up the dragon robe!

In addition, there has been a lot of money, and King An and Wang have started to think about it, King An's arsenal was destroyed, and it can't be said that it is not difficult to re-establish it in a short time, but as long as there is silver, it can still be built.

King Ping's manpower was cut to pieces, and if he wanted to make a comeback and retrain his manpower, he also needed a lot of silver.

It's a pity that no matter how rich the emperor's reward is, it is useless to their plan, and no matter how precious the object is, it is branded with the inner government system underneath, even if they dare to sell it, who dares to buy it? There are also those rare treasures, there is no inner government brand on the top, but who has the capital to eat it?

Just when the two of them were thinking hard to no avail, such a good news came.

There must be a lot of gold, silver, and jewels in it, and when the time comes, a small part of it will be sold to them, and it will be enough for them to raise people, support the army, and build an arsenal!

However, they got the news too late, and they were afraid that the other major powers had already sent people to the Hidden Dragon Gate.

After discussing with the staff, King Ping decided to send a few brothers to Xiyue to wait for an opportunity, they just stared at the people who got the treasure from the Hidden Dragon Gate, I believe that there must be many people who got the treasure, they went late, it was also beneficial, and the powerful ones were all over, they just had to deal with the people who succeeded in the end.

King An's people also had the same idea, but the staff reminded again, "You have to carefully investigate the news that comes out, the people of the Hidden Dragon Gate are not stupid, what if they throw out a target to attract everyone's attention, and then secretly Chen Cang?"

King An nodded, straight and reasonable, his sons had already been sent by him to do business in various places, and there was no money in his hand, which made him extremely insecure, although there were many things rewarded by the emperor, but they were all things that could only be piled up in the warehouse and dusted, and they were useless at all, probably only, when the children got married, they were useful when they were taken out as dowries and dowries!

Because of the lag in news, when the people of the two princes of Eastern Qi set off for Xiyue, they encountered unprecedented difficulties on the border of Southern Chu.

The Southern Chu army was assembled, and strict control was adopted for those who wanted to enter the country, and the people of King An dressed up as a caravan and finally cleared the customs smoothly, but it also took a lot of silver to clear the customs, but thinking of the treasures of the previous dynasty, everyone eased their emotions a little, and rushed to Xiyue without stopping for a moment.

I thought that I would just be stripped of such a layer of skin, but I didn't expect that when I was going to leave Nanchu and enter Xiyue, I was ruthlessly beaten again, which was really infuriating! King An's people decided to be angry that when they returned, they would definitely not borrow the Tao from Nanchu again, otherwise they didn't know how much treasure they had left.

A few brothers of King Ping, even if they pretend to be a caravan, after sitting in a small town on the border of Southern Chu for a few days, they learned that King An's people successfully cleared the customs, but they spent a lot of money, and the accompanying staff suggested that the masters do the same, but the prince and others did not want to spend their own silver, and the staff said in their hearts, do we still have to pay for our subordinates out of their own pockets?

In the end, they decided not to enter Southern Chu from this place, but to go north, there will always be a way to enter Southern Chu.

So, King Ping's men and horses went north, but, to the disappointment of the Shizi brothers, the border garrison of Southern Chu was really responsible, they climbed mountains and waded all the way, and were trapped in the mountains by heavy snow for nearly a month, but they couldn't find a gap to slip across the border into Southern Chu.

They could only move forward, all the way to the border between Eastern Qi and Zhao, and then they could get out of Eastern Qi smoothly, but they only entered Zhao, not Southern Chu.

When they entered the Zhao Kingdom, it was already February of the following year.

It is rumored that the treasures in the Hidden Dragon Gate have been obtained by some major sects, and they sent the elites of the sect to protect the treasures they obtained, and encountered many lootings on the way, but the elites of several major sects are extraordinary, and those thieves who are not long-eyed are all killed one by one.

After hearing the news, the brothers of King Ping were all dumbfounded, they had just entered Zhao Guoye!

And it seems that the people of these Jianghu sects are very tough! The elite! The thieves who want to rob have all been killed, and these guards around them, if they are against them, what are the chances of victory?

Just think it's time to take a break!

By the way, the prince of Ping Wang thought that the people sent by Uncle An had entered Nanchu earlier than them, so he didn't know where they were now? If Uncle An's people had grabbed some of them, then they only had to go and rob the treasure that Uncle An had gotten!

That way, they won't be scolded by their father!

This inquiry, that is, half a month, King An may be the number one person in Eastern Qi, but the people he sent out are just insignificant little people among the many treasure hunters, so there is no news of them at all.

Besides, who would be stupid enough to hold a banner and tell everyone who I am, and everyone wants to make a fortune in silence? The news that the major sects have obtained treasures is all released by red-eyed people, and they don't say it by themselves at all.

In fact, these major sects are also very boring, because they have not gained anything at all, and the Hidden Dragon Sect has no treasures from the previous dynasty at all! If they knew who released the news that they had grabbed the treasure, they would definitely have to skin each other! It would simply kill them!
