Easier said than done, the first old minister he visited encountered difficulties.

The old minister is the confidant of the former king, and he has indeed been hinted at by the first king, knowing that the third prince Ali Baba, who was brought back from the slums, is the heir of the first king, compared with the previous two mediocre princes, the third prince is indeed talented, kind and gentle, although he has not had much contact, he has a good impression of him, he is a good boy, but he is not very satisfied with his background. After the death of the first king, the old minister planned to assist the third prince according to the will of the first king, but who expected that the third prince would disappear from the palace, so he had no choice but to let the eldest prince inherit the throne. The old minister had always been worried about whether something happened to the third prince, how could a big living person disappear from the palace out of thin air.

Hearing the news of the third prince again, he turned out to be the leader of a group of thieves, and the old minister's mood can be imagined. I wanted to convince myself that the person was actually just the same name, but the vice king had been secretly leaking news to the fog group, and he was sure that it was the third prince. The only consolation is that the fog is a thief, not bad and thorough, the third prince has the idea of saving Barbad, but he is too immature and naïve, but such a third prince makes his heart hesitate, so he always looks at it.

Now seeing the third prince visiting in person, the old minister has mixed feelings.

He rejected Alibaba's request.

"The third prince personally requested, the old man should have readily agreed, you are the heir of the first king, and it is □□ most suitable for you to overthrow the current Abumado, but prince, you disappeared from the palace for no reason, so that Abumado ascended the throne, and reappeared as the leader of a group of thieves. ”

"You...... You've been paying attention to me?" Ali Baba was stunned, and the old minister's words made him very ashamed, "I originally wanted to gain the support of the people, and then go to the palace to negotiate with the royal brother and ask him to stop abusing the people. ”

An Le's words are verifying how high his reputation among the common people is that he has been the disgraceful stain of being a thief leader, and how bad his reputation is among the aristocratic and rich, and that the country is governed by these classes that he has turned into his enemies.

"Ever since he knew that the name of the leader of the Fog Regiment was Ali Baba, and he found out that the Vice King had been secretly delivering news for the Fog Regiment, the old man had been paying attention to it, and by the way, he had done some cover-ups, after all, the Vice King was young, and in some places he was still jerky and immature, leaving traces. The old minister sighed, stared deeply at Ali Baba, his eyes were indescribably complicated, his face was slightly softened, and he did not ask him why he had changed his mind.

"You want to save Barbad, the old man is very happy, but, please go back, the old man will not lend his power to a thief leader. Although he is a righteous thief, after all, he is still a thief, robbing the wealth of the nobles, robbing the wealth of the rich, even if he is not reckless for his own selfish desires, robbery is robbery, and he will not become righteous because of the reason. The old man has always been concerned about the rich and noble people who have been robbed of their wealth and gone bankrupt, no matter what kind of sins they have, how hateful they are, it is not a reason to be robbed. Abumado □□, but if the new king of Barbad were a leader of thieves, would I, Balbad, become a nation of thieves and a laughing stock of all nations. ”

Alibaba's eyes widened in disbelief, and now he really realized the negative effects of the stain, and hurriedly said, "Please wait!"

"Third Prince, you said that you want to save Barbad, so how great is your determination? The old minister sighed again and refused.

"In order to save Barbad, I can give all my strength, even my life, no matter how difficult and painful it is, I have to move forward, so please give me a chance!" Ali Baba pleaded, his eyes red, his voice trembling and sad, "I don't want to see that scene anymore, I don't want to run away anymore!"

The old minister looked at him, and he missed this incomparably similar face to that of the former king when he was young, and he was a little moved when he heard these words, but he put forward an unexpected condition.

"So, please disown the man named Qasim, and he will be a thief from now on. The old minister said expressionlessly.

“…… Qasim?" Ali Baba was stunned, wondering why the old minister would suddenly mention him.

"The old man has carefully investigated, before you joined this fog group, he was the leader, and infiltrating the palace to steal the treasury was also a crime committed by a group of thieves led by him, although the death of the first king was not directly related to that man, but also indirectly. Now, at the instigation of that man, you have become a thief leader, committing many robberies, and going from a prince to a criminal. How can the old man let such a person continue to contact you and continue to have a bad influence on you? After an Abumado, and a new king who hates the aristocracy and the rich and oppresses the upper class for no reason, Barbad cannot withstand such a toss. Even if you plead, if you continue to associate with thieves from the slums, how will the old man know that you are not the second Abumado?"

"The third prince probably didn't know, the eldest prince was not like this when he first ascended the throne, he tried to learn from the previous king, and wanted to be a wise king, but the treasury was empty because of the looting of thieves, and it was not good to raise taxes immediately after ascending the throne, the eldest prince did not raise taxes, and soon there were difficulties in the flow of funds, so he had to listen to the banker's construction and borrow money from the Huang Empire. Although he knew that the guy was very suspicious, after tasting the sweetness, the eldest prince immediately trusted the banker, and under his bewitchment, he was out of control from then on. ”

"It's only hateful that the old man found out about the traces of the third prince, and only found the person named Qasim during the investigation, otherwise he should have sent someone to kill him long before the third prince came back!" The old minister said hatefully, "Not only did he dare to loot the treasury, indirectly killed the first king, indirectly led the eldest prince to be exploited by the bankers, but also bewitched the third prince to degenerate into a thief, and the decay and chaos of Barbad, that man is the source of a chain reaction!"

Many things, it's not that others don't know, but you think others don't know, and the things of the fog are basically transparent in the eyes of this wise old man. Although Kasim has magic weapons, there are ways to kill him, and it is not necessary to resist head-on, the members of the Fog Regiment are mixed in order to increase the number of members, and some are thieves who are really guilty and like to do evil, and it is not too easy to buy this kind of person to poison Kasim. In the face of all kinds of assassination methods, Qasim was nervous.

Alibaba's mind was blank, and his heart was like a knife, "I...... It was I who sneaked out to play and leaked the secret passage to the palace......"

"That hateful thief really deserves to die!!" the old minister was furious, and added another charge to Qasim: to deceive the young and ignorant third prince.

Ali Baba trembled, and was about to lose all his courage, but suddenly remembered the determination he had made before he came, and said that he would never give up, no matter what, he would get the support of this old minister, and the support of other ministers, officials and nobles, to save Barbad, who could be saved by such a fragile determination!

Gritting his teeth, forcing himself to calm down, encouraging himself to show courage, and never give up, Ali Baba's trembling body gradually recovered.

But what to do?

According to the meaning that the old minister inadvertently revealed just now, it was because the old minister found out that Qasim was already with him, so he did not kill the killer under his nose, but helped the fog to cover up, if he agreed to cut off relations with Qasim, I am afraid that that time would be Qasim's death. Although he betrayed him and committed the crime of looting the treasury, Barbard opened the curtain on a series of chaotic decays, but ...... Sure enough, you can't watch Qasim die in order to achieve your goal.

Ali Baba thought bitterly, he knew that he was thinking about this too narrowly at this time, the people were in pain, the country was crumbling, only by becoming the king of Barbad could he gain the power to negotiate with the emperor of the Huang Empire, and only then could he save the country, but he hesitated because of Qasim, as long as he agreed ruthlessly, there would be progress in one qiē, which was much more efficient than being the leader of the fog for so long without making progress, but ......

But......!

Sure enough, it can't be done, what's the difference between this and killing Qasim with your own hands!

Ali Baba burst into tears, suppressed the urge to sob, and a broken voice overflowed from his mouth. He raised his hand and looked at his hands, as if he was hallucinating in a trance, seeing that his hands were covered with blood, Qasim fell in disbelief, and a group of ministers and nobles next to him knelt down in submission.

His purpose was accomplished, but how ironic, how dirty, how dark!

Even if Qasim betrayed him, was angry, and suffered, he never thought of killing Qasim with his own hands.

Even if he wanted to overthrow King Abu Mado and become the new King of Barbad, he never thought of killing the Great Brother with his own hands.

He has a soft and kind heart and has never thought of making a killing.

So when this option was presented to him, and realizing that Kassim's life had to be exchanged for the old minister's support for him, he was almost breathless in pain.

"I ...... Sure enough...... I'm sorry, I really can't watch Qasim die! Even if he betrayed me, even if we had differences, but he is still a good brother who I grew up with!!" Ali Baba let out a voice in pain from the depths of his throat, tears blurred his eyes, he couldn't see the old minister's expression clearly, and choked, "How can I ...... Kill your own good brother ......"

"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, becoming King of Barbad is not a child's play, you can just talk about it. There are many things that come with being a king, including making sacrifices for certain purposes, and embarking on this path means that there will be more setbacks and darkness waiting for you. Barbad now needs a bold and wise king, not an indecisive and unbridled naïve king, a king who is destined to be lured down the dark path, and it is better not to be expected from the beginning. ”

"The old man knows that you are a good boy, and that you are gifted, kind and gentle, and better than the two princes, but you have lost the best of times, and you have returned to Balbad at the worst time, and the future of becoming the new king is destined to be difficult. If you don't have this awareness, you should always be a good boy. ”

"The ambition of the Huang Empire understands that no matter how bad it is, it is just that the Huang Empire has annexed Barbad. It may not be a bad thing to be ruled by that country, at least the ruler has the consciousness and ability, as long as the people can keep them fed, clothed and warm, and live in a warm house, gradually the Sharja royal family will disappear from everyone's memory. ”

"It's just a pity that the inheritance of the Sharja royal family ends here. ”

The old minister sighed, and the whole person became decadent, as if he had aged several years all of a sudden, and his old back was even more bent.

For a moment, Alibaba wanted to say yes, but finally refrained. He wiped his tears from his eyes, his eyes were red, he bowed deeply to the old minister, and said loudly: "I will definitely come again!"

Then he turned around and walked away.

The old minister watched his back as he left until he disappeared from view.

"Haven't you been looking forward to the third prince? His Royal Highness Ali Baba has obtained the legendary metal artifact, which is recognized as the king's weapon by the demon god, how many people in this world can get this honor and will definitely be able to save Barbad, why ...... now?" one of the old minister's henchmen was puzzled.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is still too immature, if he just gives up like this, I am right to refuse at the beginning, if he can learn from the ordeal and learn from the experience of failure, his growth is what I expect. Nothing is smooth sailing in the world, especially now that Barbad is in a worrying situation, and a good naïve boy can't pull back a country on the verge of collapse. The old minister's eyes were full of wisdom, and his cloudy eyes flashed with fine light.

His refusal and request are a test for Alibaba, if Alibaba persists, he will be pleased, if Alibaba really agrees to the request, he will be happy, and what he is most looking forward to is that Alibaba can break through his conditions to achieve his goal perfectly. The former shows that Alibaba has determination and consciousness, as long as careful teaching can indeed become a qualified Balbad king, and the latter shows that Alibaba not only has determination and awareness, but also can draw inferences from one another, full of creative power, and is good at grasping the conditions to break through the limitations to create benefits for itself.

Today's Barbad is not bound by the conditions set by the Huang Empire, struggling painfully, just like Ali Baba is suffering because of the conditions given by the old minister, the former is a decent king who is only suitable for peacetime and wants to break through, and the latter is likely to find a way out of Barbad's current desperate situation.

"The head of the family really had a foresight. ”

"Alas, but what I'm saying is not false, the prince really played a good hand. ”

How to put a prince whose self-destructive reputation is specially aimed at the upper class such as officials and aristocrats to the throne, the old minister is also very troubled.
