"Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat!"

The Queen Mother carefully read the charm, after a few breaths, the old man's eyes lit up, and praised: "That's right, the king is the boat, the people are the water, the level is stable, the water is overturned, and the people are stable, which is the foundation of a country." ”

Then the Queen Mother looked at Su Chen, with appreciation on her face, and asked, "Where did you know this? This palace has lived for decades, and it is the first time I have heard such words." ”

Su Chen scratched his head, he couldn't say that this was the human dynasty scroll he had seen in his previous life, if he said it, he would have to scare them to death.

"This kid heard it from an old Taoist priest, and he should show it off in front of the queen mother and the concubine. Su Chen smiled embarrassedly, looking honest and honest.

Concubine Yin didn't know who Su Chen was, and when she saw his loyal and honest appearance, she didn't feel abnormal.

But Shangguan Wan doesn't think so, this kid is clever and bad, thinking that he is honest, but he is very wrong.

If Su Chen knew Shangguan Wan's thoughts, he would definitely cry out for wrongdoing.

The Queen Mother then asked: "Su Chen, what do you think Da Zhou should do in this situation?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone else's eyes fell on Su Chen, which made Su Chen a little embarrassed, he scratched his head again, thought for a while before slowly spit out a word, and said, "Wait!"

"Wait, what are you waiting for?" asked Yin Guifei subconsciously.

Su Chen explained: "Wait for the Snow Country to start a war first, once the war starts, the Great Zhou will be self-defense and counterattack, and then the people will only hate the Snow Country, support the Great Zhou, and the people's hearts will gather, and the battle will be won by three points." ”

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, and then had some questions, "If you start a war passively, will you lose the opportunity?"

"No, the strength of the Great Zhou is several times that of the Snow Country, even if there is only a large number of troops in the north, waiting for work, the balance of victory will be tilted towards the Great Zhou, but just in case, the Queen Mother and the noble concubine Niangniang still reminded our emperor to increase the troops in the north earlier. ”

Su Chen said for a while, a little thirsty, stopped the following words, and looked at the Queen Mother with a blank look, as if to say, what I said was hoarse.

The Queen Mother fell into deep thought, and did not notice Su Chen's expression, but the Yin Guifei on the side took the initiative to hand Su Chen a cup of tea that she had not drunk.

Su Chen's face was thick, he was not embarrassed, took the tea, drank it all, wiped the water stains on his sleeves, and continued: "Of course, Da Zhou can't put all his attention on the Snow Country, other forces are also concerned, once the war arises, the ghosts and spirits will all appear." ”

"As long as you take precautions, the Great Zhou relies on the 10,000-year-old heritage, as long as you resist the Snow Country Iron Ride, the danger will be solved, if you can't stop it, you will ......"

The rest of the words, Su Chen didn't say, the Queen Mother and Concubine Yin also knew that in the past ten years, under the hard work of that prime minister, the Snow Country has long been different from what it used to be, and the national strength is so strong that it already has the strength to compete head-on with the Great Zhou.

The most terrifying thing about the Snow Country is not the powerful Snow Country Iron Horse, but the strategic Snow Country Minister, the wisdom of one person, can turn the world upside down, in ten years, from the dozen or so small countries it quickly subdued.

There are good things in the world, and the prime minister of the Snow Country was once called the first wise man in the world, and in front of him, no one dared to call himself a wise man.

It can be seen that this person is terrible.

Once the war starts, especially in the face of the Snow Country Minister, the Great Zhou is not sure of victory, which is also something that Emperor Zhou and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs worry about day and night.

The Queen Mother looked serious, Concubine Yin's face was solemn and worried, even Shangguan Wan and Hongzhu had a touch of worry on their faces, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, and they are still in the dynasty.

There was only one person, carrying a jade teapot in one hand and a teacup in the other, pouring himself a drink, his demeanor was relaxed, and there was no abnormality on his delicate face, as if the war had nothing to do with him.

Shangguan Wan was the first to notice Su Chen's posture that had nothing to do with herself, her silver teeth gritted secretly, and as soon as she changed her opinion on him, she was instantly erased by the scene in front of her.

What a muddy boy, a lazy donkey can't hold up the wall.

After a long time, when Su Chen was about to finish drinking a pot of tea, the Queen Mother and Yin Guifei recovered from their contemplation, and the two looked at Su Chen, both with a touch of imperceptible discoloration.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, this sixteen-year-old boy would have such insight, and even some senior ministers might not have seen it as thoroughly as he did.

Su Chen saw that the two bigwigs had recovered their expressions, and carefully placed the teapot and teacup on the stone table, hehe smiled, without a trace of transgression of the rules, and looked at the Yin Guifei for a while.

The Queen Mother turned her face and reprimanded: "Su Chen, this is the palace, and the rules still have to be followed." ”

Su Chen hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, the Queen Mother taught me a lesson, Su Chen remembered." ”

The Queen Mother glared at him, then looked at Concubine Yin, and instructed: "Shuhua, after you go back, tell Ye'er all the benefits and disadvantages that Su Chen said word for word, but you are not allowed to mention Su Chen, do you know?"

Concubine Yin was puzzled, but the Queen Mother didn't explain, so she had to nod and say, "The concubine obeys!"

The Queen Mother bowed, Yin Guifei respectfully retreated, and Hongzhu got up and left the imperial garden, heading towards the depths of the palace.

Seeing Concubine Yin walking away, the Queen Mother looked at Su Chen and said, "Su Chen, do you know, why doesn't this palace let Ye'er know your wisdom?"

Su Chen replied casually: "Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, and the Queen Mother is protecting Su Chen." ”

Speaking of this, Su Chen was still a little moved, the Queen Mother did not introduce him to Emperor Zhou, obviously there was a intention to protect him, and it also made Su Chen realize that this Great Zhou Emperor must have some ruthless side, and even the Queen Mother, who is the emperor's mother, is wary, after all, she knows her son Mo Ruomu.

The Queen Mother saw that Su Chen was clear, nodded, and didn't say much, she still knew a thing or two about her own son's character, she had the intention of being a Ming Jun, but she didn't have the mind of Ming Jun, and she couldn't see some courtiers whose wisdom and prestige were higher than his appearance, so that over the years, the court was full of some mediocre ministers and corrupt officials.

Even if there are capable ministers, they all choose to protect themselves and gather their talents, which is also one of the reasons for the decline of the Great Zhou.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother sighed deeply, as the emperor's mother, she can only mention something, she can't interfere, as for how far she can go, she can only rely on Emperor Zhou himself.

Su Chen sighed lightly when he saw the Queen Mother, and realized a little in his heart, he was a little strange before, this kind of situation in the world is not difficult to see clearly, but any minister with some wisdom should be able to see some clues, but there is no one.

It is conceivable to what extent the Great Zhou Dynasty has become corrupt.

Emperor Zhou was in the middle of it, the authorities were confused, the situation was like fog, and he couldn't get rid of the way forward.

No wonder, Su Chen thought, and then he left it behind, the foundation of the Great Zhou is still there, and it is far from the point of dying.

......

In the evening, under the leadership of Shangguan Wan, Su Chen was familiar with the way in and out of Cining Palace, and then followed a road map drawn by Shangguan Wan to return to Zhaoyang Palace.

The night has come to the world before you know it.

Su Chen walked on the bluestone road, ready to report to Zhou Ruoxi, he was anxious as he walked all the way, remembering the stupid woman in his heart, there was no news from the Blood Rakshasa, and the palace guards searched for a day and did not find her.

On the way here, Su Chen watched the guards with torches search back and forth, and knew in his heart that the woman had not been caught yet.

Safety should be safe, thinking of this, Su Chen subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and even he didn't notice it.

But the stupid woman had a wound on her body, and she had nowhere else to go in this palace, the only place was ......

"Oops, how can I be so stupid!"

Su Chen patted his head and secretly scolded himself for being too stupid, and the Blood Rakshasa obviously returned to his room.

Thinking of this, Su Chen turned around, recognized the direction of his room, took three steps and two steps, and hurriedly returned to his house, and even the rules of returning to Princess Zhaoyang were casually thrown away by him.

Pushing open the door, Su Chen was a little nervous, and he was a little afraid that the Blood Rakshasa was not in the room, if she wasn't there, then where was she?

With the feeling of suffering from gains and losses, Su Chen stepped into the room, the room was pitch black, quiet, the outside palace lamp shone into the room through the door, shining into the room, with a faint light, Su Chen stared at the bed.

No?

How could there not be?

Was she caught, or was she injured and forced to stay somewhere?

She hasn't eaten in two days, will she faint from hunger?

Su Chen was thinking for a while, his mood was extremely bad, he didn't know what was wrong with him, he was just worried about that stupid woman.

Just when Su Chen was at a loss, the door suddenly closed, and then a familiar faint blue flower fragrance entered the tip of his nose, and then a blood-red figure stood behind Su Chen.

Smelling the familiar smell, Su Chen's originally chaotic heart suddenly quieted down, his hands clutched his armor, turned around, and looked at the figure.

Blood robe, blood hair, blood sword!

Slightly confused, a slender blood-colored figure was reflected in Su Chen's eyes, cold, arrogant, and with a faint chill.

"Are you nervous?"

A pair of starry eyes under the Blood Rakshasa mask were like two black gems, looking at Su Chen quietly, and the cold voice spread in the pitch-black room, like the ding dong sound of a few drops of autumn rain falling into the ancient well, turning back faintly.

Seeing that he was nervous, Su Chen didn't care at all, and when he saw that the Blood Rakshasa had good hands and feet, he breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, with a faint smile on his face, and said with some joy: "Are you okay?"

After saying this, Su Chen's face was a little angry and said: "You are not injured, why did you go out again today? Aren't you afraid of being arrested? Do you still want to live?"

Blood Rakshasa was a little surprised, although he couldn't see Su Chen's face clearly in the dark night, he could feel the annoyance on the other party's face, and said calmly: "I went out to do something, but they couldn't catch me." ”

"This ......"

Su Chen was speechless, are all masters so confident? Two fists are hard to beat four hands, don't you understand?

"It's true that two fists are hard to beat with four hands, but I use a sword, and I can cut ten people with one sword. The timely voice of the Blood Rakshasa echoed in Su Chen's ears.

Su Chen pointed at the Blood Rakshasa with a frightened expression, how could she know what he said in his heart?

"Don't worry, guess the psychology of the other party, this is also one of the compulsory courses for killers. ”

The calm voice of the Blood Rakshasa came again, choking Su Chen without anything to say.

You are strong, you have a reason, it makes him worry.

The Blood Rakshasa seemed to know what Su Chen was thinking again, and said, "Thank you!"

Su Chen finally felt a little better in his heart, and immediately looked at the Blood Rakshasa and asked, "Since your martial arts are so powerful, can you teach me?"

After speaking, Su Chen looked at the latter with a look of hope, his expression was full of eagerness, and then the latter's words completely hit his confidence.

"You're not this material!"

"And I learned the method of killing, which is not suitable for you, and I can't teach you!"

Su Chen was immediately depressed, he also knew that his body's cultivation qualifications were too poor, and it was a problem for his short-lived body to be over thirty years old, and it was really more difficult to cultivate than to ascend to the sky.

But Su Chen understands that only by practicing can he be qualified to find a way to continue his life, and even live.

This is the only way.

Su Chen fell into a deep confusion, the Blood Rakshasa was cold and calm, and when he didn't want to speak, he wouldn't say a word of nonsense.

In the dark room, the two were silent.

After a long time, the cold voice of the Blood Rakshasa sounded again, "However, I have a book of exercises on me, I don't know if you want to learn it?"

Su Chen raised his head suddenly, and a bright light suddenly burst out in his gray eyes, he was not a person who gave up easily, but now that he had a book of exercises to learn, his breathing became short.

"What exercises?"

"The world's first foundation building method!"

"So awesome?"

"Where?"

"The Imperial Study of the Great Zhou Palace!"

"Blood Rakshasa, you stab me to death with a sword!"

"But now it's on me!"

"Can you finish it in one sentence?"

"You're so excited!"

"Well, I'll admit it!"

"I'm going out today just for this exercise. ”

"You went to find the exercises for me? The Imperial Study is so dangerous, you... You're a little stupid!"

"No, you misunderstood, finding this exercise is also one of the purposes of my trip. ”

"You ......"

......
