"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you heard it right, we wiped out the Ying Kingdom with a single letter. Shang Zhu put away his slightly casual attitude in the past, and solemnly said to Ji Zhengdao.

Seeing that Ji Zheng still couldn't believe it, Shang Zhu gave his own explanation.

Jiang Buqi is the most capable and ambitious among the many princes, so his desire for power is also the greatest, this person's heart is higher than the sky, no matter what treasures he gives him, in his opinion, it is just a cheesy thing, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

If you give him a piece of land as a gift, it will be completely different.

Of course, Shang Zhu does not have the power to directly give away land, and even Prince Ji Zheng, who is above 10,000 people under one person, also does not have this power.

According to the rules and regulations of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, only the King of Xuanyuan had the right to divide the land among his courtiers.

But the world is so big, there are no wonders, but there is such a warm-hearted person who can't wait to give away his land as a gift, so how can Shang Zhu not laugh at it?

This ancient hot-hearted person is Ying Yougong.

Ying Yougong only wanted to eliminate the crown prince for the third prince, ignoring the rules formulated by Emperor Xuanyuan more than a thousand years ago, ignoring the secular constraints and the eyes of others, and openly sending troops to hunt down and kill the prince.

At this time, the various vassal states have not yet developed to the crazy level of undeclared war in the future, although the Xuanyuan Dynasty is declining, but the residual power is still there, there are occasional small frictions between the vassal states, but there are also many negotiations, few battles, almost no one dares to declare war openly, let alone invade other countries for no reason.

If one vassal state rashly starts a war, even if the other party is a small country, it will arouse the anger of other princes, and it will definitely be attacked by a group.

The wrath of the crowd is unbearable.

Shang Zhu understands this truth, he knows that Jiang Buqi also understands this truth, and he knows even more that Jiang Buqi has always been eyeing the surrounding countries.

But Jiang Buqi is very patient, he has been waiting, waiting for a good opportunity, a chance not to be implemented, a chance to become famous.

The clever merchant helped this golden opportunity at the right time, and on the road of revenge, he personally paved the first shovel of dirt to cover the grave for Ying Yougong.

The letter dedicated to Jiang Buqi was written by Shang Zhu imitating the prince's handwriting, and Xiang Gong did not change a word, and made it public to the world as it was:

Xiao Wang in the Son of Heaven, for the Son of Heaven to the south to hunt, the southern princes should be respectfully received, but Ying Guogong behaved rudely, poisoned the little king, and then sent troops to chase and kill, this is against the world's great disapproval, the evil deeds of people and gods are angry, if not punished, the princes compete to follow suit, then the prince is not in danger? The Son of Heaven is not in danger?

Now Xiao Wang is sheltered by the monarch of Xiang Guo, Xiang Guo has always maintained the Xuanyuan Dynasty and obeyed the orders of the Xuanyuan monarch, so Xiao Wang allowed Xiang Guojun to give the necessary blow to those who desecrate the prestige of the dynasty to set an example.

All the princes should unite as one to maintain the Xuanyuan Dynasty's 10,000-year-old state.

The thirty-third Sun Zheng of Emperor Xuanyuan said

Although Ying is a small country, even if there are several big countries behind it, and even the support of the third prince, Jiang Buqi, who is eager to open up the territory, thinks that this is what the prince himself meant, so he didn't think much about it at that time, and immediately after the banquet, he ordered General Zi Rin to lead a thousand chariots, 100,000 infantry, and 10,000 cavalry to attack Yingguo.

Ji Zheng returned to the mansion after the banquet and closed the door, and Shang Zhu and the others didn't mention it to him, so he didn't know about it.

General Zi Rin did not disgrace his mission, concentrated on most of the elite of the country, and took advantage of the fact that Yingguo did not react, and with the momentum of thunder, he attacked the capital of Yingguo within one day, broke through the Yangli Palace, and forced Ying Yougong to swing his sword and kill himself. At this moment, he was taking Ying Yougong's head, and the starry night rushed back to Tiancheng to return to his life.

Until now, Jiang Buqi looked at Ji Zheng with an ignorant expression, and then thought that Shang Zhu should have written this article without Ji Zheng, if this is the case, this Taibu's courage is really big enough, this is no longer to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but to hide the Son of Heaven to order the princes, compared to the previous one, his move is even more inferior and despicable.

Rao is such an ambitious hero as Jiang Buqi, and when he thinks of Shang Zhu being bold and reckless, he can't help but feel a chill down his spine.

Isn't Shang Zhu just a Taibu who is good at fooling, when did he become so powerful? Is this person hidden or is there a master behind him?

Jiang Buqi looked at Shang Zhu, and was very puzzled in his heart, at this moment he wanted to hear what Shang Zhu was trying so hard to help him.

Shang Zhu saw Jiang Buqi staring at him, and laughed: "The Son of Heaven sent the prince south, one of the purposes of this trip is to go out to patrol the countries and inspect the people, in addition, the Son of Heaven has another secret mission sent to the prince, and His Royal Highness the prince must cross the Qingjiang River and enter Nanzhou." And to cross the Qingjiang River, you can't do without the help of Xiang Gong. ”

"That being the case, the Son of Heaven only needs to give the widow a secret edict and order the widow to assist the prince, so why bother so much?" Jiang Buqi asked quietly.

"Xiang Gong, I said that it was a secret mission, of course, there is no edict to prove it. If a secret edict is issued, and this secret edict is snatched away on the road, won't it expose the secret of the Son of Heaven? The king blames him, but his head will fall to the ground, and no one will dare to treat him carelessly, and the prince will not dare to do so. Shang Zhu dealt with it very carefully, not giving Jiang Buqi the slightest room for questioning.

"Is that so?" Jiang Buqi turned to look at Ji Zheng.

"It is my father's order that this matter should not be disclosed to anyone. Ji Zheng replied.

"Tsk, I heard that the Son of Heaven wanted to ask the descendants of Fuxi to go out of the mountain to assist, but he was resolutely opposed by Xiao Yuanzhi's Taifu and other ministers, and finally it was over, but I didn't expect to give up. Jiang Buqi said.

"Hehe, Xiang Gong is really smart. Shang Zhu was lukewarm, perfunctory Jiang Buqi.

The widow was still confused. ”

"Tell the public. ”

"The natives and barbarians of Nanzhou have been controlling Nanzhou for a long time, how do you plan to pass through and enter Tongbai Country?"

"Shang Zhu is ignorant and wants to listen to Xiang Gong's advice. ”

"How dare the widow give advice, but I heard that the natives and barbarians of Nanzhou have been fighting very hard recently, so I specially reminded the prince and Taibu to be more careful, so as not to get involved. ”

"Thank you for your kindness. ”

"Hehe, the widow also hopes that you can return safely. ”

"What about borrowing a boat?"

"There is no problem, but now the ships are scattered along the Qingjiang River, and it will take time to concentrate them. ”

"How long?"

"Ten days at least, as much as a month. ”

"Xiang Gong, this time is too long. ”

"That's the limit of what my father can do. ”

"But I heard that Xiang Gong's elite sailor practiced on Xuanfengdu. In fact, there is no need to bother to send us across the river with elites, just lend boats, and we will handle the matter of crossing the river ourselves. ”

"It seems that Lord Taibu has been thinking about the public building boat for a long time. Mourning said with a sneer.

"How dare you? It's just that this military ship is parked on the river, so it is better to borrow it from us, so as not to waste it. Shang Zhu laughed.

"The prince crossed the Qingjiang River and went to Nanzhou, if there is a mistake on the way, the saint will blame him, and we can't afford to be a country. "Mourning.

Shang Zhu saw that he disagreed, and instead of arguing with him, he asked Jiang Buqi instead: "What does Xiang Gong mean?"

"The stakes are high, and the widow must come up with a plan. Jiang Buqi smiled and persuaded Shang Zhu to drink, "Drink first, put aside business for the time being, be happy today, you must drink to your heart's content, don't get drunk and don't return." ”

"Hehe, it turns out that Xiang Gong also knows that it is a happy thing to destroy Ying Kingdom" Shang Zhu sneered, and said: "I don't know if Xiang Gong used the name of the prince to send troops to attack Ying Kingdom if the other princes knew about it, I don't know if he would be happy?"

"What do you mean?" Jiang Buqi's face changed in an instant.

"It's not interesting, Dingguo has always been at odds with Xiangguo, if Dingjun knows that Xiangguo is attacking Yingguo in the name of the prince, then he also has a reason to attack your Xiangguo. ”

"On what grounds?" asked with a contemptuous smile.

"For whatever reason Xiang Guo uses to send troops to Ying Guo, Dingguo can also use the same reason to attack your Xiang Kingdom. The small countries you fought at the beginning of the year were all subordinate to Dingguo, and although Dingguo may not care whether these small countries survive or die, your actions have undoubtedly swept away the face of Dingguogong. ”

"So what? I have 200,000 elites in Xiangguo, guarding the border day and night, and I am afraid that the country will not dare to attack. ”

"Mr. Mourning, you and I both know what the strength of Xiangguo is, so there is no need to brag. Shang Zhu looked at Jiang Buqi, saw that he was silent, and said with a smile: "Dingguo's land and population are several times that of Xiangguo, and it is the largest country in the west, with strong national strength, countless strong soldiers, and the most powerful sailor of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, how can Xiangguo resist." I dare to say that if Dingguo really wants to attack Xiangguo, the tragic situation of Yingguo today is the situation of Xiangguo tomorrow. After a pause, he finally added: "Xiang Guo has gone through hardships to develop from a small land to a hegemon, if Xiang Gong becomes the king of the dead country, how to explain to those ancestors who have worked hard." ”

Shang Zhu's words made Jiang Buqi speechless, but he said, "Since this is the case, then don't think about leaving the Gonggong Palace." ”

"Haha, that's even better, if we have three long and two short, the king can't get his things, and in a fit of anger, he orders the princes of the world to besiege Xiangguo, and then Xiangguo will really not exist completely. ”

"You have spoken wildly three or four times, I will endure you for a long time, come to ......" Mourning just wanted to order the guards outside the hall to rush in, but was stopped by Jiang Buqi softly, "Mr. Mourning, don't be rude." ”

"Public!" Seeing that Jiang Buqi's face was solemn, he was not angry and arrogant, so he had to sigh and be silent.

Jiang Buqi said to Shang Zhu in a deep voice: "Three days later, the prince and Tai Bu will see a boat on display on Xuanfengdu. ”

"In this way, thank you for your help. Shang Zhu thanked Jiang Buqi, and Ji Zheng, who was at a loss, also thanked him, and then the two of them withdrew from the Zhigong Hall together.

"Lord, why did you let them go so easily?"

"This business assistance is not simple. Jiang Buqi couldn't imagine that there was someone who could grasp his psychology so accurately, it seemed that the information he had collected before was wrong, he looked at the funeral and asked, "Mr. Have you heard of Jigu." ”

His face did not change, and he replied calmly: "I haven't heard of it." ”

"I heard that Jigu is a very large organization, and its disciples are all over the Shanhai Continent, they are active in the upper echelons of each country, and they specialize in giving advice to the monarch, and it is a very powerful organization. ”

Mourning shook his head: "Your Majesty doesn't know. I only heard that Shang Zhu was a bastard who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, but I couldn't see how much ability he had. ”

"Mr. can guess that the prince is going to cross to the south, which is also very powerful. Jiang Buqi heard the obviously unconvinced tone of the mourner, and praised him euphemistically.

However, the prince's willingness to assist the prince to cross the Qingjiang River is really a bad move, and the minister is worried that the prince will regret it in the future. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"As long as the prince crosses the Qingjiang River, he will enter the river and turn into a dragon, and the dragon will fly in the sky, and no one can control it. ”

"Is it that serious?"

"Of course there is, not to mention whether the prince can invite the so-called descendants of Fuxi to come out of the mountain to support the Xuanyuan Dynasty, even if he can't be invited, it doesn't matter, I'm afraid that he will have something to do with the barbarians. ”

"Barbarians, isn't that right, when the barbarians meet the descendants of Emperor Xuanyuan, they can finally repay the hatred of the year. ”

"I'm afraid that what you know is only a fake history, not a real history. "Mourning and sighing.

"Really?" Jiang Buqi was noncommittal, he was not much interested in the truth or falsity of more than a thousand years of history, he was only interested in expanding the territory of Xiangguo and making himself a king with a special book of history.

He and Jiang Buqi have been together for nearly two years, how can they not know the thoughts of this monarch, but he still does not give up, and insists on admonishing: "Continuing to keep the crown prince is the best choice for the prince......"

"Sir, don't say that again. Since the widow has made a promise, then he must keep it, and he must not act without faith, otherwise the widow will not be able to gain a foothold among the many princes in the future. ”

"What about Shang Zhu?" asked the mourner.

"What's wrong with him?"

"This man is resourceful and eloquent, and if he is in public use for his own use, it is best, and if he cannot, he cannot be used by others. ”

"No, this person mostly uses sideways techniques, all kinds of means are used to the extreme, despicable and shameless, and the widow cannot recruit him. He knew this counselor who had only been with him for two years, and who had always acted in extreme ways and was unkind, and it would not surprise him what he said or what he did.

"That's going to kill him. ”

"Nope. Jiang Buqi denied it, but he didn't say what he had in mind: At this time, the chaos in the world is the time to win the hearts of the people all over the world, if he falls into a crime of indiscriminate killing of innocents, it is not conducive to him recruiting talents and dominating the world.

"Your Majesty, please consider the advice of your courtiers carefully. ”

Jiang Buqi said a few good words in a row, but his mind at this time was no longer on Shang Zhu and Ji Zheng, when he thought that the territory of Xiangguo had been further expanded, the excitement in his heart could no longer be hidden, and the excitement jumped on his face: "Today, the widow is very happy, and decided to invite the ministers, you help me prepare well." ”

He smiled bitterly, saluted Jiang Buqi and retreated by himself.
