Dongfang Shuo ordered the door to open and personally went out of the city to greet him.

Although they wanted to see the emperor, for the sake of safety, Dongfang Shuo temporarily placed them in the city tower, and pulled Zhang Yi down the city tower alone.

"What's going on? How did these people turn into traitors?"

Dongfang Shuo asked.

Zhang Yi smiled and said, "It's very simple. Do you know why I asked you to prepare the enemy's banner and hang it out?"

Asked like this, Dongfang Shuo shook his head.

This is a question he has had before.

Zhang Yi asked himself and replied: "Because when the banner representing the imperial family and the banner representing the feudal official in the south appeared on the wall of the imperial city, the two princes who sent troops on the pretext of preventing the southern rebels from attacking the imperial city became rebels. ”

Dongfang Shuo frowned: "But this kind of low-end trick, it's okay to be stupid, those two people are princes, and they are also princes who are willing to tie their hands and feet, and their wisdom can't fail to see through this kind of trick." ”

Zhang Yi smiled and said, "It's because they have seen through it that they will be tricked." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Have you ever wondered why they want to tie their hands and feet?"

"Naturally, it is to avoid fratricide. ”

"So why avoid fratricide?"

Because by doing so, it is the relatives who are happy to hurt the enemy, avoid fratricide, and it is equivalent to protecting the foundation of the royal family. ”

"Yes, they have the roots of royalty in their hearts. ”

"But what does that mean?"

"Have you ever heard a word from Lord Dongfang?"

"What?"

"The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. ”

"This ......"

"A person who has the foundation of the imperial family in his heart is a person of great loyalty, and they will not disobey the emperor's words. And on top of the imperial city, the flags representing the two sides were hung, and they could see at a glance that the two flags were hung for them. ”

"So what?"

"With just my words, they were convinced that this was the intention of His Majesty the Emperor. So it's still the same sentence, 'The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die'. ”

"But didn't they question it?"

"Questioning what?"

"The emperor is their biological father, why should they die?"

"Born in the emperor's family, how can there be father-son relationship?" Zhang Yi said, "Now that the crown prince's seat is vacant, if the emperor has a candidate in his heart, he will naturally clear the way for this candidate." Which prince the emperor wants to kill, on the contrary, is an affirmation of that prince's ability, and he must have the ability to seize power. The two princes who were born in the emperor's family lacked love since childhood, and for the affirmation from their father, they were naturally willing to die to show their loyalty. ”

Dongfang Shuo stared: "It's really foolish." ”

"Isn't this exactly the vision of Lord Dongfang?"

Zhang Yi said with a smile.

Dongfang Shuo was silent for a moment, then looked in the direction of the city tower again: "So, these seven will come with you immediately to show their innocence and loyalty?"

"Exactly. ”

Zhang Yi nodded.

Dongfang Shuo looked at Zhang Yi and was silent for a breath.

"Your mouth is terrible. ”

As soon as the words fell, he hurried to the top of the tower.

And Zhang Yi didn't leave immediately, but turned around and beckoned a pawn, and after stuffing a few spirit crystals to the other party, he leaned over and said something. After doing everything, he set off and walked up to the city tower and followed Dongfang Shuo.

When Dongfang Shuo returned to the city tower, he saw that the seven True Refining Stage powers were restless.

And when these seven people saw that Dongfang Shuo was back, they hurriedly got up.

"When will you take us to Your Majesty?"

One of them asked anxiously.

After Dongfang Shuo glanced at him, a smile appeared on his face, and he turned around and looked outside the gate of the city.

From this point of view, you can see the main entrance of the camp.

"Before I let you see Your Majesty, there are two more urgent things for you to do. ”

Oriental Shuo Road.

Everyone looked at each other, and then bowed down and said, "My lord, please speak." ”

"First, collect the bones of the two highnesses. No matter what wrong things they have done, they are His Majesty's own sons after all, and His Majesty does not want to see them in a dead place. Dongfang Shuo said.

The crowd immediately agreed.

Then, Dongfang Shuo retracted his gaze from afar and looked at these people.

"As for the second thing, it is to rectify the soldiers and horses outside the city and move the camp to the east of the imperial city. Dongfang Shuo said, "After suppressing the soldiers and horses of the three princes, you can be regarded as guilty and meritorious." ”

This second thing made them frown.

But immediately after that, one of them saluted more respectfully: "I will not fail in my mission!"

If one person accepts, it will naturally make the other six people who are still hesitant waver.

"I'll take my orders!"

In the end, everyone spoke in unison.

So, Dongfang Shuo made way for them: "Then, seven generals, please go." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the seven of them said goodbye one after another, and in a blink of an eye, they had already gotten down the city tower, straddled their horses and galloped away.

"If there are no other orders, Lord Dongfang, can you fulfill ......" Zhang Yi paused before continuing, "The remaining 800,000 spirit crystals that you promised me in advance?"

Dongfang Shuo glanced at him.

"What I promised you is 300,000, why 800,000?"

was questioned, and Zhang Yi had to smile.

"300,000, it's 300,000, yes, look at my memory. ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Yi spread his hands to Dongfang Shuo.

Dongfang Shuo closed his eyes and sighed, then casually threw out a ring.

After Zhang Yi glanced at the contents of the ring, he put away the ring with a smile, and arched his hand: "If there is nothing else, the little one will go down first, if there is any business to do, the Lord Dongfang will just tell him." ”

As soon as the words fell, he hurried away.

Looking at it like this, it seems that I can't wait to go to the sky and drink.

A total of 500,000 spirit crystals before and after, equivalent to 50 million gold coins in Xuzhou, is enough for him to be dashing for a while.

"It's all done?"

Ji Zhaoning appeared at this moment.

Dongfang Shuo nodded: "Today's matter is over." As for tomorrow, someone will do the affairs of the three princes for me, and I can be happy. ”

Listening to his slightly relaxed tone, Ji Zhaoning also smiled slightly, and then leaned closer and said, "Since that's the case, let's talk about our marriage, right?"

"Where are we going to get married?"

Dongfang Shuo asked rhetorically.

Ji Zhaoning smiled: "Just kidding." In fact, Qiu Jinsu is looking for you and wants to talk to you about your marriage to Qiu Yebai. ”

Getting such news naturally made Dongfang Shuo stunned for a moment.

"Qiuhou, talking about marriage, at this time?"

"Yes, the news of the suicide of the two princes reached Qiuhou's ears as soon as possible. After this incident, your status has risen, and perhaps Qiu Jinsu is also afraid that you will turn your face and not recognize people when the time comes. ”

"Am I that kind of person?"

Dongfang Shuo rolled his eyes.

Ji Zhaoning smiled: "What, do you really plan to marry Qiu Yebai?" After she paused, she said, "I heard that for this matter, Qiu Jinsu specially recalled Qiu Yebai back to Qiu Mansion, and now the mother and daughter should be waiting for you in Qiu Mansion." ”

"At first, Qiu Yebai had no choice but to announce the fake relationship with me, just to cut off Lu Yanzhang's harassment, and now that Lu Yanzhang is no longer alive, there is no need for my relationship with her to exist. Dongfang Shuo said, "It's time to make a settlement." ”
