Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "First of all, the younger brother must first state that what is the so-called number one thinker today, it is just the nonsense of those who do good things below. No one in the world knows that Your Majesty is the only descendant of the old master of the 'Tianji Old Man' (Xuanyuan Ziwei), and you are the first wise man in the world. Compared with you, the so-called light of fireflies can compete with the sun and the moon. ”

Emperor Tianwei said: "Okay, our brothers have been friends for many years, so there is no need to praise each other so much." No matter what, no matter what, if you want to say that you are decisive and dominate the world, the foolish brother may really have a slight advantage. But if you talk about it, if you are strategizing to win thousands of miles away, it should be your Shangguan brother who is better. ”

Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Since this is the case, then the younger brother will not say anything more." Since Your Majesty asked about this just now, then I will boldly speculate on your deep meaning today. It's just that if the younger brother is wrong, please don't be angry. ”

Emperor Tianwei said: "Where is this, Brother Xian, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Although our brothers are named monarchs and ministers, in fact, they are still brothers in life and death who are like brothers and sisters, so many years of knowing and intersecting, don't you still understand my Tianwei's personality. ”

Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "If the younger brother is not mistaken, Your Majesty's arrangement today should be for two things." ”

Emperor Tianwei said: "I would like to hear the details, which two aspects?" ”

Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "First, it is the matter after the death of His Majesty; Second, it is the strong enemy of the north, Udi. ”

Emperor Tianwei said: "Those who know me, Shangguan Xian brother!" It's no wonder that even the first teacher, the 'Old Man of Tianji', has repeatedly warned me that I must be especially careful about you. ”

Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "It's not a secret, about this matter, the younger brother has indeed heard of a few words. It is said that at that time, the 'Old Man of Tianji' also gave you two special choices, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Emperor Tianwei said: "Yes, there is indeed something, his old man once solemnly warned me." Either treat each other with sincerity and entrust them with important tasks; Either the hot hands are ruthless, so as to prevent future troubles! ”

Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Fortunately, Your Majesty has finally been gracious, and the younger brother has been able to survive so far." ”

Emperor Tianwei said: "Actually, you can't resent the ancestor for this, the old man is just telling the truth and talking about things, and there is absolutely no personal color mixed in." ”

Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Your Majesty's words are serious, and the younger brother has no such intentions. To tell the truth, at the beginning of His Majesty's Longxing, the younger brother was really quite unimpressed, and even decided to compete with you and compete in the Central Plains. However, since the 'Taiyue Mountain Debate' between the two of us that day, the younger brother has been happy and convinced since then, willing to admit defeat, and no longer have the idea of being a king. ”

Emperor Tianwei said: "Actually, back then, thanks to the virtuous brother, you were able to take care of the overall situation and help me, otherwise it would be difficult for me to achieve such a great cause so smoothly." You must know that at the beginning, you were all the top officials in the world, and they were the most powerful people in the world. It is precisely with the help of your Shangguan clan that Brother Yu finally has his own foundation. It is also an example of your Shangguan clan, so that you have the heart of the world's corporal clan, and the foolish brother can determine the world and eventually become a hegemon. ”

Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "A little thing, why worry about it." In fact, in the final analysis, it is His Majesty's eloquence and heroism that is the world's heroes, and our Shangguan family is just pushing the boat down the river and conforming to the general trend of the world. ”

Emperor Tianwei said: "Okay, the past is no more, what can I say." Let's go back to the present, and ask Brother Xian to help me analyze these two current problems. ”

Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Since this is the case, then the younger brother will not measure his strength and throw bricks and lead jade." It's just that if some words are inappropriate and violate the prohibition, please don't blame Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Tianwei said: "This is nature, it doesn't hurt to just say it." Again, we are just sincere between brothers today, and there is absolutely no distinction between kings and ministers, let alone any forbidden offenses. ”

Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "In this way, the younger brother will talk about the first question first, that is, the matter of His Majesty's death." To tell the truth, although Your Majesty is alive and powerful, in that regard, it is really unsatisfactory. Although His Majesty is also one of the many concubines in the Three Palaces and Six Courts, who would have thought that he was a lone seedling in a thousand lands, which really made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military sigh. ”

Emperor Tianwei said: "Yes, perhaps, as the old man of the ancestor Tianji said, it was I who injured my kidney qi when I practiced when I was young, so that today's embarrassing situation appeared. Or, maybe I killed too heavily earlier, which greatly damaged yin virtue, so I had such karma. ”

Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Fortunately, Your Majesty finally liked a son three years ago, which made the ministers sigh heavily. However, what makes people even more worrying is that Prince Tianzong is too thin. Now that you have Your Majesty's protection, you don't need to worry too much, but if one day, Your Majesty really makes a mistake, I'm afraid this disaster will be really disaster. ”

Emperor Tianwei said: "What Brother Xian said is extremely true, but in fact, this is what Brother Fool is most worried about in my heart. You know, I personally have my own self-knowledge, because I killed too heavily in the early years, I am afraid it is difficult to live a long life. What's more, the old man Tianji, the former master, once divined a hexagram for me, saying that I was sad about the 'catastrophe of the sixtieth armor'. ”

Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "This easy-to-learn thing is just reasoning and prediction, in fact, Your Majesty doesn't have to believe it, everything just goes naturally." Even if that old man of heaven has a clever plan that shocks the past and the present, I am afraid that there will inevitably be miscalculations, Your Majesty can only listen to it, and never take it too seriously. ”

Speaking of this, I don't know if he was intentional or unintentional, but I saw him turn his face slightly sideways, and his eyebrows suddenly tightened. Of course, all this was naturally not visible to the Tianwei Emperor in front of him, but his own heart was violently chuckled.

It turned out that as early as the first night of the edict entering Beijing, he himself deliberately made a divination. Moreover, what is shown on this hexagram is exactly the same as the hexagram of the old man of Tianji.

Not only that, but even more, he even went one step further, directly deducing a more subtle and far-reaching evolution of the words. It's just that he prefers to believe that all this of his own is just an unintentional miscalculation, because it is too terrifying!

At this moment, Emperor Tianwei said in a deep voice: "To be honest, in the past year, although on the surface, I am still as strong as an ox and refreshed, and when I am happy, I can eat a cooked leg of lamb in one meal, or I can drink one or two jars of spirits in one go. What's more, I can even bend my bow and carry gravel on my inferior horse. ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, sighed softly, and then continued: "However, I myself know it well. In fact, all I have now is just a so-called 'return to the light'. ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Qingyun, the King of Qi, was about to open his mouth to be relieved, but Emperor Tianwei waved his hand lightly and directly intercepted his mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Tianwei continued to say lightly: "Brother Xian, don't be impatient, there is no need to say more, those meaningless words of relief." Our brothers are also otherworldly 'experts', and if you come to those senseless politeness, it will really not be interesting. ”

Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Since this is the case, then the younger brother will directly explain it." Your Majesty, how did you decide, please make it clear, so that your courtiers can know in their hearts. ”

Emperor Tianwei said: "It's not a secret, the foolish brother really hasn't thought about it, and he is in a dilemma." Of course, it is precisely because of this that the foolish brother asked you for advice. In this way, let's put aside all the names for the time being, and let's think about it from the two of us. What do you think should be done in the current situation? ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, looked around as if intentionally or unintentionally, then lowered his voice and said slowly: "In this way, it is nothing more than the so-called 'thunder three steps'. ”

Emperor Tianwei said: "What is the 'thunder three steps', I would like to hear it in detail." ”

Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "First of all, that is to establish the prince early to correct his position." In fact, it is to prepare in advance for the unexpected. In the end, it is to make an early decision and cut off internal troubles. ”

Hearing him say this, Emperor Tianwei was silent for a quarter of an hour, like a sculpture, stunned there, without any reaction.

Seeing him like this, Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, was even more frosty, and even the boiling water that was already boiling next to him had no time to take care of it, but it was still bubbling white there.

After all, he knows that today's situation has pushed him to an extremely embarrassing "critical point" invisibly. He can only advance and retreat now, and there is no other choice at all.

In this way, it was only now that he finally understood the so-called "deep meaning" of Emperor Tianwei. Since this is the case, then he can only move forward bravely, knowing everything and saying everything.

Fortunately, he knew this Tianwei Emperor very well, and knew that he was by no means deliberately "digging a pit" for him and testing him. Rather, it should be a real sense of putting your heart in mind and asking him for advice.

Thinking of this, I saw that he secretly gritted his teeth, and then continued to say coldly: "What's the matter, hasn't Your Majesty really understood what his brother meant?" In fact, there was no big problem in this matter, as long as His Majesty can be ruthless, he can prevent future troubles......"

Hearing this, Emperor Tianwei raised his hand violently and muttered with a sad face: "Okay, I understand what you mean, Brother Xian, you don't need to continue." It's just, it's just that if you really want to make me so determined about this, I'm afraid it's really difficult for the foolish brother to make a decision. ”

Hearing him say this, Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, was silent for half a quarter of an hour, and then said lightly: "Since this is the case, it is enough to prove that Your Majesty already has the corresponding 'charter', so it is naturally difficult for Your Majesty to say anything more." Besides, this was not originally a 'forbidden place' that the ministers should have overcome. ”

Emperor Tianwei said: "Actually, otherwise, presumably the virtuous brother should also know, foolish brother, I have always used people without suspicion and suspicion." After I hand over my hole cards to you, maybe you will really understand my good intentions. ”

Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Since Your Majesty is so sincere, and the younger brother has already roughly understood a thing or two, then let's move on to the next topic." ”

Emperor Tianwei said: "I can't hide it, in fact, this second topic is my big problem." You know, I have your four princes under my command, plus the huge clan power that you each represents. Even if I am really not there in the future, then the society of our Celestial Empire will not fall apart in an instant. I still have complete trust in this, you four princes. What's more, when the time comes, I will have your Shangguan brother at the helm for me, and I will never be disappointed. ”

King Qi Shangguan Qingyun said: "Your Majesty has praised it, let's hurry up and continue the following topic." ”

Emperor Tianwei said: "Speaking of the strong enemy in the north, Udi, then we can't help but casually mention the Donghai Dynasty of the previous dynasty. Although they have now withdrawn from the Central Plains and are partial to the eastern coastal areas, they will still always be quite militarily powerful. ”
