Chapter 18: Trade-offs

A few days later.

Above the main hall of the Imperial City of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty closed his eyes and held his hands tightly.

The ministers at the bottom of the steps did not dare to make a sound, and waited for the saint to be angry.

After a while, the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty said in a deep voice: "Escort the original Youcheng Taishou Gan Mao to the main hall!" ”

Gonggong Wei on the side shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "Go to the palace with Ganmao!" ”

The iron chains rattled, Gan Mao's hair was scattered, his face was full of vicissitudes, and he walked up to the hall step by step.

"Gan Mao! You are guilty! The Northern Wei Emperor looked at Gan Mao, who was kneeling below, and was furious.

"Huh! It's just a matter of winning and losing. Gan Maoman replied disdainfully.

The Northern Wei Emperor laughed angrily: "Haha! A little Taishou would dare to become a king and defeat in front of me?! ”

Speaking of this, the Northern Wei Emperor slapped the dragon chair angrily, tilted his head and asked, "Are you worthy?" What are you! Someone! Drag me out and cut it off. ”

The ministers looked at each other, this Gan Mao didn't even try it and clicked directly? It can be seen how angry the current saints are, and they can't help but shrink their heads and don't touch this bad head.

After the Northern Wei Emperor was a little angry, he asked Gonggong Wei to read out the holy decree: "There is a holy decree!" The eldest prince Chu Jiang and the third prince Chu Yifa dogs were meritorious, and each was rewarded with 1,000 taels of gold, 100 silk horses, and 10 altars of fine wine. In addition, Chu Jiang was named the general of Zhendong and led the Eastern Expedition camp! Feng Chuyi was the envoy of the secluded city and was in charge of the border military. ”

Chu Jiang and Chu Yi immediately stood up as ministers: "Minister, thank you Lord Longen!" ”

"No need to be polite! In addition, Chu Jiang found that Gan Mao had a meritorious service in treason, so he asked you to be a royal historian, supervise hundreds of officials, and those who are guilty can be cut off first and then played, and the imperial power will be pardoned! After the Northern Wei Emperor finished speaking, he looked at Chu Yi and thought for a moment before saying, "Chu Yi! I will seal you another Yangzhou assassin to help me maintain the imperial power and clarify the rule of officials. ”

"Obey the order!"

"Sons obey orders!"

After the retreat.

Chu Yi didn't go back to the house immediately, but took Ou Xizi and them to find a remote and quiet place to drink tea.

"The Art of Trade-offs!" Ou Xizi blurted out.

"Trade-off? My father should be on guard against me. Chu Yi was a little depressed, and the plan deviated from reality.

Ou Xizi raised his eyebrows and squinted: "Are you stupid?" Your bias turns into a mistake in your judgment. ”

"Prejudice!?" Chu Yi pursed his lips slightly.

Ou Xizi smashed his thin lips and shook his head slightly: "He is your father, he is not a plant, who can be ruthless!" Only in the emperor's house, he must not weigh the pros and cons. If it weren't for the palace incident three years ago, the Great Wei Dynasty would have been divided into two. Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, you will definitely not have a chance to argue with the Great Prince, for the sake of overall stability, the Holy Lord will definitely guard against you. ”

Ou Xizi lifted his sleeves, raised the purple teacup, and took a sip gently: "Since, the Great Wei Dynasty has been divided into two." Then the saint must choose the right person, in order to restore the territory of the Great Wei Dynasty to good conditions in the future. But it is obvious that the saint is biased towards the eldest prince, and the Youcheng is in charge of the local military, political and defense borders, but at this time, the Youcheng is a mess. And Yangzhou assassinated the history of Yangzhou officials to prevent the Southern Wei from colluding with Yangzhou, Yangzhou is a fragrant bait, and the Southern Wei will take it back sooner or later, and other tribes on the border of Youcheng are also eyeing it. A ghost city and a Yangzhou run back and forth, and you have to be tired and half dead. If something happens, His Royal Highness can't take care of it, the Holy One will definitely condemn you, if you deal with the Holy One, you will start to really tend to you, even if this is just to make you feel better, the power of the Great Prince, the Holy One still sees it in his eyes, and secretly supports it. When Chu Jiang becomes the imperial history, he can better win over hundreds of officials and promote his henchmen. Therefore, this trick of the Holy Lord is very good, it is both a balance and a guard against you, and it is up to you to break this game and win the Sacred Heart. ”

"So as long as I break this game, my chances of winning are a little better!" Chu Yi smiled unnaturally.

Ou Xizi glanced at him: "Your Highness." Your optimistic appearance leaves me speechless. ”

An Luo touched the handle of the sword: "Xiao Ouzi, talk about people!" ”

Little Ouzi! Ou Xizi was very resistant to the title, his face couldn't help twitching, if he hadn't been able to beat him, he would have pounced on him and scratched him to death.

"Ahem! Don't worry, old camel! Listen to me. Ou Xizi retaliated against An Luo's indecent nickname, then ignored his changing face and continued: "First, although Your Highness, although you have military merits, you are not enough, and you have no prestige in the army. The current military power is all in the hands of the Holy One, which is one of the main reasons why the Holy One allows you to compete with each other. Second, the Great Prince has more power than you, and there is a high-ranking person who supports him, Your Highness, your situation is not good. Third, the mind of the saint is difficult to fathom, and there is room for you to exert yourself only after intentional weighing, so everything is still in the hands of the saint. Finally, don't forget that the eldest prince himself is justified! If my guess is correct, the Great Prince and the Southern Wei Dynasty will definitely make trouble with you, and there will be another war between Youcheng and Yangzhou. The human resources we have now mastered will fail! ”

Chu Yi fell into deep thought after listening to Ou Xizi's analysis. An Luo closed his eyes and remained motionless, while Ou Xizi was quietly drinking tea, looking at the white clouds in the sky, and how to go on the road ahead depends on how he chooses.
