In the year 355 of Tianyao, the crown prince of Xiyi was willing to kill his father to seize the throne, and then took his father's wives as wives to establish his authority by violence.

Recently, they have repeatedly invaded the northern borders of the Northern Dynasties, and the kings of the Northern Dynasties thought that they were just bluffing, so they did not pay attention to them.

A month later, the Xiyi Kingdom Gan took the risk of capturing Yicheng on the border of the Northern Dynasties, and the king of the Northern Dynasty was deeply worried at this time, so he asked Liu Jing, a strategist in the court, how to deal with it.

Liu Jing said: "Some time ago, the soldiers were still very tired from the attack on the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, and now it is not appropriate to use force to conquer the Xiyi Kingdom, but we are willing to kill my father to seize the throne and establish authority with violence, and we cannot use benevolence and righteousness to persuade him." The only way to do it is to use a strategy, but I'm worried that you can't do it, the king? ”

The king of the Northern Dynasty asked, "How?" ”

Liu Jing replied: "If the king can marry Princess Yongning to Gan Mao as his wife, and give a rich gift, he will definitely admire the benevolence and righteousness of the Northern Dynasty, and the princess will marry and become the queen of Gan Mao, and give birth to a son in the future, it will definitely be the crown prince." Throughout the year, the king, you frequently visit them with what is surplus in the Northern Dynasty and lacking in the Western Kingdom, and take the opportunity to send eloquent envoys to advise and explain etiquette. In this way, when Gan Mao was alive, he was the son-in-law of the Northern Dynasty; After his death, your grandson became the king of Xiyi. The minister had never heard of his grandson daring to fight against his grandfather. ”

Liu Jing observed the king's expression at this time, and saw that he was still a little hesitant, and then he continued: "In this way, we can gradually submit the Xiyi Kingdom without a battle. If the king is reluctant to let Princess Yongning go, and chooses a fake princess in the harem to make peace, if they know, it will definitely cause a war between the two countries! ”

When the king heard this, he said, "Well, then let the princess go!" ”

"What else do you want to talk about?" Liu Jing saw that the king admired him, and he became bolder.

"Please!" The king replied.

"Some time ago, the Northern Dynasty captured the Eastern Zhou Kingdom, and now the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is already the territory of our country. Your Majesty, you should let General Yan, who has the highest prestige in the court, rectify the situation as soon as possible. "It seems that Liu Jing has reached a consensus with General Yan.

The king was thoughtful......

Prince's Mansion.

The news of the princess and her relatives spread quickly, and the prince's mansion had long known that Qin Yu was playing chess with Zimo at this time.

"I said, how can Your Highness be so calm at this moment?" Zimo looked at the prince, but he still couldn't see any change in the expression on his face.

"Or else?" Qin Yu was still engrossed in thinking about how to move next.

"The princess is not only the pearl of the king's palm, but also your sister, is Your Highness really willing to let the princess marry in the bitter cold land of Xiyi Kingdom!" Zimo still knew Qin Yu, and he knew that Qin Yu would definitely find a way to save Her Royal Highness the princess at this time.

"As the old saying goes, the world is like chess. In reality, everyone is like a chess player, and every one of their actions is like laying a piece on an invisible chessboard, and the shrewd and prudent chess players figure out each other, contain each other, and everyone competes to win, playing many wonderful and varied chess games••••••" Qin Yu said here and slowly put down the chess pieces in his hand.

"It's called a 'game' !!" Qin Yu said word by word.

"Then Your Highness has come up with a way?" Zimo saw that His Highness said so calmly.

"There is a way! It's just ......" Qin Yu looked at Zimo at this time.

"Just what??" Zimo asked.

"It's just that I'll have to bother you this time!" Qin Yu said with a smile.

"I ???" Zimo was even more puzzled, His Royal Highness the Prince's thoughts were always incomprehensible.

"Ever since the last incident, my father has been suspicious of me. So what I said, my father may not be willing to take it? Qin Yu said that there was still some pain in his heart: "But there is a person who is quite suitable to do this?" ”

"Who can carry enough weight and be able to speak well. The most important thing is that this person has enough weight on the king's side, and he is also a person who is willing to share the worries of His Highness? Zimo still couldn't guess.

"This person is the eldest son of Xiangguo Mansion - Beigong Zheng." Qin Yu said lightly, as if he already knew everything about Beigong Zheng.

"You mean my big brother!" Zimo was surprised when he heard this.

After all, this eldest prince has no friendship with the crown prince, and what he does is what his father allows him to do. Basically, he rarely makes any mistakes, and he is also very strict with himself, which is not an easy task to convince the eldest brother after all.

"Huh...... Tomorrow, you just need to invite him out, and leave the rest to me! ”

"It's just that why is the person chosen by His Highness for this matter my eldest brother?" Zimo was puzzled.

"It is more than enough to do this with the wisdom and resourcefulness of the eldest prince, he is a man who is proficient in the provisions of laws and administrative affairs, and makes good use of Confucian classics, so that his manners and conversations are extraordinary, and he is well versed in reasoning, and he is quite valued by the king, and he is good at figuring out the thoughts of the king, and there is nothing that does not conform to the king's wishes." Qin Yu also knows a lot about the eldest prince of Xiangguo.

"But why not my father?" Zimo asked.

At this time, Yue'er pushed the door in: "That's because your father is like a post-60s or 70s, and your eldest brother is barely a post-80s, so your father's thinking is absolutely pedantic and conservative, your eldest brother's words may be able to rebel against him, am I right, Your Highness?" ”

"You're getting more and more unruly, who allows you to eavesdrop outside the door?" Qin Yu was also speechless to Yue'er.

"I just passed by and accidentally overheard, huh...... Accidentally! Yue'er said with a smile.

Qin Yu was speechless at this time, not wanting to step on her.
