In the dead of night, Zhao De, the emperor of Nanliguo, really couldn't sleep, and looked at Shen Leng, who also couldn't sleep over there, and couldn't help but ask: "The so-called big country, can you do whatever you want?" ”

Shen Leng looked out the window and nodded: "Yes." ”

Zhao De couldn't help but ask again: "The big country claims to maintain justice and justice, and reassure the people of the world, where there is injustice and injustice, the big country will directly intervene, these are all nonsense?" ”

Shen Leng thought for a while and nodded: "Yes." ”

Zhao De sighed: "Sure enough, this is how South Vietnam was destroyed. ”

Shen Leng withdrew his gaze from the window: "I will also ask myself, whether I uphold the heart of justice in this way, no matter how many excuses I make for myself, it is not after all, the game between countries, where is there any justice and injustice, people have good and evil, and things have good and evil, but ...... After all, I am a Ning person, a military general of the Ning army. ”

Zhao De felt extremely depressed in his chest: "I heard that Yang Yu, the emperor of Nanyue, wanted to unite countries to resist Daning, and it was not at all like the rumored goats who ate cabbage, and only ordinary people felt credible and felt that Daning was domineering, and Yang Yu also wrote to me at that time, but because I was far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, I didn't even bother to reply to the letter." ”

Shen Leng said: "Emperor Qiu Liguo Ruan Tengyuan replied to Yang Yu, and swore that once Nanyue was attacked by Daning, although it was separated by the sea, Qiu Lili would definitely go all out to help Nanyue, do you believe this?" ”

"I don't believe it."

Zhao De was silent for a while, and then smiled self-deprecatingly: "The most hypocritical group of people in the world is actually the most powerful group of people, such as Ruan Tengyuan, Yang Yu, and I, of course, including your Emperor Majesty Daning. ”

"He's different."

Shen Leng said: "He doesn't need too much hypocrisy anymore. ”

Zhao De pondered for a moment and felt that it made sense.

"You killed the prince of the Miao Kingdom, this Miao Kingdom is not a bloodless person, if they kill you, it is not a difficult thing, I heard that the emperor's favorite is the prince Shi Changhua, he is now sad and there are ministers to dissuade you from being safe, if he comes to his senses, he may not dare to kill you, and killing you is not just a way on the surface, after all, this is the country of Qiao."

Shen sneered: "You say, am I quite annoying?" ”

Zhao Deleng paused for a moment, and said in his heart how to ask such a naïve and superficial question, but he replied very seriously: "Very annoying." ”

Shen Leng sat quietly on the chair for a while, his eyes were a little dazed: "When I first learned these things with my husband, I thought that I would not need them...... When I never thought of using it, there was no psychological pressure, I killed Shi Changhua, half out of consideration for Daning and half out of selfishness, selfish things don't need to be said, it's about Daning, it's actually very simple. “

He glanced at Zhao De: "Let me ask you one thing, can Daning be ten percent sure of defeating Qiu Li at sea?" ”

Zhao De thought about it seriously, he didn't understand Daning's strength, thinking that Shen Leng's style of acting like this was Daning's style, and it would be okay to defeat Qiu Li in most cases, so he nodded: "It should be possible." ”

"Yes, but not necessarily."

Shen Leng said: "The Daning Naval Division is now beginning to take shape, but the total strength adds up to only more than 60,000 people, even if the previous battle with the Qiuli people almost completely annihilated the Beihai Division, killing more than 30,000 enemies, the total number of the Sailing Divisions is still more than 100,000, and the scale of the ships is also stronger than Daning, fighting on land, if I say that Daning can easily destroy the five Qiuli, it is not an exaggeration, but at sea, many variables, Qiuli has always relied on naval warfare to eat, Daning is not." ”

"The Miao side seems to be very close to Daning, but if Daning and Qiuli's naval battle is defeated, the attitude of the Miao Kingdom will naturally change, as far as I know, the crown prince Shi Changhua and Qiuli's side have always been negotiating, if he ascends the throne, it will improve the relationship between the two countries......"

Shen Leng breathed a sigh of relief: "I kill Shi Changhua, the people of the Ao Kingdom will not directly kill me for the time being, if I don't kill Shi Changhua, Shi Changhua will also kill me...... Only by killing me, the relationship between the country and Daning will deteriorate, and he will be able to clean up Shi Dongcheng, although this choice is a bit short-sighted, but it is extremely beneficial to him, and it is not too late to seek change after sitting on the throne, but Shi Dongcheng and I will die after all. ”

Shen Leng looked at Zhao De: "Even if you are in a cage now, are you dead?" ”

Zhao De was silent and shook his head.

"I'm the same, how can I let the people who want to kill me keep thinking about my head."

Shen Leng stood up and walked to the window, he was not afraid to tell Zhao De these things, Zhao De was no longer an emperor, but a prisoner, if he was a smart person, he would understand that Shen Leng could save his life.

Shen Leng looked at Zhao De: "I can catch you here from Nanli, and after destroying Qiu Li in the future, I can also send you back to continue to be the emperor, even if you have a new emperor in Nanli, it doesn't matter, if Qiu Li is destroyed, Daning's soldiers will be able to run rampant on this land." ”

Zhao De nodded subconsciously, he didn't know whether to believe the words of this madman, in his eyes Shen Leng was a complete madman, it seemed that Ning people were all madmen.

"You haven't answered my question yet, what if the Emperor Shi Chang is determined to kill you? A Shi Dongcheng can't protect you. ”

"Shi Dongcheng wants to kill me even more."

Shen Leng snorted lightly: "It's just that they are all suppressed, the emperor is still hesitating, he is thinking about the pros and cons, and this all depends on the battle situation at sea, Daning wins, he kills me is equivalent to declaring war on Daning, although I am just a five-grade general, but Emperor Daning has never been reasonable, and there is no need to be reasonable, Daning can fight others, others can't fight Daning, it has always been so unreasonable, how many times has the real person on Longhu Mountain praised His Majesty Daning for his benevolence and generosity, I am afraid that I don't believe it in private...... The most dangerous time when Shi Chang wanted to kill me was over, and the moment I killed his son was the most dangerous moment for me. ”

Zhao De shook his head: "But he is a dead son after all, he is always the emperor, it is not difficult to kill you." ”

Shen Leng said: "You underestimated Shi Dongcheng. ”

"Huh?"

Zhao De was stunned: "It's just a prince who is not welcomed, what do you need to pay attention to?" ”

Shen Leng looked out, now in the capital of this country, I'm afraid that the killers listed on the Yangtai ticket number are here, after so many years of operation, whether the Yangtai ticket number is in Nanyue or Daning at the beginning, or seeking to stand, how many Jianghu guests have been bought by relying on strong financial resources? I'm afraid that even Shi Dongcheng himself can't remember it, these people are a rabble, but they have their value.

After Zhao Desi thought about it, why did Shen Leng say that he underestimated Shi Dongcheng? He knew that Shi Dongcheng was sent to Daning by Emperor Shi Chang to be a proton many years ago, and only the least valued and least liked children would be sent out.

Couldn't Shi Dongcheng think of this?

He is the one who is not distressed by others when he dies, he is cautious and trembling everywhere in Daning, speaking of which, he is really tantamount to going to death, Emperor Daning just didn't take him seriously, if he takes it seriously, he can really be safe? Emperor Daning really didn't know that in addition to the people who wanted to establish the country, there were also people from the country who pretended to be the people who wanted to establish the Haijiang.

Moreover, Shi Dongcheng can be a man, he spares no effort to pull in the relationship between the country and Daning, and spares no effort to worry about Daning's maritime affairs, and all the information he can obtain is handed over to the Tingwei Mansion, and he will never use this to negotiate conditions, which is enough to show that he is much smarter than Shi Changhua.

Shi Chang has eight sons, the eldest son is also the crown prince Shi Changhua is dead, the seventh son is disabled and a little stupid, the eighth son is young, and the other five sons have all died in the past few years, many accidents, many disasters, but if it has nothing to do with Shi Changhua, who believes it?

Now there are only two people the emperor can choose, one is Shi Dongcheng, and the other is the young old eight Shi Yuande, the affairs of the heavenly family have always been the most ruthless, if the old eight Shi Yuande is chosen, Shi Dongcheng will accept his duty with peace of mind?

Imperial.

Shi Dongcheng knelt in front of the emperor's bed and pleaded with a bowl of medicine, he had been begging for a while, but the emperor didn't even look at him.

"Father, I know that my father doesn't like me, he thinks that the blood in my body is not pure, when he sent me to Daning, my father must have thought that if I can't come back, I can't come back...... But my father can't spoil his body because he doesn't like me, if I hadn't come to deliver the medicine, my father would have drunk it, right? This bowl of medicine is placed here, and in the future, I will ask the chamberlain to send the medicine over, hoping that my father will drink the medicine, and if he doesn't like me, I will appear less, and after the envoys sent by Daning come to deal with Shen Leng in the future, the son will go back with Daning's envoys. ”

Shi Dongcheng stood up and put down the medicine bowl, turned around and walked out.

"You hate me, don't you?"

The Emperor asked suddenly.

One did not call himself a son, and the other did not call himself me.

At this moment, it is still father and son.

"Yes."

Shi Dongcheng's answer was simple and direct, without the slightest concealment.

"I don't have a choice who gave birth to me."

Shi Dongcheng looked back at the emperor who had already sat up: "Who is my mother has no choice, who is my father has not been chosen, how to live seems to have no choice, my mother has always lived like a slave because of her humble background, is there a good result?" Have you taken pity on you? Did my mother do something sorry for you or did I do something sorry for you? None of them, just because you don't like it, so ...... Why can't I hate you? ”

He smiled: "But I am a son after all, and if I want to kill you, I have to endure it." ”

Shi Chang's face changed, and after being silent for a long time, he sighed: "If I let you assist Yuande in the future, will you kill him?" ”

"Have you asked Shi Changhua?"

Shi Dongcheng asked rhetorically.

Shi Chang sneered: "I know you can't, you want to be the emperor!" But I will never give you the throne, son, and there is a choice for the father. ”

Shi Dongcheng also sneered: "Kill me? ”

Shi Chang shouted outside: "Someone! ”

Shi Dongcheng looked out, no one came in, and looked at the emperor again: "Are you disappointed?" ”

Shi Dongcheng walked back and sat down next to the emperor: "Father, I have already thought about it for you before, you can only kill me, and then you can live a few more years to hand over the country to Yuande, who grew up, you ask me if I will assist him, if you choose Yuande at the beginning, I will, but you chose Shi Changhua at the beginning, so let me be willing to be a slave and wait until Yuande grows up to take over the country?" You are really naïve, father, none of those courtiers out there are as naïve as you. ”

He patted the emperor on the shoulder: "I always hate you, but I won't kill you, my mother said, don't hurt your father After all, it's your father, and the title of father can make you do whatever you want?" You live, but your loyal courtiers are already looking forward to my accession, do you know why? Because I was close to Daning, they were afraid, and they had no choice. ”

Shi Dongcheng walked out: "I know that you have arranged for someone to kill Shen Leng in the past two days, and there are people in the court who want to kill Shen Leng, but father, you have forgotten that it is my job to run a killer business...... A few people died in the court, and a few people died in the palace, but I was worried that you couldn't stand it yet, so I didn't let anyone tell you. ”

He took out a list from his bosom and threw it on the ground: "Those who have died, and those who are about to die are here, you can see for yourself." ”
