King Qi's eyes closed and opened again, with sadness, anger, unwillingness, and regret in his eyes. He looked at Xu Zixian and said slowly: "I have a million family assets, but I can't give it to you, the old ministry is dismissed and resettled, and a lot of money is needed, and the daily operation of the palace, expenses, and the use of the princess and the princes are all within my consideration." If I have a good way of making money, and I have thousands of family fortunes in hand, then I can give you the rest except the necessary money......"

Xu Zixian was ashamed and said: "How can the little nephew He De, ask Uncle Wang to say such a thing." ”

"Qizhou can be abandoned, but the Eastern Domain cannot be lost." King Qi said: "My life is still there, King Zhao will have some scruples when he acts, Lin Douyao and others dare to stand up to him, Qizhou will be handed over to him, this is on the side of Fuzhou, you can't hold it." ”

"But ......" Xu Zixian's expression was a little hesitant, Qizhou is a big island that lies across the heart of the river and is close to the sea, Qizhou Port is a natural harbor, and controlling this port, Xu Zixian is equivalent to choking Fuzhou's throat.

"I know," King Qi said, "the Eastern Domain, Qizhou, and Nan'an are equivalent to a chain that will wear up your foundation." But Qizhou is in your hands, and King Zhao is difficult to eat, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have risked his life against me. ”

King Qi took a breath with difficulty, and then continued: "If you don't take a step back, King Zhao's choices and ways of acting will be more radical, and in the short term, you will not be able to fight it head-on. ”

Xu Zixian nodded slightly, this is not a Jingshi.

The forbidden army in Beijing is not easy to move, and the local garrison is different.

The forbidden army mastered by King Zhao can be easily mobilized, and with the current strength of the Nan'an regiment, he can fight head-on with the forbidden army twice as large as himself, and Xu Zixian does not dare to say that he has a certain degree of confidence.

In addition, after all, King Zhao is the father of the Son of Heaven, the deputy governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion on Fujian Road, and his identity and power are far above Xu Zixian, and there is a war dispute between the two sides, outsiders will only think that Xu Zixian rebelled, not that King Zhao acted unruly.

With preconceived ideas, even if Xu Zixian's current prestige is not low, it is still almost impossible to subdue King Zhao and win at this moment.

"That's all it can be." Xu Zixian nodded and said, "Since you can't get it, then give up...... Originally, I wanted to put the training place of the water camp in Qizhou Port, but since Uncle Wang said so, I moved to the Eastern Domain. ”

"Actually, in addition to the Eastern Domain, there is another place, King Zhao and they won't care, you can get it in your hands, but it will help you more in terms of manpower and materials, take advantage of this concession, I will invite Lin Douyao and Zheng Liqi, Xiao Zan, Yang Shiwei They are all invited to get Penghu for you......"

"Penghu?" Xu Zixian's eyes lit up and said: "If the port of Qizhou is important, Penghu is indeed much stronger than the port of Qizhou. ”

Although the port of Qizhou is important, it is located at the mouth of the Minjiang River, too close to the inland.

Penghu is different, between the Eastern Domain and the mainland, it is the throat of the Eastern Domain, the key to the lock, there is Penghu is difficult for foreign ships to enter the sea surface of the Eastern Domain, and enter the Penghu that attacks Zhangquan Fu Zhuzhou, across the sea, is also of great help to the merchant ships in the southeast of Fujian and Zhejiang, a large number of merchant ships along the coast to Luzon or the Japanese State, are to Penghu to replenish the water.

After years of development, Penghu has a population of tens of thousands, distributed on dozens of islands, Penghu has a county order, a county commander, a county lieutenant army garrison, the most important is Penghu's naval force, that is the most important garrison force.

"I want to ask you to be the observer of the Fujian Road Water Division in Penghu, you said that the Qishan thieves may be in trouble, and it is necessary to strengthen vigilance, and this king will bluntly say that the Fujian Road Water Master is old and tired, and needs to have competent personnel to preside over military and political training, you are very suitable. Taking into account the observation of the Eastern Domain, so that the thousands of troops in Chen Duzhong are also captured, the Eastern Domain, Penghu, is your real foundation......"

When King Qi said this, he was already quite tired, and his speech was actually not too physically demanding, but he was deeply poisoned, although he was detoxified, but his physical and mental strength was too much to sustain.

"As for the forbidden army, you can't intervene now, and your prestige is not enough to control the forbidden army." King Qi sighed, he seemed to be ten years old in an instant, he looked at Xu Zixian and said, "I may not live long, and there is not much I can do for you." I have sons and daughters, I have no shame in my life, there is nothing to worry about in family affairs, my family is a hereditary prince's family, and I don't need you to take care of it, Mingda, what I'm worried about is the overall situation now, it seems that Dawei has not been in the way, but I understand in my heart that a little carelessness is a catastrophe. You are a good disciple in the clan, and there is no shortage of ability, wrists, and scheming, and the only thing I am worried about is that because of your past with King Zhao, personal grudges will affect state affairs. You have to promise me one thing, no matter what, don't harm the public with your own interests, when you have the opportunity to serve Dawei, you must put aside your personal grievances and put state affairs first, can you promise me? ”

King Qi's eyes were firmly fixed on Xu Zixian, with some expectations, some doubts, and more eagerness.

King Qi is convinced that he will not look away, no matter how Xu Zixian behaves, his endowment is benevolent......

"Uncle Wang, I promise you." Xu Zixian took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his emotions, Rao was like this, and his eyes were red.

"There is no need to be like this...... King Qi smiled with considerable relief, and said: "In a hundred years of life, there is no immortal, nothing more than sooner or later. I am already over the age of six, and I have been rich and noble all my life, and I have created a foundation for my children and grandchildren, so why should I die? The most proud thing is to cultivate talents like you for the clan and for the Great Wei, and you are in the age of bravery, and you can at least protect the territory and the people for the Great Wei for forty years, I am right about the ancestors, and I am right about all the people around me, and I have no regrets......"

"Uncle Wang, rest." Xu Zi got up first and said, "I have stayed in Fucheng for the past few days, and I can come to listen to Uncle Wang's teachings at any time." ”

King Qi smiled and said, "You better go, otherwise Fuzhou will also make you unpeaceful." ”

Xu Zixian said: "What if they don't stop? Now is a great opportunity. I also have to give Lord Lin a choice. ”

"What are you going to do?" King Qi's eyes sharpened, and he said, "Transfer a battalion to train into the state city?" Fight in the city, kill a river of blood? ”

Xu Zi was silent for a while, but he couldn't deny it.

In any case, the other party failed to poison him, and judging from the attitude of surrounding himself and confronting him, he may not want to eradicate himself on the spot, and he will be a hundred.

If you can get rid of King Qi again, although it is like a coup, but the Son of Heaven is the son of King Zhao, ordinary people who kill people must be punished by the law, and it is still a matter for big people to kill people?

Didn't Xu Zixian also slaughter the governor, unlike no one else, he patted his ass and went back to Fuzhou?

If King Zhao took advantage of the situation to pursue, take advantage of the chaos to grasp Fuzhou, kill the King of Qi, kill the important forbidden army and Xiang army officers who obeyed the King of Qi, and then coerce Lin Douyao to approve this matter, Xu Zixian still wants to take a step back like the King of Qi to keep the Eastern Domain, win Penghu, and leave Nan'an?

Isn't this a fool's dream?

Political affairs, in the Great Wei is a zero-sum game, only one side loses, one side wins, there is no common winner, there is no compromise, there is no reconciliation, as long as you do it, you must live and die, because since the pre-Qin period, China is actually not a feudal system, there is no mutual involvement of large and small nobles, it is a typical centralized system, and the centralized power is becoming more and more powerful.

Under this system, there is only a winner-takes-all, there is no win-win, and there is no peace after concessions.

As long as King Zhao really succeeds, of course he will eat it all, and he will definitely not let Xu Zixian go.

"I've thought about it." King Qi said: "You can go with confidence, leave the city tomorrow morning, and wait for news in Qizhou first, but you can raise the alert level in Qizhou and Nan'an, and let people with a heart see that you are not easy to handle...... That's it! ”

As King Qi spoke, his expression became very serious, and Xu Zi was not allowed to refute first.

"Okay." Xu Zi got up first to say goodbye, hugged his fists and said, "Uncle Wang is resting." ”

……

"You should take care of it, and don't be negligent or careless." After going out, he called a few doctors over, and Xu Zixian said with a serious expression: "Maybe you should only treat one prince, but think about it carefully, what will happen if there is no King Qi on Fujian Road?" ”

Several doctors suddenly looked awe-struck and clasped their fists and said yes.

Xu Zixian felt a little relieved, before this, these doctors were working to prove their medical skills, or to pay a generous consultation, and from this moment on, they were working for a noble thing, and the two realms were different, and there might be subtle differences.

In fact, it's just psychological comfort......

Xu Zixian can only hope that King Qi will wake up sooner, and then hold on for half a year, or even a year, a year and a half?

Of course, this is also delusional, and it is already quite good that a person who has been poisoned so deeply can wake up, be initially sober, and speak calmly. Due to the toxicity penetrating deep into the internal organs, there will inevitably be many complications later, and it will become more and more serious, it will not take too long, at most two or three months, and the king of Qi will be terminally ill until it is irreversible.

But this time is also enough, according to the arrangement of King Qi, Xu Zixian will try his best to grasp the Eastern Domain and Penghu, and keep the basic plate of Nan'an in Fuzhou...... Nan'an is the place where Nan'an Hou's fiefdom is located, here Xu Zi first plans to ask for a few hundred more official households, with the original official households, group training, ports, docks, and leave these supporting facilities and personnel in Nan'an, and wait for a nail outside the city of Ruofu, which can make King Zhao sleep and eat.

Qizhou can't be saved, and now Xu Zixian understands that Qizhou is too important, and he knows Qizhou, the defense envoy, and Shangzhai are all commanding, these are all ladders to higher military and political official positions.

The appointment of Xu Zixian is undoubtedly paving the way for him.

Now that he has won a big victory, Xu Zixian has the strength and prestige, and the ten-year period is always enough, right? King Zhao was also more than sixty years later, and the civil officials were seventy, but the military official position was not suitable for such an old age, and if the king of Qi was still there, he could contact a force, and in the name of old age, he proposed that the king of Zhao give way to Xu Zixian, who had just passed the year of establishment.

At that time, Xu Zixian would definitely make more contributions, combing all the troops on Fujian Road, prestige, military power, all of which were superior, due to the large number of official households, he had quite a lot of resources, and his financial resources should not be underestimated. At that time, he will be crowned as the Duke of the State and the Governor of Fujian Road, in charge of the entire road army, and he can be promoted to command the forbidden army in wartime, and at such a point, the King of Qi can really rest assured!

It's not that King Qi has a deep personal relationship with Xu Zixian, in fact, the two rarely talk about private matters when they meet, and they don't even talk about private matters at all. This is the meticulous support and help of the first to the latecomer, Xu Zixian is nothing more than the successor of King Qi.
