The next day, Li Yiqian returned to the Qiangong after leaving the court, and went to the secret prison where Gongsun Ce was located for the first time.

Although it is a dark prison, it is still very neatly furnished, like a small room that comes out alone. Because Li Yiqian had a certain purpose for Gongsun Ce from the beginning, he treated him quite preferentially, except that he could not enter and exit freely, and his residence changed, the rest was no different from his daily life in Huaguo. There are even books prepared inside for him to pass the time.

Hearing the sound, Gongsun Ce raised his head and looked out the door.

"Is it okay for your Excellency to stay here?" Li Yiqian motioned to the person next to him to open the door, and walked in as he spoke.

"Ce is just a prisoner, so what is the best thing to talk about? It's already a blessing to be able to save this life. Gongsun Ce said, "How can the Emperor of Huaguo have the strength to come to see Gu today?" ”

In fact, what he said is not against his will, he doesn't have to be afraid that his identity will be exposed all the time when he lives here, and he doesn't have to guard against the people around him, looking at Li Yiqian's appearance, he doesn't have to worry that they will poison him. It couldn't be better, except for the limited movement. It's just that he is still a little worried about the situation outside.

Glancing back, signaling them to stay outside, Li Yiqian closed the door. Unexpectedly, Gongsun Ce's provocative voice came from behind.

"Dare to come in alone, is the Emperor of Huaguo so confident in himself? Aren't you afraid that Lone will kill you? You must know that Lone's skills are not weak. ”

"Huh." Li Yiqian chuckled, "I know that Your Excellency is a smart person, and I like to deal with smart people, because they know what to do and what not to do, and they will not risk their lives. Are you right? ”

Gongsun Ce didn't pay any attention to him, still sitting there not knowing what book he was looking at.

"I have a deal I want to talk to you, I don't know if you're interested." Li Yiqian did not dislike the conditions here, and sat directly opposite Gongsun Ce.

"The Emperor of Huaguo still calls Gu's name, it sounds a little awkward to call Your Excellency all the time." Gongsun Ce listened to Li Yiqian's speech in a crepe manner, and it was very uncomfortable to listen to. There is always a feeling of being plotted.

"Okay, Prince Ce, I wonder if you have any thoughts on making a deal with me?"

"I don't know what kind of deal it is, you must know that Ce is just a prisoner in a cage now, what else can the Emperor of Huaguo look at?" Gongsun Ce's tone was a little self-deprecating.

"Why should the prince be arrogant, I have received the news, and now the envoy group of the Lan Kingdom is about to arrive in Huajing. Although it is in the name of congratulating me on my birthday, what the real purpose is, I don't think I need to say that the prince can understand it, right? Seeing that he wanted to play Tai Chi with himself, Li Yiqian was not annoyed. Because he knew that the chips in his hand had a fatal temptation for Gongsun Ce, he would definitely compromise.

Gongsun Ce didn't answer, he put down the book in his hand, stared at Li Yiqian, and the scene quieted down.

"I can guarantee that this matter will definitely be beneficial and harmless to the prince, after all, the current situation of the prince will be much better if I help." Li Yiqian threw out the bait, as long as Gongsun Ce could understand what he meant, then he would naturally agree.

Gongsun Ce was a little hesitant, listening to the meaning of Li Yiqian's words, he seemed to know something, but he couldn't be sure how much he knew. But this incident was a lifelong shame for him, and now that an emperor of another country knew about it, Gongsun Ce's heart was very excited: "How much do you know! ”

"I know a lot about that, but don't worry, I'm not a woman with a long tongue, and the news won't get out. After all, there are times when people are subject to others, and I am the same now. Although the specific situation is different, in essence, they are forced to do things they don't like. It would be better for the prince to think about my proposal, it would be a win-win situation. ”

Knowing that Gongsun Ce was the most taboo in his heart for others to say this, Li Yiqian skillfully changed the topic. After all, he wanted to form an alliance, not an enmity. If you really provoke Gongsun Ce and die with him, it will be more than worth the loss. Although he was confident that he could win against Gongsun Ce, who knew if there was anything strange about him. You must know that for him, the people of Languo have always been very mysterious, or people avoid them.

When Gongsun Ce calmed down, he looked at Li Yiqian with sharp eyes and asked, "Do you want to threaten Gu?" ”

"No, no, no, Prince Ce misunderstood, I just want to make a deal."

Looking at Li Yiqian's appearance was not like a joke, Gongsun Ce decided to hear what his "deal" was. "Tell me about it."

"I will help you take the country of Lan with the power of China, and you will sign a century-old friendship agreement with my country in the name of Lan country." Yes, a centennial friendship agreement. Li Yiqian has never felt that there is only a hostile relationship between countries, and if it can be handled well, it may not be impossible to achieve a win-win situation.

"Hmph, you know that Lone can't make such a decision. Lone is just the emperor's brother, if this news spreads, I'm afraid the first unlucky one will be Lone. Besides, you are far away in China, how can you help orphans? Gongsun Ce scoffed at his proposal, and the Emperor of Huaguo was indeed too young.

"Of course, I will not announce this news now, but I will wait until the day when the prince of Ce will take power before announcing it to the world, so that it will be worthwhile. As for how to help you, I naturally have people available in my hands, and if the border war starts, I will drive the expedition in person, will Gongsun You still sit in the imperial city? Wouldn't that be the opportunity for the prince then? Li Yiqian thought about these things a long time ago, and now he talks about them eloquently.

"How can Lone believe you?" Li Yiqian was right, Gongsun Ce was really moved. Over the years, in addition to being quite happy in those days in China, Gongsun Ce has almost forgotten that he is still an upright man, a man with the royal blood of the Lan Kingdom.

What a humiliation for a seven-foot man to crouch under another man, Gongsun Ce had long had enough of the feeling of being ridiculed. That's why he tried every means to persuade him to let himself be in charge of Huaguo's affairs, nominally for Languo, but in fact secretly developing his power.

Maybe Gongsun You sensed his thoughts, but he was always very conceited and wouldn't take this little trick of him to heart. So I was relieved to let him come out, maybe I felt that he was more likely to make people want to conquer because he was wild.

Looking at Gongsun Ce's deeper and deeper eyes, Li Yiqian coughed lightly, watched him come back to his senses, and then spoke: "I will make a covenant with Prince Ce, one for you and one for me, and it says that when the overall situation of Lan Kingdom is stable, it will be the time when Hualan and the two countries sign a century-old friendship contract. I don't know what the prince thinks? ”

Gongsun Ce thought about it for a while, but he really didn't expect Li Yiqian to get any benefits from it, and asked with some doubts: "What is your purpose in doing this?" ”

It is unlikely to say that Li Yiqian is to use himself to get Languo, after all, although the customs and customs of various countries are different, but the promise is the consensus of the people of the world, once Li Yiqian signed a contract with himself, if he violates it in the future, even if he is the emperor, he will be despised by the people of the world, and I am afraid that it will be remembered in the history books for thousands of years.

"For love, for profit." Li Yiqian said the answer without thinking.

Yes, love and profit. He was afraid that there were still people in the harem who were related to Lan Guo, and if he formed an alliance with Gongsun Ce, then many dangers could be prevented in advance, which was also for the sake of Lin Yaxin and their children. As for profit, only when a country settles down can it concentrate on developing commerce and agriculture, so that the people can live a good life. Although he was not a philanthropic person, he also wanted the people under his rule to no longer starve to death or sell their children and daughters.

Although there are many ways to do it, he still feels that cooperating with Gongsun Ce is the fastest and safest way. After all, Gongsun You is a very mysterious person, and the one who has the most contact with him in the whole world is probably this imperial brother, and the one who hates him the most should be Gongsun Ce.

And after Gongsun Ce listened to his words, he seemed to remember the rumors he had heard when he was outside the palace, Li Yiqian seemed to have a person who loved him deeply. It is not impossible for a woman to be soft-hearted, if it is for her. "Lone promises you."

He took into account not only the relationship between interests, but also the fact that Li Yiqian has weaknesses, and people with weaknesses are more trustworthy. After all, having a weakness means that you need to worry about doing things in many cases, and when it really matters, this weakness may not be the key to turning defeat into victory.

Although he knew that Gongsun Ce would not refuse, Li Yiqian was still relieved to hear that he had agreed in person. "Then I am waiting to go to Languo in the future to congratulate Prince Ce on his enthronement! Just tell them what you need here, and they'll do their best to accommodate you. ”

"Then the Emperor of Chenghua Kingdom will say auspicious."

None of them mentioned the matter of signing the treaty at this time, because Gongsun Ce was taken by someone halfway, so it was definitely impossible to carry things like seals with him, and all this could not be carried out until the envoy of the Lan Kingdom went to Huajing to negotiate with Li Yiqian's people secretly.

"I'll go back first, and the prince can think about our deal again. If there are any new plans, they can send me a message at any time. After Li Yiqian finished speaking, seeing that Gongsun Ce didn't have any special expression, he left first.

And after Li Yiqian left, Gongsun Ce revealed his shock.

How did the Emperor of Huaguo know about that? There are not many people who know in Languo, how could he ...... when he saw that those people were all executed by himself Could it be that his power in the land of Lan has reached such a strong point? But the rise of such a strange force, how could Gongsun You not notice it? He couldn't figure it out, but no one here was going to give him an answer.
