For the crown prince, King Xian felt more and more dissatisfied and disappointed.

"The widow is tired, let's disperse!"

"No!"

Everyone spoke in unison, and each withdrew from the side hall, only Bailiyan was still standing in place, and King Xian asked:

"What else does Yongxing Hou have to report?" King Xian rubbed his temples, and his face was not very good.

"The king of Qiqi, the minister has something to do, and I ask the king to borrow a step to speak."

"Okay, come on, give the widow permission."

The disappointment of the crown prince and Xihuan's fear made King Xian easily dare not get angry, and it was inevitable that he would be hurt for so long.

Four inner palace wrestlers carried the chariot to the Baihua Pavilion in the imperial garden, April is the season when the flowers are blooming and fragrant and pleasant, but the king of Xian has no temperament to watch, he retreated left and right, and the king of Xian leaned on the chariot with his spirits.

"Yongxing Hou, what do you need to report secretly?"

"King Qiyu, the current situation is that the King of Jin is coercing, the eldest grandson has no one in his eyes, and there are all kinds of rumors in the city, slandering the king and insulting the Xianguo. In addition, the minister was also worried that the news of the eldest grandson's alliance would reach Zhiguo, and King Zhi and Tao Yong were afraid that I would betray him and betray my country first. Therefore, the minister suggested that our country should send troops to Zhiguo as soon as possible to strike first. ”

"Send troops as soon as possible? The Jin State and the Song State 250,000 horses were stationed outside the city, and if they attacked our hinterland, where would the widows send troops to rescue? ”

"The king, this time it is the alliance, the Jin State and the eldest grandson entered the alliance of our country without the consent of our country, and its name is not right, the countries of Xu and the West Sea are all waiting and watching, and if they raise troops to attack me, they will lose their trust in the world, and it will be difficult to win the trust of the countries of Weiguo, Xu, and Xihai. Therefore, before the arrival of Wei, Xu and the countries of the West Sea, he resolutely did not dare to make a big move.

And if our army and Zhiguo arrived before the lords of Weiguo, Xu, and Xihai arrived at the Xianguo Alliance, and attacked Sun State strongly, and lightly took all the counties east of the Sishui River, Wei, Xu, Zhao, Yan and other countries would not go to the alliance, and they would inevitably immediately send troops to besiege the Black Turban and occupy the territory. In this way, the matter of the eldest grandson and the Jin alliance no longer exists, and this is the weight of the two interests. ”

"Aiqing, although the widow is not familiar with military affairs, he also knows that there are eight counties east of the Sishui River, which is twice the size of my Xian country, how can it be easily captured in a few months?"

"One person is needed here, and if this person can be used, it will be easy for our army to capture the four counties, but it needs the king's approval."

"Who is it?"

Bai Liyan paused for a moment and said carefully:

"Gongsun Yue."

"Him! Why him? ”

"The Black Turban Army can have today, half of which is due to Gongsun Yue, who has a lot of connections in the Eloquent Dao, and now the Black Turban is the end of the tree, the general trend of the world is becoming clearer, and all countries are trying to plot the land of Sun Guo and are ready to move, which is strong and which is weak. The Xiong Dao is different from the Foolish School, the Xiong Dao works in Tao, what the situation is, they are very clear, and they have to leave a way back.

If Gongsun Yue can be persuaded to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, or at least provide some convenience for our army, as long as he promises to protect their lives in the future, the minister thinks that it is not impossible to quickly take the four counties.

Once the east of the Sishui River is returned to the Xian State and the Zhi State, there will not be much left to the west of the Sishui River for the Changsun, Liang State, Wei State, Xu State, and Yan State, and where will Wei Guo and Xu State still have time to sit and wait for the division of the alliance. ”

Thinking of Gongsun Yue again, the past is still vivid, Xu thought of the past when he met Gongsun Yue when he was young, and a little nostalgia flashed in King Xian's eyes. After being silent for a long time, King Xian said in a very low voice:

"The widow hates Gongsun Yue, but he doesn't hate him either. If there is no Gongsun Yue, the widow will not be the king today, if there is no Gongsun Yue, how can the widow meet Aiqing, where can he harvest the land of the four counties. If Aiqing thinks it can be used, use it, and you can go to Jiang Haoti at any time. ”

"The king is benevolent, presumably Gongsun Yue will be grateful for the king's kindness and atone for the merits of the Xianguo."

"I hope so......"

King Xian's words were full of gloom, and it could be seen that King Xian was still grateful in his heart, grateful to Gongsun Yue for seeking the throne for him, even if it was to use him to mess up the Xianguo country, but the throne brought him tangible benefits.

Regardless of the losses during Gongsun Yue's reign, the current strength of the Xian State alone is not something that the King of Xian can imagine, not to mention the four counties that will be annexed will nearly double the territory of the Xian Kingdom.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and King Xian changed his words and said to Jiang Can:

"Aiqing, the widow wants to let Can'er learn more practical skills, Aiqing thinks where to start?"

Suddenly mentioning this matter, Bai Liyan quickly realized that King Xian most likely wanted to pass on the throne to Jiang Can in the future. After a moment's thought, he said:

"If the king loves his son, he should let the prince suffer some hardships and understand the sufferings and warmth of the people. As the saying goes, first bitter and then sweet, only by eating bitter can you become a master. In this way, those who can know the people and sympathize with all the people can know what the world is. ”

"But the widow doesn't want Can'er to suffer."

"Rest assured, my lord, the prince only needs to know what suffering is and what is sin, and he does not have to experience human suffering."

So the widow was relieved. So Aiqing, when should it start? ”

"The young man is eleven this year and is proficient in writing and ink, so he can start learning from arithmetic."

"Oh, why count?"

"King Qiqi, don't underestimate the method of counting, everything in heaven and earth is counted, from firewood and rice to the disputes between countries, all of them are the method of counting. For example, the amount of taxes paid by the national treasury, the amount of annual expenditure, and the amount of military expenses spent on the war at the front need to be calculated. If you learn this method, you can't hide any expenses in the future, so the method of counting is ranked after reading and hyphenating.

When the young man is older, he can learn some quintessential algorithms, supplemented by techniques such as Gewu and workmanship, so as to broaden his horizons, and in the future, if he talks about absurdity and nonsense, he will not be afraid of ghosts and gods. ”

"Okay...... It's good to know what to expect. ”

King Xian was meaningful and had high hopes for Jiang Can.

In the afternoon, King Xian summoned Jiang Hao, explained the details, and then went to visit Gongsun Yue in the secret prison. During the New Year's holidays, King Xian would visit and take care of the jailers, and Gongsun Yue did not suffer from flesh and skin.

In the second half of the night, under Jiang Hao's arrangement, Bai Liyan put on a black cloak, covered her face, and secretly entered the palace to go to the secret prison. The secret prison was built to the south of Jongmyo Temple, which is very remote, and the entrance is the back wall of the warehouse, and few people generally enter the place.

Gongsun Yue and Gong Shouqian were imprisoned in two adjacent cells, and King Xian still gave them very high treatment, they could take a bath once every five days, change a mattress and clothes in half a month, and even used soap, and the food had meat every day, and their families were all slaves in the palace, and they could see each other once a month.

Basically, he enjoys the most basic political prisoner treatment that a prime minister should have, and in addition, there is a perennial supply of books and pen and ink, and there is something to do.

Gongsun Yue mainly reads books on weekdays, and Gong Shouqian has written seven books in more than ten years, all of which are competing for hegemony in the world and what is the great plan of the country.

The so-called great plan of the world and the princes to compete for hegemony is nothing but a tool and game to satisfy the selfish desires of the rulers, in the final analysis, it is the national economy and the people's livelihood, and if the basic needs of people are not solved, the princes' struggle for hegemony is nothing but an empty dream.

Bailiyan asked Jiang Hao to empty all the jailers and lifted Gongsun Yue to the stone room where the jailers stayed, perhaps because King Xian had seen it, Gongsun Yue's spirit was much better, but there was confusion in his eyes.

"Wei Xian, General Wei, Baili Yan, the second son of Qiguo, and now the Marquis of Yongxing, I really didn't expect that you would be the son Yan who disappeared back then."

"It was in the lower part that Prime Minister Gongsun must never have thought that it would be the proton of the country back then."

"Hehaha...... If you think of it, you can do it again, the past is gone, how can you come again......"

Gongsun Xiangguo said this, I agree very much, there is any medicine in the world, but I don't regret taking the medicine, presumably Gongsun Xiangguo is confined here, and the jailer will occasionally reveal some news. At present, the black turbans are running out, and the princes of all countries are sending troops to encircle and annihilate the black scarves and exterminate the remnants.

Xianguo is now a strong soldier, steel blade weapons are available, more than 100,000 elites with fine iron and steel armor are invincible, the army is about to march westward, but under the rule of the black scarf, the people will suffer again, so I hope that Gongsun Xiangguo can turn back to the shore, secretly send a black scarf for my king, and persuade Xiong to abandon the dark and turn to the light, so as not to increase the casualties in the world, I don't know what Gongsun Xiangguo wants? ”

"You want me to be a lobbyist?"

"Exactly."

"You are not afraid that I will leak the secrets of the Xianjun Army and betray the king again."

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. However, even if Xiangguo betrayed the news, for my Xian army, it was just a mantis arm as a car to bring about its own destruction, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of elite veterans of the Xian army, and 400,000 people wearing armor, it was just to increase some casualties.

You might as well tell Xiangguo that Benhou Nan's expedition to Jin Xuedi slaughtered no less than two million of his soldiers and civilians, and the tragic situation caused by the soldiers is all outrageous and tragic. Ben Hou just didn't want to see the people of the Central Plains again, so he hoped that the male argument would abandon the secret and turn back to the shore, otherwise under the encirclement and suppression of the princes, there would be a river of blood.

In the end, Ben Hou believes that Xiangguo is not good, although the Tao of the Male Theory is unscrupulous, but compared to the loss of the good land of the Foolish Sect to destroy human nature, the Male Theory of the Tao does not lose the style of the sect, if you are lost at this time, I can still leave a glimmer of vitality in the Heroic Theory, but if you are obsessed, when the princes join forces, it is the day of the destruction of the Heroic Theory.

For hundreds of years, hundreds of sects have been destroyed, and the vassal states will not care about the life and death of the Xiong Tan Dao faction. ”

"Hehehaha......"

Gongsun Yue roared suddenly, Bai Liyan was puzzled, and asked:

"Why is Gongsun Xiangguo laughing, is it because he feels that he is acting contrivedly!"

"It's late... Late ...... Changlingzi is afraid that he has already died, and most of the people who are in charge of the Tao at this time are radicals, so how can they have a way to live. ”

"Gongsun Xiangguo doesn't have to be so desperate, as far as I know, there are many people in the Black Turban Army who advocate peace talks, as long as Gongsun Xiangguo says that he will move some of his men and horses to secretly help our Xian army, it is not only a great achievement, but my Xianguo will not be responsible for the past, and his people and families will not have to worry about their lives."

"Is Yongxinghou serious?" Gongsun Yue asked.

"That's true." Bai Liyan affirmed: "Whoever is attached to it must no longer believe heresy, do not incite rebellion, do not rebel against the Xian country, respect our king's law, and enjoy the same rights as the Xian people." Presumably, Xiangguo should have also read the new law "Granting Fields Law" implemented below, Xianguo can have today, all based on the "Granting Fields Law", in fact, when the Black Turban Army first emerged, if it can also implement the "Granting Fields Law" similar to the Tian Law, the Black Turban Army may not be able to sweep the world.

However, the people in charge of the Black Turban Army are all evil intentions, and they deceive the world with crooked and evil words and nonsense, and seek benefits for their own desires, such as Guangxin Qin Han and the like, and there are very few people who really serve the people. ”

"Alas......" Gongsun Yue sighed for a long time, full of depression and helplessness: "Okay, the sinner can try, but the sinner still has a request?" ”

"Gongsun Xiangguo, please speak."

"Can you let go of the guilty ministers, Gong Shouqian and his family?"

"Yes, after the Black Turban Rebellion is settled, he can be released, and he can go to the designated place to settle down, but he must not leave Xianguo. As for Xiangguo, if you return it, you can only make a decision by the king. But given the notoriety of the black scarf, I am afraid that he will not publicly pardon Xiangguo, and the others can only do their best. ”
