With a "snap", a white piece fell on the chessboard, blocking one of the black dragon's eyes, Deng Hong took a breath, sat up straight, and looked at Yuan Yiqiu opposite.

Yuan Yiqiu stared at the chessboard with wide eyes for a long time, sighed, and left a sunspot in his hand still in the chess box, and sighed: "The prince has hills and ravines in his chest, and Yiqiu can't reach it." ”

In the autumn of Dashengyuan, Deng Hong's face was very unhappy, and he stretched out his hand to mess up the chess pieces: "What's the use of talking on paper?" I heard that Emperor Qin Feng of the Ming Dynasty, playing chess is a mess, it is completely a stinky chess basket, but when it comes to political affairs, military affairs, it is skillful, the layout is like a ghostly axe, without any carving, the Ming country has today's atmosphere, thanks to the strength of this person. ”

Yuan Yiqiu fell silent. Deng Hong, the king of Kaiping County in front of him, has long lost the sharp spirit of the past, and what is presented in front of him is just an ordinary, lifeless old man who is dying of aging.

The three sons of the Deng family, connected and died, the children of the Deng family with some abilities, almost all of them were folded on the battlefield, and now the Deng family, which once shocked the Qin State and had the power of the world, has become a grasshopper after the autumn, and it is a day by day.

I saw him rise up a tall building, I saw him feast guests, and I saw his building collapse. Yuan Yiqiu was really full of emotion in his heart. From his heart, the Deng family still has great merit in the Qin State, over the years, if it were not for the Deng family to support the Qin State border army, the Qin State would have been beaten to pieces, not to mention anything else, just the Deng family children died on the battlefield, over the years, I am afraid that it will be counted in hundreds.

But the struggle for power is ruthless in the end, once the power is lost, the wall is pushed by everyone, with the successive defeats of the border army, the three sons of the Deng family died one after another, and the building of the Deng family finally collapsed.

The imperial court wants to take power. With the death of Li Zhi, no one in the Qin State has the ability to maintain the troika pattern, whether it is the Deng family, the Bian family, or the royal family, they all want to hold power in their own hands, and in this battle, it is the Deng family that is the first to fall.

Yuan Yiqiu is enshrined by the royal family, so he is naturally on the side of the royal Ma family. This power struggle has been going on for two years, but to this day, there is still no end in sight, which makes him quite discouraged. The Deng clan fell, but the Deng clan's subordinates did not fall under the rule of the imperial family as the royal family wished, but fell apart and split into several forces. Xiao Qiang is ready to move in the Tiger Prison, intending to become Deng Hong's second. Lu must support Qingzhou, which is equivalent to cutting drama. Bian Wushuang was eye-to-eye with the Chu army in the Luoying Mountains, and now he has deployed a large number of troops to the border of Qinghe County, what his meaning is self-evident.

For a while, the court was stumbling, and the situation was even more chaotic than before. The Ma court had to step up the expansion of armaments, not to prepare against foreign enemies, but to prepare to exterminate the civil strife.

Yuan Yiqiu stood up and poured a cup of tea for Deng Hong and himself. Since the imperial court took down Deng Hong and imprisoned him in the Kaiping County Mansion in Yongdu, Yuan Yiqiu has been living here, accompanying Deng Hong day and night, in case there is any accident.

"Lord Wang, I haven't congratulated you yet! The granddaughter will get married the day after tomorrow, and both inside and outside the palace are beaming. Yuan Yiqiu changed the subject.

"Jubilant?" Deng Hong glanced at Yuan Yiqiu sarcastically: "Brother Yuan, where did you see the jubilation?" Don't say that I don't want to marry my granddaughter, even His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, are you willing to watch my granddaughter marry that Xiao child? I'm a waste person now, I can't do anything, I can't even raise my anger, but His Majesty the Emperor must be like thunder, but there is nothing to be done, right? He was afraid that he would anger Xiao Qiang and start a civil war in advance? ”

Yuan Yiqiu smiled a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty is not very happy, but it is true." ”

Deng Hong was silent for a long time and said, "Poor my granddaughter, she is going to be the burial companion of the Xiao family." ”

"The prince is not optimistic about Xiao Qiang!" Yuan Yiqiu said strangely: "This person is recruiting troops and horses in the Tiger Prison Pass, and his power has expanded very quickly, and now it has reached 100,000 people, after the granddaughter of the prince marries, he can use this signboard to recruit the old department of the prince, if Lu must also take refuge in him, then half of the people in Daqin will be surnamed Xiao." ”

"He's dreaming!" Deng Hong sighed: "Xiao Qiang is a person with great ambition and talent, and he can guard one side in order to defend it, but if he wants to decide the overall situation, he is too far behind." Even Deng was defeated in this big battle, let alone him. Are you worried that Lou will definitely cling to him? Don't worry, Lu must know the soldiers, know the severity, know the power, and be the best at seeking profit and avoiding trouble, this is his advantage, but it is also his biggest weakness, what I can see, Lu must also be able to see, so he will not take refuge in Xiao Qiang. ”

"You're saying that Lu must also want to stand on his own?"

"That's not it, Lu must be this person, but he doesn't have the courage to be willing to cut himself and dare to pull the emperor off the horse, so at that time, I asked Xiao Qiang to be the main general of the Tiger Prison, and put Lu must be by my side because Xiao Qiang dared to think and dare to do it! Even if there is no hope at all, this guy dares to do it. This kind of temperament is an advantage, but the main party is so inconsiderate, and failure is not far from him. ”

"In this way, if the soldiers and horses of the imperial court occupy a certain advantage in the process of Xiao Qiang of the Ping family in the future, Lu will definitely fall to the imperial court, at least the imperial court can use him, right?" Yuan Yiqiu asked.

"Why worry about Xiao Qiang, in my opinion, His Majesty the Emperor might as well worry about it, how to balance Bian Wushuang in the future!" Deng Hong picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Compared with Xiao Qiang, Bian Wushuang is the hero." Yuan Gong, if there is no external force to intervene, the final winner of this battle, I am optimistic about Bian Wushuang. ”

Hearing Deng Hong's words, Yuan Yiqiu's face changed slightly.

"The Bian family is deeply favored by the imperial court, how can he be so kind and revenge?"

Deng Hong smiled silently. At the beginning, Li Zhi of the Qin State died, the country was changed, the Deng family had to take power, and the Bian family would have been hunted down and killed by the Deng family if it were not for the help of the royal family. Yuan Yiqiu's words naturally meant this.

"This time is also that time!" Deng Hong laughed: "But Yuan is also relieved, if Xiao Qiang succeeds, he will not allow the royal family, then Bian Wushuang is more similar to the minister, if he gains power, he can still allow His Majesty the Emperor to sit on top." ”

Sitting high on the top, overhead as a puppet, how can the royal family be willing.

took a long breath: "The prince just said that external forces intervened?" I don't know which one you mean? ”

"There can be that one, of course it's Akito!" Deng Hong's mouth grinned, revealing a wry smile, in the hands of the Ming people, he Deng clan was a big defeat, Deng Pu, Deng Su, they all died in the battle of Hengdian, and it was this battle that completely broke the backbone of the Deng clan.

"If a civil war breaks out in our country, no matter which side it is, it can't win cleanly, and when the war is turned into a pot of porridge, the Ming people will inevitably intervene, and at that time, the disaster of the destruction of the country is not far away." Deng Hong stood up, "I'm tired, Yuan Gong is at his own convenience." ”

Looking at Deng Hong's bleak back, Yuan Yiqiu suddenly lost his mind. Listening to Deng Hong's tone, it seems that a civil war will inevitably break out, could it be said that His Majesty the Emperor swallowed his anger and made compromises, and still couldn't avoid such an ending?

If it really starts, no matter who wins or loses, the already poor Qin State will be even worse.

"Duke Deng, now that the State of Chu has been defeated by the State of Qi, our country and the State of Chu already have a friendship of marriage, if we form a blood alliance with the State of Chu, can we alleviate the current situation?" Yuan Yiqiu asked loudly.

Deng Hong's figure paused slightly, and he didn't look back, "Yuan Gong, no one asks if you are poor in the downtown area, and you are rich in the deep mountains, what is the use of forming a blood alliance with my Great Qin in the current situation of the Chu State?" What they need is a powerful ally like the Ming State that can help them, didn't the Di newspaper a few days ago say that the queen of the Ming Dynasty, Princess Zhaohua of the Chu State, has become the capital? ”

Yuan Yiqiu sighed and sat down.

The moon outside is white and the wind is clear, but in his heart, it is a bitter autumn wind, and it is extremely cold. All the efforts made by Daqin seemed to be a dying struggle, and although he could still jump a few times, he was getting weaker and weaker.

If Li Shuai didn't die, it would be great! This thought flashed in his heart, looking at the door that Deng Hong walked into, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, if the Deng family was not for his own selfishness, he colluded with Chu and Ming, and plotted against Li Zhi, what would Qin Guo do.

Your Deng clan controls the power of the Qin State, but it is unable to make the Qin State stable for a long time, but it makes the Qin State decline step by step.

He stomped his feet, turned around and walked out, talking to Deng Hong today, it was not exactly idle chat, although this guy is a national thief, but he still has vision, at least he has a certain judgment of Xiao Qiang and Lu, and it is still very helpful for His Majesty the Emperor to formulate a response strategy.

It seems that even if Xiao Qiang marries Deng Shu, the daughter-in-law, it will have no effect on recruiting the old Deng family, as long as Lu must not be moved, there is nothing else to worry about. What's more, Lu must not move, let alone the others.

Deng Hong was not lying on the bed as Yuan Yiqiu imagined, on the contrary, at this moment, he was sitting quietly in the dark, looking at Yuan Yiqiu through the wide open window, and hurriedly left the palace, the corners of his mouth couldn't help showing a hint of sneer. Yuan Yiqiu's martial arts cultivation is extremely profound, but when it comes to playing tricks, manipulating people and applauding, he is still too far behind. He was ordered by the emperor to come to him to inquire about these things, and he made his heart shake in a few words, and he was in a hurry to report to the emperor.

Yuan Yiqiu doesn't leave, there are some things that are easy to do! His gaze turned to the place where his family in the backyard was. Since he was confined, he has been confined to this study building, while the widows of the Deng family are confined to the backyard.

And Deng Shu also lives where now.
