"But Your Highness, the Marquis of Xihua had already left Yecheng for Handan a few days ago...... The main question is...... If Your Majesty wants to kill King Yan, he will definitely not tell anyone, where is the news from outside? ”

"There is no point in dwelling on this now, these few bullshit ballads will reach the ears of my father in the blink of an eye! When the time comes, if someone makes an article about this, maybe it will make my father change his mind. ”

"The tree is falling and scattered, the Yan Wang's Mansion has collapsed, and even now when the name of the Yan King is mentioned, His Majesty will feel that it is a taboo, and no one should go to find it boring, right?"

"Since someone deliberately spread rumors, how can they let go of such an opportunity?"

"That ......"

At this time, a subordinate suddenly came to report: "Your Highness, King Ning asks to see." ”

"King Ning? What did he come to do? Shi Zun asked.

The man shook his head and replied, "The slave doesn't know, King Ning just said that he has something important to ask to see Your Highness." ”

"Your Highness, this King Ning is always mysterious, and he won't come to the door easily, so it's better to see what he wants to say." Tan Yuan said on the side.

Shi Zun nodded and ordered, "Let him wait in the front hall, and this king will arrive later." ”

"Yes......"

Shi Zun stretched his waist, twisted his neck, and said, "Let's go, let's go and see what His Royal Highness King Ning wants to do." ”

Shi Jian walked around the front hall, wandered around for a while, looked at everything and felt a little fresh, touched this, looked at that, the subordinates on the side looked at him with some disdain, but Shi Jian didn't seem to see it.

"Brother Three Emperors." Shi Zun stood at the door and shouted.

When Shi Jian heard Shi Zun shouting at him, he hurriedly turned around, greeted him with a smile, and said, "Ninth brother! No, no, His Royal Highness King Qing, I haven't seen you for many days, and the foolish brother has come to disturb me. ”

Shi Zun smiled, walked into the room, smiled and raised his hand to signal: "Third Emperor Brother, sit!" ”

"Huh!" Shi Jian sat down with a smile.

Shi Zun sat down and asked, "The third emperor brother came over today, saying that there is something important, but I don't know what the important matter is?" ”

Shi Jian frowned slightly, and said with a sad face: "Now there is a ballad circulating outside, I don't know if you know." ”

Shi Jian said, thought for a while, and said slowly: "The northern wild goose goes south, and the wild goose has no head. Frost flies in October, and the frost is full of disasters. It's not too late to stop the precipice. ”

Tan Yuan looked at Shi Zun and said, "Where did His Royal Highness King Ning hear this?" ”

"Haven't you heard?" Shi Jian looked at the two of them and asked.

"I haven't heard of it." Shi Zun frowned slightly and asked, "What does this ballad mean?" ”

"Isn't this ballad just helping Yan Wangfu speak! Your Highness can't see it? Shi Jian asked.

Shi Zun shook his head and asked, "Third Emperor Brother, are you here today for this matter?" ”

"Not exactly!" Shi Jian said, paused, deliberately lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "I am here to give advice to King Qing's Mansion!" ”

"Advice?" Shi Zun couldn't help but smile and asked, "What do you mean by this, Brother Huang?" ”

Shi Jian saw that Shi Zun was a little disdainful, frowned slightly, and said: "Ninth brother, I am kind enough to remind you because you helped me, if you don't want to hear it, then when I don't come today, I will leave!" ”

Shi Jian said, ready to get up.

Seeing Shi Jian's actions, Shi Zun felt a little surprised, and raised his hand to signal: "Third Emperor Brother, the younger brother doesn't mean this, the brother helps, I can't ask for it, let's talk about it, what does the imperial brother have to remind the younger brother to pay attention to?" ”

Shi Jian sighed and asked, "You really don't think there's anything wrong with that ballad just now?" ”

"I want to hear about it! Brother Huang, please speak! ”

"Everyone knows that in the past, it was the Yan Wangfu and the Qing Wangfu who competed for the throne, but now that the Yan Wangfu has fallen, the winner must be His Royal Highness the King of Qing! That's why I asked His Royal Highness King Qing for your help in the first place......"

"So, the Third Emperor Brother is also very discerning?"

"Where, where......" Shi Jian waved his hand, and then said: "Tell the right thing, get down to business!" ”

"Go on."

"King Yan was imprisoned in Dali Temple, and his father was slow to fall, although he has now declared that he wants to be the prince of King Qing, but this King Yan will not die for a day, and you will not be sealed for a day, in my opinion, it is always a long night and a dream!" Shi Jian said, smacked his lips slightly, and said: "In my opinion, the ballad that is being spread outside is that someone wants to stand up for the Yan Wangfu!" ”

Shi Zun thought for a while and ordered: "Brother Huang has a point, go on!" ”

"I heard that our Zhao Kingdom is about to start a war with Xianbei, and His Royal Highness King Qing is also going on an expedition, and the commander is Your Highness, right?"

Shi Zun smiled slightly and said, "The Third Emperor Brother is a little well-informed!" ”

"Ninth brother! His Royal Highness King Qing! If you believe me, you must not be the boss of this expedition! Shi Jian said to Shi Zun seriously.

"Oh? Why is that? Shi Zun and Tan Yuan didn't quite understand what Shi Jian meant for a while.

"Hey! Isn't that obvious? If this battle is so easy to fight, how can Xihua Hou give this credit to His Royal Highness King Qing? ”

"His Royal Highness King Ning, what Xihua Hou can't do, our Royal Highness King Qing can! The battle that Xihuahou does not dare to fight, our Highness dare! Tan Yuan said beside him.

Shi Jian shook his head and said, "Lord Tan, if you say so, I don't have anything to refute, but I just want to ask you, Lord Tan, this time you Qingwang Mansion, can you be completely sure of winning?" ”

Shi Zun didn't speak, and Tan Yuan didn't reply, but looked at Shi Zun's face and waited for Shi Zun's instructions.

Seeing that neither the master nor the servant spoke, Shi Jian said, "Isn't this right?" Since you are not completely sure, then at this critical moment, His Royal Highness King Qing, why do you take this risk? ”

"This king is not going? If the Xihua Marquis Mansion went and won the first credit by luck, wouldn't the Qingwang Mansion give up the victory in hand? ”

"What if we lose? If the boss is Your Highness, the responsibility is all that belongs to the Qingwang Mansion! If you win, it may not be your Highness's work alone! On this issue, the Xihua Marquis Mansion can be said to be shrewd enough! I heard that on this expedition, Shi Zhan only sent 3,000 people to cut off the food and grass of the Xianbei people, and the other soldiers were not his people! Why? He just didn't want to take the risk! ”

After Shi Jian said these words, Shi Zun and Tan Yuan didn't speak for a long time, naturally wondering if what Shi Jian said was reasonable.

After a long while, Tan Yuan said slowly: "Your Highness, what His Royal Highness King Ning said seems to have some truth!" ”

Shi Zun glanced at Tan Yuan, and said to Shi Jian: "Now that the boss has not been decided, the key depends on who the father chooses!" But no matter who is the manager, this king is at risk! This is a hot potato, I am afraid of burning it in my hand, and I am afraid of being bitten by a dog if I lose it! ”

"Then don't hold on to the potato! Just throw it to someone else! Shi Jian said.

"To whom?"

"Whoever throws the potato out of his hand, he will return it."

"You mean to refuse to be in charge?" Shi Zun was a little puzzled.

Shi Jian shook his head: "No, no, no, it's not just that I refuse to be in charge, but I want my father to be in charge!" ”

"What? Let the father be in charge? Shi Zun was a little surprised and said, "How can there be such a reason!" ”

"My father is in charge, if he is defeated, the Qingwang Mansion and the Xihua Marquis Mansion will not be able to escape the relationship! But at least they didn't take advantage of it! If it wins, the Xihua Marquis Mansion will send few troops, and it is impossible to get much reward, and the majority of the credit will still be Qingwangfu's! What's so bad about that? ”
