…

Gan Ning hung the bell, between walking, the bell swayed, making a jingling sound, strode forward at this moment, and knelt down on one knee ten meters away from Zhuxia and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Gan Ning is fortunate not to be dishonored!"

Before he knelt down, Zhu Xia also strode forward and held him up, he pursed his mouth tightly, looked at Gan Ning with blazing eyes, then looked at the two black-robed people, nodded heavily, and said, "It's been hard all the way!" What's the picture? ”

"He was repairing the ship, and on the way, he accidentally hit a reef and simply survived back." Gan Ning scratched his head embarrassedly.

"It's okay! It's okay! Thank you! After speaking, Zhu Xia walked towards the two black robes.

The black-robed man at the head lifted his hood and revealed a face, this person was Chen Deng, he looked at Zhu Xia in a daze, came back to his senses, and hurriedly saluted Zhu Xia: "Your Majesty!" Chen Deng is back! ”

As soon as he heard this, for some reason, there were tears in Zhu Xia's eyes, and when he stepped forward, he noticed that his Tang knife had not yet been sheathed, and he felt a little impolite, so he hurriedly entered the sheath and then walked towards Chen Deng, stopping in front of Chen Deng, he sighed: "Wronged Yuanlong so far, at this time, Yuanlong has to take the risk to return!" Lonely and useless! ”

"Why did you say this! On that day, the minister himself proposed, and the king was persuaded by the minister. The king's summoning, that is the honor of the minister! And the monarch is less than the age of the weak crown, and the Han Kingdom has developed in two years, how can you use the word 'useless' to describe yourself, it is clear that he is eloquent, wise and martial, and as the master of the people, you are using talents! Please don't be so arrogant and make our courtiers feel uneasy! ”

When Zhu Xia heard this, he was a little happy to be praised, he was very wary of this kind of sycophant on weekdays, so many Ming monarchs in history fell on these flattering words, and the more beautiful the person who spoke, the more vigilant he was.

But today, he could not be vigilant, and he was sincerely happy, and immediately felt that his words were inappropriate, and he said in front of all his courtiers that he was useless, and that he was not putting them in a pit of fire.

"It's a lonely speech."

"That's right. Junshang, this is the retainer accepted by the minister in Qingzhou, Chen Qi, who was discovered by the minister in Weimo, and is worthy of trust. When Chen Deng saw Chen Qi, he remembered that he hadn't introduced Chen Qi to Zhuxia yet, and hurriedly pointed at Chen Qi and introduced.

Chen Qi lifted his hood, took a step forward, knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully: "Meet Han Hou."

"Excuse me, since you are a retainer of Yuanlong, you are also a citizen of the Han family, so you don't need to kneel." Zhu Xia didn't step forward to help this time, but said with a smile, Chen Deng trusts Chen Qi, after all, it is the first time he and Chen Qi have met, and it is not suitable to treat the words and deeds of a confidant minister, he is also a prince no matter what.

At this time, Zhu Xia's heart moved, and he used to seek talent and looked at Chen Qi.

Chen Qi: Unity: 6, Wu: 5, Zhi: 5, Zheng: 5.

Yo, it's quite comprehensive, but except for the level of a county, the rest are average, and when cultivated, there is still a chance to be in charge of it, and he can barely be a county guard, but he is Chen Deng's retainer, not a direct courtier, and he has no right to appoint it.

Moreover, Chen Deng is in the Yellow Kingdom, and he really needs a henchman to help him.

Zhu Xia suddenly extinguished his thoughts, but his attitude was a little better, and said: "Not bad, study hard, you can still stand alone, be a county guard, and assist Yuanlong well, and Lone will not treat you badly."

"Yes!" Regardless of Chen Qi's heart and attitude, he is indeed very respectful on the surface.

Zhu Xia said a word, he didn't say anything, he said something profoundly, as a monarch, he also needs to know a little, and he can't let others upset.

"This is Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong, Yuan Long should be familiar with it, right?"

"General Zilong!"

"Staff Officer Chen."

After the two met, Zhu Xia inquired about Chen Deng's progress in the Yellow Kingdom.

"The minister is currently ......"

"The ......"

At this time, Gan Ning suddenly spoke and said, "I'm sorry, when we greeted Staff Officer Chen, we also got some gold and some prisoners of the Yellow Kingdom by the way, what should we do with these?"

Zhu Xia was a little strange why Gan Ning interrupted Chen Deng's words, but after hearing this, he thought about it and said, "Enter the warehouse first, and take the prisoners and detain them." But it's not safe here, so you have to work hard to get it to Han County. It's never too late for you to take a break and come back. ”

"Yes. By the way, Staff Officer Chen, this little brother Chen hasn't been to Han County yet, right? Why don't you let him go with me, and by the way, introduce Han County, what do you think? Gan Ning turned to Chen Deng and said.

“……”

Chen Deng looked at Gan Ning silently.

The meaning is obvious, Gan Ning does not trust Chen Qi.

After a long time, Chen Deng nodded and said: "It's rare to come to Han Country once, it's really a pity not to go to Han County, Qi'er, you can go with him."

Chen Qi nodded and said, "No! I'm tired of General Gan! ”

"No trouble, no trouble, go!" Gan Ning smiled, pulled Chen Qi and left.

Zhu Xia looked at Chen Deng helplessly, very apologetic.

"Nothing. General Gan is just not familiar with Qi'er, and it is okay to be careful, everyone is thinking about the Han Kingdom, and I believe that Chen Qi will not have any objections. Chen Deng saluted.

Zhu Xia let out a breath and began to ask about Chen Deng's experience in the Yellow Kingdom.

"At present, the minister has controlled more than half of the territory of the Huang State, but he still does not have the slightest influence in the court, and at the same time, because of the position of the prince, the relationship with the Huang Hou is a little stiff, although the contradiction has not reached the point where it cannot be reconciled, but it is no longer the closeness of the day, and I should have agreed to it that day......

"It's a bit slow!" Zhu Xia frowned and said, according to this progress, if you want to control Huang Guo, and then use Huang Guo's hand to control Qingzhou, the distance is too far, and the honeymoon period between the two has passed, because the interests have already made contradictions, this situation is a little not optimistic!

"There is no way, the foundation of the minister is weak, there is no exchange of interests with the Huang Guoshi clan, and there is only one person who has no family members to marry each other, and there is only one person who is truly trustworthy. However, in terms of the army, the ministers are quite influential, and the people are popular. Chen Deng was also helpless.

"And what are you going to do next?" Zhu Xia asked.

"Cultivate henchmen and cronies, cultivate capable minions, gradually encroach on the government and the opposition, destroy the prestige of the eldest prince and the second son, support the third son, control the third son, and then support the third prince to ascend the throne, and then accidentally let him fall into the water, and finally help the young lord to ascend the throne, completely controlling the Yellow Sea and abroad. Echoing with the Han Kingdom, watching each other, and respecting each other's thrones when necessary. When the time is ripe, surrender to the Han Kingdom.

Or, let the Huang Kingdom be the king, uproot the scholars, and bear all the notoriety! Wait for the Han king's division to drive to ......"

In the end, Chen Deng did not continue, but the meaning was obvious.

"En, that's good, but I'm afraid that the Han Kingdom is hanging ...... this time" Zhu Xia nodded, and then smiled bitterly.
