Not long after the two returned to the big tent, Su Ming personally escorted a person, in fact, it was better to say that the escort was not to be an escort, not only was he not bound to this person, but Su Ming looked very respectful,

Entering the big tent, Su Mingyu reported: "This is the crown prince of the dynasty, accompanied by Zuo Zhaozhongcheng, Doctor Si Ji and others. ”

Hearing that it was the prince who fled, He Ran and Shi Lang were both surprised.

The prince stepped forward and saluted: "Houyu visited the military advisor and the minister's order, this time to avoid trouble and flee to seek the protection of King Yi, I hope that the military division and the prime minister's order can be fulfilled, and the great grace and virtue Houyu will never forget." ”

He Ran and Shi Lang hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and the two bowed, He Ran said: "Your Highness can torture the two of you, how dare the ministers accept the gift of Your Highness, please take a seat." ”

Houyu said miserably: "The military advisor loves Houyu and is ashamed to accept it, how dare I live as a prince at this moment, I am just a beggar prisoner, and I am grateful to be grateful for being able to save my life if I am loved." ”

He Ran and Shi Lang kept the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and it took a lot of tongues to get him to sit in the right seat.

When waiting for tea, He Ran took a closer look at the prince, and saw that he was about forty years old, and he had already seen signs of premature aging, his sideburns were white, and his haggard face showed that he was not living a pampered life on weekdays.

Without waiting for the two to ask, Houyu sighed and said: "It's really sad that I fell into such a field today, my father was deceived by traitors, and he provoked war in vain, so that the country was not protected, alas, and finally fell into the hands of a traitor. ”

Shi Lang was surprised: "The king was murdered. ”

Hou Yu said with a sad face: "I dare to use my life to guarantee that my father was killed by the five uncles, because I also went to the palace to visit this morning, although my father was terminally ill but never collapsed in an instant, I had received a secret report before, those traitors planned to kill their father at the right time to achieve the purpose of delaying the offensive of the Yi army, these people actually came up with such a despicable means are simply beasts, but my father not only did not believe my report but also scolded me, as soon as I heard the death knell, I knew that my father had finally been poisoned, and fled in a hurry without saying a word, Fortunately, there was no moment's delay, otherwise I wouldn't want to come out again, the martial law order reached the city gate almost simultaneously with me, and the general defending the city was respectful a moment ago, and turned his face and waved his sword. ”

"Oh......, I see." He Ran shook his body slightly, glanced at Shi Lang,

Shi Lang couldn't guess what he was thinking, and sighed: "Your Highness is alert and decisive, and the foreign minister can see with his own eyes that the scene at that time is so dangerous that it will not happen, as the saying goes, if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, God bless Your Highness, congratulations." ”

Houyu smiled bitterly at himself, and said: "Losing the family and the country, what are you talking about, since the White House Bo touched the military division Huwei, and after losing the land of Henan, I have expected that there is today, so I have already let go of a heart, if it were not for my father, I would have fled from Kaiqing a long time ago, this time I only want to be able to get the king's mercy, let me be a grass man to spend the rest of my life safely, there is no other extravagant hope,

He Ran raised his eyebrows and said: "What His Royal Highness said is not true, my king is benevolent and benevolent, the reason why he ordered the two of us to be Fan Shunshi is because Bai Gong Bo and other ministers deceived me too much, and I am afraid that I will be troubled for a long time if I don't punish him, and I will treat him politely when I know that His Highness will come to avoid trouble, and it is reasonable for His Highness to return to the country in the future, please rest assured." ”

Houyu and Shi Lang both know that what they did to restore the country is just polite words, King Yi will definitely be so polite when he arrives, but no one dares to take it seriously, otherwise he will find his own death,

Houyu grinned reluctantly, and said: "The king's benevolence and benevolence have been heard for a long time, but this restoration can not be mentioned anymore. ”

He Ran said with a smile: "Your Highness is laughing, so let's do it, Your Highness has just been frightened, please rest for a while, I will write to the king with the order, and the ministers dare not say anything else, but I can guarantee that His Royal Highness will not be able to return to the country in the future." ”

Houyu knew the power of this military advisor in Yi Country, and couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard him say this, and he got up and wanted to bow down.

He Ran hurriedly supported him and ordered someone to serve him as a prince to rest.

After sending away Houyu, He Ran couldn't suppress his joy and said to Shi Lang: "This Kaiqing City has fallen, and there is no need to withdraw the troops." ”

Shi Lang frowned and thought for a while, his eyes also showed joy, and he said in a low voice: "Make him the king and ask for the thief on his behalf." ”

"Famous teacher." He Ran patted him on the shoulder hard,

Shi Lang looked at him and pointed again and again: "It turns out that you have been working on this idea just now, I said why are your eyes flickering." ”

He Ran said smugly: "How about it, this method is okay." ”

Shi Lang raised his head and thought for a while, and said: "Such a big matter has to ask the king's will, you and I can't make decisions on our own, besides, once he is made king, he will not be able to break his promise in the future, and there will be no less trouble, unless you really plan to return all the land you have to him." ”

He Ran lowered his teeth and said: "If we are vicious, we can choose the opportunity to kill him, so that it will be a hundred, but this routine is too old, don't explain the white people, even the foolish people know what is going on." ”

Shi Lang waved his hand and said: "I don't agree with this, don't say anything else, the prince has a good reputation for virtue and filial piety in Shunguo, and I have heard it a long time ago. ”

He Ran paced around the ground a few times, then stopped and said, "Then let him be the king of Shun, and return Kaiqing and the surrounding cities to him, it is impossible to return them to their places." ”

Shi Lang immediately objected: "You have to think about this, King Shun is here, the people's hearts will inevitably be towards it, it will be difficult for us to govern his land, and the officials who can be sent are already insufficient, once the chaos starts, it will be a big disaster." ”

He Ran smiled slightly: "You listen to my following strategy, and make him the king is to make him the king, but don't let him go back to Kaiqing immediately, and leave him in Mingzhong City for a year and a half, and when the new policy gradually enters the hearts of the people, I am not afraid to send him back, I have experience in this, you should know about the matter of Pingcheng, I was in front of the people of the city and handed it over to Mr. Xi, in the end, he didn't beg me to take it back, most of the people in the city were interested in Mr. Xi, but gradually they didn't care about the belonging of the city, What matters is who can keep the new deal going forever. ”

Shi Lang smiled: "This method is good, the situation will be very different for a year and a half, you are bad enough, and you gave him a king of Shun who exists in name only, but it is greatly beneficial to the initial appeasement of people's hearts." ”

He Ran snorted and said: "I am a villain, only a villain can come up with such a shady idea, you dignified gentlemen disdain to think about this, the notoriety and crimes are borne by me alone, someone has to dye this dirty water, but then again, I have done what I have been spurned by others, and you should do the hard work, which is always fair." ”

Shi Lang couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, okay, I'll let you go back when this thing is done, don't bother you anymore, look at the pitiful way you said, in addition to killing and killing pawns, there is no crime or notoriety, and the good name has deceived a lot." ”

He Ran didn't dare to entangle, and said with a smile: "It's righteous enough, you write a book, and when the mourning of Kaiqing City comes, we will withdraw our troops." ”

Shi Lang nodded, the withdrawal of troops is inevitable, and the correspondence with Ming Zhongcheng will take time, and the prince and others must not know the secret of the flying pigeon book, so they must be an example, and at the same time, the withdrawal of troops can also paralyze the enemy army, and it is not known that a sudden killing of a horse gun may be able to break the city in one fell swoop, the two of them know all this, He Ran did not explain, Shi Lang did not bother to say a word,
