It is rare for a half-year-old child like Zhao Qi to see that behind the usurpation of the throne lies a deep crisis of civil strife and division in Great Xia. His attempt to defuse the crisis and entertain his ministers is just a variant of stories such as the release of military power with a glass of wine, and there are not many new ideas.

Yang Zhi thought about it carefully, Zhao Qi's move seemed to be dangerous, but in fact it was extremely stable.

As long as Great Xia does not fall into civil strife, no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, the world of the Great Xia Dynasty is still stable and belongs to his old Zhao family, which is where the core fundamental interests of the entire Great Xia royal family lie. If the emperor can miraculously recover and regain power, of course, he will not bury Zhao Qi's great credit. And he has no strength and in the name of supporting the prince to feast the ministers, in terms of the queen and Wei Su personally appeared, it avoided the suspicion that there is no silver three hundred taels here, which is undoubtedly the icing on the cake, they are happy to come to a smooth boat, and the prince will not forget this young brother who is no threat to him in the future. For King Ning, King Kang, Yang Zhi and others, no one had the absolute certainty of completely defeating the prince in one battle, and Zhao Qi also bought them time. No matter how he wins or loses in the future, who will do anything to him?

Although this kid is so cunning that it makes people's hearts chill, he still deserves to praise the overall situation. The so-called authorities are fascinated, and bystanders are clear, Zhao Qi sees the roles played by various gods, Buddhas, ghosts and monsters very thoroughly. It is precisely because he is only a twelve-year-old child that it makes people feel cold.

Yang Zhi's temperament is both fierce and smart, and Zhao Qi's expected persuasion work has actually achieved initial results, at least Yang Zhi's idea of rushing to the palace to beat the Dengwen drum and take Zhao Tianyang under the knife is not so urgent. It can't be said that Yang Zhi is fickle, and now he is in an invisible battlefield that changes rapidly, and the enemy has changed and I have not changed, don't you think that you are too good-looking to die?

Jin Zishan once told him clearly that all the powerful figures in the court, Zhao Qi, were invited, and naturally Wang Yunong and Xu Wenhan, Wei Su, Zhao Tianyang, Zhang Tianxing and other princelings were bound to arrive without fear, and the agents of King Ning and King Kang in Beijing would not fail to come. Nominally, the prince has the advantage, and the strength comparison is half a catty. If you have to turn your face, where can't you turn your face? Why do you have to look at the right time to hit the drum? Is it impossible to kill anyone in this palace of King Yue?

According to Yang Zhi's thoughts, in these turbulent times, there are not no people with lofty ideals who are selfless and worried about the country and the people. The royal nobility has always been rich in alternative talents such as tyrants, conspirators, psychopathic maniacs, or top-notch straw bales, and it feels somewhat comical that such a glorious role is played by a prince who has been well-dressed since his mother's womb. Which sentence of Zhao Qi's words is true and which sentence is false? To put it bluntly, the nose is the nose and the eye is the eye, where does he put himself? If he doesn't have the slightest bit of selfishness, who believes it?

Yang Zhi thought of this. said jokingly: "The talent of being selfless for the country is not something that everyone has, and the prince is very human!" ”

Zhao Qi said thoroughly: "If you have something to say, you don't need to carry a gun or a stick." I've already said it, as the prince of Great Xia, the family and the country are one, and only when there is a country can there be a home, why are you still so entangled? Slowly, I don't have any thoughts, even if there is, if Daxia becomes a mess of porridge, isn't it still an empty word? Even if I'm so lucky, I can at most be a stormy grass king. Why would I do such a stupid thing? ”

Zhao Qi's words may not be credible, but he said a very simple and realistic truth: even if he has the heart to compete for the throne, he must first stabilize Daxia before he has a chance. Otherwise, he is now empty-handed and nothing, going to fight for a fart? If you are not careful, you will even lose your life!

Probably realizing that he had missed his words, Zhao Qi immediately changed the topic with a smile and said: "Brother-in-law, my father once taught me that as long as I use the most powerful weapon in the world well, everything can be invincible." Do you know what this weapon is? ”

With the memories of his previous life, it was not difficult for Yang Zhi to concoct a few of the ultimate killing weapons of this era. But he didn't think about it when he had time. When he had this idea, he didn't have time to tinker with those things. Didn't react for a while: "Weapon? …… What weapons? ”

"Mind." Zhao Qi smiled confidently: "The most powerful weapon in this world is the human mind. Even if a person has the courage to be unstoppable, he can kill no more than a thousand. If you have the intention to kill people with your mind, you can reach millions of soldiers. ”

Do you need to say this? Everyone on earth knows it! Yang Zhi couldn't help but be stunned. Zhao Qi's argument sounds vaguely familiar: that day in the teahouse in Penglai, Shandong, Zhang Bohu pretended to take refuge in him, which is exactly what he said. …… On the night of Yang Zhi and Linglong's reunion, Zhang Bohu was cut off and jumped into the sea, and there was no news, and I don't know if he is dead or alive now? A madman with a twisted mentality like him is a scourge in the world!

Zhao Qi saw that Yang Zhi was thoughtful and silently did not answer, and there was no disappointment in his eyes: "Brother-in-law." In fact, not only do I expect you to come today, but I also dare to guarantee that no one will be able to thank the rest of the invited civil and military ministers, and I will definitely agree to ignore the rumors and support the proposition of the crown prince. ”

Yang Zhi frowned and asked, "Are you so sure?" ”

"Of course. You and I have just mentioned that self-interest and selfishness are common to everyone, and this is in line with human nature. If those people are all Qing people who only know empty talk and do not know how to practice, they don't even have a keen sense of the times, and they will definitely not be able to rank among the high positions in the court. Now the situation is at a crossroads, it is about the fortunes of the Great Xia, and it is about personal honor and disgrace and the life of the family, and anyone will be cautious. Everyone wants to explore other people's hole cards, but no one wants to be the first to pierce the layer of tissue paper to open the lid, no one has the absolute certainty of victory, and no one wants to take the responsibility of being the first to draw a knife. Today's banquet is precisely to see this gap, not only to cover the lid more tightly, but also to build a very delicate platform for you. There will always be a key fulcrum to maintain balance, and if someone provides an opportunity for everyone to sit down and seek that fulcrum, who will insist on fighting and killing? ”

Zhao Qi changed his words and said: "Actually, the idea of me to invite the ministers was completely forced out by you. But you provoked and killed that guard yesterday, and put a trumped-up hat on Zhao Tianyang for rebellion, and said that you wanted his life. You and I haven't been dating for a day or two, and I know that you can do what you say, and I immediately perceive that this is an extremely dangerous signal. Because this matter can be big or small, the initiative of how the situation will develop is transferred to your hands, and whether to lift the lid from a secret war to an open battle is up to you! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Qi looked up at the sky. After touching the blood stains that had congealed on his neck, his face showed a hint of tiredness: "So as long as you enter the palace as I expected, I will desperately drag you today!" Yesterday, Zhao Tianyang was summoned overnight, and he couldn't completely say that the queen and Wei Su were afraid of me. I also want to wake him up and understand that it is powerful, and I must not let him give you the slightest chance to have a seizure without knowing whether he is alive or dead, and it took a lot of thought to think about it. Last night I was so busy jumping up and down that I almost stayed up all night. Now that the time has passed, it is time for the ministers who were invited to the banquet to enter the palace one after another. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. ”

Zhao Qi said it like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, what else could Yang Zhi say? Only said with a wry smile: "There is a way to show the true character of a hero when the sea crosses the sea, but it is ridiculous that I have been friends with the prince for a long time, and it is not until today that I have truly appreciated the wisdom of the prince." It seems that no matter what the taste of today's meal is, I can only swallow it in one go. It's just that the prince picked up a big bargain for nothing, and I hope we won't be self-defeating in the future. ”

Zhao Qi sighed: "Didn't I say that it is the lesser of two evils?" Anyway, there is still some time to leave the feast, and since you have reached this level, I will talk to you about it! There is one thing I can't understand, you have been free from the competition for the crown prince by several imperial brothers, but because of the Marquis of An Guihou, you have a grudge with the queen and the crown prince. Except for this one that is barely reasonable, what reason is there to be an enemy of the crown prince? ”

"Who said we are enemies of the crown prince?" Zhao Qi's deep scheming that did not match his age had made Yang Zhi change his mind and decide to go left and right, and retorted half-truthfully: "In our eyes, no one admits it except the emperor, is it wrong to swear allegiance to the emperor?" Take 10,000 steps back and say, with the reason that you have an indissoluble grudge with the queen and the crown prince because of An Guihou, isn't it enough? ”

Zhao Qi sneered and asked, "Are you really sworn allegiance to your father?" Is there really any unsolvable grudge in this world? Brother-in-law, why should you deceive yourself? ”

"In this era of talent, the prince's intelligence may not be outstanding in comparison, but he is by no means stupid. You and I should know it. Even if the crown prince ascends to the throne one day, what he cares about most in his life is nothing more than to sit firmly in the country, and it is indispensable to attract sober-minded people to repay the service. Do you think the prince is not afraid of falling into power? Will you be willingly controlled by the queen and Wei's relatives? Do you think he'll be worried about the tail not falling off? Top talents like you and Mr. Xu have no ambition to dominate the government. As long as the price is raised, it is obviously a key force to balance the power of the queen and Wei's relatives and the two imperial brothers, do you think he will not know? In the same way, the prince's cuisine of the Qin family will be roughly the same in the future. The powerful forces in Jincheng and Guanzhong, represented by the Li family, and the emerging chaebol forces of the Qin clan that were single-handedly supported by their father, as long as they have a little brains, will never let either side sit alone. will only stand on a high place and watch the two sides fight. It's really to the point where it's out of control, and then take the uncle's frame to mediate, how comfortable is that? Hey, you won't be surprised by this section, right? You are different from the imperial uncle and the Geng father and son, and it is true that you are against the prince now, but it may not be that you have eaten the scales and made your heart hard. ”

"There is another matter, that is, as long as my father can survive this hurdle and not die, I dare to use the head of the item to guarantee that the crown prince will definitely die an ugly death! Being able to hold you off has given me fifty percent of my confidence, and the scene that just happened has increased my confidence by eighty percent. Brother-in-law, you are a smart person, it should not be difficult to understand what I am talking about. ”

Yang Zhi suddenly asked, "You mean ......?" ”

"I'm talking about Jin Zishan." Zhao Qi said with a faint look in his eyes: "Jin Zishan is a close attendant who was personally assigned to my palace by my father three years ago, but what he said to me in three years together is not as much as it is today. You are the key to the course of events, and the condition of your father is the master of the whole affair. ”

Yang Zhi was involved in the game, and he always felt that something was not right. Hearing Zhao Qi say this, he couldn't help but be shocked. Before he had time to sort out his thoughts, as soon as Jin Zishan was mentioned, the guy magically appeared: "Lord Yu, the imperial dining room has been fully prepared according to your instructions, just waiting for you to speak for the banquet." In addition, Lord Wei Suwei, the Privy Council's Grand Lieutenant, Lord Wang Yunong, the Prime Minister of the First Assistant, and Lord Xu Wenhan, a scholar of Jixian Palace, have all been invited to enter the palace, and after greeting the queen's mother, they are waiting outside the palace for the summons of the prince. ”
