Empress Dowager Xuan didn't speak for a long time, but sighed deeply. Unconsciously, his most distressed son has gray temples. The years are urging people to grow old!

If it weren't for King Zhao Wuling's stepping, he would definitely be the one sitting on the throne now. But how could it be that King Zhao Wuling just stepped in! In order to prevent the king of Wuling from taking Gongzi Ji as the king, he had to go to the front desk to listen to the government. In order to appease his beloved son, he made an oath in front of his ministers.

But now, thirty-four years have passed. The supposed transfer of power did not materialize, but the two harmonious brothers were about to turn against each other. The eldest son, who was given the throne, was dissatisfied with not giving him all the power, and the second son, who had lost the throne, was dissatisfied with his oath. Even though they are still so filial to themselves on the surface, Empress Dowager Xuan actually knows that her two sons are complaining about themselves in their hearts. Am you wrong? It's true that she is a queen mother, but she is also a mother, and she doesn't want her brother to be on the wall.

"Wang Er is forty-eight this year, right?" Empress Dowager Xuan spoke, but sighed.

"The queen mother remembers it accurately." Childe said respectfully.

"Yes! In this life, I have given birth to three sons of your brothers. I remember all your birthdays, not to mention your age! Ji'er is the eldest, and now there are two out of fifty. Kui'er was the youngest, but she was forty-three. I'm even older, and the years don't forgive! ”

The queen mother laughed. The queen mother's body has always been very strong, and according to the child's point of view, she must live a long life and be blessed every day. Childe smiled and comforted.

"It's not uncommon for me to live a long life, I just look forward to the harmony of the three of you, brothers, friends and brothers, this is better than anything else!" Empress Dowager Xuan said the truth in her heart.

"The child remembers the lesson of the queen mother." Childe City replied. In his heart, he told himself that as long as his royal brother kept his mother's oath and let himself succeed to the throne, he would wait with peace of mind. Otherwise, Hugh blames him for being ruthless and unjust.

"Speaking of the prince", Empress Dowager Xuan hesitated, but still said: "It stands to reason that the throne should be yours." This is what the Queen owes you, and you have been wronged. But now that your eldest brother is in his prime, he is even more at fault, and there is no reason to dethrone him. Both of you are my sons, and the palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, and no matter which mother you beat, your heart hurts. In my opinion, the matter of Lichu should continue to be delayed! On King Qin's side, I'll probe the tone again. ”

"Queen Mother, this time Qin and Chu formed an alliance, and Brother Wang said that he must send the prince as a hostage, so this prince's position?" Gongzishi still reminded him hesitantly, wanting the Queen Mother to make a statement.

"I'll go and tell King Qin about this. There is no need to send such a noble proton as the crown prince to form an alliance with the Chu State. I don't think the king of Chu is willing to let his only son go to Xianyang, right? Empress Dowager Xuan said firmly.

"Queen Mother!" Childe City also wants to raise a different opinion. The Queen Mother is always delaying the matter of the prince now, and Gongzi City is really unwilling to wait. He must know who the Queen Mother chooses to support.

"I'm tired, you stand down!" The Queen Mother turned away.

"Queen Mother!" Childe shouted a little heartbreakingly.

"Let's go!" The Queen Mother's tone became a little stiff.

Childe City saw that his mother had no reaction, so he could only retire with red eyes. It's just that he didn't notice that the Empress Dowager Xuan, who turned around, was already in tears.

"Idiot, idiot! Why do you suffer! Empress Dowager Xuan turned around, looked at the back of Gongzi City and sighed secretly.

Later, at the same place, King Qin also had a conversation with Empress Dowager Xuan about the same content. It's just that the King of Qin is more tactful and skillful.

King Qin did not bluntly say that he had decided to establish a prince, but just used the same tone as usual to ask for instructions on the specifications of sending protons to each other after the alliance between Qin and Chu. After testing out that Empress Dowager Xuan was resolutely unwilling to establish a prince now, King Qin was not stubborn, and immediately turned the wind around and asked who to send as hostages. In the end, the two agreed to send their eldest son Zhu as a hostage, but did not give him the status of the crown prince.

King Qin left satisfied. Although he did not set up the eldest son pillar as the crown prince as he wished, it also prevented Gongzi City's plan to correct his name. More importantly, the Empress Dowager's neutral attitude, King Qin felt that in the future, his voice would become more and more important. Without the support of the Queen Mother, it would be a dream for Gongzi City to take the throne. As long as there are no accidents, it is appropriate for the throne to be passed on to children and grandchildren.

Prince Edward City was also satisfied. He is now very sure that the Queen Mother no longer supports him, and unless his royal brother dies, he will never come out. Brother Wang must be very happy now! As everyone knows, he has done tricks and feet, he sent his eldest son Zhu as a hostage, most of them are sheep into the mouth of the tiger, and it is impossible to escape! Whoever has the last laugh, who will die is not certain.

At the court meeting the next day, the king of Qin calmly told the ministers: after his consultation with the old man of the empress dowager, he decided not to establish a prince for the time being, and when the time was ripe, he would convene the ministers to discuss the matter. However, in order to show that the Qin State attached great importance to the relationship with the Chu State, it was decided to send the eldest son Zhu as a hostage.

The ministers all breathed a sigh of relief, at least for now, the Qin State did not have to worry about falling into the danger of falling into infighting again. Regardless of the fact that the neutral faction who stood in line actively offered suggestions and suggestions at the subsequent court meeting, they came up with many ideas for the restoration of peace and stability in the Guanzhong.

The days passed like this, and by the time the protons of Qin and Chu set off, it was already more than ten days later. The state of Chu unexpectedly did not let the crown prince Xiong Wan hostage, but sent Yang Wenjun's eldest son Xiong Huan. The reason is a little unbelievable but it is the "truth", the prince Xiong Wan suddenly had a "bad disease" a few days before departure and was bedridden. Including the imperial physician of the State of Qin, they all thought that the crown prince Xiong could not afford to travel long distances, and the king of Chu personally wrote a letter to apologize to the king of Qin. Under such circumstances, the Qin State could only pretend to accept this established fact generously.

South Korea, Xinzheng, Prince Mansion.

Prince Ran and Fan Sui finally met again after a lapse of three months. At the first glance after sitting down, the two found that each other was tired but energetic, and they couldn't help but laugh.

"Sir did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles for my Korea, it is really hard for Mr." After laughing, the prince changed his expression, got up and solemnly made a deep gesture.

If it weren't for Fan Sui going to Xianyang to disturb the situation in Guanzhong, maybe he would still be trapped in Yique now! How can there be today's scenery!

"I dare not be ashamed. The minister originally thought that he could use the soldiers of Yiqu to delay for the prince for a few more days, but he didn't expect that Bai Qi was so godly in using the soldiers that the plan to use Yiqu to consume the Qin State for a long time fell through, and the crime of this minister was also! The prince should be careful of this son in the future, he should be my great enemy of Korea! Fan Sui turned sideways and did not accept the salute, and said with emotion.

"Sir has done well enough! Now that South Korea has recovered 300 miles of land east of Pingyang and Mianchi, the shape of the country has been greatly improved. Wei and Zhao also recovered most of the two counties of Hedong and Hexi, and as long as Qin dared to send a letter to Guguan in the east, it would inevitably be attacked by the alliance forces of our three countries. ”

"The prince is still careless, the minister heard on the road that Qin and Chu have formed an alliance, so Korea is still a two-sided enemy. The next step is to concentrate on development and try not to get involved in the melee of various countries, so as not to lose national strength. Fan Sui said earnestly. After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young, and as a courtier, he must always be reminded.

"I have taken my words to heart. But Mr. doesn't know that the alliance between Qin and Chu is just a good match! Prince Ran suddenly broke out a fierce news.

"What do you mean by this?" Fan Sui was a little puzzled, could Qin Chu still have a fake alliance?

The crown prince immediately told Fan Sui about the secret envoy sent by the Chu State to Xinzheng. Now there are only three people in Korea (King Han, Prince Ran, and Prime Minister Zhang Ping) who know that Chu State is just pretending to ally with Qin, and actually wants to be friendly with Han, Zhao, and Wei. If the Chu army goes north to the border in the future, it will never have the intention of encroachment, but perfunctory to the Qin State.

Fan Sui pondered for a while and said: "Regardless of the truth or falsity of this matter for the time being, the minister thinks that it is still necessary to beware of the threat from the south, and beware of the fake drama of the Chu State." ”

The prince nodded and agreed. Then the two chatted about their experiences along the way, and each sighed. During the conversation, the prince told Fan Sui about his recruitment, and Fan Sui deeply agreed with this, the so-called sea does not reject all rivers, and it becomes big. Today's South Korea is in need of people with lofty ideals, but anyone with a skill should not refuse. Now that the crown prince has not yet ascended the throne, he needs to take advantage of this time to vigorously cultivate his henchmen. In this way, when the law is reformed, there will not be no unavailable people.

The two talked all night, but they never thought that another virtuous minister was already on the way.
