The civil and military officials also felt that the emperor's anger was a little inexplicable, and the meaning in his words was to exterminate Heihu Mountain and other forces? But as soon as the holy decree to encourage the private army was issued, the emperor attacked the forces in the rivers and lakes, so what is the meaning of this holy decree? Of course, it may not be ruled out that the emperor has the intention of taking them all in, but now that the treasury is empty, where is there so much money wasted? It takes money to fight!

"Hmph, you let me think twice, I have to consider your thoughts, but when those rivers and lakes are reckless and disobey my orders, have they ever thought twice for me?" The emperor was angry, the officials were silent, no one wanted to touch the emperor's mold, the emperor muttered alone for a while, and hummed: "Forget it, you all get up, I have the intention to kill them, but now is really not the time." ”

"The emperor is wise!" The civil and military officials shouted out a sentence in unison, and stood up nervously, as if the storm was about to pass.

"Shanhe, how is the situation in Gangneung now?" After losing his temper, the emperor brought the topic to Gangneung.

"Back to the emperor, my brother has been dealing with Anyang's affairs recently, but he doesn't have much time to pay attention to Jiangling." King Yi lowered his head and replied: "However, since Lord Lu is personally in charge, and various decrees can be implemented, there will be no chaos in the future." Just ......"

The righteous king wanted to speak and stopped.

"Just what?" The emperor said with a cross eyebrow.

"It's just that the Qiushan Army entrenched in Gangneung seems to have changed a little recently, and the younger brother is worried that it is planning something big." King Yi is also very smart, and he pointed the finger at Qiu Shan again by taking advantage of the emperor's topic.

"Liu Huasheng?" With remembrance in his eyes, the emperor shook his head and said, "Liu Huasheng is prejudiced against me, but he is Marshal Yue's personal guard, so he should be prioritized. ”

"What the emperor said is right, but Liu Huasheng is old, and he is far away from the court, I am afraid that he will not have the majesty of the year." King Yi said: "Brother Yi heard that the Qiushan Army has always been in the hands of Liu Huasheng's righteous daughter, but some time ago, I don't know why, Liu Huasheng's righteous daughter was excluded from Qiu Shan, but now the Qiu Mountain Army is in the hands of Niu Yuan...... The younger brother did not agree with this person's style of acting. ”

"Oh?" The emperor seemed interested.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have different opinions." King Wu took a step forward and said, "I heard that Liu Huasheng's righteous daughter is not interested in being in charge of the soldiers, but is immersed in the drama business. It is understandable for Liu Huasheng to make such a decision, not to mention, that Niu Yuan is also behind the gate. ”

"That's right." The emperor seemed to believe King Wu's words, and his eyes swept through the crowd, as if he found that something was wrong: "Brother Huang, why didn't I see Wang Sun Huang's nephew today?" ”

"The emperor is gracious!" King Wu knelt down on his knees again: "The rebel is stubborn, he went out to visit friends a few days ago, and he has not returned yet." ”

"It is also good to read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles, go out for a walk, and see the world." The emperor showed a loving expression on his face, and suddenly said: "By the way, it seems that Wang Sun is already eighteen years old this year, right?" I remember, February 13 was his birthday? ”

"Exactly." King Wu replied.

"Well, there's finally something that makes me happy!" The emperor's anger just now because of the reckless battle in the rivers and lakes instantly dissipated, and he seemed to be a little overjoyed, and said: "Brother Huang, you remember to remind me that I will give him a generous gift at this year's birthday banquet of the king and grandson!" ”

"Thank you for the emperor's reward, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The Martial King bowed to the ground, but an imperceptible light flashed in his eyes.

"The so-called good things come in pairs, it seems that a single birthday banquet is a bit thin, it's better to ......" The emperor thought about it, King Wu's heart was beating in vain, the emperor seemed to be a whim, it was a decision made inadvertently, but he was born half-brother, King Wu knew his younger brother too well, as a generation of emperors, how could he make a decision easily without considering maturity?

"Twenty-eight for women and twenty-nine for men, this is a good age, why don't you do this, before the birthday banquet of the prince and grandson, how about I give a family affair?" The emperor looked at King Wu as if asking.

"Your Majesty." King Wu frowned slightly, he was not a fool, when the emperor asked this sentence, King Wu realized that the marriage between Bacheng's son and Liu Yuanyuan had been leaked, and the emperor was likely to have insight into his intentions. However, this kind of thing is unfounded, and it is impossible for the emperor to use the topic to play, so King Wu is very calm: "The reverse child is only eighteen, but there are already a few partial concubines, and recently he has been entangled with a folk drama, and he will ......marry next month."

"Folk drama?" The emperor looked cold and interrupted King Wu's words: "Nonsense! How can a folk actor marry into the palace and insult the royal majesty? I can't do this family business! ”

King Wu kept his mouth shut, once everything rose to the level of royal majesty, it would be difficult to do. King Yi seized the opportunity, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the emperor's nephew and grandson are young after all, and young people are deceived for a while, so it is inevitable that they will make discordant behaviors. According to the opinion of the ministers, Yuan Qing, the daughter of Yuen Long, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is still waiting to be in the boudoir, and she and Wang Sun are the right people. ”

"What the mountains and rivers say is very meaningful!" The emperor suddenly turned his anger into joy again, and the military department Shangshu was actually attached to King Wu.

King Yi's suggestion is nothing more than to return King Wu's people to King Wu, from the perspective of the government, the secret collusion between King Wu and the Ministry of War Shangshu was just mentioned on the surface.

King Wu had a trace of resentment in his eyes, and he wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but the emperor waved his hand: "Spread my word, and the emperor's brother and heir, Zhao Wangsun, will return to the palace immediately, and marry Yuan Qing, the daughter of Yuen Long, the secretary of the Ministry of War, on a certain date, and I will personally ask for marriage!" ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The righteous king kowtowed first, and the civil and military officials also knelt down, and the mountain shouted long live.

"Thank you for the emperor's kindness, long live my emperor, long live, long live." King Wu's mouth was full of bitterness, but the emperor's golden mouth had been opened, and there was no possibility of changing this matter again.

After conveying the message, the emperor got up and took the hundred officials to symbolically turn around the Longevity Palace, and then found an excuse to go back to the palace. For the emperor, it was really simple to deal with this matter, and after returning to the palace, he left this matter behind, but King Yi and King Wu still had their own considerations.

For King Yi, it is also a good thing to be able to prevent King Wu from absorbing the Qiushan army, the only thing he is a little worried about is that under his nose, Qin Baichuan asked Tan Jiaotou to bring a word to Lord Lu, and he can invite the emperor to come out, which is really a bit intriguing. Especially Tan Jiaotou told that Qin Baichuan had more good hands such as Ding Sanshi and Ji Wuce around him, and King Yi also ordered someone to verify it, although he did not find any clues, but the more normal it is, the more abnormal it is, especially Qin Baichuan and Lu Shigao intersected, so Ding Sanshi and others are very likely to be arranged by Lu Shigao.

If the righteous king is not worried about such a situation at all, it is simply a lie, but what else can he worry about? Even Gonggong Mo knows very well that King Yi has an identity, but he has no military power, even if he knows that it is a legacy of raising tigers, he must raise it, not to mention that this time the martial king has also stretched out his hands and feet, if he can tacitly unite with the emperor once, so that the strongest martial king in the court can have a little scruples, it is also a good thing.

Thinking of these, King Yi put his mind at ease, now the most critical question left, that is, the final belonging of the Qiushan Army, King Yi originally wanted Qin Baichuan to pocket Qiushan, and he wanted to give an order to Tan Jiaotou, but after hesitation, King Yi still put down the pen. If his inference is correct, it means that the small hill has attracted the attention of the royal family.

What is basically certain is that if Qiu Shan continues to unite with King Wu, the emperor will use the excuse of "the rivers and lakes are reckless and do not obey my orders" to send troops to Qiu Shan, and if the emperor can't get it, then eradicate it! Liu Huasheng may not be able to see through this, even if he can't see through it, don't forget, Qin Baichuan is still in Qiushan, with his relationship with Liu Yuanyuan, of course he will not watch Qiushan embark on a road of no return.

In this way, there are still three roads left in Qiushan, one is to continue to be neutral, one is swallowed by Qin Baichuan, and the other is to be absorbed by Jiangling Mansion or Beijun. King Yi believes that after the emperor's decree is conveyed, Liu Huasheng will also sense a sense of crisis, not so much that the Qiushan army wants to choose a way out, but that Qin Baichuan is showing his attitude!

Even if it is neutral, it means that Qin Baichuan is still swaying between himself and the emperor, so King Yi canceled the order to let Qin Baichuan take Qiu Shan, he just wants to see what Qin Baichuan will do if he doesn't express it clearly! Once Qin Baichuan handed over Qiu Shan to Lu Shigao, then the tiger he raised in Zhaoshan River would be regarded as revealing his minions! At that time, no matter how much he loves talent, he can only be a killer!

Compared with the complicated entanglement of King Yi, King Wu's mind is much simpler. In fact, although King Wu knew about the Qiushan Army, he didn't pay attention to this team at all, and took apart the word "Yue", what big thing could a group of rabble do? What really made him agree to this marriage was a letter and a portrait sent by Niu Yuan.

In the letter, Niu Yuan clearly expressed his allegiance to King Wu, for Niu Yuan, with the union of Liu Yuanyuan and Qin Baichuan, Qiu Shan also showed a thriving scene in terms of accumulating wealth, if this continued, Niu Yuan's position was only afraid of being in jeopardy, so he had to hug another big tree. As for the portrait, it was Niu Yuan who spent a lot of money to depict it, but it was Liu Yuanyuan.

King Wu was originally disdainful of this letter and this painting, but after his son saw Liu Yuanyuan's portrait, he seemed to be enchanted, and he insisted on marrying this woman, and even invited the first strategist of King Wu's Mansion to act as a lobbyist. After the strategist learned about the beginning and the end, he took advantage of the situation and gave King Wu a trick, marrying in the open and secretly collecting the hills and mountains.

From the original intention of King Wu, after all, he has no one in his eyes, and thinks that strength is the capital to gain a foothold, so he is reluctant to use these conspiracies, and he also feels that marrying a folk actor as a wife is insulting to the majesty of the royal family, so he is unwilling to agree, but because of the clever tongue of the strategist, coupled with his son's bitter pleading, he can only let it go, of course, he also has the intention of testing the emperor's reaction.

Now that the marriage has not yet begun, the emperor has clearly ordered the marriage, and King Wu did not hesitate at all, and ordered people to rush to Qiushan for 800 miles day and night, so as to stop this marriage and take the return of King Zhao's grandson to the dynasty. For King Wu, this matter is over.
