"Okay, don't pretend here, get angry with him, I can't do it!" The emperor, who was still full of sadness just now, suddenly laughed: "I just think that his scoundrel methods are somewhat similar to me to some extent. ”

Gonggong Mo kept his mouth shut, although the emperor insulted Qin Baichuan, the appreciation implied in his tone could not be concealed no matter what. Not only the emperor, even if Gonggong Mo had a lot of curiosity about this Qin Baichuan, who had never met, he also had a lot of curiosity, and the government was operated according to the business, this kind of thing they had never thought of before, but it was really implemented, it was only less than a month, and the mortgage handed over by the franchisee Jia of the Jiangling Ministry of Commerce alone already had nearly 300,000 taels of silver, who could not admire such a wealth accumulation ability?

"Your Majesty," seeing that the emperor was silent, Grandpa Mo rarely took the initiative: "The old slave thinks that he has to help with this favor by letting go of his personal prejudices." ”

"How so?" The emperor asked again.

"The emperor gave him that token, I'm afraid he had the intention of using him to balance the five dragons, and the old slave said that he had the right to deal with it from the token." Gonggong Mo repeated, and said: "Moreover, Lord Lu played the last time, the power of the Longevity Palace has infiltrated his side, and the emperor's dragon guard is also involved, the old slave is not listening, in fact, the secret war between His Majesty and the Righteous King has begun, and the key person is Qin Baichuan." ”

"King Wu's marriage this time probably offended Qin Baichuan's rebellion, and taking him as an opportunity, the emperor knew about it, how could King Yi not know? It is not so much that this is the jealousy between Qin Baichuan and King Zhao, but that the emperor and King Yi have joined forces to test the bottom line of King Wu. Father-in-law Mo is also very sinister: "If it becomes the best, it doesn't matter if you lose, all the blame can be put on Qin Baichuan." ”

"Makes sense." The emperor nodded: "That kid is really hateful, if I had saved the determination to swear allegiance to me earlier, I would still use virtue to look forward to the future?" To tell the truth, in terms of open-mindedness and disregard of previous suspicions, I am much worse than mountains and rivers. ”

"The old slave doesn't think so." Gonggong Mo shook his head and said, "It is true that the righteous king has a chivalrous reputation, but this is also his choice in desperation. If he does not magnify his advantages in a certain aspect, how can he unite a group of people to do things for him? And Your Majesty is the king of a country, and everything is important to the society of the country, and he can't do whatever he wants...... As the saying goes, the righteous king is barefoot, and His Majesty wears boots. ”

"Aren't you afraid to wear shoes barefoot?" The emperor laughed again, this sentence is very vulgar, but it is very appropriate: "I understand what you mean now, you mean that Qin Baichuan has an unclear relationship with me and King Yi, it is like a puddle of troubled water, and no one knows what will happen in the future." Do you want to use this as an opportunity to bring my imperial brother in and muddy the waters? ”

"Your Majesty, that's what the old slave meant." Grandpa Mo bent down and said.

"It's a good way...... But what I'm worried about is that although Qin Baichuan is hateful, he always has his own value. If, with my support, he acted too aggressively, my imperial brother would not have the good temper of me and the righteous king. The emperor groaned.

"Your Majesty, this is a matter of concern, and you are too worried." For the first time, Gonggong Mo questioned the emperor's words: "With the emperor's understanding of Qin Baichuan, he acts perversely, but he is not a reckless person, he should know when to stop; On the Martial King's side, it was true that he was angry with Qin Baichuan, but on the premise that he was not ready to make a complete break with the emperor, he did not dare to make radical moves. ”

The emperor nodded again and again, and Gonggong Mo's eyes were cold: "In the end, King Wu really wants to kill Qin Baichuan...... Unless the army in his hands is mobilized, it is really difficult to say who will win and who will lose. ”

"Needless to say." The emperor waved his hand decisively and hummed: "Father-in-law Mo, prepare two holy decrees for me!" The first way is to inform the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to go to the Longevity Palace tomorrow, worship the sky, and pray for the blessings of all the people! The second way is to pass a message to Lu Shigao Feige, and ask him to select young people who meet the requirements of the Elysian Army, or experienced sergeants from the state capitals, to fill the Elysian Army! There is only one principle, improve the system of the Elysium Army as soon as possible! ”

"Wow!" Father-in-law Mo agreed, and immediately grinded beside him, the emperor's two holy decrees were very interesting. Generally, after the first month, the day of worship is selected, which is the day when the dragon raises its head, which means that the emperor can talk directly to the sky, but the emperor hurriedly advanced a few days, obviously wanting to help Qin Baichuan in the name of sacrificing to the sky.

The second holy decree is even more intriguing, Qin Baichuan's war department has been established for a month, and the emperor has just had a scale, and secretly ordered Lu Shigao to transfer sergeants to fill the Bliss Army, on the one hand, it is also to help Qin Baichuan strengthen the strength to resist the Martial King, on the other hand, how can there be no emperor who wants to control the Bliss Army by means of the Duosai people?

When Father-in-law Mo prepared the holy decree and the emperor checked that there was no omission, he covered the jade seal, and when Father-in-law Mo hurriedly wanted to go out and send someone to spread the holy decree and release the carrier pigeon, the emperor suddenly spoke: "Slow! Let Lu Shigao hand over this note to Qin Baichuan! ”

Grandpa Mo hurriedly bowed back, took the small note with the ink not dry, and only a few words were written on it: "You fucking owe Lao Tzu again!" ”

After taking this note, Grandpa Mo grinned, wanting to laugh, but he didn't dare, hurriedly agreed, ran out of the imperial study to find a place where no one was, and finally couldn't help laughing. From ancient times to the present, which emperor have you ever seen write a note to a cloth cloth? It's okay to write a note, but which emperor has you ever seen who can use foul language? Qin Baichuan is a wonder, in fact, so is the current emperor.

After Gonggong Mo had laughed enough, he ordered people to go around to spread the holy decree, and he carefully sealed the secret letter to Lu Shigao and released it back to Jiangling through carrier pigeons. Not to mention that Lu Shigao received the holy decree to make corresponding arrangements, but said that although the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were a little surprised by the emperor's change of the date of the sacrifice, the monarch's order was difficult, and no one raised any objections and hurriedly prepared.

Before dawn the next day, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty gathered in the imperial city, a team of armor soldiers opened the way first, the dragon was in front, and the hundred officials followed, and drove to the Longevity Palace. The Longevity Palace also made arrangements early, and all the procedures were orderly, when a round of red sun emerged from the east, the emperor led the hundred officials to kowtow, and then it was a lengthy process.

After the sacrifice was completed, just when the civil and military officials thought that the emperor was going to return home, the emperor looked around and said with a smile: "This year's spring seems to be earlier than in previous years, and I will suffocate to death if I am in the palace all day long." It's hard to get out of the palace once, brother Huang, mountains and rivers, you will accompany me for a walk? ”

"Commandment." On the left hand side of the emperor is a military general wearing gold chain mail, with a square face and a wide mouth, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a hard stubble on his chin. King Wu is the emperor's elder brother, and the emperor can call him "brother", but King Wu cannot call himself one.

"Brother's order." On the right hand side of the emperor is the righteous king wearing a purple and gold dragon robe and an extraordinary weapon.

"Let's go." The emperor walked slowly, King Wu and King Yi guarded the left and right, and the civil and military officials slowed down and followed behind. The emperor's interest seems to be quite high today, and he seems to be a little touched by what scenery he saw, and he made two poems in just one hour, which caused hundreds of officials to applaud.

"Brother Huang, mountains and rivers, do you know why I advanced the day of worshipping the heavens?" The emperor seemed to be a little tired, sat down in a pavilion in the Longevity Palace, and asked with a smile.

"I don't know." King Wu didn't talk much.

"My brother doesn't know." King Yi also shook his head, he had actually received the flying pigeon transmission from Tan Jiaotou, and he also realized that the emperor's change of the date of the sacrifice to heaven might be to solve the matter between Qin Baichuan and Zhaowang Sun, or with King Wu, but he couldn't break it.

"I heard that the Anyang coastal army was tragically annihilated, and Desheng died in battle?" The emperor asked an irrelevant question.

"The things on the rivers and lakes, the mountains and rivers should be clearer than the ministers." King Wu got rid of the relationship for the first time.

"Exactly." King Yi's heart moved slightly, Black Tiger Mountain is not his force, but he has made some efforts to destroy the coastal army, doesn't the emperor want to solve the matter of King Wu, why is this matter involved? There was some doubt in his heart, but there was not the slightest flaw on his face: "As far as my brother knows, there were some conflicts between Heihu Mountain and the coastal army due to the uneven distribution of resources, and then Qiu Shan, Dongying Ronin, and the fat water thieves entrenched in the sea all joined the battle, and the coastal army was destroyed. ”

"What a guts! Hmph, the war in the north is over, and when the water and grass are abundant after autumn, there will be a battle between the barbarians and the Great Song! I have long ordered that the forces in the rivers and lakes must not fight bravely and ruthlessly in private, and must not provoke disputes, and even ordered to encourage private armies! But they still dare to make trouble, where do they put me! The emperor slammed the table, and all the civil and military officials, including King Yiwang, all the people present knelt down on their knees, silent.

"Mountains and rivers, you say!" The emperor pointed to the righteous king.

"Your Majesty, there has always been a contradiction between Heihu Mountain and the coastal army, and the imperial court has always taken a tacit attitude towards the battle of the rivers and lakes, and when the emperor gave the order, he only said that he encouraged the private army of the people, and did not issue an order to stop killing, so there is today's situation." The righteous king is neither humble nor arrogant.

"According to you, it's my fault?" The emperor didn't change his color, and hummed.

"Brother Dare." King Yi hurriedly bowed his head.

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that whether these rivers and lakes are reckless, or whether they are private armies, they will never know the cruelty of the battlefield if they have not been on the battlefield. The so-called survival of the fittest, then you might as well let them fight among themselves, and those who survive will be the strongest, and when they are reorganized in the future, General Di Lao can also waste some thoughts. King Wu also opened his mouth to persuade.

"Hmph." The emperor snorted coldly and was noncommittal: "A group of reckless people who don't listen to my orders, what's the use of me!" I advanced the date of the sacrifice to the heavens, just to remind those Jianghu people through this move! This world is my world, and I can sacrifice to the sky whenever I want, and the same is true for the recklessness of the rivers and lakes! I acquiesce when I say yes, and I will exterminate if I want to exterminate! ”

"The emperor thinks twice!" The faces of King Wu and King Yi changed in unison, and they kowtowed loudly.
