Chapter 170: The End of the Story

Profit, between people, between countries, is always constantly balanced, constantly conflicted, and finally to the point of life and death.

There were two more countries in the border that wanted to compete with the imperial capital. They had previously submitted to the imperial capital, and they had not been at peace recently.

Pei Shengyuan warned many times, and they always prevaricated for various reasons. Either the harvest was not good, or there was a major accident in the country, and it was impossible to pay tribute to the imperial capital. Every year, an envoy is sent to the imperial capital to return to the service.

Such words are obviously lies. In the past few years, their country has been in good weather, how can it be that the harvest is not good?

In fact, he has a different heart and wants not to surrender to the imperial capital.

The most excessive thing is that they connived at their subordinates to turn into bandits and harass the people of the imperial capital.

They come out to rob every once in a while, plundering property when they see it, taking women away when they see it, and sometimes killing people in the process.

This is simply too deceitful, Pei Shengyuan issued several warning edicts to the monarch.

They are always perfunctory, saying that they are the work of bandits, and they try their best to suppress them, but they cannot put an end to them.

Pei Shengyuan gave an ultimatum, if the people in the imperial capital were harassed again. The imperial capital will send troops to help them suppress the bandits. Even if they are hiding in the palace, they will definitely be found and brought to justice.

Unexpectedly, they deliberately provoked, not only did not relent, but intensified.

Pei Shengyuan was furious and ordered the two countries to be subjugated.

An An led the army in the army, and in just three months, he was able to subdue these two restless countries in a row. They re-signed the contract of submission and made up all the parts that had not been paid in previous years. In the future, if they dare to repeat their old tricks, the emperor will set foot on their country.

The two monarchs saw An An's ability to lead the army, and none of them dared to squeak, and this episode ended like this.

The matter reached the imperial capital. The crowd praised him for his bravery and wisdom.

At such a young age, with such an act, the prince of the imperial capital is indeed an extraordinary person.

This matter is getting more and more outrageous, and some people say that An An has the help of heaven, and he will subdue two countries with one shot.

Others say that he is a military wizard, and that he is already a great general at a young age. If it weren't for the fact that he was going back to Beijing to learn the ** King's Etiquette Law, he would definitely still be training in the army now.

An An returned to the capital, and the former neutral ministers were now convinced of him, and they all praised his talents.

In the future, under his leadership, the imperial capital will be able to move towards greater glory and strength.

And some of the opponents are now silent. They no longer object, because it is useless to oppose it.

When the eldest prince saw him return to the palace, he was very jealous. This should have been his credit, just because he was the son of the people, so he was destined to get more than him.

The eldest prince came to the prince's mansion and said provocatively: "Brother Huang, all of what you have obtained now is mine." My qualifications are stronger than yours, and I am more suitable to be a prince. ”

An An smiled and said, "Brother Huang, be careful of the trouble coming out of your mouth." Be careful when you speak! I don't know who will be the crown prince, because I'm far away. This is all the meaning of the father, if the corner of the person opinion, go to the father! He'll tell you the answer. ”

The eldest prince snorted and said loudly: "I don't lose this person, let me ask you, do you dare to compete with me, if you win, I will never fight with you again, and I will always be loyal to you." ”

An An smiled: "Brother Huang, we are brothers, why make such an ugly fuss?" I really don't know about the establishment of a prince. I didn't get in the way. ”

The eldest prince had lost his mind, and he said, "Let's find a place where no one is here to compete." If you're not as good as others, I won't accept it. ”

An An said helplessly: "As an emperor, it is far from enough to be strong in martial arts. Have you ever known which people are still hungry and how many are homeless? The way to be a king is to seek the well-being of the people of the world, not to do whatever you want. ”

The eldest prince was still unwilling: "Don't be verbose, are you willing to compete with me?" ”

He has also been arrogant for too long, and if he doesn't give him some color, it is estimated that he will be entangled to death.

An An asked: "Is it that if you lose the competition, you will never be embarrassed with me again?" ”

"Yes!"

"Don't do anything harmful to the imperial capital in the future?"

"I'll do it."

An An said: "Okay, then let's go to the open space in the back mountain to compete."

They came to the back mountain, where no one walks around all year round, so there are many weeds on the road.

An An didn't care, and asked, "Brother Huang, how are you preparing?" “

The eldest prince said, "I have already changed my clothes, can I start now?" ”

An An smiled: "Yes." ”

The eldest prince raised his sword, even if he attacked, An An deftly dodged. After dozens of moves, the eldest prince was a little tired, and An An was still like a nobody.

The eldest prince asked, "Why do you only hide and don't attack?" ”

An An smiled: "You attack me, I dodge, isn't this normal?" Why do we have to fight hard? ”

The eldest prince said angrily: "Don't you look down on me, why don't you fight me?" ”

An An asked, "Brother Huang, do you really want me to beat you?" ”

The eldest prince said: "Nonsense, of course the competition has to be fought against each other!" ”

An An said: "Brother Huang, then you should be careful. I'm going to fight back! ”

An An drew his sword, and quickly attacked the great prince with a sword. The speed was extremely fast, the sword slashed through the wind, and a whirring sound came out.

Daegu was stunned on the spot, what kind of swordsmanship did he learn, why was he so fast?

However, he finally reacted and dodged sideways.

An An's backhand changed the direction of the sword again. This time, the eldest prince did not dodge, and An An's sword rested firmly on his neck.

An An smiled and said, "Brother Huang, I agreed." ”

The eldest prince said angrily: "This doesn't count, how can there be such a thing as you." I haven't fought yet! You're cheating. ”

An An said: "Brother Huang, being a man has to be a man, have you forgotten all the words you said just now?" ”

The eldest prince said: "Let's try a few more times, just once, and I'm still not convinced." I don't believe that your strength is higher than mine. ”

An An was helpless, it seemed that if he didn't show his hands, he wouldn't give up.

"Then let's try a few more times, you lose, and you will settle down in the future. Don't make a fuss, okay? ”

The eldest prince replied, "Yes, I promise you." As long as you can win me. ”

An An stopped talking, and attacked him again.

With more than ten moves, An An got his death hole again.

The eldest prince was unwilling, and he had to compete.

An An competed with him again, and in ten competitions, all of them were lost by the eldest prince, and none of them exceeded twenty moves, so he lost to An An.

He asked incredulously, "Brother Huang, why are your martial arts so strong." ”

An An sneered: "My martial arts have been very strong since I was a child. ”

"Then you lost to me on weekdays, all of them were pretended?"

"Yes, I don't want to get into trouble, if you win, you can solve these problems, why do I have to win you?"

"So all these years, you have been hiding your strength, confusing us, and making me think that I am much better than you, right?"

"Confucianism speaks of the golden mean, impartiality. There are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains, and they are not willing to be proud of this little talent. ”

The eldest prince put away his sword and said calmly, "Brother Emperor, I lost. You are indeed more fit to succeed to the throne than I am. I'll be loyal to you from now on, how about it? ”

An An said: "You are a citizen of the imperial capital, and you should be loyal to the imperial capital, not to me alone." ”

The eldest prince smiled: "In the future, you will be the monarch and loyal to the imperial capital, isn't it the same as serving you?" ”

An An said: "Okay, whatever you want." ”

An An has not yet reached the age of a weak crown, and has cleared all obstacles. As long as Pei Shengyuan abdicated, he took the throne.

Yang Mubai is already an amiable old man in his fifties.

She is still the same temperament, warm and kind.

With the efforts of Pei Shengyuan in the past few decades, he has brought the imperial capital to the most powerful position. He already knew Pingping's strength, and he could rest assured that the imperial capital would be handed over to him.

He believes that as long as An An works hard, he will not be inferior to him.

On Yang Mubai's fiftieth birthday, he stepped down from the throne and passed it to An An.

An An prepared for seven years in order to take over the throne. From the age of thirteen, he stepped into the barracks and began to plan.

He silently set himself a grand goal in his heart, and he wanted to do his best for the prosperity of the imperial capital.

After An An ascended the throne, one day in the capital, he saw Princess Gao Ling. She smiled and said to him, "Your Majesty, congratulations! ”

Seeing her playful, An An always felt uncomfortable. This woman, what did she do in the imperial capital?

Pingping is getting more and more comfortable in Tubo, because the people around her are very friendly to her, and the people of Tubo are full of praise for him.

The only shortcoming is that Prince Zhu Dan still treats him coldly.

Fortunately, she didn't care about that.

After another half a year, the king of Tubo changed the crown prince to the prince of Qingyi, and stationed in the border fortress forever.

After another three months, the monarch appointed Prince Zhudan as the crown prince.

He ran to Pingping and asked calmly: "Princess Jincheng, I am already the crown prince, and I will be the king of Tubo in the future." Do you have any thoughts on this? ”

Pingping said with a smile: "My husband is so powerful, he was made the prince so soon, it's really gratifying!" How about we drink some wine today? ”

She put down the child in her arms and wanted to have a drink with him.

Prince Zhudan said: "I'm so stupid, how could I come to tell you this." ”

Ping Ping was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

Prince Zhudan said: "From the expression I just had, I know. You already knew about it, didn't you? Or you calculated it from the beginning. ”

Ping Ping said: "Zhu Dan, how old are you, why are you still so naïve?" Being in the harem, without a little survival skills, you can't survive to the biggest. How many pairs of tigerish eyes, and what could be more devastating? ”

"Tell me honestly, did you arrange it when you met the assassins?"

"Of course not, how could I hire someone to assassinate myself. Look at the scars on my hands, they can never be erased. ”

"Then I was made the crown prince, did you know in advance?"

An An said helplessly: "Prince Zhudan, if you are not the prince of Tubo and the monarch of the country in the future, how can I marry you?" ”

Prince Zhudan asked, "Then did you deliberately let the assassin hurt you?" ”

"Yes, I will let the king know that there will be people who will work against me. And this person is the crown prince. You see, the king has also found him. ”

Zhu Dan Taiyuan said helplessly: "Kick the prince away, make my father feel more guilty about me, compensate me, and later really make me the prince." Because of this incident, you have received many more elite soldiers from the imperial capital. Everything, you can figure it out. You're simply horrible. ”

Ping Ping said: "Prince Zhudan, you knew before you married me. We don't love each other, and don't you agree to save your mother? You don't have to ask about everything I do in the future, as long as you cooperate with me. ”

Prince Zhudan said angrily: "Why should I listen to you? ”

Ping Ping said: "If you dare not obey me, I will return to the imperial capital." When you see it, my father's iron horse will not step into Tubo. ”

"You threaten me?"

"Of course not! I will earn you the crown prince. You still blame me for that, do you think I should be angry? ”

Prince Zhudan said: "I don't want this, I just want to live in peace." ”

"Then you shouldn't have married me in the first place! You want to live in peace, so why was your mother framed? Why can't you marry Nini, or am I the master so that you can accept her? Born in the royal family, this is our sorrow. If you don't want to fight, you have to fight, otherwise others will not let you go. ”

Prince Zhudan asked, "Then what do you plan to do in the future?" ”

Ping Ping said: "It's very simple! You wait to sit on the throne of king, and then intimidate the surrounding countries into making them submit to you. If not, send my escort, and I will also ask my imperial brother to send troops to support. Catch them all. Of course, the Tubo kingdom also had to swear allegiance to the imperial capital. ”

"Then you won't marry for the rest of your life?"

"It doesn't matter! If you come across a suitable one, you can still consider it. But I don't think about it at the moment. ”

Prince Zhudan sighed: "How good it would be if you were a man, it must be very exciting for you to compete with the prince of the imperial capital." ”

Ping Ping said with a smile: "Both of us are extremely smart people, how can we compete with the imperial capital, but we are secretly competing a few times, and whoever wins will continue to be on the throne." ”

"You're so funny!"

"Prince Zhudan, you sit on the throne without much effort, what else is there to be dissatisfied with? I got all this for you, and you give me something back, shouldn't you? ”

Prince Zhudan sneered and said, "Yes, at least what I want, you gave it to me." Then what you want, I can also give it to you. We call it taking what he wants. ”

"Wouldn't it be nice if you could think like that? We agreed that this should be the relationship between us. ”

Prince Zhushan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll do what you want." ”

Prince Zhudan ascended the throne three years later and became the new monarch of Tubo.

With Pingping's assistance, the surrounding countries all paid tribute to them, and the Tubo State signed a pact of eternal allegiance to the imperial capital.

After Pei Shengyuan abdicated, An An took over the imperial capital, and in only two months, he handled all the affairs of the emperor with ease.

His ability to govern is not inferior to Pei Shengyuan.

Pei Shengyuan did not forget the agreement with Yang Mubai at the beginning, and after An An'an's position was stable, they left the palace and went to the city-state of Yiwu.

This was what they had agreed twenty years ago to grow old together in the city-state of Iou. Wake up early to watch the sunrise and watch the sunset in the evening.
