Chapter 268
Tran Palace.
Zheng Guo's envoys stayed in Chen Guoguo's capital every day, asking to see King Chen, but King Chen did not want to see him, and he didn't want to offend Zheng Guo, so he hid in the queen's palace on the grounds of "holding illness".
The queen is the daughter of Chen Guotai's Shi Ling, who has read poetry and books since she was a child, studied history, has a dignified moral character, and has good knowledge, so she can't help but have to give a few words of advice: "What the envoy of Zheng Guo said is also reasonable, and his lips are cold." If Zheng Guo dies, our country will no longer have the barrier to face Zhao Guo, and sooner or later, they will come over. β
"Queen, I don't know how it is." King Chen held the queen's hand and sighed, "Everyone says that Lone is a virtuous king, who can know that Lone has no choice?" β
His ancestor stole Chen Guo as a courtier, with the help of the minister.
In order to secure the throne, the royal family and the family compromised with each other.
Over the centuries, the family has grown up.
They made policies in the center of the court, annexed land at the local level, supported their own merchants in commerce, and tricked the people into borrowing money and turning them into slaves.
The power of the Minister of Chen is so great that he can even depose the king.
King Chen suffered a palace change when he was young, he lived among the people, and in order to survive, he could only sell himself as a slave and hide in Taishi Ling's house to protect himself.
Tai Shiling risked his whole family being copied, found out his identity but did not report it, and his daughter knew that he was likely to never see the light of day for the rest of his life, but she still made a private agreement with him for life.
This kindness will be remembered by King Chen for the rest of his life.
A lot of things that can't be said to others at all, they and their husbands and wives retreat from everyone, and when they communicate in private, they don't have many scruples.
The queen also knew that Chen Guo seemed to be a gentleman and a virtuous man, and he was harmonious, but in fact it was not like this.
The king wants to be happy, and the courtiers raise their hands in approval; The king loves talent, it doesn't matter, the more the merrier; But if the king wants to fight, change the law, and harm the interests of the family, then he is sorry.
"That's not going to work." The queen frowned slightly, and said worriedly, "The family does not want to fight, that is because they have something to rely on. β
Chen Wang sneered: "What do you think Yin Changying is a person to mess with?" Lone still knows that the family can't be fed, how can he not know? β
"If he wants to promote Zhaoguo's policies to the world, it is equivalent to taking meat from the mouths of these people."
"What's the use of having a false name of the city lord, the land, slaves and maids are all owned by Zhaoguo, won't these city lords hate him so much?"
King Chen said firmly: "I dare to conclude that it will take as little as three or five months, or as much as three or five years, and Yin Changying will replace all these city lords." β
Speaking of this, King Chen smiled bitterly: "But by that time, the army of Zhao State will have already come to my Chen State City." β
The queen was helpless: "Even if this is the case, the Chen family will not be willing to go to war." β
Everyone has a fluke heart, although the move of Zhao Guo to defend the country and the Minister of Liang Guo is excessive, but some people will always think that it is because you did not surrender obediently!
You see that Xiancheng surrendered, there was Xun Teng, the county guard of Nanjun County, and he was still a high-ranking official; Later, there are all the city lords of Zhuguo, aren't they still their city lords?
Seeing that the queen's palms were already beads of sweat, King Chen sighed: "Gu has already summoned the way to let them continue to go to sea, especially Xu Luan." β
The queen's heart jumped: "The king wants to find immortals again?" But the immortals ...... Will it really help us? β
At that time, the immortals suddenly appeared, gave Fang Shi Xu Luan a stick of incense, and broke through the Gaoqi Pass, and the six countries were puzzled.
In the past few years, the name of Zhongtiantai has spread all over the world, and everyone has just woken up from a dream, thinking that the immortals have long known that Zhaoguo has obtained the power of "witch", and they must curb it.
Coupled with the matter of wishing the country phoenix bird, King Chen was even more convinced that the immortals of the East China Sea did exist, but whether they could resist the "witches" of Zhaoguo......
Even if people can do it, why should they help you?
King Chen has experienced the ups and downs of the world, so he naturally will not be so naΓ―ve.
Ambition was worn out as early as the moment he was forced to sell himself into slavery.
Over the years, he has followed the meaning of the Gongqing family, and has not asked about the plight of the people in the country, indulging in pleasures, asking for immortals, and corporal Lixian, just to protect himself, his wife and children, and to gain a good reputation.
Therefore, he shook his head: "Lone has already thought about it, even if he sees the immortals, he will not mention any request to 'ask the immortals to stay in our country and resist the Zhao Kingdom'." β
"Huh?"
"That phoenix bird has turned into a human form and taken refuge in Zhaoguo, immortal-" King Chen hesitated for a moment, for fear that the immortals would pay attention to him, so he didn't say anything criticizing, but said, "If you are really lucky enough to see the immortals again, you can only ask the immortals to give you the elixir, so that the queen can live forever and follow the immortals." As for the throne, leave it to the crown prince! β
The queen was in a complicated mood, and finally didn't say anything, and quietly snuggled into King Chen's arms.
The news that King Chen summoned Fang Shi and went to sea again to search for immortals immediately spread throughout the country.
In the past hundred years, the successive generations of King Chen have been obsessed with asking for immortals, especially eleven years ago, Fang Shi Xu Luan saw an extremely large fish floating from the bottom of the sea, spitting out water droplets that soared into the sky, and then the fairy appeared and gave a stick of incense, Chen Guo became even more fanatical about it.
"Three hundred beauties, a thousand boys and girls."
Xu Luan stood on the deck, twisting his long beard lightly, and exchanged glances with the sailors with satisfaction.
Fangshi, in this era, is a very magical profession.
Those who believe are incomparably devout and convinced of them; Unbelievers, thinking they are all liars, shouting and shouting and killing.
Xu Luan knows astronomy, geography, distinguishes directions, and fools the king, all of which are good hands. He also really believes that there are immortals in the world, the existence of elixir.
But since he saw the fairy, he actually gave up his plan to ask the fairy.
The reason is simple.
The way the fairy looked at him was not like a person at all, she was just looking at an ant.
At that time, Zhou Luan knew that he had cultivated an immortal all his life, but he didn't know how to do it, didn't enter it, and didn't want to humiliate himself.
But if King Chen wants him to go to sea, what can he do?
When the immortal sees him, it means that his fate is good, and it does not mean that he will see him every time.
But King Chen can't care so much, he has seen the word immortal, and if he can't see it again, it means that he is not effective.
Fortunately, it's normal to sail and get lost.
In order to protect himself, Xu Luan began to desperately ask King Chen for money, people, good things, and grain.
His reason was very reasonable, "Oh, I was about to see the immortals, but I was lost again, it must be the immortals who thought we were not religious enough to show up."
How can we show piety?
More people, money, and things, of course.
"King Chen didn't know at all, I had already found a desert island in the East China Sea, except for Shengfan, the land was fertile and the products were abundant." Zhou Luan thought proudly, "For many years, asking for boys and girls is to ask these people to take root here, and asking for beautiful women's property is to bribe the sailors and let them join me." β
If he can deceive King Chen for a day, it will be a day, and when he can't be deceived, he will go to the island, set himself up as the king, and be the overlord of one party.
But this time!
It's better to go to sea for three or five years, and then come back after Zhaoguo dominates the world!
