Chapter 137: A Thousand Obstacles
Since Lu Anjin came, the mood of the Nine Emperor Princes has been very irritable. He didn't understand why Lu Anjin had to recommend him to that hot position.
Indeed, in the past, he also wanted to become the supreme king, but after so many ups and downs, brothers killed each other, father and son killed each other, including him, his hands were already stained with blood.
The supreme position brings, except for the bloody rain and bloody wind, that is, you live or die, and there is really no benefit.
Even if he ascends to the throne, he still has to watch out for this brother and that minister every day, and if he is like this every day, he will not be able to live a good life.
The Nine Emperors thought about it, and the thirty-six plans were the best plan, but he didn't want to be a marionette, and he lived trembling and worrying all day long.
Those sleepless days, just thinking about it, feel very terrible.
It's just that he climbed up the courtyard wall and saw Lu Anjin standing on the other side of the wall, with his hands on his chest, looking at him with a smile.
The moment the Nine Emperor Prince saw Lu Anjin, it was like seeing a ghost, and he turned around and wanted to run.
"I didn't know that His Highness has a hobby of climbing walls?"
"You don't ridicule me so indiscriminately, Your Highness is not stupid, I know that you must be laughing at me now."
Lu Anjin chuckled and responded, "Well, it turns out that His Highness still has a trace of self-knowledge. ”
The Nine Emperors sat on the spot like a deflated ball, shrugged his head, and said helplessly: "Why are you here?" ”
Lu Anjin asked with a smile, "If I don't come, won't I be able to see this good show?" ”
"How do you know that His Highness is fleeing today... No, I'm going to go out and play. ”
"Your Highness is sure that you are going out to play, not to run away."
The Nine Emperor Princes looked at Lu Anjin expressionlessly, clenched his silver teeth, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth. "Yes, you read that right, His Highness is just going to leave here, why, you still want to trap His Highness here?"
"Why doesn't Your Highness want to be the king?"
When it came to this matter, the Nine Emperors felt a very toothache, "Why do I want to become the king of Narauszi, why should I be wasted in the imperial city after I have a good life?" ”
Lu Anjin smiled lightly, "Your Highness, your brothers have sharpened their heads and want to get the throne, why did they come to you so disdainful?" ”
"If they want it, let them take it. Your Highness doesn't want it, and don't force it on me! ”
"Are you sure you don't?"
The Nine Emperor Princes said firmly, "Don't! ”
"Ask again, are you sure?"
The Nine Emperors looked at him steadfastly, and swore solemnly: "Your Highness is sure, sure, and must not!" ”
Lu Anjin glanced at him lightly, and said slowly, "After this village, but there is no more shop, Your Highness, you must think clearly." ”
"Your Highness has thought very clearly and thoroughly, if you do well, let Your Highness go."
Lu Anjin was silent for a moment, and the heart of the Nine Emperor Princes was hanging high all the time.
He knew very well in his heart that although this person was giggling and couldn't speak, he was not her opponent if she had a twist and turn, and she was not her opponent.
Moreover, what his future fate will be depends on this person's thoughts, whether it is life or death, glory or exile, it is all up to her to judge.
Who made his skills inferior to others became a prisoner of the ranks.
Lu Anjin didn't speak for a long time, and the Nine Emperor Princes had been worried, he secretly glanced at Lu Anjin several times, and snapped his fingers anxiously.
Just as he was waiting to jump off the city wall, Lu Anjin finally spoke, "I'm afraid I can't..."
The Nine Emperors' hearts were cold.
He asked with a shaky mouth, "What can't you do?" ”
Lu Anjin looked at him very seriously, "I can't achieve what I want." ”
The Nine Emperors collapsed, like frosted plantains, listless.
He instantly felt that the world was not beautiful at all. The person in front of him is a complete devil.
"Since His Royal Highness is very reluctant to become the master of Beixiao, then I will not be reluctant, after all, this twisted melon is not sweet, and I don't like to eat bitter melon."
The Nine Emperors were stunned and didn't react for a while.
Seeing his stupid appearance, Lu Anjin couldn't help but tease: "Why is Your Highness stupid?" Don't you think it's a pity? Now I want to regret it, and I'm in a hurry. ”
"No, no, no, who said that His Highness regretted it, His Highness didn't regret it at all. Your Highness, this is so happy! ”
Lu Anjin smiled and shook his head, "Come down and talk, I don't want to keep looking up at you." ”
Nine Emperors: ......
He never thought that Lu Anjin would let him go so easily. Until his feet hit the ground, he still felt like he was in a dream, and he walked a little fluttery.
"Your Royal Highness, as the prince of Beixiao, you should carry the Jiangshan Sheji of Beixiao, but your heart is not here, and I can't force it. It's just that Bei Xiao is in a chaotic situation now, and it must be unrealistic for His Highness to want to take a corner of peace and guard your one-third of an acre. ”
The Nine Emperors' heart, which had not yet cheered, instantly cooled in half, and he muttered in a low voice: "Going around, you just don't want to let go of His Highness easily." ”
Lu Anjin smiled lightly, "Your Highness's words are wrong, you misunderstand what I mean." ”
The Nine Emperor Princes snorted coldly, turned his head to the side arrogantly, and put on a posture of refusing to talk.
Lu Anjin was helpless, "Nine Emperor Princes, if you don't want to be the king, I won't force you, but you don't want to watch the people live in dire straits." ”
"You have sharp teeth and sharp mouth, Your Highness can't say anything about you."
"Bei Xiao can't be without a dragon all the time, His Highness has two choices now."
There were two more choices, and the Nine Emperors suddenly had a big head.
"First, you can choose to become the king of Beixiao; Second, you can choose to incorporate Northern Xiao into the territory of Eastern Qi. ”
The Nine Emperor Princes turned their heads suddenly, stared at her with cracked eyes, and gritted his teeth and said, "You want to make Your Highness the sinner of Beixiao through the ages." ”
"Your Highness is serious, after this war, Beixiao's national strength has become the worst among the four countries. In addition, although Beixiao has a vast territory, the land is barren, and the climate is harsh, so it is not suitable for human habitation. ”
The Nine Emperor Princes knew that what Lu Anjin said was the truth, but he still felt very harsh.
"Since Bei Xiao is so unbearable in your eyes," he sneered, "Then why do you still stare here like a hungry wolf." ”
Lu Anjin knew that the Nine Emperor Princes were very dissatisfied with her contempt for Bei Xiao, and she didn't care about his disrespectful words.
She said bluntly, "There is no monarch in this world who is unwilling to expand his territory, and there is no monarch who is unwilling to dominate the world and become the real master of this world." ”
The Nine Emperors' heart chuckled, and he looked at Lu Anjin's clear eyes in disbelief, "Your real purpose is to dominate the world?" ”
Lu Anjin chuckled, "Why not?" ”
"It's a shame."
"Whether it succeeds or not, it is my business, and it has nothing to do with Your Highness. Your Highness, I dare to guarantee that after Beixiao is incorporated into my Eastern Qi territory, the common people will not be hungry. ”
Although it is not possible to guarantee that every family can be well-off, it is still not a problem to solve the basic problem of food and clothing.
The Nine Emperor Princes were stunned for a moment, "Anyone can say it, it's easy to say, but it's even more difficult to do." ”
Lu Anjin smiled lightly and said, "Shall we make a bet?" ”
"Bet on what?"
"Just bet that I can make the vast majority of ordinary people live a good life in peace and contentment."
"What if you lose?"
Lu Anjin looked at him straight and said word by word: "If I lose, you can take my life at any time!" ”
Want to bet so big?
The Nine Emperors made a difficulty, and he was silent for a long time, and finally made up his mind.
He gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice, "Okay, His Highness has made a bet with you." Say, what do you want Your Highness to do? ”
"Your Highness doesn't have to be so bitter and vengeful, you don't have to do anything now, you just need to stay here honestly and wait for Prince Rong to come to you."
"What is he looking for from me?"
Lu Anjin chuckled, "Naturally, I want to help you ascend the throne as king." ”
The Nine Emperor Princes looked at her speechlessly, and the corners of their mouths twitched. The topic of daring to love went around and around, and finally returned to the original point.
"Your Highness don't worry, what he asks you to do, if you are happy, you will agree; If you are not happy, you can refuse directly. ”
The Nine Emperors felt that his teeth hurt even more, and she was sure that if she did this, she wouldn't be pulling hatred for him again.
Prince Rong didn't let Lu Anjin wait too long, and soon found the door.
At that time, the Nine Emperors were pretending to hide in the study and fight crickets.
Prince Rong glanced at the very quaint courtyard, frowned and tasted the tea, whether it was color or taste, it was very low, and his brows were furrowed even tighter.
Although the Nine Emperors wanted to take Qiao, they didn't dare to make Prince Rong wait too long in the end.
Looking at the belated Nine Emperor Princes, the wrinkles on Prince Rong's brows could kill ants.
"Prince Rong is here, His Royal Highness has missed the welcome, and please don't blame Prince Rong."
The Nine Emperors respectfully made a slap to Prince Rong, and forced Prince Rong's reprimand to the corner of his mouth.
He couldn't get up and down in his breath, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
"This king heard the housekeeper say, you are just reading in the study?"
The Nine Emperor Princes nodded, he was reading, but he was just reading a small book that was circulating in the market.
After that, there was no more, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere fell into a wave of embarrassment for a moment.
Prince Rong picked up the cup on the table, remembered the bad taste before, and silently put the cup down.
The Nine Emperor Princes didn't want to fight with him, so they asked straight to the point, "I don't know if Prince Rong is here today, do you have any advice?" ”
Prince Rong was silent for a moment, and then said bluntly: "This king asks you, if this king puts you on the throne, what will you do?" ”
"In this case, I am afraid that it will disappoint the prince, His Royal Highness has no intention of becoming the king, and he does not want to become the king."
Prince Rong was stunned for three or four seconds before he reacted, "What did you just say, you don't want to be the king?" ”
The Nine Emperor Princes nodded heavily, "Thank you for your love, it's just that His Royal Highness thinks that he is only shallow in his studies and has no ability to take charge of Beixiao, so please find other people with lofty ideals." ”
Was he really rejected?
Prince Rong glanced at the Nine Emperors suspiciously, wondering if there was something wrong with his head.
