Chu Yaocen said: "I finally understand why the First Emperor had to find a way to live forever, there must be a woman he loves who talked to him like this, and when we finish solving the affairs of Wu Kingdom, we will go to find the treasure and see if there is really a way to live forever." ”

Qingdi hadn't heard of the treasure for a long time, and now he suddenly became interested and asked, "Can we really get that treasure?" Isn't it easy? ”

Chu Yaocen nodded her nose, her eyes were full of pampering, and said: "Haven't you always been very smart, why did you suddenly become stupid, the treasure left by the first emperor will naturally not be easily taken away by others, it is said that the place where the treasure is hidden is in Lishan, but the entrance to the tomb is difficult to find, although our Lu family has the key, only Grandpa Tai has entered the mausoleum alone." ”

Qingdi blinked his eyes and said, "If that's the case, it will take us a while to find the entrance after we get to Lishan?" ”

Chu Yaocen nodded: "Yes, and there are many mechanisms in the tomb, and it will not be easy to be in crisis step by step." ”

Qingdi twisted his brows: "It's still so dangerous?" Otherwise, we won't look for it, shall we? Isn't your family already rich? Coupled with the business you have developed in Nanban, isn't it enough to use these for the war? ”

Chu Yaocen chuckled twice and said, "You haven't fought before, so you don't know what it takes for an almost useless person like me to fight a war." The number of troops in my hands, if all the Huilong Sect disciples who can fight are counted, plus the veterans left behind by my father, the number is far less than the orthodox Li soldiers in the hands of Yin Sheng and Yin Lihui, and my men and horses have never been trained, so they are definitely weaker than them tactically. So I can only take out that batch of treasures to recruit troops and win over Yin Sheng and Yin Lihui's men. You ask me if my money is enough now, of course it is far from enough, and I don't want to drag my father into this dispute, so I won't use their Chu family's money. ”

Qingdi nodded: "I understand, I listen to you, anyway, whatever you want to do, I will follow you." ”

Chu Yaocen couldn't help but feel a little emotional, along the way, how many dangerous things have happened, Qingdi has never had half a word of complaint, she always understated "listen to you", but I don't know how many grievances she contains in these words. Qingdi is also an assertive person, but she always obeys him in big matters. She didn't know how many things she didn't want to do for him, and even changed herself.

However, deep down, she must not like her current self, otherwise she would not be so indulgent to Xiaohu and treat Xiaohu as her replacement.

Chu Yaocen looked at her for a long time and said, "What I owe you now, I will definitely pay you back twice in the future." ”

Qingdi glanced at him and said, "Even if you don't pay it back, I will get it back." ”

"I'm relieved if you say that, I don't have a good memory, if I forget it, I will really forget it," Chu Yaocen chuckled twice, approached Qingdi's cheek, and whispered in her ear: "So I need you to accompany me for the rest of my life and remind me from time to time." ”

Qingdi couldn't help but chuckle, pushed him away with his elbow, and was just about to speak, when he suddenly felt that there seemed to be some movement not far away, so he closed his mouth and looked over there, raised his head to look at Chu Yaocen again, and asked, "Was there someone there just now?" ”

Chu Yaocen chuckled on the corner of his mouth and said, "When you noticed, everyone was already gone." ”

"Huh? So what to do? Didn't that man hear our secrets? Qingdi said nervously.

"It's okay, I heard the footsteps just now, that person should be Zhang Xiuhe. It doesn't matter if Zhang Xiuhe knows that I have these treasures, and the cooperation between him and me will be closer. Chu Yaocen said indifferently.

Qingdi looked at him helplessly, "You already knew that there were people, and you said so much, you really didn't think it was a big deal." ”

Chu Yaocen rubbed Qingdi's hair and said, "I have the bottom in my heart, and besides, we didn't reveal more." ”

Now that he has the bottom in his heart, Qingdi doesn't say much, anyway, he always has his reason, and it's always reassuring.

Above the court, after the third prince said today that the emperor was critically ill and the prince died, the ministers became noisy, and almost half of the ministers felt that even if the emperor was critically ill, if someone wanted to be the new prince, it should be the second prince, not him.

Seeing that the third prince couldn't suppress so many ministers, the second prince came at this time, first appeased the ministers, and then said the news just announced by the third prince again, and these ministers were barely able to accept this fact.

Many ministers whispered, and there were all kinds of expressions on their faces, but without exception, they were all a little worried. After all, the emperor is not thin on them, and the crown prince is also raised by them, if the prince ascends the throne, they can guarantee that they will still be good to them, but these three princes and the second prince, they don't know much about it.

The second prince was not in a hurry to speak, and after they all calmed down, he spoke: "Ministers, I know that it is difficult for you to accept this fact for a while, and we also discussed with our father and mother for a long time before we made up our minds to tell you about this, because we don't want to deceive you. Our crown prince was brutally murdered by Prince Bei Di, and now Prince Bei Di has also been imprisoned by us in prison, what do you think we should do? ”

The second prince seems to be born with the ability to incite people's hearts, and many ministers also felt angry when they heard him explain this matter with anger, and they all said: "The deception is too great, and he will definitely be broken into thousands of pieces to avenge the killing of the prince!" ”

The second prince nodded: "This is also our idea, but the queen mother is worried that once we kill the prince of Bei Di, it will trigger a war between Bei Di and us, so that we will not be able to free up our hands, and in the future, when the civil strife in Li is at its worst, we will defeat the Li State in one fell swoop." ”

The second prince's words also revealed a message, that is, they were waiting for the opportunity to invade the Li Kingdom. As soon as these words came out, many ministers who had already been fighting for a long time were enthusiastic, and said: "Kill Toto, we are not afraid of Bei Zhai coming over." ”

There is also a rational minister of war: "It is true that you should kill Totok, it is unrealistic for Bei Zhai to fight him, they will not fight, and if we kill him, they can only suffer dumb losses...... No, we can't say that they suffer, it's their fault, we just play by the rules. ”

"Okay," the corners of the second prince's mouth lifted slightly, and he turned back to the third prince and said, "Third brother, if you don't give the order to kill Totok immediately!" ”

The corners of the third prince's mouth twitched, he saw that as soon as the second prince came, he stabilized the situation in the court, and he was still very uncomfortable, and the third prince also felt very strange about his "third brother...... He is now, but the queen mother personally identified the prince.

And he had already decided to kill Totokh, and the idea should have come out of his mouth first, not from the mouth of the second prince.

However, the third prince has a soft temperament, even if he is dissatisfied, he will not say it in front of so many people. Besides, last night, in order to vent their personal anger, they cut off their hands and feet, and they have made him a ghost and a ghost, leaving only his last breath. Now that he wants to give the order to kill him, it is just a process, and Tokhtar will soon die by himself.

The third prince ordered Totoku to be killed, and after a while, Toto's head was brought to the court.

Some ministers said angrily: "When we arrived in our country of Wu, they dared to kill our crown prince, but they simply didn't take us in the slightest, and the ministers proposed to hang their heads above the city gate and expose them to the sun for three days and three nights, so as to let others know that our country of Wu is not so easy to bully." ”

After hearing this, the second prince agreed: "What you say is reasonable, you should do it, third brother, give an order." ”

The third prince wrinkled his brows, he didn't seem to need to listen to the second prince everywhere, after all, he was now the prince. He said: "Everyone, I know you must be very angry, but it is absolutely impossible to make such a move, Tokhtar is dead, and the eldest brother will not survive, we have taken revenge, so we don't have to take an inch." There are also many envoys from other countries in Jianye City, and if they see us doing this, if they don't know the reason, they will think that we are bullying people. If they knew the reason, they would also think that our country of Wu was unforgiving, and it was too unlike the style of a country. ”

"Raising the prestige of our country, what is not like the national style? Which country won the war and did not hang the head of the opposing commander above the city gate to boost morale? Third brother, you are too kind to a woman. The second prince glanced at him indifferently and said.

The second prince didn't take him as a prince in his eyes at all, and the third prince was angry in his heart, but after all, he still didn't say anything about him, just as if he didn't treat him as a prince today, he was aggrieved in his heart, and deliberately found fault. He said: "The nature of our matter is different from that of war, if you really think that it is better to be so aggressive, then I think it is better to ask my father and mother for this matter." ”

"Third brother, my father is seriously ill, and my mother is already very tired from taking care of him, so why should you bear to bother them with this kind of thing again? Besides, the queen mother put you on the position of prince, just so that you can solve their worries and problems, if you can't solve anything, why not let your father hold the seriously ill body and continue to go to the court in person? The second prince was aggressive, staring at the third prince tightly and said.

The third prince also frowned and looked at him, his hostility was really too obvious.

There are also some ministers who think in a similar way to the three princes, and they said: "It really shouldn't be like this, the people brought by Tokhtar have not yet been fully controlled, and if this angers them, they may do something to harm innocent people, so this matter needs to be considered." ”

"Then why don't you just hurry up and control all those people?" The second prince's eyes swept over the ministers who said these words, and he said.

Just when the two sides were arguing, a voice said, "The emperor has arrived!" It rang out in the distance.
