On the council hall.

A slap of surprise shouted, "Presumptuous! ”

Emperor Fu Zhong sat on the dragon chair and scolded majestically. Just a dozen days ago, there was another person sitting in this position. That man had been bloodthirsty, stronger, and greater than he was, but he still fell like a meteor.

"It is a dream that an arrogant envoy should dare to make such a request. Someone, drag him out and behead him. ”

"Wait." Ziqi took a step forward and saluted, "Please also think twice about my father, he is the son of Sima Daozi, not an ordinary envoy." ”

"So what?" Emperor Fu Zhong snorted coldly.

Those who commit the emperor's majesty will be killed!

Zi Qi glanced at Sima Yuanxian not far away, his face was fearless, his body was straight, his eyes were lowered, but he was quiet and cold.

Ziqi Zhengse said, "Sima Daozi is the evil king of Lang, a famous minister of the Southern Dynasty, if we kill his son, it will inevitably cause disputes between the two countries." ”

The eldest prince Zichen on the side suddenly snorted lightly and said disdainfully, "Although the Southern Dynasty won the battle in Weishui, it was also a great loss of vitality, so don't be afraid." ”

This person is a little older, and he is also good-looking. He is Ziqi's half-brother, the eldest prince, and it stands to reason that he is also the rightful heir.

But when Emperor Fu Zhong was still young with Ziqi, he always looked favorably at his younger brother Ziqi, and even gave him too much favor. For example, Zidong Mansion, which was the residence of the prince, was given to Ziqi in front of the Manchu Dynasty, which caused him unnecessary gossip.

But in Zi Chen's opinion, his younger brother is wise, but his personality is too soft to take on heavy responsibilities. So openly and secretly, there is a bit of a crowd on him.

Ziqi usually avoids this situation, but this time, for the sake of Xibao's safety, he had to argue with his brothers.

"After all, this is a matter of two countries, and our Beifu has just been established, and it will take time to rectify the internal program." Ziqi admonished again, "Besides, there are big enemies such as Murong Chong and the remnants of the Daiguo Army outside, so don't take it lightly." ”

The national teacher standing behind Prince Zichen snorted disdainfully, "Then will the Southern Dynasty wade into this troubled water?" ”

The national teacher was the mentor of Prince Zichen at first, and later he has always assisted him, and he is also not very optimistic about the idle and gentle Ziqi. If he is a prince who has nothing to do, he will not object, but if he wants to threaten the future of his eldest prince, he will inevitably do the opposite.

Ziqi was thinking about Xibao's safety, and seeing that the situation was opposed one after another, his words couldn't help but become cold, "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, Xie An and Xie Shi are both like gods with soldiers, and 80,000 can defeat an army of millions, which should not be underestimated." Moreover, our army is nowhere near a million. ”

The national teacher flicked his sleeves angrily, and his snow-white beard shook as he spoke, "Prince Ziqi uses the power of others to destroy his own prestige." Fu Jian was conceited and arrogant, poisoned and crazy, and the army was full of traitors, so the army was defeated. If it were someone else, even if the Xie clan was talented, it would be impossible to win many battles. ”

"Then what if the Southern Dynasty and Murong Chong's generation join forces?"

Ziqi's inference brought the opposition in the council hall to an abrupt halt.

Yes, if the Southern Dynasty joins forces with Murong Chong or the remnants of the Dai Guo army, it will definitely be an unstoppable force. For the newly established dynasty, it is likely to be fatal.

At this time, Sima Yuanxian smiled secretly in his heart, found the right time and said, "Our Southern Dynasty is only willing to be with the strong, but there is never a shortage of strong people. ”

Zi Qi frowned slightly, feeling that Sima Yuanxian's words were arrogant and harsh. Sure enough, the prince Zichen immediately stood up and scolded, "Your Majesty, Sima Daozi's ambition is known to everyone, he has been spying on the throne for a long time, and he is a chaotic minister and thief of the Southern Dynasty, don't be gullible." ”

Sima Yuanxian's expression froze, and his gaze moved to the person next to him like a blade.

Zi Qi was afraid that he would make things more and more stiff, so he hurriedly said, "Father, at this moment, our situation is also internal and external, and the enemies can only be few, not many. If we are better with the Southern Dynasties, this reputation will also have a deterrent effect, so why not take advantage of this opportunity? ”

The national teacher bluntly reprimanded, "I think they are plotting against each other." ”

"Hehe, this person's move is really ridiculous, I think you are the one who is plotting against you." Sima Yuanxian has a hard and slender body on his side, and his eyes are fierce.

The national teacher scolded angrily, "What did you say? ”

"What did I say?" Sima Yuanxian snorted coldly, arguing with reason, "Throughout history, which dynasty will put his home and country in an embattled situation, and Beifu is the time of survival, you don't win over forces, but make enemies everywhere." Therefore, you are the heart of the country. ”

Suddenly being buttoned up with such a big hat, the national teacher was so angry that his lips turned purple, and he raised his finger and said, "You are talking nonsense, you, you ......"

"That's enough." Sitting on the dragon chair in the hall, he made a decision, "Since you have a heart in the Southern Dynasty, it will be fulfilled for you." ”

"Your Majesty is wise." Sima Yuanxian saluted, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

And Prince Zichen and the national teacher are naturally pale.

As for Ziqi, he was faintly relieved, but he still stared at him intently.

Out of the council hall, Prince Zichen and the national teacher brushed their sleeves and left.

Sima Yuanxian followed behind Prince Ziqi, looking at their departing backs and snorting, "You are really big-hearted, if you were me, you would have killed them a long time ago." ”

Ziqi glanced at him and was very disdainful, "They are all brothers, and they will be killed when they open their mouths." I see that you are young, why are you so angry? ”

Sima Yuan's eyes turned slightly, and his sad look was fleeting. He dodged his question and said bluntly, "If you don't kill him, he will kill you sooner or later." ”

"It can't be." Ziqi blurted out a denial of him, "We are brothers, and besides, I never thought of fighting with him for anything." Since childhood, I will give him whatever he wants, as long as I have it. I know he's a good and strong man, but he's not bad by nature. ”

"It's hard to say." Sima Yuanxian looked at the line between heaven and earth, and sighed slowly, "People are all changeable." ”

Ziqi looked at him, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.

- He is so cold-blooded and ruthless, he has also been tempered a lot.

That process must be extremely painful!

When the sun was shining, Ziqi finally saw Xibao again.

She stood on the bank of the river, her whole body was much thinner, facing the sunset, like a depressed reed.

I thought that Beacon would not meet after that, but I didn't expect to meet again at last.

"Hee-Po."

Ziqi called her name in the wind. The woman on the shore looked back in an instant, amazed the whole dusk.

"Hee-Po ......"

"Ziqi."

Xi Bao didn't coil her hair up like a woman, she still wore her hair loose, and her body exuded the air of a girl. Her voice was soft, plain clothes, and when she saw him familiar, she burst into tears.
