In the main hall, the eldest prince's expression was extremely struggling, he seemed to be in pain, and he was very reluctant to accept the foreign minister's suggestion, however...... There was a certain crazy longing and reluctance in his expression, he thought and thought about it hesitantly, and his eyes wandered in the hall.

The foreign minister looked at him, but he already smiled leisurely again: "Your Highness, don't forget, this matter is difficult for the empire to choose. ”

"We can give up on them very helplessly and helplessly -- after Your Majesty knows about it, and the people know about it, it is very likely that they will not be able to accuse us, so they can only acquiesce in helplessness."

"What can we do? What else can we do? You know, that's nearly 100 million people who are our staunch allies, and hundreds of millions of people in the Western Continent! Nearly 400 million lives combined! As soon as we choose the first one, they die! Die for our decisions! ”

"When that time comes...... You...... I am afraid that not only will I not be able to inherit the throne, but I will also be the best candidate for scapegoat...... Your Majesty still has the imperial grandson anyway, doesn't you? ”

His voice became violent again and again, and he spoke in an extremely gloomy voice afterwards. The eldest prince's face was already shaking again and again with his words, and his face was already covered with dark clouds when he heard his last words.

……

"So, Your Highness, do you think you really deserve it for someone else...... Do you want to hurt yourself? And if you want to keep yourself first...... We didn't mean to, we had to make that choice! A difficult choice under a dilemma, a helpless choice! No one will blame you, because no one can pat their chests and make what they think is a good choice - aren't President Meng and Zhu Shoufu still helpless? Still noisy? ”

And if we really chose that...... Hope East Island, what has been lost? They have the leadership of His Royal Highness King Yong, the magical blood elves, and the extremely favorable defensive terrain, they may be more difficult, but they may not be afraid of the barbarians. They will not be the natural barrier before the empire and even the mountains and seas. Another Great Wall? This also lives up to the name of the Great Wall of the Xie Empire in the far north. ”

He said leisurely.

……

"What's more, Your Highness, there is a more important key point that I haven't told you yet."

The foreign minister's expression suddenly changed, and he seemed to be striking while the iron was hot, and suddenly, the eldest prince, who was full of anxiety, also looked at him suspiciously.

"Think about it, the Xie clan in the extreme north is already an imperial royal family, and I hope that only His Royal Highness King Yong can open the passage to it in the East Island, and the people there. Maybe I don't have much impression of the royal family, but I have long been very supportive of the Lin family and the Xie family - and our Chinese military god seems to be dead set on His Royal Highness King Yong, which is already known to passers-by in the empire, and it seems that the Lin family and the Xie family are likely to be united in the future! ”

"So...... Is that place really an empire? This is simply equivalent to the enclave of that distant plane and those people, which are not owned by the empire at all, but the private property of the Xie clan, a country within a state! ”

The foreign minister said coldly, but the eldest prince's expression trembled thoughtfully again. More began with a certain inclination.

……

"But what about the Empire? Do you want the empire to revert to its ancient feudal system? And even if you don't want to, the Far North Xie clan is no longer a king! Is this really good for the Empire? Can the Empire really consider it its own territory? ”

"And such a Xie family, such a royal family. Of course, these generations of them are inseparable from the royal family as brothers, but after a few generations, will the children and grandchildren after the sincere feelings of the fathers fade away? What if not? And they. But he has already had enough prestige and status to have the most direct impact on the status and even identity of the royal family! ”

"Think about it. The twin Legendary Star Families, heaven and earth, have unique spatial control and goddess soul descendant families - they are so powerful that they are even chilling, and they are terrifying to think about! In this way, it seems that the family power that can only appear in our myths and legends is really safe if it is placed in the empire and succumbed to the Xia royal family? There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the country! One mountain can't tolerate two tigers! When two tigers fight, one will be injured! ”

The eldest prince's expression trembled violently with the foreign minister's words. The Foreign Minister smiled at this.

……

"And if we have no choice but to give up hope for the East Island...... Then if they are kings or not, what do they have to do with us? With this matter, it is also very likely to split the empire from the Xie clan in the far north - let them go to hope that the East Island will fight against the barbarians, and we will defend the empire! ”

"And after that, the influence of the Xie clan will disappear with the fading of time, and the Xia clan will always be the royal family of the empire."

"What do we get in the meantime?"

"Of course, we have lost the Extreme North Xie Clan, but it is also the Extreme North Xie Clan that cannot be lost! It is the Far North Xie clan that will cause an almost irreversible obstacle to your succession! ”

"On the other hand, we will reap the gratitude of the Western Continent and the Southern Continent in this way, and we will only be the leader of the Empire in the future in the possible re-invasion of the barbarians. They even promised us to form a combined legion under our leadership to defend the Far North directly - we were not afraid of those spatial rifts now. In that case, will humanity be at peace forever under the leadership of the Empire? ”

……

"And more importantly, we have also harvested a large area of land in the South Sea subcontinent, which in the previous agreement proposed by the alliance has forced the South Sears to agree to cede to us."

"That will be the expansion of the empire and the fact that it will become a huge empire encompassing the entire eastern continent, and it will also be a great opportunity for the empire to become the only one in the human world, but the invisible supreme master!"

"And when the time comes, the Xie clan has gone, you, in the time when Your Majesty can't look at things, reconcile the country, lead the empire to expand the territory, and be the great leader who dominates the world in one fell swoop - who can prevent you from succeeding to the throne after a hundred years of Your Majesty? You will even become another generation of great emperors of the empire after Taizu and Taizong, who are worthy of the respect of all the people and will never be forgotten by all the people, and another generation of great ancestors of the Xia family! ”

He spoke impassionedly, his voice full of demonic temptation.

……

The eldest prince's expression changed wildly, his body trembled uncontrollably, and a strange flush suddenly appeared on his pale face at first.

"That'...... Zhang Aiqing, we ...... What now? ”

He thought and thought, and at last, as if he had made up his mind, his throat stirred, and he whispered to the Foreign Minister with great difficulty.

"Your Highness. Rest assured, I've got you covered, and that's all we need to do ......"

The Foreign Minister smiled smugly, and he whispered in his ear beside the eldest prince.

"Understood...... Let me...... Think again......"

The eldest prince gradually became suddenly abrupt with his description, and all kinds of complicated expressions came out of his expression wildly, and they were hidden in the gloomy face covered by a strange flush.

Finally, he whispered.

～～～～～～～～～

A short time later, the foreign minister, humming a ditty and with a look of complacency and immortality, left the palace and appeared in a secret room.

"Father, please rest assured. This is ...... You planned well, first of all, to be neutral, so that the eldest prince had no choice but to come to us. Finally, at the last moment, give His Royal Highness the Grand Prince a blow, and this matter ...... The son-in-law is estimated to be successful! ”

He whispered to a demon with a smug face.

"That's good...... That's good......"

There was a murmuring accompanied by loud boos from the other end of the spell.

"Relieved...... I'm finally relieved...... Hell, he didn't do anything, but it's probably because of the barbarian invasion that he didn't have time to take care of us - maybe he even wanted us to live in his shadow and live in fear. The vicious idea that life is better than death! ”

……

"But now, I'm finally relieved...... We're finally relieved...... Fortunately, His Majesty was limited to the idea of delegating power and did not move your position, but fortunately you happened to be in such a key position! Otherwise, with you. With our qualifications, we can't know and use this at all, then we're finished! It's completely over! Sooner or later, he will remember us! ”

The murmur of the devil's words kept coming, and the foreign minister couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his face. A look of joy on his face.

"Yes, father."

He replied respectfully.

Shainin ...... What if you are so big that you can make us tremble on one toe? I just want to spend the rest of my life in peace, and I just want the Guo family to last for generations. Go to the Otherworld, become your King of the Otherworld, and forget about us...... If you can be killed by a barbarian or a barbarian god, that's even better......"

The murmur in the magic words came again, and then, in the dim dark room and a corner of Jiangning in the distance, there was gradually a coincidental happy laughter.

～～～～～～～～～

"What is that Xie Yun doing?"

Somewhere in Jiangning, an old guy with an aging face put down the magic words in his hand, he laughed wildly, but turned to the servant beside him.

"It should ...... Cleaning the toilet, right? ”

One of the servants said uncertainly, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes.

The old fellow nodded, his eyes full of cruelty.

"He deserves it!"

He said viciously.

"The heroic Xie clan is gone with the death of my good son-in-law...... His mother, my poor little daughter, had only been brought home for a few days, and before she could recover her senses, she fell ill and died! It is said that he still dreamed that his brother was scared to death! ”

……

"He's good, I don't know what kind of soup was poured into the soup by my good son-in-law who died in the far north during that time when he was taken home! The title is gone, and so is my good son-in-law! After returning to my Guo Mansion with his mother, he refused to ask him to follow his mother's surname to be my young master of the Guo family! ”

"Do you still think he is the son of a martyr? Is he still the genius? Even if his soul vein gradually recovered, he had already passed the most golden years, and it was already useless! His future descendants can still mix a star-level soul vein - I originally planned to leave a side branch of my Guo clan that is also a good soul vein......"

"Go, tell him to go down, and if he doesn't repent, let him be in charge of the toilet in the whole house!"

"By the way, tell him that his brother, who is full of repentance and wants to seek forgiveness, I am afraid that he will never see him again!"

"Never goodbye, Shainin!"

The old fellow smiled gloomily, and instructed the servants beside him, and then he laughed again, and the laughter was full of joy that had been lost for many years, full of ...... Unbridled triumph and madness. (To be continued......)
