Chapter 295: The Empress

It's difficult, but the two of them are young and hot-blooded, and they are not afraid at all.

Most of the Xie family's manpower is now dependent on Xie Ling's scheduling, but it is impossible to gather in one place, although he has already made arrangements, he can only provide some help, and the rest depends on the two of them.

Sister Yan and Tian Shen suspected that His Majesty's personality had changed abruptly, but someone had done it, but the people in the palace had not found out anything for a while, when Qingyue borrowed the pulse of the palace, under the cover of Concubine Qiong, the emperor's bedroom was explored, and no drug witch Gu was found.

The two of them intuitively felt that things were not simple, and now that Chu Jing was mixed with dragons and snakes, and capable people were everywhere, it was not impossible to use any method to assassinate the emperor.

With the emperor's physical condition, if he continues to indulge like this, it won't be long before his body will completely collapse.

After thinking about it again and again, the two of them secretly investigated, and at the same time wrote a letter in person, advising the emperor to establish a prince as soon as possible and stabilize the overall situation.

Shen Qiu personally delivered the letter to the emperor, and the emperor looked uncertain, and announced the prince's entry into the palace overnight.

Who doesn't want to live forever, doesn't want to live forever, but everyone reminds me all the time, you can't do it, hurry up and choose a successor, the emperor is not annoyed in his heart, but he can't be willful.

The last wishes left by my father, or the wishes left by my ancestors from generation to generation, have always been buried in my heart and never dared to forget.

Thinking like this, after retiring the beauty, the emperor asked Gonggong Xu to take out the map of various countries in the cabinet and unfold it on the huge dragon case, which was still a little unbearable.

The leather map is very well preserved, but there are not only the five countries on it, but also many countries that have disappeared from history.

When his father was dying, he handed over this map to himself, and the state of Chu did not seem to like war, but in fact, it had been planning for several generations.

In the Zhou Dynasty of that year, the four seas returned to one family, the world was divided, the royal family of the Later Zhou Dynasty declined, the countries sat big, the Chu State was a small number of foreign surnames to be crowned kings, and it was difficult to survive in the exclusion of various countries, accumulate strength, and then occupied the source of the Luo River across the world in one fell swoop, backed by the continuous snow-capped mountains, and only then did it have a stable foundation.

In the past 700 years, how many small countries have disappeared, Chu has survived tenaciously, its strength is in the forefront of the five countries, and it has the momentum of being the first in the five countries.

For hundreds of years, countries have been annexed, either in the east there is wolf smoke or in the west there are iron horses, the war has never stopped, and there are fewer and fewer countries.

Everyone has been waiting for a person who can unify the world, think about yourself, the emperor feels as if he can't wait, he has worked hard all his life, is it going to ruin the efforts of several generations when he is old?

King Ye, King Ling, King Jun, King Duan, entered the palace overnight, and the lights of the emperor's bedroom burned until the east became white.

The people outside the palace craned their necks and wanted to wait for news from the palace, but the princes talked with the emperor all night, and there was still no will.

That night, the emperor took three pills in a row, and everyone advised him to rest, but he refused, and asked them many questions in a row, and he listened carefully to them one by one.

Everyone knows that this conversation must be an important basis for the father's heart, even if it is claimed that the idler wants to be the king, he will also cheer up his spirit and answer seriously.

For them, the throne seems to be within reach, but they can't hold on to it.

King Ye never knew why he wanted the throne, but since he was born, someone told him that the future of the throne was his own, and he didn't think about what he would do in the future.

As for King Ling, for the sake of status, for ambition, for the queen mother, for Yining, for the unstoppable desires in his heart, for a lot, but this doesn't seem to be the most correct answer.

King Jun's goal when he was a child was just to be able to work with Xie Ling to get rid of those wicked people and protect the people of Great Chu, and as he grew up, he understood Xie Ling's mission, and he wanted to work with Xie Ling to govern the Chu State well.

Later, the state of Chu was coveted everywhere, and the idea of wanting to return the world to the state of Chu suddenly arose, there was no so-called compassion for the heavens and people, but this idea naturally appeared in the mind.

As a prince, King Duan didn't imagine what it would be like for him to inherit the throne, but looking at the figures of his brothers, he only felt that it was impossible, so he could only restrain himself.

The princes went out of the palace, Gonggong Xu helped the emperor to rest, and not long after, the ministers who came to ask for their lives outside came to wait outside.

But the emperor didn't care about them, "Just let them wait." ”

The Qin State is now harmonious, I thought that after the eldest princess left, no one would reconcile, and the young emperor would be young and vigorous, and the regent who would inevitably make trouble would not be at peace.

But everyone guessed wrong, the little emperor neither had a hard fight with the regent, nor did he indulge in women as everyone guessed, and he was out of control.

Although the woman outside the palace was enclosed as a concubine, and there was a lot of grace on weekdays, the little emperor was also obviously motivated, and in addition to completing his homework seriously, he also took the initiative to ask the regent for advice on political affairs, and the old ministers felt that they finally saw a glimmer of hope.

It turned out that although Yiyi was originally just a folk girl, she was also quite smart, and knew that the emperor's curiosity and love were unreliable, so she tried her best to persuade the little emperor to have a correct attitude and learn to be a good emperor.

If you want to resist, you must make your claws sharp, and when you can't beat others, you can't easily show your claws to provoke.

The emperor still listened to her words, and no longer naively used some trivial things to block the regent, but planned a way to win with one blow.

The regent is still very pleased with his progress, but this imperial concubine still arouses his jealousy, this woman, on the surface, is for the good of the emperor, but it has exacerbated the contradiction between the emperor and himself, I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional.

The result of the negotiation between the two countries was also sent back by urgent letter, this kind of major event, although the eldest princess wants the emperor to take power personally, but she also knows that the young emperor and her current strength cannot make a decision based on her own choice, so even if she is unwilling, she still has to discuss with the regent.

In addition to the letter of the eldest princess, the people who were arranged in Chujing also came to the news, and the people and things that the eldest princess came into contact with in Chujing were passed on to the regent.

The regent couldn't help but think, if Yun Mei was a man and inherited the throne of Qin State, he wouldn't have to worry about Chu State, but Yun Ze was not this piece of material, the troubled times were coming, Yun Ze couldn't hold it alone, if his sister and brother had been as close as they are now, and they had been listening to Yun Mei's words, they wouldn't have to worry.

But people's hearts will change, not to mention Yun Ze's position, it is destined to be impossible, even if it is the sister of a mother's sibling, one day, she will be suspicious.

Now that he is still there, the two of them are still the same enemy, and when he returns to them one day, his sister and brother will no longer have the relationship they have now.

The henchman of the regent, who knew what the prince was worried about, as the helmsman of a country, he had to think not only about the present of the Qin State, but also about the future, not to mention, the prince was better to the eldest princess and the young emperor than the prince, how could he not think about them.

The henchman endured for a long time and finally spoke, "Lord Wang, if you are so uneasy, your subordinates know that you can't do anything to abolish the emperor and stand on your own, and your subordinates will not persuade you to do this, although Your Majesty's ability is insufficient, but the eldest princess is talented, why don't you support the eldest princess as the empress." ”

The regent frowned, "This is impossible, as long as Yun Ze is in one day, she will not do such a thing to hurt her brother." ”

"The eldest princess will always understand that this is good for her and for Your Majesty. ”

"Even if there is no Yun Ze, although the royal brother has a thin lineage, but among the royal family, the people are still thriving, as long as Yun Ze is abolished, these people's minds will inevitably be activated, and they will not let Yun Mei easily sit on the throne, and the Qin State will inevitably be in chaos again. ”

The henchman also knew the difficulty of this matter, if it could be done, the emperor would have already set up the eldest princess as the prince, but it was not polite, and it would also leave a gap for people with bad intentions, so the emperor still set up the young emperor as the prince.

With a woman as the emperor, for hundreds of years, there has only been one case, and that is also due to the favorable time, place and people, Yunmei has not yet reached this point.

Presumably Yun Mei didn't think about this either.

Emperor Qi was not ignorant of the matter of Qi seeking business, and he also understood that this was a provocation to the Shang State, but he did not stop it.

Taibao sent his own son to express his determination to want Qi to become self-reliant.

If you don't take the opportunity to find another way, one day, the Qi Kingdom will become the bag of the Shang State.

This kind of thing, no matter how secret it is, there will be clues, not to mention that Qi has been under the control of Shang Guo all these years, and there are people in the DPRK and China who are completely obedient to Shang Guo, and Shang Guo still got the news about this matter.

When Lian Jin received the news that Qi Guo had two hearts, he just sneered and sent a letter to condemn him, wanting to seek development by opening up trade routes.

Without decades, there will be no big results, but in the past ten years, I am afraid there will be no results.

Qi is regarded as a continuous treasury of the Shang State, and it has become a habit for several generations, not to mention the Shang State, even he Qi State, which is difficult to change for a while.

The state of Chu is willing to believe that it is the condition of the fine work sent by the Shang family, that is, the Shang state cuts off all the back roads of the fine work, and then compensates the state of Chu for all the losses.

In the final analysis, it is still the Shang State that has turned, and all the benefits that can be seen by the naked eye can be grabbed and destroyed, and those that cannot be seen by the naked eye are often the most important, and the invisible losses of the Chu State are difficult to save.

It's just that he knows all the forces he has in the Chu State, and by the way, he has a look at the distribution of forces in various places and integrates the strength, which is indeed the most important thing in the Chu State now.

Just like the deadly ill of the Shang Kingdom in addition to the deadly malaise of family chaos, it is the most important.

Lian Jin said secretly, "Xie Ling, you really gave Prince Ben a condition that he couldn't refuse." ”

It's just that he still forgot that the Xie family is unwilling to suffer.

All the infiltration of the Lian Jin Dynasty, as well as the collection of information, mostly revolved around the Shang and Jin armies entering the Chu State.

And Xie Ling, including the two emperors Yan and Tai Shen, has never said that they will not take the initiative to attack, and the state of Chu will definitely not become a battlefield.
