Thirty days ago, the holy study room of King Ning's palace.

King Ning looked at the several classics in front of him, suppressed his desire to read them, and looked at Yunchen deeply: "These are the so-called "National Policies"? ”

Yunchen stood solemnly in the center of the study, with a calm expression: "Not only the "National Policy", but also a few admonitions about unification. ”

King Ning's face turned cold: "Yunchen, don't think that if you offer the National Policy, Lone will not be held accountable for the crime of shielding the Dusk Clan's escape!" ”

"The king really wronged me, I don't know anything about Wei Nong's escape, if you really want to investigate, you should also investigate the son, what does it have to do with me?" Yunchen was not afraid, and even "Weichen" no longer called himself, but changed to "me".

Since the fall of Youzhou Mansion, Yunchen has disappeared inexplicably for several months, and when he comes back, he has no respect for King Ning, and seems to be ready to tear his face. Therefore, King Ning no longer cared about anything, and directly put him under house arrest in Lanyue Tower. Unexpectedly, he deliberately diverted his attention under the pretext of negotiating reunification, causing the Twilight clan to take the opportunity to escape, and causing Yuan Che to be injured as a result. Although he was willing to present the "National Policy", it was still difficult to eliminate the hatred in King Ning's heart.

"Yunchen, Lone warns you, Yuan Che is the son of my Ning Kingdom, if you play with him in applause, Lone will never spare you!" King Ning angrily slapped the case.

Yunchen pursed his lips and chuckled, but did not respond.

Seeing this, King Ning was even more angry: "Do you think you are still the former Chu royal family?" Or do you really think of yourself as a 'departer'? Now that you have lost the hearts of the people in Chudi, do you think Lone will not dare to kill you? ”

"The king wants to kill me, just one word. But you shouldn't kill me, and you shouldn't have listened to me. Yunchen was still not afraid.

King Ning sneered and pointed to the "National Policy" on the table: "The book is in hand, what use do you have?" It's easy to kill you. ”

"Books are dead, people are alive, and the "National Policy" is a thing of the previous dynasty, if no one interprets it, you will not understand it and will not play a role." Yunchen pointed at himself: "You must know that I not only have a national policy in my mind, but also something more valuable than a national policy that can help you accomplish your great cause." ”

"Just by virtue of your so-called unified advice?" King Ning sneered again, his expression disdainful.

Yunchen also smiled: "Admonition is secondary, I can let you turn the tide of the battle and recover Youzhou." ”

Hearing this, King Ning's eyes flashed coldly, and his eyes immediately narrowed: "Nie Xingji is dead, the Yan army is scattered, and Gu has won without a fight." ”

"Then you underestimate Ming Chenyuan too much, and you also underestimate Nie Zhiying, the eldest princess of Yan Country." Yunchen is at the end of the day.

Sure enough, King Ning's eyebrows furrowed: "There are many generals in the Lonely Dynasty who are good at leading troops, you don't have to be alarmist!" Can't they beat Ming Chenyuan, you can beat it? ”

"When it comes to leading troops to fight, I don't have experience, and I really can't fight. But I can outwit you, so that you can recover Youzhou without a single soldier, and even turn the tide of things. At this point, I guess none of the generals in your court are above me. Yunchen's figure is tall, which shows that he is calm and confident.

"Huh! What a big mouth! Even though King Ning didn't want to admit it, it couldn't be denied that Yunchen was indeed resourceful, and when he saw that the other party was so sure of what he said, he couldn't help asking, "Say, what 'wisdom' do you have?" ”

Yunchen looked at King Ning's dragon case, and instead sold Guanzi: "Please take a look at the unification strategy I offer first, and then discuss." ”

King Ning had already seen the paper sandwiched between several copies of "National Policy", and secretly slandered Yunchen that he didn't even need to fold it now, and took a few pieces of paper at random to perfunctory himself. He couldn't help but slap the table: "At the beginning, when you came to look for Lone, it was all a thick stack of opinions, but most of them were useless words. Don't you admit that you were deliberately delaying time and diverting Lone's attention in order to help the Twilight escape? ”

"Is it interesting for the king to pursue it now? If I were you, look ahead. Yunchen was noncommittal about this, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.

King Ning was very annoyed, and his killing intent suddenly rose, but he hesitated a little because of Yunchen's confident words, and couldn't help but pick up a few pieces of paper in the "National Policy" and look down. After only a few glances, he realized that Yunchen had said the point.

Now that Kyushu is tired, not to mention Yan Guo, even he himself is working hard for this campaign. The previous unsuccessful negotiation with Weinong was also stuck on the most important point - where are the royal families going? And Yunchen's papers just mention this problem.

"Since we want to be unified, we should unify to the end, the demise of the previous dynasty is a lesson from the past, and we must not set up several princes and bury hidden dangers." Yunchen finally said: "My suggestion is that the Yan and Jiang royal families enjoy Tang Muyi, not the fiefdom, retain the royal title, give them glory and wealth, do not give real power, and build a mansion in the capital of the new dynasty to live for a long time." ”

King Ning looked at the pieces of paper carefully, listened to Yunchen's explanation, and shook his head to veto: "You are too naïve, which king is unwilling to hold real power?" Do you think that by giving some gold and silver treasures and keeping a royal name, they will be able to promise reunification? ”

"It is also possible to give some power, but to decentralize." Yunchen meant something.

"How to disperse?" King Ning finally became interested.

"For example, Jiang Country is rich in herbal medicines, everyone is good at Gu, and the Jiang royal family can be in charge of the medicine of the New Dynasty; In recent years, the imperial examination of the Yan Kingdom has been perfected, and the Yan royal family can be in charge of selecting talents and setting up schools. In short, it is necessary to make the people of Yan and Jiang feel that the royal family has the power and the people have a place to play. Yunchen deliberately paused here, and changed his words: "Of course, this is just a preliminary idea, in charge of medicine, will it be secretly manipulated in the Imperial Medical Department?" Will the imperial examination control the courtiers? These are all debatable. ”

Hearing this, King Ning finally realized the beauty of what Yunchen said: managing medicine and imperial examinations sounds like real power, but in fact, it is still too far behind military power, taxation, etc., and he can come up with a few painless and seemingly important decentralizations, even if these royal families make some oil and water. To put it bluntly, if you want to be stable once, as long as the military power is in hand, it is fundamental, and the art of controlling people must share some sweetness with others, especially several royal families.

But...... King Ning sighed in his heart, although these ideas were good, they were useless now. If the matter of peace talks cannot be settled, how can we talk about reunification?

"With the current situation, Ning Guo can't be the master of Yan and Jiang at all." King Ning spoke to Yunchen: "You are just talking on paper. ”

"It's naturally on paper now," Yunchen smiled on his lips, "but in the near future, it's uncertain." ”

King Ning couldn't help but listen: "What do you mean?" ”

"It's still what I just mentioned, I can help you recover Youzhou, and even turn things around." Yunchen then returned to the original topic.

King Ning expressed doubts: "Why should I believe you? You yourself are seeking to restore your country. ”

Yunchen was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "The general trend is like this, there is no hope for the Chu royal family to recover the country, I have sacrificed too many relatives, friends and subordinates for this, and I don't want to kill any more." ”

"Really?" King Ning still didn't want to believe it: "Even so, why do you want to help me for no reason? ”

"If I don't help you, do I want to help Yan Guo?" Yunchen sneered: "After all, I am a layman, even if I give up the restoration of the country, there is no reason to help destroy the enemies of my family and country." And I'm not here to help you for nothing, and when it's done, I'll ask for what I deserve. ”

King Ning thought for a moment, lowered his eyes and looked at Yunchen's advice again, and found that he had indeed only arranged the way out for the Yan and Jiang royal families, and did not mention the Chu royal family at all. King Ning couldn't help but be vigilant: "What do you want?" If you take this opportunity to open your mouth, Lone will never answer you. ”

"Don't worry, the Chu royal family will not enter the new dynasty as officials." Yunchen's expression remained unchanged.

"And what do you want?" King Ning was puzzled, he didn't believe that Yunchen would give up his power at all.

However, Yunchen sold another pass: "Before I speak, you might as well listen to my plan to recover Youzhou before making a decision." ”

It is undeniable that seeing the extraordinary confidence and indifferent temperament between Yunchen's words, King Ning struggled very much. He loves talents, and he also knows that Yunchen's talents are hard to find in the world; But he was even more jealous, afraid that Yunchen would have a back-up move, and his children and grandchildren would not be able to fight at all.

Thinking of this, King Ning closed his eyes to hide his killing intent, and he decided to listen to Yunchen's plan first: "You can say it." ”

"Four words, please enter the urn." Yunchen stretched out his palm and gestured for a moment, before he said: "It is said that Chenyuan has already led 100,000 reinforcements to set off from Yan State, and you also plan to start a war against Yan Country again, while the Yan army does not have a backbone now, I suggest that you send troops as soon as possible." ”

"Oh, that's a light point." King Ning thought that Yunchen had some new ideas, but he didn't want what he said to be the same as what he thought, so he was also quite disappointed in him.

Yunchen looked at King Ning's expression in his eyes, and said unhurriedly: "The Yan army stationed in Youzhou is Nie Xingji's cronies, and now Nie Xingji is dead, Mingchen is far from sitting in the army, and the other generals are not convinced by each other, it is when the dragons are leaderless." You can use the spies in Youzhou Mansion to release rumors, provoke several generals to seize power from each other, and disrupt the pace of the Yan army, this is a battle of hearts and minds. ”

When Yunchen said this, he didn't smile anymore, and said solemnly: "However, this is only one of them, and there is also the other. ”

These words are worth hearing, King Ning made a deaf appearance, and stretched out his hand to Yunchen to ask: "I want to hear the details." ”

Yunchen said with a smile: "Before Mingchen arrives in Youzhou, you must gather your forces to fight quickly, recover Youzhou Mansion, and then move all the people out, because Mingchen Yuan will definitely be unwilling to lead reinforcements to attack Youzhou Mansion for the second time." ”

He spread out his palms as he spoke, and then slowly tightened them: "At this point, you can 'catch turtles in the urn'." ”

"How to catch?" King Ning couldn't help but ask.

Yunchen lowered his eyes, and his voice was emotionless: "I know that there is a hidden passage in Youzhou Mansion that can lead to four directions outside the city. When Ming Chenyuan leads his army into Youzhou Mansion, you can form an encirclement and cut off the water source, so that the food and grass in the city will be cut off. ”
