"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, I have already thought carefully on the way here, in fact, the method is very simple, we just need to add a little more material to the existing rumors!"

Xie Ziyuan's eyes were full of revenge, and he said with a cruel smile.

Tian Jian seemed to be lacking in interest, and said expressionlessly: "What material?" ”

"As long as we also send people out and spread such rumors--" Xie Ziyuan laughed in a loud voice: "As long as the people of the whole country are privately discussed--if Qi Yu becomes the prime minister of our Qi country, the people of Qi country can live a better life, and Qi country will become stronger!" That's it! ”

"What?" Tian Jian was taken aback, and unconsciously dilated his pupils, "Do you want to provoke the relationship between Qi Yu and Tian Xiang and borrow Tian Xiang's hand to deal with Qi Yu?" ”

Xie Ziyuan looked at Tian Jian a little nervously, and tried his best to persuade him: "In this way, no one would think that we did it, not to mention that in the Qi country, only Tian Xiang can have the ability to deal with the Qi family!" ”

Tian Jian was silent for a moment, shook his head and sighed: "Although Qi Yu is a member of the Qi family, he is now just a subordinate student with no official position and no power......

Tian Jian closed his eyes, as if he was thinking and struggling, and after a long time, he spoke: "Ziyuan, I don't know what kind of contradiction there is between you and Qi Yu, but Qi Yu is the talent of my Qi country, and when Tian Xiang gets old, maybe Qi Guo still needs to rely on him to support, you want to destroy him with this means, I'm sorry...... I can't agree more! Tian Jian's eyes opened, and there was a trace of regret in his eyes when he looked at Xie Ziyuan, "What you said today, I will treat it as if I haven't heard it, you can go!" ”

"No, Your Highness, what you think is too simple......" Xie Ziyuan lowered his head, and a sneer overflowed from the corner of his mouth, "Ziyuan and Qi Yu are in a dilemma, not because of personal grudges, but for our great Qi!" It's also for His Highness and the King! Your Highness, you live deep in the palace, but you don't know what the Qi family has done over the years......"

Tian Jian frowned, and looked at Xie Ziyuan with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes: "Ziyuan, I haven't known you for a day, you have no secrets in front of me!" I can forgive you for not being in a good state today, but that doesn't mean you can deceive me! I'm tired now, I don't want to hear you continue to smear the Qi family, you step down! ”

"Your Highness!" Xie Ziyuan raised his head suddenly, with deep hatred for Lu Yunzhou, put aside the last trace of panic in his heart, looked directly at Tian Jian, and said loudly: "Ziyuan is here for me today, and he will speak up in front of His Highness, although he has no regrets!" His Royal Highness knew that when there was a hunger last year, the displaced people from all over the country fled in all directions, and a large number of refugees had poured into Linzi City, and Tian Yuan had ordered the city defense army to keep the refugees out of the city in order to prevent the refugees from disturbing the security in the city, but did His Highness know what the Qi family had done at this time? They opened the granary in the clan and gave all the alms to the homeless people outside the city, so that those homeless people lasted until the time when the grain of the Lu country was delivered! Therefore, those refugees were grateful to the Qi family, worshiped them as gods, and praised the good name of the Qi family everywhere...... Your Highness! Over the years, the Qi family has given some small favors to the people from time to time, do you know who they are emulating? The Qi family is following the example of His Royal Highness's ancestor - the Tian family of the former Qi Kingdom! ”

"Presumptuous! Do you know what you're talking about? Shut up! Tian Jian stood up from his seat suddenly, and stretched out his hand to point at Xie Ziyuan in disbelief, his fingertips trembling slightly, "You dare to talk about the rights and wrongs of the ancestors of the royal family behind your back!" Do you know that with what you said today, if it spreads and reaches the ears of your father and Tian Xiang, it will be enough for your Xie clan to be wiped out! ”

The monarch of Qi was originally not the current concubine surnamed Tian, but the descendant of Jiang Taigong, the Jiang family surnamed Lu. Tian's ancestor Chen Wan, who was originally the son of Chen Li's concubine Yue Yue and the exiled son of Chen State, fled to Qi State due to political turmoil, and was taken in by Qi Huangong, the head of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons at that time, and was awarded the post of Gongzheng in charge of 100 workers. Since then, Chen Wan's descendants have taken root in Qi and changed their surname to Tian, so Chen Wan is also called Tian Wan, and he is the ancestor of the Tian clan of Qi Guofei.

Since the end of the presentation, Tian has continued to benefit the people and win the hearts of the people. The grain lent by the Tian clan to the people was lent by a big bucket, but recovered with a small bucket; The sons and grandsons of the Lu clan who did not get the title of Yulu were sent charcoal in the snow, and they made friends! Therefore, the Tian family gradually won the support of the Lu clan and the people of Qi, and the hearts of the people of the whole country turned to the Tian family and returned to it like flowing water, making the strength of the Tian family stronger and stronger. Since Chen Wan, the Tian clan has already controlled the state politics of Qi when it reached the fifth generation; In the eighth generation, an epoch-making historical drama of "Tian's generation of Qi" was staged! Since then, the Tian clan has expelled the descendants of Jiang Taigong and become the new royal family of the Qi State!

The event of "Tian's Dynasty Qi", together with the equally epoch-making event of "Three Families Dividing Jin", has become the historical dividing line between the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in later generations, dividing the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period into two stages.

And it is precisely because the Tian clan is usurped to the throne of Qi, so the past of their own clan is secretive, and the kings of Qi in all dynasties have strictly ordered the people in the country not to discuss this matter, and those who discuss it privately will be punished by stealing their families and exterminating their clans!

In the face of Tian Jian's thunderous rage, Xie Ziyuan only felt his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys at the moment--the whole body was trembling with fear, but--

"Success or failure is only one thing!"

Xie Ziyuan suddenly suppressed the deep panic in his heart, looked directly at Tian Jian with a firm gaze, and said loudly: "Your Highness! Yan Ying once prophesied: 'Qi Zheng will return to the Tian clan. Tian has no ...... With public power and private interests, there is virtue in the people, and the people love it. And Ziyuan Bucai also made the same prophecy here today: the Qi family is good at giving small graces and virtues to the people, and wants to coerce the people to spy on the big position, and the people don't know that their hearts are sinister, and they all love it, praise it, and support it! If the Qi family is not destroyed one day, the Tian family is in danger! Qi Zheng's pawn belongs to the Qi family! ”

"You!" Tian Jian pointed at Xie Ziyuan, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a while, after a long time, Tian Jian put down his hand, sat down dejectedly, and looked at his former friend's gaze, no longer with inquiry, but with deep exhaustion, as if he had lost his spirit.

"Hehe......" Tian Jian laughed sarcastically and said, "Yan Ying's words, why did you hide them and not mention them?" Isn't the original saying: 'Although the Tian family has no great virtue, he uses public power and private power to be virtuous to the people, and the people love him'? ”

Xie Ziyuan humbly lowered his head, bowed down and said: "The family surnamed Tian replaced the immoral Jiang surnamed Lu family, and it was ordered by heaven!" Adhering to the mandate of heaven, conforming to the hearts of the people, and Zhou Tianzi personally sealed, there is no doubt that the family surnamed Tian should have great virtue in the world! Yan Ying is ignorant and vain, Ziyuan doesn't dare to repeat it! ”

Tian Jian was dumbfounded, and there was a touch of absurdity in his gaze at Xie Ziyuan: "Now even Yanzi is already an ignorant person in your eyes, and I guess you don't take the words of the second prince to heart...... Ziyuan, I retract the previous sentence, and now I can't see through you......"

"Your Highness!" In Xie Ziyuan's eyes, there was finally a trace of true feelings: "Your Highness's closeness and love for Ziyuan, how can Ziyuan not know, but Ziyuan's words are really for the Qi country and His Royal Highness the Second Prince!" Your Highness, you think, if Tian is suspicious of the Qi family and takes action against the Qi family, then the Qi family will definitely rise up and resist! The Qi family is backed by the Donglai people, and has the military power of 100,000 troops in southern Xinjiang, with the strength of the Qi family, Tian Xiang will fight with it, and both will inevitably lose, such a result is also what the king who has been suppressed by Tian Xiang and has no authority is looking forward to in his heart! And Tian Xiang has always been a supporter of His Royal Highness the Prince, as the saying goes, one glory and one loss, once Tian Xiang's strength is damaged, the prince will inevitably be implicated! The king has always loved His Royal Highness more in his heart, rather than the incompetent prince, and at that time, the prestige of Tian Xiang is declining, and the position of this prince is naturally in His Highness's bag! ”

Tian Jian was stunned for a moment, no longer spoken, and after a long time, he sighed, took out a token from his arms, threw it to Xie Ziyuan, and said, "That's it, what you want to do, just do it!" Just remember not to leave any handles behind! ”

Xie Ziyuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the token, was overjoyed in his heart, bowed deeply, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, please rest assured, Ziyuan will definitely live up to His Highness's high expectations!" Ziyuan retires! ”

Tian Jian said softly: "Go!" ”

Outside the hall, the wind and rain were bleak, and the night was miserable, but Xie Ziyuan didn't care about the big raindrops of beans that hit his head and face, turned around and walked out of the hall, and plunged into the rain curtain with an excited face, and soon blurred his figure......

"Sister Rou must be mine! Qi Yu, the day you become a lost dog, I will see you flee in embarrassment! ”

Seeing that Xie Zi Yuanzhi was complacent, he hurriedly left his back, and soon melted into the deep night outside the main hall, and disappeared, Tian Jian's face showed a lonely color, and he sighed deeply.

"If it's successful...... Naturally, it's very good! It's just that...... If it fails, I am afraid that the Qi country will fall into civil strife from now on...... Will I become a sinner in the Qi Kingdom? But...... Ziyuan, do you know that there is no shortage of strategists around me, only ...... Just treat my friends with sincerity......"

People's hearts, if they change, will they still turn around?

…

…

Clarion Palace.

The candle flame burned and jumped with a "sneer", the light and shadow were uncertain, and Lu Yunzhou suddenly woke up--

“…… What's going on? I actually fell asleep...... Are you too tired today? ”

Lu Yunzhou thought back to the conversation of the black-clothed assassin he had just heard, and then remembered that after their conversation ended, he listened to the movement for a while, wondering if someone would turn back and say something else, and then fall asleep unconsciously in the process......

Lu Yunzhou sat up, found that a white silk cloak on his body was slipping off, turned his head to look, and saw Ouyang Xinyue looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Qi Gongzi, did you sleep well?"
