After listening to Wu Changkong's question, the old man did not answer, but asked softly:

"What does Your Majesty think?"

Wu Changkong thought for a while before replying:

"I don't agree, but I want to take advantage of the victory to pursue them, and after defeating them directly, I will consider handling relations with the four countries."

But the old man looked worried and said:

"Your Majesty does not agree to stop the civil war, it gives her a good reason to call on other forces, foreign enemies invade, Your Majesty does not want to protect the family and defend the country, but still insists on continuing the civil war, it will lose the hearts of the people, this is Mu Qianmei's power, as long as she makes a move, how the opponent responds will be passive."

Wu Changkong looked at Mu Qianmei's two books on the desk, one was "Youlan Collection" and the other was "Qianmei Qianyu", and then said leisurely:

"You say she can't write poetry and essays well, why should she get involved in such a fight?"

There was loss and regret in the tone, and at the same time, there was a bit of hidden ruthlessness.

The old man couldn't hear the thoughts in his words, so he shook his head and said:

"The assassination of Wu Changhao is a fluke, and this matter has also brought a great negative impact on Your Majesty, if the same way is used again, the success rate is very low, and the second will increase the people's disgust with Your Majesty, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world, and now because of Your Majesty's identity, there are still many people who have come to defect, at this time, we must not lose the hearts of the people again."

Wu Changkong did have the intention of assassinating Mu Qianmei, but the old man's words made him suddenly calm down, and he said with a slightly depressed voice:

"We can't kill, we can't fight, do we really have to accept her request? It feels like you're at the mercy of others. ”

After pondering for a long time, the old man replied in a low voice:

"It is impossible to unite, with our current strength, fighting with the Four-Nation Alliance is just hitting a stone with an egg, but we can choose to agree to stop the civil war and let her fight with the Four-Nation Alliance, just so that we can take this opportunity to recuperate, develop our own forces, digest and rectify the people who have taken refuge in us, and wait for a better time to annihilate them in one fell swoop."

"Mu Qianmei's current strength is weaker than ours, how can she be able to fight the Four-Nation Alliance, we are developing, but she is consuming, one is long, one is the other, when they are the weakest, we will give her another fatal blow, maybe then is our best chance."

Wu Changkong said suspiciously:

"Isn't it impossible to fight? Wouldn't destroying her power at that time also lose the hearts of the people? ”

The old man nodded and said:

"We can't participate in the war openly, but we can secretly help other forces, let her die in the battle with the Four Nations Alliance, and then give this credit to the Four Nations Alliance, not only do we not want this credit, but also play a clear banner to avenge Mu Qianmei, win over all the remnants of the Xiyu Country, and unite to crusade against the Four Nations Alliance."

"This time, we need to be tighter, we can't show a flaw, we can't make the same mistake twice."

After Wu Changkong was silent for a moment, he changed the subject and said:

"So do we continue to seize the city now, or do we halt the pace of expansion for a while?"

The old man replied leisurely:

"With our current strength, seizing the city will not do much good, but will disperse our army, so we will occupy the city close to our side first, and then set up a tight defense line, waiting for Mu Qianmei's visiting group to come!"

The two continued to discuss the details of the matter in the imperial study until late at night.

In Yong'an City, in addition to Wu Changkong's deep surprise that Mu Qianmei was canonized as the Heavenly King, many people were also extremely surprised by this, including Su Wanru, the Peach Blossom Fairy.

It was already the dead of night, and in the headquarters of the Scorching Sun Sect and the sect master's dormitory, only Su Wanru and Shen Yao were still talking about Mu Qianmei in a whisper.

The delicate and beautiful face of the Peach Blossom Fairy, with a faint sadness, she frowned slightly and said:

"Why is this Mu Qianmei always so ghostly?"

Shen Yao said calmly:

"After she participated in the competition of the Outer Heaven Lingyun List and won the individual championship, her reputation is now at its peak, and the Xiyu Kingdom just needs a savior, so it is logical that she has become the king of heaven, and everyone expects her to continue to create miracles!"

The Peach Blossom Fairy looked at the "Youlan Collection" and "A Thousand Charming Words" on her desk, and said with a little curiosity:

Why are these two books so popular? In my opinion, the level of poetry is not bad, and it is just that it is respected, and many of the thousands of words she has said are very ordinary! ”

Shen Yao's eyes also looked at the two books, and after a little silence, he replied:

"She is famous, no matter how ordinary the words are, it is not ordinary for her to say them, not to mention that some of the words in it are really reasonable, and people worship her, so they will be full of respect for what she has said, maybe some of them she just says casually, and people can read deep meanings from them."

The Peach Blossom Fairy changed the subject:

"I heard that the current Tingxue Building has developed very rapidly, if in terms of numbers, they have become the largest gang in the outer world."

Shen Yao also replied as if chatting:

"The current Tingxue Lou, like the Burning Sun Sect of the fairy, is no longer a simple Jianghu sect, and has been involved in the struggle of the country, and its nature has changed, with her current appeal, it is too easy for Tingxue Lou to develop and grow."

"Countless people want to enter Tingxue Tower or Tingxue Academy, and then use this as a springboard to enter the imperial court.

The Peach Blossom Fairy sighed deeply and said:

"Alas, she has finally reached a higher position, and now she is almost equal to the emperor, but I am just a chess piece in the hands of the emperor."

The tone sounded unpleasant, not as high-spirited as before.

The people she used to be able to look down on can now only look up, and the huge gap makes her not even have the courage to continue fighting.

Today's Burning Sun Sect looks like a joke.

Her Peach Blossom Fairy is just a nominal sect master, and she has no right to decide all the major decisions in the sect, and her existence seems to be just a vase, just a beautiful ornament.

And the Tingxue Building founded by Mu Qianmei is completely controlled by her, and she even controls half of the Xiyu Country, such a gap is one in the sky and one underground.

The difference between the abyss.

Shen Yao didn't speak, she didn't know how to answer this, she had expected today's situation, but she couldn't stop the Peach Blossom Fairy's choice.

After a long time, the Peach Blossom Fairy said faintly:

"We started wrong, I should have followed Aunt Shen's advice at the beginning, and it was better to choose to go back to the family and develop alone!"

Shen Yao said cautiously:

"The old slave can see that the fairy wants to enter the palace very much, with the fairy's talent and current situation, entering the palace may be a good choice."

The Peach Blossom Fairy smiled bitterly:

"The emperor has barely looked at me squarely, in his eyes, he has his own country."

Shen Yao said softly:

"Since ancient times, the hero has been sad about the beauty pass, he just doesn't think about this aspect at the moment, so he doesn't pay attention to the beauty of the fairy, if the fairy takes the initiative, maybe he will have the opportunity to become the emperor, that is, the fairy has become a person above ten thousand people under one person, who dares to underestimate the fairy?"

The Peach Blossom Fairy couldn't help but light up her eyes, she was quite tempted, if she could become the emperor, her status would be the same as that of Mu Qianmei now.

However, after a moment of silence, she looked at Aunt Shen and said:

"I remember that Aunt Shen once said that once you enter the harem, it is as deep as the sea, and you never suggested that I enter the palace before!"

Shen Yao replied with a wry smile:

"At this time, at that time, the fairy at that time had not yet entered this circle, and the old slave naturally hoped that the fairy could live a free and happy life, so it was not recommended that the fairy enter the palace."

"But now that the fairy is already in it, and it is impossible to get out of this circle again, then, for the current fairy, this is the best choice."

After thinking quietly for a long time, the Peach Blossom Fairy said with some difficulty:

"I'm the head of a sect now, if I choose to enter the palace, wouldn't I have to give up everything that the fairy has?"

Shen Yao replied in a low voice:

"This sect master is just a false name, what is there to be reluctant to give up? To tell the truth, if you become the emperor of a country, what is a sect! ”

The Peach Blossom Fairy was still very entangled, and muttered to herself:

"I can feel that the emperor looks at me with not only dislike, but even a little disgust, how can he be willing to make me the queen?"

Shen Yao patiently explained:

"The reason why the emperor dislikes the fairy is because the fairy didn't like the motive of coming to the palace at the beginning, and the first impression was not good, and after the fairy became the sect master, he always wanted to compete with Mu Qianmei, and he didn't like it even more, because he didn't like it, so he didn't look at the fairy squarely."

"If the fairy takes the initiative to give up everything he has, and then takes the initiative to ask to be transferred back to the imperial garden, to raise flowers and grass for the emperor, to be a gentle and virtuous little woman, without desire, when he encounters troubles, he will definitely go to the imperial garden to relax, and the fairy will often accompany and explain, after a long time, he can change the image of the fairy in his mind."

The Peach Blossom Fairy said suspiciously:

"Is this really possible?"

Shen Yao thought about it for a while, and then said cautiously:

"No one can guarantee success in this kind of thing, but if you don't try it, it's hopeless, it's an opportunity, success is naturally good, and if you don't succeed, it won't be worse than the current situation, the fairy is now in the Scorching Sun Sect, and the position of the sect master is nothing, and there is no loss if you resign."

"When you arrive at the Imperial Garden, raising flowers and planting grass is what fairies are good at, gentle and virtuous, and a woman who has no desires and desires is the type that the emperor likes, and the probability of success is at least fifty percent."

Listening to Shen Yao's words, the Peach Blossom Fairy was thoughtful.
