At the beginning of the morning the next day, Wen Yeting had already packed up and was ready to go to Zhangping Palace.

"Your Majesty, the third prince is here." An internal official reported to Wen Xianyu.

Wen Xian was leaning on the couch, holding a book and reading, raised his head and said, "Oh? He hasn't been seen for months, and he is finally willing to come and say goodbye to me. Announce it. ”

"Seeing my father, my son has been restless recently, so he has never entered the palace, I hope my father will forgive me." Wen Yeting knelt down and bowed.

Wen Xian put the book down, straightened up and beckoned, "Okay, get up and sit down." Don't think I'm confused when I'm old, although I can't control your every move, but I still know if you're in Wanzhong City. Tell me, where have you been in the past few months? ”

Wen Yeting got up and sat down, and replied solemnly: "Erchen has gone to Shuzhou." ”

Wen Xian was shocked when he heard this, and asked in a cheering voice: "Why did you go to Shuzhou in a good way?" ”

He caught a glimpse of Wen Xian's face turning red, and hurriedly replied: "Father, the emperor is angry, I went to Shuzhou because I had evidence about the tragic death of my mother, so I went to Shuzhou to investigate." ”

"It's your mother again! She's been dead for ten years, and you've been depressed for ten years, Wen Yeting, let her go and let yourself go! ”

Wen Xian said angrily, stretched out his hand and smashed the cup, and the fragments scattered around Wen Yeting.

"I beg my father to listen to me, and it will not be too late for you to punish you, and I will never complain." Wen Yeting begged loudly.

Wen Xian stood up, pointed at Wen Yeting, and said sharply: "Okay, you say, I want to see what you can gain." ”

"I went to Jinyun City this time and found that this Wang Miao is full of five poisons. One is that he oppressed the people, fished and fleshed the village, unscrupulous means to achieve his goals, and could even slaughter the entire ethnic group; the second is that he is ruthless, excludes dissidents, his shadow guards are inhumane, and women, children, old and young are also killed; the third is that he is consumed by interests, gathers people to grab gold, and sells broken intestine grass to the outside world, causing innocent people to be deeply poisoned; Fourth, he steals the world and deceives his reputation, is sanctimonious, has no trust and sincerity in anyone, and is deceitful; Fifth, he is two-faced and three-stabbed, yang and yin, fanning the flames between the two capitals of Henan and Qin, sowing discord between right and wrong, for fear of war. ”

Wen Yeting wanted to continue, but Wen Xian interrupted him and asked, "Wait a minute, even if this Wang Miao is out of books, what does it have to do with you?" What does it have to do with me? ”

"Father, I don't know if you have any agreement with Wang Miao, but Wang Miao should not be gullible. I have seen with my own eyes how he acted perversely, and besides, Shuzhou has been torn between the two capitals for a long time, how can you know that his heart is for you and not for Qindu? ”

Wen Xian was moved, and hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" Could this Wang Miao dare to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger behind his back, and defeat me? ”

Wen Yeting saw that Wen Xian was suspicious, and hurriedly said, "He didn't dare!" You also know that this Qin capital and Shuzhou have been friends for a hundred years, and they have been friends of Jinlan since their ancestors, and if Wang Miao is fully assisted by Qin Capital, it is also reasonable. ”

Wen Xian pondered for a while and shouted, "Impossible! Nearly a hundred years ago, his Wang clan had personally promised Yudu that they would use the power of Shuzhou to help Yudu realize the unification of the world. Your great-grandfather saw that Qin was arrogant and swore to defend Shuzhou, and the soldiers of Yu fought hard again and again due to territorial expansion, and the veteran soldiers of the division were broken, so they agreed to withdraw from Shuzhou. said that in the future, Shuzhou would secretly deal with the Qin capital, and the Yu capital would recuperate, enhance the national strength, and annihilate the Qin capital in one fell swoop when the time was right. ”

Wen Yeting thought to himself that this was the case, and then said: "But nearly a hundred years have passed, has Shuzhou made any achievements?" The Qin capital is still financially strong, and the soldiers are strong. For Yudu, it seems that whether there is Shuzhou or not is not so important, but it is hindered by Shuzhou. ”

Wen Xian sighed: "It's not all. This Shuzhou is indeed a great gift to Yudu, how can your grandfather be weak and unable to manage this unified hegemony, so he passed this long-cherished wish to me, and I started this matter. Over the years, with the trade of Jinyun City, Yudu has indeed achieved twice the result with half the effort, making money every day, and filling the treasury. It's just that what I didn't expect was that this Qin capital was not far behind, and the development of commerce and trade was in full swing. ”

After hearing this, Wen Yeting knew that this broken intestine grass was indeed provided by Shuzhou, and the capital of Henan was then transported to the capital of Qin through Jinyun City, and it seemed that this ill-gotten wealth was really used by the capital of Yu.

Then he reminded again: "Father, do you know that Qin Du has recently gone to Jinyun City to investigate the matter of Broken Intestine Grass?" ”

"What? This Wang Miao didn't tell the truth! I'll just say why there has been no news of the caravan sent out recently. Wen Xian was dumbfounded.

Wen Yeting saw that he was already angry, and took the opportunity to say: "Let's just say that in the past few days, I found that Wang Miao sent someone to Yudu, and I felt that it was probably Wang Miao's expedient measure, so I followed that person back to Yudu." Did you receive anything from Wang Miao? ”

Wen Xian pondered for a while, "He sent someone?" Why didn't anyone report it to me? ”

Sure enough, this Tao Xuanju didn't send anything to the palace, I don't know what kind of medicine he sold in this gourd.

So Wen Yeting said again: "If my father doesn't believe it, you can go and ask yesterday's guards, and their group was stopped for questioning. ”

Wen Xian nodded thoughtfully, then turned around and looked at Wen Yeting, who was as steady as Mount Tai in front of him.

"But what do you mean by that? Haven't you always cared about these things for the past ten years? ”

Wen Yeting stood up and respectfully bowed: "Father, at this time and that time, I went to Shuzhou only to find that Yudu would fall into a situation of internal and external difficulties if I was not careful. You said that if I could detect that this broken intestine grass was not done by Wang Miao alone, would this Qin Capital not know? At that time, if Wang Miao is under the high pressure of Qindu, and he confesses to Yudu, then we will become the target of public criticism. ”

Wen Xian snorted and said disappreciatively: "Even if he Wang Miao wants to betray Yudu, then how can I be afraid?" This battle will come sooner or later, this Shuzhou, this fourteen states in the Central Plains, I will be in my pocket sooner or later! ”

Wen Yeting heard Wen Xian's ambition, and in an instant, he admonished: "Father, if both of them are in wolf smoke at this time, and neither party can retreat with their whole body, it will definitely cost the people and money, and the gains outweigh the losses. There is a saying, 'If you don't fight an unprepared battle, you can be invincible', why not take this opportunity to cut the table with Shuzhou, crusade against Wang Miao with Qindu, win the trust of Qindu first, and then recuperate. If you want to realize your ambition, you must not rely on Wang Miao who hides a knife in his smile and may fight back at any time. ”

Wen Xian picked up a cup of alpine Pu'er tea, took a sip, and then asked meaningfully: "Then according to you, how do you cut the table with Shuzhou?" ”

Wen Yeting also picked up the teacup beside him and replied softly: "I will lead the troops and go south to Jinyun City." ”

Wen Xian glanced at Wen Yeting meaningfully, "Is this going to attack Shuzhou directly?" Isn't that too much? A small state lord, he can't be guilty of sending troops because of him, right? ”

Wen Yeting said lightly: "Father, no, it's not to attack Shuzhou, but to rescue Shuzhou." That Wang Miao is suspicious by nature, has many ears and eyes, if Qin Du makes any moves, he will definitely be prepared to deal with Qin Du first. But he is the state lord of Shuzhou, whether in terms of military strength or financial resources, he is far inferior to Qindu, which occupies half of the Central Plains. At this time, Wang Miao had only two choices, either surrender to the Qin capital or ask for help from the Yu capital. For him, if he submits directly, then Qin Du will definitely take over Shuzhou naturally, although he can betray Yudu in exchange for Qin Du's forgiveness for him, but this Shuzhou must no longer be in charge of him, I am afraid that there is still a worry about his life. Moreover, if he shirks this matter to Yudu, it will definitely make Yu and Qin suspicious, and Qin Du may immediately turn north and come to my Yudu to ask for guilt, which offends Yudu in this way, so it is useless; But if he secretly restrains the fire and asks me to help him, maybe there will be a chance for this Shuzhou to turn around. Because he knew that Yudu's goal was not to recover Shuzhou, but to cooperate with Shuzhou to deal with Qindu. Assuming that his plan succeeds and lets Yudu face the Qin capital, he can involve Yudu in the turmoil in Shuzhou and transfer the contradiction to the two capitals of Yu and Qin. If the two are fighting in Shuzhou, he can retreat with his whole body if Yu Du wins, and Qin Du wins no different from directly surrendering to Cheng. Although these two choices are different, for him Wang Miao, the difference is a thousand miles, and choosing to ask for help from Yudu can still fight. ”

Wen Xian put down the teacup and looked at Wen Yeting who was making suggestions in front of him, as if he had seen him again ten years ago, and suddenly felt a little relieved in his heart.

Over the years, he has always thought that Wen Yeting has become a waste, but he didn't expect that after going to Shuzhou, the whole person will also take on a new look.

The Wen Yeting, who used to make Wen Xian admire, seems to have really returned.

"So what you mean is that Yu Du will do the opposite, seize the initiative, and extinguish the fire with Qin Du before Wang Miao leads the war to Yudu. But he couldn't let Wang Miao notice that Yu Du had given up on him, otherwise he would definitely break the kettle and make waves. ”

"The father is wise, and the son is exactly what he means. Wang Miao has always been kind and plays with people's hearts, such a person can't stay! It's better to use him as a bargaining chip with Qin Du, I think as long as Wang Miao dies, Qin Du doesn't have to fight with Yu Du. In this way, the external troubles of Yudu will be eliminated, and the inside will be repaired in the future, and the great cause of the father and emperor will be just around the corner. ”

"Then if Wang Miao tells Qin Du about the benefit of my Yu Capital Broken Intestine Grass, how can I guarantee that Qin Du can endure this breath?"

Wen Yeting hesitated for a while, thinking about how to explain his encounter in Shuzhou to Wen Xian.

Then he knelt down and said: "Father, the son is courageous, he has discussed with the prince of Qindu when he was in Shuzhou, if Yudu does not help Wang Miao when he executes Wang Miao in Qindu, and guarantees that he will not sell medicine in the future, the two will be able to release their previous suspicions." After all, he doesn't want to suffer unnecessary wars because of small losses, and besides, the two capitals have been trading for a hundred years, and coexistence and co-prosperity are the current general trend. ”

Wen Xian glanced at Wen Yeting with a smile, and teased: "After a long time, you have already repaid the favor with Qin Du behind your back." You are a prince of Yudu, and you don't think about how to assist the monarch to realize the great cause of the unification of Yudu, so you still turn your elbow outward. No wonder you came this time, contrary to the usual, it is really in vain that you are so deliberate. ”

Wen Yeting thought to himself that it was really not so easy, and bowed again: "Father Emperor Mingcha! It is for the sake of Yudu that I am compromised, in general, this matter is accounted for by Qin Du, if Wang Miao is treacherous, if he is not careful, Yudu will be pointed out by Qianfu. It was precisely because of the first reputation of the royal family, and the people's hearts and minds in Yudu, that I weighed it several times, so I took great pains to find the prince of Qindu who went to Jinyun City and admonished him. In short, everything I have done is completely for the sake of Yudu, and there is no falsehood. ”

Wen Xian thought for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Get up!" I believe that you are not in collusion with outsiders, and I naturally know how true and false your words are. I can promise you to send troops to Jinyun City to deal with this matter on your own, but there is one condition. ”

He stood up and said, "Father, please speak." ”

Wen Xian looked at him, paced back and forth, and said in a high voice: "Shuzhou Hua clan, I'm going to decide!" ”

Thousands of calculations, but I didn't expect that from Wen Xian's mouth, a message from the Huajian clan appeared. Wen Yeting tried to calm his mind, but his hands were a little uncontrollable heaviness, and he just kept repeating in his heart, he couldn't let Huajian jump into another fire pit, he couldn't.
