Although Cui Huan had already prepared, he couldn't help but be a little nervous when he met Xiao Ju.

Xiao Ju sat above very casually, and he was also very curious about what kind of person this northern genius who could be called a great talent by Wei Ran was.

Cui Huan walked into the big tent, and at this time there was only Xiao Ju in the big tent, and Xiao Ju was also observing Cui Huan.

But seeing Cui He kneeling down and saying, "Grass people Cui He, participate in Your Majesty." ”

"Flat."

Cui He is wearing a cyan robe today, and his complexion is pale. His eyes were blazing, and even Xiao Ju couldn't help but sigh, he was really a handsome son.

"I heard that Duke Qin is very fond of you, so I hereby see you." Xiao Ju came up and entered the topic.

"It's all because of Qin Gong's preference, and the grass people are fortunate enough to see the face of the sky." Cui Huan's speech was neither humble nor arrogant, which attracted Xiao Ju's favor.

"I don't know what Gongzi Cui thinks about today?"

Hearing this, Cui He knew that the big exam was coming. Although Wei Ran can also directly insert Cui He into the center of power, he also knows that Wei Ran has always been a person who follows the rules in the officialdom.

"Today, the North and the South are opposed. Although there seems to be no civil strife in Northern Qin, it is secretly turbulent. Yuan Shan is a deep thinker, but now he does not have enough prestige in the army, so he can't bear it, because he is a hidden tiger. ”

"Prime Minister Min Guan, the old man, attack the scheming but will eventually be defeated by the scheming, everyone is afraid of Min Guan's power, but once Min Guan loses power, the Min Party is scattered, but it is the second son Min Shiyuan, who inherited Min Guan's scheming, but also knows how to treat people sincerely, so Min Shiyuan Ke called it a hidden wolf."

"Emperor Yuan Zhen of Northern Qin, weak and incompetent, let Yuan Shan become bigger in the early stage, used to balance Min Guan, but he didn't know how to stop in moderation, which led to the expansion of Yuan Shan's ambitions. Yuan Zhi is to Yuan Zhen, just like Cao Cao and Emperor Han Xian, Yuan Zhen is a twilight sheep. ”

After listening to Cui Huan's words, Xiao Ju was also quite interested, and then said: "Listening to what Mr. said, the Northern Dynasty seems to be nothing more than Erer, but why has my Southern Dynasty been invaded by the Northern Dynasty?" ”

It's coming, the big test is coming.

"Taizu Xiao Huan, relying on the scholar clan, finally made Emperor Wen also trapped as a scholar clan, and after succeeding to the throne, he was unable to get out of the imperial city. The farthest distance in this life is only from Taicheng to under Zhongshan Mountain. ”

Under Zhongshan Mountain, it refers to Xiao Heng's tomb.

"And now Your Majesty can indeed lead troops out of the imperial city and hold military power in his hands, which is what is stronger than Emperor Wen."

"Duke Qin, Wen Taowu is strategic, just like the moon in the dynasty, Your Majesty is like a galaxy in the distance, the galaxy is in the sky, the moon is on again, the monarch and the minister are harmonious, this is the luck of my dynasty."

Cui He immediately glanced at Xiao Ju and found that Xiao Ju's face was as usual, and he seemed to have a sense of deep understanding

So Cui Huan said again: "Duke Qin, good at power and strategy but knows how to be flexible, knows military affairs but is not rigid, is a very good minister but knows how to advance and retreat, can be a lion." ”

"Your Majesty is wise and good at knowing people and being good at duties, although outsiders think that Your Majesty is too kind, but the grass people think that Your Majesty is extremely clever. Although the troubled times should be used as a typical, but now by the Duke of Qin in front of the charge, Your Majesty only needs to sit and wait for the Duke of Qin to attack the city, he will eliminate the disadvantages of the southern dynasty, and wait for the north to change, that is, the day of the world, Your Majesty can be Jiaolong. ”

Xiao Ju laughed when he heard this, and then said: "If Cui Gongzi can only sneak around and shoot horses, then I can't see Cui Gongzi's talent." ”

Cui Huan was unimpressed, and said with a smile: "Now that the king of Yue is rebellious, the king of Jiao secretly communicates with the king of Yue, and the queen of Yue is also determined to sweep the king of Jiao, so that the southern land is pacified, as long as the slang Yue people are appeased, and the Han people and the local ethnic groups jointly manage it, you can ensure the stability of Jiaozhou." The two places of Minzhou, Guangzhou, are also the places where Hu and Han live together, where the history of assassination can be set up, and at the same time there is an observation envoy, and the observation envoy is jointly elected by the local tribes and has the right to supervise. ”

"That being the case, the south can be safe. Now the Shi clan has been baptized by Qin Gong for a while, and its strength is not as good as before. The trouble in his heart changed from the southern nobles to the northern wealthy families and the feudal kings of various places. But now the fiefdoms of the vassal kings are basically within the jurisdiction of the northern wealthy families, so they seem to be two opponents, but they are actually the same opponent. ”

"Oh?" Listening to Cui He's eloquent talk, Xiao Ju became more interested, and then asked, "What do you think Cui Gongzi should do?" ”

"First of all, we should divide the policy, and if it doesn't work, you can send troops to fight for it. The soldiers of the vassal kings are none other than the soldiers of the three states of Yongjingjiang, Xiao Yin, the king of Zhao, Xiao Gui, the king of Chu, Xiao Liang, the king of Han, and Xiao Zhi, the king of Yong. Among them, Xiao Yin, the king of Zhao, and Xiao Gui, the king of Chu, all have military power in their hands, Xiao Liang, the king of Han, and Xiao Zhi, the king of Yong, and the military power in the fief is in the hands of the northern scholars. ”

Cui Huan added at this time: "Xiao Yun, King of Gucheng, Xiao Han, King of Ancheng, the fiefdoms of these two people, not only have few soldiers, but also are surrounded by the rest of the kings. ”

Xiao Ju frowned when he heard this, and then asked, "Why does Gongzi Cui think that I want a big battle with the vassal king?" ”

"Your Majesty forgives the grass people for their innocence, and the grass people dare to tell them." Cui He said with a sale.

"Although Cui Gongzi said it clearly, I am not a person who kills indiscriminately."

"Your Majesty was injured by a traitor under the Suzaku Bridge in the past, and the grass people know a little about medicine, and they can also see a trace of twilight on Your Majesty's face. Although His Majesty seems to be unharmed now, he must be in great pain every day. I don't know if what the grass people are saying is right?"

Xiao Ju was shocked, this secret was only known to Wei Ran and a few other people, and then looked at Cui He, but seeing Cui He's righteous face, Xiao Ju still nodded.

"Your Majesty is not safe now, and you can't have sex for a long time. Although Xiao Luan's sword pierced His Majesty's lungs, it still caused some damage to his heart and veins. Now His Majesty has no dragon son, and Xiao Ziyin is only kept because this is the direct bloodline of the royal family, but if His Majesty has no children, can the kings obey Xiao Ziyin? His Majesty has now let Xiao Ziyin temporarily live in the East Palace of Taicheng, which is already quite dissatisfied. ”

"Does Cui Gongzi ever know who is dissatisfied?"

"It must be Yangzhou Mu Hengzhi, King Zhao is his daughter for the first emperor, if His Majesty has no children, Xiao Yin should succeed to the throne. Now His Majesty wants to pass on the throne to a young son, just because this young son can make it more convenient for the Duke of Qin to assist the government. The grass people are wrong. ”

"What Cui Gongzi said is true." Xiao Ju sighed: "Everyone in the world says that Wei Ran's merits are high and threatens the imperial power. I and Wei Ran became friends in the middle of the end, and the two of them went through all kinds of difficulties to get to this situation. If I have no children all the time, and King Zhao succeeds to the throne, can I still tolerate Wei Ran? ”

Cui Huan shook his head: "Categorically can't, not to mention the people of the Heng clan, even King Zhao is an adult, how can he let Duke Qin act like this like His Majesty?" ”

The camp suddenly fell silent, and Cui Huan said at this time: "Even if Your Majesty gives birth to a dragon son, people with a heart can still make a fuss about Xiao Ziyin, although everyone is not convinced by Xiao Ziyin now, but when the imperial power is fighting, all the excuses are just a pretense." Therefore, whether it is for the current Xiao Ziyin or the future His Majesty Longzi, all disadvantages must be strangled in a cage before the new emperor ascends the throne. ”

When Xiao Ju heard this, he suddenly stood up and shouted: "Cui Huan, do you know what you are talking about?" ”

Cui Huan was also taken aback by Xiao Ju, but still said calmly: "Of course the grass people know what the grass people say. His Majesty also said that the grass people are not guilty. ”

Xiao Ju stared at Cui Huan deadly, although Cui Huan's words were in Xiao Ju's arms, and it was what Xiao Ju was worried about. But being said suddenly made him feel ashamed of himself, an emperor actually thinks about how to eradicate his royal family all day long, what is the difference between this and those unscrupulous monarchs.

Cui Huan said coldly: "The grass people are just stating the facts, if Your Majesty can live long and be healthy, the grass people will naturally not do such an idea, but now Your Majesty's injury is in danger, but it is only a few years, and you must take precautions." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ju also sat down dejectedly, the imperial doctors who treated Xiao Ju in the palace were all directly raised in the palace, and they were not allowed to have any contact with outsiders, just to prevent the news from leaking.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ju sighed: "Mr. Cui has anything else to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Now that the Northern Qin government and the opposition are in balance, the two factions are in balance, which is by no means a good thing for us. Although they fought with each other, the east and west of Northern Qin had already shown a sense of stability. Minguan is great in the east, and Yuanshan is great in the west, if you want civil strife in Northern Qin, you can only let Yuanshan get greater credit. ”

Seeing Xiao Ju's puzzled eyes, Cui Huan said: "When our dynasty is turbulent, Xichuan soldiers and horses will also participate in the war, and then Yuan Shan and Min Guan will definitely want to gnaw a piece of meat from my court, but this meat can be thrown to Yuan Shan, and Yuan Shan will be complacent when he obtains military merits." At that time, Yuan Zhen will be more powerful, and he will inevitably be more domineering, and Yuan Zhen will be thirty at that time, and he will already be a puppet, what will happen to Yuan Zhen? ”

"Yuan Zhen will definitely find a way to kill Yuan Shan, but Yuan Shan is not so easy to kill, and Yuan Shan may take risks at that time." Xiao Ju also reacted at this time and analyzed.

"Exactly, once Yuan Shan moved the mind of abolishing Yuan Zhen, then the Northern Qin will inevitably be in chaos, and the current balance between the government and the opposition will become the source of division at that time, and Min Guan will inevitably flee to the east for self-preservation, and divide the east of the Tiger Prison, and the Tiger Prison on both sides will be the boundary, and then Qin will be divided into east and west. The two sides are fighting endlessly, and we can take the opportunity to ask for the land that was recaptured by the Northern Qin, and then sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. ”

Cui He then said excitedly: "Your Majesty, you are willing to give, and you can only get if you are giving." The father once drank with Yuan Shan, and he had long been aware of the wolf ambition in this person, and Yuan Shan, as a member of the royal family, might even kill Yuan Zhen and establish himself as the emperor. At that time, no matter which side is weak, we can take the opportunity to enter the army, if Yuanshan is weak, we will take the opportunity to seize Chang'an, if Minguan is weak, we will take the opportunity to seize Luoyang. ”

Cui Huan was already carried away at this time, and said directly: "Although our army is in a civil war now, the Duke of Qin specially chose the battlefield in Baling, because of this position, whether it is Jiankang or Jiangling, it can be supported. He also specially did not mobilize the main forces of Guangling and Jiangling, just for fear that Northern Qin would take the opportunity to go south. ”

Xiao Ju really knew Cui He at this moment, and then called: "Come here, spread my will, and seal Cui He as a sacrificial wine." ”
