In the city of Chang'an in Northern Qin, Zhao Zhao won a complete victory outside the Saiwai, which made Yuan Zhi excited.

Since Yuanshan succeeded in seeking Xichuan, his prestige in the court has become even greater, and he has taken the opportunity to reward hundreds of officials under his name.

Although Yuan Zhen was unwilling, but in the face of the strong Yuan Shan, he could only dare to be angry and dare not speak, and he stamped the edict very cowardly.

But Zhao Zhao's good news didn't make Yuan Zhen happy for too long, and Yu Wenzhi passed the news of Xiao Liang's plan to attach the Northern Qin Dynasty to Yuan Shan, and Yuan Shan deserved to take the credit on himself.

So there was a scene at the court meeting, where Yuan Shan's eyebrows danced and told the beautiful vision of getting Xichuan Jiangling Xiangfan.

Most of the ministers applauded loudly, but only Min Guan Yuanzhi and other ministers looked solemn.

Yuan Shan's words changed at this time, and the spearhead was directly pointed at Min Guan: "Why is Min Xiang depressed, now that our dynasty has obtained Xiangyang, Jiangling has also been attached, and only the original six counties of Dongwu have been handed over to Guangzhou and Guangzhou in the Southern Dynasty, with a population of less than five million. My Great Qin now has a population of 40 million, isn't it just around the corner to dominate the world? ”

Thinking of this, Yuan Shan glanced at Yuan Zhi with his eyes, if he ruled the world, it would be too late for him to start again, and at that time, as the founding king of the Great Unification Dynasty, Yuan Zhi would definitely be able to sit firmly.

Min Guan followed Yuan Shan's words and said: "In the past, when the Northern Yan was in its heyday, the whole country was mobilized to conquer the Houqian, but it was defeated by the 50,000 Houqian army in Feishui, and the Northern Yan has since fallen apart, and the first emperor has the opportunity to take advantage of it to annex the north. Although the Southern Dynasty has experienced civil strife now, Xiao Ju has already leveled the internal affairs of the Southern Dynasty, and Xiao Ju is now twenty-six years old, which is the heyday, so I am afraid that he cannot take it lightly. ”

Min Guan immediately poured cold water on Yuan Shan, then turned to look at Yuan Zhen and said: "Your Majesty, now that Xiao Liang has decided to annex it, we should quickly increase our troops and horses to Xiangyang, quickly conquer Yiyang, and completely cut off the last fortified city of the Southern Dynasty north of the Yangtze River, and at the same time make General Fu Yuan attack Guangling at all costs. ”

Yuan Shan immediately said at this time: "This doesn't have to bother Min Xiang, I have ordered Yuwen Zhi and Tuoba Yuan to attack Yiyang." ”

Min Guan was suddenly shocked in his heart, and then pointed his finger at Yuan Shan, and said angrily: "Such a big matter, King Pengcheng must not send troops without consulting with His Majesty." Is there still His Majesty in the eyes of King Pengcheng! ”

"Oh?" Yuan Shan pretended to be surprised, and then looked at Yuan Zhen with a cold gaze.

Yuan Zhen was startled by Yuan Shan's gaze, and then hurriedly said: "The matter is urgent, the soldiers are fast, and I absolutely support the decision of King Pengcheng." ”

Min Guan angrily threw down the wat board in his hand, and then said directly: "In this case, Weichen is old and asks to go back to the house to recuperate." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about the faces of the people present, and walked out of the Humble Administrator's Hall directly, got up and went home.

The important ministers of the DPRK and China took the opportunity to impeach Min Guan for his arrogance and arrogance, and let Yuan Zhi punish him.

Yuan Zhi just said: "Min Xiang is overworked, just cultivate for a few days, and Zhong Aiqing can't say much." ”

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yuan Zhen secretly left the palace and came to Zhao Zhao's mansion.

Zhao Zhao led the troops outside at this time, and there was only Princess Yuan Yun of Zhaoyang in Zhao Zhao's mansion.

Yuan Yun was quite surprised when she saw Yuan Zhi coming here in disguise, but it was inconvenient to ask more outside, so she invited Yuan Zhen into the secret room.

Yuan Zhen looked left and right in the secret room, and saw that there was no one around, so he immediately hugged his head and cried.

Yuan Yun didn't know what to do for a while, so she had to keep comforting Yuan Zhen.

After a long time, Yuan Zhen came to his senses and said to Yuan Yun: "Imperial sister, now Yuan Shan's wolf ambition has been revealed. I didn't need to use my tiger talisman to mobilize troops and horses without authorization, even Min Xiang had to avoid its edge, and today in the court, Yuan Shan's eyes were very cold when he looked at me, as if he was looking at a dead man, how should I be good. ”

"What can I do with the court, I'm a woman?" Yuan Yun naturally knew that Yuan Zhen came today in the hope of using Zhao Zhao's power to try to get rid of Yuan Shan, but Yuan Yun had just given birth to a son for Zhao Zhao's continuation of the incense, and he really didn't want Zhao Zhao to be involved in this dispute.

When Yuan Zhen heard Yuan Yun say this, he was speechless for a while. But he forcibly stabilized his mind and said to Yuan Yun: "Imperial sister, imperial sister, now I can only rely on the horse." ”

"In the past, the horse and His Majesty plotted to get rid of Yuan Shan in the palace, at that time, Yuan Shan only hundreds of people entered the palace, and there was Min Guan in the court to balance Yuan Shan, His Majesty was still submissive, thousands of forbidden troops rushed up, it may not be impossible to get rid of Yuan Shan, but His Majesty cherished his life and betrayed the horse to Yuan Shan, if it weren't for the huge influence of the Zhao family in Bingzhou, I am afraid that the Zhao family has been executed by the whole family."

Yuan Zhi was full of shame at this time, he personally pushed Zhao Zhao into a situation of no return, if it were not for the fear of the state army to completely throw himself into Min Guan, the fear of Zhao Youzhi's old department, and the Dingbian Hou Yu literary skills to speak for Zhao Zhao, I am afraid that Zhao Zhao will be imprisoned for life if he does not die.

But Yuan Zhen still didn't give up, he still looked at Yuan Yun with hopeful eyes, and cried and said: "Gao Qian and I said that if there is a chance to dominate the world, then Yuan Shan will definitely kill me, because the founding king of the world, whether he is a puppet or not, wants to be famous in history, and now the opportunity is very close, I feel that Yuan Shan is about to start." ”

Yuan Yun couldn't do anything at the moment, Yuan Zhen was weak and incompetent, and he couldn't keep the world left to him by Yuan Jian.

Yuan Yun roared at Yuan Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty." You were already an adult when you ascended the throne. But it was still reduced to the playthings in the hands of Empress Min, Min Xiang, and Yuan Shan, and there were few adult monarchs who were set aside throughout history. What can be done now? There are 100,000 troops in Bingzhou, but did these 100,000 troops arrive in Chang'an? I'm afraid that just after passing the Tiger Prison Pass, it will be exhausted. Now the palace is full of Yuanshan's eyeliner, and even Min Guan is now not going to the court to avoid trouble, and there is no turning point in things. ”

Yuan Yun's words shattered Yuan Zhen's last illusion, and Yuan Zhen staggered away from the Zhao Mansion.

When he sat back in the carriage, Yuan Zhen felt that the strength of his whole body was exhausted.

And after Min Guan returned to the house, he was also sulking alone in the study.

Min Shiyuan is not there, only Min Shichuan is dangling around Min Guan.

Min Guan scolded: "You brainless thing, how did I give birth to such a son as you, if you have half of your brother's ability, I won't be so worried." ”

Min Shichuan said nonchalantly: "Isn't my father just worried about Yuan Shanmou usurping the throne?" This Yuan family let it usurp it, and it is not still surnamed Wang. Our Min family is not still the largest family. ”

But before Min Shichuan's words were finished, he suddenly saw an inkstone flying towards him, Min Shichuan hurriedly dodged, and then jumped up and said, "You want to kill me." ”

"yes, I just wanted to kill you!" Min Guan did not have a trace of the majesty of the prime minister at this moment, but shouted: "The king is the king, the minister is the minister, once Yuan Shan becomes the emperor, will we still have a way to live?" This person will be rewarded, not a good type. ”

Min Shichuan had no choice but to bow his head and remain silent, standing quietly aside.

Min Guan then began to write letters in an uproar, and soon called the generals: "Pick a few capable dead soldiers, send these letters out of Chang'an, and hand them over to the designated people." ”

At this time, the subordinate came to report that someone outside the house asked to see him.

Min Guan was impatient, so he wanted to shirk it, but after thinking about it, now that he seems to have lost power, who will come to see him?

Therefore he ordered his subordinates to bring men.

This person Min Guan knew, and it was this person who came to his house before Zhao Zhao went on the expedition.

Min Guan motioned for Min Shichuan to go out with his eyes, and then said to Wang Qi: "How can Mr. come here when he enters?" ”

Wang Qi glanced at the broken inkstone on the ground and the messy desktop, and knew that Min Guan must be upset, so he said straight to the point: "Today, above the court, Min Xiang and Yuan Shan are competing against each other, but Your Majesty is weak and incompetent, and now there is no room for maneuver. ”

Min Guan suddenly became alert: "How did you know about the court?" ”

"Money can make ghosts grind, this sentence Min Xiang will not stop without stopping." Wang Qi said casually.

Seeing that Min Guan's face was getting more and more ugly, Wang Qi hurriedly stopped and said directly to Min Guan: "Now that Yuan is good and has military achievements, I am afraid that the usurpation of the throne will only be between the morning and night, Min Xiang is still in Chang'an, is he planning to go to see the first emperor with Yuan Zhen?" ”

Min Guan's face became extremely red, but with the extreme redness, it was extremely pale.

Seeing Min Guan's uncertain face, Wang Qi knew that he had hit Min Guan's heart.

Then Wang Qi said to Min Guan: "Now that Yuan Shan's usurpation of the throne is basically a matter of time, Min Xiang should also think about himself." ”

When Min Guan heard this, he suddenly pulled out his sword and said to Wang Qi, "Who are you?" What is the purpose of being here today? ”

Wang Qi just smiled and opened Min Guan's sword, and said to Min Guan: "Naturally, I came to rescue Min Xiang from fire and water." Now although Yuan Shan covers the sky with one hand, but Min Xiang is not without a back hand in Chang'an, if it really comes to the moment of all difficulties, Min Xiang will leave Chang'an and go to Yecheng, then raise his arms and shout, and do his best to fight outside the gate, it is not impossible to eradicate Yuan Shan, and revitalize the dynasty. ”

Min Guan was full of thoughts at this time, but he still said to Wang Qi: "The Southern Dynasty is in danger now, if my Great Qin is in civil strife, it will be beneficial to the Southern Dynasty, I know that you are a Nann, but if you have such thoughts, I'm afraid you are Wei Ran's disciple, right?" ”

Wang Qi was noncommittal, and seemed to have put his death out of the way, but just said to Yuan Shan: "My lord hates Min Xiang to the bone and doesn't want Min Xiang to die at the hands of others." ”

When Min Guan heard this, the expression on his face kept changing. Then Wang Qi said: "Zhao Zhao is now amassing troops and annexing the state, and he can merge with Min Xiang to form an alliance, and Fu Yuan of the Huainan Army is also a descendant of Min Xiang, and Yecheng is now garrisoned by the second son of Min, as for the Qingzhou Thorn Shi Duan, this person is also a loyal person." At that time, Min Xiang will sit on the land outside the Guan, with a population of more than 20 million, far better than the Guannei, and there will be a few people under Yuan Shan, and there will be a few people such as Yuwen Zhi, and Min Xiang's martial arts are higher than Yuan Shan, I believe that Yuan Shan will be eradicated in a few days and orthodoxy will be restored. ”

Min Guan has already moved at this time, although he just wants to monopolize the power and does not want to rebel, but at this time, the situation is extremely unfavorable to him, and he does not want to be preempted by Yuan Shan one morning.

Therefore, Min Guan asked sincerely: "But I have to be famous." Yuan Shan is a royal clansman, if he forces His Majesty to take the throne, if I trespass, I will become the target of public criticism. ”

Wang Qi suddenly appeared ruthless at this time, and said: "If Yuan Zhi is harmed by Yuan Shan, Min Xiang escaped from Chang'an with Yuan Zhen's only flesh and blood Yuan Frame, and supported Yuan Xiang to be the emperor, so that the righteousness of the world is standing by Min Xiang's side, Yuan Xiang is young, Min Xiang is alone, and he is fighting against Yuan Shan, which is the best policy." ”

Min Guan was obviously moved at this time, and Wang Qi's words could be described as every word.

If he supported Yuan Frame to ascend to the throne of God, with the rich land outside the Guan, and he occupied the tiger prison, Yuan Shan could only be beaten passively.

It's just that Yuan Zhen is his nephew after all, thinking of this, Min Guan is a little unbearable after all.

But Wang Qi made up for the last knife and said to Min Guan: "Min Xiang regards Yuan Zhi as his nephew, but has Yuan Zhi ever regarded Min Zhi as his own person?" If he had already made Min quite his own, how could Yuan Shan become so big? ”

This remark can be said to have made Min Guanmao pause, and the last trace of guilt in his heart disappeared.

Min Guan got up and said to Wang Qi: "But if Yuan Shan acts, how can Yuan Frame escape?" Besides, I don't know when Wonshan will act? ”

Wang Qi smiled mysteriously and said: "Today, after the next dynasty, Yuan Zhi went to Princess Zhaoyang in disguise, presumably to seek Zhao Zhao as foreign aid, I leaked this matter to Yuan Shan, where can Yuan Shan tolerate it?" It is inevitable to enter the palace to find Yuan Zhenxing to ask for guilt. The prime minister can pretend to find His Majesty to discuss how to get rid of Yuan Shan, and then take the opportunity to ask Yuan Zhen to hand over his son to Min Xiang on the grounds of protecting the royal bloodline, and Min Xiang Xingye first asked Princess Zhaoyang and his son to be sent to Yecheng together with Yuan Frame. ”

"Min Xiang rescued the princess, the horse will definitely be grateful to Min Xiang, and then I am sending someone to inform Yuan Shan of the matter, now Yu Wenzhi and others are not in Chang'an, no one can dissuade Yuan Shan, after Yuan Shan entered the palace, His Majesty relied on the support of Min Xiang, and he would not easily compromise with Yuan Shan, but at that time, Min Xiang had already escaped from Chang'an, and people walked in Chang'an to spread rumors, saying that Yuan Shan killed the king and usurped the throne. At that time, it will be difficult for Yuan Shan to ride a tiger, if he lets Yuan Zhen go, he will have to hand over the rights in his hand to block everyone's tongue, but does Min Xiang think Yuan Shan will do this? ”

Min Guan shook his head and said, "Naturally, he won't do this, he will definitely not do anything, take the opportunity to kill Yuan Zhen, and directly claim the emperor." ”

Thinking of this, Min Guan couldn't help but feel numb, then looked at Wang Qi tremblingly, and said, "Is this your idea, or Wei Ran's idea." ”

Hearing the murderous intent hidden in Min Guan's words, Wang Qi hurriedly said: "I'm just a businessman, how can I have such an idea, this is all the idea of my lord." He also asked me to bring a message to Min Xiang. ”

Just when Min Guan was curious, Wang Qi said: "In the past, Min Xiang used the sword plan to kill Dingnanhou, and now I Wei Ran used the Yang plot of the Tuogu Strategy, and the courtesy is still exchanged, whether it is to be loyal and filial piety to protect the entire Northern Qin, or to divide the entire Northern Qin, all in Min Xiang's thoughts." ”
