Xia Kingdom Palace, Imperial Study.

Late at night, the imperial study was still brightly lit, and Zhang Yiyun had been diligent in political affairs day and night since he succeeded to the throne of the Xia Kingdom, but because of this, Zhang Yiyun, who was overworked, fell into a head disease. As long as you are emotional, it is easy to faint.

And this situation is becoming more and more serious with the growth of Zhang Yiyun's age and the increase of Xia's domestic affairs.

Take the last time Zhang Yiyun sent Zhou Ruchun's army to besiege and kill Li Luo, but after Li Luo was burned by a fire in Thunder City, Zhang Yiyun couldn't afford to be ill because of this incident, and it was more than five days.

Fortunately, God blessed Zhang Yiyun and survived. Although the imperial doctor had made countless suggestions to let Zhang Yiyun rest more, Zhang Yiyun could not stay anywhere, just waited for his condition to improve, and plunged into the imperial study again. 33

At this time, in the imperial study, in addition to Zhang Yiyun on the throne, there was also an old man standing below, although the old man looked like he was already in his old age, but the essence revealed from time to time in his cloudy eyes made people shudder, as if as long as he glanced at it, the old man could see through anyone's heart.

The old man is the famous prime minister of Xia Kingdom: Xue Qingsi.

The reason why Xia Guo was able to become a hegemon in the era of the Ten Kingdoms was that in addition to the invincible Li Kang, he was also inseparable from the old man in front of him.

At that time, the Xia Kingdom was weak, if it weren't for Xue Qingsi to take the lead in changing the law and innovating, I am afraid that even with Li Kang, the Xia Kingdom would not be able to hold on to the present.

Gently closing the last notebook, Zhang Yiyun, who was in his forties, raised his slightly tired eyes and looked at Xue Qingsi below, and said, "I've been waiting for a long time, Prime Minister." ”

Xue Qingsi arched his hand slightly: "Your Majesty works hard for the country, which is respectable and lamentable, and the old minister is ashamed in his heart." ”

Waving his hand, Zhang Yiyun laughed softly: "Okay, don't say these things in front of me, if someone else says this, I believe it, but if it's you, I don't believe it." ”

Xue Qingsi gave up his hand again, and said with a flat face: "What the old minister said, every word comes from the bottom of his heart. ”

Shaking his head, Zhang Yiyun waved his hand and said, "That's it, let's not talk about it, let's talk about Huainan." ”

"Huai Wang Li Luo, and my royal family already have a relationship by marriage, but unfortunately the road is far away, I am grateful for the hard work of King Huai, and he is in the heavy responsibility of guarding the country, so I simply sent someone to send Jing'er to Jeju, but now a few days have passed, and I don't see this Huai King come to greet his relatives, tell me, what kind of medicine is he selling in his gourd?"

Xue Qingsi pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Does Your Majesty want to listen to the truth, or is it a lie?" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Yiyun became interested: "I just don't know the truth and falsehood in the prime minister's mouth, what's the point?" ”

Xue Qingsi said in a deep voice: "The lie is that the king of Huai and the princess of Qianguo also have a marriage contract, and the minister heard that the envoy of Qianguo and his relatives have also arrived in Huainan, and it is estimated that he is busy receiving the envoy of Qianguo, so it is delayed." ”

His face suddenly became a little cold, and Zhang Yiyun said lightly: "What about the truth?" ”

Xue Qingsi looked at Zhang Yiyun: "Your Majesty, the truth is not very good. ”

Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yiyun waved his hand and said, "But it's okay to say it." ”

Xue Qingsi bowed down and said in a condensed voice: "Although His Majesty only named Li Luo as the King of Huai a few days ago, and sent the princess thousands of miles to Li Luo, the death of Your Majesty and Li Kang is not clear. Later, he sent troops to Huainan twice, and to tell the truth, Huainan and the imperial court have long been incompatible. At this time, let Li Luo go to Jeju to greet his relatives, but if Li Luo is in his right mind, he will feel that there is fraud in it. So I won't go. ”

Having said that, Zhang Yiyun simply did not hide it: "The biggest advantage of the prime minister is to see the problem clearly, but the biggest disadvantage is to see the problem too clearly." ”

Xue Qingsi nodded lightly: "The old minister is praising me as Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Yiyun sighed, shook his head and said: "It's not a secret, I did prepare an ambush in Jeju, just waiting for Li Luo to enter Jeju and take him down in one fell swoop, but now that Li Luo doesn't go, I am a little embarrassed." ”

Xue Qingsi nodded: "Now that Huainan is strong and strong, and if Huainan is forcibly taken, the Xia Kingdom will inevitably suffer huge losses, and the outcome is unknown, if you can capture Li Luo, it is indeed the best choice." ”

Zhang Yiyun helped his forehead and said, "The problem is here, what do I need to do to let Li Luo go to Jeju." ”

Xue Qingsi's eyes rolled slightly: "Perhaps, there is a person who can." ”

Zhang Yiyun was overjoyed when he heard this: "Who?" ”

Xue Qingsi said: "Zhuge Hou! ”

"Him?!" Zhang Yiyun's face once again showed a thoughtful look: "If it were someone else, I would definitely use it, but only this Zhuge Hou ......"

"Your Majesty doesn't want to use it?" Xue Qingsi asked.

Zhang Yiyun shook his head: "I don't dare to use it!" Zhuge Hou's strategy is not under anyone in this world, and the relationship between him and Li Luo is too complicated, I am worried that he will turn against me when the time comes. ”

Xue Qingsi said: "But didn't Your Majesty still make him a military advisor of the Xia Kingdom?" ”

"That's different!" Zhang Yiyun said: "Although I made him the military advisor of the Xia Kingdom, at least Zhou Ruchun watched him for me, if he really helped Li Luo, Zhou Ruchun would have killed him a long time ago." ”

Xue Qingsi frowned: "So Your Majesty would rather attack Huainan than let Zhuge Hou give it a try?" ”

Zhang Yiyun lowered his head and pondered silently, in fact, in his heart, the threat that Zhuge Hou could bring may be far above the city of Huainan, which can be seen from Zhou Ruchun and Zhuge Hou, who only took less than two months to clear the kings of the country.

If it wasn't necessary, he really didn't want Zhuge Hou to interfere in this matter.

After a long time, Zhang Yiyun seemed to have made up his mind, looked at Xue Qingsi with a serious face, and said, "Li Luoming knows that there is an ambush in Jeju, how can he Zhuge Hou let Li Luo jump into the fire pit?" ”

Xue Qingsi smiled slightly: "Although Your Majesty has issued an order, the old minister believes that Zhuge Hou will definitely be able to do it." ”

After taking a long breath, Zhang Yiyun nodded heavily and said, "That's it, just do as you say." ”

Xue Qingsi bowed and bowed: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Rubbing his eyebrows, which were a little painful, Zhang Yiyun turned his head and asked, "By the way, the crown prince and the second prince Zhang Liang, have there been any abnormalities recently?" ”

Zhang Yiyun remembers clearly that the last time he was critically ill, his two sons were not so worry-free.

Xue Qingsi smiled dumbly: "As long as Your Majesty is healthy, the two princes will always be filial children under their knees." ”

"Is that all?" Zhang Yiyun unexpectedly showed a look of disappointment on his face, and muttered: "On the contrary, I hope that they can be like Li Luo, so that I can be helpless......

Some people died, but not completely......
