Qi State, Linzi City, in the palace of the King of Qi.

The monarch and the ministers were anxious to argue and discuss the danger of the Qi country.

What gave King Jiang Yu the most headache was that there were also loyal ministers who had the heart to hit the pillar and offered advice, saying that they would be protons or even sacrifice the head of the son.

"Please, sacrifice the son!" Tan Yazi of Queen Wang Hailin's party was especially insistent, leading several people to kneel on the ground, causing a lot of discussion in the hall.

Jiang Yu, the king of Qi, clenched his fists and suddenly sneered: "Hehehe, is that Son of Heaven really only the son of the world?" ”

The ministers all quieted down, and the needles could be heard in the hall.

This is an obvious fact, and after the fierce discussion the day before, the solution of Nashizi's guilt has long been vetoed. Because the real old foxes all know that if Da Zhou is just to control the little proton, a marriage and study tour can make the son of the world become a proton.

Da Zhou wants more.

In such a big effort, at the risk of provoking a war, at least to return control of the land of the Lu State, and even to make the Qi State chaotic, and set out to control the entire Qi State.

But it is undeniable that if he can really send Jiang Mo out of his relatives in a righteous way, it will inevitably make Da Zhou have to find other reasons.

Today, we are only discussing the possibility of war and how to reduce the loss of power and land if we compromise, and there is no need to sacrifice the son of the world.

But who knows, a man named Tan Yazi actually put forward a suggestion to throw stones from the prince to ask for directions. Headed by Tan Yazi, there are a group of talents from the Great Zhou Dynasty, although they are from the Qi State, they already identify with the Great Zhou Dynasty more. In addition, Tan Yazi also has a close relationship with Dasitu Wang Hailin, Wang Hailin is a member of the queen's party, and he desperately wants to send the prince to Da Zhou and make amends with heavy gifts.

Such a small princely court is also intricately related.

Seeing that Jiang Yu was about to be furious, the bearded and resolute-eyed Dasi Kong Tian Dan came out of the queue and saluted back: "The minister thinks that the Qi State should fight, and the Son of Heaven of the Zhou Kingdom may not think that the Qi State dares to fight, and second, the purpose of the Son of Heaven is to pacify the hereditary princes and wealthy families; Third, Yanzhou was levied by the previous kings and must not be lost; Fourth, with a conspiracy to trap the Qi country in injustice, it can also be inferred from the side that the Great Zhou is not willing to fight, and needs far-fetched reasons to mobilize the army····· Moreover, even if it is sacrificed at this time, this battle is inevitable. ”

The two families of Dasi Kou Sun Jie and Da Sima Baowu were a little surprised, and the Tian family, who had never said anything, actually stood on the united front with them rarely, and what they said was reasonable.

"No, the first king was so brave that he didn't dare to fight..."

"It is rare for the country of Qi to be stable, and the Son of Heaven may not have this intention..."

"Da Zhou just wants to take back Ludi..."

This remark was made by the Confucian ministers headed by the Kan family, who were loyal to the Qi State but also agreed with the Emperor of the Great Zhou.

Jiang Yu, the king of Qi, fell into a devastating choice again.

Just when the ministers had a war of words, a low-level official knelt down at the door of the hall in a panic and kowtowed, and the eunuch whispered to the king of Qi Xiao Sikou that he had something important to see, and the palace was also quiet.

"Tell the king, the spies, doormen, and servants on Si Kou's mansion have all been sent out of the mansion by the son of the Sun family..."

Sun Jie's face turned pale, and he immediately saluted the king and replied: "Please ask the king's ministers to return to the house to deal with it." ”

"Let's go!" Qi King Jiang Yu stroked his hands impatiently, he was really in no mood to think about other things, so he just took advantage of this time to break up the meeting.

There was a lot of noise in the main hall of the Qi Palace, and Jiang Yu, the king of Qi, had already left.

········

"Your Highness, you have done as you say, forgive me for taking the liberty of the minister, do you really plan to be a proton?" Sun Liang casually bowed his hand, then entered the study, and said as he walked. When the matter of proton, I don't know if the people around Jiang Mo told him, or if the king of Qi told his close ministers, or if Sun Liang was really smart, Jiang Mo's first move guessed the purpose.

"You said that there is a high probability that my father will not provoke a war." Jiang Mo smiled, undeniable.

"Da Zhou's appetite is not so small!" Sun Liang couldn't guess the son in front of him.

"Then we'll make him have such a small appetite."

"War is inevitable, either today or the future" Sun Liang frowned, obviously not very happy to reconcile.

"If Zhou wants to fight and the national strength is superior, there is no need to bother at all, unless... Hehe.... Take it one step at a time and solve our internal problems first. Jiang Mo looked at Sun Liang, and stopped talking... Strange thoughts arose in my heart again.

"Oh, the golden flute?" Sun Liang tried to touch Jiang Mo's attempt again, and asked cautiously, "Then you can interrogate her now?" ”

Jiang Mo shook his head, snatched the folding fan with "Shen" and "Si" written on Sun Liang before and after, and still smiled and quipped: "There's nothing to judge, I still want her to be my big maid." ”

"Your Highness, you don't want to die, the minister said that she is not a weak woman, she is an assassin." This time, Sun Liang really didn't know what medicine was sold in Jiang Mo's gourd.

"Let's not talk about this yet, sit~" Jiang Mo pointed to a chair next to the bookcase with a fan, signaling him to relax.

Sun Liang sat down slowly, but he was even more puzzled.

"In the eyes of the world, I am just a bastard, and you are an extremely intelligent person, why are you willing to follow me?" Jiang Mo leaned back on the chair casually and fanned his fan.

Sun Liang seemed to be rarely nervous, and arched his hand: "Courtier, loyalty to the monarch is a matter of course. ”

Jiang Mo smiled and said nothing.

"Hahaha~" Sun Liang suddenly laughed a few times and complimented: "The intelligence of the minister, I'm afraid it can't be worth the chance of His Highness." ”

"The Sun family traces back to their ancestors, it should be regarded as a branch of the Tian family, and the army master Sun Wu also developed in the Wu country, which was hostile to Qi, and Sun Bin was only seeking ambitions in the Qi country, right?" Jiang Mo has already learned from Tai Shi Gang about the Sun family's family background, "There is also the danger of the Qi country, the Xiaoxiang Pavilion incident is the fuse, why is it so coincidental?" Does no one know where the envoy is in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion? I'm puzzled. ”

"The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty clearly stipulated that prostitution was not allowed, although the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was nominally a place of entertainment, but try to avoid it, let alone in the Qi country. Your Highness, are you doubting me, or are you suspicious of the Sun family? Sun Liang's face drooped again, a little shocked, a little serious, a little nervous, and a little angry.

"How is it possible, I really treat you as a friend, so I didn't hide it and tell too many questions. I am a good horse, you give a horse, I am so wine-colored, and I will accompany you. I pretended to be a bastard and accompanied the bastard, and now it is my duty to deal with the facts. ”

Jiang Mo got up and walked to Sun Liang's side, and before he finished speaking, Sun Liang interrupted with some guilt: "I'm ashamed, the wine is really the same thing, and I really hope that His Highness will do something..."

"I want to check the golden flute, you will give me the results quickly, I have no doubt about your loyalty." Jiang Mo didn't mind, looked at him very sincerely, paused and frowned and continued: "There was also my serious illness a few years ago, what happened, why did you hide it from me?" ”

"Here..."Sun Liang looked bitter, "I really don't know the original minister..."

Jiang Mo didn't speak, just stared at Sun Liang.

Sun Liang took a long breath, approached Jiang Mo's ear and whispered: "It is rumored that an old immortal rescued His Highness, and also met you, saying that you have the appearance of the Son of Heaven and what you said in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion a few days ago, I heard that the old immortal and Doctor Xue knew each other, but even if he was killed, he probably wouldn't mention it." As far as I know, it's really not a big secret, but the speech is a little taboo, and I, as a foreign minister, say it, I am suspected of spying on the deep palace. ”

"The appearance of the Son of Heaven, marry two princesses" Jiang Mo muttered thoughtfully, but thought in his heart: I'm afraid it's the one who said my physical body, from Tai Shigang's records and contacts, I clearly feel that Sun Liang has a purpose, and maybe everything before stemmed from Jiang Mo's remarks about 'destroying Zhou' or 'conquest'. Therefore, Sun Liang didn't care about Jiang Mo's changes, but made him feel that Jiang Mo's city was extremely deep and would be an aspiring monarch. And at this moment, I really understood that the source of Sun Liang's desire to befriend Jiang Mo was the 'Son of Heaven'.

Seeing that Sun Liang was so honest, Jiang Mo continued to ask: "Don't mention this matter, let me change the question, do you think the ministers of the Qi State are loyal to the Qi State?" ”

Sun Liang was blindsided again, and he couldn't figure out what he wanted to express at all, so he could only answer sincerely: "The Kan family is a Confucian master, and they talk about loyalty and filial piety, and to some extent they are truly loyal." Tian and Bao are big families that have taken root in the Qi country for hundreds of years, and Zhou can't accommodate the huge scholar family, so they are both damaged by the Qi country, of course, the Tian family may have other intentions for their own survival or power, and they may be disloyal to the Jiang surname internally, but they are still loyal to the Qi country externally. Other clans, whether they are interested or survive, cannot be absolutely sure whether they are trusted or not. However, most of the talents selected by the imperial examination are more identified with the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they are indeed influencing the people. ”

"Slap" Jiang Mo clapped his hands, and asked very eager to seek answers: "So, in terms of economy, military, culture, and bureaucratic system, Qi State is inferior to Da Zhou?"

"Uh..." Sun Liangleng paused for a second, obviously undeniable, but still got up and retorted: "Not necessarily militarily." ”

"Is it because" Jiang Mo said his reasoning, "there are you?" ”

"And Your Highness." Sun Liang replied with a smile, he thought it was all said.

This sentence did not exceed Jiang Mo's expectations, his sunny smile gradually disappeared, and he said with a little virgin feelings: "Although I am the prince of Qi State, I don't want the people to suffer war. ”

"This is also the reason why the minister is willing to be loyal to His Highness, there will always be wars, maybe we will let the casualties be the least." Sun Liang also knew that Jiang Mo had dissuaded Tucheng back then, so he naturally answered.

"If I am not willing to start a war in my lifetime, or even strive not to fight, are you still willing to obey my arrangements and orders?" Jiang Mo finally asked what he wanted to ask, he hoped to be friends with Sun Liang, because he admired his intelligence, liked his laziness and usual casualness.

Sun Liang looked at Jiang Mo with some surprise, this sentence was obviously beyond his expectations, and he didn't know how to answer.

After a long time, Sun Liang finally read the meaning of the son: temptation and heart-to-heart.

Sun Liang flicked his sleeves, sat back in his chair with a lazy smile on his face, no longer so respectful of His Royal Highness the Prince, and said with a long breath: "I really want to be like my wife and grandfather Sun Bin, three tricks, let the first king conquer the country of Lu with only 20,000 people." Hey, it's a pity that the first king is just the right year, and the wife has already returned to the west, otherwise the two of them will have some achievements. His Royal Highness should also know that the wife was framed by his classmate Pang Juan in the Zhou State, lost his feet, and was finally rescued by the envoy of the Qi State. The Great Zhou took advantage of this to start a war, so the Qi State had the grace of protection for the Sun family, and the Sun family had a humiliating enmity against the Zhou, and His Royal Highness should not doubt the loyalty of the Sun family, whether it was fought or not. ”

Unexpectedly, although this world is completely different from the history that Jiang Mo knows, the same historical events still happened. This time, it was Jiang Mo's turn to be ashamed, and he only caught Sun Liang showing that he was belligerent and didn't care about the people, and he asked a question on the side, which would indeed chill the hearts of loyal ministers.

Jiang Mo bowed, raised the folding fan flat, and returned it to Sun Liang, "I'm sorry, I didn't doubt your loyalty, I hope to be friends with you, and I must tell you that I don't have the ambition to reign in the world." ”

Sun Liang was even more shocked, His Royal Highness the cynical Prince would actually salute his courtiers. But then he took the fan, held the prince and said unceremoniously: "Hey, I can't stand it." Just kidding, I really didn't expect His Highness to hide it deeply, and he didn't even shout Shen Zhi in the past two days, which is really uncomfortable. ”

Jiang Mo and Sun Liang immediately looked at each other and smiled, knowing that they had already made friends with each other, Jiang Mo said with confidence: "Haha, do you continue to pretend?" ”

Sun Liang also replied with a smile: "Although the minister doesn't know why His Royal Highness suddenly stopped pretending to be a gentleman recently, the minister won't ask." But at least non-henchmen can't be so smart..."

"So, I have a plan, and I need to be cautious and Lingzun to implement it." Jiang Mo inadvertently touched the bridge of his nose again, the habits of his previous life were not so easy to change, and he quickly reacted that Shenzhi was Sun Liang's word.

Sun Liang put away his smiling face and saluted respectfully, waiting for the order.

"I'm going to give you a great credit, and that's what I'm going to say next." Jiang Mo recognized Sun Liang, so he no longer doubted that this clumsy temptation made Jiang Mo nervous and worried.
