"Your Highness, do you know who else is there in addition to the scholars who went north in Qinggai Jinluo?" Yang Yi spread out the chessboard as he spoke, and took out two chess boxes.

One black and one white.

"One of them is the secret agent of Jinyiwei lurking in the territory of Beili." Shen Zhixi picked up a black chess piece and threw it on the chessboard, "The Beili Privy Council has installed a lot of fine works in my Jokhang territory over the years, Yelu Chucai has taken great pains, knowing that his limit is approaching, and he also promoted Zhao Rong to take over his class from the cold gate of the north. ”

Yang Yi did not hide his expectations for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess in his eyes: "So this battle can't be fought, we can wait, those spies who have been lurking for most of their lives can't wait." ”

Gu Yuan also said softly at this time: "They waited for dawn, they waited too long. Luozhou was ceded to Beili by Jiading and agreed to be ceded by the previous dynasty, and the territory of the ancestors could not be given to them an inch. ”

Yang Yi bowed his head and turned to Shen Zhixi again: "What does Your Highness think?" ”

Ah Yuan is right. The cold weather in Mobei is not suitable for farming, and it is impossible for farmers who move north to rely on the weather to eat, and craftsmen can eat this bowl of rice in both the north and the south. Shen Zhixi picked up a white chess piece and landed directly above the chessboard, "The craftsmen who went north are counted as one, they brought advanced handicraft manufacturing technology, and Beili began to rise." ”

Yang Yi nodded approvingly: "Shinong Gonggong, His Royal Highness didn't say anything." ”

Shen Zhixi smiled: "Then there is the businessman." A large number of merchants poured into Mobei, so that Beili and my Dazhao began to trade frequently, and at this time, it was necessary for the imperial court to open a field to trade with them. ”

As he spoke, a white piece fell.

There are no regrets.

Gu Yuan frowned, "I still don't understand one thing, sir, why did you want to promote Qinggai's entry into Luo in the first place?" ”

It's normal for Yao Maniac to do this kind of thing, but what is surprising is that Yang Yi is also stirring up trouble in it?

Yang Yi laughed slowly: "Shinong Gonggong, do you think about it yourself, which one is left that you haven't expanded?" ”

Gu Yuan also counted in his heart, and the teacher must have been trying to promote the scholars to move north.

"What the scholars brought with them is the culture and customs of our Central Plains, and their next generation is the seed of reading in Beili." Yang Yi picked up a white chess piece and smashed it on the chessboard, "Qinggai into Luo brought the seeds of reading to Beili, and also let the cultural customs of the Central Plains penetrate the entire Beili, and in a few decades, they will be slowly assimilated by us, and we will choose an appropriate time to add to the fire, and the huge Beili can be self-defeating." ”

"Sir, you mean gradual cannibalization?" Gu Yuan also understood when he heard this, "Beili took advantage of it for a while, but lost a great opportunity to win the Central Plains, and it will definitely be assimilated by us in the future!" At that time, the Qin State adopted the strategy of gradual encroachment, and it took a hundred years to exhaust the strength of the six countries, and finally was able to unify the six countries within ten years! ”

Seeing that Gu Yuan became more and more excited, the corners of Shen Zhixi's lips couldn't help but smile lightly: "Mr. is a person who seeks the country, and he is different from those of us. ”

Yang Yi shook his head with a serious expression: "Your Highness, it is necessary for the old minister to correct a fallacy you just said. ”

"There are talented people from generation to generation, and they have led the way for hundreds of years."

"Our generation is already half cut into the ground, and I just hope that you will take over my class and continue to do this."

One game of chess, three generations, fifty years.

This turmoil is brewing under the calm and calm situation on the surface, and it seems that this crumbling country can be tossed to a thousand holes at any time.

Mr. Lingjun Zhang Wan went south to Yunnan and Tibet, and Zhao Rong, a bachelor in Tsing Yi, went to Beiliang in person.

Behind these layouts, there is more or less the shadow of a person.

Yelu Chucai.

Take the world as a chess game and the world as a chess piece.

Except for the Yao madman who couldn't escape from the world, there were only two people in the world.

One of them has been two emperors of the imperial court for four generations, and Leng Jiashan once said before his death, "the first person in the Central Plains in three hundred years, Yang Qingxi in Western Shu".

The other person assisted the first emperor of the north to achieve hegemony, and was crowned the king of Liaodong plus Jiuxi, and the first privy envoy of the Privy Council in the north, only one step away from the Mobei co-lord Tian Khan.

The irreversible friends in the "Four Friends of Xingtan" back then.

The source of "The Broken Sleeve Military Division Can Seek the Country" in the play.

The former was Yang Yi, the teacher of Emperor Yong, and the latter left Prime Minister Yelu Chucai in the north.

Now, this game of chess, which has been played for 50 years, is about to come to an end.

But before the end, there is still one more opportunity.

Li Xuanyi's dispatch of troops to Liaodong is the best opportunity.

——

At the same time, Shen Jun, the prince of the king of Chu, met Tang Xiujin, who had recently lived in seclusion, in the Yishui Courtyard.

"I heard that Lord Tang is going to give this son a white hat?" Shen Jun asked straight to the point.

Tang Xiujin was also unambiguous, and nodded: "Yes." ”

Shen Jun slammed his wine glass: "Tang Xiujin, if you dare to make a mistake, this son can ask for your head today!" ”

Tang Xiujin spread his hands: "His Royal Highness the Prince is at will." ”

This sentence made Shen Jun angry.

Tang Xiujin naturally knew why this sentence was so stimulating to Shen Jun.

Now that the king of Chu is seriously ill and in a very bad situation, he is still fanning the flames at this time.

But that's what he wants.

Tang Xiujin was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "His Royal Highness the Prince knows that this white hat does not have only one meaning. I am willing to dare to analyze it for His Highness. ”

"Now everyone knows that the king of Chu who is far away in Jingzhou is terminally ill, and if the prince dies, you will be the head of Chu Zong." Tang Xiujin smiled lightly, "Please also ask Your Highness to think about it, what is the word for Wang Shangbai?" ”

Shen Jun's face changed suddenly, and he looked at him in disbelief.

"Do you want to ...... Rebel? ”

"Your Highness, don't you think that the minister is a chaotic minister and a thief?" Tang Xiujin smiled coldly, "The one who steals the hook is punished, the one who steals the country is the Hou, it has been like this since ancient times, and now you don't want to fight, and those who speculate will also stand on your side." ”

"You're forcing me to ......," Shen Jun said in a trembling voice, "Okay, okay, you're very bold...... Shen Ying was killed by you? ”

Tang Xiujin frowned, "How could Your Highness see that Shen Ying's death is related to me?" ”

Shen Jun sneered: "Otherwise? Do you think I'll trust you as unconditionally as he does? ”

This reminded Tang Xiujin.

Shen Ying is a fool who is used by others but doesn't know it, Shen Jun is not.

He and Shen Ying are different from each other in their bones.

Shen Ying only needs to find out his weakness, and it is still very easy to grasp.

But Shen Jun is a person who does things without leakage, and there are almost no dead points.

It's not easy to grab his handle.

After Shen Jun left, Tang Xiujin summoned Yu Qing and instructed in a low voice: "Go and inquire about the person who is pleasing to the prince of Chu." ”

Yu Qing was slightly stunned, and said with some uncertainty: "The person who is happy? ”

Tang Xiujin nodded: "The one who pleases the heart." ”

In Xuanhua Palace, Shen Zhixi was worried about another matter.

"Concubine Hu plans to return to the palace, she should come back for my marriage with Ah Heng."

Gu Yuan on the side was silent.

Speaking of which, Concubine Hu was in charge of the harem when she was the imperial concubine.

Empress Xiaoxian died early, and Shen Yuan fought in the south and north to pacify the world, and he didn't have enough energy to take care of the affairs of the harem.

So Hu Guifei naturally became the master of the harem, and in the more than ten years after the Zhenyuan Dynasty, Hu Guifei did not give birth to a son and a half daughter for Shen Yuan.

Therefore, after the death of Emperor Zhenyuan, the Hu family, who was already a concubine, invited himself to Changling to guard the tomb of Shen Yuan for three years.

Now that the three-year period has arrived, Concubine Hu invited herself back to the palace.

Shen Zhixi knew very well that there were only two outcomes for this woman to return to the center of the whirlpool of power.

One is that she and many others are thrown out of the whirlpool, and the other is that she is gaining a foothold in the whirlpool.

Either way, Shen Zhixi will be affected by the whirlpool.

She is like a boat caught in the wind and waves, drifting with the current.

Shen Zhixi suddenly asked, "How many people know about the two of us having a personal relationship?" ”

Gu Yuan counted with his fingers and said, "There won't be more than ten people." ”

Shen Zhixi shook her head: "It should be more." ”

Gu Yuan was a little curious: "It's so decent, why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”

"I'm wondering, what if Concubine Hu knows that the two of us have a relationship in private......"

"Wouldn't that be better?" Gu Yuan was puzzled.

Shen Zhixi said speechlessly: "But that's Concubine Hu, she has never dealt with me very well, and she is nominally my elder, what if she knows about my private relationship with you and makes an obstacle from it?" ”

Gu Yuan thought about it seriously: "Then if I kill her, the dead will never speak." ”

Shen Zhixi knocked his head lightly: "Do you think this is on the battlefield, you can kill whoever you want?" It's all this time, please don't make fun of me, okay? ”

Gu Yuan gently touched her sideburns, as if comforting the fried kitten: "It's okay, I said before, I will definitely take care of your marriage." ”

Shen Zhixi felt comforted and smiled softly.

The sea is stormy, and with him by her side as a lighthouse, she is also much more relieved.

At least win or lose, she still has him.
