The surroundings seemed to fall silent for a moment.

The bearded man holding his head froze in place, and said in a lost voice, "No, father, you have promised to let your son be a colt last night, how can you regret it?" ”

"Shut up!"

Wen Yuli gave him a broom on the head, looking like he hated iron but not steel.

Wen Chen bowed down and clenched his fists, "Father, the sons also feel that it is inappropriate, since the sons have been given the title of His Majesty, there is no reason for them to be insatiable, and they still want to covet the position of the horse!" ”

"Besides, even if the retainer is willing, Princess Liyang may not dare to disobey His Majesty's will, and I am afraid that this matter will be difficult to do!"

"You don't have to worry about this!"

Wen Yuli waved his big hand, "The original intention of the saint is to use the princess to make peace with my Wen family, in exchange for the soldiers and horses in the hands of the king, as long as he hands over what he asks, the saint will not care about these small things!" ”

He saw very clearly that the reason why Emperor Jingren was unwilling to marry his daughter to Wen Chen was because he expected Wen Chen to be a victim in the battle between Dasheng and the three southeastern states.

Originally, Wen Yuli also acquiesced to this, but now that Wen Chen can bring him enough benefits, he seems to be doing things decently at present, holding a Tiance general, and he can also harvest tens of millions of taels of silver every year, which is much more cost-effective than his own army of 300,000!

After all, as long as there are enough silver taels in hand, there will be no shortage of people in the three southeastern states who regard wealth as their life.

If there are no soldiers, they can be re-recruited, as long as the elite can be retained, the foundation of the three southeastern states will not be shaken!

"This ......"

Wen Chen acted as a reason, "Father, I'm afraid that the princess won't buy it!" ”

"Don't buy it?" Wen Yuli snorted, "This is Lincheng, not Tianjing!" ”

"She doesn't buy it, this king has a way to make her comply!"

"Father is saying...... With strong? Wen Chen was surprised.

Wen Yuli seemed to feel that his words were a bit excessive, and he coughed twice deliberately, "It's up to people, this king can secretly assist in these things, but it's always you who do it!" ”

Then he whispered in Wen Chen's ear, "In the past few days, you will first test the bottom line of the princess, and it is best to take it directly, and all the blame will be borne by your father!" ”

A hint of banter flashed in Wen Chen's eyes, cheap Lao Tzu is really not a thing!

Don't forget to grab your pigtails at any time!

However, he still said with a happy expression, "Thank you, father!" ”

"In order to make it easier for the sons to act, I also ask my father to remove the subordinates from the princess's residence and let the sons send their own people over!"

The corners of Wen Yu's mouth were slightly hooked, and he was secretly proud in his heart, but he didn't know that his conspiracy and tricks had already fallen into the hands of the other party!

"Don't worry, this kind of thing will be handled by this king."

"But you can't go too far, don't force the princess to death!"

"Erchen understands!"

At night, in the annex where the princess lives.

"Fuck off! How dare you do anything to Hongu?! ”

"Be bold and gentle, believe it or not, this palace asked for your dog's life?!"

In the room, Li Yang held an apple in one hand and nibbled on it, shouting in a tone of anger and deplorable, and from time to time throwing two flowers into the yard.

In order to make Wen Chen bully himself, to show the spies hiding in the shadows outside.

On the other side, Wen Chen and Shi Shi sat on both sides of the square table, looking at a map on it and whispering.

"The twelve cities rewarded by the emperor are all located in the south......" Wen Chen frowned slightly.

Yizhou is a very large area, shaped like a slender strip, located in the southwest of Kyushu, the upper part is close to the Sizhou of Dasheng, and the lower part is bordered by the warm and detached Jingzhou and Jiaozhou.

The northernmost part of the twelve cities rewarded by Emperor Jingren is exactly at the same level as the border of the junction line of the other two territories, and it happens to use these twelve cities to divide the dozen or so cities north of Yizhou.

"The emperor is asking me to resist my father on my behalf, infiltrate the northern part of Yizhou by myself, and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman......"

Graphite sneered.

"Your Majesty is good at playing with power, and it is not surprising that he has made this decision."

Wen Chen raised his eyes slightly, "Then why does the eldest brother still want me to occupy the twelve cities of Yizhou and not return them to the Holy Lord?" ”

"Alas......"

The old man sighed, "It is precisely that Your Majesty is too scheming, listening to the eunuchs, but forgetting the original intention, if Wen Yuli is weak, Your Majesty will have no scruples, and devote himself to the evil path of alchemy and immortality, the eunuchs are in power, and Kyushu will be chaotic again!" ”

"So, the old man wants to cultivate an enemy for His Majesty!"

"An enemy who has no ambitions, but can hold him down!"

Wen Chen touched his chin, Emperor Jingren is alchemy?

It seems that in the history I have studied, many emperors who are greedy for power will be obsessed with the art of immortality, in order to control the world firmly in their own hands for thousands of generations.

"Didn't the eldest brother persuade Your Majesty?" Wen Chen smiled and asked, "Haven't you been a Taoist priest for ten years, how can you not know that the method of immortality is impossible to achieve?" ”

Graphite glanced at him, "The reason why the old man has been reused recently is not because the old man is deeply appreciated by His Majesty, but because your father is not honest and needs someone to watch him!" ”

To put it bluntly, Emperor Jingren did not listen to persuasion and insisted on going his own way.

"This year, disasters have occurred frequently in various places, floods in the three cities of Yanzhou, and drought in seven cities and twelve counties in Sizhou, Your Majesty is vaguely dealing with the excerpts of the disaster relief silver from all over the country, and at the same time transferring three million taels of silver from the treasury to buy Dancai, the old man is really helpless, so he asks for ...... on your head."

"Isn't this a faint king......" Wen Chen looked weird, and after a long time, Lao Yin Bi asked for silver from himself in addition to the little things on the surface!

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Graphite's face was solemn, "Your Majesty just listened to the slander for the time being and made the wrong decision, and when he understands, he will still be my Dasheng Mingjun!" ”

Wen Chen smiled helplessly, how old is the emperor? The rest of the pursuit in this life is estimated to be only alchemy, how can there be a day when you will understand?

He is a good big brother, he is bold enough, his heart is careful enough, and he is cheap enough, but he is too conservative.

However, looking at his current behavior, this weakness is not impossible to make up.

"Oak Yang baby!" Wen Chen shouted loudly.

"Hey!"

The princess who threw the vase not far away said yes sweetly.

Hearing the blatant show of affection between the two, the red sleeves at the door rolled their eyes and turned their heads disdainfully.

"If you are made emperor, is it important to have the lives of millions of people, or is it important to let yourself live for a few hundred more years?" Wen Chen asked.

Li Yang pursed his lips, "How can mortals live for hundreds of years?" Of course, the lives of the people are important! ”

Although it was strange how Mr. Mo hooked up with Wen Chen here, she still always regarded the old man as her own, and she didn't have too many scruples about talking.

"Okay, it's none of your business, keep throwing!"

Wen Chen waved his hand and lowered his head, "Did you hear it, Your Majesty didn't understand, he didn't want to understand, the princess understood the truth, why didn't he understand?" ”

"It's just that someone gave him hope, so that when he was old, he saw the possibility of immortality, so he had a fluke mentality and insisted on alchemy!"

Graphite wrinkled his nose, "You mean, the old man has lived too long?" ”

"But the old man has lived for so long with his ability, and he hasn't taken any panacea!"

Wen Chen spread his hands, "The poor rely on mutation, the rich rely on technology, big brother, you yourself have mutated, Your Majesty, as the king of a country, can you be the last of others?" ”

"That old man is going to die now, and his thoughts are broken?"
