The meaning of Gongsun Hong's words is to respect Ouyang Mingli very much, and he has put Ouyang Mingli in a very high position.

Ou Yangmingli understood that he couldn't be perfunctory this time, that would show that he was disrespectful to the emperor. However, he really didn't want to participate in the major event of the change of the throne of the Dawn Empire, which would lose his head if he was not careful. He didn't want to push the Ouyang family into a place of no return.

Ouyang Heng was naturally very aware of this, he was anxiously waiting for Ouyang Mingli's answer, but he didn't dare to interject rashly.

Murong Ye was also extremely nervous, he quietly rubbed the Ring of the Traverser with his fingers, and was always ready to take out the three-pointed two-edged spear and take Ou Yangmingli out of the encirclement when the situation got out of control. As for exposing the magic of the Traveler's Ring, it was naturally nothing compared to Ou Yangmingli and his safety.

Ouyang Mingli pondered for a moment and said lightly: "Mingli is sincere to the sword and does not understand the way to govern the world. If His Majesty asks which prince and grandson have better martial arts talents, Ming Li can still dare to say one, two, three. However, His Majesty asked who had the ability to rule the world, and Mingli really couldn't answer, so he asked His Majesty to punish him!"

Ouyang Heng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Although Ou Yangmingli still did not give a definite answer, he no longer had a perfunctory attitude before, but said his true opinion on a case-by-case basis.

"Haha, it's just an uncle and nephew's chatter, how can I punish him. ”

Gongsun Hong smiled indifferently, then straightened up, and said in a deep voice: "Although the Dawn Empire seems to be one of the three empires with infinite scenery to the outside world, there are two major empires eyeing each other, and the position of the prince has not yet been determined. What I just said about looking forward to the virtuous nephew entering the court as an official is really a heartfelt statement, and the virtuous nephew can think about it. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Ou Yangmingli just responded, and didn't answer Gongsun Hong's words at all.

Seeing Ouyang Mingli's move, Gongsun Hong knew that he really didn't have the idea of becoming an official in the court, and couldn't help sighing, he packed up his mood and changed his mind. "Nephew Ouyang Xian, how do you think Dawn should deal with the other two imperial alliances?"

Ou Yangmingli pondered for a moment, but still gave an answer. "Back to Your Majesty, Mingli feels that Dawn just needs to wait and see what happens, and recuperate. ”

Gongsun Hong smiled: "I would like to hear about it!"

In fact, what Ou Yangmingli said was exactly what Gongsun Hong was doing now, but Gongsun Hong still wanted to hear Ouyang Mingli's detailed opinions. He said that he particularly liked Ou Yangmingli, which was exactly what he really thought.

Ouyang Mingli didn't want to say more about it, but Gongsun Hong chased him and asked, and he couldn't ignore it, so he had to tell his opinion truthfully.

"Your Majesty Mingjian, Mingli thinks that as long as the Tibetan Arsenal stands tall and the Eastern Empire and the White Eagle Empire Alliance intend to divide the Dongzhou Continent, its chance of success will not exceed one percent. Therefore, it is not appropriate for Chenxi to expand arbitrarily at present, as long as he waits for the Tibetan soldiers to mediate immediately. ”

The Tibetan Pavilion has a special status, although it will not easily interfere in the situation of the countries on the Dongzhou Continent if it is beyond the material, but when there is a war that engulfs the entire continent, the Tibetan Soldier Pavilion, which boasts that it wants to maintain the stability of the Dongzhou Continent, will definitely come forward to quell the war.

Moreover, there is a precedent for this!

The real appearance of the Tibetan Pavilion in the eyes of the world is because, thousands of years ago, the war that affected the entire Dongzhou Continent lasted for decades, and all living beings were miserable, so the military envoys before the Tibetan Pavilion appeared blatantly and ended the war with thunderous means.

Over the past thousand years, the Tibetan Arsenal has made a total of four or five attacks, and each time it has easily subdued the two countries that started the war with force, bringing peace to the Dongzhou Continent for hundreds of years. Every time, it also made the warriors of the Dongzhou Continent aware of the horror of the Hidden Arsenal.

Although Murong Ye didn't know much about the past of the Hidden Soldier Pavilion, he still felt that Ouyang Mingli's words were taken for granted.

As his understanding of the Martial Saint Realm deepened, Murong Ye felt more and more that it was not so easy for a country to rule over the entire Dongzhou Continent. Unless, which country has a peak powerhouse in the late stage of the Martial Saint like the Tibetan Soldier Pavilion Envoy.

However, judging from the martial artist level of the Dongzhou Continent, it is not so easy for the late stage of the Martial Saint to appear. Otherwise, Si Yijian would not have been able to stay in the early stage of the Martial Saint realm for decades, and he would not be able to advance an inch.

In the past thousand years on the Dongzhou Continent, except for the Tibetan Arsenal Envoys, there have never been any martial artists in the late stage of the Martial Saint. Even in the middle stage of the Martial Saint, there were only less than ten people.

From this, it is not difficult to see that it is no accident that the Tibetan Arsenal Pavilion, which has the late stage of the Martial Saint envoy, has become a transcendent force in the Dongzhou Continent.

Gongsun Hong's gaze swept over the three people below, and there was an inexplicable faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Some ministers have written to suggest that Dawn should form an alliance with other principalities to curb the alliance between the East and the White Eagle Empire. What does Ouyang Xian's nephew think?"

Ou Yangmingli thought for a moment and replied, "Back to Your Majesty, Mingli feels that this matter is inappropriate. ”

Gongsun Hong's interest became stronger and stronger, and he asked, "What's the explanation?"

Ou Yangmingli let go, no longer shirked, and organized a language to talk eloquently.

"Back to Your Majesty, the countries captured by the alliance of the two empires are all principalities around the two empires, located in the west of the Dongzhou continent. If Dawn in the east were to ally with these principalities, it would not be able to achieve the strategic purpose of helping each other. And if Dawn allies with other surrounding principalities, it will not have much to curb the offensive of the two imperial alliances. On the contrary, this move may also stimulate the alliance of the two empires, pulling Dawn into the vortex of war in advance, and there is a high chance that it will trigger a full-scale war that will engulf the entire continent. Therefore, Mingli feels that this move is inappropriate!"

Gongsun Hong nodded approvingly, all of Ou Yangmingli's views coincided with him, and he regretted more and more that Ou Yangmingli was unwilling to enter the court as an official to help him.

Gongsun Hong sighed and said a little lonely: "What Ouyang Xian's nephew said is reasonable, but it's a pity that there are few people in the Manchu Dynasty who can see it as thoroughly as Ouyang Xian's nephew." Many ministers of civil and military affairs are secretly talking about it, and they feel that it is a mediocre move for me not to expand as aggressively as the other two empires, and not to join with other countries. Therefore, I deliberately released the idea of wanting to establish a prince......"

Gongsun Hong's last sentence didn't seem to be next to the previous words at all, but Murong Ye and the three of them instantly understood the deep meaning of Gongsun Hong's words.

Gongsun Hong chose this time to release the rumor that he wanted to establish a prince, first, he really wanted to observe the response of the princes and grandsons to this matter, so as to select the person with good character and intelligence to be the prince; second, he wanted to use the matter of establishing a prince to distract the attention of the Manchu civil and military forces, so as to suppress those voices advocating expansion or alliance.

It's a win-win!

Murong Ye, who lowered his head and listened, couldn't help but sigh, it was really difficult to be an emperor. He was very glad that he was reincarnated in Murong Mansion and became the son of Murong, not to which royal family he was reincarnated to become the prince and grandson.

Gongsun Hong discussed with Ouyang Mingli in front of him the intention of the alliance between the Eastern Empire and the White Eagle Empire, although Murong Ye guessed seventy-seven eighty-eight. But he didn't expect that Gongsun Hong would talk about the change of the throne of the Dawn Empire without any scruples.

What Gongsun Hong talked about, normally speaking, was not something that Murong Ye, a person from a neighboring country, could listen to. However, even though Murong Ye really wanted to retire to the palace now, he knew that it was not appropriate to speak at this time.

Ouyang Heng listened with his head down like Murong Ye throughout the whole process, and the conversation between Gongsun Hong and Ouyang Mingli made his mind a little complicated.

Ouyang Heng was pleased with Ou Yangmingli's growth, and he was also pleased with Gongsun Hong's trust in him and Ouyang Mingli, but he was afraid that Ou Yangmingli would dislike Gongsun Hong because of which words, which would cause unnecessary trouble for the Ouyang family.

Gongsun Hong glanced at Ouyang Heng's hand at this time, and said with a little self-deprecation: "The fourth child can be good at literature and martial arts, but unfortunately he is a little unbreathable. Alas, it's no wonder that he's going to be able to hold his breath in such a situation?"

Murong Ye and the three of them all lowered their heads and did not respond, and it was not appropriate for any of them to take this topic.

Gongsun Hong glanced at Murong Ye and the three of them again, his face showed a trace of fatigue, and he waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, everyone retreat!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Murong Ye and the three of them all felt light, bowed and bowed and retreated outside the main hall.

Just when the three of them came to the gate of the hall, Gongsun Hong suddenly sighed softly. "Alas, when will the people of the empire be able to live a carefree life without war!"

Although Gongsun Hong's voice was very small, it couldn't escape the ears of Murong Ye and the others.

Murong Ye paused when he heard this, and raised his head slightly to look in the direction of Ou Yangmingli, just in time to meet the meaningful gaze that Ou Yangmingli cast.

Murong Ye secretly said in his heart, "Sure enough", when Gongsun Hong was talking about the situation on the mainland in front of him, he guessed that Gongsun Hong wanted to convey some information to the Eastern Empire through him. Now that he heard Gongsun Hong's special emotion, his guess was suddenly confirmed.

Ouyang Mingli guessed this before he looked at Murong Ye, he wanted to see if Murong Ye understood this. If Murong Ye didn't understand, he would have to mention it.

Royal Step by Step is calculated!

If it is said that as a courtier, as long as he has combat power or talent, he can mix well in the officialdom, but those who are born into the royal family must rely on calculations to survive.

And yes, one wrong step will never recover.

Murong Ye and the three of them returned the same way, and soon came to the outside of the palace to join Wang Teng and the others.

When Wang Teng saw Murong Ye return safely, his tense heartstrings loosened slightly, but he didn't leave Dawn City for a while, so he didn't dare to be completely relieved for a while. No one knows if anything will happen in the future, after all, the emperor's mind is the most difficult to guess.

There is a way, a companion is like a tiger!

"Take care!"

After Ouyang Mingli said this to Ouyang Heng lightly, he directly got on the horse and left.

Murong Ye and Han Yuli glanced at each other and hurriedly followed, followed by Wang Teng and the others. The group of them swarmed out of the city.

Ouyang Heng quietly looked at Ouyang Mingli's distant figure, motionless, like a sculpture.

It wasn't until he couldn't see Ouyang Mingli's figure at all that Ouyang Heng sighed deeply, and then entered the palace again.

What Ouyang Heng didn't tell Ouyang Mingli was that Gongsun Hong had already handed over the matter of testing the prince and grandson to him.

Ouyang Mingli can refuse to enter the court as an official, or he can not answer Gongsun Hong's question about the matter of establishing a prince, but Ouyang Heng is duty-bound to Gongsun Hong's orders.

Because Ouyang Heng is the first powerful minister of the Dawn Empire, and he is also the first celebrity in front of Emperor Gongsun Hong. Although Ouyang Heng seemed very easy-going in front of Ouyang Mingli, Murong Ye and others, he had a great reputation in the court.

Not to mention that the ordinary civil and military officials were silent when they saw Ouyang Heng, even the princes, grandsons and harem concubines had to be afraid of Ouyang Heng first.

Ouyang Heng's prestige, power, loyalty, skill, and his identity as Ou Yangmingli's father made him the best choice to help Gongsun Hong choose the prince.

Dawn City is about to usher in a bloody storm!
