In this palace, the status and power of the Dachang Dynasty can be said to be the two highest people, and in the hearts of the world, they should discuss some extremely confidential and important matters with each other.

To everyone's surprise, every conversation between the two was as if it was a joke, and it was not even as solemn as the courtiers entering the palace to report a trivial matter.

His Majesty the Emperor glanced at the eldest prince with a smile and asked jokingly, "Big brother, how about the two of us get to know each other?"

The father-in-law behind him suddenly seemed to be a great enemy, since they said that these were the two of them, then if he heard the conversation between the two, he would definitely not be able to escape a dead word, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and reported: "Qi, Your Majesty, do you want the slave to retire first?"

The emperor glanced back, suddenly realized, waved his hand, and said, "Are you still here? ”

As if the father-in-law had been amnestied, he hurriedly trotted away with broken steps, not daring to make the slightest sound halfway.

The emperor looked at the eldest prince again, and then said: "Now it's just the two of us, don't worry, even if you and I know something about each other, it's useless." ”

"If it's useless, why does Your Majesty want to talk about it?"

"Sort of, curious, aren't you curious?"

The eldest prince Chunqiu nodded slightly, he was curious about how the emperor standing opposite him would get to the bottom of it.

Last fall, the two seemed to have had such a conversation, but that conversation ended with the eldest prince walking out of the palace in the spring and autumn, and each did not say what the other wanted to ask.

And this time, Chunqiu seemed to be really curious about what the other party was going to say.

So he opened his mouth and asked, "I wonder how Your Majesty wants to get to the bottom of it?"

The emperor raised a hand and rubbed his drooping eyelids, looked out of the hall and said, "Did you do that thing?"

Hearing this, Chunqiu couldn't help but laugh and shook his head slightly, "I don't know if Your Majesty will admit this kind of thing?"

I thought it was about the first emperor, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of problem, and the eldest prince was naturally a little disappointed.

The emperor also smiled, shook his head and said, "How is it possible, it will be dead." ”

"Your Majesty's words are serious, but since even Your Majesty said such things, the minister naturally didn't dare to admit it. ”

If you don't dare to admit it, I dare to admit it?

No matter who committed the assassination, everyone dared not admit it, which shows that it is even more difficult to find out the truth of this case, but it is not that difficult.

"But if it wasn't for you and me, who would it be?" said His Majesty the Emperor with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and pondered with the meaning of thought.

The eldest prince Chunqiu frowned slightly, and also sighed: "It depends on who Your Majesty wants to be." ”

This has a heart-wrenching meaning, what do you want to think about who it is, I think that person was made by you, will anyone believe it?

However, His Majesty the Emperor was not annoyed, and even couldn't help laughing again, looking at the eldest prince and asking, "What if the person I think of, the eldest brother is unwilling?"

The eldest prince Chunqiu looked at him, a smile suddenly disappeared in his eyes, and he said indifferently: "Then Your Majesty doesn't have to think about it anymore." ”

The emperor was slightly stunned, couldn't help but take half a step back, then stabilized his mind, nodded slightly, and said, "At that moment, I seemed to see the prince sitting in the East Palace again. ”

The eldest prince wrote lightly: "Your Majesty is too worried, the East Palace is still there, but there has never been a prince to guard it." ”

The Emperor raised his hand again, rubbed his brows lightly, and muttered, "You should know what I'm going to do next." ”

The eldest prince also replied, "Your Majesty should also know what I will do next." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and they both kept their mouths shut, and there was no need to say anything about what they knew well.

The imperial historian Cui Ren went to the eldest prince's mansion late at night, not to suspect the eldest prince, as Cui Ren himself said, just to see the attitude of the eldest prince, and the attitude he wanted was to once again confirm what His Majesty the Emperor said.

The eldest prince naturally knew these things, so when Cui Ren left the prince's mansion, the eldest prince then went to the old street, visited a person, and received a calligraphy.

It seems that these things are trivial and insignificant, but only these two people know that the layout game that the two sides have started since last year has now come to an end, and this is exactly what the two are doing now.

The two sides have already fought for what they can fight for each other, and the purpose of fighting is to supplement their own forces, and some methods are useful, and some are naturally useless.

For these things, the two of them stopped at the point, and His Majesty the Emperor suddenly remembered something and said: "The conditions for sending troops have been negotiated, I don't know how the eldest brother thinks the distribution of the spoils of war should be discussed?"

The eldest prince didn't think about it carefully, and blurted out: "The minister thinks that the trophies of our army are enough as long as war horses and grain and grass." ”

The emperor asked rhetorically: "The war horses of Western Chu are indeed extremely precious trophies, but as long as the war horses and grain and grass, what about the land and money?"

"The land Chu State will not let it, and the Qian State will not let it either, besides, those things don't mean much to our dynasty. ”

The emperor nodded slightly, and then retorted and smiled: "The eldest brother is really too kind, thinking about things and always thinking about whether other countries will let it or not, why don't you think about whether the sergeant of our dynasty will let it?"

The eldest prince Chunqiu shook his head, and did not talk about this issue anymore, but said with some caution: "I need to remind Your Majesty one thing in advance, this aid to Qi may be fraudulent, and it is impossible for Qingyun County to give taxes to Qi in the next ten years." ”

The emperor nodded slightly in agreement, and said: "Qingyun County's ten-year tax revenue is not easy to give to any country, I haven't thought about what the eldest brother is considering, but I bet that Jiang Shui'er is willing to give Qingyun County's tax for one person, not for any fraud." ”

"The number one master of Qi country, Qi Yunqing?"

"Qi Yunqing is just like his name, he always looks at things so lightly. It is impossible for such a person to be used by the country, and Qingyun County is his territory, and at this time, Jiang Shui'er gave me ten years of taxes to Qingyun County, which undoubtedly touched his scales. His Majesty the Emperor put his hands behind his back and spoke.

The clouds are light and the wind is light, such as standing outside the world and looking at some things that happen in this world, such people can only be used to deter other countries, like the two presidents of the Dachang Dynasty, even if they are at war with other countries, it is impossible for these two people to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

However, handing over the ten years of taxes from Qingyun County to others is equivalent to the Dachang Dynasty being forced to send all the students trained and educated by the Spirit Academy to other countries to contribute.

Indeed, as His Majesty the Emperor said, it would touch Qi Yunqing's scales, no matter how extraordinary he was, he would not tolerate these things.

But they are all from the same country, and Jiang Shui'er, the king of Qi, is also helpless, after all, you don't serve the country at the head of the national war, and I take the tax revenue of Qingyun County to ask for help from other countries, why do you oppose or accuse me?

Therefore, the anger of Qi Yunqing and Qingyun County will not be vented on Qi State, but will be used to fight against foreign enemies.

The eldest prince Chunqiu was puzzled: "Could it be that this Qingyun County and Qi Yunqing will really go to the battlefield?"

Letting a great cultivator go to the battlefield, not only the Qi country, but this is a headache for every country.

Every great cultivator is an extremely powerful force, but after years of cultivation, such a person usually ignores the world, and some of the most hated by the king is that he not only ignores the world, but even looks down on it.

Ignoring the world is that no matter who you want to fight on the expedition, it has nothing to do with me, I just live my own life, but people take the initiative to find trouble and disrupt my life on the city gate, I will still take action.

But if you look down on the world, you can fight casually, let your war horse gallop, shout and kill, I won't even feel a trace of noise.

Who wins and who loses, how many people have died, and how many people have died in front of the avenue they are pursuing, which is extremely stable after years of cultivation, is not worth mentioning, and even whether the country is lost or not is just a change of king in the palace, a change of era and country name.

They never care about the kings and the names of the years and the names of the countries, and they have nothing to do with them.

And Qi Yunqing, as the strongest person in Qi State, obviously belongs to the kind of person who looks down on the world, which makes Qi Guo have a headache.

From this point of view, Jiang Shui'er, the king of Qi, used the taxes of Qingyun County for ten years to force Qi Yunqing to force Qi Yunqing, and naturally there was enough reason.

His Majesty the Emperor sighed and said, "Your Royal Highness, the head of the national war, if there is such a day in my dynasty, will you hold a sword to resist the enemy?"

To let a person like Qi Yunqing go to the battlefield, what is needed is to give him a reason to go to the battlefield, the reason why the Qi State is included in the territory of the Chu State is not enough, what is the Qi State and the Chu State, it is nothing more than a change of name, does the heavy casualties in the Qi State have anything to do with me?

And what about Qingyun County, where you are located?

That's enough, but you can't just tell him with your mouth.

Because people like this have always been conceited, you tell him that the army of people has entered your Qingyun County and beat you hard, and you don't even know what your surname is, this kind of thing people don't care about you at all, which powerful cultivator doesn't hold me invincible, what do you think at will?

Use those armies to suppress him, and he will even feel that you look down on him.

And when the day really came he knew that he would not be able to turn the tide alone, it was already too late.

At this time, Jiang Shui'er, the king of Qi, did not wait for that day, and gave away the ten years of taxes of Qingyun County in advance, so it was equivalent to advancing that day, but it was not to the point of being irretrievable that the army was pressing.

It can be seen that whether it is the State of Qi or the State of Chu, they all have a love-hate relationship for those top combat powers.

What I love is that you are so strong that you can help me stabilize my regime and go into battle to kill the enemy. What I hate is that you are so strong, why don't you help me stabilize the regime and go into battle to kill the enemy?

Why should I...

......

Returning to the topic just now, the eldest prince Chunqiu shook his head and replied directly without hesitation: "I won't." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, sighed lightly, and asked puzzledly: "Why? Could it be that the eldest brother is afraid of death?"

The eldest prince Chunqiu smiled and agreed: "No one is not afraid of death, and I am naturally afraid of death." However, the royal drive is something that His Majesty has to do, so naturally it is not my turn. ”

His Majesty the Emperor was also unabashed, and replied: "I won't either." ”

"Oh?

"Because there's still you, I'll let you go. ”

Good fellow, the emperor, you should send me to death, what seems to be extremely unreasonable is quite reasonable.
