Huang Yuanwu was not surprised, the reason why Huang Zhengchu let himself come here was to say this. And I came here to determine some things, some things that are likely to determine the future development of the East Palace.

Huang Yuanwu didn't speak, he waited for Huang Zhengchu to continue, waiting for him to say what he wanted.

Huang Zhengchu looked at Huang Yuanwu, and after a while, he asked, "Don't you have any reaction?"

"What kind of reaction do you want?" Huang Yuanwu replied lightly, "Do you want to kill you with the knife now?" As he spoke, Huang Yuanwu pointed to the dragon chair that Huang Zhengchu was doing now, and said, "You have already made your attitude clear, you want to do the emperor's business, I'm afraid that the children of the empire now know about it, and you want to surprise me?"

"You're no ordinary child. Huang Zhengchu narrowed his eyes, looked at this Huang Yuanwu, and said: "You are the ruler of the Eastern Wangfu of the Qitian Empire, you have hundreds of thousands of troops, rule twenty cities, millions of people, sufficient grain and grass, and complete silver, your attitude can determine whether I can be the emperor or not." ”

Having said this, there was already a feeling of tension, and the entire hall was silent, and all the generals of the Northern Palace, looking straight at Huang Yuanwu, waiting for his reply, or his attitude.

Indeed, the location of the East Prince's Mansion is delicate now.

The four major border palaces of the Qitian Empire have now gone to two of them, the main force of the Southern Wangfu was eliminated by Huang Zhengchu, and the capture of the Southern Emperor Liangping has existed in name only. The Western Emperor Chengbi was defeated and retreated, the main force did not exist in ten, and the Western Regions was bitterly cold, and this defeat, Huang Chengbi no longer had the possibility of winning the imperial capital. And the standing armies of all the provinces of Qitian are all watching, each with a ghost, which is mixed with many forces, they have been secretly spying and always ready to make a move.

If the Eastern Prince's Mansion and the Northern Prince's Mansion start a war here in front of the imperial capital, then things will be out of control. Now the only royal power that is completely loyal to the Qitian Empire is the Eastern Palace, and the Northern Emperor is going to be the Qitian Emperor at the beginning, and he definitely does not want the empire to fall into endless rebellion. But if the Northern Mansion and the Eastern Mansion fight each other, the many forces hidden in the empire will surface, and the Prayer Heaven Empire will enter a full-scale turmoil. There is no doubt about that.

And Huang Yuanwu didn't care at all about who could be the emperor of praying for heaven. All he cares about is the survival of the East Palace, the death of his father, and the root cause of all this. All of this is definitely not as simple as Huang Zhengchu wanting to be the emperor.

For many directions, Huang Yuanwu has not decided the direction of the East Palace, if he has the heart to be the emperor, it will lead to the entire prayer for the heavens of turmoil, if he does not, the fall of the East Palace, will enter the countdown.

"Tell me, what do you want me to say?" At this moment, Huang Yuanwu's heart was solemn, he knew that things had fallen to a critical turning point, and now his attitude would determine the fate of the entire prayer sky. It's not just the imperial capital, it's not just the North and East Palaces. Pray that the vast territory will start a new direction because of Huang Yuanwu's attitude.

"You go back. Huang Zhengchu looked at Huang Yuanwu and said solemnly: "Whether you choose to break away from Qitian and become the king, or continue to develop in a corner of peace, I will not interfere." The passage into the imperial capital, the seven passes, has always been in your hands, I will not take it back, as long as you retreat, it will not prevent me from ascending the throne, I can guarantee that I will never send troops to attack the East Palace, you and I are still brothers, for thousands of generations. ”

Huang Yuanwu stopped Huang Zhengchu's words, smiled lightly, then picked up the wine glass, drank it all, looked at Huang Zhengchu again, and said: "You can still deceive a three-year-old child with these words, tell me, I feel that you are insulting me." Let me go back, what are you waiting for? When you sit firmly on the throne, and then raise your butcher's knife and slash towards the East Palace? I'm afraid you won't talk to me like this at that time. Am I right, brother?"

Huang Yuanwu's words were very unkind, and every sentence was said in Huang Zhengchu's heart, of course he thought so. He himself said that the Dongwang Mansion has heavy troops, hundreds of thousands of armor, millions of Li people, sufficient money and food, a vast area, and the whole army is very strong, leaving such a Dongwang Mansion on the side, no king will be at ease. Huang Yuanwu is not the old king of the east, he is not in the mood of absolute allegiance to the emperor, he does everything for the east palace and the future of the east palace.

In other words, Huang Yuanwu is the king of the East Palace, and he may not be the king of praying for heaven. And Huang Zhengchu wants to be the emperor of praying for the sky and the emperor of the East Palace.

This is an irreconcilable contradiction between Huang Yuanwu and Huang Zhengchu.

The time required for the Dongwang Mansion is definitely more than a few years, and it may take several generations to see the results of the huge project of developing the southern border, and the turmoil of praying for heaven is indeed imminent.

After Huang Yuanwu's words were finished, Huang Zhengchu was silent. He tried to fight a dumb riddle with Huang Yuanwu, but Huang Yuanwu's attitude showed that it was impossible. It may also be that the first emperor blindly let the East Wangfu develop, just to cope with the current situation, a huge palace closest to the imperial capital, anyone who wants to rebel must think clearly in their hearts.

In the main hall, there was a depression for a while, and no one spoke. Huang Zhengchu sat on his dragon chair and looked at Huang Yuanwu silently, while Huang Yuanwu looked indifferent and looked at him quietly. The two looked at each other, and both saw intransigence in each other's eyes.

And if Huang Zhengchu wants to be the emperor, he must pass the level of the East Palace, but if there is a war, the final fruit is likely to be picked by others, which is something that Huang Zhengchu absolutely does not want to see.

After a while, Huang Zhengchu sighed softly, and then said, "Yuanwu, what do you want?"

"It's simple. Huang Yuanwu said in a deep voice: "You and I, all go back, find the other heirs of the former emperor to inherit the throne, and break the current moths in the imperial capital into ten thousand pieces, everyone is safe, and the empire is safe, so it is the best." ”

"It's very simple. When Huang Zheng first heard this, he nodded lightly and said, "But do you know what awaits me if I go back? ”

"If you retreat, I can try my best to ensure that your Beiwang Mansion is fine. Huang Yuanwu looked at Huang Zhengchu and said solemnly: "I sent troops to the imperial capital, in order to pray for a clear sky and a thousand miles of sky, in order to avenge my father, once this matter is over, the new emperor ascends the throne, I will try to ensure that the North Palace's mansion will be fine, but the premise is that you have to tell the mastermind behind the scenes." ”

"Yuanwu, you are too naïve. Huang Zhengchu didn't make much action because of Huang Yuanwu's words, at this moment he was lazily lying on the dragon chair, looking at Huang Yuanwu, and said softly: "Things are not as simple as you think, and it is not as easy as you say, since my Northern Wangfu has sent troops, and it has fallen to the point where it is now, I will definitely not retreat." I'm either going to be an emperor or I'm going to die on the battlefield, and there's no other way to go, and you're different. ”

Saying that, Huang Zhengchu sat up straight, stared at Huang Yuanwu, and said: "You still have a way to choose, Yuanwu, retreat! If you want Yang Qin, I will tie him up and hand him over to you personally!"

Huang Zhengchu's tone, almost pleading, was beyond Huang Yuanwu's expectations, he looked at Huang Zhengchu, his mind was running rapidly, as if he realized something, and as if he didn't notice anything. Huang Zhengchu's last sentence was very different from what he had shown before, and he didn't have the indomitable momentum of Fang Cai at all, and Huang Yuanwu almost thought that he had heard it wrong.

When he looked at Huang Zhengchu again, he found that this person had returned to Fang Cai's appearance, lazily leaning on the dragon chair, with an evil look, as if Fang Cai's affairs were all Huang Yuanwu's imagination.

"It's ...... What happened......" Huang Yuanwu was a little shocked in his heart, look at it now

Huang Zhengchu's appearance is no different from what Huang Zhengchu has always imagined in his heart, and Huang Zhengchu, who just said that kind of words that are close to pleading, is his own imagination, and he has never appeared, as if all this is illusory.

Huang Yuanwu glanced at the other generals of the Northern Palace, these people were still sitting upright, since they entered the main hall, these people did not eat meat or drink, they just did it quietly, without saying a word.

The atmosphere here is a little dignified and weird, Huang Yuanwu now deeply feels this, he looked at Huang Zhengchu, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "This matter is very important, I want to think about it, and I will be responsible for the entire Dongwang Mansion." ”

"It's nature. Huang Zhengchu smiled, sat up straight, picked up the wine glass and said to Emperor Yuanwu: "This matter is very important and needs to be handled carefully, I didn't say that you have to give me an answer now, but Yuanwu has to go back and think carefully, don't let down my hard work." ”

Huang Yuanwu raised his glass, drank it all, nodded slightly, then got up, and said softly: "In this way, I will go back first, and after deciding, I will inform you." ”

"Okay!" Huang Zhengchu smiled, looked at Huang Yuanwu, and then rushed out of the door and said loudly: "Send off!"

The door of the main hall opened immediately, and the old man who had just led the way for Huang Yuanwu was standing outside the hall with a smile on his face, looking like he was waiting for Huang Yuanwu. Huang Yuanwu arched his hand at Huang Zhengchu, and then took a step, along the side of the main hall, out of the main hall, his seven guards have been Huang Yuanwu faintly surrounded in the middle, followed his footsteps out of the main hall, and Liu Yi, has been walking in front of Huang Yuanwu, opening the way for him.

The moment everyone stepped out of the main hall, a sergeant trotted over, knelt at the door of the main hall, and said in a loud voice: "Report, there is a holy decree." ”

Huang Yuanwu was stunned for a moment, he thought that Yang Qin would not make a move, but now it seems that this is not the case. He stopped and looked to the side, between which three court officials were walking in the direction of the main hall, one of them was holding the imperial scepter, with a delicate lantern hanging on the head of the staff, and the other was holding a brocade box with a holy decree on it, and the one in the middle was obviously older, holding the dust, and the three internal officials were not summoned, and went straight into the main hall.

The two looked at each other for a very short time, and then the inner official turned back and strode into the main hall.

Huang Yuanwu was interested, and did not move, just stood outside the main hall, wanting to hear what Yang Qin and Huang Zhengchu said, but the old man stood in front of Huang Yuanwu, with a smile on his face, and said softly: "Little prince, please here." ”

Huang Yuanwu saw that in the main hall, Huang Zhengchu was leaning on the dragon chair, and the three internal officials were standing in the hall, and the internal officials headed by him took the holy decree and were about to read it to the emperor. Seeing this, Huang Yuanwu immediately lost interest, there must be no key information in this holy decree, it was nothing more than sabotaging his meeting with Huang Zhengchu, but Yang Qin's movements were a little slow, and his meeting with Huang Zhengchu was over.

Huang Yuanwu, who had lost interest, followed the old man and went straight out of the City Lord's Mansion in Shuinan City and came to the door.

In front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, the soldiers of the East Wangfu were still confronting the soldiers of the North Wangfu, almost face to face with each other, and they should have remained motionless during the meeting between Huang Yuanwu and Huang Zhengchu.

"Go back to the camp!" Seeing this, Huang Yuanwu didn't say much, pulled the reins of the war horse handed over by the sergeant on the side, turned over the horse directly, passed through the passage composed of two sergeants in front of the door, and went straight to the city gate.

The soldiers of the East Wangfu in the back retreated in an orderly manner, and then got on their horses one after another, followed behind Huang Yuanwu, and went straight to the city gate. The sergeants of the North Wangfu lined up in the phalanx again, and watched the group of people from the East Wangfu disappear into the street.
