"Your Majesty, this time you went to the Alliance, you brought such a few people?"

In a mediocre carriage, there are two people, one big and one small, the big one looks like the dragon and phoenix among the people, and the small one looks promising.

"Hmm. Emperor Wei nodded.

Liu Chu lifted the curtain and looked out, there were only three people and three horses outside, Xuanyuan Hongyu, the general of the forbidden army, Xuanyuan Jingcheng, the commander of the Qilin Guard, and Feng Yichen's apprentice Xiahou Yun.

In front of him was still sitting Lu Youwei, who was acting as a chariot groom.

Liu Chu pondered, how could the emperor have to have thousands of forbidden troops when he traveled?

"Your Majesty, Lord Lu won't bring it with you, then who will negotiate when the time comes?" asked Liu Chu.

In other countries, the king is just behind the battle, and the negotiators are still the important ministers in their respective courts.

"Mu Qing. Emperor Wei smiled.

"What?" Liu Chu's eyes widened and asked Mu Qing to negotiate?

Emperor Wei and Mu Qing have always been at odds with each other, how could they let Mu Qing negotiate?

"Don't be surprised, compared to some people, even if this Mu Qing is a bastard, it is impossible for him to commit treason. Emperor Wei said.

"But doesn't Your Majesty suspect that the 50,000 private soldiers that let the ministers destroy actually belong to Mu Qing?" asked Liu Chu suspiciously, secretly cultivating private soldiers, is this not a suspicion of rebellion?

"Two different things, even if he wins the Wei State with a million soldiers, then the Wei State is still the Wei State, and there will be no change. What Mu Qing really wants to do is to win a broader world for his family. In general, he is just not willing to be a minister. Emperor Wei said.

"When I first ascended the throne, I was constrained by him everywhere. And there are not many people available around, it is nothing more than Lu Zhengxuan, your father Liu Zhanguo, Lu Youwei, the old dean and others, as well as the unwanted courtiers who were also excluded by Mu Qing. At that time, it was really hard enough. Emperor Wei sighed.

"What about the four great families of Baiyun and Autumn Leaves, aren't they loyal ministers for generations?" asked Liu Chu.

"They are loyal to the country, not to the king. This is also their way of survival that has survived to this day. Emperor Wei said.

Liu Chu thought about it, it seems that this is really the case, once the Son of Heaven is a courtier, if they are loyal to the Son of Heaven, maybe after the next Son of Heaven ascends the throne, they will be excluded and suppressed.

But the four major families of Baiyun and Autumn Leaves are very smart, they are loyal to the country, the Son of Heaven will change, but the country will not change.

"With the efforts of me and your father, our situation has slowly turned around, but it is still difficult, and the right to speak is always not as strong as that of Mu Qing, the patriarch of the three dynasties. ”

"This state of affairs lasted until your father sacrificed himself, and I had the opportunity to transfer Mu Qing and his people out of the center of power. ”

But Mu Qing didn't give up struggling, and even I suspected that he was hiding something terrible. More than ten years ago, he slaughtered the younger generation of the Wei State, do you think I don't know? It's just that I can't stop it!"

"Extinction Gate? It's just a joke! It's just something that has been pushed to the surface, and behind Mu Qing's back, there is a big hidden hand, which is what I am most worried about. ”

Emperor Wei's eyes were implied with profundity, there were too many things to worry about and problems to solve.

"Your Majesty, if we don't have this, you can rest assured, and promise to help you stabilize the country properly. Liu Chu said with a smile.

"I'm relieved, at least for now. Emperor Wei nodded.

But he sighed in his heart, there are three major things to be solved at the moment, the first is Mu Qing, the second is Chu State, and the third is overseas non-local countries.

"Xiao Nian, when the time comes, accompany me to a place, and when I get there, I should be able to figure out a lot of things that I can't understand. Emperor Wei said suddenly.

"Obey. Liu Chu nodded.

But in his heart, he was curious, where did Emperor Wei want him to accompany him? That place seemed to contain some big secret.

"Huh!" At this time, Lu Youwei suddenly stopped the carriage.

"Your Majesty. Lu Youwei lifted the curtain and shouted Your Majesty.

"What's the matter?" asked Emperor Wei.

"Mu Qing's carriage. Lu Youwei said.

"Huh?"

Emperor Wei snorted and stepped out of the carriage. At the same time, Mu Qing on the opposite carriage also walked down with the support of Kill Wan.

Compared with Mu Qing who he saw before, Liu Chu felt that he seemed to be much older, his back was hunched than before, his legs and feet didn't seem to be as agile as before, and there were more wrinkles on his face, especially the hair on his head, which had almost become pale, only part of the gray hair, and not a single black hair.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty. Mu Qing bowed, but did not bow down, this is his privilege as the first assistant.

"This alliance negotiation is going to trouble Aiqing. Emperor Wei said lightly.

"This is what a minister should do, and he will live up to his mission. Mu Qing lowered his head with his hands down, looking very humble.

Liu Chu secretly sneered, a typical surface gentleman, if this Mu Qing can maintain respect for Emperor Wei, then it will be really a ghost.

"There are rumors over there that we are colluding with overseas African countries, what do you think?" Emperor Wei looked at Mu Qing.

"Although Liu Xianfeng personally killed the envoys of the Huolan Empire, after all, they didn't see it with their own eyes, so it is inevitable that they will not believe it. ”

Because Liu Chu has been named a pioneer general, Mu Qing's title for Liu Chu has also changed slightly.

"How do you solve that?" asked Emperor Wei.

"Plan before you act. Mu Qing said.

"How do you plan to move after you make a decision?" Emperor Wei asked again.

"Those people spreading these rumors are nothing more than the position of the leader of the alliance, once the alliance reaches a consensus, the position of the leader of the alliance is likely to fall on the head of our Wei State, because at present, only our Wei State has the strength to overwhelm all countries. ”

"Your Majesty also said that those are all rumors, so they have no substantive evidence, we just need to fight for it. ”

"If we can't argue with reason, then let's use our actions to prove that we are not colluding with people from overseas and non-local places. ”

Mu Qing said one by one.

"Prove it with action, how to prove it?" asked Emperor Wei suspiciously.

Mu Qing gestured to Kill Wan beside him, Kill Wan nodded, then stepped into the carriage, pulled the curtain, and dragged a string of people out of it.

Yes, a string of people, one by one, tied by ropes and connected in series, is estimated to have seven or eight people.

Liu Chu now understood why Mu Qing's carriage was so big, at first he thought it was because of Mu Qing's luxurious enjoyment, the carriage may have been filled with a lot of food and playthings, but he didn't expect it to be filled with people.

"These are all spies lurking in Chang'an from overseas Africa, and they were caught by my people. If they question the Wei State, we will kill all these people in front of them. Mu Qing said in a calm tone.

Emperor Wei squinted, these spies, his "tricks" were not found, he didn't expect Mu Qing to be able to catch them.

"What if they still don't believe me, and think that these people are just substitutes for us to put on a play with overseas African countries?" asked Emperor Wei. "Then tell them directly that Mu Yi Hongya is in Zhao Kingdom. Mu Qing said with a smile, but on the old face, a smile was full of ravines and folds.

"How do you know?"

Emperor Wei has also been sending people to search for Mu Yi Hongya's whereabouts, but he has only heard that he may be on an unknown island in the southernmost part, not far from Yudai Island in Nanwan.

How could this Mu Qing know Mu Yi Hongya's whereabouts?

"A few juniors in the family are doing business in Zhao State, and they stumbled upon Mu Yi Hongya, who showed up, and they were also lucky. The minister didn't have time to tell His Majesty, and hoped that His Majesty would forgive him. Mu Qing lowered his head and explained.

"This is a good thing, then you send someone to keep an eye on this Mu Yi Hongya. Emperor Wei nodded, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Minister, obey the order. Mu Qing took the order.

Next, the two sides got into their respective carriages and walked all the way to the destination of the Nine Nations Alliance.

"See, this old fox is demonstrating to me, and he's like a cow. ”

After getting into the carriage, Emperor Wei sighed and said to Liu Chu.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter, you are a king, he is a minister, and there are ways to govern him. Liu Chu said.

"Hmm. But he did have something, and I had found the whereabouts of the group of people he had just loaded in the carriage, but then they went into hiding, and I couldn't dig them out. ”

"And that Mu Yi Hongya, since Mu Qing dares to say that he is in Zhao Kingdom, then he should be somewhat sure, he can track Mu Yi Hongya's whereabouts, and he also needs some skills. What did relatives inadvertently discover when they were doing business in Zhao Kingdom? ”

Emperor Wei showed enough attention to Mu Qing in and out of his words, and the elders of the three dynasties were really not joking.

"By the way, after the alliance is over, you go to Chu Country and go to the Burial Flower City to see Chu Huamei. Emperor Wei said.

"Chu Huamei, why are you going to see her?" Liu Chu was stunned for a moment.

Chu Huamei, this woman, is crazy! In order to take revenge, she can introduce the troops of other countries into Chu and pounce on the capital of Chu.

"Probe the wind and see if she is willing to lead a million-strong army in the eastern frontier of Chu to rebel out of Chu and establish herself as the king. Emperor Wei said.

Liu Chu was taken aback, this doesn't seem realistic, right?

"Chen went to ask her directly?" asked Liu Chu.

"Ask directly, tell her, if she establishes herself as king, I allow her to lead her troops to move east for 200 miles, and I will give up another 100 miles of land on the Jiangzhou line and Jizhou line in western Xinjiang, which is enough as a buffer zone for her. Emperor Wei said.

"Your Majesty, those three hundred miles of land, in the past, it seems that it was originally from the Chu State, right?" Liu Chu had a strange expression.

"That's right, and I have never developed those three hundred miles of land, so it doesn't hurt to give it to Chu Huamei. The corners of Emperor Wei's mouth hooked.

The corners of Liu Chu's mouth twitched, he was really cunning.

"You just told Chu Huamei that the Central Plains is a family, and I just want to realize the unification of the Central Plains in the true sense as soon as possible. Emperor Wei said.

"That woman is crazy, it is useful to talk to her about this? The minister thinks that it is better to promise to kill the current king of Chu for her. Liu Chu said.

"At first, that's what I thought. feels that she is a woman who will do anything to avenge the man she loves. ”

"It wasn't until I found out that she actually had a child, and it was a son, that I didn't think so. ”

Emperor Wei told a big secret that no one knew, and Liu Chu was shocked.

Chu Huamei actually has a son!
