Red Emperor

"Your Majesty was honored as the king of Qi on that day, and he was given the title of King of Side-by-Shoulders. I heard that there was someone who was not ashamed to say that King Qi opened the way to be the emperor..."

Emperor Yan chuckled, raised his hand to interrupt Zhong Shuling's angry statement, and then poured hot tea himself as a token of apology.

"You don't need to worry about this, you are my heart and shoulders, it doesn't matter if you don't like the King of Qi, I will be devoted to the King of Qi, I think the same is true for the King of Qi and his backers to treat me." Emperor Yan said narrowly.

"Even the King of Qi himself has done a lot of overreaching things with indecent words!"

Emperor Yan shook his head, and said softly: "King Qi's words and deeds are a little detached, because he is a handsome man with a heroic style."

Zhong Shuling sighed softly, with regret on his brows, "Your Majesty treats the king of Qi with the utmost benevolence, and I only worry that one day, the king of Qi will betray his majesty, how should your majesty be sad?"

Emperor Yan was helpless: "I and the king of Qi are the best friends of the president. I have never treated him poorly for many years. Why should he bear me?"

"Back then, in the battle of Deyi, the king of Qi only narrowly won, so he built a capital to show off his might to the world. Has your majesty forgotten the humiliation of the past after receiving a few pilgrimages and flattery from him?"

"I haven't forgotten, but I only blamed myself for my lack of military skills. How could I blame King Qi? King Qi was just young and energetic, and he didn't have any malicious intentions. Besides, I was ashamed to wipe out the Qi army in Baling. Now I have survived." Brother Jiebo is here, isn’t it a blessing in life to meet each other with a smile and forget all grievances? Qing was born in Jingchu, bearing in mind his ancestor Zhuang Wang’s refusal to build a Beijing temple, and his ambition of ‘stop fighting for martial arts’, the demeanor of a benevolent man really makes me admire. You should take it as the name of my order to repay grievances with virtue, and stop haggling with the King of Qi, okay?"

At this time, Emperor Yan's eyes were slightly bent, and his face was slightly apologetic.

Zhong Shuling suddenly felt like what night and what night, as if he was not the "Red Emperor" who ruled the world and ruled the world, or the King of Yan when he went to Chu to vote for Yan and greeted him in person, like fresh snow on a mountain without a trace of turbidity.

The words have come to this point, Zhongshuling can only swallow it for the time being, no matter how full of advice he has, and apologize with a wry smile.

Emperor Yan also said "Qing and Zhenyi are the ruler and the minister, and the love is more than flesh and blood", so he comforted the frustrated Zhongshu Ling, which made him look a little pale when he left.

He personally sent the fifth Aichen whom E Guanbo brought tonight to the west steps. Emperor Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and walked back into the hall staggeringly, opened the bamboo curtain, and saw light The young man in the robe showed his face and said:

"Yangping Lord and Taiyuan Lord advised me to be careful of the King of Qin, Captain Sili advised me to guard against the King of Wu, General Long Xiang and Zhong Shuling advised me to see the King of Qi clearly. Is the assignment good?" Emperor Yan chuckled, "Come on, come on." , Dong Lang, let's continue, pour me down, if someone comes to say bad things about you to me later, I can disappear, haha."

"I won't go with you. It's wrong to go, and it's wrong not to go. It's hard to be human." The young man made a grimace, took the roasted venison wrapped in oil paper by Emperor Yan, and handed it to him, and took a big bite. a mouthful.

A month ago, Emperor Yan's uncle King Anle, who was stationed in Youzhou to defend against the Huns, was seriously ill. Emperor Yan took him back to Yandu to recuperate.Emperor Yan decided to lead an army to expel the captives. Qi Wang, Wu Wang and other subjects asked to accompany him to relieve the king's worries.

Emperor Yan readily agreed, but his confidants were worried about the trip.

The last king of Yue who surrendered among the kingdoms was not included in this list. He did not request to accompany him, and Emperor Yan did not order him to accompany him.

At this time, on the eve before the army departed for Youzhou, the young man who held a banquet for two with Emperor Yan in his bedroom, the young man who had drunk several rounds of wine before he was drunk was the King of Yue.

"Dong Lang, do you think I am the courage of a man and the benevolence of a woman?" Emperor Yan asked suddenly.

The king of Yue ate his mouth full of greasy mouthfuls, and couldn't stop at all. He suddenly heard Emperor Yan's question, and after being slightly stunned, he chewed and swallowed the food in his mouth desperately, and said:

"How come? Your Majesty only remembers the good of others but not the bad."

On weekdays, Emperor Yan heard a lot of such high hats, whether he sincerely admired false flattery or tactfully persuaded him before the foreshadowing. Even a sentence without praise or criticism made him feel elated.

Handing over a cup of wine, he said softly, "Dong Lang knows me."

The King of Yue took it and drank it down, "But it is also possible that people are old and have poor memory."

Emperor Yan just smiled naively, without retorting. King Yue turned his head suspiciously, and saw Emperor Yan resting his palms on his hands, his face was full of clouds, and his eyes lingered like water.

"Now we are far away, why did you give me this gift, so that I can think about others when I see things?" After a long time, Emperor Yan asked softly.
