Troubled times but play in the palm of your hand

"What did you say? Tianji's wealthy family is going to attack Xun Su?" Zhong Kunyi put down the official document in his hand and said in surprise.

"It's absolutely true." Ren Yuanhe said: "Many aristocratic families in Tianji are quite dissatisfied with Xun Su, and they plan to take advantage of the stalemate between Xun Su and Tianxuan to raise troops and force Xun Su to make concessions."

"Forcing Xun Su to give in?" Zhong Kunyi sneered, "Tianji's aristocratic families don't want to be as domineering as Tianshu's. They have no military power in their hands. It's not a joke for them to raise troops."

"I'm afraid someone secretly provoked it. Looking at it now, Tianxuan is very likely to be the mastermind of this matter. My lord, can we make some arrangements?"

Zhong Kunyi pondered for a while with his hands behind his back, and said: "Tianji's family can't bear the taxation of the old man, can Tianshu bear it? There will always be chaos, so we can start." Zhong Kunyi looked at Ren Yuanhe: " The Tianshu family did not dare to fight against Xi Su. Although the taxes were heavy, the power of Tianshu finally fell into their hands. But..." Zhong Kunyi turned her back and looked at the wall outside the window: "But, if you can borrow The strength of others wiped out the scorpion riding on their heads, and they would not object, presumably."

"My lord, can we tell them the news that Tianji is preparing to raise troops?"

"We don't need to do anything." Zhong Kunyi said: "I want to come to the Tianji family more anxiously than we are. After all, if they are not careful, they will only lose their heads. How hard it is to win the support of Tianxuan and Tianshu important."

"Then, shall we do nothing?" Ren Yuanhe asked.

"The three great aristocratic families of Tianshu are timid and afraid of getting into trouble, except..." Zhong Kunyi paused slightly: "They haven't done anything happy, since we have already arranged people in the three great aristocratic families, we always have to add fuel to the flames... ..."

In fact, when the Tianji family picked it, it wasn't too bad.

Because of Tianquan's reinforcements, they finally came.

Ling Guang went out of the city to greet him in person. In the bleak autumn wind, he and Zhi Ming looked at each other from a distance, with thousands of troops but indifferent background.

Seeing Ling Guang standing up in purple, Zhi Ming couldn't help but tilt his head slightly and said, "He's really a wonderful person."

Gu Lianggen, who was standing aside, put his right hand to his lips and coughed lightly twice.

Fortunately, the master did not follow.

Of course Ling Guang didn't know what Zhi Ming was thinking, otherwise he would probably have sent him back straight away.So Zhiming wandered into Tianxuan Capital City with the mentality of enjoying the scenery.

I have to say that even though the inside is quite out of tune, Zhi Ming can still scare people when he is putting on a serious face.

At least the ministers of Tianxuan didn't notice anything unusual for the time being.Gu Lianggen felt comforted in his heart.

Ling Guang took Zhi Ming into the inner room for a detailed discussion.

The layout here is different from that of the main hall. Without the strict rules of the monarch's discussion, it is as comfortable as a sleeping hall. Zhiming saw the soft bed placed in the hall at a glance, and curled up on it without paying attention at all. He beckoned to Ling Guang and said enthusiastically, "A Ling, come here."

Looking at Zhiming's posture, Ling Guang couldn't help twitching the corner of his mouth.

When Ling Guang also sat down on the couch, Zhiming immediately leaned forward, looked at Ling Guang from the bottom up, opened a pair of curious eyes and asked: "A Ling, the medicine I sent over is okay. use?"

"It's easy to use." Looking at Zhiming's appearance, Ling Guang somehow wanted to laugh: "Ben... I thanked the deputy."

"A Ling, it's just the two of us here, why are you talking so stiffly, it's weird." Zhi Ming rested his chin on his hand, and lowered his eyes listlessly.

"You look like this, it's really..." Ling Guang lifted the teapot: "Although the medicine tossed Gongsun a lot, the effect is surprisingly good."

"How did you toss it?" Zhiming regained his energy immediately, his back straightened a lot: "A Ling, tell me about it?"

Ling Guang suppressed a smile: "It's nothing serious, it's just that I can't sleep for several days in a row, and my body is weak after being poisoned. In this way, it really feels like dying."

"Can't sleep?" Zhi Ming opened his mouth, slapped the table and said, "Those quack doctors! How dare they deceive me! This effect is not what I want at all!"

"Then what effect did you originally want?" Ling Guang looked at Zhi Ming's appearance and found it very interesting.

"I..." Zhi Ming just said a word, then fell silent, looked up at Ling Guang's half-smile, couldn't help scratching his head: "A Ling, let's talk about business, talk about business."

"Xunsu and Tianxuan are now in a stalemate, and there is the right to send troops. As long as there are no major mistakes, Xunsu's grand plan and hegemony will stop here."

Zhiming leaned forward: "A Ling, do you still remember that when Xunsu built a passage in the mountains and swamps, he used this to conquer Tianji?"

"What?" Ling Guang's heart skipped a beat.

"What if I say that Tianquan has also discovered such a passage?"

Ling Guang looked at Zhi Ming, his expression was like that of a child who saw an adult do something bad, his eyes were full of slyness, he knew he was thinking of some bad idea, but it made people feel so clear that he could see everything at a glance.

Ling Guang couldn't help but leaned over to look at him, and asked softly, "What do you want?"

Zhi Ming looked at Ling Guang's picturesque eyebrows, tilted his head and smiled, and just rightly, he became romantic again.

Covering his mouth that had sneezed several times, Gu Lianggen looked worriedly at the inner room with the closed door.

King Tianxuan has always been dignified and dignified, so it is best not to be kicked out by his own king.

Rubbing his temples distressedly, Gu Lianggen thought, it really broke his heart.

Yuxuan looked at the battle report and said angrily, "What's going on? Why are there so many casualties? Your commander, don't you want your head?"

The soldier who notified him knelt under his highness, not daring to show his breath.

"My lord." The national teacher stepped forward and said: "My lord, this battle is not due to the lack of strength of the general, but the fact that the new recruits from Tianquan have arrived. With the combined forces of the two places, our army is indeed invincible."

"Tianquan's movements are so fast." Yuxuan frowned, looked at Murongli who was standing aside, and asked, "What do you think, sir?"

Murongli glanced at Yuxie and said, "The King sent someone to assassinate King Tianquan, but Tianquan couldn't bear it. If he wants to send troops, it is also a warning to Xisu."

"Mr. Murong's words are really light." The national teacher sneered: "Since Tianquan has sent troops, he will never die if he stays with me. Now that I am in a dangerous situation, how should the master resolve it?"

"When the national teacher sent someone to assassinate King Tianquan, didn't he think about the current situation?" Murongli said, "I only found out about it two days ago, why did the national teacher ask me instead?"

"you……"

"Okay, don't make a lot of noise, let outsiders see what it looks like." Yuxiu put her hands on her forehead and said to the soldier, "Go down first."

"Yes." The little soldier withdrew immediately as if he had received an amnesty.

Murong Li watched the little soldier walk away, then turned his head and said to Yuxuan: "The situation is irreversible, what is the king's plan?"

The national teacher said: "Although Xisu has captured the two countries of Tianji and Tianshu, the time is not long and the foundation is not stable. At this moment, Tianxuan and Tianshu are joining forces. If we increase troops to the front, I am afraid that there will be changes in the rear."

"Does the national teacher mean to negotiate peace with Tianxuan Tianquan?"

"Your Majesty, since what we are pursuing is a great cause for thousands of years, why should we be in a hurry."

"No." Yuxie said decisively: "One vigorous effort, then decline, and three exhaustion, if this king stops at this moment, I'm afraid that in the rest of my life, I will not be able to see Qi Su rule the world."

"Kings……"

"The national teacher does not need to mention this matter again."

"Your Majesty!" the national teacher said anxiously: "My Majesty, Tianquan is rich and prosperous, Tianxuan is good at fighting, and neither of the two countries has any worries about the rear. I have been fighting for a long time, and I am afraid that food and grass will not be sustainable."

"Is it possible that I can't compare with his Tianquan?" Yuxuan said in a deep voice, "I have already considered what the national teacher is worried about. It is imperative to take down Tianxuan and Tianquan in one fell swoop."

"Your Majesty." Murong Li said from the side: "Your Majesty, you need to support war with war, and you don't have to spend your energy on lodging and lodging for food and grass."

Yuxuan thought for a while and said, "Sir, do you want to increase the tax of Tianji Tianshu?"

"According to the strength of the troops stationed in Tianji Tianshu at this time, it is enough to deter those who have evil intentions. If taxes are increased at this time, one can solve the worries of Qisu's food and grass, and the other can also weaken the old days of Tianji Tianshu. With the influence of the family. In my opinion, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone."

Yuxuan tapped the table lightly with her fingers, her brows deep in thought.

Murongli looked at Yuxuan's appearance, lowered his head slightly, concealed all his emotions, turned and left the hall.

"What Murongli said is not impossible."

Yuxuan opened her eyes and looked at the national teacher with burning eyes.

Looking at Yuxuan's appearance, the national teacher knew that he had made up his mind, so he could only swallow the words of advice, cupped his hands and said, "But according to the king's order."

"This matter can only be relieved by entrusting it to the national teacher."

"A Ling." Zhi Ming looked at Ling Guang expectantly, "What do you think?"

Ling Guang said: "I will send a letter to Gongsun and ask him to follow your ideas."

Hearing this sentence, Zhiming showed a happy smile on his face, brushed his sleeves aside, propped up his upper body, clasped his hands behind his back, and stretched his waist: "It's finally finished, Ah Ling, you Tianxuan But if there are any delicious and interesting things, take them out and let me see them."

Seeing his appearance, Ling Guang couldn't help laughing and said, "Your Tianquan is the most affluent of the four kingdoms, isn't it short of your food and drink?"

Zhiming wrinkled his nose: "I'm tired of playing and eating all the things in Tianquan Palace. It's not easy to come out. Of course, I have to try something new."

"Why are you acting like a child?" Ling Guang softened his brows and eyes: "You don't look like a king at all."

"What are you afraid of?" Zhi Ming didn't care, "Teacher and Ah Liang can take care of some trivial matters, so why worry so much about it. I'm just responsible for eating, drinking and having fun, and that's enough."

After finishing speaking, Zhi Ming lifted his clothes and jumped off the couch, pushed open the palace door, took a deep breath, and said to Gu Lianggen, who was drinking tea, "Ah Liang, come here."

The worried Gu Lianggen was so frightened by the sound that he almost spit out his tea. He looked up and saw Zhiming and Ling Guang had come out. He quickly got up, and immediately saw the servants around him staring at Zhiming with strange expressions.

After all, it was on someone else's territory, Gu Lianggen really blushed a little, and felt for the first time that dragging Zhi Ming away from this place was not a serious crime.
