The best ring

Although the Yanfeng Kingdom is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, the old emperor always believes that he is a wise king and his ability to govern the country is not bad. He should be famous in history!

Therefore, he would never agree to such a marriage that would be humiliating and humiliating to the country.

What's more, he still has to marry his beloved daughter far away, which he naturally cannot accept.

"I regret not deposing all of you earlier!" The old emperor suddenly felt his blood surge as he thought of the previous quarrel in the court.

He was worrying about national affairs there, but instead of sharing his worries, those ministers were here fighting for power for their own interests. This situation really disappointed and saddened the old emperor.

Originally, the old emperor's health was not very good, but now he was attacked in turn by the emperor of Tianji Kingdom and his ministers, causing the old emperor's already weak body to collapse in an instant.

The old emperor is sick!

I'm so angry!

He originally wrote a letter to Zhao Qi, saying that he was sick. It was just a lie told by the old emperor. He just wanted Zhao Qi to come back as soon as possible, but he never thought that he was really sick now. Moreover, under the anxiety, he was still sick. Not light.

However, even if he was seriously ill, the old emperor did not dare to slack off while lying in bed. Who made his ministers think only about fighting for power and profit? Who made his sons mediocre in ability? He is not at ease and dissatisfied with other people, so he can only work hard on his own.

At the moment, the thing that worries the old emperor the most is the marriage request of the Emperor of Tianji Kingdom.

what to do?

Although the old emperor had ordered his ministers to find a solution before retreating from the court, the old emperor did not dare to place all his hopes on those ministers. He was now extremely dissatisfied and uneasy with those people.

"If there is just a Tianji Kingdom, I may not be afraid of them! There are wars in my Yanfeng Kingdom, and the Tianji Kingdom will not be much better!" The old emperor thought in his heart: "It's just that the Tianji Kingdom is actually at this time , has close ties with Shuiyue Kingdom. If there is a war between Yanfeng Kingdom and Tianji Kingdom, it is difficult to guarantee that Shuiyue Kingdom will not intervene. Facing two big countries at the same time, not to mention, there is another big country watching covetously from the side. It is difficult. ....."

The more the old emperor thought about it, the deeper his frown deepened. Facing several big countries at the same time, even if he was very confident in his own abilities and the combat power of his country, it was difficult for him to be sure!

We must think of a way to crack it!

"If there is unrest in the Shuiyue Kingdom, they will definitely have too much to take care of themselves. When the time comes, they will naturally not have the energy to help the Tianji Kingdom to attack us together." The old emperor thought in his heart.

Excluding the Shuiyue Kingdom, the old emperor still had some confidence when facing the Tianji Kingdom.

However, it is not easy to cause civil strife in Shuiyue Kingdom itself.

Wu Fan!

When the old emperor was thinking about how to get Shuiyue Kingdom into trouble, such a name suddenly popped into his mind.

It's not that the old emperor has always been obsessed with Wu Fan. Wu Fan is just a viscount and a county magistrate. There are many such people in Yanfeng Kingdom, and it is impossible for the old emperor to remember everyone.

The reason why the old emperor remembered Wu Fan's name was because his daughter, Zhao Qi, had gone to Qingyuan County before. In Qingyuan County, Zhao Qi did not know anyone else except Wu Fan. Obviously, Zhao Qi was attracted by Wu Fan. Wherever goes.

Moreover, a few days ago, Zhao Qi personally wrote a letter to ask for an official position on Wu Fan's behalf. The old emperor just laughed it off after reading it. Naturally, he could not be promoted to Wu Fan's official position just because of Zhao Qi's letter. Even though Zhao Qi is his most beloved daughter.

But through Huang Ze who was following Zhao Qi, the old emperor knew the situation in Qingyuan County very well. However, Wu Fan relied on his own ability to wipe out the rebel forces around Qingyuan County and bring peace to Qingyuan County. This shows that Wu Fan Still has some skills.

Originally, this was Wu Fan's test when he was an "intern" as a county magistrate. Wu Fan wiped out the rebel forces around Qingyuan County and was able to get his status as an "intern" regular. However, the old emperor did not think about other rewards. As a county magistrate, it is your duty to keep a place safe.

But, now, the old emperor's thoughts have changed somewhat.

"I remember that I gave him a task before, asking him to assassinate Yelu Hongfei, the second prince of Shuiyue Kingdom. Originally, I just wanted to distract him and let him not meet Qier. It was a random task, but Now it seems that a change has to be made," the old emperor thought seriously.

Although Yelu Hongfei is only the second prince of Shuiyue Kingdom, his prestige in Shuiyue Kingdom is not small. The people who support him are no less than those who support the eldest prince. If something happens to him, then Shuiyue Kingdom will inevitably fall into There will be some chaos, and when the time comes, Shuiyue Kingdom will naturally not be able to send troops to help Tianji Kingdom.

Thinking of this, the old emperor's eyes lit up. A task that was originally arranged randomly now seemed to have become the key.

Wu Fan's strength in Qingyuan County also made the old emperor have a lot more expectations for Wu Fan to complete this task.

"Come here and draw up the decree!" the old emperor said.

Then a eunuch came respectfully with a pen and paper. The old emperor thought for a while and wrote an imperial edict.

After the eunuch left with the imperial edict sealed, the old emperor made other arrangements.

Although the old emperor recognized Wu Fan's strength, this was not a trivial matter after all. It might be related to the national destiny of their Yanfeng country. Therefore, the old emperor naturally could not put all his hopes on Wu Fan alone.

Therefore, while arranging Wu Fan to carry out this task, the old emperor also arranged some other people to carry out this task, just like the task of assassinating Wu Xian, the emperor of Nanping country, at the same time.

After arranging these things, the old emperor breathed a sigh of relief, his mood calmed down a little, and his complexion returned to normal a little. However, his body was weak to begin with, and now he was sick, and it was obviously not so easy to recover completely.

"Don't tell anyone about my illness!" The old emperor ordered the eunuchs, palace maids and imperial doctors in his bedroom.

Now Yanfeng is facing domestic and foreign troubles, and the ministers and princes have their own thoughts. If the news of the old emperor's serious illness spreads at this time, it may cause a big change, which is obviously not what the old emperor wants to see, especially in the current situation.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Everyone in the bedroom hurriedly responded respectfully.

However, what the old emperor didn't know was that some of the people in his bedroom had already been secretly bribed, so it was impossible for him to keep the secret.
