Qi Di, Qi Wangfu.

After Dugu Danyun entered Luoyang, the Qi Palace became idle.

The former Qi land was not enfeoffed, but a close minister was found to be the state pastor of this place.

Therefore, it was considered smooth for King Qin to enter the city with his troops.

The garrison in the northern border was not over yet, and some of the hundreds of thousands of troops could have gone back first.

But King Qin gave an order and left everyone in Qi.

At this time, the so-called sending the troops back may lead to misunderstanding.

In the palace of Prince Qi, in front of Prince Qin's Independence Hall, he looked very tired after months of fighting.

He hasn't been back to Prince Qi's Mansion for a long time. This place where he grew up is filled with too many memories.

"Brother Wenyuan, would you like to have a couple of drinks with me today?"

"Your Highness, now is not the time to drink."

"Why not? You and I are in an awkward situation now. We can't go anywhere. Can't we drink?"

“The sky is high and the sea is vast, so where can’t I go even if the fish jumps?”

Although Han Wenyuan said this, he still did not refuse and went to the side to bring two jars of wine.

He handed one of the altars to King Qin.

Dugu Xu smiled, "Brother Wenyuan is still as bold as before."

"Haha! I'm afraid it's not bold, but it's just unpleasant to look at, right?"

Hearing this, Dugu Xu laughed loudly, "Hahaha, you Han Wenyuan, you are holding on to the past, right?"

"Back then, His Highness said he was unhappy with me and came to fight with me angrily."

"You still have the nerve to say that I was the son of King Qi at that time, but you actually dared to hit me. Looking at the world, there are not many people who have such courage."

"So what? You're not as good as others, so who's to blame for being beaten?"

"You speak as if you have never been beaten by me."

The two looked at each other, smiled, and continued drinking.

After a long time, Dugu Xu sighed: "In a blink of an eye, you and I are both this old. Brother Wenyuan, what do you think of me?"

Han Wenyuan was thoughtful.

"It's not bad. He's really good-natured. He's good as a friend."

"What if I were a king and a minister?"

Han Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Jun Chen, these two words are really heavy."

"Brother Wenyuan, if destiny is my king's, can I allow you to be my subordinate?"

At this time, Duguxu was tired of being tried and tested, so he directly expressed what he meant.

Seeing him speaking so bluntly, Han Wenyuan shook his head.

"How much did you drink just now, and you started talking nonsense? Destiny has never been on you, Duguxu, if one day you conquer the Qin Dynasty, I will serve as your general, and we will conquer the Northern Barbarians together. What do you think? ?”

Han Wenyuan's words are wonderful, there is a measure of advance and retreat.

On the one hand, it reminded King Qin that he should not think about the position that did not belong to him.

On the other hand, even if you are not the emperor, I can still serve you.

King Qin was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Brother Wenyuan, Brother Wenyuan, you are really a fox."

"Your Highness, it's great, but now, I don't see you having any chance of winning." Hearing this, Dugu Xu was also stunned.

He thought about many reasons why Han Wenyuan was unwilling to help him. They could be loyal to the emperor and the country, or he didn't like to be a subject to him.

The only thing I didn't expect was that Han Wenyuan didn't think highly of himself.

"Oh? Are you willing just because I have a chance of winning?"

Han Wenyuan shook his head.

"Your Highness, do you think that I, Han Wenyuan, have always acted fairly, so I will draw a clear line with you when I hear that you have the intention to compete for the throne?"

"Is not it?"

"Do you think I am Shen Hangong?"

"Then I don't understand. Brother Wenyuan, what does this mean?"

"I just don't think now is the best time for you."

"How to say?"

Han Wenyuan shook his head, took a sip of wine and said:
"Don't ask me what I think, Dugu Xu, if you want to succeed, you shouldn't be in a hurry."

"Why?"

"Now we have just finished the battle with the Northern Barbarians, but in fact we have not made any achievements. The reason why we are stationed is because we are worried that the Northern Barbarians will have some evil thoughts towards our great Chu after receiving the news. The Xiliang Kingdom in the west is also watching with eagerness. Yesterday I received a letter from Kyoto, saying that there is another rebellion in Shu, and now Chu is in a state of turmoil, and you should not think about the throne at this time."

"Oh? But only in troubled times can heroes emerge. This road is destined to be paved with flesh and blood. If I remain indifferent at such an opportunity, will I still have a chance in the future?"

Han Wenyuan continued: "Of course there will be. How many years did the late emperor wait? How many years have you waited?"

Dugu Xu seemed to have some realization, and his mood suddenly calmed down.

"But now, even if I don't make any move, I am still in the most embarrassing situation. I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in my hand, and I am restless. If I have the slightest hint of trouble, I am afraid that there will be an explosion in Kyoto."

Han Wenyuan smiled and said, "The late emperor could pretend to be crazy and hide in a pigsty to make a living in order to tolerate it. You are not in such a difficult situation, are you? The prince and you have been brothers for many years, and we have a good relationship. If you surrender to him, do you think he will harm you? ?”

"I know my elder brother well. He is full of benevolence, justice and morality. If I am willing to be an idle prince, I will definitely have a carefree life."

"On the ninth day of the lunar month, don't use the hidden dragon. It is clearly stated in the Book of Changes. When the dragon is hidden in the abyss, you should work hard all day long. Be vigilant at night and don't think too much. Your Highness, if you and I have the same temperament, When it’s time for you to fly like a dragon in the sky, you don’t need to think too hard, I, Han Wenyuan, can help you.”

"Oh? Brother Wenyuan, this is the first time you have chatted with me so shamelessly."

Han Wenyuan's statement at this time was a surprise to King Qin.

The mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and there is another village.

If Han Wenyuan's sincere support can be obtained, the throne will be within easy reach.

"I still say that, not now. If His Highness insists on taking this opportunity to do something, not only will I not help you, I will also stop you."

"Okay, I can agree, but how can I trust you?"

"I don't need to use people, but I don't need to use people who are suspicious."

King Qin asked again: "Then tell me, what are you planning?"

"I just want you to give me a promise."

"What promise?"

"If one day you can ascend to that position, I will be the king with a different surname!"

A sharp look flashed in Han Wenyuan's eyes, and he stared directly at King Qin with sharp eyes.

"Okay, I am like a green mountain, and my father is like a pine and cypress. If one day comes, your Han family will be the number one family of our Great Chu! And you, Han Wenyuan, will be my most important minister of Great Chu! Not only that, I will also give my two My sisters will all marry you! If Madam-in-law doesn’t want to, how about letting my two sisters be your concubines?!”

When Dugu Xu said this, his expression was serious.

Han Wenyuan smiled and said calmly: "Let's talk about this later. Your Highness, I'm just telling you that soon, the imperial court will definitely send someone to invite you back to Beijing. You don't have to do anything. As long as I live for one day, you will Everything will be fine, it depends on whether you dare to believe me!"
