The struggle of the reborn prince

"Don't worry, everyone. This kid is here for the king. I thought he wouldn't attack the others, otherwise what else would they talk about!" Seeing Cai You's expression change, Zhao Tong hurriedly comforted him road. )

"Prince Yan, you have to be careful. If you make a mistake, we can't explain it to the Holy Majesty." After hearing this, Cai You breathed a sigh of relief, and said with concern, but he was still uneasy. , but he also knew that the reason why Xixia was begging for peace was not the Tong Taiwei beside him, but the Prince Yan over there.

"It's nothing, there are more people who want to kill this king, and I don't care about one more aggressive one, let's continue to drink!" Zhao Tang said with a smile, and raised his glass to invite everyone to drink together.A reception of wine was drunk from noon until it was getting dark, and everyone stopped mentioning those troublesome things, and only talked about interesting things.

During the banquet, Zhao Tuo sent the two of them out, "Old Cai, your horse is not very good?" He suddenly saw that the horse brought by Cai You's entourage could be justified if it was in the interior, but it could only be called a poor horse if it was in the northwest. , and the horses it guards are also mixed with hair and color, and there are all kinds of colors.

"Oh, I made the prince laugh!" Cai You blushed, glanced at Tong Guan's horse, his own was obviously half a head short, and he also looked expressionless, and said embarrassingly.

"Go, go to our stables to choose a hundred white horses, and bring my king's horse 'Chasing Snow', and give them to Lao Cai!" Zhao Tun seemed to have drunk too much, and shouted at Jianxi, staggering , The bachelor in the mouth has also become Lao Cai.

"My lord, this..." Cai You still wanted to decline, worried that there might be tricks going on here.

"Lao Cai, I stole dozens of horses from you back then, and now these horses will be paid to you!" Zhao Tun put his arms around Cai You's shoulders, and whispered in Cai You's ear : "I also stole these horses from Xixia. Now they are very afraid. As long as my cannon fires, it will be ten thousand taels of gold. If you don't want it, you don't want it for nothing!"

"Hehe. If that's the case, I'll be disrespected, but I still have to thank the prince!" Cai You said with a smile.

"Old Cai. When I invited you to collect tolls at the gate of the palace city, you were timid and refused. Now I am guarding the gate of Xixia to ask them for whatever they want. How about we play together?" Cai You agreed Yes, Zhao Tun said.

"The prince is getting bigger and bigger, but I dare not!" Cai Youqiang said with a smile, but he thought in his heart that this Prince Yan is a robber.At that point, he dared to rob the road with a knife to collect money, and now he leads people to Xixia to block the door to ask for money. Those who don't know really think that they are loyal and patriotic!

"Lao Cai, don't call me lord, lord, I have a very close relationship with the third child of your family, and you and I are brothers." Zhao Tun let go of him angrily and said, "I just want to see you, brother, but you are too honest, you know How much did Xi Xia give to Wang Fu and Lao Tong? I’ll compare these horses with them. It’s just a horse’s tail hair!” He said angrily.

"Why, they have collected so much?" Cai You wiped the saliva off his face and stared.

"Of course, I have seen the gift list, so we can't be stupid and take the opportunity to rip off the Xixia people. After this village, there will be no shop. Otherwise, why would I lead the army from east to west? I am the prince , The official has come to an end. I can only get some private money." Zhao Tang burped, and his feet were unsteady.Almost fell, Cai You hurriedly supported him.

"Oh..." Cai You looked at Tong Guan, who was still chatting with everyone, and there was a hint of resentment in his eyes. This old boy only cares about eating for himself, and Wang Fu is not a good guy, so he refused to let me know. , but let me come forward to release water in the peace talks, it is really a good idea.

"Old Cai, get on the horse!" Just as Cai You was in a daze, when Jian Xi led a white horse over, Zhao Tang tugged at his sleeve and said.

"What a horse!" Cai You didn't express his opinion, but Tong Guan called out first. He took a lantern and took a closer look. The horse was completely white, with no stray hairs visible. Its shoulders were as high as its ears, and its rabbit head had round ears. With a broad chest and a thin waist, and slender limbs, he is indeed a steed, not as good as his own horse.

"That's right, the lord has taken care of it!" Cai You didn't know horses, but seeing that the horse was equipped with gold saddles and silver stirrups, and the restraints were also inlaid with gold and silver, he knew that the price was expensive, so he smiled and bowed to the lord.

"Hehe, I actually like this horse too, but I like black ones and don't like white ones. You, Lao Cai, are white, and your clothes are also white. It's just right for you to ride!" Zhao Tun smiled back.

"Haha, the prince's words are interesting, so thank you for your kindness!" At this time, Cai You's guards also changed their horses. He got on his horse, took the whip from his entourage and smiled with a pun, expressing his understanding. meaning!

. . . . . .

Seeing off Cai You and Tong Guan, Zhao Tun returned to his room, lying on the soft couch without changing his clothes or taking off his boots, Jian Xi hurriedly washed a hot towel and wiped the prince's face, and called someone Quickly make a bowl of hangover soup for the prince.

"Jianxi, come here!" Zhao Tang had drunk a little too much today, his tongue curled up, and he called him with his tongue out.

"Second Master, I'm right here!" Jian Xi promised and turned around.

"Jianxi, do you think I'm a good person or a bad person?" Zhao Tang turned over, looked at Jianxi with drunken eyes and said.

"Second Master, of course you are a good person, have you heard some gossip?" Jian Xi frowned, and glanced at the little yellow doorways in the room, and they quickly lowered their heads in fright.

"You didn't tell the truth, you said that I was cheated all day long, am I not a bad person?" Zhao Tang said with a wry smile.

"Second Master, I don't understand some of the things you do, but I think what the prince does is good for the country and the people, and those who deceive are bad people. No!" Jian Xi knelt down and pinched his head gently to the prince and said.

"Hey, you have a conscience, you know you don't cheat good people!" Zhao Tang said, patting Jian Xi's face.

"Second Master, you gave Cai Dafool ​​a hundred horses today, and I'm afraid you're going to get them back from him?" Jian Xi asked everyone in the room to retreat, and said with a smile as he took off his boots for the prince.

"Your boy has made progress, and you can see the way!" Zhao Tong moved his body to make himself lie down more comfortably, "That Tong Guan and Cai You were originally a nest of snakes and rats, and they entered the city at the same time and lived together , They made it clear for us to see, and they seemed to put pressure on us to demonstrate, but they actually wanted to get our bottom line!"

"Second Master already has a countermeasure?" Jianqi asked curiously.

"Jianxi, you are very useful, don't be too lazy, you have to use your brain, how are those people selling?" Zhao Tong said.

"I've already met with shopkeeper Zhang, and the discussion is almost done, and now I'm starting to contact their family members!" Jianxi said.

"Jianxi, you must pay attention to this matter. This is not only a matter of making money for us to raise military expenses, but also related to the future. The money must be made beautifully, and the affairs must be handled properly. Not only must it cooperate with this negotiation, but also Lay a solid foundation for the future!" Zhao Tong said in a low voice.

"Second Lord, are you setting up a big game, and there is a deep meaning in sending a horse to Cai You today?" Seeing the happiness, he thought about it.

"Since ancient times, those who do not plan for the whole world are not enough to plan for a moment; those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to plan for a region." Zhao Tong said, "Since ancient times, those who do not consider long-term interests cannot plan current problems; those who do not consider overall interests, It is impossible to plan local problems well. People do not have long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries, just like the famous saying of Fan Dashi: born in sorrow, but die in peace."

"Indeed, we must consider the long-term and the overall situation when making a game, otherwise, we will suffer in the end!" Jianxi nodded, thinking about the things the prince did in Xiangyi when he was a child, it seemed out of place, and he also agreed with him. He doesn't have much relationship, but now that I think about it, not only is there a connection, but each of them is of great use. It can be seen that the game must be a long-term game, and the formation must be based on a long-term plan.

"Then why did the second master tell Cai You that we received gifts from Xixia? Aren't you afraid that he will tell the emperor? If the emperor knows about this, it will be bad for the second master!" Jian Xi asked again, he has always thought about this matter Do not understand why.

"Before Guan Zhong died, he made a will with Duke Huan of Qi, saying that the son Kai Fang was not suitable for use. Duke Huan of Qi was very surprised when he heard that, he said that Kai Fang was originally the prince of Wei, and he left the prince to serve me. What's wrong with such a person Jianxi, can you see it?" Zhao Tun touched Jianxi's head and said with a smile.

"If the prince of a country goes to give him the current person, then he is either sick, or he must think about getting more benefits from King Qi!" Jian Xilue said after a while.

"Well, got it? What the emperor is most afraid of is that he can't figure out what the minister wants and wants. If he doesn't understand this illogical thing, can he eat and sleep soundly? You must know that a person is greedy for glory and wealth. In his eyes, gold, silver, treasure, and land women are all normal and belong to the ranks that can be controlled. Think about it, I brought tens of thousands of people by myself and did things that the 10,000+ army of Tongguan couldn't do. How can I fight this battle if I don’t let His Majesty know that I made some money, and let him be suspicious of me all day long?” Zhao Tang said, “Besides, it’s not enough to let the emperor rest assured alone, he has to convince everyone! How many ministers are there who are not ordinary people who think about getting promoted and getting rich all day long? You are honest and honest all day long, so who can bear it, this does not meet the needs of stability and unity, how can they work with you!"

"Second master went crazy with wine and told Tong Guan and Cai You about accepting bribes from Xixia. Both of them are close ministers of the Holy Majesty, and they are at odds with the Second Master, so it will definitely reach the ears of the Holy Majesty. Now we are facing peace talks In order to achieve his goal, Er Ye had to cooperate with the two of them, so he did not hesitate to smear himself and show that he and them are on the same path, in fact, he is just seeking common ground while reserving differences!" Jianxi said.

"Hehe, this is the way of scheming, the emperor's mind, if you can understand these things, I will be at ease in what you do in the future!" Zhao Tong said happily, but Jianxi, who hadn't even touched a drop of wine, blushed . . . . . )
