The blind concubine married the prince, don't stand in the way

Chapter 387 235:

Situ Yi nodded, deeply agreeing: "Sir, you are right. I know in my heart that the Qin State is now strong on the outside and meddling in the middle, and internal fighting is getting worse. If it continues like this, a civil war may be inevitable. I will form an alliance with them. The king is of no benefit at all. On the contrary, if he cooperates with the Zhao family of the Qin State, he will offend Qi State even more. Qi State is now the most powerful in China among the Seven Kingdoms. If Emperor Qi really fully supports Feng's family, the king's chances of winning will be slim... "

"Moreover, if this king returns without success this time, he will not be able to explain to the people who support him, especially Liu Xiang. This old fox has been neutral all these years and has a wait-and-see attitude towards this king. Deliberately leaning towards the emperor, if this time... I'm afraid I can only watch him stand on the emperor's side. Sir, you should know that the power behind Liu Xiang cannot be underestimated, and it is unbreakable. The reason why this king has been unable to Going up to a higher level is largely due to the lack of support from him and the people behind him, his position is crucial, if this king returns empty-handed this time, wouldn’t it be..."

Not worth the candle!

No, got nothing!

Zhou Zheng pondered for a while, then said with a little hesitation: "My lord, Zhou has a suggestion, I don't know..."

Seeing Zhou Zheng like this, Situ Yi hurriedly said modestly and politely: "Sir, it's okay to say, there is nothing that cannot be said between you and me!"

Zhou Zheng didn't keep his eyes open, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is nearly fifteen years old now, and is about to reach the age when you can get married. Zhou heard that Liu Xiang's family has a granddaughter from the first line, who is now thirteen years old. She is deeply loved by Liu Xiang, and the Liu family has always raised this girl who was born as a queen!"

Situ Yi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, squinted his eyes slightly and said: "There is such a girl, the Liu family has been hiding it, few people can see it, this king has seen it, but it was two years ago, and she was still a girl at that time. The little girl in her early ten years is still two years away from Jiji, and she is indeed about the same age as His Majesty. It is understandable to say that the Feng family and the Liu family have this plan. No wonder Liu Xiang's attitude is obviously biased toward His Majesty recently... ..."

Zhou Zheng nodded and said: "During the time of the first emperor, the Liu family and the Feng family had a rift because of the grievances between the Empress Dowager Feng and the late Concubine Liu Gui, so all these years, Liu Xiang just sat and watched the prince seize power step by step but never helped him, but Liu Xiang This person has always been stubborn, he values ​​orthodoxy very much, and he is unwilling to support the prince. Now if the queen mother shows her favor and takes the position of queen as her sincerity, and the situation turns around, Liu Xiang will definitely express her support for your majesty. If so, the prince will definitely There is no doubt that you will lose. You must know that in the battle of the court, no matter how great the foreign aid is, it is not as important as the internal support of the court. The Liu family has ruled the Kingdom of Shu for decades, and Liu Xiang is the elder of the three dynasties, and the powerful forces behind him are intertwined , the military also has a lot of their own people, these are people like the prince who you can't win with all your efforts, if he expresses his support for His Majesty, plus Feng Xila's foreign aid... the prince is in danger!"

Hearing this, Situ Yi looked at Zhou Zheng solemnly, frowned and asked, "Sir, you have said so much... What exactly do you want to say, what exactly is the proposal you just said?"

Zhou Zheng said again: "Zhou's proposal will embarrass the prince, and I'm afraid the prince will be displeased..."

Situ Yi said indifferently: "You say so!"

Zhou Zhengdao: "Since the Liu family wants a posthumous position, why not allow them a posthumous post, how about that?"

"Sir, you mean..."

Zhou Zhengyi asked pointedly: "Your Majesty, do you know why Qin Huang was able to quickly stabilize the throne and control the court after he ascended the throne?"

Situ Yi was taken aback.

Although it is not difficult for him to understand the affairs of the Qin State, he has heard a little bit about it, and with the investigation for this alliance, he also knows the general idea.

Emperor Qin Zhao Ding was originally the seventh son of the first emperor of the state of Qin. Because he was born to a low-ranking concubine, he was always disliked, so he was not very outstanding. , but too many people were dissatisfied, especially the civil servants, who did not approve of this down-and-out prince with a bad background, so not long after Zhao Ding ascended the throne, he issued an edict to welcome Xie's daughter into the palace. The wife became a noble concubine. Although this practice was criticized by others, the effect was immediate. Because of the Xie family's attitude and stance, the turmoil caused by the succession in the court quickly dissipated.

When Situ Yi thought about this point, he obviously understood Zhou Zheng's meaning: "Mister, do you want this king to follow suit?"

"Not bad!"

Situ Yi's complexion changed immediately, and he retorted with great disapproval: "Sir, this method is absurd. The princess and I are in love with each other, and we have supported each other through many years of adversity. Besides, there is a saying that a wretched wife will not go down to court, and demoting a wife as a concubine is true." But disregarding ethics, how can this king follow suit?"

Zhou Zhengdao: "My lord, Zhou also knows that this method is inappropriate, but your lord should understand that those who achieve great things don't care about small things. If your great cause fails, you will die. There are many people who died together, including the princess and yours. Two children, to be honest, the princess is useless to you now, while you love and respect the princess, please also consider the overall situation!"

Situ Yi wanted to refute something, but his words were blocked at the edge of his mouth. He opened his mouth weakly and was speechless for a long time.

He was silent for a long time, and then changed the topic a little weakly: "Leave this matter aside for now, sir, let's talk about the alliance with Qin, how should I respond?"

Zhou Zheng's tone was quite strong and he vetoed: "I can't agree, Qin is now taking advantage of the fire, knowing that the prince is desperate for foreign aid, so he opened his mouth, but the prince must not forget that we are still holding Qin's handle, and they So to be able to be so reassuring is because the prince is in a bad situation and asks them for help. He thinks that the prince will be wary, and he dare not do this in order to win their support. As far as I know, if the prince agrees, I am afraid it will happen Fuel their arrogance, but the prince thinks about it, now that the battle for the heir apparent in Qin is becoming more and more intense, and the battle between the crown prince and King Rong is so fierce, it is because they don't know that the heir that the emperor of Qin prefers is Zhao Yu, and now it is the two of them. When the power struggle was at its worst, if they knew about it, they would definitely point their fingers at Zhao Si, and the consequences would be hard to estimate, Qin Huang and Zhao Si should be clear about this!"

Hearing this, Situ Yi felt as if his brain had been hit hard, and he woke up suddenly. He nodded deeply and said: "Yes, I must not let them have whatever they want. Even if the matter cannot be negotiated, I must not show weakness!"

He's here to talk about an alliance, not to ask for help!

He was so dizzy by the recent situation that he even forgot this basic point!
Zhou Zheng thought of something, and said again: "Speaking of foreign aid alliances, there is one more thing. Zhou thought that the prince still has a way to go!"

Situ Yi hurriedly said, "Sir, please tell me!"

Zhou Zhengdao: "Recently, Ding Wang Hexuan of the Northern Han Dynasty has discussed with Prince Qin about the business relationship between the two countries. In the past, Han Chenghuang advocated sending troops to the south to take advantage of the war between Qin and Beiliang to wash away the humiliation of defeat in the past, but He Xuan has always opposed sending troops. The emperor must be dissatisfied, the enemy of the so-called enemy is an ally, the prince may consider joining forces with Han Chenghuang!"

Situ Yi was shocked when he heard the words, and said solemnly: "With the Northern Han Dynasty? But my country of Shu and the Northern Han Dynasty have always been at odds. Wasn't the alliance with the Northern Liang back then just to restrain the Northern Han Dynasty? It is also because of the close contacts with the Northern Liang Dynasty over the years. , and the Northern Han Dynasty often had conflicts, how can we turn hostility into friendship now?"

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "My lord's words are wrong. Between countries, there are no permanent allies, nor are there permanent enemies. Only interests are eternal!"

Situ Yi was taken aback.

That's right, he was thinking biased, how could he forget such a simple truth?

It seems that I have been really upset recently!

He smiled ashamedly, lowered his eyes and nodded sincerely, and said: "Because of many things, my king has been agitated recently, and my mind is a bit out of control. Mr. Lao, please remind me!"

Zhou Zheng hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands slightly, but said with a smile neither humble nor overbearing: "Since Zhou regards the prince as the master, it is his duty to provide advice and advice for the prince to answer questions, the prince is polite!"

After seeing off Situ Yi, Zhou Zheng let out a long sigh at the door, quickly holding the night outside, as if filled with endless melancholy.

People's hearts, where can they stand the test?
……

At the same time, another part of the palace is the Beiliang embassy.

Sitting behind the table, Mo Tianchou looked at the content of the letter he had just received, his stern face tightened a bit, but he quickly laughed, and laughed back angrily: "I really don't know how to live or die, you dare to threaten me! "

Seeing him like this, the subordinates at the side couldn't help asking: "General, what did the letter sent by Princess Roujia say? What made you look so good?"

Mo Tianchou sneered contemptuously, and said, "It's just some arrogant words!"

Unpredictable looked puzzled.

Mo Tianchou said indifferently: "Don't worry about her, just jump over the wall in a hurry, by the way, what's the matter with King An?"

Mo Ke hurriedly replied: "His Royal Highness Wang An is seriously injured. Although he has woken up, he needs to rest in bed for a while!"

Mo Tianchou smiled meaningfully, and said slowly: "He is also cruel enough to himself, in order to clear the suspicion, he even lost half his life!"

Mo Ke raised his eyebrows: "The general seems to appreciate Wang An in words?"

Mo Tianchou sneered: "Appreciation? Heh, he is not worthy!"

Mo Ke looked puzzled, but Mo Tianchou didn't say much, he squeezed the paper in his hand, then stood up and said, "Let's go, it's time to see the hard-working His Royal Highness King An!"

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the table and walked to the door, and Mo Ke hurriedly followed.

Fang Shi's room was filled with a strong smell of medicine and a faint smell of blood.

And Fang Shi was lying on the bed half dead at this time, his face was pale, gauze was wrapped around his open chest and shoulders, and even his arm was injured. At this moment, he was resting with his eyes closed.

There was no one else in the room, because he didn't want anyone to disturb him here.

At this time, a voice sounded at the door: "General Zhen Guo!"

Fang Shi slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look, and saw Mo Tianchou walking in.

Fang Shi frowned.

Mo Tianchou came over and sat on the stool in front of the bed, looking up and down at Fang Shi's appearance, quite playful.

Fang Shi frowned in displeasure, and said lightly: "General Mo came here at this time, isn't it just to see the king's injury?"

Mo Tianchou was noncommittal, and asked: "His Royal Highness Wang An thinks, why is this general here?"

Fang Shi frowned and remained silent.

Mo Tianchou didn't show off, and handed Fang Rou's letter to him: "This was sent to the general by Princess Roujia just now, may His Highness King An have a look?"

Fang Shi frowned more and more, but after thinking about it, he raised his hand with difficulty, took the letter, and opened it slowly.

After reading the content, his complexion is also a little bad.

Mo Tianchou said with a half-smile: "His Royal Highness Wang An is probably very regretful now? If he had known that the Qiyang Palace still has such strength, he shouldn't have given up on Qiyang Wang earlier!"

Fang Shi chose to cooperate with them and let go of Fang Xu. Although there were many reasons, one of them was because the military power of the Qiyang Palace was seized, and Fang Xu came to the Qin State in spite of his will. Even if he went back, he would be punished. Yes, and Fang Shi, who protected him, will also be questioned. He is suppressed now, and he is fighting for power with his brothers. This person is acting extreme, and sooner or later he will cause bigger things, and Fang Shi can't be alone, he can only get rid of this disaster before he drags himself down.

Originally, he had planned this, and when Mo Tianchou approached him, it was in his favor.

Anyway, Prince Qiyang's mansion is useless.

But now...

Fang Shi didn't deny it, just put down the paper slowly, and laughed at himself: "Regret or not, this king has no choice, right?"

"That's true!"

From the moment he turned his back on Fang Xu, he was doomed, he had no way of turning back, and could only stand with the Mo family!
As he said that, he couldn't help chuckling and said, "I'm afraid Fang Xu would never have imagined that in the end, he would be sent to a dead end by your good brother, and he might die with peace of mind!"

Fang Xu Fang Shi is a good brother. For so many years, Fang Shi has been able to gain a firm foothold among a group of brothers, and even has an even greater advantage. The help of Xu and Qiyang Palace, although Fang Xu has his own considerations, he wants to support someone of his own to become the throne, so as to further consolidate the status of Qiyang Palace, it is undeniable that it is also because of brotherhood, although Fang Xu has a bad personality Xiangyu, but he didn't say anything to this cousin and cousin.

Now, Fang Shi tragically betrayed her and fell into the palace of the Prince of Chu, so she was sure to die!

Fang Shi didn't say a word about this, and after a moment of silence with his lips pursed, he looked at Mo Tianchou, gritted his teeth slightly and said, "I just hope that General Mo will not forget what you once said!"

Mo Tianchou raised his face slightly, and said very seriously: "Your Highness King An, you can rest assured, I, Mo Tianchou, will do what I say, and I will never forget a word I said!"
