The middle-aged Taoist priest's face darkened when he heard this, and he asked with anger in his words: "I wonder why my nephew said this?"
The young man smiled slyly and said, "Uncle, my nephew just wants to make a joke with you."
The middle-aged Taoist priest glanced at him and warned: "My dear nephew, don't make such a joke casually. If it spreads, it will be a crime of genocide!"
"The crime of genocide? Haha." The young man laughed wildly: "Uncle, whose clan should you destroy?" Just look at Su Chengxuan's wagging tail and begging for mercy, like an emperor! I said this to his face. If he dares to bare his teeth, believe it or not, I can pull out all his teeth! "
The middle-aged Taoist priest shook his head thoughtfully, "My dear nephew, nothing can be done but overdoing it. As the saying goes, a rabbit knows how to bite when it is anxious! I heard that he has a son-in-law, who is really a talented person. This Su Chengxuan's ability to escape death and successfully recover the country is all due to this person!"
The young man heard the sound and said arrogantly: "Uncle, what kind of talent is he? It can only be said that he was lucky, so he met the two losers Xiong Ze and Han Fei, and he took advantage of it!" "
The middle-aged Taoist priest slowly frowned. Seeing that the young man looked completely different from before, he reminded him: "Xiannephew, you said that Xiong Ze and Han Fei are useless, but they know they are useless." The tens of thousands of black-armored soldiers in our country are not any worse than our rattan-armored army in Qi, right? In the end, didn’t they all die under Zheng’s Tianquan City!”
The young man said with a look of disdain: "Uncle Emperor, haven't you ever heard that a soldier is a bear and a general is a bear? In fact, those black-armored soldiers did not die at the hands of Zheng Guo's consort, but died at the hands of Xiong Zehe. Among Han Fei's stupid commands, if I had been in charge of this battle at that time, I would never have made the decision to let the heavy armored cavalry attack the city. It was a stupid decision to use my own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strong points. !”
"Oh!" the middle-aged Taoist priest said with great interest: "Then tell me, if it were you who were in charge of this siege, what kind of strategy would you use to capture this city?"
The young man thought for a while and said: "First of all, I will deploy the heavy armored cavalry to the outside of Tianquan City to use the heavy armored cavalry's expertise in attacking and killing enemies on the battlefield. As for attacking Tianquan County! Uncle Emperor, no I'll tell you, this time when I came to see you in the State of Zheng, I deliberately took a detour from Tianquan County into the territory of the State of Zheng, just to see the battlefield where the Chu and Zheng armies were fighting outside Tianquan County. If I had been in charge of the Chu army at that time, , I only need to mobilize a small force to dig a gap in the Daling River hanging alone twenty miles outside Tianquan City, and let the water from the Daling River pour into Tianquan City. Then I can capture the only remaining city of Zheng State without any blood. Lonely city!"
"Good! A wise nephew with great talent!" The middle-aged Taoist priest couldn't help but praise loudly, and then he sighed: "It's a pity that Emperor Xiong Ze of Chu has no skill in recognizing people, so he sent Han Fei, who has the name of a general but no title of general. How can a talented man command the Chu army to be invincible? It is really that one general is incompetent and will kill the three armies!"
The young man smiled slightly and said humbly: "Uncle, thank you. My nephew came from Qi this time and brought a secret letter from the Queen Mother and my father to the uncle. I want to give it to the uncle to read."
The middle-aged Taoist priest stretched out his hand and said, "Oh! Bring it."
The young man immediately turned to the door and shouted, "Bring in the box I brought from Qi State." Someone outside the door immediately responded: "Yes, young master." "
In the blink of an eye, a guard came in carrying a small purple sandalwood box. He walked up to the young man first, bowed and called, "Young Master."
The young man stood up and took the box, and at the same time said to the guard: "You go out first." Then he turned around and walked to the middle-aged Taoist priest with the box in his hand, and said respectfully: "Uncle, the letters from the Queen Mother, Grandma, and the Emperor are all in this box." inside."
The middle-aged Taoist priest glanced at him doubtfully and asked, "Do you need such a big box to pack two letters?"
The young man blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Uncle, there are also generous gifts from the Queen Mother and Father."
"Oh!" the middle-aged Taoist priest laughed in response: "What kind of treasure is it?" As he said that, he opened the lock with a click, opened the lid of the box, and saw a thick stack of silver notes in the box. The middle-aged Taoist priest was stunned for a moment before he picked up the two letters and asked the young man, "My dear nephew, why did you bring so many banknotes here?" "
The young man smiled and said: "This is the generous gift from the Queen Mother and the Emperor to the Emperor's uncle!"
The middle-aged Taoist priest wondered: "Isn't it always delivered after the Chinese New Year every year? Why is it so early this year? Besides, there are more than one million taels of silver notes in this box."
The young man smiled and explained: "Uncle, didn't my nephew tell you? This is not a yearly rule given to you by the imperial court, but a gift from the Queen Mother and the Emperor!"
The middle-aged Taoist priest couldn't help but muttered: "Your father and the Queen Mother have never given me any extra money in these years except for the year. This time is really strange!"
The young man pointed to the letter in his hand and urged: "Uncle, before you come here, my father told me to read the letter first. If you have any questions after reading the letter, I will answer it for you one by one." answer."
''good. "The middle-aged Taoist priest nodded, chirped, tore open the seal on the envelope sealed with fire paint, took out the letter inside, and spread it out in front of his eyes with a clatter. After just one glance, he frowned. He raised his head and was about to say something to the young man. When someone asked, the young man quickly waved his hand, "Uncle Emperor, please finish reading the letter anyway. This is what the Queen Mother told me when I arrived. "
The middle-aged Taoist priest thought for a while, then he tore open the seal on another envelope, took out the letter inside, looked at it briefly, and said angrily: "Who did they hear that I was peeking at the throne of Zheng Guo?" ?”
The young man sneered disapprovingly and said: "Uncle Emperor, there is a saying that if you want others not to know, you have to do it yourself. To be honest, my father knew about it when you first planned this plan!"
The middle-aged Taoist priest's face suddenly turned as cold as a piece of pig iron, and he angrily said: "Your father's hand is really stretched out! He actually planted spies among the confidants I brought from Qi State. It seems that I really need to be by my side. There’s a purge!”
The young man explained hurriedly: "Uncle, now you are using people to make plans, but you must not do things like killing each other. Besides, since those are your confidants, how can your father accept spies?"
The middle-aged Taoist priest bit his cheek and said bitterly: "Emperor's nephew, I'm not afraid that your father will come to ruin my affairs, but think about it, these people can be used by your father and can also be used by others. Maybe Su Chengxuan is on guard against me now!"
The young man smiled and waved his hand, "Uncle, you are really worrying too much. In fact, this news was not leaked from you, but was secretly reported to my father by the informant who was previously placed there by the emperor in the current Zhengguo court. My Majesty, this is all I have to say, please forgive my nephew for not saying any more!"
"Boom!" It was like a thunder exploded in the ears of the middle-aged Taoist priest, making him dizzy. He did not expect that he had done such a secret thing, but now it seemed that everyone knew about it!
The young man on the side saw that his uncle's face suddenly turned pale, and cold sweat seemed to be flowing from his temples. He hurriedly put down the box he was holding, reached out to hold his arm, and asked repeatedly: "Uncle, are you okay?" Bar?"
The middle-aged Taoist priest shook his head, took out a silk handkerchief from his body, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and sighed: "Emperor Nephew, I thought about it and decided to give up this opportunity!"
The young man was shocked when he heard the sound and lost his voice: "Uncle Emperor, why is this? What a good opportunity this is. When Su Chengxuan calms down later, I'm afraid you will never meet him again in this life." Such a great opportunity!”
The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled bitterly and said: "Everything has its own destiny. This time is said to be an opportunity, but who knows if it is a trap?" Now I'm afraid that Su Chengxuan has already opened a big net in the city and is waiting for us to fall into his trap! "
The young man frowned and said, "I wonder why your uncle said this?"
The middle-aged Taoist priest glanced at the young man and said dejectedly: "Even your father, who is thousands of miles away, knows about this. Then Su Chengxuan, who is so close, is even more knowledgeable. If I do it forcefully, , I’m afraid I’ve fallen into his trap!”
The young man said helplessly: "Uncle Emperor, are you too cautious?" According to the secret report from his father's spy in the Zheng court, Su Chengxuan is currently very busy raising money for the army and is unaware of this matter. My father asked me to bring you a message, so that you can just go ahead and do it. He has now secretly mobilized all 20,000 of Qi's most elite Tengjia troops to the border between Qi and Zheng, ready to enter Zheng's territory to help you at any time. In addition, in addition to the Huitong, Tianbao, and Zhengyuan I brought, The three families all had 3 million taels of silver in their possession within the territory of Zheng. The father also transported 4 million taels of cash to Qufu County, which is close to Linhe County of Zheng. The money could be collected at any time after the emperor's uncle ascended the throne of Zheng. Send someone to get it! "
After hearing this, the middle-aged Taoist priest silently stood up from the faucet chair, paced slowly in the room with his hands folded, and remained silent for a long time, as if it was really difficult to calm down.
Seeing the situation, the young man became even more anxious and tried to persuade him: "Uncle, if you can make up your mind and start a rebellion, my nephew is willing to stay with you until you ascend to the throne of Zheng." When I return to Qi Kingdom, my father has said that if there is an emergency, let me decide whether to stay or go on my own!"
The middle-aged Taoist priest suddenly stopped in front of the young man, looked at him, and said with suspicion: "My nephew, it seems that you are more concerned about this matter than the emperor's uncle. Why is that?"
The young man was suddenly startled when he heard this, and he smiled and said: "Uncle Emperor, people in the Ming Dynasty do not speak secretly. When Lu Shangshu and I attended a poetry conference held in Jin State a year ago, we fell in love with a man with a light body, bright eyes and white teeth. Later, after sending people to secretly inquire, we found out that she was Princess Qingfeng of Zheng State, her name was Su Xingran. The people who inquired said that not only was this girl beautiful, but her kung fu was unparalleled. , according to people who have seen him perform kung fu, this woman is most likely the disciple of the Demon Sword God Ni, which has been rumored for a long time in the world, because many of the sword techniques she uses are similar to those of the Demon Sword God Ni. The sword skills are very similar, but it's a pity that this girl was engaged to the sixth prince of Chen Kingdom a few years ago!" At this point, the young man couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh." The middle-aged Taoist priest laughed and said, "My nephew, you want to stay and wait until I ascend to the throne, and then let me give you this beauty?"
The young man hurriedly bent over and arched his head and said with a smile on his face: "My nephew has this intention, and I hope your uncle will make it happen!"
The middle-aged Taoist priest stretched out his hand to smooth his long beard, and reminded with a smile: "This is not good. If the princess finds out, she will not hold a grudge against me! Besides, this is a flower with thorns, and it might even give you a hand. It hurt!"
Hearing this, the young man put away the smile on his face and turned into a ferocious look. He said with a ferocious smile: "She is a ruined flower. How can I let her be my concubine? At best, she can be treated like me." Just a spleen girl. As for whether she is willing to obey me or not, at that time, the life and death of her parents, siblings, were in your hands. Even if she wanted to be a chaste and righteous woman, she could not ignore the lives of her parents, siblings. Life, right?"
''Haha, that's not necessary! "The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and said: "The emperor's uncle has been idle in the Taoist temple these years. He has only studied two things deeply. One is practicing martial arts arrays, and the other is formulating the colorless and tasteless Ecstasy Powder. Medicine, as long as you let her take this medicine, even the most chaste woman will instantly become a slut that you can do whatever you want! "
"Ah! Such a good thing!" The young man opened his mouth in surprise, dumbfounded!
The middle-aged Taoist priest said proudly: "You will follow the emperor's uncle to the Qunfang Garden in Guanli later. There are all quite beautiful women that the emperor's uncle recently collected in Zheng State. Among them is Lu Jun, the commander of the Zheng State's imperial army. My wife and daughter, these mother and daughter can be said to be the best among all the beauties in Qunfang Garden, and they serve your uncle as happily as gods every night!"
The young man was so envious that he almost drooled with envy, and praised repeatedly: "Cousin, you are so awesome. You even got the wife and daughter of Lu Jun, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, who was famous in Zheng State. My nephew is really impressed by you. The whole body fell to the ground."
"There, there!" The middle-aged Taoist priest waved his hand and was about to say something modest. When he turned around, he saw Lao Wu standing outside the door with a large piece of paper filled with words in his hand, hesitating and looking like he wanted to enter. He didn't dare to go in, so he immediately put on a straight face and asked, "What's the matter?"
Old Wu Wenting quickly walked up to the middle-aged Taoist priest in three or two steps, bent down and held the large piece of paper full of words to him with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty, this is just returned by the spies we sent down the mountain. The Zheng Guo government's arrest order, my subordinates are a little unsure of its meaning, so I sent it here to ask your Majesty to make a decision."
