Three days later, Lutai, Junlin Pavilion.
This building has five floors and is very special because it was the original hunting ground for the royal family and was enclosed. To this day, it is still a forbidden area for the common people.
And the location is excellent. Standing on the top floor, you can climb up and look far. There is a clear lake at your feet and continuous mountains in the distance. The scenery is extraordinary.
In the morning, Xiao Yuan arrived here.
Before he could enter the building, hearty laughter could be heard. King Ling strode forward, followed by Admiral Ye Gui. He walked to the front and back, unfolded his sleeves and robes, cupped his hands slightly, and said with a smile on his face: "Long time no see, brother King Qin. Farewell." You're alright."
For him to come out at this time is nothing more than telling Xiao Yuan that I know your whereabouts well.
Of course, Xiao Yuan also knew that he had arrived at Junlin Pavilion and how many people were accompanying him.
When the two kings met, etiquette was indispensable. He also cupped his hands and said with a smile: "That's good, that's good. Brother Ling Wang still has the same style."
"Huh? Brother Qin Wang is joking, time is not forgiving, you are getting old." King Ling said, and also stretched out his hand and said: "Brother Wang, please."
"please."
The two kings stood side by side, followed by Xu Hu and Ye Gui. Under the signal, Liang Yuan, Murong Hongye and other personnel stayed outside the building.
The Spirit King was over fifty, and his beard on his chin was already a bit gray, but he was full of energy, dressed in luxurious clothes, and his career as a perennial leader gave him an invisible aura in his movements.
This kind of temperament does not need to be deliberately created.
The two of them went directly to the fifth floor. There was a wooden railing outside the building. Standing on the railing, you could have a clear view of the mountains and rivers outside.
The scenery here is beautiful. The two kings are standing side by side, while Xu Hu and Ye Gui are waiting respectfully in the distance.
Looking at the mountains and rivers at his feet, the mountains in the distance, and the white mist shrouding them, the Spirit King couldn't help but say:
"Brother King Qin, look at this beautiful country, how spectacular it is. According to historical records, the ancestors of the Shang family once summoned the princes from all over the world to hunt in Luming Mountain and held a banquet for the ministers in Junlin Pavilion, which created the reputation of this building as the best in the world."
"According to the Jin Palace documents, the ancestors of the Shang family were hunting in Luming Mountain when they suddenly encountered a magical bird, suspected to be a phoenix, and pecked at the bluestone. The emperor then chiseled the stone and took out the beautiful jade. It was the imperial seal. I don't know whether it is true or not." Received far away.
After hearing this, King Ling said with a serious face: "It's true. Back then, the Shang family took this sacred jade and ordered the best craftsman in the world to engrave the words 'Ordered by Heaven' in order to pass down the inheritance for eternity. However, the royal family gradually declined. …”
He sighed for a while, and Xiao Yuan was happy and said: "The general trend of the world cannot be determined by a stone."
"Haha, what the king said is absolutely true." King Ling followed with a smile and said: "This is the royal land. It is a pleasure in my life to be able to cook wine with my brother Qin and talk about the world. Now, the wine has warmed up. Okay, brother Wang, please."
"please."
The two kings left the railing and returned to the hall, sitting across from each other a few tables apart.
The Spiritual King picked up the jug and poured a glass for each of them. At the same time, he said: "As people get older, they are no longer what they used to be. Sometimes, my children will also advise me, saying, Father, drink less wine. Drink less wine." Too much is not good for your health, but what fun is there in this life without alcohol?”
This is the preface that the King of Spirits is preparing to speak from the bottom of his heart.
Xiao Yuan understood in his heart, and with a hearty smile on his face, he said: "Brother Ling Wang has the right solution. Only good wine can relieve worries."
As he spoke, he also picked up the wine glass: "Come, you and I have a drink together."
"Brother Wang is open-minded, please." King Ling followed and held a cup.
He started by talking about some family matters, just to get closer to each other and have further heart-to-heart conversations.
While chatting, the Spirit King naturally turned the topic to business:
"Throughout history, our land of China has been invaded by foreign invaders. Without exception, they all paid a heavy price in the end and were driven out of the country by us. This is also the efforts of every monarch."
"For example, Duke Jing of Liang raised troops in Youzhou and began to conquer Beidi; Duke Jian of Chu rallied the barbarians and established Dongting and Cangwu; Duke Lingcheng wiped out the Eastern Yi and defended the national homeland."
"Although the princes are fighting against each other, this is also a civil war between brothers. When it comes to dealing with foreign enemies, our ancestors have always been unanimous in their determination and insisted that China should not be invaded."
"Just like the brother of the King of Qin, you also restored twelve cities and expanded the territory for thousands of miles, but you invaded the west outside the country's gate; King Liang Zhao also pacified the Northern Desert and established the territory of China."
"People who are not of my race must have different hearts. When it comes to the nation, foreign troubles are always greater than internal strife..."
He said a lot, and there was no doubt that he was setting the stage for what was to come.
Xiao Yuan has never denied the achievements of King Liang. When he destroyed Liang, he even had a conversation with the historian, saying that there is no need to be stingy with pen and ink, and that the life of King Liang can be written as he wants.
Although they are opponents, the contributions made by some princes to the nation are indelible.
Understanding what King Ling meant, Xiao Yuan thought about it for a while, and did not beat around the bush, but went straight to the point: "Brother Ling King, don't worry, there is no need to say more about foreign enemies. In the battle of Ling Kingdom to destroy Hu, Qin will I absolutely support it, and it’s even more impossible to do something that the world would despise.”
"Ah?" He hadn't brought it up before, but he didn't expect him to agree. King Ling was stunned for a moment, then put down his wine glass and cupped his hands and said: "Brother Qin Wang is really a righteous man. I use my heart as a villain to save gentlemen." In the belly."
He was obviously very happy in his heart just now, but his happiness and anger were not expressive.
"Brother Lingwang is serious." Xiao Yuan waved his hand, "In today's world, Qin Ling and Qin Ling each live in half the country. It is completely possible for them to live in peace. We are all from the Huaxia clan. There is nothing to say to others."
"This is very true." King Ling pretended to sigh, "The barbarians are rampant, causing unrest in the east. However, in the northwest of Qin, the same is true for the Rong and Di. If the foreign troubles last for a long time and become stronger, sooner or later they will spy on the Central Plains. Brother Qin Wang must not ignore this."
Although Xiao Yuan had promised that he would not add insult to injury, King Ling still hoped that Qin could fight Xirong, so that he would feel completely at ease.
Xiao Yuan smiled and said: "The incident in Xirong is indeed a hidden danger. I still have to decide whether to use troops."
He had already decided to send troops to Xirong, but it was impossible for him to tell King Ling. If the old fox secretly informed Xirong and informed him in advance, it would be a big deal.
This must be guarded against.
Seeing what he said, King Ling added: "If we can eliminate foreign troubles and make the land of China completely stable, then you and I can be called two emperors together, and there will be peace forever."
There are no two days in the sky and no two kings in the country. Once a river is drawn to rule, the nation will be divided over time.
This is a proposal to split the entire China into two.
In the general trend of the world, long-term separation is bound to unite, because no one among the war-torn people does not want unification.
Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and said: "It's too early to talk about proclaiming the emperor. Let's talk about it later."
