The prince of Chu woke up faintly.

He was rescued.

"Brother Wang is awake?" Ning Qi said: "How do you feel?"

At this time, he looked like the prince of Chu was even more miserable, with more than a dozen wounds on his body.

"It's okay." The prince of Chu was no longer as angry as before, and even looked at Ning Qi without any hostility.

"Thank you, Lord Xue, for your wonderful help." The prince of Chu said to Xue Che.

"Your Highness, you are polite." Xue Che said: "Your Highness is in the hope of Chu State, and Che dares not do his best."

This is true.

The Crown Prince Li Xuanqi, the Crown Prince of Chu, was still outside Zhenxi City at this time, leading dozens of generals to look at the city and refuse to leave, waiting for the latest news from the Crown Prince.

This situation is very clear. If Yue Kingdom does not release Prince Chu, they will do their best to attack the city.

"I'll tell Lord Li Xuanqi now that the Crown Prince is no longer in the way." Xue Che said: "In addition, it must be stated that the Crown Prince has never been captured, but has just fainted due to injury. For morality, our country of Yue will take you to the city for treatment."

After saying that, Xue Che went out.

In the room, Prince Chu and Ning Qi were left.

"You really colluded with Futu Mountain and murdered my father?" Prince Chu said: "Concubine Yan, are Yan Liang really the murderers?"

Ning Qi nodded and said, "It was indeed Futu Mountain who murdered the King of Chu, and I had planned it for a long time. I was just right. I originally wanted to continue the death of the King of Chu to stage a shocking drama and make unparalleled achievements. As a result, Brother Wang also saw it and almost fell into a catastrophe."

Prince Chu said, "Then Concubine Yan and Yan Liang?"

Ning Qi said: "I don't know that these two people are from Futu Mountain, and I don't even know how the King of Chu died. I only know that my arrow is a signal. When my arrow explodes above the King of Chu's head, he will suddenly die."

Prince Chu recalled the death of King Chu.

It was so terrible, with blood gushing wildly, and countless dense holes appeared on the back of the head and neck.

In fact, this was bitten by countless insects, but it looked like countless holes that were blown out.

Prince Chu sighed: "Actually, someone has hinted at me. What my father did in his early years angered His Majesty the Emperor. In recent years, there have been huge conflicts in the territory of Futu Mountain. The father is obedient on the surface, but he refuses to give in his heart."

Why does Futu Mountain still have territorial conflicts with Chu State?

The territory of Futu Mountain is a high-altitude lake called Fuhai, bordering several countries, including Chu State.

But for some reasons, the water level in the floating sea has been rising, and it has risen several feet in just ten years.

But Futu Mountain is very domineering. As long as the place is flooded by the floating sea, it is the territory of his Futu Mountain.

In other words, the Futu Mountain embezzles the territories of several countries every day. The Chu State is located in the southeast of the Futu Mountain, and the terrain is relatively low, so the area submerged by the floating sea is the largest.

Of course, the King of Chu was unwilling to do so, so he had to build embankments on the border to prevent the spread of the floating sea.

During the several negotiations with the King of Chu, Futu Mountain broke up even though it was not happy.

The prince of Chu said: "Ning Qi, can I ask you a question?"

Ning Qi said: "Please say it.

The prince of Chu said: "Did you have a secret agreement with His Majesty the Emperor?"

Ning Qi said nothing.

The prince of Chu said: "What secret agreement?"

Ning Qi still said nothing.

Although Ning Qi didn't say anything, the prince of Chu seemed to have already obtained the answer.

"Accepted the canonization of the Emperor of the Great Yan Empire, and changed from King Yue to Prince Yue of the Great Yan Empire?" asked Prince Chu.

He knew this was not difficult because he had received rumors, and even the envoys of the Great Yan Empire tried to test the King of Chu repeatedly, but he refused.

It sounds like nothing from King Yue to Prince Yue, but the problem is very serious.

According to the original rules, the Great Yan Empire and the countries in the world formed the Great Yan Dynasty.

The empire is the common ruler, and the vassal states are brothers.

Once King Yue is changed to Prince Yue of the Great Yan Empire, it means that the Kingdom of Yue has become a vassal state of the Great Yan Empire.

The vassal state and the vassal state are not the same concept.

Give an example.

The princes of the vassal states basically have the final say in their own country, and the emperor of the Great Yan Empire has no right to decide.

But once it becomes a vassal state, the crown prince of this country needs to be enthroned by Emperor Da Yan.

Even more than that, in the end, the prime ministers of vassal states may be sent by the Great Yan Empire.

Of course, this point has actually taken shape in Yue Kingdom.

In order to protect himself, Ning Yuanxian asked the Zhu family for help. From then on, Zhu Hongzhu became the Xiangfu. On the surface, he was a minister of Yue, but the one who was truly loyal to the Great Yan Empire.

The prince of Chu said, "Ning Qi, you are the initiator."

Ning Qi said: "What can I do when I change my brother Wang's position?"

Chu sighed.

Yes, can he do better if he is in Ning Qi's position? No.

Ning Qi has done a good job.

The majesty of His Majesty is so terrible.

Moreover, the new policy of the Great Yan Empire is almost completed, the revocation of the Shangshu Desk is imminent, and the reorganization of the cabinet is in full swing.

After the new policy was completed, the imperial power was highly concentrated.

The national strength of the Great Yan Empire will rise to another level.

As long as His Majesty the Emperor is willing, he can beat more than three vassal states around him at the same time.

When His Majesty the Emperor set his eyes on Ning Qi, can he resist it?

The Crown Prince of Chu said something that he did not say after hesitation, but the meaning was already very obvious.

The death of the King of Chu was ostensibly a collusion between Ning Qi and Futu Mountain to murder.

However, the person who really killed the King of Chu was... His Majesty the Emperor!

Without His Majesty the Emperor's acquiescence, Futu Mountain would not dare to take action.

The Crown Prince of Chu said: "Twenty years ago, the father was in the middle of Jiang Li and the emperor. After Jiang Li was destroyed, he took the opportunity to send troops to annex the two provinces of the Daqian Kingdom. Although he later gave up another province, he still angered His Majesty the Emperor. In fact, in my heart, when Jin Jun retreated and the King of Wu retreated, I felt that the war should end. I had thought of admonishing my father to formally negotiate with Yue and let you cede the land of two or three hundred miles at will. But I didn't say it, because I knew my father firmly disagrees."

Of course, the King of Chu would not agree. This person's greed for the land was simply no limit.

Ning Qi said: "Brother Wang, the world is about to change! In the next ten or twenty years, the battle for hegemony by princes is no longer the mainstream, and how to survive in groups is the most important thing."

The prince of Chu was silent.

After the Great Yan Empire destroyed Jiang Li, it did not immediately unify the world. Instead, it took advantage of this huge victory to carry out the new policy reform and digest the fruits of Jiang Li's victory.

At this time, the imperial emperor focused on the domestic and indulged in the vassal states outside.

That's why Chu and Yue competed for hegemony in the south.

Now that the new imperial policy has been completed, the attitude towards the countries in the world will be completely changed.

Because for the Great Yan Empire, the time has come to unify the world.

Directly against the emperor?

That is impossible, it is completely seeking death.

It is impossible for Hao to be annexed directly if he does not resist.

So Ning Qi is right, the world has changed.

The wars and contradictions of the countries in the world are not the mainstream. The only mission is to unite to keep warm and resist the annexation of the empire.

"Ning Zheng is good..." Ning Qi said: "He has an iron will, and he has a great sense of magnanimity, and has a huge determination to solve domestic hidden dangers. He is fully demonstrated by the fact that he is a big country and cooks young people. But he is too straightforward. Once he is allowed to inherit the throne, he will definitely choose to directly fight against Emperor Da Yan. By that time, the foundation of Yue Kingdom for hundreds of years will be no longer guaranteed."

"Shen Lang..." Prince Chu.

Ning Qi said: "Shen Lang is a genius and is almost omnipotent. But at least he cannot do it now, and he cannot change the dangerous situation of Yue Kingdom. The power of wisdom is limited, and this person has no ambitions and only cares about his own pleasure. He ignores the things tomorrow and the things after tomorrow. Therefore, he is far from worthy of being an opponent of the Great Yan Empire, and he... cannot save Yue Kingdom."

Prince Chu hesitated for a long time and said, "The Emperor of the Great Yan Empire is old, and the prince needs to transition and buffer ascend the throne. Is this an opportunity?"

This is deeply said.

Ning Qi said: "It's hard to say. Brother Wang, your performance today is perfect. But the prince of the Great Yan Empire is only better. He has been alone for more than fifteen years. Instead, I have another kind of worry. After the new emperor takes office, he will establish his authority, kill the chicken and scare the monkey, and choose one of the vassal states to take action. At this time, whoever resists the will of the new emperor will be in trouble. I don't care about others, but whether my Yue Kingdom is the first to be the first to be a successor. But if Ning Zheng succeeds to the throne, he will make the last to be a successor."

The meaning in this sentence is even deeper.

Ning Qi followed the emperor and did not make a head-on bird.

Then who will make this pioneer?

King of Wu? King of Xin Qian?

Or is it the most powerful King of Jin among the vassal states today?
