Chen Zisu laughed and said meaningfully: "No matter how hard your Majesty travels, you won't be able to reach Jindu on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Why are you in such a hurry?"
I didn't say anything, picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp.
Chen Zisu and I have always known each other and talked about everything.
He continued: "Your Majesty, are you still worried about Jiao Xin?"
I shook my head and whispered: "Jiao Xin has outstanding military exploits and has not shown any disloyalty to me.
Why should I not believe him?
Mr.
Chen is overly worried."
Whenever I talk to Chen Zisu, Chu'er often remains silent.
She silently fills up the drinks for Chen Zisu and me.
Among my subordinates, only Chen Zisu can receive such preferential treatment.
Now I finally understand why Chen Zisu is unwilling to take up the post.
As a Prime Minister, with his current status, he can speak freely to me without any scruples.
Chen Zisu said: "The destruction of the capital of Jin has already become a foregone conclusion.
His Majesty suddenly changed his decision to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in Wangjiang City.
There must be something hidden."
I couldn't help but smile.
Chen Zisu knew me very well.
I asked, "Mr.
Chen, what do you think I am for?"
Chen Zisu said: "Your Majesty was fine at first, but suddenly he changed his decision when he heard that King Jingshan bound Fang Xuanyu, the king of Jin, to surrender to Dakang.
I think this is the reason."
Chu'er couldn't help but laugh.
I smiled and said, "Why does Mr.
Chen think I am?"
Chen Zisu said: "Your Majesty wants to see whether they surrender to you or to Jiao Xin."
I laughed loudly and said, "Mr.
Chen, do you think I, Long Yinkong, am so narrow-minded?"
Chen Zisu shook his head and said: "This matter has nothing to do with concern, it is a matter of principle.
It is reasonable for Your Majesty to show such solemnity to this matter."
My smile slowly disappeared and I whispered: "I can arrive at Jindu the day after tomorrow at the earliest.
By the time I arrive at Jindu, I'm afraid the King of Jin has already surrendered to Jiao Xin."
Chen Zisu smiled and said: "Zisu dares to say that Jiao Xin will not dare to accept the surrender of King Jin."
My eyes lit up: "What did Mr.
Chen think Jiao Xin would do?"
Chen Zisu said: "Zisu thought that Jiao Xin would put King Qi Feng of Jingshan and Prince Fang Xuanfu of Jin into prison to wait for His Majesty's disposal."
He paused before saying: "The whole world knows about the grudge between Your Majesty and Qi Feng.
Jiao Xin’s shrewdness will never do anything wrong.”
My eyes returned to the full moon, and I said leisurely: "I hope it is as sir said."
Chen Zisu said calmly: "There is something that I don't know whether to say or not."
I nodded to encourage him to continue.
Chen Zisu said: "Your Majesty now relies too much on Jiao Xin.
Because of this, you are afraid that during the battle, his prestige will continue to increase, he will quietly become powerful, and he will become a serious problem for you in the future."
I didn't deny it or admit it.

Chen Zisu said: "It's time to consider promoting other generals to share Jiao Xin's power in the army."
I sighed and said, "I'm afraid now is not the time.
Looking at the whole of Dakang, who can lead troops in wars better than Jiao Xin?"
Chen Zisu smiled and said: "For the army, it is important to lead troops to fight, but support and supplies are equally important.
Zisu does not mean to split Jiao Xin's military power, but to completely separate military supplies and leading troops to fight, so that they can be used at any time. restrain him."
My eyebrows moved, and Chen Zisu said again: "Zisu already has a suitable candidate in mind."
I opened my mouth and asked: "Is it Gao Guangyuan?"
Chen Zisu smiled and said: "It is this person.
It seems that Your Majesty and I have thought of something."
I shook my head vigorously and said, "Although Gao Guangyuan is a suitable candidate, I'm afraid that he will take advantage of this opportunity to deliberately go against Jiao Xin.
Wouldn't we be self-defeating at that time?"
Chen Zisu smiled and said: "Although Gao Guangyuan is cunning, he sees things very clearly.
Even if your Majesty gives him the courage, he will not dare to do anything detrimental to the unification of Dakang.
What's more, Jiao Xin is not ordinary. figure."
I nodded and said, "I hope this won't arouse Jiao Xin's resentment."
Chen Zisu shook his head and said: "If I am not wrong.
After we arrive in Jindu, Jiao Xin will take the initiative to ask Ying to send troops to South Korea.
He has a grudge against South Korea for killing his father, and the idea of attacking South Korea to avenge his revenge has not been a day.
Now it is big In the west of Kang, only South Korea is still hanging on, not to mention that the time is ripe, and it is indeed time to deal with South Korea. " I put down my glass and said: "I once thought about appointing Gao Han as the commander of the attack on South Korea.
Jiao Xin has too much hatred for South Korea.
If he is allowed to lead the army there, it will probably cause countless killings."
Chen Zisu said: "Because of this, he should be allowed to go to South Korea."
I was startled, and immediately understood what Chen Zisu meant, and I couldn't help but sigh deeply.
Chen Zisu thanked him, stood up and said goodbye, "Zisu is going back first.
Your Majesty and your empress should rest early."
After Chen Zisu left, I stared at the wine glass in front of me for a long time.
After a long time, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Chu'er said: "With Jiao Xin's temperament, if he leads the army to capture South Korea, I'm afraid there will be a river of blood."
I sighed and said, "Chu'er, do you understand what Mr.
Chen said tonight?"
Chu'er nodded and said: "Mr.
Chen did think very carefully.
He asked Gao Guangyuan to take charge of military supplies.
His purpose was to make the conflict between him and Jiao Xin clear to everyone.
He suggested that Jiao Xin lead troops to capture South Korea.
Show Jiao Xin's ruthless side in front of all the soldiers, and" Chu'er suddenly stopped speaking and remained silent for a long time before saying: "Maybe Jiao Xin has no intention of rebellion, are we worrying too much?"
I smiled bitterly and said, "It's always cold at high places.
Now I understand this sentence more and more deeply."
Chu'er looked at me with confusion.
I picked up the wine glass and said, "Let's not talk about state affairs.
Come on, let's have a good drink together as husband and wife on this Mid-Autumn Festival night."
But I knew in my heart that even if Jiao Xin doesn't have the intention to rebel now, there is no guarantee that he won't in the future.
I must not Yu Cimiao, make all preparations and never let the tiger I raised turn around and bite you.
On the day he arrived in Jindu, Jiao Xin led his generals to greet him thirty miles outside the city.
This made me even more wary of Jiao Xin.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I strictly ordered the generals in Wangjiang City not to reveal my whereabouts, trying to catch Jiao Xin off guard.
Unexpectedly, he received the news before I arrived.
It seems that he has many confidants in the army.
After not seeing each other for many days, Jiao Xin lost a lot of weight.
But it didn't give people any sense of haggard at all.
Instead, it added a kind of coldness and toughness.
After years and blood, the passion and impulse of the past could no longer be found in his eyes, just like the deep love.
As quiet as a pond.
Jiao Xin said respectfully: "Jiao Xin didn't know that Your Majesty was coming, so he missed the opportunity to greet you from afar.
I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
I laughed and said, "You kid, you have traveled thirty miles and you are still so polite to me.
Get up quickly, I know your filial piety, don't let the generals suffer with you."
Jiao Xin then stood up together with the generals.
I asked Jiao Xin to go forward side by side with me.
Jiao Xin said respectfully: "Your Majesty didn't say you would come back after the Mid-Autumn Festival, why would you?"
His words were interrupted by my laughter.
I smiled and said, "Jiao Xin, do you still remember what I said in Kangdu last year?"
I didn't wait for Jiao Xin to answer.
I said again: "I said that if the Jin capital is destroyed, I will come to celebrate your success in person.
You have no words to say.
Since I said it, I will definitely do it."
Jiao Xin burst into tears and said, "It's rare that Your Majesty still remembers this little thing."
I looked at him with admiration and said: "Jiao Xin.
This is no small matter.
You captured the capital of Jin for me, which is equivalent to capturing the territory of Jin.
This is a great achievement through the ages.
I am very grateful to you in my heart." " Jiao Xin said humbly: "Your Majesty, Jiao Xin's ability to capture the capital of Jin was all due to your planning.
Jiao Xin definitely dare not take the credit."
I smiled slightly, what he said was quite appropriate.
Entering Jindu, you can see that the streets are neat and orderly.
Except for the broken walls on the outer walls and a lot of blood stains that will not be washed away in the future, you can still imagine the tragic battle that took place here not long ago.
Jiao Xinjie said: "Qifeng, the king of Jingshan, surrendered on his own initiative, which saved us a lot of losses.
Therefore, there was no large-scale fighting in the inner city, and the hostility of the people of Jin towards us was not as serious as expected." ” I sighed sincerely: "Of course, bloodshed can be avoided if possible."
Chen Zisu suddenly said from the side: "General Jiao, why are the streets in this huge Jin capital so deserted, not even a pedestrian can be seen?"
Jiao Xin smiled calmly and said: "Mr.
Chen doesn't know something.
This place has just experienced a war.
Although the people have survived by chance, the fear in their hearts will not go away easily for a while.
Moreover, our army has just taken over the capital of Jin, and we are worried that someone will gather to make trouble.
We have ordered the people of Jin capital to stay at home to avoid accidentally hurting innocent people."
Chen Zisu smiled and said nothing.
I pointed to the towering buildings in front of me and said, "That's the imperial city of Jin, right?"
Jiao Xin nodded and said, "Jiao Xin heard that His Majesty was coming to the capital of Jin, and he had already ordered people to clean up the Jin Palace.
Your Majesty can rest in the palace tonight."
I smiled and said, "I have heard for a long time that the Jin Palace is uniquely built and the exquisite gardens are stunning to the world.

Today I finally have a chance to appreciate it."
Jiao Xin said: "I'm afraid Your Majesty will be disappointed."
I looked at Jiao Xin in confusion.
Jiao Xin explained: "Jin Wang Fang Xuanjin heard the news that the outer city was destroyed, and knowing that the situation was over, he actually ordered people to set fire to the palace, intending to burn down the palace, and massacred the concubines in the palace.
When Jingshan King Qi Feng surrendered, the Jin Palace The fire is still not extinguished.
Although we have mobilized a lot of manpower to put out the fire, most of the palace has been destroyed, and many of the concubines and maids in the palace have been killed by him."
The palace wall has been seen ahead, and many places on the palace wall have traces of being blackened and burned by fireworks.
It seems that what Jiao Xin said is true.
We followed Jiao Xin to the well-preserved eastern part of the palace.
This building was not affected by the fire because it was separated by water in front.
Jiao Xin said: "Chu Yue Palace is well preserved.
Your Majesty and your empress can rest here tonight."
I nodded and said, "I want to meet King Jin and King Jingshan first."
Jiao Xin said: "I have them detained temporarily and are waiting for His Majesty's fate."
Jin Wang Fang Xuanzang's hair was disheveled, his expression was depressed, his dragon robe was torn in many places, and he looked extremely embarrassed.
On the other hand, Jingshan Wang Qi Feng was still dressed in royal attire, and he still had the demeanor of a king when he raised his hands and feet.
The two were escorted in front of me.
Fang Xuanyuan still maintained some courage and stood there, unwilling to bend his knees.
Qi Feng didn't dare to look at me, and knelt there obediently, waiting for resignation.
I blew the green leaves floating in the tea cup carelessly, and my eyes finally fell on Fang Xuanzhen's face: "How are you, Prince Jin?"
Fang Xuanjin sneered: "How can a prisoner below the rank be better?"
I couldn't help laughing, turned to Jiao Xin and said, "Give King Jin a seat."
Jiao Xin asked his sergeant to bring a wooden bench, but Fang Xuanyuan still stood there and hissed: "Long Yinkong, you can kill if you want, why do you need to do any tricks?"
I smiled and said: "Why should I kill you?"
Fang Xuanjin said angrily: "You occupied my palace, devoured my land, and robbed my people.
Now that your purpose has been achieved, what's the use of keeping me?"
I smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to have some integrity.
Since you want to die, I will grant you a favor and give you a drink."
The warriors under his command picked up the tray that had been prepared and brought it to Fang Xuanyuan.
Just now, Fang Xuanyuan looked like he was looking forward to death.
When the critical moment came, his face changed with fear.
He moved his hand tremblingly towards the wine glass, but when he reached it, he retracted it.
I laughed and said, "I thought you were really a warrior, but I didn't expect you to be greedy for life and afraid of death after all."
Fang Xuanjin's face was ashen, but he lost the courage to refute me.
I said coldly: "There is something I still don't understand.
If you don't launch this war against South Korea, it will be difficult for me to find an opportunity to deal with you.
Can you tell me what drives you to take risks?"
start this war" Fang Xuanzhen sighed sadly, his eyes falling on Qi Feng beside him.
He gritted his teeth and said, "It's not like I was instigated by this shameless person."
Qi Feng trembled and raised his head.
His eyes met mine and he immediately ran away in fright.
Naturally, I am different now than when I first met him, but he must have heard afterwards that I was the one impersonating him.
I said coldly: "Qi Feng, do you still recognize me?"
Qi Feng said in a trembling voice: "The guilty minister doesn't recognize him."
I burst out laughing and whispered: "You don't recognize me, but I can't forget you.

Someone will take Qi Feng to me and put him to death in Lingchi."
Qi Feng never thought that I would kill him.
He was so frightened that he lost his mind and said loudly: "Wait a minute."
I signaled the warrior to retreat and sneered: "What else do you have to say?"
Qi Feng said: "Your Majesty, do you want to rule the world as soon as possible?"
I said sarcastically: "Can you help me?"
Qi Feng said loudly: "Although I can't help you, you must have heard of Miao's treasure."
I smiled disdainfully and said: "Qi Feng, ah Qi Feng, when death is imminent, you actually used such a childish lie to deceive me."
Qi Feng said: "Your Majesty, this matter is definitely not a lie.
The Miao treasure is in South Korea, and someone has found its specific location."
I put down the teacup and said, "That person is you."
Qi Feng said: "If you spare my life, I may be able to help you find Miao's treasure."
I laughed and said: "King Jingshan is King Jingshan after all.
He can actually make up such a perfect lie at a critical moment of life and death.
I have to admire him."
Qi Feng heard that I still didn't believe him, so he bit his lip and said, "The jade pendant hanging around my waist was obtained from Miao's treasure.
If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can take it and have a look."
I nodded, and my men took off the jade pendant from Qi Feng's waist.
On the surface, there was nothing unusual about this jade pendant, but if I looked closely, I found that it was hollowed out with secret words.
In order to win my trust, Qi Feng obviously had no reservations anymore and whispered: "Your Majesty, place this jade pendant in front of the candlelight.
When it is reflected on the wall, a piece of writing will appear, and the signature is Miao Qiwu's name."
I smiled calmly and said, "Do you want me to believe you just based on your name?"
Even so, I still asked people to lower the curtains, light candles, and place the jade pendant in front of the candles.
The light shined through the jade pendant and onto the snow-white wall.
When I saw the writing clearly, the shock in my heart was beyond words.
This writing clearly follows the general outline at the beginning of Wu Jian Xuan Gong.
Others may not notice anything, but for me, it is definitely a shock.
I waved my hand, and everyone rolled up the curtains.
The light returned to the hall, the candles were extinguished, and green smoke curled up.
I quietly played with the jade pendant in my hand, but my expression was as calm as ever: "Who did you get this jade pendant from?"
"Obtained from a thief" "who" "If Qi Feng tells me frankly, I wonder if Your Majesty can forgive the sins committed by the guilty minister in the past."
Qi Feng lost no time in proposing conditions to me.
I nodded slowly and said, "I will have someone prepare a house for you in Kangdu.
You will naturally have a carefree life in the future."
Putting him under house arrest is the greatest kindness I have shown him.
Qi Feng said respectfully: "Your Majesty Duoshe, please show mercy.
To be honest, I got this jade pendant from a thief named Lianyue."
I couldn't help but feel shocked.
I haven't heard from him for a long time.
It turns out that he has never given up the pursuit of Miao's treasure.
Judging from this jade pendant, Lian Yue must have successfully found the location of Miao's treasure.
Qi Feng said: "I also accidentally captured this man.
He suffered severe internal injuries at the time.
One of my men was very good friends with this man and was stationed at the border of Han and Jin at the time.
Rescue him, maybe In order to thank my subordinates for their life-saving grace, Lian Yue accidentally leaked this matter.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
My subordinates understood that this matter was not trivial, so they stabilized Lian Yue and reported the matter to me overnight. " "Where is Lian Yue now?"
Qi Feng said: "I will imprison him in the dungeon of the palace."
I nodded: "Okay, as long as you tell the truth, I will definitely keep my promise."
My eyes turned to Jin Wang Fangxuan.
This trash is of no use to me, so I said deliberately: "Jiao Xin, how do you think we should treat King Jin?"
Jiao Xin pondered for a moment before saying: "Your Majesty, the King of Jin still has a certain status and influence in the hearts of the people of Jin.
I thought I could spare his life.
Treating him as a surrender can stabilize the fear of the people of Jin." secondly, it can show His Majesty’s tolerance to other countries.”
I laughed, turned to Fang Xuanzhen and said, "Did you hear what General Jiao said?
Is the King of Jin willing to surrender?"
Fang Xuanzhen shook his head vigorously and said: "Kill if you want, why insult me?"
The intensity of his words was obviously much worse than before, and everyone could feel the fear in his heart.
My expression suddenly turned cold, and I said sternly: "Drag me out and kill you."
Fang Xuanyuan was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs went weak and he knelt down on the ground: "I, I, I
willing" The surrounding ministers couldn't help but smile, they didn't expect that the King of Jin turned out to be such an unbearable person.
I sneered and said: "As the king of a country, how can you go back on your words?
You can't count the words you said, but the words I said in front of the ministers can't be counted."
No one thought that I actually wanted to kill Fang Xuanyuan.
Fang Xuanzhen fainted in fear.
I waved my hand, and my warriors dragged Fang Xuanyuan out.
The entire hall became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
I smiled and said, "Jiao Xin, do you know why I wanted to kill Fang Xuanjin?"
Jiao Xin whispered: "Wei Ju doesn't understand."
I smiled and said: "From today on, the Jin Kingdom will disappear from the territory of the Central Plains.
The people of the Jin Kingdom are the victims of Dakang.
They can never think about the past kings in their hearts.
Even if I am tolerant to him, Han, The kings of Qi and Han will not surrender and kill him.
I just want them to see it and make them feel scared from the bottom of their hearts."
Jiao Xin remained silent.
Chen Zisu smiled and said: "Your Majesty's majesty and strategy are indeed beyond the reach of ministers like us."
I laughed loudly and said, "When did Mr.
Chen learn to say flattery?"
The ministers laughed together.
I turned to Jiao Xin and said: "Jiao Xin has made the greatest contribution to the capture of Jindu.
How do you want me to reward you?"
Jiao Xin came out and said loudly: "I have only one request, and I hope your majesty will grant it."
"Speak out and listen" Jiao Xin said: "I ask for orders to attack Korea."
I laughed: "Jiao Xin, South Korea has gone through many wars and is riddled with holes.
Now there are civil wars in South Korea.
Even if we don't attack it, South Korea will collapse sooner or later.
You are my most outstanding general.
You What we need to face is a more powerful enemy, so let’s leave this matter to others.”
Jiao Xin said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I have selfish motives for attacking South Korea."
I naturally understand what he calls selfishness.
Jiao Zhenqi died in the hands of Koreans.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
For Jiao Xin, South Korea is his sworn enemy.
He will miss this opportunity to take revenge on South Korea.
Jiao Xin added: "A single spark can start a prairie fire.
South Korea has gone through war and is now at its weakest.
We should pursue the victory and completely destroy it.
If we give him a chance to breathe, we may miss the best opportunity."
I smiled and said, "I didn't say not to attack South Korea.
Gao Han has already asked me for orders to send troops from Yandi to attack the northern border of South Korea.
I have agreed to him."
Jiao Xin suddenly knelt down and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, as a human minister, Jiao Xin should relieve the king's worries.
As a human son, please give me this opportunity if you don't want to avenge your father."
I sighed: "Jiao Xin, I wanted you to plan a plan to deal with Qi and Han."
Chen Zisu spoke at the right moment: "Your Majesty, Ju Dao has an idea."
I looked at Chen Zisu.
Chen Zisu said: "Since your Majesty promised General Gao, but General Jiao is so eager for revenge, it is not as good as this.
Handu is in the center of South Korea, so the two generals will lead troops to march into South Korea from the north and south.
Firstly, it may form a response and speed up Korea's demise.
Secondly, it can also see which of the two generals can capture Handu first."
I smiled disdainfully and said: "A mere South Korea actually wants to work for my two generals.
If word spreads, wouldn't it be a joke to others?"
Chen Zisu said: "The Jin Kingdom has initially decided that your Majesty will not have any plans to march towards Qi and Han in the short term.
It will not take much effort to attack South Korea.
The two generals should treat this war against South Korea as a war."
Training."
Jiao Xin said: "Your Majesty, please grant Jiao Xin's wish for revenge."
I pondered for a long time, and then said: "Since you begged me like this, it can't be justified if I don't agree to it.
According to what Mr.
Chen said, you and Gao Han marched to South Korea from the north and south respectively.
Whoever attacks Handu first, I will take it."
Who gets the credit for this time?"
After everyone dispersed, I left Chen Zisu behind.
Chen Zisu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you have anything to ask me?"
I smiled and said, "Nothing can be hidden from Mr.
Chen."
I asked him to sit down and said, "Why did you just agree with Jiao Xin to attack South Korea?"
Chen Zisu smiled and said: "Jiao Zhenqi is his father, and the hatred for killing his father is irreconcilable.
Jiao Xin's reasons are perfectly justified.
Even if I don't say it, His Majesty will definitely agree to his request."
I said with some worry: "Jiao Xin's hatred for the Koreans is extreme.
I'm worried that his entry into Korea this time will cause anger and resentment, and blood will flow like a river."
Chen Zisu nodded and said: "Your Majesty is absolutely right.
I also thought that Jiao Xin was going to kill many innocent Koreans."
"Then you still suggest that he go?"
Chen Zisu smiled and said: "Jiao Xin took the initiative to join Korea.
On the surface, he wanted to avenge his father, but from another perspective, he wanted to take advantage of the situation to destroy Korea and make immortal contributions.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
If Korea is destroyed by his own hands, then he will His prestige in the army will reach a higher level.
Looking at the generals in the court, no one can compare with him. " I sighed and said: "So I don't want him to solve everything for me, and I don't want all the soldiers to think that he is invincible and that no one can match him
