The Child Emperor

If there is a chance to do it all over again, the King of the East Sea will definitely say to the more than 150 noble children: "Stay by my side and live and die with me."

He deeply regretted it, not because he lost so many soldiers in vain, but because when he needed to employ people, he discovered that it was precisely those who were noble but timid as mice who were his natural allies.

"Actually, that's not called cowardice." The King of Donghai explained to Lin Kunshan, "It's like the house is on fire. Only the servants are brave and timid, but the master does not. The master is only calm and flustered, but no matter what, the master does not Rush into the fire, right? The Huns are the fire that burned over, and those noble children did not participate in the war because they felt it was unnecessary and humiliating their status. They were supposed to be generals who scolded Fang Zun, but they were treated as ordinary soldiers. "

"A lot of noble children actually participated in the war, and they were very enthusiastic." Lin Kunshan reminded with a smile.

"Yes, but look at who those people are? Most of them are concubines like Chai Yue, and the rest are just like Zhang Yanghao. They have the name of honor, but have no corresponding power. They rushed to put out the fire. , because they are not qualified to be 'masters'."

"Accidentally, the 'master' was burned to death, leaving only the East Sea King."

"Of course." King Donghai let out a long sigh. If there are still people to talk to, he doesn't need to complain to Lin Kunshan, "But you can't blame me entirely, Han Ruzi and Chai Yue also have to take part of the responsibility... Most of the responsibility, they Such a tragedy can only happen when the two did not treat these noble children as 'masters'."

"Even a qi person who has been practicing hard for ten years can't say it better than the King of the East Sea." Lin Kunshan raised his glass.

The wind was piercing outside, and the two were sitting in the house drinking by the fireplace. Whenever the wine was getting cold, the attendants next to them would immediately come over to re-boil the wine. They didn't bother the master at all. s eyes.

"He is very brave." Donghai Wang pointed to his entourage and said, "Take a piece of charcoal with your hand."

"Yes." The entourage immediately stretched out his hand to the basin of charcoal, and the King of the East Sea waved his hand until his palm touched the red-hot charcoal, "Enough."

The entourage stepped back, curling his palms so that the master could not see the traces of burns.

"Is there such a person around Han Ruzi?" Donghai King asked.

Lin Kunshan smiled and shook his head.

"He thought that he was qualified to be the master by winning a few followers? All he attracted were snobs, and all of them wanted him, such as Chai Yue. Following Han Ruzi was nothing more than to avoid the punishment of the Chai family. And what is the name of the little eunuch? Only by following Han Ruzi can you imagine that he is the chief executive. As for the soldiers of the trilogy, ha, it is a joke. They are just to feed themselves. Where can they be loyal? As long as someone is willing to come out The higher the price, they will all betray, without exception."

"How high can the King of the East Sea offer?" Lin Kunshan asked.

Donghai King's eyes were cold, "Do you think I can't hear sarcasm?"

Lin Kunshan put down his glass, "This is not a sarcasm, it's a real question. Right now is the time to hire people. I might be able to recruit some warriors in the city for the King of the East Sea, but I have to know how much the King of the East Sea is willing to pay."

The King of the East Sea stared at Lin Kunshan for a while, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, "By the way, I will ask for yourself."

Lin Kunshan raised his head and laughed twice, raised his glass and drank, and reached for the jug.

The King of the East Sea also stretched out his hand, blocking the back of Lin Kunshan's hand, "It's time for you to make a choice. The later you choose, the lower the price you can get."

Lin Kunshan kept his posture still, with a smile on his face, "I have been in the army for more than half a year, and I am called a military division, but General Zhenbei rarely asks me to discuss matters, he does not trust me. At this troubled time, I am here with Donghai. When the king talked about the wine, he had already shown my choice."

The King of the East Sea moved his arm and said with a smile, "It's not that Han Ruzi doesn't trust you, but he doesn't dare to use you. He was deeply influenced by Yang Feng, and he is far more jealous of those who watch Qi than he appreciates."

Lin Kunshan picked up the wine jug and filled the East Sea King first, and then poured the wine glass in front of him.

The East Sea King winked, and his entourage quietly retreated.

"The King of the East Sea admires those who watch Qi?" Lin Kunshan asked casually.

"How can I not appreciate someone who can deceive my uncle so much and regain his trust later? But I don't appreciate all those who look forward to it. I'm very disappointed by walking like I'm too immature, and the situation is slightly different. The changes didn't match the plan, so he panicked. What I admire is Your Excellency, and Chunyu Xiao."

"Haha, to be honest, last year's palace change was just a test by my teacher, so his old man didn't show up, and Bu Hengru was not a proud disciple of his teacher."

Donghai King laughed, not believing a word of Lin Kunshan's words, "What about this time?"

Lin Kunshan thought for a moment, "It's better to follow the trend."

The King of the East Sea said proudly: "The general trend is in the hands of a few people. I, the champion, Han Ruzi... Barely one, everyone wants to take advantage of the trend. Where are you better than others?"

Lin Kunshan said lightly: "The general trend is on several princes and grandsons, but the key to start the general trend is in the hands of those who watch Qi."

King Donghai didn't say anything because he didn't understand, but he didn't want to ask questions.

"Before I came to Broken Iron City, I reminded General Zhenbei to get ready, but he didn't take it seriously." Lin Kunshan took a sip of wine and chewed a piece of meat in his mouth, "Everyone is waiting, but as long as If that doesn't happen, the general situation is still in the palace and in the hands of the queen mother."

As long as the current emperor is alive, the East Sea King is just an ordinary clan child who has lost power. The death of the emperor is the key to unlocking the general trend.

The King of the East Sea couldn't help laughing, "I'm sorry, I've been talking to you very seriously, I didn't expect you to suddenly tell a joke."

"Hey, the real joke is the champion. General Zhenbei's reaction is too slow, but his movements are too fast. At this time, sneaking back to the capital will only make him a thorn in the eyes of the queen mother."

"How can you do it... Impossible, that's impossible. Last year, a group of palace maids and eunuchs defeated you."

"Follow the trend, King of the East Sea, those who look for Qi have been following the trend, and sometimes the 'shi' will run to us by itself. Is it accidental? Is it an accident? Is it a coincidence? Whatever you say, we can see it at a glance. value, hold on to it and wait patiently.”

"What are you waiting for?" The East Sea King had unconsciously become interested.

"Wait for someone who knows the goods."

Donghai King was stunned for a while, "You didn't tell Han Ruzi about this?"

"As the King of the East Sea said, General Zhenbei is only jealous but not appreciative of those who look for qi. I revealed a little bit of tone. He doesn't care about it, so I naturally want to stop. The King of the East Sea is different. You understand the value of those who watch for qi. You know how to cooperate with us. You are willing to listen to my advice, and you are as good as ever with Mrs. Cui. At the critical moment, you first thought of looking for me, but General Zhenbei pinned his hopes on a group of ordinary soldiers. "

The King of the East Sea leaned forward and lowered his voice slightly, "If I were to become an emperor, I would like to share the world with all the monarchs. What do those who hope for Qi want? Is it still a national teacher?"

Lin Kunshan shook his head lightly and lowered his voice, "After last year's trial, my teacher doesn't want to be a national teacher anymore, one mountain can't hold two tigers, my teacher no longer insists on staying in Da Chu, he likes a place outside Da Chu. , if they can gain a foothold there, those who hope for qi will be considered a great success.”

"Exchanging land outside of Great Chu for the support of hopeful people, I think it seems to have taken a lot of advantage."

Lin Kunshan said with a smile: "It's still the same sentence, follow the trend, the luck of the Great Chu is not exhausted, no matter how much you struggle, the power will not be in the hands of those who look for it, it is better to retreat and seek the next best."

"Are we all right?"

Lin Kunshan nodded.

"Can you tell me more about the situation in the palace?"

"Sorry, I've been on the frontier, and I only know about the palace, but not the details."

The King of the East Sea guessed that Lin Kunshan would use such words to prevaricate himself, so he asked with a smile: "I am not the only one who has made a deal with the Qi Wang?"

"I have no way to answer this question. Only the master knows the overall situation. I only know one thing. Among all the possible collaborators, the East Sea King must be one of the first."

Donghai King scolded Wang Qi in his heart, but the smile on his face became more and more easy-going, "I will not only walk, but also run, and I will definitely be ahead of everyone."

"Although General Zhenbei walks slowly, bringing him along will make the King of the East Sea do more with less."

"Well, that's exactly what I mean, but... there is a lack of manpower."

"I will help the East Sea King find some people, but I need a little commitment from the East Sea King."

"Anyone who follows me today will be crowned a marquis."

"Haha, that's enough. It's not too late, I'll find someone, please wait for the good news from the King of the East Sea."

Lin Kunshan drank the last glass of wine, got up and said goodbye, the smile on the face of the East Sea King disappeared together with the back of the watcher, and said in a low voice: "It's a good one to follow the trend and to take credit for what happened in the palace. Just follow the trend? Do you think I'm a fool? Hey, whoever fooled me once, don't try to fool me again. Come in!"

The entourage pushed the door into the room and stood with his hands down.

This is the only person the King of the East Sea believes in in the Iron Broken City, and he is an entourage sent by his mother.

"What did the 'Chai Family' say?"

More than 20 "Chai family members" in Broken Iron City have been imprisoned for their intention to assassinate General Chai Yue. They have not been released so far. After the East Sea King felt isolated, he sent his entourage to take care of these people. Before, the entourage had just gone to Xiao Bi, the leader of the "Chai Family", to express his closeness to the King of the East Sea.

"Xiao Coin is willing to serve His Highness."

"Hey, with his current situation, he can only do what he's doing. Is he willing to connect me with Chai Zhi from the Northern Army?"

"He is willing, and he also revealed one thing to me. Chai Zhi is going to attack the Huns during the peace talks. The Huns will kill the Marquis Juan with fake hands and assassinate His Highness in the chaos, and then defeat the Huns and atone for their crimes with military merit. It's the news that Xiao Coin just got."

The King of the East Sea gave a short laugh, "Chai's family is really... capable people come out in large numbers to reveal the conspiracy so thoroughly that they can do it. Can Xiao Bi persuade Chai Zhi to change his mind?"

"He said he could, but I don't believe him." The entourage replied.

"Just tell the facts, you don't need to make a judgment." Donghai Wang said coldly, but his conclusion was the same as that of his followers, "This is interesting, Chai Zhi wants to kill with a knife, and Lin Kunshan wants to bring Han Ruzi back with him. Jing, um... I have to save my life first, and then which side should I choose?"
