A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1418

[Chapter 1407 Changle]

Qi Ning was stunned, and immediately said, “I’m sorry, I beg the emperor!” Before he could finish speaking, Longtai raised his hand to stop him and said, “I haven’t finished speaking yet.”

Qi Ning could only listen.

“I started to study when I was very young. Because I am a crown prince, and sooner or later, I will be enthroned to govern the country, so the royal father attaches great importance to my studies.” The emperor said slowly: “I still remember when Xiao Shaozong was enthroned in the palace, Reading for me, I know that he is a relative of the royal family, so I called him Brother Shaozong at that time.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly, but did not say much.

“In the palace, apart from the little eunuch, I only have Xiao Shaozong to accompany him, so I have a deep affection for him, and I always thought he was my friend.” Long Tai sighed softly: “But when I think about it now, I may not have done one. The things that a friend should do, many things are condescending, without considering his feelings, and taking it as a matter of course.”

Qi Ning knew that Xiao Shaozong was able to get to where he is today, and the environment in his childhood had a great influence on Xiao Shaozong, and said softly. “When I was a child, I naturally couldn’t think of being comprehensive.”

“I blame him, but I don’t hate him.” Long Tai smiled bitterly: “At that time, the teacher told me that the emperor has no personal affairs, and he wants to serve the country wholeheartedly, so there will be no What kind of friends are only monarchs and ministers.” Looking at Qi Ning, he said: “When you entered the Jinyihou mansion, I got close to you, and I didn’t really regard you as a friend. I was in a difficult situation at the time, and not many people were willing to help me. , and you bear the name of the Jinyi Qi family, which naturally helps me a lot, so I have to reuse you.”

“I accept the emperor’s favor, and I can’t repay it!”

Longtai shook his head and said, “I know that you were at that time. I need you to help me secure the throne, and you also need me to help you enjoy the glory, wealth, and honor, so in my opinion, although there is a friendship between you and me, in the final analysis, it is just mutual use. I even thought about it, If the power of the Sima clan grows stronger, and I can’t convince me, you will probably just leave!”

Qi Ning thought that your guess was not wrong, I really thought so when I first arrived in the capital.

“Hee-hee, all for profit, hee-hee, all for profit.” Long Tai said calmly: “After Xiao Shaozong took control of me, I’ve been in despair, because I can’t think of anyone who can fight against the opposition. After winning Xiao Shaozong, I can’t think of anyone else who can sacrifice his life to save me?” He smiled bitterly: “I will not hide from you, after I was imprisoned, I have already given up, just waiting for Xiao Shaozong to take my head. When I opened it, the girl said that she was under your orders and was trying her best to search and rescue me, and I realized that there are still people in this world who are still thinking of me.”

Qi Ning was also touched, and sighed: “The civil and military affairs of the Man Dynasty were only concealed by Xiao Shaozong. Otherwise, there will definitely be many loyal subjects who will save the emperor at all costs.”

Longtai shook his head and said, “You are wrong, there

may be people who are dissatisfied with Xiao Shaozong, but they risk their lives to stand up. I really can’t think of anyone else.” Staring at Qi Ning, he said, “Xiao Shaozong controls the capital, holding troops and horses in his hands, fighting him, and dying. In fact, I already know that you have used the beggar gang to transfer your family out of the capital. You could have just walked away, even if you defected to Xiao Shaozong, I believe Xiao Shaozong would be very happy. But you didn’t leave, you stayed to turn things around and let me see the sun again.” He raised his hand and patted Qi Ning’s shoulder, and said with a smile: “ I know that you didn’t stay because of the loyalty of the

minister , but because you regarded me as a friend.”

Qi Ning hesitated, and finally said: “Excuse the courage of the minister, the minister can indeed leave, but in the heart of the minister, You have always regarded the emperor as a friend, since you are a friend, you must be loyal, and if you walk away, it will be unkind and unrighteous.”

Long Tai nodded: “I understand, so I named you King Yiheng, you can Do you know what it means?”

“Your Majesty asked the ministers to always talk about loyalty!”

“You’re only half right.” Long Tai said, “Not only did I ask you to always talk about loyalty, but I also asked myself to always talk about loyalty.” Word by word Said: “You didn’t let me down, and I naturally won’t let you down!”

Qi Ning got up and cupped his hands: “I will swear allegiance to the death, and I will always be a friend to the emperor.”

“You remember today’s words.” Long Tai said: “No matter what happens in the future, no matter what changes, as long as you show loyalty to me, I will never let you down.” He also stood up and said solemnly: “I am very I told you a long time ago that I want to create a peaceful and prosperous world for the people of the world, and you, no matter what happens in the future, you must remember the mission of me and you. You and I are still young, so there is enough time to complete our mission. Dream, I don’t want any accident to hinder our ambition!”

Qi Ning thought that in the emperor’s words, he seemed to be worried about the future, so he could only say: “The emperor does not need to worry, you and I, the ruler and the minister, are of the same mind, and Zhongneng can create peace. Prosperity.”

Longtai’s lips moved slightly, he hesitated to speak, and there was even a trace of doubt in the depths of his eyes, but he finally said with a smile: “I believe in you.” At this time, his eyes were full of firmness. .

At this moment, I heard a report from outside: “Your Highness, Dongqi Duan Shao and Shen Tuluo have arrived and are waiting for the emperor’s summons!”

Qi Ning’s heart froze, but Longtai smiled at Qi Ning and ordered: “Xuan!” He returned to the imperial desk and sat down, motioning for Qi Ning to sit down on the chair next to him.

When Duan Shao and Shen Tuluo entered the imperial study, they were all dressed in casual clothes. Duan Shao’s complexion was obviously not very good, but Shen Tuluo was still on the move.

Qi Ning suddenly understood why the emperor would summon these two people at this time. First, he met them in front of his own face, and secondly, he must be by his side to protect him.

Longtai was able to summon these two people, obviously to appease them. If there are guards in and out of the imperial study, the emperor will appear cowardly, and secondly, it will naturally make the other party a little disgusted, and staying here, of course, makes Longtai appear calm. , and with his own martial arts, he is not afraid of Shen Tuluo’s sudden attack.

Duan Shao and the two were startled when they saw Qi Ning, but they still stepped forward. Duan Shao hesitated for a while, and finally bowed to Longtai, and Shen Tuluo also saluted behind.

“I summoned you today, not for state affairs, but for family affairs.” Long Tai raised his hand to signal for the two to take their seats, Duan Shao sat down opposite Qi Ning, but Shen Tuluo was standing behind Duan Shao. The dignity of Duan Shao’s identity.

Qi Ning sneered, thinking that the state of Qi has already died out, and now the life and death of the two of them are in the hands of Longtai. With a flick of a finger, the two of them will be separated. At such a time, they are still putting on airs here. I really don’t know what it means. .

“The Queen knows that you are in the capital, and she misses you.” Long Tai said, “I have promised the Queen that I

will treat you well.”

Duan Shao said, “Thank you.” He didn’t say much.

Shen Tuluo finally couldn’t help but say: “You and our two countries are allies, but you never thought of it but betrayed your promise!”

Before he finished speaking, Longtai had already said, “Is Mo Ying your brother?”

Shentuluo was shocked, and Longtai was indifferent Said: “You and our two countries have indeed formed an alliance, but Mo Ying has been making waves in our country of Chu, and colluded with rebels and plotted a rebellion. What’s going on? Who broke the alliance first?”

Shentu Luo was suddenly dumbfounded.

After the two of them came to the capital, although they had been huddled in the Huainan Palace, they had already known about Xiao Shaozong’s rebellion in the past few days. The two were placed in the Huainan Palace by Mo Ying. Xiao Shaozong’s relationship was unusual, knowing that Mo Ying was also involved in this rebellion.

Before, the two of them didn’t know what Mo Ying’s so-called means to turn the situation around, but now they have completely understood.

Once Xiao Shaozong really succeeded in usurping the throne this time, then of course there is an agreement with Mo Ying Realization. Among Mo Ying’s conditions, it is very likely that Xiao Shaozong will restore Qi.

Unfortunately, everything disappeared with Xiao Shaozong’s failure.

It is true that Mo Ying was involved in the rebellion, and the little emperor Longtai obviously already knew that Mo Ying was involved in this matter, and even knew Mo Ying’s true identity.

“I will no longer pursue these old things today.” Long Tai said: “Duan Shao, you are the elder brother of the queen. Today, I see the queen’s face and confer you the title of Marquis of Changle, and Ruo Shen Tuluo, I will bestow you as Marquis of Yongan. , I will have someone prepare a mansion for you in the capital, and I only hope that you will be loyal to me in the future.”

Shen Tuluo clenched his fists and immediately said, “I don’t accept it!”

Qi Ning sneered in his heart. He was already smart, and at this time he already understood what the emperor meant.

The world is undecided, and although the state of Qi is destroyed, there is still a state of Han in the north that is not easy to conquer. UU read www.

sonicmtl.com Although the Qinhuai Army took advantage of the situation to head north, the throne of the enemy country had already settled, and there were also famous generals such as Zhong Liao. The Chu country went through a turmoil. Although it was quickly pacified, it still had a great impact on the frontline battle. Influence, so if you want to pacify the northern kingdom after this battle, it is not very likely, it is nothing more than occupying some territories and cities in the north to prepare for the next decisive battle against the Han kingdom.

In fact, after the Northwest and Qi fell into the hands of Chu, the balance between the north and the south has long since disappeared.

But the North still didn’t take it down. The emperor pardoned Duan Shao for the death penalty, and also made him a marquis. Although there are factors of the queen, the most fundamental reason is to take precautions. Take this as an example and show it to the northerners.

Since Duan Shao was able to make a marquis, in the process of conquering the north, it was inevitable that some officials of the northern kingdom would take this into consideration and surrender to the state of Chu.

It’s just that the emperor was not polite to Duan Shao. He bluntly said that it was because of the empress that he was appointed as a candidate, and he was named after Changle. He even asked Shen Tuluo, the general of the Qi State, to be the same as Duan Shao. Of course, this is to Duan. Shao’s humiliation, and the emperor obviously warned Duan Shao that he was no longer the prince of Dongqi, but a prisoner of the Great Chu Empire.
