The Ziqi Empire was invaded by the Witchcraft Continent. People with lofty ideals in the country joined the camp of the Tengyun Empire to unite and fight against foreign enemies. This harmonious atmosphere gradually dissipated as the Witchcraft Continent retreated.
After Zhan Zhan officially ascended the throne, the disparity caused the Ziqi Empire to be wary of the Tengyun Empire, and refused the help of the Tengyun Empire several times, and the former alliance fell apart. Afterwards, the old family of the Ziqi Empire headed by the Lin family came forward to confirm that both Zhong Sun and his son died in battle, that the dragons of the Ziqi Empire had no leader, and countless true and false collaterals sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. want to come.
At the same time, under the influence of the Ziqi Empire, discordant notes also appeared within the Tengyun Empire.
Wei Xing and Weilong have written several times, hoping that Zhan Zhan will send troops to Ziqi and complete the great cause of the unification of the two countries. However, Chang Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice who was promoted when he was outstanding in the battle against the Witchcraft Continent, is very opposed to it. He believes that the two continents of Excalibur and Witchcraft The war in China has just ended, and it is time to recuperate. This is a waste of people and money, and is not conducive to the stability, unity and development of the empire and the mainland.
The two factions insisted on their own opinions and were at a stalemate, often quarreling in the court.
Affected by them, Zhan Zhan, who planned to follow the route of being amiable, gentle and benevolent, had a straight rise in majesty in the court, and now it has developed to the point where as long as he raises his eyebrows, the whole hall is silent and obediently listens to him.
Facing the praise from Yun Wuyi and Zhu Wan, Zhan Zhan said: "It's nothing, as a referee, this is what I should do. My idol is Collina."
Yun Wuyi said to Zhu Wan: "There is internal turmoil in Ziqi, the people are in dire straits, and the refugees are fleeing to Tengyun, which makes our border cities overwhelmed and chaotic. It is not a long-term solution to continue like this."
Zhu Wandao: "Actually, what the Wei brothers said is not unreasonable."
Zhan Zhan opened his mouth and said, "But..."
Yun Wuyi said: "At present, the vitality of the empire is seriously injured, and the gains from fighting Ziqi outweigh the losses."
Zhan Zhan nodded.
Zhu Wandao: "Ziqi Tengyun has been fighting for many years, and the grievances are deep. Even if they unite because of interests, it is only a matter of time. Except for sending troops to invade, there is no possibility of subduing them within a hundred years. If they send troops, it is a good time opportunity."
Yunwuyi frowned.
"No." Zhan Zhan flatly refused, "If Ziqi is invaded now, what is the difference between us and the Wufa Continent? Once the war starts, the casualties will be on both sides. Are we fighting so hard to win the foreign enemy just to kill each other behind closed doors? "
Zhu Wandao: "The Ziqi Empire is Tengyun's great enemy, and when they regain their vitality, Tengyun will be threatened."
"I admit that there is no complete peace between countries, there are only alliances and conflicts of interests, but I don't think that the reunification of the two empires will be done once and for all. The ease of not having an opponent will kill the fighting spirit and stagnate. Maybe there is a purple air by the side Staring at the tiger can inspire the future emperor of Tengyun to work hard to rule, avoid being addicted to lust, become depressed after a setback, and there are few examples in history such as the unification of the country and internal division? Moreover, the relationship between countries is the same as the relationship between people , It is maintained by the efforts of both parties, not necessarily fighting and killing."
Zhu Wandao: "What you described is an ideal."
"Ideals are motivation. We need progress, the country needs it, and the mainland needs it too. It may be difficult, but we cannot stop because of difficulties."
"How can you be sure that the Purple Qi Empire thinks the same way?"
"... Don't we have the final say now?"
Yun Wuyi looked helplessly at the pensive Zhu Wan, "I will have a good talk with him."
Zhan Zhan licked his lips, "Also, we have safety locks."
"Safety?"
Zhan Zhan said: "Sword God is my friend."
Zhu Wan and Yun Wuyi: "..." Well, the last one is really convincing.
"I want to talk to the princess alone."
Zhan Zhan said: "You know that I can be invisible."
Zhu Wandao: "I told you that I hope you can respect us."
Zhan Zhan looked at him, then at Yunwuyi, and muttered, "If I didn't know about you and Ouyang, I would have suspected that you had some unscrupulous plans for my mother."
Zhu Wan: "..."
Yun Wuyi said: "You haven't seen your father since you came back, right?"
Zhan Zhan said coyly, "I don't know if he wants to see me or not."
"How do you know if he wants to see you if you don't look for him?"
"He didn't come to see me either." Seeing Yun Wuyi staring at him, Zhan Zhan shrank his head, "I'll go right away."
After Zhan Zhan left, Yun Wuyi apologized, "Zhan'er is still young, don't take his words to heart, Mr. Zhu."
Zhu Wan smiled and said: "Actually, I think what he said is very reasonable. An overly comfortable life will indeed kill the fighting spirit. It's just that his proposal is more suitable for ordinary big families. The king of a country involves the whole country, and the safety of a country It’s too risky to be a touchstone.”
Yun Wuyi nodded, "Actually speaking, what really worries people is not the present, but the future beyond our control."
"As long as you choose the right prince, why worry about the country's fortune not being prosperous?"
"It's not easy to choose the right prince?" This is Yun Wuyi's heart disease, but he is afraid of Zhan Zhan's guilt and dare not reveal it on weekdays.
Zhu Wan was silent for a long time and said, "Perhaps the position of the crown prince candidate is too narrow."
Yun Wuyi was shocked, and when he looked at him again, his eyes were different.
Zhu Wan knew that what she just said had touched the interests of the royal family, so she didn't dare to answer it again, so she changed the subject and said, "I have an idea about the Ziqi Empire."
"Please speak, Mr. Zhu."
Zhu Wandao: "Zhan Zhan's idea is actually not wrong. If you can't launch a war to occupy the Ziqi Empire, then the best way is to control them so that they can't do anything."
Yun Wuyi smiled, "Are you sure that's what baby means?"
Zhu Wan said: "I have perfected it."
"Establishing a powerful enemy is the best way to unite, just like what Wufa Continent did to Tengyun and Ziqi, so in the near future, Ziqi Empire will regard us as a thorn in the side, and it will not be easy to install people."
"Really?" Zhu Wan said, "Where is Miss Ning?"
Yunwuyi's eyes flashed.
The two made eye contact, tacit understanding.
Zhu Wandao: "I heard that with the help of Miss Ning, the Zijing Trading Company has begun to take shape."
"After all, she is a businessman, and she will always marry and come back."
"It's good to be an eyeliner. The Ziqi Empire is still in the hands of the Lin family. With Yaoguang as a bridge, at least the relationship between the two countries will not be too bad. Besides," Zhu Wan paused, "the Zhongsun family still has a bloodline. "
Yun Wuyi froze for a moment, opened his eyes wide and said: "Could it be that you mean..."
"Xiaomei."
"She's Medusa."
Zhu Wandao: "Because of this, as long as she wants, the Medusas will definitely support her and take back what belongs to her."
Yun Wuyi said: "This is not an easy task."
"Indeed, it is more difficult than Ziqi's return to Tengyun. Therefore, most of them will act in secret. In this way, in the Ziqi Empire, we have both open and dark, distant, close, relatives, and distant." Zhu Wan smiled and said, "Putting any thread can achieve unexpected effects."
The cloud and mist clothes are like pulling the clouds to see the sun, and the Mao Sai suddenly opens.
After Zhan Bubai sobered up, Zhan Zhan talked to him only a handful of times, and they seemed to be deliberately avoiding each other. The road to meet Zhan Bubai is not long, but Zhan Zhan took a long time on purpose to get there. Regrettably, even after so long, there were no unexpected incidents on the way to interrupt his visit.
"Father?" He was about to knock on the door, but found it was open.
Zhan Bubai was sitting in the room, holding a cloth in his hand, and was wiping the knife with a golden knife.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Zhan Zhan was hesitating whether to leave, so he heard him say: "If you are an emperor, you should be resolute and decisive. What are you looking forward to and backward?"
If you want him to come in, just say so. Zhan Zhan stepped into the door, accosted him and said, "Wipe the knife?"
Zhan Bubai looked up at him, and handed him both the cloth and the knife.
Zhan Zhan took the knife, his face twitched, and he said with a dry smile, "The knife is a bit heavy."
"This knife is called Suohun. It is the treasured knife that my great-grandfather carried with me. Seeing blood seals the throat!"
"I haven't seen you use it before."
"...it's a bit heavy."
Zhan Zhan looked at him in surprise. Did the father of the military god suddenly become down-to-earth? "Then why are you wiping it?"
"This is the last time I wipe it."
"Father wants to sell it? It's not worth much, is it?"
Zhan Bubai immediately waved his hand over.
With Zhan Zhan's current cultivation base, it is not difficult to escape, but he endured it without moving. Zhan Bubai's attack is not serious, with a hint of intimacy, just like an ordinary father and son fighting. He said: "I will leave it to you in the future. You can wipe it. Once a month, don't let it get rusty. It represents the military soul of our Military God Palace!"
Zhan Zhan's expression immediately became respectful, and he rubbed harder.
Zhan Bubai said: "In the future, the Tengyun Empire may not have a military palace."
Zhan Zhan paused, and wanted to say something guiltily, but he had nothing good to say.
"But it would be nice to have an emperor possessed by a military spirit."
Zhan Zhan was startled, "Father, you..."
Zhan Bubai patted him on the shoulder, turned around and entered the back room.
Looking at his back, Zhan Zhan suddenly understood this man who was loyal to the Tengyun Empire. Zhan Bubai can forgive Emperor Yun Mu for wanting to kill him, but he cannot forgive him for betraying the Tengyun Empire and seeking refuge in the Wizarding Continent, which made him completely give up on Emperor Yun Mu.
He looked at his face reflected on the knife, and slowly smiled, "Family conflicts, resolve them!"
The author has something to say: the next thing has nothing to do with the battle of swordsmanship, even if it is in the episode.
