Chapter 104 Measure Your will

Emperor Qi, who had just received the letter of war, obviously did not expect that the State of Lu would declare war on him, because according to the previous news, the State of Cang wanted to go to war against his country, but it changed in the blink of an eye. Such a rapid change also made the court ministers of Qi helpless. The reason why Lu declared war is that Qi has intervened too much politically for a long time, and people know that this is just an excuse.

After retreating from the court, Emperor Qi summoned several ministers in the court to go to the Yonghe Hall to continue the discussion. In fact, many times the emperor's decision and intentions will not be revealed in the court, but secretly summoned the confidant ministers to hold a small meeting to vote after retreating.

" Prime Minister, what do you think of this?" Wu Jinsong, who was promoted from the Department of Finance to Prime Minister, obviously has not adapted to the position of Prime Minister. He looked left and right and said, "I don't know..."

"What do you think of Yu Tingxue?"

Yu Wenjun said, "Go back to the emperor, I think that the reason why Lu dares to declare war this time must be due to an alliance with Cang State."

"Oh? Why did you see the alliance between the two countries?

"First of all, Cang State released the news that he wanted to attack our country. When we turned all our attention to Cang State, Lu State declared war when we were unprepared. What is this premeditated collusion?" Yu Wenjun said.

"But..." Liu Zichen, standing in the corner, said, "Go back to the emperor, I don't think there is an alliance between Cang and Lu."

"No alliance?" Emperor Qi looked at Liu Zichen, who was usually quiet and said, "I remember that you seem to be Mr. Lin's son-in-law, right? Why do you say that there is no alliance between Cang and Lu?

"Your Majesty, if I am the monarch of Cang, I will definitely pretend to be ready to attack Qi and send soldiers to prepare for war. In this way, when you send troops to Cang, Lu will pretend to help us and attack Cang with our country. At that time, Lu will turn his gun and unite with Cang to kill us. Isn't this method better to annihilate?

Wu Jinsong secretly looked at Liu Zichen and sighed in his heart: This young man's city is really deep...

Yu Wenjun said unwillingly, "Then why did Cangguo release the news that it was ready to attack us?"

"Who said that the news was released by Cang Guo?" Liu Zichen asked, "Even if it spread from the Cang Kingdom, that night may not represent the opinion of the monarch of Cang Kingdom. Your Majesty, it needs to be debatable at this time!"

Emperor Qi clenched his left hand in the shape of a fist, kept tapping on the table, and said slowly for a long time, "Is there any solution according to your opinion?"

"I think we should send envoys to Lu first to find out what's going on?" Yu Wenjun replied.

"The envoy?" Emperor Qi's tone was obviously gloomy and said, "This declaration of war has been issued. Do you still want to send an envoy to find out?" Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey?

"Weichen is frightened."

Liu Zichen thought to himself: What is the purpose of Lu's sudden declaration of war this time? Obviously, he did not fully alliate with Cang Guo, but there was indeed news that Cang Guo was going to attack Qi before. Is there any involvement in this?

Ye Xian and Long Zaitian have sent envoys to Cangguo. Obviously, Emperor Qi seems to have some scruples about Cangguo. However, what Liu Zichen didn't know was that Emperor Qi asked Ye Xian to find the elixir of immortality.

"Your Majesty, we will choose to fight." Liu Zichen carefully observed Emperor Qi's face to determine what to say next according to Emperor Qi's face.

"Fighting?"

Liu Zichen couldn't be sure what Emperor Qi was thinking. His nervous palm and back sweated coldly, but when he saw the smile in Emperor Qi's eyes, he knew that he had bet right and Emperor Qi wanted to fight. So he continued to say, "Although the strength of the State of Lu is strong, it is far worse than our state of Qi in terms of logistical supplies. Once the two countries go to war, they will definitely fight for about half a year. At that time, I'm afraid it will also be the middle of winter, and the State of Lu will definitely fall into a dilemma."

Emperor Qi thought for a moment and raised his left eyebrows slightly and said, "What if Cangguo wants to take this opportunity to reap the benefits of fishermen? In addition, the Kingdom of Nanxia has changed into a new monarch. In recent days, I am ready to send envoys to go there. Alas, it's really a wave after another.

Liu Zichen, who heard what Emperor Qi said, did not know how to answer for a moment, and Yu Wenjun said proudly in his heart: This war is not so simple. Once the two countries go to war, it will affect the fate of the whole country. Alas, young people are still high-hearted after all!

For a long time, Emperor Qi said tiredly, "You step back first and let me think about it."

At night, the cold moonlight pours over the whole earth.

Empress Renchen held Qi Chufeng, the youngest prince who was less than five years old, and hummed a sleepy tune. Looking at the young life lying in her arms, Queen Renchen's heart suddenly softened. How could she do something about this child? He trusts himself like that. Yes, no, absolutely no. Chu Feng has been sure to be a mother. How can I do such a cruel thing to him?

But what will happen to him if he knows that his biological mother was killed by me in the future? If I have a prince in my stomach in the future, what will he do to his brother?

No, no, absolutely not soft-hearted.

Empress Renchen raised her head to prevent tears from slipping down, but in the end, the hot tears still scratched her cheeks. This scene happened to be seen by Emperor Qi who was walking in. He asked with concern, "Queen, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing. The concubine just feels that the legitimate prince is very pitiful and has no mother at such a young age."

"Fool, aren't you her mother?" Emperor Qi pinched Qi Chufeng's little face and said, "It's really cute, just like me when I was a child."

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

"Do you mean the declaration of war by the State of Lu? I don't know whether to fight or not. I don't know why my chest is stuffy, and I always feel that something is going to happen. Emperor Qi said, "Queen, what do you think I should do?"

"I don't know when I go back to the emperor." Queen Renchen really doesn't know. Although she is thoughtful and extremely smart, she is still unable to control war, which is related to the fate of the country.

Emperor Qi sighed and said, "Queen, do you believe that there is an elixir of immortality in this world?"

"The elixir of immortality?" Empress Renchen asked, "Why did the emperor suddenly ask this?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask."

"There should be."

"Yes? Queen, why do you think there is an elixir of immortality in this world?

"Isn't immortals immortal, so as long as you take that medicine, you can probably live immortality and become immortals." Empress Renchen is not a person who believes in ghosts and gods, and he does not believe in the elixir of immortality from the bottom of his heart. However, since Emperor Qi asked this question proves that he is interested in the elixir of immortality, and it is likely that he believes that there is an elixir of immortality in the world. In this case, how can she be stupid enough to make Emperor Qi unhappy?

Queen Renchen, as a wife, has long found that the husband in front of her is not the weak monarch when she first entered the palace. Although outsiders think he has become strong, but in the eyes of Empress Renchen, her husband has become completely another person. Although the former Emperor Qi was weak, he was still benevolent and moral, but now he has become strong and cold. Unlike the cruelty of the previous emperor, he is really cold, which makes people unable to figure out what he is thinking.

Emperor Qi put Queen Renchen gently in his arms and said, "I feel so tired."

"Then take a break. Everything will pass."

"Past?" Emperor Qi said, "I really hope so, but..."

"But what is it?"

"Why did the eldest brother disappear when he died? And he said he would come back and he would come back. Emperor Qi said excitedly, "When I was very young, my father spoiled my eldest brother very much. I felt that my father and eldest brother seemed to be very far away. It was really far away. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't touch them. At that time, I really envied my eldest brother. Later, the eldest brother became cruel, and the mother knelt in front of the eldest brother to protect me and begged him. At that time, I was really scared, so scared..."
