Zhang Qi nodded in the night, and then said, "do we report to our father tomorrow morning?"

"What do you want to tell me, that you don't want old four to ascend the throne, or that old five overheard their conversation? If my father knows about it, you will feel better. " Zhang tingxiao glanced at him and said in a cold voice: "I've told you many times. I'll use my brain when I'm in trouble, but you just can't remember."

Zhang Qiye said with a dry smile: "I I didn't come to discuss with my elder brother immediately. "

Zhang tingxiao said coldly: "the most urgent thing is to form an alliance with the Western Chu as soon as possible. As long as the alliance is reached, we can attack the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the fourth side together, and we can break it without attacking."

Zhang Qiye's spirit soared, "tomorrow..."

Knowing what he was going to say, Zhang tingxiao shook his head and said, "my father has been confused by the old four. He has a preconceived idea that you have visited Mr. Cao San, so we can't talk about this."

"Damn the wild seed!" Zhang Qi scolded in the dark at night, thought a little, and said, "old five?"

Zhang tingxiao shook his head again, "the fifth is too light in his father's heart. It's useless to speak. On the contrary, it will make him self defeating and make him suspicious."

Zhang Qiye also mentioned several important ministers in the court. They were all denied by Zhang tingxiao one by one. He could not help but say, "this is not good, that is not good. Who should say it?"

"Whoever gets the lead, it's up to him to say it!" Zhang tingxiao knocked heavily on the edge of the table and said with a smile, "isn't Lao Si saying that you went to see Mr. Cao San? Then you really went to see him."

"Really?" Zhang Qiye was suddenly surprised, staring at him and said: "isn't this exactly what Lao Si meant? If it comes back to my father's ears, we can't get rid of it. "

"Of course not." Zhang tingxiao said with eyebrows, "Mr. Cao has no other good idea. He just likes to listen to opera. After he came to Xiangyue City, he found the most famous troupe in the city. Every night, he went to the post station to sing opera." He pointed to the housekeeper standing next to him and said, "coincidentally, the lucky leader is the cousin of the housekeeper in our house. Last time I heard from the housekeeper, I didn't take it in my heart. I didn't expect that it would be useful now."

Zhang Qiye turned his eyes and said, "brother means to let me disguise as a member of the troupe?"

"Yes, it should avoid the eyes and ears of my father." Zhang tingxiao leaned forward and said a few words in his ear. When the latter responded one by one, he said solemnly: "tell Mr. Cao San that if the Cao family still want to return to Dongling, they must persuade their father to agree to the alliance. In addition I'll go to Madame Yue tomorrow. Of all the concubines in the harem, she is the best one to speak to her father. "

"Well, I see." Zhang Qiye answered and immediately left with the housekeeper. He quietly came to the post station in the dark and stayed in it for more than an hour before he came out. No one knew what he had said to Mr. Cao San.

Although the body and bones of Ling emperor are getting weaker and weaker, he still insists on facing the court day by day. This day is no exception. He leans on the Dragon chair and listens to the officials' playing. He occasionally says a few words. He is short of breath and speaks very slowly, but no one dares to refute every word. No matter how light or weak, it is also the words of the emperor.

"Retreat!" With the shrill voice of the servant, all the officials saluted Ling Di, "long live, long live!"

Emperor Ling stood up with difficulty holding the hand of the servant. An hour's Court Affairs were nothing to ordinary people, but it was extremely hard for Emperor Ling.

Just as he was going back to the back hall, a servant bowed his head and came in. He said respectfully, "I'd like to tell your majesty that the envoy of the Western Chu Kingdom wants to see you."

Ling emperor action a stagnant, immediately sit back in the chair, light way: "pass him to come in." After that, he waved to the officials who were still standing in the hall, "you all step down."

"I'll leave." When Baiguan stooped to retreat, a man in his thirties came in. He had fine eyebrows, long eyes and high cheekbones. At first sight, he was a smart man. This man was Cao Bingcheng's third son, Cao Mu and Cao San.

Cao San Gongzi went to the hall, arched his hand and said: "Cao mu, the emissary of the Western Chu Kingdom, has seen Ling emperor. I wish him a healthy dragon body for thousands of generations."

"No gift." Emperor Ling's servant took a look. The latter came forward and closed the door of the hall. Although the light was cut off, there were dozens of candles burning in the hall, which were still very bright.

"I salute your majesty, your majesty." After the door of the hall was closed, the third son of Cao paid homage again, and his self proclaimed title changed from "envoy of Western Chu" to "minister".

Ling Di covered his lips and coughed a few times. He was tired and said, "why do you want to see me?"

Mr. Cao said respectfully, "I have come to Xiangyue city for several days. I don't know how your majesty thinks about the alliance."

Ling Di opened his turbid eyes and said, "Dongling and Xichu have no contact on the surface. Now he suddenly proposes the alliance. Naturally, I have to consider it carefully." He looked at Cao mu with his hand and said, "I ask you, does Xiao Ruo Ao really want to form an alliance, or does he want to take the opportunity to consume the national strength of Dongling and the Northern Zhou Dynasty so that he can take advantage of it?"

"Since Princess Xuanji went to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Xiao Ruo Ao has been sleeping and eating uneasily, fearing that the Northern Zhou Dynasty would invade on a large scale. This time he learned that Dongling had robbed Princess Xuanji and had a bad relationship with the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He thought that the two countries were in the same line, so he proposed an alliance." After a pause, he said: "to say the least, even if Xiao Ruo Ao really has a different heart, his father is there, so your majesty can rest assured.""So it is." Ling Di nodded and said, "it's more than 20 years since your father went to Xichu. I haven't seen him again in these 20 years. I miss him very much."

"My father is also very concerned about your majesty. He would burn incense to pray for your Majesty's health on the 15th day of the lunar new year. He often taught me to keep in mind my identity and never let your majesty down." He hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head and said: "to tell you the truth, Xiao Ruo Ao's alliance is also the result of his father's efforts. Xiao Ruo Ao has no doubt about his father's trust. If there is no accident, once the three kingdoms are at war, his father will supervise the war as prime minister. At that time, he will let the Western Chu army rush in the front to kill the power of the Northern Zhou Dynasty for his majesty."

"I know your father is loyal." Ling Di nodded, looking very happy.

The third young master Cao was very happy and raised his head and said, "so your majesty has agreed?"

Ling Di slightly horizontal his one eye, "do you very much hope I agree?"

Cao Sanzi was a little frightened by his gaze, and bowed his head and said: "I heard that the Northern Zhou Dynasty was ready to move. I don't know when I will send troops to Dongling, so I want to form an alliance as soon as possible, so as not to have a long dream."

Ling emperor's seemingly turbid eyes flashed a faint light, "I have my own opinion, you should step down."

Cao three childe did not expect to say so long, Ling emperor or such an ambiguous attitude, a little impatient for a moment, asked: "I do not know your majesty has any doubts?"
