C843

That night, Dongfang Suo called Zhang Qiling to have a secret talk for a long time. Before dawn the next day, he quietly took Qian Ming and dozens of cavalry soldiers to Yan.

Dongfangsu claims that Zhang Qiling went back to Jinling first to assist the crown prince in dealing with political affairs. No one doubts this reason. After all, Zhang Qiling and dongfangze are both out on the battlefield, and it's really too hard for the crown prince, who is less than 10 years old, to handle all the affairs of the imperial court.

As for Qian Ming, Dongfang Su sent someone to disguise him and exchange information with the fake Gu Yichen. They didn't meet each other. I don't think they would show their flaws.

Zhang Qiling and his party made their way to Jicheng, the capital of Yan state, in less than ten days. Qian Ming sent letters to the palace through the people in the city's post station. But half a day later, the emperor of Yan sent a metaphor to summon Zhang Qiling to the palace.

Yan's territory is narrow, less than one-third of the Northern Zhou Dynasty's, so the capital is small. But the imperial palace is extremely large, accounting for one-fifth of the area of Ji City. Even the imperial palace of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is inferior. It is said that there are more than 100 big and small palaces and more than 9000 houses in it, second only to the imperial palace of Qi. In front of it is surrounded by a moat tens of meters wide. Once the war starts, it will be destroyed Fold up the ladder so that the enemy can't cross the river.

Zhang Qiling looked at the majestic palace with curly eaves, and said with a smile, "I came to Yiji city more than ten years ago, and the Imperial Palace at that time could not be compared with what it is now."

Qian Ming looked complicated and said, "when your Majesty was the prince, he advised the former Emperor to expand the palace. At first, the former Emperor didn't agree, but later, he couldn't get over the prince, so he ordered to enlist civil servants to expand the palace. It took 13 years to build the palace. It was not until last year that it was completed. I don't know how much manpower and material resources it took, and..."

Zhang Qiling raised her eyebrows and said, "and what?"

Qian Ming looked uneasy and said, "nothing."

"Let me guess." Zhang Qiling turned back to look at Jizhou city. From his position, he could see almost half of Jizhou city. Most of the houses in the city were low and low, row by row next to the city wall, which looked very crowded.

Zhang Qiling thought for a moment, but he already knew, "the expansion of the imperial palace is too big, so the people have no place to live. They have to move out of the city, right?"

Qian Ming looked at him in surprise. For a long time, he said with a wry smile, "it's said that the fourth Prince of Dongling is a rare intelligent man in the world. When I see him today, it's true."

"Unfortunately, it's not as good as Yandi." Zhang Qiling said meaningfully. As for Qian Ming, he understood, but he didn't dare to announce it.

After they were brought into the hall, the eunuch Gong said, "your majesty will come soon. Please wait here."

After the eunuch left, Zhang Qiling looked around. The main hall was bright and open. The floor was paved with gold bricks. The top was painted with the seal. The doors and windows were inlaid with rhombic pattern. The bottom was carved with cloud dragon pattern. There were gold-plated copper leaves engraved with dragon pattern on the tenon. Every place showed the royal style.

In the middle of the main hall, there is a gold lacquer throne in Kowloon. At first glance, it is not unusual. But if you look carefully, you will find an interesting thing. The dragon in the middle holds a python under its claws.

"Your Majesty is here!" The eunuch's shrill voice rang out in the hall. Qian Ming quickly knelt down and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, long live your majesty!"

Bright yellow Satin Embroidered with colorful cloud bat and Golden Dragon clothes, white jade hanging beads to the sky crown, black embroidered with golden dragon boots, like this hall, everywhere reveals the noble spirit of the royal family.

Emperor Yan was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He had long eyebrows and sparse eyes. He sat down in the Dragon chair, looked at Zhang Qiling bowing at the bottom, raised his eyebrows and said, "why don't you kneel when you see me?"

Zhang Qiling is neither humble nor haughty, and says: "Zhang came by the order of my majesty, kneeling down to worship Emperor Yan, which is not suitable for ceremony."

Emperor Yan said with a smile, "I've heard that the fourth Prince has a sharp tongue. Today, I saw him. It's really good."

"Emperor Yan is over praised. Zhang is just speaking according to reason."

Yandi glared at Qian Ming, who had been drooping his head, "how do you know he's from me?"

Zhang Qiling said with a smile but not a smile: "Emperor Yan should be lucky to find out that the person with Qian Ming's identity is his majesty, not the emperor Chu."

Yan Emperor Mou light a cold, "do you think so, can threaten me?"

"I dare not." Zhang Qiling said with a deep smile: "what Zhang said is the truth. If you let the emperor of Chu know that your" loyal "ally has been secretly scheming against him, what do you think he will do?"

"Emperor Yan has a clear mind. He knows that to form an alliance with emperor Chu is to seek the skin of a tiger. No matter whether the Western Chu wins or assists in the end, the state of Yan can't escape the end, just like Nanzhao. So you've been on guard for a long time, and sent Qian ming to lurk around the emperor of Chu to spy for you, understand every move of the emperor of Chu, and even Kill the Chu emperor. "

Yandi was told the key by him. His eyes twitched. His hands tightly grasped the armrests on both sides. The tap on the armrest was so vivid that it seemed that he would fly out of the chair at any time.

"It's a pity that the emperor of Chu was suspicious by nature, and he was accompanied by Tianji guards. No matter how many qian Ming you sent, you can't kill him or change the ending. At most Just to give you more time to escape. " After a meal, he said: "I guess, there should be your people in Qi, too? Once things come to light, the anger of the two countries will be enough to burn Jicheng to ashes. "Speaking of this, Zhang Qiling looked around the hall with a low smile and said with emotion, "it's a pity that this imperial palace took more than ten years to build so splendidly, but it turned out to be a wedding dress for others."

When he was the crown prince, he did not want the state of Yan to be at the end of the six kingdoms. However, the land of Yan was narrow, the people were few, and the resources were poor. He could not be compared with the other five countries at all, and it was impossible to ascend to the top of the world.

Therefore, he could only place his ambition on the expansion of the imperial palace. He recruited countless folk men. It took him 13 years to expand the imperial palace to this point. Every day after the completion of the palace, he had a dream of competing in the world.

Unfortunately, the dream is always a dream, will not become a reality.

So when Xiao Ruo Ao came to make an alliance with him, he didn't dare to refuse, because he knew that in reality, he didn't have the qualification to refuse.

But he also knew that once the Northern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, he would lose his use value. Neither the Western Chu nor the Qi state would let him go, nor the Yan state.

Therefore, he has been thinking hard, and finally he found a way, that is, to learn from the "Jingke assassinate Qin". Not only the Western Chu, but also Qi had his people. Once the Northern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, the people he arranged would try to kill Xiao Ruo AO and Qi emperor.

As soon as these two men died, he could take advantage of the civil strife between the two countries, lead his troops to seize the capitals of the two countries, dominate the world, and truly realize his dream.
