After Jiangnan Long Zhaohuan became the emperor, he reused the Su family, the vast Jiangnan region, the Su family was dominant, and many families attached to the Su family were just like the capital of the year, it is no exaggeration to say that Long Zhaohuan embarked on the old road in the early years of the establishment of the country, that is, to establish the country with the help of the power of the powerful lords.

Long Zhaohuan built a country for the sake of establishing a country, and he knew in his heart that if he didn't establish a country again, he would never be able to sit on that chair, because Emperor Xinde was completely crazy, and even if this guy died, he might pull several sons to be buried with him. Long Zhaoyan in the north has already established a country, the world has been divided, and Long Zhaohuan is unwilling to miss this opportunity in the troubled times.

But it is easy to build a country, but it is too difficult to hold this country, Jiangnan is the richest place in Dakang, when Emperor Xinde set the capital of Jinling, Lu Zheng paid a huge price in order to defend Jiangnan, and he was almost destroyed several times.

Now that Dakang is divided, the army in Jiangnan can't hold such a vast area at all, Su Zhi is a person with great ambitions and talents, and it is okay for him to secretly engage in conspiracy and tricks, but it is extremely difficult for him to lead the army to defend Jiangnan and hold the foundation of Long Zhaohuan.

However, Long Zhaohuan still has a way, because Prime Minister Su Xinghe gave him a suggestion, so that he and Lingnan Province have become friends with Huainan Province, and the wealthy lords of Lingnan Province and Huainan Province have all been crowned kings, and the benefits of being crowned kings are not counted, Long Zhaohuan also promised to give the two places two military expenses of two million taels each year.

This is equivalent to Lingnan Dao and Huainan Dao from anti-thieves to the king of Dakang with different surnames, not only that, but every year they can also get tribute from Dakang, and they have become a country on the country for a while, this situation is really strange in the world.

Jiangnan, Jinling, Su Zhi is sitting on the bank of the Qinhuai River, the entire Qinhuai River is particularly quiet today, there is nothing else, because Su Zhi wants to patronize, as the first powerful minister of the puppet dynasty at present, Su Zhi's power is too much more than Lu Zheng's back then.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the city of Jinling, Su Zhi has more majesty than the Son of Heaven, he has heavy troops, and the civil and military parts of the court are in his hands.

Su Zhi sat on the highest painting boat in Jinling, the scenery of the Qinhuai River was in full view of his eyes, he looked around, holding a folding fan that literati like to use, and said:

"Su Qing, the world has changed now, why can't you and my brother work together to run errands? Jiangnan is a first-class treasure land, as long as we hold this place, slowly figure it out, one day we will dominate the world The situation may not be impossible, now you enter the cabinet, for the Son of Heaven to handle government affairs is the most appropriate, only in this way, we can have more resources to recruit troops, take precautions......"

Su Zhi's head sat Su Qing, compared to Su Zhi's arrogance and complacency, Su Qing was wearing a green robe, the whole person looked very simple, in the face of Su Zhi's words, Su Qing said lightly:

"I have already said that my health is not good, and it is not suitable to come out as an official, so why should you force each other hard? Also, Jiangnan is a good place, but we need to support Lingnan and Huainan in Jiangnan, how many resources do we have left?

Even if there is some silver left, this year's Jinling construction is large, others will not say it, just say that you have recruited tens of thousands of craftsmen to build the palace yourself, and the cost of silver taels may cost millions of taels, such extravagance, how much money do we have to raise soldiers and horses? ”

Su Zhi frowned slightly, a haze appeared on his face, and after a long time, he sneered and said, "You and I are brothers, but your heart is not on my side, are you still thinking about Lu Zheng?" Lu Zheng is your student, is it possible that a student's status in your heart is higher than that of my fellow brother? ”

Su Zhi paused and continued: "Lu Zheng is a character, but right now he is boiling in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, and I don't know how many years it will take to get out!"

And the situation in the north is complicated, Lu Zheng is almost isolated in the north, the Longyou Song family is his enemy, not to mention Tan Lei, the two are old enemies, Cao Weiming, Long Zhaoyan, who of these people doesn't hate him to the bone?

If things in this world want to become a big thing, you can't make enemies on all sides, Lu Zheng is a character, but he is too arrogant, too rigid, the so-called rigidity is easy to break, not my Su Zhi boasted, maybe one day in the future, he is cornered, and he has to take refuge in us! At that time, I, Su Zhi, will definitely open the city gate and greet me warmly, haha, it will definitely be a good story that people talk about! ”

Su Qing frowned, the corners of his mouth just sneered, and said: "Su Zhi, you and I are brothers, I won't stop you from doing anything, but I don't want to come out as an official, I want to recuperate at home with peace of mind, don't embarrass me!"

I know that the topic of Lu Zheng is taboo for you, and today you took the initiative to bring it up, and I didn't say anything. But since you mentioned Lu Zheng today, then I will also say a word, Lu Zheng will return to Jinling one day after all, and he will definitely not be cornered when he returns to Jinling, but will lead his hundred battles of iron cavalry to break through the city of Jinling, at that time, our Su family will be a catastrophe, a hundred years of dynasty, a thousand years of family, the Su family has come to this day, embarked on a fork in the road, and has fallen into a state of no return! ”

Su Zhi was stunned, stared at Su Qing, and suddenly got up, he couldn't help it anymore, immediately slapped the table, and said angrily: "Su Qing, I don't know what to lift, if you don't have the surname Su, Lao Tzu would have dragged you out of the noon gate and beheaded you!" You don't look at how many people I've killed these days!

Let me tell you, I have the final say in the affairs of Jiangnan, those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me die, you have to think clearly, otherwise Lao Tzu will turn his face and not recognize people! ”

Su Zhi originally looked like a dog, but this anger completely lost her mind, and she looked like a madman, in the face of his anger, Su Qing didn't care, and sneered:

"Life and death are nothing more than that, I saw through it when I was a child, if you really want to kill me, it's just a matter of one sentence, why use this threat?"

Su Zhi was so angry that she trembled, and at this time, the women who came to serve on the painting boat were so frightened that they hid aside, everyone was trembling, Su Zhi had no place to vent her anger, and suddenly dragged over a few women, splitting her head and covering her face was a few slaps, and scolded while beating:

"Damn, what are you hiding? Is Lao Tzu so hideous? See if Lao Tzu doesn't smoke you to death! ”

Su Zhi was violent, and killed several women on the spot, and the whole painting boat fell into an incomparable panic for a while, Su Qing watched coldly, watching Su Zhi behave more and more unorthodoxically, and immediately he couldn't help but shout:

"Su Zhi, if you really want to kill someone, you will kill me to relieve your hatred, what is it that a manly husband bullies a woman?"

Su Zhi roared angrily, pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed his long sword at Su Qing, and said, "Lao Tzu can kill if he wants to kill, who can stop him?" ”

After he finished speaking, he raised his long sword and was about to slash at Su Qing, Su Qing stared at him, and there was incomparable contempt in his eyes, he just stood still like that, he didn't think about dodging at all, as if he was really ready to die generously.

Su Zhi looked at Su Qing's appearance, and became more and more annoyed in her heart, so she really didn't care about it, and wanted to kill Su Qing, but at this moment, a loud cry sounded:

"Do you really want to start between Xiao Qiang and make everyone in the world laugh? Su Zhi, don't you want to stop soon? ”

Su Zhi put away the sword at this time, and turned her head to see that it was Su Xinghai.

Su Xinghai walked over with a gloomy face, stared at Su Zhi coldly, snorted softly, and said, "You are really so capable, if you are really so capable of killing, you can even kill the old decay!" Looking at the Su family, you will kill everyone, so that you can be the only one! ”

Su Zhi's face was blue and white for a while, his expression was very ugly, he was still afraid in his heart, and the person he was most afraid of in the Su family was Su Xinghai!

Hearing Su Xinghai say this, he was very unconvinced, and couldn't help but say, "Uncle, why didn't you say Su Qing?" Su Qing is against me everywhere, and he is sneering at me in every way, why is he? Who does our Su family rely on to get to where we are today? Could it be that it depends on him Su Qing? ”

Su Xinghai looked at Su Qing with his eyes, Su Qing twisted his head to the side, and said lightly: "Uncle, I have been infected with lung disease since last year, and I can't work hard to run errands, and I have a little savings over the years, so I just want to study more at home to recuperate, and I don't want to come out on errands, so please uncle can do it!" ”

Su Xinghai sighed softly and said: "That's fine, the moon is profitable, and the rigidity is weak, this is the eternal truth, Su Zhi, since Su Qing is bent on raising soldiers, you don't want to make it difficult for you, let him go!" ”

"I ......" Su Zhi stomped his feet fiercely, he didn't dare to turn his face in front of Su Xinghai after all, after collecting the long sword, he turned around and left, and soon disappeared.

In this way, only Su Zhi and Su Xinghai were left, the two were silent with each other and no one spoke, Su Xinghai said: "You should know what Su Zhi thinks in his heart, he just hopes that he can be recognized, you and him have always been close, and he especially hopes to get your approval at critical times!" ”

Su Qing let out a long breath and said, "Uncle, do you know that my Su family is in danger now?" My Su family's ancestor said that the Su family can never act against the general trend of heaven! Although the world is chaotic today, the discipline of the general trend has not completely declined, and Su Zhi's actions are completely for the tiger, harming the country and the people, and my Su family is now completely tied together, so I asked my uncle, aren't you worried that the Su family will suffer a catastrophe one day? ”

Su Xinghai raised his eyebrows, shook his head slightly, and after a while, he stomped his feet again, and said: "If the Su family is really destroyed, the only person who will destroy the Su family is Lu Zheng!" Other than that, we have room to manoeuvre in other situations. ”

Su Qing's face changed greatly, and he said, "Uncle, if you think like this...... Never! That will put my Su family in a place of no return! Uncle, if you let Jiang Nan and Lu Zheng break up, it will be a life-and-death feud from now on, if that's the case, it's really ...... It's really ...... No more maneuvers! ”

Su Xinghai sneered and said, "Su Qing, I see that you don't read too many books, but you read too many books. How can you achieve great things? How much has my Su family paid for Dakang over the years? Could it be that we can only live under others forever, and can only become the foil of other families and forces, and we ourselves cannot become the protagonists? Can't be a pillar of the nation?

Now that the world is in turmoil, it is really the time for our Su family to succeed, if we don't grasp it at this time, we are timid, can you still expect our Su family to be able to inherit it for thousands of years? That's a dream! ”

Su Xinghai said this, flicked his long sleeves, turned around and left, Su Qing stared at his back, his lips moved but he couldn't say a word! He has a lot of things to say, but he has already understood this matter, no one in the entire Su family will listen to him, since this is the case, then there is no need to say more!

Su Qing got down from the painting boat, and did not set foot on the way home, he went to Liuhe alone, wandering back and forth on the dock of Liuhe, and at the end, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind to take a boat directly from Liuhe to Jiangning, and then take the sea route north from Jiangning, his destination is Shandong!

The boat to Jiangning was just a flat boat, and Su Qing had nothing on his body, he made a decision immediately, so he didn't care about anything else, he decided to completely break with Su Zhi from now on, and completely break with the Su family, this is his will!

On the high platform in the distance, Su Xinghai put his hands behind his back, his eyes looked at the leaf boat on the big river, the housekeeper of the Su family was by his side, Su Fu, the housekeeper outside the Su Mansion, was a very shrewd man, he lowered his head, bent over, and said with a smile on his face: "Master, Young Master Qing can't go far, I can ask people to invite him back at any time!" ”

Su Xinghai shook his head and said: "Don't, you have to let him go, after arriving in Jiangning, let someone prepare to entangle him, and you must arrange to send him to the sea ship going north, there must be no mistakes!" ”

"For ...... Why? This...... This ......" Su Fu looked around and lowered his voice: "Will this chill Young Master Zhi's heart, now that my Su family is in full swing, only Young Master Qing is not in line with the crowd, so this is probably not a good thing for the Su family!" ”

Su Xinghai sneered and said, "I said a long time ago, the moon is profitable, and the Su family cannot prosper forever." To tell the truth, Su Zhi took too much risk for Jiangnan, if Lu Zheng eases up and comes to Jiangnan, how will the Su family deal with themselves at that time?

In such a situation in the north, Lu Zheng seems to be difficult, but even Song Naifeng can defeat him, such an opponent is really terrible for the Su family! The Su family can't put everything on Su Zhi, a hundred-year-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family, and the Su family's way of survival requires countless Su Qing, so, pass on my words, no one can be unfavorable to Su Qing, otherwise, kill! ”
