The short journey from the Queen Mother's bedroom did not arouse the warmth between the brother and sister, but what was recalled was all those unbearable pasts, betrayals, killings, and bloody pasts, which brought the two back to reality again.

When sitting in Min Ruoying's spacious study, the two of them were already the emperor of Chu State, and the other was the Empress of the Ming Dynasty with a mission.

The warmth is no longer there, and what is presented in front of the two is just a cold transaction.

"Qin Feng colluded with Qi people, set a trap for me to jump down, and then jumped out to hook people's hind legs, what does he want?" Min Ruoying looked at her sister and asked.

At this moment, when he completely erased the family affection in his heart, and looked at the Empress Daming in front of him, he didn't dare to have a little contempt, whether it was Min Ruoxi's heavy hook with the grandmaster-level masters of the Three Kingdoms to set a trap to let Li Zhi embark on the road of no return, or this unexpected return to Chu, in a short period of time, he let the court obey, and put all the military power of the country in the hands of the Queen Mother to the hands of Cheng Wuben, this little sister of the year, all showed superb political skills and scheming.

"The Qi people either choose us first, or choose the Chu State first, and they will inevitably defeat one at this time." Min Ruoxi said slowly: "The domestic contradictions in Qi have reached the point where they must be resolved, but when there are strong enemies on the left and right, Cao Tiancheng does not dare to act rashly, he doesn't want the domestic chaos together, he has to face the joint attack of the two countries." ”

"So he chose me Da Chu, didn't he? No, it's not, you helped him make the choice. Min Ruoying suppressed her anger and said.

"Second brother, you are wrong again. Qi originally chose us, whether it was to manipulate the rebellion of the barbarians and the four counties of the Northland, or to personally send troops to attack our Shayang County, they chose us at the beginning. In their opinion, the newborn Da Ming is naturally easier to deal with than the profound Da Chu. Min Ruoxi shook his head and said: "However, we have also been prepared for this, and we have buried countless back-hands, the only thing we didn't expect is that the Qin State will also collude with the Qi people and join the ranks of subverting my Daming, last year, was the most dangerous time for my Daming's life and death, but we survived." ”

Min Ruoxi looked at her second brother proudly: "We put down the rebellion between the barbarians and the four counties of the Northland as quickly as possible, and we crushed the main force of the Qin people in Hengdian in one fell swoop, and beheaded Deng Pu. We in Shayang, at the cost of tens of thousands of deaths, held off Cao Xiancheng's onslaught, and almost wiped out his entire army in the final counterattack. Emperor Qi chose us as a result, that is, he was collapsed with a full face, at this time he finally realized that although the Ming Dynasty was established not long ago, it was a fierce beast full of thorns, even if he attacked with all his strength and ate us, he would eventually be exhausted, and in the end it would only cheapen you. ”

"At this time, you should choose to unite with Da Chu, and we will work together to eat Da Qi. Min Ruoxi, you forgot that your surname is Min, even if you are the queen of the Ming Dynasty, you still have the blood of the Great Chu royal family in your veins. Min Ruoying roared.

Min Ruoxi smiled miserably: "Second brother, what's the use of talking about this now?" We have indeed quelled the civil strife, defeated the strong enemy, but we have done everything we can, we can't move, our savings for several years, spent all the money in the last year, and even saddled heavy debts for it, we owe almost every Ming citizen money. Our army suffered heavy casualties and needed to be reorganized, and in the battle of Shayang alone, the Houtu battalion was almost completely wiped out, the tiger battalion lost more than half, and countless county soldiers fell on the battlefield. We no longer have the strength to wage even a small campaign. Shayang, Kaiping, Zhengyang, there are battlefields everywhere, and the people are not living, so we need to ease this breath. ”

Min Ruoying clenched her teeth and glared at her sister.

"At this time, Emperor Qi came to the door." Min Ruoxi said: "We must make a choice again, either to collude with the Qi State, pull the Chu State into the water, and let the Chu State become the victorious product of the Qi State, or the Qi people turn their heads and go all out to deal with us." We know very well that even if we win this battle against the Qi State, the Qi State only needs to exert half of its strength, and it will never be something we can handle. We have no choice, what's more, the Qi people also opened a bargaining chip that we couldn't refuse, that is, to return the three counties of Yiyang, Wuling, and Taoyuan that were lost in the hands of the former super, and if we get these three counties back, we will take back Zhaoguan, with Zhaoguan, we will have an important pass to resist the Qi State, and it is no longer the past, the Qi people can fight us if they want, and leave if they want to. ”

"The drama is starting to play out, and I may have prayed in my heart that you would see through it and not be fooled. But when I heard that you had decided to send troops, I knew that your defeat was inevitable. Min Ruoxi stared at Min Ruoying: "Second brother, I am the queen of the Ming Dynasty, I am Qin Feng's wife, and I am Xiaowen Xiaowu's mother, what kind of choice will I make, this is obvious." ”

"Good, good." Min Ruoying sneered: "In that case, why are you dragging people back now?" ”

"Quite simply, we've relieved ourselves." Min Ruoxi's emotions slowly calmed down and looked at the other party: "We can't watch the Qi people destroy the Chu State, this is not in the interests of our Ming Dynasty, because once the Chu State is destroyed, the Ming Dynasty will also be unable to support it alone." We must have a capable helper to contain the strength of the Qi people by the side, so that the Qi country will never dare to act rashly after this battle. It's just that Second Brother, you are so stupid that you let hundreds of thousands of eastern border troops be wiped out, but we never thought of it. ”

Min Ruoying was furious and slammed her fist on the table, but Min Ruoxi ignored his anger at all, but said to herself: "We guessed that the Chu State would fail, but we didn't expect that it would be such a big defeat. Therefore, we can only openly send troops to help Wu Teng attack Lingchuan, we can only openly start to provoke the Qi people in Zhaoguan, the cavalry repeatedly crossed the border, we launched a secret agent in the territory of Qi State, and did our best to help An Ruhai, for this reason, the network we finally laid down in Qi State was almost wiped out by ghosts. ”

But even so, it was clear that the general trend had gone, but fortunately, Cheng Wuben showed his due level at this time, and he immediately withdrew his troops and returned to Jinghu, allowing us to see the opportunity. I immediately went to Quanzhou and did my best to raise food and money for him, and persuaded Ning Zhiwen, the leader of the big pirates, to go to Jinghu with his pirates and warships to help Cheng Wuben in the war. Then rushed to Shangjing non-stop, with the help of the queen mother, all the command power of the country was gathered in the hands of Cheng Wuben, so that Cheng Wu instinct could stabilize the Jinghu defense line, if Jinghu was stable, then most of the Great Chu would be temporarily worry-free. ”

"Cheng Wuben!" Min Ruoying snorted coldly.

"Second brother, do you want to kill him?" Min Ruoxi raised her eyebrows. "He may be disloyal to you, but Yu Dachu is worthy of it, if he didn't take the opportunity to withdraw his troops, I'm afraid that Dachu is now full of beacons, as long as he dares to go to Luzhou, Zhou Jiyun will inevitably let him go, and then Zhou Ji's army will be overwhelming, who will stop the Qi soldiers at that time?"

"I am the country, a general who is disloyal to me, the greater the ability, the greater the harm!" Min Ruoying said coldly.

Min Ruoxi looked at Min Ruoying in a daze for a long time, "Even if you want to kill him, it's not at this time." ”

"Of course I know that." Min Ruoying smiled coldly: "Didn't you help him get the military command of the whole country?" Even if I am the emperor, it is impossible to take it back with a word, the ship will be difficult to turn around, and if I forcibly turn around, the ship will definitely capsize. I will wait, until the Jinghu defense line is as stable as a rock, when the internal strife in Qi intensifies, and when everything is under my control, I will not attack him. Little sister, you can't help him. ”

Min Ruoxi nodded: "Qin Feng said that Cheng Wu is a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, if he is willing to serve the Ming Dynasty, Qin Feng will immediately give the military command of the whole country with both hands." It's a pity that he only has Da Chu in his heart, and you can't tolerate him, this is his sorrow, and it is not the sorrow of Da Chu. ”

Min Ruoying laughed: "Little sister, Cheng Wu has already colluded with you, and you don't have to say such things to deceive me." There are talented people in the country, I am full of talents, there is no Cheng Wuben, naturally there are Zhang Wuben, Li Wuben, as long as I survive this difficulty, I will get everything I have lost. ”

"I hope so!" Min Ruoxi exhaled a breath of turbidity: "Second brother, I advise you, within two or three years, don't use the book." ”

Min Ruoying was noncommittal: "This is my internal affairs of Dachu, so I don't have to worry about Queen Daming." When you returned to Chu State, you have done everything you want to do, but you have been waiting for me to come back in Beijing, you don't want to talk to me about your brother and sister, right? What else does Qin Feng want? ”

"The Ming mission is about to arrive in Beijing." Min Ruoxi said lightly: "After this big defeat of the Chu State, even if Cheng Wuben tries his best to resist the troops of the Qi State on the border, it is still very difficult, so of course, our Ming will help the Chu State, not only to block the troops of the Qi people, but also to be able to constantly counterattack, not only to consume the strength of the Qi people." ”

"Help me Dachu and send troops?" Min Ruoying sneered.

"Of course it can't be, but we are willing to sell my Da Ming's weapons to the Chu State. Second brother, you also know that the benefits of my Ming Dynasty are the best in the world, even if it is the Qi country, it is far inferior to ours, we only have about 100,000 troops, but we can win three wars at the same time, and that's all we have to fight. Min Ruoxi looked at each other and said, "I just don't know if you want to buy it?" ”

Min Ruoying's eyes widened immediately, of course he wanted to buy it. The weapons of the Ming people, the Chu State through various channels, more or less also got a little bit, but what made the Chu people desperate was that they could not imitate it at all, and the absolute gap in iron smelting and steel making them completely unable to make these powerful weapons. In the past, it was impossible for the Ming people to sell these militaristic weapons, if they had these equipment, then what Qi people were the Chu State afraid of?
