Li Keyong took the token and said calmly, "Where does the joy come from?"

"My foster father took back Tongwenguan from my eldest brother without a single drop of blood. Isn't that a happy event?"

"Li Siyuan has great ambitions and can endure so much. He should not be underestimated!"

"Could it be that godfather meant...?"

Li Cunren made a downward chopping motion with his palm.

“It hasn’t come to that.”

"As long as I'm here, your elder brother won't be able to cause any trouble."

"On the contrary, the Qi country's general Su Qingjue is definitely not a good person."

"Over the years, I have been sending people to monitor his actions."

"It is found that he is far superior to the former Qi Wang Li Maozhen in terms of governing the country and winning the hearts of the people."

"What's even more unbelievable is that the Dark Emperor Zhu Yougui couldn't even last a single round in his hands..."

"And the group of shadow assassins who crippled Zhu Wen's arm are probably his subordinates."

"I never thought that among the bad guys, there would be such an extraordinary person. Unknowingly, he has the appearance of a king."

"Besides, he is still so young..."

As he said this, murderous intent rose in Li Keyong's only remaining eye.

He continued, "If this boy is not eliminated, he will become a huge trouble in the end!"

"Godfather, I am willing to help you solve your problems!" Li Cunren said with a fist salute.

"It's late in the evening with clouds and frost, who is saddened by the song of death? It takes a thousand days to train an army, but only a moment to deploy it. Now 'Shang' can be dispatched..."

"Yes!"

----

Feng Xiang.

The General’s Mansion, study.

Su Qingjue gently put down the memorial in his hand, then looked at the ministers below and said in a deep voice.

"Once the Dark Emperor Zhu Yougui dies, Daliang will be in chaos."

"Now is a good time to raise an army and attack Liang."

"This general wants to lead the troops to go to war. What do you think?"

When the ministers heard that they were going to attack Liang State, not only did they not have any objections, but they became excited.

They looked at Su Qingjue with fiery eyes.

This resolution seems to have been long awaited.

Su Qingjue took in all their expectations and was not surprised by the result.

In fact, he had anticipated the reactions of his ministers long before he proposed this idea.

The State of Qi has been developing silently for so many years. Now that it has sufficient weapons and armor, it is time to march south, sweep across the Central Plains, and create an unprecedented feat!

When he unified the world, these ministers were credited with following him.

That's why they were so excited when they heard that Su Qingjue was preparing to go to war.

Everyone is gearing up to do something big.

However, there was one person in the entire study who did not fit in with those ministers.

This person was Zhang Zifan, who was standing next to Su Qingjue and listening.

Ever since Zhang Zifan learned that his biological father was knocked off a cliff by Li Siyuan, he made up his mind to seek revenge.

In his opinion, staying with Su Qingjue is the best and quickest way to take revenge.

Su Qingjue originally wanted to recruit Zhang Zifan under his command, so he was naturally happy to see this happen.

So he let Zhang Zifan participate in the political affairs of Qi State.

It has to be said that Zhang Zifan is indeed very talented in handling government affairs.

Faced with some complicated and trivial matters, he can always handle them quickly and perfectly.

Sometimes I can even draw inferences from one example and think of many things that others have not thought of.

This also brought Su Qingjue a great surprise.

now.

When Zhang Zifan heard that Su Qingjue was preparing to lead his troops into battle, he immediately expressed his different opinion.

"General, if you launch an attack on Liang now, won't that give other princes a chance to reap the benefits?"

"In my opinion, you should secretly accumulate strength and continue to wait for the right opportunity..."

Su Qingjue listened carefully to Zhang Zifan's opinions.

Then, he chuckled and said, "Of course I won't let other princes have the opportunity to reap the benefits."

"But if you lead the troops to attack Liang..." Zhang Zifan's tone was quite urgent.

He felt that sending troops at this time was definitely a brain-wracking move.

Even though Qi State has developed very well in recent years, war is not a child's play after all, and winning or losing does not matter.

If Qi and Daliang come to war, the final result is likely to be mutual destruction.

Then Qi and Daliang will be swallowed up by other vassal forces.

This is a situation where one wrong move will lead to a complete loss.

Seeing Su Qingjue's firm attitude, Zhang Zifan couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, just listen to what I have to say. It's not too late to sigh then." Su Qingjue said helplessly.

"I have naturally considered the issues you mentioned."

"In order to prevent other vassal forces from taking advantage of the situation..."

"So... I plan to invite all the princes to Qi State in the name of the Son of Heaven to discuss the matter of attacking Liang..."

Hearing this, Zhang Zifan was shocked.

He exclaimed, "You want to... use the emperor to control the princes..."

"So what?"

……

……

Chapter 73: Holding the emperor hostage to control the princes!

"Have you ever considered Brother Li's feelings when you do this?"

There was a hint of anger in Zhang Zifan's words.

After all, he and Li Xingyun have experienced life and death along the way, and they can be considered friends for life and death.

Faced with the idea suddenly proposed by Su Qingjue, he felt that it was unfair to Li Xingyun and naturally wanted to stand up for him.

Although he had to admit that this was indeed the best way to solve the problem of the princes.

Raising an army in the name of the emperor to attack Liang would be a just army from a moral perspective.

Then tie all the princes to the chariot of Qi State. If the attack on Liang State is successful in the end, Qi State and this great general will be the biggest beneficiaries.

But the problem is, this move is equivalent to roasting Li Xingyun on the fire...

In this case, what difference does it make whether Li Xingyun goes to Jin State or stays in Qi State? He is just a pawn in the hands of others.

"Li Xingyun has already agreed." Su Qingjue said calmly.

Hearing this, Zhang Zifan's expression froze slightly.

He couldn't understand why Li Xingyun agreed.

Is it just because the other party saved his life?

But how is Su Qingjue's behavior different from pulling people out of a fire pit and then throwing them into a bigger fire pit?

Zhang Zifan was about to say something else, but Su Qingjue raised her hand to stop him.

Su Qingjue looked at the ministers below and said, "You should go back and prepare first!"

"Yes, the minister will retire!"

After all the ministers left, only Su Qingjue and Zhang Zifan were left in the conference room.

Zhang Zifan looked at Su Qingjue, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Seeing this, Su Qingjue chuckled and said, "There's no one else here right now, so just say whatever you want. Don't be too cautious in front of me."

Hearing this, Zhang Zifan came to the center of the hall.

He clasped his fists and bowed towards Su Qingjue and asked:

"General, I don't know why Brother Li agreed with your approach, but even if he agreed, can you be sure that other princes are willing to participate in the attack on Liang?"

"So what if it's the Emperor's Order? Now that the Tang Dynasty has fallen, Li Xingyun's identity has long been meaningless..."

Su Qingjue played with the jade seal on the desk and said with a contemptuous smile, "I just want to take this opportunity to see if any of these princes are willing to do something for the people of this world!"

"I tell you the truth, whether those people come or not, I, the general of Daliang, will definitely destroy him!"

There was a determined light in Su Qingjue's eyes, and seeing this, Zhang Zifan couldn't help but fall into silence.

For some reason, Zhang Zifan suddenly had the illusion that Su Qingjue would be able to conquer the world.

After a long while, he suddenly spoke.

"I would like to ask the general, if the attack on Liang is successful in the future and Li Xingyun is no longer useful, how will you deal with him?"

Zhang Zifan was more worried that Su Qingjue would destroy his bridge after crossing it and get rid of Li Xingyun when he was no longer of any use to him.

"Hmm..." Su Qingjue hesitated for a moment and said:

"Let him live a life of leisure..."

"How's that answer?"

Zhang Zifan bowed to Su Qingjue and said, "Then I would like to thank the general on behalf of Brother Li!"

Su Qingjue stood up and walked straight out of the meeting room.

When he passed by Zhang Zifan, he stopped.

Su Qingjue looked calm. He glanced at Zhang Zifan and said softly, "The troubled times have come. I want to bring peace back to the world. I wonder if Brother Zhang is willing to help me?"

Zhang Zifan clasped his hands together and remained silent.

Although he helped Su Qingjue deal with many matters these days.

But this does not mean that he is willing to serve under Su Qingjue and become his private minister.

Zhang Zifan’s only wish now is to find his father Zhang Daoling as soon as possible and help him rebuild the Tianshi Mansion.

Then he would practice hard, become strong quickly, and then seek revenge on Li Siyuan.

"In that case, I won't force it."

Su Qingjue was not surprised by Zhang Zifan's rejection.

As the only heir of this generation in Tianshi Mansion, Zhang Zifan naturally shoulders the heavy responsibility of revitalizing Tianshi Mansion.

Therefore, it was completely normal for Zhang Zifan, who already knew his background, to reject him.

However, this will not shake his idea of ​​recruiting Zhang Zifan.

It is true that Zhang Zifan is such a useful tool. With his help these days, Su Qingjue feels a lot more relaxed.
