The emperor has been worried about the border fortress these days. Qingzhu didn't want to get involved, but seeing the emperor's gloomy look made him feel very unhappy.

"What is the emperor worried about?" Qingzhu walked to the emperor and asked.

The emperor held Qingzhu in his arms and said, "It's just some political matters."

Qingzhu looked at the emperor and asked, "Does the emperor trust Qingzhu?"

The emperor said to Qingzhu, "In this world, I don't believe who does Qingzhu believe?"

Qingzhu smiled so happily that she decided that she would help the emperor solve the border issue. "Then please tell the emperor what worries you."

The emperor looked at Qingzhu. He knew that Qingzhu was a smart woman and she wanted to help him. He felt very relieved. Qingzhu's actions showed that Qingzhu still had his own feelings in his heart. The military power held by the prime minister was a serious problem for him.

, coupled with the fact that everyone in the imperial court only feared and obeyed him, and no one dared to tell the truth to him, it made him even more in need of a truly trustworthy and reliable person, and the best candidate was Qingzhu, so the emperor sent him to the frontier fortress.

I told Qingzhu everything.

Qingzhu sat on the chair and quietly thought about how to deal with it. The emperor peeled her favorite oranges for Qingzhu. After peeling them, he handed them to Qingzhu. Qingzhu took the oranges from the emperor and said, "If we want to solve the border issue, we should first

Solve the prime minister problem."

The emperor asked, "The Prime Minister is a veteran of the court. If the Prime Minister is easily abolished, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction in the court. In addition, the ministers' degree of confidence in him will be more or less a threat to me."

Qingzhu said to the emperor, "Compared with the Eight Wise Kings or the Prime Minister, which one is more popular?"

The Emperor said, "The Eight Wise Kings are sincere and unpretentious, and they always treat people and things fairly. He is not as cunning and cunning as the Prime Minister, and his city is very deep. He always treats people sincerely and has more affinity. He is the weight of the Eight Wise Kings in the court."

It’s also very important. If you compare the two with each other, it’s really hard to tell the difference.”

Qingzhu quickly came up with an idea and said, "Since there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, how about we have a snipe and a clam fight over each other and the fisherman gets the benefit?"

The emperor lovingly placed a kiss on Qingzhu's face and said, "My beloved concubine is really a treasure of mine. Since my beloved concubine has already thought of a plan, I am willing to hear the details."

Qingzhu said, "The affairs of the frontier fortress will be left to the Eight Wise Kings and the Prime Minister with full authority. Whoever can convince the frontier fortress will have military power. Although the military power is in the hands of the prime minister, as long as the prime minister cannot convince the frontier fortress, the military power will belong to the Eight Wise Kings. Even if

There is no reason for anyone to object, are you right, Your Majesty?"

The emperor chuckled, "That makes sense."

Qingzhu continued, "Our purpose is to convince the frontier fortress first. No matter who convinces the frontier fortress, we will be the winners. We can also give the prime minister a disincentive. Don't think that because he is favored by the emperor, you will be afraid, and let him think of the Eight Sages."

The king is his biggest opponent. Only by getting rid of the Eight Wise Kings can his position be more stable. Soon the prime minister's ambition will be exposed. Let's convict him again and abolish the prime minister, killing two birds with one stone."

The emperor laughed, "Haha, I kill two birds with one stone."

In the morning, the emperor said to the ministers, "The frontier fortress has always been a worry for me. Now the frontier fortress wants to occupy our country's territory, using the reason that Princess Bai was thrown into the cold palace. I have been troubled by this matter. I don't know what the ministers have."

What a clever plan?"

A minister said, "I believe that Princess Bai should be appointed as the queen. Only in this way can we calm the anger of the frontiers and live in peace."

The emperor asked, "If the frontier fortress makes another request and says that only if the imperial concubine sits on my dragon chair will it not attract our country's attention, should I give up the dragon chair?"

The minister immediately knelt down and said, "I deserve to die."

The emperor ignored him and continued, "Since no one has paid better attention, I will tell you what I think. I decided to let the eight wise kings and the prime minister handle this matter together. If anyone can convince the frontier, I will reward him with military power."

, do you have any objections?"

The Eight Wise Kings said, "My brother does not understand the affairs of the frontier fortress, so he must be unable to bear the heavy responsibility."

The emperor asked, "Eight Wise King, you used to ignore the government affairs just to have some leisure time. I understand you, but now the border fortress has threatened the country's territorial issues. There is a saying that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. Do you still want to resign?"

?"

The Eighth Sage King said, "My brother is willing to work with the prime minister to solve the border issue."

When the emperor saw that the Eight Wise Kings had agreed, he stood up and left the hall. Eunuch Su shouted, "Retreat from the court!"

After resigning from the court, the Eighth Prince was stopped by the Prime Minister as soon as he walked out of the hall. The Prime Minister said to the Eighth Prince, "Does the Eighth Prince have any countermeasures to deal with the frontier fortress?"

The Eighth Sage King had always had a bad impression of the prime minister. He thought that this old fox would have no way of getting anything out of him, so he said, "Of course there is."

The prime minister hurriedly asked, "What are the countermeasures?"

The Eight Wise Kings said contemptuously, "The emperor said that we should handle the border fortress affairs together, but he did not say that we should discuss it together? Is the Prime Minister worried that the military power will not be preserved?"

The prime minister pretended to be calm and said, "You are joking, why should I worry about this? There is a saying that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If it is really the Eighth Prince who persuades the frontier this time, the old minister is willing to give up the military power."

"

The Eight Wise Kings smiled and said, "I hope the Prime Minister will keep his word and don't cry to me when the time comes. Haha, I will take the first step."

The prime minister looked at the leaving figure of the Eight Wise Kings and was furious. Hey, you Eight Wise Kings, don't think that I am afraid of you just because you are a prince. No one can do it except me to convince the border guards. Look, you are missing.

If the coffin doesn't shed tears, we'll just wait and see.

Qingzhu sat by the lotus pond, soaking his feet in the water, looking at the fish swimming freely, he couldn't help but feel envious. When can he leave the palace and be as free as a fish?

"See Qing Huangfei."

Qingzhu looked up and saw that it was the Eight Wise Kings, and said, "You are here."

The Eighth Sage King looked at Qingzhu and couldn't help but feel a little painful. The woman he loved the most was married to his own brother. Such a combination made him feel uncomfortable. "You haven't changed at all."

Qingzhu smiled and said to the Eight Wise Kings, "I see you have changed. There is a little more sadness in your eyes."

The Eight Wise Kings sat on the stone bench and said with an expression, "Really?"

Qingzhu splashed into the water with his feet, and ripples appeared in the water. Qingzhu said, "It's just that you didn't notice it. I came to you this time to ask for something important."

The Eight Wise Kings asked, "As long as I can do it, I will try my best."

Qingzhu looked at the Eight Wise Kings and said with a smile, "It's very simple, just go against the prime minister, and the more obvious the better."

The Eighth Sage King felt that Qingzhu's words were a bit strange and asked, "Do you have any grudge against the prime minister?"

Qingzhu said, "Didn't you say that as long as you can do something, you will do your best? Are you afraid of the prime minister as soon as you hear it?"

The Eighth Sage King chuckled and said, "Why am I afraid of that old man? I just want to know why you are targeting the prime minister. Since you don't want to tell me, I won't force you, so I just agree."

The summer wind blew by, and the hair of the green bamboo floated in the wind, and a faint fragrance filled the air. The Eighth Prince looked at the beautiful green bamboo in front of him, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. When he found that he fell in love with the green bamboo,

Qingzhu left him, and when he finally met her again, she became his brother's beloved concubine. How could he bear such a blow? Since he cannot love her openly, he should bury this love deeply.
