Linchuan, Prince Qin's Residence.
At the invitation of the King of Qin, the King of Zhao set off not long ago. He traveled thousands of miles and came to Linchuan.
The fief of the King of Zhao was Yong 'an.
It is adjacent to Linchuan, the fief of the King of Qin. The distance between them is only more than a thousand miles. The two of them are often seen by the emperor.
Inside the hall.
The two sat opposite each other and talked happily.
His Highness's dancers swayed as the music started. It was as if they were listening to music.
After three rounds of wine.
Their faces were flushed red, and the alcohol had gotten to their heads.
"Fourth Brother."
"Why is this big brother so muddle-headed?”
After taking a swig of the strong wine in the bowl, the King of Zhao felt dizzy and said to the King of Qin,""It's fine that Eldest Brother hasn't chosen a Crown Prince all these years, but after his illness, he actually let our eldest niece ascend the throne.”
"A woman as emperor?"
"Hahaha, what a joke.”
King Zhao, who was drunk, did not care about the occasion at all. As he spoke, he laughed out loud.
His smile caused all the dancers to turn pale.
"Fifth Brother, be careful with your words."
When the slightly tipsy Qin Wang heard this, he was also shocked. He hurriedly silenced the King of Zhao,
At the same time, he gave a look to someone in the hall.
"Here."
Although Qin Wang didn't say it clearly, this person understood and bowed.
A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes as he led the terrified dancers out of the hall.
"Fifth brother."
After all the dancers had left, leaving only two people in the hall, the king of Qin heaved a sigh of relief.
"There are some things that can be said, but there are some things that can't be said.”
"It's fine if you and I talk about these things between brothers, but if others hear it and spread it out.”
"Even if our eldest niece doesn't directly attack you and me, I'm afraid our future days won't be good.”
The King of Qin's words did not conceal the fear he had for their eldest niece at all.
It was true that the empress was a woman.
But similarly, no matter how unwilling the world was, she was still the ruler of Great Zhou and controlled the country.
The two of them usually visited each other and chatted about their daily lives.
However, at this juncture, it was already a topic of discussion.
If what King Zhao had said was leaked, everyone would think that he was the King of Zhao.
The two of them wanted to rebel.
"Hiss!"
As soon as the King of Qin finished speaking, the King of Zhao instantly sobered up and broke out in a cold sweat.
"Thank you for your reminder, Fourth Brother.”
King Zhao smiled bitterly as he cupped his hands, feeling a little scared.
"You don't have to panic. Only you and I know about this. I've already gotten someone to deal with those dancers.”
"However, Fifth Brother, you still need to pay more attention in the future.”
The royal family was heartless, but most of the Great Zhou royal family still had friendship.
It was even more so for the King of Qin and the King of Zhao.
········
Ever since they were young, they had grown up wearing the same pair of pants, and even their fiefs were adjacent to each other.
Naturally, their relationship would not be unfamiliar.
"I know."
Hearing this, the King of Zhao nodded slightly.
"Fifth brother."
"I won't hide it from you. The reason why I asked you to come to Linchuan is to see what you think of our niece.”
Seeing the King of Zhao nod, the King of Qin did not say anything else. Instead, his expression turned solemn.
"You said before that it's a huge joke for a woman to be the emperor.”
"But since what's done is done, we can't change anything.”
"I don't have any objections."
"Even though I have some complaints in my heart, she is still our eldest niece.”
At this point, the king of Qin narrowed his eyes and looked deeply at the king of Zhao.
This gaze was extremely sharp, causing King Zhao to feel uneasy.
"Fourth brother, what do you mean?”
Zhao Wang, who felt uncomfortable being stared at, immediately widened his eyes and his face was filled with anger.
"Fourth brother, are you saying that this king will be dissatisfied with our eldest niece ascending the throne and will rebel against our eldest niece?”
Seeing the King of Zhao's reaction, the anger in his eyes did not seem to be fake. The King of Qin immediately smiled.
"Of course I didn't mean that."
"You and I brothers have known each other since we were young. I know that even if you are dissatisfied with my eldest niece's ascension, you will not rebel.”
"But just because you and I don't know how to do it doesn't mean that others don't.”
The King of Qin's words caused the King of Zhao's expression to change. A strange light flashed in his eyes.
He looked around and after confirming that there was no one around, he asked in a low voice,"Fourth Brother, from what you're saying, do you think Second Brother will rebel?”
"Second Brother will definitely rebel."
" Yes." The King of Qin nodded and said in a deep voice," After our eldest niece ascended the throne, I received news that the Second Prince has already begun to train his soldiers and horses, prepare rations, and many other matters.”
"There are no more wars in the Southern Domain.”
"Nanman has been under Second Brother's attack for years and has long been unable to achieve anything.”
"Think about it. Other than rebellion, what other war is worth his preparation?”
After hearing this, the King of Zhao's expression was a little complicated. He did not know what to say.
Prince Li was his second brother.
He was his brother.
Once someone rebelled, with his explosive temper, he didn't even need the imperial court's order and directly led the army to suppress them.
However, if the person who rebelled was his second brother, Prince Li…
"Yes, I am."
"Second Brother will definitely not let go of this opportunity.”
After a long silence, King Zhao sighed and drank the wine on the table.
"Before this, Second Brother was quite dissatisfied with Father making Big Brother the Crown Prince. Even after Father passed away, Second Brother never came back.”
"Now that my eldest niece has ascended the throne, the people are unstable and the ministers are divided.”
"How could Second Brother miss this opportunity?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the King of Zhao did not want to talk to the King of Qin anymore. Instead, he drank bowl after bowl of wine.
Seeing this, the king of Qin did not stop him.
Instead, an inexplicable look flashed across his eyes. He slowly stood up and walked out of the hall.
"Old Fifth is a simple and honest person.”
Looking up at the bright moon, Qin Wang was silent for a long time before he finally sighed.
"It seems like…"
"King Zhao will not help you."
A figure had appeared behind Qin Wang.
"I can see determination in King Zhao's eyes.”
"If Prince Li rebelled, he would not allow Prince Li to invade the Great Zhou Empire and fight with him.”
This person's words made Qin Wang's expression extremely complicated.
"Yes, I am."
"Although the fifth brother values relationships, he values the foundation of the Zhou Dynasty more.”
"Whether it's King Li, King Yan, or me rebelling, to him, it's all a disaster for the Great Zhou Dynasty. He doesn't want to see such a thing happen.”
As Qin Wang spoke, a trace of killing intent suddenly emerged from his body. His eyes were even colder.
The person behind him laughed excitedly and muttered,"Fifth brother, if you don't want to help me…"
"Then, don't blame this king for being heartless."
