Joy of Life: Starting from the Prince of Zhennan in Northern Qi!

Chapter 9 Emperor Qi’s plan, is it a job or a trap?
Emperor Qi nodded: "Yes! Indeed, this method is indeed a bit stupid! Fortunately you reminded me, I should have made a good plan to take your life!"

Yang Xiu frowned, he was a little confused.

Was the Emperor of Qi joking or did he really think so?

This guy, he doesn't really intend to take his own life!

Yang Xiu took two steps away from Emperor Qi imperceptibly.

Ready to summon the Wushuang Sword Box at any time.

The Emperor of Qi acted as if he hadn't noticed Yang Xiu's actions. "I've thought about it! I really don't have a good opportunity to kill you. Let's talk about it when I come back! However, I do have a task for you!"

Yang Xiu never let down his guard.

"Your Majesty, please speak! I will not refuse even if I die!"

The Emperor of Qi said in a playful tone: "Are you really willing to die? Then why are you so far away from me?"

Yang Xiu said: "Your Majesty is protected by dragon energy! I am so close that it is hard for me to breathe! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Qi waved his hand and said, "Whatever you say, that's it! Although you are young now, you have been very smart since childhood! It's time for you to help me share my worries! After I leave, I plan to hand over the guards of this palace to you! Let you protect the safety of this palace!"

Yang Xiu frowned and said, "Your Majesty! The current palace guards are under the charge of General Uesugi! It would be inappropriate for me to interfere!"

Emperor Qi said, "It doesn't matter. This time, I plan to take Shangshan Hu with me! He hasn't been back to the barracks for a long time. He is a brave general, and he is also constrained in this palace. It's a pity that his bravery is wasted!"

Yang Xiu said: "Since it is your majesty's order, I will obey it!"

Emperor Qi nodded: "I will have someone draft an edict later! The safety of this palace depends on you!"

Yang Xiu bowed: "Yes! I will definitely not let your majesty down!"

Emperor Qi said, "Oh, right! There is one more thing! I am going to announce Doudou's identity! I am annoyed by the ministers in the court who do not know the truth! They want to make Doudou the crown prince! What do you think?"

Yang Xiu became anxious when he heard this.

He knew that this was the first time that Emperor Qi would not be able to come back.

Even if Yang Xiu wanted to save Emperor Qi, he would be powerless if the fact that Zhan Doudou was a princess was made public.

How to take over the throne after that?

Yang Xiu said quickly, "Your Majesty! I don't think it's urgent now! Your Majesty has no son, and it happens to be the eve of the outbreak of war. After years of recuperation, Nanqing will surely send troops with thunder and lightning! Your Majesty might as well follow the wishes of the civil and military officials in the court and make Doudou the crown prince! On the one hand, it can calm the hearts of the civil and military officials in the court, so that the civil and military officials in the court will not panic when the war starts! Secondly, the people also need to know that the country has a crown prince, so that they will have more trust in our Da Qi! What if the situation in the past occurs! When your majesty comes back and the prince is born, your majesty can tell the civil and military officials of your considerations today, and then restore Doudou's status! Just make the prince the crown prince!"

Emperor Qi nodded: "That makes some sense! Then let's do as you say. I will tell all the officials about this matter during the morning court tomorrow! Well, I'm tired, you go to Pian Pian! You young people should get together more often!"

Yang Xiu was completely confused.

Is it that simple?

Yang Xiu bowed and said, "I'll take my leave!"

After Yang Xiu left, the old eunuch who went to pick him up came to the side of Emperor Qi at some point in time.

"What do you think?"

Emperor Qi asked.

The old eunuch said: "The young prince's talent is truly rare in history!"

Emperor Qi nodded: "Do you think I should kill him?"

The old eunuch was silent for a moment: "Your Majesty has already made up his mind! Why does he need me to say more?"

The Emperor of Qi raised his lips and said, "You old fellow! You are very smooth. I will give him this chance! If he fails to seize the opportunity, he will die! No one can say anything! But, do you think he can think of it?"

The old eunuch shook his head: "I don't know! But I should be able to think of it. After all, the young prince is really smart!"

Emperor Qi sighed, "Forget it! I don't care about what happens next! This time, I can't even say if I can come back!"

The old eunuch hesitated and said, "Your Majesty! You don't have to go!"

Emperor Qi shook his head, "I have been hiding for long enough! I have been hiding for so many years, letting Nanqing let down its guard against Daqi! I have bought myself so many years of rest and recuperation! Unfortunately, I was still seen through! I don't want to hide anymore, my old injuries have recurred! My realm is not even stable at the eighth level! This battle! I want to buy Daqi another ten years! Give Daqi another ten years! By then, even if Daqi cannot compare with Nanqing, it will not be too far behind!"

The old eunuch did not speak, but stood quietly behind Emperor Qi. On the other side, Yang Xiu left the Imperial Garden.

His brows were furrowed.

He was a little confused as to why Emperor Qi called him today.

Give him a job?

Or maybe to scare him?
But isn't this a bit too trifling?

Just like what Yang Xiu himself said, if he died, too many things would be involved.

So even if the Emperor of Qi wanted to kill him, he needed a reasonable reason.

Otherwise, the backlash caused would be troublesome even for the Emperor of Qi.

Reasons, reasons!
Yang Xiu murmured a few words softly.

Then, his eyes suddenly widened.

He seemed to suddenly understand something.

The problem lies with the job I was assigned.

What the Emperor of Qi said were not all jokes.

He might have really thought of a way to take his own life.

That is my duty as the commander of the imperial guards.

The commander of the imperial guards is of great importance.

He is responsible for the protection of the entire palace and is also the first target that all rebels want to win over.

The Emperor of Qi was digging a hole for himself. In this battle, Yang Xiu knew very well the outcome: Northern Qi would win miserably.

Even the Emperor of Qi would die. The Emperor of Qi could not have predicted that he would die, but he could also predict how intense the battle situation would be.

By then, when the battle situation is reported back to Northern Qi, people will definitely be in turmoil.

Some ambitious people will jump out.

And if you want to rebel, this is the best opportunity!

After all, Northern Qi is now weak in national strength, and the only ones who can lead the troops are Uesugi Tora and his own father.

This time, Emperor Qi planned to take them all away.

In other words, the Northern Qi Imperial Palace was empty.

As long as I have the intention to rebel, I will not let go of this opportunity.

If we follow this line of thinking, the Emperor of Qi must have left a backup plan that could deal with him.

When I die at that time, I will be regarded as a traitor and my death will be in vain.

You have a suitable reason, and not only will no one speak for you, but you will be infamous for eternity.

They are rebels after all.

So what was Emperor Qi’s back-up plan?

Yang Xiu’s eyes suddenly widened.

He forgot one thing.

The real trump card of Northern Qi was never the soldiers, the army, or even who among the ministers in the court.

Rather, he is the one who stands at the top of the continent in terms of military strength and is able to defeat an entire country alone.

Grandmaster, Ku He!
