The King of Qi knew that his son was not good, his friends were not good, and no one in the royal family took on the responsibility.

Looking for a successor was the most important thing that made him anxious about the King of Qi a few years ago. This is the fundamental matter, and it is a matter of survival and death. The King of Qi was not allowed to ignore it.

Then Xu Zixian appeared at the right time, which made King Qi's eyes lit up.

Next was a lot of considerations and help. The help King Qi gave Xu Zixian was not very big, and it was even just a small bet.

The next time, he gained a lot until Xu Zi first killed Chen Yutai.

What made the King of Qi make up his mind was not the war on the river beach, nor the reckless behavior of the capital, nor the surprise attack at the port of Qizhou.

It was only after Xu Zi first paid attention to refugees, helped the people, and showed the responsibility and kindness of a politician, that King Qi was truly determined to choose Xu Zi first as his successor.

The King of Qi has seen many capable people, and there are not many kind people.

As for those who are capable and quite kind, King Qi has only seen Xu Zixian alone so far.

To put it another way, King Qi was looking for a talent who was most similar to him and could perfectly inherit his legacy. Fortunately, he found Xu Zixian.

Whether it is based on family background, bloodline, ability, ethics, and personality, Xu Zixian is undoubtedly the King of Qi with a stronger ability. He is as kind-hearted as a person, and is considerate of the people. From the care of Wuzhe, refugees, and the residents of Nan'an Town, the King of Qi can be sure that Xu Zixian is a talent in the royal family who can protect the country and the people. His future achievements will only be above him, not below him.

The only obstacle is the King of Zhao. Although King Qi was a hereditary prince, his ancestral bloodline was too far apart from the King of Zhao, that is, the Wenzong lineage. The royal family recommended him, even if he had been pushed for ten rounds, in terms of bloodline, King Qi would not have a chance.

Xu Zixian is completely different. His close bloodline of the Wenzong lineage, coupled with his outstanding military achievements and high reputation, not only poses a strong threat to the King of Zhao, but even today, Zi still feels that the throne under his butt is not stable... The emperor's personal morality is still past, but he has no rules in governing the court officials. He is a mediocre person who cannot inspire loyalty. He is also stingy, mean, and ruthless. Xu Zixian's existence is simply a shameless reflection of the emperor.

It is still a small-scale war now. What if one day Xu Zixian could control more than 100,000 wing troops, defeat the invading 100,000 pirates, or be ordered by the two governments to attack the large bandits entrenched in the mountains on the South and North Roads of Jinghu, and beheaded by tens of thousands of people?

On that day, the emperor's embarrassment was beyond words. If he was not upright in his position, he would not have the ability to inherit the great throne. He would be a person with no ability. If the court colluded with each other, for example, the Marquis of Nan'an had enough strength to support the Left Prime Minister Han Zhong, and it would be difficult to depose the emperor. He would be the Emperor and the Marquis of Nan'an inherited the throne. What would he do if the Marquis of Nan'an inherited the throne?

There are some methods and methods, and as long as you are careful, you can always think of solutions.

King Qi cultivated Xu Zixian with good intentions, but it also led to his own death. However, in his opinion, he would not regret his death.

With Xu Zixian, Fujian Road can maintain peace for forty years, which is the result that King Qi wants the most.

Xu Zixian left Surong. When he left the palace, Jin Jian, Gao Shi came, Jin Baoyi, Chen Zuocai, Chen Daojian and others rushed over. Xu Zixian said to everyone: "Your Highness has nothing to do for the time being."

"Thank God." Jin Baoyi, a thick man, actually held his palm and recited the Buddha's name: "I secretly swear that if your highness is fine, I, a man with a sword and a long sword, would be willing to eat vegetarian food for a month... I want to go to the temple to fulfill my wish!"

Looking at everyone, Jin Baoyi said embarrassedly: "When making a wish, he dares to say one month. If he makes a wish for a hundred days or a year, he may not be able to wield the horizontal knife in his hand."

"rational."

"Old Jin is intent."

Everyone nodded, no one laughed at Kim Baoyi for his behavior. In fact, if possible, everyone would be willing to do so.

What is reputation? This is reputation.

"Mr.." Chen Zuocai looked at Xu Zixian. He could see that Xu Zixian seemed to have many worries. He asked in a deep voice: "What are your highness's explanations?"

"The Fujian Road Observer or the Fuzhou Prefecture Observer are probably not able to do it." Xu Zixian said to everyone: "The Tongzhi of Qizhou, the Defense Commander, and the commander of Shangzhai will definitely not be able to save it."

"Why?" Jin Bao said angrily: "We have made great contributions and have we become a sin?"

"Of course I need to pay me a reward on the surface and get promoted to me." Xu Zixian sneered and said, "Qizhou is too close to Fuzhou. If I want to run Qizhou, I will definitely be unable to sleep or eat."

In fact, the most important reason for the launch of King Zhao was Xu Zixian's success in Qizhou, which poses too great a threat to King Zhao's mansion.

Now no one dares to ignore the generals and his training talents that Xu Zixian showed.

The three villages in Qizhou have 4,000 soldiers, and can also add 5,000 to 6,000. With thousands of soldiers and horses, the two groups of soldiers and horses combined to more than 10,000. With Xu Zixian's general, the more than 10,000 people gave people the feeling that they could fight against the imperial guards of the five armies. This gave King Zhao a feeling of uneasiness.

Although everyone now says that the Great Wei is still peaceful and the country is huge, it has been facing the threat from the Northern Lu and Donghu for more than a year or two, and it has not been possible.

But those who are interested all understand that the threat in the north is too great, and the Wei Dynasty can no longer hold on. The taxes collected from the inside are too fierce to support the central finance, resulting in a large number of thieves. It is hard to say whether a large-scale uprising will break out.

Once there are police officers, strong Hu in the north, pirates in the south, bandits in the mainland, and scenes of the end of the world will appear everywhere.

In this case, although it is not enough to be strong to be the emperor, only by mastering a considerable territory and having financial resources and troops can we ensure safety and further possibilities.

Xu Zixian colluded with the King of Qi inside and outside in Qizhou, and Lin Douyao also supported him. Once the scene of the end of the world appeared, these groups of forces would hold Nan'an Marquis to respect themselves, and the road of Fujian could be independent in an instant, and the court had no choice.

Compared with King Qi, King Zhao must have wanted to kill Xu Zixian more, but unfortunately he couldn't do it. King Qi's usual defense was very tight, but he never expected that an old subordinate like Liu Guangsi was bribed by King Zhao. He was careless and was acquired by King Zhao.

"Your Highness intends to recommend me as the Dongfan Observatory and Penghu Navy Observatory." Xu Zixian said lightly: "I am guarding against us, but I am interested in managing the Dongfan well. This is also a good idea."

Chen Zuocai nodded and said, "It can be considered as retreating to advance. If you manage the Dongfan well, you will be able to return the glory to Fuzhou in the future."

That's it, but Chen Zuocai's words are full of pressure and sadness.

Previously, everyone regarded managing the Dongfan as a move, but Xu Zi insisted on doing this first, so everyone followed.

Now Chen Zuocai understood that if Qizhou cannot be kept in Qizhou, Nan'an will definitely be restricted, which means that all hopes and opportunities of Nan'an Marquis' Mansion are in the East Vanguard.

At most one Penghu.

In other words, opportunities are on isolated islands and overseas. Even Fujianese who often go to sea for life will feel sad and tragic when facing this situation.

"Yes." Xu Zixian actually didn't want to say that, but he nodded according to Chen Zuocai's words.

What Xu Zixian has been thinking in his heart is whether he really should put state affairs first as he promised, even if he loses his personal interests?

If the ruler was a prince like the King of Qi, Xu Zixian would have answered without hesitation.

What if you can hold your ambitions for the sake of millions of people and the stability of the country?

In life, some people are just eager to reach the top, but Xu Zixian is not that kind of person.

To a certain extent, then live a happy life, or even stay at home, study wine and food, and study how to make yourself live more comfortable. This is the life Xu Zixian really wants.

But I have been working hard to climb upwards and finally reach the top. Although I stand in the sky, I am the only one in the world. I am living and killing the people in the world. This feeling of pleasure is indeed a great temptation, but the hardships in it are also very hard for people to bear.

Xu Zixian originally planned to follow the arrangements of King Qi and sort out a battle-capable main force of the wing army for Fujian. If he had the chance, he could even go to Zhejiang and Jiangnan. As long as the Great Wei was safe and sound, resisted the invasion of the Donghu people and avoided his own unbearable end in his previous life. This was enough.

But today's events completely shattered his fantasy.

Political disputes are about life and death. Benevolence can only be controlled by the strong. When the weak talk about benevolence to others, they just stretch their necks on the chopping board and let others cut them.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Wang." Xu Zixian said in his heart: "Although I promised you, I can't fulfill my promise... Please forgive me and break my promise."

In the night, a sentry guarded Xu Zixian and slowly returned to the Nan'an Marquis Mansion. The soldiers of the robbery camp patrolling the city were quite tactful and avoided them from afar.

Since the King of Qi was poisoned, there has been such a strange silence in Fuzhou City, which seems to be the low pressure before the storm, which makes people breathless.

The royal family and nobles were waiting for news, and their mentality was mostly uneasy. Everyone has been accustomed to the protection of the King of Qi for so many years. Once they lose this big tree, they will be full of confusion about the future.

There are also many royal families and nobles who have long been dependent on King Zhao, and they are full of anxiety and secret joy.

The secret is that they feel that they have vision. This long war between the two princes for power finally brought the curtain to the end of the game, and it seems that King Zhao won.

The uneasiness is that it has not been confirmed yet, and they are quite worried that the King of Qi has a large number of old subordinates, all over the imperial guards and the wing army. If these generals and soldiers are angry and rise up, blood will flow into a river in Fuzhou. Under the sword, who knows whether the sword will implicate them?

In addition to the royal family and nobles, a large number of officials, generals, gentry, merchants, and ordinary people in Guizhou had nothing else to do except worry and pray.

In addition to worrying about King Qi, more people are also worried that there will be conflicts in the city and fierce wars will break out. Fuzhou City was expanded and built during the Taizu period and rebuilt bricks during the Xuanzong period. Except for the Japanese pirates who threatened the city outside the Fuzhou city during the Japanese pirates' rebellion, Fuzhou has been calm and has never had any real crisis in the past three hundred years.

In recent years, pirates followed the Japanese pirates and harassed the Zhang, Quan and Xinghua Army everywhere. Only Fuzhou has imperial guards, which are difficult to attack. Moreover, Fuzhou's city is high and steep, and the garrison is quite strict. Not to mention Chen Yutai, even a few giant thieves such as Pu Xingfeng were afraid that they would not have thought of conquering Fuzhou from the front.

The slight sound of horse hooves stomped through, and many people peeked out from the gate of their yard. When they saw that it was Xu Zixian, the Marquis of Nan'an, surrounded by the young lord, many people were a little relieved. If the people in Fuzhou City asked them to choose, the first person they trusted was the King of Qi, followed by the young lord.

"Oh, the troubled times are coming." An old man couldn't help but burst into tears as he watched Xu Zixian ride his horse by. The last time he saw a royal family riding by in the middle of the night was during the Japanese turmoil forty years ago.
