In the outskirts of Chang'an, Feilong Mountain, Homesickness Platform.

According to legend, this mountain was built more than a thousand years ago. Emperor Li Qing used countless civilians to accumulate manpower. It was about a hundred feet high and a base diameter of about a few miles. It took more than ten years to complete such a huge project today, which is completely an incredible feat. Not to mention manpower, financial resources alone are an astronomical number. Of course, this also shows the prosperity and strength of the Tang Empire at that time from another perspective.

The feat of dominating the world, overwhelming the nine states, and coming to the court for all countries, is still exciting to think about now. More than a thousand years have passed, and the prosperity of that time has long disappeared. With the decline of national strength, the later Emperor of the Tang Dynasty began to enfeoff the sea, causing the sea route to be cut off, and the powerful navy also declined.

Now the Tang Dynasty has long been buried in the dust of history, but Feilong Mountain is still proudly standing outside Chang'an. However, this place is a forbidden place for the people. Not to mention ordinary people, even noble nobles and gentry, without the permission of the royal family, are not allowed to step into this mountain at all.

On the top of the mountain, a high platform protrudes from a distance to the entire mountain, and almost half of the buildings hang in the air. This platform was also built by the emperor a thousand years ago, called the Sixiangtai. Standing on this platform, the scenic scenery of Chang'an is unobstructed at a glance.

Shu Hui walked to the homesick platform step by step, with his noble status as he was. It was also his first time to set foot on the homesick platform. He had come up with his master Cao Chong before, but he stopped with others at a distance from the homesick platform. This was his first time to get involved here.

On the homesick platform, there was a lonely back, which was Emperor Cao Tiancheng.

"I've seen Your Majesty!" Shu Hui bowed to the ground.

"Xiao Huizi, come here and stand by my side." Cao Tiancheng waved and said.

"Yes!" Shu Hui walked over, but he didn't dare to compete with Cao Tiancheng, and was slightly behind half a position.

"Is it the first time I'm here? What do you feel?" Cao Tiancheng asked with a smile.

"I will climb the top of the mountain and overlook the mountains!" Shu Hui said.

Hearing Shu Hui's answer, Cao Tiancheng laughed: "Yes, this is the feeling. Standing here and looking down at Chang'an, the feeling of the whole world in my hands suddenly arises, domineering the world, and it should be like this. But I don't understand why Emperor Li Qing named this place more than a thousand years ago?"

"Master Li Qing may have been inspired because of his feelings?" Shu Hui said carefully. The origin of Emperor Li Qing has always been a mystery. Over the years, countless people have wanted to study the life of this legendary emperor, but they have no idea about the trajectory before his sudden appearance.

"Maybe, Emperor Li Qing achieved success or homesickness arose. However, with the power of the Tang Dynasty, no matter where the hometown of Emperor Li Qing was, he would naturally return to his hometown with a command. However, according to historical records, after the Tang Dynasty established its capital in Chang'an, for decades, until the Emperor suddenly left, he never left Chang'an. However, after he was older, he would come to this homesickness platform every three or five days. Sometimes, he stayed for ten months. Do you know what this is?

Shu Hui shook his head.

Cao Tiancheng smiled and said, "It seems that there are still many things that the emperor has not told you. Well, since the emperor has not said it, let the emperor tell you in person after he comes out of seclusion."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shu Hui knew that this matter must be a huge secret. If the emperor didn't say it, it would never be asked. It would be best that the emperor would never tell him. For him, it was not a good thing that the royal secret Xin knew too much. He was not Cao Chong after all.

Cao Tiancheng looked Shu Hui up and down, and suddenly asked, "Do you know why I called you to the homesick platform today?"

"This is Your Majesty's incomparable trust in me and also my honor." Shu Hui was puzzled, so he could only answer carefully according to the rules.

"Hmph, I called you here just to let you understand that men are in the world, how can they be cared for by ordinary things? Real men should lie drunk on the knees of beautiful people, wake up and kill the right to kill people, turn hands to clouds, turn hands to rain, chirp me, and be sad about autumn. What is the business of my men in Daqi? I heard that over the past few months, you have always been very short, have no intention of doing business, and get drunk at any time, but some?" Cao Tiancheng asked with a sneer.

Shu Hui was sweating all over his head. After a while, he whispered: "I know I am guilty."

"I'm just a woman who makes you so sad. What kind of woman is this that makes you so worried? There are countless beauties in Chang'an. Could it be that no one can compare to the peasant girl in a remote countryside?" In Cao Tiancheng's heart, places like Yue Kingdom are naturally remote countryside, and the women in those places are of course also peasant girls.

"Your Majesty, she is still unique." Shu Hui paused and actually plucked up the courage to defend himself.

Cao Tiancheng tilted his head and looked at Shu Hui for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "It seems that this woman is really unusual. It seems that this is the first time you have contradicted me, not because of business, but because of a woman."

"Your Majesty forgive me!"

"Forget it, I have the chance, I want to see what is unusual about this woman." Cao Tiancheng waved his hand, "Luo Yishui has made a big noise. Nearly 100,000 troops have rushed to the capital. Wu Jian's old man is going to be big this time and must be in charge of the army. Li Zhi is guarding Kaiping County, hoping to get a bargain. Qin Feng is unwilling to fall behind and is trying to make a big fuss. Our biggest enemy, Chu State, is not idle either. Qin Feng's Baoqing camp is all composed of Chu people. Cheng Wuben, our old opponent, has become Qin Feng's aides. Haha, what a big show, our Grand Qi is indispensable."

Hearing Cao Tiancheng's words, Shu Hui was a little embarrassed and bowed and said, "It was all my poor work that I left Luo Yishui as a disaster."

"Luo Yishui is also a master at the peak of level nine. It is still difficult for such a person to kill or capture alive. It's not a big mistake for you. Chen Ci was actually a nail laid by Luo family, which surprised me. I used to underestimate Luo Kuan and was also a restless guy!" Cao Tiancheng said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, there is a Taiping Army between us and the Kingdom of Yue. How can we participate in this matter? If we insert it strongly, it will cause the Taiping Army to rebound, and it will be more than worth the loss at that time." Shu Hui frowned.

Cao Tiancheng smiled slightly: "Who do you think the Yue Kingdom Rebellion will be the final winner in the end?"

"From now on, it is possible for Qin State and Taiping Army to be able to do so. The Taiping Army's momentum has become increasingly obvious. At this time, we really don't want to turn against them." Shu Hui said.

"You said that, it's not impossible. But do you think Wu Jian can't see this? He has been an emperor for decades. Since he was young, he has been familiar with this intrigue and deceitful strategy. From his killing of the Luo clan, he can see how cunning and hidden benefits this person is. Can you not see it? Will he sit and wait for death?" Cao Tiancheng shook his head: "No, he must have his ideas."

"Do you think the Taiping Army will suffer a big loss in the end?"

"Why not?" Cao Tiancheng nodded: "If Wu Jian finally succeeded in turning the tables, causing the Taiping Army to lose its troops and lose its generals, all the calculations will be empty, what should we do?"

Shu Hui was excited, "If this is the case, of course he should beat the dogs in the water. He destroyed the Taiping Army in one fell swoop and included Shayang and other places in our control of the Qin Dynasty. In this way, not only will the unstable factor of the Taiping Army be eliminated, but the Chu people's plan to open up a second battlefield completely failed, which will be of great help to the front battlefield between our Daqi and Chu."

"That's right. I'm afraid that your children will love each other and don't want to destroy the Taiping Army. I heard that the woman has a good position in the Taiping Army?" Cao Tiancheng said with a smile.

Shu Hui looked gloomy, "The ministers are still very clear in their official affairs. Do not ruin public affairs because of personal friendship. This is the bottom line."

"Yes, Qin Feng is difficult to control. When wandering between Qi and Chu, he only wants his own interests. But he doesn't think about it. Whether it is Chu or Qi, for him, they are all giants. If you want to get the greatest benefits, you have to make preparations at all times. Next, Deng County needs to secretly increase troops. You go to Deng County to command and pay close attention to this battle. Once the Taiping Army is in trouble on the front line, Deng County's army needs to sweep across Shayang, Changyang and other places with lightning speed, completely separate Qin Feng's main force on the front line from the rear."

"Your Majesty, I have been to Taiping City. The terrain is extremely dangerous. Although there are not many troops stationed, if you fight hard, you will probably suffer a lot of losses." Shu Hui frowned.

"When war, there are those who are immortal. If they really reach that point, no matter how many people die, they will pull out this nail." Cao Tiancheng said lightly.

"Of course, if Wu Jian fails and the Taiping Army becomes the biggest winner of this chaos, we will have to make additional adjustments to the Taiping Army's policies." Cao Tiancheng frowned slightly: "This possibility does not exist, although I am more optimistic that Wu Jian will win the final victory this time."

"Your Majesty, what should we do if this happens?"

"If this happens really, I will let Qin Feng face to face with Chu State. At that time, I want to see what he will do?" Cao Tiancheng suddenly laughed.

"Remember them to face each other?" Monk Shu Hui was confused.

"Yes." Cao Tiancheng laughed loudly, "Look, if Qin Feng really won the victory and controlled the Yue Kingdom, what will he do next? Naturally, he wants to recover the lost land and give the Yue people an explanation. Will we give him the Yue Kingdom land we have obtained? Naturally, no. But we must avoid becoming enemies with him and thus allowing the Chu people's second battlefield to be successfully opened up, so I will give him Yunzhong County as the price of these lands in Yue Kingdom."

"Check Yunzhong County?" Shu Hui was shocked.

"Yes, he got Yunzhong County, isn't he just going to face the Chu people?" (To be continued.)
