Chapter 778 The Little Beast that Betrayed Its Master
The banquet was still going on. Nan Xi left the table halfway and the ministers saw him off respectfully.
Zhan Ruo stood up, brushed his wide robe sleeves, and under the unhappy gazes of the two princes, he calmly left with Nan Xi and turned to the Dazheng Palace.
Hao'er had finished class and was sitting at the desk writing.
"Squeak!" The snow mink was originally sitting on the shoulder of the little master. When he saw Zhan Ruo coming in, he immediately shouted enthusiastically at his former master, as if he was saying hello, "Squeak!"
Zhan Ruo stretched out his hand to it: "Come here."
The little mink turned his head away proudly, squeaked at Hao'er twice, and pulled his clothes with his claws. When Hao'er reached out and held it in his arms, the little guy's voice became obviously cheerful, "Squeak!"
Zhan Ruo narrowed his eyes and looked at this thing that was fickle with a bad look, "Do you want me to peel your skin?" Betray the master so soon? It should be thrown into the pot and stewed alive.
"Squeak!"
"Don't worry." The little prince touched its clean white fur, as if to comfort it, his voice was tender but cold and calm, "I'm here, he doesn't dare."
The little mink squeaked non-stop and kept pulling into Hao'er's arms.
"Your Highness is mighty." Zhan Ruo smiled, "You are worthy of being the son of Her Majesty the Queen."
Hao'er looked at him calmly: "You are flattering."
Seeing this, Zhan Ruo couldn't help but curl his lips, secretly thinking that he was still cute when he was a child. When he was ignorant and couldn't speak, he liked him more and more. Now that he has grown up and can speak, this cold and indifferent look is exactly the same as his father, not cute at all.
Why is the child so mature?
Even if he wants to inherit the throne, he can be a gentle and tolerant emperor like Her Majesty the Queen. Why be like his annoying father?
"Zhan Ruo." Nan Xi sat on the couch and raised her hand to invite him to sit down. "I see that your two brothers are not suitable to be the next king of Yu."
Zhan Ruo felt a sense of crisis when he heard this: "Sister wants me to be the king?"
Nan Xi shook her head: "Rong Yu means that if we want to go to war with Nanyue, we must pass through Yu Kingdom. Instead of being entangled with Yu Kingdom because of the territory in the end, it is better to incorporate Yu Kingdom into the territory of Dongling now."
Zhan Ruo didn't say anything, frowned and thought carefully for a long time: "No eggs will be broken when the nest is overturned. If the countries in the world really want to go to war, the three small countries of Yu Kingdom, Qing Kingdom and Yan Kingdom will definitely not be able to stay out of it, and they will certainly not be opponents of the major powers, so they can only rely on or be annexed."
He obviously didn't care about the ending of Yu Kingdom. Anyway, the one who annexed it in the end must be sister. Yu Kingdom was incorporated into the territory of Dongling, and the lives of the people of Yu Kingdom would not be affected much.
Nan Xi nodded: "Indeed."
"Yu State is sandwiched between Nanyue and Dongling. Whether it is annexed or attached, it must choose a country." Zhan Ruo sighed, "Nanyue is not as strong as Dongling, but the emperor of Nanyue is still a stupid guy who doesn't know his own weight. Yu State has no other choice."
Nan Xi was silent for a moment: "After being incorporated into the territory of Dongling, Yu State will completely become a minister of Dongling. The territory where Yu State is now located will become part of the territory of Dongling. It can no longer exercise royal power independently, but must obey the decrees of the Dongling court."
Zhan Ruo said: "This is inevitable, otherwise why do those ambitious kings want to conquer the world at all costs? Isn't it just to be the common master of the world?"
Let all countries in the world have only one voice from now on, only one royal family, supreme and noble, no one dares to rebel - this is the greatest ambition and wish of an ambitious king.
Ambition and ambition can be had by anyone, but this must be based on equal strength, otherwise it will only become cannon fodder.
"Squeak!" The snow ferret suddenly cried out.
Zhan Ruo turned his head and saw Hao'er standing up and walking into the inner hall.
A little person who had just woken up was lying on the dragon bed, opening his eyes and looking sleepy.
"The two brothers seem to have a good relationship." Zhan Ruo raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of the inner hall. "After they grow up, there shouldn't be any quarrels between the brothers."
Nan Xi said: "It shouldn't happen."
