The woman in gorgeous clothes filled the table with dishes like a stream, without any meat and fish, and the colorful variety was all kinds of fruits and vegetables. The last plate of main course served was just a fried fish as long as possible.

"I am old and can't eat big fish and meat. I can only use these vegetables and fruits every day. Maybe His Highness the Prince is used to it?" Zhou Yifu asked with a smile.

Cao Yun was very moved that this table of dishes looks extremely simple, but in terms of value, it is probably more expensive than the delicacies on the table. It is the cold winter season. These seasonal vegetables that are only available in spring, summer and autumn can appear on the dining table now. I don’t know how much it cost to achieve them.

There is also a place like this in the palace to grow these vegetables, but the production can only ensure that the emperor and a few others can be eaten every day, and it is just a taste of fresh food every now and then. Even so, the money is quite considerable. And the head of the Zhou family in front of him has these meals every time, so why doesn’t Cao Yun sigh?

The red wine as red as blood was poured into the crystal clear glass cup. Zhou Yifu smiled and said, "The things made by the Ming people are really good. I don't drink strong wine now, but I fall in love with this fruit wine. Prince, this is a wine prepared by Shu Chang, a genius doctor of the Ming Dynasty. It is different from what is sold on the market. Each bottle is worth a thousand gold. It prolongs life and has endless wonderful uses. Your Highness, the prince, I am getting older, but I am becoming more and more afraid of death. Don't laugh at me."

"Who can't be afraid of life and death?" Cao Yun sighed.

After taking a sip of wine, Zhou Yifu said, "It turns out that His Highness the Prince is also afraid of death. I also say that people like you are used to life and death, but are indifferent to life and death? They don't care about life and death at all?"

"It is precisely because I have seen you so much and used to seeing you that I am even more scared." Cao Yun said lightly: "Mr. Zhou, since you are afraid of death, why don't you do so well in Xiyang Tiannian, but instead do so many things?"

"It's because I'm afraid of death!" Zhou Yifu smiled: "The emperor doesn't want to give us a way out. Even the ants are cherishing their lives. The dog is anxious and wants to jump over the wall, let alone people? They always have to make a profit and grab it."

"Can you betray the general trend?" Cao Yun disagreed.

Zhou Yifu knocked on the plate on the table with chopsticks and said, "Look, these things should not have appeared on the dining table now, but they just appeared. Man conquered nature, what is impossible in this world? It is said that planning things depends on people and accomplishing things depends on people, but I just think that planning things depends on people and accomplishing things depends on people."

"Mr. Zhou was once the chief assistant of Daqi. Did he want to see the people in Daqi and live in trouble?" Cao Yun stared at the other party, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of the war?"

"It is because of this that I have been hesitating and giving in to the emperor." Zhou Yifu's smile gradually disappeared, and he looked at Cao Yun and said, "I am not a fool. A few years ago, when the emperor did those things, I already understood that the emperor had made up his mind not to give us a way out. But I still fantasize about reconciliation with the emperor, so the emperor pressed step by step and we gave in. Will His Highness the Prince not see these, right?"

"Since you have already given up, why not retreat to the end?" Cao Yun said.

"Everyone has his own bottom line!" Zhou Yifu sneered: "The emperor is too greedy and his methods are too fierce. If this continues, we will destroy the family for a long time, which is too much."

"Your Majesty's situation has been completed, you can't resist it." Cao Yun shook his head.

"The general trend?" Zhou Yifu laughed: "In my opinion, the general trend is on my side."

"How can I see it?"

Zhou Yifu smiled and pointed to the thick files on the table: "Your Highness, your things are written with great insight, and I also agree with them very much. I even disguised myself as a result of the Ming Dynasty, and transferred to the country for half a year, and witnessed everything there with my own eyes. If Your Majesty can adopt Your Majesty's policies, I will naturally stop and be Your Majesty's most loyal subject. But Your Majesty can't wait. He wants to cut the mess quickly, but I wonder if Your Majesty has ever thought about whether his knife is sharp enough?"

"My methods take too long, but the Ming people will not give us this time. Since the old man has been to Ming Kingdom, he should know how fast the Ming people develop." Cao Yun sighed: "And do you really agree with the methods stated by Cao in the memorial?"

Zhou Yifu laughed, "Of course he agrees."

"If Your Majesty agrees to reform according to these policies of Cao, the old man will let go of everything?" Cao Yun asked.

Zhou Yifu put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Cao Yun, and said seriously: "To be honest, we no longer trust Cao Tiancheng, so we need another person to lead us to do these things. Prince, if it is you, I, Zhou Yifu, can rest assured, but Cao Tiancheng will definitely not. Naturally, I don't want a large-scale civil war in Qi, so I found a way to invite you over."

"Do you want me to rebel?" Cao Yun's face changed.

"Only when you change to that seat can we be convinced." Zhou Yifu said affirmatively. "Da Qi can reform, and our aristocratic family is willing to do and change, but it is not under Cao Tiancheng's rule."

Cao Yun stared at the other party and said for a while: "Sir, are you sure I will do it?"

Zhou Yifu smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness is here now, so, is it important whether you want it?"

"It turns out that all you need is a chess piece and a flag." Cao Yun sneered.

"If His Highness the Prince can cooperate with us sincerely, it will immediately become our core." Zhou Yifu said seriously: "The prince's people in Daqi are unmatched, and they are even more responsive in the army. With the prince's sincerity joining, it will be a change of heaven and earth in a short time."

Cao Yun looked down at the red wine in front of him, and remained silent.

"To be honest with His Highness the Prince, Luoyang is almost ready. The army of 100,000 will be waiting for the battle. Once the incident is uprising, all the locals will respond and go to Chang'an from all directions." Zhou Yifu said.

"How can a group of mobs be the opponent of the Dragon Inlade Army?"

"Your Highness, if you come to command it, it would be very different." Zhou Yifu laughed and said, "Even if the mob is in the hands of the prince, it can turn decay into magic. And in the name of Your Highness, once the incident is infringed, the soldiers and horses in the world will inevitably respond. Even if the emperor can still control the Longxiang Army, can a mere 100,000 Longxiang Army block a million troops?"

"You know that the World War Association responds?"

Zhou Yifu laughed: "Of course, we have considered everything in all aspects. Some people have already gone to all directions to contact His Highness the Prince. Many people have defected to us, many people are still waiting and watching, and some are silent, not accepting or rejecting. His Highness should know what this means. As long as His Highness the Prince ascends the throne in Luoyang and then goes north to attack Chang'an, the responding will inevitably follow. Isn't His Highness the Prince worried that my Daqi will suffer? Without His Highness the Prince's civil war, there will be a real loss of life. With His Highness the Prince, the war will end in a very short time. I believe that under the leadership of His Highness the Prince, the Daqi will truly be revitalized and truly become stronger."

"You're too simple to think about things?" Cao Yun shook his head.

"This is the general trend!" Zhou Yifu said affirmatively: "Your Highness the Prince probably doesn't know how much force we have gathered? When the battle comes, we will march from Luoyang to Chang'an, and Zhou Jiyun will raise troops from Kunling County to respond, and attack from two groups. How long do you think Cao Tiancheng can last? Even if there are strong soldiers, no food or salary in Chang'an, how can it last?"

Cao Yun smiled and said, "The old man is very confident. He doesn't say anything else. Zhou Jiyun alone, I'm afraid you can't count on it. Not to mention that Luzhou has gathered heavily now, the old man may not know where the army withdrawn from Hengduan Mountain will go?"

"It's okay, no matter." Zhou Yifu laughed: "I still know Ji Yun's ability. Even if he can't echo me, it's a great achievement to be able to hold up hundreds of thousands of troops of the court. Your Highness, I invite you to come because I don't want this war to delay too long and hope to fight quickly. As you said, if the war lasts too long, the people of the Great Qi will be injured. Your Highness, the prince responds, is very happy, and your highness, and this matter is also imperative."

Cao Yun silently picked up the wine glass, drank slowly, but did not speak.

Zhou Yifu stood up with a smile, "This is a big deal. Your Highness needs time to consider. I can understand this, but I hope this time will not be too long. Time is too late, and we really can't wait. Oh, by the way, Your Highness's family, now we have properly settled down, and the princess is almost here, right?"

Cao Yun's face changed slightly: "You detain my family as a taxpay?"

Zhou Yifu shook his head repeatedly: "Your Highness the Prince is so serious. You are the one who wants to be the emperor. Your son will be the future crown prince of my Daqi, and your daughter is the princess of my Daqi. How can we be rude? Of course, we are very careful in protecting you. Your Highness the Prince is safe. I will say goodbye and come to visit again in two days."

He left with confidence. Cao Yun stood in front of the window, staring at the carriage that was gradually moving away, but there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth. As expected, that's true! Everything was so tight that Tian Fen gave it.

Of course, he couldn't agree to Zhou Yifu so quickly. Facing the old fox, he was even more cunning than him. After getting himself, Zhou Yifu didn't take him to Luoyang, but put him here first. Didn't he just want to test it? He agreed too quickly, and the other party would be suspicious.

Another carriage came in the jujube forest, and it was straight down below the wooden building. The carriage door opened and the haggard princess was helped down.
