Qin Zhongzhi nodded after hearing the words Tuoba Tao gave, and seemed quite satisfied, "This excuse is good. His Majesty the Emperor of Wei has cleared the suspicion, and his foreign ministers have also made his loyal reputation. But His Majesty feels that the foreign ministers have died.

After that, how long can this matter be hidden?"

Tuoba Tao did not answer because he couldn't say it. Cui Hao was still trying to raise food and grass, and now he could only hide it for one day. When he was forced to do so, he could only massacre the city and grab the food.

"If it is just to cover up a situation that will be seen through at any time, the foreign minister feels that he is not worth dying." Qin Zhongzhi said slowly, "The foreign minister is more willing to risk his life to offer advice. If Your Majesty adopts it, everyone will be happy. If Your Majesty refuses,

Even though the foreign ministers died, there was no regret.”

Tuoba Tao heard these words that whet his appetite, but did not react much, and asked in a deep voice: "I am willing to listen carefully. I am a person who cherishes talents. If possible, I don't want to be missing like Qin in this world.

Talented people.”

Qin Zhongzhi was not in a hurry at this time. He poured the boiled water into the teapot little by little, added the tea powder, and waited until a wisp of tea fragrance drifted out. Qin Zhongzhi smelled the tea fragrance and said satisfied: "The tea in the summer palace is really

Not bad. Your Majesty also tastes it."

Tuoba Tao did not move.

Qin Zhongzhi said slowly: "What Your Majesty is worried about now is nothing more than fear that Helianding will find that the entire Wei army has no food and grass, so he chooses to fight back with a burning boat. You cannot massacre the city because an empty city has no benefit to the Great Wei."

"Without food and grass, how long can Xi Jin last in Chang'an? If Helianding defeats Xi Jin and pursues Tongwancheng, does His Majesty plan to give up Tongwancheng again? Or will the soldiers go to die with hunger?"

Qin Zhongzhi poured two cups of tea, looked at the tea mo floating on the water and said calmly: "The 100,000 Wei troops were like rootless duckweed in the Xia Dynasty. Even though Tongwan City had been captured, the Xia people's hearts were not yet

Conquer. What you need is not only food and grass, but also the reason for the Xia Dynasty to willingly submit."

Qin Zhongzhi could be said to have revealed the current dilemma of the Wei army in just a few words.

Tuoba Tao frowned and asked, "After I captured Tongwancheng, I have ordered not to massacre the city or disturb the people. How can I make the Xia people return home?"

Qin Zhongzhi took a sip of tea, and then replied leisurely: "Marry Helianke, the most precious princess in the Great Xia Kingdom."

Tuoba Tao was surprised to be neither angry nor scolded Qin Zhongzhi for talking nonsense. He just looked at the tea that Qin Zhongzhi pushed over.

Qin Zhongzhi's method is a one-time and for all. Although Helianke was a princess, he was loved by the Xia people because of his beauty. Marrying her shows that Tuoba Tao is willing to accept and treat surrendered ministers well.

With Helian Ke's fief in Fufeng, the Wei army heading south not only solved the food and grass problems, but also directly added a base camp, making it easy to move south.

If the Wei army was stationed in Fufeng, which was just a short distance away, would Helian Ding dare to stay in Chang'an? If he dared to stay, Tuoba Tao could directly attack from both sides and swallow the only remaining troops in Xia State.

Tuoba Tao couldn't help but show a look of disappointment, "I think Prime Minister Qin will have any tricks. If it were just this method, it would be fine for Qin to mention it. I have already drafted the edict and will soon be granted a title.

Lian Ke is his wife."

Qin Zhongzhi raised his eyebrows. He wanted to ask Feng Helianke as his wife. Do Tan Yaoyu knows it. But obviously even if Tan Yaoyu knows it or opposes it, Tuoba Tao will do this.

In Tuoba Tao's opinion, there are so many positions in the harem. As long as he leaves the position of queen to Tan Yaoyu, other things are not bad for exchange of interests.

Qin Zhongzhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although the girl had always been a little confused about men and women, she was quite accurate in her view of people. At least from the beginning, she knew that Tuoba Tao was not a person who could be entrusted to her for life.

Qin Zhongzhi did not show any anger or dissatisfaction because of Tuoba Tao's words. He gently placed the teacup in his hand on the desk and said calmly, "Your Majesty may have underestimated Helianding. He is more ambitious than Helianchang.

, and is more capable. Now that Helianchang has surrendered, it is the time when he is free from the constraints and shows his strength. Qin feels that His Majesty should deal with the troops to help Xi Jin as soon as possible, otherwise he will be too late to regret it."

Tuoba Tao obviously no longer wants to listen. He did not leave like last time, but drank the tea made by Qin Zhongzhi and breathed a sigh of relief: "The Prime Minister Qin is a little alarmist. Helian Ding

Even if I use troops like a god, there are only 30,000 troops. It will only take time for me to seize Chang'an City by getting the food and grass from Fufeng."

Seeing that Tuoba Tao was about to leave, Qin Zhongzhi stood up and said, "Foreign ministers feel that when the news of Fufeng comes back, you will definitely be useful to the Foreign ministers. Foreign ministers are now locked up here, even if they want to reveal their military information, they will not be able to.

Solution. Why should you rush to have the head of a foreign minister today?"

Tuoba Tao glanced at Qin Zhongzhi again, and just now he said he wanted Qin Zhongzhi's head to scare him a little, wanting to see how much Qin Zhongzhi could spit out to save his life.

Unexpectedly, Qin Zhongzhi was calm from beginning to end, which made Tuoba Tao feel unsure.

As soon as he came out of Qin Zhongzhi, Tuoba Tao found Mulan, "Go and pass on my orders and ask the guards to arrange half of their men to guard the underground palace. You go to the city gate and tell the defenders that once there is news about Fufeng, you will immediately

Come and report.”

Mulan took the order and inadvertently glanced at the door where Qin Zhongzhi was imprisoned, then retreated silently.

——Division line—

After Tuoba Tao left Yiyu's bedroom, the flip board behind the cage was pushed away, and Ying Feng walked out from behind with a calm face.

He looked at Yao Yu who had barely supported himself, and his face seemed to be hurt and confused, "Why?"

Tan Yaoyu didn't know how long it had been after Ying Feng stood on the board, but obviously he heard that he had told Tuoba Tao about the secret passage.

Tuoba Tao just asked her why she didn't accept the position of queen, and now Ying Feng asked her why she leaked the news about the secret passage.

Yao Yu felt a little tired and asked sarcastically: "Why? Do you really don't know the reason? Or do you think if you don't tell me, then the reason will not exist?"

Ying Feng walked rapidly to Yao Yu's side, and regardless of the boredom that Yao Yu showed, he helped her to lie down first.

"I know you're angry with me. I originally wanted to wait until I escaped from Tongwancheng before finding an opportunity to explain to you. But when I think of you being angry, I can't wait and then I'll go back. Who ever thought of you?

He told Tuoba Tao about the underground palace so quickly. Do you really don’t want to listen to my explanation, so you plan to lock me out of the summer palace?"

Tan Yaoyu turned his face and refused to speak. She herself didn't know what the anger in her heart was. She could still calm down when facing Tuoba Tao's nonsense. Why did she think when facing Ying Feng?
