Huang Yuanwu was not surprised. The reason why Huang Zhengchu asked him to come here was to say these things. And he came here was to determine some things, something that might determine the future development of the Eastern Prince's Mansion.

Huang Yuanwu didn't say anything. He waited for Huang Zhengchu to continue speaking, waiting for him to express his request.

Huang Zhengchu looked at Huang Yuanwu, and after a while, he asked, "Did you have no reaction?"

"What reaction do you want?" Huang Yuanwu replied lightly, "Do you fight with you now with your sword?" As he said that, Huang Yuanwu pointed to the dragon throne that Huang Zhengchu was doing now, and said, "You have already expressed your attitude. If you want to do the emperor's business, I'm afraid that all the children in the empire know about it, and I'm going to surprise me?"

"You are not an ordinary child." Huang Zhengchu narrowed his eyes and looked at the Emperor Yuanwu, and said, "You are the master of the Eastern Palace of the Qitian Empire. You hold hundreds of thousands of troops, rule twenty cities, millions of people, and have sufficient food and supplies. Your attitude can determine whether I can be the emperor."

Speaking of this, it was already a little nervous. The entire hall was silent. All the generals of the Northern King's Mansion were looking straight at Huang Yuanwu, waiting for his reply or his attitude.

Indeed, the location of the Eastern Palace is now subtle.

Two of the four border guard palaces of Qitian Empire have been gone. The main force of the Southern Palace was destroyed by Huang Zhengchu, and the captured Emperor Liangping was already dead in name only. The Western King Emperor Chengbi retreated, and one of the main troops was not left. The Western Regions were bitter and cold. After this defeat, Huang Chengbi no longer had the possibility of winning the imperial capital. However, all the permanent troops of Qitian provinces were waiting and watching, each with ulterior motives. There were many forces mixed in this. They were always spying on secretly and were ready to take action.

If the Eastern Palace and the Northern Palace start a war in front of the imperial capital, then things will be out of control. Now the only royal power that is completely loyal to the Qitian Empire is the Eastern Palace. The Northern Palace is to be the Qitian Emperor, and he definitely does not want the Empire to fall into endless rebellion. But if the Northern Palace and the Eastern Palace fight each other, many forces hidden in the empire will surface, and the Qitian Empire will enter a full-scale turmoil and chaos. This is beyond doubt.

Huang Yuanwu didn't care about who could be the emperor of the heaven. What he cared about was the survival of the Eastern Palace, the death of his father, and the root of all this. Everything was definitely not just as simple as Emperor Zhengchu wanted to be the emperor.

Due to many directions, Huang Yuanwu has never decided the direction of the Eastern Palace. If he had the will to be the emperor, it would lead to the whole Qitian movement and chaos. If he did not, the destruction of the Eastern Palace would enter the countdown.

"Tell me, how do you think I'm going to express my opinion?" Huang Yuanwu was solemn at this moment. He knew that things had fallen a critical turning point. Now his attitude will determine the fate of Qi Tian. It is not only the imperial capital, but also the Northern Palace and the Eastern Palace. Qi Tian's vast territory will start a new direction because of Huang Yuanwu's attitude.

"Retreat." Huang Zhengchu looked at Huang Yuanwu and said solemnly: "Do you choose to leave Qitian and become king, or to continue to develop in a corner, I will not interfere. The passage to enter the imperial capital, the seven passes are always in your hands, and I will not take them back. As long as you retreat, it will not prevent me from ascending the throne, I can guarantee that I will never send troops to attack the Eastern Prince's Mansion. You and I are still brothers, for thousands of years."

Huang Yuanwu stopped Huang Zhengchu's words, chuckled slightly, then picked up the wine glass, drank it all, looked at Huang Zhengchu again, and said, "You can cheat three-year-old child by saying these words. Tell me, I feel that you are insulting me. Let me go back, what are you waiting for? When you sit firmly on the throne, then raise your butcher knife and chop it to the East Prince's Mansion? At that time, you may not talk to me like this. Am I right, brother?"

Huang Yuanwu said these words very bluntly. Every word was said in Huang Zhengchu's heart. Of course he thought so. He himself said that the Dongwang Mansion had heavy troops, hundreds of thousands of armor, millions of people, sufficient money and food, and a vast territory, and the whole army was very strong in combat. Leaving such an Eastern Palace by his side, no king would be at ease. Huang Yuanwu was not the old Eastern Palace, and he did not have the mood to be absolutely loyal to the emperor. Everything he did was for the Dongwang Mansion and for the future of the Dongwang Mansion.

In other words, Huang Yuanwu is the king of the Eastern Palace, and may not be the king of Qitian. However, Huang Zhengchu wants to be the emperor of Qitian and the emperor of the Eastern Palace.

This is an irreconcilable contradiction between Huang Yuanwu and Huang Zhengchu.

It will take more than a few years to develop a huge project in the southern border, and it may take several generations to see the results, and the movement and chaos of the sky are indeed near.

After Huang Yuanwu said that, Huang Zhengchu was silent. He tried to fight a puzzle with Huang Yuanwu, but Huang Yuanwu's attitude showed that this was impossible. It was also possible that the former emperor blindly allowed the Eastern Palace to develop in order to deal with the current situation. A huge royal palace closest to the imperial capital, anyone who wants to rebel must think clearly in his heart.

In the hall, there was a sense of depression for a moment, and no one spoke. Huang Zhengchu sat on his dragon throne and looked at Huang Yuanwu silently. Huang Yuanwu looked indifferent and looked at him quietly. The two of them looked at each other's eyes, and both saw uncompromising in each other's eyes.

If Emperor Zhengchu wants to be the emperor, he must pass the Eastern Palace. However, if the war begins, the final fruit will probably be picked by others, which is something that Emperor Zhengchu will definitely not want to see.

After a while, Emperor Zhengchu sighed softly and then said, "Yuanwu, what do you want?"

"It's very simple." Huang Yuanwu said in a deep voice: "You and I, all of you, go back, find other descendants of the previous emperor to inherit the throne, and tear the worms in the imperial capital to pieces. Everyone is in peace and the empire is in peace, so it's best."

"It's very simple." Huang Zhengchu nodded slightly when he heard this, and said, "But do you know, if I retreat, what is waiting for me? It's the butcher's knife."

"If you retreat, I can make sure that there is nothing wrong with your Northern Palace." Huang Yuanwu looked at Huang Zhengchu and said seriously: "I sent troops to the imperial capital to pray for the clear sky and the sky to avenge my father. Once this matter is over, the new emperor ascends the throne, I will make sure that there is nothing wrong with the Northern Palace, but the premise is that you must tell the envoy behind the scenes."

"Yuanwu, you are too naive." Huang Zhengchu did not make any big moves because of Huang Yuanwu's words. At this moment, he lay lazily on the dragon throne, looked at Huang Yuanwu, and whispered: "Things are not as simple as you imagined, nor as easy as you said. Since my Northern Palace sent troops, if I am at this point, I will never withdraw. I will either become an emperor or die in the battlefield. Apart from that, there is no other way to choose from, but you are different."

As he said that, Huang Zhengchu sat upright, stared at Huang Yuanwu with a straight face, and said, "You have a way to choose from, Yuanwu, retreat! If you want Yang Qin, I will tie him up and hand it over to you in person!"

Huang Zhengchu's tone was almost begging, and it was beyond Emperor Yuanwu's expectations. He looked at Emperor Zhengchu's mind and his mind was running quickly, as if he had realized something, but he seemed to have not noticed anything. Huang Zhengchu's last sentence was very different from what he had shown before, and he had no such momentum of moving forward just now. Huang Yuanwu almost thought he had heard it wrong.

When he looked at Huang Zhengchu again, he found that the man had returned to his current appearance, leaning lazily on the dragon throne, with an evil look on his face, as if what he had just happened was all the imaginations of Emperor Yuanwu.

"This is...what happened..." Huang Yuanwu was a little shocked. Now, looking at Huang Zhengchu's appearance, it was no different from the imagination of Emperor Zhengchu in his mind. Huang Zhengchu, who had just said the similar words of pleading, was his own imagination. He had never appeared before, as if all this was illusory.

Huang Yuanwu glanced at the other generals of the Northern Palace, and these people were still sitting upright. Since entering the hall, these people did not eat meat or drink alcohol, and they did so quietly without saying a word.

The atmosphere here is a bit solemn and weird. Huang Yuanwu now felt this deeply. He looked at Emperor Yan Zhengchu, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "This matter is of great importance. I want to consider it and be responsible for the entire Eastern Prince's Mansion."

"This is natural." Huang Zhengchu smiled, sat upright, picked up the wine glass and said to Huang Yuanwu: "This matter is of great importance and needs to be handled with caution. I didn't say you must give me an answer now. It's just that Yuanwu has to go back and think carefully, and don't let my efforts down."

Huang Yuanwu raised his glass, drank it all, nodded slightly, then stood up and whispered: "In this way, I will go back first. After the decision is made, I will notify you."

"Okay!" Emperor Zhengchu smiled and looked at Emperor Yuanwu, then rushed outside the door and shouted: "Send out the guest!"

The door of the hall opened immediately. The old man who had just led the way for Huang Yuanwu was standing outside the hall with a smile on his face, looking like he was waiting for Huang Yuanwu. Huang Yuanwu bowed to Emperor Zhengchu, then took a step and walked out of the hall along the side of the hall. His seven guards kept surrounding Huang Yuanwu faintly and following his footsteps out of the hall. Liu Yi kept walking in front of Huang Yuanwu and clearing the way for him.

The moment everyone stepped out of the hall, a soldier trotted over, knelt at the entrance of the hall, and whispered: "Report, the imperial edict has arrived."

Huang Yuanwu was stunned. He thought Yang Qin would not take action before, but now it seems that this is not the case. He stopped and looked aside. Three palace officials were heading towards the main hall. One of them was holding an imperial scepter, with an exquisite lantern hanging on the head of the stick, and the other was holding a brocade box in his hand with an imperial edict on it. The person walking in the middle was obviously older, holding a whisk in his hand. The three internal officials went straight into the main hall without being summoned. When passing by Huang Yuanwu, the headed internal officials looked at Huang Yuanwu.

The two of them had an extremely short look at each other, and then the inner official turned around and strode into the hall.

Huang Yuanwu became interested and did not move. He just stood outside the hall, wanting to hear what Yang Qin and Huang Zhengchu said, but the old man stood in front of Huang Yuanwu with a smile on his face and said softly: "Little Prince, please come here."

Huang Yuanwu saw that Huang Zhengchu was leaning on the dragon throne in the hall, and three inner officials stood in the hall. The head of the inner officials received the imperial edict and were about to read the imperial edict. Seeing this, Huang Yuanwu immediately lost interest. There must be no key information in this imperial edict. It was just to destroy his meeting with Huang Zhengchu. However, Yang Qin was a little slow, and his meeting with Huang Zhengchu was over.

Huang Yuanwu, who had lost interest, followed the old man and left the lord's mansion in Shuinan City and came to the door.

In front of the city lord's mansion, the soldiers of the East Prince's mansion were still confronting the soldiers of the North Prince's mansion, almost facing each other. During the meeting between Huang Yuanwu and Huang Zhengchu, they should have not moved.

"Return to the camp!" Seeing this, Huang Yuanwu didn't say much. He pulled the reins of the war horse handed over by the sergeant on the side, turned straight onto the horse, walked through the passage composed of two sergeants in front of the door, and headed straight for the city gate.
