Chapter 1199 New Old 6 Appears

West Canal.

"roll!"

"Everyone, get out of here!"

"what……"

In the palace, Sanjay was going crazy again, smashing things and roaring angrily.

The maids were frightened and turned pale. They all retreated to the door, but they did not dare to leave.

Since he suffered from eye disease, Sanjie's temperament changed drastically. He became extremely cruel and would beat, scold, or even kill the maids in the palace at will.

Just a few days ago, Sangjie strangled a concubine to death just because she said, "The snow scene outside is so beautiful."

Even the monk who treated Sangjie's eyes was executed by Sangjie.

Today, Sangjie is no longer the heroic ruler who unified the plateau, but just a tyrant.

Before Su Zan entered the palace, he heard a roar coming from inside the palace.

Su Zan stopped, feeling a little scared, and sighed helplessly.

Until now, they are not completely sure whether Sangjie's eye disease is caused by the wine sent by Yun Zheng.

Sanjay wasn't the only one drinking that wine.

Many of them had received rewards from Sanjay and had drunk the wine, but everyone else had no problem.

There was something wrong with Sanjay's eyes.

Although Sanjay is not completely blind, he is half blind.

He also didn't know whether Sanjay, whose temperament had changed drastically, would blame him for bringing back the wine and leaving him half blind.

"Ugh……"

Su Zan sighed silently, hesitated for a moment, and turned and left.

Given Sangjie's current situation, it is extremely difficult to talk to him calmly, let alone discuss national affairs with him.

But now, Yun Zheng is watching covetously, the Hun Gu rebels are gradually growing stronger, Sangjie has no intention of handling government affairs, and several princes are still fighting openly and secretly.

Internal and external troubles!

The entire Xiqu is gradually approaching the brink of collapse.

If this continues, Xiqu may become the fastest-perishing unified dynasty in history.

Sangjie is no longer suitable to lead the entire Xiqu!

Suddenly, Su Zan remembered Basang Tsering who had looked for him privately two days ago.

Pasang Tsering is Sangye's eldest son and the first heir to the throne.

But among Sanjay's sons, he admired Prince Chimphu the most.

Qinpu was brave in battle and humble in character. During the unification of Xiqu, he personally led his troops to force the three tribes of the plateau to surrender.

But compared with Pasang Tsering, Chinpu's strength was too weak, and there were relatively few princes and nobles who supported Chinpu.

If Chinpu inherits the throne, there will certainly be a massive purge within Xiqu.

If Basang Tsering inherits the throne, the internal friction in Xiqu can be minimized.

Just as Su Zan was walking out of the palace, a voice suddenly rang in his ears, "Grand Prime Minister!"

Su Zan turned his head and saw a maid with red clouds on her face walking out from behind a pillar in the palace.

"Who are you, and why do you want to call me?"

Su Zan frowned and asked the maid.

The maid knelt down before Suzan and held a letter above her head. "I am the maid of Prince Qinpu, and I am here to deliver a letter to the Prime Minister on behalf of my master."

Prince Chimpu?

Su Zan took the letter, glanced at the maid calmly, and walked out of the palace without rushing to open it.

It was not until he returned home that Su Zan opened the letter from Qin Pu.

After reading the contents of the letter, Su Zan couldn't calm down for a long time.

This letter contains nothing else but Xiqu's current predicament and countermeasures.

Many of Chinpu's ideas and political views coincide with his.

If he had not had so little contact with Chimpu, he would have mistakenly believed that he had said these things to Chimpu.

However, some of Chimp's ideas are extremely bold.

Although he had thought about those things before, he never dared to bring them up.

After a long time, Su Zan put away the letter and paced back and forth in the room, as if he was making a difficult decision.

After a long time, Su Zan suddenly stopped.

After thinking silently for a while, Su Zan called his son and whispered a few words in his ear.

……

That night, Chinpu came to a temple in the royal city alone, and was led by a monk to the monks' room behind the temple.

In the monk's room, Su Zan sat there alone, with only the dim candlelight in the room.

"I have seen the great prime minister!"

Qinpu took the initiative to salute Suzan.

Su Zan was conferred the title of "Da Lun Su Zan", and according to etiquette, he should indeed pay his respects to Su Zan.

Not to mention him, even Basang Tsering had to bow when seeing Suzan.

"Your Highness actually went to the appointment alone. Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you?"

Suzan raised his head slightly, holding the letter from Qinpu in his hand, "This letter alone is enough to cost your life."

Qinpu smiled and answered calmly: "I am only thinking about the future of Xiqu, and I believe that the Prime Minister is thinking about it too!"

Qinpu's answer satisfied Suzan.

Su Zan slowly stood up and raised his hand to invite him: "Your Highness, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Prime Minister." Qinpu bowed slightly and sat down slowly.

Su Zan also sat down again.

Su Zan picked up the butter tea on the table and poured a cup for Qin Pu, then asked slowly, "Your Highness, do you know what it means to be a vassal of Daqian?"

"Of course I know." Qin Pu replied, "It's not that I want to be a vassal of Daqian, but my Xiqu has to be a vassal of Daqian now!"

"Why?"

Suzan asked Qinpu with a bit of testing meaning.

Qin Pu: "The one who poses the greatest threat to Xiqu has always been Yun Zheng! And similarly, the one who poses the greatest threat to the Daqian court is also Yun Zheng..."

Xiqu and the Daqian court have a common enemy.

However, to the Daqian court, Xiqu was a foreign race.

No matter how they cooperate with the Daqian court, the Daqian court will be wary of them.

By paying tribute to Daqian, Xiqu became a vassal state of Daqian.

In this case, if Yun Zheng attacks from the Northwest Protectorate, he would be attacking the vassal state of Daqian.

At least, in name only, Yun Zheng certainly couldn't justify it.

As Daqian is the suzerain state of Xiqu, if Yun Zheng sends troops to attack Xiqu, the Daqian court should send troops to help.

This is also more in line with the interests of the Daqian court.

Of course, this is just an ideal situation.

But even if the Daqian court does not send troops to help, they only need to face Yun Zheng's army and do not need to worry too much about the Daqian court taking advantage of the situation.

If Yun Zheng and the Daqian court do not attack Xiqu, it will definitely be the best outcome for Xiqu.

They can seize the time to quell internal rebellion and integrate the forces of the various tribes in Xiqu.

What Xiqu lacks most now is time!

As long as we can buy more time, even if we surrender to Daqian, it will only be a temporary humiliation.

While Qinpu was analyzing the situation, Suzan did not interrupt and just drank the butter tea quietly.

After Qinpu finished speaking, Suzan asked calmly, "Your Highness, do you know that if we submit to Daqian, the internal turmoil in Xiqu will become even greater?"

“Turbulence is inevitable.”

Qin Pu said in a deep voice: "The Holy King has just unified the various tribes in Xiqu. If we submit to Daqian at this time, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among some tribes, and even lead them to directly rebel."

Su Zan nodded and continued to ask: "Since you understand, why do you still think that Xiqu should submit to Daqian?"
