The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

Listening to Xiao Yiming's words, Prince Qing leaned back on his chair, but the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

"Boy, you are good at speaking nice words."

"But there's something different about you and me."

"What you are saying now may be what you really think in your heart, but a lifetime is not just five or ten years."

Xiao Yiming put down his hands and looked at Prince Qing in a daze.

Prince Qing pursed his lips and chuckled, "In a few years, when people of your age but not as good as you emerge and become famous, while you remain unknown, then... hehe, you will not feel comfortable."

As he spoke, Prince Qing bent down, took out the rice box, grabbed a handful of medicinal rice and threw it into the water.

Xiao Yiming looked at the lotus flowers swaying slightly on the water and said calmly, "No, Your Highness."

"Your Highness's kindness, I have already said that I will repay it with my life. I will follow Your Highness for the rest of my life. No matter where I am, I will not change my mind."

Prince Qing lowered his head to clean the rice grains stuck between his fingers and said calmly: "Everyone will change."

"Even I am the same. When I was a teenager, I also aspired to be the ruler of the world in the future, to make the Daqian army invincible, to expand the territory externally, and to quell the war internally."

"I don't have that idea anymore. Peace in the world is already a luxury. It's even more difficult to make Daqian go further and continue to expand its territory."

Xiao Yiming turned his head to look at Prince Qing: "Man can conquer nature. As long as we keep working towards this goal, no matter how difficult the task is, it will not be a problem."

He added: "Of course, this is just my opinion." Xiao Yiming smiled.

Prince Qing nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Young people all think this way."

"Jianren often whispers in my ear that he wants more soldiers and wants to make great contributions on the battlefield. I see that he is unwilling to admit defeat and he doesn't want to see Qin Haotian become stronger than him."

"You see, he just wants to soar to the sky. In another 10 or 20 years, when I'm old, this guy probably won't even take me seriously."

Xiao Yiming shook his head: "That won't happen, Your Highness. The eldest son has the ambition to make achievements. This is a good thing. It is better than..."

Before he finished speaking, Prince Qing sneered, "Better than Jianzhong, right? He is idle and unlearned."

"No..." Xiao Yiming lowered his head.

Prince Qing didn't care and continued, "Jianren wants to make achievements now. When he has made enough achievements and has a high enough official position, he should think about the throne. If he is given the throne, then there will be no problem. If not, then won't there be trouble?"

"But who can say for sure? Maybe after suffering a few setbacks on the battlefield, he will lose his desire to compete and become like me, haha."

"After all, when we are young, we are full of vigor and ambition, but how many people can carry them out throughout their lives?"

"It's hard for common people to do this, let alone for us royal children. Your Majesty scolds me for not being enterprising and always doing things perfunctorily, which is not without reason, so I never refute it."

He laughed and continued, "Fortunately, I haven't reached the point where I'm obsessed with sex, money, and living a life of drunkenness and dreams."

Xiao Yiming said: "Your Highness is not a confused person, Your Highness can see clearly."

"I love to hear this flattery, hahaha." Prince Qing looked at Xiao Yiming and laughed. Xiao Yiming blushed and was about to speak, but he heard Prince Qing continue:

"I am just like this. I don't have the energy to do those things."

"Let those who are ambitious do it, such as Jianren, Qin Haotian... well, we have to add Xiong Yong, he is also okay."

"Huang Long is not so good...this big fool. But you know what, he is really lucky. With such little ability, he is always safe and sound on the battlefield. Instead, he can get some credits, big and small. Haha." Thinking of Huang Long, King Qing smiled so much that his eyes narrowed.

Xiao Yiming responded: "General Huang is a lucky general."

"Ah? Lucky General? When did you get this title?" Prince Qing looked at Xiao Yiming with an incredulous smile.

Xiao Yiming chuckled and said, "The shadow guards delivered the secret book a few days ago. General Huang returned to Beijing a few days ago, and Lord Wang hosted a banquet at his home. During the banquet, Lord Wang kept calling General Huang a lucky general. General Huang was very happy, and then he got drunk and passed out. He even stayed in Lord Wang's house that night."

"Hahaha." Prince Qing laughed out loud.

"These two are of the same kind. One spares no effort to amass wealth, while the other tries every possible means to gain military merit."

"Especially Wang Yong, he is extremely rich. Fortunately, the national treasury has sufficient funds. When the day comes when the national treasury is short of funds, we can ask him to spit out the money to fill the treasury."

Xiao Yiming nodded and said with a smile, "Lord Wang did give General Huang a lot of gifts that night."

Prince Qing sneered and said, "No matter how much you send it, you will eventually have to spit it out."

"But speaking of it, Huang Long is getting bolder and bolder."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yiming's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, have you received other news? We have been monitoring until now, but we haven't found any ulterior motives of General Huang? Except... accepting some money."

Seeing Xiao Yiming's serious expression, Prince Qing laughed even harder.

"I mean he's so bold that he even stays out all night."

"Isn't his wife very strict? Everyone knows that Huang Long is afraid of his wife. If he doesn't come home tonight, I think he will suffer."

Xiao Yiming's solemn expression suddenly relaxed and he immediately laughed:

"Yes, General Huang was stopped from entering his room the next day after he returned. The day before yesterday, General Huang kept saying that he was leaving Jinling soon, and he was so anxious that he waited at the door until midnight."

Prince Qing smiled and shook his head: "What a useless fellow, not manly at all."

Xiao Yiming said, "Your Highness, General Huang doesn't seem to be afraid of his wife. He probably respects her. They usually get along very well. General Huang has never taken a concubine."

"Really? Then I have to think highly of him." Prince Qing stroked his chin and suddenly asked, "Where is the Qin Mansion?"

Hearing the words "Qin Mansion", Xiao Yiming restrained his smile and said seriously:

"It's impossible to infiltrate the inner house. The Qin Mansion employs people who know everything about the family. We can only monitor the outer house and outside the mansion, but everything is normal."

"There was no clique-building, power-seeking or bribery."

The smile on Prince Qing's face slowly disappeared. He crossed his hands, crossed his legs, and tapped the back of his left hand with his right index finger:

"But every time he returns to Beijing, many generals in Beijing go to look for him."

"Yes, Your Highness. Most of them are General Qin's brothers. However, General Qin spends most of his time on the battlefield and rarely returns to the capital. Therefore, the number of times they get together is very few. When they get together, they just drink and don't talk about anything out of the ordinary."

Prince Qing nodded and said:

"Qin Haotian has led the Red Flame Army and has been victorious in every battle. He has won more and more military exploits. No one in the government or the country can compare to him. His reputation is surprisingly good. After monitoring him for such a long time, it seems that he is really a loyal and capable person."

"What do you think?" He suddenly looked at Xiao Yiming.
