Chapter five hundred and ninety-four [the power of the prince]

After the young master and Shaoguan personally led the army to Susa, Bai Dong officially stepped into the Persian palace. ←, after not seeing him for more than a year, the young master and Shaoguan, who was not stingy in the past, became much more mature and steady, and he also had a dense beard. He had a superior temperament during his journey. Although he still called him "Brother of the Bai family", he would never forget to exude the majesty of his Persian governor in public. When he accompanied Bai Dong into the Persian palace, the thin King Xerxes III almost trotted to greet him, and then bent down to kiss Bai Dong's back with his stare.

After looking at Xerxes III, Bai Dong sighed slightly, "You can't save him?"

"How could it be? I keep my brother's teachings in mind and will never interfere with Persia's 'internal affairs'. It was Mogina's mother and Abu Hassan who sent people to rescue him from the dungeon. This guy was miserable. First, he was claustrophobic by Persian eunuchs. After Kodoman became the king of Persia, he continued to imprison him. I really don't know how he could hold on. Now this guy eats meat every day, but he can't keep it back."

Bai Dong looked at Okus with a humble smile on his face and sighed: "If you can keep your body back, you can't keep the blood and ambition that a man should have. This person is useless! Send someone to send him to his hometown and give him some fields and cattle and sheep. If he is lucky enough, he might be able to live up to his old age. Young officials, it seems that we are going to designate a spokesperson in Persia. Do you think it's appropriate to Mogina, or is Abu Hassan more reliable?"

Ying Quliang and Bai Dong had some thoughts about Persia. After Kodoman's death, Qin State supported two major forces, Mogina and Abu Hassan. Mogina was the heir to the Gambiss family, and behind them was the support of the Greeks. Now he is like a queen of half of the Persian Empire. Abu Hassan is not simple either. When Old Qin entered Persia, he was the first party to lead the way, and he also had the bloodline of the Persian royal family, and his foundation was tough.

Lao Qin could not have placed hundreds of thousands of troops in Persia. Therefore, he had to rely on the power of these two "pseudo-army" groups to indirectly control this huge empire, so the status of Xerxes III became very subtle. With him in Susa, Mogina and Abu Hassan would never be able to straighten it. The power of the two groups just took Susa as the center line, half of the Persian Empire.

It is also to balance the strength of both sides that after Kodoman's death, Lao Qin asked the young master and young officials to lead a large army to intimidate the major provinces of Persia, and secretly ordered Mogina and Abu Hassan to form a royal army to fight into the Suza Palace to rescue Xerxes III, who had been imprisoned for a long time. It was nothing more than hoping that Xerxes III would take this position similar to the Zhou emperor. In this way, even if Mogina and Abu Hassan had great ambitions, they would not have the orthodox status. Even if the two of them really joined forces to resist Qin, Qin could still send troops to quell the rebellion in the name of Xerxes III, and Persia would never be able to escape from the actual control of Qin.

Now it seems that Xerxes III is just a piece of mud that cannot be covered with the wall. Even if he is the Emperor of Zhou, Bai Dong came here, and brought Ying Quliang's order to choose one of Mogina and Abu Hassan to take over Persia, and the other one is only used for balance. If a young man leads his army to take over Persia, he is not afraid that the selected "lucky man" will become a big shot.

The young master nodded: "Brother, you are here to slander me again. How can I make a decision on such a thing? It's just that people like the Emperor and the Brother should make the decision. But in this way, the two of them will be divided into primary and secondary, and the force that moved into Persia will become even larger. To suppress it firmly, the 50,000 troops I have is not enough."

This is an obvious thing. Before, Mogina and Abu Hassan divided Persia in half. The Persian provinces also chose to be loyal to them. Both sides had equal strength and checked and balanced each other. The young master and young official could only be deterred. If one of them was selected to take over Persia, then this balance would be broken instantly. At that time, the young master and young official would not only maintain deterrence, but to allow these two major forces to continue to maintain balance. The 50,000 army was probably not enough.

"Persia, in addition to you, the Qin army, also has that boy Silde. If nothing unexpected happens, the king's order will soon reach. Silde will listen to your orders and control Persia is enough."

Bai Dong smiled and patted the young master Shaoguan on the shoulder: "Xerxes is an eternal legend in the hearts of Persians after all. Even if he is now a pile of mud, Ox will give you the Abdication edict, and let him prepare a throne edict, and the name of the transferee can be left blank first. If you do this, you can arrange for someone to send him to the village of Huatshuzimo, give him some fertile fields and cattle and sheep, and leave some people to ensure his safety and let him spend the rest of his life quietly. Shaoguan, you have grown up. If it were three years ago, even if I didn't ask, you would actively recommend the candidate to replace Xerxes III. Now you know what to say and what not to say?"

"Look at what my brother said, I am a graduate of the first phase of Fengming Academy, and can you lose face?" The young master and young official couldn't help but straighten his chest, his face full of pride.

"It's a pity that I can't show my emotions without showing my emotions?" Bai Dong couldn't help laughing: "But I still like you like this. If you really become a slick person, then you are not my young official brother."

The young master smiled and lowered his voice, "So should I choose Mogina or Abu Hassan? The king must have handed over this matter to his brother, right?" In his opinion, this matter was just a matter of Bai Dong nodding. After all, Bai Dong called him by Persia, and the second brother trusted Bai Dong so much.

"You guessed wrong this time. One of the people who came to Persia this time was the most qualified to do this, but it was not me."

"I can't think of anyone else who can take on this important task except my brother of the Bai family?"

"I don't know if you are really confused or fake. The crown prince of the country can act on behalf of the king inside and outside. Now the position of the crown prince of Qin has been determined, so it is Ying Si! Do you, the uncle, think that he cannot bear such a heavy responsibility and cannot bear such a big deal?"

"Is it Sier? How old is he?"

"It's not too young anymore. Old Du's goddaughter's belly is about to be made bigger by him. Is it still young?"

***

Cao'er agreed to the bet contest proposed by Bai Dong without much hesitation. She just wanted to bet with her brother, and her urge to rebel in adolescence had to vent her all through this bet contest.

If she wins, she will be more determined to her rebellious thoughts, join forces with Zhao Ji to find trouble for her brother, and be a thorough guard of freedom. Anyway, this is what her brother advocates, and he has said that freedom is more important to life and love. If she loses, it doesn’t matter. She will complete her marriage carefully, be a good child, try to find the heart of the little girl, and be her wife of Yue and her brother to be the magic lamp of the Bai family, warm the family and block all the wind and rain for it.

Cao'er started a field trip around Persia under the protection of Li Di. On the day he left, Ying Si cried so much that he was no longer a child. He didn't even know what kind of feelings he had with his little teacher. They respected Bai Dong and had a terrible rebellious mentality. However, the little teacher would put this rebellious mentality into action, but he only dared to hide it in his heart, so he admired and got close to Cao'er even more.

Moreover, Cao'er's age and beauty are the most likely to become the goddess in the minds of boys of his age. It is not a casual talk about asking for a sweat towel. This is his deepest pursuit and hobby in his heart. Of course, the target person must be at the level of a beautiful woman, and he must be a natural and fresh beauty like Cao'er's little sister.

Now that the little master is gone, let alone the original sweat towel, even the benefits of being able to find an excuse to secretly smell her fragrance on the side of the little master is lost. He dared not hate the grand tutor's bet, so he simply went to Wuzhuan. If it weren't for the marriage, how could the little master bet with the grand tutor? How could he leave him if he didn't bet? Wuzhuan would have died a thousand times!

Just like an angry child complaining that another child had snatched his beloved doll, Ying Si cursed Wu Zhuan for three days and three nights. When he opened his eyes on the morning of the fourth day, he was going to continue cursing, but when he saw the smiling face of the Grand Tutor, he was shocked.

"Tao Fu, I, I"

"I did a good job last time. I want to praise you very much."

"Si'er dares not, she just depends on the advice of the Grand Tutor, and the little sister Cao'er is helping me."

"Well, there is another big thing to leave to you. The Susa Palace is very beautiful? But don't always stare at the female slaves in the palace. You are the crown prince of Qin, so be careful of your style. Tomorrow, follow your teacher to meet Abu Hassan, who just came from Aria, and you will meet the Queen Mogina of Lydia in a few days."

"Mogina?"
