Ren Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "The position of Holy King may be the dream of others, but to me, this throne is more like a prison. I have to be trapped in the palace every day, dealing with the government affairs that can never be completed. This is not the life I want, Your Highness should understand.”

Tang Yin was silent for a while and then said: "What about the saint? If you take the Zen position, what will the saint do?"

Ren Xiao said sternly: "The Saint is already secretly looking for an heir. I believe it won't be long before the Holy Temple will have a new owner. By then, Yao'er and I can travel around the world without any worries, living the life we ​​want. life.”

Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "It seems that Brother Ren has already planned his future life."

Ren Xiao took a deep look at Tang Yin and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured. I have already selected the candidate for the new Holy King, Elder Zheng Yuan. Elder Zheng is not only a powerful martial artist, but also a kind and fair man. He also has great admiration for Your Highness. I believe that Elder Zheng will inherit the position of Holy King and will never be an enemy of Feng Kingdom in the future..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Yin interrupted: "But except for Brother Ren, I don't trust anyone in Shenchi. I only trust you, Brother Ren!"

Ren Xiao secretly sighed. It wasn't that he didn't understand Tang Yin's thoughts, and it wasn't that he didn't want to help him, but he really didn't want to be the Holy King of Shenchi anymore.

He was carefree by nature and longed for a carefree and free life. However, since he became the Holy King, the life he longed for has been far away from him.

Every day, I face all kinds of elders, there are endless government affairs to deal with every day, I have to be trapped in the palace every day, and I have to withstand pressure from all aspects. Only those who have become holy kings will understand the taste. Ren Xiao himself often wonders whether he will always have to live like this in the future, without end, for the rest of his life, but even just thinking about it will make him feel sincere fear. Many times, even when he wakes up in the morning, he opens his eyes. Eyes, a strong feeling of boredom will arise in his heart. Ren Xiao, who is optimistic by nature, really doesn't want to bear this anymore, let alone live such a life.

Seeing Ren Xiao lowering his head and remaining silent, Tang Yin hit his forehead repeatedly in annoyance. After a moment, his face straightened, he stretched out two fingers and said, "Two years! Brother Ren just needs to persist for two more years. After two years, no matter who Brother Ren cedes the throne to, I will not interfere anymore." After speaking, he looked directly at Ren Xiao.

Ren Xiao's heart moved. He met Tang Yin's gaze and asked, "Your Highness, you mean that I can be the Holy King for another two years?"

Tang Yin nodded heavily and promised: "That's right! Just two years!"

Ren Xiao thought about it seriously. Two years was neither too short nor too long. It was not unacceptable. In any case, he could finally see the end. He thought for a while and finally nodded and said, "Okay, it's a deal, just two years!"

Tang Yin was overjoyed, stepped forward and patted Ren Xiao on the shoulder, saying, "Thank you so much, Brother Ren, for your help." With Ren Xiao here, Shenchi will not be an enemy of Feng Country, and can also become Feng Country's strongest backing. This is too important for the current Feng Country.

The arrival of Ren Xiao could not change the deadlock between Tang Yin and Xiao Xiang. Both of them were determined to win Zhendi, and neither one was willing to give in, and the negotiations between the two parties remained deadlocked.

By the time the Fengchuan and Fengchuan armies captured all the counties in Zhendi, the negotiations between Tang Yin and Xiao Xiang had no results.

What Tang Yin wanted was to capture the entire Zhendi. His reasons were very simple. They were the same two points mentioned before. First, the Sichuan people could not govern the Zhendi well and they could not suppress the Zhen people. Secondly, the Sichuan country had already Death, Xiao Xiang has no position to compete with himself for virginity.

However, Xiao Xiang also has her own concerns. Sichuan Kingdom has returned to the emperor, but Sichuan is actually still ruled by her, and if Tang Yin really takes over the virgin land, then Tang Yin's next target must be the emperor. Now she has Standing on the same ship as the Emperor, both are prosperous and devastated. If the Emperor is overthrown by Tang Yin, then Tang Yin's knife will definitely cut on his and the Sichuan people's necks.

Now, she relied on the emperor as her backer to fight against Tang Yin. As long as the emperor was around, Tang Yin would not dare to use force against Sichuan.

The ownership of Zhendi has not been finalized for a long time, and the delay is getting longer and longer. Xiao Xiang doesn't care. She has the time and patience to spend time with Tang Yin, but Tang Yinke gradually becomes impatient.

What he was worried about was that if Yin Chen suddenly issued an order and insisted on taking Zhendi back to the imperial court, the situation would be serious. In the past, Yin Zhun would never dare to do this, but now Yin Zhun can't tell the difference.

Since Xiao Xiang returned Sichuan to the imperial court, Yin Zhun gradually gained confidence and began to use a large number of Sichuan people. Not only were many Sichuan people among the ministers of the imperial court, but even the guards guarding the palace also set up a special team. The Sichuan Corps consisted of ten thousand people.

It can be seen that Yin Zhen now intends to use the power of the Sichuan people to crowd out the power of the Feng people.

Just when Tang Yin and Xiao Xiang were arguing, Ren Xiao finally stood up to be the peacemaker. He proposed to draw a line in the center of Zhendi and divide it into two parts. The Zhendi in the north belonged to Feng State, and the Zhendi in the south belonged to Xiao Xiang. The meaning of incense belongs to the imperial court.

His proposal was finally accepted by Tang Yin and Xiao Xiang. For Tang Yin, although he failed to achieve his goal and only occupied half of Zhendi, it was still better than if the entire Zhendi belonged to the imperial court.

As for Xiao Xiang, she also felt that this division was the best policy. If Tang Yin really got nothing, and the two sides were at odds with each other, or even fought each other, it might not be a good thing for herself or the imperial court.

Under Ren Xiao's mediation, the ownership of Zhendi finally came to an end. At this point, Zhenbei returns to the wind, while Zhennan belongs to the imperial court like Sichuan. Both parties can barely be considered happy!

Dividing a country is not a simple and easy task. It is not just about drawing a straight line on a map. It involves many details.

The line drawn from the middle of Zhendi has to pass through many counties, mountains and rivers. In actual operations, these counties, mountains and rivers cannot be divided into two halves. This requires one party to give up a piece of land, and the other side to compensate for another piece of land. land, both parties exchange with each other.

But there is a huge difference between land and land. Some land is fertile and has a large population, while some is barren and has a scarce population. Negotiations in this area alone are a long tug-of-war.

Ren Xiaoke couldn't wait for Fengchuan to work out the details. Seeing that the overall situation between the two parties had been decided, he said goodbye to Tang Yin and Xiao Xiang and returned to Shenchi. After Ren Xiao left, Tang Yin and Xiao Xiang still stayed in Xitang City. At this time, the focus of their dispute was the ownership of Xitang.

Xitang is impartial and located right in the center of Zhendi. If a line were drawn from the middle of Zhendi, Xitang would be divided into two halves. Of course, neither Tang Yin nor Xiao Xiang wanted to do this.

Xitang is a newly built city on the ruins. It is not large in scale yet, and there are not many buildings in the city, let alone prosperous. However, the location of Xitang is too important. It is in the center of Zhenji and extends in all directions. It can be said that it is the entire city. The hub of Zhendi.

If Xitang City is built in the future, then this will be an extremely important strategic location and a place where people's hearts aspire.

Regarding the ownership of Xitang, Tang Yin and Xiao Xiang were at a deadlock again. Tang Yin even offered to exchange a county in Zhendi for half of Xitang City in Xiao Xiang's hands, but Xiao Xiang refused.

On this day, there was a court meeting. None of the main ministers of the Feng Kingdom came to Xitang, so the court meeting was relatively simple. Tang Yin and several advisers gathered together to discuss the affairs of Zhendi.

After the court meeting began, Tang Yin's mind was not on this at all. He was thinking about how to persuade Xiao Xiang to let her give him the Western Tang. He asked absently: "Everyone, if there is nothing important, just leave!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a counselor stood up first, raised his hand to Tang Yin and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Tang Yin glanced at him and asked impatiently: "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, heavy rains have fallen in the Jishui area over the past few days, causing flooding. Now, both Heping County and Linqiao County have been severely affected, with countless refugees."

The Jishui he mentioned is located between Heping County and Linqiao County, and Jishui happens to be the middle line dividing the north and south Zhendi. Heping County to the north of Jishui is under the jurisdiction of Fengren, while Linqiao County to the south of Jishui Qiao County is under the jurisdiction of Sichuan people.

Tang Yin rubbed his chin and murmured as he pondered, "Is the disaster serious?"

"Exactly! Your Majesty, it is conservatively estimated that the number of victims in Heping County is no less than 200,000, or even more. Without food relief, countless of these victims will starve to death."

"Your Majesty, I think it is not a bad idea not to save the victims of the disaster in Heping County. First of all, our food and grass are not enough. Hundreds of thousands of troops need to eat and drink. The daily food and grass consumption is huge, and there is no surplus food to save Zhen. People, moreover, Zhen people are different from us. They have their own ways to save themselves. Even if you don't care about them, they will not die of hunger. I heard that Zhen people are good at eating people!"

After hearing what this man said, many of the counselors present threw their heads up and laughed, and their laughter was full of contempt. The counselor who spoke first frowned, looked around at the smiling crowd, and finally looked at Tang Yin, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Zhenren are also human beings. How can we just sit idly by and watch them starve to death? What's more, the victims of the disaster are There are hundreds of thousands of people who are homeless and hungry. If they are not properly resettled, the consequences will be disastrous if chaos breaks out!"

"If the unruly people of Zhendi dare to cause trouble, the king only needs to mobilize the army to annihilate them."

“How can governing a country be just about killing?”

"Killing one party can serve as a warning to others, but you must be tough on others!"

Listening to the quarrel of the counselors below, Tang Yin waved his hand, looked at the two people who were quarreling with red faces, he burst out laughing, and said: "What you two said is reasonable. You really can't be too weak to Zhen people. You Kudos to him, he might go one step further!"

"Your Majesty..."

"However, this time is different. The victims must be saved, and not only must they be saved, but they must be rescued decently and successfully. Everyone in Zhen must see that we Feng people regard Zhen as brothers!" ” (To be continued)
