Chapter 353
Helping Qing to make a smooth transition is not difficult for Long Tian at this moment.
Even if there are many masters around the eldest prince, they can stop the siege of the masters from the northern border. However, doing so is not good for Long Tian's reputation.
If the Northern King of Xia interferes in the affairs of Qing, it will attract countless criticisms.
"Second Prince, I'm sorry, this is your internal affairs of Qing. I am not a Qing citizen, so it is not appropriate to intervene rashly."
"Besides, I have important matters to attend to. I need to rush to Liyang Dynasty as soon as possible. I don't have time to waste. I'm afraid I can't help with this matter."
After thinking for a moment, Long Tian chose to refuse.
Long Tian is unwilling to waste energy and time on things that have no benefits.
If the two countries are neighbors, maybe Long Tian can make some arrangements. For future considerations, it is not that he cannot help, but the two countries are far apart, so it doesn't make much sense.
"Your Majesty, don't rush to make a decision. You can put forward any conditions and requirements. As long as I can do it, I will definitely meet your needs."
"Your Majesty knows that Xia has just ended the war and is recovering its national strength. There is a great demand for gold and silver. Your Majesty is willing to provide help."
In the eyes of outsiders, this is indeed a difficult problem that Xia needs to solve urgently, but they don't know that Long Tian has a system, and these difficulties are nothing at all.
"Forgive me for being frank, helping the second prince will have a great impact on my reputation, and the benefits in exchange are not enough for me to take risks."
Seeing the second prince's persistence, Long Tian explained that he believed Lin Yuan could understand this.
"Your Highness, the eldest prince is pressing me hard. I am worried about my life at any time. I have no extravagant desire for the throne, but my father set up a trap and I have to participate in it."
"Now, I have nothing else to ask for but a stable life. If Your Highness is unwilling to help, can you take me away from Qing Kingdom? Whether I stay in Liyang Dynasty or go to your Xia Kingdom, it's up to Your Highness."
Long Tian understood as soon as he heard it. This second prince Lin Yuan was very similar to Long Tian before. He just wanted to live a happy life and was unwilling to participate in intrigues and deceptions. However, he was born in the royal family and had no choice.
The second prince wanted to leave Qing Kingdom, but he couldn't do it without sufficient reasons or the protection of the strong.
Not to mention the eldest prince, even the old emperor would not let the chess piece he had cultivated with great effort just give up everything and leave.
Thinking of himself, Long Tian felt a little sympathetic to the second prince. After thinking about it, he came up with a plan.
"Second Prince, to be honest, you and I have similar personalities, and both of you have chosen this path out of helplessness."
"I am willing to help you once, but I am afraid that the price you have to pay is beyond your ability to bear."
After saying that, Long Tian looked at Lin Yuan.
"Please let me know, Your Majesty."
Lin Yuan is not stupid, and this kind of overlord is not so easy to talk to, and the conditions he puts forward must be extremely harsh.
"Qingguo, I want Qingguo."
Long Tian threw out a sentence directly, almost scaring Lin Yuan.
Thinking that Long Tian is not easy to talk to, Lin Yuan really didn't expect that Long Tian's appetite would be so big.
This guy is obviously going to the Liyang Dynasty, and it is unknown whether he can come back alive, but he dares to think about Qingguo. You know, the strength of Qingguo at this moment is not weaker than Xiaguo.
"Your Majesty, you..."
Not to mention that Lin Yuan can't accept such conditions, even this statement, Lin Yuan can't accept it.
"Second Prince, don't be anxious. Listen to me carefully."
Long Tian was not anxious.
"Second Prince, you need to pursue something in life. My pursuit is to unify the world. Although you think my idea is childish and ridiculous, but people should have dreams after all."
"I am not asking you to surrender to Xia Kingdom now, but in the future, after my Xia Kingdom rises, your Qing Kingdom can give up resistance, even if it is to repay my kindness today."
Lin Yuan understood.
Long Tian did not want to take the opportunity to control Qing Kingdom. With Long Tian's current ability, he could not do this.
What Long Tian wanted was Lin Yuan's promise that in the future, when Xia Kingdom rises, Lin Yuan would surrender voluntarily.
In fact, this condition seems harsh, but it is good for both parties.
If Long Tian's rise involves Qing Kingdom, it means that Long Tian has solved Chu Kingdom and Shan Kingdom. It is hard to say to what extent the strength will explode, but it is obvious that Qing Kingdom is not an opponent.
If the two of them reach an agreement at this moment, a meaningless war will be avoided.
It is also good for Qing. Since they know they cannot win, why fight? It is better to take this opportunity for Lin Yuan to bring Qing to join Xia, which can also help Qing avoid war.
Another point is that with Lin Yuan's personality, even if he succeeds to the throne, it will be difficult for him to lead Qing to rise. You know, Qing may be in trouble later.It is the Liyang Dynasty.
How can others snore beside my bed? The Liyang Dynasty will never give Qing the opportunity to rise.
One country is developing rapidly, while the other country is stagnant. The result is obvious.
"Second Prince, I only need a promise from you, and there will be no other restrictions and requirements."
"As for whether you will regret it in the future, I don't care. In this world, the strong have the right to speak, and the same is true for the imperial power and the country."
This condition seems unreasonable, but strictly speaking, it is very beneficial to Lin Yuan. It can not only prevent him from dying, but also inherit the throne, leaving enough retreat in the future.
If Long Tian unfortunately dies in the Liyang Dynasty, then he, Lin Yuan, will be a bargain for nothing.
"Okay, I promise you."
Lin Yuan quickly figured out the pros and cons. A promise in exchange for a life is worth it. As for the future, who can say for sure.
"It's great. The second prince is so decisive. He is a material for great things."
Long Tian praised casually.
"Tell me your plan."
Long Tian has limited time and has no time to waste in Qing Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, I came to meet you after lobbying my father and getting his consent."
"Although this trip is aboveboard, my brother will definitely not be at ease with his character and will definitely wait for you on your way."
"As long as your people suddenly attack when we meet, and deal with the masters around my brother, I can handle the rest."
The second prince is quite scheming. He strives for this opportunity not only to contact Long Tian, but also to set a trap for the eldest prince.
They are brothers, no one knows each other better than them, and the possibility of the eldest prince falling into the trap is very high.
"Okay, but you have to deal with the troubles after the death of the eldest prince. I don't want any more trouble, and I don't want to delay my trip because of this."
"Second prince, I have to remind you that cooperation must be sincere, otherwise, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
This is Long Tian's reminder, don't use yourself as a knife, the consequences will definitely be unbearable for the second prince.
The second prince had already considered this before he came.
