Lu Ze's trip to the Western Regions had no suspense since the battle at Tiemenguan.
Landuo Mountain, a Buddhist temple in the Western Regions, showed great importance to Lu Ze, the Prince of Liyang, who came here with a silver vase given by the emperor. It may be that the Tantric Dharma King also exerted some effort behind him. Lu Ze's trip to the west was relatively Yan was just going through the motions. The specific matters must have been planned in advance by Emperor Liyang and Yuan Bantan before setting off.
The land of the Western Region has been poor since ancient times, but its strategic location is extremely important.
Even though Liyang had won the Spring and Autumn War, which was destined to leave a mark in the annals of history, and the first emperor of Liyang incorporated the Western Regions into Liyang's territory, he actually left this mark on the westernmost part of the world's geological survey. Leave blank.
Firstly, because there were so many problems in the Western Regions, Liyang, who was recuperating and digesting the afterglow of the Eight Kingdoms, had no spare time to deal with the Western Regions. Secondly, the old emperor had foreseen that in the future, the three states of Beiliang would only know Xu Ziqi but not know Liyang. For people with the surname Yang, they think that they can cook slowly and do many things here.
Unexpectedly, the old emperor in his prime died suddenly and gradually evolved into the current situation.
Even the Jiange of the Southwest Fortress was able to be infiltrated by Beiliang, either to train or to instigate rebellion, and two thousand cavalry troops were buried in Liyang's belly.
On horseback, Lu Ze looked towards the direction of Tai'an City. The trip out was not that long, but it always felt like he had been outside for a long time, and the journey back seemed faster than when he came.
The iron gate at the border of the Western Region still looks like it is constantly being blown by the wind and sand.
Maybe many people don't know that there was such a level of fighting here half a month ago, and the truth cannot be made public. In the folk version, Xu Fengnian, the crown prince of Northern Liang, died under the rebellion of the Western Regions. As for that villain Various rumors about Chen Zhibao's Tu were even more noisy. Some said that the villain Tu was killed by his adoptive father Xu Xiao, who lost his son in his later years. Some said that the villain Tu returned to hide in the fields, and some said...
History has always been like this.
The real history may only be known to those who have experienced it personally. Most of the truth is like the small stones exposed in the wind and sand outside the iron gate. I don’t know when it will be buried by the wind and sand, and when future generations When they finally dug it out, they found that the stones buried underneath had completely changed their appearance.
Lu Ze and his party left Tai'an City in a grand manner.
Now when I came back, I was a little shabby. Both the Yulin Army and the Jinwu Guards lost more than half of them in the Battle of Tiemenguan. However, the energy displayed by this few remaining people was far higher than at the beginning. When the team was complete, Master Han Diaosi did not follow him to the capital. This eunuch chief had resigned from all his positions when he left, and now he has gone to Xishu in advance.
Lu Ze is crowned king!
The matter is a foregone conclusion.
When the heirs of the royal family come of age, they will be given the title of kings in various places in Liyang by the emperor. However, most of the thrones are the title of false county kings. This time, Lu Ze used his real achievements in exchange for the title of king of Shu with real power. The position of vassal king that had been vacant in Liyang for a long time finally fell into his pocket, but I don't know how the emperor arranged for the fourth emperor brother Zhao Zhuan.
In the original novel in the snow, Zhao Kai died at Tiemenguan, and Emperor Zhao Chun almost immediately decided to make the fourth prince Zhao Zhuan the crown prince of the East Palace.
But now Lu Ze has completely changed the so-called solution in the original work. Even Xu Fengnian, a male pig-footed man, has died. The butterfly effect has naturally occurred extremely thoroughly. Lu Ze is even considering whether to kill the Four Emperors brother in advance. , Now the situation in Tai'an City is complicated and inexplicable. As long as the killing situation is designed more cleverly, the so-called prince will die if he dies.
But this straightforward approach still seems inappropriate in the imperial capital of Tai'an City.
In his position, he seeks his own government.
Direct assassination at Tiemenguan was the only way to solve the problem, so Wang Xianzhi's assassination, which made Lu Ze himself feel unreasonable, would play such a big role. Not only did Lu Ze succeed in killing Xu Fengnian, but also Chen Zhibao The warrior immortal in white, who was extremely ambitious and equally capable, was buried in the yellow sand.
But in the battlefield of Tai'an City, the problem is far from being solved by killing alone.
Second Master Yang Taisui reminded Lu Ze when he returned: "This time you made a dangerous move and killed Xu Fengnian and Chen Zhibao, but in the future you still have to combine the right and the wrong. The fourth prince Zhao Zhuan has been in the capital these years. You have attracted the support of quite a few people, and after marrying Yan Dongwu from Northern Liang, you gained the favor of many officials from Liang. After returning to Beijing, His Majesty must be extremely satisfied with you, but Tiemen It’s impossible to speak openly about that matter, so a Shu king’s title is already the ultimate reward of the Holy Scroll.”
Of course Lu Ze knew what the second master meant.
Although he made a big profit this time, after all, he was just qualified to attack the throne. Even if he got a little sideways glance from the emperor, his foundation in the capital was not comparable to that of the fourth prince. After all, he himself Youbi grew up in Tai'an City, and behind him was an extremely powerful queen.
Lu Ze actually had a candidate in mind long ago.
When it comes to foundation, it still depends on the person. The Fourth Prince uses strength to win, but he can only take shortcuts here.
Lu Ze looked at the majestic imperial city getting closer and closer, with an incomprehensible expression.
"Your Highness, are we going back to the palace now?"
"No, let's go to Qintian Prison first."
.......
The news of Lu Ze's return to Beijing quickly spread throughout Tai'an City.
The various omens shown by His Majesty the Emperor ten years ago made the ministers in Tai'an City gradually understand one thing. This prince with a special status is likely to be the one who takes over the Western Shu Palace. Rumor has it that Shangyi Prison Hundreds of people in the three major bureaus are all busy, just to sew the highly respected vassal king's robe. The throne of King of Shu, which has been vacant for many years, seems to have a new owner.
What makes people more likely to think about it is naturally the news that has been circulating outside recently. It is rumored that Xu Xiao, the king of Northern Liang, and General A went to the border of Liangzhou twenty years ago. In the end, he returned with his body hunched over, thinking of the prince. Upon hearing the news that His Highness was surrounded and killed by the rebels, these officials from the capital, who had been trained to think like an old fox, quickly thought of the truth that frightened them beyond measure.
But no one dared to say it.
Lu Ze was currently in the attic at the top of Qintian Prison. There was an old man with a serene face lying quietly on the bed in front of him. Next to him was a young book boy who was crying quietly, and a young man in black with tears in his eyes. woman.
The girl Nan Huaiyu's eyes were red and swollen, and her figure, which was strong and soft due to martial arts training, now looked like a willow in the wind, helpless.
"Before he died, my grandfather saw Liyang's luck rising sharply, and he passed away with a smile on his face."
Lu Ze looked calmly at the old supervisor who treated him very well, and he said softly: "Old man Nan, the so-called destiny is hard to change is just bullshit. I said I would come back alive. I killed Beiliang. The crown prince, Xu Fengnian, buried the villain you said was invincible in the battlefield in the yellow sand of Iron Gate Pass."
"You lost the bet again."
"Unfortunately, this is the last game."
