And because he was worried about the arrogance that King Shu had developed in Daqi during those years. A temperament that no one looks down upon except himself. When it comes to specific implementation, he will ruin his own plan and go into battle to implement it himself. On the one hand, we have to look at the fact that under the deliberate guidance of some people in the early years, the King of Shu developed a lustful, murderous, and extremely cruel character. Don't do something like killing villages and villages at every turn, not taking other people's lives seriously, and triggering a common resistance among all the tribes in the Western Regions.
What's more, Xiao Jiujiu, who was originally gathered under the King of Shu for profit, but in fact mostly had his own thoughts, did not really surrender to the King of Shu. Especially those Tubo people and people from the tribes in the Western Regions, try to stay together as much as possible, and don't fall apart prematurely due to uneven interests, so as not to cause an irreversible situation. What is the most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart. It is the most labor-intensive thing to bring people who can't be beaten together to serve the King of Shu.
It can be said that it takes a lot of effort and effort, and the speed of aging is far faster than that of normal people. After the King of Shu suddenly died in an accident, he almost exhausted his efforts to suppress those people who already had their own thoughts and barely managed to stay together. In the battle with Fan Dao, he finally defeated and seriously injured Fan Dao. However, he ignored the impact of aging on the body and underestimated Fan Dao's martial arts, so he also suffered backlash to a certain extent. Fan Dao's injury was indeed to the point where he almost wanted to die. But he was also seriously injured.
In order to barely keep those people together, he didn't even dare to expose and publicly treat his own injuries. In the past two years, I have been relying on my deep internal strength to barely suppress it. Originally, he thought that he could slowly adjust by relying on his deep internal strength. But he didn't expect that his injuries had become more and more serious in the past two years. Especially in the past year, I have often had a dull pain in my internal organs. He ventured to Beijing this time because he wanted to see Huang Qiong's mother again. I just want to find a successor in the clan.
It's not that he thinks that only the clan can stabilize the overall situation of the Western Region in a situation where the Western Region appears to be relatively calm on the surface, but in fact is already undercurrent in private. Now among the old tribe of the King of Shu in the Western Regions, there are many people who are ambitious. If you want to take advantage of the current chaos, even if you can't take over all the Shu king's forces, you can at least separate one side. However, these people only have ambitions, but no ability to match their ambitions. However, they are not convinced by anyone.
The reason why he wanted to find a successor from the clan was more to gain the support of the court, or to be precise, of the emperor in front of him. Use the authority of the emperor and Daqi to suppress those who are ambitious and prevent them from causing trouble. Of course, the starting point is that Daqi has regained its strength in some aspects under the painstaking efforts of this master. If that Lord were on the throne, Da Qi's power would decline, and his annual income would be unable to make ends meet, he would definitely not ask for help from the imperial court.
If you can't write two yellow characters in one stroke, no matter which clan enters the Western Regions, it means that the person standing behind it is the emperor of Daqi. It will make those who are still somewhat taboo about the imperial court feel pressure. Along the way, he originally wanted to win over the son of the King of Shu. But they still didn't get those. Both sides were afraid that they would lose their lives when they got to the Western Regions. Compared with his father, who had the character of a gambler who dared to risk everything at critical moments, he was a completely different person. He replied with satisfaction.
Not only were those people unwilling to go to the Western Regions, but they also took over what their fathers had laid, which was not a small legacy. He even avoided him like a snake or a scorpion, and once reported him to Nanzhen Fusi. Extremely disappointed, he could only settle for the next best thing. Put your hope on other clans and get in touch with them. I found that these people are more focused either on living and drinking, or on how to make money. Not to mention that they themselves are unwilling to go to the Western Regions and suffer the hardship. Even if they were willing to go, he wouldn't dare to let them go.
The King of Shu's business in the Western Region is far from stable, if they are allowed to take over. I'm afraid it won't take more than a few years for everything to be wiped out. Only the emperor in front of him, the person chosen for him, could be considered worthy of his attention. Originally, he should have returned to the Western Region at this time. But for some reason, the person whom she knew she had been in love with for decades was no longer in the palace, and her whereabouts were unknown. But he still refused to give up. After searching Yongfu Palace to no avail, he ventured to the main palace again.
Now, Huang Qiong's words were quite right, touching on his secret that could not be told to outsiders, which made his expression change slightly. And looking at the woman in front of him, the woman he admired the most at the beginning, was born to the man he regarded as extremely useless, but she was raised exceptionally well by her, and she got to where she is now step by step, almost entirely relying on her own abilities. It can be said that most young people do not rely on their mothers. Thinking about the person he had worked so hard to cultivate over the years, he sighed in his heart.
And looking at the person in front of him with a gloomy expression, he was obviously very stimulated by his words. Huang Qiong smiled faintly and said: "I know that even if you and your mother are not related by blood, you are at least an old friend. But don't think that because I care about your identity, you can do whatever you want. I act , although he is not as good as your original master, he is not a compassionate person. If it weren't for you, you still know yourself and don't openly become enemies with the imperial court."
"In addition, you are not the kind of person who is unscrupulous and murderous like Shu Banren. When Shu Banren was in Liangchuan, he didn't do too many things that made people and gods angry. It must be due to your restraint. Here we are. After the Western Regions, I have been restrained. Because of this, I have always ignored you. Otherwise, I would have locked you up from the moment you entered the capital. I know that since you know your mother, you must Your martial arts skills are not low either. But no matter how high your martial arts skills are, can you withstand the rain of bows, arrows and firearms?"
After the words fell, Huang Qiong turned her back and looked at the bright moon in the sky. From the words of this man and herself, she vaguely guessed that the purpose of this man entering the palace was not just for someone, but probably for his mother's reasons as well. After hesitating for a while, he finally sighed and said: "In any case, in the past few years, you have reserved a piece of heaven and earth for the descendants of the Han family in the yellow sands of the Western Regions. What's more, I, the descendants of the Han family, and the Central Plains The vast world has erected a barrier to block the wind and sand from outside the territory and the foreign cavalry."
"Even if there is no merit in this matter, it can still be regarded as hard work. But on this point, I still admire you a little. The person I have chosen for you is one of the best in the clan in terms of talent. His character. , it’s quite possible. At least the things your original master did, he couldn’t do. As long as you help him to gain a foothold in the Western Regions in a short period of time, it will be a great achievement. This great achievement is not for me. This great Qi is for all descendants of China in the world."
"I also hope you can remember one thing. I don't care who the person who ultimately controls the Western Region is, or whether he is a descendant of my Huang family. I have never forced this point. I sent him just because he is facing Those people in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains expressed a practical attitude. What I care about is whether the vast grasslands and deserts in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains can be controlled by my Han family. I know that in all dynasties, except for Tubo in the former Tang Dynasty, The northwest direction has never really affected the life and death of dynasties in the past."
"In the northwest, compared to the nomadic people outside the Great Wall, there is at most only a scabies problem. In most periods, it is not even a scabies problem. The Western Regions are really too far away from the Central Plains. . But in the eyes of the scholar-bureaucrats, I attach great importance to the so-called barren land that is just a waste of labor and money. If it were not for my main energy, it would be placed on the mainland. I have no time to look west for the time being. More I don’t want to fight with each other and let the tribes in the Western Region and the surrounding countries watch the fun."
"Do you think I will let Shu cripple people and grow so big in the Western Region? Can you still stand in front of me arrogantly now? Help the people I found for you to run the Western Region. The support I should give will naturally I will give it to you. Again, I don’t care whether the Western Region is in the hands of the imperial court, let alone whether it is in the hands of people named Huang. What is more important is whether the Western Region is in the hands of my sons of the Han family and the descendants of China. Hand. This is what I say from the bottom of my heart. If you believe it, it’s up to you."
At this point, Huang Qiong turned around and looked at the person in front of her, her tone became colder and colder: "When you enter the palace this time, in addition to meeting me, you also want to meet my mother. I am now What I can tell you is that my mother left a long time ago. Even I, the son, don’t know where she went. The only thing I can guess is that she should fulfill her original promise and return to her so-called teacher. But don’t ask me where her master’s door is, I’ll tell you clearly, I don’t know either.”
"Since you and my mother are old friends, and your martial arts skills are not shallow, you must have met my mother in the world. You should know more about my mother's sect than I, my son. Are you willing to look for it, or can you find it? , it's up to you. Since you and your mother are old acquaintances, you must also know her temperament. Whether you can see her or not is your own business." After that, Huang Qiong turned around again, After a long while, he said: "If you can see your mother, please tell me that my son misses her."
Huang Qiong's words stunned the man. He did not expect that the young emperor in front of him was so thoughtful. Almost all of his thoughts on entering the palace this time were judged by him, and he put them forward so openly. I wanted to trick him, but in the end, I was tricked by him instead. He didn't even have a chance to refute. Not to mention anything else, just because of this exquisite heart and the perspective of looking at the problem, King Shu's defeat was not unjust at all.
With this kind of thinking, let alone the king of Shu who only knew how to fight with force and used any means to achieve his goals. Even myself back then probably didn't have the ability to see through people's hearts. And this talent is not only completely dependent on acquired cultivation, but probably more of it is talent. After thinking about this, this person, who has always been proud of his talents since he came out of the world, can't help but feel a little sad.
He has always been proud of his talents and both civil and military skills, and looked down upon all the emperors of Da Qi except Emperor Taizong. This was the first time that I had such a taboo feeling towards the young man in front of me. In addition to sighing that the descendants are really terrible, there is also a rare sense of awe in my heart. When he thought about it, he had spent countless efforts on the King of Shu, but he had taught such a cruel and unscrupulous person, and he sighed deeply in his heart.
