Rumors continued to spread in Beiliang and Beimang that Xu Xiao was seriously ill. Xu Fengnian, who returned to the palace, did not believe it.
Although Xu Xiao is now old and no longer as brave as before, he can still ride a strong horse and draw a strong bow.
According to Fushui Zhai's secret report, this message has become more and more intense and has spread to the border between Beiliang and Liyang.
Xu Xiao, as the protagonist of this message, not only did not stop it, but was happy to see it happen.
Xu Fengnian stared at Xu Xiao who was sitting opposite and asked, "Did you spread this rumor?"
Xu Xiao said with a smile: "You have misunderstood this. The rumors were spread by Tianjiao."
Xu Fengnian saw through the calculation behind this at a glance, "For the rumors of King Yan to spread to such an extent, you, the King of Northern Liang, must be behind this."
Xu Xiao admitted Xu Fengnian's words, "Tianjiao sent me a message asking me to cooperate. As a father, how can I not cooperate?"
After passing Tiemenguan and meeting with King Yan, Xu Fengnian didn't think that the plan behind King Yan would be so simple. "I can see through the plan at a glance. Isn't it reasonable for Beimang Empress and the Taiping Order to see through it? Beimang." The reason for stopping the action is probably related to this rumor. But what exactly does King Yan want to do? Is it just to spread this false rumor? "
Xu Xiao obviously didn't want to say anything, so he waved his hand and said, "Anyway, there won't be a war between Liang and Mang for the time being, so you should set off for Jingcheng."
Speaking of this, Xu Xiao seemed to have remembered the past and suddenly started talking, "In the Spring and Autumn War, the nine kingdoms fought for supremacy. Our Beiliang army destroyed the six kingdoms in one breath. We all fought head-on and sacrificed our lives." Yeah, how many heroes do you think are going to die? I don’t want to proclaim myself emperor. Later, it was okay that the horses were riding in the rivers and lakes, and those who left were old pawns who were involved in the rivers and lakes."
"But in the expedition against Beimang, the late emperor's imperial edict was a cruel one. As soon as I had no choice but to withdraw, Beiliang's army began to lose morale. The reasons were complicated, but the result was that a large number of captains were lost. The old man who wants to make great achievements has also lost his vision."
"So it is difficult for a scholar to govern a country, but it is easy for a scholar to harm others. During this trip to the capital, I originally wanted to remind you to be extra careful about Yuan Benxi, a counselor who is as famous as Yishan. However, after the battle of Tiemenguan, it is not There is no need to worry anymore. Who would have thought that Mr. Yuan, who has been all-powerful for so many years, would die in Iron Gate?"
"I think back then, during the wars in the Spring and Autumn Period, the hard knives relied on warriors like me and Gu Jiantang, while the soft knives that didn't see blood were mostly made by Yuan Benxi. The blue-eyed Zhang Julu was able to transform from a small Huang Meng to a young man in three years. It was also his instruction that Li directly became the chief minister, a crucial position in the Liyang Dynasty. In my opinion, scholars are naturally more talented and learned than us reckless men on horseback and holding swords, but most of them have high vision and low hand, and cannot achieve great things. They are extremely talented and knowledgeable. High, very few achieve anything. The really scary thing is scholars like Yuan Benxi who can take advantage of the situation and realize their ambitions. Before Emperor Daxing ascended the throne, he sincerely said, "I am willing to be Mr. Yuan's puppet." So Yuan Benxi Let him become the Nine-Five Lord. This Mr. Yuan has been calculating all his life, calculating again and again, and lost half of his tongue. Now because of that half of his tongue, his life is involved."
Xu Fengnian said: "Iron Gate Pass, King Yan's layout, a one-page book will kill the masters and important figures in Liyang Dynasty. Cao Changqing talked about Tai'an City, the emperor died, and all the Qin Tianjian Qi training soldiers were killed and injured. This The impact of several things on Liyang cannot be explained clearly by the shock of the court. I just don’t know what the situation will be like when the vassal king comes to Beijing this time."
Xu Xiao analyzed: "The vassal kings usually visit the capital once every four years, and this visit coincides with the new emperor's enthronement. Among the six vassal kings, apart from his father, Yanchi King Zhao Bing has the most powerful soldiers and horses. The late emperor wanted Chen Zhibao to be granted the title of Wang Nanjiang had no intention of checking and balancing Zhao Bing. The king of Guangling, Zhao Yi, was born from the same mother as Emperor Daxing and was highly regarded. All the beatings on the surface were just staged for outsiders to see. He asked his subordinate Zuo Pu to shoot Sun Xiji as Guangling Dao Jing's envoy was worried that Zhao Yi's excessive methods would cause criticism and it would be difficult to ensure that the third hereditary member of the Liyang Dynasty would be replaced. Emperor Daxing's behavior towards these two people showed their closeness. Zhao Sui, the king of Jiaodong, because he was in charge of the two Liao Dynasties , it is inevitable that I have some friendship. In recent years, Emperor Daxing, Zhang Julu, and Gu Jiantang have jointly dealt with him, and he has been in a difficult situation. However, although this person was born in an emperor's family, he is rarely straightforward and trustworthy after a heart-to-heart relationship. Zhao Xun, King of Jingan, will not go Said, Xiongzhou.
Zhao Ying, the king of Huainan, was originally very similar to the old emperor, but he lacked the vigor, and he himself had to be stoic. Among the five clan kings, he was the most suppressed and had no real power at all. This time the vassal king comes to Beijing as usual, I will definitely not go, but Chen Zhibao, who has not yet been crowned king and has joined the imperial court, is destined to go, so there will be a big scene of six kings coming to Beijing. Although the scene this time is huge, the new emperor Zhao Zhuan has ascended the throne, and Zhang Julu is behind the scenes. @essence\/书馆·无码第一~~ It’s hard for you to die if you go to watch the ceremony. Emperor, Zhang Dang will definitely try his best to protect you. Moreover, Renmao and Master Liuhao are dead, and only a few of the killers from Qintian Prison are dead, so you don’t have to worry too much. This time, the new emperor ordered the new internal supervisor Song Tanglu to come to invite you and brought you two sets of python robes. One red and one white. The call is for you, the Crown Prince of Northern Liang, to attend the ceremony. Which one do you want to wear? "
"Let's not talk about this for now." Xu Fengnian shook his head and asked, "I guess you already know about my bet with Yiyi Book."
Xu Xiao naturally knew, "You have entered the Celestial Realm after three years of Yangshou. This opportunity will make the warriors all over the world cry with envy."
Xu Fengnian said: "That's not what I want to say. Before leaving, I asked Qingniao to give me a brochure. The content of the brochure is about the sword armor among the Thirteen Armors of Spring and Autumn."
Xu Xiao smiled and said: "It seems that you already know about your grandfather."
Xu Fengnian asked: "Since you know, why have you never mentioned him?"
Xu Xiao said calmly: "What are you going to see? Because of your mother's affairs, he doesn't like me, and I don't like him either. He has been sneaking into the palace for so many years, and since he is unwilling to show up, it means that he doesn't want to see you yet. Then I How can you make your own decisions?"
Xu Fengnian said bitterly: "It's a pity that during this trip to Beimang, I didn't even see my uncle."
Xu Xiao shook his head and said: "He has seen you, but he has not seen you. Since the relationship is over, don't think about it anymore."
Having said that, Xu Fengnian is preparing for his trip to the capital.
On Yundu Mountain, Yi Yishu sat with his back to King Yan. .
