"Chang Xiaotang, the king of Yuzhou, and Xu Mu, the prime minister and assistant minister, have come to the palace to pay homage to you!" The father-in-law standing outside the palace finally cleared his throat twice and sang loudly.
In the Jinluan Palace, on the dragon chair, Yuan An raised his head anxiously.
"Hurry up and give me a seat!"
He had to do this. I heard that the king of Yuzhou was a big rebel. Not only did he occupy the eight cities near Yuzhou, but most of the defeated troops also listened to him.
"These two newly made gilt chairs are quite good." Chang Shiro frowned. Xu Mu, who was standing by, heard the meaning of Chang Silang's words.
"Please take a seat, King of Yuzhou. I heard before that the relationship between the King of Yuzhou and my imperial uncle has always been good——"
"He called me a rebel." Chang Silang raised his head and interrupted Yuan An.
The two serving housekeepers did not dare to scold him. Even Yuan An himself suppressed his temper and put on an expression of joy.
"King of Yuzhou, let's talk business." Xu Mu said helplessly.
"I am entering Changyang this time to bring you a piece of news for Your Majesty." Changshiro spoke directly without shouting "Long Live" or asking for a performance.
"I don't know what the news is."
"Envoy Di Gou wanted to go to Changyang to discuss matters by passing through Laoguan. I would like to ask your Majesty what to do."
It was very simple to get straight to the point, but Yuan An, who was sitting on the dragon throne, turned pale for a moment.
"Naturally, it is to be turned away from the country. But how to do this specifically needs to be discussed with many ministers."
It's a bit ambiguous, but it has the meaning after all.
Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
The Beidi people are certainly terrifying, but what is even more terrifying is that the entire Daji has lost the confidence to fight against Beidi.
"I have remembered what your Majesty meant. Since it is a life-and-death battle, please make preparations in advance."
"Don't worry, King of Yuzhou. If Beidi dares to invade the border, I will definitely send an army to drive out Mandi!"
"That's very well said." Chang Shiro smiled half-heartedly, suddenly stood up, said goodbye, and walked out of the hall.
"Xu Zaifu, this King of Yuzhou has made some mistakes." After Chang Silang walked away, Yuan Ancai wiped the sweat from his forehead and his voice was slightly angry.
"This is his temperament." Xu Mu also stood up steadily, "I also hope that your majesty can abide by the holy will and not let down the thousands of people and the hard work of the young marquis."
"Of course. I named the country Yongchang, which means eternal prosperity." Yuan An's face paused, as if he was reciting a book.
Xu Mu nodded calmly, said goodbye, and walked out of the palace.
…
"So, you are setting up a reason for rebellion." On the imperial road, Xu Mu frowned slightly.
Others don't understand, but he can see it. Although Chang Shiro comes and goes like the wind, in fact, he has laid out the whole situation.
If Yuan An really resisted Di, nothing would happen.
If Yuan An is greedy for life and afraid of death, and only cares about the dragon chair under him, like the gang of traitors who begged for a living, then Chang Silang will have the right to raise his flag if he rebels again.
"I can't hide it from you." Chang Shiro smiled, "I told you before, little Taotao's time is too short, and there is not enough time for many things. The letter to me said that the first plan was to clear the emperor's side. Stay with the young emperor, relying on his status as imperial uncle, and spend a few years listening to politics and teaching him slowly."
"But he was poisoned by a strange poison and his time was running out. This path was obviously unworkable. Yuan An's decision to become emperor was actually the second move."
"If you can't find stability, you can only be a gambler."
Xu Mu was silent on the spot. If this was the case, everything would be explained. As the second move, Yuan An did fail.
"Master Chang, what do you want to do?"
"I want to be the emperor." Standing on the royal road, Tsuneshiro said it bluntly, without any hesitation, "I want to be a person who replants trees with my own hands, so that future generations can eat good fruits."
There was no strong wind, but Xu Mu only felt a little chilly.
"Little boss, I am different from you. If one day I can kill Chang Wei with my own hands for the sake of justice, can you, for example, your monster brother, your villagers?"
"I can't." Xu Mu shook his head directly.
"Depending on your temperament, you must think of a way to get the best of both worlds. This is the biggest difference between you and me."
"Master Chang is like a hero."
"The same to you."
In an instant, the two of them seemed to have a strange feeling. Xu Mu would not feel this way when facing Yuan Tao.
"Little boss, I still say the same thing, the inner city is not suitable for you, leave as soon as possible. To put it bluntly, if the new emperor is the Ming Lord, I will stay in Yuzhou and will not come to Changyang. .”
"I know that your journey has not been easy. From a stickman to a first-class prime minister in the Great Age. But things in the world are not as simple as you think. Save the country and rebel, apart from the factor of ambition, there are more, the same It’s about creating a new order.”
"He who is able will live there."
Chang Shiro stopped speaking and looked at Xu Mu with a burning gaze, "I don't know why, but I always feel that you, the Prime Minister, will not last long. Maybe one day you and I will have to compete with each other."
"Master Chang, I made a living by brewing wine, and I'm still brewing now."
"Pull you down." Changshiro scratched his head, "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. I just want to leave it here. It's your business whether you like it or not."
My brother, if Yuan An cannot afford it, he can choose.
In a daze, Xu Mu remembered Yuan Tao Tuogu's words again. It's the same as Liu Dal'er Tuogu Prime Minister, how similar.
"You should have your own way. The twenty-three cities in the inner city cannot hold you back from taking off. As an old friend, this is my final advice."
"You must be thinking that you would be sorry for Xiao Taotao if you give up the burden like this. But you made a mistake. Xiao Taotao wants to save not the royal family, but the whole world. He has been trapped in the royal family all his life and has to use the methods of Qingjun. "
"But you are different. You were born in a humble age, so you are not suitable to be a prime minister."
"I guess you should have already made your own plans."
Changshiro's throat hurt when he spoke, so he untied the wine gourd from his waist and took a few sips by himself.
"My little boss is a complicated person. Not to mention little Taotao, even I can't see through you."
"You've only had two sips of wine, and Master Chang is drunk again."
"I'm so drunk, do you want to hear it or not? If you weren't more handsome, I wouldn't bother to say anything."
Xu Mu curled his lips.
Changshiro was not wrong, but in fact, deep down in his heart, he didn't have much attachment to the palace and the huge Changyang City in front of him. Again, he didn't have any sense of belonging as the prime minister of the small imperial court.
If Yuan An can help him, he will try to help him. If Yuan An couldn't help him, he would try to let go.
But no matter which way he went, he had to do one thing.
Kill Chen Changqing!
"Hey, little boss, can you take me to Xiao Taotao's grave? Do you really think you are handsome? Are you teasing Gong E with your arms crossed like a clay sculpture?"
"Hey, my Lord Zaifu."
