"Nangong Hong is dead?" Sitting on the throne, Xu Mu looked stunned. But then, he slowly felt relieved. He roughly guessed that this time the great scholar entered Shu, he was bound to win. Unfortunately, there was a scolding Chen Fang who directly ruined the situation.
Therefore, only one person can die and be framed on Xishu. Undoubtedly, Nangong Hong, who vomited blood on the altar, is the best candidate.
"Lord, I'm afraid it's a frame-up. There will be another round of trouble." Xiao Qiaofu said seriously.
Xu Mu nodded.
Chang Sheng is good at finding loopholes and follows the folk way of Xi Shu. Things like Confucianism will happen sooner or later. However, Xu Mu was not worried.
It doesn't matter if the old Confucian dies or falls on his head. In other words, to put it more simply, the people of Western Shu are now surnamed by him, the King of Shu, or by outsiders like Beiyu.
The answer is yes. It's just that Chang Sheng has been trying to confuse the public for the sake of his plan.
"Lord, that swearing Chen Ru is going to enter the palace!" Sun Xun hurried over.
Xu Mu was not surprised and asked Sun Xun to let people in.
There was also no panic on Chen Fang's face. Regarding Nangong Hong's death, he only said a few words briefly.
"When Nangong Hong dies, it's just because someone is making trouble. King Shu doesn't need to worry. I'll help you come forward and find ten or eight excuses. I'll scold all the dogs who make trouble in the future."
Xu Mu still has confidence in Chen Fang's words.
"Chen Ru, then come here this time..."
"King Shu, I want to open a Confucian academy in Chengdu. By then, many talented people from all over the world will study in Shu."
Xu Mu thought silently.
According to his idea, he wanted to reject Chen Fang. But this kind of worldliness, such as the college system, is indispensable. In other words, this is the reason why political talents in Western Shu are scarce.
Most of the people who came out from the General Hall were heroes who led troops in battles and did not have much knowledge in political affairs. Now there are only eight states in Xishu, which is not enough. If we fight in the future and conquer many states, I'm afraid there won't even be a person in charge. We can't expect a bunch of generals to put down their swords and get abacus.
"Chen Ru, let's open a college as you said." Xu Mu smiled and said, "Just tell Wang Shenzhi the money needed and then reimburse it."
"Oh, you are worthy of being the King of Shu, this is incredible! Just wait, I will go back and write a historical article later——"
"No need for this." Xu Mu rubbed his forehead. If Chen Fang is really asked to write any history and literature, I'm afraid that the college that is still under construction will be as big as half of Shuzhou, and gods will ride on cranes to listen to his teachings.
Chen Fang smiled and nodded.
"By the way, King Shu, please think about the matter in Lizhou."
"Don't worry, this king will definitely keep this opportunity in mind. However, I will trouble you in the next few days about the great scholar entering Shu."
"The King of Shu is leaving?"
"Leave for a few days."
Due to delays, the original schedule to visit Yu Wen was delayed for several days. But now, Xu Mu doesn't want to wait any longer. He felt guilty for the number one general in Xishu.
"Okay, if it's some bullshit Northern Chongqing scholar, I'll help the King of Shu deal with it! Don't worry, I dare to scold you."
"Very good……"
Regarding the stalemate in the war between Dingzhou and Lizhou, according to Dongfang Jing's words, Chang Sheng's eyes may be diverted from the direction of Dingzhou and target the hinterland of Western Shu.
These words are not groundless. The thousand-mile attack back then was the best evidence. Fortunately, Yu Wensheng was so fierce that he blocked this round of strong attacks.
"Gou Fu, I'm sorry to trouble you about Chengdu."
Standing outside the city, Fu earnestly handed over the puppy Fu who was seeing him off, "Don't worry, my lord, just like the teacher was in Chengdu back then, so am I. I will never disappoint your lord!"
Xu Mu laughed, rubbed the forehead of the young man in front of him, and then led the men and horses towards Chuzhou.
…
"The lord is here, the lord has entered Chuzhou!"
At dusk a few days later, Xu Mu hurriedly entered the front line. Without any delay, he hurriedly dismounted his horse and was led to Yu Wen's hospital bed.
"Doctor Chen, how is Yu Wen's condition?"
"Just like what the letter said, I became a corpse." Chen Que sighed, but after a while he said seriously, "This kind of strange disease requires not only the power of doctors, but more importantly, General Yu Wen's own treatment." will."
Xu Mu was silent. It was obvious that he was like a vegetative person in later generations. At that time, I heard that during the last three days of defending the city, Yu Wen hardly ate, drank, or moved. He just stood on the front line and watched the battle below.
"Doctor Chen, can you send me back to Chengdu first? I'm worried about the bumpy road."
"King Shu, it's best for General Yu Wen to stay here. Seeing things and thinking about people, this first-line pass is where he is guarding, and it may not have any effect. As for the medicinal materials, I will be prepared and have people deliver them in advance. , King Shu doesn’t need to worry.”
After Chen Que's words, Xu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
He sat on the bed, lowered his gaze, and looked at the old brother in front of him who had followed him for seven or eight years. Yu Wen had known him since the time when the young marquis Qing was on the side of the emperor. Later, Yuan An was granted the title of commoner. He gave up his official position and led his troops to resist Beidi. Yu Wen also gave up his official position and went with him.
Sometimes he felt that he was so virtuous and capable that he could make so many loyal and righteous people in the world gather around him and follow him to conquer the world.
Probably, deep down in their hearts, these people have a long-cherished wish to create a new dynasty and bring peace to the world.
Xu Mu waved his hand.
Chen Que and several other doctors said goodbye and left. The guards also retreated. It was getting dark and the candlelight was flickering.
Xu Mu sat quietly for a long time, shook Yu Wen's hand, and slowly fell asleep without realizing it. After an unknown amount of time, he heard footsteps and slowly opened his eyes.
…
"My brother, the world is at peace." Yuan Tao walked in with Gu Ying with a worried look on his face. Gu Ying smiled at him, holding a hand stove in his hand.
"Jia Wenlong pays homage to the lord." Not long after, Jia Zhou also walked in, his gestures were full of the spirit of a schemer.
"Lord, I, Chen Jiaqiao, am here!" Mr. Siwu Chen Jiaqiao, his robes blowing in the wind, "I wrote three anti-poems today, and I will read them to my lord later."
"Sister-in-law, do you still remember me, Li Rucheng!" Li Rucheng, the Marquis of Dingbei, walked in with his hands behind his back and stood beside Yuan Tao.
"Lu Xiu, the Tiger of Dingzhou, please see my lord." Lu Xiu stood at the door with a determined look on his face and clasped his fists.
"Dou Tong, King of Southern Shu, presents the map of Shu State to help my lord enter Shu!"
"Little boss, I, Lian Yong, have been watching you."
"Cao Hong, the commander of Hutang, comes to see my lord."
…
Beside Yu Wen's bed, Xu Mu burst into tears. He stretched out his hand and touched it in front of him. Unfortunately, like a breeze, when he opened his eyes again, there was nothing but emptiness around him.
Those people who withered like the wind, one or two, could never come back to him.
Xu Mu sat silently, as if he had lost his soul. After a long time, he lowered his head and held Yu Wen's hand again.
