Chapter 112 The bloody feud is hard to wash away, and the army goes south to seek life

Chapter 112 The bloody feud is hard to wash away, and the army goes south to seek life (7K chapter, ask for a monthly ticket)

After Gong Yangyi, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and some civil servants left, Xu Shenghua, the commander of the Night Watch Department, began to report some important things that happened recently to Xu Xing.

Xu Shenghua is from the Xu family and Xu Xing's cousin.

Thinking of the subjugation of Cao Wei in his previous life, although Xu Xing was afraid of his relatives interfering in politics, he couldn't let all the talented members of his relatives be left behind.Otherwise, without the support of the royal family, and meeting a young emperor who is not strong in means, this Huahua Jiangshan will give up to usurpers and powerful ministers.

Therefore, Xu Xing distributed part of the power to his relatives in order to consolidate the country.

Of course Xu Xing also has a certain degree of precaution towards his relatives.

For example, although Xu Shenghua was in charge of the Night Watch Division, he also ordered the eunuchs in the palace to set up a second east and west factory to counter the Night Watch Division, so as to achieve a balance...

"Recently there are auspicious signs everywhere..."

"Could it be that these local officials deliberately created fake auspicious omens in order to flatter me. There are white pheasants and white deer in Kansai Road, and there are white dragons in Lingnan..."

After Xu Xing saw Xu Shenghua's report, he frowned.

These memorials look fake at first glance.

How could it be possible... There are so many auspicious signs all over the place suddenly.

It is estimated that after the local officials inquired about Shenjing's news, they knew that he "loved" auspiciousness, so they deliberately fabricated these auspicious events.

After all, the story of immortals and auspicious people coming to congratulate them is too illusory.

In the eyes of the magistrates, it's okay for these auspicious people to deceive the ignorant common people, but it's impossible to deceive them, people with deep city power.

Belong to cleverness and be misunderstood by cleverness!
"It's a mixed bag, though."

After Xu Xing carefully read these memorials, he smiled.

"Why is Your Majesty laughing?"

Xu Shenghua became a fan at the right time.

As the Xu family of the royal family, Xu Shenghua knows some real secrets.His elder brother will go to the fairy gate to seek immortality in a few days, and become that lofty immortal.

The worldly glory and wealth are not worth mentioning to immortals.

The gap between the emperor and his courtiers is still like a moat.What's more, the gap between the emperor and his courtiers cultivating immortality is not comparable to calculation and hard work.

With Xu Xing, the Great Ancestor Immortal, the Xu Family Society Ji Jiangshan is truly as stable as Mount Tai.

"I laugh that the hearts of the people in this world have already belonged to me!"

Xu Xing is self-satisfied.

"Everywhere in the world has repeatedly entered auspiciousness, why?"

"It all depends on the strength of our army and the admiration of the people. As pointed by the sharp sword, those with disobedience will all bow their heads and wait for death. Under the crowd's mouth, those who hide evil intentions only dare to be loyal dogs..."

He looked at the flattery of various ministers from another angle.

It is different from when Emperor Chongming was in court, all the officials deceived him.Siming Mountain Hantong is a new dynasty re-established, and it is a new attack and recovery of the local area.The local officials also mostly use the old officials from the previous dynasty.

At this moment, the former officials playing auspicious signs were not to bully Xu Xing for his ignorance, but to deliberately please Xu Xing.

This is official determination!
Flattery and flattery are different.

Some flattery is fake flattery, it is to bully the emperor and keep him in the deep palace without knowing anything.And some flattery is true, just like the memorials from officials from various places that Xu Xing received at the moment.

"Your Majesty has great insight, I admire you."

Xu Shenghua cupped his hands and praised Xu Xing.

After the chat, Xu Shenghua couldn't help reminding Xu Xing, "Brother, the Son of Heaven calls himself I, and you are the Son of Heaven now, so it's demeaning to call me the Son of Heaven..."

Ordinary courtiers would not dare to slander the emperor in this way without using "I" instead of "I", but Xu Shenghua, as the Xu family, reminded him in private, and he did not violate the taboo.

It is also a kind of disrespect for the emperor to use his own name indiscriminately.

"Fengxi Country is just a small country on the Fengxi River..."

"We're entertaining ourselves in the country. It's okay to be a frog in a well. Your eldest brother, I don't want to lose face and be ridiculed after leaving Fengxi country."

Xu Xing waved his hand, indicating that Xu Shenghua didn't need to persuade him any more.

"The king of a small country should be the minister of a big country." - "Sui Ji".

If Fengxi Country is the whole world, it doesn't matter if he calls himself Zhen.But Fengxi Country is just a small country, not even ranked among Feiyu Immortal Palace.The Baoxiang Kingdom, Liuguang Kingdom and other countries under the Feiyu Immortal Palace are several times larger than the Fengxi Kingdom... .

Calling me at this time is inevitably suspected of Yelang's arrogance.

In addition, he is the founder of the country, no matter how he is called, no matter how dissatisfied the officials are, they have to bear it in their hearts.

The beginning of etiquette is not to be noble or humble.

His throne was won by himself, not inherited by later emperors.One's own prestige, there is no need to use the king's etiquette to improve...

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Hearing this, Xu Shenghua didn't dare to persuade Xu Xing anymore. This was Xu Xing's personal hobby, and he had no right to interfere, so he could only say a word of wisdom to end the topic.

……

Outside the customs, Luzhou.

Zhenbei Wangfu.

"Father..."

"The child in the princess' belly is already six months old, and she will give birth soon. Father, how can you send the princess to the Tartars' Shenglong Mansion as a hostage, begging them to send troops..."

"Even, even... thinking about going south with them to attack the imperial court."

Li Xiaozu, the prince of Zhenbei Wang, rushed into the study with a face full of anger, without even knocking on the door, he slapped the desk, and shouted at Zhenbei Wang Li Liang who was writing.

Last time, Li Liang sent Anren Princess Song Yu to Shenjing without his consent.This time, in order to resist the threat from the court, his father wanted to send away his married wife again.

Even if it is a political marriage.

But again and again..., where should he put his face in this world?

What's more, now Song Yu is pregnant with his flesh and blood, and will give birth soon.

"Xiao Zu..."

"Look, what kind of character is this written for Father?"

The temples were slightly white, and the meticulous King of Zhenbei, Li Liang, was not angry at all. He held the pen in his right hand and finished writing a pair of running script that he had written in silence.After the final stroke of the pen was ticked, he looked at his son with calm eyes, and then pointed to the ink writing on the white paper.

"Character?"

Li Xiaozu was imbued with the calmness of his father Li Liang.Zhenbei King Li Liang is not only the backbone of the palace, but also the white jade pillar that supports tens of thousands of soldiers in Luzhou outside the pass.Without Li Liang's Zhenbei Palace, it is nothing.The iron cavalry outside the pass without Li Liang is just a pile of loose sand. Facing the persecution of the imperial court and the Tartars outside the pass, it is predictable that they will end up miserable.

Before reading the words, a trace of shame flashed in Li Xiaozu's heart.

woman…….

Could he not even bear this humiliation?

"Emperor Tiande's poem?"

Li Xiaozu was surprised when he saw the first sentence of Li Liang's ink words.

But soon he was relieved.

That's right, in just four short years, Emperor Tiande raised his troops to overthrow the imperial court and conquered the world.All men in the world regard Emperor Tiande as a hero.Similarly, as Emperor Tiande became emperor, the anti-poems written by Emperor Tiande in the past also spread, and almost every scholar in the world can sing them.

It is not surprising that his father wrote this poem today.

Right now the situation in the world is clear.

Emperor Tiande's Siming Mountain court occupied the world.

And Li Liang separatist regime in Yanbei.

Tartars in the north are also interested in the chaotic world of flowers and flowers in Guannei.

Although the imperial army has almost won the world, this kind of acquisition has not yet established effective rule.Although there are many imperial troops, they are scattered all over the world. On the contrary, the core elite force of Siming Mountain is less...

"Don't send Princess Anren away..."

"How can the Tartars trust your sincerity?"

Li Liang put down the brush dipped in thick ink, and patted Li Xiaozu on the shoulder, "Xiaozu, if the imperial army comes to attack, dad can just sit back and go to Shenjing to become a rich man, but what about you? You married Princess Anren is bound to be bullied by the dignitaries in Beijing..."

"The princess's beauty is known all over the world. She is also the most beloved daughter of Emperor Song Ming of the previous dynasty."

"Who wouldn't want to kiss Fangze with her..."

In the second half of the sentence, Li Liang didn't say it out of his mouth.

As his father-in-law, it is indeed inappropriate to say such things.But what he said was indeed true, and it was indeed from the heart.

Today, the Li family's soldiers are strong, and they can protect Princess Anren for Li Xiaozu's eldest son.

But if the Li family didn't have these [-] cavalry....

The consequences are unimaginable.

Even if he handed over his military power, he would not lose the reward of becoming a king after entering Shenjing.But there is also a difference between Fengwang and Fengwang, it is not the Fengwang within the Siming Mountain system, and it is not much different from the Anle Gong of the past dynasties, in name only.

"On the contrary, your father and I hold the military power now."

"Even if the princess is sent to Shenglong Mansion, with He Shuoduo's intelligence, he will only treat Princess Anren courteously, and will not treat her harshly."

Li Liang's eyes were deep, and he explained for Li Xiaozu.

"What the father said is certainly reasonable..."

After Li Xiaozu heard Li Liang's high-sounding truth, he tore up all the weakness in his heart just now. He sneered, "Send the princess to Shenjing, and the people of the world will not blame you, father, but will only think that you are a wise man." Generally speaking, if the princess is sent to Shenglong Mansion, the former princess will be humiliated, and your daughter-in-law will be humiliated, even if you enter the customs in the future, if you and I have this stain, how can we convince the people of the world?"

Every word he said made Li Liang's face ugly.

"Father, after all..."

"You are still old."

"There is no confidence to fight."

"Outsiders say that you have a belly like a fox. This is true. But when you get old, you also shrink back. You dare not let go of the power in your hands, and you dare not fight to the death. It is just that you want to keep It’s nothing but a cowardly idea to divide this acre of land. Three legs stand up to each other? I think you are wishful thinking!”

Li Xiaozu has made a lot of military exploits in the army outside the Guan. Although he is a son of a family, he is also full of heroism, with a tiger's back and a waist, he is not an ordinary generation with a life of wine and food.

Otherwise, because Emperor Chongming loves Princess Anren, he would never marry Princess Anren to Li Xiaozu.

After speaking, Li Xiaozu immediately drew out his sword and placed it across his neck, "Father, my son would rather die than suffer another humiliation."

"Sending the princess as a hostage seems to have taken the Tartars as aid, but it has also lost the morale of the army."

"It's better to just go south and rob him of the land of Emperor Tiande. I'm not a prisoner waiting for death, but I'm not willing to be a tartar eagle dog!"

After the words fell, the study fell into a deathly silence.

"Sir?"

"Are you going to force the palace?"

Li Liang looked gloomy, "Fighting on the battlefield is just a reckless act, and the calculation of the temple can decide everything. How can you fight against Emperor Tiande with these soldiers and horses outside the pass alone? There are more than a million soldiers in the whole country!"

"Emperor Tiande is not Emperor Chongming!"

"Don't attract Tartars, the Li family..."

He lamented again and again.

"Before King Xingtian invaded Guanxi Road, there were no more than a dozen generals, and only tens of thousands of troops. Now my Li family has a hundred thousand elites, but it is ridiculous to be a frightened bird."

Li Xiaozu retorted.

"Little boy, do all the crazy words!"

"Come here, come here, suppress this unfilial son and put him in confinement."

Li Liang was trembling with anger.

Even though he and Xu Xing were enemies rather than friends, he had to admit that Emperor Tiande was definitely the most outstanding talent in the world.Although his son is not mediocre, it is difficult to compare with Emperor Tiande.Between the two, the difference is far.

"Father..."

"I implore you again, take it back."

Li Xiaozu's sword lay across his neck, piercing a little deeper.In an instant, blood stained the sword's edge red.As he spoke, blood flowed continuously.

He is as good as a man, and he will never send his wife into the Shenglong Mansion as a hostage.

"You stop me!"

Li Liang scolded angrily, and stepped forward to stop him.

If Li Xiaozu lost his son, what would he do even if he lingered on?No one can inherit the family business of Zhenbei Wangfu.Although he has several sons, the other sons are useless. Only the eldest son who has been with him since he was a child and has been a soldier for half his life can inherit his throne.

however--

The next moment, an accident occurred.

The moment Li Xiaozu approached Li Liang, his eyes showed fierceness, and the long sword hanging around his neck cut straight to Li Liang's head.With one strike of the sword, Li Liang, who was defenseless, immediately took the head.

The head rolled to the ground and turned around a dozen times.

Looking carefully, the dead Li Liang still showed concern for Li Xiaozu on his face.

"Father..."

"You are old, don't blame my minister for being unfilial."

Li Xiaozu took a deep breath, took a piece of white cloth from the desk, wiped off the blood on the sword, then cut off a piece of silk from his lower garment, tied it around his neck, and blocked the wound.

"As the saying goes, a mourning soldier must be defeated!"

"That's why you let the old man enter Shenjing at the beginning. Like a father, like a son. If you dare to be the first grader, the child will dare to be the fifteenth. Send my wife as a hostage..."

"Hehe, even if our Li family really dominates the world one day, how can I be the crown prince with such a stain? Abandoning the establishment is just a matter of your words. With the world, it doesn't matter that I, a son who can conquer and fight well Now, any younger brother can inherit the country..."

He looked at Li Liang's head with both sadness and deep indifference.

"Come on!"

"Pass down the decree of this world."

"Emperor Tiande was ruthless and sent assassins into the palace to assassinate my father and son. To save my son's life, my father was accidentally killed by a thief... This is a bloody blood feud. If I, Li Xiaozu, don't take revenge, As a son of man, if Luzhou soldiers and horses miss my Li family's kindness, they will all wear plain plain clothes and call themselves "Desperate Army", and go south to ask for my father's life!"

Li Xiaozu looked outside the door, half of the family members of the palace were kneeling on the ground with solemn expressions.

Today, he came to force the palace.

If his father, King Li Liang, were willing to go directly south to attack the court, the matter of killing his father would be over.But if his father, King Li Liang, was not willing to do so, then he would not dare to accept the humiliation Li Liang arranged for him again...

"I'll obey!"

The generals were ordered one by one, filed out of the palace, and ran to the barracks to deliver the order.

The death of the old man, the death of Li Liang, the king of Zhenbei, who was assassinated by Emperor Tiande made the iron cavalry outside the pass even more angry.Over the years, the iron cavalry outside the pass have been like the Li family's private army, each of them is extremely loyal to the Li family, and even regards Zhenbei King Li Liang as their reborn parents and a pillar of support.

At this time, King Zhenbei died tragically and was decapitated by a sword.

How can they bear it?
……

Zhenbei Palace, late at night.

Time passed slowly.

"Sir..."

"Left guard general Li Yong is willing to die for the son, and go south to avenge the prince."

"Sir..."

"Lizhou Guard General Zhang De has already raised three thousand tiger divisions and rushed to Luzhou. He is ready to go south to fight with the prince. His soldiers and horses have also been changed into plains, and they have been branded the banner of 'Desiring Army'."

"The whole army of the Wuwei Battalion wears white, and swears to the death to seek justice for the prince."

"..."

The generals who set off in the afternoon returned to the palace one by one, and reported to Li Xiaozu who was kneeling in front of the brazier and burning paper money in the living room.

The result was within Li Xiaozu's expectations.

The Li family has been kind to the iron cavalry outside the pass for many years, and the order is given in the name of revenge. Even if the generals of the iron cavalry outside the pass have two hearts, they dare not go against the minds of the lower ranks...

"The big thing is done!"

Li Xiaozu, who had watched the news all night, was deeply tired. He waited for the generals to leave, got up, rubbed his sore eyebrows, walked a few steps, and then slumped on the straight-backed chair, He took a heavy breath.

at this time.

There was a sound of light footsteps outside the hall.

"Thank you, husband, for speaking up for my concubine..."

Putting on her filial piety again, Auntie Song walked into the living room with a bowl of bird's nest soup. She placed the white porcelain bowl with bird's nest on the tea table where Li Xiaozu was sitting, then gave a slight blessing and thanked Li Xiaozu.

Li Xiaozu's patricide can be hidden from outsiders.

But she couldn't hide it from her wife.

No matter how well done, some clues cannot be hidden.

For example, the property in the mansion has decreased a lot recently, and most of it was stolen by Li Xiaozu.Another example is that most of the family generals in the mansion have become Li Xiaozu's cronies, and the prince Li Liang's cronies have been continuously demoted during this period....

Today, Li Xiaozu rushed into Li Liang's study, declaring to the public that it was also for her wife not to be sent to Shenglong Mansion as a hostage.

Of course, Li Xiaozu's purpose may be mixed with other things.

But... During the past few years of marriage, Li Xiaozu's kindness to her has caught her attention one by one.

"Bitch!"

"You killed my biological father!"

A slap of applause, and Li Xiaozu's scolding, completely awakened Song Yu from her fantasy.She covered her blushing half of her face in a daze, looking at her husband, feeling so strange for the first time.

"If you weren't a royal princess..."

"I will never leave you!"

Li Xiaozu slapped Song Yu again, and after the slap made Song Yu dizzy, he knelt down on the ground, kowtowed several times to the brazier in the hall, and cried loudly: "Father, you are the spirit of heaven... , my son, my son will definitely avenge you..."

Everyone in the world knows that he sought Li Liang's theory because of Princess Anren.

Then at this moment, his disrespect to Princess Anren would directly tear up the "rumors" that he killed his father. Otherwise, how could he go back and murder his biological father as the son of the king of Zhenbei.

"you……"

Aimee Song tightly held the white brocade handkerchief with her right palm half-covered in her narrow sleeve, her red lips were bitten with blood marks.This is the first time she has been so humiliated.

She, the majestic nobleman of heaven, even if she is a princess of subjugation, must not be treated like this.

"Father..."

"Why did you marry me into the jackal den of the Li family?"

She looked up at Ziwei with tears in her eyes.

……

The news of the cavalry rebellion outside the pass quickly spread to Shenjing.

Along with it, there are also rumors that Li Xiaozu's ancestors conquered five cities in one day.

For a time, people in Shenjing City were panicked.

Although the people and gentry in Shenjing City believed that Emperor Tiande had a destiny, and saw the unicorns, phoenixes, and pythons one by one that day, but the army was overwhelming, and if there was a slight mistake, it was easy to suffer from military disasters.

The last time when Emperor Tiande was Xingtian King, he attacked Shenjing, which was considered benevolent and did not allow his soldiers to burn, kill and loot too much.During those chaotic days, tens of thousands of Shenjing people and soldiers defending the city were killed or injured, and almost every family wore mourning.

Today, Li Xiaozu's begging army went south, breaking through the five cities that the imperial court strictly defended and deepening the camp, it can be said that the army is at a disadvantage.Such soldiers and horses are much stronger than the former Siming Mountain Rebel Army.

Although the Siming Mountain Rebels fought many tough battles along the way.

But at the end, with righteousness, the generals who defended the city almost automatically opened the checkpoint to welcome Xingtian Wang's righteous army...

And Li Xiaozu's begging army has been fighting tough battles for the past few days!

Of the five cities, none of them surrendered without a fight.

After all, the past is different from the present.

At present, there is a scene of great governance.

"Desperate Army..."

"This Li Xiaozu is interesting, you want me to kill you?"

On the side hall of the Ziwei Palace, Xu Xing took a look at the battle report, and pretended to be disdainful, "At one stroke, it will decline again, and then it will be exhausted. Although the mourning soldiers can show off their prestige for a while, but in the long run, they will definitely lose!"

"I will tell you that the rest of the cities will only prepare food and grass for five days, let him attack the city, and not fight head-on with his begging army. Remember, the guard must stick to it and not slack off! If you defend the city, I will reward you a lot. Conferring the title of Marquis and King..., just wait for him to run out of food and grass, no matter how lonely and brave he is, he can only wait for his death."

Xu Xing is very clear.

What kind of monster is the iron cavalry raised outside the pass by the Jiayou and Chongming dynasties?When it comes to elite soldiers and horses, no army in Fengxi Country can defeat them.Even if there are, they are only a small number of elites, and it is difficult to deal with such a large-scale corps of foreign cavalry.

but--

No matter how powerful the elite is, it is not impossible to deal with it.

Just wait for work.

The northern border is already exhausted, and there is not much food and grass, as long as Siming Mountain is strong and clear, and the city is firmly guarded.After a long time, the begging army will be unsustainable.At that time, it will be the harvest time of Siming Mountain.

"Your Majesty's good plan..."

Chief Assistant Gong Yangyi praised him, and he added to Xu Xingzhi's policy: "This time Li Xiaozu went south to avenge his father. He said that we sent assassins to assassinate his father. Your Majesty can send imperial envoys to reprimand Li Xiaozu's lies in public. .Of course, this can only be done after we gain the upper hand..."

"The iron cavalry outside the pass looks like a monolith, but in fact, there are many army leaders. Li Xiaozu is just a son. Although he has been fighting abroad for many years, he does not have the prestige of King Zhenbei. A lot of discord."

"Your Majesty can also issue a decree to seal the adopted sons of King Zhenbei as kings."

"Let them bite each other..."

Wang Jue is certainly different from Wang Jue.

But the emperor's decree is not a joke. Once the adopted sons of King Zhenbei are granted titles, they will be recognized by the court.

And with the righteous sons of Zhenbei Wang after Wang Jue, they will have righteousness and be able to stand against Li Xiaozu.

As for... rebelling against the imperial court.

The big deal is to admit his mistake in the memorial and say that he was provoked by Li Xiaozu, so he listened to the lie and went to the court to avenge his foster father.

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be both, and they are also for filial piety!

"Mr. Gongyang's strategy is the same as before."

Xu Xing nodded slightly, and he nodded and said: "The king of Zhenbei was assassinated, and I couldn't hold back my tears... I sigh that there is one less hero in the world since then. Although the son Li Xiaozu sent troops to attack the court, he was bewitched by a woman. In order to save his life and not lose his love for his father, I allow him to inherit the kingship of Zhenbei..."

"Order the son to follow the example of the ancestors and hand over the seduced woman, and I will forgive her the crime of immortality!"

"The adopted son Li Yong has served under the King of Zhenbei for many years, and he has made many achievements... He can be named King of Luzhou."

"The righteous son Li Dan, in..., can be named the king of Xiaozhou."

"step-son……"

He rewarded all the sons of King Zhenbei one by one.

With the decree of the imperial court, the territory left by King Zhenbei became the common property of this group of begging army generals.At the same time, he issued an order to target Princess Anren, saying that Princess Anren was the bewitching woman who instigated the prince of Zhenbei to go south to beg for his life...

If you do this, once the commanding army is blocked, these army leaders will definitely have the thought of retreating.And there was only one price they paid for their retreat, hand over Princess Anren or kill Princess Anren and it would be over.

Princess Anren is Li Xiaozu's wife, but not theirs, so they don't have any psychological burden.

War is not only a decisive battle on the battlefield, but also a decisive battle in politics.

Sometimes a political step is enough to beat a million soldiers.

As for him calling himself Zhen at this moment, it is because he is declaring an edict at this moment, and he is speaking in written words.Normally, he would not deliberately call himself "Zhen".

"Your Majesty Shengming..."

Hearing this imperial decree, the generals felt relieved a lot.

Emperor Tiande's imperial decree used Yangmou.

As long as they can stop the begging army for a while, the begging army behind will be slaughtered by them.

"In addition, we must guard against the Tartars knocking at the gate..."

"Mr. Gongyang, order the various parties in the south to select good soldiers to prepare for the Tartars."

Xu Xing ordered again.

This time the begging army went south, the Siming Mountain court not only had to guard against the elite of the previous dynasty, but also guarded against the Tartars outside the customs who had been resisted by the begging army for many years.This group of Tartars are not good stubblers. Seeing that the defense force outside the pass is empty, they will definitely take the opportunity to go south to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"The minister obeys the order."

Gongyangyi nodded and accepted the order.

He is the chief assistant of the cabinet. When the emperor gives an order, their cabinet has to discuss a suitable charter, send it to the emperor for approval, and then issue the charter to all ministries for implementation.

In short, Xu Xingxia's will is not perfect and needs to be discussed by the cabinet.

For example, this time, in the selection of good soldiers in various provinces in the south, how many should be selected, so as not to hurt the vitality of the local area, and not to arouse public resentment, every step must be carefully calculated, and it must not be sloppy.

 The update ends today in case.
