I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 64 The Fox and the Dog

After Tuoba Chide heard this, he didn't speak for a long time, and finally heaved a sigh.

"I understand Guoxiang, you are right, I should know my son best, old Guoxiang, I have one more thing."

Lun Zan said: "Majesty, please tell me."

Tuoba Chide said: "Mihong from Liuzhi Township is dead, and brothers Ximolang and Ximoming are also dead. The only generals we can fight in Qingtang are Manglong Zhibu and Guizhang, so I want to invite the old Prime Minister to fight again. Command the troops and serve as the commander of the North Academy."

Lun Zanpo heard it but shook his head and refused: "Majesty, I am already old and cannot take on such an important task."

The commander of the North Academy, manages many tribes in the northern part of the Qingtang Kingdom, and is responsible for the battle against the Jin Dynasty on the northern front.

Lun Zanpo once held this position during the reign of the first maharaja, that is, as the commander of the North Academy, he led the army to defeat the Jin army several times.Among them was Fu Xun, the No.1 general of the Jin Dynasty at that time.

Because of this, he has a very high prestige, and is called the "Military God of Qingtang" by various tribes.

But after Tuoba Chide became the maharajah, he was appointed as the prime minister of the country.

Although he has been acting cautiously for so many years, Lun Zanpo knows that the majesty is always worried about him.After all, it has a very high prestige.

So for so many years, he has almost never participated in any specific military and political affairs, and only when Tuoba Chide asked him would he say a few words that would not offend anyone.

Now that Tuoba Chide told him that he wanted to let him return to the position of the commander of the North Academy, which was the position where he had made great achievements before, he was of course vigilant and regarded this as a temptation.

And Tuoba Chide this time, is really not a test.

At present, among the ministries of the Qingtang Dynasty, the situation is chaotic.

The Maharaja is sick in bed, and the candidate for the crown prince has not yet been determined. Several powerful families such as the Noribu, Rendobu, and Yuzangbu are waiting and watching.

And within the royal family, because there is also an undercurrent among the princes, if there is any trouble, it will trigger a fire.

The area in the royal city is now controlled by Wanhu in the central part of Qingyi Jieguizhang's department, so the Maharaja can rest assured.

However, the turmoil caused by the defeat in the northern region continues.

After the theory was broken, the post of North Academy Commander was not conferred and remained vacant.And now that Tuoba Chide had a big problem with his body, he finally felt that he needed to go out of the mountain to frighten everyone.

Tuoba Chide also considered for a long time before making such a decision.

First of all, Zanpo has high prestige. Once he is given real power, it will be a deterrent to those big tribes.

The second is the tribe of Lun Zanpo, which is weak, with only a few thousand accountants, and the threat to the royal family and the maharaja is far lower than those big tribes.Because his power comes from the maharaja and royal family.

As for the aristocratic chieftains of the wealthy families, their power comes from their own tribes.

When Tuoba Chide is in good health, he can completely frighten the tribes and rule the Quartet.But now the current situation is indeed chaotic, and it is necessary for this "Qingtang Military God" to come out again.

Finally, under Tuoba Chide's sincere plea, Lun Zanpo also saw that the majesty did not want to try, so he reluctantly agreed.

He also proposed that once the Maharaja's health recovered, he would immediately resign.

Tuoba Chide couldn't help smiling wryly, and recovered.
Lun Zanpo made an agreement with the majesty to set off for Nieduo City in the north of Qingtang three days later to sit in town, and then he said goodbye and left.

After Lun Zanpo left, Guizhang came in to take care of the Maharaja.

"Ghost chapter."

"Majesty, I am here."

Looking at Qingyijieguizhang's heroic face, Tuoba Chide couldn't help nodding.

Guizhang was selected by him, and he was also allowed to take up the dangerous position of Wanhu in the central part, which was previously held by the Tuoba family of the royal family.

"Gui Zhang, can my son inherit the position of Maharaja?"

When Gui Zhang heard this, he was stunned, and then shook his head, "Majesty, this kind of thing is not something I can say."

Tuoba Chide sighed, then nodded.

"Tell Tuoba Seventeen to see what my sons are doing. You also go to the barracks to see if there is any trouble, go."

Qingyi knotted a ghost chapter to help Tuoba Chide lie down again, and then ordered the waiters and guards to take care of him carefully.Then went straight to a courtyard in Hongshan Palace.

Here I met Nu Yalang's chief dental official, Tuoba Shiqi.

Tuoba Shiqi looks very inconspicuous, just like an ordinary Qingtang man, there is nothing special about him.About thirty years old, with a short beard and traditional Qingtang braided hair.

He was born in the royal family, a trusted confidant of the Maharaja, and he acted decisively and ruthlessly. He was always feared by the nobles of the Qing Dynasty.

Everyone in Qingtang knew that it was a dog that didn't bark very much, but bit people very hard, just like the mastiffs that Tuoba Shiqi raised himself.

He is therefore also known as the "Mastiff of Qingtang".

With Qingyi, Guizhang, Ximoming, and Yuzang Huama, they are called "Four Heroes".

Nori Gongro, the former patriarch of the Noribe, was captured by him with dozens of slaves.You must know that Nori Gonglu would bring at least hundreds of guards with him every time he traveled.

Whether it is the Qingtang royal family or the noble chiefs of various tribes, they all hate the mention of Tuoba Shiqi, but there is nothing they can do about him.

"Our Fox of the Qingtang Dynasty, why come here when you have time." Tuoba Shiqi was summarizing the information sent by his subordinates, and when he saw Qingyijie Guizhang coming, he enthusiastically invited him to sit down.

"The majesty wants you to see what the princes are doing."

Gui Zhang came to sit down on the round stool next to Tuoba Qi, and then directly explained the purpose of coming.

Tuoba Shiqi put down the pen in his hand, and then took out several volumes of documents, "These are the records of the eldest prince, the second prince, and the sixth prince, and they have been recorded. The other princes are sorting out, and I will send someone over later. "

It's not surprising to see the ghost badge at this scene, "The majesty asked me to go back to the barracks to sit in charge, and I will leave the Hongshan Palace to you."

Tuoba Shiqi nodded, looking harmless to humans and animals, "Don't worry here in Hongshan Palace, these puppies under my command have very sharp noses, if there is any trouble, I will find someone to notify you immediately, Tie Wei Geril died in battle over there, we must quickly choose a new iron guard commander."

Gui Zhang said: "The Majesty's meaning is clear, but in this special period, let you take care of the Tiewei first."

Tuoba Qishi said: "Tiewei's gang, all of them have their chins pointed at the sky, and they clashed with Nu Yalang. I will take care of them, and there will be trouble."

Qingyi knotted ghosts and knew that what the other party said was the truth, the two elite guards under the majesty.

The iron guards are all the noble children of the noble clans of various tribes, and they are nominally under the jurisdiction of Wanhu in the central region, but they travel with the Maharaja every day, advance and retreat together, and are the Majesty's personal guards, and they are all proud.

And Nuyalang are mostly slaves of humble origins, who have undergone strict training since they were young. Although all of them have outstanding skills, they do dirty work. Due to their background, they are looked down upon by the iron guards, and they also look down on the domineering iron guards. .

The two teams look down on each other.Although it can't be said that the situation is the same as fire and water, but it is definitely indispensable to fight openly and secretly in private.

It is indeed easy to cause conflicts if Nu Yalang's head of the dental officer is also in charge of the iron guard.At this moment, something is really wrong.

Qingyi Knotted Guizhang's hand tapped his forehead a few times, and then said: "Then I will report to the majesty later, and choose a new person, and you will supervise it for a few days."

Tuoba Shiqi thought for a while, and knew that the current situation was really special, so he nodded in agreement.

The two cronies of the current Maharaja are trying their best to maintain the chaotic situation caused by the Maharaja's defeat and serious illness.

In a camp near the Luoxie River outside the Qingtang King City, a young nobleman from Qingtang was walking in the tent, playing with a divine arm crossbow made in the Jin Kingdom.

"It's a good thing, it's really a good thing, Qingtang's craftsmen can't make such a good thing."

This young nobleman was wearing a not-so-gorgeous leather robe. He was eight feet tall, majestic and muscular. He looked about 20 years old, with a handsome face and an agate band on his forehead that only represented the identity of the royal family.

Holding the god arm crossbow from Hexi Workshop in Jin State in his hand, he was full of praise.Because the bows and crossbows produced by Qingtang people are too weak.

"Your Highness Sixth Prince, these are twenty divine arm crossbows, and the cost alone is more than ten sticks. I worked hard to bring him here from Hexi, and I only charge you eighty crossbows. Do you think it's reasonable?"

"It's reasonable and fair. Let's settle in silver."

The young Qingtang nobleman was the sixth prince, Tuobajian, and the opposite was a Hu merchant. From his appearance, he was a Hu from the Western Regions, with a big beard, and his name was Husi.

But Tuoba Qian knew that this person was definitely not a Hu merchant, he could get twenty god arm crossbows and bring them out from the territory of the Jin army, he must be a hidden stake in the Hexi Jiedu Mansion.

Otherwise, with such a rigorous investigation by the Jin army, can the god arm crossbow be obtained from Liangzhou City?dream.

Of course, it is impossible to resell it from the Jin army, because no Jin army would dare to sell such a sharp weapon.The loss of such an important ordnance is a felony, enough to beheaded directly, and he has just seen that there are no numbers on these divine arm crossbows.

Maybe it was specially prepared for myself.

But it's no big deal even if the other party is the hidden stake of the Jin State, he doesn't care about these things, even if Qingtang was defeated by the Jin State just now.

He is not Qingtang Dajun yet, so he doesn't need to feel guilty about his defeat.

"By the way, Mr. Garhus, you have been to Liangzhou often, so have you met General Fu Jinchuan of Jin State?"

Tuoba Jian suddenly asked.

Garhus froze for a moment, then thought for a while and said, "I've seen it a few times in the city."

Tuoba Jian said: "Then, what kind of person is he?"

"I've only seen him from a distance a few times. That young General Fu is handsome and tall. He looks even taller when he rides on a tall horse. His followers also look very strong."

Garhus seemed to recall seriously, but did not reveal any effective information.

After hearing this, Tuoba Qian was a little disappointed, but still nodded and said: "I really hope to have the opportunity to compete with that General Fu. He is obviously the same age as me, but he is already famous all over the world."

Gahusi said: "Your Highness, the prince, is wise and mighty. Maybe you will have a chance when you become a maharajah in the future."

Tuoba Qian smiled when he heard "Maharaja", but didn't say anything after shaking his head.

However, Garhus, who was a hidden stake in the Jin Kingdom, was a little worried. He didn't know what the people in the Jiefu thought.

Why would he secretly support such an ambitious young man.

In his opinion, Tuoba Jian was ambitious and capable, and he was a very tolerant young man.It's just because of his humble background that he is inconspicuous among the princes.

Garhus believed that once his superior had seen Tuobajian's eyes, he would understand that once such a person became Qingtang Maharaja, he might be a confidant of the Great Jin.

Although he was tolerant enough, the ambition and desire for power could not be hidden in those eyes at all.

Burning hot, red hot.
