Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 59: The culprit dies

Thank you book friends for the reward again in the dream!

The door to the side hall of the lower palace was wide open, and there was a torrential rain outside the hall. The strong wind rolled up the curtain inside the hall, and the bronze lampstand was also swaying.

A serpentine lightning pierced the night sky, illuminating the faces of the father and son who were facing each other at the entrance of the main hall.

On one side was Zhao Yang, who was full of anger, dressed in military uniform and holding a long sword in his hand.

On the other side was Zhao Wuxi, who was soaked all over, and the rainwater slid down his dark hair to his chin, and then kept dripping on the ground.

Seeing that the person who came was a young boy whom he hadn't seen for a few days, Zhao Yang slightly loosened his grip on the hilt of the sword: "I didn't expect that the first person to come was Ru boy, can the soldiers of Chengyi be assembled?"

Zhao Wuxi's thoughts turned around. On the steps just now, he had already heard his sister Ji Ying briefly describe the drastic changes at the Great Court Meeting on the Winter Solstice: that gentle and elegant Song Dynasty gentleman, Le Qi, was actually arrested by the monarch.

This is something that Zhao Wuxi never expected. After all, he is just a historical fancier. This incident may have happened in the original history, but he has no impression at all. Probably, it was just a simple note in an inconspicuous corner of the history book...

Zhao Wuxi's first impression of Le Qi was good. On the day he left the lower palace, Le Qi sent a close friend to see him off as a gift. In addition to sympathizing with the innocent Song people, he hardened his heart. He only knew that the Zhao family must not start a war in advance because of this!

He lowered his head and said, "The poem says: Wang Shiwei (gǔ) is nowhere to be found. There are two hundred main soldiers in Chengyi, and the more soldiers have already swarmed their horses. As long as my father gives an order, they can come to the lower palace to meet..."

"Okay! As soon as your three brothers arrive, you can swear and set off..." Zhao Yang raised his foot, and was about to continue walking out, but seeing Wu Xie refusing to give in an inch, he stopped him just like that.

Zhao Yang said angrily, "What are you doing!"

"I don't dare to disobey, but my son came overnight, but he has something to say... If my father steps out of this hall today, I will become two hundred strongmen, thousands of people from the country, and even the Zhao family. I am afraid that the century-old foundation will be destroyed in this battle!"

Swish!

The long sword was unsheathed, and Zhao Yang, who was irritated by Wu Xie's words, drew his sword and pointed at Wu Xie's eyebrows.

He reprimanded: "thief! What do you know, you scoundrel? Don't disturb our army!"

"Get out of the way quickly, if it's Zhao's son, go to the school grounds with your father! If you are greedy for life and fear death, go back to your territory!"

At the end of the speech, the thunder after the lightning rang out, but Zhao Wuxi remained motionless.

Facing Jian Feng, he held his head up and said, "Wu Xie is not afraid of death, but I don't want to die in an unclear manner and die under conspiracy calculations! Dare you ask, who is Zhao's enemy?"

"Is it the Fan clan, the Zhongxing clan? Or should I add the Zhi clan, the Wei clan, or even the monarch!"

In those words, Zhao Yang was silent, and put down his sword a little.

"Today I only look for the crimes of Fan Yang and Zhong Xingyin..."

"Father! Fan Yang is a general in the Chinese army. Sending troops to attack a country to govern is equivalent to chaos, and it will affect the whole body. Father, did you forget that Luan Ying didn't just want to find the crime of the Fan family, but he committed Out of anger, was the whole country under siege!"

Zhao Yang pondered, Luan Ying, decades ago, this was a name that struck a chord.

Although he had not yet been born at that time, he had never seen this person, but he heard his father Zhao Jingzi sigh more than once: Luan Ying is a hero who can combine almost all the young men and doctors in Jin. If Luan Ying was still alive, Where is the position of Liu Qing in the Jin state, and where is the Zhao family?

More than 40 years ago, Luan Ying was murdered by the Fan family during the family struggle and was expelled from the country. Afterwards, with the help of Duke Zhuang of Qi, he lurked back to Jin State, conspired with Wei Shu of the Wei family, and set off a massive act of righteousness in Xinjiang. The target was directed at the ruling Fan Xuanzi at that time, and the son of Fan Xuanzi. Fan Yang!

However, this attack was diverted by the clever Fan Xuanzi. The father and son of the Fan family took Jin Pinggong hostage and used him as a shield to turn the battle between Fan and Luan into Luan Ying's attack on the monarch. As a result, other ministers who were originally neutral, and even the people of Xinjiang took up arms to help Fan fight against Luan Ying, which led to Luan Ying's failure to succeed and finally trapped in Quwo City.

And if Zhao Yang sent troops to attack Fan's private town today, maybe he would have rammed into Fan's trap just like Luan Ying.

The first culprit dies, this is the most deterrent rule for the various imperial clans in Jin State.

Perhaps, this was originally the old jackal Fan Yang's serial plan: first show weakness and let Zhao Yang take over the diplomacy with Song, and then find an excuse to detain Song's envoy, humiliate Zhao Yang, and make him lose his prestige. If Zhao Yang sent troops to attack in a fit of anger, he would become the "first culprit", and the Fan family could mobilize the ministers and the people of the country to attack and destroy the Zhao family...

What's more, if the Zhao family is the first to attack, then even the most intimate Han family may not be on the Zhao family's side. Although Han Buxin verbally agreed, who knows whether he will accompany Zhao's family to the danger? Didn't Wei Shu, who was the closest to the Luan family back then, betrayed Luan Ying at the last moment?

In that case, in the short term, Zhao Bing, who can only gather two divisions in the lower palace, how can they fight against tens of thousands of enemies?

Even if the war spreads to the entire Jin Kingdom, although the Zhao clan is the most powerful minister in name, Zhao Yang can only control five counties. Can the rest of the world really obey orders? Especially Handan, which is very close to the Bank of China...

Isn't his purpose of integrating the territory just to prepare for war? But as soon as this matter had a little brow, the flames of war rashly ignited. Isn't it self-defeating?

Having figured this out, Zhao Yang couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. He seemed to see Fan Yang's sneer when he learned that Zhao's conspiracy had succeeded.

With another swoosh, the long sword in Zhao Yang's hand was retracted into its sheath.

Zhao Wuxi noticed the change in Zhao Yang's mind, and secretly managed to persuade this ill-tempered cheap old man, he continued to say:

"Those who can endure humiliation and heavy burdens can achieve great things. The boy heard that Duke Wen of Jin was expelled from the country. After nineteen years, he returned, and Chengpu defeated the hegemony in the first battle. King Zhuang of Chu was overthrown by Dou clan, and he did not speak for three years. Winning the Central Plains! The boy believes that the battle of the six emperors is not an overnight, but a century-long confrontation. Zhao has suffered a loss this time, and he will have the opportunity to retaliate ten times and a hundred times in the future. At that time, his son will definitely accompany him. By my father's side, I will never give up!"

"But this time, the odds of winning are really low."

Zhao Yang's tone has been very shaken, but there is one thing he can't let go: "You are right, but Lebo has been imprisoned by the monarch, without the approval of the old thief Fan Yang, I am afraid he will not be released and return to China...

Zhao Yang is a person who attaches great importance to friendship. He feels very guilty for dragging down Le Qi.

At this moment, I saw Yin Duo, a retainer of the Zhao family, Fu Sou, holding an umbrella, stroking his wide robe and sleeves, and hurriedly running over the standing water on the ground, shouting while running, "Please, Lord. Think twice, you can't send troops!"

When Zhao Yang saw Yin Duo, the head of the house with a goatee, he felt very regretful. Half a month ago, Yin Duo had persuaded him about privately welcoming the envoy of Song, and also asked to donate the white moose he obtained to the Marquis of Jin, so as to show the position of Zhao's respected office, but he scoffed at this, which led to today's misfortune.

When Yin Duo and Fu Sou heard that the Zhao clan had assembled their troops, they hurried over and were planning to persuade them again.

However, Zhao Yang waved his hand and said: "Two teachers and Fu don't need to say, my son has already taken advantage of me, and today's event ~www.wuxiahere.com~ is my impulse, and the two of you will treat it as never happened. Let's go. I'll let Ziliang disperse the soldiers. We just need to strengthen our vigilance. The two of you will also send someone to inform Han, Wei, Zhi and other families, saying that the Zhao family has no intention of harming people, only to guard against others. Heart."

When Yin Duo and Fu Sou heard the words, they were naturally overjoyed. Although they didn't know what happened just now, they were once again impressed by Zhao Wuxi, who played a key role.

Seeing that the big event was over, Zhao Wuxi was ready to take a walk. He was going to tell his sister the news so that she wouldn't have to worry. By the way, he changed his wet armor and took a hot shower comfortably.

After arranging all the affairs, Zhao Yang said regretfully, "Bo Lebo should not have any worries about his life. So far, the use of force is indeed the last resort, and he can only be saved slowly."

However, he glared at Zhao Wuxi again and pointed at him: "You kid, go away, you should also participate in the rescue of Le Bo."

Zhao Wuxi was dumbfounded, what does it have to do with me?

"This, I don't have the position, I don't plan for the government, all the sage doctors can contribute. The boy is still young, and he is already in a hurry just to manage the city..."

His face was pale, and he tried to pretend to be pitiful, "I'm still a child."

But Zhao Yang didn't let him go. He showed a playful smile for the first time today: "If you have to shirk it, you can't get rid of it. Le Bo is your husband-in-law, so you're not in a hurry?"

"Yue Zhang?" This time, it was Zhao Wuxi's turn to be dumbfounded. What's the situation!
