Chapter 19: Zhao Kuangzan goes north

After contact, Liu Chengyou found that Hou Yi, an old man, was really smart. There is no arrogance of ordinary martial artists, or maybe it is restrained in front of Liu Chengyou.

is also clever and eloquent, the felony of collaborating with the enemy and treason, during the conversation, he inadvertently downplayed it into a thoughtful mistake, and by the way, Liu Chengyou's gaze was diverted, and Li Shouzhen was taken out to resist the injury. In addition, he also took the initiative to ask for help, willing to go into battle, and lead the army to recruit for the Son of Heaven and the imperial court to make up for his mistakes......

If you want to be obedient and ask for forgiveness, you have achieved the ultimate in thought and behavior, from beginning to end, Hou Yi's posture is extremely low, so low that Liu Chengyou is embarrassed to kill him even if he wants to.

What's more, Liu Chengyou really didn't mean to kill him, and Hou Yi also saw this, otherwise, how could you be exempt from the crime if you let your tongue shine with a lotus? After some conversation, Liu Chengyou even lost his mind about punishment.

Such an old fritter, knowing the current affairs, knowing the advance and retreat, is good at self-preservation, even if he has a second mind, the threat to the dynasty is definitely not big, especially after this lesson.

Not only did he not kill him, but he also decided to forgive and comfort him, and made him the prince and the prince and Lu Guogong, and kept him in Tokyo for consultation.

This old man really has some knowledge, Liu Chengyou asked him how the court pacified Li Shouzhen, and directly said, there is no rebellion in the river, the court does not move, the time is not in the thief, the longer it drags on, the more fully prepared the court is, the easier it will be to quell the rebellion in the future, and even surrender without a fight.

Li in the river is completely different from the previous situation of Wei Bodu. Even, the imperial court can appease the grace system to confuse Li Shouzhen.

After some arguments, Liu Chengyou won the heart, so he did not follow the original plan and let him go to Luoyang to retire.

......

In the northeast of Kaifeng, on the official road leading to Fengqiu, a team of more than 200 people drove northward without hurrying. Under the banner, the word "Zhao" is written. This is with Zhao Kuangzan north to Youzhou team, to Tokyo, the first time was summoned by Liu Chengyou, after a "heart-to-heart" exchange, in addition to the previous position, Liu Chengyou also when the court to add him as a lieutenant, as the prince of Yan. On the second day, he was released back to the north.

"Shizi, this Han Emperor let us go to Youzhou so easily?" Zhao Siwan rode his mount, approached Zhao Kuangzan's side, squinted at the two officials of the Ministry of Rites in the accompanying team, and asked in a low voice.

"Or else?" Zhao Kuangzan's handsome face was very calm, and he asked lightly.

Under the warm sunshine, he looks even more handsome, this person is a little more handsome than Liu Chengyou.

Zhao Siwan said: "The king has troops in the north, and the last general originally thought that the imperial court summoned you to Tokyo to take you as a hostage. ”

"You're a villain!" Zhao Kuangzan glanced at Zhao Siwan, scolded with a smile, and then said thoughtfully: "This son of the Han family, although he is young, looks like a productive figure. Succeeding to the throne at a young age, compared to the former Tang and Tang Emperors, it is much more powerful. If there is no accident, this Han Dynasty should be able to enjoy some national honors. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Siwan was a little surprised and expressed doubts: "This young man is really so powerful?" ”

"Isn't it powerful, can you suppress the old generals in Tokyo? Can you break the Liao Emperor with a widowed army? Zhao Kuangzan said.

Looking at the vicious scar on Zhao Siwan's face, Zhao Kuangzan said again: "You also have to thank the Son of Heaven for his benevolence, fortunately your head is still on your neck!" ”

"What do you mean?" Zhao Siwan was a little puzzled.

Zhao Kuangzan explained to him: "I didn't hear anyone say until after I met the Son of Heaven, that Wang Jun went to the court and said that although you Zhao Sijuan are brave, you are fierce and cruel, wolf and unkind, and if you don't take precautions, there will be chaos in the next day." I suggest that the court kill you in case of trouble......"

"That thief Wang Jun, he is so narrow-minded, he uses a cold arrow behind his back, and he wants to assassinate me!" Hearing this, Zhao Siwan broke out directly, pointed to the west and scolded: "If there is a chance on another day, I must have killed him!" ”

"I've reminded you many times that your temper has to be restrained!" Zhao Kuangzan taught Zhao Siwan a lesson: "That Wang Jun is an important minister of the Han court, trusted by the Son of Heaven, and this time he defeated the Shu army and made great contributions. He reported that he wanted to kill a little tooth general of you, if it weren't for the Son of Heaven's discernment, do you think the court would be stingy to use your head to appease Wang Jun? ”

"Without our desperate charge and leading the way to break through Shu Village, can he Wang Jun build this feat? He was lucky not to be defeated and died! That horseman, what a villain! Zhao Siwan still couldn't help but scold.

"But this son of heaven is really good, he is a reasonable person, and he has not been bewitched by his slanderous words......" Saying that, Zhao Siwan actually praised Liu Chengyou.

"However, when we return to Youzhou, King Yan embraces himself, even the Son of Heaven, and he can't help us!"

Listening to his rampant words, Zhao Kuangzan frowned, looking at the north from afar, uncertain. After a long time, he suddenly said: "Do you think that when you arrive in Youzhou, you will be free?" Youzhou is now a quagmire, and the situation is not optimistic at all. Emperor Han put my father and son in Youyan, just to use Yan people as a barrier, to resist the Khitans for him, and to relieve the pressure on the northern frontier! ”

Zhao Kuangzan's mind is very sober.

"The Admiral knows this. Since the Son of Heaven needs to rely on the king and the son, he will not dare to be humiliated and oppressed. Otherwise, we can cooperate with the Khitans. Zhao Siwan said very "smartly".

Zhao Kuangzan secretly scolded the contemptible husband and reprimanded: "You can think of it, the Son of Heaven and the court can't think of it?" ”

Zhao Siwan was slightly stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhao Kuangzan simply explained the situation of "Youzhou Tuhu" and "Divisive Rumors" from Zhao Yanshou's secret letter.

Hearing this, Zhao Siwan gasped, blinked his eyes, and sighed: "I, Zhao, admit that I am fierce, but I didn't expect this son to be ruthless and poisonous!" Isn't this forcing King Yan and Khitan to fight endlessly? ”

If you didn't know Zhao Siwan's temperament, Zhao Kuangzan really wanted to insult him, and you deserve to be compared with Emperor Han?

"Why do you think the Son of Heaven simply let me go north?"

"Isn't it because the king misses his son?" Zhao Siwan said the situation on the surface.

Zhao Kuangzan sighed heavily: "My father is seriously ill!" The Son of Heaven can't find someone who can replace my father to guard Youyan for him, for fear that my father will have an accident, and Youyan's situation will collapse, and the Khitans will take advantage of it and ruin his plan! ”

"Otherwise, the city government of the Emperor of Han Dynasty will treat me so favorably, directly crown me as the prince of Yanwang, and let me go north so happily? Not yet, I want to use my stepfather's position to guard Youyan for him. ”

"I'm not proud. With the situation in Youzhou at this time, it is difficult to find a person other than me who can coordinate all parties and maintain the stability of the situation despite my father's illness......"

After listening to Zhao Kuangzan's description, Zhao Siwan's mind couldn't turn for a while, and after a long time, he sighed: "This Han Tianzi is so insidious? ”

"I don't know what happened to my father's condition?" Zhao Kuangzan was immersed in his own thoughts.

Glancing at the marching procession, he immediately commanded, "It's too slow!" Pass the order, speed up, and go straight to Youzhou! ”

The state is not good, this chapter, it is difficult to describe in one word......
