Fu Nian sat in the carriage back to the house, holding the fold handed to him by Li Jun in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what about the great master, the king today is not the kind of person who looks at the name, the most important thing for the king today is reality, Confucianism is considered to have hit the muzzle of the gun this time, and it has also affected himself, this time is actually a test for himself by the king, if he was covering Confucianism at that time, then the prince will not come out to apprentice.

After returning home, Fu Nian re-copied these recitals, and then asked Lu Xing to give them to Dong Zhong and others, and also brought a sentence: "When I return, I don't have to celebrate, just restrain my own people." ”

The next day, Fu Nian published an article in the Datang Daily, saying that there was nothing to say about the level of the great master, and quoted scriptures to refute the views of some people who wanted to change the imperial examination model.

After Yang Xiong saw this article, he smiled and said to the left and right: "Fu Nian has this awareness, and I will hand over the post of secretary of the school to him, and I ......will not worry about it."

At this time, in Shu, Gao Qiang finally surrounded Shuzhou, Shuzhou was in chaos, Gao Qiang made more sheng flags according to the plan, and 5,000 people made a battle of 50,000 people, which made the lord of Shu panic.

The lord of Shuzhou is not very old, only about thirty years old, but his face is pale, his face is blue, and he looks like he is overindulged, in fact, this year is a good year for Li Jiang, the lord of Shu, because Li Jiang, who has been childless, finally got a son, although the child was born prematurely, but it is also very healthy.

At this moment, the evil Tang army came, and General Li looked at his big fat son and made an oath: "I will never surrender this time." ”

For this reason, Li Yuan was not persuaded no matter how much he persuaded him.

Shu is different from the other two countries, Shu was originally a Central Plains vassal state, during the Warring States Period, Sima mistakenly destroyed Shu, some remnants of Shu fled here, when Xiang Yu established the Great Chu, the ancestors of Shu also participated in the rebellion against the Qin Dynasty, so he was re-named the king of Shu, until the fall of the Great Chu, Shu saw the wind and threw himself into the arms of the Tang Dynasty, so Shu retained a very strong Central Plains legacy, which can be seen from the current court political system.

This day was already the third day of the Tang army's siege of the city, and at the court meeting of the Shu Kingdom, General Li rubbed his dizzy forehead and sighed: "Ladies and gentlemen, how is the situation in defending the city now?" ”

"Your Excellency, today our army has defeated the Tang army several attacks, now the people's hearts are available, the army is strong, and the grain and grass in the city are also sufficient, it will not be a problem to hold on for another month, and when the time comes, the elite of my Kunlun Pass can also come back, and the Tang army will definitely be caught off guard." The person who spoke was none other than Huang Xun, the general of the Shu Kingdom.

When General Li heard this information, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Huang Aiqing has worked hard, and after defeating the Tang army, I will reward the Huang family well." ”

"Thank you, your majesty, it is the duty of the minister to fight for the country, and the minister does not dare to accept it." Huang Xun replied pretendedly.

Hearing this answer, General Li was even more satisfied, just when the monarch and the minister got along, the great sect ordered Li Yuan to stand up and snort coldly: "General Huang's words are wrong, your lordship, as far as the minister knows, now there are not only 50,000 Tang troops outside the city, but also nearly 20,000 Tang troops not far from us are attacking the city, so that there are as many as 70,000 Tang troops besieging Shuzhou, while our army is only more than 40,000 people, not veterans of the battlefield, I am afraid that it is not as optimistic as General Huang thought." ”

Huang Xun said angrily: "Great Sect Order, you are here to grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige." ”

Li Yuan was also very unhappy and said: "Great Sect Order, you don't need to say it anymore, I am the monarch of Shu Kingdom, how can I abandon the capital and retreat at will?" In doing so, what face do I have to go to my fathers and fathers? ”

"Your Majesty, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, Shuzhou is not easy to guard, we can retreat to Lingzhou, Lingzhou and Southern Chu are only separated by a water, and the people of Southern Chu will not see death without help." Li Yuan persuaded bitterly.

"Dazong Order, you damn it, what are you trying to do? If we really retreat to Lingzhou, then Southern Chu will definitely rule over the monarch in the future, and then the monarch will not become a puppet in the hands of the Southern Chu people. Huang Xun asked angrily.

Li Yuangang wanted to ridicule each other, but saw General Li wave his hand and said angrily: "Okay, I have made up my mind, this time I and Shuzhou will advance and retreat together, and there will be those who flee, there will be such a case." With that, he swung his sword and cut off a corner of the table.

"Your Excellency is wise." Huang Xun and the other main battle factions said happily.

After retreating from the court, Li Yuan returned to his mansion and began to sigh for a long time, when a voice came from outside the door and said, "Shu Yi asks to see the Great Sect Order." ”

Li Yuan frowned and said, "Sir, please come in." ”

Shu Yi is a handsome middle-aged man, after entering the house, he first gave Li Yuan a salute, looking at Li Yuan's appearance, Shu Yi asked with a smile: "Dazong Ling, it seems that the situation is not too good, the monarch has not agreed to move to Lingzhou?" ”

Li Yuan slapped the table heavily and said angrily: "This gentleman doesn't know what medicine he took wrong?" It's okay to be cowardly usually, but this time it's determined to defend it, you say so many Tang troops, how can we hold it? ”

Shu Yi said with a look of wisdom in his hand: "Great Sect Order, Your Majesty's move also understands that it is actually for the little prince." ”

Speaking of this, Li Yuan's face immediately changed and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Shu, do you think that incident will be discovered by the king?" ”

Shu Yi sighed and said: "Great Sect Order, it doesn't matter whether this matter can be discovered by the monarch now, if the monarch is obsessed with it again, we all have to be buried with him, especially the little prince, judging from the character of the Tang King, the little prince will not live to adulthood." ”

"Alas, Mr. Shu, I know that you have a relationship with the Tang people, and I have already agreed to the Tang people for those requests you made, now I confirm again, if I surrender, then does the promise given to me by the Tang people still count?" Li Yuan sighed and said.

Shu Yi hurriedly nodded and said: "Although the changes are a bit different from before, our plan before was to hold the king hostage and surrender together, now since the king is unwilling, then we might as well support the little prince, the king of Tang wants this big name, as for who is the king of Shu?" Tang Wang won't care. ”

"You mean to ...... you," Li Yuan made a gesture to wipe his neck.

Shu Yi nodded and said, "Great Sect Order, don't hesitate, it's not poisonous and not a husband." ”

Dazong Ling thought for a long time before he said slowly: "In this case, then I will contact the Ximen guard tomorrow night, the Ximen guard Feng Que is my cronies, even Your Majesty doesn't know about this matter, when the time comes, I will sacrifice the city gate, you will go to the palace, kill the king, and we should surrender to the Tang army inside and outside." ”

"Okay, that's it, I'll write to the Tang Army outside the city now." Shu Yi said with great joy.

After Shu Yi left, Li Yuan summoned his henchman butler in and said, "Old Qin, you have been following your true appearance for ten years." ”

"It's been ten years." The butler replied cautiously.

Li Yuan nodded: "For so many years, I have been kind to you, and now I ask you for something." ”

"Xiangye, please speak."

"Tomorrow night, take advantage of the chaos to take the third prince out of Beijing and go to Datang, I have already done all the things such as household registration and money, let the third prince change his surname, and you will live a good life in Datang."

"The old slave obeys."
