Min Yue sat in the Taishi chair, and there was a group of people kneeling in front of him, both men and women, all of them hanging their heads and crying.

They are all family members of the generals of the Xuanjia Army, and the emperor has not yet started to deal with them at this time, but they have already felt the danger, in order to save their lives, a group of people discussed, came to the house of the Great Pillar Kingdom, and begged the Great Pillar Kingdom to take refuge.

Min Yue smiled bitterly: "Now, I am also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect myself, what is the use of you begging me?" ”

Ju Wuming's family said: "Since Dazhuguo returned to Beijing, he has been bent on clearing up the relationship with the army, and now it is really a wise move, at this time the emperor must trust you, if you can go to intercede with the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely let them go in the favor of relatives." ”

Min Yue shook his head and said, "It's impossible, some people can't be let go, they must die." But you don't have to worry too much, after all, Emperor Zhide is benevolent and righteous, and he shouldn't attack you. In addition, I also have troubles to do now, my son is still in Jiaohe City to control the military power, and now it is time to hand over the military power to the emperor. ”

Min Yue's words are only half of what he said, and the most troublesome thing for him now is by no means the military power of Jiaohe, but the brothers Cao Dingguo and Cao Dingbang, these two people were pulled up by Min Yue, and in this mutiny, they fell to Cao Sheng at the same time, which was a big blow to Min Yue.

None of them came close to the emperor, what do you mean? Is there a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle?

In fact, as Min Yue, he can see through all this, but what about seeing through it? Isn't it touched in the depths of my heart?

Min Yue did not go directly to the emperor, but came to the Tang Mansion to meet Prime Minister Tang Zhen.

The two old men in their last years met, and they didn't talk about serious things, but talked about the experience of the joint crusade against Mobei, and when it came to happiness, the two laughed, as if the blood, rain, and changes were in the conversation and laughter of the two.

After chatting for a while, Tang Zhen said: "Don't worry, now Zhao Ce's situation is not as good as when Empress Dowager Cao was in power, Cao Fadi finally knocked down the Meng family and the Ximen family, and turned the division of the four families into two divisions. Now the emperor has only 200,000 troops, and Xiao Han's attitude in Mozhou is still a little uncertain, and now if he wants to make meritorious contributions, the focus is on Xiao Han. Whether he will submit to the emperor or take refuge in the Cao family is still uncertain. ”

Min Yue said: "I have no relationship with Xiao Han, and I can't do anything about him who he takes refuge into." ”

Tang Zhen shook his head and said: "It didn't matter if there was anything to do with it before, as long as Dazhu Guoken personally went out now to persuade Xiao Han to return to the emperor, this is an excellent opportunity for you, Xiao Han, and the emperor." You have the merit of persuasion, Xiao Han has the person to guide the way, and the emperor has subdued the general. If you make such a contribution, your status as a Great Pillar will accompany you to the grave. ”

Min Yue, the old and pale pillar country, personally boarded the journey and rushed to Mozhou to meet Xiao Han, the general of Mozhou, and Xiao Han greeted him for ten miles.

Xiao Han said: "Dazhuguo came by coincidence, Cen Shen just came to me from Cao Sheng, you came, I haven't chatted with Cen Shen yet, why don't we talk to the three of us now, how about it?" ”

Min Yue, who was used to seeing the wind and clouds, couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, her face was pleasant, and she nodded in agreement.

Cen Shen appeared in front of Da Zhuguo with a cold face, hugged his fists very perfunctorily, and sat down in his seat.

At this time, they were sitting in Xiao Han's general's mansion, the living room was spacious, there were only three maids, a few guards, and there were ear rooms on both sides of the living room, I don't know if there were people hidden inside.

Xiao Han was polite, served tea and snacks, and then said: "Now, I only have 50,000 soldiers and horses under my command, but after my years of tempering, my 50,000 people can be described as the first elite soldier of the Liang Dynasty. The land of Hebei is rich, there has been no war for several years, all industries are revived, plus the people of Hebei are strong, after many times of sand and tide, I gave those old, weak, sick and disabled to the new recruit Governor Ma Bufang, and all of my men are strong men. ”

Xiao Han hugged his fists in the sky, "The Queen Mother looks up to me and appoints me as the general who guards one side, and to the north of me is Xiao Tianzhen, the general of the Liao State, the army of tigers and wolves is expected, I Xiao Han is the queen mother, for the Liang Dynasty, I am willing to die in battle." Today, the two of you came to me at the same time, I hope you don't say something unfavorable to the Liang Dynasty, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people. ”

Xiao Han's words, the previous sentence also said that the Queen Mother died for the Liang Dynasty, but the words "Queen Mother" in the latter sentence are gone.

Obedient to listen to the wind, Xiao Han's meaning, Min Yue basically understood, but he didn't say anything directly, but said with a smile: "The old man is here, naturally he didn't persuade General Xiao to rebel against the Liang Dynasty, in the face of foreign aggression, General Xiao has made outstanding achievements, and the old man admires it very much." ”

Although he didn't seem to say anything, he had actually said it, and Xiao Han could understand it.

But Cen Shen didn't understand, and said coldly: "What are you talking about all that nonsense, Xiao Han, I'll ask you, who do you plan to turn to." If you want me to say, you still take refuge in Cao Sheng. Emperor Zhao Ce is a little boy with a yellow mouth, and he has no prospects, but Cao Sheng is still strong and calculating, and he will become a big thing. Moreover, the Cao family is full of talents, and Cao Changjing, the eldest son of the Cao Sheng family, is even more resourceful, calm and sophisticated, and sooner or later he will get a big position. ”

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Xiao Han slowly turned his head, the general's tiger eyes were majestic, his face was full of murderous aura, and he said in a deep voice: "Cen Shen, I have worked together for many years, today's words, when you are drunk, I don't care, if you dare to say it again, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings." In addition, I also think it is very inconvenient for you to stay in Mozhou, since Da Zhuguo came in person, he can't let his old man go back empty-handed. You can accompany Dazhuguo back to the capital together. ”

"What! Xiao Han, you actually betrayed me! You must know that if you do this, you will completely turn your face with Cao Sheng! Cen Shen stood up suddenly.

But as soon as he stood up, a soldier in armor pressed him down and said, "Sit down!" ”

Xiao Han waved his hand.

Two burly soldiers grabbed Cen Shen's arm, twisted it back, tied it with a rope, and finally tied it up and pushed him to the ground.

Xiao Han stood up and said, "Then trouble Dazhuguo to take him back, in addition, this is the tiger talisman of the Mozhou army, and I also bother you to personally send it to the emperor to replace it with a new tiger talisman." ”

Min Yue smiled, took the tiger talisman, and walked away, and the soldiers followed closely behind with Cen Shen.

As soon as Min Yue walked away, the curtain of the ear room was lifted, and a person came out, hugged his fist at Xiao Han and said: "From now on, our two families will support each other, and in the future, we will definitely not forget General Xiao's contributions." ”

Xiao Han glanced at Chen Bao and sneered, "I hope so." ”
