"Xu Qingjia, what do you think about the Hu people wanting to negotiate peace with Great Wei?" As soon as he talked about this, Emperor Shuntian still couldn't help but be full of anger.

It is simply an unprecedented national shame to let the Hu people show off their might in the territory of the Great Wei.

And such a national shame happened when he was in power, and he didn't dare to imagine how future generations would look at this period of history.

Xu Yuchu saluted and said: "Your Majesty, although this matter is a bad thing, it is a good thing for the emperor. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

In fact, some officials and nobles knew in their hearts that the proposal to cede the two southern provinces was not the emperor's intention, but the intention of An Guogong.

And the reason why the Hu people were able to gain a firm foothold in the south was also related to this proposal, so the charge of leading the wolf into the house An Guogong could not be washed away.

Especially in the southern region, the family with all kinds of huge interests will definitely be dissatisfied with An Guogong, but they dare not speak out.

And the reason why the emperor has not been able to get the help of loyal people so far is because the emperor is trapped in the capital.

Therefore, the minister proposed that the emperor could follow the example of Emperor Wu of Wei and carry out a personal expedition against the Hu people in the south. ”

"The Imperial Driver?" Zhao Yufeng, who originally admired his ancestor Emperor Wei Wu very much, suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Yes, it's the Imperial Driver.

As long as the emperor goes to the south in this name, he will not only be able to jump out of the capital controlled by Anguo Gong, but also take the opportunity to gather loyal ministers and righteous people from all walks of life to take refuge along the way. ”

"What if I can take this opportunity to repel the Hu people?" Emperor Shuntian said with some excitement.

"The emperor's prestige will be unparalleled, and there will be more and more people who are willing to take refuge in the emperor, and then An Guogong and others will no longer be able to suppress the emperor.

It's just that the Hu people are fierce, and they are good at riding and shooting, coming and going like the wind, and it is not easy to repel them.

Instead of fighting with the Hu people to the end, the emperor should gather soldiers and horses from all over the country in the name of the emperor's personal conquest, which is the best policy.

As long as the emperor has available soldiers in his hands, he will naturally have the strength to confront An Guogong and others. ”

"Okay, then I'll take the expedition myself." Emperor Shuntian slapped the table and said.

"The emperor can have this determination, and the ministers swear to follow him to the death. It's just that the minister is worried that the Xie family and others will stop the emperor from personally conquest.

If An Guogong tries his best to stop it, this matter will indeed be difficult to do. ”

"How do you deal with that?"

"The minister thinks that he should build momentum first."

……………………

After returning home, Xu Yuchu hesitated for a while, and finally ordered the subordinates in the family to put away the lanterns at the door.

Although the subordinate was puzzled, he still did it.

In the middle of the night, Xu Yuchu, who was sitting alone in the study reading a book, heard the sound of a husband beating outside, and it turned out that it was ugly before he knew it.

Will that person really come?

Xu Yuchu couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

After another half an hour, he finally heard a deep voice from outside the door, "Lord Xu, did you call him down?" ”

It's finally here.

Xu Yuchu's heart tightened, and then he spoke: "Yes, I called you here according to the code I set with you." You'll talk about it first. ”

"Then please let Lord Xu turn off the lights in the house first."

A group of ghosts and ghosts worship the rats who can't see the light.

After Xu Yuchu scolded in his heart, he still extinguished the oil lamp in the study according to the other party's request, and the room was suddenly dark.

The man outside the house pushed open the door and walked in.

Through the dim starlight, Xu Yuchu saw that the other party was still like the first time they met, their faces were covered with black cloth, and they couldn't see their faces at all. But judging from the tall figure and voice, it was indeed the same person last time.

"What do you have to tell Lord Xu to come over?" The man asked straight to the point.

"You said last time that you could help me do things, but the condition is that when you ask me to help in the future, I can't shirk it, right?"

"Yes, Lord Xu."

"Well, I'll grant your request. I have something I want you to do for me right now.

If you help me do this, then I owe you a favor. ”

The man said in a deep voice, "What does Lord Xu want us to do?" ”

"I want you to help me build momentum."

……………………

"I am the king of a country, why can't I drive the expedition in person?"

"Just because the emperor is the king of a country, how can he take risks easily?

If something happens to the emperor, the world will be in chaos, so the ministers resolutely oppose the emperor's personal conquest. ”

"It's a good sentence that the world is in chaos, isn't it the chaos in the south now?

The Hu people can show off their power in the south, and An Guogong can really be said to have made great contributions. ”

"The emperor said cautiously, the old minister is loyal to Dawei, and the emperor is wrong to blame the old minister."

"Hmph, countless people in the south are being poisoned by the Hu people, and as the lord of Great Wei, I should save them from fire and water.

And you, as a general in the southwest, not only could you not repel the Hu people, but also let the harm of the Hu people continue to expand, what kind of face do you have to say such things now.

Since you said that I blamed you for my mistakes, why did you stop me from driving the expedition and saving thousands of people?

Xie Qingjia, I ask you, are you really selfless? ”

"The loyalty of the old minister can show the sun and the moon, and I implore the emperor to retract his will."

"What if I have to go on a personal expedition?"

"For the sake of the Great Wei Dynasty, please ask the emperor to take back his will."

Looking at An Guogong, who had a cold and hard expression and a resolute attitude, Emperor Shuntian trembled with anger.

really made Xu Yuchu guess right, this old horseman really wanted to stop him from driving in person.

Emperor Shuntian looked around the main hall, and the other officials and nobles all bowed their heads like quails and did not dare to make a sound, as if they could not hear the quarrel between the two at all.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Shuntian Zhao Yanfeng couldn't help but feel both desperate and angry.

As the king of a country in the Great Wei Dynasty, there is not a single official in the entire court who is willing to speak out to help him, what does it mean for him to be the emperor?

Sure enough, Xu Yuchu was right, this capital is a cage laid by Xie Thief's family, if he can't leave this cage, then he can only be a puppet emperor for the rest of his life.

At this moment, Emperor Shuntian was more eager than ever to leave the capital in order to break free from the control of his "good grandfather".

Although the fierce quarrel between Emperor Shuntian and An Guogong in the court did not dare to publish it in any newspaper, it was still leaked through various channels, so that more and more nobles and low-level officials of the family knew about it.

If it were the same as before, there might still be some officials with an upright temperament who would have braved their deaths.

But it's a pity that most of those backbone civil officials are people who support the inheritance system of the eldest prince, that is, those who support the eldest prince, and they are basically all killed by the Imperial Prosecutor's Office.

Now those who remain in the court are either people who are An Guogong themselves, or people who are greedy for life and afraid of death who can only protect themselves, so no one is willing to speak up for Emperor Shuntian.
