King Zhao hesitated and said: "Sir, you should know that now there are more than 300 generals in my mansion, Liu Guangsi, Zhao Zhiyuan, and Lin Zhien, three forbidden army generals outside the mansion, and six battalions of Xiang army commanders are waiting?" ”

"Yes." Li Gu came back to his senses and said, "How can such a big event be used as a joke?" In this situation, His Royal Highness's best policy is to really control Fuzhou Mansion in the shortest possible time, and even take the opportunity to kill Xu Zixian, the Marquis of Nan'an, who is still in the city! ”

This time, King Zhao was really moved, under the shadow of the lamp, the expression on his face was gloomy and uncertain, and it was difficult to argue.

If you talk about the identity of King Zhao, what can give him a headache, except that King Qi, whose identity is equivalent to his own and whose strength and prestige are above him, gives him a headache, Xu Zixian is the one who gives him the most headaches.

"Your Highness, there is something important."

A military attache of the royal palace almost staggered in, his expression so flustered that his whole face was distorted.

"What's wrong?" Although King Zhao's heart sank, he was still calm, and scolded: "Look at what you look like? ”

"The little one is guilty." King Zhao has always believed in governing the army strictly, so the military law at home is quite strict, even harsh to the point of being unkind, which also makes the generals of King Zhao's mansion quite fearful, but they are cautious and cautious in doing things, and no one is willing to take responsibility.

Just like Xu Ziwen ordered to fight, no one was willing to obey the order, that kind of situation was too common in Zhao Wangfu.

After half-kneeling and pleading, the military attache hugged his fists and reported: "Before and after the change, the main gate of the Qi Wangfu suddenly opened, hundreds of generals and the forbidden army who rushed over after hearing the news, there were more than 1,000 generals of the Xiang army, and they came out of the palace with the king of Qi sitting on their shoulders, and hundreds of torches were beaten, and His Royal Highness the king of Qi was reflected very obviously, and there were tens of thousands of people along the way to see it quite really, many people stepped forward to salute the king of Qi, and the king of Qi returned the salute with a smile, and then went all the way to the punishment envoy. ”

King Zhao's heart almost sank to the bottom, and his eyes were almost spewing fire.

Li Gu's face was like sinking water, and he seemed calm, but in fact, his eyes also showed a panicked look.

originally thought that King Qi would not be able to get out of bed even if he was not dead, but the reality quickly slapped Li Gu hard.

"Go and ...... the envoy to the punishment" Li Gu's brain thought nervously, his words were related to his life and death, and for King Zhao, it was even more related to the layout of more than ten years, if he was disappointed in Li Gu, Li Gu would end well as soon as he died...... It's good if it doesn't affect your family.

Li Gu eagerly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and hurriedly said: "If the King of Qi wants to tear his face, he will definitely order all the soldiers and horses, and then rush to pacify the envoys, entangle Lin Douyao, pass on Zheng Liqi and Yang Shiwei, and then lead the officials to the first army, collect the soldiers and horses, impose martial law in the whole city, and track down Liu Guangsi's whereabouts, and then, regardless of whether Liu Guangsi is in the Zhao Palace, he will personally go to the palace to force us to hand over people, and then accidentally had a conflict, so that the soldiers killed and injured His Highness...... That's the best way to go. Now he went to the Criminal Envoy Division, which was nothing more than saying that he had been poisoned, and asked the Criminal Envoy Department to investigate thoroughly...... This is to send us a signal, this matter, not counting Liu Guangsi's head, is considered a suspicious case, since it is a suspicious case, there is no suspect, naturally there is no way to arrest Liu Guangsi......"

Li Gu was sweating profusely, but his expression was quite relaxed, he shook his head with a chuckle, and said, "His Royal Highness King Qi has always been a little pedantic, but I never expected it to be so pedantic...... We already want his life, but he still thinks about the overall situation...... I don't know if I want to admire or despise? ”

"Admire." King Zhao's expression was complicated, he slowly sat back in his chair, and said: "King Qi is going to make a deal with us, he is trying not to call me a monopoly, or Lin Douyao takes advantage, so he doesn't look for Lin Douyao to join forces to fight with me, this is the most important reason......"

No matter what, King Zhao still understood and realized King Qi's intentions.

How does the King of Qi love the people, how benevolent, he is still a clan in his bones, and he is the descendant of Emperor Taizu, in this stormy period, if he fights with King Zhao because of anger, and King Qi obviously lives for a short time, and finally leaves a huge power vacuum, how to fill it?

Relying on those princes, more than a dozen clan marquises?

Isn't that a joke?

The prince of the clan from Jiangling came over, he had no foundation in Fujian, and everything started from scratch, how could he fight with Lin Douyao, who had mastered the military and political power of the Fujian Road?

The two governments must also support the pacification envoys, rather than letting the clan sit big.

The power and status of the clan has always been a kind of game, delicate and balanced, the entire Great Wei, in addition to the Beijing division with the Son of Heaven in charge, the clan has a certain amount of real power and status, which is nothing more than Jiangling and Fuzhou.

This is the national policy of the Great Wei Dynasty for more than 200 years, and the task of being placed in Jiangling and Fuzhou is to strike a good balance, suppress the clan as much as possible, encroach on the power of the clan, restrict the clan from gaining more wealth, and make the local area as balanced and stable as possible.

In the previous 200 years, the pacification envoys had always done a good job, and the imperial court also tried to select the most capable pacification envoys to Fuzhou or Jiangling.

As a pacification envoy in these two places, as long as he makes achievements, he is most likely to directly enter the two prefectures......

Lin Douyao has always wanted to enter the two mansions, and the main reason is this.

If King Qi and King Zhao were both defeated, the two mansions and Lin Douyao would not be polite, and no matter how ruthless the civil officials fought each other, they would have the same ambition in restricting the clan, and there would be no conflicts and disputes.

Just as civilian officials suppress military attachés, they also have no good impression of the clan.

King Zhao doesn't have to think much to know the intentions of King Qi, if it is during the Chengping period, he might as well call the pacification to temporarily gain power, anyway, the general trend is there, there are many clans in Fuzhou, and sooner or later there will be outstanding figures who will come out to clean up the situation and regain the lost territory.

But at this time, the country will change, and it is more important for the local clan to hold real power, this is where King Qi takes care of the overall situation, he would rather die himself, and King Zhao will control more, but he will also use this matter to stabilize his basic plate, not to let King Zhao take it smoothly, during this time, give it to Lin Douyao, the two sides still have the power to check and balance each other, and neither one can dominate.

Li Gu also thought of King Qi's intentions, and couldn't help but change his expression, and then smiled bitterly.

If King Qi arranges it like this, his suggestion just now is tantamount to.

Unless it is to take a big risk and turn Fuzhou into ruins, what is the point of fighting for it like this?

The court must also be angry, the two sides fought hard, with the current situation, which side won the court recognized which side, if the two sides demolished Fuzhou, Fujian Road was furious, really when the court was muddy?

It is now the fourteenth year of Chongde, and the Great Wei still has the ability to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops for the Northern Expedition!

"We can't say that there is no ...... here" King Zhao leaned back and said quite tiredly: "Ask Liu Guangsi to play a play." ”

"Well, I'll go out and confess to him." Li Gu looked embarrassed, and wanted to go out with a fist salute.

"It's called Zhao Zhiyuan, Lin Zhien restricts his subordinates, if there is any order to appease the envoy tomorrow, everyone should not disobey the order."

Li Gu said: "If it's ......"

"Nothing is likely to change." King Zhao squinted at this confidant and said, "If there is a change, it will not be too late for us to make another move." ”

Li Gu said with a slight hesitation: "King Qi arranged it like this, and I faintly feel that it is not so simple. ”

"It's not purely for the sake ......of state affairs," King Zhao said: "Our clan knows each other best, and it's just other things, King Qi's current arrangement is mostly for the successor in his heart, and in another ten or eight years, he can take over the power he left behind and become the next King of Qi." ”

"The king is talking about Xu Zixian, the Marquis of Nan'an?"

"Who else could it be but him?" King Zhao's face showed a look of emotion, and he said hatefully: "King Qi has worked so hard to arrange, can it still be for me?" ”

There was a strong unwillingness and resentment in King Zhao's words, and he recognized that King Qi was just talking, but the resentment in his heart couldn't be suppressed.

The old horseman, since King Zhao came to Fujian, has been vigilant and suppressed in every way, so that King Zhao can't stretch, and now he has been poisoned, and he doesn't know how long he can live, but he is struggling to get up and layout, still wary of King Zhao, and would rather support Xu Zixian than support King Zhao, who is also a prince and the father of the Son of Heaven.

"Your Highness won't pay attention," Li Gu clenched his fists and said, "Time is on our side." ”

After Li Gu went out, King Zhao's face showed a look of exhaustion that could not be concealed, and he shook his head lightly, is time really on his side? Not necessarily!

……

After returning to the Hou Mansion, Xu Zi first went to his parents' spirit card to offer incense and pray, if there is really any spirit in the sky in this world, Xu Zixian hopes to protect King Qi to pass the current level safely.

At the very least, you can take care of your body and delay it from a few months to a year, or even two or three years.

No matter how long it is, Xu Zixian doesn't dare to hope.

There were not many people left in the Hou Mansion, and they were not too small, and they quickly prepared dinner for everyone, and in the calm and stagnant environment, people's appetites were not too good.

The sound of the cup and spoon was very soft, and no one spoke, although the accident of King Qi did not make the people of Nan'an Hou Mansion feel bleak, but at least people understand that without the towering tree of King Qi, there will be many unpredictable changes in the future, whether it is good or bad, you can only rely on yourself.

King Qi is Xu Zixian's biggest background and backer, there is also a right minister Xu Xiashang in the Beijing Division, the old right minister is only a well-known Confucian and prime minister in the sea, the influence and actual power in Fujian Road is far less than that of King Qi, and the right minister is old, once he returns to his hometown, he will basically be in a state of not asking about foreign affairs, counting on Xu Xiashang to come forward to fight for the rights of Nan'an Houfu, this idea is originally quite naïve fantasy.

Xu Zixian still has the largest foreign aid of the Changwen Marquis Mansion, but a major feature of the civil official family is the lack of adaptability, in a normal state, the civil official family is quite difficult, almost difficult to be defeated, and in an emergency, it is difficult for the civil official family to intervene and control the situation, only wait for the dust to settle, to see if their family's bets are accurate or lost.

In the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to count on the Marquis of Changwen's Mansion, but at this point, the Marquis of Changwen's Mansion will not give up the alliance with Xu Zixian, so in the control of the local government, Xu Zixian will surpass King Zhao.

As soon as King Qi left, the situation was definitely going to become much more sinister, but everyone, including Xu Zixian, was relieved.

More than a year ago, if King Zhao had targeted Xu Zixian, it would have torn his face and targeted him without rules, Xu Zixian would have been completely ruined in an instant, and he would have no power to fight back at all.

At that time, the gap between the two sides was like the gap between a martial arts master in the prime of life and an infant toddler, King Zhao could kill Xu Zixian as much as he wanted, any posture for any reason, or even for any reason, as long as a gesture, there would naturally be countless people stepping forward to help.

At that time, Xu Zixian was poor, depressed, and penniless, and King Zhao was at most afraid that his blood was too close, and he was easy to gossip, and Xu Zixian at that time, King Zhao didn't even pay attention to his interest, he was completely a mouse in the gutter, a salted fish who couldn't turn over.

If King Zhao could know that Xu Zixian had developed to the point where he was now, I am afraid that he would have made a move without hesitation back then...... It's a pity that there is no chance to give him a chance to repent.

A difficult situation is inevitable, but it is not without the ability to fight back...... This is the situation that Nan'an Hou Mansion will face in the future, and it doesn't seem too bad?

Chen Zuocai and Chen Daojian began to whisper, the two of them agreed, don't mess with ideas now, wait until Fang Shaoqun, Li Yi, Kong He, Fu Qian and others are all here!
