"I've seen Sangkook." After Xu Zi entered the room, he was respectful and respectful, and the prime minister was above the prince, and he was courteous, and there should be no negligence in etiquette.

"What do you mean by Nan Anhou here?" Although Xu Zi was only able to officially attack the knighthood in the morning, Han Zhong must have gotten the news a long time ago.

In front of Xu Zixian, Han Zhong disdained to hide his emotions, and Han Zhong was unwilling to pretend to this marquis of the Fujian clan who had caused a lot of trouble to his layout.

The prime minister in front of him was about sixty years old, his face was calm and resolute, his figure was well maintained, he was dressed in a purple robe and his feet were spread, although he was summoned in a private room, Han Zhong did not change into civilian clothes, showing his wariness and indifference to Xu Zixian.

"Xiangguo is in danger." Xu Zixian said calmly: "Liu Zhiyuan went to the inner east gate to be alone, what does Xiangguo think he is going to do?" ”

"Alarmist." Han Zhong said angrily: "Zai Zhi is involved in the major affairs of the country in the face of the Son of Heaven, what do you want to say and what do you want to do as a silverfish-like clan?" ”

"It's not a silverfish down there." Xu Zixian said: "Nan'an beheaded a thousand people in the first battle, and no one helped him, if this is also a silverfish, there are too few officials in the world who are not silverfish." ”

Han Zhong sneered, but he was shocked in his heart, he originally thought that Xu Zi had first come to make amends in order to return to Fujian in peace, but now it seems that this young clan really knows some inside information?

"Liu Zhiyuan went to the inner east gate to be alone, and then the privy councillor Chen Badger summoned all the compartments to command, the army commanded the meeting, and the Beijing camp forbidden army became a mass of scattered sand, and then the Son of Heaven sent Lang Wei to hold the festival out, Liu Zhiyuan ordered Shi Yuji to lead the sergeant to the Prime Minister's Mansion, saying that the Prime Minister rebelled, and the Son of Heaven ordered the arrest, how will the Prime Minister deal with himself when he arrives?" Xu Zixian knew that time was tight and there could be no unnecessary delay, so he said straightforwardly: "If Xianggong doesn't believe me, I'll turn around and leave now, but I'm sure that after dark at night, Lang Wei will rush into Xiangfu, and then it will be a different scene, I don't know if Xianggong is tied up, waiting to be ridiculed by Liu Zhiyuan, humiliated and then committed suicide, or when the army enters the mansion, he chooses to kill himself?" ”

Han Zhong said word by word: "How do you know?" ”

"It doesn't matter." Xu Zixian said: "The important thing is that someone uses me to make the Son of Heaven make up his mind, and in the name of the two ministers joining forces to keep me, establish a storage position, and threaten the Son of Heaven, this can make the Son of Heaven make up his mind......"

Han Zhong has believed ninety percent so far, and the rumor that Xu Zixian and Xu Zicheng want to stay in Beijing has spread, and of course Han Zhong has heard about it. He thought that this was the wishful thinking of the right minister Xu Xiashang, Xu Zicheng, the idiot, did not have any threat, of course Xu Zixian had a threat, if Xu Xiashang proposed this proposal at the meeting of the political hall, Han Zhong's plan was to categorically deny it and not give Xu Xiashang a chance to operate this matter.

I didn't expect that Liu Zhiyuan would actually use this incident as a breakthrough, which is simply a shameful frame-up and a complete rumor!

"Xianggong wants to rush to the inner east gate to explain?" Xu Zixian said slowly: "The Son of Heaven has ordered Wei Wei to control the forbidden army, and the senior officials of Lang Wei have reached the inner east gate, and their attitude is already quite clear, is it useful for Xianggong to explain at this time?" In fact, the Son of Heaven has long wanted to take down Xianggong, but he lacks the reason and excuse to make up his mind, and this incident just gave the Son of Heaven the clearest reason and excuse. ”

What kind of person is Han Zhong, he has been in the officialdom all his life, he has seen all kinds of thick scheming and ruthless methods, the endowment of the Son of Heaven is medium, his personality is distorted and impulsive, and it is difficult to change what he has made up his mind, all of which made Han Zhong sit down again after getting up...... What if the Son of Heaven believed his explanation? Ready to fly, have to send!

"Then what good is it for you to come to me?" Han Zhong stared at Xu Zixian and asked, "Are you here to confirm our collusion?" ”

Xu Zixian said in a deep voice: "The blade is coming, of course I have to fight back, I didn't have it before, I don't have it now, and there will be no day when I will be tied up in the future." If the prince trusts me, if I want to fight hard, the only way is to kill Liu Zhiyuan! ”

Han Zhong was suddenly shocked, and stared at Xu Zixian for a while, he really didn't expect that this young clan in front of him would have such courage and determination?

After a half-ring, Han Zhong said, "Why should I believe you?" ”

"Because the interests are the same," Xu Zixian said: "The prime minister wants to keep his position and his life, and so do I." Since they are tied together, they are natural allies. I've heard a saying that if you win a battle, you can rely on those who can't be trusted. If you lose, those who can rely on it can't be relied on. Now that the public is in danger, the old forces are either prevented or unreliable, and what can really be used is me, the former enemy......"

"So how do you go about it?" At this moment, Han Zhong saw Xu Zixian's ambition and the ruthlessness hidden under the appearance, the more so, the more he felt at ease, stood up, Han Zhong said: "Liu Zhiyuan has more than 100 yuan in the mansion, and there are quite a lot of generals, if the edict is rebellious, there will be Lang Wei to follow, it will be difficult to do, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Lang Wei holds the White Tiger Flag, and the forbidden army is all tied up, unreliable." ”

"I'm bringing people from the countryside from Fujian." Xu Zixian said: "The forbidden army under the White Tiger is tied, but my people won't, and there are also Wang Zhi's people." I want to ask for a promise here, after this incident, I will go back to Fujian, Wang Zhican get the support of the Xianggong, and I need to be in the Tang, the Xianggong heard that Liu Zhiyuan rebelled and rebelled, so that I led the troops to quell the chaos. Then there was a hall, so that I could return to Fujian quickly after the examination to appease the heart of the son of heaven. Again, the Son of Heaven is willing to support the Northern Expedition, but within the control of the Prime Minister, he must not waste his troops......"

"What's the point?" Han Zhongdao: "I am against the Northern Expedition, and now I have changed my opinion, how do the people below think of me?" ”

"Political insistence is to look at gains and losses, and now Xianggong has become a person who must be eliminated in the heart of the Son of Heaven because of his opposition to the Northern Expedition, and he can no longer insist on it. This time, if Liu Zhiyuan is to be punished, at least let the Son of Heaven feel that Xianggong can also stand with him, instead of always opposing the Northern Expedition, if there is no such omission, I am afraid that the Son of Heaven will personally go out of the palace to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then the previous achievements will be wasted......"

Han Zhong's face sank like water, but he did not reject Xu Zixian's suggestion.

In fact, it is precisely because the Northern Expedition was proposed by Liu Zhiyuan that it became a watershed between the Han faction and the Liu faction, and Han Zhong must insist on it no matter what, otherwise the big government will be controlled by Liu Zhiyuan sooner or later, and Han Zhong has to strongly oppose it, if Liu Zhiyuan can be eliminated, of course Han Zhong's change will not matter, but in front of Xu Zixian, Han Zhong will have to do something......

"This is his mother's Xiangguo ...... upholding national politics" Xu Zixian has no lack of sadness and powerlessness in his heart, no wonder the Great Wei will die in the country, from the world to the ruler is like this, and it is strange that the country will not die.

"Please make ......a decision as soon as possible," Xu Zixian urged: "You have to rush to play and play before the end of the inner east gate, once you fall behind, you will lose your righteousness." ”

Han Zhong's face was cloudy, he had been in the country for more than ten years, and he also had his own ideas in front of the Son of Heaven, of course he couldn't rely on everything, but now he was led by the young descendants in front of him, but he could only rely on the other party's proposition.

"I now know why Lin Douyao and Han Bingzhong are so embarrassed," Han Zhong sat down and began to write a note in favor ......of the Northern Expedition according to Xu Zixian's request.

……

Liu Zhiyuan waited in the side hall for a while, and then an attendant came in and invited him in.

Several attendants stood in front of the door of the palace, nodding and smiling at Liu Zhiyuan.

This time, Liu Zhiyuan has already withdrawn twice, and the Son of Heaven invited him to enter the main hall again, which is the third time.

"Great involvement." A confessor said aloud: "Please ask the Son of Heaven to stand up for political participation." ”

The Son of Heaven on the imperial chair in the main hall stood up and glanced at Liu Zhiyuan.

The Son of Heaven wore a not so formal in the temple, a light yellow Dake flower robe, wide clothes and belts, of course, the clothes were the best materials, the thorns, the weavers, were the best styles made by Su, and the cutting was also flawless, the Son of Heaven had no belts, and the top of his head was a azure-colored foot band.

The Son of Heaven was of medium height, thin in build, with a short beard on his chin, small eyes, and very white skin, making him a shrewd-looking aristocratic figure.

"The minister has seen Your Majesty." Liu Zhiyuan bowed for a long time, and the Son of Heaven returned the salute halfway.

After the official family sat down, Liu Zhiyuan said quite eagerly: "Please make up your Majesty's mind quickly, once Han Zhong finds out that there is anything wrong with this independence, I am afraid that it will break out......"

"The prime minister doesn't necessarily act that way." The Son of Heaven lowered the jade voice and said: "Half an hour ago, the Han Prime Minister sent someone to send a song, saying that he agreed with the Northern Expedition, but it should be controllable, it can be advanced or retreated, and it can be released and collected. ”

"This Han Zhong doubts His Majesty's heart!" Liu Zhiyuan has always been favored and invited by the Son of Heaven to preside over the Northern Expedition. Han Zhong's sudden change of position can reduce the turmoil in the court and make the Northern Expedition with the greatest force for the Son of Heaven, which is not a better choice.

For Liu Zhiyuan, this result is quite unsatisfactory.

"If you are not punished, how should future generations judge me?" Liu Zhiyuan desperately asked the Son of Heaven to send Lang Wei to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion and capture Han Zhong, the Son of Heaven originally intended to move, but as soon as Han Zhong arrived, the original resolute attitude of the Son of Heaven began to blur and waver.

Today's Chongde Emperor attaches the most importance to his own reputation in later generations, he is eager to succeed, is to obtain a "master of Zhongxing" reputation, in the history books of later generations, can be like Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Tang Zhixianzong, to create a situation of Zhongxing in the Great Wei Dynasty, and become the Zhongxing Emperor worshiped by the descendants of later generations.

Punish the prime minister for not teaching, and the emperor in the capital sent his own soldiers to surround the prime minister's mansion, which is really a humiliating thing, making it difficult for the Son of Heaven to make up his mind to do such a thing.

"If Han Zhong supports Xu Zixian or Xu Zicheng as the reserve, and there is the right minister agreeing and cooperating, Your Majesty is in danger." Liu Zhiyuan warned again: "Your Majesty must not hesitate, such a major matter must not be taken lightly. ”

The Son of Heaven hesitated again and again, but still couldn't make up his mind, Liu Zhiyuan asked for a single pair, when he mentioned this, the Son of Heaven was shocked, and quickly summoned the guard, Lang Zhongling, Lang Zhongling entered the east gate, and at the same time ordered the courtyard to be locked, so that the news could not go out for half a sentence.

By the evening, Han Zhong was on duty normally, and at the same time sent in a note in favor of the Northern Expedition.

Although Xu Xiashang, the right minister, opposed Han Zhong's evaluation of Xu Zixian, believing that Nan'an's military exploits were true, and Lin Douyao and Han Bingzhong were derelict in their duties, they also agreed that Xu Zixian had made outstanding achievements in the war and returned to Fujian, but only said that Xu Zixian had made outstanding achievements in the war and was a rare talent in the clan, and should be taken seriously and given a high-ranking official position, so that the clans in the world would have an upward heart.

The addition of the notes and the records of the hall made the Son of Heaven even more hesitant in his heart.
