Hearing Liu Xiu's urging, Fang Zhenyao hurriedly nodded, as if when he lowered his head, inadvertently, his eyes glanced behind Liu Xiu, and when others couldn't see it, a trace of inexplicable meaning flashed in his eyes, but soon he turned his head away, his face was as usual, and he said to the ministers:

"All the pavilion elders know that Beiyan is my enemy for many generations to defend the country, there is a deep enmity between the two countries, and the people hate each other, even if Liu Hongwen wants to rebel against the imperial court and there is a shortage of soldiers and food, he does not dare to collude with Beiyan, for fear that the matter will be exposed, the people will be centrifuged, fall into a land of no return, and bear the infamy of the ages, and the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, because of this, you pavilion elders also know a lot about the situation in Yan State, and they also know a lot about the past affairs of Yan Emperor Murong Dan."

After speaking, he paused, looked at the ministers, and watched their reactions.

After hearing this, everyone frowned, and after whispering to each other, Su Ze stepped forward and replied:

"Yes, as far as the old minister knows, when Murong Dan was on the crown prince's throne, he was once called the 'mentally handicapped prince', although Emperor Murong Ke often said that he was very diligent and ambitious to do something big, but his wisdom was not bad, not only did he not know anything about government affairs, but even daily human relations were difficult to do, so that in the end, even Emperor Murong Ke lost patience and wanted to re-elect an heir in the royal family and set up another prince."

Fang Zhenyao smiled after hearing this, subconsciously walked a few steps on the main hall with his hands in his hands, looked at everyone, and replied:

"What Su Xiang said is extremely true, but although Murong Ke has the heart of abolishing the crown prince, but in fact, he has encountered considerable resistance, and it is rare for all the feudal towns to work together on this issue, and even wrote together to ask the emperor to retract his order, and said that Murong Dan is the only bloodline of the emperor, how can he abandon it, and although the prince ascends the throne, he is not as wise and martial as His Majesty, but he is determined to be a generous and benevolent king, although the empire is prosperous, but in recent years, natural disasters and military disasters have continued, and it is necessary to recuperate, I also hope that His Majesty will think twice. ”

He glanced at Su Ze, then turned his gaze to all the ministers in the hall, and continued after a moment:

"Murong Ke was already hesitant about the abolition of the crown prince, and the feudal towns were powerful, so they persuaded him to be honest, and finally Murong Ke and the feudal towns of Yan Kingdom took this opportunity to temporarily unite and attack and defend in the south, which was the 'Pingyan War' half a year ago."

After listening to this, everyone thought about Fang Zhenyao's words repeatedly, and discussed them with each other, and they all felt that it was very reasonable, and they all nodded yes.

Seeing this, Fang Zhenyao smiled slightly, and was about to continue, but he heard Li Baoliang among the ministers suddenly open his mouth and asked:

"Dare to ask Lord Fang what he said so much, what does it have to do with you preventing His Highness from becoming a country?"

He didn't wait for Fang Zhenyao to answer, shook his head, and continued:

"Let's talk about the affairs of the Northern Yan State, my lords, the old man thinks that the Northern Expedition to the Yan Kingdom is an opportunity now, please see, the feudal town is trying to protect Murong Dan just to use him as a puppet and consolidate his power, now that Murong Ke is dead, Murong Dan succeeds to the throne, and the feudal towns are pouring power from each other, this is a golden opportunity for the defense of the country and even the Han Dynasty, we should take advantage of the chaos in his country to raise troops and take him by surprise, even if he can't overthrow his country, he can also strengthen the prestige of the Han Dynasty!"

As soon as the words fell, he felt a gaze shooting from above the high hall, his gaze was like a knife, and there was a hidden pain in his skin, Li Baoliang subconsciously turned his head to look, but he didn't see anything.

But faintly, he also saw that in the dark, there was a shadow pestle behind Liu Xiu, he was shocked, and couldn't help but guess, who would be the person behind him? Why do you have such a grudge against him?

The thoughts in his mind turned sharply, but he couldn't think of a reason for a long time, just when he was thinking nonsense, he suddenly felt someone around him pulling his clothes, he was shocked, and hurriedly looked up, only to see everyone's eyes looking at him, Fang Zhenyao in front of him with a smile, looked at him and said:

"At this time, in Lord Li's heart, I am afraid that Beiyan should destroy the country several times!"

After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, Li Baoliang's face instantly turned red, he didn't say anything for a long time, he lowered his head and was silent, but he was still thinking in his heart about the blade-like gaze that looked at him, who could it be?

Seeing that he was silent, Fang Zhenyao smiled slightly, took Li Baoliang's question and replied:

"What Master Li said is extremely true, according to the current situation, the Northern Expedition to Yan is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but that was half a year ago, and now it is a little late to counterattack Yan Kingdom."

After a pause, he looked back at the ministers, and when he saw that they were all listening intently, he nodded, and continued:

"Because from the current form, Murong Dan is not stupid, but extremely terrifying, he is not as stupid as rumored, it is really unfathomable."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a boulder thrown into the river, and the calm river was broken in an instant, rippling and chaotic, and even Liu Xiu's eyes were rippling, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

After a while, Su Zecai coughed lightly, signaled everyone to be quiet, and the hundred officials gradually quieted down, turned around and confessed to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu nodded, waved his hand and said:

"Don't get in the way, Fang Zhenyao, you go on."

After hearing this, Fang Zhenyao nodded, saluted, turned to the hundred officials and continued:

"'Pingyan War', Emperor Murong Ke died in battle, and after the crown prince Murong Dan succeeded to the throne, the forces of all feudal towns in Yan State secretly played, and the eunuchs around Murong Dan, and even several powerful feudal town generals, directly entered the capital of Yan State, openly fighting for power, in a vain attempt to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but just when they were playing in the capital and secretly competing, with the issuance of several decrees by Murong Dan, they suddenly found that Murong Dan, who was once familiar, was that' The mentally handicapped emperor', as if he had changed overnight, was dignified and decisive, and no longer had the slightest stupid appearance back then. ”

Su Ze frowned, obviously unable to figure out that this was the result, he quietly turned his head to look at Liu Xiu, who had been sitting on the chair with an expressionless face, and suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.

It seems that Liu Xiu and Murong Dan, who are thousands of miles away, have something in common.

Do all emperors have this kind of bearing and ability to cultivate obscurity?

Wei Wang Liu Hongwen is too far away from them, it is simply incomparable, is the path he is about to take in the future right or wrong?

Just as he was pondering, he only heard Li Baoliang ask Fang Zhenyao:

"Is this what he is? Murong Dan before was all pretended? ”

Fang Zhenyao's face remained unchanged, he looked at Li Baoliang with a smile, and replied:

"Yes, Murong Dan has endured for more than 20 years, just for today, and because he is stupid on weekdays, others don't pay attention to him, so he also has the energy and time to make a lot of preparations in secret, and finally when several powerful ministers gathered in the capital, with iron and blood, thunder, they were all arrested, listed the crimes, and all of them were executed, and assigned cronies and officials to resist the feudal towns and offices on the same day under the escort of soldiers. The rest of the feudal towns knew that they were invincible, and they fell in the hope of the wind, and occasionally some people rebelled, and they were quickly suppressed, and the 'feudal town separation' that had plagued the Yan Kingdom for more than a hundred years was solved by the former 'mentally handicapped prince' in a very short time. ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and for a while, the huge hall was silent.

Northern Yan is the enemy of the country, the forces of the two countries have always been one and the other, this time the Yan country has the male lord in power, and solved the stubborn disease that has plagued the country for a hundred years, in the face of this situation, how to defend the country?

Everyone looked up at Liu Xiu almost at the same time, their eyes burning, as if they were seeking an answer.

Liu Xiu's eyes flashed when he saw this, but his face was still as usual, his eyes were as deep as water, and he didn't make waves, he nodded to the ministers, looked at Fang Zhenyao, and praised with a smile:

"The observation envoy went deep into the enemy's territory, the information was detailed, and our army was prevented from rashly mobilizing troops, and the Northern Expedition could also be re-planned against Murong Dan, which contributed a lot."

Fang Zhenyao hurriedly humbled himself.

Liu Xiu nodded, suddenly turned his head to Su Ze and said:

"Su Xiang."

Su Ze was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Liu Xiu to open his mouth to call him, and after being stunned for a moment, he walked out of the train quickly, bowed and saluted:

"The old minister is here."

Liu Xiu looked at Su Ze with a smile and said:

"Su Xiang has made great contributions to the matter of 'Liu Hongwen's chaos in the country', and this king has presented an excerpt to his father to explain this matter"

Before the words fell, Su Ze hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, and even said, "I really don't dare to do anything within the minister's office." ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Su Xiang has lived in Dongping for decades, and has been in the officialdom for decades, whether it is the situation in the court or the branch of the Wei Wang, I don't know if Su has his own opinions on the selection of the Wei Wang?"

Su Ze saw that Liu Xiu suddenly reintroduced the topic to the matter of the selection of King Wei, his heart moved, he hesitated for a while, and the matter of the slaughter of the Su family was circling in his mind, but because he had no connection with the branch of King Wei, no matter who was promoted, he had to establish a connection from the beginning, so he groaned slightly, and then saluted and replied:

"Back to His Royal Highness, the old minister thinks that this matter is serious, why don't His Highness temporarily take the title of King Wei, and then make plans after you go to Pingyan."

Almost at the same time as he spoke, he suddenly felt a cold gaze shooting towards him, his body trembled, and he hurriedly looked up, but in the darkness behind Liu Xiu, he couldn't see anything clearly.

But he could feel that there was a man standing there, and looking at it, his heart sank, his brow furrowed, and he lowered his head again, and said no more.

Liu Xiu's eyes flashed after hearing this, and he shook his head and smiled:

"The military situation is urgent, the king doesn't know when he will go to Pingyan City, if the title of King Wei has been empty, in Luojing City, my father will be in a hurry."

Hearing this, everyone was silent for a while.

After a while, Liu Xiu suddenly said with a smile:

"Weiguo is a vassal state of the empire for hundreds of years, although the people are also subjects of the empire, but after all, the customs, customs, calendar, and tax system are also quite different from the empire, so the father will not withdraw the kingdom lightly and set up the state capital, but will arbitrarily assign the prince and brother of Wei to guard the country, so it is not good for the country."

After speaking, he leaned back, waved his hand, stopped everyone from speaking, and said slowly:

"There is a candidate for this king." I1387
