Youzhou, Zhao Wangfu.

Looking at Murong Xiyue, who was sitting quietly in the back garden and silently looking at the pond under the breeze, Zhao Xun shook his head and was speechless. Ever since learning about the situation of the court and the situation of her sisters, Murong Xiyue has been silent and stands alone all day.

"Princess Yuzuki!"

"Ah......" Murong Xiyue seemed to be like a frightened bird, and suddenly panicked, and then saw that it was Zhao Xun, and then calmed down, and said: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Zhao, Xiyue pondered the past, and did not pay attention to the arrival of King Zhao......"

Zhao Xun waved his hand, and after sitting down, he said, "Princess Xiyue, there is no need to do this. The deceased is gone, why should Her Royal Highness the princess forget it. The fact that the living are alive is what we need to pay attention to. By the way, in the Central Plains, Murong Cheng, the king of Qi, has already raised his banner to crusade, and the rest of the major princes have responded together. At this moment, the army has gathered in the land of Yuzhou, waiting for the attack on Situ Lei. In comparison, it won't be long before Situ Lei will have to pay for what he has done. ”

Murong Xiyue's pale face remained unchanged, the tassel on her forehead swayed slightly with the breeze, and after a while, she said slowly: "Crusade against Situ Lei? How many people in the world are sincere? ”

Zhao Xun was silent, and he had nothing to say about it. Not to mention anything else, even he Zhao Xun is not living for Dayan.

After a while, Murong Xiyue, who was silent, smiled and said, "King Zhao doesn't need to call me Princess Xiyue anymore, my father is dead, I am not a princess anymore, you can call me Xiyue directly in the future." Xiyue can be rescued by King Zhao, it's really because of me. As for national affairs, the war in the world has nothing to do with me. ”

Zhao Xun said in a condensed voice: "No matter what, the first emperor still hopes that Her Royal Highness the princess will live well, and will not look at his daughter like this...... In this way, Xiyue, since you live in the house, don't be alone and in a remote place. Li'er and Ziyan also hope that Xiyue can cheer up. ”

"Thank you King Zhao, Xiyue has been much easier, in the future, I will live well for myself." Murong Xiyue said softly, and between her faces, the ruddy color gradually revealed.

…………

Yang Zhai, the land of the coalition forces.

Tang Bin and Meng Zhao finally arrived here and also met Li Chi, the commander of the Xuzhou Army. The two of them didn't see anything from Li Chi's expressionless face, and for Murong Cheng, the two saw a little excitement. As for what to be excited about, naturally needless to say, attack Situ Lei, enter Luoyang, and replace it. The throne of the emperor is not wanted, and there is no one who does not yearn for. This is the third time that the generals have been gathered, and the first few times have been regarded as arranging some of the affairs of the generals.

"Tang Bin, the commander of the Shanyang Army, why didn't the governor of your family come here?" Murong Cheng asked in a deep voice, this was also the first time that Murong Cheng was facing other princes and generals in the tent.

Tang Bin said in a deep voice: "My lord has just replaced the army of Yanzhou Prefecture, and after a year of hard fighting, the people of all the prefectures in Yanzhou have been miserable, displaced, the fields are barren, and the city and water conservancy have been in disrepair for a long time. The governor of my family did not want the people to become homeless and bandits again, so he personally sought a way for the people to live in the local area. ”

Murong Cheng said in a condensed voice: "According to what you said, your family governor doesn't seem to take this coalition expedition into account, right?" Is it true that the people of a state are more important than the people of the whole world? As he spoke, Murong Cheng's tone became heavier and heavier.

Tang Bin said coldly: "Of course not, but my family has said it." In its position to seek its own government, not in its position, not to seek its government. The governor of my family is in charge of commanding the affairs of the entire territory of Yanzhou, and for him, the life and death of the people of the entire Yanzhou land is of paramount importance. As for the rest, the time is secondary. ”

"Of course, the most important thing is that since the King of Qi is here, the Governor of my family is already very relieved about the coalition army's conquest of Situ Lei. He believed that under the leadership of His Royal Highness King Qi, this conquest was no longer a problem. ”

Murong Cheng said coldly: "Well, the words are good. However, the governor of your Shanyang Army still doesn't seem to have the people of the world in your eyes. The governor of Yanzhou is only responsible for military affairs, and as for government affairs, there are naturally civilian officials in charge. ”

Tang Bin saw that Murong Cheng was becoming more and more excessive, and he also responded coldly: "Of course, my family governor also wants to be in charge of the military affairs of Yanzhou. However, in the southern part of Yanzhou, it was wantonly stationed by the army of His Royal Highness the King of Qi and did not obey the order. So, my Governor turned to government affairs. ”

Murong Cheng's face turned cold, and he said angrily: "General Tang, what do you mean by this?" Is it blaming the governor of Pontus for not stationing his army in Yanzhou? ”

Tang Bin sneered: "Don't dare, why was it stationed in the past, I don't want to say more." The Yanzhou government army took the lead in the conquest, and I don't want to say more. But now, the Yanzhou government army has been replaced by our Shanyang army, so it is not in accordance with the rules for any other army to be stationed in my Yanzhou land. His Royal Highness King Qi, what do you say? If the Xuzhou army is stationed in Yangzhou, His Royal Highness the King of Qi is also unwilling, right? As he spoke, Tang Bin looked at Li Yu of the Xuzhou Army. He added, "The land of Xuzhou is also reluctant to garrison His Royal Highness King Qi's army, isn't it?" ”

"Bold, this king stationed his army on the south side of the land of Yanzhou for the purpose of crusading against Situ Lei, not for personal gain. Do you mean what Tang Bin means, or do you all mean Li Feng? Murong Cheng said angrily.

Tang Bin said in a deep voice: "It's the meaning of my Shanyang Army as a whole, does His Royal Highness the King of Qi think that my Shanyang Army can't afford to be responsible for the conquest of Situ Lei?" Even so, there is no need to take over local government affairs. By the way, the Xiaoguo army in the north has also talked to the governor of my family about this matter many times, saying that His Royal Highness the King of Qi is not righteous. ”

Hearing this, Murong Cheng's face turned gloomy. The other party's words were clearly threatening him. But he really couldn't say anything more.

The atmosphere in this hall was, for a while, tense and awkward. After a while, Li Yu said: "General Tang or Li Dudu misunderstood, I think that the Wuwei army is stationed in the southern part of Yanzhou in order to target Situ Lei and guard against the Yanzhou army. In the past, Xu Jie obeyed Situ Lei's orders, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi was forced to do so. After all, it was only a few months before Li Dudu's Shanyang Army replaced Xu Jie. ”

Tang Bin saw that the matter had been said about the same, and also gave Murong Cheng a warning. Naturally, he won't say much, otherwise, he will definitely have a good talk with this Li Yu. At the beginning, it was not only Xu Jie, but also your Xuzhou army.

Hundreds of thousands of troops carried out a ritual of sacrificing to the sky in Yangzhai, and then the whole army was divided, and the army was divided into two and pressed towards Yongzhou.

In Yanzhou City, Feng Ziming also received an envoy from the south. This person is not another force, it is really from Murong Cheng who fought against Tang Bin.

Because Tang Bin and Meng Zhao came together that day, they didn't have any special expressions for themselves. Murong Cheng was very dissatisfied with this. Therefore, he is ready to give the two of them a downfall, letting them know that here, it is himself who is in charge, not their petty princes.

The result was not as smooth as Murong Cheng expected, and the demonstration of the Shanyang army commander suffered a setback. If it was just a frustration of words, it wouldn't worry him, but what the other party revealed made him have to be careful. So much so that he did not continue to attack Meng Zhao of the Tang Army, that is to say, Meng Zhao took advantage of it.

After Murong Cheng returned to the Inner Mansion, he discussed with Zhang Tu and others the deep meaning of what Tang Bin said. Later, it was concluded that the other party was suing them that if the Shanyang army was forced to be in a hurry, the Shanyang army would accept the rule of the Xiaoguo army. This conclusion can't help but worry Murong Cheng. Subsequently, Murong Cheng decided to send an envoy to talk to the governor of the Shanyang army again, trying to keep the other party in his camp.

"Lord Feng, is Governor Li here?" As an envoy, Zhang Tu naturally wants to see the person who is in charge of the Shanyang Army. After all, in his opinion, the decision made by Li Feng was much more useful than Feng Ziming. The negotiation between the two is also much more straightforward.

Feng Ziming said with a smile: "My family governor is patrolling around and going to various towns and villages, to be honest, even I can't figure out which township the adults are in now." However, I can also handle some government affairs. If it's a matter of military affairs, then I can only wait for my family to return and deal with it. However, I don't think there were any surprises in the crusade, so what Lord Zhang came to discuss was not an emergency military situation. But it doesn't hurt to speak, if I can make a decision, I can make a decision, and if not, I will immediately invite the governor of my family to come. ”

Zhang Tu sighed secretly, this Feng Ziming is not a simple person. What is the ability to make decisions and what cannot be decided. There is no standard for this thing. He believes that the other party can have two choices for any question, and there is no certain answer.

Zhang Tu had no choice but to communicate with Feng Ziming: "What does Lord Feng think of this coalition crusade against Situ Lei? ”

Feng Ziming said with a smile: "What is there to say about this, Situ Lei rebelled and killed the king, intended to rebel, colluded with foreign clans, and deserved to kill the nine clans." This alliance of princes will definitely be able to sweep away villains like Situ Lei. ”

"So, what does Lord Feng think about the problem after sweeping away Situ Lei?" Zhang Tu asked in a deep voice.

Feng Ziming paused slightly, and said with a smile: "In the future, the future affairs will be the affairs of the royal family and the affairs of the civil and military officials, which has nothing to do with me." Who will be the emperor in the future and who will command the civil and military officials, these are not things that I can judge. However, if you want to stabilize the imperial court, these princes who sent troops to fight against Situ Lei can't help but settle them. They are all meritorious heroes. Of course, these are all things that His Royal Highness King Qi and His Royal Highness King Zhao are the main things, so we can naturally take some light in the back. ”

Zhang Tu's face remained unchanged, he scolded secretly in his heart, and after talking for a long time, he still compared his master with Zhao Wang Zhao Xun. Although the two were not placed on the throne, the other party also placed the two in the same position. In other words, if Murong Cheng wants to take over the throne, then King Zhao is also on a par with Murong Cheng. In this way, it is naturally impossible. In other words, if you don't get it right, the emperor is still the little emperor at the moment, and King Qi and King Zhao are neck and neck. However, this is not what Murong Cheng wants.

Zhang Tu said slowly: "Lord Feng, do you know which of the two kings you Li Dudu prefers in your heart?" Lord Feng, you should understand what I mean, this matter is very critical, and it has a great impact on Li Dudu. ”

Feng Ziming said: "Since Lord Zhang asked so, I won't open my mouth indiscriminately, let's say so, my family governor treats the two princes equally." But now my land of Yanzhou needs to trade with His Royal Highness King Zhao, so ...... These, presumably Lord Zhao should know, I believe that even His Royal Highness King Qi also knows this very well. ”

Zhang Tu said in a deep voice: "In this way, Li Dudu supports His Royal Highness King Zhao more?" ”

Feng Ziming said slowly: "If you go under the current situation, maybe, maybe yes, but I can't say anything about this matter, after all, I am not Lord Dudu." What the Governor thinks, I'm not sure. ”

Zhang Tu scolded secretly in his heart, he had long known that Feng Ziming would have these problems when he spoke here instead of Li Feng, but he could only do so. After all, the governor of the Shanyang army is not in Yanzhou City, which is already a fact, not only the people know it, but even his spies of the King of Qi also know it. The governor of the Shanyang military used to patrol around and guide the local people's livelihood.

Zhang Tu said: "Speaking of which, in the past, the prince of my family also had dealings with Li Dudu, presumably, Lord Feng also knew. ”

Feng Ziming said lightly: "I know this, but the king of Qi later sent someone to ask my Shanyang army for the money and food it provided, so I ......"

Zhang Tu's face froze, and he said, "Those things are not the intention of King Qi. The messenger who came to ask for money and food has now been executed. My lord, I hope to rebuild relations with Li Dudu, I don't know ......"

Feng Ziming said in a condensed voice: "Master Zhang, let's not beat around the bush, let's go straight." What does His Royal Highness King Qi want my Shanyang Army to do, and what can you give me the Shanyang Army? ”
