"You... Swear black is white.! Xia Yanqi's fingers trembled a little, "If we don't recover the Hetao, we will always be in a passive position, allowing the northern captives to be on the border, but if we recover the Hetao, we will be able to occupy the initiative in the strategic position, and when the time comes, like Taizu and Chengzu period, we will expel the northern captives and include the land of Mobei in the territory of our dynasty, it is not impossible!" ”

In fact, Xia Yan also knew in his heart that as long as the Mongols were a little stronger, they would never give up the competition for the Hetao region, because the Hetao region was too important to them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but the reason why the Hetao was constantly lost in the past was because the previous emperors were mediocre, which led to the decline of national strength and the sluggishness of side affairs, but these words could not be said on the surface.

And in Zhu Houxi's dynasty, the Hetao area was also in the hands of the Mongols. If you say this, wouldn't you scold Zhu Houxi? However, if you give up recovering the Hetao for fear of causing border trouble, you will really be choking on food. Because as the Mongols grew in strength, they had to watch for more than just a loop, and the chaos at that time would be regrettable.

"Lord Xia, the recovery of the Mobei region, such a major event has not even been completely completed by Taizu Chengzu, how can a small Zeng Mill be completed? Could it be that Lord Cheng Xia thinks that Taizu Chengzu is not as good as a little Zeng Mill? Yan Song looked at Xia Yan with a sneer, and a mocking look was written on his face.

He knew that what he said really didn't make sense, but he brought Taizu Chengzu out to suppress Xia Yan, Xia Yan was now angry, and he would definitely be irrefutable in a short period of time, and he had nothing to say. The most important thing is that Xia Yan must be angry now, and even a little out of his mind, and this has achieved his goal.

"Yan Song, you... You're a villain! Xia Yan was so angry that he couldn't say anything, "Don't be alarmist here and confuse the saint!" ”

"Lord Xia, why are you belittled me in front of the Holy Lord?" , Yan Song's face was disdainful, "I'm just planning for the court, for the saint, Lord Xia has also seen it, Zeng Milling has caused a fire in the palace, is it possible that Lord Xia still wants His Majesty to suffer a greater disaster?" Could it be that Lord Xia wants a fire to be burned to the West Garden? ”

When Xia Yan heard Yan Song say this, he couldn't help but tremble with anger: "Nonsense, what does the fire in Ouchi have to do with recovering the Hetao, don't talk about it here!" ”

Xia Yan was already angry at what Yan Song said just now, but now that Yan Song linked the fire in Ouchi with the recovery of the Hetao, Xia Yan was even more angry.

Originally, he was extremely disgusted with ghosts and gods, and Yan Song talked about this matter in front of the superstitious Zhu Houyu, obviously wanting to use Zhu Houyu to suppress himself, which was really despicable.

"What nonsense! Yan Aiqing doesn't understand, doesn't Mr. Zhongwen understand either? Zhu Houxi stared at Xia Yan a little viciously, with a little anger in his eyes, "I have already calculated with Mr. Zhongwen, the fire in Ouchi was indeed caused by Zeng Miao's unauthorized provocation, could it be that because you Xia Yan insisted on repeating it, others couldn't raise objections?" ”

Xia Yan couldn't help but be startled when he heard what Zhu Houxi said. The first is for Zhu Houxi's naked rebuke of himself, remembering that since he returned to the dynasty this time, he has been cautious, and he has never provoked Zhu Houxi to be so angry. Second, because of Tao Zhongwen's intervention in this matter, he didn't expect Tao Zhongwen to be willing to be involved and take such a big political risk, you must know that if he fails, the prestige he Tao Zhongwen has established will disappear without a trace, and Zhu Houxi's attitude towards him is naturally self-evident.

In this way, there is only one answer, that is, Yan Song promised Tao Zhongwen a lot of benefits, and they have already made a political alliance.

"Lord Xia, what I said naturally doesn't count, but Immortal Master Zhongwen's words have to attract our attention, I think if it wasn't for Immortal Master Zhongwen's prediction of a fire in the palace, how could it be...", Yan Song began to talk about Tao Zhongwen's "magical" things on weekdays, not for anything else, just to make Zhu Houxi believe in Tao Zhongwen's words more, just to arouse greater anger in Xia Yan's heart.

"It's just that a Taoist priest occasionally happens to guess one or two things correctly, what's so strange?" , Xia Yan didn't have a good impression of Tao Zhongwen, but now when he mentions Tao Zhongwen, he gritted his teeth with hatred, "It's just a matter of pretending to be a ghost on weekdays, where is it his turn to intervene in national affairs!" ”

"Presumptuous!" , Zhu Houxi was already upset when he heard Xia Yan and Yan Song arguing just now, but now Xia Yan first spoke disrespectfully to Yan Song in front of him, and then slandered Tao Zhongwen, and now he secretly mocked himself in his words.

Although he knew that Xia Yan didn't have the courage to say himself, but his words just now were obviously like mocking himself for being superstitious and cultivating, abusing traitors, and making him sound very uncomfortable, so the anger in his heart broke out together, "Mr. Zhongwen has been awarded the title of Guanglu Doctor Zhuguo by I, and he has been given the title of "real person", how can he not discuss the major affairs of the court and politics, is it possible that this matter in the court can only be said by you Xia Yan alone!" ”

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister is guilty!" , Xia Yan listened to Zhu Houxi's fierce reprimand, and was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down, "The minister is just... I'm just afraid of Your Majesty...", Xia Yan didn't dare to say anything like "being confused by villains" at this time, but he really didn't have anything else to say.

"Your Majesty, Lord Xia may be a meritorious person." , Yan Song was already overjoyed when he saw this scene at this time, but he had to pretend to be calm, "I heard that Lord Xia's father-in-law, Su Gang, has always been good friends with Zeng Miao, presumably Lord Xia wants to take this opportunity to establish a hundred generations of meritorious deeds with Zeng Miao..."

"Yan Song, don't spew blood!" Originally, Xia Yan didn't want to argue with Yan Song anymore in the face of this situation. But Yan Song actually talked about his personal relationship with Zeng Miao, you must know that the most taboo thing for the emperor is the private interaction between the important ministers of the court and the border generals, although Yan Song's tone was calm, he obviously wanted to put himself to death, "In front of the saint, how can you slander me like this!" ”

"Lord Xia, I didn't slander you, isn't what I said the truth?" , Yan Song's confidence is getting stronger and stronger, "You don't want me to say this when I say this, and you still don't let me say it when I say about the border pass, so what else can I say?" ”

"Why didn't you speak when we were discussing the reconquest of the Loop?" , Xia Yan now fully understands Yan Song's intentions, and can't help but secretly cry out for being fooled, so he is ready to expose all Yan Song's intentions in front of Zhu Houxi, "Yan Song, you didn't say anything at the beginning, but now you are strongly opposing, what is your intention?" ”

"Is it because I don't want to talk?" , Yan Song sneered, "It's not my turn to speak at all, since you returned to the court, when have you ever asked me to touch the pen of the ticket?" ”

"You...", Xia Yan wanted to expose Yan Song's conspiracy, but he didn't expect to be bitten back by Yan Song, and he couldn't help but be angry.

"Enough! Say no more! Zhu Houxi pointed at Xia Yan angrily, "Is this your family's court?" He didn't even allow anyone to speak! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean that...", Xia Yan was secretly scared in his heart at this time, he knew that he must be in a catastrophe this time.

"Powerful monarch threatens the people, get out of here immediately!" , Zhu Houxi yelled, shaking his body a little.

"Your Majesty, I...", Xia Yan was still trying to justify something.

"Don't give me back yet! Do you want to do it again last time? Do you have to give me a decree before you want to leave? Zhu Houxi slapped the table angrily, and the anger that he had disrespected Xia Yan before burst out together.

"I...", Xia Yan didn't expect Zhu Houyu to remember the old grudge of "Xiangye Guan", and he couldn't help but feel angry and funny, but now he understands that it is useless for him to say more, so he can only wait quietly for Zhu Houyi's arrangement for him.

"Get out! Get the hell out of here! At this time, "new hatreds and old grudges" burst out together, which made Zhu Houxi get angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, and "bang" suddenly pushed all the things on the imperial case to the ground.

There was silence in the main hall, and a haze was projected through the doors and windows onto Xia Yan's pale and wrinkled face... (To be continued.) )
