Chapter 761: Northern Kingdom Elegy (5)
"If you want me to say, the people who are making waves in the northwest behind your back should be pulled out and cut down, what do they want to do? It's nothing more than using your banner to satisfy their own selfish desires, and this kind of chaotic thief will one day kill your dog! ”
Liu Yi was still angry, and banged on the table and yelled at Xu Rui.
Xu Rui sneered: "If someone scolds you, your morale is not as good as going out to fight, will you pull your soldiers out and cut them down?" ”
"Of course not!"
Liu Yi came as a matter of course.
Xu Rui shrugged: "Then why did you let me cut them down?" ”
Liu Yi breathed a little, pointed to Xu Rui's head and said, "Is this the same thing?" Little rabbit cub, using your name to claim the king in the northwest behind your back, that is both treason and betrayal of you, and you will be overthrown by them in a few days! ”
Xu Rui sighed and said: "I already have a charter for this matter, and there will definitely be no situation like what you said, not to mention that what happens in the future is a later story, if I don't leave now, I'm afraid that the Holy Lord and the new monarch will not be able to tolerate me, so why stay and cause trouble?" ”
Liu Yi rolled his eyes and said, "If you want to go, you go, anyway, the old man won't go!" ”
Xu Rui persuaded bitterly: "If I leave, you will definitely be angered by the new monarch, how will you survive then?" ”
"The old man doesn't care, anyway, the Liu family has been loyal from generation to generation, and the old man will never be a lackey of treason!"
Liu Yi couldn't say that Xu Rui could do it, so he just played it directly.
Xu Rui was about to persuade again, but he heard a muffled sound in the distance, and he and Liu Yi immediately recognized that it was the sound of cannons, and their faces changed together.
"It's the direction of Miyagi!"
Liu Yi glanced at Xu Rui and said: "It seems that the King of Liao has begun to attack the palace, and the good things you have made up, I don't know how many soldiers will die this time!" ”
Xu Rui smiled bitterly: "Hey, this can't be on my head, if there is no artillery, maybe the Great Wei will die in the first battle in Xichuan......"
Liu Yi knew that Xu Rui was right, but he didn't apologize at all, but put away his anger and asked solemnly: "The King of Liao has jumped over the wall in a hurry, what else do you kid have?" ”
Xu Rui couldn't help but laugh and said: "Under the general trend, what can I do?" It's just to wait for the saint to complete the handover as soon as possible, and then take out the back hand that the old man has been hiding, and quickly clean up the mess. ”
Liu Yi sighed and said: "Although scraping bones to heal injuries is thorough, it is a great harm to the country after all, and the saint is too careful this time." ”
Xu Rui shook his head: "Life and death are fate, even if the saint wants to figure it out this time, I'm afraid he won't have this opportunity." ”
That being said, Xu Rui knew that the life and death of Emperor Hongwei was completely in the hands of the unknown virus, and the person who controlled the virus was likely to be a dark chess.
Emperor Hongwei's sudden illness was obviously arranged by Dark Chess, but until now, Xu Rui still didn't know what King Han was planning all this for.
Because he couldn't guess it, this incident has always made Xu Rui worried.
Perhaps mentioning that Emperor Hongwei was about to pass away, Liu Yi suddenly fell silent, and only let out a long sigh for a long time.
"Yes, times have changed, the old people have gone one by one, and now it is the world of you young people."
Xu Rui was stunned: "Why did you suddenly talk about this?" ”
Liu Yi waved his hand, as if he was a little interested: "Forget it, you can go, don't worry about me, but you have to clean up the mess here before leaving." ”
Xu Rui frowned, and before he could speak, he heard Liu Yi continue: "You really didn't feel sorry for Da Wei, but Da Wei also made you, if it really comes to the time when water and fire are incompatible, I also hope that you can remember the old feelings in the past and don't fall into the trap of Da Wei." ”
Xu Rui frowned: "You don't have to explain this, I understand the reason, Dawei is my home, and I am just running away for self-preservation, and one day I will go home after all." ”
Liu Yiyan nodded with satisfaction: "It's good to have this heart, let's go and deal with the outside affairs first, the chaos in Changxing City, my heart will also be in chaos, I am always afraid that something will go wrong, and the vitality of the whole country will be greatly damaged, so that the Southern Dynasty will have a chance." ”
As he was talking, the butler suddenly knocked on the door and said, "Young Master, the commander of the Jinyi Guard has asked Master Li Kuang Li to see you." ”
Xu Rui was stunned: "Li Kuang? How would he know I'm here? ”
Liu Yi sneered: "Jinyiwei is pervasive, I know where you have something so strange, you go and see him, maybe it will help you." ”
Xu Rui didn't say much when he heard this, nodded and walked towards the outside of the study.
"Wait!"
Just before Xu Rui was about to step out of the door, Liu Yi suddenly stopped him.
Xu Rui paused and looked at Liu Yi.
Liu Yi opened his mouth, as if he had a thousand words, but in the end it turned into a simple sentence: "Little rabbit, you have to take it easy, don't lose your little life, do you hear?" ”
When Xu Rui heard this, a warm current suddenly flowed in his heart, and he couldn't help laughing.
"You're still laughing, Lao Tzu broke your dog's leg!"
Liu Yi frowned, and was about to make a gesture to grab the ring ruler on the table.
Xu Rui made a gesture at Liu Yi, and said solemnly: "Father-in-law, don't worry, the child promises you to properly handle the chaos in Changxing, and then come back to pick you up and leave!" ”
Liu Yi was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Xu Rui in a daze, unable to say a word in his open mouth.
Xu Rui smiled again, and then bowed to Liu Yi and said, "Father-in-law sit down, the child is gone!" ”
With that, Xu Rui straightened up and turned around calmly.
Liu Yi was stunned and watched Xu Rui walk out of the study, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and there were old tears in his eyes.
"Stinky Boy ......"
Liu Yi muttered to himself, but his heart was filled with joy and sorrow, this father-in-law was several years late, and he had been waiting for too long.
Xu Rui and Liu are father and son, and even if they are biological father and son, they may not be closer than them.
As early as when Xu Rui first came to this world, Liu Yi, who had no children in his life, had the heart to accept Xu Rui as his righteous son, and Xu Rui also felt Liu Yi's kindness to him, and always treated Liu Yi and his wife with the attitude of serving his parents.
It was only because of the tragic death of Xu Rui's father-in-law Yang Weiyuan on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang that the status of the father and son was put aside by the two, and they didn't mention it for a long time.
It's as if the things that I thought were hopeless for my life suddenly came to fruition, making Liu Yi instantly feel that everything in the world was no longer important, and he even forgot to refuse Xu Rui's invitation to leave with him again.
After leaving the study, Xu Rui quickly restrained the same surging feelings, but muttered in his heart.
Yuan Zixiong secretly enveloped Xu Rui's forces and sealed the territory in the northwest, which was a taboo that no emperor could tolerate, and it was impossible to lift it high and put it down gently.
After Emperor Hongwei had no news for several days, Xu Rui decided that he was no longer ready, or had no spare energy to solve his problem.
Then there are only two options left for Emperor Hongwei, either simply and rudely get rid of himself, or leave himself to the new monarch to clean up, and with Xu Rui's understanding of Emperor Hongwei, he will never leave the hidden dangers to the new monarch.
Even if you take a step back, even if you wait until the new monarch ascends the throne, you will inevitably not be able to tolerate your own subordinate with too much power, and it will be a matter of time before the relationship breaks down.
Thinking about it, if Xu Rui doesn't want to completely tear his face with Da Wei, there is only one choice, and that is to avoid the edge for the time being.
So Xu Rui decided to help King Yu and King Su finish those tricky affairs, and when the status of the new monarch was established, he would take advantage of the chaos of Changxing to escape and talk about it.
It was precisely because of this that he came to persuade Liu Yi to go with him at the first stop.
It is said that Xu Rui is dressed in disguise this time, and he is traveling lightly, unless someone is watching, it is absolutely impossible to grasp his whereabouts, and he and Li Kuang have already made an appointment to meet in the princess's mansion, why did Li Kuang rush to Liu's mansion?
Xu Rui pondered the mystery of this while coming to the living room, where Li Kuang was waiting with a knife on his waist.
