Chapter 456: The wicked man still let Dong Zhuo do it
Because Liu Yu is by his side. Zhao Xing was worried that his eldest son, who was "full of guts", would say more earth-shattering words, so he walked a few quick steps and came to a gazebo in the back garden.
A few boys who were talking, when they heard the sound of footsteps, they consciously closed their mouths, and then turned their heads to look, and found that it was Zhao Xing who came, so they got up and waited in the pavilion, just waiting for Zhao Xing to salute him when he approached.
Everyone is not mistaken, it is indeed the King of Jin and the four princes who saluted Zhao Xing first. The rules of the royal family are invalid in front of Zhao Xing.
Liu Rong first bowed down and saluted Zhao Xing: "I've seen Master Taifu, I've seen Uncle Huang!"
Then Liu Qian also saluted Zhao Xing like his brother, and as for Zhao Zhenbang, he slipped his head. He first performed the etiquette of the juniors to Liu Yu to meet the elders, and then came to pester Zhao Xing with a smile, asking when he would leave for Xiliang, and he didn't know what thoughts were hidden in his purring eyes.
The gazebo is quite large, and twenty or thirty people can sit around the porch chairs. So everyone sat down casually, with their own eyes and quick hands, and sent a few cups of tea and some snacks such as preserved fruits.
Because Zhao Xingping Suri and Liu Rong get along so loosely, so the atmosphere in the pavilion is not depressing, Zhao Xing told a few curious children about their journey north to Danhan Mountain, when it comes to Bu Dugen was killed in the desert by a tiger from the mountain, several children are very excited, and they are very enjoyable to listen to.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Xing led the topic to the right path. He asked Liu Qian kindly: "Qian'er, I happened to hear a few of your children talking when I came here, and I heard you say that you don't want to go back to Xiliang, why?"
Liu Qian saw that Zhao Xing didn't mean to blame him, so he said truthfully: "The child has been locked in the secret room in the mountains by Dong Zhuo for a year, looking forward to seeing the light again every day, and living carefree with his brother, as soon as he heard that he was going to return to Xiliang, he was inexplicably frightened and scared. ”
Zhao Xing nodded, expressing his understanding of Liu Qian's feelings, and then said: "I have already told your brother that in the future, he can ride a horse to Liangzhou to play with you during the holidays, and Zhenbang will often take his younger brothers and sisters to play with you." After everything in Xiliang is stable, you can also come to Jinyang and Crouching Tiger City to play. ”
After listening to Zhao Xing's words, Liu Qian said happily: "When Master Taifu said this, the child felt a lot better, and everything was done according to Taifu's instructions. ”
Looking at the conversation between the two, it seems that Lao Tzu and his son are talking heart-to-heart. Zhao Xing calmly accepted Liu Qian's overtures, Liu Qian was also a child, more well-behaved than in front of Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty.
After chattering with the two princes for a while, Zhao Xing and Liu Yu left the Jin Palace, and set off to return to Crouching Tiger City.
Sitting in the carriage on the way back, Liu Yu finally couldn't help but ask Zhao Xing: "At that time, the third prince of Jin was crowned king, and it had taken a lot of time to ask for it from the imperial court. Now, how can the imperial court make the fourth prince the king of Liang again?"
Since Zhao Xing is planning to make Liu Qian the king in Liangzhou, he must have specific plans and plans in his heart. Seeing that Liu Yu was asking, he didn't hide it, so he confessed his thoughts to Liu Yu.
Zhao Xing said: "Brother Bo'an's question is very serious, if we let the court know that we have controlled Liangzhou and Dong Zhuo, everyone in the court will naturally do everything possible to obstruct the matter of sealing the king. Therefore, the matter of asking for the throne from the imperial court has to be carried out in the name of Dong Zhuo. What Zhao Xing meant by this was that Dong Zhuo would bear the burden of what made the court angry.
Liu Yu asked again: "Dong Zhuo's strength has declined greatly since the defeat of Gao Nu, and now the news of the defeat of Gu Zang is estimated to have reached Luoyang, and his voice has become weak, how can the court agree when he sees it?" Liu Yu means that Dong Zhuo has been disabled by you and Ma Teng, if he argues with the court, isn't he looking for excitement?
"Naturally, the court will not agree, but it doesn't matter. After Dong Zhuo was on the table, as soon as the court became angry, we pretended to attack Dong Zhuo under the slogan of contributing to the court. The result was naturally a great victory for our side, and the army actually controlled Liangzhou. At this time, how do you think the imperial court will feel?" Zhao Xing asked Liu Yu with a sly smile.
Liu Yu pondered for a moment and replied, "The imperial court will definitely be worried that the Jin State has annexed Liangzhou. ”
Zhao Xing nodded, agreed with Liu Yu's analysis, and then said: "That's true! At that time, I will let Ma Teng jump out again, and the court will express its willingness to support Liu Qian as the king of Liang, and ask the Jin army to leave Liangzhou, what choice will the court make at this time?"
"The lesser of two evils, compared to the annexation of Liangzhou by the Jin State, the imperial court is more willing to see the rise of Ma Teng's forces in Liangzhou to restrain the expansion of the Jin State. Liu Yu showed such an expression and nodded and said. "Now I understand why you ignored Ma Teng's feelings at that time, and insisted that the Dingyuan Army secretly escort Dong Zhuo and the defeated generals back to Di Dao, it turns out that you want Dong Zhuo to be a scapegoat!"
Zhao Xing turned a blind eye to Liu Yu's complicated eyes, and said with a smile: "Anyway, that Dong Fatman's reputation in the court has never been very good, and it is only a little worse than me.
Liu Yu understands the word "turning waste into treasure", but he doesn't understand "recycling".
"Did Guochang ever think that if Ma Teng became Dong Zhuo's second, wouldn't the Jin Kingdom pick up a stone and hit himself in the foot?" Liu Yu kindly reminded Zhao Xing that because of the disappearance of Dong Zhuo's forces, Ma Teng might sit in Xiliang in the future and become the opponent of the Jin State in the end.
Zhao Xing pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "Brother Bo'an's concern is reasonable. For Xiliang Ma Teng, I can't put all my heart at ease. However, there is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people, although now that Jin Guo has chosen to believe in Ma Teng, then listen to his words and watch his deeds, and do not do anything that may cause Ma Teng's suspicion for the time being. If the situation really reaches that point in the future, what can we fear? I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers under my command, and there are many fierce generals with good plans, not to mention that if you destroy him and Ma Teng, it will be the entire Han Dynasty, who can be the enemy?"
Liu Yu saw Zhao Xing's confident expression of swallowing mountains and rivers, and he was also very admiring in his heart, and said in his mouth: "As long as you are more vigilant and beat Ma Teng from time to time, he must be afraid of your thunderous methods, and he will not dare to do anything out of bounds." ”
Zhao Xing thought for a while, as if he thought of some people and things, and said: "As long as Ma Teng's children are controlled, he should be able to dispel his idea of separating the northwest." What needs to be guarded against the most is that some people with intentions are fanning the flames behind their backs and plotting against them!"
Finally, Liu Yu asked Zhao Xing: "What else do I need to pay attention to when I go to Liangzhou?"
Zhao Xing replied: "Brother Bo'an is going to Liangzhou, and he has a long way to go. Liangzhou has been a land of bitter cold since ancient times, and the people often do not have enough to eat, and they have to suffer from the scourge of foreign races repeatedly, and I hope that after you arrive in Liangzhou, you will be able to change the heavens and the earth, so that the people of Liangzhou can live and work in peace and contentment, and live a happy life without worrying about food and clothing! In Liangzhou, I will deploy at least two full-strength armies and elite troops of 40,000 to 50,000 people to serve as the staunch backing of the palace to deal with all kinds of emergencies! In addition, the county and county officials sent to Liangzhou will also select the best of the best and appoint the most effective group of officials to go to Liangzhou to open up."
After listening to Zhao Xing's expectations and arrangements, Liu Yu was full of confidence and said with pride: "As long as it is for the well-being of the people of the world, even if it is a lot of hardship, Yu will not give up!"
