Han Xizai paced in a panic, shook his head and said: "No, it can't be done, this position must not be taken away, otherwise it will be a great disaster, Feng Yanji is not something I can fight against at present." ”

Zu Chongen said: "Hehe, you Han Shilang is smart all his life, and there are times when he is worried about losing his mind!" When did the old man say that you would compete for the position of left minister on your face? That's it, you just have to go to Langzhou honestly......

As long as you can successfully complete the expectations of His Majesty on this trip, it will be a great achievement, and then you can think about how to compete for the position of left minister. Of course, if the purpose of this trip fails, then there is nothing to say, if Feng Yanji and the others deal with you at that time, you will ask for more blessings! ”

Han Xizai sighed, suddenly raised his head and asked, "What is what Your Majesty expects in your heart?" But old general, didn't you just say that you would continue to be neutral, why do you want me to fight for the position of left minister? You must have changed your mind, right? ”

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

Zu Chongen closed his eyes and stared, and asked softly: "Han Shilang, the old man wants to ask you, if you want to make a choice, which is more important?" ”

Han Xizai arched his hand without thinking: "Naturally, it should be Jiangshan Sheji!" If there is no country, how can there be a clan? ”

Zu Chongen nodded lightly and said, "That's it." You Han Shilang understands, and Your Majesty naturally understands this truth, but Your Majesty is not only the king of a country, but also a father, don't forget that Your Majesty has always loved his children, how can he really be willing to make such a heart-wrenching choice in his heart? What Your Majesty wants is actually the best of both worlds! ”

"The best of both worlds?"

"However, if you can ask for them all, why choose them? You have been by Your Majesty's side for so many years, can't you still see it? At this time, His Majesty only expected two points in his heart, one was to verify Li Yuan and the other was to welcome back His Royal Highness King Zheng. Both must be achieved in order to be considered complete. This is the result that His Majesty really wants!

At this time, some people kept instigating Your Majesty, believing that Li Yuan's rebellion was true, and that His Majesty wanted to abandon the safety of King Zheng and decisively send troops regardless of his safety, what do you think Your Majesty thinks? ”

Han Xizai seemed to be enlightened, patted his head and said: "The old general's words, I understand, you mean that Feng Yanji and others have been instigating Your Majesty to send troops, although Your Majesty does not say it, but he is already dissatisfied...... No, but if I hadn't come forward today, wouldn't Your Majesty have let them go? ”

Zu Chongen shook his head decisively and said, "But you have already stood up, haven't you?" You, Han Shilang, are the biggest variable today, and it also brings hope to Your Majesty. Almost all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty echoed Feng Yanji and others, but when His Majesty was helpless, you dared to stand up against them, and you also got the opportunity to go to Langzhou to supervise the army, which is why the old man dared to ask you to seize the position of Zuo Xiang!

If you can manage to achieve your majesty's expectations this time, how can you just be a scholar after returning to the court? Of course, how to achieve it is not easy, you still need to plan it yourself, the old man is stupid, I'm afraid he can't help you......"

Han Xizai carefully recalled Li Jing's last few words, "I also have expectations for Han Xizai", "You don't want to disappoint me", and Li Jing's warning to Wei Cen "Be cautious in the use of troops", suddenly took a deep breath of cold air, looked at the still energetic face of the old veteran in front of him, and admiration came spontaneously.

Han Xizai took two steps back, then bowed down solemnly, and said seriously: "What the old general said today, Xizai remembers in his heart!" Thank you for the old general's kindness! No matter how difficult this trip is, I will do my best to fulfill your majesty's expectations! ”

"Hmm!" Zu Chongen nodded quietly, and was about to turn around, but was pulled by Han Xizai.

I saw Han Xizai said sincerely: "Old general, there is a question you haven't answered yet, I can only dare to leave you for the time being!" ”

Zu Chongen frowned and thought about it, then stroked his beard and smiled: "The old man has never changed his mind. I'll help you today, that's because you kid often enters the palace, and his face is familiar......"

Seeing that the veteran was obviously reluctant to speak out, and pretended to be relaxed, Han Xizai had no choice but to smile helplessly, and nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, then I won't say more!" The old general has asked for something since then, as long as Hee Jae can do it, even if he is told! ”

Zu Chongen smiled and said: "The old man just said a few nonsense words casually, how can he hold it up?" You don't need to be so polite! By the way, it is your first time to go out with the army, but the mountains and roads to Langzhou are far away, and it is best to have some personal guards around you in case of accidents...... The old man is full of capable people, so it's better to pick a few for you to follow, they are all absolutely loyal and strong in martial arts. ”

Han Xizai blinked, and wanted to ask at this time, is your old general so enthusiastic about people with familiar faces? But after thinking about it, he stopped, and then said calmly: "Since the old general has good intentions, then I might as well obey my fate!" I'm going to leave the palace to pack my bags, and I'm going on my way tomorrow, and time is pressing. ”

Zu Chongen nodded and said, "Okay, the old man will immediately go to select people, and let them go to your house to stand by later." Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, what you said today is that you know it, go back and pack up, and the old man won't see you off. ”

"Thank you, old general!" Han Xizai bowed down again to thank him, and then hurriedly left the palace and went home to clean up.

In the Han family's mansion, when they heard the news that Han Xizai was going to Langzhou, the Han family felt sudden, and while packing Han Xizai's clothes and packages, they discussed whether this trip was dangerous. When she learned that it was involved in the rebellion of the envoys, and that she was traveling with the notorious Wei Cen, Han Xizai's wife immediately expressed great concern.

In the afternoon, five elite entourages selected by Zu Chongen rode to the Han Mansion, and at the same time, Wei Cen also sent someone to inform him that the army would gather at the north gate tomorrow and set off......

Just after dusk, a team of dusty cavalry arrived outside the south gate of Jinling City. The city gate guards recognized at a glance the majestic Tang Army flag held high in the ranks, and the general with the white horse and silver spear at the front was Liu Jiangsheng, the soldier and horse envoy of the Wuping Army, the general of Zhongwu, and the sworn brother of Li Yuan, the governor of Langzhou.

An hour later, the news that Li Yuan, the governor of Langzhou, led the army to break the Han army spread throughout the Southern Tang Dynasty court like wings, and the news exploded like a thunderbolt above the heads of hundreds of officials.

Feng Yanji, who learned the news, could hardly believe his ears, and even confirmed several times with the little official who sent the letter to the mansion before he dared to believe that this matter was true. Feng Yanji, who had not recovered from the wind and cold in Japan, almost fainted at that time, he was sweating profusely, his face was pale and he couldn't even breathe, his family hurriedly called the medical officer, and tossed for a long time before Feng Yanji's symptoms slowly adjusted.

Summoned a few maids to help them sit in the pavilion in the back garden, and after Feng Yanji waved everyone away, he sat alone in the pavilion and pondered. The remnant sun is like blood, the crows are crying, the yellow leaves are fluttering, Feng Yanji's heart is more cold than this autumn day, it seems to have sunk into the ice pool, and it is extremely cold.
