"The father seems to have a good understanding with the Zuo Prime Minister, and they have made a decision to protect this general together."

"No matter how the right minister insists, my father and emperor will protect the life of this general."

Xiang Yan listened to it and found that there were actually two strange things revealed in this matter.

First, as the three princes said, according to the practice of the Great Zhou, it is natural to defeat the battle and cut off the head.

This is how so many generals who have lost battles before have been dealt with.

Why was this exception made?

It is normal for Li Linfu to make political views contrary to Xiang Guozhong.

Xiang Guozhong suggested that the person to be killed, Li Linfu came out and suggested not to kill.

This is something that has always happened.

Nothing strange.

Or if Li Linfu doesn't come out to oppose it, it will be strange.

But the strange thing is that such an obviously unreasonable suggestion, why did Zhao Longji listen to it?

And the second strange place is.

Xiang Guozhong, a corrupt official who only knows how to accumulate money, as long as he does not add chaos to the country, he can be regarded as a contribution.

Why did he jump out and insist on killing this general?

From the tone of the third prince, Xiang Guozhong seemed to be disobedient to Zhao Longji's intentions, and he insisted on killing this general.

Could it be that this general offended Xiang Guozhong?

But it shouldn't.

Xiang Guozhong is not a military figure, and his base camp is far away in Bashu, what contradiction does he have with the generals in the northeast?

Thinking like this, Xiang Yan immediately discovered a third strange place.

A small defeated general.

How can you make Xiang Guozhong insist on killing him at the same time, but Li Linfu came out and insisted on protecting him?

can cause the left and right sides of the empire to fight each other for him at the same time.

No matter how you think about it, this thing reveals an abnormal meaning.

Xiang Yan was aroused by curiosity, so he asked the third prince.

"What's the name of this defeated general? What is the origin? ”

Then, the third prince said a name that made Xiang Yan's heartbeat stop suddenly in an instant.

"Andoo Mountain."

Xiang Yan's breath suddenly suffocated.

If the history of the Great Zhou must have several names that cannot be bypassed.

In addition to Zhao Longji and Xiang Yuhuan, the third name must be this Andu Mountain!

Because of this name, it is the leader of the famous rebellion in the future.

At the same time, it was also the turning point of the Great Zhou Dynasty from prosperity to decline.

"An Du Mountain, whose surname is Kang, is a native of Liucheng, Yingzhou, a Sogdian ethnic group, and a Hu general."

Xiang Yan blurted out information about Andu Mountain.

And the third prince Zhao Rui was also stunned.

"You even know him?"

Xiang Yan said.

"Oh, the people who know him are far more than us."

"This person has a saying."

"It turned out to be him, so no wonder Li Linfu would protect him."

"If it's him, don't say that my father suggested killing him, even if my father suggested protecting him, Li Linfu might not come out and go against him!"

The third prince frowned.

"What do you seem to know?"

"My instinct is right, there are a lot of intricate relationships and interests, right?"

"It's because I'm thinking about this person today that I'm a little absent-minded about everything!"

Xiang Yan thought about it for a while, and was thinking about a lot of things, can she mention it to this third prince Zhao Rui?

After thinking about it carefully, Xiang Yan decided to mention something to the third prince to solve his doubts.

"Our military attachés in the Great Zhou Dynasty have only one promotion direction, and that is to progress by military merit."

"And Your Highness, have you ever considered a situation?"

"When the military attaché's military exploits are unsealable, the only way to worship the prime minister is to enter the court."

"The military attache has entered the court to worship the prime minister, and my father, who is basically only in charge of the economy, will not mention it for the time being, but it turns out that he is the prime minister in the court, and the left minister Li Linfu, who is in charge of world affairs for the emperor, how should he deal with himself?"

This question made the third prince Zhao Rui frown tightly in thought.

"What do you mean?"

Xiang Yan said.

"At this time, a very interesting system shows its effect."

"That is, according to the ancient system, Hu people are not allowed to worship the prime minister."

The third prince seemed to be on the verge of an answer.

But there's still a little bit of something missing.

After a little thought, he continued to ask questions.

"Do you mean that Li Linfu is deliberately selecting Hu as a general?"

"Because no matter how much military merit the Hu people make, it is impossible for them to worship the prime minister in our Han regime."

"From this, Li Linfu can sit back and relax?"

Xiang Yan nodded.

"So it doesn't matter if Andushan and Li Linfu know each other before."

"When the prisoner car escorting An Dushan drove into the capital."

"Li Linfu must have seen him."

"Andushan is now 100% Li Linfu's person."

"So no matter what my father's attitude is in the court, Li Linfu will definitely protect him."

"It's not contradictory, it's not willful, it's in its own self-interest."

The third prince, Zhao Rui, was silent.

But soon, he seemed to think of something again, and quickly asked.

"But we have another ancestral system, Hu Ren is not allowed to be a military chief, only a deputy general!"

Xiang Yan laughed.

"This is Li Linfu's cleverness."

"Or maybe it's his double standard."

"The ancestral system that is beneficial to him is a good ancestral system, and it is the ancestral system that should be inherited and implemented."

"And the ancestral system that is unfavorable to him is the ancestral system that is not good, and it is the ancestral system that should be abandoned or adapted."

"Andushan, this thing is a head."

"A broken Hu man must not be the head of the military commander!"

Hearing this, the third prince Zhao Rui gritted his teeth.

"This Li Linfu is really despicable and shameless!"

Xiang Yan was noncommittal.

There is no such thing as nobility and meanness in politics.

There are only victories and defeats.

"But there's one more thing that doesn't make sense."

His Royal Highness the Third Prince asked again.

"Since this is a measure taken by Li Linfu to protect his rights from being threatened."

"It's just his personal self-interest."

"Father doesn't have a reason to accompany him to do this?"

"Isn't this perverse?"

This question made Xiang Yan silent.

Zhao Longji is not stupid, on the contrary, he successfully ate chicken in a series of coups and became emperors.

Not only is he not stupid, he is also a human being.

He must have understood what Li Linfu was doing.

But he still allowed Li Linfu to do this.

That illustrates.

At this point, some of Zhao Longji's interests are the same as Li Linfu's.

Even a little more excessive.

Did Li Linfu do this for his own interests, or for the interests of the emperor?

Hardly.

It's hard to say.

After all, it was Zhao Longji's favorite Zuo Xiang.

He was loyal to Zhao Longji's dynasty and the longest-reigning prime minister.

And there is no one.

As for what this unanimous interest is.

Xiang Yan didn't dare to say or guess.

So I can only be silent in front of the three princes.
