515: Return to Beijing, crown the king, make a bet
Lu Ze's trip to the Western Regions has been without suspense since the end of the Battle of Tiemen Pass.
The Western Regions Buddhist Temple Landa Mountain, for Lu Ze, the prince of Liyang who came here with a silver bottle, showed full attention, it may be that the Tantric Dharma King also exerted some strength in the back, Lu Ze's trip to the west, relatively speaking, just went through the motions, the specific matters, I think that the Liyang Emperor and the Yuan Banyu have been planned in advance before leaving.
The land of the Western Regions has been poor since ancient times, but its strategic location is extremely important.
Even if Liyang won the Spring and Autumn National War, which was destined to leave a strong mark in the annals of history, and the first emperor of Liyang included the land of the Western Regions in the territory of Liyang, he actually left this blank in the westernmost part of the world's geological survey.
First, because there are many problems in the Western Regions, Liyang, who is recuperating and digesting the afterglow of the Eight Kingdoms, has no spare strength to deal with the Western Regions, and secondly, the old emperor predicted that in the future, there might be a situation where the three states of Beiliang only know Xu Ziqi and do not know Liyang's surname, thinking that they can simmer and do many things here.
But it didn't come to pass, the old emperor who was in the prime of life suddenly died, and gradually evolved into the current situation.
Even the Sword Pavilion of the Southwest Fortress was able to be infiltrated by Bei Liang, or cultivated, or rebelled, and two thousand cavalry troops were buried in Liyang's belly.
On horseback, Lu Ze looked in the direction of Tai'an City, the time to come out this time was not long, but he always felt that he had been outside for a long time, and the return journey was faster than when he came.
The Iron Gate Pass on the border of the Western Regions is still in constant wind and sand.
Maybe many people don't know that there was such a level of fighting here half a month ago, and the truth naturally can't be made public, in the folk version, Xu Fengnian, the son of Beiliang, died under the rebellion in the Western Regions, as for the villain slaughtering Chen Zhibao, all kinds of rumors are even more noisy, some say that the villain slaughter was given to death by his father-in-law Xu Xiao, who lost his son in his later years, some say that the villain slaughtered and returned to the field, and some say...
History has always been like this.
The real history may only be known to those who have experienced it firsthand, and most of the truth is like the small stones exposed in the wind and sand outside the Iron Gate, and I don't know when they will be buried by the wind and sand, and when the people of later generations finally dig it out, they find that the stones buried below have completely changed their appearance.
Lu Ze and his entourage were mighty when they left Tai'an City.
Now when he comes back, it is a little shabby, whether it is the Yulin Army or Jin Wuwei in the battle of Tiemen Pass, more than half of the losses, but it is the spirit of this few remaining people who show far more spirit than when the whole team was at the beginning, the master master Han Mink Temple did not follow into Beijing, the chief eunuch of the Great Inner resigned from all his positions as early as when he left, and now he has gone to Xishu in advance.
Lu Ze is crowned king!
This is a foregone conclusion.
The heirs of the royal family will be divided by the emperor into various places in Liyang as kings when they reach adulthood, but most of the thrones are the titles of the fictitious county kings, Lu Ze this time he has exchanged his real achievements for the title of the king of Shu with real authority, which has been hanging in Liyang for a long time The position of the vassal king finally fell into his pocket, but I don't know how the emperor Lao Tzu arranged for the four emperor brother Zhao Zhen.
In the snow, Zhao Kai died at the Iron Gate Pass, and Emperor Zhao Chun almost quickly decided to make the fourth prince Zhao Zhen the crown prince of the East Palace.
But now Lu Ze has completely changed the solution in the so-called original book, even the male pig's foot Xu Fengnian is so dead that he can't die anymore, the butterfly effect is naturally extremely thorough, Lu Ze is even thinking about whether to kill the fourth emperor brother in advance, now the situation in Tai'an City is complicated and inexplicable, as long as the killing game is designed more ingeniously, the so-called prince will die.
But this straightforward way still doesn't seem appropriate in the imperial capital Tai'an City.
In his position, seek his government.
Directly assassinating at Tiemen Pass is the only way to solve the problem, so Wang Xianzhi's ending that made Lu Ze himself feel unreasonable will play such a big role, not only successfully allowing Lu Ze to slaughter Xu Fengnian, but also burying Chen Zhibao's white-clothed war immortal with great ambition and equally great ability in the yellow sand.
And on the battlefield of Tai'an City, it is far from being able to solve the problem by killing alone.
The second master, Yang Taisui, reminded Lu Ze when Lu Ze came back: "This time, you made a dangerous move, even slaughtering Xu Fengnian and Chen Zhibao, but in the future, you still have to combine Zhengqi, the fourth prince Zhao Zhen has attracted the support of a considerable number of people in the capital over the years, and after marrying Yan Dongwu in Beiliang, he has won the favor of many officials from Liangdi. After returning to Beijing, Your Majesty must be extremely satisfied with you, but it is impossible to talk about the matter of Tiemen Pass on the surface, so a Shu King number is already the ultimate reward of the holy scroll."
Of course, Lu Ze knew what the second master meant.
Although he made a big profit this time, after all, he was just qualified to attack the throne, even if he got a slight sideshow from the emperor, but the foundation in the capital cannot be compared with the four princes, after all, people have grown up in Tai'an City since childhood, and there is a powerful queen lady behind him.
Lu Ze actually had a candidate early in his heart.
The foundation of this thing, it still depends on the person, the four princes win by quantity and potential, and they can only take shortcuts here.
Lu Ze looked at the majestic imperial city that was getting closer and closer, and his expression was inexplicable.
"Your Highness, shall we return to the palace now?"
"No, go to the Qin Heavenly Prison first."
.......
The news of Lu Ze's return to Beijing quickly spread throughout Tai'an City.
His Majesty the Emperor expressed all kinds of harbingers ten years ago made the ministers in Tai'an City gradually understand one thing, this prince with a special identity is likely to become the one who enters the palace of Xishu, and it is rumored that hundreds of people from the three major bureaus on the side of Shangyi Jian are all busy, just to sew out the incomparably respected vassal robe, and the position of the King of Shu who has been vacant for many years seems to have a new master.
And it is even easier to think about the news that has been circulating outside recently, it is rumored that Xu Xiao, the king of Beiliang, and the border with Liangzhou in his general's armor twenty years ago, finally came back with a bow, thinking of the news that His Royal Highness the Prince was surrounded and killed by the rebels, these Beijing officials who had been trained to become old foxes soon thought of the truth that frightened them.
It's just that no one dares to say it.
Lu Ze was in the attic at the top of Qin Tianjian at this time, there was an old man with a peaceful face lying quietly on the bed in front of him, a young scholar crying quietly on the sea oil level beside him, and a young woman in black with tears in her eyes.
The girl Nan Huaiyu's eyes were red and swollen, because of her martial arts and soft figure, she looked like a willow in the wind at the moment, helpless.
"Before grandpa died, he saw the Liyang Qi Fortune National Pillar soaring, and passed away with a smile."
Lu Ze calmly looked at the old prisoner who treated him very well, and he said softly: "Old man Nan, the so-called destiny is hard to change is just bullshit, I said that I would come back alive, I killed Xu Fengnian, the son of Beiliang, and buried the invincible villain in your mouth in the yellow sand of Tiemen Pass."
"You, you've lost the bet again."
"Unfortunately, this is the last game."
