Chapter 34 The Essay on the Thief
Tiandu, Li Xinian's mansion.
"This should be the first time you and I have met." Li Xinian looked at Lu Fengxian, who had returned, and asked with a smile.
Since Li Xinian took power, Lu Fengxian has never appeared in the court, so that Li Xinian has only heard of his name and has not seen him, and he met for the first time today, on the whole, it is similar to rumors, arrogant and cunning, which can be seen from his face, and it is also very deceptive.
Judging from Lu Chao's evaluation, this person has his own plans, but Li Xinian can't see what he is planning.
"yes." Lu Xuan handed the jade slip to Li Xinian and said, "The thing will return to its original owner." β
"You are not a reckless man, the old man has never understood, why do you want to help me?" Li Xinian took the jade slip and frowned and looked at Lu Fengxian.
"I'm curious, where can you go?" Looking at the old man in front of him, Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Mr. seems to be about to break through to the realm of virtue." β
"It's been a few days, it's a pity ......" Li Xinian looked up at the faint green qi in the sky, if it was the Tiandu in its heyday, with the Confucian cultivation of the four grades, he would really be able to turn things around.
But if it was really the Tiandu in its heyday, it would not have fallen to the current step, and of course, it would not have allowed him to govern.
"It's a pity, I've never seen the full power of Confucianism and Taoism, it's a pity." Lu Xuan nodded, the power of Confucianism in the prosperous era is indeed terrifying, but unfortunately, this is a troubled era, and the Confucian youth that Confucian masters can mobilize will only become less and less.
"Now that the imperial court is employing people, the general will help capture the thief party this time, if the general is willing, the old man can guarantee the general as the general of the second grade!" Li Xinian said solemnly.
"Although I admire Mr.'s mind, it is not okay for me to follow this big cadre to accompany the funeral." Lu Xuan shook his head, now his luck as a third-rank general is not as good as a Taishou, and the second-rank is not high, and now the luck of the entire court is basically from Tianzhou, and he has to raise a minister, which is not enough.
Li Xinian nodded regretfully, Lu Fengxian was a general, but it was a pity that the cunning shown by this person made him a little afraid to use this person.
"What are you going to do with the patriarchs of the three major families?" Lu Xuan asked.
"Hold it first, if the three major families are divided and evenly matched, they will be detained all the time, and if there is a strong person within the family who can integrate the family, then put it back." Li Xinian didn't hide it, this is a conspiracy, even if the heirs of the three major families know that this is a pit, they have to jump in.
"Awesome." Lu Xuan praised, split the princes, and then tried to break them one by one, but if you want to do this, you must first resist the counterattack of the princes of the next parties, Lu Xuan got up and said: "Since this is the case, it is time to leave in the next place!" β
Li Xinian glanced at Lu Xuan, frowned, and said, "What does the general want?" β
"Go to Zhangzhou, the Xie family should still be willing to accept me, but I will rob the prison tonight, otherwise I won't be able to explain, be careful." Lu Xuan smiled: "Don't let me really rob people." β
Li Xinian nodded silently.
That night, Lu Xuan asked the city guards to take his family out of the city, entered the city alone to rob the prison, and outside the prison of the Criminal Department, he fought with Cao Jingzhong, Zhang Wang, Liu Chunhua and Yu Wentong, who had already been ambushed here, and finally outnumbered, withdrew from Tianzhou, and retreated all the way to Zhangzhou with soldiers and horses.
Zhangzhou is the hometown of the Xie family, and it is also the place where the Xie family has the deepest roots.
"You're hurt?" Xie Hao looked at Lu Xuan and asked with a frown.
"Well, I wanted to bring my father-in-law back, but unfortunately Li Xinian seemed to have calculated that I would come, Cao Jingzhong, Zhang Wang, Liu Chunhua, and Yu Wentong were guarding there, and they really couldn't bring it out." Lu Xuan nodded and sighed.
"Where were you when my brother was arrested?" Xie Hao obviously received the news first, but he still needs to confirm it: "On the Beishan side, it is nominally a bandit, but there are two Wupin who have never seen it before, although they know the plan, but they really can't get out, and when I return to Tiandu, everything has been settled." β
Xie Hao looked at Lu Xuan for a long time and said, "Go back with me first." β
Immediately, he returned to the ancestral hometown of the Xie family, Zhangyang County, with a large army and his family.
Now Zhangzhou is in charge of Xie Yun, Xie Hui was sent to Dongzhou to serve as the commander-in-chief of Dongzhou, in charge of Dongzhou's military affairs, in fact, most of the local officials are Xie family protΓ©gΓ©s.
"General Lu, it's good to be able to come back, don't blame yourself too much." Xie Yun showed great enthusiasm for Lu Xuan, which made Lu Xuan a little uncomfortable, looking at Xie Yun with an enthusiastic face, Lu Xuan didn't feel his worry about his father at all.
"Thank you, Childe." Lu Xuan nodded, this Xie Yun is not completely unscrupulous, at least at this time, he knows that he has to win over the five-grade masters.
In the case of the Dao Alliance, the five-grade master is nuclear-bomb-level, and he can reverse the outcome of a war, no matter how he looks down on Lu Fengxian's background, but Xie Yun knows that at this time, he needs the five-grade master to support him.
There are two Wupin in the family, one Xie Hao is here, and the other Xie Cheng followed Xie Hui to Dongzhou, these two are the core resources of the Xie family, the Murong family and the Cui family don't know what the situation is now, but the Xie family has obviously completed the integration of resources, even if Xie Yao is arrested, the strength of the Xie family has also completed the initial integration.
"Since General Lu has arrived, then next, I will invite you to come over and discuss the next matter." Xie Yun affectionately pulled Lu Xuan to sit on the seat, many important generals of the Xie family and members of the Xie family have gathered here at this moment, obviously, Lao Xie still wants to pass on the family business to Xie Yun, even if Xie Hui does not perform badly, but what he gets is still a Dongzhou that is in ruins, and the core forces of the Xie family are almost all in Zhangzhou except for the two Wupin.
"I've been on the road for the rest of this time, but what's going on now?" Lu Xuan sat down, looked at everyone and asked.
"That Li Xinian brutalized the Shi clan, and all the people in the world complained, two days ago, the Murong family and the Cui family both sent letters, and we are also here today to discuss this matter." Xie Yun looked at everyone: "The Son of Heaven is young, traitors and ministers are harming the country, my Xie family is a minister of great cadres, and the secretary of the world, how can I sit back and watch the traitors bring disaster to the country?" β
Lu Xuan nodded, that's right, the princess of the past has been deeply favored by the imperial court, so it took seven years to collapse the imperial court, and now in order to fight against the traitor Li Xinian, is it time to wave his troops to the side of the Qingjun?
"General Lu." Xie Yun looked at Lu Xuan and said with a smile: "The general has always been resourceful, I don't know what to think about this matter?" β
Opinion?
Lu Xuan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I'm good at fighting, but if I want to talk about these things, I don't know what to do, the top priority is to rescue my father-in-law first, this time I rushed back to Zhangzhou, hoping to gather masters to rescue my father-in-law." β
"Father wants to save himself, but Tiandu is now heavily guarded, whether it is a master or a soldier or a horse, my family alone is not enough to succeed, I am ready to unite the Murong family and the Cui family, jointly cavalry, Qingjun side, behead traitorous ministers, and revive the great cadres." Xie Yun said in a deep voice: "What do you think? β
"Why only contact the Cui family and the Murong family?" Lu Xuan gave his own question: "The princes of the world are not the only four families, no matter what the reason is, we will send troops, after all, it is better to send a letter to the world to ask for thieves, count Li Xinian's crimes, and then gather all the princes of the world to fight against the sword thief and clear Huanyu." β
"Yes, the imperial court's current practice is unpopular, if you can invite the princes of the world, and then millions of heroes will gather in the heavenly capital, why worry about the big thing?" Another clan elder recognized Lu Xuan's proposal, the three major families are on the side of the Qingjun, in fact, they lack legitimacy, and it is good if they win, but if they lose, one bad one will be ruined.
If the princes of the world start a crusade together, then as the initiator, the fame brought by this battle is secondary, and the most important thing is the political resources it brings.
Xie Yun hates others to contradict him the most, but now he can't help it, whether he can hold on to the Xie family's resources depends on this battle, if he can really become the leader of the princes in the world, it will be of great benefit to him in the future, and therefore, seeing Lu Fengxian refuting himself, he did not oppose it for the first time, but made a deaf and deferential attitude.
When everyone heard this, they expressed their opinions, Lu Xuan's suggestion was basically passed, and the next step was how to call on the princes.
It is impossible to really shout a slogan and communicate with each other, and everyone is talking about this matter.
First of all, we must contact the princes from all walks of life to see everyone's reaction to this matter, if it is okay, then it is to get up and call, and the world will gather.
Of course, this matter also has to be communicated with the other two families, and the three major families have the right to make decisions about what is happening in the world, and it is not the Xie family that has the final say.
The discussion of the people was an afternoon, and almost all the princes of the world could list everything, and then select the powerful ones to join.
For the next period of time, the entire Xie family was planning for this matter, sending people to communicate with the other two families, and calling the former protΓ©gΓ©s and old officials to wave the flag and shout for the Xie family.
However, when Xie Yunzhi was complacent and ready to call on the world's heroes, Xie Hui, who was far away in Dongzhou, was the first to jump out and send people to various counties to post articles against thieves, inviting the world's heroes to fight against national thieves.
Whether it is the Cui family, the Murong family, or the princes from all walks of life, but no matter who sent the letter from your Xie family, their purpose is to unite, and on the side of the Qing monarch, it is not too important who is the initiator.
"Bastard, what does Xie Hui mean!?" Xie family, Xie Yun looked at the messenger who came to deliver the letter with some anger, he was busy for so many days in order to promote this matter, who would have thought that he was about to pick the fruit, but the fruit was robbed by Xie Hui, who suddenly killed, how could he not be angry?
"Second son, what do you mean by this?" Lu Chao, who came to deliver the letter, was puzzled: "My family has been preparing for this matter for this time. β
"Preparation?" Xie Yun smiled, and his smile was quite harsh.
Lu Chao frowned, hugged his fists and said, "Since this is the case, then I will go back to Dongzhou to reply first." β
"Get out!"
