Before Hanxiong set off in Badu City, he heard news from Pengshan. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info it is said that Shaowu is a stunning woman in Pengshanna, whose origin is unknown, may be the scattered cultivation in the surrounding area, and Shaowu has ordered that she will be set up as a concubine, called "Salt Queen".

For some, this news is like a bolt from the blue. Shaowu has only set up one concubine, that is, Qingyan, who was respected as the "Holy Queen" in his early years. After the fate of Qingyan "ascending to the sky", it has been worshiped as the god of national sacrifice, which has invisibly created a situation, that is, it is not good to set up a concubine again, and others dare not mention this stubble, who can compare with the god of national sacrifice?

In fact, from the perspective of Shao Wu himself, even if it is just to give Hanxiong a face, envelop this brother and a middle-class minister in Canada, and make Hanxiong's sister the main concubine, but he has never mentioned this matter, and Hanxiong is of course even more difficult to mention. This is a thorn in Shaowu's heart, he is neither willing to touch nor mention it again, except for the tiger baby, no one knows the reason.

Now that Shaowu has suddenly come to this scene, Hanxiong is not a little surprised, and what is even more surprising than Hanxiong is the son Shaoxiao who has been sitting in the court of Pakistan for three years.

Shao Liao thought that his position as the prince had been firmly seated, but at this moment he felt deeply uneasy, and he suddenly realized that everything he had was completely given by his father, so Shao Wu could also take it back in one sentence.

Shao Xiao found his uncle Hanxiong overnight, and the two discussed privately for a long time, but they couldn't guess the origin of the mysterious woman. Hanxiong decided to talk to Shaowu in person and see what was going on, and rushed to Pengshan the next day.

Hanxiong's experience is far richer than that of his nephew, and he can see more things from many details, so his worries are deeper. At the beginning, Shaowu suddenly announced that he would go to the country for three years, which was confusing, and Hanxiong thought that he might be taking this opportunity to test the prince, but later I heard that he was recommended by Huwa to help Lord Boyu govern the river.

Today, Shaowu's prestige is not only in Ba Yuan, his reputation has spread throughout China, and he has been ceremoniously praised by the Chinese emperor. But from the time Shaowu set off to return to Bayuan, when he thought about it, there were many things that were not quite right.

On the way from Yingtian City to Yeliang City, almost all the important military generals in various places along the way were replaced, and the people appointed were all personal guards who had not been in Bayuan in the past three years and had just returned from the land of the river, involving a total of more than 200 people. Even including the gatekeeper generals in the city and the post generals at the gates of various passes, these positions that did not need to be bothered by the monarch himself, and the minor affairs have been adjusted.

This also means that wherever Shaowu goes, he firmly controls the situation there, and even if someone wants to take advantage of the king's return to Badu City to cause chaos, they can't make any waves at all.

If another person did such a thing, and appointed his cronies as military generals in various places on such a large scale, it would obviously be a rebellion. But this kind of thing happened to the monarch himself, and it was really puzzling. So what is Shaowu guarding against when he does this, is he not at ease with Gongzi Shaoxiao?

In fact, with Shaowu's prestige, even if someone wants to provoke a rebellion, I am afraid that no force in the country will follow, and Shaowu can be immediately pacified with an order. It was really redundant for him to make such an arrangement on his way home, and it was not like Shaowu's style of acting, unless there was something else going on.

Hanxiong is also guessing what the inside story is, could it be that Shaowu has suspicion of him and Shaoxiao? The more Hanxiong thinks about it, the more aggrieved he becomes, for so many years, whether it is assisting Shaowu or Shaoxiao, he is loyal, what reason does Shaowu have to be suspicious?

But if this were not the case, why would Shao Wu have such an unusual move? Why did Shao Wu firmly control military affairs and customs defense along the way as soon as he returned to China, and reappointed all the generals at the grassroots level? Hanxiong was born as a great general, and in recent years he has been in charge of the military and political affairs of the whole country, and if Shao Wu wanted to guard against him, I am afraid that he would only target him, and what does this mean?

It wasn't until Hanxiong heard the latest news from Pengshan that he suddenly came back to his senses, or thought he had figured it out.

What kind of chaos can there be in Pakistan now? The only mess can only come with the prince! Not to mention Shaoxiao himself, the ministers and people of Pakistan all think that Shaoxiao is about to become the new monarch, and they know even more that Hanxiong absolutely supports Shaoxiao. If, at this time, Shao Wu suddenly changed his mind, in the case that Shao Liao and Han Xiong had been in charge of state affairs for three years, they really had to make some preparations just in case.

So why did Shao Wu move the mind of setting up a new king? The problem must be in the stunning woman, Shao Wu must have been bewitched by it, but Shao Wu is not this kind of person, he couldn't even charm him back then, and now he has left Pakistan for three years, how has it changed?

Thinking of this, Hanxiong felt even more aggrieved, even full of depression. Does the senior brother just distrust him, nor do he trust Shao Xia, who has been cultivated since childhood? Even if Shao Wu wants to set up a new monarch or does not want to take the Zen throne for the time being, will he and Shao Wu raise troops to force the palace? As long as Shao Wu himself is here, it is impossible for anyone in Pakistan to succeed in rebellion.

Shao Wu did not have this kind of confidence in himself, and he did not have such trust in others, what he did was really chilling! Hanxiong did not bring any entourage, and rushed to Pengshan as fast as possible to ask to see Shao Wu. In fact, he was also angry by doing this, just to show Shaowu that I was here, and I came alone.

When Shao Wu saw Hanxiong, he smiled and gave him a seat, the seats in the hall were not divided into monarchs and ministers, but they sat side by side very casually, and he took the lead in asking: "I said that I will return to Badu City in a few days." Why is the junior brother in such a hurry to come here first?"

Hanxiong's temper is still quite rushing, and he is feeling depressed at the moment, so he is out of his mind anyway, and he straightens his neck and says: "Since the lord is still willing to call me a junior brother, then please hold back, I have something I want to ask in private." ”

With a wave of his hand, the young man sent everyone away, and there were only two brothers in the hall. Hanxiong was also not polite, like pouring beans on a bamboo tube, he said all the doubts in his heart, and asked one sentence after another, and finally said: "Senior brother, why do you want to do this? If you are suspicious of me and Shaoxiao, you can say it clearly! If Shaoxiao has lost his morality and government, you only need to say a word, and I will immediately tie him up to Pengshan!"

Shao Wu was stunned, and it took a long time before he patted Hanxiong's shoulder, and let out a long sigh: "Senior brother, you and I have a lifelong friendship. I think back then, it was you and Dajun who were in danger for me, Dajun unfortunately died, and you were seriously injured and escaped by luck. As Ba Jun, I have been suspicious of many people, but I have never been suspicious of you, but today you are suspicious of Senior Brother and me!"

Hanxiong also came out like this, he didn't have much confidence, and he was a little dazed when he heard Shaowu talk like this, and his momentum weakened a few points unconsciously, but he still asked like a gamble: "Then what's going on with all this?"

The young man asked rhetorically: "If you are selfless, how can you question me like this? Is there any wrong thing I have done to my subjects, whether it is for my subjects or for my brothers?"

This is a very serious and serious question. If the young minister appoints the generals of the city and the defense along the way, if it is replaced by someone else, it may be a change with bad intentions, but for the monarch himself, this is completely within his power and responsibility. No one should raise any objection to the act itself, the only thing that needs to be discussed is whether the person he appoints is suitable?

And there is a very appropriate reason for the appointment of the young man, not only to praise those strong men who have made great contributions, but also to promote these talents who have seen the world to more important positions. And the officials who were replaced were not removed from their posts, but were arranged according to their performance during their tenure, so the young affairs were delayed for so long along the way.

As for the young man, I am afraid that this kind of thing will not be in the hands of Hanxiong, a relative, and Hanxiong will inevitably worry too much. Shaowu has been a king for many years, and accepting a concubine is his own private matter, and the same is true for who he wants to appoint as a concubine. Whether it is a subject of Pakistan or a brother of Shaowu, such as Huwa and Pan Gu, even if it is the resurrection of Dajun back then, can he point out what he should not do?

Seeing that Hanxiong was talking for a while, Shao Wu said again: "When I went out, I met a woman named Ah Yan, and I wanted to make her the concubine and the queen of salt. But there are no things that you are worried about and suspicious, I came to Pengshan to wait for her, and now that Ah Yan has arrived, I will soon return to Badu City, and spread to be located in Shaoxiao. I was about to order you to be summoned to discuss the Zen ceremony, but you have already arrived. ”

Hanxiong came in a negative mood, but he didn't expect that his momentum was beaten down by Shao Wu in a few words, and he stammered and bowed his head and said, "Senior brother, is this the way things are?"

Shao Wu replied angrily: "No, is it what you think?...... I've finished answering your question, but I'd like to ask you what's the matter?...... If that's what you think, what are you going to do?

Shao Di is my son, if he is really wrong, and I want to take him down, he can take it when he refuses to be poor, will he let him return to Badu City to continue to preside over state affairs, and do you still need to let you tie him up? Besides, the prince who presides over state affairs, can you say that you can tie him up? The prince is the prince of a country, not the prince of you alone!"

Seeing that Hanxiong didn't answer, Shao Wu patted him on the shoulder again and said, "I know that what you just said was just a momentary angry speech, but why did you say such angry words? But is it really appropriate for you to be so suspicious of me? I think my junior brother has never thought of himself as a powerful minister, so what kind of person is the real person in the world who deceives the king and usurps power?"

When he said this, Shao Wu also sighed secretly in his heart. If he were a tiger baby or a pan gourd, would he have these thoughts? Of course not! But Hanxiong would be like this, and the brothers, in some ways, he seems to have gone farther and farther apart, and all this happened unconsciously.

Isn't it the act of powerful ministers to interfere with and question the normal behavior of the monarch in praising meritorious ministers and appointing military generals, and even wanting to meddle in the private affairs of the monarch and appointing concubines.

But looking back, it's no wonder Hanxiong. Hanxiong has always been in the middle of the Pakistani dynasty, first in charge of the military power, and then in charge of the military and political power of the country, and he is even bent on supporting Shao Liao to the throne. If you stay in this environment for a long time, you see, do, and think about this kind of thing all day long, and you often don't think about anything else, and you don't even realize it.

Why can't Tiger Baby and Pan Gu be like this, because they can jump out of an invisible circle and go beyond their own limitations. Why Hanxiong is like this, in the final analysis, is because he has selfish intentions, for so many years, he has unknowingly tied the position of the prince of Shao Liao with his own will, the more this is the case, in fact, the farther he goes, so he can't help but be suspicious of Shaowu.

Whether it is a monarch or a brother, this kind of suspicion should not be. But to be honest, if a different person is in his position, has the same situation and experience, I am afraid that it will inevitably breed the same thoughts, which is also unconscious.

Hanxiong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, although the hand on his shoulder was light, Hanxiong felt that the bones in his whole body seemed to be unbearable, and he quickly got up and bowed: "Thank you Senior Brother for waking up, no matter what, I shouldn't ...... I was really shocked into a cold sweat today!"

Shao Wu also got up and held his arm and said, "You don't understand what I do, with the relationship between you and me, you just ask me." You didn't conspire in Batu City because of this, but directly came to me alone to ask me face to face, which shows that you still treat me as a brother. ”

These words came from the bottom of my heart, and it was also what Shao Wu was pleased with. If there is a really ill-intentioned minister, I am afraid that he will not come directly to ask the monarch, and this kind of thought will only be hidden in his heart, and even if Shaowu still wants to pass on the throne to Shao Li, he will definitely cut this person's power and suppress it first, and will not be as pretentious as today.

Shao Wu pulled Hanxiong to sit down again, and said with a pleasant face: "You and my brother should not have any more mustards. I recently got the news that Uncle Huo called his disciples to return to Wufu Qiu to meet him, and I also want to go back to Wufu Qiu to meet his old man, and then I will walk with my junior brother. But before that, I had to bother my brother and sister to prepare two ceremonies, one was to canonize the salt queen, and the other was to sit in the new king. ”

After the sword shatter soared and the new sect master of Wufu Qiu succeeded to the throne, the original four elders had been promoted to the rank of Supreme Elder. The Third Elder Huo Bo summoned the disciples to meet him, which seemed a little inexplicable, but he vaguely guessed in his heart that it was probably the end of this master's life.

The original four elders of Wufuqiu were not ranked according to age, but according to the order of entry, among them, the three elders were the oldest, and even the junior disciples did not know how old he was. Huo Bo had already achieved great cultivation back then, and later broke through the Seven Realms, but after all, he failed to cultivate the Endless Longevity Yuan, let alone ascend to immortality, and there will be an end to it.

Hanxiong is Huobo's personal disciple, and since he is called, he should go to see his old man, and Shao Wu also plans to go together, and the time is after his Zen position. If Huo Bo Shouyuan is about to die, no one will say it explicitly, Shao Wu vaguely guessed it, and Han Xiong probably didn't think about what was going on before.

Hanxiong replied, "Of course I want to go back to Wufu Hill, and if I go this time, I plan to stay in Wufu Qiu to cultivate." The implication is that he is ready to resign and retire, and it is also a decision made because of today's events, and suddenly he came back to his senses and realized what the situation was with his master, so he paused and said, "I don't know how stunning the beloved woman my brother met this time, can I let my brother meet me?"

If a courtier visits the king, there is no reason for the king to call the concubine out to meet him, that would be too rude! But among brothers, of course, they must recognize their relatives, and it is normal to make such a request. Shao Wu said: "When the junior brother came, the reason why Ah Yan was not present was because he was afraid of scaring you...... I plan to stay with Ah Yan in Wufu Hill for a while, and then return to Pengshan Blessed Land to cultivate. ”

Hanxiong: "I forgot to congratulate my senior brother just now, this is the blessing of senior brother!"

Shaowu's tone changed and said, "Senior brother still wants to ask you a question." I have been a prince for fifty years, half a hundred years, what kind of king do you think I am?"

Han Xiong was ashamed and said, "Senior brother, do you still need to ask me? You are the most outstanding and virtuous Bajun in history, and your virtuous deeds have not only surpassed those of the ancestors and the queens, but also surpassed the ancestors of Yan Zhao. ...... Senior brother, don't ask that again, senior brother has already made a mistake!"

Hanxiong thought that Shaowu was beating him. There are some things that need to be seen outside of one's own limitations. There is no doubt that Shao Wu is the most virtuous Ba Jun in history, compared with such a Ba Jun, what virtue and ability does Shao Liao have, and Hanxiong unconsciously stands on the same position as Shao Liao to suspect Shao Wu, isn't it because Shao Liao is his own nephew!

Shaowu shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Senior brother misunderstood, I didn't mean that." Many people think that successful people have their own reasons, and it is indeed good, but it is a big mistake to think that everything that successful people do is reasonable.

No matter how much I can praise what I did as a king, if I leave me, the kingdom of Pakistan will cease to be the kingdom of Pakistan, and this will be the last and greatest failure of a king. I can make the country of Pakistan what it is today, but the country of Pakistan should not exist only because of me, and it should not exist without me. In that case, I will eventually become the king of the country. ”

It's not easy to open his mouth, it's just Shaowu's self-emotion, Hanxiong only nodded again and again, and at the same time glanced straight in the direction of the back of the hall. Didn't you just say that you were going to call your sister-in-law out to meet you? Why haven't you seen anyone yet, are you still grooming?

At this moment, Zong Yan entered through the curtain. Hanxiong was caught off guard and was bluffed into the sky, but he knew his fate, so he jumped up from his seat coldly, and was about to kneel directly, breaking out in a cold sweat again.

Shaowu had already prepared, and pulled Hanxiong up again, and said with a smile: "Senior brother has recognized the wrong person, she is Ah Yan girl, but she looks the same as the Sect Master of Destiny back then...... Ah Yan, this is my junior brother Hanxiong, I have mentioned it to you many times. ”
