Hearing that the emperor was coming, the queen got up and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine has retired first, Xuan'er, you haven't been in the palace for a long time, go back to the palace with the palace to talk, and by the way, try to see if the clothes made for you by the palace fit." ”

Emperor Shu nodded, and the eldest prince Emperor Fu Xuan also nodded happily and said, "Okay, then the father and the emperor will also retire first and return to the palace with the queen mother." ”

Emperor Shu got up, with the help of the palace maid, tidied up his yellow robe and said with a smile: "Go ahead." ”

Then the Emperor of Shu said to the four people: "You should also step down, and take these meals to the queen for the eldest prince to continue to eat." ”

"No!"

After a while, the kung fu table was cleaned up by the palace maids and eunuchs, and Emperor Shu hurriedly got up and went to the front door.

"Your Majesty, the old minister. ”

"The emperor should not be polite, the student is not welcome, and I hope that the emperor will forgive his sins!" Emperor Shu walked to the edge of the flower bed, and when he saw an old man who looked to be sixty or seventy years old and wearing a milky white robe, he wanted to salute and hurriedly stop him, but instead made a gesture himself, this old man is not Li Xuanzhang, the teacher of Hua Ji Yu and Yu Qiao.

Li Xuanzhang turned sideways slightly to avoid the Shu Emperor's salute, "Your Majesty's words are serious, and the old minister is ashamed of it, so please don't ask Your Majesty to be more polite." ”

Emperor Shu stretched out a hand and motioned for Li Xuanzhang to walk towards the Yazhi Pavilion, "The emperor is naturally able to afford the great gift of my emperor's family, I have listened to the emperor's teachings since I was a child, and now the two sons who are not successful are also the emperor's hard work to solve doubts." Having said that, the emperor has been protecting me for 70 years, and it is indeed hard for the emperor. ”

Li Xuanzhang stroked his beard with his right hand and said with a smile: "From the time I started to be His Majesty's enlightenment teacher when I was forty-five years old, it has indeed been exactly seventy-five years now, and His Majesty was only a five-year-old child at that time, but I didn't expect to spend one hundred and twenty years in a hurry." ”

Emperor Shu sighed slightly: "Yes, at that time, I was afraid of you, teacher, especially afraid that you would punish me." I didn't expect Xuan'er and Yu'er to grow so big now, but the teacher hasn't seen any age. ”

Li Xuanzhang watched the koi in the pond tossing and playing freely, and shook his head, "I also rely on my cultivation to support me, and I don't have a few years to live, and I have lived enough." ”

When Emperor Shu heard Li Xuanzhang's words, he was slightly surprised, according to normal speaking, with Li Xuanzhang's cultivation at the peak, it would not be a problem to live up to two hundred years old at all, unless Li Xuanzhang had other ideas.

"Could it be that the teacher still wants to rush up again?" asked Emperor Shu softly.

Li Xuanzhang nodded slightly and said with a smile: "People, there is always some hope for life." But Your Majesty rest assured, I will help Your Majesty achieve great things in my lifetime, the situation of the four countries has been in full force for a long time, and the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time. If we continue to boil up, the unique geographical location of Qianguo will inevitably become stronger. ”

Hearing the words of the emperor, the Shu Emperor was noncommittal, and the Shu Emperor also knew that the emperor had only two wishes or ambitions in his life, one was to go to the extreme of martial arts, and the other was to help Shu complete unification.

Emperor Shu knew that a person like the emperor had long been beyond the world, and the authority of the world could not tempt him. For the emperor, this world is just a chessboard, and all he wants is to win.

"It is said that although Mo Zhenghao, the current emperor of Qianguo, is only thirty-five years old, he is a generation of heroes, ambitious, and has always been ready to move. According to the news, Prince An, who rebelled before, was also his imperial uncle Mo Canglan, who had escaped, and the students felt that Mo Zhenghao should have done it on purpose. Emperor Shu thought of the news sent back by the spies in the Qianguo country before.

Li Xuanzhang sneered contemptuously: "We want to annex the other three countries, why don't the other three countries have this idea." It's just that Mo Zhenghao's ambition is greater, and his own national strength is strong. His imperial uncle Mo Canglan was deliberately released by him, since he wanted to mess up, I would satisfy him and make the entire Qianguo chaotic. I want to see how when the world is in turmoil, how he can fight against three enemies in one country. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Shu sighed slightly: "The main thing is that my Great Shu is declining, otherwise how could I be beaten by the Qianguo all the way to the national capital Shaocheng eight years ago, sign a covenant under the city, and cede Shuzhou, and suffer this humiliation, I am ashamed of the teacher's teachings and the people of Dashu." ”

"Your Majesty does not need to blame yourself, and the responsibility is not all on Your Majesty. Although my Dashu, Wei, Yueshu, and Qianguo have been established for about the same time, the geographical location of the Qianguo is unique, and it is normal for the three kingdoms to be prosperous in the past few years. And losing Shuzhou is not necessarily a bad thing, no matter how powerful the Qianguo skill is in just eight years, he can't eat Shuzhou, Your Majesty must know that people's hearts are the most difficult to tame. ”

Li Xuanzhang took a sip of tea and continued: "So later, if Your Majesty wants to achieve hegemony, you must unite with the Yueshu State and the Wei State to exert pressure on the Qianguo State together, so that the Qianguo will be surrounded by enemies on three sides, and when the Qianguo is difficult to take care of, it will not be far from destroying the country." In this way, after the most powerful opponent Qianguo is missing, there is no need to worry about the remaining two countries, and at that time, Your Majesty, you will be the first emperor of the ages. ”

Hearing the last sentence, Emperor Shu couldn't help but breathe a little fast, his chest rose and fell slightly, and his face was red.

Emperor Shu got up and stood on the edge of the table, shook it to the end, and said loudly: "On that day, the student Huangfu family is willing to establish a longevity position for the teacher for generations, first respect the teacher, then respect the sky, and then respect the earth." ”

Li Xuanzhang hurriedly helped up Emperor Shu, "Your Majesty doesn't need to be polite, this is also my ambition and ideal to assist Your Majesty all along, but the old minister is grateful to Your Majesty for his unconditional trust in me." ”

"I don't know where the teacher is now?" asked Emperor Shu cautiously.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, not long ago, I already asked my disciples to start acting, and when the real world is in chaos, it will be the day when my Great Shu Black Armor Warrior will go out of the Sword Pavilion Northern Expedition. Now what His Majesty has to do is to govern the country with peace of mind, develop people's livelihood and farming, encourage weaving and business, and make adequate preparations for the future. ”

Li Xuanzhang said what the Shu Emperor needed to do one by one, and the Shu Emperor also listened carefully, although he had ruled the country for many years, but whenever the emperor spoke, the Shu Emperor listened carefully to the teacher's teachings as if he had been a child before.

Emperor Shu himself knows that if he doesn't have a teacher, he may not be able to sit on this throne, even if he becomes the emperor of Shu, without the assistance of a teacher, he is at best an emperor who has no achievements and waits for death. A hundred years later, there are only a few words in the green history: born in the year, collapsed in the year, no achievements, and no great faults.

Therefore, Emperor Shu knows very well that he has a few catties and a few taels, and if he wants to be praised for eternity, he must do something, and only by following the teacher's advice to fight, can his name last forever.

"That Yu'er, do you need to call back, so as not to cause trouble to the teacher. Emperor Shu thought that his second son, Emperor Fuyu, was still on the side of Qianguo.

"No, Prince Yu is about to become the great master of the Liangyi Realm, not only will it not cause chaos, but it will also play a big role. It just so happens that what Prince Yu wants to do is exactly what the old minister wants, don't worry about it or take care of it, just hide the identity of Prince Yu. His Majesty will arrange a puppet in the palace of Prince Yu later, so as not to be found by the spies of Daqian, as for the household department, His Majesty does not care, and the right to treat it as if he did not see it. Li Xuanzhang thought that there was something missing in the inner library of the household department and Prince Yu, and he guessed what Prince Yu wanted to do.

Prince Yu himself was a little angry, but he lost Shuzhou back then, and he has always been haunted by it, and he has grown up in recent years, and he has full wings and has his own ideas.

"Okay! The queen has always been worried that Yu'er is messing around outside and suffering, but my Huangfu's species is not the koi fish in captivity in this pond, so Yu'er asked the teacher to take care of it a little. "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, although they say it, but after all, they are their own flesh and blood, how can they let it go.

Then Emperor Shu said: "The student still wants to ask the teacher about something." ”

"Your Majesty, please say, the old minister knows everything. ”

"I wonder what the teacher thinks of the crown prince?"

Li Xuanzhang frowned slightly, "This is Your Majesty's family matter, the old minister is not good to say, not to mention that His Majesty's dragon body is healthy, there is no need to think about this matter too early." ”

Emperor Shu sighed slightly, "The teacher's words are wrong, the family affairs of the royal family are state affairs, and they must not be sloppy, and the teacher may know better than me." Born in this troubled era, who can know whether tomorrow will be a blessing or a curse, I think that if I make some preparations early, I will not be like the Qianguo seven years ago, and the domestic corpses will be all over the field. ”

Li Xuanzhang thought about it, but although he was an emperor, the two generations of Emperor Shu's father and son were his students, even if he had a special identity, but if he said more about this matter, there would be a subtle change in its nature.

Seeing that Li Xuanzhang didn't speak, Emperor Shu smiled bitterly: "It's okay for the teacher to speak freely, if it weren't for the teacher, the students of the Shu Kingdom might not be able to sit on the throne." For 75 years, the teacher has been working hard for Dashu, helping students govern the country, without complaints, and without ambition, just for their own ambitions. But this Shu country also has most of the teacher's hard work in it, how can the student be independent, even if the crown prince is not Xuan'er and Yu'er, it doesn't matter, as long as he can lead Dashu to become strong, the student also voluntarily Zen. ”

"Actually, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, but when Your Majesty talks about this, the old minister is here to reassure Your Majesty. To say something disrespectful, it is no wonder that Your Majesty, when Your Majesty encounters an accident one day, the old minister guarantees that Shu will not be chaotic, and the throne can only be one of the eldest prince and the second prince. ”

As soon as Emperor Shu wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Li Xuanzhang, "In fact, the old minister doesn't want His Majesty to make a decision too early because the eldest prince and the second prince are both dragons and phoenixes among people, and they are qualified to inherit the throne, and the two brothers have the same father and mother since childhood. Although they are both extremely open-minded and open-minded, when it comes to the struggle for a big position, the two brothers will inevitably have a dislike in their hearts, and their palms and backs are all meat, so who should Your Majesty favor? Instead of spending national strength on the internal friction of fighting for power and profit, why don't Your Majesty sit firmly on the throne and let the two brothers join hands to win the world?"

In the end, Li Xuanzhang touched his beard and said: "Martial rule in troubled times, civil rule in prosperous times, if you want to achieve great things, you must get civil and military governance." ”

After listening to the last sentence, Emperor Shu suddenly brightened, "The teacher's words woke up the person in the dream, it was the student who was abrupt." ”

......

"Lord Wang, where are we going next?"

The person who is called the prince, standing on the riverside of the Tianmen River, the first snow is falling, the cold wind is slightly rickety, and he has been locked in Qianji Prison for seven years, and he has long lost his black hair, mixed with white hair like snow, his face is covered with traces of time, and he still retains the majesty of Prince An before him.

Mo Canglan turned his back to the Tianmen River, looked in the direction of the northern capital, and thought silently: My good nephew, should I say that you are confident or conceited! I thought that I would forget it in this life after I was imprisoned in Qianji, but I didn't expect you to give me this opportunity. Your ambition is really great, and your father and I are inferior to you in this regard, and your useless brother is not worth mentioning. Since I'm out, I'm going to have to give it a try, or I'll disappoint your scheming, won't I?

Mo Canglan looked at the dozens of people who followed him, and said with emotion: "I've suffered you all these years, but I didn't expect to wait for me all the time." ”

"I'll swear to follow the prince to the death!"

Mo Canglan looked at the entourage who knelt down on one knee and swore an oath, and couldn't help but feel a lot of blood, no matter how cold the cold wind was, it was difficult to bend the backbone of this fifty-eight-year-old man with the cultivation of the Liangyi Realm. The cold river breeze mixed with the snowflakes blowing the clothes and hunting sounds, but it could not blow away the ambition of an old man.

Instead of dampening Mo Canglan's fighting spirit, the current nothingness made him dare to fight more, what could be worse than nothing.

"Good, good, good! hahahaha...... God loves, from today onwards, I will take you to fight in this troubled world. ”

Mo Canglan had already set his next destination, and he had gone all the way south since the Qianji Prison of the Zhuge family in the capital came out, and he had a preliminary idea at that time. Now the four countries of the world are in full swing, and the forces in the rivers and lakes everywhere are deeply rooted. If you want to develop your power, the only place to go is Shuzhou. This was originally the place of Shu and later returned to Qianguo, and there are people from Shu and Qianguo who live in one state, so now it is the most mixed place.

Although Shuzhou has always had the Tang Gate here, the Tang Gate has not asked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes over the years, so this place is the best place for Mo Canglan. And in the future, it will slowly make a comeback, there is a sword pavilion plank road in the south, and there is Tianmen River in the north, all of which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the only Shuzhou south of the Tianmen River is taken, once the war breaks out, both Jinlingwei and Qingchuan Prefecture will be in a passive situation.

So what is more important is that there is still a 150,000 army of great cadres in Shuzhou, as long as you get your hands on it, then it is not impossible for the situation of the five kingdoms in the world to stand together, and he is the emperor of a state.

Of course, high returns must mean high risks, once he Mo Canglan takes Shuzhou, then Shu will definitely send troops to try to take back Shuzhou, and Daqian will also send troops to crusade against the rebels, and then it will be necessary to bear the pressure of Shu and Daqian. Only by blocking wave after wave of offensives can we truly gain a firm foothold.

This troubled world is like this, there must be ambition and ambition, dare to think and dare to do.

No matter what the world, some people are like this, waiting for power and fame is like the love and love in the mouth of the storyteller, even if it is irretrievable, even if it is lovesick, I will take you as before, and the years are the same.
