As soon as Zhu ignored this remark, the expressions of everyone in the audience changed.

After more than 20 years of the Spring and Autumn National War, Liyang unified the Central Plains and restored the pattern of the unification of the old Qin Dynasty 800 years ago.

And this stroke has nothing to do with the one in front of him, although this lord is more holy and promising than the previous emperor.

Just because the destruction of the Eight Kingdoms was the result of the reign of the previous emperor, it naturally will not be counted on the head of His Majesty today.

However, if Beimang can be destroyed and the territory expands, it will inevitably achieve an unprecedented grand feat in ancient and modern times.

As soon as the emperor's voice fell, the people below were all human spirits, and he thought of this aspect almost instantly.

The ministers below couldn't help but think, including Zhang Julu.

In addition to the benefits obtained after the annexation of Beimang, there is also the temptation to leave a name in history.

You know, among the people below, there are the remnants of the Eight Kingdoms.

Zhang Julu was the first assistant of the dynasty, so he was naturally the first to speak.

The turquoise eyes flashed with a ghostly light, making people unable to see through the depth of this one, and slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, Beimang has been entrenched in the north for many years, and the national strength is strong. “

Another person came out and said: "Lord Zhang is old and seeks the country, Your Majesty, you still need to be cautious in attacking Beimang, why don't you first resist the enemy, and then gather ministers and industry and commerce to come up with a foolproof strategy, and then go north to Beimang." ”

When the emperor heard this, his face was calm.

Below, Gu Jiantang glanced at the person who spoke just now, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

The person who spoke just now was a veteran aristocratic family in Liyang, but nearly thirty years have passed, and these people have long since lost the enterprising spirit of the Spring and Autumn Period, and they have been blinded by wealth and glory, and they can't even see His Majesty's intentions.

Immediately, he stepped forward: "Your Majesty, judging from the letterhead, the movement of Beimang's army is quite different, and it is definitely different from the knocking on the border in previous years, and it seems that there are signs of the whole country coming to attack, and we have to guard against it." ”

"In addition, the war of the King of Beiliang on the border of Liangzhou has begun, and I have been away from Yang for twenty years to recuperate and start a war with Beimang, at this time. ”

"The last general is willing to go and charge for His Majesty. ”

Gu Jiantang is a master of the sword, and the sonorous sound resounded through the imperial study.

The Emperor nodded, his majestic eyes sweeping over the audience.

His authority has grown stronger in recent years, and when he first ascended the throne in the past, he still needed to be supplemented by political skills to compromise all parties to seek balance, but now, the military and political power of the entire Liyang Empire is in his own hands except for Beiliang, and it can almost be called a cadre's arbitrary.

Under its imperial tricks, many forces became more and more in awe of it, and they all bowed down and did not dare to disobey.

Zhu ignored the decision in his heart, how could he be changed by a few words.

He stared at Zhang Julu and said lightly: "The cabinet, with the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Jinyiwei, discussed together, and came up with a charter." ”

Then, his eyes moved slightly, and he said: "If the big thing is done, there will be another king with a different surname from Yangdang." ”

The faces of the people below changed, and their eyes shot out of different colors.

After the emperor finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked everyone to stand back.

Zhang Julu and the others bowed down and said, "The ministers obey the order." ”

After everyone left, the emperor sat at the desk, muttered for a while, picked up the pen and waved his hand to write two secret letters, and handed them to Han Diao Temple.

"Use the expedited channel and send it to Xu Xiao. ”

Han Mink Temple bowed his head to receive the order, and many thoughts flashed in his heart.

......

Beiliang, Daying.

Xu Xiao was not having a good time during this time, to be precise, the entire Beiliang Army and the Beimang Army that confronted him were not having a good time.

With the Beimang military god Tuoba Bodhisattva in charge, it is indeed a hard bone to gnaw.

On this day, the people were deliberating on military strategy.

"Report ......"

"Come in. ”

"General Bing, there is a brocade guard outside who wants to see the general. ”

Xu Xiao and Li Yishan glanced at each other, what does Jinyiwei represent, the entire Liyang Empire knows that he is an extension of the will of Tai'an City, and coming here means that there is a will to be delivered.

After a little silence, Xu Xiao waved his hand: "Let him in." ”

Jinyi Wei is not a eunuch, and there is no need to go out to greet him in his capacity.

Oh, a flying fish suit walked in.

Jinyiwei arched his hand: "I have seen the prince, Your Majesty has a secret decree to deliver." As he spoke, he took out two letters from his bosom.

Xu Xiao stood up and took it with both hands.

Jin Yiwei did not delay, and arched his hand: "Lord Wang, if you have to go back to restore your life, you won't stay long, and you will retire first." ”

Xu Xiao didn't leave the other party, just said, "Go slowly." ”

After the people left, Xu Xiao picked up two letters and looked at them, one was for himself, and the other was actually for Dai Daojin, which made him a little surprised.

When Li Yishan saw it, his eyes were deep, his eyes turned, and he chuckled: "The letter actually asked us to hand it over, it seems that the relationship between His Majesty and that gentleman today is not what we thought." ”

Xu Xiao nodded, opened his letter, and after reading it, his face showed a solemn expression: "The emperor is so bold. ”

Although it was hostile, he still valued this emperor very much.

Li Yishan took the letter in Xu Xiao's hand and read it again, the emperor's will is very simple, he wants to attack Beimang, he needs Beiliang's cooperation, and he must not be delayed, and the words are full of domineering and killing.

He frowned, in the past, no matter what happened, as long as it involved Beiliang, the emperor mainly appeased, and he had never used such a tough tone.

It shows that the emperor is really here.

He really wants to take this opportunity to completely solve the problem of Beimang.

Xu Xiao looked at Li Yishan: "What do you think?"

To attack Beimang, it is inevitable to mobilize the strength of the country, and Beiliang is no exception.

And what makes Xu Xiao tricky is that if it is the same as before, surrounded by the foreign enemy of Beimang, the Beiliang Army will always exist, because Liyang needs Beiliang Iron Cavalry.

But if you really cooperate with the emperor's order this time, you will completely solve the problem of Beimang.

So did Liyang still need the Beiliang Army at that time?

The emperor's attitude towards the Beiliang Xu family was almost predictable.

It not only eradicates Beimang, expands the territory, and achieves unprecedented achievements in ancient and modern times, but also can completely pull out the thorn of the Beiliang Xu family, killing two birds with one stone.

The emperor has good means, Xu Xiao sighed.

At this time, Chen Zhibao, Zhu Lushan and others had already finished reading the letter.

Zhu Lushan looked at it, and his eyes showed coldness: "The war is imminent, the emperor sends such a letter, aren't you afraid that we will not listen to him and let his great cause fail?"

Xu Xiao frowned and was silent.

Li Yishan suddenly smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "It's me who underestimated the emperor." ”

Everyone looked at him, and Xu Xiao also showed doubts in his eyes, not knowing what he meant.

Li Yishan pointed to another letter from "Dai Daojin personally enlightened", and said with a wry smile: "I thought that the emperor didn't even have a channel to contact that gentleman, and he needed to rely on us to deliver the letter, explaining that the relationship between the two was even worse than we imagined." ”

Zhu Lushan said in a sullen voice: "Military Master, isn't that so?"

Li Yishan shook his head and said: "If what I expected is correct, this letter should be used to persuade Mr. Dai to persuade him to let us obey the emperor's will and cooperate with the imperial court's northern expedition." ”

Everyone frowned, if the one also asked them to obey the court, then they really had no choice.

After a pause, Yuan Zuozong said, "It would be good if we didn't hand over the letter to Mr. Dai." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yao Jian, one of Xu Xiao's six righteous sons, said loudly: "It's not appropriate." ”

Li Yishan also said: "The emperor expected that we would not dare, and we only guessed the contents of this letter, and no one dared to say whether there was anything else, whether it was important to that gentleman? Moreover, the private interception of his letters would inevitably cause the original good cooperative relationship to fall into a rupture situation." Without that person's support, coupled with the heavy losses of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry this time, the emperor will no longer have any worries about dealing with us. ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Xu Xiao's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters and he was silent.

In the face of the emperor's proper conspiracy, Li Yishan also felt a little tricky.
