Xu Xian didn't have time to persuade the child a few more words, so the eunuch came to summon him to the palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Minister Xu Xian, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Xu Xian bowed to the little emperor wearing a bright yellow nine-colored dragon robe.

The little emperor originally had a sad expression, but when he saw Xu Xian, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he didn't need to be reminded by the eunuch next to him, so he said, "Hurry up and calm down." ”

Xu Xian got up and said, "Your Majesty." ”

After the bead curtain, the queen mother coughed lightly twice and reminded the little emperor to pay attention to her image: "Xu Xian, do you know why Your Majesty and the mourning family summoned you back to Beijing?"

"It's for the Lingnan rebellion. ”

"And what do you want to explain?"

Xu Xian said: "The minister has nothing to explain. ”

"No, those thieves are going to kill you by name and take revenge. ”

Liang Xiangguo said: "Xu Xian, it is clear that you have ill intentions and provoked Huayi relations, causing the Ling people to rebel and the country to be unstable, and you are ashamed of the love of the emperor for you, what else do you have to say now." ”

Xu Xian knew that it was pointless for him to explain how fair and legal it was to kill the snake mother now, and entangled in this kind of matter would only set off an endless debate, and he didn't intend to let anyone bother about his affairs, this kind of trivial matter could not be solved, so it would be in vain to be an immortal.

He smiled slightly and said, "That night, I went to the camp of the king of Naling. ”

As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar. All the officials looked at Xu Xian with incredible eyes, he dared to say that he had been to the camp of King Ling, and he was not afraid of blowing the cowhide out.

Wang Wenrui even glanced at Xu Xian, asking Xu Xian not to talk nonsense, he would distinguish for Xu Xian.

Liang Xiangguo sneered even more, I didn't know how to deal with you, but I didn't expect that "there is no door to hell for you to break in", in this court, any lie is a crime of deception, and you actually told such a stupid lie.

The little emperor was interested: "Really? Didn't they kill you? I heard that those barbarians are cannibals." "Obviously think of it as a thrilling and interesting story.

Xu Xian ignored this kind of expression, smiled at the only good audience, the little emperor, and continued: "Then I asked him, why rebel?"

The little emperor said: "Tell me quickly, why?"

Xu Xian said: "He said that this was not completely out of his own volition, but that there was a sect called Zoroastrianism organized from it, and the rebellion of the Ling people was just part of the overall plan, and they also contacted the Hu people in the north and the Japanese people in the east to make a rebellion together and share the world. ”

The quiet needles in the court could be heard, and the civil and military officials and even the queen mother were shocked by the news. This kind of grand conspiracy to subvert the world is simply unheard of, and they instinctively feel that it is not true.

Only the little emperor asked seriously, "And then?"

"I told him, don't do it again, you're killing yourself by doing it. ”

"Did he listen?"

"Of course he didn't listen and wanted to kill me. ”

"What then!"

Xu Xian spread his hands and said: "What else can I do, I will teach him a lesson with my iron fist of justice, let him go back and forth from where, and then they will retreat!"

Liang Xiangguo, who said this, was terrified, and opened his mouth to reprimand: "Xu Hanwen, dare to be alarmist in the court and steal the world's merits, do you think Your Majesty will believe such a ridiculous lie?"

Baiguan also thought so, Xu Xian's words, I'm afraid only children would believe it.

The little emperor patted his thigh and said: "It's amazing! No wonder my father and emperor value you so much, Xu Xian, you are really the pillar of the country, and I have a lot of rewards, well, you will be Xiangguo in the future." ”

Liang Xiangguo was stunned for a moment, and the civil and military officials didn't react, what did Xu Xian change from a criminal official who returned to Beijing to wait for trial, to Xiangguo.

"Your Majesty Xie!" Xu Xian didn't wait for them to react, and immediately sang a chorus and bowed down.

The queen mother said loudly: "The emperor still can't stop talking, Xu Xian, you are not allowed to kneel." "The emperor's exit, that's a golden mouth, if you say it, you can't count it, if Xu Xian responds to the order, it is really a dilemma.

"Okay. Xu Xian straightened up again.

"I can't stop talking, Xu Xian, and I'm not grateful. The little emperor was reprimanded by the queen mother in front of so many people, and immediately felt very shameless.

Xu Xian looked at the queen mother with an innocent face, the queen mother glared at him fiercely, and deeply realized what it means to be anxious, from the moment Xu Xian entered the hall, the situation was led out of control by him in a few words, but the emperor was not angry, and he actually listened to these loopholes.

However, now that she is listening to the government, she can't help but be cautious when she hears such a big event, so she said: "Xu Xian, what you said is true? Do you know what it means to talk nonsense in this court?"

Xu Xian said: "Of course, it means that no matter what I say, I can't change my words." That's all he can remind, and whether he can attract the attention of the court or not is not something he can decide. ”

"You!" the queen mother was angry, and Xu Xian's meaningless attitude of "believe it or not" made her very angry, and she couldn't wait to order someone to pull her down and cut her down now.

The little emperor is different, he is accustomed to the cautious and fearful attitude of the civil and military officials towards his mother at the court meeting, and Xu Xian looks particularly outstanding and admirable.

Wang Wenrui said roundly: "Your Majesty, the Hu people's season and Dongying's envoys are outside, you might as well announce them into the palace and listen to what they say, if there is really any conspiracy in it, you still need to be careful to take precautions." ”

The Hu envoys were first announced to the palace, and they still asked to make peace with Daxia and marry the red-sleeved county lord. This Hu envoy was proficient in Chinese, and tried his best to speak for their Yamucha Khan, saying how sincere he was.

Pan Wang said: "If it is really sincere, outside the Yanmen Pass, the army is pressing, what does it mean, do you plan to force us to agree by force?"

"Your Excellency doesn't know, the bitter cold outside the Saiwai is not richer than the Central Plains, and in winter, the pastures wither, and the people have no food and clothing, violating the borders of your country, it is really a helpless way to survive, even our Khan can't stop it. People are at ease, who is willing to let their sons and daughters go into battle to fight. In the summer, the country is in the upper country, the land is vast, if we can be in harmony with each other, give the winter, our Great Khan is also willing to sacrifice cattle, sheep and horses, turn the war into jade silk, and forever protect the inside and outside of the Great Wall, no swords. ”

These words are high-sounding and seem to be very reasonable, and people can't help but fantasize about such a harmonious and peaceful scene.

Liang Xiangguo said: "The minister thinks it is reasonable, the military department spends a lot of money every year, and the soldiers on the border are even more miserable. Now, as long as you take a tenth of it and give it to the Hu people, so that they don't die of cold and starvation, you can get rid of the sword soldiers, so why not?"

Xu Xian finally understood that the purpose of these Hu people was not only to make peace, but also to defraud money. Most of the time, direct money is indeed much smaller than the cost of war mobilization.

In the original history, the Song Dynasty gave the so-called "New Year's coin" to the northern ethnic minorities every year, also known as "New Year's Gift", not that the Song Dynasty really did not have the power to resist at all, otherwise whether it was Jin or Liao, the Song Dynasty could directly destroy the Song Dynasty, and there was no need to ask for this money, which had such considerations.

But in Xu Xian's view, this kind of behavior cannot escape the word "capital enemy", those barbarians who bow down to their vassals, quietly accept the "reward" of the Song Dynasty when the national strength is weak, and will invade brazenly when the national strength is strong, in order to achieve greater gains. It is simply impossible to satisfy the endless desires of the invaders with limited resources.
