In Xiangfan City, the royal palace.

The young Jing'an King Zhao Xun was summoned to Guangling Road to suppress the rebellion. He has made no contributions and made no mistakes. The huge Qingzhou was handed over to a blind man who was also calm and composed. He did not make any eye-catching and outstanding achievements, but he would not fall to the point of using self-destructive means to win the trust of the new Jing'an King. It can be said to be a model of "the mutual matching between the king and the ministers", which is somewhat similar to the pair of partners of the King of Yanchi and Nalan Youci.

After nightfall, the stars were dotted. Lu Xu stood under the eaves and looked up at the dazzling starry sky. He was beside the dead man and maid who was placed beside him in the Jing'an Palace. He never thought that as he lived together day and night, he would become a grasshopper on a rope. However, this may not be the unique trick of the young King Jing'an.

"Sir, you let the prince only lose but not win. If you lose their face in the Zhao family, His Majesty the Emperor will probably blame him?"

"Of course, and it will be severely punished."

"Why did the prince agree?"

"When the old and new succeed, the emperor will be defeated and reunited. It often depends on the size of the credit, but only on the loyalty. It is almost enough to use thousands of people to express loyalty in Qingzhou. The old emperor deliberately suppresses who is just for the purpose of laying the groundwork for the new emperor. Otherwise, who would think of the new emperor? Most wise monarchs who immediately withdrew from the stage in history liked such obscure behavior, because they were worried that there was no one available to the new emperor. Moreover, chaos in the world is inevitable. After this great defeat, His Royal Highness, in addition to expressing his opinion with the imperial emperor and the prince, can also take advantage of the situation to remove himself from the troubled times and wait and see what happened."

"Sir, are you a scholar who knows the world if you don't go out?"

"My husband is still much worse than Mr. Yuan in Tai'an City and Mr. Nalan beside King Yan Chi."

"Sir, too humble!"

The blind Lu Xu smiled but didn't say anything.

"Sir, please tell me some other principles. Although I don't understand, I like to listen."

"There is no such reason, I'm just complaining."

"Sir, I'll tell you something, don't be angry. If one day the prince uses me to threaten Mr., you can rest assured. It's very difficult to threaten a living person with a dead person, right?"

"Don't do stupid things. You committed suicide. With Zhao Xun's temperament, I'm not far from death. Otherwise, he would have an uncontrollable so-called confidant around him and would not be able to sleep well."

"Sir, are you helping me find a bad excuse to survive?"

"You are not stupid either. But seriously, this reason is not bad."

"Sir, you are a good person. Are you tired of living like this?"

"What's the tiring thing about this? It's easier to take a step back than playing chess and cheating people on money in Yongzixiang a few years ago."

"Sir, I think you have great wisdom!"

"But I still can't tell whether you are wearing new clothes or old clothes."

"You will always know if you touch it..."

"Um?"

"Please take it off."

"Don't look at it if you are not polite..."

"Sir, don't you always like to say that you are blind?"

Lu Xu suddenly smiled.

Then he said softly: "Zhao Xun, Xun, "Huainanzi" calls it beautiful jade, but if the words are broken down, isn't it a 10-year-old emperor?"

Lu Xu sighed, "The backbone of our scholars will be broken in a few days."

The same night is far away from the border.

As a tiny horse hooves sounded in the distance, Jizhou Yan Fort, which was no less than a Bianguanxiong Town, was like a giant beast that was awakened. Almost instantly, countless lanterns and torches lit up at the same time, illuminating the fortress as bright as daytime. There was a moat outside the Yan Fortress. As the city gate opened wide, the bridge was slowly released. Without the need for the seven or eight riders who came from afar, they rode the bridge and entered Yan Fortress. In the cave, they were kneeling and worshipped a large group of Li's direct descendants of Yan Fortress. There was a long-lived old lord Li Chulin, and there was

Li Yuanya, the eldest son who was specially rushed back from Jixi, and a group of big men who were difficult to meet on weekdays, were all absent. Except for the eldest grandson Li Huoli, who died suddenly after crossing the south of the Yangtze River for no reason, the Li family, which was like a local emperor in Jizhou, was fully equipped. The old fortress lord's eighty birthday was not so grand. The leader among the seven or eight cavalry had a strange face, pale face, and looked like he could not bear the cold winter in the north, and was wearing a thick fox fur from Liaodong tribute.

Perhaps because he was older, he had already raised Zhengrong very introverted and did not feel arrogant. Except for the father and son of Li Chulin and Li Yuanya, no one in Yanbao knew the identity of this graceful man. However, others still saw clues through the brilliant lights and the corner of their eyes. The cavalry that served as attendants behind the man was actually the only Dazhu Kingdom in Liyang, General Gu Jiantang, and the members of the Li family kneeling on the ground were the ignorant boys and ignorant children.

Everyone guessed the identity of this man, and for a moment he looked awe-in and nervous but also proud. What a great honor to let this distinguished guest visit and how glorious it is? Perhaps it was mentioned by Gu Jiantang before, and Li Chulin and Li Yuan Cliff were just kneeling to greet him without adding anything to the snake. The man turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "The sky is cold in the north, and the earth is cold, not to mention the "Book of Rites" that there is eighty sticks in the court. The old castle lord should get up quickly, and no one else can kneel down."

The six cavalry behind him dismounted at the same time. General Gu Jiantang, who was wearing light armor and swords, silently stepped forward to help the man lead the horse.

Li Chulin stood up carefully, and his withered and majestic face looked like every wrinkle gap, emitting a strange brilliance. The particularly tall old man still bent over after getting up, probably not daring to let the man who was five steps away from the man raised his head and talk. Just in terms of physical condition, Li Chulin, who was still strong even though he was eighty years old, was really more like a "young man" than the man in front of him. At least Li Chulin would give outsiders a heroic momentum that was not less powerful than the past, and the guests who visited Yanbao late at night seemed to be unable to hide their fatigue, especially against the invisible background of the martial arts master Gu Jiantang, he became more and more dusk.

As the man moved forward, the team began to break, and there was also suspicion of being overlord. The man in the furry walked in front and called on the old castle lord Li Chulin to walk together. Gu Jiantang held a horse in one hand and followed closely, and then Li Yuanya. The four of them slowly walked in the front, and then the five cavalry each holding heavy troops on the northern line of the dynasty. Finally, the old Li family. Because the five people led the horses were separated from their sight, they could not go to Gu Dazhuguo to join in the fun and lively Li family, who had a familiar face, began to look at these backs. The old man from Yanbao with a sharp eyes recognized most of them, and then guessed the rest. They were inevitably shocked. All of these five people were military figures called the title of the General of Real Power, with the lowest official position.

The one is also the fourth rank. It can be said that if these five people died in Yanbao, then the two Liaobei lines would be paralyzed. However, Gu Jiantang, who has the best sword in the world, is the best sword in the world, and these five generals should be unable to die. In addition to the high position and power, these five cavalry have another common point, which is that compared with Yang Shenxing and Yan Zhenchun and other veterans of the Spring and Autumn Period, although their military achievements are slightly inferior and their reputation is smaller, they are younger, and they are less than fifty years old. The youngest one is only in his early thirties. The border battlefield is no longer necessary to pay attention to the success of their age than the dynasty officialdom. Therefore, it can be said that these five are destined to become the future pillars of the Liyang court in the future. Maybe the next Minister of War in Tai'an City will stand out from among them.

The man walked on a flat road paved with large bluestone slabs, looked up at the several fire dragons stretching up the lanterns and torches, and said softly: "This is the first time I have entered Jizhou in my life, and I should have come early. My Zhao family is the one who will win the world immediately. I go to the diligent room to teach the Zhao family's children on weekdays, and always say that I can't slack off and not be misled by the ancients. I believe that after winning the world immediately, I will dismount and defend the world, and continue to govern the world on the back of the horse. I said that, but I don't seem to have done a good job, and I teach by words and deeds. I think some Zhao family's children are more difficult to pay attention to military and border affairs like the ancestors of the family."

The old fox Li Chulin, who has cultivated into a spirit, dare not interfere in the emperor's housework. He can only prick up his ears and miss a word. As long as the emperor who visited privately, he will not ask questions, he will insist on listening and not talking.

This man who was so at ease that Gu Jiantang led his horse to guard was Zhao Dun, who was secretly stewarded the border today. However, when His Majesty the Emperor did not issue an edict to let His Highness the Crown Prince superintendent the country when he left the capital, but at the time when he was about to return from Jizhou, the eunuch Song Tanglu, the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Rites, handed it to Bai Guo, a secret edict to be made public. The samadhi of this is very good for the big men in the officialdom who wear purple and scattered breezes. This is the first time the old man has kissed him.

Seeing the emperor, I was so palpitations. The Han family's entire family caused turmoil in Jizhou, and the Li family in Yanbao, who had married the Han family, was also affected by Chiyu. Li Chulin, who had not yet made a position for Li Yuanya, was ruthless. Not only did he bind the younger couple to the court in Jizhou Prefecture City, he did not let their young children go. In the end, the two children who should have been surnamed Li and their parents were together.

To this day, although Li Chulin felt a little guilty, he had no regrets at all. Under the general trend, what could a few innocent people have calculated? The Han family went from being loyal to hundreds of years to a rebel minister who colluded with the enemy and treason overnight. For more than ten years, the government and the people said that it was the fake public and private support of the Blue-Eyeder Chief Minister, and it has even evolved into one of the powerful crimes of the Censor's impeachment of Zhang Julu, which made it inevitable that the elderly who like to read history in their spare time would be

It was a bit dissatisfied with all the traitors who had power in the past dynasties, and in the end the law of heaven was imminent, and he never dared to say how stupid the emperor was. To be honest, Li Chulin admired the chief minister who was ranked at the center but was self-disciplined everywhere. If Zhang Julu had not insisted on supporting the border of the North Line and leveraged half of the dynasty to support the defense line of the North, the old minister of the Ministry of War behind him would definitely not be so easy now.

As for why when Zi wanted to "do this more" to visit Yanbao today, after Li Chulin received a secret letter from Gu Jiantang, he had a secret meeting with his eldest son Li Yuanya in private. The answer was nothing more than three points. First, the Zhao court or His Majesty the Emperor rehabilitated the Han family, Jizhou needed all aspects to provide evidence that could convince the public. Yanbao, as a veteran wealthy family that has been rooted in Jibei for generations, was one of the victims of that year. The Li family stood up at a critical moment and won the sympathy of the court and the public. It was the general trend that the wall was overturned by everyone, but not everyone was qualified to push the high wall of the Zhang family that had been standing in the temple for more than 20 years. Moreover, Youzhou was restless, and now it was a cross-border situation.

With extreme actions, tens of thousands of cavalry flew into Jixi. The court of course had to prevent the young man from the Xu family of Beiliang from completely rebelling. With the departure of the Jinan veteran Yang Shenxing, the Li family of Yanbao, which had seven or eight thousand private soldiers, would naturally fall into the court's vision. The father and son guessed that in the end it was His Majesty the Emperor's private affairs and his selfishness. After the first two imperial commanders returned in personal expeditions, today Zi had never patrolled the border, and had never even been to the prosperous Jiangnan area. People mistakenly thought that today Zi only focused on internal affairs but not border achievements. This was definitely the view of a vulgar village man in the countryside. Li Chulin always believed that today Zi had an extremely strong conquest of the Beimang, because this was the only feat that could prove that he could stand shoulder to shoulder with the late emperor.

Emperor Zhao Dun climbed up the mountain along the bluestone road, and the Yanbao path was also known as Qingyun Road. Jizhou officials were all here to come here to ask for a prize, but for those who were sitting on the dragon throne, the officials' dream of rising to the top is really not worth mentioning.

Li Chulin was a little shocked. It was said that the Emperor was diligent and did not forget to exercise his body. Jizhou thought that this man, who was only fifty years old, could continue to sit north and south for more than ten or twenty years on that chair. Why was he so weak in physical strength? He had to take a breath every hundred steps? Is it necessary to take a breath? Is the thriving Li Yang going to change the sky? You must know that Li Yang is not peaceful now, with internal and external troubles. There are millions of cavalry in the Northern Mang who are eyeing him, and the Western Chu restored the country inside, and the temple inside is also full of wind and rain, and everyone is in danger. If something happens at this time... Li Chulin really dares to think further, for fear that the slightest strangeness will be noticed by the emperor beside him.

Yanbao is like a mountain, progressing layer by layer, climbing upwards step by step. His Majesty the Emperor stopped to rest in a pavilion with wide vision "half aside", stretched out his hand to tighten the heavy fur, and was silent for a long time, glanced at the west side, and suddenly said: "Old Master, you must have already dealt with my uninvited arrival, but you should have thought too much and wrongly thought it was wrong. You might as well tell you the truth. The reason why I came to Yanbao was to get closer and take a look at that place."

The old lord of Yanbao seemed to be startled, subconsciously straightened his back and then quickly bent down heavily. The old man who was used to the ups and downs of the wind and rain was trembling and dared not speak.

The emperor waved his hand and Gu Jiantang took a few steps forward.

Li Chulin quit and gently waited at the steps.

The emperor coughed a few times, his tone was a little difficult, "Jiantang, I have changed my mind. You will follow me to return to Beijing tomorrow, and you will send him a trip. Since I dare not see him, and no one in the court's civil servants deserve it. After thinking about it, only you, a general with the title of Dazhu Kingdom, can afford it. I actually know some of the thoughts he buried deep in his heart."

Gu Jiantang said calmly: "Do you have any words to convey?"

The emperor hesitated for a moment and said to himself: "Just tell him that the word "Dun" in Zhao Dun is worthy of the world, but Zhang Julu is worthy of him."
