Chapter 247 Difficult to choose
When Xu Xianzhi came, Tan Daoji went out to greet him in person.The two bowed to each other, then humbly walked towards Tan Daoji's study.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Tan Daoji first asked, "Master Xu's visit this time, what is the reason?"

Seeing that no one else was around, Xu Xianzhi took out a roll of bamboo slips from his bosom and handed it to Tan Daoji.

Tan Daoji opened the bamboo slip without knowing why, and suddenly found that it was the memorial he had presented to the emperor.Somehow it fell into Xu Xianzhi's hands.

Tan Daoji's complexion gradually darkened, "Master Xu, what do you mean?"

Xu Xianzhi said with a worried look on his face, "Don't blame me for making unnecessary moves. It's just that the emperor has made frequent moves recently, and many veterans have been forced to resign. You must not jump out at this time and be that early bird."

Tan Daoji said, "Those courtiers who have retired are all out of ridicule by the eldest princess, and the emperor does not want to do this matter."

Xu Xianzhi said dissatisfiedly, "You and I are on the same boat. Why do you have to be so perfunctory to me. Who can't see that the eldest princess is just the emperor's pawn, and she will fight wherever the emperor coaxes her to fight."

Tan Daoji said calmly, "Back then, Xu Sikong persuaded us to think long-term for our family and country. So he abolished the young emperor and supported a new emperor. Now the new emperor has been established, and the emperor is in charge of the government and loves the people. I really don't understand why Master Xu has been so slow. Willing to return the power to the emperor."

Xu Xianzhi sighed, "You don't need to rush to draw a clear line with us. You are a cunning rabbit. If we wait for today, it may not be the tomorrow of General Tan."

Tan Daoji said, "Master Xu might as well speak up if you have something to say."

Xu Xianzhi knew that Tan Daoji was a real pure minister. If it weren't for the absurdity of the young emperor, even if his daughter was exiled, Tan Daoji would not turn against him.

Xu Xianzhi said, "I have already arranged for Xie Hui to go to Jingzhou to serve as the governor. General Ruo Tan can occupy Guangling, and Fu Liang and I are in power at the center of the court. We each have strong troops to protect ourselves."

Tan Daoji was a little annoyed at this time, "So Mr. Xu intercepted my memorial without authorization, because he was afraid that the emperor would blame me and disrupt Mr. Xu's plan?"

Xu Xianzhi said, "This is also for the safety of your Tan family. Could it be that you really want to involve all your sons for the sake of a daughter?"

Tan Daoji said with a cold face, "It's getting late, Mr. Xu, please go back. As for the little girl, I don't need to bother you."

Seeing that Xu Xianzhi had finished what he needed to say, Tan Daoji had to weigh the rest.So he didn't stay any longer, and said goodbye and left.

After Tan Daoji sent Xu Xian away, he felt mixed feelings.Do you want to suppress the entire Tan family for the sake of your daughter?He has been asking himself this question for twelve years...

If it weren't for the two ends of the balance that are so difficult to choose, he would not have been in conflict until now. Even when his wife Xie insisted on becoming a monk, he didn't even have any excuses to stop her.

It's just that Tan Daoji didn't know that the reason why Xu Xianzhi wanted to tie Tan Daoji tightly was not simply because of the military power in Tan Daoji's hands.

Others may not be aware of it, but Xu Xianzhi knows that before Liu Yilong took office, he should have had contact with that girl from the Tan family.

Yang Xuan, the son of Yang Sheng, died in an unexplained manner. After that, Qiu Chi suddenly sent a large amount of grain and grass to Jingzhou, and Liu Yilong even personally came forward to praise Tan Yaoyu's uncle, a small offshoot of the Xie family.

All these piles are connected one by one, Xu Xianzhi can be sure that either Tan invites rain, or even the entire Tan family has already belonged to the new emperor.Or, the new emperor had other plans for Tan's invitation to rain.

So Xu Xianzhi is sure that Tan Yaoyu will not die, and the Tan family will not collapse easily.Then wooing Tan Daoji became an important weight to maintain their current power.

The private meeting between Tan Daoji and Xu Xianzhi was soon discovered by Jingwei hidden in Jiankang City and reported to Yingfeng.

These two are important ministers in the court. If it is said that the two of them meet in private only for drinking tea and eating, no one will believe it.

So Yingfeng immediately informed Liu Yilong of the matter without delay.

At this time, Liu Yilong was explaining "The Great Learning" to Liu Yiji in his study.

If it is said that Liu Yilong spent more time on his seventh younger brother than the emperor's eldest son Liu Shao.

Not only did he hire the best teacher to teach him, but he also called Liu Yiji to test his homework from time to time.

It's just that Liu Yiji doesn't know why, although Liu Yilong has put so much thought into it, his homework is getting worse and worse.Even his level was not as good as when he was in Jingzhou.

Liu Yilong also often finds it strange that the seventh brother is obviously very smart, but why the more he learns the homework, the worse he gets.

When the two saw Ying Feng approaching, Liu Yiqing got up first and said, "Brother Huang probably has something to discuss with Brother Ying, so I will take my leave first."

Liu Yilong didn't stop him either, and nodded to let him go down.

Looking at the back of the seventh brother leaving, Liu Yilong said with some regret, "It may be difficult for him to go from Wen to Wen. If it doesn't work, you can take him to join Wu. At least let him have something to do."

Yingfeng nodded but did not answer.

Back then when he "stole" Liu Yiji out of Jingzhou, he had heard about this kid.Yingfeng knew that it wasn't that Liu Yiji couldn't learn these things, but that he was suppressing himself.

Liu Yilong's current throne is not secure.Xu Xianzhi can abolish the young emperor, so he can also abolish Liu Yilong.

But no matter how bold Xu Xianzhi is, he still doesn't have the foundation to become an emperor on his own.

Therefore, if he wanted to abolish Liu Yilong, he had to select one of Gaozu Liu Yu's sons to inherit the throne.

Liu Yiji didn't want to be selected, so he used this stupid method to escape for a while.

This matter is said to be a state matter, but it is actually a family matter, so Ying Feng is reluctant to say more.Let Liu Yilong arrange the Seventh Prince's affairs.

Yingfeng reported the details of the private meeting between Xu Xianzhi and Tan Daoji to Liu Yilong, and Liu Yilong's expression changed at that time.He was more worried than anyone else that Xu Xianzhi would repeat his old tricks and pull him down from the throne.

"Add more people to watch over the mansions of the four Gu Ming ministers. If there is any situation, they must be reported in time. I am afraid that Xu Xianzhi and his group will not be able to stay..."

After Tan invited Yu and the others to leave Qiuchi, they headed north along the official road to West Qin.

The reason why he went to Xiqin first was because it was so close... Yao Yu even had a prison car to ride in when he was exiled, but now he has been reduced to relying on his legs.

Although Xiqin moved its capital to Fanghan a few years ago, Xiqin bordered Qiuchi, even if he walked, with the footsteps of this line of martial arts masters, it would only take three to five days to arrive.

Yao Yu thought, anyway, things are already like this, instead of complaining, it is better to have fun while suffering.

Invite Yu to make a fuss for a while Zhu Rong, and tease Zimo for a while.

While having a great time playing, Yun Daosheng persuaded her, "You should accept all the things that the people give you when you just left."

　Regarding whether to save Zhaoyu, I really think her parents are right.It's just a matter of starting from a different point of view.Even if Tan Daoji is a slave to his daughter, it is impossible for him to not care about anything for his daughter.

　　Thanks to Colama, the reward against the wind.
