The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 1685 I believe in fate, but I don’t have that fate

Boss Wei couldn't move, his whole body was cold, but there seemed to be a glimmer of light on his forehead, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be beads of sweat!

How scary is it to be sweating even though you are shivering from the cold?

I only heard Boss Wei trembling: "My hero, I was just following orders. After meeting with the Dali envoy, I took him to Jinzhou to resume his duties. As for other specific details, I don't know! I really can't stand it, hero. Please, let me go!"

Feng Jiuxiao looked at him, smelling the smell of alcohol in his mouth, and was a little surprised, "No wonder you can still speak. It turns out that you drank a lot of strong liquor just now! If this strong liquor hadn't stimulated blood circulation and stimulated the meridians, your My heart has already turned into ice!”

Boss Wei was immediately taken aback, his face almost turned the color of pig liver with fright, and his voice became sharper and harsher, "My hero, I realize that I was wrong, please spare my life!"

Feng Jiuxiao stared straight at him, "When others committed crimes in your hands before, did you spare them?"

Boss Wei was startled, paused for a moment and then said: "Forgive me, please forgive me!"

Feng Jiuxiao said calmly: "Forgive me? Then why are you nervous? Are you guilty?"

Boss Wei immediately said anxiously: "No, no, everything I said is true! I really spared them!"

Feng Jiuxiao signaled Pang Shiwu to pour wine for everyone, and then asked Liu Mizhou, "Do you think what he said is true or false?"

Liu Mizhou raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Do you even need to ask? Of course it's fake! It couldn't be more fake!"

Zeng Yong looked at Boss Wei gloomily, as if looking at a dead man, and sneered, "You don't even know how to pretend, but you dare to call yourself the boss of the world? I'll just die!"

Boss Wei was immediately frightened out of his wits, and felt his whole body getting even colder!

"Great...hero, spare your life!"

Feng Jiuxiao asked: "Who is the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty now?"

Mr. Wei said: "Liu Jiyuan!"

Feng Jiuxiao looked at Liu Miezhou.

Liu Miezhou said: "In terms of seniority, he should be regarded as my distant cousin. However, there is no blood relationship between me and him!"

Pang Shiwu immediately became interested, "Oh? Emperor Jianhan is your distant cousin? How come they are not related by blood if they both have the surname Liu?"

Liu Mizhou looked at Pang Shishi and said with a straight face, "This is my personal privacy!"

Pang Shishi smiled and said, "I'm only interested because it's your privacy!"

Liu Miezhou pretended to be angry: "Hey! You stinky boy!"

Pang Shishi poured him a bowl of wine with a smile, "Brother Liu, drink and drink! Drink first and then tell stories!"

Liu Mizhou snorted, picked up the bowl and took a big sip! The entrance is spicy but not pungent, the aroma is mellow and the aftertaste is endless. Good wine!

"It doesn't matter! I've let it go now!" He wiped the corner of his mouth, "Liu Zhiyuan, the founding emperor of the Later Han Dynasty, is my grandfather. You know this. He has a younger brother named Liu Chong!"

"Your grandfather's brother, he should be considered your uncle?"

"Yes, in some places it's okay to call him uncle. I'll just say a few more words."

"Tell me, it's been a long night with no intention of sleeping, and it just so happens that Brother Liu is telling stories to relieve his boredom!"

"Then I'll tell you. In the third year of Qianyou's reign, that is, the third year after my father succeeded to the throne, he discussed with the civil and military officials the matter of resisting the Liao soldiers in the north. General Shi Hongzhao proposed that Guo Wei lead the privy envoy to lead the town, but Prime Minister Su Fengchun said no Therefore, he refused to follow the precedent, which laid the hidden danger of civil and military discord. In the end, my father listened to the advice of Prime Minister Su Fengchun and did not appoint Guo Wei as Privy Councilor!"

Pang Shishi slapped the table and cursed: "This Su Fengchun is really nothing! He led his troops to the battlefield and fought hard, but you are not willing to give him an official title. You are so stingy!"

Liu Mizhou smiled indifferently, as if he was an outsider stating something, "When the emperor bid farewell to the generals who went on the expedition, General Shi Hongzhao said that to stabilize the country, use spears, spurges, and hair cones?"

Pang Shishi asked: "What is a hair cone?" He glanced at Feng Jiuxiao.

Feng Jiuxiao rolled her eyes at him and said: "Didn't I teach you before? What kind of brain? Mao Zhui is the guy who writes! The writing brush! What he means is that the peace and prosperity of the country and the peace of the world are all dependent on the sacrifice of our generals. , it was achieved by shedding blood, you guys who only know how to use pens and words are useless, you are useless!"

Pang Shiwu laughed and said: "I understood when brother said this! There is nothing wrong with what the general said. What's the use of just talking and writing a few bad words?"

Liu Mizhou remained calm and calm, "At that time, a civil servant named Wang Zhang retorted on the spot, how can we get wealth without a hairy cone?"

Pang Shishi looked at Feng Jiuxiao again, "Brother, what does this mean?"

Feng Jiuxiao deliberately pretended to be the civil servant with a straight face, "Without us civil servants, who would govern the world? Who would help the emperor make money?" Pang Shishi smiled and said, "Is that what you mean? Brother, why does it sound so vulgar? Why do I feel that it’s a bit weird to make money for the emperor?”

Feng Jiuxiao raised her eyebrows and snorted, "You haven't opened up your plans! Have you ever heard of the four words, I am the country?"

Pang Shiwu said: "I've heard of it!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "The whole world belongs to the emperor! Protecting the interests of the country means protecting the interests of the emperor! The so-called governing the country means governing the family! What is being governed is the emperor's family! The so-called wealth is returned to the treasury. Let me ask you, what is in this treasury? Who owns the money?"

Pang Shishi said: "Hubu!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "The emperor wants money, will the household department dare to resist the order?"

Pang Shishi said: "Don't dare! If you resist the decree, you will be beheaded!"

"So the national treasury is also the emperor's private treasury!"

Pang Shishi said: "I understand." He poured another bowl of wine for Liu Mizhou and looked at Liu Mizhou with a smile.

Clearly looking forward to Liu Mizhou continuing to tell stories!

Liu Miezhou seemed to have recalled the past, and looked a little sad, "Later, Wang Zhang hosted a banquet, and many civil and military officials came to attend the appointment. Su Fengchun and Shi Hongzhao also went, and the two people actually quarreled again during the banquet, and the quarrel became fierce. Shi Hongzhao actually drew his sword and chased Su Fengchun! "

Pang Shishi clapped his hands and said with joy: "Hey! Wonderful! What happened next?"

"Of course they were pulled apart later! But the two factions of generals and prime ministers were completely torn apart! Oh, it's unbelievable. In November of the same year, my father took advantage of the opportunity to go to court to arrest Shi Hongzhao, Wang Zhang, and Yang Bin. , relatives, accomplices, and followers, kill them all!”

Pang Shiwu's eyebrows knitted into knots, "Wait a minute, why did your father kill them? And wasn't Wang Zhang a civil servant? How come he was killed together with Shi Hongzhao, a military attache?"

Chang Zijin said: "Yeah, I'm surprised too! If the civil servants are greedy and frame the military attachés, it's normal for the emperor to kill the military attachés, but it's a bit strange to kill them all at once!"

Pang Shishi looked at Feng Jiuxiao again, looking forward to the explanation!

Feng Jiuxiao said: "I don't know the specific situation, but I guess Emperor Yin wanted to stabilize the imperial power, so he killed these high-ranking veterans! This is to get rid of the constraints on him, right, Brother Liu?"

Liu Mizhou raised his thumb and said: "That's right! That Yang Bing is a relative, and he, Shi Hongzhao, and Su Fengchun are all ministers who care about life. After his father succeeded to the throne, the government has been controlled by these three people. No matter what the father wants to do, the three of them It’s not okay to make irresponsible remarks, and it’s not okay to do that, without considering the emperor’s feelings! Who wants to be a puppet, so kill him!”

Feng Jiuxiao said regretfully: "Your father is actually a little impulsive!"

Liu Mizhou sighed: "Yes, it's a pity that it has been suppressed for too long, and once the emotion breaks out, it will get out of control!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Then the next person he will deal with is Guo Wei, right?"

Liu Miezhou said: "Yes, he secretly ordered Chanzhou and Yedu to send troops to assassinate Wang Yin and Guo Wei. He also rushed to conquer Tianping, Pinglu, Yongxing, Taining and other towns to talk about the capital. For a moment, people were panicked!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Can people not be panic-stricken? A rabbit dies and a fox grieves, and everything harms its own kind! Your father only wants to have great power, and he has no time to think about how to divide the generals! He has no time to think about how to use his strength to attack those powerful ministers who dare to compete with him! Continuously cultivate his power until he takes control of the situation. Unfortunately, he is too anxious and his methods are too brutal! He kills indiscriminately!"

Pang Shiwu said: "Indiscriminate killing will only arouse greater hatred! Then Guo Wei failed to kill, forcing him to rebel, right?"

Liu Miezhou sighed a little, "Yes! He was jealous of Guo Wei, so he destroyed the entire Guo family! Unfortunately, Guo Wei was still fighting on the front line with the Liao soldiers at that time! Oh, it really feels like a dream! You can't believe that my father sent me to The assassin who assassinated Guo Wei was actually a close associate of Guo Wei! This is God’s will!”

Pang Shishi was startled, "What? No way? Your father is too... what the hell? Doesn't this mean digging a hole for yourself?" The word "too stupid" was finally suppressed!

Liu Mizhou sighed, "Otherwise, it's all God's will! Originally Guo Wei's ambition was not big, and he was suppressed by Shi Hongzhao. Now that Shi Hongzhao is gone, the emperor doubts him again, and not only kills all his His wife, children, and children are sending assassins to the front lines, and he can’t help but resist!”

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Looking at your current state, you have indeed let go!"

Liu Miezhou said: "Yes! I really let it go!"

Pang Shishi said: "What happened next? That Liu Jiyuan..."

Liu Miezhou's eyes flashed, "Why are you anxious? Guo Wei rebelled and destroyed me, the Later Han Dynasty. My whole family died, escaping and escaping. My name is Miezhou. Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty has been destroyed, I don't care anymore." !" As he spoke, he drank up the jade cicada wine in the bowl!

Pang Shishi poured him another bowl and said with a smile: "Liu Jiyuan, Liu Jiyuan..."

Liu Mizhou laughed and said: "My uncle Liu Chong was the governor of Hedong and Yin of Taiyuan at that time. After hearing that Guo Wei was proclaimed emperor, he immediately followed his example and proclaimed himself emperor based on the twelve states of Hedong, still using the Qianyou year of the Later Han Dynasty. For the sake of distinction, everyone calls them the Northern Han Dynasty. After my uncle died, his son Liu Chengjun succeeded him and changed his name to Liu Jun. I don’t know how Liu Jun died, but my retainers have always kept in touch with them. Later, his nephew Liu Jien succeeded him. Who would have thought that Liu Jien was killed by an enshrinement official named Hou Barong, so Liu Jiyuan became the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty. By the way, Liu Jun not only had no son, but his nephew also died. , so this Liu Jiyuan is his adopted son. Strictly speaking, he is no longer of the Liu family’s blood!”

Pang Shishi said: "Brother Liu, if you go to the Northern Han Dynasty to become the emperor, you are the orthodox bloodline of the Later Han royal family!"

Liu Miezhou said: "Do you think those powerful ministers would be willing to be controlled by others? Even if I clean up the Northern Han Dynasty and take over the power, the small area of ​​the Northern Han Dynasty will face the attack from both sides by the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty. Either I will rely on the Liao Dynasty to become an emperor. Either surrender to the Song Dynasty and be demoted to the common people, no matter what the choice is, there will be no good results, why should I bother? I don’t have that fate!”

Thanks to Yudong for your strong support!
