Chapter 412 Doing Better Than All of Them

Lin Fan walked over quickly and asked, "Why are you here?"

Master Xu patted Xu Kuang on the shoulder, asked his grandson to put him down, and then looked up at Lin Fan.

Although the door is closed, Mr. Xu has a clear picture of what is going on outside these days.

Xie Yu and Lin Fan had two proclamations, he also had someone find them and read them carefully.

After reading it, it is naturally impossible to say that you have no idea.

These thoughts are not only aimed at Lin Fan, but also a basket of words to the emperor, Mr. Xu.

However, it is all hidden in the stomach.

The emperor's grandson raised troops, and the emperor sticks to the capital. This is a given.

Even, what kind of direction and ending will be in the end, Master Xu can already foresee.

He is the Taifu of Da Zhou and also a praying mantis.

The wheels are rolling towards the end, and the mantis is like a car, how can it be stopped?

As for speaking to the emperor, Master Xu never thought about it.

He knows the emperor too well.

If today the emperor had the upper hand and Xu Taifu bowed his head, there would still be a superficial peace between the monarch and his ministers, teachers and students.

However, now the emperor is completely at a disadvantage.

Master Xu stood up and said this and that, no matter whether he himself meant to insinuate or not, it would be very harsh to the emperor's ears.

At that time, disputes are inevitable.

Taifu Xu is not afraid of continuing to quarrel with the emperor, but Da Zhou is now in a situation of fighting for the throne, and if something happens to him, the court will inevitably become even more chaotic.

Therefore, he was still hanging around at home, listening to some progress outside.

I thought that this battle would have to be a stalemate for a long time, but I never thought that when I woke up in the morning, the result had already been reached.

Taifu Xu has been in good health since he recuperated, his family supported him up the ladder, a carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, and Xu Kuang carried it in.

He had to meet Lin Fan first.

"You..." Master Xu held Lin Fan's arm.

Lin Fan lowered his eyes and looked all ears.

Master Xu stopped talking when he was on the verge of speaking.

He obviously has a lot of words, and he is obviously a sharp-tongued one. He doesn't even need a belly script for this kind of thing, he can just open his mouth...

"It's a big treason."

"Acting too sharply."

"Even if the odds are good, the siege of the capital is too easy to hurt the hearts of the people, so it's fine to have a quick victory. If it is delayed for a long time, the common people will suffer."

……

However, these words rolled in Xu Taifu's throat a few times, and finally swallowed them again.

Behind the clouds, the morning light shone, reflecting on Lin Fan's young face.

Taifu Xu looked at him, and suddenly, he seemed to see the former prince again, seeing the words and smiles of the former prince.

In all fairness, he didn't like the first prince that much before.

Zhao Lin is too lonely and brave.

Grand Tutor Xu has always insisted that the Great Zhou does not need an emperor who wants to lead the conquest personally, what he needs is an emperor who sits in the golden palace and makes the court stable.

It is what the generals should do to expand the territory.

There is no shortage of generals in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Back then, the Great Zhou Dynasty had the most outstanding command of the three armies and the most heroic generals.

At the same time, it is time to pay close attention to internal affairs.

But Zhao Lin didn't listen to him on this matter and insisted on going south.

On the contrary, it was Zhao Li who stayed in Beijing obediently, sharing worries and handling government affairs for Emperor Jianlong.

Later, Zhao Lin died, on Mount Tai.

Taifu Xu even thought, is this a choice made by God for Da Zhou?

It was not until more than twenty years later that he learned from Lin Fan's proclamation that it was not God who made the choice, but the younger brother who took his elder brother's life.

The call to action is Lin Fan's one-sided words.

But Master Xu knew it was not a lie. If he hadn't murdered his brother back then, the emperor would not have reacted like that after Lin Fan told the world.

Now, seeing "Zhao Lin" again, he was suddenly a little confused.

If Zhao Lin ascended the throne, what would Da Zhou look like today?
Zhao Lin might not listen to him, but Zhao Lin still respects him and respects him as a teacher.

It's not that he is so good at being a teacher that he must raise his own identity, but that respect is the premise of dialogue.

It doesn't matter if you talk about it, or you have a big quarrel, just discuss the matter, many things, who has a higher opinion and who is lower, isn't it all about discussing and debating, so that each other can improve and improve each other?
The emperor just lost this "respect" and was complacent, so they couldn't just discuss the facts.

so that...

Master Xu sighed.

If it was the former prince Zhao Lin, would he have reached the stage where the emperor is now?
Mrs. Xu said it was not good.

Just like what he said before when he unraveled Taishi Huang, time will bring about many changes, and one cannot be trapped by the past, nor can one be bound by it and dare not look forward to the future.

Just remember "here and now" when making any decision.

This is the moment to decide what is right and what is wrong.

Thinking of this, Master Xu's expression softened a lot.

He looked at Lin Fan and thought to himself, there's nothing wrong with the emperor's grandson being so high-spirited.

"Let the old man take a look at the will," he said.

Lin Fan complied, and handed over the imperial edict that he carried with him to Grand Tutor Xu.

Xu Taifu took it with both hands, maybe he was old, maybe he was excited, his hands trembled.

In this way, he untied the tie and unfolded the edict.

The handwriting on it was not the late emperor's, Xu Taifu could recognize it at a glance, this handwriting was written by Lu Gonggong, the great servant next to the late emperor.

Come to think of it.

The late emperor was very ill at that time, and it was impossible for him to write in person, but the content above is undoubtedly the oral order of the late emperor.

It is even more impossible to fake the clear imperial seal.

Taifu Xu came back and forth, looking at it very seriously.

He could almost imagine under what circumstances and in what mood the late emperor prepared such a will.

Thinking of the first emperor, Xu Taifu felt extremely uncomfortable.

Lin Fan didn't urge Grand Tutor Xu, but only let the army continue to follow Yongninghou to the Jinluan Hall.

The soldiers who had been sent out as scouts came back in a hurry.

"The Golden Luan Hall has been sealed," he said, "Emperor Qing Yuan sealed himself and his courtiers inside the hall."

Lin Fan frowned suddenly.

Seal the hall?
If you want to take hundreds of officials as hostages, you must have matching personnel.

Zhao Li supposedly didn't have that kind of strength anymore.

"How many people are guarding outside the Golden Temple?" Lin Fan asked.

"Not many," the scout replied, "just fifty or sixty guards and internal servants. However, the windows are all boarded up. I don't know what's going on inside, so we can't force it."

After Lin Fan heard it, he knew what he was saying: "I'll go there right now, and let the old master wait for a while."

The scout saluted and went back to the front.

Lin Fan looked at Master Xu again.

Master Xu's gaze was still fixed on the will, but he couldn't see anything clearly at the moment.

His eyes filled with tears.

Without wiping away his tears, Master Xu skillfully rewound the will and tied it up.

He used to do this all year round, even if he didn't need to look at it, he wouldn't go wrong.

Seeing his tears streaming down his face, Lin Fan felt uncomfortable.

The old matriarch had a sharp and upright temper all his life. In my impression, the last time I saw the old matriarch weep was when the eldest prince died of illness.

Besides, even if there was such a quarrel with Zhao Li, the old master would still hold his neck.

"Your Highness." Madam Xu called out suddenly.

Lin Fan was startled for a moment, and then said, "Say it."

Handing over the will to Lin Fan, Master Xu looked at him deeply, word by word, and said, "You have to do well, and do better than them all."

He is better than the former prince Zhao Lin and the current emperor Zhao Li.

Lin Fan laughed.

He didn't speak, but solemnly bowed to Master Xu.
