The rise of the prince

Chapter 474
He Zhao is not alone, he is in the side position, and there are not many people in the side position who can let He Zhao saddle.

He Zhao's face was dark for a long time, his lips trembled like a sieve, and finally he couldn't hold back his curse.
There was a reason why he didn't make a sound, not that his temper had changed, but because there were two old men and women standing next to him, with dozens of armored guards.

Li Xingzhou recognized them at a glance. Although they behaved low-key, didn't wear fancy clothes, and didn't ride in precious cars, his eyes were still shining and squinted deeply, and he remembered them firmly——Jingguo Emperor Li Zhe, his blood His own grandfather was also one of the few people who made him feel pressured.

Accompanying her is the current empress Wu Huaixuan, her grandma after a wealthy family in Central Shu, not a curse.

Apart from He Zhao, he also saw the emperor accompanied by Wei Li, Eunuch Fu An, and Tang Zhouwei, that fat man, who was smiling when he saw him.

The atmosphere was very delicate, because the little girl He Qian was still in his arms, she was so frightened that she quickly jumped down, bowed her head and dared not speak, as if she was paying respects to the emperor and queen.

He Zhao's face was blackened, but the queen looked at the little girl with a smile, helped her up with her own hands, and then took her little hand. He Zhao probably knew that there was no way out, and even his jaw was shaking with anger.

Eunuch Fu An hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's nice to be young, the emperor's empress is so lucky."

The queen laughed, and the emperor also smiled rarely, except for He Zhao, the scapegoat, everyone laughed, and He Qian, who was pulled by the queen, blushed so much that he was about to bleed.

After Li Xingzhou and He Qian paid their respects to the emperor and empress, they rushed to welcome everyone into the mansion, and they could only cancel their plan to go fishing. Although they don't know why the emperor and empress came here, it is impossible to leave them here and ignore them.

The servants in the villa didn't know who came, but they knew that they were important people, and they got busy, preparing face wash, towels, washing away the dust for the adults, and then serving tea, preparing seats, adding braziers, and lighting incense .

After a while, Wang Tong, who heard the wind, also came to pay a low-key visit, and Tubi Mountain Villa suddenly became lively.

Li Xingzhou accompanied the emperor, He Zhao, Tang Zhouwei and others, while the empress dragged the blushing He Qian to the back hall. If it wasn't for the emperor, He Zhao's eyes seemed to clearly indicate that he wanted to single out himself.

Li Xingzhou doesn't bother to talk to him, he looks for a concubine himself, so why don't I date your daughter?Everyone is half a catty
After a brief conversation, Li Xingzhou found out that the emperor and the empress had been bored in the palace for a long time, and this time they came out to relax and visit privately without disturbing the local government.

The emperor asked him a lot about Jiangzhou's situation, most of which were about Jiangzhou's previous situation. Li Xingzhou answered them one by one, and he knew in his heart that he might have seen Jiangzhou once before coming to the mansion.
He Zhao, Tang Zhouwei, and Wang Tong were in the second seat, interjecting from time to time. After a while, the room became warmer because of the addition of a brazier.

"Okay, well done!" After the emperor asked, he said yes twice, and then took a sip from his teacup: "If someone else hadn't mentioned it, I was still kept in the dark by those thieves, why didn't I talk to you at the beginning?" a."

The emperor said with a serious face, and taught: "Could it be that you are more aggressive and think you have that ability, so you don't explain the situation to me?"

As he spoke, he shook his head, his eyes were stern, and he said earnestly: "You have to remember that in a high position in a wealthy family, there is no prestige.

But at the same time, it is also taboo to love too much!
Self-respect and self-love are good, but in a high position, you have to know the balance and how to be yourself.The governor has priorities, big and small, and the small ones, and the big ones, and being able to bend and stretch, this is the greatest ability!
Hmph, your poor worries, self-esteem, and wanting to be strong are unnecessary, understand. "

Li Xingzhou nodded.

"If something like this happens again next time, you should report it truthfully, and I will deal with it myself." The emperor said as he put down the teacup in his hand, with a serious tone.

"Although you did a good job this time, you have to understand that if there is a slight mistake, you will be the one who stumbled!

If it wasn't for Chen Yu's desperate life to help you, maybe you would have been killed this time, but if you had reported the truth to me from the beginning, where would there be so many twists and turns?Do you understand this truth? "The emperor tapped on the table.

Li Xingzhou nodded: "Understood." He said so in his mouth, but he thought in his heart, I understand, but if I report it to you, how can I cheat Yu Chengan's people to death.

Opportunity is never to be missed, time never comes, how many times can there be such an opportunity in life?
Like Zhao Zilong in Changshan, Changbanpo has only one opportunity, the key is that he can seize the opportunity, without hesitation, without hesitation, and move forward bravely.Therefore, the eternal celebrity lies in seizing the opportunity.

Grasping an opportunity is the most difficult thing to learn. If he misses this opportunity, he may never be able to kill Yu Chengan, because if De Gong and Zhong Daoyu come together, it will be He Zhao and Yu Chengan, and there will be no chance to deal with it at that time.

Seeing that he didn't talk back, the emperor was very relieved, "It's good to understand, I heard that banditry happened on Jingbei Road?"

Li Xingzhou nodded, and explained everything about the Black Mountain bandits attacking Wei Teng and robbing the military rations.

Everyone in the main hall listened quietly and frowned after hearing this. He Zhao didn't care to stare at him, frowned and said: "The crossbow made of beef tendon and hardwood is a military weapon, and it is strictly forbidden to sell it outside. Where did they get so many crossbows? The generals of the local defenders dereliction of duty, so they lied about the military situation, so as to shirk their responsibility."

Li Xingzhou nodded inwardly. He Zhao is an old man, and he could have imagined this possibility at once. If Wang Tong had his vigilance and understanding of the dangers in the world, he would not have been cheated by the counties for large sums of money and food under the name of Black Bandits.

He shook his head: "At first I thought so too, but then Guanbei Jiedu envoy Wei Chaoren's daughter wrote a letter to confirm that this matter is indeed true. First, she is not from Taiyuan Mansion and will not cover it up; It's an old acquaintance, you can trust her."

"Hmph, the prince is very romantic, young, and has friendship with any daughter," He Zhao murmured with a black face.

"." Li Xingzhou was speechless. What nonsense are you talking about? I'm afraid you are jealous.

The emperor frowned: "So, this matter is not the work of ordinary thieves and bandits, what does Xingzhou think?"

As soon as the emperor said, everyone looked over.

He is the transshipment envoy of Jingbei, and the power in this matter is in his hands. Except for the emperor, others have no right to interfere. At most, they can offer advice and help.

Li Xingzhou clasped his hands and analyzed: "I have thought about it carefully, there are three possibilities for this matter.

First, some people in the army colluded with the Black Mountain bandits, otherwise they would not be able to get so many crossbows to break through Weizhou.

But the first possibility is unlikely, because the Yang family army in Taiyuan is in the north of Taihang Mountain, and Yang Wenguang, the emperor, should know that it is impossible to collude with the Black Mountain bandits.

To the south are the Jiangxian Army and the Jiangzhou Xiang Army. Jiang Xian Army was transferred to Guanbei earlier, and the Jiangzhou Xiang Army is loyal. Dutong is the Shen Lin who killed his relatives righteously. The emperor must know it. "

After he finished speaking, everyone nodded, and Li Xingzhou continued: "The second possibility is to buy it."

"My lord, this is a heavy weapon in the military. It is unlikely to be bought or sold. Even if there is a sale, it is impossible to have so many." Wei Li, the commander of Shangzhi's personal guards, first questioned. He is familiar with the military, so it is normal to raise such questions.

"The truth is true, not only Jing Kingdom, but also Liao Kingdom and Xixia Kingdom prohibit the sale of such weapons.

But whether the decree can reach the city and be practiced throughout the country is another matter. "Li Xingzhou said bluntly: "Now the Xixia emperor is fatuous, cowardly and incompetent, and the upper class is corrupt. "

As soon as these words came out, He Zhao and Wei Li opened their mouths wide in surprise, and the emperor was also slightly shocked, "Is this true?"

Li Xingzhou understood their reaction, because Jingguo still had a peace treaty with Xixia, but back then they fought a great national war.

Jingguo fought smoothly at first, but 3000 men and horses wearing cold-forged iron kites abruptly turned the tide of the battle. In the end, neither side took advantage of it, so they could only negotiate a peace.

The three thousand iron harriers can be said to be the foundation of the Xixia Kingdom, and everyone still remembers it, and it is not a good memory. Now that it is sold, they will not be shocked.
