The rise of the prince

Chapter 513 The Great Talent Liu Xu
"You country bumpkin, are you deaf and didn't listen to the old lady! This is not a sedan chair, it's a matter of official dignity! If you don't accompany me, we will go to the yamen to reason, and then we will see that the official in the yamen will help you. Mud legs, still be my son-in-law!" The woman put her hands on her hips and pressed her every step of the way.

The young official couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward to persuade him: "My lord mother-in-law, you are only a commoner, so why bother to force you, besides, it's not a big deal."

"You know what a fart! His family has a lot of money, and the ancestral grave is smoking for the work of the palace. I don't know how much it has earned." The woman whispered to her son-in-law, with greed and jealousy in her tone.

Immediately, the woman turned around and forced Uncle Yu to pay the money.

Uncle Yu was afraid in his heart, he actually had 500 taels, but it was the first year's wages for the palace as a foreman, not only his, but also the money of his fellow workers, he, his son and many other workers' savings for a year of hard work.

He couldn't give it when he was hot, but he was very scared in his heart. The son-in-law on the opposite side was an official, a real official!

If it really got to the yamen, wouldn't it be easy for the official to kill him, a commoner!

The woman was aggressive, and Uncle Yu was sweating profusely. At this time, the wife and son who heard the news from the door also came out to check the situation. After realizing it, they were shocked.

"Is it true that you don't see anyone?" Wanyan Yingge asked.

Liu Xu shook his head: "I can't see you, so as not to cause trouble, we will go north in a few days."

Wanyan Yingge hesitated for a moment, saw that his brows were tightly furrowed and said in a low voice, "Today is the Chinese New Year for you Han people, why don't you go out for a walk?"

Liu Xu shook his head again: "You can't make a big mess, especially at this time, the more you can't let the emperor catch us. The alliance letter has been sent to the palace, and the result is just these two days. If something happens to us at this time Mistakes will give Jingren an excuse to delay."

Wanyan Yingge looked at his determined expression, and reminded: "If you leave this time, you may never have the chance to return to your homeland in the Central Plains."

Liu Xu looked at the posthouse's closed door, his eyes were in a trance, and he remained silent.

There was an inexplicable emotion in Wanyan Yingge's heart, she couldn't explain why, she stared blankly at this man in his fifties, who was sophisticated and sophisticated, without him, they couldn't do anything on this trip.

"Why are you so loyal to your father?" Wanyan Yingge asked.

Liu Xu slowly sat down on the chair beside her: "The emperor saved my life."

"When did this happen?"

Liu Xu took a sip of tea, "That year the Bohai generation created a plague of locusts, almost no crops were harvested, and there was famine everywhere. But at this time, the local powerful and powerful families were hoarding grain, which caused the price of grain to skyrocket.
The imperial court's disaster relief money might be enough in normal times, but at that time, with the cooperation of powerful families, the price of food has more than doubled by more than [-] times.No matter how much money the imperial court had, it fell into their pockets under the collusion of local officials and big households, but the food they bought was far from enough to relieve the victims.

i sold my son
The wife who accompanied me for half my life ate a stomach full of soil, bark and grass roots, and died in my arms."

Wanyan Yingge stared at him dumbfounded, she never knew that Liu Xu had such a past, she only knew that Liu Xu was a Han Chinese who came to vote for her father early, and came when she couldn't remember clearly.

But his father reused him and made great changes in the Jurchen tribe, so that their Jurchen grew stronger day by day.

The more Liu Xu said, the more disappointed he shook his head: "At that time, I knew that Jingguo was hopeless. It has been in power for more than two hundred years, and its ills have accumulated. When it is about to die, the local powerful and powerful clans rise together, and foreign powerful enemies surround them.

So I wandered all the way north, and just when I thought I was going to die, I met the emperor.He didn't mind that I was a Han Chinese, so he gave me broth, food and clothing, and survived. "

Wanyan Yingge couldn't speak. When he was in Liaodong, Liu Xu was excluded and almost assassinated several times.

His reforms made Jurchen strong and united, but some people thought it was a betrayal of their ancestors and Jurchen tradition.

Liu Xu is a demon who deceives the crowd and their leader with demonic words, and wishes to tear him into pieces.

Among them, her second uncle, Wanyan Zongbi, the No. [-] Jurchen general, and her former self were among the leaders.

Liu Xu, a man in his early fifties, never said anything. With the support of his father, he did it silently and continued to reform silently. among.

The movements of Jing Kingdom's court, the movements of Pingnan Palace, the war in the north, and the threat of Jin Kingdom, he thought about everything.

Thinking of this, Wanyan Yingge suddenly felt that going back might be unfair to him: "You shouldn't go back, maybe you can stay here."

Many people in the Jurchens hate him, even though he has done so much to make the Jurchens stronger, but not everyone will understand this truth, just like her back then.

it's dangerous for him to go back
Liu Xu gave a rare smile, "Thank you princess for your concern. I'm already over half a century old, and I won't live long anyway. I've already thought about this. There are some things that I have to personally remind the emperor, so that I can die with peace of mind."

Wanyan Yingge was speechless for a moment, she always felt that this man was very brave, even braver than the brave warriors of the Kingdom of Jin who were not afraid of death.

The silent struggle continues.

"Is the golden man still in the post house?" In the Kunning Palace, the emperor put down the vermilion pen and asked Fu'an beside him.

Eunuch Fu An nodded, "According to the latest news from Wu Desi, the Jinren didn't make a move."

The emperor sighed and pinched the corners of his eyes, he knew that he had failed and Jing Guo had been cornered.

He originally wanted to use another method, as a last resort, to catch some mistakes and omissions of the golden envoys, let them "commit crimes", and use this as a condition to threaten to win a few more cities for Jingguo. Even if there is no major town.

But that Liu Xu was obviously not someone who would wait for nothing. Before, he had aggressively recruited officials from Beijing and Central China to meet everyone, but when the covenant was finalized, when the two sides made a pledge, he suddenly closed the door, did not go out, did not receive guests, and did not leak water!People can't find any opportunities.

The more this is the case, the more headaches the emperor will have. Liu Xu may be the disaster of Jingguo.

Such knowledge and scheming is really rare, so I had no choice but to say in the end: "Let's get people to withdraw, let Honglu Temple inform the Jin people that at noon on the eighth day, I will take a bath to worship the heavens, and then outside the Meridian Gate, I will make an alliance with Jin Guo .”

Fu'an nodded, and hurriedly went down to give orders, leaving only the emperor with his eyes closed.

In fact, Jingguo's situation is becoming more and more unfavorable. No matter how Zhongshu publicizes or writes articles, the emperor knows the real overall situation.
Even after sending troops to capture Nanjing this year, the Kingdom of Jin still occupies most of Xijing Road and Nanjing Road, eyeing Jing Kingdom covetously.

the most important is
The emperor opened a secret folder at hand, which was sent by Yang Wenguang, the magistrate of Taiyuan and leader of the military of the Three Kingdoms, and it was only this afternoon that he was secretly presented to him from the Privy Council.

The content of Yang Wenguang's compromise is very sensitive.

According to his unannounced visits, he discovered that Xixia was secretly increasing troops to the Lvliang generation on the border with Jingguo, and there were also Xixia merchants who secretly provided palace crossbow weapons to the bandits of the Luliang Mountain and Taihang Mountain generations. It has not been a year or two.

Because Jingguo and Xixia originally had a covenant that they would not attack each other, Jingguo has always been on guard against the Liao Kingdom in the north, and its attention has always been on the north, so that Yang Wenguang only discovered the small movements of the Xixia people after so many years.

The emperor silently put down the booklet in his hand, and the mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building.

　Don't go to work on Saturday and Sunday, let everyone explode
