The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 612 The City of Green Mountains
The wind is in the ears, the wind is in the ears, people who can serve the emperor, even if they are beggars, will be respected.Not to mention, they are still serving in such an important place as the Royal Study Room.

It's just that whether the two young masters of the Zhu family can withstand the test of Zhao Dongting and the temptation of the court is obviously still an inconclusive matter.

When Zhao Dongting used Ren Wei, it took a long time to test, and he obviously had the same plan for the two young masters of the Zhu family.

After the two young masters of the Zhu family calmed down a bit, he spoke again and said to Zhu Zongyao: "Master Zhu, I also have something to trouble you to do."

Zhu Zongyao was already grateful to Zhao Dongting and more grateful, he bowed his hands respectfully and said: "Please give orders from the emperor."

"It's not really a big deal."

Zhao Dongting smiled softly and said: "When I went to Liuqiu on this trip, I found a good seedling who practiced martial arts. He was from Waizhangjia Village, Haikang County. He was only five years old. I studied him carefully. This little guy has perseverance and endurance. He also endured hardships, so I promised him to find a good master for him. I don’t know if you have time to teach this son, Dianzhu Zhu?”

Zhu Zongyao didn't hesitate, but said: "The emperor's favorite seedling, Zhu Zongyao is naturally willing to teach. But why doesn't the emperor let the seniors in the Hall of Glory accept disciples in person?"

Zhao Dongting shook his head, "Too high a starting point may not be a good thing. What I mean is that you should take him to exercise with all the priests in the Anwei Hall first."

Zhu Zongyao nodded, "Then Zhu will send someone to pick him up?"

Zhao Dongting pondered slightly, "It's not too urgent to send someone over to observe him first. I told him when I left Haikang that he should not forget to exercise his arms at home. If he really does what I say, he will If he picks up Haikang, his parents and family members can also pick it up, and the fate between me and him will not be in vain. If he doesn't keep my words in mind, then he can only say that there is no fate between him and me, and then Let him live a peaceful life among the people!"

"it is good."

Zhu Zongyao agreed.

Afterwards, Zhu Zongyao and his son left the palace compound together.

Zhu Zongyao went back to Wudingtang, and Zhu Hecong and Zhu Haiwang went back to Zhu's house, preparing to enter the imperial court as Xiaohuangmen.

A few days passed quickly.

The Xixia army marched straight in until Chongqing, a city of green hills that had been devastated by the war.

More than half of the 5 men of the White Horse Army were lost in Yongmu, and thousands of soldiers were separated. In the end, less than 2 men were left to recover Tongchuan, so they dared not make any further resistance.

After retreating all the way, the Kuizhou Road, which had just been included in the bag, was considered to be under the control of the Xixia Army.Chongqing Mansion is now the last foothold of the White Horse Army. If they do not resist here, if they still retreat, they will have to retreat to Shuzhong.At that time, Kuizhou Road will no longer have any relationship with them.

Kuizhou Road Fuling City in Fuzhou.

Li Wangyuan, the new emperor of Xixia, brought more than [-] Xixia soldiers Zhu Jun here, looking at Chongqing Mansion in the distance.

It was in the evening at this time, Li Wangyuan, Zhongsun Qifu and other veteran officials, He Liancheng and other young generals gathered in his handsome tent, all of them looked ugly.

The six masters of Yipintang came out of Xixia, and now they come back, but only four of them came back.

It doesn't matter, the important thing is that they failed to bring Zhao Bing, the king of Song Guang, back.This undoubtedly put Xixia in an extremely passive position.

Sitting behind the desk, Li Wangyuan looked at the four first-class masters who were ashamed in front of him, with a gloomy expression, "Why did you fail?"

The strong man in the mid-stage of the True Martial Realm is Donggu, the long-famous martial arts master in Xixia. Hearing Li Wangyuan's words, he cupped his hands and replied, "Go back to the emperor, we are the ones who are incompetent. In Guangwang's mansion, there is Xie Lisan, the big devil who ranks third in the list of Jianghu masters, sitting in the town." , I wait... not his opponent."

"Xie Lisan?"

Li Wangyuan was so startled that he almost stood up, but fortunately, after returning to Xixia, he tried his best to remain mature and prudent, so he couldn't let his butt leave the chair.

He himself is a master of Shangyuan Realm. He had no hope of returning to the country when he was in Yuan Dadu, so he just concentrated on practicing martial arts, so he couldn't avoid dabbling in the news of Jianghu masters.

Xie Lisan's name is high on the list of masters in the Jianghu, it is obviously difficult for him not to know.

This guy who is second only to Master Yuan and Sword God Kong Dangzi deserves to be the Great Master of Demon Dao.

It is impossible for Li Wangyuan not to be surprised, because such a master of magic has no reason to serve that mere King Guang.

Could it be that Zhao Bing has any favors for him?
Knowing that Xie Lisan was here, Li Wangyuan also understood that it was really no wonder Gu Dong and others failed to rob Zhao Bing in this trip.

The higher the level of a person, the more he can imagine how terrifying those guys who are in the top ten of the Jianghu list are.

Li Wangyuan managed to suppress the surprise in his heart, turned his head and asked Zhongsun Qifu: "Teacher, what should we do next?"

He really didn't have any ideas in his mind.

Originally planned to hijack Zhao Bing in exchange for his younger sister, but now that the hijacking failed, it is conceivable that the Song court has undoubtedly heard the news.

The alliance between Xixia and Song Dynasty should have taken advantage of the trend, but it may not be possible.

The old Zhongsun Qifu also frowned slightly, and first confessed: "The old minister heard that the spies in the Chao Mansion were uprooted by the Song Dynasty's military intelligence department on Guangnan West Road, and they failed to find out the truth of the Guangwang Mansion, which led to the failure of the ancient worshippers. The crime of the emperor, please forgive me."

Immediately afterwards, he continued: "Now it's time to scare the snake away. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty must have known our thoughts. There is no need to continue to pretend to be a snake. The old minister thought that we can only continue to send troops to Chongqing Mansion and take down the entire Kuizhou Road first. Then think of other ways to welcome Her Royal Highness Princess Xiushu back from the hands of the Song Dynasty."

Li Wangyuan frowned, "What the Song Dynasty wanted was Kuizhou Road, if they didn't exchange Kuizhou, how could they be willing to let Xiushu back?"

Zhongsun Qifu immediately came out and knelt down on the ground, "The old minister begged the emperor to put state affairs first! This Kuizhou was bought by the soldiers in exchange for flesh and blood, and it must not be handed over to the Song Dynasty!"

Li Wangyuan said in a low voice, "Ke Xiushu is my own sister!"

All the ministers and generals in the hall knelt down, "I implore the emperor to put state affairs first!"

To them, Li Xiushu is obviously not as important as Kuizhou Road.

Li Wangyuan's eyes fluctuated, and he murmured: "If I can't even take care of my relatives, how can I set an example for all people in the future?"

This topic is actually a commonplace in the Xixia court.

In the past, when Zhongsun Qifu and other veteran officials heard what Li Wangyuan said, they would only try to persuade them, or simply expose it.But this time, Zhongsun Qifu acted extremely resolutely.

He stood up abruptly, "If the emperor refuses to agree, then the old minister will be bumped to death in this handsome tent!"

After all, he actually bumped into the sharp corner of the desk next to him.

Fortunately, there was an old official behind him who was not too slow to react, and quickly grabbed him by the back of his clothes, "Master Zhongsun!"

Even this old minister was taken aback by Zhongsun Qifu. It can be seen that Zhongsun Qifu was no joke.

The officials in the tent looked at Li Wangyuan anxiously, "Your Majesty!"

Li Wangyuan looked at Zhongsun Qifu, there was no anger in his eyes, he just sighed deeply: "You...Zhen...Oh, let this matter be like this!"

The officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a slight smile trickled down from the depths of Zhongsun Qifu's eyes.

In the entire Western Xia, he is undoubtedly the person who knows Li Wangyuan best.

Li Wangyuan seemed to lose interest, and waved his hands, "You all go down, let me be quiet."

All civil servants and military generals lined up in turn.

Zhongsun Qifu took a deep look at Li Wangyuan, and finally walked out of the tent.

There are other veterans waiting for him outside the tent, all of them are loyal veterans headed by him who have devoted themselves to Xixia over the years.

A group of people walked farther and farther away from the handsome tent, and someone sighed: "Master Zhongsun, why bother to be so impulsive this time, you have just become the emperor's teacher, and you are so disobedient and persecuting the emperor, I am afraid that the emperor will be dissatisfied with you..."

Zhongsun Qifu just smiled lightly and shook his head without saying a word.

Perhaps, in a short period of time, Li Wangyuan will really be dissatisfied with him.But as long as a little later, he believes that the emperor will only trust and rely on him more.

Is the emperor's heart determined as always to exchange Kuizhou Road for Princess Li Xiushu? Others can't see it, can't he see it?
With the emperor's temperament, if he is really as determined as before, then even if Zhongsun Qifu is really killed, it will be useless.

Furthermore, if the emperor wants to change, he will not wait until the moment when the battle situation on Kuizhou Road is close to clear and not send envoys to the Song Dynasty.

In the emperor's heart, he actually had the idea to abandon Princess Xiushu.

Perhaps from the moment the emperor ascended the throne, the emperor's thoughts were already different from before.

His Zhongsun Qifu just now was just a deliberate effort to give the emperor a step down.The crime of abandoning the princess was to be borne by him, Zhongsun Qifu.
