Zongwu: Kill the prince? !I break the gate of heaven with one sword

Chapter 129 Eliminate all evil!Let this Beiliang shake again

Zhong Hongwu was very annoying.

Since following Xu Xiao to Beiliang.

I, the general of Huaihua, has done a good job, sitting on the vast land of Lingzhou, in fact, he is no different from the emperor of Tu.

After so many years of continuous management and development of his own power, it can be said that the entire Lingzhou was built by him like an iron bucket.

Of course, this refers only to officials everywhere.

As for those people...

It can't be said that Zhong Hongwu doesn't care, at least how those people live is related to how much benefit he can squeeze out of those people.

Fortunately, for so many years, the luck of the whole Beiliang has become stronger and stronger, which will naturally affect the environment and resources of all parts of Beiliang.

This allowed Zhong Hongwu and most of the Zhong family to obtain great benefits from it.

"General, how should you deal with the Liu family who are clamoring to go to Liangzhou City to seek General Xu to sue you..."

A man dressed like a middle-aged scholar with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, standing in the pavilion with a flattering expression, was Zhong Hongwu who was constantly throwing bait out.

After hearing these words from the middle-aged man, Zhong Hongwu showed a slight displeasure on his face.

"When will I need to ask about such a small matter? You just watch and deal with it yourself."

no big deal?
"That precious little son of yours insulted the daughter-in-law of the Liu family who just passed through the family. After being found out, he simply killed the young couple. Do you call this a trivial matter?"

The middle-aged scribe couldn't help but slander, but it was impossible for him to show any dissatisfaction on his face. Otherwise, based on his understanding, if Zhong Hongwu knew what he was thinking, he would kill himself without hesitation. .

Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger?
Being by Zhong Hongwu's side is more dangerous than being by the emperor's side!

"My subordinates know."

Bowing respectfully to Zhong Hongwu, the middle-aged scribe retreated directly.

As for Zhong Hongwu.

Although this kind of thing was not a big deal to him, his bad mood became worse after hearing the news.

Regarding Xu Liang'an and Xu Xiao's promotion of Dragon Slaying Technique throughout the territory, almost the entire Lingzhou has begun to follow the orders conveyed from Qingliang Mountain.

How can Zhong Hongwu not be bothered by this kind of thing that can be said to completely annoy the balance of his own interests?He has worked so hard to manage it for so many years, and it seems that his success will fall short because of this Laoshizi dragon slaying technique.

Zhong Hongwu's heart was full of resentment!

The thought in his mind at this moment is that the world was clearly brought down by all of them working together, but why should Qingliang Mountain decide everything now?

Many years ago, when he was a young general who had just returned from a victorious battle with Xu Xiao, he naturally did not dare to have any objection to Xu Xiao's words, but now?As a general of Huaihua, he sits on the vast land of Lingzhou and masters the cavalry of Beiliang. He is equal to Liangzhou and Youzhou in terms of strength, so he doesn't need to be afraid of each other at all.

Why should Qingliangshan say what he wants to do?
Zhong Hongwu's heart was full of resentment.

He felt that all of this was achieved through his many years of hard work and his life-and-death experience on the battlefield, but now, just because of the fluffy paper on Qingliang Mountain, he is going to hand over all of these, He can't do it!
The emotional fluctuations made Zhong Hongwu's hand holding the fish food subconsciously force, and directly poured out most of the fish food all at once.

But no fish came.

Because with the qi that escaped from his body just now, the fish that had gathered here had already turned their bellies and floated quietly on the water surface of the pond.

"Come on!"

There was a sharp shout in his mouth!
Zhong Hongwu then turned around and left, but his face was full of hostility and killing intent...
-
"That's what our academy generally understands."

Qingliang Mountain, in the Northern Liang Palace.

A young Confucian scholar respectfully told all the things he knew to the world-renowned King of Beiliang and the son of Beiliang and Confucian sage Xu Liang'an before him, and then he turned and left.

After the father and son watched him leave, they sat down again.

"Isn't it the first time the Zhong family has done this kind of thing? Although I haven't deliberately learned about Lingzhou before, I have heard of many similar things."

Xu Liang'an looked at Xu Xiao lightly, his father's face was full of disappointment.

"However, you can be thankful that this is actually a good thing. The more the behavior of Zhong Hongwu and their Zhong family is like this, the more it shows that our choice is not wrong, and you don't have to feel so guilty about these former comrades-in-arms .”

Xu Liang'an has always understood Xu Xiao's mentality.

To put it bluntly, it is a contradiction.

It is impossible for the King of Northern Liang not to see the value of dragon slaying techniques. Of course he knows that once these things are popularized and completely become the current official system, it will be absolutely invaluable to all the people in the world. It is a good thing!

But after all.

It doesn't matter whether it is the king of Beiliang, or Zhong Hongwu, the general of Huaihua, including the land of Youzhou and other generals in Beiliang.

These people are basically life and death brothers who have followed Xu Xiao step by step to this position. Many people lost their children because of Xu Xiao, and many people lost their father because of Xu Xiao, just like Chen Zhibao.

So from the bottom of his heart, he hoped that these people would live a better life. Gradually, a compensatory psychology appeared in Xu Xiao's heart.

This is why Xu Xiao, who is clearly sharp-edged in dealing with the common people, chooses to be patient again and again in the face of what Zhong Hongwu and the Zhong family did before.

Originally, Xu Xiao felt that he actually understood Zhong Hongwu's nature better, and felt that the reason why he behaved like this now was actually more because he lived too many poor and hard days before, and suddenly became rich. , There will suddenly be such a situation where you can't control your inner desires.

But I didn't expect...

After so many years, Zhong Hongwu has no intention of repenting at all, what is just infinitely intensified...

Looking at his silent father, Xu Liang'an had a very casual expression on his face.He didn't care about the relationship between Zhong Hongwu and his father. Whether he was at least the son of Beiliang today or the Confucian saint of Shangyin Academy, it was impossible for him to ignore everything Zhong Hongwu had done.

As far as Zhong Hongwu, his family members, and descendants have done those unspeakable things, except for a very few cases, it is not too much for others to kill ten times!
"At first, I always thought that he would wake up sooner or later, so I never looked for him. When he came to Qingliangshan to apply for a job, I never mentioned these things."

Xu Xiao's voice sounded slowly, but at this moment it sounded extremely depressing and dull.

Then I saw him laughing at himself.

"Actually, I know that he was testing my attitude at the beginning, or that he thought I didn't know anything."

"But actually..."

"I know everything! He also underestimated Iksan's intelligence capabilities."

"From the first time he embezzled 1000 taels of Mexican military silver, it gradually became [-], [-], and [-]!"

"From the first time he sent people to discuss cooperation with those mountain bandits instead of destroying them, to later he simply cultivated his own gang of bandits secretly, let them plunder everywhere and finally collected all the wealth into the Huaihua Palace."

"From the first time he got drunk and lost his head, he forcibly occupied the body of an ordinary girl, and then he saw any girl who was beautiful without any scruples, and then forcibly took her back to the mansion."

"from……"

All of Zhong Hongwu's crimes were directly recounted by Xu Xiao.

If you just hold a piece of paper and read word by word, it’s fine, but these are all the contents that Xu Xiao directly recited from his own memory. From this point alone, we can know that Xu Xiao has paid attention to Zhong Hongwu. to what extent.

Xu Liang'an just listened to his father's words quietly, but his face became more and more gloomy.

Although he knew before that this Zhong Hongwu must have committed various crimes, but he had never really learned about it. Hearing this from his father at this time, he couldn't help but explode in his heart A strong murderous intent!
He was even a little angry with Xu Xiao.

"He has already looked like this, yet you still let him stay in peace and stability until now? Xu Xiao! What is in your head? Could it be that he has been rusted after staying in this cool mountain all year round?"

"I know you are worrying about brotherhood and friendship, but what's the use of worrying? Does Zhong Hongwu still care? If he still cares about these things, why would he do such things? Since he has already Don't care anymore, then why are you, Xu Xiao, still acting affectionate?"

Xu Liang'an was determined to discuss this matter thoroughly with his father today, so there was no sympathy in his words.

And anyway, there are only father and son here, no matter what they say, they won't be listened to by others, so Xu Liang'an is too lazy to think of words, but just say what comes to mind.

"Zhong Hongwu's crime, even if it was put on you, the king of Beiliang, would have been a major crime of the Zhujiu clan. I really don't understand why you would indulge him to such an extent."

But in fact, even though he said so, Xu Liang'an probably understood Xu Xiao's thoughts in his heart.

A dutiful son emerges from the stick.

This is a very philosophical statement.

Not only treat their own children, but also treat their subordinates and colleagues in the same way.Punish when it's time to punish, and reward when it's time to reward. Only in this way can you really help the other party regulate their behavior.

And Xu Xiao obviously failed to do this!He has always felt indebted to Zhong Hongwu and others in his heart, otherwise there would not be so many adopted sons around him.

Of course, Xu Liang'an didn't mean that this kind of mentality was bad.

Everyone in the world said that Xu Xiao was a human butler, but they didn't know that he was actually a kind person in his heart.

Otherwise, Jiang Ni, the princess of Xichu, would not have been left after the invasion of the Xichu Palace.Nor will he accept so many talented people from the old country of the previous dynasty for his own use.

But it is also because of his kindness that he is often reluctant to attack those old friends around him.

Isn't Yang Taisui a precedent?
He had known for a long time that the white clothes case in the capital had a lot to do with Yang Taisui, but he never did anything against Yang Taisui, because he thought in his heart that the other party hadn't directly attacked after all?

Xu Liang'an had actually seen such things a lot when he was with Xu Xiao since he was a child, but he hadn't experienced many things before, and he hadn't gone out to see the outside world, so he didn't have much insight in his heart.

But today he is completely different.

After seeing so much, knowing so much, and possessing the strength to stand proudly above this river and lake, his mentality has gradually changed a lot, and his views on many things have also become different.

in other words.

If in the past Xu Liang'an's mind had a blurred line between good and evil, then the current him is very clear.

Good is good, and evil is evil.

Of course, this does not mean that Xu Liang'an will ignore a person's evil because of his goodness, let alone beat a person to death because of his evil, completely denying that there may be goodness in the other person.

But whether it is a good person or a wicked person, there is one thing Xu Liang'an is very sure of, that is, people have to pay the price they deserve for what they do!

Otherwise, the world would really be in chaos.

"But it doesn't make any sense to say that now."

There was a mocking sneer on the corner of Xu Liang'an's mouth: "Since this Zhong Hongwu chose to use riots to refuse the implementation of the Dragon Slaying Technique in Lingzhou, he has completely touched my bottom line, so I will not do it again." Think about other things."

His eyes are full of endless murderous intent.

"Even if he refuses to hand over the position of governor of Lingzhou at that time, I will make his death look better. But he dared to threaten the lives of the people. This is something I can never forgive."

Looking at Xu Xiao whose face was full of vicissitudes, Xu Liang'an did not hesitate in his words.

"You just let go and do it."

Xu Xiaoman's tired voice sounded.

"I also want to understand. This is actually a good thing. Zhong Hongwu is not the only one who has two hearts about dragon slaying in Beiliang today? After all, it is necessary to kill chickens to warn monkeys. Zhong Hongwu is indeed the best choose."

Speaking of this, Xu Xiao seemed to have finally made up his final decision, and his tone no longer contained any hesitation or intolerance.

He stood up from the chair suddenly, his eyes were full of determination, and the aura exuded from his body seemed to have returned to the way he was when he was marching and fighting.

"For so many years, they have thought that I am old and can't care about the affairs outside the palace. Then take this opportunity to clean it up completely, and let Beiliang shake again!"

Looking at his father, who rarely looked down on the world in front of him, a faint smile finally appeared on Xu Liang'an's face.
