Comprehensive martial arts: Beiliang Longson, Li Hanyi asks the sword at the beginning

Chapter 160
Zhao Wuji didn't know what the emperor was thinking at this time, and he didn't care.

Looking at Zhao Chun, who was sitting on the throne and having everyone bow down to him, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but think to himself that this was the imperial power. No wonder so many people flocked to it and tried every means to sit on that throne, even if they fought for it. Got a bloody head.

"This is the pinnacle of power. What man wouldn't love it?"

"Being an emperor can be good or bad, it just depends on how you choose."

Suddenly, Zhao Wuji had more ideas about the throne.

Zhao Chun did not immediately get angry, but held back his anger and said solemnly: "Everyone loves me!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

All the ministers stood up after expressing their thanks.

Zhao Chun looked directly at Xu Xiao and said straight to the point: "Old King Liang suddenly came to the capital. I don't know why?"

Xu Xiao didn't hide it, and directly pointed it out: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am asking for the hereditary replacement of the Northern Liang King for my son Xu Fengnian."

Neither the emperor nor the ministers were surprised by Xu Xiao's answer.

Zhao Chun wanted to take over the military and political power of Beiliang, and he did not want Xu Fengnian to become the hereditary king of Beiliang.

Zhao Chun looked down at Xu Xiao from a high position and said: "Xu Xiao, I think you are still alive now, so there is no need to be so anxious for your son to take over the position of King of Beiliang."

The emperor planned to use the procrastination technique. Even if he could not deprive the Xu family of the position of King of Northern Liang in the end, he would delay this matter until it could no longer be postponed.

Although Xu Xiao was a bigoted man, he was still very smart. He could guess what the emperor was thinking and had a plan to deal with it.

"Your Majesty, I am really old. Almost half of my body has been buried. Maybe one day I will suddenly belch."

Xu Xiao didn't care about cursing himself, and said slowly: "Your Majesty and all the ministers present should know that the Qin State has always been coveting my land in Liyang, and has always been eyeing it, hoping to break through the northern gateway and invade Liyang."

"In recent years, Qin's intention to invade has become stronger and stronger, and its provocative actions have become more and more powerful. It can be expected that there will be an inevitable war between Qin and Qin, and this war will not happen at the same time. It would be too far apart.”

"I feel that your majesty and other ministers should make plans like me for Qin to invade Liyang."

"We, Beiliang, guard the northern gate of Liyang. It is the most important thing to resist Qin. We cannot make any mistakes."

"In order to prevent the old minister from suddenly farting one day, which would lead to chaos in Northern Liang and allow the Qin State to find an opportunity to attack Liyang in one fell swoop, the veteran had to take precautions and pass on the position of King of Northern Liang to maintain Northern Liang. of stability.”

What Xu Xiao said were facts and well-founded, and no one could find any refutation.

The emperor fell into silence after hearing this.

Just when the hall fell silent, Zhang Julu stood up.

The green-eyed old man said to Xu Xiao: "Old King Liang, your idea is very good and correct, but there is one thing you have not thought about."

When Xu Xiao heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Please give Zhang Shoufu some advice."

Zhang Julu didn't show off, and immediately said: "As we all know, Xu Fengnian, the prince of Northern Liang, is arrogant, domineering, and greedy for pleasure. He is not much different from those second-generation ancestors of the old masters who have lost their time."

"How can the position of King of Northern Liang be handed over to Xu Fengnian when we know that he is a person who will embarrass Da Yong?"

As soon as Zhang Julu finished speaking, many ministers stood up to support the chief minister of the cabinet.

"What the Chief Assistant said is absolutely true. Xu Fengnian is too embarrassed to take over the position of King of Beiliang!" "If Xu Fengnian is in charge of Beiliang, Beiliang will definitely not be able to shoulder the responsibility of guarding the northern gate!"

"Let Xu Fengnian take over the position of King of Beiliang, it will only harm Liyang, absolutely not!"

Many ministers' words were conclusive, and they all agreed with Zhang Julu.

Zhao Chun, who was sitting on the throne, was happy to see this scene and did not say a word.

Xu Xiao was not in a hurry to argue, and calmly waited for the ministers to finish speaking, before he said calmly: "Neither you, Zhang Chief Fu, nor any of the ministers have seen my son Xu Fengnian. It's about me." My son Xu Fengnian's affairs are all based on hearsay, so how can we say that he is not worthy of great use and cannot take over the position of King of Northern Liang?"

"You are all the pillars of my Liyang, the mainstay. If your words and deeds are not based on facts and you just judge a person by listening to some gossip, then how can I, Liyang, prosper forever?"

Xu Xiao's words made all the ministers speechless.

At this moment, the emperor said: "Old King Liang, there is some truth in what you all said."

"I have received several memorials to impeach Xu Fengnian before. Xu Fengnian provoked troubles in Qingzhou, Guangling and Jiangnan Road."

"Such as kidnapping and beating the crown prince of Jing'an, Zhao Xun, beheading the crown prince of Guangling, Zhao Piao alive, and brutally massacring the scholars of Jiangnan Road."

"Let's not talk about the serious crimes Xu Fengnian committed. Just by saying that he did these things, we can see that he is a bold, lawless and wanton man."

"Under such circumstances, how can I safely hand over the position of King of Beiliang to Xu Fengnian?"

If you want to add guilt, there is nothing to worry about.

Xu Xiao knew that the emperor was indiscriminate and deliberately placed all the blame on Xu Fengnian.

Xu Xiao was not angry. He sneered in his heart, and then said calmly: "As far as I know, the reason why my son Xu Fengnian did those things was because others instigated him first."

"If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask King Qi who experienced those things with my son."

Xu Xiao mentioned Zhao Wuji, which made the emperor and other ministers subconsciously turn their attention to Zhao Wuji.

Everyone knows that Zhao Wuji did go through those things with Xu Fengnian.

They also wanted to hear what Zhao Wuji, the witness who was present throughout the whole process, would say.

"Zhao Wuji, since Old Liang Wang mentioned you as the witness who witnessed Xu Fengnian doing those things, then you can tell me whether Xu Fengnian committed a heinous crime or not!"

Zhao Chun stared at Zhao Wuji with sharp eyes and said these words. When he finally said the four words "heinous crime", he deliberately emphasized his tone.

Smart people could tell that the emperor was putting pressure on Zhao Wuji and wanted him to say that Xu Fengnian was a heinous murderer.

Zhao Wuji was originally watching the show with a mentality that it had nothing to do with him, but now he was suddenly brought out and became a pawn in the game between Xu Xiao and the emperor, and he suddenly felt a little unhappy.

You, Xu Xiao, and the emperor both use me as a pawn. Is that going too far?
With Zhao Wuji's mind, he was able to figure out all the details.

Xu Xiao seemed to want to ask Zhao Wuji to testify for Xu Fengnian, but in fact it was more of a test.

Xu Xiao wanted to see with his own eyes which side Zhao Wuji would take when encountering the game between Beiliang and the imperial court.

As for Zhao Chun, he also took advantage of the situation and asked Zhao Wuji to stand up and speak, also to see whether Zhao Wuji would be biased towards the court or the court.
