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

Chapter 161
"Both of these two cunning old guys are not good people!"

Zhao Wuji couldn't help but slander Xu Xiao and Zhao Chun.

And although he was a little unhappy, he still made a solid judgment.

"Xu Fengnian was not the one who took the initiative to stir up trouble, but he did go too far."

Zhao Wuji did not deliberately favor Xu Fengnian, but gave a very fair testimony.

After Xu Xiao heard this, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Emperor Zhao Chun frowned and his face became a little ugly.

As for Zhang Julu and other ministers, they also frowned.

In this situation of different positions, the emperor, Zhang Shoufu and others obviously thought that Zhao Wuji was speaking for Xu Fengnian.

"This traitor really didn't disappoint me, he still doesn't listen to me!"

The angry emperor gave Zhao Wuji a vicious look.

Zhao Wuji turned a blind eye, the old god was still there.

At this moment, Zhang Julu said: "Your Majesty, King Qi was involved in those things. As a party involved, his testimony is prone to bias, so it can only be used as a reference and cannot be regarded as the truth."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chun immediately nodded in agreement: "What Zhang Aiqing said makes sense."

Xu Xiao sneered in his heart again when he saw Zhang Julu and the emperor singing harmony.

Xu Xiao actually didn't care what the emperor and the others would think of Xu Fengnian, nor how the emperor and the others would make things difficult, because no matter what, the position of King of Northern Liang would be succeeded by Xu Fengnian in the future.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Xu Xiao came to Kyoto this time was just to go through the motions, so that Xu Fengnian could be more legitimate when he became the King of Northern Liang in the future.

"Since you insist on looking for trouble, I won't go around in circles with you."

Xu Xiao crossed his fingers in front of him, and then said calmly: "I feel that there is a very intuitive fact that needs to be explained to your majesty and ministers, that is, if there is anything bad about Xu Fengnian, I can ask him to change it, but this No one can change the fact that the 30 cavalrymen in Beiliang can only be named Xu."

Xu Xiao's tone was neither salty nor bland, but it was full of unquestionable meaning.

Xu Xiao's words clearly demonstrated his strength.

No matter what you say or do, the position of King of Northern Liang will only be taken over by my son in the future!
Xu Xiao made his words clear, causing the emperor, Zhang Julu and other ministers to frown and fall into silence.

They had no choice. Even if they accused Xu Xiao of making bold statements, they would not be able to change the situation.

Xu Xiao looked at the speechless emperor and others, and then spoke in a loud voice. For the sake of the stability of Beiliang, and for the northern gate of Liyang to be able to resist foreign thieves, your majesty allows the old minister's throne to be hereditary. ! "

"For this reason, I am willing to give up my identity as a Dazhu Kingdom, and I am also willing to die in order to guard the northern gate of Liyang!"

For Xu Xiao, it doesn't matter whether he has the identity of Dazhu Kingdom or not.

As for guarding the northern gate for Li Yang, in his opinion, it was just a matter of duty.

Of course, he was not for the emperor of the Zhao family, nor for the Liyang court, but for the people of Northern Liang and the Central Plains.

Xu Xiao showed his sincerity and said it for this reason. Zhao Chun could no longer pretend to turn a blind eye and had to respond positively.

Of course, the emperor still didn't want the Xu family to inherit the title of King of Northern Liang.

Zhao Chun did not respond directly to Xu Xiao, but first looked at the ministers and said loudly: "Do you have any objections to what the old King Liang mentioned?"

Whether it was Gu Jiantang, Minister of the Ministry of War, Zuo Jijiu of the Imperial Academy, or other ministers, they all kept their mouths shut and kept silent.

Zhao Chun's eyes swept over the ministers, and finally fell on the blue-eyed old man.

The most important minister in the court did not disappoint the emperor. He spoke up and said, "I think the hereditary replacement of the Northern Liang King is a very important matter. Please make your decision after careful consideration."

"Zhang Aiqing's words make sense."

Zhao Chun first nodded in agreement, and then said to Xu Xiao: "Old King Liang, please let me think carefully about your hereditary disregard for the Northern Liang King, and I will give you an answer later."

Zhao Chun didn't want to give Xu Xiao a chance to refute, and then said: "Old King Liang, you have traveled thousands of miles to Beijing, and you must be very tired after traveling and traveling. I give you permission not to wait for the end of the court meeting, but to go and rest first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xu Xiao is not in a hurry to ask the emperor to agree to his request now.

"The old minister will leave first."

After finishing speaking, Xu Xiao, who didn't want to stay in the court for much longer, turned around and left.

Seeing Xu Xiao walking away gracefully with his hands behind his back, the emperor and all the ministers couldn't help but sigh secretly.Although this man is old, his energy is still there and he is still intimidating!
"Your Majesty, I have nothing to do here, so I will leave now."

Zhao Wuji didn't want to stay any longer. He bowed slightly to the emperor and then turned and walked towards the outside of the Jinluan Palace.

Zhao Chun wanted to tell Zhao Wuji to stop, but he held back after hesitating for a moment.

Zhao Chun finally calmed down and did not accuse Zhao Wuji in court, but planned to reprimand Zhao Wuji in private.

Xu Xiao and Zhao Wuji walked out of the Golden Palace.

Xu Xiao noticed that Zhao Wuji was following him out, so he deliberately stopped and waited for Zhao Wuji to come to him.

After the two of them approached, Xu Xiao said sincerely: "Good son-in-law, thank you for helping Fengnian speak in the court just now."

Zhao Wuji waved his hand and said, "I'm just telling the truth."

Xu Xiao nodded, and then said seriously: "Good son-in-law, I did mean to test you just now. I apologize to you, don't mind."

Xu Xiao knew that Zhao Wuji was a smart man and took the initiative to admit his intentions in the court just now.

His attitude was very sincere, and it was obvious that he really wanted to express his apology to Zhao Wuji.

Xu Xiao has said this, and if Zhao Wuji cares about it anymore, it will look like he is petty.

Zhao Wuji smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I'm not that stingy."

Xu Xiao nodded: "That's good."

Immediately afterwards, Xu Xiao said with a smile: "Son-in-law, I can't find a place to rest in this palace. Why don't you invite me to sit at your place?"

Zhao Wuji readily agreed: "Okay, father-in-law will follow me to my sister's Pearl Palace."

Immediately, Zhao Wuji took Xu Xiao and Xu Yanbing waiting outside the Jinluan Palace to the Pearl Palace.

After arriving at the Pearl Palace, Zhao Wuji first introduced his sister Zhao Kui to Xu Xiao, and then the two of them got together to chat.

"Son-in-law, you have finally risen to prominence and become a popular figure in Liyang."

"Leaving aside your great fortune, even with your strength and talent, you are still the most powerful contender for the throne."

"In my opinion, there is no need for you to go against the emperor, lest the emperor will not consider you to succeed the throne at all in the future."

Xu Xiao may not be able to escape the law of true fragrance.

He is now very fond of Zhao Wuji, his son-in-law, and calls him affectionately.

He also really thought about things for Zhao Wuji and sincerely put forward his suggestions to Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji knew that Xu Xiao was thinking about him, so he said truthfully: "Father-in-law, for me, my sister is more important than the throne."

Xu Xiao didn't expect that Zhao Wuji would care so much about his family.

He raised his eyebrows in surprise at first, and then said: "In that case, I won't persuade you any more."

"But accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. I still want to remind you not to go too far with the emperor."

"Because no matter what, you and your sister are in the palace now, on the emperor's territory."

Xu Xiao considered it very comprehensively and made sense, and Zhao Wuji listened.

Zao Wuji said: "I remember what my father-in-law said, thank you for reminding me."

Xu Xiao waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be polite to me."

Zhao Wuji nodded, and then asked about Xu Xiao.

"Does my father-in-law plan to wait until the emperor agrees that the throne will be hereditary before leaving the capital?"

Xu Xiao nodded and said: "I came here just for this matter. If I fail to do it, I will not return to Beiliang."

Zhao Wuji said: "It is obvious that the emperor intends to delay this matter. If he continues to refuse to agree, won't my father-in-law have to stay in Kyoto?"

Xu Xiao smiled lightly and said: "The emperor does want to delay, but I don't expect him to delay for too long. After all, it is meaningless."

"In addition, the emperor probably doesn't want me to stay in Kyoto for a long time. Firstly, it is to prevent me from causing trouble, and secondly, it is to allow me to go back and take charge of Beiliang early to prevent trouble in Beiliang."

On the surface, Xu Xiao, who appears to be rich and powerful, actually sees things very clearly.
