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

Chapter 162 Instigating rebellion against Chen Zhibao

Zao Wuji said: "My father-in-law's idea is right, but I worry too much."

Xu Xiao picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then asked Zhao Wuji: "Do you plan to stay in the palace?"

Zhao Wuji shook his head and said, "I don't want to stay in the palace and return to Qi after finishing my sister's affairs."

Xu Xiao looked at Zhao Wuji and asked, "You probably want to take your sister and leave with you, right?"

Zhao Wuji did not hide anything and nodded.

Xu Xiao said: "There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in this palace, and there are many masters. The emperor must agree, otherwise it will be difficult for you to take your sister away."

Zhao Wuji said firmly and calmly: "No matter how difficult it is, I will do it."

Xu Xiao asked: "If the emperor doesn't agree, will you force it?"

Zao Wou-Ki nodded.

Xu Xiao's expression condensed: "Although you have become the youngest Celestial Realm expert in the world, your strength has not reached its peak after all. It is impossible for you to take your sister away by force alone."

Zhao Wuji nodded and said, "I know, I will make other preparations."

Xu Xiao asked: "Are you going to call help?"

Zhao Wuji smiled slightly and said: "I am not strong enough, so I can only call for help!"

Xu Xiao nodded, and then said solemnly: "If you need help then, you can ask me for help."

"Row."

Zhao Wuji was not polite and nodded immediately.

Then, he pointed at the tall man standing aside like a javelin, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, if I borrow this senior from you, will you agree?"

Xu Xiao glanced at Xu Yanbing, who had been almost inseparable since becoming his personal guard, and said with a smile to Zhao Wuji: "You are very discerning, and you know how to borrow Yanbing from me."

Zhao Wuji smiled brightly: "It's not that I have good taste, it's that this senior is too dazzling."

"really."

Xu Xiao first nodded in agreement, and then said: "Since you have proposed it, I have no choice but to agree to it."

Zhao Wuji smiled slyly: "Then thank you father-in-law for making it happen."

"The family doesn't speak two languages."

Xu Xiao waved his hand, and then said, "Send someone to get some food and wine, and we'll have a drink."

"it is good."

Zhao Wuji readily agreed, and then asked Que'er to go to the imperial kitchen to get food and wine.

After a while, Zhao Wuji and Xu Xiao started eating and drinking happily.

And the other side.

In the Jinluan Palace, the emperor dismissed the other ministers after the court meeting, leaving only Zhang Julu, the chief minister of the cabinet, and Gu Jiantang, the minister of the Ministry of War.

The emperor first said to Gu Jiantang: "Gu Jiantang, I have something to arrange for you."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiantang immediately bowed and said, "Please give me your Majesty's instructions."

The emperor said: "I want you to go to Shanhaiguan to take care of the Ming Dynasty's welcoming mission."

Gu Jiantang certainly knew that Zhao Wuji wanted to intercept the Ming Dynasty's mission to receive relatives.

Even though he knew that it was not an easy task to accept the Ming Dynasty's envoy, he still responded without hesitation: "I obey."

The emperor took out a military talisman and threw it to Gu Jiantang, and then said seriously: "I allow you to mobilize the troops stationed at Shanhaiguan. You must handle this matter for me." After hearing this, Gu Jiantang could only bite the bullet and promised: "I will definitely do what your Majesty has told me to do!"

The emperor trusted Gu Jiantang's ability, so he waved his hand without saying anything: "Okay, you go!"

"My minister retire."

Gu Jiantang bowed to the emperor and then turned and left.

After the emperor watched Gu Jiantang walk out of the hall, he stood up from the throne and walked down the steps.

Zhang Julu, who was in the presence of the old god, looked at the emperor who came up to him, arched his body slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you have something important to tell me?"

Zhao Chun took a deep look at Zhang Julu, and then said calmly: "Zhang Aiqing, you should know that I don't want the Xu family to obtain the hereditary and irreplaceable throne of Beiliang."

Zhang Julu nodded.

The emperor put his hands behind his back, and then said: "Now Xu Xiao has come to force me to allow the hereditary replacement of the King of Beiliang. After weighing the pros and cons, I can only agree to him."

"I agreed to Xu Xiao reluctantly, so naturally I have to make him pay some price."

Zhang Julu remained silent, quietly waiting for the emperor's next words.

After a pause, the emperor said again: "Zhang Aiqing, I want you to secretly contact Chen Zhibao of Beiliang in the name of the imperial court."

"I don't care whether you use coercion or inducement, or use other methods. You must instigate Chen Zhibao to rebel against Xu Xiao."

Zhang Julu was shocked by the emperor's unseemly conspiracy, but he quickly regained his composure.

This blue-eyed old man, who has always obeyed the emperor's words at least on the surface since he became the chief minister of the cabinet, responded without hesitation: "Old minister, I will do my best to complete the tasks assigned by your majesty!"

Gu Jiantang, the general of Liyang who could be compared with Xu Xiao, stopped at the ninth palace gate as if he was waiting for someone specially after walking out of the Jinluan Palace.

After almost half a stick of incense, Zhang Julu, who walked out of the Jinluan Palace, came to the palace gate leisurely.

Seeing Gu Jiantang waiting here, Zhang Julu raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "Why hasn't Gu Shangshu left yet?"

Gu Jiantang first saluted Zhang Julu with a fist, and then said sincerely: "I have something to ask Zhang Shoufu."

When Zhang Julu heard this, his gray brows raised even higher: "Tell me and listen."

As the undisputed head of the military attache in the court, the heroic man did not show off any more and said clearly: "Zhang Chieffu feels that His Majesty asked me to pick up the Ming Dynasty's marriage mission. Should I do a good job or do it half-heartedly?"

As the undisputed head of the civil service in the court, the old man with green eyes seemed not too surprised to think that Gu Jiantang would say this.

The green-eyed old man did not answer, but asked: "Why does Gu Shangshu have such an idea?"

Gu Jiantang said slowly: "The whole country knows that the King of Qi, Zhao Wuji, is now confronting His Majesty and wants to prevent the Ming Dynasty's marriage mission from coming to Kyoto."

"If I follow His Majesty's wishes and bring the Ming Dynasty's marriage delegation to Kyoto, I will undoubtedly offend King Qi."

Zhang Julu took a deep look at Gu Jiantang and said with a smile: "Gu Shangshu is also afraid of offending King Qi?"

Gu Jiantang smiled slightly: "I'm not afraid, I just think it's not a good thing to offend King Qi, who is most likely to sit on the throne in the future."

"In addition, although His Majesty and King Qi are monarchs and ministers, they are still father and son after all. The competition between them is really difficult for outsiders to get involved."

Zhang Julu teased: "I didn't expect that Gu Dashangshu, the pillar of the dynasty, would also worry about these things."

Gu Jiantang said without hesitation: "Be careful when sailing the ten thousand year ship."

"Makes sense."

Zhang Julu nodded first, and then suggested kindly: "In any case, it is definitely better to offend King Qi than to offend His Majesty at the moment. Shangshu Gu should try his best to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty!"
