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

Chapter 163 Deliberately disgusting Xu Xiao
"Thank you Zhang Shoufu for your suggestion."

Gu Jiantang first clasped his fists in thanks, and then changed the subject: "Please also ask Zhang Shoufu to put in a good word for me no matter who I offended."

Zhang Julu seemed to have seen through Gu Jiantang, he chuckled and said: "You came up with such a big circle, just because you want me to put in a good word for you afterwards, right?"

Gu Jiantang did not deny it and smiled.

Zhang Julu scolded as if he was angry: "You are not ashamed to play such a trick with an old man like me!"

Gu Jiantang chuckled and said, "I hope Zhang Shoufu doesn't mind."

Zhang Julu snorted coldly: "Just talking is not enough, you have to treat me to the best osmanthus brew!"

Gu Jiantang readily agreed: "Okay, after I go and finish the things your Majesty told me, I will treat Zhang Shoufu to drink the best osmanthus wine as soon as I return to Kyoto."

After hearing this, the blue-eyed old man said with satisfaction: "Since you know how to cause trouble, I won't argue with you."

The man with the same gray hair but still full of heroic spirit laughed and said, "Zhang Shoufu is really magnanimous."

When the blue-eyed old man heard this, he didn't say anything more, but he showed a slightly arrogant look.

It was obvious that Zhang Shoufu was very pleased with the flattery of Master Gu.

Afterwards, the two old guys, who were both civil and military officials and were extremely respected ministers, left the palace together, talking and laughing.

the other side.

After leaving the morning court, the emperor habitually went to the imperial study room, and then met the old man who had been waiting here in advance.

"Sir, Xu Laizi is indeed here to seek a hereditary replacement for the Northern Liang throne."

Yuan Benxi, who was closing his eyes to rest his mind, slowly opened his eyes and said without any surprise: "What kind of sincerity did Xu Laizi give?"

Zhao Chun said: "Xu Laizi is willing to give up his identity as Dazhu Kingdom."

Yuan Benxi said without any surprise: "It's exactly what I expected."

"Although Xu Laizi is the only big pillar in the court, this status is dispensable to him."

"It can be said that he gave up his identity as a Dazhu Kingdom in exchange for the hereditary succession to the Northern Liang throne."

Zhao Chun scolded: "That Xu Laizi is a cunning old man."

Yuan Benxi said: "Li Yishan probably came up with this idea for Xu Laizi."

Zhao Chun heard this and said angrily: "This Li Yishan is really bad. Without him, Beiliang would not be what it is today."

Yuan Benxi echoed with emotion: "Yes!"

"If there wasn't that old guy behind Beiliang, Beiliang wouldn't be so powerful now."

From Yuan Benxi's tone, we can hear a feeling of heroes cherishing heroes.

Zhao Chun didn't want to talk more about Li Yishan and returned to the topic.

"Sir, do you want to delay this matter any longer?"

Yuan Benxi said: "There is no need. The sooner you agree to Xu Laizi, the sooner you can instigate Chen Zhibao."

"it is good."

Zhao Chun nodded first, and then asked: "Sir, do you think we can instigate Chen Zhibao against him?"

Yuan Benxi said: "Chen Zhibao is the second most prestigious person in the Beiliang army besides Xu Laizi. If he knew that Xu Laizi would completely hand over Beiliang to Xu Fengnian, he would not be willing to do so."

"However, I can't tell whether Chen Zhibao will eventually turn against Beiliang. I can only say that he is currently the best person we can use to weaken Beiliang."

Zhao Chun nodded: "Okay, I will draft an imperial edict now and send Xu Laizi away as soon as possible."

……

Pearl Palace.After drinking for three rounds, Xu Xiao hugged Zhao Wuji and said with a flattering smile: "Good son-in-law, tell me, how did you train those cavalry who are only stronger than our Beiliang cavalry?"

There are spies in Beiliang all over Liyang, so it is not difficult for Xu Xiao to learn about Zhao Wuji's Wuji Cavalry.

He, a general who was best at leading troops in battles and had spent half his life in the military, was really curious about how Zhao Wuji trained those capable cavalry.

Zhao Wuji did not expect that Xu Xiao would suddenly ask him this matter.

He first raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then said with a mysterious smile: "Father-in-law, my cavalry are my bosses, I can't reveal them to you."

Xu Xiao patted Zhao Wuji on the shoulder and said with a flattering smile, "Good son-in-law, I think given our relationship, you can reveal it to me."

It's not that Zhao Wuji didn't want to reveal it, it was that he couldn't reveal it at all. He couldn't tell Xu Xiao that all his soldiers and horses were picked up for free. In that case, Xu Xiao might not only not believe it, but even think that Zhao Wuji was deliberately fooling him.

Zhao Wuji could only say with a smile: "Father-in-law, your Beiliang cavalry is already the best in the world, so there is no need to worry about other cavalry."

Seeing that Zhao Wuji still didn't say anything, Xu Xiao couldn't help but criticize Zhao Wuji for being too strict with his mouth.

"Okay, if you don't want to say it, forget it, let's continue drinking."

Xu Xiao pretended to give up, but in fact he still wanted to get Zhao Wuji to drink. After making Zhao Wuji drunk, he would pry out the matter about the Wuji cavalry from Zhao Wuji's mouth.

Zhao Wuji's drinking capacity is not as good as Xu Xiao's.

As the two drank one glass after another, Zao Wuji soon became a little drunk.

The cunning Xu Xiao seized the opportunity and tried to pry open Zhao Wuji's mouth, but still failed.

Zhao Wuji was very tight-lipped and just didn't give in.

Xu Xiao had no choice but to give up.

Just when both of them were drunk, an old eunuch came to the Pearl Palace holding an imperial edict.

The old eunuch stood in the courtyard outside the palace and said loudly: "Old slave Han Diao Si, please accept the order from King Beiliang!"

Zhao Wuji and Xu Xiao, who were drinking in the palace, both stopped drinking after hearing this sound.

A hint of imperceptible anger flashed in Xu Xiao's eyes, and he sneered: "The emperor is quite good at getting things done, and he sent the imperial edict so quickly."

Although Xu Xiao concealed it well, Zhao Wuji could still sense Xu Xiao's displeasure.

Zhao Wuji, who knew the inside story, secretly said in his heart: "This Han Shengxuan was one of the main culprits who killed Wu Su back then. The emperor asked him to deliver the imperial edict. This is to deliberately disgust Xu Xiao!"

"I wonder if Xu Xiao will get angry and ask Xu Yan's soldiers to kill Han Shengxuan."

Xu Xiao didn't know what Zhao Wuji was thinking. He said, "I'll go out and take a look." Then he got up and walked out of the hall.

Xu Yanbing on the side saw this and immediately followed Xu Xiao.

Zhao Wuji had nothing to do and followed him.

As one of the main culprits in the notorious white-clothed case in Kyoto that year, it didn't take much to know that Han Shengxuan didn't want to meet Xu Xiao at all.

When Han Shengxuan learned that Xu Xiao was going to Beijing to enter the palace today, he deliberately acted like a coward and never showed up.

If it hadn't been for the emperor ordering him to deliver the order, he wouldn't have come here to meet Xu Xiao.

At this moment, Han Shengxuan was standing in the courtyard. Even though he had experienced many storms, he was still very nervous and uneasy when he thought about meeting Xu Xiao.

There is no way, Xu Xiao's evil reputation is there.

When the two sides have a life-and-death feud, how can they be as stable as Mount Tai in the face of Xu Xiao, a human being?

Not to mention Han Shengxuan, not even the deceased previous Liyang Emperor Zhao Li.
