Chapter 186

Xu Xiao smiled at Zhao Wuji and said, "I know you are going to put on a big show, so I stayed here to watch."

Zhao Wuji nodded suddenly: "That's it."

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Wuji asked with a smile: "Father-in-law, what do you think I can pull off such a big show?"

Xu Xiao gave Zao Wuji a thumbs up and sincerely praised: "My son-in-law made this drama a wonderful one, and I enjoyed watching it very much."

When Zhao Wuji heard this, he smiled knowingly.

Xu Xiao then said: "But I'm still a little bit dissatisfied, that is, you didn't go further and just won the dragon chair in one go."

Xu Xiao told the truth.

Having seen Zhao Wuji's cavalry capture Shanhaiguan and march straight into Kyoto, Xu Xiao was looking forward to Zhao Wuji overthrowing Zhao Chun's throne in one go, and then sitting on the dragon throne.

The reason why Xu Xiao thinks this way is because it is more beneficial to Beiliang for Zhao Wuji to be emperor than for Zhao Chun to be emperor.

Xu Xiao looked at the smiling Zhao Wuji and said, "I heard you say you had no idea about the throne before, and I was still skeptical. Now I am convinced."

In Xu Xiao's view, Zhao Wuji really had a chance to force Zhao Chun into the palace this time.

Zhao Wuji did not choose to do this, which surprised him.

Zhao Wuji said with a smile: "Now I feel more and more that it is not good to be an emperor, it is better to be my idle prince."

Xu Xiao said: "Now that you have such a powerful cavalry army under your command, it will definitely attract the attention of all parties. It will not be that easy to be an idle prince."

Zhao Wuji said calmly: "It's okay. As long as you are strong enough, no one will mess with me without good reason."

You are even crazier than I was when I was young!
Seeing that Zhao Wuji was so confident, Xu Xiao didn't refute him verbally except for a slander.

Because Zhao Wuji now has the qualifications to say this.

Xu Xiao suddenly said seriously: "Good son-in-law, I have something important to talk to you about. Come to my carriage."

"it is good."

Zhao Wuji thought that Xu Xiao really had something important, so he immediately went to the latter's carriage.

"Father-in-law, what important thing do you want to say to me?"

Xu Xiao first put his arm around Zhao Wuji's shoulders, and then said with a flattering smile: "Good son-in-law, tell me, how did you build those cavalry troops?"

Xu Xiao was too greedy for Zhao Wuji's cavalry.

It's normal for the Human Slaughter Club to be like this. After all, he has a military background and is most interested in iron cavalry and the like.

Zhao Wuji did not expect that this was what Xu Xiao had been talking about for a long time.

He smiled first, and then said: "Father-in-law, I have been keeping a low profile for many years, and I have spent all the resources of the three states to build such a cavalry army."

Zhao Wuji couldn't tell Xu Xiao about the system rewards, so he could only give a relatively reasonable answer.

Xu Xiao believed it.

Because he couldn't think of any other tricks that Zhao Wuji could come up with.

"Good son-in-law, you are better than me!"

Xu Xiao couldn't help but praise Zhao Wuji again.

"It took me decades to train those Northern Liang cavalry, but you only spent a few years to create a cavalry force that is more powerful than my Northern Liang cavalry."

Zhao Wuji said modestly: "I was just lucky."

Xu Xiaosha said matter-of-factly: "Good son-in-law, when you go to Beiliang next time, you must personally guide me to make my Beiliang Iron Cavalry stronger."

Zhao Wuji nodded readily: "Okay, no problem."

When Xu Xiao saw Zhao Wuji agreeing, he smiled happily: "He is indeed my good son-in-law."

Zhao Wou-ki smiled without saying a word.

Xu Xiao then said sternly: "Good son-in-law, I really want you to go with the flow and let Zhao Chun abdicate in favor of someone more worthy."

Zhao Wuji knew what Xu Xiao was thinking.

He smiled slightly and said: "I don't think my father-in-law needs to think so much. After all, with Beiliang's strength, he doesn't need to worry too much about the court."

Xu Xiao nodded first, then stared at Zhao Wuji and said seriously: "Good son-in-law, please help Beiliang more in the future." This is the first time Xu Xiao has asked for help since he became the Queen of Beiliang.

There is no doubt that in Xu Xiao's eyes, Zhao Wuji is worthy of letting him do this.

Zhao Wuji did not refuse Xu Xiao, but readily agreed: "Okay."

Xu Xiao said from the bottom of his heart: "With the help of a good son-in-law, I can feel more at ease."

Zhao Wuji and Xu Xiao chatted for a while, and then they said goodbye and went their separate ways.

Xu Xiao went north to Beiliang.

Zhao Wuji went south to Qi Di.

When night falls.

Gu Jiantang and Shanhaiguan guard Yang Lie went to the imperial study room to meet the saint.

"The guilty minister pays his respects to His Majesty!"

When Gu Jiantang and Yang Lie saw Zhao Chun, they knelt down to apologize.

Zhao Chun has already learned about Shanhaiguan in detail.

Although he knew that Gu Jiantang and the others had nothing to do against the Wuji Cavalry, he was still very unhappy.

Zhao Chun stared at Gu Jiantang and Yang Lie with cold eyes, and said angrily: "You two almost caused a catastrophe, you should both be severely punished!"

Not only did Gu Jiantang and Yang Lie dare not refute, but they took the initiative to take responsibility and said: "The guilty minister is willing to be punished!"

Zhao Chun snorted coldly and said: "Yang Lie, from today on, you will be demoted to deputy general and assist the new guard general in the defense of Shanhaiguan."

This result was already very good for Yang Lie. He immediately responded: "I thank the Lord for your kindness!"

Zhao Chun scolded: "Get out."

"The guilty minister will leave."

Yang Lie was granted amnesty and hurriedly got up and left.

As soon as Yang Lie left, Gu Jiantang, who was left behind, immediately became more nervous.

Gu Jiantang didn't know what the emperor was going to do with him, and was a little worried and uneasy.

Zhao Chun first glanced at Gu Jiantang who was lying on the ground, and then said in an indifferent tone: "Gu Jiantang, with your military talents, you actually fell into the hands of this young reserve Zhao Wuji this time, you have no feelings at all. ?”

Gu Jiantang said with a bitter tone: "It can only be said that one mistake will lead to eternal hatred."

Zhao Chun chuckled: "What you said is quite appropriate."

Gu Jiantang smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Zhao Chun waved his sleeves: "Okay, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gu Jiantang stood up in fear.

"I am also responsible for what happened this time. It was me who failed to arrange things well, which allowed Zhao Wuji to take advantage of the loophole."

There is nothing wrong with what Zhao Chun said.

Because if he hadn't sent Gu Jiantang to Shanhaiguan to meet the Ming Dynasty's marriage mission, Gu Jiantang would not have dispatched the Shanhaiguan garrison, thus allowing Zhao Wuji's cavalry to take advantage of the loophole.

This also shows that Zhao Wuji is superior in chess.

Although Gu Jiantang didn't know what medicine was sold in the emperor's gourd, he still said without hesitation: "Your Majesty has no responsibility. It is the veteran who betrayed your Majesty's trust."

Zhao Chun did not argue, but changed the subject and said: "Gu Jiantang, I think you have been in the court for a long time, so you don't know how to lead troops in war."

Gu Jiantang's heart suddenly skipped a beat after hearing the emperor's words.

What does the emperor mean?
Are you going to remove me from my official position?

Thinking of this possibility, Gu Jiantang frowned.
