Stunning weapon

() Liu Suizhu's funeral was very simple, only Liu Chengqi's family mourned quietly, and did not disturb the officials in the court, even some officials came to mourn, but they were also persuaded by Liu Chengqi to go back.Seeing Liu Chengqi's behavior, all the officials stopped coming.

Only Mo Xiaochuan sent someone to send some condolences.And this object of condolences was actually a dagger, it was the same dagger that Liu Suizhu had after she was killed.

After Liu Chengqi saw it, he smiled slightly, and sent someone to deliver the thing to Liu Jingting.

Not long after, Liu Jingting came.Put the dagger on Liu Chengqi's desk again.

Liu Chengqi looked at it lightly, and said, "What do you think about this matter?"

Liu Jingting thought for a while and said, "Did someone send Mo Xiaochuan?"

Liu Chengqi nodded and said, "You should know this thing?"

"Hmm!" Liu Jingting hummed lightly, and said, "Could it be that Mo Xiaochuan wanted to remind us that Suizhu's death has nothing to do with him?"

Liu Chengqi shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not just like this. With his intelligence, he should have already understood that we know the truth. He sent this thing, probably because he wanted us to help him get rid of Ye Yi."

"Borrowing a knife to kill someone?" Liu Jingting frowned.

Liu Chengqi smiled and said, "Should I borrow this knife or not?"

Liu Jingting thought for a moment, and said: "It stands to reason that even if Mo Xiaochuan doesn't send this thing, we should take action against Ye Yi. After all, we have to avenge Suizhu's revenge. However, if we take action against Ye Yi now ,Does it fit?"

Liu Chengqi didn't seem to feel any sadness about his son's death. Hearing what Liu Jingting said, he nodded slightly and said, "You're right. Today in the court, the emperor asked Mo Xiaochuan to go to the front camp. As long as he has some experience in the army and has some prestige, we can implement the next step. The emperor will definitely use troops against Yan, but the time is not yet ripe, and the barbarians in the north are still undecided If there is a war with Yan at this time and the barbarians invade on a large scale, the northern part of the Central Plains may be lost. At that time, without this barrier, even if we take down Yan, it will be difficult to regain the lost land from the barbarians. , the Central Plains will never have peace."

"Secondly, the old emperor of Yan State is still holding on to his death. With him, Yan State will not be as weak as it appears on the surface. We may not be able to win if we send troops to Yan State. A tragic victory, if the Southern Tang and Chu countries take advantage of the opportunity to attack, I am afraid that we will be in danger even if we hold on to our current territory." Liu Jingting added.

Liu Chengqi agreed: "That's true. Moreover, although Tubo has been disintegrated and divided into many tribes over the years, if the Central Plains becomes chaotic, I'm afraid they will not be idle. If we hit us from behind, the consequences will be disastrous , this point, presumably the emperor is well aware of it."

Liu Jingting said, "Tubo's side is easy to deal with. Cui Xiu's nephew Cui Huosheng is still here. He is quite talented. If he can be used, there will be no worries in the west."

"Do you think the emperor can't understand these?" Liu Chengqi asked back.

Liu Jingting frowned, thought for a while, and sighed softly: "It's been so many years, can it be that the emperor still can't let go of this vigilance?"

"The emperor won't let it go, at least if we ask us to raise this matter, it will definitely be impossible." Liu Chengqi said.

Liu Jingting said again: "Brother has so many court officials in his hands, why don't you borrow others' words?"

Liu Chengqi shook his head, and said: "You still don't know much about this court affairs. Even if I can make people speak, the emperor will definitely not allow it. Now, the only one who can let the emperor use these people, I'm afraid There is only one person in this entire court."

Liu Jingting wondered: "The person that elder brother mentioned is Cui Xiu?"

"Cui Xiu?" Liu Chengqi smiled, and said: "Cui Xiu has no intention of power, and he is sincere to Xiliang, the emperor will not doubt him. But even if he said it, I'm afraid it won't work. Besides, Cui Xiu People are very famous, now at this age, how can he bear the reputation of being a favoritist."

"Is that Kou Gu?" Liu Jingting said again.

Liu Chengqi shook his head and said, "Although Kou Gu is valued by the emperor, he is not worthy enough."

Liu Jingting originally wanted to talk about other important ministers in the court, but after thinking about it, he found it impossible, so he asked: "Who exactly is brother referring to?"

"Mo Xiaochuan!" Liu Chengqi said.

"Mo Xiaochuan?" Liu Jingting said with an unbelievable look, "How could it be Mo Xiaochuan? Isn't the emperor already jealous of Mo Xiaochuan? Otherwise, why would he say he was sent to the army this time?"

"The Mo family has become extinct, and now there is only Mo Xiaochuan left. Whether Mo Zhiyuan admits it or not, this is a fact. For the future of Xiliang, he must also be able to use Mo Xiaochuan. However, he is now He didn't want Mo Xiaochuan to have too many wings, so he pushed back and forth to prevent Mo Xiaochuan from entering the court. However, he knew in his heart that Mo Xiaochuan would definitely use it, and now he didn't say that Mo Xiaochuan would send him to the state capital , but sent to the front camp, it can be seen. The army is the best place to refine a person, and Mo Xiaochuan's military talent is obvious to all. Let him grow up in the army. Too much suppression of Mo Xiaochuan's growth will not allow him to get involved in the government too early, so that he will not be able to threaten the imperial power. Isn't it the best of both worlds?" Liu Jingting said with an expression of admiration , said: "The emperor is indeed unfathomable."

Liu Jingting seemed to understand, thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Brother is right. But, isn't the emperor afraid that there will be a second King of Qi?"

"The second king of Qi?" Liu Chengqi chuckled and said, "It's not easy. What was the identity of King Qi back then, what is the identity of Mo Xiaochuan now, what was the emperor Taizu like back then, and what is the emperor like now Besides, there is Hua Qichong in the front camp. Although this Hua Qichong's troops are average, he has come through so many years of ups and downs, and it is still possible to suppress Mo Xiaochuan in the army."

Liu Jingting seemed to feel that the affairs of the imperial court were too complicated and far less enjoyable than his Falcon Hall. He shook his head lightly, stopped thinking about the above matters, turned the topic to the positive, and asked: "What does that brother mean, should we take action against Ye Yi?"

"Not yet." Liu Chengqi shook his head and said, "Mo Xiaochuan sent this thing to test what we would do. In this way, let Rou'er give him back a gift tomorrow."

"What for?" Liu Jingting asked hastily.

"Map of Yan Kingdom." Liu Chengqi said slowly.
