When the court was strong, the emperor could do whatever he wanted, kill him and do whatever he wanted. For example, the father of Emperor Zhongzong, the spiritual emperor of the Great Zhou, reigned for more than 40 years and had a ridiculous life. He worked for more than 40 years, but he did not destroy the Great Zhou.

But now it's different.

Now, everyone is waiting for an excuse and an opportunity to wait for the court to make mistakes.

Now, Emperor Hongdao has made a big attempt to liquidate the descendants of Emperor Zhongzong, which has aroused public anger among the royal family. In this case, people will naturally have some strange thoughts.

The Jiedushi of Hexi stationed troops in Liang, Su, Gua, Sha and Hui. These five states were a straight line, completely separating the Turks and Tubo, and blocking the direct communication between the two alien races.

Therefore, the position of the Hexi Jiedushi is very important.

During the Fanyang Rebellion, only the three Jiedushishuofang Jiedushi, Hedong Jiedushi and Pinglu Jiedushi raised their troops to help the king, but the Hexi Jiedushi was motionless. This is the reason.

After all, the Hexi Jiedushi must keep an eye on Tubo and prevent Tubo from moving abnormally.

So even though the Hexi Jiedushi did not rescue Chang'an during the Fanyang Rebellion, the first emperor Li Xun did not blame him afterwards, but instead gave him some rewards.

Of course, this is mainly because after the Fanyang Rebellion, the court was no longer able to punish these military leaders who held heavy troops.

However, it is undeniable that the Hexi Jieduo is very strong and wealthy, so Qi Shidao met with an envoy sent by the Hexi Jieduo Xiao Cheng in private.

It was not until midnight that the Hexi envoy met Qi Shidao in the commander's tent. He bowed respectfully to Qi Shidao and said, "I have met General Qi in the lower Xiao Xian."

Qi Shidao sat in the main seat, quietly looked at the young man in front of him who looked only in his twenties, and said, "What are you and Xiao Cheng?"

"General Xiao is here under his uncle, and he is ordered to come to visit General Qi."

Qi Shidao lowered his eyebrows and said, "The court clearly stipulates that affair between generals is prohibited from engaging in information. General Xiao should not understand this rule?"

Xiao Xian bowed respectfully to Qi Shidao and smiled apologized: "General, don't worry, no matter who comes to ask, I have never been here tonight, nor have I seen you."

"Stop talking about it."

Qi Shidao's voice was calm.

"Qi has never had any contact with the Hexi Army. I want to see what General Xiao has to do."

"The state is not upright."

Xiao Xian looked at Qi Shidao and said in a deep voice: "General, when Emperor Ling passed the throne to Emperor Zhongzong, Emperor Zhongzong passed the throne to Emperor Taizong. The late emperor was unfortunately harmed by villains. However, no matter what, the throne should be passed on to the legitimate son of the late emperor. How could it be passed on to the current Emperor Hongdao? "

"The current emperor has been a wild Taoist priest from the first half of his life. After being praised by Lin San, he transformed himself into the legitimate grandson of Prince Zhang Ming. Isn't this ridiculous?"

"Not to mention, is he the legitimate grandson of Prince Zhang Ming? Even if he is just a deposed prince orphan, how can he be qualified to inherit the throne? Not to mention that as now, he sits on the throne and rule the world."

Xiao Xian looked up at Qi Shidao and said in a deep voice: "General, you are the son-in-law of the Tian family and the general of the Zhuguo of the imperial court!"

"Don't forget that you can rise to the top in the army, and it is the promotion of Emperor Zhongzong!"

"My uncle was also grateful to Emperor Zhongzong to become the governor of Hexi. Now, the wild Taoist priest who came from unknown to know where is slaughtering the bloodline of Emperor Zhongzong in Chang'an. General Qi, you and my uncle are both old ministers of the Zhongzong dynasty!"

Xiao Xian's voice was deep: "Are you just watching the thief do whatever he wants in Chang'an?"

Qi Shidao didn't say anything, but just looked at Xiao Xian deeply, showing a sarcastic look on his face.

"What does General Xiao mean?"

Xiao Xian took a deep breath and said, "Now, the grandson of the Emperor Zhongzong and King Wei Li Zhao have settled in my Hexi. My uncle intends to support Emperor Zhongzong to support Zhengshuo!"

"so what?"

Qi Shidao's expressionless face.

"So what General Xiao is going to do? Lead his troops into Chang'an City? He took the emperor from Chang'an City off the throne?"

"Then General Xiao will help Prince Wei ascend the throne?"

General Qi lowered his eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid General Xiao will be reluctant to leave Chang'an City at that time."

During the Fanyang Rebellion, the attitude of the major military governors in the world towards the court was already obvious.

Back then, the three Jiedushi who sent troops to serve the king may not be loyal ministers, but the Jiedushi who did not send troops must not be loyal ministers. Among them, two include the Hexi Jiedushi Xiao Cheng.

What is the Zhengshuo of the Great Zhou Dynasty, what is the old minister of Emperor Zhongzong?

They are just excuses to gain profits.

At this time, Xiao Cheng sent people to Shuofang, just to send troops to Guanzhong with Qi Shidao, and to take down the throne of the emperor in Guanzhong.

After all, if the Hexi Army wants troops to enter Guanzhong, the Shuofang Army is a threshold they cannot avoid.

Sweat was revealed on Xiao Cheng's forehead. He took a deep breath and bowed to Qi Shidao, "General Qi misunderstood. My uncle is loyal to the country and feels that he has no intention of rebelling against the Great Zhou. This time he came to Shuofang, and he didn't want to invite General Qi to send troops to Guanzhong together, but..."

"My uncle means that one day our Hexi Army will send troops to serve the Prince of King Wei Li Zhao to seek justice, I hope General Qi can make way for us to enter Guanzhong..."

Hearing this sentence, Qi Shidao's eyes narrowed slightly.

He already understood what Xiao Cheng meant.

Xiao Cheng didn't think he could persuade Shidao Qi. He sent someone to Shuofang for a simple purpose.

What he meant was that when the Hexi Army sent troops in the future, the Shuofang Army would not block the road and let the Hexi Army continue to advance eastward and pounce towards Chang'an.

Thinking of this, General Qi couldn't help but frown.

He stood up from the chair, walked to Xiao Xian, and quietly looked at the young man from the Xiao family.

"The Hexi Army has a lot of plans and plans, and there are less than 80,000 people."

Qi Shidao's tone was quiet: "You can't support more soldiers in the five states. Even if Qi gives way to you, how can you, a Hexi army, have the confidence to open the door in the switch?"

Xiao Xian smiled and said with a smile, "General, since ancient times, evil has not defeated righteousness. If our Hexi army advances eastward to fight against the thieves, it will be the righteous army of the Great Zhou. At that time, we only need to raise our arms and shout, and the righteous men in Guanzhong will naturally gather to respond, and Guanzhong will defeat itself without attacking..."

Qi Shidao didn't say anything, but just silently pulled out the sword from his waist and placed it on Xiao Xian's neck.

The long sword shone coldly, making Xiao Xian's legs tremble.

"General, you..."

Qi Shidao looked at Xiao Xian coldly with a blank expression: "Do you believe what you are saying?"

"Speak, Xiao Cheng...had he secretly connected with Tubo?!"

If Xiao Cheng was sure to open the door of the switch with his own strength, it means that he would definitely have more than one Hexi army in his hands.

The Hexi Army is adjacent to two alien races, Tubo and Turkic. The Turkic army has become weaker and weaker in recent decades, and it is no longer enough to prove it. However, Tubo...

It has been strong to this day.

Even when Emperor Zhongzong was alive, he was unwilling to start a war with the Tubo people!

What's even more terrible is that Kang Dongping, the former governor of Fanyang, was in Tubo at this moment, and he was still doing well in Tubo.

Xiao Xian looked down at the long knife around his neck and couldn't help swallowing.
