Chapter 1194 Xiao Chen succeeds and fails Xiao Chen
Either he is happy to see you, Brother Xiao, come back as his elder brother, or he is happy to see you, Xiao Chen, throwing himself into the trap and becoming the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard.
The four of them met formally. After Zhu Xiaochuan and Wen Huan had finished greeting, Xiao Chen explained, "Didn't I just come back and hear that Mr. Wang is expecting a baby, so he came here to ask for a drink?"
"Yes and it should be!" Zhu Xiaochuan said with a smile, "Today we are having Mr. Wang's wedding wine, but tomorrow we have to have your brother's wedding wine."
"Ah? Where does my little brother's happiness come from?" Xiao Chenxin said that he might have to eat a banquet, but he didn't know if it was a happy event or a funeral for me, little brother?
"I heard that Brother Xiao, your operation was a great success. Isn't this a huge happy event?" Zhu Xiaochuan said with a smile.
"Oh my, this is really embarrassing to say. Brother Zhu, don't make fun of me." Xiao Chen, a person with such a thick skin, blushed in embarrassment.
This is not an act, I'm really embarrassed.
After all, I have been a eunuch for so many years and suddenly became a man. It was very strange.
"Hahaha, brother Xiao, a hero in this world, can he act like a child?" Zhu Xiaochuan laughed again.
These words sounded slightly harsh, and it seems that the next words will be even worse...
"Brother Xiao, it'll be great if you come back. Those rumors won't be broken, otherwise I won't be afraid of your jokes. Brother, I'm still thinking about this in my heart." Zhu Xiaochuan suppressed his smile and got to the point.
"I just heard what Mr. Wang said. I was so frightened that my liver and gallbladder were split, my internal organs collapsed, and I was peeing like shit!" Xiao Chen said, "Master Zhu, don't you think this is nothing?"
"Your brother is afraid of something that doesn't happen?" Zhu Xiaochuan said, "How could such a wise and wise emperor like the Emperor wrong your brother because of the words of a villain? But if this matter is not explained clearly,
I’m afraid that people outside will talk nonsense, after all, those people identified by Tianxuanhui are all in prison now..."
Damn, have they all been arrested? Xiao Chen was shocked when he heard this, because he didn't know the news when he came. It seemed that it happened in the past few days.
If this is the case, then wouldn’t I also...
"Brother Xiao, don't worry, you are different from them... You are our emperor's most beloved minister. Even if I want to arrest you and put you in jail, I have to get the emperor's nod, hahaha!"
Zhu Xiaochuan's smile this time was really terrifying.
"It's true that when people sit at home, trouble comes from the sky!" Xiao Chen sighed, "But it's all my fault that I am young and energetic and like to be in the limelight, which is why I got into big trouble. If I had known it would happen today.
,Really why bother in the first place?”
Hinting to Zhu Xiaochuan, don't forget that I got into trouble with the Tianxuan Society. In the final analysis, it is thanks to your brother. For this reason, even if I am taken away by the emperor, you can still put in a good word for me.
In addition, I would like to express a few complaints. I worked so loyally and risked my life to run errands for the emperor, but what I got in return was the emperor's suspicion. It was indeed very heartbreaking.
"Brother Xiao's troubles don't stop there." Now that he has said it all, Zhu Xiaochuan simply said bluntly, "Wanyan Pingqiu and Moro actually rebelled. There was no warning in advance. It was too sudden. The emperor was extremely shocked when he heard about it.
Shocked, even angry...Brother Xiao, as the governor of Yanyun, you are actually responsible for this matter."
"Brother Xiao, you were very good friends with both of them before. I heard that you even changed your posts and worshiped them? Not only did you strongly support Wanyan Pingqiu to become the leader of the Northern Territory Alliance, but you also gave him a lot of supplies, food, grass and weapons. This is
It fueled his coquettishness and strengthened his strength, so that he did such a treasonous and unethical thing." Wang Anbang said.
"The Longjiang Mutual Market also helped them. They used to use pots for cooking for decades. Now every household has ironware, and the excess is used to make weapons and armor, just like
The Xianbo tribe used to have only two thousand heavy armored cavalry, but I heard there are now more than ten thousand." Zhu Xiaochuan said.
"Before, they didn't have enough to eat and didn't have enough clothes to wear, so they just lived in peace and quiet. Now that they have enough to eat and wear clothes, and their troops and horses are strong, their ambitions have grown again, and their plots have become bigger. Before, they were still scattered, but now they are completely scattered.
After Yan Pingqiu became the leader of the alliance, he can unite them all and cannot be underestimated." Wang Anbang said.
"I didn't expect that King Xianbomoluo would surrender to him. It can be seen that we all underestimated this person at the beginning. If he had killed him when he came to Fengyang to participate in the Dengyuan Poetry Festival that year, we would not have the troubles we have today.
...But he is here today because, in the final analysis, you helped him too much, Brother Xiao. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are the initiator, right?" Zhu Xiaochuan said.
"The power of Northern Xinjiang is Xiao Chen's success, and Xiao Chen's failure." Wang Anbang nodded in agreement.
The two people's words did not completely wrong Xiao Chen, and what they said was basically true. Especially the sentence "Xiao Chen succeeds and Xiao Chen fails" is really very appropriate.
So Xiao Chen didn't deny it, he just sighed deeply.
"Sigh... This is all true. At that time, I just wanted to stabilize the situation in the entire Northern Xinjiang and prevent them from causing trouble with our Great Zhou Dynasty. They all agreed well at the beginning. I think the people in Northern Xinjiang have always
I am quite honest, so I have always treated them with courage, but I did not expect that they would betray the covenant and rebel openly."
"But in the final analysis, it is still my fault, because before Wanyan Pingqiu wanted to attack Gao Juli, he came to ask for my opinion. I agreed and strongly supported it. I thought at the time that this would not only regain our lost territory in the Zhou Dynasty, but also give me my opinion."
It is a great thing to be able to show off the prestige of our great Zhou Dynasty. Who would have thought that..."
"Although Wanyan Pingqiu retreated under my coercion, he was so angry that he even cut off his own shirt and gave it to me, with eight big characters written on the inside and outside in blood.
It's 'cut off one's robe and cut off justice', and on the other hand it's 'treachery'!" Xiao Chen said, "This is scolding me for not being a human being on both sides!"
"Originally, he only wanted to occupy Buyeo County as a barrier to northern Xinjiang in the future. With his temper, this has already been a considerable concession. However, unexpectedly, the Japanese Japs were so aggressive that they frequently sent envoys to force him to completely withdraw from Gaoju.
Li, whose attitude was extremely arrogant, finally angered him, and then he announced his separation from the Northern Alliance."
"I have repeatedly advised him not to act out of emotion and to focus on the overall situation. I have also repeatedly sent people to ask him to come to Changshan for a long-term discussion, but he simply ignored me and threatened to make a clean break with us in the future and not follow me again.
There is no friendship...there is nothing I can do about it."
"I did help him a lot, and he was deeply grateful. In order to further build a good relationship with him, I became a sworn brother with him, thinking that the northern border would have long-term peace and stability in the future. But unexpectedly, he turned his back on me and refused to acknowledge me. I sincerely
In exchange for being ruthless, Lord Zhu said that I was the instigator of this matter and I had nothing to say, so now aren’t I just trapping myself in a cocoon?"
Xiao Chen's words sounded like he was self-pitying and admitting his mistakes, but they actually contained a hint of edge.
