As the saying goes, those who understand current affairs are heroes! With Su Mingzhe in Shu, who thinks that a land god is the emperor, the country's power will surely rise like the sun, and it will be unstoppable!
On the other hand, the Liyang Dynasty, which had ruled the world for only about ten years, began to smell of decay and became an old man who was about to rot!
There is no comparison between the two. Now, Su Mingzhe has shown unpredictable methods when selecting the Yulin Guards.
Yuan Benxi is not a fool, and naturally he will not sternly engage in the "dedicate himself to death" for the Liyang Dynasty.
After sitting down again, the two chatted for a while about the strategy of governing the country. You came and went, exploring each other's problems.
At noon, Su Mingzhe invited Yuan Benxi to have a meal in the palace. The two continued to chat in the afternoon.
Before leaving, Yuan Benxi looked panicked and asked Su Mingzhe for forgiveness, "Your Highness, among the old officials from Western Shu sent by me, only six are still loyal to Shu. The others cannot be trusted!"
"Yuan Benxi said, and took out a list from his sleeve that he had written overnight.
Chen Yu took it from his hand and handed it to Su Mingzhe. Su Mingzhe looked at it and saw that the six names at the top were the loyal veterans mentioned by Yuan Benxi.
The names of other old ministers are all followed by the names of their masters. Among them, some ministers are not disloyal to Shu, but to Su Mingzhe.
These ministers stubbornly believe that ‘the first emperor establishes the first son’. Since the late emperor’s eldest son Su Su is here, Su Mingzhe, the third prince, should ‘abdicate the throne in favor of the first son’!
In addition, there were some old ministers who were won over by Beiliang, Liyang, Beimang and other forces. At the end, Su Mingzhe discovered that there were two people who had the idea of rebellion and self-reliance, but later did not know why they did not carry out the plan.
.
They are all talents! Putting away the list, Su Mingzhe smiled lightly and commented, "Yuan Aiqing is interested!" When Yuan Benxi left, Chen Yu saw Su Mingzhe casually throwing the list into the furnace in the hall, and was surprised.
After taking a look, he asked cautiously, "Your Highness, what are you going to do with these people?"
"Why should we deal with them?" Su Mingzhe looked at Chen Yu with a faint look, and said with a chuckle, "I even dare to accept and use Yuan Benxi. Am I still afraid of a few other ministers?" Su Mingzhe did not say a word.
He could even arrange for Chen Yu, an undercover agent, to enter the harem, so what else would he be afraid of? Another half month passed.
In the Liyang Dynasty, in the third year of Qianyuan, it was the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month! It was an auspicious day! Su Mingzhe led hundreds of civil and military officials in Sichuan to go to the Temple of Heaven, the Ancestral Temple and other places to worship heaven and ancestors, and report on the restoration of Western Shu.
Another ten days passed. On the first day of the first lunar month in the fourth year of Qianyuan, Su Mingzhe officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor! The country was named ‘Da Shu’!
The reign name was "Guangwu"! The next day, Yuan Benxi, as an envoy from the Liyang Dynasty, went to court with envoys sent by other forces to congratulate him.
After the greetings, Yuan Benxi proposed a 'marriage' to Su Mingzhe in accordance with the agreement he had made with Emperor Zhao Dun of Liyang before arriving, expressing his willingness to marry Princess Sui Zhu, the beloved daughter of Emperor Zhao Dun of Liyang, to the Emperor of Shu.
At this time, the right prime minister Zhao Dingxiu stood up and stopped him, saying, "Your Majesty, Liyang has a grudge against Shu to destroy the country. Princess Liyang cannot be the queen of Shu!" Su Mingzhe was noncommittal and did not speak much.
Yuan Benxi was debating with a smile on his face. Unfortunately, his speech was unclear and he couldn't argue with the emotional Zhao Dingxiu.
In the end, Yuan Benxi could only settle for the next best thing, saying that if Princess Sui Zhu was married, she could become the concubine of the Emperor of Shu instead of being a queen, and that would be no problem!
After Zhao Dingxiu heard this, he withdrew without stopping him. After Yuan Benxi retreated, Song Yu from the Northern Liang Palace also proposed a 'marriage'.
More than four months ago, Su Mingzhe arrested Xu Zhihu and Xu Weixiong. More than three months ago, the two women were rescued by Liuzhu Bodhisattva and Deng Tai'a.
More than two months ago, when Su Mingzhe returned to Shu to restore his kingdom, the two girls were also sent back to Beiliang by the Six-Jead Bodhisattva.
This time, King Xu Xiao of Northern Liang sent Song Yu, the second steward of the palace. On the surface, Song Yu was the steward of the palace, but in fact he was in charge of Fushui House in the palace of Northern Liang.
Fushuifang and Zhao Gou were both institutions similar to Jinyiwei. Faced with Song Yu's request for a 'marriage', Zhao Dingxiu came forward to scold him.
Song Yu debated again. The final result was to send the two sisters Xu Zhihu and Xu Weixiong together.
In addition, upon seeing this, some other envoys also requested for 'marriage'. In name, the women in marriage were all noble daughters.
In fact, the identities of these women are either similar to Xu Weixiong, and they are dead spies. For example, Lin Hongyuan, the noble daughter sent by King Yanchi of southern Xinjiang.
Lin Hongyuan was the princess of the Dragon Palace, a powerful force in the world of martial arts. She was affiliated with King Yanchi of southern Xinjiang. Here, she was once ordered to assassinate Xu Fengnian.
Either there are dead spies around these women. For example, the Queen of Qingzhou sent by King Jing'an in early winter.
Wang Chudong, together with Xu Weixiong, is one of the "Four Talented Women of Liyang". Her sister married into the Liyang royal family, and her father Wang Linquan is a veteran of Beiliang!
Su Mingzhe basically refused to accept the "gift away" behavior of these forces. After the court meeting, Yuan Benxi, Song Yu and other envoys left one after another.
At another court meeting, the Minister of Rites asked who should be appointed as the head of the harem.
"I already have an idea about this matter!" Su Mingzhe said with a faint smile, "The queen is the mother of the world, and has arranged for the general to search for it for me!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Seeing that Su Mingzhe had already had an idea, Zhao Dingxiu and others immediately changed the subject. Shu had just returned to the country, and it could be said that all businesses were waiting to be prospered. There were many things going on, and everyone could not always focus on finding a solution for the emperor.
Enter woman.
On the other side, Song Yu led his team to leave Shuzhong. As soon as they left the Jiange, they saw more than a hundred Shu troops in front of them blocking the way.
Song Yu took a closer look and saw that the Shu army general blocking the road was none other than the Shu general Ye Song. He couldn't help but feel panicked.
The general of Shu was halfway there, which didn't look like a good thing. While Song Yu was secretly frightened, he did not forget to tell the people around him to be careful. If anything went wrong, everyone would break up into pieces and scatter and run away.
"Steward Song, Ye has been waiting for a long time!" Ye Song, as Su Mingzhe's clone, has been busy since he appeared.
At the beginning, we were digging mountain roads and setting up magic formations without stopping for a moment. Later, we selected the Yulin Guards and helped these loyal men improve their cultivation.
Now, he has finally stabilized the situation. He still has to marry the 'Queen' for me! What a tiring life!
"General, what are you waiting for Song?" Although Song Yu was in charge of the Fushui Room in Beiliang Prince's Mansion, according to the information he had, Ye Song seemed to have appeared out of thin air, without any information at all.
Seeing Song Yu's nervous look, Ye Song cupped his hands and explained with a smile, "Ye was ordered to go with Butler Song to Lingzhou to meet the King of Beiliang!"
The state capital where Prince Liang's Mansion is located.
"The general wants to pay a visit to my prince. Why?"
"My Lord has a secret letter and wants me to hand it over to the King of Northern Liang. I don't know the specific content!" The reason why Ye Song wants to make the matter mysterious is because he doesn't want to prepare for the King of Northern Liang Xu Xiao to deal with it.
time!
Song Yu asked several times but couldn't find out anything. He could only order people to go back and report to the King of Beiliang, while he joined forces with Ye Song and continued northward.
Not long after leaving, both parties left the border of Shu and entered the territory of Beiliang. Xu Xiao, the king of Beiliang, got the news that Ye Song was coming and came to Li Yishan to discuss.
However, because there was no head or tail, the two of them could not guess the purpose of Ye Song's arrival. In the end, after deliberation, they could only choose to use soldiers to cover up the water and the earth!
On this day, Ye Song followed Song Yu to the gate of Lingzhou City. Xu Xiao sent his six adopted sons out to greet him.
Ye Song grabbed the reins of his mount and exchanged greetings with the six people. These six adopted sons of Xu Xiao were the "little man butcher" Chen Zhibao, who replaced Xu Xiao in charge of the Beiliang army. His prestige in Beiliang is still there.
Prince Liang is above Xu Fengnian and second only to Xu Xiao.
'White Bear' Yuan Zuozong is the protector of the Northern Liang Palace. He is the leader of the six righteous sons and is in the Mysterious Realm. 'Eagle Dog' Chu Lushan looks rough and violent, but in reality he is even more ruthless and secretive. He is also a member of the spy organization of the Northern Liang Palace.
One of the leaders.
‘Wolf Dog’ Qi Dangguo was not only loyal, but also a strong general who carried the flag. Ye Xizhen also took charge of part of the intelligence organization, but later turned to Chen Zhibao and betrayed Xu Fengnian!
Yao Jian and Ye Xizhen both betrayed Xu Xiao and were given poisonous wine to die in the end! Ye Song scanned the six adopted sons of Xu Xiao one by one with his eyes, and suddenly felt a chill running down his spine, as if all the secrets were hidden from head to toe.
It’s like they’ve all been seen through!
"What an arrogant general of Shu!" Chu Lushan has a violent personality. When Ye Song looked at him with such cold and contemptuous eyes, his bloodthirsty nature was suddenly aroused. He sneered first, then pulled out his sword and pointed at Ye Song.
Come and snap hard!
As the saying goes, the Lord is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and the Lord is concerned about the humiliation of his subjects and their death. Emperor Su Mingzhe of Shu was a land god, and Chu Lushan could not defeat him, so he did not dare to fight.
However, a little general of Shu dared to despise Beiliang! It's really intolerable, but what can't be tolerated!
'Chu Lushan declared to the outside world that his strength is that of a second-grade minor grandmaster. In fact, his cultivation refers to the Xuan realm. His combat effectiveness is among Xu Xiao's six sons, three points better than Yuan Zuozong, who has the highest cultivation realm, and is second only to the use of 'Plum wine'.
'The Chen Zhibao.
Now, Chu Lushan drew his sword, locked his Qi machine on Ye Song, and with one move, "Strike Huashan", the sword was radiant and exuded a strong black aura, wrapping Ye Song inside!
Fierce and domineering! Arrogant and cruel! Song Yugang was about to plead for Ye Song, but was stopped by Chen Zhibao, Qi Dangguo and others.
They also want to see what the state of Western Shu will be like after it is re-established! If the general of Western Shu cannot even compare with Chu Lushan, it means that the only emperor in Western Shu is a land fairy, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
of.
If General Ye Song has superior strength and can easily block Chu Lushan's sword, then Beiliang will have to adopt a new attitude towards Xishu.
What if... poof - while everyone in Beiliang was still watching the joke, in the flash of lightning, Ye Song had already completed the action of drawing and sheathing his sword!
Chu Lushan's round head was carried by a burst of hot blood and flew far away. After his fat and strong body fell on the ground for a long time, the head slowly stopped rolling!
Outside Lingzhou City, a gust of cold wind blew! Song Yu looked at Chu Lushan's body separated, with a confused and innocent look on his face, "What just happened?"
"Why is Chu Lushan dead?" Just now, he was standing next to Ye Song, as a second-grade junior master, but he didn't see anything!
It wasn't just Song Yu who didn't see it, others had similar reactions. Only Chen Zhibao clenched the plum wine in his hand, his tiger eyes exuding a fierce fighting spirit, and at the same time he couldn't help but exclaimed, "What a fast sword."
