The old man didn't have a striking appearance, and his smile was kind and amiable. He didn't have the sinister aura of someone who had been in charge of a secret service agency for a long time.
"Foreign Minister Yuan Benxi pays homage to His Highness!"
As soon as they met, Yuan Benxi followed the etiquette and paid homage to Su Mingzhe!
He has a bit of a lisp when he speaks!
Su Mingzhe knew that half of Yuan Benxi's tongue had been removed by Huang Longshi, the top three warriors of the Spring and Autumn Period. He was not surprised by this, so he directly followed the etiquette and shouted:
"Yuanqing's family is peaceful, and I will grant you a seat!"
Su Mingzhe held Chen Yu with one arm and Murong Wuzhu with the other. His face was one-third careless, one-third playful and teasing, and the last few parts were cold and cold.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
As a master of two generations of emperors, Yuan Benxi's ability to observe words and emotions is naturally unparalleled.
He could now clearly realize that the third prince in front of him had murderous intentions towards him.
Is it because of Chen Yu?
Or is it because he is an imperial master?
Just when Yuan Benxi's mind started to spin crazily, looking for a solution, he heard Su Mingzhe suddenly shout angrily:
"Yuan Benxi, you are so brave, you dare to place an undercover spy next to me!"
"The foreign minister is guilty!"
Yuan Benxi had just sat down, and with a plop, he knelt down again!
He confessed directly and did not make excuses!
"Since you know your crime, then suffer death!"
Su Mingzhe waved his hand and fired out a black and white sword energy, which penetrated into Yuan Benxi's body.
"This is a yin-yang sword energy. As long as my energy suppresses it, the sword energy will only shrink in your Dantian. After three months, when the energy dissipates, the yin-yang sword energy will burst out of your body!"
"You now have three months to deal with your own funeral affairs!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After Yuan Benxi came to Shu, he had been worried about his life, so he remained unprecedentedly cautious in his words and deeds.
As a result, Su Mingzhe now directly pronounced that he only had three months left to live.
With the death situation decided, Yuan Benxi no longer panicked, and returned to his previous detached and calm attitude!
According to etiquette, Yuan Benxi first presented this gift to Su Mingzhe.
In addition to various gold and silver jewelry, as well as various tributes from the Liyang Dynasty, the most 'valuable' ones should be more than fifty former officials of Western Shu.
Calculating the time, Xi Shu has been destroyed for twenty years.
At that time, a number of old officials from Western Shu died for their country, and a number were captured. The last batch basically followed the two princes and participated in the "Hongjia North Bend"!
Hong Jia's flight to the north refers to the remnants of the Eight Kingdoms in the Spring and Autumn Period, who were unwilling to accept the management of the Liyang Dynasty and fled to Beimang collectively under the planning of several counselors in the Spring and Autumn Period.
It was during this plan that brothers Su Su and Su Mingzhe escaped to Beimang!
Now, Emperor Liyang Zhao Dun actually sent people to send back all the old ministers from Western Shu who had fled to Beimang!
"This move from Liyang Dynasty is really brilliant!"
"Most of these old ministers are already old. Now that they have returned, they must be filled with thoughts of 'restoration' and 'legitimacy'!"
"As the future new emperor of Shu, when facing these old ministers, I cannot beat them or scold them. I can only enshrine them as 'old treasures'!"
"The most important point is that these old ministers have been wandering in foreign lands for twenty years and still retain some loyalty to their homeland of Western Shu. I can't be sure even if I sleep!"
Su Mingzhe clearly guessed the strange thoughts of Liyang Dynasty, with a slight sneer at the corner of his mouth, but slowly disdain in his eyes!
Only when the strength is equal, the use of conspiracy will be effective.
When the strength of the two sides is as different as clouds and mud, all conspiracies and tricks will be in vain!
Su Mingzhe first received these old ministers politely, and then asked Wang Chengen to arrange for these old ministers to take a bath, change clothes and rest, and come to see them again tomorrow!
At this point, Su Mingzhe was also ready to let Yuan Benxi go down.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Benxi raised his hands and shouted:
"Your Highness, the foreign minister has something important to tell you, so please step aside!"
"good!"
Su Mingzhe did not refuse Yuan Benxi's request.
He waved his hand and dismissed the palace maids, eunuchs and guards, leaving only two beauties, Murong Wuzhu and Chen Yu, to wait on him.
When Yuan Benxi saw that there were only four people left in the hall, he straightened his back. His old eyes, which were already cloudy, showed a rare sharp edge:
"Your Highness, do you know: What is the foundation of the Liyang Dynasty?"
Yuan Benxi didn't wait for Su Mingzhe to answer, he stretched out his hand and pointed towards the top of his head, with a look on his face, and shouted sternly:
"It's an immortal!"
"The foundation of the Liyang Dynasty is the immortal above the sky!"
"The last time you went to Tai'an City, you should have wiped out the Liyang royal family in one go. Only in this way can the great revenge be avenged!"
"In the end, you were stopped by Wang Xianzhi and Li Chungang, giving the Liyang royal family a chance to breathe!"
"Now the Liyang Dynasty has ordered Qin Tianjian and Tianshi Mansion to offer sacrifices to heaven, and invite immortals to come down to earth and station themselves in Tai'an City!"
"If you dare to go to Tai'an City again, Tai'an City will be your burial place!"
Su Mingzhe was immediately amused after hearing Yuan Benxi's arrogant words:
"Yuanqing family, do you know what the immortal above the sky looks like?"
"Do you know how the human world communicates with the fairy world?"
"Do you know what an immortal has to go through when he comes to earth?"
"Yuanqing's family, do you know that you are serious and talk nonsense, like a clown!"
Su Mingzhe burst out laughing, but his attitude made Yuan Benxi so angry that he wished he could become an immortal, jump on Su Mingzhe, and slap him hard several times!
"That's all!"
"Yuanqing family, I know what you mean. You want to make me angry, go to Tai'an City, and wash the blood of the Liyang royal family in Tai'an City, right?"
Su Mingzhe finally stopped laughing, his sharp eyebrows and starry eyes showed a bit of playfulness:
"What a pity, I won't be fooled by you!"
"Last time in Tai'an City, Li Chungang and Wang Xianzhi appeared together! Among them, Li Chungang was invited by Xu Xiao, the king of Northern Liang!"
"And Wang Xianzhi was invited here by you!"
"You spent a lot of effort to invite Wang Xianzhi to protect the Liyang Dynasty and Zhao Dun, but Zhao Dun went back on his word and prepared to choose a prince who hates you as the future prince!"
"You know that your fate will be miserable in the future, so you want to borrow a knife to kill someone!"
"right?"
As Su Mingzhe exposed Yuan Benxi's conspiracy word by word, Yuan Benxi, Murong Wuzhu, and Chen Yu were all dumbfounded, with expressions of disbelief.
"This is the benefit of reading novels, you can predict the future!"
Seeing that Yuan Benxi was frightened by him, Su Mingzhe waved his hand to ask him to step back:
"Yuanqing family, in a few days, it will be a good day for our country of Shu to select Yulin Guards. I hope Yuanqing family can come to participate in the selection ceremony!"
Yuan Benxi left the palace in despair. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
He also didn't expect that Su Mingzhe would reveal his hard-planned plan so easily!
"Could this third prince be an immortal who descended to earth, or was he the reincarnation of an old monster from before the Spring and Autumn Period?"
After Yuan Benxi thought about it on his own, he felt a sense of awe for Su Mingzhe deep in his heart!
In the Liyang Dynasty, he was the imperial master for two generations.
When the late emperor was still alive, the eight dragons seized the throne.
Originally, the sixth prince, Zhao Heng, had won over most of the courtiers and was liked by the Queen Mother, so he had already secured victory.
Unexpectedly, the second prince Zhao Dun took an unusual path and gave up the support of the courtiers. He asked his younger brother Zhao Yi to kneel and beg for the support of several military generals, while he himself begged Yuan Benxi, who was in charge of Zhao Gou, for support.
At that time, Zhao Dun directly promised Yuan Benxi:
"I would like to be Mr.'s puppet!"
And after Zhao Dun ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, this was indeed the case. He continued to obey Yuan Benxi and became his puppet!
In the Liyang Dynasty, Yuan Benxi relied on his superb strategies to control the overall situation of the court and was extremely powerful.
Now when he came to Shu, Su Mingzhe captured him directly with just a few words and sentenced him to death!
For a moment, Yuan Benxi felt anxious and uneasy.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
It’s time to select the Habayashi Guards!
Yuan Benxi came to Longmen Mountain outside Jinguan City with swollen dark circles under his eyes.
Twenty years ago, the army led by Xu Xiao and Zhao Yi massacred one million people in Shuzhong, leaving two million people scattered in more than thirty counties.
Now, the news that Western Shu is going to be restored has spread throughout Shu.
Su Mingzhe also made an imperial list, stating that after the restoration of Western Shu, taxes would be reduced and reduced for ten years, and then taxes would never be increased. At the same time, the population tax would also be cancelled.
When the people in Shu heard the news, they were immediately delighted and wished that Western Shu would be restored to its kingdom immediately!
Later, Su Mingzhe issued an imperial list to select Yulin Guards from all over Shu. The selection conditions were particularly easy.
In addition to certain age and household registration requirements, as well as physical fitness, as long as you can walk through a 'mountain road' he dug himself and reach the end point, you can be successfully admitted!
As soon as the news came out, the people in Shu went crazy.
In just over ten days, more than 300,000 young people from Shu signed up to participate in the Yulin Guard selection!
Yuan Benxi looked at the young men from Sichuan who came to participate in the selection. Most of them were wearing linen clothes and straw sandals with nothing to cover their bodies. For a moment, he felt extremely funny:
"It's not like these three princes have been staying in Beimang for a long time. They want the people in Shu to learn Beimang's horsemanship and shooting, so that all the people can become soldiers, right?"
