Li Tianheng's eyes lit up. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart, but he didn't have a high-sounding reason.
Zhang Ziqian said: "Dakang's development today is the result of many years of abuses. It is by no means a day's work. It can be said that it is difficult to return. The Lord is loyal and patriotic. Even if he leads the subjects of Xichuan to return to Dakang, the end result will definitely be to use Xichuan's strength.
, to save Dakang from water and fire. Although Xichuan is blessed by heaven and has good harvests year after year, the food stored in Xichuan can never alleviate Dakang's difficulties. I will give you an example. Xichuan is just a child. Although he is good at water, he has the ability to
He was protecting himself in the river, but could not save Dakang, a drowning giant. If he reluctantly rescued him, he would surely face the same fate. The lord should categorically refuse the emperor's canonization, and immediately draw a clear line with Dakang, even if it means bearing the temporary infamy.
But it can prevent the people of Xichuan from falling into fire and water."
Li Tianheng nodded slowly. Zhang Ziqian undoubtedly gave himself a high-sounding excuse. My refusal to be canonized by Emperor Dakang was not for myself, but for the people of Xichuan. Li Tianheng said: "If I openly refuse his canonization,
I'm afraid that I will be found guilty of conspiracy. Brother Ziqian, most people in Xichuan still think that they are the people of Dakang. Even among the soldiers under me, many of them also have their hearts set on Dakang. I'm worried that they will really
If it reaches this point, many people will be dissatisfied, and if turmoil breaks out because of this, how will it end?"
Zhang Ziqian said: "The emperor's decision to make this step must be a plan after careful consideration. Maybe he hopes that the situation mentioned by the lord will occur."
Li Tianheng said: "There must be a perfect strategy. If I accept his canonization, but I still stick to Xichuan, it will be delayed for a while."
Zhang Ziqian said: "Waiting is definitely not an option. The card of King Zhou has never played its due role."
Li Tianheng nodded slowly: "Everything depends on people, and everything depends on heaven. The emperor's luck is beyond my imagination."
Zhang Ziqian sighed and said: "I didn't expect that Long Yelin would lose so soon." The opportunity was fleeting. In fact, when Long Yelin came to the throne, Zhang Ziqian proposed that Li Tianheng support Zhou Wang Long Yefang to ascend the throne, but after weighing it, Li Tianheng still decided
He decided to put this plan on hold until he felt the time was right and was ready to support the King of Zhou to the throne. However, the old emperor was successfully restored. It can be said that he missed the best opportunity, which led to the current embarrassing situation.
Li Tianheng's heart was far from as calm as he appeared on the surface. As he just said, Xichuan was not a piece of iron. In the past, the subjects were loyal to him because he was loyal to the king under the banner of Qin. Now that the old emperor has returned to the throne, he himself
He did not return to Dakang immediately. His true intentions have been noticed by many people. Since the restoration of the old emperor, Li Tianheng has been busy consolidating his rule. Whenever he finds a general who is dissatisfied with him, he will either execute him or remove him from office. It can be said that
There were great changes in the Xichuan army.
Zhang Ziqian said: "I heard that Dayong's envoys will arrive in Xizhou in the next two days. The Lord's birthday banquet has alarmed many important people."
Li Tianheng sneered and said: "Xue Shengkang of Dayong has always been eyeing the land of Dakang. I don't know his intentions. He just wants to stabilize Xichuan. Attack Dakang first, and then he will attack us."
Zhang Ziqian said: "Dayong's current strength can indeed be called the hegemon of the Central Plains. Looking across the Central Plains, there is no one who can fight with him."
Li Tianheng said: "My Xichuan is surrounded by mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If he dares to come, I will fight with him and see who wins in the end!"
Zhang Ziqian said: "Master, do you really intend to accept the throne conferred by the emperor?"
Li Tianheng said: "Although I don't want to in my heart. But if I don't accept his canonization, how can I stop the world from talking about it?"
Zhang Ziqian secretly sighed in his heart, Li Tianheng was still a little indecisive at the critical moment. He cared too much about his own reputation. Since he wanted to be the overlord, why bother to build these false arches. It was like hiding one's ears and stealing the bell, even if you bow to Dakang now.
If you call yourself a minister, others will not regard you as a meritorious official, nor will your name go down in history. Zhang Ziqian said: "Lord, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
Li Tianheng said: "You and I talk about everything. I have always treated you like an elder brother. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Zhang Ziqian said: "If you continue to break up, you will inevitably suffer chaos! I think it is time for your lord to completely draw a clear line with Dakang."
Li Tianheng frowned: "It's not that I don't want to, but I think it's not time yet."
Zhang Ziqian said: "The reason why Dakang fell into such a situation is inseparable from the emperor's mediocre rule. Why don't my lord take the opportunity to promote the king of Zhou to the throne and ask the king to write an edict of attack and list the emperor's crimes? What is the support of the people? What is the people's support?
Food is your top priority, as long as you can keep the people fed and clothed, they will be loyal to you."
Li Tianheng's expression was complicated and tangled. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Let me think about it again, let me think about it again."
Zhang Ziqian said: "Sewing the king is only the first step for the court. If they fail to seal the king this time, they will definitely come up with other ideas. My lord must see the situation clearly. Dakang has reached a point where there is no way out. If you want to survive, just
Nishikawa must be captured."
The city of Kangdu was covered with clouds. It had been raining for eleven consecutive days. Waterlogging was serious in the capital. Even many places in the palace began to accumulate water. Long Xuanen stood outside Jingde Palace and looked at the people who were busy draining water in the courtyard.
The palace ladies could not help but frown.
Hong Beimo arrived at this time and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, why don't you go into the palace and rest early? Let the palace people do these things."
Long Xuanen shook his head and said in a heavy voice: "How is the situation in the city?"
Hong Beimo said: "There is serious water accumulation everywhere in the capital. The deep water can already submerge an adult. There are many places where you can go boating."
Long Xuanen raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky. The rain was still pouring down. He sighed and turned around and walked into Jingde Palace.
Hong Beimo followed Long Xuanen and walked in. Long Xuanen said: "Even God won't help me. Natural disasters continue. Do you really want to push me into a desperate situation?".
Hong Beimo said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I'll watch the sky at night and it should clear up tomorrow."
Long Xuanen sighed: "You can see through the clouds and clouds, but you can't change it."
A helpless smile appeared on Hong Beimo's lips: "Your Majesty, these things are indeed beyond my power to change."
Long Xuanen murmured: "Destiny cannot be violated..." His mood was indeed a little low.
Hong Beimo said: "I just received the news that Hu Xiaotian has arrived in Xizhou."
Long Xuanen nodded: "Li Tianheng's birthday will be in five days. Has Hu Xiaotian conveyed my will?"
Hong Beimo said: "I haven't heard the news about Li Tianheng accepting the imperial edict. Maybe Hu Xiaotian hasn't seen Li Tianheng yet."
Long Xuanen's eyes revealed a gloomy light: "Will Li Tianheng be disobedient and disrespectful?"
Hong Beimo said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. The person he relies on most is the King of Zhou. This is a trump card that he can use to attack us at any time."
Long Xuanen pursed his lips: "It is urgent to get rid of the future troubles."
Hong Beimo said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The layout of Xizhou has been completed. As long as your Majesty gives the order, we can start operations immediately."
Long Xuan'en said: "Li Tianheng's birthday banquet was the day he died."
After arriving in Xizhou, Hu Xiaotian and his subordinates all tensed up. Because they were aware of the old emperor's purpose, Hu Xiaotian did not dare to be careless in the slightest. They stayed at home for three days in Xizhou, except for practicing martial arts.
rest.
After he transferred part of his internal energy to Huo Shengnan through the Shooting Sun Scripture, he felt that the pressure on the Qi Sea in his Dantian was relieved a lot, and there was no conflict between internal forces. Of course, he could not be sure whether it was the Shooting Sun Scripture or Li Yuncong who taught it.
His "Bodhi Mindless Zen" worked.
In terms of internal strength, Hu Xiaotian no longer needs to practice. What he needs more is how to weaken the powerful internal force in the Dantian Qi sea, so as to prevent his own Dantian meridians from being able to withstand too strong internal force. Hu Xiaotian usually spends more energy on swordsmanship in his training.
A little older, he has perfected the moves of the Seven Heaven-Destroying Swords, but the sword energy is still not released at will. Even so, the success rate is greatly improved compared to the past.
As for the Nine Swords of the Spirit Snake that Xumitian taught him before leaving, Hu Xiaotian has completely mastered the entire set of swordsmanship. Both sets of swordsmanship are superior martial arts, one is hard and the other is soft, and the styles are completely different.
When Hu Xiaotian was practicing his sword in the early morning, he saw Yang Lingqi hurried in. He inserted the hidden edge of the big sword on the ground, picked up the sweat towel hanging on the branch and wiped the sweat on his face, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang
,So early!"
Yang Lingqi said: "I just went outside for a walk and got some news."
Hu Xiaotian said: "What news?"
Yang Lingqi said: "The Dayong envoy has also arrived. I heard that this time King Xue Shengjing of Yan came to celebrate his birthday in person."
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help being startled when he heard Xue Shengjing's name. Xue Shengjing was his sworn brother. Fortunately, Huo Shengnan didn't come with him this time. Otherwise, if Xue Shengjing found out his identity, it would cause another big trouble. Thinking of him
He and Huo Shengnan fled from Dayong all the way back, and were hunted down one after another on the way. Those killers were probably sent by Xue Shengjing, and Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
Yang Lingqi said: "Li Tianheng's birthday banquet was very popular this time. It is said that not only Dakang, Heihu, Sharjah and even South Vietnam sent envoys to congratulate him."
Hu Xiaotian said: "You should investigate as soon as possible who they are and where they live."
Yang Lingqi smiled and said: "We have already investigated clearly." He handed the address of the list to Hu Xiaotian. Through Meng Zizai's treatment on the way, the function of Yang Lingqi's left hand recovered a lot. Although it could not completely return to normal function, it could be improved.
He writes with a pen, and of course his calligraphy is different from what he used to do.
Hu Xiaotian saw Yang Lingqi's hand, pursed his lips and said, "Brother Yang, when we return to Kangdu, I will find a way to help you treat it again."
The third update is here, and I’m asking for recommendation votes. This state doesn’t just recover, it seems that the enthusiasm of brothers and sisters is the same. Look at my performance, I will work hard! (To be continued...)
