Crown Tang emperor

At least in Di Renjie's opinion, now is definitely not a good time to make foreign affairs.Years ago, the imperial court used troops to recapture the four towns of Anxi, but the current situation can only be maintained. Tubo may retaliate at any time. The personnel assigned to the Western Regions cannot be easily withdrawn, and may even require continuous investment.

From the perspective of the court, although the water transportation matters presided over by the Daiwang family have achieved some results, the national budget and expenditure have been slightly calmed down.However, the operation of this matter is still shallow and needs to be stabilized. At the very least, we need to see how the overall increase in this year's revenue will be to determine whether it will be successful or not.

Under such circumstances, His Majesty the Holy Emperor insisted on going his own way and decided to go to the Turks, and he still used such a weird excuse, without an overall strategic intention and tactical concept at all.It may be undefeated by luck, but there is no way to reverse the offensive and defensive situation in the north. It is simply a waste of money and people.

Di Renjie believes that many insightful people in the government can see this problem, but the reason why no powerful person came forward to dissuade it is nothing more than that everyone involved has lost the integrity of discussing the matter as it stands.

For example, Cui Xuanwei in front of me, who works in Fengge, deeply understands the secrets, and avoids talking about the obvious political chaos of the court, but instead discusses the remaining details.After all, power is all about seduction.

In today's Zhengshitang, it is said that there are five prime ministers, but Xia Guan Shangshu Wang Xiaojie, who is the guardian of Anxi, only leads the prime minister.Li Zhaode, Fengge's servant, was trapped in Xijing, and he couldn't return to the court calmly, so he could perform his duties as a prime minister.As for the three people in the court, none of them have the capacity to take charge of the national economy.

So in the future, the Zhengshitang will definitely have to make some major additions and adjustments.This is already the consensus of the officials in the court, and it is also a situation deliberately facilitated by His Majesty the Holy Emperor.

Therefore, those in charge of the political affairs hall are cautious in their words and deeds, and dare not violate the holy will.And those who feel that they are qualified are also careful to observe, hoping to pay homage to the prime minister in one fell swoop.

Cui Xuanwei is now an official in Fengge Sheren, and is also the prime minister's backup echelon.This is the reason why the person pointed at Li Zhaode.As long as Li Zhaode can be pushed out of the court, then the Zhengshitang will have to be supplemented.

Cui Xuanwei, who was born in Hebei, has an advantage, that is, Xue Huaiyi must rely on the strength of the soldiers and people in Hebei to lead the army to the Turks this time.Therefore, next, His Majesty the Holy Emperor is very likely to promote a courtier from Hebei to enter the Political Affairs Hall as Prime Minister.

Therefore, the reason why the ministers did not prevent this expedition to the Turks was naturally because of His Majesty the Holy Emperor's eagerness, and the second was because of the seduction of the prime minister's position.

Originally, Di Renjie planned to join forces with court officials to dissuade the imperial court from sending more envoys southward, but due to Cui Xuanwei's disrupted voice, everyone's thinking was deviated.After all, the situation of the exiles from Lingnan has nothing to do with the situation of the court itself. After all, people have to weigh and judge from their own perspective.

So Di Renjie felt more and more depressed as he sat in the banquet, so he simply got up and said goodbye.

Cui Xuanwei sent Di Renjie out of the house, slightly avoiding Di Renjie's scrutiny, and just sighed: "Nowadays, the court situation is full of monsters, and the plan should not focus on the details. Only when the situation is settled, can we hope that everything will be settled. Di Renjie I hope you can understand me as the old man seeks the country."

Di Renjie didn't say much about it, just nodded, and then left silently.

After returning home, Di Renjie locked himself in the study, and he didn't leave the study until the morning of the next day, handed a sealed letter to his family, and told: "After the city gate is opened, hurry up." Leave the city quickly and send this letter to Erlang in Suyue's army."

Chapter 0456

At the court meeting in mid-July, the court officially announced that Xue Huaiyi, the Duke of E, would lead the army to go to the Turks.

Compared with the previous military discussion, only the original Shuofang Road march was changed to Daibei Road, and Chang Shi of Bingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and Jian'an Wang Wuyouyi were appointed as deputy chiefs of the Daibei Road march.

Not to mention how everyone in the court reacted to this decision, the kings of the Wu family couldn't help but celebrate.

"The army of the North Yam is related to the safety and security of the great interior, and it should not be taken lightly. Even if the South Yamen is halfway out, it will not be enough to become a major force. Hebei is going to make new recruits, and it is inevitable that the military affairs will be unfamiliar. The Suyue Army that the king enshrined must be included in the list of recruits. !"

Unlike the courtiers who had many feelings and complicated attitudes towards this expedition, the reason why Wu Sansi strongly supported this proposal was also simple and clear.Firstly, this is the meaning of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and secondly, it is to reintegrate their martial family's control over the northern and southern Yamen.

Xue Huaiyi's dispatch of troops this time can not only weaken Nanya's military strength in Jinei, but also have an excuse to immediately remove the military power of the king after he returns to the capital.Even if the acting king can still retain the Qianqi envoy, the three thousand newly recruited Heluo Jianer must never be in his hands again.

If there is one point of dissatisfaction, it is that His Majesty the Holy Emperor has brought Wu Youyi from Bingzhou into this expedition.Because of the entanglement between the Old Nian and the Dai Wang, Wu Youyi and his disciples of the Wu family gradually drifted away, and there were many discords with each other.

But this is also a helpless thing, the kings of the Wu clan have been in the center for a long time, and there are not many who have real experience in foreign affairs.Moreover, Wu Youyi's job is also on the route of this journey. His Majesty the Holy Emperor wants to publicize their military achievements of the Wu family, so it is suitable to choose Wu Youyi.

Wu Sansi did not have the same deep obsession with his cousin Wu Chengsi for the heir to the throne. He cared more about the power and wealth he enjoyed at the moment.Therefore, he did not pay that much attention to the ongoing treason case of the emperor's heir.

Regardless of whether the emperor's heir rebels or not, he is just a bird in a cage that was suppressed by His Majesty the Holy Emperor.

On the contrary, Dai Wang Wuji's many actions in the current situation, whether in the government affairs of the court or in the imperial army, have gradually established a stable position, which is quite deep-rooted and hard to get rid of. This made Wu Sansi very upset, and even had trouble sleeping and eating.

Therefore, when discussing with the staff around him, Wu Sansi always regarded Dai Wang as the number one enemy threatening their Wu family's power.

Once the plan of marching northward was confirmed, Wu Sansi started to recall the king Dai to the court and lift his military power.

This is not difficult to do at all. Songyang Road, where Kinki is originally located, is the place where Kinki is located. The greatest significance is to clean up the surrounding chaos and bees for the sake of enshrining Songshan in the future. There is no big enemy that requires heavy troops for a long time.

Regarding this point, the only thing that needs to be cared about is that Dai Wang does not want to give up his military power, and proposes to station Suyue Army in Songshan for a long time.

Once this happens, although there is no immediate pain like stationing directly in the capital of God, Songshan is close to Gyeonggi, and there is such an uncontrolled army stationed there, which is like a thorn in the throat, which makes people uneasy.

Therefore, next, Wu Sansi ordered Yousi to speed up the preparations for the ceremony before enshrining the Zen with the post of Chunguan Shangshu, and at the same time asked through the instructions of the Zhengshitang whether there were any bandits around Songshan Mountain.

At the same time, a letter was also sent to Anping Wang Wu Youxu, who was still in Suyue's army, asking him to speak to the imperial court, requesting his troops to return to the imperial court as soon as possible.

Through such a multi-pronged approach, the Dai Wang no longer had the excuse to lead the army outside and linger, and returned to the court to meet his embarrassing situation.

Of course, just depriving Dai Wang of his military power would not satisfy Wu Sansi.He is well aware that this kid has a deep-rooted aggressiveness, and he dared to make troubles when he had no power in the past, but now he has a group of party members, and ordinary setbacks will never be able to suppress him.

Therefore, Wu Sansi is also very patient. After arranging the matter of recalling Dai Wang Zheng to the court, he signaled Lai Junchen to send Yangzhou Governor Shi Ge Fuyuan through Yangzhou Sima Sugui during the investigation of the emperor's rebellion case. Pulled into the case together.

After these foreshadowings were completed, one day in early August, after the early court, Wu Sansi summoned Wenchang Zuocheng Wang Fangqing into the political affairs hall.

When Wang Fangqing came to the political affairs hall, Wu Sansi didn't make any false greetings, and directly said to Wang Fangqing: "A few days ago, many officials of the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion were involved in the case. It is clear that those involved in the matter can return to their innocence. But this year's situation is different from the past. First, there are reforms in Caoqu to eliminate evils, and now there are military affairs to replace the north.

Whether the Jiangnan taxes can reach the capital of God as scheduled is the most important thing for the court to maintain its affairs.The location of Yangzhou is the top priority of the canal water affairs. Once the transfer and scheduling are inappropriate, the damage will be so serious that people dare not think about it.Wang Zuocheng has a foothold in the imperial court, and he has a lot of experience in water transportation. I don't know what your opinion is on this? "

Wang Fangqing knew that Wu Sansi's question must be out of good intentions, but he couldn't help but slander him again and again when he heard what he said. Since you know that Yangzhou is so important and it is related to the maintenance of the national economy, you still instigate the criminal department to do so many things !

Although there was a lot of resentment in his heart, Wang Fangqing still took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Yangzhou has a long history. It has a long history both internally and externally. It has a deep reputation. It is a job in Yangzhou. It is trustworthy. Or someone who was disturbed by the criminal department for a while Inquiring, I want to be able to distinguish the importance of national interests and private interests, so that the public will not be abolished for personal reasons. Now that there is no criminal judgment, it is not only harmful to the national economy, but also greatly hurt the morale of the people!"

Wu Sansi could naturally hear Wang Fangqing's response to Sang's scolding Huai. After hearing the words, he just smiled and continued: "What Wang Zuocheng said is sincerely serious. But whether Ge Fuyuan was involved or not, I can't say for sure. Say, Wang Zuocheng, you must not dare to risk your life. Yangzhou water transport is related to the national economy, how can it be based on the integrity of one person!"

Speaking of this, Wu Sansi's face also became serious: "The appointment with Wang Zuocheng in the hall today is not to discuss with you whether Ge Fuyuan should be taken into the court, but to ask if you have any recommendation for Yangzhou. To be honest, the day before yesterday at the Political Affairs Hall, Yang Xianggong of Luantai recommended Wang Zuocheng to go south to succeed you, and Fengge Doulu Xianggong also expressed his intention.

However, I have a different opinion on this.Although Yangzhou's use is indeed important, but what it does is only a corner of the field. If this is the case, it is not the only one in the court who is worthy of this matter.As for Wang Zuocheng, you are new to Wenchangtai, and your job is not a one-way job. Those who can take a comprehensive look are the great talents that are currently lacking in the court.Now the Political Affairs Hall also lacks the profoundness of public opinion, and it is urgently needed to select talents to teach..."

After finishing speaking, Wu Sansi stared at Wang Fangqing seriously, waiting for his answer, with anticipation in his eyes.

He felt that he was very sincere, and he didn't care about the old relationship between Wang Fangqing and Dai Wang. He was willing to recommend Wang Fangqing to be the prime minister in the Zhengshitang, and at the same time, Wang Fangqing would recommend his people to Yangzhou.

After all, the reform of the water affairs is the focus of the attention of the people in the court today, and the cost of the Baisi depends on it.If there is no insider as a breakthrough, it would be difficult for Wu Sansi to intervene rashly.

Wu Sansi had spoken so blatantly, how could Wang Fangqing fail to understand, and after pondering for a long while, he raised his head and said: "Wenchangtai, who works in a humble position, has already felt that his power is small and his responsibility is big, so he can only be diligent and conscientious, and strive to live up to his kindness. His Royal Highness Liang Wang Inquiring about such an important matter, the lowly position is even more timid."

Hearing this answer, Wu Sansi's complexion suddenly sank, and he took a deep breath before he said, "When discussing important matters, how can you stick to one thought. You don't have to speak too early, Wang Zuocheng. It is only my own to call you today. It’s a bit of a trade-off. In fact, there are many courtiers who are outstanding in discussing the affairs of the king, but they can’t do their best due to the limitations of their duties. If they can be appointed as the governor of Yangzhou and serve Tiannan, it will definitely be beneficial to the head of the country.”

Wang Fangqing also changed abruptly after hearing the words, with deep worry in his eyes, but he just didn't say a word.

Seeing him like this, Wu Sansi could only wave his hand to let him leave the political affairs hall. When he left, his face suddenly became gloomy: "The southerners are short-sighted and think that flattering the acting king can be counted on for merit. It's ridiculous. !"

After returning to Wenchang Terrace, Wang Fangqing was still preoccupied.Wu Sansi's words made him realize that the court situation had entered an extremely sinister rhythm.What the person said may not be true, but it cannot be said that it is completely empty talk.

The political affairs hall is empty, which is already seen by everyone.There have been frequent discussions in Xiantai recently, and Zhou Yunyuan, the new right-handed prime minister, even directly impeached Li Zhaode, the prime minister who had been in Xijing for a long time.

Although both sides can be regarded as ministers who support the emperor's heir Li Dan, especially Li Zhaode's deeds for protecting the emperor's heir in the past few years are obvious to all, but under this great wish, it is inevitable that everyone has their own plans.

The current situation in the court can be said to be falling apart, not only on the side of the emperor's heir, but even on the side of the acting king.

Wu Sansi said that some people in the court proposed to let the acting king go south to Yangzhou, which was not purely intimidating.Shi Li Jingyi, acting head of the palace, has been too active recently, trying to build momentum for his brother Li Yuanyuan to return to the court to compete for a seat in the political affairs hall.

This approach directly affected the attitudes of the prime ministers in the Zhengshitang. For example, Prime Minister Yang Zaisi, who had a good relationship with him, has recently become ambiguous, and his cooperation with Wang Fangqing's affairs is not as high as before.It is obvious that the person on behalf of the king has been regarded as a potential competitor.

Moreover, Li Jingyi's overly high-profile way of doing things also made some Jiangnan people on behalf of the king, including Wang Fangqing, secretly dissatisfied.

They Jing Cong, a person from the south of the Yangtze River, operated the water transportation and other things. It can be said that they contributed their efforts to transport the people in the south of the Yangtze River to help the national economy.

Wang Fangqing avoided Liang Wang's solicitation, not because he was high-spirited and did not want to enter the political affairs hall.But he knows that compared with Dai Wang, Liang Wang is far inferior in both mind and talent. Once he switches to Liang Wang for the prime minister's position, it will be pawning and selling rural funds for vanity. Become a barnyard.

However, Wang Fangqing's recent actions also made Wang Fangqing a little unpredictable.Yao Xuan of Bianzhou sent people to report that the price of grain on both sides of the Canal and Caoqu has soared recently, and a large amount of private funds to buy grain and goods can be traced back to Dai Wang.

Although Wang Fangqing downplayed the matter at Wenchangtai on the grounds of military food delivery, Dai Wang did not explain the reasons to him in detail.Contacting Liang Wang's undisguised malice towards Dai Wang, Wang Fangqing was also surprised and suspicious about it, and did not dare to think deeply.

Maybe he thought it was a bit sinister, but if the facts are as Wang Fangqing said, then he thinks that Dai Wang's temporary withdrawal from the center may not be a bad thing.

Holding a weapon in hand, he is full of courage, but the chances of winning the acting king are almost nonexistent.Previously, in order to seek a position in the political affairs hall, it was still impossible, so I had to settle for the next best thing.The mere [-] Suyue army is far less than half of the Beiya, and it is really not enough to bring about any qualitative changes.

No matter how strong the momentum is in the territory, once they leave the two capitals, who of those who are involved in the various states has ever Mudai Wang Enwei?

Chapter 0457 has a sword in hand, can cut fierce

In mid-August, it was originally the day that Liang Wang Wu Sansi set for the Suyue Army commanded by the king to return to the court.However, a few days ago, the envoys Wan Guojun and Liu Guangye sent by the imperial court to the Lingnan case to investigate the treason of exiles were killed by strongmen one after another in the post at the southern foot of Songshan Mountain, which made things change again.

His Majesty the Holy Emperor was naturally furious about this, and Yu Chaotang stated that he must investigate thoroughly.

Wu Sansi naturally suspected that this was a method used by the Dai Wang not wanting to return to the capital. At the same time, he also expressed this suspicion through the party members, who wrote a letter to impeach the Dai Wang for making false achievements. It is proposed to return to the capital for trial on behalf of the king, and another envoy should be sent to take charge of the Suyue army.

But of course, this proposal was opposed by many courtiers. The Suyue Army itself was dedicated to dispatching, and its main task was to eliminate bandits from the capital of God to Mount Song and the surrounding areas at the foot of Mount Song.However, the place where Wan Guojun and the other two were murdered has already exceeded this range, and the Su Yue army should not rashly cross the border to inspect.

Secondly, compared with holding the acting king accountable, it seems that the county where the crime happened is more worthy of investigation.Because not long before, the relevant states and counties successively reported that the territory was peaceful and there were no traces of bandits, suggesting that the court recall the Suyue Army, and then this evil thing happened.

In order to ensure political performance or for other reasons, local officials make false reports and whitewash the peace, which is also a common thing.It is precisely because of this that the imperial court dispatches envoys from various paths to patrol every once in a while to investigate the real situation in each state.

After a little weighing, His Majesty the Holy Emperor accepted the latter, and mainly pursued local responsibilities, and asked the Suyue Army to expand the scope of inspections, and must eliminate the bandits near Songshan Mountain.

At the same time, His Majesty the Holy Emperor sent additional envoys to continue southward, and with the protection of the Suyue Army, sent them out of the area of ​​Heluo.

After such a toss, time soon came to September, and the conscription in Hebei was basically completed. Although there was still a certain gap from the original [-] troops, the date for dispatching troops had arrived, and the army could only march north according to the deadline.

Of course, the plans of the Wu clan kings to conscript Su Yue's army into the army failed.

Faced with this change, Wu Sansi was naturally in a bad mood, and depriving the Dai Wang of his military power was an important part of his plan against the Dai Wang.

Today's acting king is no longer the lonely family who was weak in the early years. If he wants to target him, he can only proceed step by step. It is better to push it further.

Not to mention that Wu Sansi was still thinking about how to deal with the king of Dai. After the army of Daibei Dao formally dispatched troops, Li Zhaode, the prime minister who had been joined by the courtiers, was finally dismissed as a prime minister and served as the lieutenant of Nan'an County in Quanzhou.Wang Xiaojie, the protector of most of Anxi, was also dismissed from political affairs.

At the same time, Zhang Xi, the servant of Tianguan, was the servant of Fengge, Du Jingjian, the minister of justice, was the servant of Qiuguan, and Zhou Yunyuan, the prime minister of Taichung, worshiped the prime minister together.

Of course, this round of adjustments is not the final result. It only depends on the original duties of the three prime ministers, whether they are selected, punished, or impeached. Scheduling and cleaning, the original intention should be to continue to pave the way for the Fengchan Grand Ceremony.

With such an adjustment, people in the current situation can't help feeling sad and happy.Some Shiliu who wanted to use this to pay homage to the prime minister were inevitably disappointed, but others were inevitably more motivated. Every adjustment of the court situation is a coexistence of danger and opportunity, and the final result depends on their own means. And good luck.

There may be mixed joys and sorrows in the dynasty, but the only thing left for the exiled is loneliness.

In mid-September, Li Zhaode was brought back to the capital of God, and Zhou Yunyuan, the prime minister of Youtaizhong, was in charge of receiving him, and he was not even allowed to go to the imperial city, but the relevant documents were delivered in Luozhou Tuiyuan.Other than that, almost no one in Shendu City showed up.

Although Li Zhaode is full of arrogance, he has also experienced ups and downs in the officialdom for many years, and has experienced similar changes in human relationships, so he doesn't feel too much about it.He also didn't stay in Shendu for too long, thinking that the holy will would turn around, and set off immediately after the delivery was completed, heading for Luonan.

The trip was not far for a day. On that day, a group of people stayed in a post house thirty miles away from the city, but they were only placed in the hall instead of entering the official hall.Li Zhaode's entourage was somewhat dissatisfied with this, and they were going to teach the postman a lesson, but Li Zhaode stopped them.

He knew that he had offended many people since worshiping the Prime Minister, but gave little favors, especially when he emptied Wei Wang Wu Chengsi from the court.

In particular, the Wangchengyi murder case set a bad precedent for the struggle between the government and the opposition. Before he left Heluo, his basic personal safety could not be guaranteed.

The accommodation provided by the posthouse is already quite simple, and the food is even rougher, making it difficult to swallow.The postmen may have been instructed to make things difficult for Li Zhaode, but they did not dare to humiliate the former prime minister too much, so they found an excuse to perfunctory: "The Suyue army will pass through the border, and the historical materials of the Kinki station must be kept in advance. It is not intentional to neglect Li Fujun."

"The king is going to return to the capital?"

When Li Zhaode heard this, his eyes flickered unavoidably, and he asked by opening his mouth.

The postman just used this as a perfunctory excuse to talk casually. He neither knew it in detail nor needed to explain it to Li Zhaode in detail. After hesitating a few times, he took his leave and left.

The simple meals were really hard to swallow, and Li Zhaode finally boarded the bed on an empty stomach.Tossing and turning that night, in addition to the rumbling stomach, there was also the cold night wind blowing against the broken windows and making crackling noises, which disturbed my dreams.

Through the crack of the broken window, Li Zhaode looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, and suddenly sighed: "It's a pity."

It's a pity that he didn't survive until the acting king returned to the capital. If the acting king happened to be in the capital when he was attacked by the courtiers, then he might not be able to be reduced to being relegated from far away.

Li Zhaode knew that he might not be able to join forces with the Dai Wang in the overall situation, but they could still echo each other in small areas, especially in terms of checking and balancing the Wu clan kings.Now that I have been relegated from the capital, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support the acting king in the current situation.

How the holy family and the political struggle are two concepts. If the acting king is just content to be a rich and idle king, no one can harm him based on the holy family he enjoys at the moment.But if Dai Wang wants to operate deeply in the current situation, the more he does, the greater the possibility of being attacked.

Liang Wang Wu Sansi has already paid homage to the prime minister. If the Dai Wang cannot guarantee enough influence in the political affairs hall, then he will be in an absolutely passive situation and can only defend and cannot counterattack.

Li Zhaode is a thorn in the side of the Wu clan kings, and now he is pushed out of the court by the courtiers, and the pressure on the acting king will only increase in the future.Although Prime Minister Yang Zaisi seems to have a relatively harmonious relationship with Dai Wang, Yang Zaisi does not have the courage to stand side by side with Dai Wang at all.

The current situation is extremely unfavorable to Dai Wang.If you want to maintain your influence in the current situation, you must have a seat in the political affairs hall, but if you want to obtain a seat in the political affairs hall, you will definitely have direct conflicts with the prime ministers in office.

With King Wu Sansi of Liang already entering the Political Affairs Hall first, and several prime ministers worrying about their positions, it would be almost impossible for Dai Wang to arrange someone close enough to him to enter the Political Affairs Hall, unless His Majesty the Holy Emperor intervened directly. He openly expressed his support for Dai Wang.

But based on Li Zhaode's understanding of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, this may be smaller than winning the position of prime minister on behalf of the king alone.

The Dai Wang is now in charge of the Bei Yamen, and his party members are deeply engaged in the water transportation matters related to the national economy. Under such circumstances, if His Majesty the Holy Emperor still tries to give the Dai Wang a chancellor seat, it will lose the balance The meaning and position of each party.

Doting too much on Dai Wang will bring more profound turmoil to the current situation, perhaps even worse than the dispute between Wei Wang and the emperor's heir.His Majesty the Holy Emperor will absolutely not, and there is no need to tie the stability and trend of the current situation with the acting king too deeply.

In terms of dealing with the kings of the Wu family, Li Zhaode can be said to be as prosperous as the Dai Wang.Now that he has been relegated, the acting king will surely face a blow in the near future.

Of course, Dai Wang's situation is much calmer than that of Li Zhaode.There are not many enemies of the acting king, as long as they avoid direct conflicts with the prime ministers in office, there is no need for the prime ministers to join the king of Liang in putting pressure on the acting king.

The second is that the acting king still has the holy family to rely on. Of course, the prerequisite for His Majesty the Holy Emperor to intervene is that the acting king must give up some of the current things.No matter how bad it is, he will not be reduced to Li Zhaode, who was demoted from a prime minister to a county magistrate.

Li Zhaode admired Dai Wang quite a lot in his heart, and he was also curious about what choice Dai Wang would make in the face of such a situation.If the subsequent development of the situation conforms to Li Zhaode's prediction, then he should be able to hear the news on the way.

After a night of poor sleep, Li Zhaode was unavoidably depressed in the early morning.Although the meals provided by the posthouse were still difficult to swallow, I still ate some to ensure that I had the strength to continue on the road.The time set by the imperial court for his demotion is very strict, and no delays on the way can be tolerated. Only by continuing to move forward can we ensure that we will not exceed the deadline.

If he went forward for a few more days, he had already traveled hundreds of miles away from Shendu.In the evening of this day, a group of people was hurrying to reach the next station before dark.

But suddenly a group of people appeared in Kusano in front of them, all of them had big arms and round waists, and their mounts were also tall and handsome.

Seeing the opponent gradually approaching, the attendants protected Li Zhaode among them, and Li Zhaode also grabbed the saber hanging on the side of the saddle, ready to draw it out at any time.

"Little citizen Su Sanyou, under the orders of the nobles in the capital, please ask Li Xianggong to suspend the trip and return to the capital with the others."

Su Sanyou, who led the team, was not surprised to see that the other party was so vigilant. Bandits and road tyrants emerged in endlessly these days.

"I have traveled a long way, and the king of Wei still refuses to forgive me! Come on, Li has a sword in his hand, which can kill evil in the world!"

After hearing the words, Li Zhaode drew out his sword and said in a concentrated voice.
