In the 18th year of Jingxing, the country of Daning was rich and the people were rich, the soldiers were strong and the horses were strong. Xiao Ji was full of ambition and decided to use troops against the Western Regions, break Dihu's control over the Western Regions, open up the Silk Road, rebuild the Anxi Dadu Protectorate, and restore the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty over the Western Regions.
However, Xiao Ji's move was strongly opposed by Wang's father and son. At the same time, they set off a wave of opposition in the court and in the local area, opposing the imperial court's military arrogance. The Western Regions will encircle Liangzhou from east to west, which is not conducive to Wang Cheng's continued support of troops in Liangzhou, so naturally he strongly opposes the imperial court's use of troops against the Western Regions.
In the end, due to the pressure from the court and the local government, and considering that once Liangzhou did not support the imperial court sending troops to the Western Regions or even did something bad behind the scenes, it was very likely that the army would go deep alone, with insufficient food and grass, and there was a risk of the entire army being wiped out. Had to give up sending troops to the Western Regions, and missed a great opportunity to restore rule over the Western Regions.
Because of this incident, Xiao Ji hated the Wang family father and son deeply, and even believed that the Wang family was more harmful than Di Hu, so he spared no effort to suppress the Wang family, always wanting to get rid of it quickly.
"Since you know about Jingxing's 18th year, why do you still want to send troops to the Western Regions again?" Xiao Ji looked at Xiao Huang with some doubts in his eyes.
Xiao Huang smiled slightly: "Because the situation is different now, has Father ever thought that if I lead the troops to send troops to the Western Regions, would my father-in-law, the Great Commander-in-law, still strongly oppose it?"
Xiao Ji couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, then he seemed to feel that what Xiao Huang said was indeed somewhat reasonable, Xiao Huang is Wang Cheng's son-in-law, if Xiao Huang can sweep the Western Regions, it will obviously be of great benefit to whether he can win the Eastern Palace in the end. Not only might Wang Cheng not object, but he might even strongly support Xiao Huang's use of troops in the Western Regions.Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Wang Cheng does not support Xiao Huang's sending troops to the Western Regions, he will never play tricks behind his back, otherwise once Xiao Huang dies in the Western Regions, his daughter will be a widow for the rest of her life.
Xiao Ji pondered again and again, the ambition in his heart seemed to be ignited again, he looked at Xiao Huang, and asked in a deep voice: "If I send you to send troops to the Western Regions, how many soldiers and horses do you need from the court?"
Xiao Huang shook his head again: "Father, I don't need the imperial court to allocate a single soldier for me."
Xiao Ji was taken aback, puzzled and said: "What did you say? If the imperial court doesn't allocate troops and horses for you, what are you going to use to attack the Western Regions?"
Xiao Huang stared closely at Xiao Ji's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Father, do you think that compared to foreign enemies, my father-in-law Wang Dadu is the most serious threat to the court?"
Xiao Ji couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, then his face darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is that the reason why I insist on going to the Western Regions is that I want to expand the territory of Daning for me, and I hope that I can cut off my father-in-law's serious troubles for my father."
Xiao Huang's tone was very calm, but his words were like a bolt from the blue.
Xiao Ji looked at his son in a daze, his eyes were very complicated, he understood what Xiao Huang meant, that he planned to take advantage of his status as Wang Cheng's son-in-law, take advantage of his opportunity to go to the Western Regions, divide up Wang Cheng's troops, and then step by step seize him. Take away the military power in Wang Cheng's hands.
He admits that he does not want to deal with the Wang family all the time, now that Wang Chong has lost his status, and his power in the court is not as good as before, as long as he finds a way to take back Wang Cheng's military power, the Wang family will never recover.
But anyone can deal with Wang Cheng, except for his own son Xiao Huang, he is Wang Cheng's son-in-law, no matter what his purpose is, once he takes action against Wang Cheng, he will be blamed by others and will be criticized for the rest of his life .
More importantly, Xiao Huang is his own son. He knows that Xiao Huang wants to deal with Wang Cheng to help himself, and also to prove that he is capable enough to be the crown prince of Daning, but Xiao Ji does not want his son to become unscrupulous and cold-blooded for this. ruthless.
"Have you ever thought, no matter what, Wang Cheng is your father-in-law and your wife's father, how could you be so cruel to deal with him?"
Xiao Ji was expressionless, looked at Xiao Huang coldly, and asked coldly.
"But the minister is first and foremost the son of the father and the descendants of the Xiao family. The most important thing to do is to protect the country and the country of Daning."
Xiao Huang met Xiao Ji's cold gaze without any fear, and his tone was generous and decisive.
Xiao Ji didn't speak, and stared at Xiao Huang's eyes with a pair of sharp eyes, as if he wanted to read something from Xiao Huang's eyes.
The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven, Xiao Huang felt a strong sense of oppression coming towards his face, but Xiao Huang didn't dodge his gaze, and bravely met Xiao Ji's sharp gaze.
Xiao Ji looked at Xiao Huang's eyes, but he was in a trance for a moment. He recalled that when he asked Xiao Jie the same question in the Imperial Garden a year ago, Xiao Jie responded to him almost in the same way.
For a moment, a trace of emotion welled up in his heart, whether it was the grandson of the Wang family or the son-in-law of the Wang family, after all, his own blood flowed in his body, and he always kept in mind that he was a descendant of the Xiao family, and it was his duty to safeguard the foundation of the ancestors.
"Are you trying to deal with the Wang family and Wang Cheng because Wang Chong decided to abandon you to support Xun'er?"
Undoubtedly, Xiao Ji threw out a proposition.
Xiao Huang's expression remained the same, he shook his head and said: "Reporting to Emperor Father, it's not that the Wang family gave up on the sons, but the sons gave up on the Wang family."
Xiao Ji was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, but soon returned to normal, and said in a deep voice, "Why is that?"
"I have always seen that the Wang family is endangering our Daning country and society, and I have tried to persuade Wang Xiangguo, but he still ignores it. I have no choice but to draw a clear line with the Wang family." Xiao Huang seemed a little helpless, The tone is very firm.
Xiao Ji's gaze became sharp again, and he stared at Xiao Jie's face coldly: "But you are married to the daughter of the Wang family, and the Wang family has given you a lot of help over the years, even your current residence is a gift from the Wang family. How did you have the heart to turn to deal with the Wang family?"
Xiao Huang let out a long sigh, with a painful look on his face: "Royal father, on the contrary, my son decided to deal with the Wang family because he couldn't bear it."
Xiao Ji was slightly taken aback again: "Why do you say that?"
Xiao Huang didn't speak, but kowtowed several times to Xiao Ji again, his tone full of sincerity: "This is what I want to say to my father, even though the Wang family treats my father and Daning in every possible way, but they are after all Yu'er's natal family is also Yu'er's closest relative. I don't want Yu'er to live in pain for the rest of her life, so I beg my father to put them under house arrest if the royal family is brought down in the future, but it's not a last resort. Take their lives at will."
Xiao Ji hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "I promise you, unless Wang Chong and his son openly plot rebellion, I will spare them from death."
Xiao Huang kowtowed again: "On behalf of the Wang family and Yu'er, I would like to thank my father for your kindness."
Xiao Ji nodded slightly, feeling quite relieved in his heart that his son was affectionate after all and knew how to advance and retreat.
"I will make a decree in a few days to appoint you as deputy governor of Liangzhou. As for the rest, I can only rely on you."
Xiao Huang was overjoyed in his heart, but his expression remained calm, he just kowtowed to thank him and said: "I have thanked Father for your kindness, but I still have one more request."
Xiao Ji nodded slightly: "Say it."
Xiao Huang seemed to hesitate for a moment, but he still summoned up his courage and said: "Father, can I take Yu'er to Liangzhou to take up my post, she is also pregnant now, I believe my father-in-law would really like to see her and her unborn grandson. "
Xiao Ji understood Xiao Huang's meaning, Wang Cheng might not sell face to his son-in-law, but he would definitely give face to his daughter.
Although this is not in line with the practice of protons in the court, fortunately, the deputy governor is not considered a border general, nor is it considered a violation of court rules.
"I can promise you this matter." Xiao Ji nodded, but then changed the topic and said with a smile: "Last time I gave names to the two children of Yu'er, and you are also my son, so I will not favor one over the other. If the concubine gives birth to a boy, she will be called Xiao Jing, and if it is a daughter, she will be called Xiao Han. If you can really regain the Western Regions and rebuild the Anxi Dadu Protectorate, I will also give your children the title of king and princess."
Xiao Huang was overjoyed, kowtowed and said: "My son, thank you father for giving me your name."
But no one noticed that there was a sneer inadvertently on the face of Xiao Huang who lowered his head.
As Fu Bo said, the "nine sons seizing the throne" is becoming more and more serious nowadays. If you continue to stay in Luoyang and attack each other, you will only arouse the resentment of the father. And the officials to see their true skills.
Since Xiao Jie can swim like a fish in water in Jiaozhou, he must be able to swim in the sea in Liangzhou.
One day he will prove to the world that he, Xiao Huang, is more qualified to inherit the land of Daning than Xiao Jie!
However, Xiao Ji's move was strongly opposed by Wang's father and son. At the same time, they set off a wave of opposition in the court and in the local area, opposing the imperial court's military arrogance.
