General, please be a loyal minister!

Right now, Liangzhou is very desolate, with few pedestrians and few merchants.

In order to get rid of the internal thieves, Liangzhou can be said to be hurting.

Xiangyang and Shangyong failed to defend, and Yizhou was lost. Even Liangzhou City lost many people because of the change of rights.

The aristocratic family has not moved yet, no, it should be said that there is no movement from them. They insist that Liu Xuan will not be able to persevere without their support, so they are waiting for Liu Xuan to beg them.

House seemingly endless rain.

At this time, Tong Rong also sent someone to ask for the supplies and food that Jing Xiu had promised earlier.

Liu Xuan sat in the hall with a tired face and listened to the arguments of the courtiers.

Some people did not support the giving of food and grass to Tong Rong, and strongly opposed Liu Xuan: "Young master! If they want to give Liangzhou half a year's tax revenue to Bingzhou, what do we have to raise soldiers? How can we resist Dou Xiao if we don't raise soldiers? "

It's funny to say that it's Liangzhou's tax that he pays, but he looks anxious to take money out of his pocket.

"This statement is wrong." Fortunately, at this time, a person stood up to veto that person's words, so Liu Xuancai didn't have to go down to refute the minister's suggestion in person.

The speaker was Xu Chi, with a square and gentle appearance.He was a student who came to Bingzhou two years ago to study abroad. Seeing his extraordinary knowledge, Jing Xiu tried his best to keep him and work as a doctor in Liangzhou.

This person was also recommended by Jing Xiu to Liu Xuan in his suicide note to succeed him.

There is also Liangzhou's next major policy of "Uniting and Bingzhou, and the Imperial and Puppet Dynasty", as well as some other important things that were mentioned in Jingxiu's suicide note.

——At the end, Mr. Jing was also worried about him and Liangzhou.

Xu Chi explained his point of view: "This account was settled too late, and the amount of money Bingzhou asked for was within a reasonable range, and we did not take advantage of the fire to rob. But instead of rejecting Bingzhou's request, we have to take the initiative to show favor , Sign a long-term alliance with Bingzhou. This will not only reduce the war in Liangzhou, but also help to resist the puppet dynasty. If you offend Bingzhou for some money now, next year Bingzhou and the puppet dynasty will attack together, who will respond to the enemy then?"

When Xu Chi said this, he looked mockingly at the person who raised the objection just now: "Are you using your own pen to deal with the enemy?"

The man's face was flushed red by Xu Chi's irony, but Liu Xuan couldn't help laughing at his embarrassment from the bottom of his heart.

This is not kind, but after Zhao Ji and Jing Xiu had accidents one after another, Liu Xuan also found himself becoming mean.

When Dongliang was around, some people always felt that Dongliang was blocking their way, stumbling everywhere, and when Dongliang was gone, they really supported them, would they have the ability to support them?

Liu Xuan has long been tired of seeing him yelling here every day instead of weighing his own weight.

Although he felt that these people were unreasonable, Liu Xuan still wanted to stop the war of words. He made a flat decision: "Liangzhou and Bingzhou had an appointment first, and this matter should not be changed because of Mr. Jing's passing. Leave it to Doctor Xu to handle it, and you all should leave."

All the ministers retreated, and Xu Chi was blocked by Xu Chi's minister at the door, mocking him: "I don't know how much Bingzhou has benefited Dr. Xu, and made Dr. Xu consider their interests so much."

Xu Chi replied calmly: "The only thing Chi has ever received is the young master's salary, and the only thing he has considered is the young master's worries. Eat the king's salary, share the king's worries, Liangzhou is the young master's Liangzhou, and it is the common people. In Liangzhou, I don’t follow any family’s surname.”

He was contradicted by Xu Chi again, this person's face was very exciting, he was not as good as Xu Chi when it came to political affairs, he couldn't beat Xu Chi in a verbal battle, and he didn't dare to do anything in the young master's mansion, so he could only blow his nose and stare in anger, and walked away .

Liu Xuan was unaware of the brief dispute outside the hall, and as soon as the ministers left, he went back to the house to rest with the help of his attendants.

His health has not improved, and it is the limit to hold on without falling during the discussion.

But even if he went back to his room, he couldn't stop thinking about it.

Xu Chi was very low-key when Jing Xiu was here, he kept his head down and never argued with others, so Liu Xuan didn't have a deep impression of him, but today he was uncharacteristically showing his sharpness.

Liu Xuan recalled what Jing Xiu had said to him: "Young master, the things that offend others should be left to the subordinates, the power field is high and the waves are turbulent, at least you should act impartially on the surface, so that people's hearts will be stable."

At that time, he had just taken over the real power in Liangzhou, and he was very angry when he saw the Song family's attitude of wanting to be Zhou Yuan's second. Became a thorn in the side of the family.

What Xu Chi did today was very similar to what Jing Xiu did in the past.Was it because Mr. Jing entrusted Xu Chi before his death that he stood up so tacitly when Liangzhou was in turmoil?

Thinking about the past, Liu Xuan couldn't help his mood swings again, and began to cough violently.

Seeing this, the attendant on the side panicked and stepped forward to care about Liu Xuan: "Young Master! Your condition has relapsed again? This servant is going to invite the doctor."

Liu Xuan hurriedly pulled him back: "It's okay, don't call someone! Don't call someone..."

Later in the night, Yu Wenxun, who was waiting for Liu Xuan, arrived.At that time Liu Xuan was sitting in front of the window, the window was wide open, Yu Wenxun stepped forward to close the window, Liu Xuan stopped him.

Liu Xuan asked Yu Wenxun: "Have you got any news about Mr. Han?"

Yu Wenxun shook his head.

The last time Han Zhao had any news was when he contacted Jing Xiu, and then he went to Jingzhou and never sent back any news.

Liu Xuan was a little disappointed, he sighed in a low voice: "Well, if Mr. Han wants to find Zhao Ji, don't rush him too hard."

Yu Wenxun comforted: "Young master, don't worry, Han Zhao and Zhao Ji will return together soon."

Liu Xuan: "I hope so."

Next, Yu Wenxun took a long time to report to Liu Xuan the defenses he had made around Liangzhou in the past few days.

Liu Xuan nodded after listening: "Thank you. How did the Song family react when they saw the corpses of Song Cong and Song Shi?"

"The female relatives cried into a ball, but their parents still knew the seriousness. They said that Song Cong and Song Shi colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. He was not worthy of being the Song family, and he was not worthy of entering the Song family grave. They were carried to mass graves and buried indiscriminately. They He also said that it is a great kindness for the young master to forgive the Song family, and all of them will remember it in their hearts."

Liu Xuan's expression was gloomy, and he sighed faintly: "It's hard to say whether it is kindness or hatred that is remembered."

Yu Wenxun, like Liu Xuan, was in a wait-and-see attitude towards the Song family's attitude, and did not respond at the moment.

The plum blossom outside the window was in bloom, and a faint fragrance wafted in. Liu Xuan opened the window to see this plum blossom. He looked out the window and sighed: "I think back then, when Gu met Mr. Jing, it was also the season when the plum blossom was in full bloom."

"When Gu asked Mr. Jing to assist Gu, Mr. Jing said something to Gu. Does General Yuwen know what it is?"

Yu Wenxun knew that what Liu Xuan wanted was to talk at this time, so he just shook his head, without responding, and quietly let Liu Xuan continue.

"Mr. Jing reminded Gu with a serious face, and said: Young master, you are walking a lonely road. If you choose, there is no way out. Xiu still has the right to choose, and other people also have the right to choose, but you will not Again. Have you really decided?"

"At the time, Gu only thought that what Mr. Jing said was that people were in power and couldn't help themselves. I agreed with everything, but now I know that I was wrong."

This Yu Wenxun didn't know the answer to the riddle, so he just listened to Liu Xuan in silence.

"The kingly way, the way of a single husband. Every step has to be paved with the flesh and blood of others. Sometimes it may be the lives of people who have nothing to do with you; gradually you will add people you care about, people you love, and in the end, even cut out own flesh."

If it wasn't for rights, Zhao Ji wouldn't have had an accident; if it wasn't for rights, Jing Xiu wouldn't have died; if it wasn't for rights, those who died during the several regime changes in Liangzhou over the years would be fine...

Liu Xuan clenched his robe tightly, his knuckles turning white: "After losing so much, people will no longer allow themselves to fail, not just for power and position, but also to have an account for the souls of the dead. In this way At least in the end, it can be said: Your lord has sat on the supreme position of the world, your sacrifice was not in vain, and you will live forever."

"That's called no retreat."

"Now I see clearly that the essence of rights is a bottomless pit filled with bones, but I can't and don't want to turn back."

Jing Xiu was also plotting for him since his death, as well as the soldiers who died on the battlefield these years, how could he let down these loyal courtiers?However, he gritted his teeth and insisted that there were only four words when he said it, and he knew the hard work when he did it.

Liu Xuan didn't go to see Yu Wenxun, he was afraid of seeing the disappointed look in Yu Wenxun's eyes, because Yu Wenxun was also using his wealth and life to win the world for him.

He couldn't say these words to Zhou Wan, he couldn't say them to other courtiers, and it was inappropriate to say them to Yu Wenxun, but he couldn't hold on anymore.

Liu Xuan smiled wryly at himself: "Mr. Han and Mr. Jing are both right. A person like Gu can't make it to the end."

Compassion does not command soldiers, righteousness does not run business, benevolence does not govern... Without a heart of stone, you dare to fight for the world!It really deserves it.

Liu Xuan's mood fluctuated, and finally he couldn't control it, and coughed violently. Yu Wenxun hurriedly stepped forward to support him and relieve him.

Is Yu Wenxun disappointed?

No.

In other words, Liu Xuan's courage after Jing Xiu's death has far exceeded Yu Wenxun's expectations.

In the past, Jing Xiu stood in front of the stage to handle many things, while Liu Xuan was a veteran at peacemaking and reconciling conflicts. Therefore, Liu Xuan left the impression in most Chengzi's minds that he was benevolent and indecisive.

But during this period of time, Liu Xuan has fully proved his personal ability, and Yu Wenxun also believes that he can support Liangzhou without Jing Xiu.

He only hoped that Liu Xuan could hold on, if Liu Xuan fell, the sky in Liangzhou would also collapse.

After coughing for a long time, Liu Xuan came back to his senses. He held Yu Wenxun's hand: "Gu is better. General Yuwen has worked hard these days. Go back tonight and be with your wife. You don't have to stay with Gu."

Yu Wenxun was worried about Liu Xuan, but Liu Xuan insisted on letting him go back, so he had to resign.

When leaving, the attendant brought the soup and medicine, Yu Wenxun looked back when he walked into the yard, the window was still open, Liu Xuan was sitting in front of the window drinking the medicine, the thin figure of the young man looked very desolate under the dim light .

……

It took Han Zhao of Jingzhou three days to give the reply to Gong Liangyin. He tried to contact Liu Ci in the past two days, but he did not get any reply.

When they met again in the garden, Gong Liangyin was still calm and confident, which made Han Zhao feel annoyed at the first sight.

Gong Liangyin: "How? Have you thought about it, Your Excellency?"

Having already made a decision, Han Zhao replied decisively: "I promise you. Not only do I promise you, but I will also help you take down Changnan City within half a month. But I also have a request..."

"Oh?" Gong Liangyin raised his eyebrows curiously, "Please tell me."

Han Zhao: "I want you to give the credit to Zhao Ji."

He can't let Zhao Ji return to Liu Ci as a prisoner. If Zhao Ji has the credit for capturing Changnan, Liu Ci will at least give him a place in his own power group, so that Zhao Ji will have the initial qualifications .

For a long time to come, Han Zhao could not be by Zhao Ji's side, which was one of the few things he could do for Zhao Ji.

Compared with Jing Xiu and Liu Xuan, he is really not a good master.

Loneliness, arrogance, and arrogance, and now he "sends" Zhao Ji to someone else without authorization, maybe that kid will no longer want to recognize him as a master when we meet next time.

It doesn't matter if you don't want to admit it, just settle what is due to him.

Han Zhao was bitter in his heart, thinking about what to say in anger, but the expression on his face was as calm as if frozen.

Zhao Ji made meritorious deeds for Gongliang Yin, and he raised the corners of his mouth, and readily agreed to Han Zhao's request: "If your Excellency can do it, Yin will be very happy."

The author has something to say: the cousin drew the key point.
