Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Mu Ziying didn't know how King Shun operated. In short, three days later, he received the imperial decree and appointed him as the general of Zhengxi, commanding the three armies of the Southwest. Such a weak soldier can be trained into a strong soldier of his own.

Both the government and the opposition are somewhat puzzled by this transfer order, but according to news, southern Xinjiang is about to move recently, uniting with the Qiang people to attack the territory of Dayan, although no definite news has been sent back to the capital, but the distance between the south and the north is too far, and it is difficult to travel , it would be too late to wait for the news to arrive.

However, the original Southwest Army had always been held by the leaders of the local tribes and had been outside the imperial power. The imperial court had long wanted to take over the Southwest Army. Mu Ziying was a person trusted by the emperor, so it made sense to send him to lead the Southwest Army.

But some people also thought that after Mu Ziying left Gyeonggi Camp, whose hands would this piece of fat fall into?

Mu Ziying was sitting in Zhao Shu's study at this time, talking about the same thing.

Zhao Shu walked back and forth anxiously in the study, with a worried look on his face, and asked repeatedly: "What's going on? Why are you transferred to the southwest all of a sudden?"

Of course Mu Ziying would not confess to Li Xu, he only said that he didn't know, and was surprised when he received the transfer order, but following the imperial decree, it cannot be changed, he came this time to bid farewell to everyone in the Zhao family.

"Master Zhao, don't you know why?"

Of course Zhao Shu didn't know, otherwise he would definitely stop it, the Southwest Army is so far away, if something happens and it's too late to come back, how can the Gyeonggi Battalion be so important?

"I don't know, this happened so suddenly, the emperor didn't reveal the news, and made a decision without discussing with the three lords and nine ministers. I'm afraid someone will be slandered." Zhao Shu set his target on Li Xu, and said bitterly Said: "It must be the ghost of King Shun. The generals have changed a lot recently, and it must have something to do with him."

"How can King Keshun let the emperor make this decision? The emperor has always been very cautious about military power." Otherwise, the Su family would not be in charge of Zuo Junhou.

"Forget it, this matter has been decided and can't be changed. Who do you think is the most suitable to take over your position?" Even if Mu Ziying left, this position must fall into their hands.

Mu Ziying's first reaction was Kou Xiao. In terms of ability, Kou Xiao is not inferior to him at all, and he is born with the temperament of a general. He is especially popular with soldiers. He has only been in the Gyeonggi camp for half a month, and many soldiers obey him. Now, with the assistance of Situ Yong, the Gyeonggi Camp will definitely become a monolith.

But this person must never be mentioned.

"Several lieutenants under me will go to the southwest with me, and the guards will also go with me, so there is really no one to recommend." Mu Ziying said indifferently with his eyes downcast.

He thought, if he was King Shun, he should promote Situ Yong this time. Hou was the most suitable superior, and encountered the least resistance, and he also knew that Situ Yong was close to King Shun.

Everyone knows that he is a member of the Zhao family, but since he took office, he has not done anything meaningful for the Zhao family. Of course, as Li Xu said, the Gyeonggi camp is either fine or a major event. Did not meet fortune teller.

Mu Ziying is sincerely grateful to King Shun for being able to escape from this circle of right and wrong.

"Okay, this matter is too sudden, I can't find a suitable candidate for a while, let's talk about it after entering the palace to discuss with my wife."

Of course Mu Ziying has no objection, he is leaving, who cares who will take his place?And if King Shun dared to do this, he must have someone behind him.

This is indeed the case. Within two days, the imperial decree to promote Situ Yong was issued, and it was still not discussed with anyone. It was very rare for the imperial decree to be issued directly before this.

Prime Minister Wei and a group of ministers were dumbfounded, and they all asked: "What's wrong with the emperor? Could it be that he has a problem with us?"

"Impossible. Recently, the court affairs have been peaceful, and no major incidents have occurred."

"It's not right, there are still, you forgot, the third prince is back." An old minister said meaningfully.

The ministers sitting here are all ministers who have not yet chosen their supporters. Of course, given their status, there is no need to make this decision. No matter who is in power, it is impossible to kill all of their veteran ministers who hold great power.

"The third prince... is still kneeling in the ancestral temple?"

"Today is the last day, and it's time to come out. Hey... the court is going to be uneasy again." To be honest, no one likes a chaotic court, because faction disputes are life-threatening at any time. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind Overwhelming the east wind, every day is trembling.

"Among the princes of Your Majesty, Prince Shun is naturally the best in terms of talent, but the bad thing is that his natal family has committed heinous crimes. It may be very difficult for the emperor to overcome this hurdle and make him the crown prince."

"Lord Zhuo, please be careful, we don't want to talk about the matter of the crown prince."

The Lord Zhuo frowned and retorted: "Why can't you say it? The crown prince is a major national event. In recent years, many people have asked the emperor to establish a crown prince early. If the crown prince has been appointed, there will not be so many disputes. Look at it." Well, the fact that these two princes are in court at the same time will definitely disturb everyone's peace."

Someone in the corner sighed softly and said: "Your Majesty's health is getting worse and worse, and now he is holding on to the court, there is no delay in the matter of the prince, and I have to make preparations for the performance. "

Prime Minister Wei looked at the crowd and said flatly: "The crown prince is a national matter, but it is not so easy to make this decision. Since the two princes have returned to the court, it is better to wait for a while."

"Now there are four adult princes. The eldest prince guards the northwest and holds a heavy army. The fourth prince seems to be ordinary, but it's not like there are no chances."

Someone mentioned the fourth prince, and everyone tried hard to recall the prince's appearance and temperament, but found that they knew too little. It was different from King Shun who was established as a prince since childhood, and King Zhenbei who was in charge of military power. The third prince with a powerful family is also different. The fourth prince has no advantages, and even his own talents are not outstanding. If he is not an adult, no one would think of him.

And the emperor seldom mentioned this fourth prince, as if he didn't have this son. Unless the first three princes were all dead, such a person would never be his turn.

Li Xu was also talking about this person to Kou Xiao at this time, "My fourth brother is a little too invisible. A person who is too low-key either really has no desires or desires, or deliberately hides his clumsiness. If it is the latter, such a The opponent is the scariest thing."

"But I haven't heard that anyone in the court supports the fourth prince. He can't do nothing, and good things happen to him, right?" Kou Xiao hasn't met this little uncle yet.

"The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. Seeing that the struggle between this king and the third prince is getting more intense, it is right not to show up at this time. When we both lose, it is his best time."

"Is the fourth prince such a person?"

How did Li Xu know that he is not familiar with him at all, okay? "By the way, he has left the palace to build a mansion. I haven't visited the capital for a long time. Why don't we visit the emperor's younger brother tomorrow?"

Kou Xiao smiled close to him and asked: "Then what identity will you go with? Is it the emperor's wife?"

"Hahaha... that's fine too, if you're not afraid of scaring others."

Kou Xiao has not been very cheerful since he came to the capital. Originally, he and Li Xu were a well-known couple in South Vietnam. They don’t have to worry about holding hands when they go out. But after they came to the capital, they couldn’t even be married. It came out that the two had to find an excuse to get together, and it was because everyone didn't think about it, otherwise their relationship wouldn't be hidden for long.

The next day, Li Xu took Kou Xiao to Prince Ying's Mansion, the location of Prince Ying's Mansion is not good, not to mention far from the palace, the mansion is not big, it is not like the Prince's mansion.

It is said that the emperor didn't even think about it when he was an adult. It was only after a minister reminded him that he remembered that he had a son who had grown up and could be sealed as a king and live alone.

But such an unfavored son was handed over to his courtiers from the title to the mansion, and the emperor never cared about it. You must know that King Zhenbei, King Shun, and King Qi were all conferred by the imperial pen in those days.

It is enough to see how low-key the King of England is.

Ever since Li Xu lived outside the palace, he never stopped in front of Prince Shun's Mansion, and there was an endless stream of people coming to see him every day, but the gate of Prince Ying's Mansion was quiet, not even a sparrow.

"This family... is too low-key." At this moment, Li Xu wanted to go back home. Can such a prince really become his opponent?

The concierge is an old eunuch who is so old that he is a little deaf. When he saw King Shun, he felt very familiar. He was stunned for a long time when he saw the name on the invitation card, "You..."

"This king has been in Beijing for a few days, but he has never met the Fourth Emperor Brother. Today, I want to come and recognize him in my spare time." Li Xu smiled gently.

The concierge only felt that this smile was really refreshing. King Shun was the elder brother, and it was logical that the King of England should come to visit him. He did not expect that he would condescend to come to visit an unfavored prince. It was so touching.

The concierge immediately opened the door and led the people in. Li Xu winked at Kou Xiao, feeling that his guess might be in vain.

Dare to bring guests in without passing the word. It can be seen that the British king really rarely entertains guests on weekdays. How can such a person form a party for personal gain and seek a great cause?

Li Xu secretly looked at this palace. The building is old. Although it has been refurbished, it can be seen that it has not been rebuilt too much. The scenery is withered, and the beautiful spring day does not even see a flower. It really does not look like a young man. The place.

Li Xu has been inquiring about the King of England with the old eunuch all the way, and learned that he married the main concubine the second year after he moved out, the daughter of Xu Fengchang in the court, and also took in two side concubines, who came from a humble background, less than one year old. Mention, and to this day none of the wives and concubines has conceived or given birth to a child. No wonder the emperor is anxious to have a grandson.

It was not far from the entrance to the hall. After they entered, a servant had already rushed to inform King Ying, so not long after, Li Xu saw a slender young man with a handsome face running out to meet him.

The fourth brother in his memory was still a young man, with a slender body and beautiful features. It is said that his appearance completely inherited his mother's appearance. Too flamboyant and less masculine.

"My brother welcomes the emperor." Li Huan was really frightened, he really didn't expect that Li Xu would suddenly visit his neglected palace, he thought it was something important, so he asked: "I don't know if there is something wrong with the emperor's visit? "

After Li Xu sized him up, he replied unhurriedly: "It's nothing, but I haven't seen you since I returned to Beijing, so I came to see you. They are all my brothers, so I should walk around more on weekdays."

Li Huan doesn't believe this. The royal brothers have been fighting since childhood. Although he doesn't fight, he will easily cause trouble if he shows up too many times, so he keeps a low profile and remains invisible all day long.

Li Xu's return to Beijing was a big event, of course he knew that he also gave congratulatory gifts for the housewarming, but he didn't go, otherwise someone might think that he wanted to cling to King Shun.

Li Xu saw that he was really timid, so he felt that his previous speculation was to judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and his words became more gentle and kind, "You have been weak since childhood, and I don't know how you have been these years. If you have any difficulties, remember to find Brother Huang."

The king's face turned red with emotion, and he said falteringly: "Thank you, brother, for your concern...my minister is very good, I have more than enough, and I don't lack anything."

He glanced at the man beside Li Xu a few more times, and asked tentatively, "Is this general the same as General Kou from South Vietnam?"

Kou Xiao had bowed to him before, but he didn't report his family name. Now he asked the question and answered naturally, "I'm the last general."

"This king has heard of General Kou's name a long time ago. I didn't expect to see a real person today. He is more handsome than I thought in menopause. He is really young and promising!" Li Huan's cheeks became redder with excitement. Beautiful, this demeanor is even more shy, it is naturally beautiful when used on a woman, but a grown man is a bit...

Li Xu secretly pinched Kou Xiao, this Li Huanmei is too much, Kou Xiao must be able to control a gay.

Kou Xiao was pinched for no reason, but it was not easy to ask, he bowed his hands to King Ying and said, "Thank you for your praise, the general will be ashamed."

When the three of them entered the reception hall and took their seats, Li Huan became a little cautious again. He didn't believe that Li Xu would come to visit him for no reason, and he only thought that he had a plan in his heart, but he couldn't see it through.

He has always been in awe of this imperial brother, after all, Li Xu is a prince since he was very young, and he is very dignified. Every time he sees Li Xu, he has to behave like a monarch and minister, and the other party has never paid much attention to him.

After many years, the other party suddenly came to care about him, offering courtesy to him for nothing, either adultery or robbery!

Li Xu didn't expect that his rash visit would leave a bad impression on Li Huan's heart. The person who has been ignored all the year round was suddenly paid attention to, and his mood was not very good.

Li Xu didn't have much to say to him, he just greeted his whole family dryly, cared about his daily life and hobbies, and then he didn't know how to continue.

"Speaking of which, I was supposed to bring your niece here today, but she was called into the palace by the emperor again, and I will bring her back another day. I haven't seen her for many years. You definitely don't know what she looks like." Li Xu really I didn't know what to say, thinking that children are always liked by everyone, so I said it naturally.

But Li Huan thought in his heart: So even King Shun's daughter is deeply favored by the emperor. If he also has a man and a half woman, maybe the father and the emperor will not even see each other once. This is a big difference.

At this moment, Li Huan only felt pain in his heart, and there was no harm if there was no comparison. Didn't King Shun come to see him on purpose to provoke him?

But he also knew that it was not necessary for King Shun. He would not have done this when he was the prince, and it is even more unnecessary now. But sometimes, showing off unconsciously is even more disgusting. But it was very unpleasant.

Kou Xiao has always been a bystander and does not participate in the conversation of their brothers. Occasionally seeing the change of King Ying's expression, he can guess a little bit of his inner activities.

He thought to himself: It is true that the King of England is not favored, and it is true that he is mediocre, but his state of mind may not be as indifferent and peaceful as he shows.
