Hidden Blade Chapter 13: The Python and the Dragon
Before the arrival of Emperor Taiyuan, there was a person unexpectedly welcomed in Weiyang Palace.
The Ning Guohou, Ye Chengtai, who never went to court for a few years!
His arrival made Xu Han stunned for a moment, but the hundreds of civil and military officials in Weiyang Palace were only slightly surprised, and stopped paying attention to them. In the end, Ye Chengtai was just an old minister who had lost his power. His role in this dispute could be described as minimal. Apart from being surprised, he didn't bring much touch with everyone present.
Then the Taiyuan Emperor finally boarded the dragon chair with his dim sleepy eyes under the call of the people.
Everyone knelt down almost at the same time, shouting: "Long live my emperor."
After all, this is just a cutscene, long live? Even the fairy from the Taiyin Palace couldn't survive the sixth catastrophe. He couldn't do it at Qianshui, so how about long live? But in the civil and military dynasties, there was one person who did it with sincerity and sincerity.
It was the one who wished the first seat. At this moment, he was throwing his five bodies on the ground and his voice was high-pitched.
Xu Han had the previous experience, but it was not surprising that he did not go to see that Zhu Xian again, instead he peeped at the Tai Yuan Emperor. As expected, the Taiyuan Emperor was the man he had met in Yanlai City. When he was sent to Dahuang City before, the **** in charge of conveying the imperial edict in the palace secretly handed Xu Han a dragon scale. , This is the Emperor Tai Yuan conveying certain messages to him, and I affirmed his guess when I saw it today. However, unlike the introverted aura seen in Yanlai City, the Taiyuan Emperor at this moment was lazy, even a little sleepy.
"There is something to tell, nothing to leave the court." At this time, Emperor Tai Yuan, the **** next to Yu Wenluo, made a shrill sound, and the court was silent for a while, seeming to be waiting for something.
After a few breaths, an old man in the crowd bowed and stepped out, but it was the prime minister of Zhou, Master Zhang Xiang.
He arched his hands, lied down, and said in his somewhat old voice: "My Majesty, the ministers have something to play."
"What's the matter?" Yu Wenluo frowned, seemingly unhappy.
"In the battle of Dahuang City, the palace lord of Tiance Mansion, the Grand Lieutenant Xu Han of Dazhou, guarded Dahuang City, repelled the 500,000 army of Xia Dynasty and Cui Ting, and recovered Jizhou's lost land. Today, I will return to the face of the saint. Please also Your Majesty observes." Zhang Xiang hooked his head very low, almost parallel to the marble floor of Weiyang Palace, and the old state in his voice couldn't be hidden.
"Huh?" Yuwenluo's sleepy eyes seemed a little awake upon hearing this. He raised his head, his eyes swept across the audience, and finally fell on Xu Han. "Are you Xu Han?"
When Xu Han heard this, he hurried forward and replied: "Weichen has seen your Majesty."
"Well, young and promising, not bad." Yu Wenluo nodded in satisfaction, but still looked up and down Xu Han, seemingly wary.
"Aiqing seems to be young." Then, he asked seemingly indifferent.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is eighteen this year." Although Xu Han was puzzled in his heart, he still didn't conceal it. But what he hadn't seen was that when he answered this question, Zhu Xian, who was in front of the crowd, changed his face slightly, but the discoloration was fleeting.
After receiving this answer, Yu Wenluo looked sideways at the **** beside him, but the other party shook his head without showing a trace.
"Okay! The hero is a young man, I really deserve to be the pillar of my great Zhou, I deserve a reward!" Yu Wenluo suddenly patted the counter in front of him at that time, saying so loudly. The faint vigilance in his eyes suddenly disappeared at that time, turning into a deep appreciation.
"My Majesty, I have something to play." But at this moment, Zhang Dongning, who was standing next to Zhu Xian, stepped out suddenly, walked to the hall, and stood side by side with his uncle Zhang Xiang .
The interrupted Yuwenluo's face was unhappy, he looked at Zhang Dongning and frowned.
"Aiqing has something to talk about later, Xu Aiqing helped me regain lost ground during the Great Week, is..."
"It is Xu Han's fornication of Da Zhou's infringement and the remnants of the Mu family to Mu Qingshan." "The matter that your Majesty's minister wants to play is the matter of Xu Han's infringement of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His Majesty's words spoke loudly.
When these words were spoken, Chaotang was in an uproar, but they did not expect that the opening of Chaotang this morning would be such a hot scene.
You need to know that this crime of fornication and traitor is enough to slash at the door. With such a big hat on Xu Han's head, what Zhu Xian wants to kill Xu Han with a hammer? When everyone thought of this, they all looked sideways at the Zhu First Seat, but Zhu Xian was an honest face, standing on the side of the Weiyang Hall with his eyes, nose, nose and heart. It seemed that everything that happened before his eyes was incompatible with He doesn't have a half-hearted relationship.
After such an uproar, the people in the temple quieted down unanimously, turning their eyes to look at Xu Han, they were curious, facing the pressing of Chang Yesi, this young man from Tiance Mansion Lord, what will you do.
"Zhang Yushi said that he was committing a criminal offense?" And Xu Han probably did not disappoint everyone. After a brief silence, he stepped out, walked to the center of the hall, and stood in opposition to Zhang Dongning.
On the high platform, Yu Wenluo seemed to see Xu Han's confidence, he put away the meaning of interrupting, but instead looked at the two people in the field with great interest, seeming to enjoy the scene very much.
"Yes." Zhang Dongning was a little bit surprised by Xu Han's shocked appearance, but after all he had been in officialdom for many years, how could he be bluffed by a young man like Xu Han, right now? Seeing Xu Han's gaze, he replied with a deep voice.
"Who is the counter offender?" Xu Han asked.
"The son of King Mu, Qingshan Mu."
"Where is he?"
"Jizhou Jianlong Pass."
"Okay, then please ask Master Yushi to arrest him and bring him to justice, and confront me." Xu Han replied calmly.
When these words were spoken, Master Zhang's expression changed, "Xu Han! This is the Great Zhou Palace, not the place where you are playing rogues. Mu Qingshan is now holding 50,000 shepherd elites in Jizhou and has a big eye. Who would dare to arrest him and bring him to justice?"
Zhang Dongning's words are righteous and awe-inspiring.
It's just that Xu Han smiled faintly when facing Zhang Dongning who looked like this, and then his face became straight.
"Zhang Yushi said that he was playing a rogue. Then, at that time, the Dahuang City was destroyed, the Canglong army was killed in battle, and the 50,000 Mujia army was attached to the Muqing Mountain. If he could not comfort him when he returned, would he have to fight? To arrest the rebel in the name of bringing him to justice? Then force him and the 50,000 elites under Li Yulin's command, and put my Da Zhou under the iron hoof of the Xia Dynasty again? Zhang Yushi meant this? "Xu Han asked back, his eyes suddenly narrowed at that time, "Zhang Yushi is a minister of the court, I don't believe you can't even understand this point, or that Zhang Yushi has long thought about it, but Have other plots?"
Xu Han's remarks were almost ashamed, and Zhang Dongning's expression changed, and he was about to say something.
But Xu Han obviously didn't want to give him another opportunity to speak. He turned his body and arched his hands towards Yu Wenluo at that time, and said loudly.
"The minister thought that although Da Zhou is now relying on His Majesty’s majesty and prosperity, but after all, there is Xia Chao, and all the vassal princes in the interior are supporting their own soldiers. There is a way to be prepared for danger in peace and security. , To pardon Mu Qingshan’s crimes, appease him, and make him feel at ease to guard Jianlongguan for the Great Zhou. This move can solve foreign troubles and deter all vassals!"
"This!" Zhang Dongning's face changed when he heard the words, and he wanted to move forward, but Zhu Xian beside him suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed it. Zhang Dongning was stunned. At the bottom of my heart, I was a little confused as to what Zhu Xian's move meant, but after all he did not dare to disobey, so he could only retreat silently.
This attitude fell in the eyes of Yuwenluo on the high platform. He narrowed his eyes, and then smiled: "Well, what Aiqing said is very true, just according to Aiqing's words..."
......
Although there were some twists and turns in this early morning, it was actually surprisingly smooth.
Chang Yesi sent out Zhang Dongning to stop him, but there was no movement. Xu Han was able to get a name for Mu Qingshan smoothly according to the plan. This seems to be a false name, but in fact it is quite different from before. At least with the order of the imperial court, he is the new king of Northern Xinjiang in the true sense of Dazhou. He can recruit soldiers and horses and raise an army instead of the previous one. Be fearful of the head and tail.
Although Xu Han was puzzled by Zhuxian’s strange attitude, after all, everything went well. He was relieved and took this step. It was extremely important for Tiance Mansion to gain a foothold in Chang'an. After all, he had 50,000 yuan. With the support of Mujia's elite, Tiance Mansion is at least no longer rootless duckweed, but also has a little right to speak.
With such a good mood, Xu Han, Mr. Lu and Ye Chengtai came out of Putian Palace, and they happened to return to Tiance Mansion, only to see the Prime Minister standing there early at the intersection~ IndoMTL.com~ Look. The appearance seems to be waiting for them.
Xu Han was taken aback, but Mr. Lu next to him nodded at him. He knew it, so he wanted to see if the Prime Minister was a friend or an enemy, so he walked up alone.
"Xu Han has seen the Prime Minister." He bowed his hand towards the other party respectfully.
In the early morning of September, the weather in Chang'an was gloomy and cold. An old man over sixty years old was wearing thin clothes. When he saw him coming, he smiled slightly: "Xu Taiwei is so smart, and the master has found a good heir. Comfort."
"The prime minister is too acclaimed, but I don't know what the prime minister is waiting here, what is the so-called?"
Xu Han respectfully returned the courtesy, but didn't mean too much to lie to him. Instead, he asked straightforwardly.
The old prime minister was never angry about Xu Han's attitude, he smiled, "Lao Xu just asked Palace Master Xu a piece of advice?"
"Huh? What advice?"
"In the woods of the woods, the wolf howls can crush the tigers; in the muddy ponds, the dragons can be mixed with dragon species."
"So under the tigers and wolves, among the dragons and snakes, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false."
"Palace Master Xu has to be more careful."
After Zhang Xiang said this, he handed something from his cuff.
Xu Han was taken aback, and subconsciously closed it, but it was a memorial. He opened it, but saw that it was written in neat handwriting:
The gate of Tiance Mansion is protected by the dragon, and the blue is close to the red, and the dragon has the appearance.
Zong Zhengyu Wencheng submitted.
After reading the handwriting, Xu Han's heart trembled, as if thinking of something, he was about to raise his hair to ask, but saw that the prime minister had already staggered into the market that was gradually becoming lively in Chang'an early in the morning.
His body is thin, even a little rickety, but his steps are extremely calm and heavy, and he doesn't seem to be like an old man who is over 60 years old.
