Zhi Xuan

Back in the mansion, Shi Ziba locked himself in the study and sat alone for a long time in a daze.

Regarding the assassination of Zhixuan, he admitted that he lacked consideration.But things have happened, there is no room for repentance, no matter what the consequences are, he must accept them.

It's just that he never expected that before Zhi Xuan's revenge came, the Marquis of Dongliang sent him to a dead end first.

"My lord, father, father, my lord!"

Shi Ziba repeated the four words with a dazed expression, and the next moment he started laughing louder and louder, like a maniac.

The sun was setting and the room was dimly lit. The maidservant stood outside the door with a bronze lamp in her hand, looking at the servants on the opposite side, all trembling and afraid to enter.The waiter plucked up the courage to speak out, but when he heard the laughter coming from the room, his courage seemed to be pierced by a needle, and he disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The two older waiters looked at me and at you, but they didn't have the courage to speak.In the end, he could only continue to guard the door, pretending to be dumb with everyone.

After an unknown amount of time, Shi Ziba finally stopped laughing.

"Come on!"

The servant and maid shuddered at the same time, but they didn't dare to respond.A servant bowed and walked into the room, waiting for Shi Ziba's order.

"Hold the lamp."

"promise."

The maids filed in, placed the bronze lamps, and lit the wicks.

The darkness was quickly dispelled, and the study room became bright.

Shi Ziba sat behind the table, propping his head with one hand, and the hair crown fell to the ground.With a smile on his face, his eyes are narrowed, and his gaze is frightening.

The waiters didn't dare to raise their heads, they all lowered their waists and held back their hands.The servant girl was even more cautious and cautious in her actions, not daring to make a sound, lest she did something wrong and arouse Shi Ziba's anger.

"Go down."

Shi Ziba spoke, the servants and maidservants hurriedly left the study as if they heard the sound of a fairy.Closing the door of the house and turning their backs to the door, everyone couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, as if they had escaped a catastrophe.

In the study, Shi Ziba recalled the day's events, mixed with fear and hatred, and finally turned into a sneer.

"Father, Ba is stupid, but he doesn't want to die."

In Dong Lianghou's eyes, he is useless as a prince, not even the slightest bit of his own demeanor back then.

Shi Ziba just wanted to sneer.

How about Edong Lianghou's temperament, if he really behaved outstandingly in everything, he would be able to live a good life and be closer to father and son?

What a joke!

His dead brother is talentless?

It happens to be too good!

He clearly remembered his brother's crime: murdering the prince.

Before execution, Shi Ziba went to see Gong Ziyang.The two are brothers from the same mother, and they have been closer than others since childhood.

Before the incident, Gongzi Yang was loved by the Marquis of Dongliang because of his diligence and excellent swordsmanship, and his limelight once surpassed that of Shi Ziba.There is even a rumor that the Marquis of Dongliang has the intention of easy storage.

How is the result?

One moment she was loving and loving, and the next moment she was thrown into prison, and she was still charged with treasonous crimes!

Seeing Shi Ziba, Gong Ziyang was unexpectedly not angry. Although everyone said that Shi Ziba harmed him for power, he knew the real culprit behind the scenes.

"Brother."

In the prison cell, Young Master Yang still didn't look embarrassed, his clothes were neat, his hair was recombed, he didn't wear a jade crown, he only had a wooden hairpin, and he still looked handsome and unparalleled.

Shi Ziba looked at Gong Ziyang, not knowing what to say.

Young Master Yang was saluting, and uttered the shocking words: "Yang is one step ahead, and hope that brother is well. Remember, beware of father!"

For the last few words, Gong Ziyang lowered his voice, except for the two, no one heard it.

Shi Ziba stared at Gong Ziyang's mouth shape, his mind was buzzing, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his chest, but he wanted to keep calm on his face, not showing the slightest sign.

Since then, the princes have gradually changed. Dongliang Kingdom no longer has modest princes, but some are narrow-minded, cunning but also dull Liang Ba.

Day after day, Shi Ziba got too involved in the drama, he completely lost his true nature, and it was impossible to change it.

Recalling the events back then, Shi Ziba put away his sneer, his expression darkened.

He didn't want to die, but his father insisted on pushing him to die.

After arriving in the Western capital, his fate was sealed.Even if Zhi Xuan didn't do anything, he might not be able to return to the Eastern Capital.In order to achieve his goal, the Marquis of Dongliang can do whatever he can.

What about the son, what about the son, it's not like he hasn't killed before.

"Father, I don't want to die, absolutely not." Shi Ziba murmured.

Marquis of Dongliang wanted to kill him with Zhixuan's hand, why couldn't he do the opposite?

There are historical precedents for borrowing troops to seek a country.Even if you have to pay a big price, it's better than being a pawn and letting others slaughter you.

"Dongliang Kingdom, Xiyuan Kingdom, and Zhongdu City."

The history books are vivid in his mind, Shi Ziba knows the consequences of borrowing troops, but he has no other choice.

If Zhi Xuan could be persuaded, he would not only save his life, but also ascend to the throne ahead of schedule.No matter how harsh the conditions Zhi Xuan put forward, as long as the country is not destroyed, he will readily agree.What's more, with the capital of Zhongdu, unless there is a capable replacement, the King of People will not sit back and watch the Dongliang Kingdom perish.

The replacement of the throne and the introduction of soldiers from other countries are all internal affairs of the vassal states. Before the winner is decided, Zhongducheng will not easily intervene.

"Father is unkind and son is unrighteous, father, this is what you taught me."

Shi Ziba sneered again and again, his face was ferocious, almost distorted.

The Marquis of Dongliang didn't know Shi Ziba's plan, so he announced to the officials the next morning that he ordered Shi Ziba to go to the Western Capital City in person, where the He Yuan family married Wang Zi Huai, and proposed to marry Yuan's daughter in person.

This order was too sudden, the officials were caught off guard, and there was a lot of discussion at the moment.Some are in favor, and some are against it.

Especially when he asked to marry the daughter of the Yuan family, Zhixuan rejected it outright and then turned around and married Yuan Tao to Wang Zihuai, which made Dongliang very embarrassing.If you mention it now, the other party may not let go.Shangchuangzi is not a business, and being rejected twice is really a big country's embarrassment.

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

"I've made up my mind."

Marquis Dongliang insisted on his own opinion, and it was useless to persuade anyone.

During the whole process, Shi Ziba remained silent and did not say a word.He didn't get up until Dongliang Hou called, and he stood up to receive the order.

The entourage was hand-picked by the Marquis of Dongliang, and the congratulatory gifts were also prepared by the clan. Shi Ziba didn't need to bother, as long as he stayed in the mansion honestly, and set off on time when the day came.

The Marquis of Dongliang sent his son to the dead end, without any guilt in his heart. Instead, he began to think about when he should send troops after the death of Shi Ziba, and how to write the call to arms and the memorial to Zhongdu City.

Shi Ziba seems to accept his fate, but secretly he is planning to use troops to seize the country and drive his father from the throne.

Both father and son want to put each other to death, and they are already endless.Outsiders have no way of knowing, and their eyes are focused on the marriage celebration and proposal, and the discussions and discussions have never stopped.

Liang Sheng had already set off, and in order to win the trust of others, he specially brought a lot of gold and silver, and took away his favorite son.

On the day he left home, he looked back at the door of the house, and he knew very well in his heart that if we say goodbye today, we will never see each other again.When the news of him taking refuge in Nanyou Country spreads, the whole family will suffer from catastrophe.

Marquis Dong Liang promised to keep his blood and keep his family alive, but Liang Sheng didn't believe it at all.

It is Dongliang Hou's consistent style to cut grass and roots without leaving hidden dangers.

From the very beginning, Marquis Dong Liang never thought of letting Liang Sheng's family survive. The so-called promise was just to appease people's hearts and make him willing to die.

"The vicious dog is about to die, and it will bite off a piece of meat!" Liang Sheng's eyes showed a fierce look.

After leaving the Monarch's Mansion, he released the pigeons through a special channel without anyone noticing.

In the three caves of the cunning rabbit, he has trained soldiers for the Marquis of Dongliang for several years, and he knows too many secrets.He was doomed to die, and his family would have no way out.But he won't just die in such a useless way, he will definitely make Dong Liang Hou pay the price.

"The gift of the minister, I hope the king is satisfied."

With a sneer, Liang Sheng rode out of the city and galloped southward without looking back.

The sky is clear and the blue is like washing water.

A blue-gray pigeon flew to the outskirts and landed in a hidden valley.

Soon, three carrier pigeons flew out of the valley, looking at the direction, they were all flying towards the western capital.

At that time, Zhixuan had already returned to the Western Capital City. During the day, the ministers met in court, and they were not allowed to rest at night. He had to deal with the accumulated government affairs quickly, read the wedding regulations, and often held candles until dawn.

He was able to sleep for a while before the morning morning, and he was often awakened not long after he rested.

Days like this lasted for a few days, and Zhi Xuan had two dark circles under his eyes.Relying on the tonics of witch doctor and mulberry doctor, he did not fall down, otherwise he would really not be able to survive.

"It's not easy for Mingjun." Facing the mountains of bamboo slips, Zhi Xuan sighed more than once.

He knew he would be busy, but he really didn't expect to be so busy.Too many things have accumulated together, like a heavy rain from the sky, and you can't hide even if you want to.

First was the marriage alliance between him and Zhao Hao, followed by Yuan Tao and Wang Zihuai's wedding. During the period, he had to plan to send troops, plus spring plowing, which kept him busy. He wished he could give birth to a few more hands. Clawfish, take care of the troubles once and for all.

Just when Zhi Xuan was so busy that he kicked the back of his head, the grassland sent news that the Di Rong tribe had moved south in a large scale, the number of which exceeded [-].

Every year when there is a shortage of crops, the grassland tribes will go south, looking for opportunities to plunder the border villages.Without enough food, the tribes would kill each other.

It is believed that these Di Rong originated from Mobei, mainly wolf Rong and Xiong Di, and there are also a large number of Bai Di, who have a fierce temperament and fight like wild animals.

Not long after Zhixuan returned to the western capital, Zhao Hao was also ordered to return to the country, and now the two cities are garrisoned by the Qing doctor, with a total of more than [-] garrisons.When encountering this tribal coalition army, instead of feeling troublesome, everyone's eyes lit up from top to bottom, gearing up.

The matter is not difficult to understand. Xuancheng and Haocheng have passed the sieve several times, no matter whether the savages or Di Rong are caught cleanly, if you want to get more labor, you must search farther.

Not waiting for the clans to stretch out their black hands, the target is delivered to the door on its own initiative. It is simply a dream come true!

In the letter to Zhixuan, there is excitement between the lines, which shows how happy the clan stationed in Xuancheng is.

In the same way, after the Dinu that Zhao Hao sent back to the northern capital was recognized, this group of tribal coalition forces was the wealth that was sent to their door, how could they not be arrested, they must be arrested!

Lang Rong and Xiong Di have lived in Mobei for a long time, and the news is not smooth in winter, and they don't know the news of the construction of the Xiongcheng on the grassland.It's not that no one delivered letters to them, but the messengers couldn't run far, and they were arrested by the clan sent people halfway, and thrown into the labor force for building the city and mining.

The news is blocked, and the result can be imagined.

The tribal coalition forces marched southward in mighty force, wanting to make a fortune, but they didn't know that there were two cities blocking the way, and they all threw themselves into the trap to contribute to the prosperity and construction of the two cities.

Putting down the letter, Zhi Xuan thought for a while, and then began to write a letter to Zhao Hao.

At the beginning of the letter, it is natural to write about missing. After all, we are newlyweds, so it is not appropriate to just talk about the division of interests.After talking about my thoughts, I can talk about business. Thirty thousand Dirong, I am excited just thinking about it.

In the middle of writing the letter, a servant suddenly reported that a businessman had come from outside the residence, and said that there was a treasure to present to Zhixuan.

"Chongbao?"

The waiter presented a piece of silk with simple lines, half a map could be vaguely identified.

Zhi Xuan looked at the map, thought for a moment, and decided to meet the businessman.

"Take people to the side hall."

"promise!"
