Zhi Xuan

Either lose everything, or become someone else's pawn, how should I choose?

Zhi Xuan's answer is, choose none!

Going forward is an abyss, and going backward is a cliff, and there are dead ends in front and back. You can't fly without wings, so you simply dig a hole in place and walk in a tunnel!

No one stipulates that you must walk from the ground, right?

Since there is no road on the ground, he can dig a road for himself, right?

When all the ministers fell silent and all kinds of veiled eyes gathered, Zhi Xuan suddenly spoke, breaking the dead silence of this moment.

"Your Majesty, Xuan has a request."

"My son just ask." Xi Yuanhou was in a good mood, thinking that Zhi Xuan wanted to continue asking for supplies, as long as it was not too much, he would not refuse.

"My lord, Xuan has been stubborn since he was a child, with little talent and learning, and no ability to govern. Relying on the blessing of his ancestors, he was lucky enough to succeed. Your lord is very kind, and he bestowed the three lands with Xuan to guard the border. Xuan dare not resign. However, Xuan is ashamed and governs the three lands. If you still have to rely on others, how can you build a new army?"

As soon as Zhi Xuan's words came out, Marquis Xiyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and all the dignitaries also looked sideways.

According to the meaning of the words, could it be that he wants to disobey the emperor's will and give up the military power that is at his fingertips?

Although the new army will make Liuqing fearful and make it difficult for him to move forward in the court, he is still the son of the original family, and he will be criticized if he shrinks back like this.

Discussions sounded briefly, Yu Suhu and the others glanced at them, and the voice quickly disappeared.

"My son doesn't want to lead the army?" Xi Yuanhou said in a deep voice.

"How dare you disobey your majesty's will. Xuan comes from the Yuan family, how dare you fall into the name of your ancestors?" Zhi Xuan deliberately paused, took a deep breath, faced Su Hu and the others, and after saluting one by one, continued, "Xuan Zhi Please, regarding the establishment of a new army, I hope you will help me."

Seeing Zhixuan acting like this, Xi Yuanhou's face darkened slightly, and the hands under the case slowly tightened.The Six Ministers headed by Su Hu had slightly different reactions, but without exception, they were all interested in Zhi Xuan's proposal.

"My lord, how do you want us to help?" Su Hu asked.

"Xuan is not talented, and his subordinates are incapable of running an army. Moreover, there are few people in the fiefdom. Mo Yan's army is hard to recruit. I hope that the generals of the Chinese army can send someone to give advice and don't hesitate to help."

Zhi Xuan's words were beyond everyone's expectations, especially Marquis Xiyuan.He thought that the matter of the new army was complete, but he did not expect that Zhi Xuan could break the situation in this way.

The monarch does not want Liu Qing to join the new army, but Zhi Xuan wants to do the opposite.Although this move will bury hidden dangers, it is the only way to get out of the predicament at the moment.

What's more, he didn't lie, he didn't even have a subordinate official, he had to rely on doctors seconded from the court to govern the fiefdom, and his eyes were smeared when he established a new army, so he naturally needed help.

Without sufficient knowledge reserves and relevant professionals, it is no wonder that the team can pull up.Even if it is pulled up, its combat effectiveness is worrying.Not to mention that compared with the regular army of the vassal states, even the soldiers in the army may not be as good as them.

What is a general?What is a handsome talent?What is mediocrity?

If there is no such difference, how can there be a saying in history that "one general is incompetent and kills the three armies"?

Of course, it's too early to mention these.

Zhi Xuan's purpose is very simple, to allocate part of the military power to stabilize the Liuqing, and then seek some benefits from the other party, so as to build an army framework as quickly as possible.

The consequence of this is that after the new army is established, there will inevitably be a new round of power struggles.But that is also for the future.For now, the most important thing is to divide the interests and protect oneself.

Marquis Xiyuan's intentions will not be clear to anyone, even if he is clear, if Zhi Xuan is overwhelmed by power, he will still be hit by the clan.

Zhixuan took the initiative to divide the military power, which undoubtedly violated the original intention of Marquis Xiyuan.But his reasons were justified, and his request was reasonable. If Marquis Xiyuan objected, he would no longer be the enemy of the court.

The fact that the clan is hostile to the new army is simply because they can't intervene, and it's not easy to oppose it easily, otherwise it will be easy to be caught and charged with obstructing the border guards and expelling Hu.

Zhi Xuan took the initiative to speak up, so that they could deploy personnel openly and get an extra part of the military power without getting a bad name.

"My lord really thinks so?" Surprisingly, after Su Hu, it was Luan Hui who spoke.

"Naturally." Zhi Xuan said seriously.

"Good!" Su Hu clapped his palms with a smile, and said briskly, "Young master's concern is true. Zhi, Feng, and Liang are less than a thousand households, and it is really difficult to form an army. Why do you talk about defending the border. Since you have spoken, I should not refuse."

When he said these words, Su Hu didn't even look at Xi Yuanhou.

None of the people present were fools, even if Xi Yuanhou was mainly targeting Zhi Xuan, it would harm the interests of the clan, and a turnaround could happen at any time.

In the final analysis, for clans, family interests are the soil for their survival.

Su Hu's words, Qing doctors responded one after another, even the Mi brothers were not left behind.

The political form of the vassal state is very special.

When it comes to the outside world, the monarch and the clan are tied together; when the eyes turn to the inside, there is a natural opposition between the two sides.

The clan is also not at peace. Different clans may be hostile or allied, and the relationship between the big clan and the small clan is also quite delicate.

Zhi Xuan took the initiative to give up part of the benefits, cleverly diverted the conflict, removed the knife hanging from his head, and threw it back to Xi Yuanhou.Although new problems will appear soon, at least you can jump out of the most dangerous traps, and you won't worry about being stabbed anytime, anywhere.

Zhi Xuan didn't want to accept the honor of being assassinated every now and then.

Ignoring Xi Yuanhou's gloomy expression, the six ministers spoke out one after another, willing to provide Zhi Xuan with a helping hand.

In less than a moment, the number of soldiers supporting Zhi Xuan reached [-], as well as food, leather armor, weapons, and more than [-] slaves.

But these are all payable.

It is impossible for Zhi Xuan to stay in the fief forever. When he returns to the western capital, the military power of the new army will inevitably be divided. The soldiers, supplies and slaves sent by the clans are equivalent to the investment in the future division of military power.

This is an out-and-out transaction. All parties to the transaction are well aware of what they have to pay and what they will get.

"Thank you for your help, Xuan is very grateful!"

Zhi Xuan acted very sincerely, without any reluctance.

Sitting behind the case, Marquis Xiyuan watched Zhixuan and Liuqing complete the exchange of interests, but never found a chance to stop them.

Besides the soldiers, Zhi Xuan asked Fan Xu again, asking him to send his family members to the new army to be in charge of military law.

"Fan's duty is incumbent." Fan Xu nodded with a smile.

Fan Xu decided to support Zhi Xuan, and he had reached a tacit agreement with Su Hu in private, but he just kept it from other people.This time when Zhixuan opened his mouth, he would definitely select carefully and assign to those he could use.

So far, everything has settled.

Marquis Xiyuan looked at his respectful son, when everyone thought he would do something else, unexpectedly he didn't say anything, and only asked Zhi Xuan to return to the list, and discussed with the officials about spring plowing and this year's tribute and service.

"At the beginning of summer, people from the Central Capital will pass on the number of tributes for this year."

When everyone was discussing, Zhi Xuan sat down honestly and successfully made himself a background board.

As for Zhongdu Herenwang, he only read about it from the books collected in the mansion.

According to the records in the book, Zhongdu occupies an extremely large area, with three gates and a population of more than 15.

By the standards of future generations, this is an ordinary county at best, not even a medium-sized county in a densely populated province.But at present, considering the situation of the various vassal states, Zhongdu can indeed be called an out-and-out big city.

Zhi Xuan conscientiously served as the background board, but his ears were pricked up, not letting go of any useful information.It's just that when he first came into contact with government affairs, he heard too many unfamiliar words, half of the time he was confused, and the specific meaning could only be guessed.

After the matter was settled, Marquis Xiyuan announced the disbandment of the dynasty.

According to the clan's habit of having two meals a day, the time happened to be the meal time.However, Xiyuan Hou Xinqing was not good, he didn't plan to show his father's kindness and filial piety, and Zhi Xuan was also very knowledgeable, Ma Liu stood up, and left the main hall with all the officials.

Walking out of the gate of the Monarch's Mansion, Zhi Xuan was about to board the car when a voice came from behind him.Zhi Xuan looked back and couldn't help being surprised, it was Mi Wu who stopped him!

Because of the relationship between the son Kang, the two naturally stand on opposite sides.In the hall before, Mi Shi also lent soldiers, but the purpose was not to support him, but to bury nails for real.

Knowing the other party's intentions, Zhi Xuan had to answer.It was he who took the initiative to speak, at least to show that they should be treated equally.

Mi Wu called Zhi Xuan to stop, and did not speak immediately, but looked at him silently, with probing eyes, and imperceptible admiration and regret.

Zhi Xuan was seen inexplicably, even a little creepy.

"What's the matter with you?"

"The gold jewelry you gave me is very ingenious. The family is very happy, so I should thank you." After leaving these words, Mi Wu bid farewell to Zhi Xuan, turned around and left with Mi Ji.

Watching the backs of the pair of brothers, Zhi Xuan was puzzled, and Monk Zhang Er was quite puzzled.

Call him to stop just to say thank you?

Zhi Xuan couldn't help but look up at the sky, it was normal, there was neither thunder nor rain, and no abnormal phenomenon occurred.

Since it's not God's problem, it can only be that Mi Wu is abnormal.The fact that these clans are doing things is really hard to see through, so we need to be more careful in the future.

On the bullock cart with the clan totem, Mi Wu closed his eyes and rested his mind, Mi Ji asked, "What did you mean, big brother?"

Mi Wu still closed his eyes, turning a deaf ear to Mi Ji's words.

"Brother!"

"Don't shout, I can hear you." Mi Wu sighed, opened his eyes, and answered the wrong question, "Young Master Xuan's courage and wisdom are far beyond ordinary people, but it's a pity that he doesn't have Mi's blood."

"Brother?" Mi Ji opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief.

"It's just a pity, it doesn't have to be like this." Mi Wu said with a smile.

Zhixuan's performance today surprised him, but that's all.

The Mi family wants to support the son Kang, and is the enemy of the son Xuantian.Ever since Zhixuan escaped death and woke up from a coma, the two sides have been dying forever, either you die or I die!

Zhi Xuan is clear about this, and so is Mi Wu.
