"I finally saw the wrong person."
Shen Yu looked away and saw Bai Yu flapping his wings in a tantrum.
Xie Tingzhou raised his hand, took Bai Yu's hand, weighed it on his arm, and said, "It has sunk a lot. I will cut off its flesh today and let Bai Yu go out to hunt by himself."
When the weather is hot, Bai Yu is also lazy and doesn't like to go hunting. The birds have become fat.
Stay under the eaves for a long time and respond.
Xie Tingzhou whistled, and Bai Yu, who had just suffered a terrible disaster, spread his wings and flew into the sky, but was burned back under the eaves by the scorching sun, staring at Xie Tingzhou unhappily.
They stopped in Weizhou, and Shen Zhao would take Xiao Chuan and Chang Heng to Luzhou to attack Marquis Xuanping soon.
Shen Yu said: "The baggage goes first. A single movement of troops will cost tens of thousands of military pay."
Xie Tingzhou stood beside Shen Yu, "Fortunately, the spring plowing in various states went smoothly. If there is no drought, this year will be a good harvest, and flowers will be spent."
"There has been no news from Chihe, what do you think?" Shen Yu looked sideways at him.
Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes and stared into her eyes, "No news is good news. The people in Shengjing should be the most anxious at the moment."
"Have you discussed this with the gentlemen?"
"Yes." Xie Tingzhou said, "There is still one thing missing."
Shen Yu: "What?"
"The Blade that Breaks the Cage." Xie Tingzhou held her in his arms and looked into the distance, "I want the heroes of the world to gather together to help you and I break the cage."
What Xie Tingzhou needs most right now is no longer soldiers, he needs talents.
Everywhere where the iron hoof has stepped is in ruins and needs suitable people to manage it.
The initial decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty was caused by the corruption of the lowest officials. They could not repeat the same mistakes and must entrust the livelihood of the people in several states to the right hands.
However, although Xie Tingzhou has brought blessings to all the people and is popular among the people, in the final analysis, he is still seeking to usurp the throne. Most of the people who defect to him now are people who are greedy for profit, and there are very few who can be used.
A military commander holds a sword in his hand, but the pen in a scholar's hand is also a murderous blade, one for the body and the other for the heart.
If he wanted to become famous as a teacher, Xie Tingzhou needed to stir up trouble among the literati and put himself on an equal footing with the emperor of Zhou Dynasty to compete.
……
The screams outside the hall continued for a long time, and finally became silent.
When Queen Chu came, the palace servants were cleaning up the blood stains. Water was splashed on the ground, and the blood spread along the current, and flowed to the feet of Queen Chu.
"Queen, please forgive me." The palace man immediately knelt on the ground.
Queen Chu took two steps back, asked her grandma to cover the little prince's eyes, and asked, "What happened?"
Li Zhaonian had always had a gentle temperament, and he had never killed a servant with a stick. He didn't know the reason for what happened today.
The palace man knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.
Since Li Zhaonian fell ill, Empress Chu became much more haggard. Li Zhaonian did not enter the harem, so the little prince became his only heir.
But it is an indisputable fact that Li Zhaonian alienated her.
Seeing that the palace attendants did not answer, Empress Chu knew clearly that Xuanhui Palace belonged to Li Zhaonian and Li Jifeng, so she was completely on guard against her.
The eunuch announced outside the door that the queen was here, but there was no response from inside. The eunuch smiled at the queen and reported again after a while.
This was not the first time that Queen Chu had been stopped outside. She had not seen Li Zhaonian for a long time, so she brought the young prince here today.
Empress Chu hugged the little prince and knelt down at the entrance of the palace, and said warmly: "Call Father."
The little prince was still an infant at this time last year, but now he can walk.
But her milky voice was milky, her words were unclear, and she screamed. In fact, she couldn't hear what she was shouting at all.
Li Zhaonian opened his eyes and heard the little prince's babbling voice outside. He finally softened his heart and turned his head to say something to the people around him.
After the palace maid opened the door, Empress Chu prepared to go in, but was stunned when she saw the person behind the palace maid.
"Prince."
Li Jifeng nodded, "My brother has met the emperor's sister-in-law. The emperor's brother wants to meet the little prince. The emperor's sister-in-law will just hand over the child to the palace attendants."
The little prince was frightened when he saw strangers and kept crying. He grabbed his grandma and refused to let go. Empress Chu scolded her and said, "That's your father."
The palace doors were closed, but the cry of the little prince could still be heard.
Queen Chu felt disappointed but still remained dignified.
She regretted that at first, she knew that Li Zhaonian probably knew that she had poisoned him, so she was alienated from her in every possible way.
Perhaps he kept her because the prince was still young, or because he was under pressure from his relatives. In short, the love between husband and wife in Qiandi had long since disappeared with that glass of poisonous wine.
Li Jifeng nodded briefly and walked down the steps. Empress Chu hurriedly said: "Prince."
Li Jifeng stopped and looked up.
Queen Chu asked: "I wonder why your Majesty is so angry today."
Li Jifeng smiled and said, "It must be that someone touched his reverse scale, but he just killed a few chatty palace servants with a stick. It should be noted that no matter how gentle a person is, he will fight back when forced into a desperate situation."
Li Jifeng shook his sleeves and left.
There has been a lot of excitement in the court these days because Shengjing is not at peace. From time to time, students make troubles and even get into fights.
Li Jifeng walked into Liangyuan in his regular clothes. This was an elegant gathering place for literati to meet, but it was a little too noisy today.
When Li Jifeng came in, he saw Jiang Lianzhi facing the railing, "Do you mind sharing a seat?"
Jiang Lianzhi turned around and said, "Please."
The two had a tacit understanding and neither revealed the other's identity.
Li Jifeng sat down and turned to look at the crowd: "Brother Jiang cares about people's livelihood. Come and check out what's going on in Beijing these days."
"Just watching the excitement." Jiang Lianzhi poured a cup of tea, "Please have some tea."
There were all literati present, but they were extremely noisy.
"The wolfish ambitions of Xie Tingzhou and Shen Yu are now clearly exposed. They want to destroy our century-old foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Jian Shou will not tolerate it."
"What is the law of heaven?" A student asked angrily: "How can the law of heaven save the country? You are clinging to the old and clinging to your own steadfastness. In fact, you are not striving for progress and are simply pedantic!"
"The advancement you talk about is seeking to usurp the throne."
"What I say is to advance is to save the country and save the people. It's better than your mouth to talk nonsense here."
The two of them were quarreling red-faced, getting closer and closer, spittle flying into each other's faces, but neither of them wanted to back away, insisting on fighting to win.
"You are a scholar, but your mouth is extremely vulgar."
"You are a scholar, but your speech is nonsense."
"You! You are vulgar and unworthy of being a scholar."
"You are disgraceful to gentlemen, you..."
Seeing that the two were about to make a move, the others quickly pulled the two away.
"I don't think you can get any results from your argument, why don't you listen to me." The man was wearing a gray robe that had been washed, and his words and deeds were quite magnanimous.
"Instead of arguing here endlessly, it is better to think about what you can do to save the world you talk about. You are all knowledgeable people. I must not study hard in Hanchuang just to show off my quick words."
Everyone fell silent.
A student said: "When the late emperor was in power, there was peace and tranquility. Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty is divided, it is really a disaster for all people."
"You only saw the singing and dancing in Shengjing during the late emperor's reign, but you didn't see the people dying of hunger everywhere."
