My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 434 Jia Xu’s evil will always be in his bones

October is the most beautiful time for autumn.

A long procession came out of the city. The emperor's guard of honor stretched for ten miles along the official road. The curtains of the car inside were opened. The green mountains were turning golden, rising and falling in the autumn wind, and the withered yellow leaves were flying like raindrops. Mid-air is refreshing.

"I haven't been out of the palace for a long time. It's just a good time to send An Le Gong and Xi Le Gong to Linzhou to get some fresh air."

The curtain was lowered, and Su Chen was sitting on a soft cushion. He still had the airs of an emperor. He stretched out his legs, leaned against the compartment wall, and threw preserved fruits into his mouth. Opposite him, a person was kneeling upright on the cushion, wearing gray-black clothes. He is wearing a robe with faint patterns of raindrops embroidered on it, and has a dark beard. He is reading the letter sent by Kankan from the Yue Kingdom this morning, analyzing the intentions of the Yue Emperor word for word.

After hearing the emperor's words, Jia Xu put down the letter and said with a smile: "The emperor guards the world and handles government affairs every day. It is indeed laborious and laborious. Your Majesty often went out for a walk at that time."

What he said was true. The government affairs Su Chen dealt with every day were all those that had been screened by the Prime Minister's Office, but in his hands, they were still heavy.

Not many people in the position of emperor can live long.

"I do think that next time you can explain to Prime Minister Zhuge for me, let him treat me like Adou, and take care of everything. Then I can go out and hang out... um... it's a private visit incognito!"

Jia Xu smiled and said nothing. The slowly driving carriage stopped, and the footsteps of the soldiers accompanying him outside also stopped. Wu Zixun came outside the carriage and whispered through the curtain.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived."

"I just said a few words to the lieutenant, and we're here so soon." Su Chen smiled, put down the hot tea in his hand, shook his robe sleeves, stood up and walked out first, followed closely by Jia Xu who was beside him. chariot.

The autumn sunshine is blowing across the mountains and fields, and the gentle wind is blowing on your face. What comes into view is the gradual yellowing of the rolling hills. There are some farmers in the fields turning over the soil, but at the moment, they are all embroidered. Si's people were watching, and they seemed to know that it was the emperor's chariot, and they knelt down in the field.

Su Chen got off the carriage and glanced at the field. He once said that no one would kneel down, but it still happened. Sometimes he, the emperor, couldn't stop it, whether it was the Embroidery Department or the Tiger Guard Camp. , in their eyes, the emperor is about dignity and pomp.

'Leave them alone. '

Su Chen no longer wanted to stop him. He turned around and reached out to help Jia Xu, who was following behind. When the other person got off the carriage, he made an inviting gesture.

"Please, Lieutenant."

"Your Majesty, please," Jia Xu first cupped his hands, then stretched out his hand to let Su Chen go in front. He followed behind and walked in a row with Dian Wei and Xu Chu to the motorcade behind the team.

At this time, Kang Chengqian and Kang Zun, the uncle and nephew, had gotten off the carriage at the front of the team and bowed to Su Chen in fear.

"Greetings to Your Majesty."

"No more greetings. I'll see you twice in one day. You two are not too young anymore and your waists can't bear it. Okay, okay, that's all." Su Chen went out for a walk and had a look, plus the Yue country was coming. The letter was, as he expected, in a good mood, and his words were naturally different from the past.

On the side, Wu Zixun brought drinks.

Su Chen took a glass, and the uncle and nephew opposite also took a cup each, holding them carefully in their hands, "Your Majesty, you rescued my uncle and nephew from the Kingdom of Wu, and the whole family was saved. This glass of wine..."

As an uncle, Kang Zun was not very good at talking. What he said just now was what Kang Chengqian said, "My third uncle and I can reassure your majesty. When we arrive at the land of food, we should abide by our duties, restrain our children, and not cause trouble to your majesty." , and won’t do what he wants.”

The reason why he said it bluntly was because he understood that the Emperor of Xia in front of him didn't like to beat around the bush, so saying this made it seem that the two of them really didn't care about him.

"I wonder if my third uncle and I can see the unification of the six countries in our lifetime? Your Majesty, please let us see it with our own eyes. If we have the opportunity in the future, we would like to visit the borders of the country."

"My nephew is confused. At that time, where was the Yue Kingdom? It was Yuezhou." Kang Zun reminded him in a low voice, which made Su Chen laugh. He immediately raised his wine glass and said, "You two are going to Lin. I will send you here, but if you want to go to Yuezhou for a walk, I will never let you down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"There is still a long way to go, so hurry up!"

Su Chen put down his wine glass and stepped aside. The royal chariot in front also slowly rushed to the roadside to make way. Kang Chengqian and Kang Zun bowed again. In the ten carriages behind, the heirs of the Kang family also got off. Say prostrations and give thanks.

Soon, the convoy was escorted by two hundred Luyang soldiers and slowly drove away.

Jia Xu gently stroked his white beard and sighed. Such a scene reminded him of the scene when Liu Bian and Queen He were moved out of Luoyang. However, the uncle, nephew and family were lucky enough to meet Su Chen, and Dong Zhuo himself had also changed a lot, otherwise he would have probably had to send someone to catch up with him on the road and drink a few glasses of poisonous wine. On the side, Su Chen waved his hand in front of the old man, "Lieutenant, what are you sighing for?"

"Sigh to Liu Bian and Queen He, haha. But next, it's time to start the matter of Yue Kingdom."

Jia Xu took out the letter from his sleeve and returned to the chariot with Su Chen. They got into the car. On the way back slowly changing the route, he interpreted some passages from Meng Tong's words in the letter.

He looked at Su Chen and said with a smile: "The words in the letter are very similar, and they congratulate His Majesty on winning the Wu Kingdom, and also add a few words to ask His Majesty to come forward to reconcile his five princes. It seems urgent, but in fact it has a deeper meaning. "

"What's the meaning?"

Su Chen poured hot tea, and with the steam rising, he put the tea cup in front of the old man, "At this time, he still wants to play tricks on me?"

"Haha... It is true that this King of Yue State wants His Majesty to come forward to mediate, and it is also true that he wants to see His Majesty's path clearly. He does have some wisdom, but not much. It is necessary. There is no need to answer him in such a hurry. Just delay it for a while. !”

Su Chen stretched out his hand: "Lieutenant, continue speaking!"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the strategy he set up on the border between Wu and Yue when Xu Chu came here?"

"Instigate disputes, let Wu and Yue fight among themselves, and leave no room for me to deal with Xirong and Qiliang."

"That's true, but not quite."

Jia Xu put down the letter, picked up the teacup and took a sip. A flash of light flashed in his eyes, "Now, this plan really shows its fangs. No matter which country in Wuyue is destroyed, it will suffer backlash."

"Two years of disputes have caused endless internal strife in Vietnam, and also made merchants in the Central Plains make a lot of money. As a result, the economy of Vietnam has become worse than before. The soldiers have no silver in their hands and no food in their families. This is another One; secondly, the people are getting poorer and poorer, and if they can't fight for a long time, the people will inevitably become resentful. Now that the dispute between Wu and Yue has subsided, the competition between the princes for the crown prince has resumed. If it were said that the country was fighting against the country before, the people can still comfort themselves, but between the princes There will be constant fighting, and the resentment in the hearts of the people will surely be unbearable."

"So... the current situation in the Yue Kingdom means that it's time to show your fangs." Jia Xu gently tapped the table on the low table with a gentle smile: "As long as there is a righteous man, raise his arms and shout... ...Princes and generals, Xiang Ning has the guts!"

"..."

Su Chen sat upright on the cushions, looking at the old god opposite Jia Xu, who seemed to be telling an interesting story, and finally understood why Prime Minister Cao didn't kill him or let him go.

The reason for not killing him is because he cherishes his talent, and the reason for not letting him go is because he doesn't want to have a splitting headache in the future.

"The Taiwei is really a talented person. Even if the Taiwei doesn't come up with any strategies in the future, I will always take you with me, otherwise I will have nightmares."

Su Chen immediately opened the curtain and called Wu Zixun.

"If I go somewhere in the future and the Taiwei doesn't follow me, you have to remind me. In addition, find more things for the Taiwei to do so that he doesn't have time to think about it."

Jia Xu:"……"

As he spoke, the guard of honor had returned to Luyang, and there were many banners stretching for two miles. The steps of the nine rows and nine rows of the shield warriors of the Tiger Guard camp vibrated with the sound of metal collisions on their armor, and they slowly marched.

Along the way, businessmen and people were kneeling on the roadside. There were also some people in the rivers, lakes and green forests. Even if they were perverse and unruly, they had to kneel down and bow their heads in front of such an army.

Some people quietly raised their eyes and looked over, and saw the emperor's chariot drawn by nine tall horses approaching, and then passing through the field of vision in front of them. Two burly and huge generals were guarding the chariot on the left and right. They were carrying double halberds and tiger heads. The knife has a ferocious smell of rust, which makes people feel cold in their hearts just by looking at it.

The procession gradually passed, and the patrolling and vigilant embroidery department also left one by one. Only then did the kneeling people and businessmen get up. Among the crowd, among the several figures dressed in Jianghu green forest, there was a man with a messy beard, wearing a bamboo hat, behind his back. The man with the knife behind his back looked at the retreating team with some envy.

"The Emperor of Xia is really majestic. If I could replace him, haha, I don't know how happy it would be!"

Most of the people in the Jianghu Green Forest are straightforward and speak openly. When the business travelers and pedestrians passing by heard what the other party said, they couldn't help but quicken their steps and pass by in a hurry, for fear of being implicated.

"These people looked in a hurry. They must have been frightened by what happened to the Riyi tribe that day."

"Hmph, the Emperor of Xia is definitely a tyrant!"

Several green forest knights spoke in low voices and said a few words casually, looking ahead at the huge city soaked in the autumn sun.
