Chapter 1094 The name Wenhe is meaningful
"What a joke!" A Zoroastrian Dharma King stood up and looked at Fang Wenhe.
The old man, who had a bald head and white beard and wore a white monk-like robe, clenched his fist and looked at Fang Wenhe: "Just as you said, Tubo, the Thirty-Six Kingdoms, as well as Persia, the Arab Empire, the Tiele tribe, and the Mobei where the Tiele tribe has temporarily surrendered, all covet our trade route that runs through the east and west!"
"Let's not talk about the final outcome. Just considering that Daxia is facing the current Mobei iron hoof, can they win?"
Fang Wenhe raised his eyes and looked at the Dharma King: "Senior Dajia, right?"
The monk clasped his fists.
Fang Wenhe said: "You seem to have never really taken Daxia seriously, so you will be defeated in the world."
Just as Dajia was about to speak, Qinya raised her hand.
After Dajia noticed this, he bowed to apologize to Qin Ya, then apologized to Fang Wenhe and sat down again.
Fang Wenhe took the teacup and motioned for Dajia to drink, and then he said slowly: "You can say that I, Fang, am the one who did it, but it is not wrong for you to take action in the world. You learned the Qi-retaining method of Senior Zhang Zi and avoided Yan Yunxiao. There are also the thirteen guards on the left and right, which is not wrong. But the Queen is at fault."
Fang Wenhe picked up his teacup. "Since the appearance of the Empress, Daxia has suddenly changed its direction, but you didn't feel it. You still think Daxia is the one that was struggling to survive after Emperor Xuanzong's rebellion, but you forgot to count the years after Emperor Xuanzong changed his ways, and the farming of several emperors afterwards. It seems that there must be a war with Mobei every once in a while, so that this country can no longer restore the prosperity of Emperor Xuanzong. But with the current emperor and the appearance of the Empress, Daxia's appearance has suddenly changed. Didn't you realize that it is heading towards a prosperous era? In less than a month, Goguryeo and Korea were destroyed. Only when Emperor Taizong was in power did he have such a powerful army!"
At this point, Fang Wenhe looked at the expressions of Qin Ya, Da Jia and others, and said with a smile: "Zhao Wuxiu led tens of thousands of cavalry and easily defeated your cobbled-together army."
Qin Ya said: "Daxia, we can't go back to the era of Emperor Taizong. It's worse now than it was then."
But before he finished speaking, Fang Wenhe looked at Qin Ya with a smile and said, "Emperor Taizong's national policy towards the Western Regions is to establish the Anxi Protectorate. But I have to say that this female emperor has no intention of establishing this Protectorate. She is planning to take over the entire Daxia."
Da Jia said firmly: "She can't eat it, even if I give it to her, she can't eat it!"
Fang Wenhe smiled bitterly: "Senior Dajia may not understand what I mean. The appetite of this emperor is bigger than you think. In other words, if you hand it over, she won't come to take it. Otherwise, she will come to ask for it."
Dajia said, "Sir, it seems that you are saying that the entire Mobei army of hundreds of thousands, or even millions of troops, will be defeated!"
Fang Wenhe was silent, then lowered his eyes to look at the tea: "So I say, you underestimated the Queen."
Qin Ya said: "How can the power of one person change the situation of a great country!"
Fang Wenhe raised his eyes and said, "Why were the Great Xia cavalry able to destroy you, and why did they make it difficult for the Tibetans you contacted to move forward? Don't say you don't know."
Qin Ya fell silent.
Of course they know.
But I don’t know what that is!
Because it is impossible to win!
They must also kill the soldiers who managed to return!
Because according to what those soldiers said, they were rebelling against the Queen of Daxia, who was the God of Fire, so the God Wo personally brought down divine punishment, turning the flames into black iron balls and the anger into an invisible existence, and only flames were burning on the battlefield.
The Great Xia cavalry rushed out in flames amidst the thick smoke.
The people who are protected and favored by the God of Fire are not them, but Daxia, because the God of Fire is in Daxia.
Lushan has lost the favor of God Wo. We have been defeated and we will all be punished by God Wo.
It can be said that it disrupted the morale of the army and even affected the fundamentals, so he had to be killed.
It was also because of this that Qin Ya and others spared no effort to collect treasures and come to Shu.
Zhang Zi looked at Fang Wenhe at the side without saying a word. He had heard of the strange and powerful weapons in Daxia, but had never seen one.
Fang Wenhe said, "You think that with Lushan around, Daxia, which was once able to overthrow the peak of its power, can certainly be overthrown now. I really don't know what to say to you about this."
"Just like the fleas you looked down upon, Klesin and Yiluo, you didn't try to kill them from the beginning, but now they have become a hidden danger. Just like you people in the world will make a big fuss, but forget to think about why the Queen's hair has turned white, but Huang Chao and Yao Xisheng are dead, but she is still alive."
Dajia did not speak again this time. Instead, he was silent for a moment and looked at Fang Wenhe: "Sir, what you mean is that Daxia will win Mobei, and then eat up our Western Regions right under the noses of Mobei and Tubo, thereby intimidating those countries that covet the Western Regions?"
Another Dharma King said, "The so-called army we have assembled is actually just the followers. The truly powerful Hunhuotu and other tribes did not fight with Zhao Wuxiu, not to mention the Holy Fire Cult members. Moreover, Mobei is very strong. Even if Daxia can win, it will not be able to win in a short time. I have personally gone to the six towns of Shuofang to see the man with double pupils named Erzhu Rong. In the words of you Daxia people, that man has the spirit of a dragon. I have also seen Zhong Shuoxing, the king of the South Court of Mobei. He is so smart that he can tell what I am thinking at a glance. Moreover, their shamanism, great shamans, great wizards and priests are all very powerful."
Fang Wenhe looked at the Dharma King, smiled and said, "So, all these should be considered. But what we really need to think about is the other side, such as why Daxia is so confident that it dares to directly confront other countries with its own strength. "
Qin Ya thought for a moment and looked at Fang Wenhe: "Sir, you just said that the King of Shu does not intend to send troops, but intends to start an army?"
Fang Wenhe shook his head: "You can't say that. The prince doesn't have that in mind. I just said it."
Qin Ya looked at Fang Wenhe in confusion.
Fang Wenhe said: "The difference of one word makes a world of difference. Moreover, the name 'Lushan' is not something that anyone can recite casually."
Dajia lost his temper and said directly: "After all that, I heard from you that you just kept talking about how powerful Daxia is and how we will definitely lose! Can it be understood that the King of Shu does not intend to send troops, so he is so hesitant to let you tell us."
"Sit down." Qin Ya uttered these two words softly, and the mist on the lake surface began to ripple slightly.
Dajia hurried to apologize.
Fang Wenhe said: "These words are for the prince, not for you."
Qin Ya glanced at Zhang Zi with a strange expression on her face, and then asked directly: "What did you tell us?"
Fang Wenhe said, "The knife cannot be easily pulled out of the scabbard, but if it is pulled out, it will naturally kill people. Since the Western Regions have used knives against Daxia, it is a fight to the death. What I mean is, gather the army and kill Zhao Wuxiu! It seems like a decisive battle, but no matter how powerful Daxia's weapons are, if you all go all out, no matter how difficult it is, you can kill Zhao Wuxiu. As long as Zhao Wuxiu is dead, Daxia's Western Region army will be leaderless, and Shuozhou and Yandi are fighting even harder, and Zongze will be unable to come to their aid. You have already contacted the Tiele people, so can't they be dispatched? As for Tubo, Zhu Huang must be contained."
Zhang Zi narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Wenhe.
Qin Ya clenched her fists and stared at Fang Wenhe and asked, "You mean, the King of Shu will send troops to help us kill Zhao Wuxiu?!"
Fang Wenhe picked up the teacup, saw a tea leaf sticking up in the cup, smiled lightly, and answered the question irrelevantly: "Lushan will send troops."
Inside the palace garden
The King of Shu had disheveled hair and his dragon robe was not tied with a rope.
Behind him, Madam Zou, the fifth prince's mother, carefully helped the King of Shu to fix his hair.
The King of Shu gently opened his eyes and looked at himself in the bronze mirror: "Zou."
Madam Zou immediately bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty."
The King of Shu looked at Zou's reflection in the bronze mirror and asked, "Is Xiaowu okay?"
Zou was stunned, looked at the King of Shu and replied: "Okay"
But he immediately added: "I read sincerely every day to repent for the mistakes I have made."
The King of Shu twitched his lips and said, "How old have you been with me?"
Zou didn't understand why the prince suddenly asked this, but she still answered: "I have been serving the prince since I was 19."
The King of Shu said slowly: "Nineteen, you are still so young, but I already have a lot of white hair."
After that, he looked at the somewhat panicked Zou and said with a smile: "Go back and tell Xiaowu that it was a mistake to pardon him. Go to Tingyu to apologize. The matter is over. Losing an arm is better than losing your life. In the future, study hard. There are some things that you should not..."
When he said this, the King of Shu was stunned.
Because what he was about to say was also mentioned to him by his father.
Thinking of this, the King of Shu couldn't help but sneer, and then said: "That's all."
Hearing this, Zou looked at the King of Shu and immediately knelt down: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."
The King of Shu waved his hand, signaling her to go down.
Then he looked at Chen Yue and Fa Yuan, two important officials of Shu who had been standing on the side.
Zou did not dare to stay and left with great joy.
Just as they left, the King of Shu asked, "Did they go to Mr. Fang's place?"
Fa Yuan said, "Yes, and the gifts are quite generous."
Then Fa Yuan said, "Mr. Zhang, he's gone too."
The King of Shu smiled and said, "Everyone wants me to send troops, but Mr. Fang disagrees. He disagrees, and Tingyu disagrees too. What do you think?"
Fa Yuan said: "I think we cannot leave."
Shen Yue said: "You can send troops, but the name must be changed."
King Shu and Fa Yuan looked at Shen Yue.
Chen Yue said, "In the past, Prince Yiluo of Yanqi was captured by the Zoroastrians and was about to be killed, but Yiluo survived and ran back to Yanqi, and he also gained the support of many people to fight for the throne. As far as I know, he has some old acquaintances with Your Majesty and Your Majesty. Daxia sent troops to support the vassal state of Yanqi to establish a legitimate king, but General Zhao Wuxiu was busy cleaning up, so Your Majesty did it for him."
Fa Yuan frowned: "It's far-fetched, and will be criticized by the world!"
Shen Yue smiled: "It's an idea after all."
The King of Shu laughed and said, "Wenhe also told me that if we were to send troops, we could use this name instead of helping Zhao Wuxiu suppress the rebellion, because compared to that, the name of supporting a vassal state sounds better."
But after he finished speaking, the King of Shu continued, "But Fang Wenhe went on to say that if I simply wear the name of 'Lushan' and use the people of the Western Regions for my own benefit, it would actually be better, but my reputation would be very bad. But if I succeed, history will be written by me, and it doesn't matter who I am, Daxia will still be Daxia. If I fail, that doesn't matter either, because what the history books say has nothing to do with a dead man like me!"
Fa Yuan immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty! Be careful with your words!"
Shen Yue was unmoved and just looked at the King of Shu.
The King of Shu smiled and said, "I'm just telling you something. I just occasionally wonder if two people with the surname Xia fighting for the world is considered a rebellion."
Shen Yue said: “Forget it!”
The King of Shu laughed loudly, then stood up and looked at Chen Yue: "Uncle rebelling against his niece, this has never happened before in the world, Fayuan, go to the post station and wait for those Zoroastrians, tell them! This king will not send troops!"
Fa Yuan immediately bowed and turned to leave.
Shen Yue waited until Fa Yuan was far away, then looked at the King of Shu: “Your Majesty, this is not possible.”
King Shu looked at Shen Yue: "Have you guessed what I'm thinking?"
After Chen Yue bowed, he said, "One word difference makes a world of difference. Your Majesty, we have missed the best opportunity and now we have to wait a little longer."
King Shu looked at Chen Yue: "Waiting for news from Mobei?"
Chen Yue nodded: "Yes, according to the time of the news we got before, I am afraid that the news has already passed through the capital from Yandi to Liuzhou, and will soon enter Shu. Shuofang and Yandi will fight at the same time, and the victory or defeat will determine everything. Only then can we make a conclusion."
The King of Shu narrowed his eyes and smiled and asked, "What?"
Shen Yue only said one word, 'Get up. '
The King of Shu laughed immediately: "Ziyi, you and I have known each other for twenty years. I just said that there has never been such a rebellion between an uncle and his niece in the world!"
Shen Yue’s expression was stunned.
The King of Shu said, "Fang Wenhe wants me to be that Lushan! Because no one knows who Lushan is! So his meaning is, since that person won't come out, why not let me do it! True or false, whoever has a greater reputation will do it! And the army under my command is also the soldiers of Daxia. When the two armies face each other, whoever wins will be the real soldier of Daxia."
"Zhang Zi thinks that I can just start an army. There is no need to borrow the name of Lushan or something like that. In times of chaos, the winner will be the king. My origins and background will only be recorded in history books."
Chen Yue frowned as he looked at the King of Shu: "Mr. Zhang had this plan, but why did Mr. Fang..."
The King of Shu said, "Fang Wenhe saw through my thoughts. I asked Xiaowu to eliminate dissidents because I wanted to be that 'Lushan'. I have wanted the throne for many years."
Shen Yue looked at the King of Shu, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "Why did the prince change his mind?"
Because he knew the King of Shu, if he hadn't changed, he would have done it!
The King of Shu laughed and said, "I asked Tingyu a question, and I also asked Lao Er a question."
Shen Yue just looked at King Shu.
The King of Shu said, "I asked the second brother, if I gave him the position of Crown Prince, or even the throne, would he want it?"
Shen Yue frowned slightly.
The King of Shu said, "That child pretended to be timid in front of me and kept silent for a long time. Finally, he told the truth and said "yes"!"
King Shu looked at Chen Yue: "And I also asked Tingyu this question."
Shen Yue replied: "The eldest princess would not directly ask for it."
The King of Shu smiled and said, "She said that the throne is not important, she wants to control all the troops in Shu!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yue smiled and said, “That’s what the eldest princess would answer.”
But after he finished speaking, he saw the King of Shu laughing miserably, and couldn't help but ask: "Prince?"
The King of Shu raised his eyes and asked, "Do you remember that when we left the capital, Xia Huachang summoned me to the palace alone?"
Chen Yue nodded. They were very worried that the late emperor was going to kill the prince, but the prince came back intact, so they remembered it in their hearts.
The King of Shu said: "He told me some things about my father back then."
The King of Shu, who was still a prince at the time, and the late emperor were summoned separately by Emperor Zhao.
Emperor Zhao asked the King of Shu, "After giving you the title of Crown Prince, what else do you want?"
The King of Shu did not hide anything and was very happy to follow his father to learn. '
Emperor Zhao asked with a smile, "Learn to be an emperor?" Is the throne so important? '
The King of Shu did not hide anything, because he knew that his father hated beating around the bush the most, so it was better to be direct and straightforward, so he said, "As the son of the dragon, who doesn't want to be the crown prince, who doesn't want to sit on the throne." '
Speaking directly seems disrespectful.
But Emperor Zhaodi was so straightforward in his dealings with his sons. He didn't like the fact that someone was hesitant and couldn't say anything.
So his favorite was the King of Shu.
Emperor Zhao laughed at that time.
then
Emperor Zhao summoned the previous emperor and asked the same question.
The late emperor replied, "I do not want the throne." '
Emperor Zhao looked at the late emperor and asked, "Don't you want the position of crown prince?" What do you want then?'
The late emperor looked straight at Emperor Zhao and said, "Your son wants to control all the troops in the world!" '
Emperor Zhao fell silent as he looked at his son, who had always been the most capable of hiding himself.
It was also after that that Emperor Zhao went to the Taimiao.
Afterwards, the late emperor was officially named the crown prince.
The King of Shu was also officially enthroned in Shu.
The brutal and horrific fight for the Eastern Palace came to an end.
Shen Yue listened to the King of Shu telling this story and looked at the King of Shu.
The King of Shu said, "Control the troops. With troops in hand, what is the emperor? What are the officials? Xia Huachang saw it more clearly than I did at that time. If it were him now, do you believe he would have raised an army long ago?"
Shen Yue lowered his head, thinking of the appearance of the late emperor, and then said: "If the late emperor's life is in danger, he will, and will win over several other princes to rebel together."
The King of Shu laughed and said, "So, she gave birth to a daughter who is even more ruthless than him. She didn't harm my life at all, but let my only beloved daughter deal with me! Moreover, Fang Wenhe and Zhang Zi used me as a pawn, and that Lushan was also hiding under my command. The people from the Western Regions came, seemingly looking for me, but actually looking for him. They treated me as that idiot Xia Chenfeng! When I couldn't see it, I pretended not to see it and played with them!"
After hearing this, Shen Yue looked at the King of Shu and thought for a moment before saying, "My Lord, the eldest princess..."
King Shu looked at Chen Yue and smiled before saying, “Even you are starting to talk to Tingyu.”
Chen Yue was stunned and looked at the King of Shu: "My Lord, this is not what I meant, but..."
Seeing the King of Shu raise his hand, Shen Yue stopped abruptly.
The King of Shu said, "I want you to be the teacher of the second son."
Shen Yue was stunned and looked at the King of Shu.
But he didn't think much about it and bowed immediately: "I am willing to go!"
The King of Shu continued, "Then you go to Wang Mang's residence and tell him that his daughter, Wang Fuwei, is very good and a good match for the second son. Tingyu will come to ask for marriage on behalf of her brother."
Chen Yue looked at the King of Shu: "My Lord, what are you doing?"
At this point, Chen Yue bowed and said, "If this is the case, Shu will be in chaos again! And according to the eldest princess's personality, she will definitely disobey orders, because Wang Fuwei was deliberately deceived by the second prince to like the second prince. The eldest princess knows this, and the eldest princess hates it the most."
The King of Shu said, “What do you think I am doing by calling back Yan Yan, the last person to be transferred to Yizhou City?”
The King of Shu stood up, his hair disheveled, his eyebrows raised, and stood under the door frame, his dragon-like appearance revealed in the shadows: "Everyone says that I want to rebel. I do want to rebel, otherwise I would not have killed the little emperor and the queen! But when have I ever been controlled by others to rebel? That idiot Xia Chenfeng has brought shame to the Xia family. He thinks I am the second Xia Chenfeng? I, Xia Fengye, have my own glory for the Xia family! Ziyi, just do what I ask you to do! Shu is my Xia family's Shu, it belongs to me, Xia Fengye, how could I let my family be in chaos!"
Apart from the current appearance of the King of Shu, the huge dragon seemed to reveal its true form and was staring at Chen Yue behind the King of Shu in the door frame.
Chen Yue looked at the King of Shu and bowed deeply.
When Qin Ya and others left, Zhang Zi deliberately left and came back.
But he was standing in the lake and looking at Fang Wenhe by the lake: "The prince has no intention of raising an army, nor does he intend to use the name 'Lushan'."
Fang Wenhe replied: "I know."
Zhang Zi continued to look at Fang Wenhe: "The prince is not a fool, he must have seen many things, but he is just playing along with us."
Fang Wenhe still nodded, "I noticed that too."
Zhang Zi smiled and said, "What exactly are you planning to do? You want to destroy all your plans, but I can't tell if you're going to re-plan them. Or do you think Mobei will be destroyed by Daxia? Can Daxia return to its peak?"
Fang Wenhe looked at Zhang Zi and bowed with both hands: "Farewell, Senior Zhang."
Zhang Zi narrowed his eyes, and his figure became invisible in the mist.
Zhang Zi's three unique skills are footwork, energy-gathering skills, and energy-searching skills.
"I have sent people to Liuzhou and the capital to find out the news about Yandi. I want to see why you ruined the layout that you have worked so hard to build for so many years!"
The sound is lingering.
But Fang Wenhe was too lazy to pay attention and just turned around to look towards the room.
And the door was pushed open.
I saw Xia Tingyu lying barefoot on the floor.
Fang Wenhe saw this scene, smiled bitterly and shook his head, but looking at Xia Tingyu, Fang Wenhe asked: "What are you thinking about?"
Xia Tingyu sat up, her hair scattered on her shoulders: "Su Changan broke through the third level."
Fang Wenhe smiled and said, "Master said that you like the Queen."
Xia Tingyu made a prompt decision: "No!"
Fang Wenhe smiled bitterly: "When you lie, you always like to deny it first."
Xia Tingyu didn't know what to think when he heard this, and immediately said, "Then I am happy."
At this point, Xia Tingyu puffed up his cheeks like a child, and then in one breath he said to his master who was looking at him with a faint smile: "Master!"
Then Xia Tingyu shouted into the house: "Master! Look at my master!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a boot was thrown out from inside the house towards Fang Wenhe!
Fortunately, Fang Wenhe hid in time.
The old blind man walked out of the room with one bare foot, "You are so shameless, teasing your own disciple! What, it's wrong to like someone, your master liked Li Yunxian back then, not to mention that the queen was at the level of Li Yunxian! And she broke through the third level, wow, she broke through the step that I, the old blind man, dare not even hope for, in front of that big nose Dan Xian and that crazy girl Yunxiao. It makes me feel good just thinking about it."
Xia Tingyu immediately looked at the old blind man: "Grandmaster!!"
The old blind man held back his laughter and said to Fang Wenhe, "Go pick it up for me. You are so mean. You came up with a plan to let the King of Shu kill his own people. It won't hurt you, and your reputation won't be ruined. After all, you are the father of Ren Tingyu. Look at your senior brother, he is aboveboard. Look at you!"
Fang Wenhe rolled up his sleeves and was about to go to the lake to pick up the shoes, but when he heard what his master said, he muttered, "This is not all taught by you." '
Upon hearing this, the old blind man threw his other hand over!
