Chapter 669 Xu Shuo, a dog's resistance
Binghe Mansion, Youshan County.
Duke Dingguo Xu Shuo stationed his troops here and was in a very bad situation.
Ever since the Grand Princess pinned the crime of murdering Emperor Yongping on Prince Yan and the Xu family, Xu Shuo's life has been difficult.
On that day, after his mother, Old Lady Xu, died unexpectedly, he instinctively felt that it was not safe to stay in the capital, so he fled the capital as soon as possible and returned to Binghe Mansion. He gathered the troops that were defeated by the barbarians and set up camp in Youshan County.
He thought that he would be punished by the Xu family.
But who would have thought that the Xu Mansion would actually collapse.
The person who destroyed the Xu Mansion was his daughter-in-law, the Grand Princess.
Well, Xu Shuo knows his own business.
In his relationship with the Grand Princess, he was always at a disadvantage. Others thought he was very glorious to marry the princess, but few knew that in the eyes of the Grand Princess, he was worse than a dog.
With the fall of the Xu Mansion, Xu Shuo was no longer under pressure from the Xu Mansion, but he had to face a reality: the Grand Princess only needed to issue an order to completely bring him into the abyss.
However, Xu Shuo waited and waited, but never received this imperial edict.
But Xu Shuo did not relax, but was trembling with fear every day.
Three months after the new emperor ascended the throne, an imperial edict finally arrived in Youshan County.
Xu Shuo was appointed by the court as the Recruiting Envoy to preside over the war against the Human Dao Kingdom established by Jieyun Dao.
As for Xu Shuo's expeditionary army, it is the army stationed in Longcheng under the current control of Old Man Xu and Boss Xu.
This decree is extremely vicious!
Xu Shuo is Mr. Xu's father.
Once Xu Shuo brings his men to Longcheng, will Old Master Xu agree or not when facing Xu Shuo who comes to seize power?
No, if he is accused of being disloyal and unfilial, Mr. Xu’s reputation will be infamous forever.
But if Mr. Xu agreed, then the Xu family would lose its military power.
Without their army, the Xu family was like a toothless tiger, only scary to look at. Even the six northwestern prefectures already controlled by the Xu family could be easily brought under the control of the imperial court.
Xu Shuo, he is a good swordsman.
This knife is very blunt. If it really goes to the battlefield, it may not even be able to kill an ordinary captain, but this is just like the game of chess.
Even a small mouse can kill a ferocious elephant.
It is just like the saying goes, there is always something to conquer.
When the imperial edict arrived in Youshan County, Xu Shuo immediately understood what the Grand Princess meant.
"Bitch!"
"Damn it, shameless!"
After receiving the imperial edict, Xu Shuo's resentment towards the Grand Princess reached its peak.
However, he did not have the courage to resist.
Because resistance means death.
The so-called one night of marriage brings a hundred days of grace, which does not exist between Xu Shuo and the Grand Princess at all.
But if you don't resist, the result will still be death.
It is true that Xu Shuo is Mr. Xu's biological father, but Xu Shuo and his mother have done things that have wronged Mr. Xu's mother. He really has no feelings for Mr. Xu, his biological son.
Similarly, Xu Shuo also knew that his son had no feelings for his father.
Even if Mr. Xu handed over the military power to him and did not take action against him, he would be dealt with by the Grand Princess once he had lost his usefulness.
"My Lord, Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess has issued an order. The military situation is urgent. Please depart immediately!"
After Xu Shuo received the order, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict spoke with a forced smile.
Xu Shuo glanced coldly at the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict and said in a cold voice, "Are you telling me how to do things?"
"If the Duke wants to say so, then our family will not deny it!"
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict really didn't take Duke Dingguo Xu Shuo seriously. "Oh, I forgot to tell the Duke that our family is the supervisor of the army!"
The military inspector had no power to interfere in the war, but he could give orders to Xu Shuo.
Even if the military supervisor feels that the commander-in-chief is not doing his job, he can even directly seize the commander-in-chief's power to command the troops.
When the Tang Dynasty was first established, there was no military supervisor.
No one knows when, but the imperial court suddenly created the position of military inspector.
When the Prince of Yan was stationed in the northwest military camp of Longxi Prefecture, Emperor Yongping also sent a eunuch to supervise the army. However, the supervisor was very sensible and never asked about the Prince of Yan's actions.
Xu Shuo looked at the eunuch in front of him with a gloomy look, and said with a twitch of his lips, "Military Supervisor? Wait until this Duke takes office as the Recruiting Envoy, and then you can come and give him orders, you bitch!"
"Now, in this Youshan County, you are nothing!"
After realizing that he might not have long to live, Xu Shuo's thoughts changed in an instant.
He was a coward all his life, and for a little bit of luck, he even lost his own wife.
What is he trying to do?
Xu Shuo never figured out what he was doing all his life.
He had a virtuous first wife, but he did not cherish her.
He had a very outstanding son, but he chose to abandon him.
He should have been a superior person, but he ended up living like a dog.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
My life is really a joke!
Xu Shuo couldn't help but burst into laughter.
His loud laughter frightened the eunuch who came to deliver the imperial edict.
"Come here, drag this damned eunuch out to this prince and behead him in public!"
Xu Shuo suddenly threw the imperial edict in his hand to the ground.
Since I am destined to have no good ending, why should I let others control me?
The court?
The eldest princess?
I'm not afraid of death now!
You still want to scare me with death?
I won’t serve you anymore!
The guards of the Xu Mansion who were guarding outside heard Xu Shuo's shout and immediately strode in. Without any hesitation, they dragged the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict out and chopped off his head in a short while.
Now in Youshan County, Xu Shuo is the supreme ruler.
Even the county magistrate of Youshan County had to behave himself in front of Xu Shuo.
The garrison troops of Youshan County were incorporated from the day Xu Shuo moved into the county.
As for Binghe Prefecture, it is far away from the capital, and it is truly a place where the emperor is far away.
Xu Shuo has military power, so everything is under his control.
…
When the imperial court sent such an edict to Youshan County, Zhao Bingzhao also received the news in Ningyuan City, hundreds of miles away from Youshan County.
"Brother, it's time to get rid of that scumbag!"
Zhao Bingzhao delivered the latest news to Zhao Bingjun, "If we let this scum live, he might become a pawn of the imperial court to deal with our nephew!"
"So, I think we should send him down to apologize to Big Sister!"
Zhao Bingzhao had wanted to kill Xu Shuo a long time ago. If his elder brother had not stopped him, the grass on Xu Shuo's grave would have been three feet high.
“No rush!”
Zhao Bingjun smiled slightly, "I want to see what choice he will make when he sees this imperial decree."
"If he has any intentions towards Huaiyi, then just send him on his way!"
Suddenly I found that the double monthly ticket system has started again. What’s important is participation, so let’s ask for monthly tickets too!
