Chapter one hundred and ninety first day

On the second day of the New Year, heavy snow in Chang'an City was still falling, and there was no sign of wanting to stop.

Outside Chang'an City, a master and servant came in a carriage, dusty, as if coming from a very far place.

"Master, are we really going to participate in this incident?"

Su Qin smiled, lifted the curtain, and looked at Baishui who was driving a train outside, "Baishui, we are here for the New Year, and we are coming from King Cheng, not here to see the scenery. What happened in Chang'an City has caught many vassal kings off guard. They all thought about finding out the direction of Chang'an City as soon as possible before they could figure out what to do next."

Baishui waved his braid in his hand, and the old horse was walking forward in the wind and snow, "Master, didn't Mr. Zhang write to him that he planned this matter?"

Su Qin pointed Bai Shui's head with his hand. "You really believe what Zhang Yi said. He can't control such a big situation far away in Liangzhou, so someone else is in charge of the overall situation."

Bai Shui nodded, not understanding, “Master, what are we going to do this trip?”

"Go to meet the man who messed up the muddy waters."

Bai Shui seemed to have thought of something, "Oh! So, the master knows who was the one who presided over this incident in Chang'an City?"

Su Qin smiled and said, "That's right."

"Then can you tell me who it is?"

Su Qin kept it a secret and did not answer Baishui's question, "When you arrive at Chang'an City, you will see it."

Bai Shui said lightly, then stopped asking, rushed to the car with peace of mind, and tried to enter Chang'an City before noon.

Daming, Liangzhou.

Compared to the emperor sitting in Chang'an City, the one familiar to the people of Liangzhou is King Liang, yes, King Liang, not King Liang.

Why is the vassal king of Liangzhou the King of Liang? This starts when Taizu conferred the vassal kings.

The King of Liang was named Wei Mu. He started his family very late. When Taizu almost destroyed most of the countries in the Spring and Autumn Period, the King of Liang officially entered everyone's sight. The most famous battle was to lead more than a thousand cavalry alone, travel day and night, raid the Shu Kingdom at that time, and captured all of their Shu Kingdom and brought them to Chang'an City. With this contribution, he was named King of Liang. For a long time, he had been feeding horses to Taizu.

The generals at that time knew that he was named King Liang, and they were all dissatisfied. The old men who had been with Taizu were still just generals. Why could he become a vassal king directly if he destroyed the Western Shu?

So when he was granted the title of the vassal king, the generals fought in front of Taizu. Taizu had no choice but to change Liang to Liang King, which was also a humiliation to Wei Mu. Then the generals pinched their noses and agreed to this matter. However, why Taizu protected Wei Mu like this became a secret in everyone's heart. No one knew it, but he could only guess it himself. It was said that Wei Mu was Taizu's illegitimate son, and that Wei Mu was Taizu's brother. He said that everything was said at that time, but neither Taizu nor Wei Mu came out to explain it, allowing the rumors to spread.

After Wei Mu entered the vassal state, the rumors disappeared automatically.

Daming, Liangzhou.

After so many years of development in the Ming Dynasty, the northern border was divided into three states, Liangzhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou. These three states are large

The land directly bordering the Ming Dynasty and Northern Qi was also the area that was most severely harassed by Northern Qi cavalry. Among them, Youzhou, which was not under the command of King Qi, was the most painful. Instead, Liangzhou, which had King Liang, did not dare to harass too much.

As we all know, King Liang had no son. In his early years, he had a daughter who was talented and well-versed in military tactics, but died at the age of eighteen, which made King Liang turn white in an instant.

Fortunately, after a period of grief, King Liang walked out and accepted the son of an old brother who died in battle on the battlefield, that is, Zhao An in white who was talked about.

This person was not famous in his early years and was unknown. It was not until he was accepted as his adopted son by King Liang that he officially entered people's vision?

At the junction of the Ming Dynasty, Liangzhou and Tingzhou, there was a team of people walking slowly.

All the guards were well-equipped imperial guards, guarding a carriage and heading towards Liangzhou. Not far away, they walked out of Tingzhou and officially entered Liangzhou.

The closer he was to Liangzhou, the more his eyelids were twitching. The eunuch was an old man who had been in the palace for many years. This time he came to Liangzhou to issue an order, but to make a good contribution before he was about to get out of his position. Then, with the credit, even if he had no children, he could enjoy his old age without leaving his current position and be bullied. In contrast, Yan Zhiwei had a much relaxed expression, put his hands on his legs, Yan Zhiwei took a look, and the eunuch who was restless beside him, and asked, "Eunuch Zhao, are you okay?"

The imperial edict was placed inside the sleeves, obviously not good, but he could only say with a tough bullet and said, "Mr. Yan, our family is fine."

Yan Zhiwei obviously didn't believe it. He touched his beard, looked at Eunuch Zhao's trembling legs, and smiled and said, "Eunuch Zhao, aren't you nervous?"

Eunuch Zhao shook his head, "I'm not nervous, our family has seen the world. A decree can scare me, but Lord Yan, you, the imperial envoy, will not be very easy to have a trip."

Yan Zhiwei laughed at it, "Eunuch Zhao is still in the mood to worry about me, so why not think about whether you can live when King Liang receives the imperial edict."

"Yan Zhiwei, you!" Eunuch Zhao was obviously very angry, but he was helpless in the face of Yan Zhiwei. Everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew that Yan Zhiwei's son-in-law was Zheng Huaixian, the ten people in the world. In fact, in the eyes of those qi-cultivators, Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, each family has more or less at least two or three saints, but there is only one Zheng Huaixian, and the Taoist master and the great master of the Taoist temple were all Huang Wen. The old master who ascended before was not counted. In addition, the old Taoist priest and the great gentleman in Wudang Mountain have reached four saints. As for Buddhism, for so many years, there were only two people who were the old host of Jie Chen and the Big Buddha Temple.

Although this is not in line with common sense, people in the Three Deeds also acknowledged this fact, because all this was done by the old fortune-telling Taoist, so people from the Three Deeds saw Jia Zhen, and Buddhism was fine, but they just ignored it. As for Confucianism and Taoism, they would be beaten up when they encountered it, which was the only point they agreed with.

So, at that time, Zheng Huaixian took action to chase Jia Zhen and ran for a long time.

Yan Zhiwei knew that these things were all told by Zheng Huaixian. At that time, Yan Zhiwei was just listening, but recalling them.

Zheng Huaixian left Chang'an City for the last time and said to himself, "It's understandable that the emperor wanted to reduce the vassal states, but have you ever thought about why he didn't touch the strongest King of Yan, or the most mysterious King Cheng, to touch the King of Liang. Don't say that you don't know the relationship between King of Liang and their Li family, it's not an exaggeration to say that King of Liang is a royal relative."

Yan Zhiwei sighed slightly. As an old man in the court, he knew more or less why Taizu wanted to make Wei Mu king. The most critical reason was that Wei Mu was the son of Taizu's uncle. Even the generals in the court did not know this. Yan Zhiwei knew this because only Yan Zhiwei stood up and said something to Wei Mu, "They led a thousand cavalry to destroy Western Shu. If you have the ability, you will also lead a thousand cavalry to destroy other countries."

Yan Zhiwei remembered this sentence very clearly. When Wei Mu left Luoyang, he only asked Yan Zhiwei for drinks, and the rest of the people didn't even look at him.

The closer the carriage was to Liangzhou, Yan Zhiwei kept thinking about the wine jars in the middle of the night, and Wei Mu who did not walk through the main entrance of his house, climbed over the wall to find him to drink.

Eunuch Zhao now doesn't want anything, and he wants to leave the money of King Liang. Now Eunuch Zhao doesn't even dare to think about it. Because on the border between Tingzhou and Liangzhou, a cavalry appeared, densely packed and endlessly on the horizon in the distance.

Eunuch Zhao touched the imperial edict inside her sleeve, subconsciously swallowed, and opened the curtain. Eunuch Zhao could see clearly that this was the famous Liangzhou cavalry.

Yan Zhiwei touched his beard and just smiled faintly. The relationship between the court and any vassal king was not good, and there were no exceptions.

Among the Liangzhou cavalry, there was a white robe general holding a square painting halberd and holding a white horse with his legs. The white horse walked out happily and ran towards the imperial guards.

The imperial guards instantly drew their swords, held the weapons in their hands, and watched the white-robed general come over.

This white-robed general is Zhao An, who was terrified of the Northern Qi Dynasty in the past ten years, after the death of King Qi, and was the adopted son of King Liang.

Zhao An rode a white horse and came to the imperial guards. He ignored these nervous-looking imperial guards. Xue Zhongqing in his hand turned around and put it in front of him, and slowly said: "I'm Zhao An, can Lord Yan Zhiwei be there?"

Yan Zhiwei, who was sitting in the carriage, laughed, got up and walked out of the carriage, lifted the curtain, looked at Zhao An standing in front of the team, Yan Zhiwei put his hands on his back and smiled, "I am Yan Zhiwei, you are Zhao An."

When Zhao An heard that the person coming was Yan Zhiwei, he nodded and said, "Mr. Yan, the adoptive father is welcome."

In the carriage, Eunuch Zhao, who was responsible for sending the imperial edict, heard that Yan Zhiwei was about to be invited away by King Liang, and hurriedly ran out and said loudly: "Mr. Yan, no, you leave, I can't pass on this imperial edict."

Yan Zhiwei smiled, but looked at Zhao An, touching his beard and not talking. Zhao An didn't speak, squinted his eyes, and didn't know whether he was looking at the eunuch who was sending the order or Yan Zhiwei.

Before the old eunuch could say anything, the Liangzhou cavalry not far away began to charge and came towards this side.
