Xu You's current situation is very subtle.

He was born into a family, but his family was destroyed. He was alone. Except for the queen, no tribe can rely on. Relatively speaking, the threat of lethality He Ru was relatively small. However, he was in a high position and had soldiers under his command, which was an important force that no one could ignore.

This contradiction between origin and status allows Xu You to wander between all parties calmly without being suspicious. Just as he has a good relationship with the four surnames of Yangzhou, if he puts it on others, it may make other relevant parties stay away from him, but if it is on Xu You, the other party will think, can I do what the four surnames of Yangzhou do?

Therefore, after careful consideration, Yu Shi agreed to Xu You's request. If a war broke out against Xiliang, in order to maintain the stability of the political situation in the court and the opposition, the emperor had only two choices, either to deal with the Xiao family with thunder to shock Yu and Liu, or to make concessions, to make a side of the Xiao family and to substantively appease the two families.

It is related to the survival of the family. If you work with Xu You, you can remove the shit pot that has been linked with six days, ensuring that the emperor makes certain concessions. Why should you fight with the emperor at the risk of being suppressed? What's more, Xu You proposed the conditions for the four major clans to join the war. In the short term, it is to tie the surnames to his chariot to avoid someone quarreling in the rear after going out, which will delay the opportunity for the war. But in the long run, it is more beneficial to the clans, which can not only make military achievements, discover and train talents, but also establish good relations with the newly emerging military. Why not do it?

As for money?

Things that can be solved with money are nothing!

So when Teng Ziling, the Tingshima Mansion personally came to the Xu Mansion to hand over, Xu You had no choice but to tell him that the prisoners he caught last night had been seriously injured and died, and the clues were cut off. There was no evidence to investigate. Could it be that Xu You's words were really a surgery on the entire Xiao clan, Yu and Liu? Teng Ziling looked at Xu You. He had no words to comfort him. The situation was unclear, so he had to wait and see. For him, who came from a poor family and had been at the bottom for too long, he was slow to stand in the team and could not eat meat at most, but he had to stand in the wrong way too quickly. If he had lost his head to eat, it would be too late to regret it.

When Tengziling was sent away, when the sun set, the Northern Wei army newspaper that Xu You had been waiting for for a long time finally sent people to deliver it to him by the Winter Solstice. At the same time, Cang Chu and 300 guards came. When they heard that they were assassinated, Cang Chu widened his eyes and cursed that he wanted to tear out six days of corpses. Then he took over the defense of Changganli from Zhan Wenjun. The three hundred guards passed through the battle on the Qingxu battlefield. They had seen blood and were not afraid of death. They were strict military disciplines and well-equipped. They were also the confidant who had been following Xu You for many years. That night, they had the iron barrels of the mansion. Without an elite force of one or two thousand people, they could not attack at all.

Xu You read the military newspapers, mostly expected things. After discussing with He Ru, several smart and capable servants disappeared from the mansion to the prosperity and noise of Jinling with the famous letters of General Cavalry.

The next day, the court discussed that the case of Xu You's assassination was transferred to the Tingwei Office to continue to investigate and no longer mention anything else. As if the confession of the prisoner mentioned yesterday did not exist, everyone chose to forget it. Then Li Song, the Minister of the Great Honglu, heard the remarks and said that the Lord of Liang Yao Jin submitted a letter again and asked the Chu court for his reply to the earlier alliance. The Great Honglu could not dedicate himself, so he asked the court to discuss a charter.

Li Songwen was in charge of the Grand Grand Revenue, and he formally proposed the proposal, which was in line with the regulations of the court, and was more intelligent than Xu You's direct consequences. Xie Xiwen immediately expressed his opposition, with the reasons that were nothing more than what he had told Xu You. He stared at Li Songwen with a disheveled expression. He had brought such a major event to the court for public discussion without being reviewed by the Shangshutai.

The Great Honglu began to take charge of diplomatic affairs since the Han Dynasty, and the Shangshutai, which was also responsible for diplomacy, implemented a dual-track system. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the power of the Great Honglu decreased and gradually became the Zuo Cao of the Shangshutai, but it was still one of the full-time diplomatic institutions.

The Five Military Secretary Lu Guiyan immediately took out the battle reports about the Northern Wei and Rouran that he had just received in the early morning. The war demise, seizure, losses, and the mainstream perception of war between the Wei State inside and outside the Wei court. The content was detailed and the ministers of the court were all looking at each other. In the past, when the Sili Mansion was in the Sili Mansion, it was not difficult to obtain information from the Northern Wei, but such details were rare. Moreover, the Sili Mansion has been abolished now. How can the military obtain such war reports? It is really curious.

However, this is a secret of the military. The emperor did not ask, and they were not qualified to ask.

Tao Jiang said: "Is it true?"

Tan Xiaozu said: "It's true! Although the Suolu wins, there are heavy casualties. The most elite tiger patterned equipment is completely lost. 267 counties in 32 counties in the five prefectures and 32 counties were robbed by Rouran. If the Wei Ting does not have powerful measures, at least 30,000 to 100,000 people will starve to death this winter..."

An Xiuming couldn't bear it when he heard this, but after all, the power of the Suolu was greatly damaged, which was of great benefit to the State of Chu. He did not say anything nonsense like pitying the suffering of the people. He turned to Gu Huaiming and said, "What about the Ministry of Revenue's estimate?"

Gu Huaiming replied: "According to the preliminary estimates of the Ministry of Revenue, the Soluo will not be able to recover to the strength of the end of last year within five years, and will not be able to bear the needs of food, grass, soldiers and soldiers for another large-scale war."

Zhu Lixi said: "If the Western Expedition was held, Wei Ting's intervention would be limited to the land of Yuzhou at most, and would not set off a decisive battle between the two sides. This is a good opportunity for God, please make a decision early."

An Xiulin hesitated and looked at Xu You. Xu You looked at his eyes and nose, and still did not express his opinion directly like the last court discussion. Xie Xiwen said: "What will happen to the Suolu? I am not sure now. But if the country is really out, Yuan Guang is the invincible commander again. Who can fight against my great Chu?"

His eyes swept over, and most of the civil and military officials in the court avoided and dared not look directly. Since Yuan Guang led the army, Wei State's overall strategy has failed many times, but he has never lost a local battle. He is a grandmaster and his martial power is extremely powerful. An Zidao made three northern expeditions, and almost all the generals who fought with Yuan Guang were killed in battle. It can be said that it is the biggest shadow of the Chu State.

Xue Xuanmo said: "Yuan Guang went to war for thousands of miles this time, slaughtered all the Rouran Khan Court, and solved the danger of Pingcheng. The people called Moonlight Bodhisattva, and their reputation was unparalleled. If he was smart, he handed over military power or saved his life. If he did not know how to advance and retreat, Yuan Yu was not a benevolent lord and would not be able to tolerate him. How could he give him another chance to lead the army and fight against Da Chu?"

The religious worship of the Northern Wei Dynasty was relatively complicated. Although Buddhism is the national religion now, the first sacrifices are the heaven, earth, sun, moon, five stars, etc., so there is no need to mention the heaven and earth. The five stars of the sun, moon, Chen, Taibai, Yinghuo, Sui Star, and Zhenxing. The "Shangshu? Yaodian" records that "in Xuanji Yuheng, Qi Qi of the Seven Politics", so it is also collectively called the Seven Politics, also known as the Seven Politics.

Among them, the sun and the moon are the head, the sun is the master of yang, and the moon is the clan of yin. "The Book of Rites? Sacrifice" says: "The sun comes from the east and the moon comes from the west. The length of yin and yang are the same, and the ends and ends are the harmony of the world." Therefore, the worship of the moon god in the Northern Wei Dynasty was beyond imagination. Since the founding of the country of Wei, four altars were built outside Pingcheng, the vernal equinox worship of the sun, the summer solstice worship of the earth, the autumn equinox worship of the moon, and the winter solstice worship of the sky.

Yuanguang, whose name is Mingyue, was called Moonlight Bodhisattva, has been pushed to the throne of the Moon Altar. But the emperor is also a god, and the country has no two masters. How can the two gods and immortals be compatible?

Xie Xiwen frowned and said, "Although Yuan Yu is not a benevolent master, he is a rare hero in the Sect. How could he destroy the Great Wall by himself?"

Zhang Ji, the chief censor, said coldly: "The Emperor Daxing is also the hero. However, when he killed him, he was accused of injustice from all over the world. The Wei people ridiculed the southerners for destroying the Great Wall, and the younger son was unscrupulous. What's more, Yuan Yu?"

As soon as this statement was made, everyone was shocked. The Censorate was responsible for giving advice, but Zhang Ji's words were still too scary. The He family had long been dead, and you and He Fangming had no friendship. How dare you attack the late emperor like this and embarrass the present?

Tan Xiaozu's heart moved slightly, subconsciously trying to look at Xu You, but he was so calm that he immediately held back, lowered his head, and his fingers trembled gently in the sleeves of the robe.

It has been forty years. Is it really possible for He Fangming’s case to be turned over?

Wei Buqu refuted: "He Fangming planned a rebellion case? After being tried by many parties, the verdict was finalized. The evidence was conclusive and there was no omission. Most of the people who complained about the wronged were foolish people in the countryside, and they heard from him and were far-fetched, so there was criticism. The Chief Secretary gave the impeachment case and stated that the old scriptures were really worthy of the emperor. How could he make such a bad voice like those foolish people?"

Zhang Ji said angrily: "At that time, the Sili Mansion was rampant, and the law was built on the pen, and did not follow the imperial edict; the prison was completed by the disciples, and he ignored the news. How could the evidence be conclusive? Wei Shizhong, you serve the emperor and go to the palace, and you are extremely noble and noble when you hear about the government affairs. However, if a minister is indestructible, you should try your best to advise, and you should not ignore your conscience and only say Qu Mei's words!"

Wei Buqu has always been proud. When has he been contradicted like this? He said angrily: "How has the Lord ever lost his virtue? If the Chief Secretary does not explain it clearly today, I will impeach you for disrespect!"

"In front of the Lord, there is no need for you to impeach!" Zhang Ji knelt in the middle of the hall and said, "I ask Your Majesty to be the one who is responsible for re-examination of He Fangming's case. If there is any injustice, you should pursue the reinstatement of the official, change the funeral with courtesy, and seek the followers, and inherit the incense. If there is no injustice, you will tell all the people to extinguish criticism and make great contributions to the emperor."

"This..." An Xiulin was a little stunned. Isn't it a matter of discussing the Western Expedition? Why did he get involved in He Fangming's case? "Chief Zhong got up first. I don't know much about this case. I'll discuss it after asking if there is a department."

Zhang Ji refused to let go and said, "Your Majesty governs the country with benevolence and filial piety. What is benevolence? Restraining oneself and returning rituals is benevolence, and benevolence is self-righteous. How can one be the one who is the one who is involved in the matter? Who dares to speak out in a blunt way if there is a minister? Please make your Majesty arbitrary decision and make a clear re-examination!"

Tao Jiang's face was gloomy and called out his name, saying, "Zhang Ji, what are you thinking about? What does the old case from forty years ago have to do with what you are discussing today? Could it be that you are a family of families and have many people with the same spirits and dare to threaten the emperor? Do you think it is Emperor Xian of Han now?"

Zhang Ji smiled disdainfully, took off his head and hat, put it next to his left hand, and said calmly: "I am a state affairs, and I am not against others. I am a criticism of others, and I am not against others. I have many words about poisonous plots that I cannot bear to listen to. I am really a villain. I am ashamed of being in the same court with the villain. If Your Majesty thinks that I am unpredictable and I am willing to resign and return home, but how can I understand the case involving the reputation of the late emperor? If I do not give an explanation, how can I remember the late emperor? The master, if my father fights for his son, he will not fall into unrighteousness. Therefore, if you should fight for unrighteousness, then you will fight for it. Follow the father's orders, how can I be filial?"

An Xiulin was very troubled. Zhang Ji was in charge of Lantai. It was his duty to advise him. If he was punished for this, he would become a fool. He glanced over Xu You and saw that he was sitting upright, but he still didn't speak. He looked at Xie Xiwen. Xie Xiwen actually didn't take Zhang Ji seriously. He Fangming was destroyed. Moreover, forty years have passed, and it is meaningless to overturn the case. He just suppressed the opposition with Yuanguang, and did not want to cause trouble. He was in rushing to bring the issue back on track. He said: "What Zhang Zhongcheng said is also somewhat reasonable. This case has indeed caused great criticism among the people. If you investigate it thoroughly, you can explain it to the superiors and subordinates."

Xie Xiwen agreed, then there was no objection. An Xiulin stepped down from the throne, helped Zhang Ji up with his own hands, and praised: "You are in the court with seriousness, and your loyalty is very strong, and it is my Yang Zhen. This case will be handed over to the Tingwei Office and the Censorate to handle it together. If you are really wronged, I will give He a fairness!"

"Thank you Your Majesty! Your Majesty's wiseness!"

Zhang Ji returned to his seat, and his back was already wet. He smiled bitterly: If it weren't for his daughter, why should I work hard to be driven by Xu You? Alas, I feel sorry for my parents in the world!

After solving Zhang Ji's sudden nerves, Xie Xiwen continued to oppose the dispatch of troops. At this time, Xu You, who had not expressed his opinion, suddenly spoke, saying: "I wonder what the Secretary of the Central Secretariat and the Secretary of the People's Republic of China think about the Western Expedition?"

Xie Xiwen was stunned for a moment, and a warning echoed in his heart. Yu Shi stood up tremblingly, coughed up his old phlegm first, and said, "I think that if Your Majesty wants to unite the north and the south and become a foundation for all generations, the Western Expedition is inevitable; if Your Majesty wants to settle in a corner, then there is no need to worry about the ownership of Liang Kingdom. Enjoyment is enough for the twenty-two states in Jiangdong!"

An Xiulin was suddenly shocked, and it seemed that a string was touched in his mind. First, the confrontation between the small bridge and the flowing water, and then the rumbling of the yellow bell from the nine heavens.

The Secretary of the Central Committee, Liu Ning, stood up and said, "I will discuss it!"

Xu You got up and left the seat, walked to Zhang Ji's seat just now and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, thank you for stopping the Western Expedition. Even if there are thousands of reasons, I only have one reason: if you want to raise the Xia, the land of Guanlong will fight for death even if you die!"

Tan Xiaozu stood up, knelt behind Xu You, and said, "I will discuss it!"

Yuan Can, Zhang Huai, Zhu Li, Gu Huaiming, Zhang Ji and others also knelt behind and said, "I will discuss it!"

Then there were a hundred officials above the fifth rank and above who were attached to Yu, Liu, Yuan, Gu, Lu, Zhu, Zhang and other clans, knelt on the ground in a dense manner and said, "I will discuss it!"

Xie Xiwen's expression changed slightly and suddenly felt weak all over. Only then did he truly realize that the power of the aristocratic family was far from that of him, a poor Shangshu Pushe, who could compete with him. He only relied on the emperor, but when the emperor no longer supported him, he actually had nothing, and he was not even as good as the guardians of the palace gate.

An Xiulin knew that he could not hesitate anymore, so he issued an edict decisively, saying: "Okay, I ordered Xu You to be the general, hold the rituals, open the government to establish an assistant, coordinate the matters of the Western Expedition, and from the central army to the governor's offices of various states, they all obeyed the orders for recruitment."

Xu You leaned over and bowed and said, "My memory, obey the order!"
Chapter completed!
