King Zhao hesitated and said, "Sir, you should know that there are more than 300 teeth generals in my mansion, and three imperial guards, Liu Guangsi, Zhao Zhiyuan, Lin Zhien, and the six battalions of the wing army are all waiting?"

"I know." Li Gu came back to his senses and said seriously: "How can you make a joke about such a big thing? In this situation, Your Highness's best strategy is to truly control Fuzhou Prefecture in the shortest time as I said, and you can even take the opportunity to kill Xu Zixian, the Marquis of Nan'an who is still in the city!"

This time, King Zhao was really moved. Under the shadow of the lamp, his face looked dark and unclear, and it was hard to tell.

If the identity of King Zhao is something that can cause him a headache? In addition to the identity of King Qi, whose status is comparable to that of himself and whose strength and reputation is above him, Xu Zixian is the one who causes him the most headache.

"Your Highness, there is something big."

A military officer from the royal palace almost staggered in, his expression so panicked that his whole face was twisted.

"What happened?" Although King Zhao was also calm, he was still calm and shouted, "Look at what you look like?"

"The little one is guilty." King Zhao has always believed in the need of strict governance of the army, so the military laws in his family are quite strict, even to the point of being unkind. This also makes the generals of the King Zhao's mansion very afraid of authority, but they are cautious in their work and no one wants to take responsibility.

Just like Xu Ziwen ordered a fight, no one was willing to obey the orders, this situation was too common in the Zhao Palace.

After half-kneeling and apologizing, the military officer clasped his fists and reported: "Before and after the upstairs, the main gate of the Qi Palace suddenly opened. There were more than a thousand generals of the wing army, surrounded by the King of Qi sitting on his shoulders and came out of the palace. Hundreds of torches were beaten, which made His Highness the King of Qi very obvious. There were tens of thousands of people along the way who saw it very clearly. Many people came forward to bow and salute to the King of Qi. The King of Qi returned the salute, and then went all the way to the Execution Envoy."

King Zhao's heart almost sank to the bottom of the valley, and his eyes were almost spitting out of fire.

Li Gu's face seemed calm and seemed calm, but in fact his eyes also showed panic.

Originally, I thought that King Qi would not be able to get up even if he was not dead, but reality quickly slapped Li Gu in the face.

"Go to the Execution Office..." Li Gu thought nervously. His words were related to his life and death, and for King Zhao, it was even more related to the layout of the past ten years. If he was disappointed with Li Gu, he would be a good ending once Li Gu died... It would be great if he didn't implicate his family.

Li Gu was anxious and had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he quickly said, "If the King of Qi wants to tear apart, he will definitely order all the troops and horses, and then rush to the Pacification Envoy Office, join Lin Douyao, and tell Zheng Liqi and Yang Shiwei. Then, he led the officials to the First Army, gathered the troops and horses, and the whole city was martial law, and investigated Liu Guangsi's whereabouts. Then, no matter whether Liu Guangsi was in the Zhao Palace or not, he would go to the palace to force us to hand over the people, and then accidentally had a conflict, causing the soldiers to accidentally kill and injured His Highness... This is the best way. Now he went to the Criminal Envoy Office, which was nothing more than poisoning. Please investigate the Criminal Envoy Office... This is a signal to us. This matter is not counted as Liu Guangsi, but a mystery. Since it is a mystery, there is no suspicion, naturally there is no way to arrest Liu Guangsi..."

Li Gu was sweating heavily, but his expression was quite relaxed. He chuckled and shook his head, and said, "His Highness King Qi has always been a bit pedantic, but he never expected it to be so pedantic... We have already taken his life, so he still considered putting the overall situation first... I don't know if I should admire or despise it?"

"Admiration." King Zhao looked complicated and slowly sat back on the chair, saying, "King Qi is going to make a deal with us. He tried not to let me dominate the family, or Lin Douyao took advantage of it, so he didn't ask Lin Douyao to join forces to fight with me. This is the most important reason..."

No matter what, King Zhao still understood and realized King Qi's intention.

How did the King of Qi love the people and be kind? He was still a royal family at heart and a descendant of Emperor Taizu. In such a stormy period, if he fought with King Zhao because of anger, the King of Qi would obviously not live long, and finally left a huge power vacuum, how could he fill it?

Depend on which dukes and more than ten clan marquises?

Isn't this a joke?

The prince of the royal family was transferred from Jiangling to come over. He had no foundation in Fujian. Everything started from scratch. How could he fight with Lin Douyao, who had mastered the military and political power of Fujian?

The two governments must also support the pacification envoy, rather than letting the royal family grow bigger.

The power and status of the royal family have always been a kind of gamble, subtle and balanced. In the entire Wei Dynasty, except for the emperor in the capital, the royal family has a certain real power and status, nothing more than Jiangling and Fuzhou.

This is the national policy that the Great Wei has been in operation for more than 200 years. The task of being placed in the comfort envoys of Jiangling and Fuzhou is to make a good balance, try to suppress the royal family, infringe on the power of the royal family, limit the royal family to obtain more wealth, and ensure that the local government should try to maintain balance and stability.

For more than two hundred years, the appeasement envoys had always done a good job, and the court also tried its best to select the most capable appeasement envoys to Fuzhou or Jiangling.

As a pacifier in these two places, as long as you make achievements, you are most likely to enter the two governments directly...

This is the main reason why Lin Douyao has always wanted to enter the two palaces.

If King Qi and King Zhao were both injured, the two palaces and Lin Douyao would not be polite. No matter how fierce the civil servants fight, they would have ambitions to restrict the royal family and would not have any conflicts or disputes.

Just like civil servants suppressing military officers, they have no good feelings for the royal family.

King Zhao didn't need to think too much about it and knew the intention of King Qi. If it was during the Chengping period, it might as well call the pacifier to gain power for the time being. Anyway, the general trend is there, and there are many royal families in Fuzhou, and sooner or later, outstanding people will come out to clean up the situation and regain the lost territory.

But at this time, the country will change, and it is more important for local royal families to hold real power. This is where the King of Qi takes into account the overall situation. He would rather die by himself and King Zhao control more, but he would use this matter to stabilize his basic foundation and not ask King Zhao to take it away smoothly. During this period, he would leave it to Lin Douyao. Both sides still have the power to check and balance each other, and neither of them can dominate.

Li Gu also thought of King Qi's intention, and his expression changed, and then he smiled bitterly.

If King Qi made such a arrangement, his advice just now would be nothing.

Unless you take a big risk and turn Fuzhou into ruins, what is the point of fighting for this?

The court must be furious, and both sides fought hard. In the current situation, which side wins, the court admits that it is. If both sides demolish Fuzhou and Fujian Road are furious, is it really the court made by mud?

It is now the 14th year of Chongde, and the Wei Dynasty still has the ability to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to fight the Northern Expedition!

"We can't say at all that there is nothing..." King Zhao leaned back and said very tiredly: "Let Liu Guangsi go and perform a play."

"Well, I'll go out and explain it to him." Li Gu looked embarrassed, and he clasped his fists and bowed his face.

"I call Zhao Zhiyuan, Lin Zhien, and if there are any orders in the appeasement envoy tomorrow, no one will violate the order."

Li Gu said: "If so..."

"It is impossible to change." King Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at the confidant adviser and said, "If there is any change, it will not be too late for us to make another move."

Li Gu said with a little hesitation: "The King of Qi's arrangement is not that simple."

"It's not purely for state affairs..." King Zhao said: "Our royal family knows each other best, and it's all else. The King of Qi's current arrangement is mostly for the successor in his heart. In another ten or eight years, he can take over the power he left behind and become the next King of Qi."

"What the king is talking about Nan'an Hou Xu Zixian?"

"Who else can you be except him?" King Zhao showed a stern look on his face, and he said hatefully: "Can King Qi make such a hard work, can it be for me?"

There was a strong sense of reluctance and resentment in King Zhao's words. I just said it, but the resentment in my heart could no longer be suppressed.

That old man, since King Zhao came to Fujian, has been wary of everything and suppressing him, which has made King Zhao unable to stretch. Now he has been poisoned and doesn't know how long he can live, but he is struggling to make plans and is still guarding against King Zhao. He would rather support Xu Zixian than support King Zhao, who is also the prince and the emperor's father.

"Your Highness will not pay attention," Li Gu clasped his fists and said, "Time is on our side."

After Li Gu left, King Zhao showed an unconcealed look of fatigue on his face. He shook his head gently. Is time really on his side? It may not be possible!

...

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Xu Zi first went to his parents' spirit card to burn incense and pray. If there is really a spirit in heaven in this world, Xu Zi first hopes to protect King Qi to pass this level safely.

At least, you can take care of your health and delay the time for several months to one year, or even two or three years.

No matter how long it takes, Xu Zixian dared not put his hopes on it.

There were not many people staying in the Hou Mansion, nor were there very few people. Dinner was quickly prepared for everyone. In a quiet and stagnant environment, people's appetite was not very good.

The sound of the cup and spoon was very light, and no one spoke. Although the accident that King Qi did not make the people in the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion feel the future was bleak, at least people understood that without the towering tree King Qi, there would be many unpredictable changes in the future. Whether it is good or bad, it would be up to oneself.

The King of Qi was Xu Zixian's biggest background and backer. There was also a right prime minister Xu Xiashang in the capital. The old right prime minister was just a famous scholar and prime minister in the country. His influence and actual power in Fujian were far less than that of the King of Qi. Moreover, the right prime minister was old and once he retired and returned home, he would basically be in a state of not caring about foreign affairs. He hoped that Xu Xiashang would come forward to compete for the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion for power. This idea was originally a very naive fantasy.

Xu Zixian also has the largest foreign aid in Changwen Hou Mansion, but one of the major characteristics of the civil servant family is that it lacks adaptability. Under normal circumstances, the civil servant family is very difficult to deal with and almost difficult to be defeated. In the event of emergencies, the civil servant family is difficult to intervene and control the situation. They can only wait until the dust is settled to see if the betting of their family is accurate or wasted.

In the current situation, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the Changwen Marquis Mansion, but at this point, the Changwen Marquis Mansion will never give up its alliance with Xu Zixian, so in the control of the local government, Xu Zixian has to surpass King Zhao.

Once King Qi left, the situation would definitely become much more dangerous, but everyone, including Xu Zixian, was relieved.

More than a year ago, if King Zhao took action to target Xu Zixian, he would be a breakup and not follow the rules, Xu Zixian would be doomed in an instant and would have no power to fight back.

At that time, the gap between the two sides was like the gap between a martial arts master who was in his prime and a cradle child. King Zhao could kill Xu Zi first, with any posture, any reason, or even no reason. With just a sign, countless people would naturally come forward to help.

At that time, Xu Zixian was poor, depressed and penniless. At most, King Zhao was worried that blood was too close and could easily be talked about. Moreover, at that time, Xu Zixian and King Zhao did not even have the interest to pay attention to him. They were just rats in the gutter and salted fish that could not turn over.

If King Zhao had known that Xu Zi had developed to this point now, he would have taken action without hesitation back then... Unfortunately, he had no chance to regret it.

A situation is inevitable, but it is not without the power to fight back... This is the situation facing the Nan'an Marquis Mansion in the future, and it doesn't seem too bad?
