Chapter 655 The founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the adopted son of the Xu family

The man who was called Zhigao by Xu Wen looked only seven feet long, but he was born with a square forehead and a very handsome appearance.

He was not Xu Wen's biological child. His original surname was Li. He was born in a humble background and was displaced since childhood. Because of the war, his biological father disappeared, so he was taken to Haozhou by his uncle. At that time, Yang Xingmi, who was the name of rescuing Gao Pian, the governor of Huainan, temporarily captured Haozhou and adopted him as his adopted son.

At that time, Yang Xingmi attached great importance to this young man and expressed his feelings that "all the generals are not as good as the ones", but it aroused the jealousy of his eldest son Yang Wo... He could not be tolerated by the sons under his knees, so Yang Xingmi had to entrust the young man to Xu Wen to raise him and change his name to Xu Zhigao.

Li Tianqu naturally knew another identity of Xu Zhigao in the official history line. According to his original trajectory, he would change his original surname to Li Bing, and then forced the Yang family's last lord to abdicate and become the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Li Yu, who was later known as the Emperor of Ci, was also the grandson of Xu Zhigao.

After hearing Xu Wen's name and inquiry, Xu Zhixun, who was scolded by his own son, immediately cast a hatred look... Xu Zhigao thought for a while and replied respectfully in a tone like a bull.

"My father and Zhang Hao conspired to eliminate the king Yang Wo... They were originally to protect themselves, but Zhang Hao was unsatisfied with the desire to usurp the throne and seize power. They didn't know that this had already aroused the anger of the public. Even if the civil servants and military generals of the Wu Kingdom were temporarily restrained, who would be willing to submit to him?

The child thought that although it was not appropriate to fight and conflict with Zhang Hao at the moment, otherwise the Right Ya military would be damaged, and he was afraid that other officials would take the opportunity to pursue the crime of killing the master. However, after listening to his father's words, Zhang Hao was bullied and coerced in the courtyard of the Orchid Bureau, and even threatened his father. This would make it easier for my Xu family to clearly define the relationship with him..."

After hearing Xu Zhigao's proposal for advice, Xu Wen's eyes lit up suddenly. He nodded and immediately said:

"Speak."

Whether it was in front of his adopted father Xu Wen, or Xu Zhixun, who looked at him with a very bad look, or Xu Zhixun, these righteous brothers, Xu Zhigao was still respectful:

"I was originally invaded by the emperor and killed the Lord, but I was inevitably criticized by the ministers. The King of Wu was tyrannical and injustice, killing the former subordinates of the former ruler. My father empathized with the ancestors of the Wu Kingdom's meritorious ministers, and in theory, he could understand the hardships of the Xu family... But Zhang Hao not only killed the Lord, but now he is also planning to usurp the throne. In addition to Xuancheng, there are also generals of Wu Kingdom leading troops to guard the side. How can he tolerate such a rebellion?

Even if he does not break up with Zhang Hao, his father can send someone to contact the former generals of the former lords in various places. Even if there are some things, my Xu family has to do... But Zhang Hao is so good at this, he can just push the lord to him. And Zhang Hao must be considering and thinking about the sons of the Yang family. When the generals in various places intend to raise troops to help the king rescue the sons of the Yang family, his father raised the banner of righteousness and claimed that he would jointly fight against Zhang Hao, which would completely clear the guilt of killing the master? This is more beneficial to our Xu family..."

After Xu Zhigao said this, Xu Wen obviously agreed with it very much. After all, his adopted son is not only talented, but also caring for his wife Li and his original surname. Xu Zhigao serves Xu Wen like his father. Whenever his adoptive father is ill, he will serve him in front of the bed with his clothes on his clothes... This also made Xu Wen sigh at his words to his other biological descendants, "If you talk about filial piety, you will not be as good as Zhigao"...

It’s a pity that Zhigao is not my biological flesh and blood after all... Zhixun, Zhixun is not yet a talent at the moment. If I can catch up with Zhigao’s half, I will be content...

Xu Wen thought sadly in his heart, thought for a long time, and then said:

"Just as Zhigao said, it's not in vain that my father's cultivation of you... It seems that you still have to endure it for a while. Zhang Hao is eager to succeed, and he will only make enemies with other old ministers and generals. What is the difference between this and Yang Wo's child? Even if the descendants of the former kings are not good, my Xu family still cannot covet the throne of Wu. If you want to convince the public, you must wait for the opportunity to control the power and support the descendants of the Yang family to take the throne..."

We will discuss how to deal with Zhang Hao for the time being, and adopt a attitude of not condemning or opposing, but not cooperating, and we should contact other generals who are leading troops outside the State of Wu as soon as possible. We first planned to kill the master to deal with the ministers of the State of Wu, but we also wanted to deal with Xu Wen, who was saddened to deal with Zhang Hao who turned against him, and we also had to rest for a while. Xu Zhigao also had to supervise the inspection and guarding the mansion of the Right Ya Army just in case.

However, as soon as Xu Zhigao walked out of the hall, before he could take a few steps, he heard his nominal brother Xu Zhixun shouting:

"Peng Nu! Stop for me!"

Peng Nu is the nickname before Xu Zhigao was adopted by Yang Xingmi and Xu Wen. Xu Zhixun is so acclaimed, obviously he has never regarded him as a brother.

When the angry Xu Zhixun rushed to Xu Zhigao, he immediately cursed with hatred:

"Who gave you the courage to praise me in front of my father? I want to compare me with Zhixun and think that I can win my father's favor!"

Qingzhi, the so-called brother, was scolded and had nowhere to vent his anger, but his adopted son was praised, so he wanted to vent his anger... Xu Zhigao was still obedient and immediately defended:

"Why did my brother say this? After all, when my father asked, I had to express what I thought and imagine the future of my Xu family..."

"Brother? Father? My Xu family? I'm spoil!"

However, Xu Zhigao's words were just beginning, and Xu Zhixun was rudely interrupted. Xu Zhixun even stretched out his fingers, one after another, one after another... he lit Xu Zhigao's chest with force, and said viciously:

"To put it nicely, you are just the son of Moe Xiao. To put it nicely, you are just a slave adopted by my father, and you are worthy of claiming to be from the Xu family!? I just heard you talk to the Xu family one by one, which made me feel angry. Thinking about your origin, you are just a slutty and sloppy man, and I don't know how the former king thought about it. He took you, and entrusted him to my father to raise him. It's a pity that over the years, I have to meet you, an annoying person, often!

Today, I might as well tell you clearly that the country of Wu was led by my father to follow the first king. But the former king Yang family was only the offenders. Since Zhang Hao was too anxious, he wanted to attract other long-time generals to conquer the throne... The turn of the Xu family to do the throne in Wu has also changed!

But this has nothing to do with you. If my father can succeed to the throne and become king... the position of Sijun of Wu, I can only be my eldest son! If you had not been adopted by my Xu family back then, you would be just a pariah ant, and I would only treat you as mud on my feet! Don't think that pretending to be respectful and filial in front of my father, you will have the opportunity to covet a high position. If it makes me unhappy, even if my father can protect you for a while, he will not be able to protect you for the rest of his life!"

Xu Zhixun scolded sternly, and even spitted out the star of Xu Zhigao's face. However, to this extent, Xu Zhigao still dared not have an attack, and even bowed his head to apologize and said bluntly:

"Father... the adoptive father treats me with great grace to raise and cultivate. As the righteous brother said, if the humble man was not adopted by his adoptive father, it was a chaotic and chaotic year. However, a humble refugee from a humble family would be afraid that he would either starve to death or be killed by the chaotic soldiers... Such great grace has been deep across the ocean, and now he has been given official positions and only plans to be a cattle and horse for the Xu family to repay his adoptive father... The Xu family has a great grace!

Now I am willing to be the wielding father, and of course I am willing to hold a whip and stirrup for my brother. I never dared to have any inappropriate thoughts. Today, I am unhappy with my brother, and I can only ask for forgiveness!”

After getting angry for a long time, Xu Zhixun felt relieved as usual. He seemed to have forgotten that his son Xu Wen was originally a businessman who sold private salt and started his career as a robber... So he snorted coldly again, still scolding Xu Zhixun snorted:

"That's it. Don't forget that you were originally a poor man, but you were adopted by my noble family and nobles of the Xu family. You will obediently follow my orders in the future. After all, I am my father's biological flesh and blood, otherwise I will make me unhappy again... I will sooner or later make you unable to die a bad death!"
