Become a feudal king from today

"The last general, Xie Kuan, meets His Highness King Yan!"

Entering the front yard, Xie Kuan saw Zhao Xu and hurried forward to salute.

He had met Zhao Xu and remembered Zhao Xu's appearance.

"Thank you, Captain, for exempting me from the courtesy." Zhao Xu said.

This Xie Kuan is one of the generals in charge of the imperial army in the palace, with five thousand troops under his command.

When Zhao Heng travels, Xie Kuan always accompanies him.

There is no other reason. The current empress's surname is Xie, and Xie Kuan is the nephew of empress Xie, so the prince has to call him cousin.

After saluting Zhao Xu, Xie Kuan turned to Chang Wei with a smile on his face, "Chang Wei, long time no see. Now that you are deeply appreciated by the King of Yan, you are in charge of the royal palace's imperial army. You have to thank me."

Xu Lie glanced at his mouth, Xie Kuan was very arrogant when he was in the imperial army.

All generals who do not flatter him and give him gifts will receive a cold reception.

They may even be beaten and scolded.

Chang Wei sneered, "You should thank me, otherwise it would be a real regret in my life not to meet His Highness."

Although he hated Xie Kuan, it was indeed Yan County that Xie Kuan asked him to come to.

It was an accident, but now he is very happy to be here.

Therefore, although he did not want to see Xie Kuan, he did not embarrass him.

Xie Kuan laughed twice, remembering that time was tight for this trip, so he took out the imperial edict.

Zhao Xu understood and immediately accepted the order.

Xie Kuan unfolded the imperial edict and said: "I have been entrusted by heaven to carry the emperor, and the edict says: I heard that Beidi was hunting in autumn, besieging Yan City, and was defeated by King Yan, and captured Kutu and Langlu. I was very relieved, but all the ministers and ministers in the capital said so. This is a rumor, and I specially ordered Xie Kuan, the captain of the imperial army, to go to Yan County and escort Kutu and three others to the capital to prove your innocence, and then I can give you a generous reward."

"I accept the imperial edict, long live my emperor." Zhao Xu sang and stood up to receive the edict.

Xie Kuan said at this time, "Your Highness, there is a huge quarrel between the court and the Central Government over this matter. Since the matter of capturing Kutu alive is pending, the Emperor cannot issue a decree to reward His Highness, so I have specially ordered General Mo to escort Kutu to the capital. I hope Your Highness Now let Kutu come to the capital with the last general."

Zhao Xu was silent for a while.

After paying homage to the dead soldiers, he was planning to choose a day to kill Kutu and others.

Unexpectedly, the imperial decree came now and wanted to arrest three people.

Seeing Zhao Xu's hesitation, Liu Fu leaned closer and whispered: "Your Highness, the imperial edict cannot be violated. The Yuan family and Beidi are eyeing it now, so don't offend the emperor again."

After spending some time with Zhao Xu, he understood that Zhao Xu sometimes acted out of anger.

Fearing that Zhao Xu would not allow it, he immediately went to kill Kutu and others.

After all, when Kutu arrives in the capital, whether he lives or dies is beyond the control of King Yan.

Seeing that Zhao Xu didn't speak, he continued: "Furthermore, as the emperor said, once Kutu dies, the court officials will definitely accuse His Highness of falsely reporting achievements and criticize His Highness. This autumn hunt is not only fruitless, but also has faults. The officials know that His Highness feels sorry for the dead soldiers, but they follow His Highness in the hope that His Highness will fulfill his promise and bring wealth and prosperity to Yan County, so His Highness must plan for the long term. "

Hearing this, Zhao Xu looked at Chang Wei.

Chang Wei understood what Zhao Xu meant. His eyes struggled a little, but he nodded in the end.

Zhao Xu sighed softly and said, "Then I would like to ask Lieutenant Xie to accompany General Chang to the prison in Beidaying."

"Yes, Your Highness." Xie Kuan held his hands.

Chang Wei said nothing and led Xie Kuan away.

After the two left, Liu Fu opened his mouth to say something else. Zhao Xu immediately said, "Stop talking. I understand that a small impatience will ruin a big plan."

Liu Fu nodded and reminded: "Your Highness, now write a note and send it to the capital. Since Kutu has handed it over, Your Highness should ask for some rewards. After all, His Highness has done great service. Also, it is the right time to take the opportunity to impeach the Yuan family." ”

"You can draw up the book." Zhao Xu said.

Wang Fu's duties originally included drafting memorials.

Liu Fu was a scholar of this era, and he was better at playing word games than him.

Arrived at the study room.

Liu Fu picked up his pen and wrote on the fold: My son, King Xu of Yan reported: In the middle of September, Kutu, the nine kings of Beidi, led 30,000 troops to cross Yanshan Mountain and plunder Yanzhou. Three of his troops were in Wu'an County, and Kutu Tu led his 20,000 troops straight down to Yancheng and attacked the city for several days.

The son-in-law came from Yan County in Fanzhen. He felt his father's teachings, worked diligently and loved the people, and trained his troops diligently. He took the Fanping royal family as his own responsibility and guarding the imperial land as his duty. He led his troops and horses in bloody battles, suffered countless losses, and finally defeated Kutu. Under the city, he captured Kutu in Wu'an and won a great victory. .

However, the war was raging in Yan County, and the enemy invaders plundered in all directions. Although the enemy was defeated, the land of the sons and ministers was also scorched, and they were trapped up and down.

There is also Zhang Kang, a wealthy family member of this county, who is connected to Beidi outside and conspires with the Yuan family to kill his son. If he hadn't been alert and foiled his plan, he would have died.

Now, my son has presented Zhang Kang’s testimony and memorial to his father, hoping that he will investigate clearly.

I, my son, should wait quietly in Yan County for my father’s grace to show my royal dignity.

Liu Fu finished writing and presented it to Zhao Xu.

Picking up the memorial and glancing at it, Zhao nodded slightly.

Everything that needs to be said has been said in this memorial.

One showed his merits, and the other cried out about poverty and said he had suffered heavy losses.

In addition, there are the dirty things about Zhang Kang's Yuan family and the request for reward from Zhao Heng.

That last sentence reminded Zhao Heng not to be too stingy, otherwise it would damage the royal dignity.

Liu Fu nodded, polished Zhao Xu's words, and joined in.

"Send someone to the capital." Zhao Xu said.

Although Xie Kuan was about to leave, he did not trust him. After all, in ancient times, there were many cases of people altering memorials or simply suppressing them due to interests.

So it was better to give it to him, so he could rest assured.

Not long after the memorial was written, Chang Wei and Xie Kuan arrived.

There are also three prison cars coming at the same time, and Xie Kuan will escort them to the capital.

"Your Highness, you must not be careless when escorting Kutu. General Chen Hu has asked Chen Hu to bring a thousand cavalry over to the capital together with Lieutenant Xie. What do you think, Your Highness?" Chang Wei said.

Xie Kuan was a little dissatisfied, "Chang Wei, are we, the imperial guards in the palace, worse than your miscellaneous soldiers? What are you worried about?"

Chang Wei sneered, "The miscellaneous soldiers you mentioned could defeat the Beidi people, can you?"

"You..." Xie Kuan's face turned purple with anger.

He can't control Chang Wei now. If it were before, he would definitely make Chang Wei look good.

Zhao Xu said at this time: "Yanzhou is in chaos, and Beidi Xizuo is mixed in. To be on the safe side, let me escort the king's troops." Zhao Xu settled the matter with one sentence.

When Xie Kuan heard about Beidi's work, he suddenly felt weak in his heart.

He said: "Since His Highness has said it, I will abide by it. When I came, the Emperor ordered us to go back after picking up the people. Your Highness, we will not stay here."

"Well, if there is a chance next time, I will treat the governor to a drink." Zhao Xu said.

Like Xie Kuan, they are just pretending to be polite.

After cupping his hands, Xie Kuan left the palace, gave an order, and the team marched slowly. Chen Hu led the cavalry behind him and headed south.

Ten days later, the team crossed the river and arrived at Jinling City.
