Wei and Jin cooks

Fan Changsheng continued to meditate cross-legged and said calmly: "General, please come back."

Li Xiang's breathing became rapid and he asked with difficulty: "Is the Prime Minister worthy of Your Majesty?"

Fan Changsheng sighed and said: "General, do you think His Majesty has not thought of these things? It's just because the princes are so unbearable that they have to settle for the next best thing."

Li Xiong chose Li Ban because he respected and loved his eldest brother, but wasn't the bigger reason that his sons were too ugly?

Not only are they cruel and arrogant, they don't even have the most basic sense of filial piety.

During the war in Shu last year, Li Xiong personally led the troops and was inevitably injured. After the summer weather was hot, some of the wounds became bad and turned into pus and smelly. Several of his sons smelled it, not to mention taking care of them. They all showed disgust on their faces. He immediately moved out of the palace and lived there. He did not enter the palace once for ten days and a half. He also interacted with the emperor's imperial commander many times and sent gifts to his house every now and then in an attempt to win over him.

As for Li Ban, after he learned that his uncle's injury had worsened, he took care of him day and night. He also personally sucked out the pustule and carefully applied medicine to him.

During the period, Li Xiong had a high fever and almost died. It was only through the dedicated service of him and the imperial doctor that he was saved.

How can a person who cannot be filial to his own father be expected to be benevolent and kind to ordinary people?

The rise of an emperor without benevolence will be a disaster for the country and the people.

Therefore, Fan Changsheng supports Li Xiong. Even without Zhao Hanzhang, he will agree with Li Xiong to establish Li Ban. At least if he establishes him, there is still a half chance of success. Li Xiong's sons...

Fan Changsheng closed his eyes and remained silent no matter how Li Xiang asked.

Seeing this, Li Xiang could only bow down and leave.

When he left the Taoist temple, it was almost dark. He stood in front of the temple, blowing the mountain breeze, and looked at the dim mountains. The floating clouds were blown up and down in the mountains by the wind. He suddenly felt sad and burst into tears. Come down.

This time he didn't cry loudly, but sobbed. He stumbled down the mountain with one foot high and one foot low.

His attendant was sweating profusely and hurriedly led the horse to follow him, "Lang Jun, it's getting dark, why don't we spend the night at the Taoist temple?"

Li Xiang ignored him and cried all the way down the mountain.

When they reached the bottom of the mountain, they caught up with him and said, "Mr. Lang, it's already dark and the road is difficult. Let's rest in the village for the night."

Li Xiang ignored him. At this time, he was already crying. He just shed two lines of clear tears silently and walked all the way towards the city gate.

He had no choice but to light a torch and light it to light his way forward.

Li Xiang stumbled and walked like this all night. When he returned to the city gate, the sky was slightly bright. He stopped and looked up at the word "埤城" at the city gate. His knees softened and he knelt down straight.

He raised his head and cried silently, and could only murmur: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed of you, I am ashamed of Chengguo..."

The attendants looked at him blankly, not knowing what was wrong with Li Xiang.

When Li Xiang came back from Xishan alone, the courtiers of the Cheng Kingdom knew about Fan Changsheng's choice. They were shocked and wondered why Fan Changsheng made such a choice. Could it be that he couldn't see the consequences of establishing Li Ban?

No one knew what Fan Changsheng and Li Xiang said, and the minister who ran to pick him up at the city gate was speechless no matter how he asked.

Xin Zhao also followed to watch the fun.

He didn't know that this matter had something to do with him, so he stood aside and watched the fun happily.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, I really didn’t expect that before their negotiations came to a conclusion, Cheng Guo started to cause chaos on his own.

Although this chaos will not last long, after all, Li Xiong is here, but Zhao Xin still enjoys seeing the joke and temporarily relieving the pressure on his side.

Just as he was watching happily, Li Xiang suddenly raised his head and looked in his direction. He didn't know what he saw, and his eyes were blood red.

Xin Zhao was startled, and immediately stood up straight with a serious look on his face.

When people from the Chengguo court carried Li Xiang away, Zhao Xin revealed his inquiring eyes and began to ponder.

When he returned to the inn, he called for his soldiers, "You quietly contact our scout and ask him to give me all the information about Li Xiong, Fan Changsheng, Li Xiang and others, regardless of whether it is coarse or detailed, confirmed or rumored." , bring them all to me.”

The soldier responded with a serious look on his face and left.

Zhao Xin walked back and forth in the room. In fact, his understanding of the monarchs and ministers of the Cheng Kingdom was superficial. After all, they did not pay much attention to the Kingdom of Shu before, and their eyes were mainly on the north, the Central Plains, and the south.

Because of the natural dangers and favorable geographical conditions in Shu, it was difficult for outsiders to pay attention to the situation before the Central Plains was settled.

So he doesn't actually know them well enough. He has been working hard to make up for it during this period, but looking at it today, he still doesn't know them well enough.

Li Xiang, why did he look at him like that?

Fan Changsheng, why didn't you stop Li Xiong from establishing Li Ban?

Li Xiong, why did he insist on establishing Li Ban when the ministers were so opposed?

Xin Zhao wanted a lot of things, and they didn't deliver them quietly until the third day. During this process, Xin Zhao met with the courtiers of the Cheng Kingdom again. This time, the talks were quite harmonious. Although they didn't make a decision, they still had a good relationship with each other. After testing the bottom line again, Zhao Xin gradually figured it out, and the monarchs and ministers of Chengguo also had some idea. They were not very satisfied with Zhao Xin's conditions.

Including Li Xiong, even if they knew that the possibility was very small, they still wanted Hanzhong County. If it was not possible, half of Hanzhong County would be given to them?

Xin Zhao did not agree. As soon as he returned to the inn, he saw the look on his face and went back to the house immediately.

The scouts sent a lot of information, and Xin Zhao looked at it carefully.

After reading it, he vaguely understood something.

It was because he was narrow-minded and regarded Li Xiong and the others as a group of people from the Jin royal family who, for the sake of power, had plunged all the people of the world into dire straits.

If you look at them, you will know that there are not only people like the Sima family who only care about power, but also people like Shi Le who are cruel but only believe in themselves.

There are also people like Li Xiong and Fan Changsheng.

After the death of Li Xiong's father and brother, the refugee army fell apart for a time, but he insisted on not surrendering and kept fighting with gritted teeth. At that time, the refugee army was starving, and even the leader Li Xiong had to endure hunger.

It was under such circumstances that they attracted Fan Changsheng, a local gentry and wealthy family.

Although Fan Changsheng is a Taoist priest, he is not an ordinary Taoist priest.

He has vast fertile fields and beautiful land here, as well as more than a thousand tribes. And because he believes in the Tao of Heavenly Masters, he has a huge number of believers in the Bashu area.

Li Xiong and Fan Changsheng got in touch, and Fan Changsheng provided them with food, so that the refugee army would not starve to death.

After that, Fan Changsheng provided a large amount of food and equipment to the refugee army to assist them in fighting.

Li Xiong felt that this was their food, clothing and parents, so he called on his good brothers and subordinates to go to Fan Changsheng together and ask him to be the emperor.

Fan Changsheng thought about it carefully and felt that he could not control the refugee army, so he refused and pushed Li Xiong to the throne.

Over the years, he has performed his duties conscientiously, and the relationship between the emperor and his ministers has been harmonious. The policy of "recuperating and recuperating while sparing taxes to promote education" proposed by Fan Changsheng has been well implemented.

The life of the Shu people under their actual control is not as good as that of the Shu people outside. Therefore, their struggle with other counties and counties in Shu has become more and more serious in recent years.

To put it bluntly, Li Xiong and Fan Changsheng are not that enthusiastic about power. One of them is for the refugee army and the people of Shu, and the other is for the people of Shu and the rise and fall of Taoism.

Xin Zhao was in awe after reading all the information, and at the same time he had another idea in his mind.
