After Luo Youdu met with Xue Juzheng, he sent someone to summon Kang Zaiyu again, and Kang Baoyi and his son made special arrangements.
He stretched out greatly and muttered to himself: "It's time to stretch out some muscles and bones!"
The last order he gave regarding Sichuan and Shu was to ask the Ministry of Rites to inform the Sichuan and Shu envoys in the capital that the imperial envoys were about to arrive in Shu with the decree of canonization and mourning, so that they could be prepared to welcome him.
The envoys from Sichuan and Shu in Bianjing were the most embarrassed. They were the only ones who didn't know the real news, so they happily sent messengers to send messages to Sichuan and Shu.
In their view, although the Central Plains court has a desire to unify, but based on today's decree, the war will not reach Sichuan and Shu in a short time. After all, if the Central Plains really has a desire to unify, how can it let the country change hands? People's hearts are in turmoil.
Great opportunity?
The message was quickly conveyed to Chengdu. Meng Xuanzhe, who had already ascended to the throne of the Western Shu Kingdom, was not at all happy after questioning. Instead, he looked angry and said: "Luo Youdu of the Central Plains has gone too far to bully others. My position comes to the great ancestor and Taizong. I need to
Is he canonized?"
When he talked about Taizong, his tone was a little weak.
Meng Xuanzhe did not have any intention of killing his father, but he just did not want to see the country his grandfather conquered perish by his own hands.
After having a close contact with Xu Kai, he repeatedly persuaded Meng Chang not to lie down and die as equals. Even if he was defeated, he would still fight vigorously. At least he could leave his name in history and not be infamy for thousands of years and face the Meng family.
Gaozu.
Meng Chang was so angry with Meng Xuanzhe that he drove him out of the Fire Palace for the last time and refused to see him.
Meng Xuanzhe was filled with grief and anger.
Prime Minister Wang Zhaoyuan took Li Heng as an example and said: "Had it not been for Li Heng Lingwu ascending the throne and calling on the world's diligent kings to fight against Anlu Mountain, there would never have been a hundred years of power after Li Tang. Your Majesty is old and no longer ambitious. His Majesty will take over the country.
, and of course it should be. His Majesty has such high regard for the Central Plains that he is so timid. The defeat in the past was not a crime of war, but the improper use of people, and the use of stupid people like Zhao Jizha."
"This general is ignorant of astronomy, geography, strange gates, yin and yang, cannot read formation diagrams, and does not know the strength of the army. He is a mediocre person."
"How can Your Majesty, with a mediocre person like Zhao Jizha, be undefeated? If I had gone to war at that time, how could Luo Youdu be today? Guo Rong could not wait to be killed by an evil thief like Zhao Kuangyin..."
These words made Meng Xuanzhe's blood boil.
Meng Chang surrendered power early due to physical problems.
Meng Xuanzhe surrounded the Fire Palace without any effort.
Meng Xuanzhe's original intention was to force Meng Chang to abdicate and take over the power himself and fight the Central Plains to the end.
Unexpectedly, Meng Chang fainted from anger and died before he could survive the day.
Meng Xuanzhe was frightened and uneasy.
Wang Zhaoyuan had no choice but to suppress the situation, pretending that Meng Chang died suddenly, and a ghost came to take over the throne.
As for Taizong, Meng Xuanzhe just called him privately. As the head of the country, how could Meng Chang have the qualifications to be called Taizong?
A trace of excitement flashed in Wang Zhaoyuan's eyes, and he said: "Your Majesty, this may be a good thing."
Meng Xuanzhe's respect for Wang Zhaoyuan came from the bottom of his heart. This Sichuan and Sichuan scholar was not as good as Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, and Pang Tong, and they were embarrassed to speak.
But in Meng Xuanzhe's view, most of those figures who compare themselves to Zhuge Liang, Fazheng, Pang Tong and others are nothing more than nothing.
Only his mentors, Wang Zhaoyuan and Wang Kongliang, who were proficient in astronomy and geography, and had a unique yin and yang, were the real masters.
Contemporary Zhuge Liang.
Wang Zhaoyuan gently waved his fan and said: "I have heard of Xue Juzheng. He is a honest, honest, and knowledgeable person, and he is highly valued by Luo Youdu. There are two reasons for sending him here: First, for our people in Shu
, to show his kingly demeanor. Secondly, to observe His Majesty’s attitude and make a decision.”
Meng Xuanzhe sneered and said: "He thought that I would be like the late emperor, bowing to him, but he was totally wrong. I have the help of my mentor, and I have Sichuan and Sichuan to be strong, so why should I be afraid of his millions of troops in the Central Plains?"
Wang Zhaoyuan was very satisfied and said with an enigmatic smile: "Your Majesty, otherwise, our country in Shu is weak and poor. If someone had been in charge back then, we could have restored the Central Plains. However, Zhao Jizha corrupted the state affairs and caused our country to lose its troops and lose its territory. The country is strong
Damage. Now, with certain abilities and relying on the dangers of Sichuan and Shu, it is possible to resist the Central Plains army. But if we want to break out of Shu and destroy the Central Plains like Prime Minister Zhuge did in the past, we still need to use strategies to succeed."
Meng Xuanzhe bowed and said, "Sir, please give me some advice."
Wang Zhaoyuan twisted his beard and said: "In the past, Guan Yunchang was so powerful in China that he almost forced Cao Mengde to move the capital. How powerful was that! But so what? Why don't you let Lu Zi know how to cross the river and force him to defeat Maicheng? No matter how strong he is,
People will be controlled by the enemy if they calculate mentally or not."
"Your Majesty might as well receive Xue Juzheng well, just like the late emperor treated the envoys from the Central Plains, so as to reassure him. In this way, the Central Plains can fight against Jiangnan and Lingnan without any scruples, and we can send surprise troops northward to seize Guanzhong."
"As far as I know, Luo Youdu is cruel and ruthless. He imposes tyranny in Longyou and Liangzhou. He forces the Tubo, Tuyuhun, Uyghurs and other foreigners to change from animal husbandry to farming. This is extremely stupid. We can instigate them to resist, and then we will
Recover the Lianglong area without any effort."
"The feats that Zhuge Wuhou failed to complete in the past will be completed in the hands of your majesty."
Meng Xuanzhe's blood boiled when he heard this, and he said loudly: "It was not completed in my hands, but in the hands of me and my husband. I am Emperor Zhaolie, and your husband is my Marquis Zhuge Wu."
Meng Xuanzhe disdained to be compared with Liu Chan.
The two immediately decided on a way to deal with it.
First make a fool of yourself and surrender, and then use surprise troops to defeat the enemy.
Wang Zhaoyuan thought about Lu Zi Ming Yi's clothes to cross the river and what clothes he should wear to attack the important places in Guanzhong.
Tsing Yi!
Wang Kongliang entered the customs in green clothes.
Thinking of the joy, Wang Zhaoyuan felt hot in his heart and couldn't help but fan himself fiercely...
Seeing this, Meng Xuanzhe tightened his coat and murmured in his heart: Sir, you are really an expert and you are not afraid of the cold.
At this moment, news came from outside that Gao Xiang had come to express his condolences.
Meng Xuanzhe frowned when he heard this and said angrily: "This thief actually has the nerve to come to Chengdu?"
This Gao Xiang is the son of Gao Fang of Dali Kingdom.
The current king of Dali is called Duan Sicong, but in fact, the Duan family at this time has become a puppet of the Gao family, the powerful minister of Dali.
Everything in Dali Kingdom is decided by the Gao family.
This is also the reason why every emperor of Dali likes to become a monk.
It's not that they don't want to be emperor, but it's really boring to be emperor.
He is just a puppet and has no power at all.
Meng Chang surrendered to the Central Plains prematurely, and the trade routes between Sichuan, Shu and the Central Plains were smooth, and Dali naturally wanted to get a piece of the pie.
The Gao family of Dali also had frequent contacts with Shu and signed a mutual trade agreement.
Gao Xiang once came to Chengdu with an envoy. This man was a womanizer. In Chengdu, he got into a fight with an oiran and killed someone.
The matter got quite big, but Meng Chang stepped in to suppress it.
Meng Xuanzhe hated this very much and was angry that his father was weak.
I don't have any favorable impression of Gao Xiang.
