Tantai Xuanye's tone was very calm, and there was even a slight smile on his face.

But seeing this smile in the saint's eyes, it made his back feel cold.

Of course she understood that the hatred in Tantai Xuanye's heart no longer even needed to be shown on his expression, but was deeply engraved in his bones.

"The saint originally transferred his ministers to come to Kyoto, but was he worried that Wuchuan and the Taishi family would have too much hatred?" Tantai Xuanye said with a smile: "Taishi Hong returned to the capital to retire, and Taishi Cunxu took his place and became the general of Zhenbei, commanding the four northern states. The enmity between Wuchuan and the Taishi family is too deep. You are worried that without Taishi Hong's deterrence, Taishi Cunxu will not be able to suppress Wuchuan. The Wuchuan Town Council will always be in trouble with Taishi Cunxu, and there may even be a mutiny, so you transferred the minister back to Kyoto."

The saint pondered for a moment and then said: "The more important reason is that your father died for the country and nearly ten thousand soldiers in Wuchuan died on the battlefield. I want to make some amends."

"To make up for it?" Tantai Xuanye said with a smile: "So, this armor I wore was purchased with the blood of my father and tens of thousands of brothers?"

The saint frowned and said calmly: "At least I gave you an explanation."

"The saint is the emperor, so there is no need to explain to anyone." Tantai Xuanye said: "I was transferred back to Kyoto, and I was disheartened. At least in the eyes of many people, I was left in Kyoto as a hostage of Wuchuan. Wuchuan The soldiers threw a rat weapon and did not want something bad to happen to me in Kyoto, so they could only endure it and obey Taishi Cunxu's military orders. Saint, once some grudges are forged, they will never disappear forever. Even though the Wuchuan soldiers ignored their past grudges, the Taishi family never felt relieved. Wuchuan Army."

The sage said: "Why do you say that?"

"The sage knows better than the minister. Because of what happened back then, Taishi Cunxu was always on guard against Wuchuan." Tantai Xuanye's expression became grim and he said calmly: "Whether it is weapons or horses, Wuchuan lagged behind in everything. Back then, there were 20,000 people. In the end, only 8,000 soldiers of the Wuchuan Army survived. Later, when the troops were replenished, only 7,000 troops were added. The 20,000 troops were reduced to 15,000 troops. Moreover, the vacated 5,000 troops were used by the Taishi Family to increase the number of soldiers in Rouxuan Town. All defenses have been taken away." Staring at a golden bodhi tree outside the window, his tone was calm: "More than ten years have passed, many Wuchuan brothers have grown old, and they can only leave with hatred and hatred. "

The saint frowned and said: "So you have been holding back for many years just to avenge the past?"

"I just want justice." Tantai Xuanye said calmly.

The saint sneered and said: "How you treat me is what you call justice? If I hadn't had your flesh and blood, would you have killed me too?"

Tantai Xuanye turned his head and stared at the saint without saying a word.

"It was I who allowed Tai Shihong to withdraw his troops from Yanmen back then." The saint said coldly: "If you want to seek justice, you can kill the king now!"

Tantai Xuanye laughed and said: "How could a saint think like this? I said that the world still belongs to you, and the child in your belly has nothing to do with the Li family and the Xiahou family. This is a gift from me to you. After I seek justice, I will naturally disappear and the country will still be in your hands."

"disappear?"

"Does the saint think that I will covet the throne?" Tantai Xuanye said with a smile: "I don't have that big ambition." He turned to look at the horizon and said: "Even if I have that kind of ambition, how can Yuan Fenjing tolerate me? He doesn't.

If you act rashly, you are not afraid that I will hurt you. I went to see him personally and promised him that as long as my wish is fulfilled, if he wants to kill me, I will offer my head, otherwise I will stay away from Kyoto and never see the world again.

Things."

The saint sighed: "You are indeed very brave. With his level of cultivation, it would be easy for him to take your life."

"As long as the saint doesn't want to kill me, he will never do it." Tantai Xuanye said: "He is indeed loyal to the saint!"

The saint sneered and said: "He knew you were rebelling in the palace, but he didn't move an inch. Is this called loyalty?"

"Yuan Fengjing is in Taoism. To him, this country is just a dream. He has never cared about it, and he will not care about what the world has become." Tantai Xuanye said: "The only thing he cares about is

There are only saints.”

The saint's expression suddenly became complicated.

"Everyone has weaknesses, and Yuan Fengjing's weakness is that of saints." Tantai Xuanye sighed: "There are indeed many wonders in this world. Yuan Fengjing is in the Taoist sect, but he has the biggest love in the world. For the sake of saints, he is willing to sacrifice himself.

I have sealed myself in the imperial city for twenty years without complaining or regretting. There are not many men like this in the world."

The saint's lips curled up slightly and he said, "You don't seem to mind his feelings for me? So you were never sincere towards me."

"The saint is wrong." Tantai Xuanye said: "It is not incomprehensible that a saint with peerless grace can be remembered by a figure like Yuan Fengying."

The saint was silent for a moment and then asked: "You told him that once his wish is fulfilled, he will stay away from Kyoto. Your wish is what you call justice?"

"yes!"

"How do you seek justice?"

Tantai Xuanye smiled and said: "Of course it is to repay the blood debt of nearly ten thousand Wuchuan soldiers. Their blood debt can only be recovered by me." He put one hand behind his back and said calmly: "The one the Wuchuan Army hates most is Taishi.

family, so naturally the Taishi family cannot stay. As long as there is a dog alive in the Taishi family, it is my fault."

His tone was extremely calm, but his words made people feel creepy.

"You want to kill the Taishi family?" The saint seemed to understand something and said softly: "The Taishi family started to prosper since the Wuzong Dynasty. There are many famous generals in the family who stand alone. Since then, they have become the backbone of the Tang Dynasty's military. Taishi Hong was highly regarded by the late emperor.

, before being transferred to the north, he once controlled the South Campus and was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty whose military prestige was unmatched. He returned to Beijing to retire, and Taishi Cunxu succeeded him as the general of Zhenbei. He still has unshakable strength in the military."

Tantai Xuanye sighed: "The Taishi family has deep roots. Isn't this why the saint did not easily touch them? The Taishi family was not supported by the saints, but more than ten years later, the four northern towns are still nominally under control.

Regarding the Taishi family, the reason is that firstly, Taishi Hong led his army to repel the Tusun people. The Taishi family still has a deterrent effect on the Tusun people, so the position of General Zhenbei cannot be easily replaced. Secondly, it is because of the Taishi family.

The influence in the military is too strong, and the saint is worried that suppressing the Taishi family will lead to backlash from the military. Fortunately, the Taishi family is loyal to the court and has no different intentions, so the saint has never taken action against the Taishi family."

"That's right." The saint said: "I have concerns about the Taishi family. You are just the commander of the Dragon Scale Guards, so naturally you can't do anything to the Taishi family." A sneer appeared at the corner of his lips, and he said slowly: "That's why you have gone so hard.

To run the business, first control the palace and hold me hostage to command the court. Only in this way can we have the opportunity to kill the Taishi family."

Tantai Xuanye smiled and said: "The saint is naturally very wise, and finally understands the painstaking efforts of the minister. But it is just to deal with the Taishi family, so there is no need to go to this step."

"What else do you want to do?"

"As a son of man, if you have the revenge of killing your father, you should take revenge." Tantai Xuanye said: "Does the saint know whose hands my father died?"

The saint frowned and said nothing. Tantai Xuanye sighed: "My father died on the battlefield for the saint. The saint didn't know who he was killed by. I'm afraid it will chill the soldiers. I can tell the saint that my father received five thousand

The soldiers fought in a bloody battle, and the entire army of five thousand soldiers was wiped out. The man who killed my father is called Tie Han!"

"Tie Han?" the sage said, "King Khan of the Duer Hu tribe?"

Tantai Xuanye nodded and said: "Exactly. In the military reports, there are only a few mentions of the death of my father and five thousand soldiers. Many people even thought that my father died in the rebellion. The Tusun people retreated.

After that, it took me several years to finally figure out the truth behind my father’s murder.”

"what is going on?"

"My father was seriously injured in the rebellion and was captured alive by Tie Han's men." Tantai Xuanye said: "Tie Han persuaded my father to surrender, but my father scolded him. Tie Han was so angry that he had my father tied with a rope and tied to the back of the horse.

, and then he galloped, his skin and flesh were torn, and he died miserably like that." He smiled softly and said: "The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable. If I can't cut iron with my bare hands, how can I see my father in Jiuquan after I die?

Down!"

The saint had a vague premonition of something, and his expression changed slightly: "You... what exactly do you want to do?"

"After wiping out the Taishi family, the next natural step is to send all the troops of the Tang Dynasty to march north to Monan." Tantai Xuanye stared into the saint's eyes and said softly: "Of course a small dragon-scaled guard commander can't do this.

Only the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can help me realize this wish."

"You are crazy!" The saint took a step back and said coldly: "With Murong in the south and Li Tuo in the west, the treasury is empty, and the Tang Dynasty has no way to go north."

Tantai Xuanye smiled and said: "Don't worry, saint, I will find a way to solve these problems. If the journey north is successful and Monan is conquered, then the saint will definitely leave his name in the history books for thousands of years, and his achievements will be as good as those of Emperor Wuzong."

"What if it fails?"

"The country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, and the empire changes." Tantai Xuanye said with a smile: "If I lose, I will naturally no longer be alive. After my death, what kind of chaos will the world be like, what does it have to do with me?"
