Chapter 541: King Zhao Guoming
Xu Qing said: "That's not the case. I also broke into a private house because of you. Not only did I break into a private house, but I even beat him up. If I confess you, I will be in bad luck."
Long Binger raised her eyebrows when she heard Xu Qing's words, as if she was a little surprised. Xu Qing continued: "The salaries given to officials by the State of Zhao are almost the highest in the world, right? You still go to steal things to survive? Tell me the reason, or else we would be breaking into a private house and hurting the owner for no reason." If the family absconds in fear of crime, they will go to jail."
Long Binger said: "Shall we go back and talk?"
Xu Qing nodded and said: "Okay, go back and talk slowly."
...
Ming family
Ming Qi and Ming Liu ran over to look at Ming Xun who was wrapped in gauze, and said in unison nervously: "Father, who did it?!"
Ming Xun waved his hand and said: "There are two assassins, one of them is a woman who can't tell who she is with her face covered, and the other... can control Leihuo, it's really terrifying! If it wasn't for the father who hid quickly, this hand I'm afraid it will be useless."
Ming Qi said: "Father, what are the identities of those people?"
A trace of solemnity flashed in Ming Xun's eyes, and he said, "Perhaps Song Ding already knows that we are here. It seems that the next action must be accelerated. By the way, don't let Zhou'er know about this."
Ming Liu nodded, cupped fist said: "Yes."
Song Ding is the name of the emperor of Zhao State, and there are not many people in the world who casually say that the emperor is a thing.
Of course, no one would say that the emperor is not a thing.
So here comes the question: Is the emperor a thing?
This has always been a very contradictory issue.
After Ming Liu withdrew, Ming Qi looked at Ming Xun and said, "The Martial Forest conference three days later?"
Ming Xun shook his head and said: "The right hand is just a little scratched, it's not a problem, those old guys from the poisonous scorpion gate and the iron armor gate are not my father's opponents."

Taoyuan Inn
Long Binger looked at Xu Qing who was standing in the room, and pointed to the chair opposite her: "You sit."
Xu Qing nodded, looked at Long Bing'er and said, "Tell me, did you go to the Ming family to steal a piece of jade?"
Long Bing'er was silent for a moment and said: "It's the court's intention."
"What does the imperial court mean?" Xu Qing asked, "Use Zhao's imperial court to deal with Chu's family? Your Emperor Zhao is quite lenient..."
Long Binger shook his head, and said: "The Ming family was not a Chu family in the beginning, and their identities in Chu were forged."
Xu was surprised and said, "Aren't they from Chu?"
Long Bing'er nodded, and said: "Ming Xun, the Patriarch of the Ming Family, is the King of Ming, Song Xun, who used to be the former Emperor Zhao."
Xu Qing couldn't help being surprised when he heard this: "Song Xun?!"
Long Binger nodded, and said: "Yes, at the beginning, King Ming was a Martial Dao genius who was born in the Zhao Kingdom. He was proficient in martial arts and knew the art of war. end."
Xu Qing said: "I guess I didn't make a move with King Xian."
Long Bing'er nodded and said: "At that time King Xian was not in the capital when he went out to fight, King Ming got along with Liu Chong, the then Zuolong Wuwei Zhonglang General."
Xu Qing asked puzzledly: "He is proficient in martial arts and knows the art of war? Then why is he not the emperor?"
Long Bing'er shook his head and said: "Ming Wang is too stubborn on Martial Dao, he doesn't understand the world, and he doesn't know how to win over courtiers. Although he had friendship with many generals at that time, the situation of Zhao State... You know……"
Xu Qing nodded his head to express his understanding. The state of Zhao used civil servants to restrain military generals. The status of military generals was naturally lower than that of civil servants. It was a daydream to rely on military generals to ascend to the throne...
Long Bing'er said: "King Ming, who failed to win the heir apparent, was afraid of being liquidated by His Majesty, escaped from the capital under the cover of some generals, and since then hid in the vast Rivers and Lakes. It was only a while ago that King Ming was found. He has never gone far, and has been accumulating strength in the place closest to Zhao Guo, trying to overthrow the court in vain."
Xu Qing suddenly realized: "So that's the case, but this King Ming has been honed over the years and knows how to tolerate and understand the world better than when he seized the throne. He even thought of using the power of Rivers and Lakes to hold a Martial Forest conference."
Long Bing'er continued: "This time His Majesty asked me to come here to steal the contract documents that King Ming colluded with various generals of the Zhao Kingdom, but... tonight it failed."
Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er, and said very sincerely: "If you want me to say that your Emperor Zhao is not very good, you might as well replace it with this King Ming, at least he knows how to value generals."
Long Bing'er glared at Xu Qing, then snorted softly, "Then what do you need to say?"
Now it was Xu Qing's turn to be surprised: "Do you know what other documents you helped steal? You might as well persuade your father to partner with him."
Long Bing'er shook his head and said: "No, His Majesty has sat on the throne for more than ten years and is already an orthodox royal family. King Ming is just a rebel, and the southwestern border is not peaceful now. The country of Zhao looks rich, but in fact it is already suffering from internal and external troubles. "
"Foreign aggression?" Xu Qing looked at Long Bing'er in confusion and said, "Is there any movement from the foreign race in the southwest again? You spend so much money every year and end up raising a white-eyed wolf?"
Hearing Xu Qing's words, Long Bing'er sighed, and continued: "If King Ming really mobilizes the generals who secretly surrendered to him to launch a rebellion, my father and the army under his control will definitely be transferred back to the country to counter the rebellion. , the southwestern frontier is unguarded, and the alien races that have always been eager to move can drive straight in."
"Emphasis on culture and restraint on martial arts has been practiced since the time of Emperor Taizu. Zhao Guo's prejudice against generals cannot be reversed by changing one emperor."
Xu Qing listened to Long Binger's words, with a look of surprise on her face, why is the silly girl so smart at this time? What you said is right.
Long Bing'er felt that Xu Qing looked at her with some surprise, so she gave him a blank look, and then said: "Besides, Duke Ming will not succeed at all."
Xu Qing was surprised and said: "You look down on King Ming so much? Didn't you say that he is proficient in military arts? Could it be that he is no match for that idiot on the throne?"
Long Bing'er, who knew that the emperor of her own country was really a fool, did not refute Xu Qing's words, but said: "Even if those generals secretly collude with King Ming, they will not be able to mobilize many troops to submit to them. In Zhao State, except for my father, the rest The military power is extremely scattered, without His Majesty's tiger talisman, the troops they can take away are pitifully small, as long as they put their minds to suppression, they will be able to suppress it sooner or later. A colossal disaster."
Xu Qing said: "Are you afraid that there will be chaos in Zhao Guo, and the foreign tribes from the southwest will drive straight into the Central Plains?"
Long Bing'er nodded: "The land of the Central Plains does not allow aliens to invade, but King Ming's actions have become the biggest variable, a variable that is enough to fall to Zhao's territory."
