Chapter 3002: Meet

Xiao Er finally agreed to meet with King Qin.

He still cares about Luo Qijun's capable man.

Riding over from the Northern Qi Capital City, on the third day when Luo Qijun

was hung up, Xiao Er came to Wuyun Town, which was far away from Canglan Town.

Originally these two towns belonged to the Northern Qi Dynasty. Later, Xiao

Ziye gave Canglan Town to Yun Dai and it became the place of Da Zhou.

Canglan Town was also the fief when Queen Jin Caicai was the princess.

This town has a dangerous terrain, a good place that is easy to defend and

difficult to attack, but it is really poor.

When the town was given to Caicai as a fief, there were not many practical

benefits, just to express the empress's love and respect for her.

Now the Dazhou army is guarding Canglan Town, and the Northern Qi army is

firmly blocking Wuyun Town, looking at each other.

Xiao Er took a rest in Wuyun Town, and asked to meet with Zhao Shu alone.

Zhao Shu didn't care about it, so he went.

The meeting place was chosen in a military tent in the middle of the two

border towns.

The military account was set up temporarily.

Zhao Shu brought only a dozen bodyguards.

The second is the same.

He saluted Zhao Shu first: "I have seen the emperor's uncle."

"sit."

Zhao Shu sat down at will, his expression was always cold, but his tone was

mild.

Xiao Er knew that the emperor's uncle had always had a cold face. Except when

facing the queen mother, I never saw him smile.

He sat across from him with his hands on his knees, as well-behaved as before.

"Uncle Huang, I heard that you want to see me."

"Don't pretend to be like this king." Zhao Shu picked up the teapot and poured

tea.

The conditions here are no better than those in Kyoto. The tea you usually

drink is made with brick tea, which is bitter, refreshing, and cheap.

Alcohol is not allowed in the army, everyone loves to drink brick tea.

Xiao Er smiled and said, "Everything has been busy these days. I didn't come

to meet the emperor in time. Don't blame the emperor. Just now... I saw Luo

Qijun being hung from the tower. If he offends the emperor, I apologize for

him and ask the emperor. Uncle can spare his life. After all, he is also a

talent, so it is a pity that he died like this."

"Those who betray Da Zhou are not talents, but traitors." Zhao Shu said

coldly, "For a traitor, this king does not need to care whether he is a talent

or a waste."

"Uncle Huang, there must be a misunderstanding in this. How could he betray Da

Zhou?"

"You are his master. Wherever the master goes, the dog will naturally follow."

"Uncle Huang, I don't understand what you said."

"Little Er, why do you resist the decree?"

"Northern Qi has a lot of things, I can't go away."

"This kind of perfunctory excuse, you should tell outsiders to listen to it."

Zhao Shu said with a deep expression, "Little Er, stop here!"

Xiao Er's smile was also gently gathered: "Uncle Huang, I will not betray Da

Zhou, betray the Emperor."

"You privately withhold taxes, resist the decree and refuse to return, support

your own self-respect, and prevent my Dazhou soldiers from entering the

territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty. These are not betrayals, but what are

they?"

"I can explain all of these."

"you said."

"With regard to taxation, I have long since confessed to the emperor that the

people of the Northern Qi Dynasty have had a hard time and asked the court to

continue to postpone the taxation of the Northern Qi Dynasty for three years."

"The emperor agreed?"

"No."

"Since there isn't, you have violated Da Zhou's national law!"

Xiao Er frowned: "I just, I really can't bear to make the people of Northern

Qi suffer. The emperor and uncle don't know that some people even sell their

children to sell their children in order to pay these servitude taxes. I think

this is not a scene that the emperor wants to see. "
