Chapter 160 Xu Huainan is dead
Li Mibi was the shadow prime minister beside the empress. He knew many things, but he could not say them.
It’s about Xu Huainan.
He also saw——
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.
This is the case with the Queen of Beimang.
Even he himself was in the same situation and there was no way he could escape.
Li Mibi looked down, at the countless steps and the disappearing figure of Xu Huainan, and he fell into deep thought.
Just now.
There was a sound of footsteps behind Li Mibi.
A sharp voice sounded, a little breathless, "Master Li, Master Li, please slow down."
Li Mibi turned around and saw that it was the eunuch who was writing beside the Empress. He smiled and asked, "What's the matter, eunuch?"
The eunuch holding the pen hurriedly said, "Lord Li, His Majesty wants you to go."
Li Mibi followed the eunuch without any delay.
Not long after.
Walked into a side hall.
This is where the empress handles state affairs after leaving court.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you," Li Mibi said in a deep voice.
"Lord Li, please get up." The Queen of Beimang stared at Li Mibi and said with a smile, "I know that you have something on your mind..."
"It's still about Xu Huainan..."
"Am I right?!"
Li Mibi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, my humble servant's mind is all on the great cause of Beimang and sharing your worries. I don't think too much about other things."
The Queen of Northern Mang stared at Li Mibi and sighed, "There are fewer and fewer people around me who speak the truth. I don't know when everyone started to flatter and say nice things."
"I thought I had changed."
"But I haven't changed. I still want to go south."
Li Mibi wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back.
The Queen of Beimang had long seen Li Mibi's dilemma. She did not continue to ask, but said coldly: "Forget it, when Tuoba Bodhisattva comes back, let him come to see me."
Li Mibi breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully, "I obey your command."
Walking out of the side hall, Li Mibi suddenly thought of something, and his face looked gloomy.
Therefore, when he left the palace, he immediately went to the King's Palace in the North Courtyard.
As soon as I got close, I felt an indescribable, inexplicable aura.
Li Mibi was startled: "It looks dangerous."
He walked up and knocked on the door.
Not long after.
A middle-aged man dressed in servant's clothes opened the door. Seeing it was Li Mibi, he bowed deeply.
When Li Mibi saw this man, he asked, "Where is your master?"
The servant said sadly: "Dead."
Li Mibi was stunned, as if he was struck by lightning.
"Quick, quick, take me there."
Li Mibi said in a hoarse voice.
The servant took Li Mibi to Xu Huainan's study.
But Xu Huainan was seen lying on the table.
People are already dying.
Li Mibi dismissed all the servants, turned to look at Xu Huainan's body, stamped his feet and said: "Old friend, why did you leave like this?"
"You have better options."
"His Majesty……"
Li Mibi choked with sobs.
In fact, even he himself was not sure whether Her Majesty the Empress would really let Xu Huainan go?
The answer is no, no one knows.
Perhaps only the Queen of Beimang herself knows the answer.
There is a letter next to the table.
It was written on it: "From Li Mi Bi himself."
Li Mibi was slightly startled, picked up the envelope, opened it and read it.
He was also slightly stunned.
Xu Huainan knew that he was no longer useful.
The reason why he was able to stay in Beimang and become the King of Beiyuan today is that his life speaks for itself.
Because he has a relative, the King of Beiliang in Liyang, and he really has some talents.
If it weren't for his cousin, he might not have reached his current position.
Xu Huainan told himself countless times that this wealth and glory was actually a gamble and it could be gone at any time.
In other words, Xu Huainan already knew the outcome of today.
He just chose his own path to death.
As for his children, he didn't know where they served as officials or what they were going to do, and he didn't want to care.
Li Mibi was stunned.
Without hesitation, he walked out of Xu's house and went directly to the palace.
When the Queen of Beimang learned that Li Mibi had returned, she was also slightly surprised.
She had never seen Li Mibi like this.
And when he saw Li Mibi, there was sadness on his face.
The Queen of Northern Mang asked suspiciously, "Lord Li, why are you in such a hurry?"
"That's not like your style."
"..."
Li Mibi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Xu Huainan is dead."
The Queen of Beimang was startled.
Been sluggish for a long time.
The Queen of Beimang raised her head, her eyes moist, but she didn't let Li Mibi see it. She asked with a choked voice, "Any last words?"
Li Mibi said respectfully, "Yes."
He handed over a letter left by Xu Huainan with both hands.
The eunuch in charge has already handed the letter to the Queen of Beimang.
After reading it, the Queen of Beimang looked serious and sighed, "Lord Xu is a loyal minister of Beimang."
"Give him a good burial."
"Pass on my order and give him a lavish burial."
"Treat them with state courtesy."
The eunuch in charge had already had his majesty's edict written down, and it was quickly sent to the Xu residence.
The Queen of Beimang stood up, feeling unhappy, and walked back and forth in the hall. She turned and stared at Li Mibi, "Although I did not kill him, I also harmed him."
"I have no intention of forcing him. I am just asking casually because in my opinion, Li Mibi is a loyal minister of Beimang and has made indelible contributions to the strength of Beimang."
"I think his son Xu Beizhi is a talented person, so I want him to have a place in Beimang and make some contributions to it."
Li Mibi remained silent.
The Queen of Beimang was upset.
She waved to Li Mibi and said, "Go back."
Li Mibi bowed and left.
---------------
Tuoba Bodhisattva returned to Beiting and was soon summoned by the empress.
The military god of Beimang quickly came to the palace and paid homage to the Queen of Beimang.
"My dear Lord Tuoba. Thank you for your hard work this time." said the Queen of Beimang.
"Your Majesty, it is my duty as a humble official and I should work hard," Tuoba Bodhisattva said in a deep voice.
The Queen of Northern Mang nodded and said, "Lord Tuoba has helped me solve my problems, and I have seen it all. This time I hurriedly summoned you because I want to know, Lord Tuoba, do you think the time has come to attack Liyang?"
Upon hearing this, Tuoba Bodhisattva said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think it is not the right time yet."
"There are still some Northern Mang nobles who are not convinced. We are still a mess internally."
"If we want to march south and defeat the Liyang army in one fell swoop, we must unite as one. Otherwise, if someone holds us back, we won't be able to exert our full strength."
The Queen of Northern Mang pondered for a moment, then stared at Tuoba Bodhisattva again, "How long will it take for you to gather the nobles of Northern Mang?"
Tuoba Bodhisattva said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please give me another three months."
"I will definitely give your Majesty a satisfactory answer and build the most powerful army in the Northern Mang."
"...When the time comes, taking down Li Yang will be a piece of cake."
The Queen of Beimang pondered for a while and asked, "My dear, do you have any unspeakable secrets?"
"If you have any, please tell me."
