end song

Chapter 611 The key link (addition for the leader "_Book Friends A")
"Snapped!"

It wasn't loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.

There was silence in the Chuigong Hall for a long time.

In the end, Jia Sidao knelt down first and wept bitterly: "I am guilty...I failed to protect Your Majesty..."

Quan Manniang's old eyes were full of blood streaks, she closed her eyes, the wrinkles on her face deepened, and she only spoke four words.

"Disaster and Chaos."

Everyone was stunned again...

Most of the people in the hall were Jia Sidao's henchmen, and everyone couldn't believe their ears.

Only Li Xia was still watching this scene calmly.

How much can Quan's slap change?
The new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, Jia Sidao's authority as the prime minister and envoy of the Privy Council cannot be changed...

But Jia Sidao vaguely realized something, knelt on the ground, and glanced back at Li Xia.

At this glance, he thought a lot.

Thinking of the words I said with Yan Yunyun——

"After Li Xia slays the king, if he can survive, he will be considered capable..."

"It's easy to break the rules, but hard to make them. Does Li Xia have the ability?"

Quan's slap was too much like the rules his mother set for him when he was young.

Then, Jia Sidao saw Li Xia's eyes.

Neither of them spoke.

But Li Xia's eyes seemed to be talking.

"You want to play within the rules, right? This is the new rule, do you obey it or not?"

speechless to each other.

The anger in Jia Sidao's eyes was not towards Quan Manniang, but towards Li Xia.

……

"I don't dare to interfere in the government affairs." Quan Manniang murmured in a very slow voice, "I came here just to do this... Now that I've finished it, may I ask you, can you let me rest here?" ?”

"Hurry up, Mrs. Cixian please sit down!"

Quan Manniang only made Mrs. Guo, she dared not sit in the queen's seat in front of all the officials, and said, "Xu'er, help the old man go over."

Quan Yongjian hastily stepped aside.

Supported by Zhao Yu, Quan Manniang sat down in a corner.

Zhao Xuan kept his head shrunk, and dared not speak from the beginning to the end.

But Jia Sidao was still kneeling there, neither standing nor kneeling.

He immediately had a solution and glanced at Xie Daoqing.

Only then did Xie Daoqing come back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Jia Xiang, get up quickly, mother... Mrs. Ci Xian is too mournful, please forgive me, Jia Xiang."

The voice was embarrassing, after all, she was afraid of provoking Jia Sidao.

There is only one reason... Fan Wenhu is still in the palace, no emperor can restrain this general.

The scene was already extremely embarrassing, and fortunately today was just a secret meeting.

Only Cheng Yuanfeng, who was still working hard to stabilize the situation, spoke up.

"The family and the country are in a catastrophe, and I hope that you will be calm and considerate, and put the state affairs first."

This was for Jia Sidao and Li Xia.

In the main hall, there are only these two people who are best at fighting, one who used to guard Sichuan and Shu, and the other who used to guard Jinghu.

Now that there is no emperor, Cheng Yuanfeng really doesn't want to have another conflict.

"Feiyu, how about staying in Lin'an temporarily during a national funeral? If you are innocent, the truth will keep you safe."

Li Xia shook his head, clasped his fists to the sky, and said, "The war in the southwest is in danger. I am ordered by His Majesty to go back to Shu and guard it. How dare I stay because of groundless slander? It's a national funeral, and I should give up my life for the country."

"Slander?" Jia Sidao yelled, "How dare you say you didn't participate in the regicide?!"

After being slapped, he also became angry.

I thought the big deal would be to support the clan.

"That's right!" Zhao Yuxi immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Li Xia is extremely suspected of killing the king!"

At this moment, he is more eager than any Jia Party.

It was precisely because of Li Xia's return to Lin'an that he brought the situation back to such a state, which angered Jia Sidao and Quan Manniang's slap.It forced Jia Sidao to stand on the opposite side of Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Yuxu wished that Jia Sidao would cut off Zhao Yun's bloodline now.

Ye Mengding's complexion changed again, and he didn't know how to continue to win Jia Sidao over to King Baozhong.

Cheng Yuanfeng hurriedly shouted: "Left Prime Minister! Hugh can't accuse Feiyu again until there is no evidence... Feiyu, why don't you just stay in Lin'an and wait for the truth to be found out?"

Li Xia refused to give in, and said: "The right minister's words imply that he thinks I'm a regicide?"

Rao Huchen shouted: "Your Prime Minister puts the country as the most important thing. If you are innocent, so what if the facts are found out?"

"He's innocent?! It's a big joke in the world..."

The hall was once again in chaos.

When all the extremely intelligent and important officials gathered together, the scene became even more absurd.

"I want to say something..."

The old woman's voice sounded again, very softly, but all the officials looked at Quan Mannia again.

Many people secretly thought that she was a bit over the line.

National affairs have not yet reached the point where a lady can speak.

When the hall quieted down, Quan Manniang said slowly: "I don't interfere in state affairs, I only talk about family affairs, officials... my son... was definitely not killed by Li Jieshuai, and Xuan'er never covered up rebellion..."

"I'm afraid the old lady doesn't know..."

"No, I know everything you have accused Li Jieshuai of. He is innocent."

Quan Mannia gave no reason.

Jia Sidao was very puzzled.

He firmly believed that the official family was killed by Li Xia, but as a mother, why did the Quan family cover up the murderer of her son?
Even if she doesn't know, she shouldn't be deceived by a stranger.

Quan Manniang's tone was very firm, and she added: "I have evidence, which is enough to prove... the suspicion Li Jieshuai has suffered so far is all because of being framed..."

Cheng Yuanfeng asked respectfully: "Dare to ask the old lady, what is the evidence?"

Quan Manniang's eyes became more and more sad, and she said slowly and laboriously: "The evidence...is not suitable to be shown to the gentlemen. However, this old man will protect Li Jieshuai with his life."

"This……"

Jia Sidao had no choice but to make a compromise, saying: "Madam, Sidao also thinks that King Zhong did not shield the regicide, so he followed what the Prime Minister said. Please King Zhong succeed to the throne, and temporarily stay Li Jieshuai in Lin'an to wait for the investigation. Qing, how is it?"

He originally wanted to be Li Zhaoxuan, which was simpler and more controlled.As for establishing a clan, it was just to threaten Ye Mengding.

In his mind, Mrs. Cixian only came forward to protect her grandson, so she could still use the strategy of "supporting Zhao Xuan and killing Li Xia" to deal with it.This is the case with Ye Mengding.

Unexpectedly, Quan Manniang replied firmly again: "Li Jieshuai is innocent."

She stopped talking, waved her hand, and said, "Queen."

Xie Daoqing hurried forward and put his ear to Quan Manniang's mouth.

"Mother, please tell..."

After a while, Xie Daoqing returned to his seat and spoke, intending to directly decide today's result.

"Your Majesty's legacy... His heir Zhao Yu succeeded to the throne, and Ye Mengding was transferred to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Officials and also to know the affairs of the Privy Council. Yang Dong moved to participate in political affairs; Li Xia quickly returned to Sichuan and Shu to fight, and was not allowed to stay in Lin'an..."

Jia Sidao listened silently.

Xie Daoqing did not dismiss him, because now the throne is vacant, and no one is qualified to dismiss Jia Sidao.

However, the division of power by two more key ministers is equivalent to obliterating his achievements over the years.

This is clearly to be his enemy.

He couldn't believe that Quan Mannia, an old woman, dared to do this.

"Queen!"

Jia Sidao finally spoke and interrupted Xie Daoqing's words.

This is the first time he has been rude since he has been an official for more than [-] years.

"I think that Ye Mengding and Yang Dong have the hearts of powerful ministers, so they are not suitable to be the key ministers... Could it be that the empress has forgotten the old story of Shi Miyuan?"

In a word, the whole hall was shocked.

This is a threat.

At the time of the national mourning, Jia Sidao actually threatened the queen.

Xie Daoqing was shocked, his hands shook, and when he touched the curtain, the bead rope wobbled.

She didn't want to do this either, but this was the official biological mother who spoke up.

In case Jia Sidao is really angered, who can stop him from becoming a powerful minister with the merits of the battle in Ezhou?
She couldn't help turning her head to look at Quan Mannia, not knowing what to do for a moment.

……

Only Zhao Yuxi was ecstatic in his heart!
Finally, Li Xia and Quan's family pushed Jia Sidao to this point.

It's time for Jia Sidao to see clearly that Zhao Yu is not worthy of support, he should establish a clan...

The ministers did not even dare to breathe.

Last night was nothing more than a small infighting between a group of imperial guards.But today, if one is not good, it may trigger a real battle between Sichuan and Shu and Jinghu soldiers...

Even Cheng Yuanfeng didn't know how to stabilize the situation, so he couldn't help turning his head to look at Li Xia.

Li Xia still looked calm, stepped forward, and said: "Your Majesty, wait for the decree, and invite His Royal Highness King Zhong to ascend the throne."

No one responded. Enthronement etiquette is not like this. What is discussed today is to let the ministers reach a tacit agreement.

Seeing that no one responded, Li Xia said again: "The foundation of the country has been decided, I ask the empress and Mrs. Cixian to take refuge temporarily. Don't worry, the country's situation is stable..."

Jia Sidao looked at Quan Shi.

I couldn't believe that Quan Shi was not frightened by his threat, but actually wanted to get up and leave.

"Wait a minute!" Jia Sidao got confused and shouted, "Who said the foundation of the country has been decided?!"

"The queen said."

"The ministers have not agreed yet, you, Li Xia, are suspected of killing the king..."

Li Xia ignored Jia Sidao, and only shouted: "The empress and Mrs. Cixian please stay away for now."

Cheng Yuanfeng already had a bad feeling, and shouted, "Li Xia! What are you going to do?!"

"Follow the official family's legacy!"

Jia Sidao was only in a daze for a while, Quan Manniang and Xie Daoqing had left the hall, boarded the phoenix chariot, and left the front hall.

He couldn't help turning to Cheng Yuanfeng, and shouted: "Your Prime Minister! You guessed it, and Li Xia's murder of the king was guessed by you..."

"There is no evidence." Cheng Yuanfeng said: "Master Zuo, that's it? Your Majesty has given the last instruction..."

"what?"

Jia Sidao smiled subconsciously, forgetting that this was a national funeral.

He glanced around.

If it ends here, Li Xia, Ye Mengding, and Cheng Yuanfeng are all winners, and only he and his henchmen lose.

Lost half the power of the Privy Council.

This is the first time in history that he has lost anything substantial.

……

Seeing Jia Sidao's face change, Cheng Yuanfeng stepped forward to appease him.

"Master Zuo, Mrs. Cixian is too mournful. When she encounters a national mourning, she should be considerate and put the community first..."

Jia Sidao's expression became even uglier.

Zhao Yusi pondered widely.

Mrs. Ci Xian dared to disregard the wishes of the ministers, which is to show that she will not show Jia Shui face.

If Jia Sidao wants to fight again, he can only help the clan to grab the throne and grab it by force.

But he didn't dare to encourage Jia Sidao, and he became more hopeful in his heart.

at last……

"Fan Wenhu! Take down the Rebellion of Regicide!"

Rao Huchen shouted in shock: "Jia Sidao! What are you going to do? You can't rebel..."

There are guards outside the door trying to rush in.

Cheng Yuanfeng was also surprised, and shouted out of the hall first: "Who dares to enter the hall without an order! It's the same as conspiracy!"

"Jia Sidao, try it." Li Xia was not afraid, and shouted: "My three hundred elite soldiers are outside the palace, you dare to rebel and try!"

When Fan Wenhu saw the situation, he rushed towards Li Xia.

He didn't need guards, so he wanted to capture Li Xia first.

"Oh!"

Li Xia moved faster and punched Fan Wenhu hard in the face.

"Li Feiyu! What are you doing?!"

"Kill him! Fan Wenhu! Kill him for me... someone!"

"Who dares to enter the palace? Treat them as conspiracy!"

"Try to rebel!"

"Stop for me!"

"Jiao Zhi! Pull them away!"

"No! Jia Xiang, Li Shuai, no..."

A group of Jia party officials quickly hugged Jia Sidao, pulling him aside, not daring to help Fan Wenhu.

~~
Quan Manniang had already returned to the Hall of Compassion, summoned Yan Rong to the front, and sighed helplessly.

"That memorial... destroy it."

"Yes." Yan Rong lowered his eyebrows, took out a memorial from his sleeve, and showed Quan Manniang another look.

Then he tore it open and put it on the candle.

Smoke rose.

She thought of Li Xia's words.

"If it's just to kill Zhao Yun, you don't need to be so troublesome. Most of the arrangements I made tonight are for the situation after Zhao Yun's death. But there is a key person that I haven't met yet."

"It's not difficult, as long as you say a few words and hand something to Mrs. Cixian, it can guarantee your future future..."

The object was now in her hands, being burned to ashes.

——Wen Yunsun's Memorial.

The few words that Li Xia wanted to deliver were very long...

~~
"Oh!"

In Chuigong Hall, Li Xia elbowed Fan Wenhu on the face, held his head down, and slammed it down on the pillar.

"No!"

Blood has splattered out.

The ministers were stunned.

Cheng Yuanfeng regretted that he shouldn't have banned the guards from entering...

~~
Yan Rong was still thinking about the conversation with Quan Shi last night.

"This memorial... this memorial..."

"The officials said he didn't believe it. How could King Zhong join forces with Li Xia to kill King Rong? This is absolutely impossible. Do you believe it, mother?"

"Of course I don't believe it! Of course I don't believe it! How could Xuan'er do this? Impossible, who is flattering Xuan'er..."

"If this case continues to be investigated, someone will surely identify King Zhong as not being of the blood of King Rong..."

"Nonsense! Xuan'er is born with Rui Qin, I know about it, this matter... my heart is like a mirror..."

"The officials said that these clans really fail to make a plan and make another plan. They must abolish the loyal king before they are willing to be reconciled. Such a poisonous plan can also be thought of. But the officials are also worried. Make King Zhong the crown prince, I'm afraid they will rebel."

"rebel?"

"Mother of the country, think about it. The clan first deceived Wu Qian, and now if it deceives someone again. The chaos tonight is really big..."

~~
The corner of Li Xia's mouth was also bleeding, and he smashed Fan Wenhu's head down again.

"Li Xia! Stop it! Stop it!"

Rao Huchen wanted to come up to pull Li Xia, but he pushed him away.

"Shuai Li... Shuai Dian... stop! You all don't come in! Don't come in!"

"Who dares to come in and try again!" Li Xia roared, "Do you think I can't put down the rebellion?!"

"Ah!" Fan Wenhu's head was covered with blood, and he was also roaring, "Go to hell!"

He could actually fight, but he didn't expect Li Xia to kill him as soon as he made a move, and he was already dizzy from the blow.

"Boom..."

~~
The memorial in Yan Rong's hand had been reduced to ashes, and he couldn't help but think of what Li Xia said when he handed the memorial to her.

"The same thing, in the eyes of different people...different. When Zhao Yun saw the memorial, he thought of killing me. Because he understands everything and knows that the courtiers will stop in moderation. And, he doesn't care about killing me;

Quan's is different. Quan's doesn't know anything, not even why Wei Guansun died. He thought that Zhao Yurui died of illness, and Zhao Yun kept her secret from her for too long.She would not understand Jia Sidao's devious thoughts.

Therefore, when Quan saw this memorial, he would not believe it, and afterwards, he felt extremely disgusted.She'll just think 'someone is persecuting her nice grandson' and after that, it's up to you to guide her. "

"Okay, how do I guide her?"

"Simple, Jia Sidao wants to support the clan."

"Did you know? The official family and the Quan family talked about choosing a son-in-law, saying 'Jia Sidao always uses me as a bargaining chip', can it be used?"

"Very well, this is his old habit, you remind Quan Shi of this."

"I get it, you know, I'm the best at these..."

"It doesn't matter, I will push Jia Sidao step by step to the point where Quan Shi believes."

"Sure?"

"Definitely. Cheng Yuanfeng and Ye Mengding are a little weak after all. Jia Sidao understands their temperament best, so he must threaten them with 'supporting the clan'."

"Then, how can we ensure that Quan Shi sees all this?"

"You ask Guan De to inquire. As long as you hear that I have returned to the court, let Quan Shi come to see me. It would be best for me to see her alone. If it is really not possible, I can do it during the discussion..."

Li Xia knew very well that Quan's family would protect him.

Because the Quan family must ensure that her grandson succeeds to the throne, and it has been confirmed that the clan has begun to kill.

And Ye Mengding was able to act in political affairs, but he was too weak when involved in the struggle for imperial power.

Looking at today's Lin'an, only he, Li Xia, can compete with Jia Sidao in military matters.

He will receive the support of the whole family, until Zhao Yu succeeds to the throne and Jia Sidao is deprived of power.

Before that, the harder he fought with Jia Sidao, the more at ease Quan Shi felt.

The premise of all this is that Zhao Yun, who sees through everything, is dead.

Only during the period between the death of Zhao Yun and the succession of the new emperor, the Quan family has the most authority, because this is the time when Xie Daoqing is most afraid of his mother-in-law, so Xie Daoqing's empress is more useful and prestigious than Yan Rong...

This is the new rule.

"Oh!"

Li Xia grabbed Fan Wenhu's head and slammed it against the pillar for the last time.

The gold paint has been knocked out of the hole.

Blood spattered Li Xia's face.

Fan Wenhu's fingers trembled and stopped moving.

He was silent.

dead.

Died above this hall.

Li Xia stumbled and stood up, wiping the blood from his mouth.

He also had several cuts on his body, and half of his face was swollen from Fan Wenhu's beating.

But still terrifying.

All the courtiers in the palace were stunned, as if their throats had been strangled.

Li Xia only glanced around, and finally, his eyes fell on Jia Sidao's face.

"You... like playing chess? We played this game according to the rules, and you lost... Come on, tell me, can you lift the table?"

　I am grateful to the lord "_书友A" for becoming the lord of this book. Let me say a few words. The time for adding this time is a bit special.
