Chapter 213 Brothers
An accident happened to the Yiqi army, a complete victory in the battle on the frontier, and the news that Heng Cang was dead has not been sent back. People in the palace thought that Heng Cang's disappearance had other motives, and the news that King Nandan was murdered by him spread Everyone knows that a battle with Yanyou is inevitable. When the water is in dire straits, people secretly rejoice that King Nandan has decided on the crown prince in time. At least, even if the other princes have any ideas, they dare not be blatant at this time. set off a storm.

But what they don't know is that the fourth prince Teng Xuanyi, who is the biggest uneasy factor in their hearts, is the biggest help for Teng Xuanxiao to ascend the Nandan throne. Nandan's biggest foreign invasion.

What is even more surprising is that the first thing the new king did after succeeding to the throne was to respect Teng Xuanyi's biological mother as the only queen mother, while his biological mother only enjoyed the posthumous title of princess.

Once the emperor and the courtiers, Teng Xuanxiao ruthlessly dismissed those officials who were fishing in troubled waters and stalking others, and didn't even give him the face of "resigning".Taking advantage of the confrontation between Nandan and Yanyou at the border, he praised the Yiqi Army for their contributions to Nandan over the years. Naturally, his words also revealed his regret for the Lei family.

The most indispensable thing in the officialdom is those people who are slick and good at guessing the holy will. Soon, the papers requesting a thorough investigation of "Lei's rebellion" were handed up one after another.Teng Xuanxiao knew in her heart that what was hidden between the lines was not honest advice, on the contrary, most of it was flattery and flattery to the new master.

He seems to have seen the shadow of his father's review of the memorials. At that time, among the papers that sued Lei for harboring evil intentions and intending to rebel, would there be one or two books that were mixed with a little helplessness and disobedience... Apart from that, I still have some regrets. It has been so long, and even if we can still find real evidence to prove Lei Shi's innocence, people will probably think it is "sacred" in their hearts!

However, these four words are enough, isn't it?People repeat themselves, these four words can get the desired result, that's enough!
Several brothers were made princes, but Teng Xuanxiao meant that only the two older brothers were allowed to participate in politics, while the three younger brothers who were regarded as one party could only be wealthy and idlers for a lifetime.

For this decision, the courtiers were still psychologically prepared. They thought that the new king was still very taboo about Teng Xuanyi, the son-in-law.It is the kindness of the new master to keep him alive, but the empress dowager's move is really puzzling.

Seven days later, the dust settled in the court of Nandan, and the urgent news of the victory of the First World War on the border also came back.Just when the courtiers were worried that Teng Xuanyi would take this opportunity to make trouble, he unexpectedly recommended Mu Yan and General Sima to the new king, and Teng Xuanxiao accepted these two generals willingly.

After a "thorough investigation", the Thunder Army did not slack at all when they fought against the enemy country. It is even nonsense to talk about colluding with each other. Evidence was used to slander and frame Lei Wanting, which led to a loyal and unjust death.

Mu Yan knew in his heart that it was too difficult to turn this case over, but it was also so simple. Lei's innocence was a fact, and getting today's result was called reality.

In the imperial study room, the six brothers gathered here. After experiencing so many ups and downs, everyone's state of mind has undergone great changes. In order to compete for this supreme position, they have lost too much...

Teng Xuanxiao sat in this seat that so many people dreamed of, looked at the five brothers standing respectfully in front of her, and sighed with a wry smile.

He stood up, walked around the table, and walked slowly in front of them. The five buried their heads lower, bowed their bodies slightly, and were humble and polite.

With a slight smile, he carefully took off the crown and put it on the table, Teng Xuanxiao said: "Now, can we talk normally?"

This move really shocked the five people, especially Teng Xuanyang and Teng Xuanhao. The two actually hope that Teng Xuanyi will inherit the throne.

"Third brother." Teng Xuanyi stood up straight and raised his head: "It's hard for you, Nandan, I will leave it to you and the second brother."

Teng Xuanyang and Teng Xuanhao looked at each other, where did this song come from?
Patting Teng Xuanyi's shoulder, the new owner did not have the airs of a king at all: "You are the most chic! You want beauties and not Jiangshan, not only that, but you also spoiled two little ones!"

Teng Xuanyun scratched the back of his head, Teng Xuanchun touched his nose, and the two smiled embarrassedly.

Teng Xuanyang heard some clues, and he tentatively said: "Fourth brother, you can't be... You and Lao... and Your Majesty have long ago..."

Teng Xuanyi smiled and said: "Brother, in fact, we should be like this, shouldn't we?"

Teng Xuanhao was at a loss: "What do you mean? Hey, can you tell me something I can understand?"

Teng Xuanyun turned sideways and jokingly said, "Second brother, your brain is smaller than mine, I think I'm stupid enough!"

Teng Xuanhao took a step back and slapped Teng Xuanyun on the back: "You little bastard! You have no rules at all!"

"Ouch!" Teng Xuanyun jumped behind Teng Xuanxiao and said loudly, "Third brother! He beat me! Do you care?"

Teng Xuanhao pointed at Teng Xuanyun and said, "Hey, you little bastard, you have learned how to complain! Come here!"

Teng Xuanyun stuck out his tongue and made a grimace: "Slightly slightly, no! Come on! Come here if you have the ability!"

Teng Xuanyi smiled and shook his head, this scene that ordinary people are most used to, but here it seems so precious and rare.

Teng Xuanxiao also couldn't hide her smile: "Second brother, his virtue is not a day or two, don't worry about him, besides, you just want him to annoy you in the near future."

Teng Xuanyang said: "What does this mean?"

Teng Xuanyi suppressed her smile, turned around and bowed to Teng Xuanyang: "Brother, I... have other things to deal with. Don't forget what we said before, Nandan is our home."

As soon as these words came out, the brothers were silent. They were in high positions, and their minds were full of fame and power, but no one had forgotten what a "family" was.

"Ugh!"

Teng Xuanchun's big sigh broke the silence in the room, he stretched his waist, turned his head to look at Teng Xuanyang, and said, "Brother, I will leave the responsibility of guarding the house to you, I am too playful , this imperial palace is so boring, so... I plan to go with fourth brother!"

Teng Xuanyang frowned: "You...what did you say?"

Teng Xuanchun said: "Brother, I'm sorry!"

Naturally, Teng Xuanyang didn't know what this "I'm sorry" contained. In his heart, this unbelievable and naughty brother was still a child who needed others to worry about everything.

"Your fourth brother has already said that there is something to deal with, so why are you making trouble! Just stay in Yujing honestly, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!"

Teng Xuanchun pursed his lips and was about to make a fool of himself, but Teng Xuanyi rarely stood up for him: "Brother, let him go, I'll just take care of him."

Teng Xuanyang paused, and finally expressed his concerns: "Are you... are you going to go with that girl? It's not that I, the big brother, told you, that girl is very weird, and she will definitely cause a lot of trouble. If you don't wait for Yugong, do you have to go out with her and suffer?"

Teng Xuanyi understands that the brothers are able to stand here in such harmony today because Zixi insists on protecting Teng Xuanchun. If these people know what he did before, it may be another scene at this time. Especially this eldest brother who seems to be strict but really loves him, who knows how sad and broken he will be...

There's nothing wrong with hiding something in good faith.

Glancing at Teng Xuanchun, Teng Xuanyi smiled and said, "We did cause a lot of trouble, but Zixi has been helping us to settle the incident. Brother, Heng Cang died, and it was Zixi who avenged you! This incident I don't know where the matter is, and I have to solve it!"

Teng Xuanyang's eyes widened: "He's dead? Did you catch him?"

Teng Xuanyi said: "Yes."

Teng Xuanyang's eye circles were red, and he nodded after a while: "Then you all be careful."

Seeing that the eldest brother let go, Teng Xuanchun's hanging heart was finally at ease. He must go with Zixi, but if he forcibly violated his elder brother's wishes, he would only make himself feel more guilty.

He walked up to Teng Xuanyang and hugged him tightly: "Brother, it's okay! Don't worry, I will take care of myself!"

Teng Xuanyang showed a gratified smile, patted his younger brother on the back, and said: "Stinky boy, get back early after finishing your work! Don't cause trouble, do you hear me?"

Teng Xuanchun nodded hurriedly and said, "I heard it!"

This kind of atmosphere was unimaginable before. Teng Xuanxiao looked at the crown on the table and said that the royal family was ruthless because of this.He didn't want to find out Zixi's origin, he didn't want to find out the reasons, and he didn't want to interfere with the decisions of his younger brothers. He felt that things were not simple, very difficult, and he felt even more that Yi Chunyun The three people's affection for that girl, when their father was alive, they seemed to be imprisoned by an indestructible iron chain, now, the most precious thing I can give them is freedom.

Putting on the crown, Teng Xuanxiao took a deep breath and said, "Okay, these days have been hard, go back and rest, don't bother the widow if you have nothing to do, and come to report if you have anything to do."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, saluted politely, and said in unison: "Yes! I will leave!"

Mu Yan and Qin Rao were waiting at the door, and when they saw a few people walking out with a smile on their faces, they hurried forward to salute and say hello.

Teng Xuanyi nodded, and grabbed Teng Xuanhao's sleeve: "Second Brother, haven't you visited her recently, have you?"

Teng Xuanhao was taken aback: "Huh?"

Teng Xuanyi smiled and said, "Come and sit at my house?"

At this time, Teng Xuanyun came up, hugged Teng Xuanhao's neck and whispered: "I don't even know if my mother is lost, how small do you think your brain is?"

Teng Xuanhao opened his mouth wide: "Huh?"

Feeling something swaying in front of them, several people raised their heads subconsciously, and the snowflakes fell from the sky, and everyone realized that it was already winter, and when it first snowed, the yearning was even more serious, and Teng Xuanyi suddenly felt exhausted. As for Guang, he smiled and said:
"Let's go back first and talk about it!"
