low-key is king

Chapter 128 Xuanyang Grand Court Meeting

"City Lord Yang, you should be satisfied with this result, right? After all, the hundreds of thousands of people in Watanabe Castle have been saved!"

Yan Qingxi, the lord of Hongshan City, let out a faint smile, and the sudden opening of his mouth brought back the attention of the three people opposite him, but it sounded like a mockery.

The city lord of Watanabe City took his son and fled the city. That is to say, Watanabe City's big victory had nothing to do with him, Yang Xun.

This is the reason why Yang Xun was extremely unwilling. If he hadn't escaped at that time, but stayed there to defend against the Hai clan, if there was such a result, the situation would be completely different.

Whether it is Watanabe City or other coastal cities, it is not a precedent that has never been breached by the Sea Clan, and the final outcome of those breached counties is miserable.

If Yang Xun did not escape, and led people to block the attack of the Hai Clan, and even drove the Hai Clan back to the Sea of ​​Reincarnation, then the fact that the embankment was eaten away by white ants would not only make up for the merits, but might also get the capital of the country. rewards.

It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now. The great victory of Watanabe Castle has nothing to do with Yang Xun, the city lord who abandoned the city and fled, ignoring hundreds of thousands of people.

It is absolutely impossible to say that Yang Xun has no regrets seeing a great achievement missed by him like this.

If it happens again, no one knows what decision he will make.

Given the circumstances at the time, Yang Xun felt that it was wisest for him to escape with his life. Who the hell would know that a judge and a silver fox two killers would be so powerful. This was simply unexpected.

"City Lord Yang, it seems that this great achievement will fall on the head of Zhendong Prince's Mansion!"

Yan Qingxi, however, had a different idea. At this moment, he pointedly stimulated Yang Xun, causing the lord of Watanabe City to raise his head in an instant, his eyes glistening.

"No, this can only fully explain that the Zhendong Prince's Mansion has colluded with the Hai Clan, otherwise it would not have been the result!"

Yang Xun put away those remorse and unwillingness, seeing him say this sentence seriously, the smile on Yan Qingxi's face on the opposite side couldn't help but a little bit more intense.

"Oh, what do you say?"

Yan Qingxi seemed to be waiting for Yang Xun's words, and asked without the slightest hesitation, with unknown guidance.

Compared with him, the lord of the county city far away in Hongshan City, Yang Xun was the party involved in the battle of Watanabe City.

"City Lord Yan, think about it, this time the Hai Clan is attacking in a big way, but there are three full-fledged five-level Sea Clans. If it weren't for the Zhendong Prince's Mansion colluding with the Hai Clan, how could it be stopped, let alone those Hai Clans?" The clan has rushed back to the Sea of ​​Samsara!"

Yang Xun's words are clear, and the more he speaks, the more comfortable he becomes.

This statement does not sound too many flaws at first glance, it shows that sometimes, fallacy can also become truth, as long as someone deliberately ignores certain facts.

"In terms of intelligence, it's not that it's the killer judge and Yinhu who turned the tide. These two seem to have nothing to do with Zhendong Palace!"

Yan Qingxi seemed a little dissatisfied, and brought up another fact, but the word "looks like" was quite heavy, as if reminding Yang Xun of something.

"City Lord Yan, have you ever heard that the killers of the Hidden Killing Society have a precedent for taking care of these mundane matters?"

Yang Xun was confident, and seeing Yan Qingxi nodding his head slightly, he said again: "In this case, the judge and Yinhu are probably the second men arranged by the Zhendong Prince's Mansion, otherwise why didn't they make a move sooner or later, and just waited for us to escape... ...and only after leaving?"

When talking about abandoning the city and fleeing, Yang Xun couldn't help showing embarrassment on his face, and finally changed to a reasonable word, but the meaning in his words has been clearly expressed.

"I think that the so-called judge and silver fox who hide their heads and show their tails may even...may be the Sea Clan in disguise!"

Yang Xunyue spoke more vigorously, and this sudden idea made his eyes light up. If this is the case, then it can be said that King Zhendong had indeed planned it long ago.

"But Watanabe City has indeed driven the Sea Clan back to the Sea of ​​Samsara, and the opponent has killed so many strong people, what do you think they are trying to do?"

Yan Xiqing had to think of all the possibilities. The question he asked was also true. The Hai clan chose to collude with the Zhendong Palace, but in the end he suffered heavy losses. This is obviously unreasonable.

"The so-called reluctance to bear children cannot trap wolves. The Hai Clan's plan is not just a mere small town of Watanabe. In my opinion, their goal is the entire Xuanyang country!"

Yang Xun has completely entered the role, without much hesitation at all, he just mentioned a possibility, which made Yan Qingxi nod slightly, and this answer made him quite satisfied.

"The Zhendong Prince's Mansion is seeking skins with tigers, playing with fire and setting itself on fire. I really think that the momentary glory will have the last laugh. Those nasty sea people will not come to make any promises to him at that time!"

In the end Yang Xun had a sneer on his face, affirmed the matter, and even cursed Zhendong Palace.

Now even he himself believed that the Zhendong Palace had colluded with the Hai Clan, so he was caught off guard.

"City Master Yang, this is a big matter. I have to report this matter to the empress as soon as possible. As for what to do next, I have to ask my empress to show me!"

After listening to the story edited by Yang Xun, I don't know whether Yan Qingxi didn't want to ask any more, or if he had already chosen to believe it. Hearing what he said, Yang Xun couldn't help but move.

It has been heard for a long time that in the present Xuanyang Kingdom, the Empress Dowager is in power, and many important affairs in the court are all decided by the Yan Queen. It seems that this is true.

Didn't look at the Yan's city lord at this time, didn't even say that he wanted to report to His Majesty the Xuanyang Monarch, did he just talk to the empress?
At this moment, Yang Xun couldn't help but make up his mind, he must hug the thigh of the city lord of Hongshan City tightly. If the Yan family really came to power by then, he might have a chance to make a comeback.

It's not that Yang Xun doesn't know that his statements are full of loopholes, but from Yan Qingxi's attitude, he smells a hint of conspiracy.

It seems that for the Yan family, the Zhendong Palace is also an annoying stumbling block. The other party wants to take this opportunity to kick it away, and the two hit it off without much effort.

From this, Yang Xun can also see that if he really overthrew the Zhendong King's Palace because of this, his contribution to the first accusation will definitely not be erased. Since the Lu family is unreliable, let's take refuge in the Yan family.

"City Master Yang, you write down what happened in Watanabe City and your inferences in the notebook, and I will send someone to Tianyang City right away!"

Yan Qingxi didn't drag his feet in the slightest, especially the word "inference" was bitten so hard that Yang Xun understood it, and couldn't help but feel more confident about his future.

…………

Xuanyang country, the capital of the country!

Today is the day of the Great Court Meeting in the first lunar month. All the civil servants and military generals of Xuanyang Kingdom, as long as they are qualified to be listed in the court, all gathered in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, waiting for the start of the Great Court Meeting.

At this moment, the court meeting has not officially started yet, the military generals and the civil servants are clearly separated, and they all gather together to discuss something, but on the civil servant's side, the expressions of the two old men are not very good-looking.

One of them, with gray hair, was Zhao Qidong, the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. Although he was nearly [-] years old, he was still full of energy. Even if he was only the head of civil servants, he still had a sense of majesty.

The current prime minister is not only the head of Xuanyang's civil servants, but the Zhao family where he belongs, the original prestige is not lower than that of the Yan family, but it has only taken a turn for the worse in the past year.

Next to Zhao Qidong, who also had a gloomy face, was Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Xu Mingfeng. He was also over [-] years old, and he was in charge of the appointment of courtiers in Xuanyang, and he was once very famous.

Xu Fengyi, the side concubine of the Zhendong Palace, is Xu Mingfeng's first-line daughter, and it is precisely because of the line of the Zhendong Palace that he was able to rise to the top and sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

It's just that Zhao Xu and Xu have been a little restless recently. The reason is that the power of Xuanyang Kingdom is in the hands of a woman from the Yan family.

Although Yan Chaolu is the mother of the Xuanyang Kingdom, since the founding of the Xuanyang Kingdom, there has never been a precedent for a queen to be in charge.

Moreover, looking at Yan Chaolu's ambitions for power, it seems that she is not only satisfied with giving orders, she wants to be the real king of a country.

It's a pity that the queen is very much trusted by the monarch of Xuanyang, and now that the monarch Lu Mingshan is sick in bed, even old courtiers like them can't see each other at all. The entire harem is the queen's world.

If the Zhendong Palace was still in the capital, they wouldn't have to worry so much, but now, the Zhendong Palace has been relegated to a remote town, and the monarch doesn't care about anything. All of this is moving in an unpredictable direction.

Since the two daughters were married into the Zhendong Palace, Xu Mingfeng and Zhao Qidong have written more than once in the past year, wanting to transfer the Zhendong King back to the capital.

But each time they were directly dismissed. Both Zhao and Xu knew that this was the work of Empress Yan, but the other party ordered the courtiers under the orders of the emperor, and they stood at the height of righteousness. They didn't have much to do.

"Brother Zhao, Your Majesty has not been to court for half a year, do you think..."

Xu Mingfeng looked around, then leaned into Zhao Qidong's ear and whispered a question, causing the latter's expression to change slightly.

"Brother Xu, don't talk about such things casually!"

As the prime minister, Zhao Qidong scolded, even if he had some doubts in his heart, he couldn't show it in public.

In the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony, there are quite a few eyes and ears of the Yan family.

Especially as soon as Zhao Qidong finished speaking, he saw a sharp gaze projected towards him.

He knew the identity of that person, even though he was a junior, but now he was able to climb on top of them and shit.

"Hmph, two old guys who are old but not dead, really think that by relying on the old and selling the old, they can shake my Yan family's status?"
