After the divorce, the salted fish beauty took the script of the villain

Chapter 690
"A Ning has been raised in Tianshen Mountain since she was a child. She doesn't know the rules in the city. She is unscrupulous and has no respect. As a goddess, she can ask for whatever she likes. There is never any restriction that she cannot ask for. Helian, you are different. You are not a goddess. You She is a counselor in my palace. She went out of the city with her privately and did not return home for a few days. She was not in the city on such a big day as New Year's Eve. What do you think I should do to punish you?"

Xie Jue knelt down, kowtowed, accepted all the punishments, and did not put the responsibility on Lan Ningzhen. Although the two kings were reckless and simple, they admired him for this. Xie Jue has always dared to admit his actions and would not shirk responsibility man.He appreciated this very much. The second king asked Xie Jue to kneel under the cloister and punished him to kneel in the snow for an hour.

This punishment was even more painful than being beaten twenty times. There was a thin layer of ice on the corridor, and kneeling on the ice in the corridor was extremely damaging to the knees and body.Xie Jue knelt for less than half an hour before feeling numbness in his limbs. The advisers also knew that Xie Jue had been punished, and Xiao Jinghong's death was considered an explanation, which Xie Jue had to pay.

Du Fang felt that Xie Jue was worth the punishment. If he hadn't been pulled out of the city, he would have died on New Year's Eve.

One of the advisers said, "Helian was taken out of the city by Lan Ningzhen. He couldn't refuse. It can only be said that he was lucky and escaped. No matter who entered the imperial court that day, he would die. Lan Ningzhen calculated Saved his life.”

When Lan Ningzhen returned to the palace, she also knew that a counselor had died in the Second Prince's Palace. She secretly thought that Xie Jue would be punished if she went wrong. She wanted to go to the palace for the first time, but stopped. If she went, she would be exempted from punishment. How should the counselors in the government view this matter? No matter what, this punishment must be endured.

Fortunately, she took Xie Jue out of the city.

Otherwise, it would be a dead end for Xie Jue to go to the imperial court on New Year’s Eve!
Lan Ningzhen couldn't just watch Xie Jue being punished. She ordered someone to send a box of gifts to the Second Prince's Mansion, nominally for the Princess. Knowing that the Second Prince liked weapons, she also picked a dagger inlaid with gems.

When the second king heard that his servants had come to report and received the gift, Xie Jue also knelt for more than half an hour. The second king stopped and ordered him to go back to rest. Xie Jue was carried down, and his legs were almost numb from the cold. numbness.When I knelt down again, my legs were almost useless. The counselors lived in the same courtyard and helped each other. Moreover, Xiao Jinghong's death made them know that counselors are like grasshoppers on the same boat. He and he already took care of each other, and ordered people to boil water early. As soon as Xie Jue came back, he tucked him into a warm bed and used a hot towel to compress his legs.

Xie Jue's legs, which were numb from the cold, gradually began to feel. They were not frozen yet. Du Fang asked, "How are you doing? Can you move?"

"Much better, thank you, Brother Du."

"Brother Helian, you're welcome. We should take care of each other. The prince is angry, but he is still holding back a breath of anger in his heart. He has been looking for you since he came back that day, wanting to express his anger, but you happened to be away, so it is inevitable that he will be angry. ." As he spoke, Du Fang turned to this matter again, "Tell me...how can I vent my anger on the prince about this matter?"

When Xie Jue was kneeling on the snow, he had been thinking about how to give him such a tone, and stood still for the current plan. The Northern Barbarian King wanted brothers and sisters to respect each other, so he pretended to be brothers and sisters.

But the second king's temperament would not allow him to hold back his breath.

If he wants to express this to the Second King, the First King and the Sixth King must have actual handles for him to grasp.

Xie Jue's legs were raised for two days and he could get out of bed and walk. The second king really summoned Xie Jue and asked him how he could express his anger. Xiao Jinghong could not die in vain. Xie Jue knew that the second king did not care about Xiao Jinghong. Instead of caring about his own life, he was not as valued as the king in front of the Northern Barbarian King.

The king is the eldest son. He is brave and good at fighting. He is the warrior that the Northern Barbarian King likes. No matter what, the Northern Barbarian King will prefer the eldest prince. Xie Jue said, "The king is the eldest son of the king. He has military exploits and has won the king's favor. After a defeat, he wants to win." To win back a city, you need to hit the target with one strike and look for opportunities. The king punished the counselors, and all the palaces stayed calm and did not dare to act rashly. At this time, the prince must be calm and composed, and cannot be led by anger. Do you want To win back a city, they also want to kill them all, and the best way now is to wait for the opportunity."

"After all is said and done, I can only wait!"

"Of course not. I have a way to make them expose their shortcomings. Your Majesty, please be patient." Xie Jue said very calmly, "A gentleman's revenge is never too late in ten years." "Okay, I will believe you just once!"

Xie Jue breathed a sigh of relief. He was now afraid that the two kings would lose control and ruin his arrangement.

The power of the wives of the two princes has always been very powerful. There is the Lan clan and the Shanyu clan, both of which are large tribes in the Northern Barbarians. However, in addition to the Lan clan, other clans also have women marrying other princes.Not all tribal forces are loyal to the two kings. The Northern Barbarians have been fighting on the front line all year round, and the food and grass have always been in the hands of the Northern Barbarian King's eldest princess and the eldest prince. This is the lifeblood of the Northern Barbarians, and no one can touch it. No matter what the princes do, In the struggle for power, no one can touch the food and grass.

Different from the overt and covert fighting in Yanyang, the clans would reach out to the army and tamper with the rations and weapons, but the Northern Barbarians would not because they had priests behind them.The red sand mine is a sharp weapon in the hands of the second and third kings, so the eldest prince and the second prince compete so fiercely. They both hope to become the next king of the Northern Barbarians.

Xie Jue began to organize the factional and political disputes in Fox City since he became the counselor of the Second Prince's Palace. Xiao Jinghong's death also gave him room to play.

Xiao Jinghong was not a boy from Qianling Town. His father was a subordinate of the Shanyu clan. His death would naturally arouse the dissatisfaction of the Shanyu clan, so after Xie Jue recovered from his leg injury, he wandered around the Shanyu clan. Among the clans.Then the two kings made deep friendship with them in the name of comforting the Shanyu family, and instigated the relationship between brother Xiao Jinghong and the king.

The eldest prince is more rough-tempered than the two princes and has no way to control his subordinates. Xie Jue has long heard of this. Military discipline on the battlefield is strict to the point of harshness. Xiao Jinghong's elder brother Xiao Jingtian was killed in the battle a year ago. The king rebuked him in public and was not convinced. Now that his brother died because of the king, he secretly took refuge with the two kings.

The two kings did not know the purpose of Xie Jue's move and were very confused. Xie Jue asked lightly, "My lord, after asking this question, how far can you go?"

"How far can you go?"

"What if the king dies?" Xie Jue asked, "He is your brother and a contender for your throne. Do you want to take a breath or do you want him to die?"

Xie Jue asked calmly, but the second king's eardrums were numb when he heard it.

"I only want him to be disabled, but I don't want him to die!"

Xie Jue had to lament the innocence of the Northern Barbarian prince. He was fighting for power to such an extent that he only wanted his brother to be crippled, not dead. The royal power had no father and son, let alone brothers!
He should be sent to Yanyang to accept the cruelty of the Yanyang royal family's struggle for power.

Patricide, son murder, brother murder, nothing more normal!
Unless they are like his Xie family, brothers never compete for power. If true brothers, friends and brothers covet the royal power, it will be life and death.

Being kind to the enemy is cruel to yourself.

"My lord, if he doesn't die, how will you succeed to the throne? The king only has eyes for his brave and capable eldest son. When will he see you?" Xie Jue looked at him ruthlessly, "You and he can only live one person. Don’t be naive.”
