After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 511

The setting sun hangs on Maple Leaf Mountain.

There is a night breeze.

Xiahou Zhuo suddenly swayed, he felt a little cold.

He looked at Ning Chuchu, grinned, and really got off the chariot, without taking the knife he hung on the chariot that had followed him for many years.

He stood more than ten feet away from Ning Chu Chu.

He bowed respectfully, and there was a look of kindness on that dark face at this moment.

"Your Highness, I haven't seen you in ten years!"

"His Royal Highness has grown up, seeing her as if her mother came in person, the old servant is very relieved."

After finishing these few words, Xia Houzhuo seemed to have aged suddenly.

His face is no longer as hard and courageous as when he was conquering the Quartet. Now his face is a little decadent, a little lost, and a little bit seems to be relieved.

Ning Chuchu is kind-hearted after all.

She seemed to recall her childhood.

This Xiahou Zhuo returned to Beijing to report on his work, and his mother had already passed away at that time.

In the east palace of the prince's elder brother, he knelt down and swore to the prince's elder brother that he would ensure that the prince's elder brother ascended the throne as emperor!
This is his belief.

He didn't change because of his mother's death.

He has firmly grasped the military power of the western frontier army, and has been working hard to build momentum for the prince's brother.

Even in order for the elder brother of the crown prince to be able to stabilize the elder brother of the second emperor, he gave up the Jiuyin City regardless of the infamy, causing the Jiuyin City to fall into the hands of the barren.

He thought that his father would agree to the prince's elder brother to go to conquer in person, and he would definitely assist the prince's elder brother to take back Jiuyin City and give the prince's elder brother a great military merit.

However, the father never came back from Changle Palace.

The family of Ji Tai in the court held great power, and did not send the prince's elder brother's request to the emperor's father.

He could only hold the northern frontier tightly and look at the lost Jiuyin City from a distance.

He gave up leading his troops to take back Jiuyin City, because that would cause heavy losses to the soldiers in his hands.

He can't have enough pawns!
He hoped that with the pawns in his hands, Ji Tai and the others would be afraid.

His purpose was somewhat effective, and the prince's elder brother was relatively stable during those years in the East Palace.

Of course, it may also be that the generosity and harmlessness shown by the prince's elder brother in the East Palace did not directly violate the interests of Ji Tai and the others.

Or maybe Ji Tai was just waiting for a certain opportunity.

The elder brother of the crown prince died in last year's change in Kyoto, and he left Yanyun Pass with [-] elites...

This is the capital crime of treason!
But he still did it.

Just to avenge the prince brother.

He thinks that Li Chen'an got the most benefit from the capital change, and he thinks that the elder brother of the crown prince died at the hands of Li Chen'an...or died because of Li Chen'an.

He thought that the culprit was Li Chen'an, so after he heard that Li Chen'an was going to Shuzhou via Jiangnan, he led his troops here without hesitation.

Did he do something wrong?
From the point of view of the righteousness of the country, if the barren man seizes the first-line fighter and really captures Yanyun Pass... he will bear the infamy of eternity!

But if you look at it from the perspective of being a domestic slave loyal to his master, he has undoubtedly fulfilled his duty of loyalty.

He kept his promise to the queen mother and the brother of the prince, even if he bears a lifetime of infamy.

Ning Chuchu took a deep breath, and her tone became softer.

"Do you regret it?"

Xia Houzhuo grinned and shook his head: "I have never regretted it."

"When the news of His Royal Highness' death reached the northern frontier army, I shut myself up and thought about it for three days."

"His Royal Highness is kindhearted, how could he be killed?"

"Good man, why is it difficult to live long?"

"He is the heir apparent of our Ning Kingdom!"

"In the future, he will be the emperor of our country of Ning!"

"When he ascended the throne as emperor, many ministers could die well. Even if Ji Tai treated him like this...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no intention of punishing him from the nine clans."

"But those ministers can't tolerate him!"

Xiahou Zhuo turned his head and looked at Li Chenan, "Even if you want to steal the country, His Royal Highness said in a letter to me that he regards you as a bosom friend... You can be the regent, or you can be the emperor... Kill a human and an animal A harmless prince, or a prince who treats you as a friend... Do you feel good about it?"

Li Chenan sighed slightly, looked at Xia Houzhuo, and said very sincerely:

"Would you believe me if I said that I never wanted to kill His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Do you believe it?
How can Xia Houzhuo believe it?
Since ancient times, it is extremely normal for brothers to fight each other because of that dragon chair, let alone this Li Chenan is still an outsider!
If he, Li Chen'an, wants to hold onto that authority, he must kill the orthodox Crown Prince.

This is not some conspiracy idea, this is the most normal thing!
Xia Houzhuo laughed at himself: "You won, you can say whatever you want, but I lost, and I am convinced that I lost!"

"I didn't expect that old thing Xi Wei would dig a huge hole in front of my face, and let me jump into it willingly..."

"If it wasn't for Xi Wei's persuasion, I wouldn't have cooperated with Xie Jing at all."

"I'll hold!"

"Wait for your people to fight with Xie Jing's people."

"I have plenty of time to wait, because you have to go to Shuzhou, and I... don't have to go to Kyoto!"

"I will wait until your 1000 people and Xie Jing have a result, so as to observe the combat effectiveness of your thousand people...or wait until the ambush you planted appears."

"But that old bastard Xi Wei lied to me!"

"If it wasn't for him, even if I was defeated, I could have gone far away and waited for another chance."

Li Chen'an was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Xi Wei to do many things behind the scenes for this matter.

He looked at Xiao Baozi, then turned his head to look at Xia Houzhuo, instead of asking what Xi Wei persuaded, he talked about something that surprised Xia Houzhuo:
"Do you know why I didn't become emperor?"

"Because I don't have much interest in that stuff."

"Before the change of Kyoto, His Royal Highness came to visit the plum garden where I live."

"It was autumn at that time, of course the plum blossoms were not in bloom, but we chatted for a long time in the plum garden."

"I also think he is a very good prince and will become a very good emperor in the future. As for being soft-hearted...he can be soft-hearted. I wanted to help him become a villain."

"What he can't make up his mind to do, I will do it."

"The knife he can't lift, I will lift it."

"I'll kill the people he can't bear to kill...some people must be killed, otherwise, Ning will have big problems, and you should know this when you think about it."

"He is too fat, which is not good for his health. I even drew up a weight loss plan for him."

"It's just that I didn't expect the change in the capital to come so quickly, nor did I expect the people who attacked him to be so decisive."

"He did not die because of the death of the first emperor, he was indeed killed by others!"

Xiahou Zhuo never expected that Li Chen'an would not deny the cause of His Royal Highness's death, his pupils shrank:
"Who killed His Highness?"

"I don't know. I may pursue it, or I may not pay attention to it... The deceased is dead, and I still have a lot of things to do."

"You... you want to avenge him, there is nothing wrong with that, you leave Yanyun Pass without authorization, this is a capital offense!"

"No one can save you."

"What last words do you have? After finishing speaking, you can die!"
