Chapter 338 The Holy Majesty's Mind

For seven or eight days in a row, the capital was in a depressing atmosphere, the palace was under martial law, and there were heavily armed soldiers inside and out.Although people in the capital were panicked, the people were not affected.Xiao Bufan led officers and soldiers to dispatch again and again, arresting dozens of officials.

In the past few days, Yi Xue has heard that many ministers have been arrested, and understands that these people have something to do with King Xi or the second prince.When General Xiao Bufan rushed into the palace that day, he arrested more than [-] rebels including the second prince and Mr. Lu, including the queen and noble concubine.However, to Yi Xue's surprise, Butterfly Zhaoyi was released.The reason for this is also what Xiao Shi said.

It is said that when the Holy Majesty was under house arrest by the second prince, Madam Butterfly was amazed at the plan of the queen and Concubine You, and strongly opposed it.It's a pity that the queen and concubine You Gui were instigated by the second prince and were very considerate.Butterfly Zhaoyi angrily reprimanded her elder brother for his treachery in the court hall, and was imprisoned by Lord Lu.

Yi Xue didn't expect Die Zhaoyi to be a strong woman, worthy of her admiration.

Now these important political prisoners have been imprisoned in the palace, and all news is sealed.Apart from the prince's mansion, there is no news from the palace anymore.On this day, Yi Xue heard that a war broke out in Nanping Prefecture, and Xiao Yu commanded an army of 30 to attack Xiwang's army and start a war in Ye City.The two sides fought hard for three days, and each retreated.

On the border of the State of Lu, Banren and the State of Lu also had a war. The two sides fought fiercely for one day, and the army of the State of Lu was defeated. More than 7000 people were beheaded and [-] were captured.This news gave Datang a burst of momentum, and the common people cheered endlessly.

Three days later, Xiao Yu fought against the Xiwang's army again, beheading 3 Xiwang's soldiers with the Bagua array, and captured more than [-] people, causing the Xiwang's army to retreat fifty li.

When the news came, the whole country celebrated. Before the news spread to the corners of the empire, it was reported that the people of Nanping Prefecture rose up because of the announcement promised by the Goddess of Saturn, and condemned the king of the West for treason.There was a sudden chaos in Nanping Prefecture, and the King of the West had to send some soldiers to quell the rebellion.Xiao Yu immediately took advantage of this opportunity and took the opportunity to win the three counties of Nanping Prefecture. So far, there are only two counties and five counties left in Nanping Prefecture owned by the King of the West.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is in full swing, Yi Xue can see that the defeat of King Xi's army is doomed, so she is very happy.

In the 23rd year of Tianyou, the Tang Dynasty suddenly announced that the second prince had conspired with Lu Zhong and other 31 ministers of the Overwatch Council and sentenced him to death.But the names of the Queen and Concubine You are not included in the list.Then he issued an imperial edict, declaring to the world that the King of the West was rebellious and rebellious, and vowed to arrest the rebels.

Why did the emperor of the Tang Dynasty declare the world after nearly half a month?
"Yixue, back then the Holy Majesty forbeared and pretended to be under house arrest, just to lull Xi Wang and his accomplices, lest they know that the Holy Majesty was rescued, and jump over the wall. Now that the situation has reversed, my court has the right time and place, and the appearance of the Holy Majesty will definitely make everyone happy." The momentum of the Tang Dynasty has been greatly improved, and the soldiers no longer have any fear," General Xiao Bufan said with a smile.

Yi Xue didn't take it seriously, she felt that what Xiao Bufan said was a bit far-fetched, as if he was prevaricating herself.She pondered for a while, and realized in her heart that the Holy Majesty did not think so, probably because the Holy Majesty was not sure of winning.If they lose, all the scapegoats will be borne by the old prince's family, to be exact, the elder son will be borne.If he wins, he will stand up without hesitation and wave his arms.

In the past two years, Yi Xue has gradually learned some tricks. If she is still innocent, it is already impossible.

For such a strategy, Yi Xue scoffed, even though she had a good sense of the Holy Majesty, this kind of despicable strategy made her feel uncomfortable.However, she knew that the Holy Majesty did not decide this matter alone. I am afraid that the old prince's family also reluctantly made such a decision. If Xiao Yu was sacrificed for the prestige of the Xiao family dynasty, it would be worth it.

Yi Xue suddenly felt that being in the imperial power is not a good thing, and being a courtier is not good either.If there is a little carelessness, I am afraid that the son of the world will be ruined.

Looking at Xiao Bufan, Yi Xue's eyes gradually turned cold, she didn't know whether to be happy or angry.Xiao Bufan suddenly saw Yi Xue's cold expression, and his heart was shocked. Could it be that she saw something?I shook my head in my heart, absolutely impossible, no matter how smart this woman is, she would never think of this section.

It's a pity that he guessed wrong, Yi Xue had already guessed it.But she didn't want to tell the truth, maybe she wanted to wait for Xiao Yu to come back and tell him.

"By the way, Yi Xue, Your Majesty has summoned you," Xiao Bufan said.

Yi Xue shook her head and said, "Please tell Your Majesty, the little girl doesn't want to enter the palace."

Xiao Bufan was a little surprised that Yi Xue actually directly rejected the summoning of the Holy Majesty. If it was in the past, it would be a felony and he would be beheaded.But now it is different, although Yi Xue's status is not top, but her influence is extremely powerful no matter in the common people or in the army.

On the night when the imperial palace was breached, many generals had already worshiped Yi Xue leading Bi An like a ferocious beast.Many soldiers were rescued by Qu An, and these people respected Yi Xue very much.That doesn't count, Yi Xue is also quite influential in the literary world, many students regard Yi Xue as the goddess in their hearts, study hard, and vow to be as famous as Yi Xue in the world.

Of course, he knew more about Yi Xue's position in the heart of the Holy Spirit... Qu An.

Ever since the Holy Majesty knew that Yi Xue had Bi An, his attitude became very strange, sometimes he would unconsciously be in a daze, and asked Yi Xue where she was now several times.Although Yi Xue's contributions are not small, as a woman, she is not worthy of His Majesty's constant concern.So the old prince and Xiao Bufan understood some truths, and they didn't look very good these days.

After Xiao Bufan heard Yi Xue's refusal, he suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart. As long as Yi Xue refused to agree, no one could force her.

Seven or eight days later, news came from the border of Lu State.Ban Ren led an army into the capital of the State of Lu, defeated the army of the State of Lu, and captured Li Changshe, the Duke of the State of Lu.The next day, Xiao Yu launched a general attack on the King of the West, and the people of Nanping Prefecture voluntarily supported the Tang army, which immediately plunged the King of the West's army into a fire.Many people in King Xi's army were from other places in the Tang Dynasty, and they were dissatisfied with King Xi at first, but now that the defeat was certain, they immediately turned against him.

Several generals and some soldiers broke into King Xi's palace in the middle of the night and captured King Xi alive, which made Xiao Yu heave a sigh of relief.

So far, King Xi and his party have been wiped out like chickens and dogs in more than a month.When the news came, the whole country was shocked and celebrated.The Holy Majesty was overjoyed, and immediately announced that the whole country would celebrate for three days, and after three days, he would award meritorious ministers.

Xiao Yu did not come back, but received an order from the Holy Majesty to wipe out the remnants of Nanping Prefecture.Only Master Ban Ren led the generals to the capital to receive the title.

Originally, this matter was normal, but it made Yi Xue feel inappropriate. It stands to reason that there are remnants of crimes in Nanping Prefecture, so Xiao Yu shouldn't guard them personally.The capital of the West King has already been captured, how many evils can there be in Nanping Prefecture?

Knowing the reason, the old prince's mansion was even more oppressive.The old prince sat silently, the old princess frowned, General Xiao Bufan looked at the old prince, hesitant to speak, Xiao Shi was worried.

"Forget it, if you don't agree to the Holy Majesty, I'm afraid Yu'er will never come back in this life." The old prince finally raised his head and said haggardly.

The old concubine gritted her teeth, and said bitterly, "Unexpectedly, the Holy Majesty would be so brazen while we were working so hard. Could it be that we are really afraid?"

"Ma'am, don't talk nonsense", the old prince was shocked, how could he not know the temper of the old princess, if he offended the old princess, maybe Xiao Yu would send troops to besiege the capital.

"My lord, although she is only a woman, our palace first took a fancy to her. Why does the Holy Majesty intervene in such a way?" the old concubine asked angrily.

The old prince laughed dryly, and said helplessly, "Do you have proof, dowry? Do you have an agreement? Do you have a matchmaker's words?"

A series of greetings left the old princess speechless, and the old princess regretted that if she knew today, she should have proposed marriage to the Zhang family at the beginning of the year.Now the Holy Majesty actually has Wang Yixue's thoughts, it's hard to handle now.

"Father, now that Yixue's secret has been revealed, Datang's fortune is on her. The Holy Majesty has taken a fancy to this. If we must marry Wang Yixue, we will be powerless to stop it," Xiao Bufan said sternly.

The old prince shook his head, squinted his eyes at Xiao Bufan, and asked, "What do you think of Wang Yixue?"

Xiao Bufan thought for a while and said, "This woman is an extraordinary person, she is decisive in her actions, and she is not emotional. She is a rare female talent."

The old prince nodded, stroked his beard and said, "Since this woman has a decisive personality and is not short of money, can she be considered for that position?"

Xiao Bufan's face brightened, and he said immediately, "Father, Miss Yixue is definitely not someone who covets wealth and honor. Everything she does is due to her own efforts. In this way, it is up to her to decide this matter."

The eyes of the old concubine and Xiao's also brightened. The fact that the palace can't help it doesn't mean that Wang Yixue can't help it.As long as Wang Yixue disagrees, is it possible that the Holy Majesty will still be able to grab it by force?

Yi Xue didn't know what the Holy Majesty meant, but she felt panicked in her heart, and sometimes panicked for no reason.

In the past few days, Mrs. Zhang and others received the news that the Holy Majesty bestowed a reward on the world, and immediately rushed to the capital to join Yi Xue.On the second day, the Holy Majesty held a reward ceremony.Yi Xue's family dressed neatly and went to the palace.Eunuch Qin was still leading the way in the palace. He looked at Yi Xue's family excitedly. This girl opened the gap in the palace with her own strength and rescued the Holy Majesty.From the first time he saw this delicate little girl, to this time when she looked calm and dressed like a lady, he felt that Yixue had grown more and matured, and that her noble temperament made him a little restrained.To be honest, he has served in front of the Holy One for many years, but he has never felt this way.

"Uncle Wen, are you here too?" As soon as Yi Xue entered the palace gate, she saw Wen Taichang in colorful clothes talking with several ministers.

Wen Taichang looked at Yi Xue and walked over with a smile.Yi Xue and his party gave Wen Taichang a courtesy, and the surrounding ministers looked at Yi Xue with even more respectful expressions.What happened in the past half month was too shocking, and the reason was all because of this Denon girl.

"Yixue, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to come today." Master Wen said, although there was a happy expression on his face, but the corners of his mouth were raised, obviously he didn't want others to see his worried expression.

"Uncle Wen, what happened?" Yi Xue asked in surprise.

　I have been preparing for the finale these days, and today is the last day of April.
