Chapter 212
The 25th year of Emperor Zhao was destined to be uneven.

The south is dry and empty, and the rebels of the Yue Kingdom in the north are constantly rebelling. News of the city's fall spreads to the capital one by one. Even Emperor Zhao, the overlord of the Eastern Continent who once dominated one side, has now passed too many years of stability. , I am approaching twilight, and my ambitions have been worn down by the years. I only hope that An Anshun is also afraid of war.

Now that there has been no war in the court for a long time, although there is a certain amount of time for Xi to recuperate, the ambitions of the soldiers who have been cultivated have been wiped out. They are all selected from the children of aristocratic families, and they are used to being arrogant, and few of them have real talents and real learning.

Usually, the DPRK and China seem to be full of talents, but when it comes to the real war, the DPRK and China can't find any talents that can be used.

The Xie family in the capital is naturally good, Xie Xingzhi made great contributions in the Battle of Feishui that year, this time the Yue army, an unscrupulous general in the capital, sent Xie Xingzhi to go.

However, although Xie's army is powerful, they still can't resist the army of the survivors of the Yue Kingdom. Even Emperor Zhao didn't know that the elite troops of the Yue Kingdom had almost been wiped out. Where did the opponent come from such a terrifying force.

Is it because of the coach?After all, Xie Xingzhi was still young, and it was understandable that he was defeated by the most powerful god of war in the Eastern Continent——Gong Zixin.

Among the four kingdoms, Yue was the weakest, but it took all these years to attack it. Isn't it because of the son's trust?

It was Lin Zhenfeng who defeated Young Master Xin back then. Emperor Zhao knew that Lin Zhenfeng was a sharp knife, and now it has been sealed for these years, and it must not be used unless it is a last resort.

Fortunately, the Pei family guarding Ningzhou was still bloody, and Nandi was ready to move, and was suppressed by the Pei family army.Emperor Zhao thought, it is said that it was Pei Zhengxuan's eldest son Pei Mo who led the troops to fight against the enemy.Emperor Zhao thought of the young man who followed Pei Yiyun to Beijing to report on his duties this year, he was taciturn and looked like his father.

Naturally, the Pei family has always been good. They have not complained about suppressing them in Ningzhou all these years. They are considered loyal. After the Nandi war is over, it is time to reward the Pei family.

After all, Fu Yongxin in the capital is now getting bigger and bigger, and Xuan Ling has married the Fu family again.The Lin family retired, and the Xie family alone could no longer suppress Fu Yongxin. He supported Fu Yongxin in order to deal with the Lin family. Among the four major families, there must be no single family that can grow up alone.

Nandi withdrew his army because of the might of Pei's army, and secondly because Xiguo sent Xiao Que to Liguo. Has Nandi sensed the crisis?

Emperor Zhao has always been confident in his work, and the tasks entrusted to him have never disappointed him.Now that the matter in Nandi has calmed down, the war in Vietnam has been unstoppable for a long time, should it be time to call him back...

Xia Shouzhong saw that Emperor Zhao went back and looked at the secret report in his hand for half an hour without returning to his senses. When he saw a voice from outside the door and came in again, Xia Shouzhong cautiously reminded: "Your Majesty, the second prince is asking to see you."

Hearing that it was Xuan Ling who was begging to see him, Emperor Zhao softened the originally cold expression on his face, and said, "Let him in."

His weak descendants may be the retribution of the murder in his hands. Among the several sons, Xuan Ling is naturally the most outstanding and the one who resembles him the most. Even though he has not yet established a crown prince, Emperor Zhao has long preferred him in his heart.

"I see my father..." Xuan Ling, who was dressed in a brocade robe, had an unconcealable nobility on his brows. Everyone said that he was the one who resembled him the most among the children, but it was a pity...

As if thinking of something, Emperor Zhao was slightly lost in thought.

"Father..." Seeing that Emperor Zhao hadn't moved for a long time, Xuanling couldn't help reminding him, as if he had just woken up from a dream, Emperor Zhao said: "Get up, I saw you this morning, it seems that there is something wrong Tell me, what is the reason?"

Even at an old age, the occasional gleam in Emperor Zhao's eyes seemed to be able to see clearly the depths of people's hearts.Even though he was the closest to Emperor Zhao among the several princes, Xuan Ling did not dare to meet Emperor Zhao's eyes.

Let him grow up under the queen's knees, and let people reveal his life experience without hesitation, let him not hesitate to turn against the queen of Lin's family, and at the same time support him.Even Xuanling hasn't understood what Emperor Zhao wants to do these years, after all, his behavior is sometimes too crazy...

It's just that he knows that no matter how difficult it is to guess Emperor Zhao's mind, he just needs to act according to his will. At least on this point, Xuan Ling is absolutely sure...

"Father, my son is for the assassination of Haihunhou." Xuanling explained the purpose of today's visit.

Emperor Zhao looked at Xuan Ling in a little surprise. Originally, Emperor Zhao thought that Xuan Ling was because of Mrs. Xin Yu's affairs... Mrs. Xin Yu found out that she was three months pregnant a few days ago. Xuan Ling was afraid of Mrs. Xin Yu's child. His existence threatened his status, so he secretly ordered people to imprison Mrs. Xinyu based on the rebellion of the survivors of the Yue Kingdom, but this time he did not expect that it was not for Mrs. Xinyu.

"Haihunhou?" After being slightly surprised, Emperor Zhao frowned and said: "Didn't Dali Temple check that Haihunhou was assassinated by the survivors of the Huang Kingdom? Something wrong?"

When mentioning this, Emperor Zhao was inevitably a little angry. Under the strict security in the imperial palace in the capital, two monarchs who had surrendered to Xi Kingdom were assassinated. Although they didn't care about their lives or deaths, it was tantamount to slapping the royal family of Xi Kingdom in the face.If the guards are so lax, he will be the next one to be assassinated!Xie's troops were all transferred to Juyongguan, and Xie Yizhi was not in the palace, so the defense of the palace was worrying.

"I feel that the death of Marquis Haihun is very suspicious, and I'm afraid it's just a false impression that it's related to the survivors of the Huang Kingdom." Xuanling didn't know that Emperor Zhao was unhappy. Speaking of which, he is responsible for the guards of the capital now. How can he get out of the way of big things?Just still have to mention.

"Is there any secret hidden in the death of that faint king?" Emperor Zhao asked indifferently.

"Exactly, I feel that the death of Marquis Haihun is related to Xiao Que!" Xuan Ling said word by word.

It was related to Xiao Que. Emperor Zhao frowned and looked at Xuan Ling, but seeing Xuan Ling think about it, he still said: "Haihunhou seems to be holding some big secret in his hands, which has something to do with Fu Yunshu. When the secret talk was about to be told to the minister, he was assassinated in the other hall the next day."

"The guards in the other hall are heavily guarded. Fu Yunshu would not have such a great ability to assassinate a person at all. In the whole world, there is no one who can kill people in the palace without people being aware of it. Only Yuchen Pavilion has such terrifying power. Xiao Chen Although Que and Fu Yunshu are known as masters and apprentices, they still use the name of masters and apprentices to do such unreasonable things." When he said this, Xuan Ling couldn't help gnashing his teeth.

The rumors that happened in the streets and alleys of the country were naturally sent to the country of Xi by the spies placed next to Xiao Que. When he knew that the two of them had an affair, Xuan Ling couldn't spit out a mouthful of blood.Jealousy and hatred are mixed in my heart, why is it Xiao Que again, how can he be inferior to Xiao Que!

The portrait of Pei Xiang that day was the one that Haihunhou saw that he had a heart for Fu Yunshu, so he deliberately revealed a little information for him to find out the clues of the portrait so that he could grasp Fu Yunshu, in exchange for some beauties in his mansion.

After finding out, Xuan Ling was also very surprised. He didn't expect Fu Xiang, who seemed old-fashioned, to have such a romantic affair. He took the portrait and thought he could get Fu Yunshu, but he didn't expect to be interrupted by Xiao Que.

A few days ago, Haihunhou found Xuanling in a hurry, saying that he wanted to tell Xuanling a big secret, which was related to Fu Yunshu.

Now that Fu Yunshu is far away from the country, there are some big secrets that have nothing to do with him. Originally, he didn't want to pay attention to Haihunhou, but he happened to think of those rumors.Now that Fu Yunshu is Xiao Que's weakness, maybe he can use Fu Yunshu's secret to threaten Xiao Que.Ruyi made a good plan, but he didn't expect that Haihunhou would be assassinated in the other hall that night.

Xuanling was furious, so he thought of taking advantage of Xiao Que's absence in the country of Xi, and took this opportunity to pin the death of Marquis Haihun on Xiao Que. Regardless of whether he had anything to do with Xiao Que, first shake Xiao Que's reputation in Emperor Zhao's heart. Let's talk about status.

Xuan Ling said grandly: "That's why I feel that the death of Marquis Haihun is very suspicious, please order my father to let me re-investigate."

Emperor Zhao fixedly looked at Xuan Ling, those eyes had been tempered by years of vicissitudes, and could see through anyone's disguise and scheming.How could his own son, Emperor Zhao, not understand it? He said so grandly, because he was jealous of Xiao Que's talent and the girl who wanted to get the Fu family.

Xuanling is good at everything, but he is too narrow-minded and lacks the most important thing for a king. Finally, his gaze was withdrawn from Xuan Ling's body.

"Now the court is in chaos, so don't add to the chaos. Do a good job of cleaning up the chaotic parties in the capital, Zhongyue Kingdom and Huang Kingdom." Emperor Zhao frowned and reminded Xuanling of his responsibilities.

Immediately afterwards, before Xuanling could open his mouth, Emperor Zhao said: "As for Xiao Que... I have already told you that in the future, my country will be yours, and Xiao Que is more important than this Xi Kingdom. Shi, he, will be your most powerful and loyal subject, and he will never betray the Xi Kingdom and the royal family..."

At this moment, Emperor Zhao's voice was cruel and cold, as if carrying some kind of ominous omen, and even Xuanling couldn't help feeling a layer of coldness after hearing Emperor Zhao's words.

It's just that Emperor Zhao at this time doesn't know that nothing will never change forever.Where he couldn't see, something was quietly changing.

After he let Xiao Que go to leave the country, everything was completely out of his control, and it was developing towards the unknown, but also the direction he least wanted to see...
