Chapter 167
However, Xiao Yu just raised his hand, and before it even dropped, Han Poli pushed his hand and blocked Xiao Yu's hand.

"Han Poli!" Blocked by Han Poli, Xiao Yu only felt that his majesty had been challenged.

Han Poli didn't even look at Xiao Yu, he just lowered his head and looked at Xia Zhi with concern, seeing that she didn't have any injuries, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.It's just that when he looked away from Xia Zhi, Han Poli's dark eyes immediately met Xiao Yu's eyes full of anger.

"The emperor just wants military power, so why do you need to do it? These soldiers and horses belong to Dongling, and the minister will return them to the emperor sooner or later. Why should the emperor worry?" Han Poli pressed the corners of his lips tightly, revealing A hint of deep sarcasm came.

After finishing speaking, Han Po immediately took out a tiger talisman in the shape of a black iron block from the skirt of his clothes.As soon as he stretched out his hand, Han Poli handed it to Xiao Yu without hesitation.

"This is what the emperor wants. All border soldiers and patrol battalions can be dispatched with this soldier talisman."

Han Poli gave it simply, and finished his confession neatly. This attitude suddenly made Xiao Yu's cheeks blush.

Clenching his fists to his mouth and coughing dryly, Xiao Yu endured the previous annoyance, and also faded the embarrassment on his face, "It's not bad that Han Qing has such an idea."

The words were high-sounding, but to Xia Zhi and Han Poli's ears, it was another matter.

Han Poli didn't answer Xiao Yu's words, he still looked at Xiao Yu with his dark eyes, as if he didn't take Xiao Yu's current Dongling Emperor seriously at all.

A hint of boredom suddenly flashed in Xia Zhi's eyes, who had been standing by the side and pretended to be nothing.

She tugged at the corner of Han Poli's clothes, and made Han Poli, who was standing in front of her, retreat.The strange red eyes were covered with a look of boredom, Xia Zhi said coldly, "You are already the emperor, you don't have to worry. Brother Han and I will leave today. As for your previous proposal, no matter what." I have to wait until I go back to Jimo's house and ask the head of the house before I can give the emperor an answer."

Xia Zhi took a step back and did not confront Xiao Yu head-on.

Xiao Yu nodded, very satisfied with Xia Zhi's compromise, "So, you left today alone?"

With a cold expression, Xia Zhi raised her eyes and took a deep look at Xiao Yu, "I'm not the only one going back, Brother Han will also leave with me."

The amount of information contained in Xia Zhi's words seems to be a bit large. Although it was a simple sentence, Xiao Yu and Han Poli were both shocked in place.

Han Poli stared at Xia Zhi in a daze, no emotion could be seen in his dark eyes, but from his clenched fists, it could be seen that Han Poli's heart should be extremely excited at this moment.

What Xia Zhi said was to bring him back to Jimo's house, so it means that Xia Zhi had already agreed to marry Han Poli.It turned out that Xia Zhi wasn't trying to scare him before.

But after getting excited, Han Poli frowned again.

Bringing him home, such a sturdy way, how could it be the same as the woman Han Poli met on the border before.Han Poli continued to stare at Xia Zhi suspiciously, shouldn't he let someone bring the dowry to Jimo's house to propose marriage, why Xia Zhi felt to Han Poli as if he wanted Han Poli to marry him.

When Han Poli frowned tightly, Xiao Yu also seemed to be frightened.

If Xia Zhi wants to take Han Poli away, or go back to Jimo's house, there is no guarantee that she will never return.If this was the case, Dong Ling would lose a general who could lead troops and dispatch generals. Of course, it would also reduce Xiao Yu's sense of threat.

"Miss Jimo has already made up her mind?" If Xia Zhi really wants to leave, Xiao Yu also knows that he can't stop her.But if Han Poli really wanted to leave, then he had to think about who he could fill Han Poli's place.

Xia Zhi nodded lightly, giving Xiao Yu another answer.

After nodding, Xia Zhi pulled Han Poli's sleeves again, and led him back to the house.

Xiao Yu was left alone in the yard.

Xiao Yu was ignored by others as usual, but he was no longer annoyed as before.Because he got what he wanted in this palace.

Gently stroking the soldier talisman in his hand that exudes coldness, Xiao Yu's eyes were full of joy.

Regardless of what he would think if he left Xiao Yu outside alone.When Han Poli was dragged into the house by Xia Zhi, his eyes were full of joy just like Xiao Yu's.

Full of joy that cannot be expressed in words, let alone concealed.

"Ah Zhi, I..." Han Poli excitedly wanted to speak a few words with Xia Zhi.

But Xia Zhi let go of Han Poli's hand, and walked a few steps inside, widening the distance between herself and Han Poli.

Unlike Han Poli's excitement, Xia Zhi's face was still cold, "Brother Han, if you want to pack something, you can go back first, and you don't have to stay with me here. Also, Mr. Taifu is in the house in the east of the city. Brother Han can talk to him before leaving."

Xia Zhi's cold voice has a calming effect on others.But listening to Han Poli's ears, it has a different meaning.

His eyes darkened, and Han Poli didn't speak again.After nodding his head and giving Xia Zhi a deep look, he turned and left.

……

"Hey, did you hear the rumors yesterday?"

On the morning of the second day after Xia Zhi and Han Poli left the palace, Xiao Yu hadn't arrived yet, so the ministers all gathered together in twos and threes, talking about the fresh and interesting things that happened yesterday.

"What happened yesterday, of course I heard it! I don't know who has the courage to release such news!" After saying this, a minister sighed helplessly and shook his head.

"That's what I said, but after all, this is also a rumor in the market. If there is no basis, this kind of news will not be spread. Not to mention, this matter is related to the royal family, and almost everyone has heard of it overnight. Got it." Although the other minister also showed helplessness, he couldn't hide it if he wanted to gossip.

"That's too absurd to say. It's obvious that the first emperor died because he was in a hurry. It's not like they said that he died because the emperor forced the palace."

This was the most widely rumored matter yesterday.

Everyone knows that it is not allowed to discuss the rights and wrongs of the royal family, but anyone with a sense of tact, or someone with a gossip mind, will discuss this matter in private.

What's more, everyone is talking about it now, and if you don't participate in the discussion, it's like you can't get involved.

"..."

Buzzing, buzzing, I don't know who started it first, but after the specific things were laid out, the whole court exploded.

"The emperor is here!" Fortunately, when the courtiers were about to discuss, Xiao Yu finally came.

Xiao Yu was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and within a few strides, he eagerly sat on the dragon chair.Looking at the courtiers kneeling on the ground with majestic eyes, Xiao Yu's mood at this moment still retains the joy that Xia Zhi brought him yesterday.

"Masters, please speak quickly if you have something to do." After calling out, Xiao Yu immediately spoke.

The reason why he is so eager today is because Xiao Yu wants to finish the matter that needs to be resolved in the early court as soon as possible, so that he will have the remaining time to think about how to deal with the military power that Han Poli handed over yesterday up.

Staring at Xiao Yu's gaze, the courtiers probably understood what Xiao Yu meant after hearing what Xiao Yu said.

Although it was the beginning of the establishment of the new dynasty, there should be many affairs to be dealt with, but since Xiao Yu didn't have that kind of thought for the time being, the courtiers could probably handle it by themselves according to the old rules.

So since no one has a problem, this morning court can be over soon.

Xiao Yu nodded in satisfaction, and just as he was about to wave his hand to let the servant standing beside him announce his retreat, there was an urgent cry from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation!" The servant outside the door hurried in with a man dressed as a soldier, and without waiting for Xiao Yu's consent to pass on the message, the soldier knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, it's messed up!" The soldiers were extremely flustered.

Xiao Yu frowned, put down his raised hand, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

The young general's face was flustered, and after Xiao Yu saw his expression, the previous joy was instantly relieved.A deep sense of unease welled up in Xiao Yu's heart.

"Your Majesty, the border is in chaos! Not only the border, but also other troops stationed everywhere are in chaos!"

The words of the soldiers caused the court to explode again.

Xiao Yu didn't care what the courtiers were discussing below, he just had a dark face, "Why the chaos?"

"Almost all the generals who were stationed on the border before surrounded the areas under their jurisdiction. Even the generals in the southwest and northwest are ready to attack the capital."

"They want to establish themselves as kings?!" Xiao Yu's face was dark, and there was an unknown emotion in his eyes. "It's really audacious for them to be able to do this under what name."

"General Southwest said, Your Majesty, the title of the throne is also unfair. If it weren't for General Han's support and help, you would have been able to force the palace to succeed. Now, as soon as you ascended the throne, you will take everything from General Han's hands. The military power was taken back, and people were driven out of Dongling, which really chilled them. They did this to protect themselves."

Because this soldier is only in charge of sending messages, and usually doesn't know how to distinguish when some words are scored, so after he said the news he received, Xiao Yu's face was almost black enough to drip ink. .

Clenching his fists tightly, Xiao Yu only had anger in his eyes.

He already knew that Han Poli and Xia Zhi would not compromise so easily, so it was because he had given him such a trick!
