The fierce wife is in power: the general should not try to escape

Chapter 445 This calamity can be broken
"Father, my son just got the news that Zhang Cheng and Zhao Xuanran fell out, and now Zhao Xuanran is imprisoned by Zhang Cheng, seriously injured and unconscious!"

In the royal study of the palace, there are only three people, the emperor, the prince and Shangguan Zhenyu.The prince told the emperor the news he had received in the middle of the night last night, as calm as he was, and couldn't help showing a hint of joy.

The crown prince had promised the emperor three days before, but after three days, there was no good news. No matter how much the emperor loved the crown prince, he couldn't help being furious.At that time, the prince was also unhappy, but he still asked the emperor to wait with a very sincere attitude.So amidst the emperor's impatience, good news finally came on the fifth day.Even though it took two days longer than expected, the prince was very happy when things came to fruition.

Although Xiaoye was Zhang Xuan's personal maid, but Zhang Xuan was cruel and ruthless. Xiaoye had suffered a lot under Zhang Xuan's hands, and she had hated Zhao Xuan for a long time.It's just because Zhang Xuan controlled her family, so Xiaoye didn't dare to show it, so she had to grit her teeth and bear it.

After the crown prince found out about this, he immediately asked someone to rescue Xiaoye's family members. He didn't know whether Zhang Xuan had too much confidence in him, and she didn't even know that Xiaoye's family members were gone.

Through this point, the prince and Xiaoye reached a deal, and it was the prince who signaled to Xiaoye this time to provoke a rift.At that time, it was originally planned to give Concubine Ruan a dystocia, and then she would die twice, but she didn't want Xiao Shizi to survive, so it was delayed for another two days.The crown prince was worried that things were not thorough enough, and Dr. Sun was also the one he bribed, so he didn't expect it to really work.

Under such circumstances, the relationship between Zhang Cheng and Zhao Xuanran could no longer be maintained. Although neither of them died, it was enough for Zhang Cheng to pick Zhao Xuanran's tendons and hamstrings and imprison him.

The emperor, who had been gloomy for several days, couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the news, but he still couldn't let go of his heart: "Zhang Guo really made a good plan, but your plan is useless even though it provokes the two of you. That person Xuanran has lost his mind for a long time, whether he is there or not is not important at all, but Zhang Cheng is what matters. But now, Zhang Cheng is still alive and well, this move seems like a useless effort!"

As he said that, the emperor looked at the prince with condensed eyes. After learning that his son had been tortured like this, what he thought about was not his heartache for his son, but why his opponent was not dead yet.Even, he was thinking that it would be easier for Zhang Cheng to kill Zhao Xuanran directly.

Seeing the emperor's appearance like this, the prince felt cold and laughed endlessly.At this moment, he fully realized his father's ruthlessness, thinking that the emperor's love for him was also because he could not threaten the emperor's status at all before.Since he ascended to the crown prince, the emperor seemed to dislike him more and more, and his face became much uglier.

The prince would feel extremely ironic when he thought that his position as the prince had the handiwork of the emperor.The person who brought him up with his own hands, at this moment, has erected a guard against him and developed a heart of jealousy.

Covering the gloom in his eyes, the prince respectfully said: "Although what my father said is true, it is also beneficial. Logically speaking, it is perfectly normal for Zhang Cheng to kill Zhao Xuanran in a fit of anger, but Zhang Cheng But Cheng chose to keep Zhao Xuanran behind, and deliberately blocked the news that Zhao Xuanran was imprisoned by him."

"In this way, Zhang Cheng's calculation is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it. Daxia has always opposed the pursuit of the court, and even Zhao Xuanran did it in the name of Qingjun. A commoner sees that Zhao Xuanran is the blood of the Great Xia royal family, even if they have some objections in their hearts, they will suppress it for this reason."

"Similarly, this is also the mind of the people in power in various state capitals and cities. Until now, no official who has been sent out has led his soldiers and horses to support the city. From this we can see one or two. It doesn't matter who the emperor of Daxia sits , what they care about is whether this person is a member of the Great Xia royal family."

Speaking of this, the prince was very upset.Originally, with Zhao Xuanran's 3 horses, even if the common people were used as bargaining chips, they would not be so tight.There are imperial guards in Kyoto, if those cities are willing to bring the soldiers and horses defending the city to cooperate with the imperial guards inside and out to form a siege, then this dilemma will have been solved long ago, and he doesn't have to bother to want to Disintegrate from within the enemy.

But all those officials were afraid of the impact of the war on them, and they were unwilling to send troops.Over the years, there have been dislikes among the various cities. If one side sends out its own soldiers, then his opponent will definitely take advantage of the fire and loot them.

Of course, these things will not be made too obvious, otherwise, if an imperial decree continues, no one will be able to bear it.If so, the enemy can also take the opportunity to gain some benefits.In order not to lose anything to themselves, they were naturally unwilling to send troops, and they all pretended not to know, and hid in their own mansions to enjoy themselves safely.

Every time he thinks of this, the prince would like to lead his troops directly to raid the mansions of those officials, and put them all in jail. Let's see who dares to act like this!

It's just that right now he can't even solve Zhao Xuanran's matter, so he can only think about these thoughts, and it won't be too late to talk about it after the urgent matter is resolved.

Conquering the cold light in his eyes, the prince continued: "In this way, Zhang Cheng left Zhao Xuanran just to take advantage of Zhao Xuanran's name to take over your country in a fair and just manner. Now he has Zhao Xuanran imprisoned , if we spread the news, maybe those who don’t want to send troops will change their minds.”

"As long as there are soldiers and horses outside to respond, and the [-] imperial guards control the situation in Kyoto, this catastrophe can be broken!"

After the words fell, the prince's face was full of determination, obviously very confident in this matter.

The emperor took a deep look at the prince, but did not speak immediately.Seeing this, Shangguan Zhenyu's eyelids twitched, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, what His Highness the Crown Prince said is true. The current situation should not be stalemate for too long. Now Xicang and Nanjiang are waiting and watching. We signed an agreement not to go to war within a hundred years, but the world is unpredictable, and once our internal problems are not resolved, maybe Xicang and Nanjiang will join forces to attack."

"At that time, there will be internal and external troubles, and Great Xia will be in jeopardy!"

Instead of praising the prince, Shangguan Zhenyu analyzed the current situation.Having been the emperor's courtier for so many years, he naturally understands the emperor's thoughts and knows that the emperor will never treat the prince again.If he praises the prince so much at this time, although the emperor will not say anything now, he will be dissatisfied in the end.After this matter is resolved, the succession of the crown prince will not be so simple.
