Your Majesty the Empress, I am really not a traitor!

Xia Yuxiao shook her head helplessly.

Xia Yun was lying.No matter how unreliable Qin Ji was, Xia Yuxiao would not believe her brother's stupid words.Not to mention that the Great Xia army suffered little losses in the northern border war this time, nor did it reach the level of replenishing troops.Even if it was really a matter of recruiting soldiers, with Qin Ji's virtue, he would not hand over the recruiting information to a prince.

This guy only rest assured of himself and his few reliable subordinates. It is absolutely impossible for Xia Yun to do it.

"This matter, whether you did it or not, you don't need to mention it anymore. Anyway, Qin Ji is responsible for the relevant situation," Xia Yuxiao finished, and then took out a few stacks of memorials in her hand, "Today, I I invite you to come, I have another question to ask."

"But it's okay to say, as long as I know, I will definitely not hide it."

"Why did you assassinate me? And the Taiwei?"

Xia Yuxiao asked in a low voice in his ear.

This low-pitched inquiry made him sweat instantly.

I had thought that I would be questioned by His Majesty, but I never expected that it would be like this. Compared with the previous appearance, the current Xia Yuxiao is simply a 180-degree turn.

Is it so direct?

Forcibly suppressing the psychological pressure, he calmly replied:

"Your Majesty, I have never attempted to assassinate Your Majesty."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yuxiao casually threw him a stack of papers.

In it, there are a large number of letters between him and his party members, and the contents of these letters are almost all about how to overthrow Xia Yuxiao and Qin Ji.

In some letters, it even stated how the plan will be implemented.

It can be said that he is simply a little transparent now, and every letter is in a familiar handwriting.

"Xia Yun, I don't seem to be too harsh on you, right?" Xia Yuxiao sighed and said, "In the eyes of my mother, the two of us have the best relationship in the royal family. Did I make you unhappy? Or, where did I not do well? Even if you insisted on competing with me for this position, I did not blame you. "

"In my heart, you are my younger brother. No matter when you do anything wrong, I can understand it. You wanted to engage in education before and made such a big hole. I will use my own money to make up for you. If you want to recruit talents, I will help you and ask my subordinates to put up notices. Why is this not as good as anything in your eyes? I only got your resentment for doing this, right?"

Xia Yun didn't speak.

In other words, he had no reason to speak.

Is my sister not good enough for me?This is nonsense, Xia Yuxiao has done her best to him. Before she was determined to be the heir to the throne, Xia Yun rushed out halfway to fight for the throne, which almost caused her to lose this position.Even so, Xia Yuxiao just made him a prince and kept him by his side to be vigilant.

Why on earth would I resent her?

Are you really dissatisfied with something?

Xia Yun also thought about this question, but couldn't figure it out.

Finally, he finally understood.

He was not against his sister.What he hates is nothing more than the whole Great Xia.

As the emperor of Great Xia, Xia Yuxiao naturally gained his loathing.

This is not a dislike for my sister, but a dislike for this imperial power.

Chapter 72 Questioning

"Sister, I'm sorry."

Xia Yun lowered his head and said.When he said this, he seemed like a child.

Xia Yuxiao looked at Xia Yun in front of her, and her original anger seemed to have subsided a little. She supported Xia Yun's shoulders, and her younger brother was now taller than her.

"Why on earth? Tell me."

"Sister, don't you think there is something wrong with our country Xia?"

After pondering for a moment, Xia Yun suddenly mustered up the courage to say.

When Xia Yuxiao heard this, she was stunned for a moment. She seemed to understand Xia Yun's words, or was surprised by Xia Yun's words. In short, she was silent for a while, and then looked at him: "What do you mean?"

"Literally, sister."

He seemed to be finally able to say everything about himself, and it was precisely because of this that Xia Yun spoke more fluently on this occasion.

"Sister, our Great Xia is proud of being a thousand-year-old country. The Xia family has ruled this land for thousands of years. But, sister, why? Why can we survive for a thousand years?"

"Sister, I have read many books, and I know that the Great Xia has been able to last until now because there has never been a faint king in Great Xia. Our emperor, at worst, is also a good conservative king. Yes, I admit this, It is indeed the hard work of the ancestors of the past generations that allowed the Great Xia to continue. But sister, why are we the only ones so lucky? Why are we the oldest and continuing country among human beings? "

Xia Yun simply expressed all his doubts.

He really didn't understand.

The country of Xia, the country of Xia has always existed in history. Countless dynasties around it rose and fell, rose and fell one after another, but only this place has always been firmly held in the hands of the emperor, and there has never been any abnormality. It sounds unbelievable.

For thousands of years, there has been no foolish king. If you tell other countries to hear this, they don't believe it.

"Sister, don't you feel that this big summer is like a pool of stagnant water?" His voice became louder and louder, "Yes, it's calm, but it's so weird! There's no vitality at all! In other words, the vitality is really It’s too big! We have been expanding our territory for thousands of years, but have we changed anything in essence? No!”

"When the ancestors opened up the territory, the people could not eat, but now, in bad times, the people still can't eat! Why is it like this in the thousand-year-old Guozuo? What have we done in the past 1000 years? From our history books On the road, I saw that we have been fighting and expanded the territory to ten times that of the first emperor. But this ten times the territory has not been exchanged for the prosperity of the people."

"Sister, I don't understand this point. You tell me that in the past 1000 years, we have only made progress in making the common people have food and clothing in good times, so what's next? How long will our desire to make the world harmonious and everyone rich last?" Realized? Is it just like this, 'developing' like it's dead?"

Xia Yun gasped violently after saying this.

He has kept these words in his heart for a long time, and he always wants to ask, but he knows how outrageous it is when he smells these words.

Although Xia Guo was already very good compared to several other countries, Xia Yun still couldn't understand it.

Thousands of years of accumulation, only in exchange for this almost negligible progress, he can't see any surprises in Xia Guo's future.People in the Xia Kingdom wore that suit thousands of years ago, and the people in the Xia Kingdom after a thousand years are still wearing the same clothes as those in the picture book. If it weren't for the fact that they are very open to foreign exchanges, everything would be almost the same as in the ancient books!

Is this a country, or an old, motionless monster that has existed for thousands of years?

At this moment, he saw Xia Yuxiao standing up.

Her expression was a little stunned, but at the same time, a trace of determination flashed through quickly.

"Xia Yun, this matter is not something you need to consider. I, the emperor, will consider it myself. I have my own ideas."

However, when these words reached Xia Yun's ears, it made him even angrier:

"What do you think?! I watched my sister ascend the throne. I originally thought that you were someone who could break this deadlock. But after you ascended the throne? What did you do? It was nothing more than the same thing—strike against dissidents, Contain the forces of various factions, encourage production, and appoint a few so-called talents..."

"What you did was done by our ancestors hundreds of years ago! The battle in the northern border was fought by our ancestors thousands of years ago! Excuse me, what kind of future can I see in such a great summer?!"

deadlock.

Yes, that is the case.

The current Great Xia is still strong, and even better than before, but this is an indisputable fact.

This is the deadlock in Great Xia. From the ancestors to the present, in the millennium years, no emperor is willing to break this deadlock.

Is it just waiting for Da Xia to freeze here?

Xia Yun said all his thoughts, he knew that he was going to die, since he was going to die, why not just say everything about himself before he died, otherwise, no one would care about what he thought when he entered the grave say what.

However, what greeted her was not Xia Yuxiao's rebuttal, but a slap in the face.

This slap was actually not very strong - Xia Yuxiao's own strength was not strong in the first place. Although she slapped her very loudly, it didn't hurt so much that it only made his head tilt.

Xia Yun was stunned.

Xia Yuxiao in front of him looked at him disappointedly.

From when he competed with his sister for the throne until just now, he has seen his sister reveal a lot of emotions in front of him, but he has never seen such emotions.

　 The kind of disappointment that seems to be that even the closest people don't understand themselves.

It was even difficult for him to tell whether she was angry or sad, that slap instantly wiped away the aura he had grown up just now, he covered his face, feeling a little hot, but it made him feel like a dream .

"Come on."

Xia Yuxiao took a deep breath and withdrew her hand.

Two dragon guards came in at the door.

"Prince Rongsheng was stimulated, and he was talking nonsense. Call my imperial doctor, give him a good look, and then send him back to the mansion." She never went to see her younger brother again, and ordered, " In addition, I hope that you can all remember that nothing happened today."

"As ordered."

Naturally, the two dragon guards would not casually disclose information, not to mention whether they were loyal to His Majesty, even if they were disloyal, they would not risk their lives to speak out quickly.

King Rong Sheng was taken down like this. This time, the two of them couldn't talk about anything, and his life was about to come to an end.

Chapter 73

King Rongsheng was taken away.

At this time, Qin Ji's voice came from the screen beside him:

"It seems that there is a great conflict between the two of you."

He's been there from the beginning, and it's not his own intention, but Xia Yuxiao's order. Although she is really good to her brother, it doesn't mean she will let him approach her, if If the other party has any thoughts, I'm afraid it will put her in danger.

Therefore, she specially called Qin Ji over in order to increase this insurance. Qin Ji's actions are very fast, even if something unexpected happens, he can protect himself immediately.

The premise is that Qin Ji is also reliable, but at least for now, Xia Yuxiao thinks that Qin Ji is still reliable.

"If it wasn't for today, I wouldn't even be aware of it." Xia Yuxiao felt it at this time, her head hurt, and she even felt a little dizzy, "Qin Ji, I didn't expect the result to be like this. You read the joke."

"Where, Your Majesty, no one else knows what King Rong Sheng said, at most it's just the two dragon guards you trust."

"You do not know?"

Xia Yuxiao rolled his eyes at him.

"I don't have the habit of remembering those trivial things."

Qin Ji said with a smile.

"Slick tongue," she calmed herself down, "Qin Ji, aren't you curious?"

"Curious what?"

"What my brother said." Xia Yuxiao turned her head and looked into Qin Ji's eyes. "You are a person who understands. It is because you understand that you should have seen a little more than him. You are not curious." Is it? My brother's questioning is indeed justified after all."
