Minister Ding said: "The key is that General Jiang has always regarded rules as more important than life, and he may not be willing to do so." ”

"This time the situation is urgent, and he can't help it, otherwise he can't take the consequences at all," Minister A said.

Minister B also seconded: "That is, his eyebrows are already burning at the moment, if he still sticks to those rules, it will undoubtedly harm the whole country, and he will not not understand." In addition, the fact that several of our ministers invited him jointly means that the matter is not trivial, and he should be flexible in handling it as appropriate. ”

Without further ado, all the ministers immediately jointly wrote a letter to Jiang Weihan, the general of Shuguo, informing him of the current situation in the palace and asking him to immediately bring troops to the rescue.

The general Jiang Weihan was soon surprised to receive this letter, but it was a violation of the regulations to transfer troops without receiving an order, and if he was held accountable, he would be most responsible, so it was very likely that he would have to lose his life, but the matter stated in the joint letter of these ministers was so urgent that he could not sit idly by.

He paced around the room a few times before making a decision.

Since sending troops is a violation, and it is difficult to escape death if you don't send troops, let's just take risks and send troops.

So he immediately went to the barracks with this joint letter and mobilized 100,000 soldiers to confront the soldiers from the Dawn Kingdom.

When all his troops were ready, a report came from the front that the troops of the Shu Kingdom had entered the city pass and were walking in the direction of the palace, and had now reached the source of the Jinsha River, less than ten miles away from the palace.

After General Jiang asked the other side about the direction and number of troops, he immediately divided the 100,000 troops into three large groups, and rushed towards the Shu soldiers from the front, left and right respectively, intending to firmly intercept them and then snipe them.

Inside the palace, Xiao Diyuan and Jingwu teamed up to control Xiao Hong, Liu's and Xiao Dikai, and then the two teamed up to get Xiao Hong to a room in Cuiwei Palace on the side.

After locking the door of the room, Xiao Diyuan unlocked Xiao Hong's acupoint and said, "What did you bring me from Zhaoguo back then?"

Xiao Hong laughed a few times and said, "I don't know what you're talking about. ”

Jinggo smiled and said, "The facts are already in front of you, why should Your Majesty pretend to be confused?"

"Facts, which words are facts, is there any evidence?" Xiao Hong asked calmly.

At this time, Zhou Rong, Zhang Yuanfeng and Wu Yichang suddenly walked in outside, and the three of them did not stop until Xiao Hong was in front of him, and then Zhou Rong wiped his face with his hand, and immediately restored his appearance when he was a father-in-law in the Shuguo Palace.

Xiao Hong was a little surprised, but he couldn't remember where he had seen Zhou Rong.

Zhou Rong reminded: "Does His Majesty Zhao Baomu, the father-in-law who knew divination back then, still remember?"

Xiao Hong immediately remembered it and said in a panic: "You...... Are you from King Guangxian's gang?"

Zhou Rong smiled and said, "No, I am a person sent by Zhaoguo, who is specifically responsible for investigating the life of King Guangxian. ”

Xiao Hong suddenly realized - no wonder Xiao Diyuan was able to obtain so many key clues.

He was flustered for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Zhou Rong stepped forward and said: "Ding An's identity was found out by me in cooperation with King Guangxian, and I participated in the whole process, so I can testify that Ding An is the biological son of you and the queen mother." And the trace of Zou Twelve was also discovered by me first and later caught by the people of King Guangxian, and I also testify to his identity. ”

After that, Zhou Rong pointed to the evidence and said: "In this series of evidence, there are at least seven people who can testify - Guangxian Wang, me, Zhang Yuanfeng, Wu Yichang, Ding Wu, Liao Yuanji and Wei Bang. ”

Then the men came in from outside.

Xiao Hong couldn't wait for these people in front of him to disappear from this world immediately, but it was obviously impossible, and he suddenly felt extremely helpless and hopeless.

A feeling of nausea made him close his eyes uncomfortably, but the sensation was still so strong that he almost suffocated several times.

Finally, he was still invincible to the intense feeling of nausea, and suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Xiao Diyuan couldn't help but feel unbearable when he saw this, but when he thought that the reason why he was picked up in the first place had not yet been figured out, he gave up the idea of stepping forward to help him.

At this time, there were still blood stains on the corners of Xiao Hong's mouth, and his face was pale, as if he would faint at any time, but he still straightened his chest and said, "No matter how many of you testify, I won't admit it." ”

"Then let the facts do the talking. Xiao Diyuan said that he immediately ordered someone to release the evidence.

Xiao Hong hurriedly stopped: "Don't announce it, don't announce it, I said, I said." ”

Xiao Diyuan asked the people to step back, locked the door, and listened to Xiao Hong with Jingwu, Zhou Rong, Liao Yuanji and others.

Looking at these people who were waiting for him to say the reason, Xiao Hong said: "I can explain the reason why I did that back then, but I have one condition - the country of Shuguo is still mine, and no one can take it away." ”

Everyone looked at Xiao Diyuan.

At this time, everything in the palace was controlled by Xiao Diyuan, as long as Xiao Diyuan wanted to, he could take this opportunity to seize the royal power and become the new monarch.

Most of the people present who helped Xiao Diyuan also hoped that Xiao Diyuan would do this from their hearts, but how to choose in the end, they respected Xiao Diyuan's wishes.

Xiao Diyuan thought only for a moment and then nodded: "Yes, as long as you tell the truth about what happened back then." ”

Zhou Rong immediately tugged on Xiao Diyuan's sleeve and said, "Such a good opportunity, why don't you take over the royal power?"

Xiao Diyuan replied softly: "If I was only for the king's power, I would have acted a few years ago. ”

Zhou Rong was suddenly in awe.

Xiao Hong looked at everyone again, and then said with difficulty: "Eighteen years ago, Shu Kingdom was only a small country with more than 20 cities, while the neighboring Zhao Kingdom had more than 30 cities at that time. At that time, there was peace between the two countries on the surface, but in fact they never stopped fighting secretly, I had just become the king at that time, and I deeply felt the danger and pressure faced by the weak and small countries, and when I heard that Zhaoguo was making a batch of bombs at that time, I couldn't help but worry that it was used to attack the Akeno Kingdom, so I called the ministers to discuss the way to deal with it, and the meeting was held for three consecutive days, but none of the suggestions were simple and feasible, so I had to think of another way in private, and soon I thought of a solution- If Zhao really deals with us one day, we will use the three princes of Zhao as a bargaining chip to blackmail Zhao to stop fighting. ”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Hong glanced at Xiao Diyuan and said, "This is the reason why we took you away back then." ”

Everyone present looked at Xiao Diyuan with serious expressions.

After listening to Xiao Hong, Xiao Diyuan was silent for a long time.

It turned out that Xiao Hong used him as a bargaining chip in order to protect Shuguo.
