Chapter 956: Xuanyuan Decisive Leads the Troops
Xuanyuan decided to return the complete talisman to Huang Guozhong, Huang Guozhong violently "snatched" the talisman, and carefully groped for a long time before carefully hiding it in his arms.
"Now that the talisman is complete, the prime minister can consider mobilizing a large army to capture the palace. Xuanyuan Jue said with a smile, "As far as the ministers know, the guards of the palace are far from being as strict as they imagined, except for the Praetorian Guards, there are only secret guards. β
At the mention of the secret guard, the corners of Huang Guozhong's mouth suddenly twitched, indeed, the secret guard is famous, anyone who wants to break into the palace must seriously weigh it, and the Dayan Empire has never been successful in breaking into the palace for more than 3,000 years.
Xuanyuan could see Huang Guozhong's concerns, and said with a smile: "Probably, the world has demonized the secret guards too much, but the prime minister doesn't have to worry too much, the secret guards are also people, and they are not omnipotent." Just imagine, if the guards are omnipotent, then what does Your Majesty want the Praetorian Guards to do? What do you need the army to do? Just let those guards guard the palace all the time. β
Huang Guozhong rolled his eyes and thought about it, and there was indeed some truth.
Xuanyuan continued, "As long as the army is strong enough and the number is guaranteed, it will not be difficult to break through the defenses of the dark guards. β
Huang Guozhong nodded and asked, "Does Gongzi have effective tactics?"
Xuanyuan said with a smile: "In my opinion, we must first kill the Praetorian Guards in the entire Soul Capital City, so that we can lay a solid foundation for the capture of the Imperial Palace." β
Huang Guozhong strongly agrees with this, because the Praetorian Guards are now under Xiao Zhang's control, and if the Praetorian Guards can be eradicated, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to Xiao Zhang.
As long as it is unfavorable to the enemy, Huang Guozhong is willing to do it.
"But ......" Huang Guozhong seemed to remember some difficulties.
Xuanyuan decided: "The prime minister is in trouble, although he said, the ministers will do their best to help." β
Huang Guozhong was immediately overjoyed, and then said with some sadness: "Now, my three sons are gone, General Yan and his six sons are also dead, and I have no more generals under him, so you can't let me, an old man, lead the troops to fight, right?"
"Hehehehe," Xuanyuan stood up with a smile, "The prime minister doesn't have to worry, isn't there still a minister?"
"You?" Huang Guozhong looked at Xuanyuan carefully, "In my eyes, Gongzi is a humble gentleman......
"The prime minister underestimated his subordinates. Xuanyuan put away his smile, and his expression became serious, "Since this is the case, then the subordinate has nothing to say, take his leave!"
Huang Guozhong didn't expect that Xuanyuan, who had always been mild-mannered, would have such a big temper, he hurriedly stood up and said: "Xuanyuan Gongzi is angry, in fact, I am also planning to ask Gongzi to lead troops for me." β
Xuanyuan stopped at this time, but did not look back: "If the prime minister is reluctant to make it difficult, then there is no need to do it." β
"Prince Xuanyuan. Huang Guozhong walked around to Xuanyuan and held Xuanyuan's hand affectionately, "Just now I was just testing Childe's attitude, since Childe is so resolute, then I will rest assured." β
After speaking, Huang Guozhong took out the talisman and stuffed it into Xuanyuan Du's hand: "Childe, hand over the talisman to you, I don't worry! β
Xuanyuan clenched his talisman and saluted solemnly to Huang Guozhong: "Thank you for believing in Ren!"

Late at night, Yukun Palace.
"Your Majesty has arrivedβ"
Outside the palace, the high-pitched singing of eunuch Wei Zhong sounded, and Concubine Yuan, who had already been prepared, led a group of maids to hurry outside the palace, knelt and bowed, and greeted the emperor.
Unlike in the past, the emperor did not personally help Concubine Yuan this time, but said lightly and walked into the palace by himself. Concubine Yuan was stunned, so she had to get up on her own and follow.
Concubine Yuan's enthusiasm was the same as before, personally untying the mink for the emperor, and handing tea and water at the back, but the emperor's attitude was very different from the past, and he seemed to disdain to contact Concubine Yuan at all, even if it was a little bit of clothing.
Concubine Yuan was surprised in her heart, and couldn't help asking, "Is Your Majesty unwell?" The concubine will prepare hot water for Your Majesty and serve Your Majesty to bathe. β
"No need. The emperor said coldly.
Concubine Yuan's suspicion was even thicker, and she asked: "Your Majesty's mood tonight is not very good, if Your Majesty doesn't mind, say to the concubine, spit out bitter water, maybe the mood will be better." β
However, the emperor did not answer at all, and said directly: "I came to you tonight, and I only have a few words to say. β
Seeing that the emperor's expression was so serious, Concubine Yuan suddenly remembered one thing, that is, someone trespassed into the harem last night, and although the two people who broke into the palace at that time were corrected on the spot, they could not hide the fact that her body was clearly seen by the two people.
She thought that the emperor was haunted by this matter, so she immediately explained: "Your Majesty, the concubine is innocent of last night's incident......
"I didn't say anything about it. The emperor's expression was still serious, but his eyes were staring straight at Concubine Yuan's face.
Concubine Yuan was a little relieved, but when she saw the emperor staring straight at her, her face was slightly red, and she lowered her head shyly: "Your Majesty, why are you looking at your concubine like this......"
The emperor's tone was flat: "Concubine Yuan's complexion is getting better and better, her complexion is ruddy, her skin is shiny, and she looks like she is ten years younger." β
Concubine Yuan couldn't believe that the emperor would praise herself, and I have to say that this was the first time she had been praised by the emperor since she entered the palace.
"Your Majesty......" Concubine Yuan was excited and didn't know what to say, her pretty face was crimson, and she was even more charming.
The emperor finally looked away, picked up the tea bowl, his eyes fell on the tea leaves that gradually unfolded, and said lightly: "The ancients, the lonely yin does not grow, and the solitary yang does not give birth, do you know the meaning of this sentence?"
Concubine Yuan shook her head: "Please give your majesty advice." β
The emperor did not explain, but said, "Remember the last time I gave you favor, it was a year ago, right?"
Concubine Yuan blushed and nodded, she thought that the emperor was going to "open the ring" tonight, so she said excitedly: "The concubine is always ready." β
Seeing that Concubine Yuan still didn't understand what she meant, the emperor shook his head and said coldly: "I haven't given you grace for a year, why are you radiant? I'm afraid there is another reason, right?"
It's all said and done, if Concubine Yuan doesn't understand it again, then she will be a popular concubine in vain, she understands that the emperor is hinting at whether he has a relationship with other men!
Thinking of this, Concubine Yuan was suddenly so frightened that she almost went out of her body, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the concubine will never dare to do that, never dare!"
"If you quibble, I will make your death ugly. The emperor's voice was full of murder.
Concubine Yuan collapsed instantly, she knew that dying ugly meant not only to expose her ugly things, but also to implicate her family, and even be exterminated.
"Your Majesty, the concubine deserves death. Concubine Yuan's expression was sluggish, but she was already in tears, "The person who secretly fornicates with the concubine is ......"
"You don't need to say it, I know. As he spoke, the emperor casually threw a piece of white silk to Concubine Yuan, "You can go in peace, I will not pursue your family." β
Concubine Yuan hugged Bai Aya, cried and thanked her, and then hanged herself.
