At the beginning of the Yin period, it was the time to sleep well in the middle of the night, but the imperial study was brightly lit, and Xiao Yu, the young emperor of Zhao State, walked around inside, looking out of the door from time to time, with a very anxious look on his face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"His Royal Highness King Cheng has arrived!"

I don't know how long I waited, but the shouts of the eunuch outside the door finally rescued him.

"The minister is guilty, please ask the emperor to punish the crime." As soon as Xiao Qian entered the study, he saluted and apologized with a proper attitude and a sincere tone.

"Brother Huang, please get up quickly." Xiao Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help him get up personally, and a look of relief and relief appeared on his thin face, "It's good to come, seeing the imperial brother, my heart is much more stable." ”

"Your Majesty." Xiao Qian got up with his hand.

Xiao Yu looked at him and asked worriedly, "I heard that Miss Yu had an accident, how is the situation now?" Does it matter? ”

"Back to the emperor, Jinjiao is no longer in trouble."

When Xiao Yu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said continuously: "It's okay, it's okay." Then he frowned and asked, "What's going on?" Everything was fine during the palace banquet, why did this happen in a blink of an eye? King Xizhao was imprisoned in Shangyang Imperial Prison, what about Lin Qingxuan, the son of the world? ”

Because of the reputation of Yu Jinjiao, Xiao Qian didn't want to elaborate too much on this matter, and replied concisely: "Lin Qingxuan has been killed by the minister. King Xizhao and others captured Jinjiao and wanted her life, but the minister killed him in a fit of rage, and the situation was critical at the time, and the minister was really not allowed to think about it. ”

"Huh? This ......" Xiao Yu seemed to be frightened, his face turned slightly pale, and he squirmed his lips and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all, but the hand hanging by his side clenched involuntarily.

His Royal Highness King Cheng is really ruthless and decisive. Was it just that he was doing this simply to save the woman from danger, or did he already know some secret and use it to clear the way for himself? You know, that woman is the daughter of the Jade Marquis, in case ...... It seemed that it was necessary for him to see the woman alone.

Xiao Qian knew that his younger brother had always been soft-hearted, even if he became an emperor and had supreme power, he was always ruthless to deal with the enemy, but in the fickle court, all forces need to be balanced and restrained, and sometimes soft-heartedness will cause great disasters, and even let the country fall into the hands of others.

As a descendant of the Xiao family, he has the responsibility and obligation to protect this territory and the people on the territory, and will continue to realize the unfinished wish of the first emperor, end the fragmentation of the Zhao country, and make the Zhao country more powerful and rich, and no longer be bullied by foreign enemies.

Even if he didn't become the king of a country as he wished, and he didn't have the power to decide everything, he would do his best to help the emperor fulfill the last wish of the emperor. This is also his wish since childhood.

Now, since King Xizhao himself found death and sent it to the door in advance, it is no wonder that he is not surprised.

He looked at the person in front of him who seemed to be very scared, and said in a calm voice: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, and you can only think of a way to deal with it as soon as possible." ”

Xiao Yu paced back and forth a few steps with his hand before he asked hesitantly, "According to the imperial brother, how should this matter be resolved?" This is not a trivial matter, if it is not handled properly, I am afraid that it will cause random speculation and suspicion from both the king and the marquis of Wu, and it may lead to turmoil in the country at that time. What should we do if several of them join forces to resist? ”

Compared with his worries and uneasiness, Xiao Qian seemed much calmer, and when he heard this, he said in a firm tone: "The emperor doesn't have to worry, if it really comes to that point, the minister has his own way, please rest assured that the minister will not let anyone threaten the emperor's status and threaten the country of Zhao." ”

Xiao Yu had a smile on his face and sighed: "Brother Huang, I know that you are the best for me, and the Queen Mother often teaches me to learn more from Brother Huang. I am really relieved to have the imperial brother to assist me. ”

"Thank you for your praise." Xiao Qian replied as usual, and then began to restate his suggestions: "The minister thinks that the most important thing at the moment is to find a way to get the king of Xizhao to hand over the military talisman of the 300,000 army guarding the west. If he cooperates, the emperor can let him continue to be his king of Xizhao, but he has become an idle rich and noble prince; If you don't cooperate, you can only cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

Xiao Yu hesitated: "This ...... Wouldn't this be too extreme, after all, the king of Xizhao has defended the west for many years, so that there will definitely be people in the court who will complain about it and cause turmoil in the court. ”

Xiao Qian continued to analyze the benefits and disadvantages for him: "King Xizhao is very ambitious, and he is also an extremely cruel and tyrannical person, he will become a fierce enemy of the imperial court sooner or later, if you don't take the opportunity to eradicate his power now, it will become a big disaster in the future, please think twice." ”

"What the royal brother said is extremely true." Xiao Yu nodded in agreement, and after pondering for a while, he made a prudent decision: "This matter is not trivial, let's wait for the early court to listen to the opinions of the ministers before making a decision." ”

"The Emperor's ......"

Xiao Qian wanted to persuade again, but Xiao Yu interrupted him to change the topic: "There is still some time before the early dynasty, the imperial brother might as well go and see the queen mother, the queen mother heard that Miss Yu had an accident, and she was very worried about you, and she didn't go to bed since she got the news." ”

"Yes, the minister retired." Xiao Qian saw that he had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more, and was ready to see the reaction of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs in the early court before making a final decision. After he came out of the imperial study, he walked straight to Shou'an Palace.

As soon as Xiao Qian left, Xiao Yu's face in the imperial study suddenly became obscure, the previous fear and panic had disappeared without a trace, and there was a calculation and scheming hidden in his deep and cold eyes.

He really wanted to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots of King Xizhao and others to never suffer in the future, but unfortunately, this King of Xizhao seemed to have guessed the thoughts of his imperial brother, before the arrival of the imperial brother, King Xizhao had already sent him a secret letter, saying that as long as he was willing to spare him and his family, he was willing to hand over his military power and be an idle prince.

Unexpectedly, the imperial brother made the king of Xizhao, who had always been rampant and had no one in his eyes, afraid to such an extent that he surrendered and admitted defeat before he really competed.

But he likes the foolproof way of doing things the most, he doesn't believe that King Xizhao can really keep to himself, so this time he must borrow the hand of the imperial brother to get rid of the Lin family of King Xizhao, completely eliminate the hidden dangers in the west, and let the western territory return to his control, and as for how to get rid of it, he still needs to plan carefully.

I'm afraid that King Xizhao doesn't know that his son is dead, if he knows, will he obediently hand over the military power? I'm afraid that I will fight to the death with the royal brother.

Only removing the Lin family, the king of Xizhao, cannot make him completely reassured, and he must also wipe out the Lin family's henchmen and forces, so as not to resurgence in the future.

Therefore, the best way is to let the imperial brother lead the army to the west and take it in one fell swoop. (To be continued.) )
