Chapter 423: Mountain Collapse

Since Duan Zhixi was ill, except for the first day when the emperor personally visited Fengqi Palace, he has never set foot in Fengqi Palace. There were discussions in the palace www.biquge.info the pen, fun and pavilion,—— some people said that Duan Zhixi had an incurable disease, and some people said that Duan Zhixi and Ouyang Han were in love with the emperor. There are always discussions, and all kinds of rumors are coming, so that everyone can't figure out why the emperor is so cold Duan Zhixi. Some people even said that the emperor was actually tired of Duan Zhixi, and the reason why he let her be the queen in charge of the harem was nothing more than to win over the Duan family behind her!

In this way, in the unfounded speculation of everyone, the first spring of Ouyang Xi's succession to the throne as emperor passed like this.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Ouyang Xi's temper is getting bigger and bigger.

How can it not be annoying? The Lu family's father and son sent news that Dongfang Jie, the monarch of the Eastern Qi Kingdom, led an army of 100,000 troops from his imperial capital to the "Qingfeng" who was only a few dozen miles away from the capital of Nanyuan. It's just a small town, how can it resist Dongfang Jie's 100,000 army?

Thinking that Dongfang Jie has always been friendly with the waste prince Ouyang Zhao, and the waste prince died of illness in Xiaoye City for no reason, he was already suspicious, but he didn't think that so many two generations of Nanyuan had died in a few days, and each of them was inextricably entangled with Ouyang Han. In the end, it was King Kang, the villain, who profited, but ...... It was Ouyang Zhao who formed an alliance with him at the beginning, he only promised Ouyang Zhao not to attack Nanyuan for ten years, but he didn't promise Ouyang Xi, a sanctimonious villain!

Since his accession to the throne, Dongfang Jie has been vigorously arming and constantly annexing some small countries around him to strengthen himself. And Ouyang Xi, the emperor, is not so justifiable, although the people are optimistic, but in the end, there is not much military power to maneuver. Moreover, he had just ascended the throne, and the country was unstable, and the ministers of the DPRK and China formed parties for personal gain, and there were many factions of each party. Although Ouyang Xi has the confidence to win, he is just powerless under such internal and external troubles!

And the old queen mother in the Yonghe Palace passed away suddenly under such chaotic and eventful internal and external troubles.

On the day when the Queen Mother was in the coffin, Mama Jin and Su'er hanged themselves and went with the Queen Mother.

It was night, and because of the weather, there was not a single star in the sky.

The corners of Ouyang Xi's lips calmly pulled up an indifferent arc, "Xiaohan, now that only you and I are left, are you willing to help me?" His tone was light and light, so light that he couldn't hear any emotions of joy and anger, Dongfang Jie was Ouyang Han's senior brother. He didn't believe that Dongfang Jie would withdraw his troops for such a junior disciple from the outer sect, but at least Ouyang Han knew Dongfang Jie, and he would always have a better chance of winning if he knew himself!

Ouyang Han's gaze faintly swept across Ouyang Xi's face, and an unspeakable feeling arose in his heart. Yes, now he can only use himself.

"Your Majesty, why do you say this, if you talk about helping, Lord Nie is much more capable of other ministers. Now ......" Ouyang Han coughed lightly with a slight look of concern, and said, "Now that the minister is dragging such a sick body, what else can he help Your Majesty?" ”

Ouyang Xi looked at the sad look in Ouyang Han's bottomless eyes, his expression was slightly solemn, slightly embarrassed, and he wanted to speak again, but after being silent for a long time, he couldn't help but say: "I ...... I hope that the Northern Xia Kingdom can help! He paused and seemed to sigh, "I know that the Yuwen family and our Ouyang family are feuding, but it's just ...... Now the Eastern Qi army is pressing, and the Western Shu is ...... I really can't help it! After that, Ouyang Xi couldn't help but feel slightly worried, looking at Ouyang Han, he really had no choice, Dongfang Jie and himself...... Alas, it is absolutely impossible for him to withdraw his troops on his own initiative!

Ouyang Han covered his mouth again and coughed lightly, raised his eyes and said, "Nie Changyan ...... Ahem, isn't he brave and good at fighting, and Brother Duan...... Your Majesty can send them to fight, and we are not without people in Nanyuan, so why do you need to ask people from Beixia to come forward to help! ”

Ouyang Xi's eyebrows furrowed, there was a hidden anger, and a pair of dark and heavy eyes were even more bottomless, his whole face was barely calm, and he said, "So, you don't want to help me...... Right? ”

Ouyang Han had a slight vague smile on his face, "Your Majesty should know that it is no longer a matter of the ministers helping or not helping, and now that the Northern Xia Kingdom is Tan Yifeng as the emperor, he ...... Although he is the half-brother of the minister, he finally poisoned his father because of the hatred of killing his father, and his mother was ...... It is absolutely impossible for him to help us Nanyuan. As for Xue'er......" he said, his eyes lit up, he pondered for a moment, and then carefully looked at Ouyang Xi's face a few times, the corners of his lips raised slightly, "Since she went back to Beixia, she has never taken the initiative to contact Chen, I don't know about her...... Will I be back! He quietly replaced "minister" with "me", just hoping that Ouyang Xi could understand his current difficulties.

Now in such a situation, Ouyang Xi sighed silently in his heart, and a look of worry appeared between his light eyebrows, "Yes, Yuwenxue is gone, they Beixia will not want to help us!" ”

A cold light condensed in Ouyang Han's eyes, "That's right." The first emperor sent Nie Tian to kill Yuwen He, so they must not help us Nanyuan! ”

Ouyang Xi was so shocked in his heart that he hurriedly concealed his look, full of worry, and asked tentatively, "...... Got it all? ”

Ouyang Han snorted lightly, his gaze coldly on Ouyang Xi's face, "...... Your Majesty, have you forgotten that since you were a minister, you are the naughtiest of us? ”

Ouyang Xi stared at Ouyang Han's gaze, as if he wanted to see the bottom of his eyes, as if it took a long time before he slowly breathed out: "Yes, Xiaohan, you have been the smartest one since you were a child." It's ...... to talk about your eldest brother like this" paused, he didn't say it after all, although he told Nie Changyan that Ouyang Han was his brother, and Nie Changyan was also his brother, but ...... Or Ouyang Han's brother is more important! He couldn't care less about Ouyang Han's feelings!

Ouyang Han nodded slightly, only looking into the distance, "...... It was Nie Changyan who did it! If you don't take the initiative to tell him the truth of the matter, I'm afraid that no matter how long it will take, he will always believe that my father is his father's enemy. He...... They won't let me go after all. He paused and suddenly increased his tone, "And for Your Majesty, Nie Changyan has long been your right-hand man for so many years, and in order for him to work for you, you naturally turn a blind eye to what he does, not to mention that losing my eldest brother is no loss for you!" ”

Ouyang Xi didn't hear the meaning of Ouyang Han's words, his eyes lit up, and he stared at him and said, "Xiaohan, you are indeed very smart, no wonder the imperial grandfather spoiled you so much!"
