Ye Xici followed Fang Xiaoyu's gaze and saw a small sign under the pillow revealing a slight corner.

Fang Xiaoyu glanced at Ye Xici, and the dark color in his eyes became even thicker. She was familiar with this brand, but she didn't expect that Ye Xici also had a piece here.

"Can I see it?" Fang Xiaoyu first obtained Ye Xici's consent.

"I don't want to hide it from you." Ye Xici smiled and nodded. Although the person who gave him this sign repeatedly told him that this thing must not be shown lightly, if Fang Xiaoyu didn't see it, it would be fine, but if he saw it, he didn't plan to tell a lie and hide it.

Fang Xiaoyu pulled the brand out from under the pillow, looked at it carefully, and then looked at Ye Xi and said, "Northern Yan's 200,000 army tiger talismans? ”

Ye Xici did not hide it and nodded. The laughter of the Beiyan military should be familiar, she was born in Beiyan, and she should be no stranger to the Beiyan army.

Northern Yan was close to the Dayu Dynasty, but it had an army of 550,000 troops.

Although the Great Yu Dynasty did not provoke much war, it could not stand some small and ambitious countries around it, and always united to harass the border.

These small countries are not very strong, and some are even very poor. When he was hungry and frozen, he risked his life to attack Dacheng in order to get enough food and cold things.

Not only Dacheng, but also Dayu was deeply disturbed.

Fang Jianzhang personally guarded Beiyan for many years, and commanded the 350,000 Zhenyuan army to deter Xiaoxiao. The remaining 200,000 are the military power held by the emperor himself, and he does not listen to anyone, but only recognizes the tiger talisman, and whoever has the tiger talisman is the general of the 200,000. In fact, it is equivalent to that as long as this tiger talisman is in the hands of the emperor, no one can mobilize the 200,000 troops.

However, now the tiger talisman of the 200,000 army is in the hands of Ye Xici.

Fang Xiaoyu's brows could not be stretched. The emperor's series of actions are really abnormal.

You know, Ye Xici is a member of the royal family. He is the concubine of King An, even if he is no longer loved by King An, the record of the royal family tree has not changed at all. He is the one who can inherit the throne of King An, and he is the prince of King An's mansion. As long as he can survive the persecution of Prince An and Concubine Li, this matter will never change.

And who is Lord An? He was the emperor's own brother. And it's a brother whose relationship is not good enough to wear a pair of pants.

In layman's terms, King An himself is also qualified to inherit the throne. No one knows whether Prince An really did not compete for the throne back then. Some people who are gentle on the surface are actually not a few behind their backs. Isn't Ye Shucheng in his previous life a living example?

Maybe King An really didn't covet the throne back then, maybe he exhausted his means and finally failed, but he was never discovered, so he took a back seat, I'm afraid these things are only known to King An himself. However, he was the son of the previous emperor. It would not be surprising if you really have thoughts on the throne.

And Ye Xi resigned as the son of King An, if he was ambitious, he might not have no possibility of success.

Under such circumstances, an ordinary emperor would never let such a dangerous person hold military power. What's more, he still set aside 200,000 from the military power in his own hands.

The 200,000 military power was handed over to Ye Xici, which was equivalent to a reduction of 200,000 military power in his own hands. The military power in the hands of the emperor has not been seen since ancient times, and few will be taken out and given away.

What made Fang Xiaoyu puzzled the most was that. How can Ye Xici also be a member of the Ye family, and the emperor also loves him, although the matter of 200,000 soldiers is a bit unexpected, but maybe it's just that the emperor believes in him?

And what about yourself? What's the matter with the 100,000 troops in your hands?

If the emperor believed the nonsense of Monk Xuyun and wanted to let him help him train his troops to deal with Emperor Dayu's inheritance two years later, then he could say it directly, or give a direct order. The daughter of a courtier, she still dares to resist the decree at will?

Even if the training needs to be famous, then it is a way to allocate hundreds of thousands of people to her, and then let these people go back to train the rest of the soldiers after the training, she doesn't believe that a person like the emperor will not think of this.

Case. Why did you teach her the Tiger Talisman? Why did he put the command of an entire army of 100,000 in the hands of a woman?

Dacheng has no precedent for a woman to be a general since ancient times. I remember that there was an empress who followed the emperor on an expedition, but that was all, she had no chance to command the army.

"This tiger talisman was given by the emperor?" Fang Xiaoyu confirmed again and again.

Ye Xici nodded and said: "Beiyan has 550,000 troops, of which 350,000 are Zhenyuan's troops, and the remaining 200,000 are the emperor's soldiers. Now, their command is all in my hands. ”

"When did the emperor give you this tiger talisman?" Fang Xiaoyu asked.

"A few months ago, the emperor suddenly announced that I had entered the palace, handed over this tiger talisman to me, and repeatedly instructed me not to show people lightly at this time." Ye Xi replied.

"Don't you doubt why the emperor suddenly gave you military power?" Fang smiled and sighed lightly.

Ye Xici's expression froze. said: "You mean, the emperor is testing me?" ”

He is the prince's party, and the emperor knows this very well. At that time, when the emperor handed him the talisman, he suspected that the emperor was suspicious of the prince because of something, so he used this method to test him.

But. At that time, he did not receive any news of anything strange, and the emperor's expression seemed to be very cautious, no, it should be said that it was heavy. And he didn't object, and repeatedly told him to collect the talismans and not show them. He got 200,000 troops in a daze.

Afterwards, he consulted with the crown prince. The two racked their brains and didn't understand the emperor's intentions, so the matter was temporarily shelved.

Now that he heard Fang Xiaoyu mention this, he thought that Fang Xiaoyu knew something, so he asked this question.

However, Fang Xiaoyu shook his head, and then took out a sign from his arms that was very similar to the tiger talisman in Ye Xici's hand and said, "Do you have any questions?" ”

Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes were about to squint together.

He took the sign in Fang Xiaoyu's hand, looked at it carefully, and asked, "This is the talisman of the 100,000 army in the northwest?" There was an expression of incredible surprise on his face.

Fang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "It is unusual for the emperor to suddenly give you 200,000 troops, and what is even more unusual is that he would give me a woman the military power of 100,000 troops." ”

Fang Xiaoyu pointed to the talisman in his hand and continued: "The emperor is not a faint monarch, Dacheng is well organized under his governance, even such an ambitious power as the Great Zhou Dynasty has never really posed a threat to Dacheng. In addition to the great achievements of the generals who guarded various places, the emperor's military power of more than one million is also the key to intimidating those generals who have heavy troops. ”

"No emperor since time upon a time has liked to be left in power. Even if Wenchen runs through the entire political system, but the military general has military power, even Wenchen has to sell three points of thin noodles. The emperor has a million army in his hands, and he can make Wenchen submit. can make a military general throw a mouse taboo, if it is an ordinary emperor, he will never hand over the military power in his hands to others. What's more, one is still a royal man, and the other is a woman. ”

Ye Xici was also surprised.

He doesn't underestimate women. It's just that there is really no precedent for women to be in power since ancient times. What's more, Fang Xiaoyu is not a princess or queen who is close to the emperor. Just the daughter of a military general.

However, it is precisely because she is the daughter of a military general that it is even more incredible.

Fang Jianzhang has 500,000 troops. 500,000! If you add the 100,000 in Fang Xiaoyu's hands, a full 600,000 troops, he is definitely the most powerful general besides the emperor.

If Fang Jianzhang has any trace of disobedience, even if it is based on the military power in the hands of the emperor. I'm afraid it may not be able to stop Fang Jianzhang's 600,000 terrifying army.

You must know that of the 1.2 million soldiers in the hands of the emperor, 400,000 are stationed in the capital. They are specifically responsible for guarding the security of Kyoto and protecting the emperor. Although there are a lot of them, they almost never actually go to war. Such a soldier, even if there are four million, may not be Fang Jianzhang's opponent of the 600,000. What's more, he knew Fang Xiaoyu's ability very well, and the person who could take out such a few high-level exercise cheats to give away, if these exercises were used by her to train the army, how terrifying would it be?

But that's the case. The emperor actually sent another 300,000 of these million troops? Is he sure that Fang Jianzhang will definitely be loyal? Or are you sure that he won't have anything else on his mind?

What exactly does the emperor want to do?

Could it be because of Fang Xiaoyu's identity as a 'Buddha girl'?

Is it because the emperor believes in Buddhism, and he is convinced that Fang Xiaoyu is really enlightened by the Buddha, and he is the spokesperson of the Buddha walking in the world, so he trusts unreservedly, and even does not hesitate to break the rules since the founding of the country and let a woman hold the military power?

Ye Xici secretly glanced at Fang Xiaoyu.

Truth be told, he didn't believe it.

Although he likes Fang Xiaoyu, he has been lingering in his mind about the figure of her falling from the sky against the sun, but he doesn't believe that she is the Buddha's endorsement.

He was not a man who believed in gods. Although he didn't dare to say whether there were really gods in this world. But at least he doesn't worship blindly.

He will not believe in gods and Buddhas like the emperor. I won't burn incense and worship the Buddha and beg for God's protection. If the gods could really bless the believers, there would be no tragedy in this world. And those who are really willing to burn incense, worship the Buddha, chant sutras and meditate, but those who are full of evil deeds do it in order to seek psychological comfort. At least the women in the courtyards of the deep mansions with blood on their hands are the most enthusiastic about praying to the gods and worshipping the Buddha. For example, that Concubine Li.

He felt that Fang Xiaoyu's identity as a 'Buddha girl' was not reliable, and he guessed that Fang Xiaoyu was using a certain method to 'pretend to be a ghost' just to make her identity prominent.

He thought that Fang Xiaoyu did this because he wanted to use such a roundabout way to protect Fang Jianzhang from being suspicious of the emperor. And he is not a pedantic person, and there is no evil feeling about the calculation of the other party's laughter. As long as Fang Xiaoyu does not endanger the safety of hài Dacheng, he does not endanger hài emperor and crown prince.

But he didn't believe it, but the emperor didn't. In particular, Fang Xiaoyu didn't know how to predict the beginning of the heavy snow that was rare in a century, and the emperor had a certain amount of trust in Fang Xiaoyu's identity as a Buddhist girl. Coupled with the fact that a high-ranking monk like Master Xuyun was also involved, it was no wonder that Fang Xiaoyu would be in front of the emperor now.

The fact that 100,000 soldiers can be given is too unreasonable.

"I have never been able to see through the reason why the emperor gave me military power. I'm just a woman. And my father is already a general with an army of 500,000, isn't the emperor afraid that my father will be disobedient? Until now, I was confused. But after today, I more or less understand the emperor's motives. Fang Xiaoyu was just a guess.

can be the emperor, all of them are scheming foxes, and they may have other intentions when they do anything, even if it is just a simple sentence.

"Tell me about it." Ye Xi didn't understand. Even if he liked Fang Xiaoyu, if he put himself in the emperor's shoes, he might not hand over the military power to a courtier.

"I told you that I want you to remind the prince or the emperor to prevent others from poisoning. When I entered the palace today, I recommended Shen Shanruo to the emperor and asked him to work with the doctors of the Tai Hospital to develop an antidote to the plague. It's just that there was a little mistake in the middle, and the emperor's face was not good, so he asked Shen Shanruo to diagnose the emperor and found some problems. Fang Xiaoyu's face was heavy.

Shen Shanruo only saw that there was something wrong with the emperor's body, but he couldn't find the root cause. When Shen Shanruo said this, the emperor did not feel the slightest sense of surprise. After Shen Shanruo stepped down, I personally checked the pulse for the emperor, and used internal force to dredge the meridians for him a little, and found that he had been poisoned, but it was not very deep, and there were secret guards who used internal force to suppress the toxin for him, so he did not have a seizure. Fang Xiaoyu raised his eyes to Ye Xici's gaze and said, "However, there are probably not many people who can poison the emperor in the palace, and they can do this." And the emperor was not surprised by this, obviously he had known that he had been poisoned. The secret guard who suppressed the poison for the emperor probably also understood the horror of this poison. Even so, the emperor has long known that he is being targeted, and it may be appropriate to make some preparations in advance. ”

"You mean to say that the emperor realizes that someone is trying to harm him. Maybe he already knew who the person who poisoned him was, or maybe he just guessed a little, just in case, he handed over part of the military power, just to keep the back hand and prevent the person behind the scenes from succeeding? Ye Xici suddenly realized. When he reminded the emperor, the emperor's expression seemed to be careless, so he thought that the emperor didn't believe that someone would poison him at all, and he had no evidence, so it was useless to say more, so he arranged for people to be more vigilant against the emperor's diet and daily life. But in fact, the emperor may have already known something at that time, so he gave him military power, just in case?

And that's not all. The emperor knew that he had been poisoned, but he didn't know the origin of the poison, but he needed to spend internal force to suppress the poison, and he should also know the power of the poison. In addition to realizing that someone is trying to harm him, he may also be planning for the prince by giving you military power. Fang Xiaoyu paused and said: "You are the prince's person, your heart is towards the prince, and you are dedicated to planning for the prince." And you have a very close relationship with the prince, and the emperor should also see it. What could the person who harmed him poison him for? For the throne is the most likely. The crown prince is already the prince, as long as he does not do anything wrong, the throne will be the prince's in the future, and there is no need to take any more risks. If this is the case, it may be done by other princes or concubines, or by commanding slaves. If they dare to attack him, then they can't help but prevent them from attacking the prince as well. To ascend to the throne, the emperor is the biggest obstacle, followed by the crown prince. gave you the right to fight, but in fact, it also gave the prince the right to fight. And you should also feel it, in addition to the seventh princess, the emperor always has the intention of matching you and me. Giving you military power is considered a layer of defense, because you are the prince's person, and if you want to deal with the prince, you must first deal with you, so in order to add another layer of insurance, I also have 100,000 military power in my hands. The emperor believes that if I have something with you, my heart will naturally be towards the prince, I am afraid that the emperor has also reminded the prince that he must treat me well, unless he finds that I have any bad intentions, otherwise I will replace it with courtesy. After the prince is released from house arrest, you might as well ask the prince if he has ever had this matter, if so, I'm afraid my guess will be the same. Fang Xiaoyu sighed that the emperor had good intentions for the crown prince. The emperor really loves the prince, there is no doubt about it.

I see. Such speculation is highly likely.

Ye Xici was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "What kind of poison did the emperor get into?" Is there a cure? ”

"Forget your worries." Fang Xiaoyu slowly spit out two words.

Ye Xi was shocked! (To be continued.) )
