"You told him everything?" Fang Xiaoyu's expression was a little strange, and he could even imagine what kind of reaction Xiao Tan would have after hearing those words. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ye Xici nodded, shrugged his shoulders again, and the expression on his face was a little evil.

In fact, he was looking forward to it, looking forward to how Xiao Tan should choose.

These people, who have been pressed by their elders for too long, have not seen much of the extent to which the real intrigue and ruthlessness can go, maybe they still think that this is a kind of protection, but in fact it suppresses their possibility.

The Great Zhou royal family is so special, their education method is destined to teach a group of cold-blooded people.

At the beginning, some things may be unimaginable when they have not experienced that level, but once the truth is clarified and put in front of them little by little, when it is impossible for them to escape reality, they can only make a choice.

King Yun had the intention of abdicating the old emperor. If the old emperor himself is willing to step down, then everyone will naturally be happy, but if he urgently needs the throne of Lianzhan, sooner or later it will cause a backlash from those careerists.

King Yun is old, that's why he is so urgent.

But Xiao Tan is different.

He was still young, and he still had plenty of time to wait slowly. Maybe he will have such radical ideas when he is the age of the Cloud King, but at least not now.

He was separated by two full generations from that position, so he couldn't feel the anxiety in his grandfather's heart.

So, there are two paths in front of him.

First, accept this reality, follow the cloud king all the way to the black, if he succeeds in the end, if he is indispensable, he will be closer to that position. But if it fails, it will also be destroyed with the Cloud King.

The second way is to choose to betray the Cloud King, and reveal the Cloud King's desire to slay the dragon to the dragon in advance. In this way, he may save his life in the next maelstrom, but there is probably no hope for further progress.

Once there is no Yun Wang in the upper town, those backs of the Cloud King Mansion will have no way to compete with those people in the Meng Wangfu. Even if it is the other people who are covered by the light of the two mansions on weekdays, they may not still be opponents.

Even if he has even the grace to save his life with the old emperor, with the old emperor's cold temperament, he can't become a bargaining chip in his struggle for power, but he may completely give up this vein because of the weakness of the Yun Wangfu, and from then on the possibility of them will be eliminated.

Both options have their own advantages and disadvantages, how to choose, Xiao Tan will inevitably fall into hard thinking.

Over the years, these third generations have lived too comfortably. Even those in the second generation have not really experienced the fear of a large knife hanging over their heads. Because, everything is controlled by the first generation of King Yun and King Meng, and it is the two of them who really fight to the death, but ignore the teachings of the next generation.

In fact, no matter which path Xiao Tan chooses, it doesn't matter to Ye Xici.

If Xiao Tan chooses to accompany King Yun all the way to the end, it will be an inevitable war between King Yun's Mansion and the old emperor. And if he betrays King Yun and chooses Gaomi, it will also be a war between the two sides, but the form will be different.

But in the end, one fact cannot be changed--- it is easier to disturb this pool of troubled waters, and to fish in secret.

Just as Ye Xici thought, when Xiao Tan saw the word 'dragon slaying' written on the table with wine, his mind was filled with blanks, and he almost lost the strength to think, and the only sentence echoing in his whole heart was 'This must be crazy'.

Dragons, but a legend.

Whether it is a true dragon or a carp leaping over the dragon gate, the dragon always exists as a totem and a spirit. But! I've never seen a real dragon.

Xiao Tan is sure that there is no such thing as a dragon in the world, so the so-called dragon slaying must not be literal.

As for his grandfather, the true meaning of the word 'dragon slaying' immediately came to his mind.

However, this kind of thinking is just too scary.

In my impression, the behemoth, known as the dragon, has always looked down on everything in the world from a high position.

He was his relative, but in the years he grew up, he never felt that they were his relatives.

That person is an unattainable mountain for him, even if they have always been blessed to grow under this mountain, but they are always so unattainable.

He is majestic, domineering, and looks down on the world.

He is the god of the entire Great Zhou. It's faith.

Even though Ye Xici aroused his ambition to compete for that position, he never thought that this ambition could only be fulfilled by stepping on the bones of this high mountain.

At first hearing such a shocking thing, his whole body was blindfolded.

He didn't even know how he left Ye Xici's residence and returned to his room.

But he knew that the stakes were too high to reveal even the slightest bit of rhetoric to anyone.

Therefore, even if he was in a trance and was questioned by others, he did not dare to reveal even a word, because he knew too well the horror of the word 'dragon slaying'. Once it is leaked, it will definitely make the Yunwang Mansion full of suffering.

He also struggled with Ye Xici about whether to tell the truth in exchange for his own life, but in the end he shook his head and denied it.

for he remembered what the world had said of the dragon.

Ruthless, decisive, cruel, cold by nature, and emotionless.

Even a loved one can be killed without raising his head or blinking or waving his hand, and anyone can be given up as long as the killing is good for him.

If he informes, even if he may leave a life, but since then he has no chance to get to that position, maybe in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he, a person who has his grandfather's descendant blood in his body, even if he defects, even if he surrenders, he will not escape the fate of being wiped out.

He didn't dare to bet.

Since there are wolves in front and tigers in the back, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape death, rather than die of grievance, it is better to gamble on the negligible possibility.

Xiao Tan seemed to have made up his mind at a certain moment.

So after the initial surprise, he began to think about what he could do to make the most of his grandfather's ability.

And, if possible, he also wants to try to find some possible retreat for himself.

And leaf words, it seems, is a possibility.

Ye Xici is not a big deal to see the excitement, try to muddy the water as much as possible, so that it is convenient to touch the fish, and he doesn't care which way the ending of the last big week goes, as long as it is messed up, and the rest, Xiao Jin himself is not a waste, he should always understand how to clean up the mess. If you don't understand, you deserve to die.

Therefore, these days, Ye Xici has become more and more unscrupulous, especially after Fang Xiaoyu was also deceived into Tiandu City, his hands and feet are more open than before. And the means of doing things are much more vicious than before.

He navigated between all kinds of intricate characters, and for a while he became very busy. On the contrary, Fang Xiaoyu was idle, and he had been hiding in the house to study Ji Xiaolu's strange medicines, looking for something that could come in handy.

And Dacheng also became chaotic. After the eldest princess drew a knife to kill people outside the emperor's bedroom but finally returned, the direction of the court became more unpredictable.

And on the second day when the eldest princess asked to see her to no avail, the second prince took the emperor's holy decree, ignored the prince who was in charge of the country, and summoned Zhou Xiang to re-enter the court and serve as prime minister.

Everyone was in an uproar.

Zhou Xiang, the prime minister before Mei Cangyun, although he has always been full of protégés and his influence in the court is not low, but suddenly calling him to re-enter the court as prime minister still makes many people stunned.

It's almost a distant memory.

What's more, Zhou Xiang took the initiative to retreat back then, and because of this, even the emperor was polite to him. Now, he is standing in the front desk again, what does he want to do?

The crowd noticed the prince's situation. They found that the prince's face had become ugly, and even bruised and bruised, and he had lost his former calmness.

However, he did not stand up against it, although there were many doubts about the decree, and he was skeptical about the circumstances under which his father wrote it, and even whether it was his father's intention. But all the processes of this holy decree are reasonable, so even if he jumps out to oppose it, it is useless, and he may even be bitten back if he falls into the other party's scheme.

In this matter, in addition to thinking about the son meeting his father and the emperor, it is possible to find out what the truth is.

But the ministers' hearts are like mirrors.

Thinking about Zhou Xiang's identity, they knew that the second prince was preparing to fight a tough battle with the crown prince.

The second prince has a shallow foundation. Even Ye Shucheng, who had been planning for many years, did not really take advantage of the hostility against the prince, not to mention that he was just a commoner before he entered the palace.

Therefore, if you want to increase his right to speak in the court, the best way is to let Zhou Xiang return to the court.

Zhou Xiang is his grandfather, and he was once the prime minister, and his prestige is still there. However, because he once retired behind the scenes, even if his protégés are all over the government and the opposition, he can't do too much, so as not to cause the emperor's suspicion and backlash. Therefore, even Ye Shucheng back then, he didn't have the intention of coming to the dynasty again. But now the situation is very different.

First of all, the emperor has not been to the court for a long time. Even all the ministers of the court, including the ladies of the harem, could not see the emperor, and the emperor was probably under house arrest.

Moreover, a non-negligible change in Dacheng Jiangshan did not appear for unknown reasons. Whether it is Ye Xici or Fang Xiaoyu, since the Lu Guogong Mansion, no one has seen them again.

And Zhou Xiang's daughter-in-law, Zhou Ling and Zhou Guifei, is also dead, and finally brought the blood and bones that were left out back to the palace, I am afraid that it is also because of Zhou Guifei's death that Zhou Xiang, who has greatly stimulated Zhou Xiang, who loves his daughter and is crazy, so that his already silent heart will revive again. This time, he completely and openly stood up, and it was clear that he was supporting the grandson of the second prince.

And now, although it is the crown prince's prison, the second prince has already shown his fangs. Without the support of the emperor, the right-hand man Ye Xici and the evil Fang Xiaoyu are not there, the prince's actions are in jeopardy.

The sensation caused by Zhou Xiang's return to the court was not simply to stimulate the prince, because Zhou Xiang, a sudden and powerful helper, many people who were originally wavering had signs of starting to stand.

Zhou Xiang's re-emergence from the mountain seems to indicate that the second prince has everything in his hands. And the emperor has not been in court for a long time, and in the hearts of many people, the situation may not be good.

Even though the loyal ministers wanted to save the emperor from the fire, they were helpless for a while, and the two princes quietly replaced all the Gyeonggi guards in the palace with his own henchmen. And when did he contact those Gyeonggi guards and buy them, but they didn't receive any news at all.

The second prince's action was too fast. The swift people were caught off guard.

In the hearts of the ministers, even if the second prince does not dare to compete with the crown prince, he should slowly accumulate strength and slowly figure it out. Unexpectedly, how long has it been since the second prince was recognized by the emperor and returned to the royal clan? The second prince has quickly exposed Sen Sen's fangs, and the level of his means is completely unexpected.

Isn't? Can such a thing as house arrest be done easily?

But the second prince did it.

There must be a traitor in the palace, and it is likely that Zhou Guifei laid down when she was alive. That woman, in order to put her own son on the throne, must have been planning for the day. It's a pity that she herself is not blessed to die when she sees that day, but the power she has set up will not be destroyed because of her death, and it is just for her own son.

Is this providence?

After Zhou Xiang re-emerged from the mountain, he also showed thunderous means, although he did not force the prince to hand over the power of the prison country, but he and the prince were already irreversible.

Zhou Xiangguan neatly disposed of a group of people under various pretexts, most of whom were the prince's people. or deposed, or exiled, or sent to the horns of the birds that don't, so that they can stay away from the court and can no longer help the prince, in short, for a while, the power of the prince is in a miasma.

Even the important ministers such as Taifu and Shangshu have not escaped the clarity, and several adults who have clearly expressed their support for the prince have had many unsatisfactory things recently, and even a few of them were so angry that Zhou Xiang was so decisive and neat that they almost vomited blood, and several people said that they were sick and did not want to see Zhou Xiang's old face.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, if this continues, our power will be uprooted by the second prince and the old puppet of Zhou Xiang!" At this time, even the prince and the prince, who had always been good-tempered, were furious, and even scolded the words 'old horseman', which is a rare sight.

"It is imperative that we think of ways to rescue the emperor as soon as possible. Now that the emperor is not in the court, we will not see the emperor, and we can't be sure what the emperor is doing. If the second prince continues to make trouble like this, the country will be in danger. ”

"But now the palace is controlled by the people of the second prince, and there is Zhou Xiangli in the court, and the second prince is standing up, our situation is very bad."

"Is there any way to see the emperor? At the very least, it is necessary to determine whether the emperor is dead or alive, and whether he is under house arrest under the control of the second prince. If so, as long as we can see the emperor and rescue the emperor from the tiger's mouth, then luck is still on our side. For those who are rebellious, as long as the emperor says a word, they are local chickens and dogs, and there is nothing to do. ”

"That being said, how can you rescue the emperor from the heavily guarded palace? Is it just a few of us old immortals and these three-legged cats? ”

"Hey......"

Everyone discussed, but they always fell into a dead end.

"If Xici and Fang Xiaoyu are in ...... It's fine......" The prince's face turned pale. At this time, he realized how inconvenient it was for Ye Xici and Fang Xiaoyu not to be around. Otherwise, with Fang Xiaoyu's skills, not to mention rescuing his father, it would be more than enough to sneak into the palace to spy on some information.

But neither of them was there. It left him helpless.

And on the second day when the prince and others could not reach a result, Zhou Xiang made another astonishing statement in the court, and the emperor decreed that the twelve gold medals summoned Fang Jianzhang back to Beijing. (To be continued.) )
