After the crown prince Liu Yan experienced Gao Han's incident, he was very careful about the trust of his subordinates, those who betrayed themselves or secretly disobeyed the yang and the yin, if they were not cut to the roots, then how could they stabilize the hearts of the courtiers, people like Gao Han actually had murderous intentions at the moment Liu Yan learned that he had betrayed him, and the reason why he called such a person was nothing more than to tell others not to have two hearts, nothing can escape his eyes. Liu Yan looked at so many members of the court and the central government in the study, and felt a little relieved, listening to Du Zongting's rambling for a long time without saying a reason, he became a little impatient, and said: "Lord Du, don't beat around the bush anymore, just say it!" As long as it is feasible, there will be a big reward for this palace! ”

"Yes!" Du Zongting said, "Gao Han's ability to control the water can be regarded as an unappreciated achievement, but ......" Du Zongting said that the thief's slippery eyes turned, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of cunning.

"But what?" Liu Yan said curiously.

The people in the study also listened with bated breath, just waiting for Du Zongting to say his plan. Du Zongting looked around, the prince understood, knowing that there were many people, in case there was a fine work in the middle, then wouldn't he fetch water from the bamboo basket again. So the prince waved his hand, and everyone also understood, and they all came out of the study.

Just as Xun Mou followed everyone to the door of the study, Liu Yan suddenly shouted: "General Xun, you stay!" ”

Xun Mou was taken aback, it seemed that the prince still trusted him, so he turned around and saluted, and stood back in the hall. Liu Yan pretended to be indifferent and motioned for Du Zongting to continue.

"Gao Han's water control is a great achievement, but ......," Du Zongting said with a sly smile, "What if there is no way to control the water?" ”

"There is no way to control the water?" Liu Yan lowered his head and groaned, without the essentials, suddenly his mind flashed, he raised his head and laughed, "I see, it's ......"

Xun Mou also understood at this time, I didn't expect this Du Zongting to think of this method, from ancient times to the present is self-evident that the difficulty of water control is self-evident, the Yellow River area every time it comes to the flood season, it will be mourned all over the wilderness, the success of water control is naturally the praise of the people, but if it fails, the small people's crops will not be harvested, and the big will cause the people to revolt, although Gao Han succeeded in controlling the water, but if he wants to make the means to collapse the embankment and the tributaries to flood, it can be said that it is easy for the prince, but it is a pity that the people are still innocent, but the ancient and modern want to become the king of the industry, The most taboo thing is the kindness of a woman.

Du Zongting said: "As long as we secretly let people dig a small hole in the main dikes of the Yellow River, then Gao Han's water control work will be ......" At this time, he stopped again, and suddenly felt that he was thinking about something, was it omission?

Liu Yan suddenly frowned at this time, shook his head in a trance and muttered, "No!" No way! Absolutely not! When the Yellow River bursts, won't the people on the banks also suffer? No......"

The study was as quiet as stagnant water at the moment, and the prince's breathing seemed to be audible, his face was sinking like water, the temples on his forehead were "suddenly" jumping, and his clenched fists were released from time to time. After the prince said this, Du Zongting suddenly realized that he was bent on how to get rid of the Gao brothers for the prince, but he didn't expect that there were still those innocent people, but fortunately, the prince finally vetoed his plan, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Bang!" Liu Yan clenched his fist and smashed it the bookcase, gritted his back molars and sighed, then stood up and paced back and forth in the middle of the hall with his hands behind his back.

Xun Mou and Du Zongting were both stunned for a moment, then glanced at each other, and their eyes suddenly flashed again. Xun Mou had also guessed the prince's thoughts, and knew that he was making the most difficult decision at the moment.

The cold wind outside the courtyard was whistling on the window lattice, and there was a rustling sound in my ears, it seemed that the snow in the New Year had no intention of stopping, and the light in the house gradually dimmed, although the weather was wet and cold, but Liu Yan's forehead and palms were sweating. Suddenly, Liu Yan stopped, turned around and faced the sword offered on the east wall of the Duobao Pavilion, although the room was a little dim, but he could still see the sword jewels, the sword body was narrow and long, and there were seven gems of different colors regularly inlaid on it. Du and Xun's eyes also fell on the sword, and the prince had already walked to the front of the Duobao Pavilion, took off the sword, and paced in front of the bookcase. Du and Xun looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Liu Yan slowly pulled out the sword, and Du and Xun seemed to be able to feel the cold light of the sword, and their bodies trembled in unison.

It was the first time for Xun Mou to see the prince's behavior so strange, so he whispered: "Your Highness......" pointed to the sword and said, "This is ...... It's a sword! I just don't know what His Highness's intention is to bring this sword? ”

Liu Yan and Fang Cai were simply unnormal at the moment, he looked the sword up and down, and said lightly: "General Xun! You said that this sword was never unsheathed, is he still a sword? ”

"This ......" Xun Mou glanced back at Du Zongting, who was also stunned, and then hesitated and continued, "Of course...... At last! ”

Liu Yan smiled, "This sword is called the Seven Stars Sword, and the seven gems embedded in the scabbard correspond to the Big Dipper, and it is a priceless treasure, the emperor's grandfather used this sword to kill the enemy, and later he rewarded this sword to the father of the palace, but it's a pity that ......"

"What a pity?" Xun Mou asked curiously.

"It's a pity that after it reached my father's hands, it never got blood!"

When Liu Yan spoke, a faint green light flashed in his eyes, and Du Zongting and Xun Mou instantly shuddered. Liu Yan continued to play with the sword, and said coldly: "Although the sword is still a sword, but now this sword has not wiped blood, but it is not a good sword!" Back then, the emperor's grandfather relied on it to win the world, and I don't know how many people's blood was occupied on it, including the blood of enemies, the blood of innocents, the blood of his own people, and even the blood of his loved ones! After that, he inserted the sword back into the scabbard neatly, his brows were furrowed, his eyes showed a fierce light, and his nose twitched, "General Xun, this matter will be handled by you, and you will take people to break the embankment early tomorrow morning, remember that there are not too many people, after the deed is done...... None of the people sent will be left alive! ”

Xun Mou listened, and was stunned for a while before he clenched his fists and replied: "Obey!" "This errand is obviously entrusted to the most trusted person, and the prince can explain this matter to himself, so it means that he trusts himself very much, but why does he still faintly feel a little cold? This is a beautiful difference, but at the same time it is also a hot errand, and now there seems to be no turning back, but to give it a go.

"That's right!" Liu Yan turned his words around and asked, "What happened to Lu Zuo's younger brother Lu Renxiang?" ”

Xun Mou said: "I heard that as soon as he came back, he went to report to the household department, and he also moved out of the Lu Mansion immediately!" ”

Liu Yan nodded with satisfaction, "Very good!" It's done beautifully. It seems that we are still a step ahead! ”
