If an ambitious person is suddenly blocked from climbing, then he will launch a madness, which is probably much more terrifying than ordinary people.

In Jiang Chong's mind, his choice was not wrong. The emperor is getting old, and sooner or later he will put down the scepter in his hand. And once a son of heaven and a courtier, if the crown prince Liu Ju successfully ascends to the throne, then the ambition in his heart will never be realized.

There is no doubt about it. Because there are characters like Wei Qing and Yuan Zhao, where will it be his turn to be in charge of the court!

It is precisely because of this that Jiang Chong, who is holding the sharp blade of the embroidered guard, once he receives the meaning transmitted from the Hook Yi Palace, he immediately accepts it. The two sides hit it off and began their journey to supreme power together.

Zhao Chengcheng, who charmed the world, firmly tied the emperor's heart, and the powerful embroidered guard commander isolated the news outside. Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to push both the crown prince and the queen into the abyss of extinction and eradicate the obstacles would have been a very good thing to do.

But who would have thought that the young marquis who they expected to go out to avoid trouble when the situation was not good would be even more demonic than a demon who had cultivated for a hundred years! It turned out that he had already used a terrifying calm gaze to penetrate the fog and see all these conspiracies and tricks clearly.

He stood high up outside the city, casually watching as these careerists laid everything out with all their might, and then thought they had a plan to start this monstrous catastrophe. Perhaps, in the eyes of the guy named Yuan Zhao, all this seems a little ridiculous.

Jiang Chong, who was rolling these thoughts in his mind, was full of anger in his heart. The killing of Xingyunzi a moment ago, as well as the actions of the Yulin Army, already made him feel that something was wrong. And when the person he feared the most walked out of the Hanyuan Hall and loudly announced the emperor's will, he peeked around, and the sword and sword armor were already surrounded. It's not easy to walk lightly.

"Can't believe his words! His Majesty the Emperor has long listed Yuan Zhao as a prisoner, and he was going to be beheaded just now...... This must be the prince who ganged up with Yuan Zhao to make a rebellion and hijack the holy car. That's why they falsely spread their will, wanting to kill us and so on! All the embroidered guards obey the order and rush out with me! ”

At this point, there is no other way to think of it. Maybe only these embroidered guards under his command can make trouble with him without understanding the truth, and maybe there is still a glimmer of life.

Still, he took it for granted. Just when some of the embroidered guards were about to move when they heard the call, Yuan Zhao, who was standing at the gate of the palace with his hands in his hands, smiled coldly. He glanced at Han Yan. Han Yan understood, and with a wave of his hand, the Yulin Army armor soldiers who had already prepared the divine crossbow surrounded them, and the cold light flashed thousands of crossbow arrows aimed at them.

"All the embroidered guards obey the order, if anyone dares to follow the Jiang as a troublemaker, all of them will be shot!"

The cold and ruthless order came from Yuan Zhao's mouth, and no one thought it was just intimidation. Even those followers who were loyal to Jiang Chong, under such circumstances, none of them dared to act rashly.

Between the fights, Jiang Chong ripped off the cloak behind him and gritted his teeth secretly. Cui Hong's long sword didn't give an inch, and wrapped him tightly. The opponent in front of him was already difficult to deal with, not to mention the Yulin Army and guards who were eyeing him around. It's just that he is very strange, why didn't Yuan Zhao take action himself? If he was going to die in the end, he wanted to die at the hands of this man.

"Yuanhou, since Your Majesty already has a decree, why waste time? Directly order the Yulin Army to shoot all this traitor! It also saves any more troubles. ”

Dongfang Shuo, who didn't know when he came over quietly, whispered a few words in Yuan Zhao's ear. Taking advantage of this opportunity to eradicate all these people who can pose a threat to the crown prince is the best way to do it once and for all.

Yuan Zhao shook his head slightly. Killing people is never his highest priority. Why bleed when something can be solved in a better way?

"After this incident, I believe that His Majesty's heart has been greatly touched. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's position can rest easy. The name of the prince's benevolence and filial piety is known to the whole world, and it should be carried forward in the future. This is also our responsibility as an assistant minister...... The prosperity of the Han Dynasty came, and only the king of benevolence could match it. Therefore, to minimize bloodshed, it is also for the sake of maintaining the reputation of the crown prince. In this sense, Mr. Dongfang may wish to inform his colleagues at a convenient time, so that he can know it in his heart. Hehe! ”

Dongfang Shuo's heart moved, and he keenly felt that Yuan Zhao's attitude was different from before. He was originally a smart man, and after a little thought, his heart was overjoyed.

"Yuanhou, is it ...... Have you really decided to enter the Hanyuan Hall and take charge of the court? That's a ...... That's great! ”

Yuan Zhao looked at the excited expression of his important ally, and a wry smile crossed his lips. Once upon a time, he worked hard to make this land where his ancestors lived as peaceful and stable as possible. After so many years, all aspects of the Han Dynasty have undergone profound changes imperceptibly. Yuan Zhao was pleased to see that his hard work was not in vain, and the land under his feet and this great nation were slowly becoming what he hoped for.

Everything went smoothly. Perhaps, the only thing that worries him is the will in the depths of Weiyang Palace. It was also the most difficult and difficult problem he had long found to be the most difficult to deal with.

For countless nights, he had secretly envisioned several future directions for the growing empire. Including the one he least wanted to see...... That is, in the case of doing our best and to no avail, reshuffle the cards and wash the mountains and rivers in blood!

Spring snow and autumn moons, long winter nights. One scheme after another, he rejected it again and again. It's very difficult to nail down the safest path. It takes not only a lot of determination and perseverance, but more importantly, luck and chance.

I thought that I would have to wait a few more years, and when His Majesty the Emperor was a little older, all this would be considered in the long run. However, the trajectory of history has never shifted by human will. With the early victory of the war against the Xiongnu, the Han Dynasty was pacified. On this day, it is inevitable that it will come to the front.

Since the emperor's illness, the crown prince's imprisonment, and the death of Prime Minister Gongsun Hong, until today, a series of turmoil in Chang'an has actually revolved around the growth of the prince's power. This is also bound to happen. The redistribution of power will not only touch the interests of many court magnates, but also directly touch the sensitive nerves of His Majesty the Emperor.

The supreme in the world, the common master! In the land of China, throughout the ages, no one will willingly give up this supreme power. At least in Yuan Zhao's eyes that have seen thousands of years, he has never seen such a great man.

After experiencing today's great changes, the emperor will regain his trust in the crown prince even if he is touched in his heart. But Yuan Zhao didn't think he would give up power.

Legends like the Holy King of Yao Shun have always deceived fools. Whoever really believes it is an idiot in the court. After all, in the beautified hypocritical legend, no one will believe the fact that Emperor Yao was imprisoned and tortured by his "benevolent" son-in-law, Da Shun, and forced to concede.

After countless efforts, we have come to today's critical moment. Of course, Yuan Zhao did not want to evade his responsibilities because of his laziness and comfort. Although he really wanted to retreat to Changle Plateau and start the fairy life of his wife and concubine, it was just a thought. Since he entered Chang'an again, he has actually decided the path for the next ten years.

"In the future, the court may be different from the past...... The road is long and resistant, I hope Mr. Dongfang can help me! ”

"Dongfang Shuo dares not to obey his fate! You must do your best, saddle the horse before and after, and follow Yuanhou to the end! ”

The two glanced at each other, laughed, and tacitly understood. Mountains and rivers are a promise! This is no ordinary promise, and the weight it contains may only be deeply understood by those of them who have talked for countless nights and nights.

"Yuanhou, this Jiang Chong is really a little powerful! It's been so long, Brother Cui still can't take him, just order the guards to help! ”

Doctor Sima Xiangru and Captain Si Li saw Yuan Zhao whispering to Dongfang Shuo, and the two of them finally couldn't bear it anymore and quietly walked over. Yuan Zhao waved his hand at the two of them, signaling that it was not necessary. These are all friends who are heart-to-heart, and the friendship of many years makes it unnecessary for each other to be taboo.

"The first evil must be punished, of course Jiang Chong must be punished! But not here...... His life and death must be decided by His Majesty the Emperor. ”

After Yuan Zhao finished speaking, he seemed to glance up inadvertently. The woman holding the sword in her lap had already understood the meaning in his eyes. She winked mischievously at him, then smacked lightly and floated to her feet, the long sword in her hand already turning into a stream, stabbing straight down from the cornice. Sure enough, it is as quiet as a virgin, and it is as moving as a rabbit!

Jiang Chong is exerting his full strength at this moment, and the swords are all on the offensive. Forcing Cui Hong to take a few steps back, he was about to see the opportunity to stab into the Yulin army, and then seek a way to escape.

Almost without warning, a chilling killing intent descended from the sky, instantly enveloping a three-foot radius around his body. Jiang Chong was so shocked that he didn't have time to look up, so he raised his knife to seal the top of his head in the direction where the sword momentum came.

But when he heard the crisp sound of "Dangchang", the knife in his hand couldn't withstand the blow of the famous sword Chihuo, the "flying immortal outside the sky", and his palm was broken! Hearing someone sneering in his ears, his arms hurt sharply, and then he was kicked in the back and fell to the ground. Jiang Chong knew that something was wrong, and when he was about to turn over and get up, he suddenly realized that the two arms were soft and didn't seem to grow on him!

"Don't move, just stay there! I'll wait for Master to deal with it for a while...... It's just your arm, and it's cheaper for you! Hum! ”

The woman who fell to the ground after injuring the enemy with a sword no longer paid attention to this unlucky ghost, nor did she look at Cui Hong, who was smiling, and her bright eyes just stared at the man who walked down the stairs, full of show off and pride.
