Many people in Chang'an still remember that a few months ago, when the Japanese military situation was urgent, Changle Hou Yuanzhao hurriedly ended his wedding, went out of Chang'an in a big red suit, and went to the front line. It is the heart of the country and the people, and the Chang'an market has been sighed for so far.

Now that he has returned, although he is still the same, he is dressed in white clothes, and the dust covers his old face. Outside the West City Gate, a horse is a thousand, facing the sword and armor. Everyone held their breath, not knowing what was going to happen next.

Yuan Zhao sneered in his heart, and he naturally recognized the general who was dressed all over his body on the other side. It was none other than Li Xuanji, who rushed back to Chang'an for a period of time in advance.

The emperor's hand is very slippery! From this point of view, no matter which dynasty or generation of emperors, no matter how open-minded and eloquent they are, the means of balancing power and tricks are the same, and there is no new way to play.

After the final battle with the Xiongnu is over, Wei Qing, who has returned triumphantly, will inevitably receive a great reward again. commanding the strongest cavalry in the world, and dozens of young generals who grew up in the war, such a force can be said to be unmatched in the entire Han army.

With such wings and solid backing, the crown prince and the empress have further stabilized their positions, but invisibly, they have already aroused the vigilance in the emperor's eyes. Although no one is aware of this yet, Yuan Zhao has already understood it.

It was in this context that the emperor took the excuse of transferring Li Xuanji back to Chang'an, entrusting him with an important position, and cultivating his power in Chang'an City in advance, so as to serve as another force to compete with Wei in the army in the future. There is naturally an unspeakable mystery in this.

The supreme imperial power in the world, as the most important weight of the mountains and rivers in this world, the emperor holds it tightly in his hands, and will never allow anyone to touch half of it. And to ensure absolute security, whether in the court or in the palace, it is inevitable to deliberately sit and watch the confrontation between different forces, or even deliberately conniving.

Such a law or an unspoken rule is well known to everyone in the court, but they can't get rid of it. Within the controllable range, the more powerful the courtiers between the different factions become, the more stable the throne will be. On the contrary, if there is harmony in the court, and the ministers tolerate and unite with each other, then the person who sits on the emperor's throne may be very dangerous in his hand.

No one can escape the temptation of glory and wealth or ambition, so although he knows that this is a means of control from the emperor, he still falls into it and cannot extricate himself.

Yuan Zhao looked coldly at Li Xuanji who came over on horseback. The ambition of the Jade Palace, since the little prince was particularly loved by the emperor, has grown irrepressibly. The ruthlessness of imperial power, sure enough, even family affection is as weak as a cruel use.

When he was in the army, he once had the intention of killing, and he wanted to kill Li Xuanji in advance before many things happened. It's just that he hesitated for a moment and gave up again. Even if Li Xuanji is killed at that time, I am afraid that the emperor will find another candidate, and such a situation will be formed after all, and it will not help.

"Yuan Zhao, is that you? In broad daylight, you dare to commit murder, these lords in the court are much older than you, and you treat them like this! If there are three longs and two shorts, can you afford to take responsibility? Hum! ”

The corners of Li Xuanji's eyes and eyebrows were full of evil spirit, although he was not as scheming as his brother Li Yannian, but he was also a decisive person. Ever since he heard that the captain of the city gate had sent someone to report the general situation, his heart moved, and he had a premonition that a golden opportunity might have arrived. When he saw the form in front of him clearly by the city gate, he had already made a decision in his heart, today's things will be frustrated by Yuan Zhao!

Seeing the arrival of the new Nine Gate General Li Xuanji, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was unceremoniously accusing to Yuan Zhao. Wei Ji and the others of the Great Han Dynasty were all in high spirits, and they couldn't care about the humiliation they had just received. nodded again and again beside him, complaining loudly.

"The general came just in time. Yuan Zhao's guy is very hateful, if the old man hadn't dodged in time just now, this leg would have been wasted! The general is responsible for the safety of the nine gates, but he must act impartially and be fair! ”

"Yes, yes! He is so proud of his achievements at a young age, he regards human life as a mustard, poisoned the living creatures last night, and even more so today...... As an official of the imperial court, I am still treated like this, let alone ordinary people! If it goes on like this, what's going on?! ”

"Yuan Zhao, you executioner...... Give back our lives! ”

It seems that there is a backbone all of a sudden. Li Xuanji's arrival gave them a lot of confidence. No matter how powerful Yuan Zhao is, does he dare to openly confront the soldiers and horses of the Nine Gates under Chang'an City? If he really dares, it will be no different from rebellion.

Feeling the restlessness of Ryoma behind him, Yuan Zhao glanced back and signaled Huo Quzhi, who was already full of anger, not to be impulsive. Hearing the big words on the other side, Huo Quai, who was about to rush out and teach them a hard lesson, held his sword tightly in anger. What if there are thousands of troops? Can you stop yourself and Master from following in your footsteps?

"Li Xuanji, I am ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to return to Chang'an to report on my work. When he entered the city, he was blamed and blocked by these people for no reason. Are you blind? Can't see the situation in front of you, who is gathering people's affairs? If you don't dispel these irrelevant people, you don't ask about the blame, if you don't have another purpose, it's a raccoon dog! ”

Yuan Zhao was unceremonious, and his words were thorny, pointing directly at his heart. The onlookers were surprised, and many people had secretly applauded in their hearts, Yuanhou was really as sharp as the legend, his words were like knives, and the knife saw blood!

Li Xuanji broke his calculation as soon as he heard Yuan Zhao come up, and he didn't even leave a little affection, this is to completely turn his face! In addition to the anger in my heart, I strengthened my determination to get rid of it as soon as possible.

"His Majesty the Emperor entrusted the general with the heavy responsibility of the Nine Gates, and granted the right to make decisions at the right time, and in case of emergency, he can deal with it first, and then report it. Yuan Zhao, I don't care who you are before, what I see in my eyes, but I only see that you want to hurt people, if you don't restrain it, I'm afraid it will cause a bigger incident. Chang'an City is about to usher in the grand event of the world's dynasties, but at such a moment, there is no chaos. So, for the sake of safety, I'm afraid I'm going to have to wronged you. Please go to the camp with this general first, and when His Majesty the Emperor's will arrives, he will naturally let you go!" ”

As soon as he said this, the scene was in an uproar. Although the words are a little tactful, the meaning is already obvious. That is, the general of Jiumen wanted to use the power in his hands to forcibly detain Changle Hou Yuanzhao, who was going to enter Chang'an City, and take him to the garrison camp.

This kind of thing, not to mention that the ordinary people of Chang'an were shocked and abnormal, even Wei Ji and the others were taken aback. They didn't expect that Li Xuanji would act so ruthlessly and decisively, and he would arrest people if he didn't say a word, and the target of the arrest was the important minister of the country who had made great achievements and returned thousands of miles. Sure enough, there are people with backers in the background, and they have nothing to fear when they do things!

"Thieves dare! I'll see which of you dares to step forward and make a move! ”

With a crisp drink, the red mang, who had already been unbearable, came out of the sheath, and with a sword in his chest, Ryoma turned around and firmly protected Yuan Zhao behind him. Huo Quzhi's handsome eyebrows crossed his eyebrows, and a cold murderous intent flashed across his face. At this moment, no matter who it is, as long as he dares to come over, the sword in his hand will never tolerate half a point, no matter what bullshit general he is, he will kill him without leaving a piece of armor!

Li Xuanji narrowed his eyes, the other party dared to hold a sword to resist the blood staining on the spot, he couldn't ask for it! This is not the Xiongnu battlefield, but under the city of Chang'an. Dare to kill the nine cavalry bravely, in broad daylight, in front of everyone, such a consequence, even if Yuan Zhao's merit is great and he is trusted by the emperor, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain!

Li Xuanji did not hesitate, and with a wave of his hand, a hundred horses on the left side came out of the queue and went straight to the two Yuanzhao who were more than ten zhang away. The Nine Cavalry was responsible for suppressing all unstable factors inside and outside Chang'an City, and the general had an order to arrest him, although he knew who he was facing, but no one dared to disobey.

"General Li, isn't this too ...... After all, Yuanhou is a great Han scholar! So, so ......?"

Chang'an Ling Ren Kuan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead while looking at Li Xuanji who was riding high on the horse with an anxious look. He really wanted that before the contradictions were completely intensified, the parties could stop and stop. However, he didn't have this ability, so he could only pin his hopes on this Nine Gate General.

The look on Li Xuanji's face became more and more cold, and he didn't look at Ren Kuan. Just said lightly and casually.

"Left the court and the army...... The current Yuan Zhao is just a white coat! ”

Ren Kuan took two steps back, not daring to say more. He was frightened in his heart, and understood the fierceness in Li Xuanji's tone. This level of competition is really not something I can participate in.

Huo Quzhi held the reins in one hand and the sword in the other, condensed his strength in his chest, exhaled lightly, and faced the armor that rode towards him, and he was about to let the horse fight. However, a hand gently grasped her arm, and gentle words rang in her ears.

"Later, I will go back to the city by myself, and go to the house to tell Lingzhi and them, don't worry. No big deal...... It's only two or three days...... Even if it's a small test, some hearts can just be recognized. Remember, don't kill indiscriminately! ”

Huo Quzhi bit his lip lightly and let go of the reins of Ryoma. Then, she saw the plain and white-clothed figure leave her side and go straight to .......

I don't know whether it is grievance or regret, at this moment, the women who did not move their hearts in the thousands of troops rushed to kill, and suddenly the corners of their eyes were sour, lonely like a child who had lost their support.

In her somewhat blurred vision, she saw Yuan Zhao's white-clothed figure paused slightly, as if she had said something to Li Xuanji. Then he didn't look back, and went away in the smoke and dust as he was surrounded by thousands ......of hidden horses.

"Li Xuanji! You don't have to wait long...... I'm going to kill you with a sword! ”

The haughty hussar general turned his horse's head and headed in the other direction. The words were blown away in the wind, and no one heard.
