Chapter Ninety-Eight: Balance of Interests

"Yaoguang greets His Highness." Collecting his thoughts, he smiled on his lips and saluted.

"Huh! Didn't this king say that there is no need for much courtesy between you and me? King Shou raised his hand and helped Xie Yaoguang with a hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. is here, guess what news this king got this time." ”

Xie Yaoguang stopped saluting at King Shou's words, and then raised his eyes and said tentatively: "I see that Your Highness, you are happy, isn't there something happy about it?"

"This king got the news that the prince privately built armor and privately awarded the general."

The word "private" is extremely clever.

Shou Wang's voice fell. Xie Yao's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, according to the law of the Great Calendar, except for the creation of military armor by the Son of Heaven himself, but anyone who privately made and privately awarded military armor, regardless of whether the royal family or nobles were or not, should be punished according to the law.

No matter how confused the prince is, he will definitely not do these things so stupidly, and Su Qinglin naturally will not let the prince be so ridiculous.

So where did King Shou get such news? Xie Yao's eyes darkened a little.

"So what does His Highness plan to do?" Xie Yaoguang's eyes were lifted, and his eyes were full of coldness, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

looked at King Shou weirdly like this.

"Naturally, it is the emperor who is the emperor, please ask him to verify this matter." King Shou seemed to be very confident in this matter, and the taste revealed in his words was also quite proud, "The prince is inevitably too bold!"

"Your Highness, can you have empirical evidence to prove that the prince privately awarded the armor to the general?"

"There is a secret letter to prove it."

"Your Highness, you should know better than I what kind of person Your Majesty is. How could you go past Your Majesty to find out such a secret thing?" Xie Yaoguang looked at King Shou, and a hint of sarcasm appeared in his eyes.

You know, our Majesty is notoriously suspicious. Concealing that he received a secret letter that Wu Goutai couldn't find, could it be that he wanted to find death.

Hearing this, King Shou suddenly fell silent, restrained the smile on his face and said nothing. Yes, I didn't even know about this matter, but I learned it at once, which was really unreasonable. But am you going to miss this opportunity?

Seeing the hesitation in King Shou's eyes, Xie Yaoguang was about to open his mouth to catch a glimpse of Jiang Huaixin's action, and was silent at the moment.

Jiang Huaixin glanced at Xie Yaoguang, and when he saw that the other party's expression was gentle, he said in a deep voice: "What Your Highness Miss Xie said coincides with what her subordinates think, and your subordinates think that it is not appropriate to tell Your Majesty about this matter." Your Majesty has always turned a blind eye to the dispute between you and the crown prince, but it is because it has not yet affected the royal power of the Son of Heaven. After glancing at King Shou and seeing that his expression had not changed, he continued: "If you tell Your Majesty about this this time, Your Majesty will only think that you are planting a blame. Worse still, he feels that your rights are being pushed against him."

Approaching the kingship of the Son of Heaven. When he heard this, King Shou's eyebrows jumped slightly, wasn't there such an example back then.

At that time, the people only knew that King Qin did not know the Son of Heaven, and praised King Qin's merits. There are even musicians who make music to break the formation of King Qin to praise King Qin. is obviously the emperor's son, but because of this, the whole house has not fallen into a good death.

Even the Gusu Gu clan, which was close to them, was also defeated. The two are known as prestige among the people, and the other is the desire of the Han scholars, how can the two parties not move the Son of Heaven together.

The two of them said that the king felt a lot. Naturally, this king will not be like the Shu and the rebellious minister Gu Jia...... Stupid and blunt. ”

Hearing King Shou's words, a touch of coldness flashed in Xie Yaoguang's eyes. Rebellious ministers take care of their families? Hehe, her Gu family has faithfully assisted the emperors of previous dynasties since the founding of the country, and has cultivated many virtuous ministers for the imperial court.

And the descendants of her Gu family are not Zhilan Yushu, amazing talents. However, because of his high merits, he was highly praised among the people, so he was suspicious of Emperor Li. In order to preserve the family's survival under the emperor, there are always people who fall victim to political games, and her grandfather's generation withered, and she was the only one left in the long family.

However, this still could not escape the suspicion of the emperor.

Xie Yaoguang's hand in his sleeve was quietly clenched, and his fingertips pinched fiercely in his palm. As for herself, she didn't seem to feel pain, and still looked at King Shou with a smile.

"Miss Xie, I heard that today's king has ......."

"Your Highness, rest assured. Since I have made you a loyal one, I will not turn away from you. It's just that King Ding saw that I was unwell and kindly brought me back, and His Royal Highness Lao was worried. Xie Yaoguang slowly tilted his lips and said slowly.

"This king is naturally relieved to thank the girl. It's not too early, Miss Xie, go back and rest early. King Shou smiled and lifted the topic over, "Mr. Xie came to this king's mansion that day, and this king should make amends to you." ”

Seeing this, Xie Yaoguang naturally didn't say anything, and immediately bid farewell to King Shou. Originally, King Shou insisted on letting his guards escort Xie Yaoguang back. However, because Xie Yaoguang politely refused, he naturally didn't want to force it. can only secretly tell the guards to protect quietly, lest anything happen to Xie Yaoguang again.

When Xie Yaoguang walked through the camp, a figure came out of the dark and stopped Xie Yaoguang. The two stood quietly in the moonlight, and although Xie Yaoguang smiled with his eyebrows, his hand had already buckled the dagger in his sleeve.

However, the person on the other side had already suffered a loss during the day, so naturally he would not let Xie Yaoguang have a chance to rush up and buckle Xie Yaoguang's wrist. The two maintain extremely intimate positions, albeit rather eerie.

"It seems that the third prince is a lord who doesn't have a long memory?" Xie Yaoguang's slightly questioning tone sounded bland, but in the night wind, it stirred up layers of chills.

"Do you have a saying in the Central Plains that flowers are good on the night of the full moon, and when the cave room is full of candles?" Ye Luyan grabbed Xie Yaoguang with one hand, picked up Xie Yaoguang's chin lightly with the other, and looked at Xie Yaoguang with a smile, "No one will help you solve the siege this time." ”

"I heard that Beiyan is orthodox in blood to inherit the throne, although the third prince is favored, but unfortunately he can't compare to the noble prince of Beiyan after all. If ......" Xie Yaoguang didn't seem to care about Ye Luyan's rude behavior, and there was still a hint of a smile on his face.

Ye Luyan's eyes darkened slightly when she heard this, and she immediately smiled loudly: "The country is picturesque, how can it be better than a beautiful woman." Besides, with the name of your emperor Yan, you are born with a phoenix, but you have your own king in the world, why can't you ascend to the supreme position?"

After saying that, he already wanted to bully Xie Yao's lips.

Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang's expression still did not change, but he raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Your Highness, why should you give up those thousands of miles for me." Tell His Highness that the Great Prince of Northern Yan seems to have a bad appearance in the Northern Yan Khan. ”

As expected, Ye Luyan let go of Xie Yaoguang and stared at Xie Yaoguang coldly.

Xie Yaoguang knew what he was thinking, and he was also a little surprised when he learned about Beiyan's secret from the dark hall. Now it seems that even the people of the Beiyan royal family don't know about it, so it can be seen that this matter is very strange. However, she didn't care whether this matter was true or not, and she felt that it would not be difficult to turn this matter into a favorable situation with the ability of this third prince.

It was Xie Yaoguang who looked patiently at Ye Luyan who was thinking about it.

"Forget it, you Central Plains women are so troublesome. The prince was tired and went back to rest. After that, he seemed to stretch leisurely and turned around and left beside Xie Yaoguang.

"Your Highness, stay here, I want to make a deal with Your Highness." Xie Yaoguang smiled and tilted his lips, "You don't want to leave after hearing this news in vain, do you?"

After a pause, Ye Luyan turned her head to look at the person who spoke, and snorted lightly, "It's too late to think about it this time." Could it be that you can still make other deals with me?"

He had seen Xie Yaoguang's ruthlessness and intelligence, but he had never seen that woman so ruthless to herself as she was.

Although Xie Yaoguang is not a nobleman of the Great Calendar, he won the favor of His Majesty because of a strategy, and the Xie family's own business is all over the country, and it is not an ordinary small role.

What's more, the strength under her own hands can still find out the secrets that she can't find, which is really surprising.

Even though he thinks that he can forcibly seize the throne by stratagem, he also knows that most of them will not be able to convince the public. And what Xie Yaoguang said happened to arouse his interest.

"Your Highness is a wise man. It's just a pity that it's not my people after all, otherwise maybe you and I can become friends. Xie Yaoguang's expression was as usual, Shi Shi looked at him with a faint smile on his lips, "But it's not bad to be an ally with you." ”

"Alright. Don't beat around the bush with this king, you can just say it if you have something to say. ”

Xie Yaoguang stroked the jade bracelet on his wrist with his fingertips, and said softly: "I will give His Highness all the news, but I also need His Highness to grant me a request." I need His Highness to promise me that the grassland tribe will never violate my calendar, and the two countries will be peaceful for a hundred years. ”

There is Tubo in the west of the calendar, and there are grassland tribes in the north to watch, if it were not for the Jingning county lord and Ye Linchen to guard on both sides these years, I am afraid that the border would have been violated by people long ago. If there is a war in the north, Ye Linchen's temperament will most likely ask for war. Therefore, what Xie Yaoguang can do is to make the world peaceful, and live and work in peace and contentment to ensure the smooth follow-up road.

"You have a good idea, and this king will consider your opinion. It's just that I'm curious about what your position is....... ”

Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang didn't answer, he looked at him very gently, and a cold wind and frost suddenly gathered between his eyebrows. Yeluyan, who didn't hear the answer, felt bored, turned around and walked away.

Xie Yaoguang also walked to the other side when he saw people walking away, looking up at the clear moonlight on the horizon, and a sneer appeared on his lips. There was a glitter in the corners of her eyes when no one was looking, and her position was to fulfill her grandfather's legacy.

I want peace in this world.
