Chapter 287: The Hidden Knife

The emperor was ill in his later years, and he hardly went to court before his death, and all political affairs were handled by the crown prince Nangong Hongxi. It's such a time, and their Xu family still wants to influence the crown prince Nangong Hongxi.

In order to hand over the prince's group of courtiers who could be controlled, the emperor made every effort to suppress and eradicate the snobbery of the Xu family before he died. At that time, he Sima Ce was the knife in the emperor's hand, charging into battle, pointing where to fight.

Before his death, the emperor named Sima Ce as a lieutenant. After that, Nangong Hongxi succeeded to the throne.

The Xu family has declined, and there are no other powerful people except for the Empress Dowager Xu, who has an empty name.

However, Xu Zhiyang, who has also gone through three dynasties with him, that old bastard!

Nangong Hongxi wanted to accept his daughter Sima Qinlan as a concubine, and the will to canonize Concubine Shu was prepared, but that bastard actually found someone to ruin his daughter's innocence.

If she marries an ordinary family, her daughter's innocence will be ruined, and it will be a big deal to withdraw from her family, and the family will be disgraced with her. However, Qin Lan was ready to enter the palace as a concubine.

Fortunately, the decree had not yet been issued, and few people knew about it. He is such a daughter, although he is reluctant, he can only ask his daughter to commit suicide. Cuckold the emperor, what a sin! Enough to raid the house and destroy the door.

Empress Dowager Xu and Xu Zhiyang are sisters and brothers, and the emperor has Sima Qinlan as a concubine, except for Empress Dowager Xu, who else will reveal it to Xu Zhiyang and let him come to such a hand on his deathbed.

Xu Zhiyang, that bastard, Sima Ce couldn't wait to dig him out of the grave and whip his corpse.

Sima Qinlan's matter, fortunately, was handled in time, and he immediately asked the emperor for his guilt, which saved their Sima family. However, the emperor also had some disagreements with him.

Sima Ce understands the emperor, don't look at Nangong Hongxi's magnanimous and benevolent appearance, but this kid is scheming deeper than his two ancestors.

After the third prince Nangong You grew up, Nangong Hongxi appointed Nangong You as the commander of the Yulin Army.

Originally, the Yulin Army was under the command of the Taiwei Mansion, but after Nangong You became the commander, the Yulin Army became independent from the army and became an independent royal exclusive army.

Originally, the Yulin Army only had six guards, but when it became independent, Nangong Hongxi expanded it to twelve guards. As a result, his Taiwei Mansion lost most of its military power in Beijing. The army under his command is only the armies of the Eastern Regions, the Northern Regions, and the Western Regions, which are far away in the sky. Despite this, Nangong Hongxi also divided a large part of these rights to the military department.

Sima Ce sighed. He made a knife in his hand for the emperor, offended many people for their royal family, and in the end, the bird was hidden. If he weren't usually cautious, the Sima family might have suffered in the matter of Qinlan.

His two sons, in order to avoid the emperor's suspicion, only held idle official positions and had no real power. He has done so, but the emperor is still encroaching on the power in his hands.

In the final analysis, this is the Nangong family, and all of them are not surnamed Nangong, they are just slaves of their Nangong family, and they are slaughtered by others.

The emperor used him to slaughter the Xu family, and now he uses the Zhao family and Nangong Youlai to eat him.

Why!!

Four years ago, a clan in the Northern Regions was dissatisfied with the matter of paying taxes, and he ordered the soldiers of the Northern Regions to suppress it with all their might, which led to the Northern Regions Rebellion.

He did it on purpose. The world is peaceful, and the royal family has forgotten how this peace came about.

He sent troops to quell the turmoil and took the opportunity to ask the emperor for power, but who knew that the emperor actually sent Nangong You.

A fledgling boy still has to come to him for advice on everything. He used any means, and the household department could not provide his military salary.

But I didn't expect that this kid would sell all his property and pay for his military salary out of his own pocket. Plus the emperor's private treasury. The rebellion in the Northern Regions actually put him down.

Nangong You may not be able to see that this matter of military salary is something that someone is stumbling in. However, with Nangong Hongxi's scheming, he should have seen it.

Sima Ce knew that after this incident, he was afraid that he would not even be able to keep the position of the captain. Let's have a book

He can have no rights for the time being, but he cannot leave the imperial court. As long as Nangong is abolished, who else can sit in his position.

He planned two assassinations in the North, but the kid ended up with a life. But fortunately, he was paralyzed and became a waste.

But I didn't expect that after more than a year, he actually recovered!

Only then did he notice the woman beside Nangong You, Ye Wanyan.

It can be seen that that woman has a deep influence on Nangong You.

Taking advantage of Xu Zishu's marriage into the Xuanwang Mansion and Empress Dowager Xu's detention of Ye Wanyan in the palace, Sima Ce ordered someone to sneak into the Empress Dowager's palace, stunned Ye Wanyan with smoke, and created an illusion of suicide by cutting her wrists.

He has been waiting for his moment. That night, Nangong You sneaked into the Empress Dowager's Palace, which was the best time. He wanted to make Ye Wanyan look like she was committing suicide, but Nangong You wouldn't believe that she was committing suicide.

In this way, apart from Empress Dowager Xu and Xu Zishu, who else will have the motive to kill Ye Wanyan.

What a pity! Nangong You did not kill Xu Zishu or kill Empress Dowager Xu.

This kid used to be impulsive and reckless, but in the past year or so, it seems that a lot has changed.

Sima Ce sat in an ordinary house with no lights, thinking about what he had done step by step over the years.

Now the goddess has finally "woken up", but how can the matter of the goddess be involved in Nangong You's kid.

The Northern Regions are now in action. Just wait for the right time to transfer Nangong Chen away. That kid is a good bait.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Sima Ce's mouth.

Little Xu Zishu, Sima Ce didn't pay attention to it. However, since she is Xu Zhiyang's granddaughter, let's report it back and report it!

Sima Ce summoned Master Feng to the front and whispered a few words.

Master Feng bowed down and responded "yes".

A few days later, in the early morning, Xu Zishu and Lu Ting were naked, wrapped in quilts, and thrown at the side door of the palace. This is the palace gate that ministers must pass through every day. The impact was sensational, you can imagine.

When Nangong You heard that Xu Zishu had committed adultery, his first reaction was: Great! Finally there is a handle.

Ye Xiaoyan's face was black. I've never seen someone who has been cuckolded, and he is still wearing it so happily.

That was a few days later, and now moving on to that night.

During the day, Nangong You's wrist broke and lost, so he could only wait to receive the "reward" at night. Ye Xiaoyan didn't tease him anymore, and "rewarded" him. Oh no, maybe several. In short, Nangong fell asleep contentedly.

In his sleep, he dreamed that he was married, and the bride was not Ye Xiaoyan, but another woman. He made the woman queen and had two children with her.

Nangong You in the dream felt that his body and mind were bound, and he wanted to struggle, but he couldn't break free.

Half-asleep, he felt a woman behind him cling to him, a slender jade hand reaching from behind him, hugging his chest.

Nangong was stunned, unable to tell whether this was a dream or a reality. In short, he suddenly mobilized the internal force of his whole body and bombarded his back.
