According to what the emperor's subordinates said, Jiang Zhan secretly lurked in the palace of the Western Regions.

He has a disguise technique, so after pretending to be a guard, he easily avoided everyone's eyes.

When he saw the chamberlain beside the Lord of the Western Regions, the other party was immediately shocked.

"I have come to save your lord, and if you make a statement, you will be buried for me at the end." Jiang Zhan threatened in a low voice.

"Why should I believe you?" The chamberlain is loyal to the lord of the country, so naturally he will not betray his master for his life.

"If you take this thing in, the lord of the country will naturally understand my identity." Jiang Zhan dared to come, he was already prepared.

He had already asked the emperor to send a letter to the lord of the Western Regions.

In fact, they have always been in contact, but the emperor doesn't trust the lord of the Western Regions very much, so he will let Jiang Zhan secretly investigate.

After the chamberlain saw the jade pendant he gave, he finally went to see the lord of the country.

After a while, he came straight out.

"Childe, our lord is invited." The chamberlain led him into the dormitory.

"Participate in the Lord." When Jiang Zhan saw that the young Lord of the Western Regions was flipping through the folds, he immediately saluted the other party.

"Get up, you are the person sent by the Emperor of the Xuan Dynasty to help me?" The lord of the country glanced at him and said, "You came here alone this time?" ”

"No, the emperor also sent other people, but the palace is heavily guarded, and the lower officials are forced to use this plan out of desperation to come to meet the lord." If he could, of course Jiang Zhan also wanted to appear in the palace in the name of the envoy.

However, he came here in the name of investigating the case.

"How do you plan to alleviate the current situation of this king in the palace?" The king of the Western Regions saw that he was neither humble nor arrogant, and his attitude towards him was much better.

"In fact, the lord of the country does not need the help of the lower officials, and he can still get rid of the people who covet your status, but he can't uproot them all at once." Although Jiang Zhan had only seen him once, the shrewdness and wisdom revealed in his bones had already made him see the current situation clearly.

"This king hopes that the Western Regions can be calm as soon as possible, but unfortunately the military power is not in the hands of this king, so I implore your majesty to find a way to help me regain the military power." He did have a way to deal with the five princes.

After all, under the competition of so many people, she successfully ascended the throne as the king, so naturally she will not be a straw bag with the title of the eldest son.

"The military power is in the hands of the fifth prince?" Jiang Zhan was almost certain that this person wanted to use them to help him stabilize the regime.

However, Jiang Zhan is not so easy to deceive and fool, it is not impossible to help him get back the military power, but it will have to pay a price.

"That's right, he's gathering soldiers now, and he's going to besiege my big brother." The Lord sighed.

"It turns out that those soldiers were assembled to deal with you." Jiang Zhan and the emperor thought that the Western Regions had a different heart and wanted to attack them.

"If something happens to this king, his next target will be your Xuan Dynasty." His words are not alarmist.

"Xia Guan knows!" If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have come.

"This king has his people by his side, it is not very convenient to act, if you can remove the eyeliner, then this king can secretly help you control the situation on the border." He said with a dark look in his eyes.

"Please rest assured, the lower officials will definitely let you get what you want." Jiang Zhan stayed in the palace for more than an hour, and under the leadership of the chamberlain, he left the palace with the guards who had changed shifts.

After returning to where he lived, Jiang Zhan immediately wrote a letter to the squire of the military department, asking him to cooperate with him inside and outside, and first control the border and take refuge in several generals in the Western Regions.

In fact, after the squire of the military department went there, he had already identified several generals on the border, and he had completely benefited from not resisting the behavior of the Western Regions.

The squire of the military department has already arrested people.

Now after he received Jiang Zhan's letter, he was a little surprised.

He didn't expect Jiang Zhan, who was so upright, to do something in private that he didn't want others to know.

After controlling the generals, they can check the barracks one by one.

Jiang Zhan was still waiting for his reply, and he didn't dare to delay for too long.

According to Jiang Zhan's reminder, the squire of the military department arrested several suspicious people.

As a result, before he could start the interrogation, the other party had already committed suicide by poisoning.

This scene is exactly the same as the caravan leader who committed suicide before.

After he sent the news to Jiang Zhan, he began to wait for the next plan.

Jiang Zhan's side didn't care at all after knowing that all the spies had taken poison.

After all, he had never thought of asking from those people about something related to the fifth prince.

However, when the fifth prince learned that all the eyeliner he had finally inserted had been removed, he was extremely angry.

"A group of rice buckets, in just a few days, were found out." The fifth prince beat a few slaves around him in his own mansion.

"Please punish Your Highness, we never expected that the newly sent officials from their court would be so powerful." The subordinates of the fifth prince did not think that they did not like to do it, but that they had no play everywhere.

"Don't make excuses, in the final analysis, you are too careless and ruined a good game of chess for His Highness." He tyrannically beat a slave next to him until he vomited blood, and then ordered someone to drag him down to feed the dogs.

He has two very vicious dogs in his backyard.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid that the Lord of the Kingdom already knows about this matter, and we still need to prepare as soon as possible." Since you want to seek power and usurp the throne, you can't wait for a long time.

"I know what can I do, the military power is here, as long as I give an order, they have to listen to me, now temporarily give him a few days, and when I deal with the border affairs, it is not too late for him to write an edict of abdication." The fifth prince proudly thought that the matter was still under his control, so he missed the only opportunity to fight back.

By the time he came to his senses, his henchmen had been secretly arrested by Jiang Zhan.

"It's good that you are a big Xuan dynasty, and you dare to break my strategy many times." After the fifth prince's subordinates found out about his whereabouts, he planned to kill him directly.

Since Jiang Zhan knew too much about him, his existence was a threat to himself.

The fifth prince found a group of guards with strong martial arts skills and asked them to cut off Jiang Zhan's head.

It's a pity that as soon as they passed, they were captured by Jiang Zhan and the soldiers of the military department.

At present, the power of the five princes is still stronger than them, so they can't directly recruit them for the time being.

The lord of the Western Regions saw that the Daxuan Dynasty was indeed sincere, so he secretly made a move.

Jiang Zhan guessed well, he really couldn't help it.

Generally, short-tempered people like to use the most direct way to deal with these things......

The fifth prince made several moves, but in the end they all failed, and in a fit of anger, he was ready to directly lead the soldiers to overthrow his brother's love.

However, as soon as the fifth prince gave the order, he was suddenly poisoned.

He fell to the ground and watched as his trusted advisor took away his token of command.

"You ......" He didn't understand how the other party would attack him, he clearly promised the other party a bright future.

"I am a subordinate of the lord of the kingdom, and I have always wanted you to die since I came to you." He directly stated his identity.

"I've been on guard for so long, but the people around me are other people's henchmen." Black blood began to flow from the corners of his mouth, and he knew that he would not live more than a quarter of an hour.

"The eldest prince is the heir chosen by the lord of the country, and it is only natural for his subordinates to assist him." The man stood by, waiting for him to breathe.

Later, everyone found that the fifth prince had collapsed in his bedroom with his eyes wide open.

The death of the fifth prince caused a great storm in the Western Regions, but it was quickly suppressed by the lord of the country.

It was the order of the lord of the kingdom to execute him, and now he got what he wanted, as long as he controlled the rest of his henchmen, the rest of the princes would not be able to succeed at all.

Subsequently, the lord of the Western Regions handled the funeral for the fifth prince, and directly posthumously named him the prince.

Next, Jiang Zhan and the squire of the military department came to the palace of the Western Regions as envoys and presented the emperor's congratulatory gift to congratulate him on his accession to the throne.

"This king has decided to live in peace with the Xuan Dynasty in the future." They used to trade a lot.

The lord of the kingdom knew that they had a lot of money and a lot of good things, but they didn't have much, so he wanted to continue to do business with them.

"My Majesty is also willing to conclude an alliance with the Western Regions, and I will never easily raise troops to attack in the future." Jiang Zhan, as an envoy, held peace talks with them.

Finally, with the consent of the emperor, Jiang Zhan signed a deed with the other party.

The crisis in the Western Regions was resolved, and Jiang Zhan and the military department Shangshu set off directly to go back.

Before they left, the Lord of the Western Regions specially gave them some gems to express his gratitude to them.

If it weren't for them to contain the fifth prince and make him confused, his subordinates might not be able to poison each other so smoothly......

On the way, the two did not encounter any trouble and returned directly to the capital.

After the two went back, they went directly to the palace to resume their lives.

The emperor was very satisfied with their actions this time, and directly promoted them to official positions.

Jiang Zhan became the youngest prime minister of the imperial court, and the squire of the military department succeeded him as the secretary of the criminal department.

In fact, he had no intention of entering the cabinet, but the emperor felt that his merits deserved his current status.

After all, he found out the most hidden old fox in the court this time.

The original Prime Minister Zuo was the person who had been secretly in contact with the five princes of the Western Regions.

He wanted to cooperate with the other party to seize the throne, but unfortunately in the end he fell short.

The emperor was angry and executed him and all those involved in this incident.

The forces in the DPRK and China have been purged again, and now the people trusted by the emperor are not low in official positions.

However, everyone knows that the emperor did this to want them to check and balance each other, so as not to have another prime minister in the future......

When Jiang Zhan returned to the mansion, he and Xue Yao's son were already able to climb.

"I have wronged your mother and son." Jiang Zhan hugged the child and kissed his little face, but he avoided it uncomfortably.

"Things worked out?" Xue Yao saw him and said.

"Well, I won't leave your mother and son again." Jiang Zhan kissed the lips he missed day and night.

The husband and wife had a wonderful evening after a long absence.

The next day, Xue Yao received a holy decree to canonize himself as a first-class order.

She knew that Jiang Zhan had made a lot of contributions this time, and he was a pure minister, so the emperor gave them the greatest grace as a husband and wife.

After Xue Yao and the people in the mansion knelt down to thank the emperor for his grace, they respectfully accepted the holy decree.

Since then, their husband and wife have become the most special existence in the imperial court.

In the next few years, Jiang Zhan was crowned king, and at this time, Xue Yao became pregnant again and gave birth to a lovely daughter for him......
