Chapter 352: The End of the Strong Crossbow

"You're moving too fast, you can't delay for a while and then refuse him?" The emperor was displeased.

"Wei Shen doesn't like to drag mud and water!" Xiao Hanyin didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.

"I originally wanted to wait for King Cheng to reveal his flaws, and then find a way to catch him all, but now your behavior has disrupted my deployment!" The emperor sighed and said, "Forget it, I won't hide it from you anymore!" ”

In fact, the emperor never thought that he would keep it from Xiao Hanyin.

It's just that the time hasn't come, so he has been adopting a laissez-faire attitude and letting King Cheng toss.

King Cheng acted quite cautiously, although after he returned to the imperial city, he had been secretly courting officials.

However, the emperor didn't catch him for the time being, so he endured it all the time, but Xiao Hanyin was too eager, so he had to advance the plan......

"Please also make it clear to Your Majesty!" Xiao Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he saw that the emperor was finally willing to tell the truth.

"I have been sending people to follow you and the crown prince before, all because I suddenly received a letter from King Cheng, in which he told Zheng that someone is going to be unfavorable to me and the prince!" The emperor glanced at him and said.

"In that case, why did the emperor let people follow Weichen?" Shouldn't they just find someone to protect their father and son?

Xiao Hanyin was full of doubts about this.

"King Cheng said that the person who wants to be unfavorable to me and the prince has had contact with you!" Naturally, the emperor would not do this for no reason.

"Your Majesty believes his words?" Xiao Hanyin felt that this matter was very ridiculous.

The emperor almost all knew that the emperor knew that if someone really wanted to be unfavorable to them, he was afraid that he would have already revealed his fox tail.

As a result, the person mentioned by King Cheng never appeared, but he gradually showed his ambitions.

"King Cheng gave me some evidence!" For Xiao Hanyin's loyalty, the emperor naturally would not doubt it.

After all, almost all of his every move is under his control.

However, the evidence that became given was very realistic, so the emperor sent someone to secretly stare at Xiao Hanyin.

Although he believed Xiao Hanyin in his heart, he also wanted to see if their husband and wife had any abnormal behavior.

As the emperor, he can't even trust his own son completely, how can he not be suspicious in this situation.

However, what kind of person King Cheng is, the emperor also knows it.

Although he gave up back then, he had no choice but to do so.

If he had the chance, he would definitely fight to the end.

For such a person, how could the emperor really fully believe his words.

So, while letting people stare at Xiao Hanyin and his wife, the emperor secretly paid attention to what King Cheng did.

King Cheng had outstanding military achievements that year, and many ministers in the court wanted him to be emperor.

However, the people of the Xiao family have always stood firmly behind him and supported him to ascend the throne.

At that time, Xiao Yifeng's father was a first-class general in the imperial court and held military power.

Although King Cheng has also fought on the battlefield for many years, he is not as good as Xiao Yifeng's father.

Even Xiao Yifeng's father at that time did not have a high position.

However, the first emperor gave him the power of the army.

After the first emperor's body gradually failed, he had already sensed the ambition of becoming a king, but unfortunately he was already at the end of his strong crossbow at that time, but he had not yet reached the age of becoming a king.

Many ministers in the court have secretly taken refuge in him, and in such a situation, the first emperor has no way to drive him out of the court.

As a result, he could only find a way to weaken the power of the king.

After King Cheng had scruples, he naturally had no way to directly compete with the emperor for the throne.

After all, if he fails, he will be punished by the Nine Clans.

At that time, King Cheng left, and the royal family gradually returned to peace.

The emperor thought that this matter was over, but who would have thought that twenty years later, he would come back again.

"The evidence of becoming a king, the emperor believes it?" Xiao Hanyin's eyes flashed slightly.

"If I really believe it, will you have a chance to stand here?" The emperor snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty is deliberately confusing him?" Xiao Hanyin quickly guessed the emperor's intentions.

"That's right, I want to know what he wants to do, so I deliberately pretended to be suspicious of your husband and wife, let him relax his vigilance, and at the same time sent someone to Jiangnan to investigate King Cheng's actions over the years!" The emperor originally wanted to do the trick.

Who would have thought that Xiao Hanyin would find out so quickly, and even did not hesitate to contradict him for this.

In desperation, the emperor had no choice but to put him in prison, deliberately creating the appearance that he no longer trusted Xiao Hanyin.

"What did you find?" Xiao Hanyin had already guessed that the emperor's abnormality was inevitably related to King Cheng's return to the imperial city.

However, he didn't expect that the emperor had been waiting for an opportunity.

"King Cheng secretly recruited a lot of people, and even cultivated a group of dead soldiers, but I haven't found out the whereabouts of those dead soldiers so far!" This is also the reason why the emperor has been slow to eradicate Cheng Wang.

Now, he had little evidence in his hands, and even if he had an immediate seizure, it would not have been able to cure the king's capital crime.

has been a king for so many years, and he is still a thief, if he does not die, the emperor will always be like a thorn in his back.

Therefore, he wanted to eradicate all the forces in King Cheng's hands in one fell swoop.

However, the old fox hid very deeply, and after he came back, he hardly did anything other than win over the officials of the DPRK and China.

The emperor's people are still looking for evidence in Jiangnan that he has secretly bought people's hearts and attempted rebellion over the years. Zero Zero Book House

Xiao Hanyin's side directly clashed with him.

"Your Majesty, Wechen is willing to serve you and investigate the evidence of King Cheng's rebellion!" After Xiao Hanyin knew the ins and outs of the matter, he knelt directly on the ground and begged for his life.

He has long been disgusted with King Cheng, but due to the emperor's orders, he often closes his door.

As a result, King Cheng refused to give up, and had to involve himself and Liu Qingshao.

Xiao Hanyin didn't want to get involved in this matter, but now he has no other way.

Since it is destined to be impossible to hide, it is better to find the evidence of Cheng Wang's crime as soon as possible, put him in prison, and let the emperor dispose of it.

In this way, the court will be able to restore peace.

It was a big rebellion for him to compete for the Bai family's country with a foreign surname, and he knew that this matter was difficult, but he never refused to let go.

Xiao Hanyin felt that he had to pay the price for this.

"I can grant your request, but if King Cheng finds out, I will never help you!" The emperor also plans to wait for the opportunity.

Even if Xiao Hanyin knew the truth of the matter, he didn't think about doing it immediately.

No matter what he does now, it will not do him any good, so why doesn't he respond to all changes with the same.

Xiao Hanyin is his courtier, if he can overthrow the king, it is the best, even if he can't do it, he can take the opportunity to suppress the king.

There is no harm to him in this matter, and he naturally will not object.

In fact, Xiao Hanyin had already guessed that the emperor would definitely agree to what he wanted.

What he wants is to become the king, and the lives of his henchmen, and now he takes the initiative to ask Ying to investigate the king, which can divert the attention of the other party and help the emperor cover up, he is naturally happy to see it......

When Xiao Hanyin went back, he found that Liu Qingshao had been waiting for him.

"What's the situation, does the emperor blame you?" Liu Qingshao's face was full of worry.

"No, it turns out that the emperor knew that King Cheng was plotting against him, and deliberately let him go back to the imperial city, wanting to catch them all!" Xiao Hanyin explained.

"So, now we have become the emperor's blade to deal with the king?" Liu Qingshao frowned and said.

"King Cheng is too lenient, and it is also a good thing for us to confess our sins and surrender the law as soon as possible!" Xiao Hanyin naturally had his purpose in doing this.

"I'm worried that becoming a king will be bad for you!" At the moment, he can't move the emperor and the crown prince, but it is a very simple thing to deal with himself and Xiao Hanyin.

After all, they have no status in the imperial city, and their power is not comparable to him, and their only advantage is the emperor's support.

"If he does it, it's exactly what I want!" Xiao Hanyin was afraid that he would hide and not send it, so he hid in the dark and released cold arrows.

The existence of King Cheng threatens the emperor's throne, and once he goes too far, the emperor will inevitably stop it secretly.

Xiao Hanyin took the initiative to ask the emperor for his life after weighing.

Although he didn't care about his own safety, he didn't want to implicate Liu Qingshao, so before he acted, he would think of a plan to get the best of both worlds.

Liu Qingshao saw that he had his own success, so she stopped persuading, and even she couldn't stop what Xiao Hanyin decided.

Subsequently, Xiao Hanyin openly refused to associate with King Cheng and his wife, and even went against him every time he went to court.

But anything that becomes a king, Xiao Hanyin will find a way to destroy it.

He used his attitude to tell all the officials of the court that he disdained to be in the company of King Cheng.

Many ministers in the court who were wise enough to protect themselves were shocked by his actions.

Although they are also a little unaccustomed to King Cheng and don't want to accept his wooing, they don't dare to be like Xiao Hanyin, who is directly inseparable from King Cheng.

Xiao Hanyin's actions angered King Cheng, but it also made many people who were swaying from side to side have new considerations.

The emperor has been in charge of the country for 20 years, how can he really shake his position as a king with a different surname?

However, they secretly hid these things in their hearts, for fear that King Cheng would know about it and would be hated and retaliated against by him.

Although King Cheng's power is slightly inferior to that of the emperor, it is more than enough to punish several of them as court officials.

As a result, everyone has been secretly watching the matter between Xiao Hanyin and King Cheng.

They plan to wait for things to become clearer before making a choice......

Xiao Hanyin's actions not only completely drew a clear line with King Cheng, but even clarified some rumors about him and Wu Wanqiu outside.

Since he went to King Cheng's mansion for a banquet that day, there have been more gossips about him and King Cheng's daughter Wu Wanqiu outside.

In this regard, he and Liu Qingshao have never cared.

At that time, Liu Qingshao was next to Xiao Hanyin, so they all knew who released those rumors.

They didn't clarify it before, it was all because of the emperor's intentions, and Xiao Hanyin and Liu Qingshao didn't want to startle the snake.

Anyway, those false rumors will soon disperse.

Now, Xiao Hanyin wants to use this matter to provoke King Cheng, so he deliberately dissociates himself.

Xiao Hanyin's approach made King Cheng's face unbearable, and he was furious about it.

After all, in King Cheng's view, even if Xiao Hanyin is a little powerful, he can't compete with him, and it is his blessing that he can look down on him.

As a result, Xiao Hanyin embarrassed him in public, which made him lose face, and implicated his daughter.

Although King Cheng has never liked Wu Wanqiu very much, she is his own daughter in the end.

Now that his concubine is disliked, his face as a father is also gloomy......
