Before everyone could react, the guard, who was loyal to his sister, pulled out the short knife at his waist, stabbed the man in the chest, slashed him a few times in the chest, and then slashed it extremely quickly.

As soon as his left hand was connected, a heart fell into his hand, and then he turned to face the emperor and knelt down on one knee, raising it above his head for everyone to see.

The heart was still beating slightly.

Sister Yan glanced at it and slightly hooked the corners of her lips, "It turned out to be red, and it was still dancing." ”

The man's consciousness had not yet disappeared, and when he heard this, he looked down at the bloody hole in his chest, blood gushed out of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with infinite fear, and he collapsed and died.

The people in the court were trembling and angry, and I don't know how many people here had secretly talked about the emperor, and how many people were planning to deal with her.

Before, I was just listening to how the emperor was cold-blooded and ruthless at home, but what I saw with my own eyes today was even more shocking.

The prince was slightly shocked, and soon understood that the emperor was a capital crime, and he used it to kill chickens and monkeys, which can be regarded as making the best use of things.

After a while, an old minister couldn't help but come out and said, "Although this person deserves death, the emperor should not use lynching." ”

Sister Yan said leisurely, "I heard that the prison of the Criminal Department is overcrowded, since this person has been convicted of capital crimes, this seat will deal with it first, and it will also save Lord Shangshu from having to find a way to make room." ”

Shu Fu knew that he couldn't afford to provoke her, and there was a reason for this matter, and the emperor who provoked him was angry, so when he heard her mention herself, he didn't refute it.

Everyone saw that the prince was not displeased, so they no longer got entangled.

The guards dragged the body out, leaving a pool of blood.

Immediately, the palace people came in and sprinkled with trepidation, and although the ground was cleaned up, everyone still decided that there was a smell of blood lingering in the pen, and it would not disperse for a long time.

On the same day, the Criminal Department posted a notice that some of the remnants of the crime had spread rumors to slander the prince and the emperor, and the culprit had been executed.

With the lessons of the past, the people have long hated the meticulous work, and now, it can be regarded as the innocence of the prince and the emperor.

Although there are discrepancies with the facts, the ministers who know the facts are secretive about this matter and dare not say more, so let's assume that the notice of the Criminal Department is true.

Three days later, new news came, Xie Liulang had already arrived in the grassland, and was collecting news, so that Sister Yan should not worry for the time being, and sent back some information by the way.

Although it seems to be going well, Sister Yan is still very worried in her heart, it will take ten days for the news transmission on both sides, and she doesn't know what has changed in these ten days.

And Tian Shen and Xie Yun have been on the way back for two days.

Qi is not big, the location of the national capital is not far from the capital of Shang, eighteen days is enough time for the news to be transmitted back and forth, and Qi still has time to think about it.

As expected, Uncle Huang was unwilling to let the Qi State become a subordinate state of the Shang State, but he was more cautious, and he was only willing to talk about five points, but in the end he was tempted.

Xie Ling made a judgment based on the information collected by the spies in the Qi Kingdom.

Transmitting the news back to the Chu State, Xie Ling smiled, "I'm on my way home, and I'll be able to go back to see them soon." ”

Tian Shen said, "It's a pity, we are defeated." ”

"It's good that the goal has been achieved. ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu took his henchmen to secretly complete the prince's task, but this time the time was tight, and it was too late to investigate on the spot, which was more difficult.

After another three days, bad news finally came, because of the suddenness of the incident and the lack of preparation, Xie Liulang acted flawedly, and was discovered by the Shang people that someone was investigating them.

The tribal leaders they were in contact with were also nervous, and both sides were looking for people to check on them.

This time the movement is big, and it has alarmed several people, and seeing the news flying all over the sky, this matter will not be hidden.

It has been ten days since it arrived in Chu Jing, and the prince originally planned to let Jiang Yu go, but the Ministry of Industry has not yet completed the plan, and the Ministry of Household is still budgeting.

Sister Yan said, "I still have to tell Your Majesty about this matter." ”

"Good. ”

The emperor was sick in bed, but such a big event could not help but tell him.

"I have said a long time ago, don't be too greedy, if you want to deal with the Shang and Jin countries head-on at once, the Chu State will be in a hurry sooner or later, you and Tianshen are dedicated to making contributions, and the prince is now full of ambitions, if the battle line is extended, it will be even more unfavorable to us. ”

Sister Yan said, "There is always a solution to everything." ”

The prince also said, "That's right, we have already discussed, at the cost of Chu State leading Luo water into the grassland, in exchange for the support of the grassland." ”

The emperor's experience is naturally richer, and as soon as this method comes out, he knows the stakes, "Then you have to solve this matter as soon as possible, and you can't delay it any longer." ”

"Erchen understands. ”

After a while, the news spread everywhere, and people in various countries knew that the Jin and Chu states were vying for the support of the grassland tribes.

It seems that the Jin State must unite with the Shang State this time, and the Chu State is in danger.

Chu was more well-informed, and also knew the news, and only some people in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household understood the task that the prince had inexplicably assigned.

The courtiers were also a little panicked at this time, and they had no opinion on being tough on the Shang State, but in the face of the two countries at the same time, the Chu State would definitely suffer, and once the battle line was opened, it would be difficult for the Chu State to defend.

The prince stood up and said, "Don't be impatient, everyone don't be impatient, I and the emperor received this news a few days ago, in order not to let the Shang people find out, we were wary, so we didn't publicize it." ”

"Do the crown prince and the emperor have a solution?"

The subordinate immediately picked up the map with a look in his eyes.

When the prince explained the plan, everyone was a little dissatisfied with spending manpower and material resources to help the aliens.

But there is no other way, and this time it is considered to be a benefit to the grassland.

Some people with a long-term vision can naturally see the deep meaning behind this move, and they can't help but secretly say that the prince and the emperor have a lot of appetite.

Even if the grassland can't be subdued now, as long as the Chu State controls Luoshui, the grassland will have to be controlled by the Chu State sooner or later.

The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household appeared in turn, and the plan was roughly explained.

This is also a waste of money to eliminate the disaster.

Although the prince personally invited him, Nan Qi was still reluctant to meddle in political affairs, so there was still no particularly suitable candidate to go to the grassland.

Building water conservancy is a big deal in the end, and the grassland is now a necessary place for the two countries, so we must find someone with authority to go.

Jiang Yu is now reused, and he is also entangled in affairs, and Lin Yuan has a soft temperament and is not suitable for this trip.

The crown prince originally planned to let Xie Ling and his party go directly to another route, but this also seemed to be too dependent on them.

While they were deliberating, someone from the Emperor's Mansion suddenly came to ask for an audience.

The man sent a couple of notes.

Sister Yan took it first, her face suddenly became defeated, and then her eyes were full of disbelief, she staggered two steps, barely stood firm, looked around, and suppressed her tears.

The prince's heart was not good, and when he took it and looked at it, he couldn't believe it.

Emperor Du Tianshen and Xie Yun walked to Liangzhou in the Shang Kingdom ten days ago, and were chased and killed by gangsters.

The prince shouted, "Hateful, hateful, this prince will never let them go." "

The courtiers looked at each other, "What's wrong?" "

The prince handed the note to the next prince.

Taifu whispered aloud.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and everyone was dumbfounded.

After a while, someone spoke, "This is too unbelievable, almost all the envoys of my Chu State and his party were wiped out, and the most important thing is that the emperor and Lord Xie were martyred like this?"

"Liang Zhou is close to the Jin State, the Jin State has been provoking the Chu State, and the two of them have traces of the past, could it be that they want to warn the Chu State like they warned the Qi State. "

"When something happened, there were still people who laughed at them, but I didn't expect that the emperor of my Chu State, they also dared to move, how could it be reasonable. "

Everyone, you have a mouth, I have a mouth, and I dare not look at my sister's face.

It stands to reason that her brother and friend were unfortunately killed, and she should have a little collapse, but she didn't say anything, didn't cry or make trouble, and looked a little scary.

However, Xie Yun seems to be a little depressed, his younger brother was still high-spirited earlier, and now that the news of his death has come, how many people can accept it.

Sister Yan closed her eyes, not wanting to listen to their discussion, although the news came from her own people, but it could not be assumed that they died like this.

As long as the bodies are not found, then they may still be alive, and now is not the time to despair.

I don't know how long I've been thinking about it.

Sister Yancai said in a dumb voice, "You don't need to discuss it, the trip to the grassland, go to this seat." "

"No, Emperor, something so big just happened, you can't take any more risks. "

"Are you worried that I will also be forced to die? You can rest assured, my Xie Sister Yan will not die easily, no one is more suitable than me for this trip, I just want people to see the courage of my Chu State, and now we can't shrink back. "

The prince said, "There will be suitable candidates, why should the emperor take the risk himself." "

Sister Yan said, "I know, you are worried about my willfulness, but you also have to remember that I know better than any of you the duties of the emperor, no matter who is dead or alive, what needs to be done, someone must complete it, if they are really gone, this seat, the prince, and countless people of Chu still have to protect every inch of land in Chu and every people, this is what this seat and they all want." "

The courtiers looked up at her, and their faces were indifferent, as if the person who had happened had nothing to do with her, and sure enough, if a woman was ruthless, she would be more ruthless than anyone else.

The prince said, "If something happens to the emperor and his party, we will definitely seek justice from the Shang State, if they can't give us an explanation, the 800,000 troops on the border will find justice for them." "

"Who will go to the grassland?"

The prince thought about it, although she was hit so hard, but she would not make a decision in vain, since she was unconditional and believed in herself, how could she not believe her once, and said, "No one is more suitable than the emperor, this time I will definitely be prepared, and I will not let the emperor have an accident." "

Everyone didn't dare to refute at this juncture, in case they provoked the emperor, out of human considerations, the prince probably wouldn't intercede for the person who was looking for death.

Wait for things to be discussed.

Sister Yan still stayed in the palace, the prince was not at ease, walked with her, wanted to comfort but didn't know where to start, and had nothing to say all the way.

When she walked to a secluded place, Sister Yan stumbled under her feet, and Qinglan immediately supported her.

Sister Yan vomited a mouthful of blood.

The prince stepped forward quickly to support her, and at this moment he realized that she was not not grieving, but that she had no tears at the extreme, and she did not dare to show weakness in front of everyone.

Qinglan cried out anxiously, "Miss, cry out if you feel uncomfortable, don't bear to break your body." "

Sister Yan calmed down for a moment, "Xie Yan can cry, Sister Xie can also cry, but the emperor can't, just slow down." "

The prince said, "Don't worry, I will definitely find the murderer to avenge them." "
