When Heihu and the others borrowed the camp of the Praetorian Guards and took the ladies of the Wang family, Xuanyuan Qingyun sat motionless on the dragon chair in the palace in the palace, with a sad face.

In Xuanyuan Qingyun's plan, he took advantage of the mentality of those small families who wanted to be on top, and recruited some small families to suppress those big families together.

As a result, Xuanyuan Qingyun couldn't have imagined that the empire's conscription order had just been issued, and he didn't even have a chance to react, so all the families of the empire united to fight against the royal family, and even eradicated all the city lord's mansions arranged by the royal family in various cities, causing the royal family to suffer heavy losses.

"Now that all the families have completely isolated the empire, resulting in a shortage of goods in the imperial capital, prices have risen, and many civilians in the imperial capital have fled the imperial capital with their families, if we don't find a way to get supplies, even if we don't start a war with the family alliance, our royal family will not defeat itself. ”

"Now what do you say?" After a long time, Xuanyuan Qingyun saw that the ministers of the empire were silent one by one, his face became very ugly, and he asked the ministers present in an extremely stern tone.

Although these ministers present are all officials of the empire, their families are more or less related to those families, even if the imperial family is really overthrown, most of them do not have to worry about their families falling because of the overthrow of the royal family.

"These damn families, if it weren't for the hundreds of years of operation of our royal family, how could they have such a stable life now, now we are just recruiting some disciples from their family. went to the front to share the country's worries, and as a result, they united against our empire. It's just a bunch of rebellious bastards. ”

"Father, those rebellious bastards, this time they are obviously trying to force our royal family to death. If we compromise with them due to the shortage of supplies, we may really become puppets in the future, so this time we will fight them to the end. ”

"I don't think we can get help from within the empire, we can ask for help from other empires, some time ago, the envoy of the Hidden Dragon Empire came to our imperial capital, didn't you ask me to be in charge of receiving him? ”

"I think this is an opportunity for our empire, if we can ally with the Hidden Dragon Empire, we will be able to get assistance from the Hidden Dragon Empire, and it will naturally be easy for us to deal with these families at that time. Prince Xuanyuan Jinkang saw that the ministers were silent. Immediately stood out of the queue and said what he thought.

The Hidden Dragon Empire is an old empire that is several times stronger than the Shenwu Empire, if they can get the assistance of the Hidden Dragon Empire, their Shenwu Empire's current difficulties in material shortage can not only be solved, but even with the help of the Hidden Dragon Empire, these families can be eliminated, and the royal family can become the real masters of the empire.

Of course, as the ruler of the Shenwu Empire, Xuanyuan Qingyun knew it very well. The so-called alliance proposed by the Hidden Dragon Empire Empire is actually to make the Shenwu Empire a vassal state of the Hidden Dragon Empire, if it was in the past, Xuanyuan Qingyun would definitely be unwilling. I am worried that it is no longer what it used to be, and suddenly if I want to fight against the family alliance and truly grasp the power of the Shenwu Empire. The only way is to ally with the Hidden Dragon Empire.

After making a decision, Xuanyuan Qingyun asked Xuanyuan Jinkang with a stern face: "Emperor! What are the demands of the emissaries of the Hidden Dragon Empire?"

When Xuanyuan Jinkang said this, his mood was actually in a state of apprehension all the time. Deeply afraid that Xuanyuan Qingyun would have an opinion on his construction, it was not until now that he saw Xuanyuan Qingyun asking him about his conditions, he put his mind at ease, and hurriedly and respectfully reported: "Father, the conditions of the Qianlong Empire are very simple, the crown prince of the Qianlong Empire lacks a noble concubine, we can arrange a princess to marry the Qianlong Empire." ”

"Another condition is that we need to send a prince to the Hidden Dragon Empire to be responsible for the contact and coordination between our two countries, and the Hidden Dragon Empire, as an ally of our empire, will support us with a large amount of living materials, and send twenty Spirit King stage powerhouses to help us consolidate our power and recapture the towns occupied by Fuso. ”

When Xuanyuan Qingyun heard the conditions introduced by Xuanyuan Jinkang, he was finally moved, as the emperor of the empire, his princes and princesses were as many as dozens, although the princes and princesses sent to the Qianlong Empire were destined to be victims, but sacrificing a prince and a princess in exchange for the stable power of the empire was undoubtedly more beneficial than disadvantageous.

At this time, Xuanyuan Qingyun said with a stern face: "If the empire can get the assistance of the Hidden Dragon Empire, we will not only be able to survive this crisis, but also take this opportunity to destroy these families and consolidate the power of the empire.

As soon as Xuanyuan Qingyun's words fell, the ministers present immediately talked about it, and Xuanyuan Jinkang, who was standing at the front of the queue, glanced at a minister opposite, and the minister immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty! ”

"At present, the princess of our empire, the eldest princess has reached the age of trial marriage, coupled with the identity of the eldest princess, marrying the eldest princess to the prince of the Qianlong Empire as a noblewoman is equivalent to us indirectly expressing our stance to the Hidden Dragon Empire, and we may be able to get more help from the Hidden Dragon Empire. ”

"As for why the third prince is also a suitable candidate, first of all, he is the eldest princess is a compatriot, he and the eldest princess are in the Qianlong Empire together, and they can also take care of each other, and more importantly, this is more conducive to the stability of our royal family. ”

The minister who stood up and mentioned yì was the Zuo Prime Minister of the Empire, the prince's own uncle, and his intentions did not need to be guessed, Xuanyuan Qingyun could also understand, he thought about it carefully for a while, and finally nodded in agreement: "Okay! This matter is accurate, Emperor! Since the envoy from the Hidden Dragon Empire was received by you from the beginning, then this matter will be discussed by you and the envoy of the Hidden Dragon Empire." ”

The news that the Shenwu Empire was preparing to form an alliance with the Hidden Dragon Empire soon spread throughout the entire imperial capital, causing the high-level members of the family alliance to have a sense of crisis that they had never felt before.

At present, with the loss of the family alliance, it is completely easy to overthrow the royal family, but they did not do it, because they know that with the Xuanyuan family in front of them, their families can develop with peace of mind, and it is precisely for this reason that they will use this means of isolating the royal family to force the royal family to compromise, so that the royal family can really become a puppet under their control.

As a result, just when the various families thought that the royal family was about to compromise with them, the royal family actually made plans to form an alliance with the Hidden Dragon Empire, which was absolutely not allowed by all families, because they knew very well that once the Hidden Dragon Empire interfered in the internal affairs of the Shenwu Empire, there was only one result waiting for them, and that was to be wiped out.

In order to avoid the extermination of their family, the high-ranking members of the major families decided to launch an attack on the royal family of the Shenwu Empire after some deliberation.

When the big family of the imperial capital gathered together to discuss preparing to attack the royal family, in the eldest princess's mansion, when Xuanyuan Zixuan learned that the empire was ready to use her marriage in exchange for the remnants of the royal family, she angrily smashed the things in the palace to the ground, and said to herself angrily: "Father, when Hanqi asked me to be the queen of the empire, I was still a little hesitant, after all, I don't want to see a situation of cannibalism, now since you are unkind, don't blame your daughter for being unjust." ”

As he spoke, Xuanyuan Zixuan took out a communication jade slip from the storage bag, used a secret method to engrave his divine sense into the communication jade slip, and then shouted loudly: "Come on! Send this thing to Deqing Restaurant for me." ”

At the same time, Wu Hanqi was also the first to learn that the imperial capital was preparing to marry the Hidden Dragon Empire to resist the family's alliance at the cost of becoming a subsidiary country of the Hidden Dragon Empire.

However, the news that the object of the marriage was the eldest princess of the empire, Xuanyuan Zixuan, made Wu Hanqi very unhappy, he knew very well that the prince's purpose was to use this method to completely exclude the three princes from the battle for the throne.

"Childe, the eldest princess sent you a communication jade slip. Just as Wu Hanqi was sitting in the living room pondering his plan to deal with the royal family, Black Tiger walked in from outside, holding a communication jade slip in his hand, and reported to Wu Hanqi respectfully.

When Wu Hanqi heard the words of the black tiger, he recovered from his contemplation, put the jade slip on his forehead, and immediately came from the communication jade slip: "Wu Hanqi, if you don't want me to marry the woman of the Qianlong Empire and become the prince of the Qianlong Empire, then rush to the imperial capital for me immediately!"

Wu Hanqi put the jade slip on the table beside him, and asked the black tiger with a smile: "Black Tiger! The reason why those families have not made a move on the royal family is that they want to slowly consume the royal family and force the royal family to bow to them, and now if the royal family is in alliance with the Hidden Dragon Empire, it means that the purpose of these families will be completely aborted, and they will face the danger of being wiped out, I believe that these families will definitely not be indifferent, you will arrange someone for me to find out the plan of the family power." ”

Since the news came out that the royal family was going to form an alliance with the Hidden Dragon Empire, the high-ranking members of those families in the imperial capital got together for two days to talk secretly, and I estimate that they will soon attack the royal family. ”

Wu Hanqi heard the report of the black tiger, pondered for a while, and asked the black tiger: "Black tiger! (To be continued......)
