Inside the East Palace.

Ling Fuxi came with Xiao Rui.

He wanted to leave the palace with Taishi Li Chuntian, but he was rotten by the guards, and when he learned that Ye Xuan wanted to see him, an ominous premonition instantly struck.

On the top of the Golden Palace, Li Chuntian killed Qian Feng in anger, because he was afraid that he would jump off the wall in a hurry and reveal the matter between them.

Now that Ye Xuan summoned him alone, no matter what he said in the East Palace, Li Chuntian would not believe him.

When he came to the East Palace, Li Chuntian didn't forget to remind him to be cautious in his words and deeds, and not to forget the family members in the mansion, which was Chi Guoguo's threatening him.

Inside the main hall.

Ling Fuxi bowed, "Your Highness, Lord Xiao is here." ”

Ye Xuan's gaze fell on Xiao Rui, "Okay, you step down!" ”

Ling Fuxi withdrew from the main hall, and for a while there were only two people, Ye Xuan and Xiao Rui, who said in a deep voice: "I don't know what His Highness is looking for Weichen to do." ”

Ye Xuan raised his hand slightly, motioning for Xiao Rui to sit down, "Lone is looking for Lord Xiao to come, just to talk about conscription, the war situation in the north is tight, the number of the imperial army has dropped sharply, and it is necessary to recruit new soldiers to strengthen the three armies." ”

As soon as Xiao Rui heard that Ye Xuan was going to discuss the recruitment of new soldiers, his hanging heart instantly relaxed, "Your Highness, the front line has been defeated one after another, and it is not easy to recruit troops right now." ”

"And recruit training consumes manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and it is impossible to participate in the war in a short time."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "Your Highness, Weichen is old, and he is ready to resign, and he has returned to his hometown. ”

It's really a high opinion.

Ji Ye is a centenarian, and he is angry and armor is out of evidence.

In the year of Xiao Rui's sixtieth year, he was ready to resign.

Ye Xuan smiled: "Since Lord Xiao is about to resign, then let's talk about something else." ”

Xiao Rui said: "I don't know what His Highness wants to talk about." ”

Ye Xuan said: "Let's talk about Qianfeng." ”

Xiao Rui chuckled in his heart, "Your Highness, Lord Qian is dead, what is there to talk about." ”

Ye Xuan slowly stood up and walked towards Xiao Rui, "Why should Lord Xiao pretend to be confused, if you can know that Qian Feng is full of private pockets, don't you know what the Taishi and you are secretly doing?" ”

Xiao Rui's figure trembled slightly, and saw Ye Xuan's gaze fall on him, that sharp gaze could penetrate people, and he didn't seem to have any privacy in front of him.

Ye Xuan said again: "Lord Xiao, the reason why Lone didn't smelt the blame on you in the Golden Palace is to give you a chance, and Lone also clearly knows that you are just their pawn, and Taishi is the culprit." ”

"On the Golden Palace, the Taishi killed Qian Feng in anger, you saw it with your own eyes, it was quite ferocious. You said, if Lone told the Taishi that you betrayed him, what would the result be? ”

Xiao Rui was terrified, "Your Highness, I didn't say anything." ”

Ye Xuan stepped forward and patted Xiao Rui on the shoulder, "Lord Xiao didn't say anything, but from the moment you step into the East Palace, the Grand Master won't trust you." ”

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "Now the opportunity is in front of you, and it is up to you whether you can seize it or not. ”

Xiao Rui threw himself on his knees, "Your Highness, some of them were forced by the Taishi to do it, if we don't follow the Taishi's orders, he will kill our family." ”

"Lord Shangshuhong of the Ministry of War just didn't want to listen to the Taishi, and he was poisoned and bedridden."

Ye Xuan nodded, "These orphans know, say something that orphans don't know." ”

Does he really know?

He knows a hammer.

He never tires of cheating, and he has been cheating from the beginning.

After the Qian Feng East Window incident, Ye Xuan said that he had everyone's incriminating evidence, and Xiao Rui had no reason not to believe it.

Cold sweat overflowed from Xiao Rui's forehead, and he knew in his heart that Li Chuntian would do something to his family, but if he didn't explain honestly, he wouldn't even be able to leave the palace, "Your Highness, Taishi, Zuo Xiang, and Taifu are actually the three major tumors of the empire, and Your Majesty has always known that they are endangering the empire." ”

"Three years ago, in the Battle of Hantianguan, the entire army of the Xia Kingdom was annihilated and lost to the Tianyu Empire, not because Queen Yu leaked military secrets, but because the Taishi secretly sent someone to spread the news."

"As far as Wei Chen knows, Taishi, Zuo Xiang, and Taifu all have the support of mysterious forces behind them, and they are crazy about collecting money through their hands, Qian Feng is just the tip of the iceberg, and their protégés are all over the entire Great Xia."

Ye Xuan nodded, "Go on." ”

Xiao Rui suddenly thought of something, "Your Highness, Wei Chen once heard the Taishi mention that the forces behind the Zuo Prime Minister are hiding in Chang'an Academy, and he also said that in the future, the world will be completely unified, and there will be no more situations where countries will compete with each other." ”

"Your Highness, Weichen knows so much, and please ask Your Highness to spare Weichen's life and save Weichen's family."

Ye Xuan said: "The Taishi has threatened you with his family. ”

Xiao Rui nodded, "As His Highness said, Weichen is only the smallest chess piece in their hands, so there are not many cores that can be touched. ”

Ye Xuan raised his hand slightly and motioned for Xiao Rui to get up, "Lord Xiao, you didn't say anything just now, you were just discussing conscription with Gu, do you understand what Gu means?" ”

Xiao Rui shook his head, "Weichen is stupid. ”

Ye Xuan said: "If you want your family to be safe and sound, you have to let the master believe in you, in the future, you will be Lone's eyeliner, Lone will ensure your safety, these are your opportunities to make meritorious contributions." ”

Xiao Rui: "............"

He knew that he couldn't be left alone no matter what, and now that he was a pawn of the prince, the rest of his life was like walking on thin ice, which was too exciting.

Ye Xuan waved his hand, "Lord Xiao, stand down, if you have something, you will send someone to find you." ”

Xiao Rui was in the East Palace, and the thoughts in his mind were flying forward, thinking about how to make Li Chuntian believe him, it was really difficult.

Ye Xuan looked outside the hall, "Commander Ling, inform Cao Zhengchun to enter the palace." ”

Ling Fuxi bowed outside the hall, holding the broadsword at his waist, and walked away quickly.

Then.

Gao Ying appeared outside the hall, "Your Highness, the Xuanyuan family has sent someone. ”

Xuanyuan's house?

Ye Xuan motioned for Gao Ying to enter the hall, "What's the situation with the Xuanyuan family!" ”

Gao Ying said: "Back to Your Highness, the Xuanyuan family is one of the four major chambers of commerce in the capital, and the treasure auction house and the slave farm are their properties, as for why the head of the Xuanyuan family came, the old slave does not know." ”

Ye Xuan nodded, "Since you're here, let's see you." “

Gao Ying was just about to leave, and summoned the head of the Xuanyuan family into the hall, and behind him Ye Xuan said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law Gao, wait." ”

"Your Highness, what else is going on?"

"Father-in-law Gao, my father knows that Taifu, Taishi, and Zuo Xiang have problems, why did they let them exist until now."

"Your Highness, Taifu, Taishi, and Zuo Xiang's problems, Your Majesty knew about them three years ago, and the reason why you didn't make a move against them was because of the forces behind them, and let the three of them stay in the court, just to let them contain each other."

Gao Ying said in a deep voice.

Ye Xuan's face showed suspicion, how strong is the power behind the three of them, they can threaten an empire, it seems that things are much more tricky than he imagined, "Go, summon the Xuanyuan family into the palace." ”
