Huan Hao was the great position and immediately rewarded the meritorious ministers, and still named Gongsun Xiong as the vice president, and his henchman Zhu Bin was promoted to the position of chief envoy and the military power of the Great Protector General Conference. As for Gongsun Xiong's eldest son, Gongsun Chen, Huan Hao named him the left envoy. His authority is only under Zhu Bin and Gongsun Xiong, and he is allowed to co-counsel with the two of them.

As for Xiao Yu, Huan Hao only named him the right envoy. Although the power position is not small, Huan Hao only ordered the business and financial power in the general meeting, and did not share in political affairs and military aircraft. The chief envoy Zhu Bin was a little puzzled, after the reward, he secretly looked for Huan Hao and asked him why he did this, and Huan Hao's answer was quite reasonable.

"Xiao Yu, although he has a lot of strategies, but his heart is not ruthless enough, he can't achieve great things. Huan Hao said this, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Today, I made him take charge of the financial power of the association, which will be enough to make him worry about food and clothing in the future, although it is a little cruel to him, but in fact, he is indeed worthy of him." ”

Zhu Bin was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but nod.

"What about the Lord's brothers and sisters?"

"Although my sister has acted in a self-righteous manner and violated the lord's position, it is difficult to think that she is a woman. Besides, if I were to be the new lord, wouldn't I be judged in the council if I were to kill my own siblings at this time?"

Huan Hao said this, and Zhu Bin immediately nodded again.

"Then does the Lord mean that he is not guilty of the past to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?"

"Naturally, it doesn't work out. Huan Hao shook his head: "If she made such a big disturbance and killed someone, if she is not punished, then how can I serve the public in the future? First, I gave an explanation to the victims in the meeting, second, I spared her life and let everyone in the meeting understand that I Huan Hao is not a ruthless and unrighteous person, and third, this lifelong slavery is more painful than death, which just makes her understand what the fate of opposing me is. ”

Huan Hao said this, and he couldn't help but smile in his cold eyes.

"Yes, that's what my subordinates are going to do. Zhu Bin answered and was about to leave, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but come back and add: "The eldest princess is like this, what about the young master?"

"You're asking my little brother Huanyu?"

"Exactly. Zhu Bin nodded: "Although he is the one who competes with the lord for the throne this time, it seems that at his age, it is just a bargaining chip for Huan Hui." The young master is young and does not do anything, if he forgives it. ”

"Never. Huan Hao hurriedly shook his hand: "Although he was used, he has had a deep relationship with my sister since he was a child." Although he is young now, he will eventually grow up one day. What's more, I ordered Xiao Yu to forge the edict of succession, and as the legitimate successor chosen by his father, wouldn't he have to compete with me sooner or later? ”

"Then the Lord means ......"

"Kill!"

Huan Hao's words were resolute, and his eyes were cold.

"Well, what I said makes sense. Zhu Bin nodded: "Although this matter is indeed a bit cruel, but the lord's worries have to be considered." ”

"Hmph~ Since ancient times, which person who has achieved great things is not a ruthless person?" Huan Hao's eyes were emotionless at this time: "You must know that the country is made of white bones, and if you want to be invincible, you can only keep stepping on new bones and crawling all the way." ”

"Well, then how should this matter be handled?" Zhu Bin asked again: "Huan Hui is the mastermind, and the young master is not guilty." If the young master is clearly put to death, how can the mouths of the people in the meeting be stopped?"

"Your worries are. Huan Hao nodded: "Since it can't be done openly, then we will solve it secretly." ”

"Well, please ask the Lord to show me the specific strategy. ”

Zhu Bin said this, and Huan Hao immediately fell silent. After pondering for a moment, the gloom on his face gradually dissipated, and then he smiled.

"I know that my little brother has a habit that has been cultivated for many years, and that is the obsession with the tea ceremony. Huan Hao said: "Anyone who pays attention to the tea ceremony undoubtedly cares about three things the most, tea utensils, tea leaves and the water used to make tea. Now we can make some articles based on this, and the main focus is on the water used to make tea. ”

"Water?"

Zhu Bin frowned, still a little incomprehensible.

"Hehe, yes. It's water!" Huan Hao showed a grim smile on his face: "The water used by my third brother to make tea is only the clear water taken from Yuquan Mountain, and the subordinates in his house go to Yuquan Mountain every three days to carry water back to the house, wouldn't it be ...... if we can do some tricks and feet in the water carried by these subordinates."

"Isn't the Lord's intention to use the method of killing?"

"Hehe~" Huan Hao sneered: "I'll leave this matter to you." Remember, make sure it's clean and beautiful. ”

"The subordinates understand. ”

Zhu Bin responded and left, so he asked his son Zhu Muyu to secretly use poison in the water that Huan You was drinking. Things were done quietly, and Huan You naturally didn't notice it. A few days later, Huan Yu was poisoned by drinking poisonous spring water and was sick in bed. He was ill for several days, during which Huan Hao visited and bribed the doctor to treat Huan You, and at the same time used chronic poison as a good medicine to treat him.

After repeating this for several days, uninformed outsiders only said that Huan Hao was quite brotherly. Although they did not say anything, their hearts were full of respect. Soon after, Huan Yu died of a terminal illness and useless medicine. On the day of the funeral, Huan Hao personally wore white clothes to mourn his brother's filial piety, and everything he said during the period expressed his feelings with Huan You's brothers, and everyone who participated in the funeral wept.

said that the news spread and finally reached Xiao Yu's ears. Xiao Yu saw through his plan and couldn't help crying, during which his family was worried and asked many times, but Xiao Yu just didn't answer. After a few days, Xiao Yu became ill, and Xiao Yu was bedridden. After a month, the medicine stone was useless, and although Huan Hao visited the condition several times, he was politely rejected by the people in the Xiao family's mansion.

A few days later, Xiao Yu's condition deteriorated again, and when he was dying, he sent his two sons, Xiao Jing and Xiao Chen, to his room and told him everything.

After the two sons learned all the facts, they couldn't help but be shocked, Xiao Yu trembled, bit his fingers, and then reached out to take a piece of white silk, and wrote a "Letter of Repentance" with his own blood, and then handed it to the two sons.

"Father, this ......"

The second son couldn't help but be shocked when he read the contents of the letter.

"Alas~ you two and listen. I've just told you both about what happened. Now that I have made my plan, I regret that I should not have set it up in the first place. At first, it was just to help the Lord to repay his kindness for many years, but he didn't want to hurt the eldest princess and the young son, and now he regrets it and knows that his life will not last long. ”

Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh when he said this, and then his eyes were full of tears.

"I think I used to set up this poisonous scheme to harm people, and I was ashamed of my ancestors. Therefore, it is common sense that the sky will break my life, and it is common sense to die. However, I have been established for decades, and it is the foundation of our ancestors, and it must not be abolished because of this. Now I will pass on the "Book of Repentance" written by your two brothers and me, on the conspiracy between me and the Lord, and wait and see what happens. If you see the Lord wise and virtuous in the future, you can destroy this book, but if the Lord is mediocre and easy to kill, you two can spread this book to the public, so that the elders of the council can choose the Lord to inherit the throne. ”

After saying this, Xiao Yu couldn't say anything more, but grabbed the hands of his two sons tightly with both hands and shook them uncontrollably. His eyes were full of antiquity, and after a while, he screamed and died on the bed with a mouthful of blood.

The two sons wept bitterly and wept to the ground.
