Inside the Xishu Imperial Palace.

After reading a secret report from the Yun Kingdom, the Lord of the Shu Kingdom immediately summoned the Taishi into the palace.

Now the court is controlled by the Taishi, and all the affairs of the court and the central government have to pass through the hands of the Taishi. In order to facilitate the Taishi's handling of official business, the lord of the country even allowed the Taishi to bring the official documents back to the Taishi's mansion and even meet with other ministers.

Everyone is laughing and saying: It is said that now the Taishi Mansion has become the imperial palace, and the imperial palace has become the cold palace of the emperor's children. The ministers said that they were not sick in the early dynasty, but they were able to enter and leave the Taishi Mansion alive. The emperor didn't dare to complain, otherwise he would be beaten by the prince.

Many of the ministers who were reused during the reign of the first emperor either returned to their hometowns or died of various strange injuries and diseases. All the important official positions today are all promoted by the Taishi.

Although the lord of Xishu has always trusted the Taishi, he is not completely obedient as rumored.

Especially when he said not long ago that he wanted to replace Zhang Heng, the commander-in-chief of the front division of the palace, for the sake of his safety, he got angry and overturned the table on the spot, startling everyone including the Taishi.

Zhang Heng has been his prince's companion since he was a child, and the two are like brothers, and in his mind, no one is more suitable for the position of commander-in-chief than Zhang Heng. Even if he trusted Taishi again, he didn't dare to hand over his safety to anyone other than Zhang Heng.

In the end, Taishi did not insist on replacing Zhang Heng.

Since then, the lord of Xishu will personally inquire about the appointment and promotion of officials, and refute and put it aside.

The prince did not dare to disobey the lord of the country, so he said that he was sick and lay at home, pushed all the affairs of the court and the central government to the lord, and secretly instructed the ministers to cause some trouble to the lord.

In the end, it only lasted for less than seven days, and the lord of Xishu couldn't hold it anymore, so he went out of the palace in person and apologized to the Taishi on the grounds of visiting the patient. He also promised the Taishi that in addition to the candidates for the position of commander-in-chief of the front of the palace, the candidates for other official positions could be discussed.

So since then, the status of the Taishi in the court has been higher.

After the Taishi entered the palace, the lord of Xishu hurriedly came to him with a secret letter, and said uneasily: "

Master, look at this secret report!"

Zhang Heng, the commander-in-chief of the front division of the palace on the side, sneered, thinking that the Taishi must have read this secret letter before the lord of the country, but he just pretended not to read it.

He had long been dissatisfied with the Taishi, so he naturally said his opinion to the Taishi in front of the emperor, but the lord of the country trusted the Taishi and didn't take his words seriously.

In addition, he grew up with the lord of the country since he was a child, and he knew that the temperament and talent of the lord of the country were not qualified for the king of any country, but he was reluctantly promoted to the position of the lord of the country by the Taishi, so he had to rely on the Taishi to manage the government for him. Otherwise, with the ability of the lord of the country, the situation in Xishu will only be worse than at this time.

If it weren't for the Taishi's nepotism, collusion with friends, and the thought of moving his palace commander-in-chief to make him a position, otherwise he would not have such a deep prejudice against the Taishi.

Now seeing that various important official positions in the court and the central government have been held by the Taishi one after another, Zhang Heng is very uneasy in his heart, for fear that one day the court will only obey the orders of the Taishi, and the lord of the country will become his puppet.

After reading the secret report, the Taishi handed the secret report to the eunuch, and then frowned and fell into deep thought.

The news in this secret report was obtained from a member of the Yun State Secret Pavilion who was bribed, saying that Nangong Yulin, the sister of the lord of the country, was not captured by the Yun State Secret Pavilion at the beginning, and the rumors that Zhou Cheng, the emperor of the Yun Kingdom, wanted to marry Nangong Yulin were even more nonsense.

"Teacher, the imperial sister didn't fall into the hands of the people of Yun Kingdom, so where did she go!" said the Lord of Xishu Kingdom anxiously.

"Don't be anxious!" said the Taishi. Just as Zhang Heng thought, he already knew about it before the secret report entered the palace.

In fact, this news was deliberately revealed to the lord of Xishu in the name of the secret report.

As for the source of his news, it is from Baimi Mountain Villa.

"Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, if this secret news is true, the princess has not fallen into the hands of the people of Yunguo. If she returns to Xishu, she will definitely try her best to rescue the traitor Zhao Youchuan and his disciples, according to the minister's opinion, why not use it as bait to lure the snake out of the hole?" said the Taishi.

The lord of the country suddenly stopped, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Teacher, speak in detail and clearly." ”

"Order to behead Zhao Youchuan and his disciples!"

Hearing this, Zhang Heng's eyes lit up, and he said, "Your Majesty, by all means, if the news in this secret report is false, it was Yun Guo who deliberately let the members of the secret pavilion be bribed by us and send us false news?"

"So what!" Taishi responded, "That traitor Zhao Youchuan and the others should have died! If it wasn't for forcing the princess to marry into Northern Liao, they would have kept their lives." But now that the princess has fled, what are we doing with the lives of those rebels who have ruined our marriage with Beiliao?"

"But once this happens, then there will be no way to coerce the princess from now on!"

"What are you afraid of her doing?" Taishi said disapprerovingly, "Keeping the lives of Zhao Youchuan and those people from the Yin Yang Sect is the biggest threat to us." Your Majesty, give an order to get rid of these traitors!"

The lord of Xishu frowned and fell into a dilemma.

Although he was incompetent, he could see the situation clearly. Although the affairs of the DPRK and China are now controlled by the Taishi, the commanders and generals of the 100,000 armies of the Western Shu Road may not obey him or the Taishi.

In particular, Gao Zhan, the Feiyun general in charge of the 120,000 army in the southwest, is the uncle of his younger brother Nangong Changji. If it weren't for Nangong Changji as a threat, maybe Gao Zhan would have rebelled in the southwest long ago.

In addition, General Changchuan in the northwest of Western Shu, whose son was a disciple of the Yin-Yang Sect, is said to have a close relationship with Zhao Youchuan. I've been standing still, just waiting for the plane.

"Your Majesty, without further ado!" the Taishi said earnestly.

At this time, Zhang Heng also knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, don't do it!"

Facing Taishi and Zhang Heng, the lord of Xishu was in a dilemma, and then scratched his head with both hands and said, "You two, don't be embarrassed by me anymore, and let me think about it again." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is sad!" Taishi also knelt on the ground at this time, "I beg Your Majesty to abolish the official position of the minister, and let the minister return to his hometown!"

"Teacher, are you threatening me?" the Lord of Xishu asked.

Zhang Heng was secretly happy, thinking that the lord of the country had finally seen through the true face of the Taishi and was no longer at the mercy of his deception.

However, then the lord of Xishu said: "Teacher, but I rely on it!"

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Heng was dumbfounded, very disappointed.

"Shut up!" the Lord of Xishu roared at Zhang Heng, "Your duty is to protect me, and you don't need to worry about the rest." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Heng's face was as sad as he was.

"Teacher, get up quickly," the lord of Xishu hurriedly stepped forward to help the Taishi up, "I listen to you!"
