On the Jinluan Palace, there was a white-clothed young man standing as straight as a sword, with a thin layer of anger on his peerless face, and beside him, Yin Shenglin, Wang Yuan, and Thunder knelt side by side, and he was as proud as a god, his knees were not bent for half a minute, and his spine was as straight as a pine and cypress.

"Bold Xia Xuehan, why don't you worship when you see you!Do you want to rebel?" Looking at Xia Lang's annoyed and angry look, Xu Ci next to him couldn't see the emperor's thoughts, and reprimanded sharply.

"The first emperor said that Xia Xuehan, the king of Langya, entered the upper hall of the court in his lifetime, praised and worshipped without a name, did not participate in the king in the upper hall, and did not resign from the lower hall. Xia Xuehan raised his sword eyebrows lightly and said coldly. 20,000 hot-blooded men in the Xuezi Battalion died on the battlefield, Xia Lang ignored it and didn't say anything, and tried to use it as an excuse to deal with himself, did he ever think that behind the 20,000 lives they still needed to support the family.

"Presumptuous, now that His Majesty the wise and martial Emperor Jialan is in power, you rely on the first emperor to be powerful, what is your intention?" Xu Ci reprimanded, this matter can be big or small, if Xia Xuehan does not handle it properly, he will inevitably be charged with rebellion.

Xia Xuehan didn't get angry, just sneered, and said lightly: "In this way, Gonggong Xu is the first emperor's chamberlain, and who gave you the power to make a eunuch qualified to shout in the Jinluan Palace!"

"You ......" Xu Ci was speechless for a while, and when it came to talking, he finally lost Xia Xuehan.

"His Majesty Emperor Jialan governs the country with filial piety, do you want to force the emperor to change the edict of the first emperor when the bones of the first emperor are not cold?" Xia Xuehan said lukewarmly.

As soon as the ministers heard this, they were silent, and even Xia Lang frowned, wanting Xia Xuehan to bow his head and bow to him, not wanting to be defeated by him. If he insisted on asking Xia Xuehan to kneel, he wouldn't have no choice, but wouldn't this be equivalent to showing the world that his filial piety and virtuous rule of the country was just in vain?

"Where did Xianqing say that, since it is the last order of the first emperor, we should obey it!" Xia Lang's bitter face finally squeezed out a smile, but after a pause, he said, "It's just that this expedition, Aiqing is the vanguard, and this action makes me not very satisfied!"

Finally started to get to the point, Xia Xuehan secretly thought in her heart, pretending not to understand, and asked: "Your Majesty's words, forgive Weichen for being foolish, I can't understand, and please ask Your Majesty to open the golden mouth to solve the minister's doubts!"

Do you think you can hide by pretending to be crazy and stupid, there are a hundred ways to get rid of you today, Xia Lang sneered, but there was still a sad look on his face. With a long sigh, he said: "You led the troops to be the vanguard, and I gave you infinite trust, but you marched slowly, and you were cowardly, and finally sent troops to attack Liao, not only did you not get half of the city, but you lost tens of thousands of troops, and finally faced the encirclement and suppression of Yun Yifan's tens of thousands of troops but left safely." Even though I believe that Aiqing is loyal, it is inevitable that there will be some complaints from the ministers. ”

Xia Lang squinted at Xia Xuehan's calm face, and felt a burst of disdain in his heart, seeing how long you can be arrogant. He paused deliberately, seeing that none of the ministers at the station dared to speak out to defend Xia Xuehan, he couldn't help frowning, and said: "Because of the above-mentioned unusual phenomena, rumors are now spreading that King Langya colluded with the Liao Kingdom and wanted to cause trouble to my Great Xia River and Mountain. When I heard this, how could I believe it, but the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill, if I ignore King Langya, but it is difficult to block the mouth of the world, what do you say, King Langya?"

"Brother Huang, forgive the courage of the ministers, King Langya's expedition this time, before occupying the sky, did not reach the geographical advantage, even the people only have two or three points, how to resist the menacing Yun Yifan, besides, besides, the pro-army of the Xuezi Battalion brought by King Langya was almost wiped out......" The straightforward Xia Yan heard this, and regardless of whether it would anger Xia Lang, he immediately walked out of the class to play.

Hearing Xia Yan's words, the expressions of the people sitting on the nine dragon chairs did not change much, but Xia Xuehan couldn't help frowning, and secretly scolded Xia Yan in his heart for being straightforward and quick-hearted, and his kindness hurt himself. In today's situation, if someone dares to stand on the side of Xia Xuehan, even if he says a word for him, he will be regarded as a fellow party by Xia Xuehan and will be killed!

Xia Lang thought for a long time, nodded, looked very embarrassed on his face, and said: "Although the words of the emperor's brother are not unreasonable, but it is difficult for the people to be angry! However, the rebellious people who did not know the truth were unfavorable to the king of Langya, and I sent 30,000 Shence troops to guard the palace, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Does King Langya have any objections to my approach? If you have any doubts, but it doesn't hurt to say it, so are the ministers, if you have any good proposals, please say it, and everyone will refer to it together!"

"My emperor is sage, a lot of magnanimity, and the ministers have no objections!" said hundreds of ministers in unison.

Xia Lang nodded, his face was a little stunned, and asked, "King Langya, since this is the case, I will wronged you, are you willing!"

"Since the emperor's holy mouth is broken, how dare Xue Han disobey!" Xia Xuehan's face did not show a look of loss or even resentment from beginning to end, and he responded lightly.

Xia Yan also wanted to say something to save Xia Xuehan, but after taking a deep breath, he still stood up and said, "Brother Huang, this ......"

When the Manchu Dynasty was trembling, only that person dared to stand up, and when everyone in the world was in danger, he was the only one who dared to speak up. So much so that in the future, there will be a young general in white armor and silver robes who dares to fight alone in the army of millions to rescue him, there is a handsome young man in white who is willing to give the world to him for his words, and there is a peerless celestial who has lost the most important thing in his life in order to repay today's kindness......

"Brother Huang, don't you know that you have no jokes, this has already been said, how can it be easily changed!" Xia Lang frowned, how could the good situation be wasted because of his words.

"Thank you King Yong for your help, but since the emperor has spared Xuehan's life outside the law, it is a great grace! There is no need to do anything meaningless!" Xia Xue laughed coldly, turned around and walked out of the main hall, no one in the hall dared to stop him, even Xia Lang just looked at him hatefully, but did not say anything.

On the twenty-sixth day of the first year of the lunar month, it was a happy and joyful day for the family, and Xia Lang issued an edict to the world, and Xia Xuehan, the king of Langya, was slack in military affairs and suspected of fornicating with the enemy, and from now on, he shall not go out of the palace for half a step, otherwise he will be punished for treason!

As soon as this decree was issued, the world shook, and there were those who were angry, those who were surprised, and those who gloated...... In this year, Xia Xuehan can be said to have become the most talked about person in the world, the battle of Hanshan Temple pushed him to the forefront, and the whole world thought that he had stolen the eight-tone treasure box; just clarified in Shaolin Temple, the rivers and lakes were rumored that he was the illegitimate son of Emperor Chongming, and so far Emperor Chongming has died, and this matter is no longer conclusive; people are about to forget these things, but now the saint has put forward that he has the suspicion of the whole country.

In the palace of Langya Wang, unlike other places in Chang'an City immersed in the prosperity of smoke and willows, nor like other places with lights, it is quieter than any populated place in the world, so quiet that you can hear people's heartbeats clearly.

In Xue Ning Yazhai, Xia Xuehan was contemplating a game of chess, how many heroes have been trapped in black and white since ancient times. What is between vertical and horizontal, black and white, no one has been able to see through it for thousands of years!

"Childe, the plum blossoms in the princess's palace are blooming, and she told her maid to pick some to add some life to Xue Ning Yazhai!" Zi Mo said as he inserted a bouquet of pink plum blossoms into a gilded vase.

Still far away, Xia Xuehan smelled a faint fragrance circulating in the air, which really made this silent Xue Ning Yazhai have some other flavors.

"'Plants and trees have hearts, why ask beauties to fold?' You shouldn't break it, it won't be long before it withers, and the fragrance is not as long as it is on the branches!"

"Childe, the servant knows it's wrong!" Zi Mo's ethereal eyes were instantly covered with a layer of mist, and he knelt down towards Xia Xuehan and said aggrievedly.

"Get up, I don't mean to blame you, I just think it's a pity!" Xia Xuehan raised his hand and let Zi Mo stand up, looking at the girl in front of him with a peach blossom face, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and his thoughts drifted to the distant side. Is the girl in white still waiting?

The return date is not due, but this time I can't tell what year and month it will be!

"Childe, is there something on the servant's face?" Zi Mo's bright face had turned crimson at some point, and he asked timidly by covering his cheeks with his hands.

"Oh, no...... It's okay......" After she said this, she stared at Zi Mo for a long time, and hurriedly moved her eyes away, but the game of chess was temporarily forgotten by him.

Suddenly, three black shadows floated in from the window like ghosts, and the strong wind from the corners of the clothes gently lifted the veil, and the three black-clothed people knelt in front of Xia Xuehan, bowing their heads and saying: "The emperor has cut the title of King Yong on the charge of colluding with thieves and intending to gather people to rebel, and now he is sent to Dali Temple to await trial!"

Xia Xuehan played with a white chess piece in his hand, his eyes returned to the chessboard, I don't know if it was because of the chess game or the matter told by the man in black, he frowned slightly. After a long time, he said, "Is there any movement in the north?"

"After the Marshal of the Liao State returned to China, he closed himself in the mansion and refused to see guests, and he didn't find any unusual movements!" replied the man in black respectfully.

Xia Xuehan nodded, and finally put down the chess pieces in his hand, his frowning brows also stretched a little, and he said to himself: "Although this big dragon has its teeth and claws, and it has arbitrarily decided half of the rivers and mountains, as long as this move is right, it will not be able to move!"

"Childe......" Zi Mo called softly.

Xia Xuehan shook his head and muttered: "To become a king who reigns over the world and be a hero in troubled times, you must either have the strength to make everyone under your command unable to resist, or give your subordinates enough favors to repay with their lives." But he didn't have any!" he sighed, his voice filled with endless lament.

"Has Childe decided?" Zi Mo bit his lip and asked.

"He can't become a hero in troubled times, but he can become a diligent and loving king, Xiaoxiong, let me do it!" He seemed to have made a difficult decision, slapped his hand on the chessboard, and the black and white chess pieces flew up together, and the white index finger moved quickly in the air, so fast that only a white shadow could be seen. The pieces fell into the left and right pieces with the wave of his fingers, and the black and white pieces fell to their respective chessboards, and none of them fell wrong.

"After all, this world is not a chess game, and people are not chess pieces, so where can we clearly distinguish between black and white!" Xia Xuehan stretched out his hand to the letter on the table that had already been sealed, and said lightly: "Do what the letter says." Maybe it won't be long before that day changes......"

He threw the letter at the three men in black, and one of them raised his hand to catch it steadily, answered with a hand, and disappeared here like a ghost.

Xia Xuehan got up and walked to the window, sniffing the faint fragrance of plum blossoms in the air, but his eyes turned to the north, looking at the sky that can never be seen through, and muttered: "I'm sorry, I can't quit this game, once I quit, they will be two kings on the same day, they will definitely be endless, and the people of the world will suffer." If I am here, it will become a three-legged situation, check and balance each other, and it can be exchanged for a few years of peace. Treat me without worry, let you go all over the world, wait for me...... Don't wait any longer......"

The cold wind blew and blew to the far north, hoping to blow his words to her ears and her heart. He knew that she would definitely wait, even if it was three lives and seven lives, even if it was a vicissitude.

But what qualifications does he have to make her pay so much, and he doesn't care about it, I'm afraid that his face will turn into sand......
