After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1319: No Good Results from Blind Tolerance
Qingyang has been here as regent for more than half a year. Even the ministers who originally knew nothing about her now know everything they should know.

He is not only the former chief state teacher of Bega, but also the childhood sweetheart of the Demon Emperor!

To a certain extent, her words and actions can indeed represent the will of the Demon Emperor.

One of the ministers said: "The Situ allied forces have invaded the Pixia territory. The war is not going well and progress is very slow. It would be okay to help Pixia from the side at this time."

King Yao hummed and brought the topic back to the original government affairs.

He didn't want to talk about it, and the ministers didn't mention Qingyang anymore.

The court meeting ended, and all the ministers withdrew, only Lord You was left behind.

After everyone else had left, Lord You said bluntly, "Your Majesty, we can't just send out troops!"

"The Qingyang Regent believes that Situ Yu has a strong will for revenge and is a talented general. His ability has been demonstrated after the fall of Gaopu. The Pixia people's current advantage will not last long, and they will eventually be defeated by the allied forces. By then, even if we intervene, it will be difficult to reverse the situation, and the situation will be even more unfavorable." King Yao asked him, "After all, the Qingyang Regent has nearly 200 years of experience. I heard that she was also a soldier in her early years and has a keen eye. You Rongzhi, what do you think?"

You Rongzhi thought for a moment before saying, "If our army takes action personally, the disadvantages will outweigh the advantages. It is better to provide assistance from the side."

Everyone knows that Yao State supports Pisha, but this fig leaf should not be removed casually.

"What if Bisha loses?"

"If we don't intervene, Pisha will be defeated, what does it have to do with Yao? These small countries around us are already dying every day; if we intervene and Pisha is still defeated, our country will lose face!" You Rongzhi said frankly, "In order to ensure that Pisha is not defeated, Yao can only be dragged into the quagmire and sink deeper and deeper."

"More than one hundred and sixty years ago, our country sent too many troops abroad, which led to the siege by nine armies. If Luodian and Ying tribes had not turned against us in the battle of Lutai Mountain, and Luo Shengjia had not appeared later, taking away a lot of pressure and hatred, it is hard to say whether the country can continue to this day. The lessons of more than a hundred years ago are still there. Now the small countries around us are even more unfriendly to us. My king must not take it lightly!" At this point, You Rongzhi sneered, "Bejia sent a regent here to drag us into the mud and not allow us to be immune. No matter how experienced the Qingyang Regent is, he still serves her demon emperor!"

King Yao nodded and let out a long "hmm".

How could he not know what his trusted ministers said?

You Rong lowered his voice subconsciously: "I just got some information."

"Go ahead."

"A few days ago, the Bisha people sent eight carts of gifts to Youhu Cottage. The Bisha envoy also went in and stayed for an hour before coming out."

This is Yao Country. They can't get close to Qingyang, but they can monitor her residence.

"Oh, they went to send gifts to Qingyang." Qingyang, the regent, was temporarily living in Youhu Cottage during this period. King Yao knew very well, "They are all smart people. They know who can speak and get things done."

At this moment, why did Pixia bribe Qingyang Regent with a large sum of money? Wasn't it because he hoped that Yao would increase its aid or even kill him directly?
Thinking of Qingyang's attempt to force the emperor to abdicate, King Yao laughed sarcastically, "She does things for money, and Qingyang is very trustworthy. Haha, she's using my reputation and the safety of Yao country to talk about her own credibility!"

He let out a long breath. "In the past, Qin'er wrote to me in Lingxu City, saying that the envoys sent by Beijia were rude to the rulers of the small countries under their rule, and even scolded them in public. Thirteen years ago, the ruler of You couldn't stand the insults, and thought that the two countries were far apart, so he killed the envoy in public. As a result, Beijia sent troops 500 miles to destroy You, and also escorted the King of You back to his country and locked him in a cowshed for three years until he died of depression."

"Qin'er" is his eldest son who was beheaded in Lingxu City.

Compared to this, Qingyang was quite polite to King Yao. You Rongzhi didn't know what he meant, so he didn't know how to respond.

"It's hard to predict what's going on in this world. Qin'er is gone, but the culprit Qingyang has come to my place to supervise the country." King Yao chuckled twice, "Bejia is still the same Beijia, always so vicious."

Sending the eldest son to Lingxu City is both the tradition of Yao Kingdom and the requirement of Beijia. King Yao never expected that he would receive bad news about his eldest son!
The eldest son is different from other sons in that he is trained as the heir. How much effort did this take?

The culprit behind the elixir of immortality is Qingyang, who once dominated the Lingxu City with one hand!

His eldest son was merely included in the public list of the elixir of life case.

God knows how long the list is, and how many names of the rich and powerful are on it! What is announced to the public are just a few dozen victims who have been pushed out.

His eldest son was one of the victims chosen by Qingyang and the Demon Emperor!

Now, Qingyang is still alive and well, and can even come to trouble his victim, but his son died unclearly in Lingxu City!
Where is the law of heaven?

He then asked You Rongzhi: "Qingyang has only been here for half a year, and some court officials are already flattering him, right?"

You Rongzhi hesitated: "This..."

"Don't hide it for them. I know someone is looking for the elixir of immortality from Qingyang. You must have heard about this, right?"

You Rongzhi immediately said, "Yes, there are a few."

"They are not satisfied with being able to live out their days in Yao Country, and they want to live dozens more years!" When saying this, King Yao forgot that he had also taken the immortality elixir sent back by his eldest son. "Is Qingyang still doing this business? Did they buy it?"

"I heard someone bought it. I don't know the exact quantity."

Yao Wang thought: "As soon as Qingyang arrived, she wanted to wipe out the surrounding monsters. Could it be related to her refining the elixir of immortality?"

After the case of Bega's elixir of life was exposed, he also knew that one of the raw materials for refining it was the pulp beads extracted from the essence and blood of monsters.

"This old woman was convicted of selling the elixir of life in Bega, but now she has come to me to resume her old business!"

You Rongzhi organized his words and said slowly: "Bejia boasts of his divine power, and no one dares to provoke him. The end of Youguo is indeed miserable. But, Your Majesty——"

He said word by word: "We are not Youguo, and Qingyang is not an ordinary envoy."

King Yao's eyes flickered slightly.

"You is only 500 miles away from Beijia, with a small population and a weak country. We are more than 100,000 miles away from Beijia, and there are huge countries like Mou and Ya, as well as countless small countries in between! It's not that easy for Beijia to send troops to get behind Mou." You Rongzhi analyzed, "If it could destroy our country at the drop of a hat, it could have easily swallowed up the Shining Gold Plains long ago. Why would it bother to play along with us?"

Distance is the biggest problem.

"In the Shining Gold Plain, we are the undisputed powerful country!" You Rongzhi added, "As for Qingyang, she is just an old woman who has been convicted and can only survive by relying on the protection of the Demon Emperor. She was sent to Yao Country, nominally as a regent, but in reality exiled. Even if we offend her, will Beijia really mobilize troops for her?"

"I heard that after her downfall, her rival Shuangye became the first national teacher of Beijia. Oh, this old woman went to another ocean in disgrace, but she is becoming more and more arrogant here!" King Yao pressed his hand on the table.

In fact, which of what You Rongzhi said was not clear to him?
You Rongzhi also realized that the king's patience was almost at its limit, so he dared to make such a suggestion.

It has been almost a year since Qingyang came to Yao Kingdom and has become increasingly powerful.

But he, King Yao, is the ruler of the powerful country in the Shining Golden Plains!
A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Blind tolerance will not bring good results. Yao country must make Qingyang understand the boundaries and limits!
King Yao thought about it and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right, the court just mentioned that the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce wants to have exchanges with our country?"

You Rongzhi immediately said, "It was Fan Shuang who went to negotiate. The owner of Yangshan Chamber of Commerce is called He Xiao, an old friend of his in Lingxu City, who also participated in the Immortality Case."

"Yes, the Immortality Case!" Yao Wang said immediately, "Find Fan Shuang for me!"

Fan Shuang was about to leave the city, but was summoned into the palace by King Yao's oral order.

When he ran in, his back was wet with sweat, but he couldn't hide his joy.

He finally got the chance to enter the palace and meet the emperor!
When he successfully introduced Yang Shan to him, he only reported to Lord You and has never met Jun Yan.

When King Yao saw Fan Shuang, he first gave him a seat, and then asked about He Xiao's role in the elixir of life case.

The eldest son died in Lingxu City, so King Yao had of course sent people to investigate the whole story of the immortality medicine case. But how could he have paid attention to a small figure like He Xiao?

So, "Speak in detail and don't miss anything."

"Yes." Fan Shuang calmed himself down and told the story of He Xiao in the elixir of life case.

It was not difficult for him to say it, because He Xiao was also a prominent figure in Lingxu City back then, and his popularity was almost as great as Fu Shanyue.

"Oh, he was the special envoy of the Chiyan Kingdom? Was he the one who opened the case of the elixir of life?"

"He was assassinated twice in Lingxu City, and one of the assassinations was done by Crown Prince Lingxu himself?"

After finally listening to Fan Shuang's story, King Yao clapped his hands and said, "Interesting, interesting. Although he was not the one who investigated the second half of the Immortality Medicine Case, he went to Lingxu City and left alive. This man is not simple, yes, really not simple!"

He knew better than anyone that the depths of power were dark. For a commoner to escape safely from this bottomless abyss, he must have had some ability.

"I'm afraid that He Xiao has someone helping him behind the scenes."

You Rongzhi said at the side: "Everyone in Lingxu City believes that the first assassination attempt on He Xiao was related to Qing Gong. Fan Shuang, is that right?"

"Ah, yes... yes!" Fan Shuang was not a stupid man. King Yao suddenly summoned him to the palace to inquire about the elixir of life case, which was probably related to Qingyang as the Regent.

Even though he was not in the court, he had heard about the conflict between Wang Ting and the Regent.

Fan Shuang's heart skipped a beat. The more the king valued He Xiao, the more beneficial it would be to her.

"Qingyang's failure started with He Xiao's involvement. It seems that they are related." King Yao finally smiled for the first time since the court meeting. "Fan Shuang, I will give you a task. Go to He Xiao again."

Fan Shuang was overjoyed: "I will obey your orders!"

Jucheng, Yangshan Chamber of Commerce.

He Lingchuan took the intelligence sent from Feng County and took a look, feeling both amused and annoyed:

"Jiuyou... The Great Emperor? This title is too ugly. Who came up with it? Drag him out and behead him."
