When Xiao Haoxuan walked into the inner hall of the envoy's mansion, the officials and envoys of the Xia Kingdom, who were full of the room, were all blushing with anger and burning with anxiety.

The moment they saw King Xuan, they no longer cared about the rules of etiquette, they all glared at him angrily and accused him loudly.

"His Royal Highness Xuan, why did you let the patrol battalion blockade the Xia Guo Envoy's Mansion?"

"The ambassador's mansion represents His Majesty Xia and Guowei Xia, you have no right to ban them without permission!"

"You are openly despising His Majesty Xia and disregarding the diplomatic relations between the two countries!"

Xiao Haoxuan's face was cold, his thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and his whole body was full of evil spirit.He was stunned to let the envoys swarming up unconsciously make way for him.

The man walked to the main seat and sat down, glanced at everyone coldly, and the hall became quiet in an instant.

The envoys all cast their trusting eyes on Tao Wenhui.

Because of Xia Chenhuan's replacement marriage, the emperor promoted Tao Wenhui to the rank of second-rank servant.Among the envoys, he has the highest official position and is in charge of the affairs of the envoy's mansion.

Tao Wenhui's face was extremely ugly, not only because of Xiao Haoxuan's extreme contempt for Xia Guo by sealing the messenger's mansion without saying a word.More importantly, he didn't know what happened, what happened to make the always steady King Xuan so arrogant.

Thinking of Xia Chenhuan's fake identity, Tao Wenhui's hands were covered with cold sweat.

But he didn't show anything on his face, stepped out of the crowd, and cupped his hands, with the tough attitude that an envoy should have.In any case, don't let yourself get in the way.

"His Royal Highness Xuan banned the messenger's mansion for no reason, which is extremely disrespectful to the court of the Xia Kingdom, and even hurt the majesty of the Yan Dynasty, which is really despicable!"

These words were extremely serious, but Xiao Haoxuan laughed them off, "For no reason? Song Zheng, bring someone up."

"Yes!" Song Zheng immediately went to pass the message outside the hall.

Xiao Haoxuan looked at Tao Wenhui who was puzzled, and slightly curled his lips, "Master Tao misunderstood. Today there are assassins in the city, and this king is worried about the safety of all the envoys, so he asked the patrol battalion to strictly protect him."

Surprised and suspicious, everyone exchanged glances with each other, the assassin did the murder?Who was stabbed?Even so, the government should not be banned.

Song Zheng happened to lead the guards to carry the assassin's body into the hall.

The moment everyone saw the corpse, they were terrified, stunned, and shouted, "Cui Yang!"

Tao Wenhui's face was full of disbelief, the blood faded from his face quickly, and his fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

Xiao Haoxuan didn't care how turbulent their hearts were at the moment, and said calmly, "Tonight at the Lantern Festival market, Cui Yang attempted to assassinate Princess Xuan, but after the incident failed, he committed suicide and died."

Assassinate the princess? ! "The princess..."

"The princess suffered some flesh injuries, but she is fine."

Tao Wenhui heaved a sigh of relief, and his heart sank immediately.

What a crime it is for an envoy to assassinate, and it's still Princess Xuan!Is it really as King Xuan said?If so, why did Cui Yang do this?If not, why did King Xuan do this again?

Tao Wenhui was cold all over, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "As the envoy of Xia Kingdom, why did Cui Yang assassinate the prince of Xia Kingdom? Now Cui Yang is dead, and there is no proof of his death. How can the assassination of Xia Kingdom be confirmed based on His Highness King Xuan's words alone."

Xiao Haoxuan raised his eyebrows, and smiled mockingly, "Xia Guo assassinated? Master Tao, I never said that."

Tao Wenhui turned pale with shock.He was too flustered just now, he was only focused on clearing things up, but he didn't want to understand the inside story, so he directly linked Cui Yang with Xia Guo.

Hao Xuan's tone became colder, "Cui Yang said before his death that he hated Xia Guo's begging for peace from Dayan, and felt that this king's concubine has no shame, and death is not a pity."

All the messengers gasped and whispered to each other.For a country's envoys to do such wrong things, it is really detrimental to Xia's dignity.

Tao Wenhui was startled, is King Xuan trying to pick Xia Guo out now?Why?

The friendship between the two countries is good for Dayan, and King Xuan should not do anything sabotage.Then it is true that Cui Yang is assassinating, the purpose is...

He frowned, according to King Xuan, the assassination was only Cui Yang's personal act.Of course, the Cui family must also be abolished.But how could Cui Yang be such a reckless person who has no brains?

Xiao Haoxuan went on to say, "Since the princess is from Xia, and Cui Yang is the envoy of Xia, it is not for the king to interfere in this matter. But in the end, Chen Yu is my king's concubine, and she is also a member of Dayan. I hope Xia Guo Your Majesty can thoroughly investigate to the end, give this king an explanation, and also give Dayan an explanation."

The man changed the subject, and suddenly became extremely gloomy and cold, unable to hide his anger, "I hope Master Tao understands that if the fourth prince who was injured was the one beside him, Dayan would not have given up so easily."

King Xuan knew there was something in his words, Tao Wenhui choked for breath, and suddenly understood the truth of the matter.It was the Fourth Prince that Cui Yang wanted to assassinate, and what he wanted was the breakdown of the Yanxia Alliance.The biggest beneficiary of the breakup of the alliance is Ruan Ji, and the Cui and Ruan families are probably united.

The play of King Xuan...

Tao Wen's face paled, he patted his knees, bowed his hands and saluted, with a solemn and sincere expression, "Thank you His Royal Highness Xuan Wang for his insight. I will send a letter to Your Majesty immediately to investigate this matter thoroughly and not let anyone involved in the case be spared. Give the prince an explanation!"

Tao Wenhui is sincerely thanking King Xuan, thanking him for his intelligence and clarity, and thanking him for thinking about Xia Guo.

Everyone looked at Tao Wenhui in panic.The messenger will not kneel easily.But Tao Wenhui not only knelt down, but even accepted all of King Xuan's words in this way.

Some people are puzzled, and some people have smelled the inside story.

Xiao Haoxuan's face was cold and heartless, he didn't even bother to fake a smile, and he didn't let Tao Wenhui get up.He just wanted to tell Xia Guoren that he was very upset.

Now that he had made it clear, Xiao Haoxuan stood up and walked out, leaving everyone with a cold back and saying "I hope Master Tao will do what he says!"

Tao Wenhui clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, got up and turned to the palace gate, bowed his head and saluted, "Send off His Royal Highness Xuan Wang."

Everyone hurriedly saluted, "Respectfully send off His Royal Highness Xuan Wang."

Two days later, Tao Wenhui met Xia Chenhuan and learned what happened from him.

Tao Wenhui was both scared and happy.Afraid that it was the fourth prince who was hurt at that time, but also happy that the Cui family was defeated and Ruan Ji was frustrated.

At the same time, Tao Wenhui developed more admiration and respect for Xia Chenhuan.It is self-evident that Xia Chenhuan played a mediating role in King Xuan's handling.

Although the post story had already been reported, after seeing Xia Chenhuan, Tao Wenhui rushed back to the Kingdom of Xia immediately, and presented the matter to Emperor Xia.

Four days later, it was past time when Xiao Haoxuan returned home from the Sixth Division.

Before he reached the bedroom, he saw Bai Chen sitting on the porch, leaning on a pillar to drink while watching the snow falling in the courtyard, looking at ease.

Li Wen, who was following behind, stared, "President Bai!"

Bai Chen never walked through the main entrance, and every time he popped up without anyone noticing, no one in his house could notice it.Xiao Haoxuan waved his hand helplessly, Li Wen had no choice but to turn around and retreat.

Bai Chen turned his head to look at Xiao Haoxuan, his evil face became more and more handsome because of his smile, "Haoxuan, you are so busy so late, you are exactly the same as when Chu Yi was young."

However, Xiao Haoxuan turned a blind eye to that beauty, walked up to him and sat down, and called coldly, "President Bai."

Bai Chen curled his lips, "You are still as indifferent as ever", he teased with a smile, "I heard that you are so passionate after getting married?"

Xiao Haoxuan gave Bai Chen a cold look, but the other party immediately fell silent.

Bai Chen cursed secretly in his heart, he really was Chu Yi's son, he was even more imposing, and he only restrained himself in front of them.

He looked serious, unable to hide his hostility, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Dare to touch Haoyuan, Ruan Ji really does not know the heights of heaven and earth.

It seems that Bai Chen already knew that Xiao Haoxuan didn't turn the corner, "Ruan Ji's military power can't be moved for the time being, and we don't need to make any effort to move it. But the power of the Ruan family's Boling should be cut."

Bai Chen smiled, "You are going to cut off the foundation of the Ruan family and their source of income."

The aristocratic family is a class formed on the basis of the manor economy.Both the former Xia and Xia dynasties distributed land based on official titles.However, the aristocratic families purchased and merged a large amount of land, and under the supervision of private military forces, they rented out a large amount of land obtained by purchasing, annexing, and expropriating to tribes and tenant farmers, and charged high land rent and grain for themselves.

The annexation of land made the people displaced and unable to maintain their own property.In recent years, Emperor Xia has vigorously promoted the rules and regulations, implemented land cuts, and prohibited mergers.

But it works, just...

Xiao Haoxuan's eyes flashed, "The Ruan family has tens of thousands of acres of land and more than [-] tenant farmers. I want to ask Shujianmeng to cooperate with Wenli Pavilion. Get evidence and witnesses, and escort them into the Xia Dynasty. Du Yunzhong. At that time, I will hand it over to the Yin family, and Yin Boyang will naturally take care of the rest."

Although Wenli Pavilion's industrial influence spreads all over Dayan, it has been established for a short time after all, and it cannot compare with the centuries-old foundation of the Shujian League.In particular, the Xia Kingdom was once exclusive, and it was difficult for the Yan people to gain a foothold in the past.

Although Wenlige has established a monitoring point in Xiaguo, its industrial expansion and the number of subordinates are far behind Shujianmeng.Xiao Haoxuan could get the news, but it was very difficult to get evidence and witnesses, and deliver them safely from Boling to Yunzhong.

Bai Chen took a sip of wine from the jug and nodded.He can still do this, "No problem."

Ruan Ji didn't move at all, but the Ruan family's economic status was greatly reduced, and even many officials in the family would be demoted and dismissed.Family politics, in the final analysis, depends on the family.Xiao Haoxuan was indeed hitting the seven inches, he was very discerning.

Xiao Haoxuan said again, "Wenlige and Shujianmeng will not do business with the Ruan family in the future. As long as we unite, it will not be difficult to block him."

The two countries opened up borders and trade, and the country of Xia was a combination of farming and animal husbandry.The Ruan family was no exception, receiving a large amount of wool products from their subordinate herdsmen, and selling milk and meat products for profit.

Bai Chen laughed out loud, "You really don't leave any way of life for the Ruan family."

Xiao Haoxuan raised his eyebrows, and there was a murderous look in his eyes, "Now it's just a lesson, in the future they will know what it means to be cornered."

Bai Chen smiled more and more cunningly, his phoenix eyes slightly turned up, as if he wanted to see through Xiao Haoxuan, "Is it really just for Hao Yuan? Why do I feel that you are still venting your anger on someone?"

Both Bai Chen and Xiao Haoxuan knew what was best for Dayan.

Let the conflicts and balances between the various clans of the Xia Kingdom, between the gentry and the imperial power, and between the gentry and the refugees achieve a dynamic balance.

They don't need to work hard to get rid of the traitors and traitors for Emperor Xia, after all Xia Guo is not their responsibility.As long as you give a little external force from time to time, it will be fine so that neither party will have the upper hand.

But this time Xiao Haoxuan seemed to put Emperor Xia's interests first, so it couldn't possibly have nothing to do with Shuang'er who married someone else, right?

Bai Chen still knows Xiao Haoxuan very well. Although he is cold-tempered, he is actually extremely defensive.

Let's just say that he treats the four princes and princesses with Chu Yi and Gu Yao pampering and protecting them. Where the children have been hurt since they were young is because someone secretly thinks about it.

But just because of thinking about it, Xiao Haoxuan didn't attack with the usual pace of advance and retreat.

The same is true for the people in Prince Xuan's Mansion, they are severely punished inside, and they will never bow to others outside.

With Haoxuan's character, he is the only one who can bully his people.It's okay for him to bully, but others can't give him a little grievance.

What is it now?Bai Chen smiled like a fox, "It seems that you consider Xia Chenyu as one of your own."

Xiao Haoxuan looked at the melting plum tree, and said in a deep voice after a while, "He is my princess."

Bai Chen was slightly taken aback, and then trembled all over.

As soon as he put the flagon down, no one was seen in an instant, only the internal force remained to transmit the sound.

"I was almost numb to death by you. I'm going to find Xiaojiu. Don't worry, I will take care of things."

Xiao Haoxuan sat alone on the porch, looking thoughtful.

After a while, his eyes darkened, he got up and walked towards Xiyuan.
