Zhi Xuan

Chapter 221

The queen planned painstakingly and arranged many times of manpower in order to lure the snake out of the hole and completely clean up the king's influence.She already had a plan in her heart, and if she doesn't move, it will be done. Once it is implemented, it will definitely turn the capital city upside down.

Do not break or stand.

If you don't break the old windows, you will never welcome the new wind.

Prince Huai got the list, knew the queen's arrangement, knew it was beneficial to him, but still hesitated in his heart.

Seeing his hesitation, the queen was disappointed.

"Come on, I'll do it."

"Mother, I..." Prince Huai was ashamed, clenched his fists, and finally made up his mind, "Mother, I will do it!"

"There is no turning back when you shoot the bow." The queen warned Prince Huai carefully, hoping that he would not change the order overnight, and suddenly softened.The consequences of giving up halfway are unpredictable. If it cannot be cleaned up, it is better to stay out of it from the very beginning.

Prince Huai smiled wryly, knowing that the previous wavering had disappointed his mother, and even gave birth to distrust.

Things have come to this, he must change himself.

As my mother said, he is the one who sits on the throne, and he is also the one who controls the capital city.If he hid behind his mother in everything and relied on his mother to clear the way, how could he have the face to take over the king's seal.In the future, he will be mediocre when he ascends the throne, and he will be called incompetent and cowardly.

Seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, the queen was relieved, and told him to deploy manpower as soon as possible, so as to kill him with one blow, and not give the opponent a chance to counterattack.

"To capture a snake, if you don't move it, you will kill it; if you move it, you will cut it seven inches."

On the basis of the queen's plan, Prince Huai further refined the details and set a time for action.

"The royal family's private soldiers are weak, and it is enough to deal with snakes and rats."

In front of the soldiers of Xiyuan Kingdom and Bei'an Kingdom, the private soldiers of the royal family are like paper tigers, they are vulnerable and not opponents at all.Compared with the clans in the city, they are almost equal to each other, and their combat effectiveness is not much different.

The two sides are evenly matched, the Queen and Prince Huai deliberately pre-emptively hit the target and were caught off guard.

In order to protect the foundation of the capital, the mother and son will not go on a killing spree, and the ultimate goal is to drive the families on the list to fiefs.The vacated position will be taken over by someone arranged by Prince Huai, who will control the entire court as quickly as possible.

"It doesn't matter if the number of people is not enough. When the city is stable, select those who are talented and outstanding, and promote them after being summoned."

"promise."

After the plan was settled, Prince Huai said goodbye and left, and arranged staff overnight.

The door of the hall opened and closed again, and the maidservants filed in, lighting up the bronze lamps to disperse the darkness in the hall.

The queen leaned on the couch, pinching the center of her brows, showing a little tiredness.

After all, she has aged, which cannot be compared with when she was young.Spending energy and effort to pave the way for his son's plan, success or failure depends entirely on Prince Huai himself.

Indecision is not the quality of a king.

Prince Huai's situation is special, and in terms of the future situation, this kind of temperament is just right.Being too rigid is not only useless but harmful, it may even lead to death.

"There are definite numbers in everything."

The queen sighed silently, her eyes gradually closed, seemingly falling into a deep sleep.

The maid in the hall breathed lightly, the servant stood with his back to the wall, under the flickering candlelight, the shadows of everyone stretched on the wall, and then became distorted.

The sun's disk sank to the horizon, and night fell.

A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the silver light shines down, covering the city of Zhongdu with a coolness.

The entire palace fell into silence, and the sound of footsteps and speech could not be heard.The palaces and pavilions lost their vitality and became eerily quiet in the night.

At midnight, dark clouds gathered in the sky, covering the moonlight and stars.The dark night is like a ferocious monster, opening its mouth wide, trying to devour the magnificent city.

The queen slept very restlessly, and suddenly woke up, sat up, and pressed her chest with one hand, only to feel her heartbeat suddenly increased, almost jumping out of her chest.

Across the hall, there was a faint movement of the comatose king.The thin fingers slowly curled up, and the eyelids jumped twice nervously, as if they would open in the next moment.

The servants guarding the hall yawned twice, feeling very sleepy.Relying on the king's unconsciousness, he leaned his back against the wall and fell asleep.

Because of the servant's negligence, he missed the king's voice.When the doctor brought the decoction and was about to give it to Wang, the latter became lifeless again, without any reaction.If it were not for breathing, it would be the same corpse.

The wind and rain are approaching in the central capital, and the stormy waves are sweeping across, and no one can easily break free.

Zhi Xuan, who is far away at the border, does not yet know the changes in the capital city.During the stay in Yaocheng, except for showing up on the first day, he and Zhao Hao stayed in the room for the rest of the time, discussing alliance matters.

Most of the regulations were finalized, and a messenger from the prince arrived.

The Bei'an army marched to the appointed place, and Zhao Hao needed to set off as soon as possible so that he could join Shi Zixuan smoothly and return to the northern capital together.

Even though he was reluctant, Zhao Hao had no choice but to leave.

The night before leaving, the candles in Zhixuan's room were kept on all night, and colorful pearls rolled all over the ground.

At dawn, Zhi Xuan personally sent Zhao Hao out of the city, along with twenty carts.The car is full of all kinds of rare treasures, as well as selected grains, which can be described as priceless.

The soldiers of Zhaodi marched out of the city, recalling the situation when they came, looking at the carts piled up into a hill, and meeting each other's gazes, they felt very complicated.

Marquis Xiyuan was rich and powerful, and waved away twenty carts of precious grains, which was comparable to a year's tax revenue for a small country.Although his son is not poor, he can even be called rich, but he is still reduced to scum in front of Xi Yuanhou, which is not enough to look at at all.

According to the speed at which Marquis Xiyuan is gathering wealth, when will the young master be able to straighten his back?

I'm afraid I can't do it in my life.

Sad people!

When Zhao Hao set off, Zhi Xuan saw him off in a car, and he never got out of the car from the beginning to the end.It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't do it.With a sore waist and weak legs, it is okay to ride a car, but it is absolutely impossible to walk. In all likelihood, you will make a fool of yourself in public.

"Bon Voyage."

When speaking, Zhi Xuan resisted the urge to rub his waist.Thinking of what happened last night, and looking at the beauty on horseback, I suddenly felt a bit itchy.

When peony flowers die, it is also romantic to be a ghost.

Who said this line?

Come out, he promises to poke a hole with his sword!

As if he could see what Zhi Xuan was thinking, Zhao Hao curled his lips into a slight smile, and in an instant, he was radiant, unparalleled in beauty.The eyes are flowing, seductive, like a goblin.

Zhi Xuan grinded his back molars, put the tip of his tongue against the upper teeth, and kept telling himself that the location was wrong, and he must not be impulsive.After several repetitions, I managed to control my emotions.

"Thank you for your kindness, and look forward to seeing you again!"

Seeing Zhi Xuan's unkindness, Zhao Hao corrected his expression and accepted it when he saw it.

Thinking that the two of them will be separated for several months, Zhixuan felt very sad.Deliberately want to keep people, reason overwhelms emotion after all.The heavy responsibility of the king of a country is on his shoulders, and he can't be too willful, at least not now.

Zhao Hao steered his horse away, and the red team formed a long line, rolling up a large cloud of sand and dust, and gradually disappeared at the end of his eyes.

Zhi Xuan turned around and went back to the city, and he will also pack up and prepare for the return trip.

Before leaving, Zhixuan summoned the local clan and county officials to express their recognition of their political achievements.Especially for the clans that surrendered from Dongliang, they did not hesitate to praise and reward them, and even bestowed the Yao clan on them to show how much they valued him.

"Thank you sir!"

It is customary to use the fiefdom as the clan, which symbolizes the formal integration of this family into the Xiyuan Kingdom, and will be treated equally politically and militarily.

The Patriarch of the Yao family was overjoyed, and together with his eldest son and grandson Xie En, he showed his loyalty to Zhixuan and vowed to do his best for the king until his death.

Zhi Xuan was very touched on the face, but he had other plans in his heart.

Just listen to the clan's oath, don't take it seriously.Dealing with these old foxes who have been immersed in officialdom for decades is purely suicidal.Talking about feelings is water in the head, and the maintenance of interests is the strongest.

The Patriarch of the Yao clan didn't get promoted, but having the monarch give him a clan is far more important than being promoted.

Zhixuan was very interested in Yao's ruling philosophy, and decided to call Luogong for a detailed discussion after returning to the capital.If Luo Gong thinks it is feasible, he will call the eldest son of the Yao family into the court to train a helper for Luo Gong.

The Yao family is a new investor and has no roots in the Western capital, so he is the most suitable candidate for promotion.

From the eyes of Yao's father and son, Zhi Xuan could see the burning ambition, and he didn't hide it at all.Because of this honesty, Zhi Xuan decided to give the other party a chance.Whether he can catch it all depends on Yao's own performance.

After leaving Yaocheng, Zhao Hao traveled day and night and arrived at the appointed place before the army set off.

Shi Ziyuan was not surprised to learn that his brother had returned.Hearing that he had brought back twenty carts, all of which were gifts from the Marquis of Xiyuan, the Crown Prince was curious, and immediately walked out of the big tent, boarded the chariot and came to the front of the camp.

Seeing the real thing, Shi Ziyu was stunned on the spot, almost dislocated his jaw.

What is the behemoth in front of him is completely different from what he imagined, it is completely two concepts.

This mountain-like thing is a car?

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mobile house.

The hemp rope was unraveled, the cloth was lifted, and a golden light was shining, Shi Ziyu was almost dazzled.

For a moment, Shi Ziyu had doubts, whether his brother suddenly had an itchy hand and robbed the treasury of a small country.Otherwise it really doesn't make sense.

The golden silk was piled up on the cart, and the bright gold made people dizzy.

All kinds of colorful treasures are packed in boxes, so many that even the lid of the box cannot be closed.Thumb-sized pearls are rare, but they are randomly packed in bags, no different from ordinary pearl oysters.

Coral, tortoise shell, ivory, etc. are fully loaded on the car, which is dizzying.

In addition, there are all kinds of animal skins, which have been tanned by special methods. They are bright in color and soft to the touch, unlike ordinary animal skins that are hard and sticky when wrapped around the body.

The most valuable is a jade bi, which is as big as two palms of an adult, with exquisite patterns carved on it, which is beautiful in the sun, which is amazing.

There are countless rare treasures in An's treasury, but none of them can compare with this piece of jade.

In most vassal states, this piece of jade can be the treasure of the town.Now it is only wrapped in silk and piled up with pearls and colored treasures, as if there is nothing unusual about it.

More precious than treasures are two carts of grain.The agreement can only be planted in Zhao Hao's fief, which is also of great benefit to Bei'an.

After Lin Lin took stock of all kinds, Shi Zizhen was greatly shocked, and he couldn't recover for a long time.When Zhao Hao took the initiative to make a sound, he turned his neck and looked at his brother very complicatedly.

Why did the gift come from? Needless to say.Sure enough, appearance is justice, and beauty is everything.

Fortunately, my brother looks good, luckily!

Thinking of this, Shi Zixuan pressed Zhao Hao's shoulder, and solemnly said: "Remember, you must protect your face."

Zhao Hao: "..."

The eldest son is still worried, and decides to report to the Marquis of Bei'an after returning home. The father and son will work together to protect Zhao Hao's face as much as possible, and make sure that he remains beautiful forever.
