The prince is very fierce

The Crown Prince Is Very Fierce Chapter 64 of Hidden Dragon Scale Shadow Chapter 64 Insight into the overall situation At noon, the main courtyard in the middle of the Xiao Mansion was guarded by more than ten retainers in different clothes. The maids and servants were all told to stay away. Most of the entire Xiao family in Huainan All the guests are gathered here. At this moment, the study room of the Xiao Mansion is probably no less tightly guarded than the imperial study room in the imperial city.

In the large study room, Prime Minister Xiao Chuyang had not yet taken off his official robe, sitting quietly behind the desk with a cup of hot tea.

Three staff members of the Xiao family were sitting in the study. Among them was Hua Jingting, the chief manager of the Xiao family in Huainan, and they were all Xiao family's confidants.

At home, Xiao Qi, who serves as the head of the Xiao family, has a higher status than her brother Xiao Chuyang. However, as the eldest brother is like a father, it is naturally impossible for him to sit at the head of the throne. He can only sit elegantly on the Taishi chair next to the desk. Telling the key to this visit to Beijing:

"...After the Dragon Locking Gu was stolen, I have been sending people to secretly investigate, but unfortunately nothing has been found. There are few people in the world who can completely wipe out their whereabouts under the eyes of me, Mrs. Xiao. The poison that was poisoned by Prince Su the year before last , it has not yet been determined whether it came from my Xiao family, but it is irrelevant. The important thing is why Prince Su was infected with the Dragon Lock Gu."

Xiao Chuyang listened quietly, because they were all Xiao's helmsmen, and they spoke without reservation:

"I have long sensed that something is wrong with the situation. I guess that the Holy One is afraid of King Su's lineage and wants to cut down the vassal. However, the Holy One's mood and anger are not clear at the moment, so it is difficult to tell anything."

Xiao Qi shook her head, with a bit of indifference in her eyes, and said softly:

"This matter is by no means as simple as 'cutting down the vassalage'. 'King Su is plotting to unify' is also nonsense."

"oh?"

Several people in the study frowned slightly. Xiao Chuyang rubbed his tea cup and said softly:

"If it's not to reduce the vassal status, what else could it be for?"

Xiao Qi pondered for a moment and looked towards the direction of the imperial city: "Ten years ago, King Su You disobeyed and did not kill the entire Donghai Lu family, which made the Holy Emperor feel fearful...

...King Su holds the two states of Qin and Wei, which poses a great threat to Chang'an, but moving the capital to Luoyang will inevitably shake up the country. Judging from the skill shown by the emperor's succession, he will not choose to take this step back..."

Xiao Chuyang thought about it for a moment: "If it was the Holy Lord who made the move, this move would be too bad. If Xu is killed, King Su will have to rebel. If King Su rebels, everything will be broken, and it is very likely that he will enter Chang'an. By then, the six kings will join Chang'an King Qin. Although King Su could be driven away and killed, the Song clan members in Chang'an City at that time, including the current Emperor, must have died under King Su's sword... The Emperor would never let the other six vassal kings have the idea of ​​​​perishing with King Su. Let's reap the benefits of being a fisherman and create peace for the world... When the six dragons seize the legitimate rights, I'm afraid the chaos caused by King Su's rebellion will be more serious..."

Xiao Qi nodded: "That's the problem, so King Su and even us all guessed that it was not the hand of the Holy Master, but someone else. But who this person is cannot be determined."

Xiao Chuyang nodded: "That's true. Your Majesty treats Prince Su and Prince Su with impeccable words and actions. I'm afraid this is a trap set up by others."

Xiao Qi smiled softly: "It is indeed the plan set up by others. Since the previous dynasty, the Central Plains has been separatist with heavy troops. Although they are loyal to the court, the harm is obvious. Before Jiazi, our dynasty competed with Daqi for the world. In the end, At the beginning, it was difficult to move even an inch. Every time he attacked a state or county, he had to pay the price in blood. Even Emperor Xiaozong personally wore armor and went into battle to boost morale...

...and in the middle stage of the fight, when both sides were evenly matched, the pressure suddenly weakened. Basically, my grandfather and those generals and aristocratic families were in love with each other, and they spent more time sitting on the table than on the battlefield. More...I love Sodu.com

...Finally, they reached Guanzhong Road. Da Qi's national strength was still there, and all the civil and military officials were there. However, the Emperor of Da Qi found that he had no usable soldiers. In the battle to break the country in Chang'an City, there were only 100,000 soldiers and horses to stop Dayue's cavalry. "

After Xiao Qi said this, she stood up and looked at the map of Dayue hanging in the study: "Today's emperor has lofty ambitions and supports the literati to launch the imperial examination. He wants to reduce the military power of the powerful families, especially the generals... Ten years ago Iron Eagle's deer hunting is to scare the monkeys. Most of the small families are frightened, but there are still a few families with big businesses that are difficult to shake. My second brother must know who these families are. "

Xiao Chuyang nodded lightly: "After the current Holy Emperor succeeded to the throne, he humbly accepted advice and knew people were good at their duties. Everyone in the government and the public worshiped him. Even the Seven Kings did not dare to make mistakes. It is difficult for those families to cause any trouble."

Xiao Qi shook her head: "You don't have to make trouble in the court. No matter how talented the Holy Emperor is, he only has two arms and one head, which is no more than half a life than a hard-working untouchable. He can't play chess. One sword splatters with blood on five moves. This game of chess is also useless. It’s a win.”

After the words fell, several staff members and Xiao Chuyang frowned and looked at each other. Xiao Chuyang hesitated:

"I'm afraid this is a bit of a joke. If the king of a country was so easy to kill, he would have changed dynasties countless times."

Xiao Qi smiled softly and sat back in her chair: "This is the fact, but there must be variables. I rushed to the capital in a hurry, so I came over to keep an eye on it to prevent the Xiao family from getting the wrong son at the critical moment."

Xiao Chuyang was silent for a moment while holding the tea cup, and said softly: "Today's Holy Master is too tough. As a brother, I can only be cautious in my words and deeds. The launch of the imperial examination will actually be harmful to my Huainan Xiao family..."

Xiao Qi raised her hand and shook her head: "I, the Xiao family, may also be chess pieces on the chessboard, rather than people watching chess. The first move is the first mistake. If the second brother assesses the situation too early and stands in the wrong position, Conglong's merit will be lost." If you get it, you may lose the entire Xiao family."

Xiao Chuyang took a breath and considered it carefully for a moment:

"What about the Lu family across the street?"

"Ten years ago, Jinling Lu spoke for Donghai Lu and was reprimanded by His Majesty several times. Lu Cheng'an is not an incompetent person. He will definitely choose to wait and see until the dust settles. Second brother is the head of all officials. He must express his position at that time. Remember to think twice before acting."

The study fell silent. After sitting for a while, several people nodded gently.

Xiao Chuyang breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand and said, "Xiao Qi, you have come all the way here. It is not easy to travel by boat and car. Go down and rest first. Tomorrow, we will have a family dinner and invite Prince Su. You can chat with him and see if you can find out anything."

Although Xiao Qi ran thousands of miles, he was used to running around in Huainan. He did not look tired at all. Instead, he was very energetic. He nodded slightly, stood up and walked out with the housekeeper to visit the descendants of the Xiao family living in the capital...——
