Extra: Chapter 3, Conspiracy, the Chi Yan Massacre(1/2)
…………
In the Wuying Hall, Liang Emperor Xiao Xuan sat high on the throne, and all the ministers in the hall were in order.
"Your Majesty, I have received news that Dayu in the north has raised troops to attack Liang. They are preparing to come to Mening and intend to go straight into our territory of Daliang."
"What……"
"Is Da Yu raising troops to invade the country?"
"S..."
"This Dayu is really not afraid of a fight. He was defeated last time. He didn't learn a lesson. Instead, he only got worse. He deserves to be killed!"
Following the words of the chief minister of Xuanjing going down to the river, there was a lot of discussion in the court for a while.
Qi King Xiao Jingyu was also extremely worried: "Father, please ask me to send a large army to stop the Chongqing army immediately."
"King Qi is wise, your majesty and ministers agree with King Qi's words."
Lin Xie: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the Red Flame Army to kill these enemies outside the beams."
There was a lot of discussion in the court hall. One can imagine the high reputation of Qi King Xiao Jingyu.
Although Xiao Xuan's expression remained calm, his inner vigilance towards Xiao Jingyu had reached its limit and there was no need to delay.
At the same time, he was also wary of Lin Xie, who was obviously biased towards Xiao Jingyu. This guy was the general marshal of Daliang, commanding the Red Flame Army.
Once you rebel, you will have no way to resist yourself.
As the history books say: You have not rebelled, but you have the ability to rebel, and that is your crime. This is a taboo for the emperor.
"Master Ning, Master Yan, what are your opinions?"
"Your Majesty, Da Yu repeatedly violates the border and should be taught a lesson.
I, the great leader, have strong soldiers and horses, so I should beat him hard this time so that Dayu, who is ready to move, will not dare to offend my great leader again."
"Your Majesty, what Marquis Yan said is absolutely true, and I also think so."
"Haha, okay, just what I wanted.
Lin Xie, the country of Chongqing repeatedly invaded our border with Daliang.
I also got the news from Xia Jiang Aiqing through other channels. Da Yu has raised troops again and will arrive at Meiling. Therefore, I order you to lead the Red Flame Army to Meiling and annihilate all these enemy troops.
, I am waiting in Jinling for the marshal’s triumphant return.”
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have received my order and will definitely not defeat Dayu's army and swear not to return the throne."
…
"Retreat from the court..."
When the government ended, a sharp voice like a drake sounded.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"Gao Zhan, go and call Xia Shouzun and Xie Houye. I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with them and discuss state affairs."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
…
Princess Jingxin's Mansion
Xiao Jingxin was immediately upset when she heard that Dayu was revolting, but she also knew that at this time, she could not intervene.
Otherwise, no matter how favored you are, the last glass of poisonous wine will be inevitable.
"Hey, big brother, big brother, my little sister has persuaded you, but your ambition is still unabated, but no matter what...
The storm is coming and the mountains are about to be destroyed. The Red Flame Army? A loyal army. It's a pity that it can't do anything.
You all can't see clearly my father's suspicious character, so you deserve this.
There is nothing I can do for you. I can only secretly help Brother Lin Shu when he vindicates your case in the future."
So shameless, ashamed to be a woman, ashamed to be a sister, yet still speaking so grandly for fear of being implicated.
Fortunately, she was the only one in the princess mansion, otherwise whoever heard it would definitely break up with her.
But this guy still looked calm and clearly had a clear conscience.
Yes, her situation is very special. Not only was she cautious in her previous life, she was greedy for life and fearful of death, and liked to have a self-protective character. When she first came here in this life, she has always been cautious.
I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will fall into the abyss.
The one who has some feelings is just the seventh brother Xiao Jingyan and Concubine Jing who has pulled her since childhood.
Even though Xiao Xuan, the father-in-law, had heard a lot, he didn't care about family ties at all. Those relatives who offended him would show no mercy.
She was sure that even though she was favored now, if she didn't restrain herself, the end would not be good.
The reason why she was close to Xiao Xuan and the Empress Dowager was just to provide an extra layer of protection for her own safety.
"Forget it, let's practice hard. Fortunately, the level of force in this world is not too high, Generalissimo Lin Xie.
According to my observation, at most about ten meridians have been opened.
And now that I have opened up six meridians, I can be considered a second-rate master, right?
It's better to practice as soon as possible. Nothing is as strong and secure as one's own. The feeling that one's life can be decided by someone else's thoughts at any time is like walking on thin ice. It's really uncomfortable.
Lingyun Pavilion, when will it truly reach Lingyun?"
After Xiao Jingxin sighed helplessly, he continued to practice martial arts in seclusion in the secret room.
She sat cross-legged on the bed in her room, her mind calm, neither anxious nor impatient. Her internal energy moistened her body along his meridians. She felt her body warm and refreshed, and her five senses seemed to have become more sensitive.
…
In the palace where Emperor Liang Xiaoxuan usually rested, Xie Yu and Xia Jiang came here soon, knocked on the door and entered, and saw that His Majesty the Emperor was preparing a meal.
"I pay my respects to your Majesty. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."
"Haha, you don't need to be polite to the two Qings. I haven't chatted with the two Qings for a long time, and I even miss them.
Come, come, have a meal, no need to be formal, no need to be polite."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am very flattered."
"Haha, this is what the monarch and his ministers should do. For the long-term peace and stability of Daliang, we, the monarch and our ministers, should communicate more.
This time Dayu was so bold that he even dared to invade my country, Daliang.
I have many talented people in the Liang Dynasty, and there are heroes side by side. We have Marshal Lin’s Red Flame Army and King Qi Jingyu. Even if I and all my dear friends don’t need to take action, these two alone are enough to settle this crisis.”
Xiao Xuan mentioned it inadvertently, except when he mentioned the two of them, his tone was a little more serious, and he looked completely complimentary.
However, as his henchmen, Xia Jiang and Xie Yu still heard His Majesty's fear, dissatisfaction, and murderous intent.
In addition, Xia Jiang was originally full of fear about the recent proposal by King Qi to lay off the Xuanjing Division. If the Xuanjing Division was laid off, what would he do?
At the same time, the two of them were also very afraid of Lin Xie, the general in charge of the Red Flame Army.
With this person around, they always feel inferior and worry about being sacrificed.
After all, when Lin Xie looked at the two of them, his nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes.
Xie Yu, Marquis of Ning State: "It is because of your Majesty's wise leadership and conscientious governance that we have achieved the prosperous age of Daliang, where the weather is smooth and the people do not close their homes at night. Your Majesty is an eternal wise king, and you have King Qi and Lin Shuai under your command. This is a matter of fate."
Your Majesty will surely be able to unify all countries and achieve great unification.
But having said that, the battle between the two armies is extremely dangerous, and there is always a risk of losing one's life.
Our army in Daliang, for the sake of Daliang, guards the borders and protects our home and country, the treatment should be improved."
Xia Jiang also echoed: "It is natural to improve the treatment of soldiers in the army.
After all, soldiers are always faced with the risk of life and death on the battlefield."
The two men's words both revealed the danger of the battlefield. When Xiao Xuan heard what he said, he immediately knew that these two guys knew what he meant.
He agreed with what the two said with a serious look on his face.
"Well, what the two beloved ministers said is absolutely true. Let's discuss this matter after the Red Flame Army returns in triumph."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
…
After Xia Jiang and Xie Yu left, they were worried and heavy, but they also showed a vague expression of excitement.
They kept thinking: Lin Xie and Xiao Jingyu were seeking death. They knew that His Majesty was suspicious, yet they dared to meddle in national affairs in such a big way.
A person with a high position of power, who holds 80% of the military power of a major force and does not know how to retreat in time, deserves to be feared by His Majesty to the point where he is now not able to eliminate his displeasure.
Although the two of them did not speak during the whole journey, they both understood each other tacitly and returned to their respective mansions to make plans.
…
Xiao Jingxin once again met his eldest brother Qi Wang, who was in a hurry.
"Brother, why are you so worried?"
