Chapter 180: Wei State wants to annex Xiao State?
And, at such a critical moment?
A hint of contemplation flashed across the emperor's wise eyes.
For some reason, he always felt that this happened too strangely.
Of course, this does not mean that he does not believe that Xiao Yi will kill other princes.
Instead, based on his understanding of his third son, he was not such an impulsive person.
Even if you want to eliminate dissidents, you should not use such a reckless and gamble method.
What's more, there is still such important evidence left in the place where the prince was killed?
This is too inconsistent with the third son's style of conduct.
But!
When I think of my third son...
The emperor's eyes were slightly sunken, and there was a hint of anger between his eyebrows.
Suddenly, he smiled coldly and said, "Come here!"
In an instant, a slight fluctuation occurred in the air.
The next second, a man in black brocade dressed in a kneeling in front of the emperor: "I am here."
The emperor's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was majestic and powerful: "Transfer my will: The third prince Xiao Yi slacked his responsibilities and used his power for personal gain. Now he was bewitched by others, so he rebelled. This is a crime that deserves death. I remember his past merits, and I have been exempted from death, dismissed his status as a prince, and demoted him to a commoner. The surname of the third generation is not allowed to be Xiao, and I will never enter the capital. All the property in the palace is filled into the treasury, and I will order the departure to begin today."
The Imperial Guards' hearts were thunderous, but they didn't show their faces: "The subordinates receive the order."
The Jinyiwei took the imperial edict from the censor and flew out of the palace.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor issued several imperial edicts in succession.
The general meaning is, the Minister of War, the General's Mansion, the Minister of Works... etc.
A group of important officials of the court formed a clique for personal gain and bewitched the prince...
All of them were sent to extremely cold places and were not allowed to return to Beijing for life, and they were not allowed to enter the court for three generations.
All the property in the palace was also filled into the national treasury to serve as a warning to others.
After several imperial edicts were taken, the censor was so tired that his hands trembled, and the Imperial Guards and the Ministers also left for half.
Don't ask why the Imperial Guards were ordered to accompany them?
Of course it is to protect the security of the minister.
Since those people have decided to rebel, they cannot follow the will of the emperor.
The emperor's purpose was not to let him accept the order, but to announce it to the world.
It was not that he had thought of beheading the third prince.
But he only has such a son left.
If even he is gone, then he, the emperor...
I'm afraid it's the most miserable emperor from ancient times to the present.
Now that it has been eliminated, it will become the only remaining father-son relationship!
After giving orders, the emperor seemed to have grown dozens of years old in an instant.
Even his face, which was still vibrant just now, began to show a look of grayness, and his whole body was filled with the breath of death.
Mino pursed her lips and said hesitantly: "Emperor Xiao Guo, the dragon body is the most important."
After silence, he continued: "You can come to all the concubines in the harem. This princess is willing to take the pulse for her and help you with your help."
"..." Emperor Xiao was stunned.
Then he smiled miserably: "Thank you, Princess."
Finally, he said: "God will do so, I... accept the punishment of heaven."
Mino: "…"
This is not a heavenly punishment?
It is clearly... Is the War King's conspiracy okay?
She sighed and comforted: "You are the emperor, how can you say that God's punishment?"
He paused and continued, "Besides, as the emperor of a country, these tens of millions of people are your children."
"!!!" Emperor Xiao was stunned when he heard this.
Then his pupils shrank slightly.
yes!
Wasn’t he the first to ascend the throne to the people to live and work in peace?
Once upon a time, he became more ambitious?
Oh, right!
Did it start with the third-third victory?
From then on, he forgot his original intention and allowed his sons to fight openly and secretly but turned a blind eye to it.
He believes that healthy competition will prompt them to grow better.
But I forgot that I almost died in the struggle for imperial power.
"I'm wrong." The emperor suddenly said.
"???" Mino looked confused.
Even Wei Chen couldn't help but be stunned.
Just when the two were shocked, Emperor Xiao suddenly said deeply: "Ghost Wood, follow me to the city gate."
Wei Chen was obviously stunned: "..."
I was a little puzzled by Emperor Xiao’s sudden decision.
"Your Majesty, you have just recovered from a serious illness, so don't work too hard."
Finally, he said: "I have arranged the Red Guards to deal with it, so you don't have to worry."
In fact, he had already made all preparations long before the bloody purge of the royal family.
It was all within his expectations that the third prince Xiao Yi would take this opportunity to rebel.
It can be said that he will definitely win this battle.
But he did not calculate it at all, but after the little cat fused with the soul of his previous life, he did not recover his memory.
In this way, the ruthless but principled little cat will inevitably stop him from subverting the entire Xiao Kingdom.
Helplessly, he had to stop when he saw the opportunity and remained silent for the time being.
Anyway, the descendants of the royal family have almost been destroyed, and even if the emperor wants to make a comeback, it will take at least twenty years.
Who knows what will happen in the past twenty years?
Mino didn't know what Wei Chen was thinking, and if he knew, he would definitely sneer.
The reason why she chose to let Xiao Guo go was not because she was ruthless.
But because...
She had already talked to Dad Ye, hoping that he would move to Wei State with his tribe to settle down.
But Dad Ye immediately expressed his objection and stated that he was from Xiao in life and death, and he would never be a 'traitor'.
In desperation, she had to make plans again.
As long as your family is safe, everything is fine, isn’t it?
So Mino echoed lightly: "Emperor Xiao Guo, Lord Guimu is right. Your top priority now is to regulate your body. Leave other things to others. There is no need to do everything yourself to damage the dragon body."
Her voice was light and she sounded a little happy, and she seemed to be in a good mood.
Moreover, his tone was calm and gentle, as if the third prince was now at the city, and it was just a joke.
"..." Emperor Xiao.
He didn't understand, what was this little girl happy about?
Could it be that they think that the Xiao State is now suffering from internal and external troubles, so the Wei State has an opportunity to take advantage of it?
Thinking of this, Emperor Xiao suddenly felt a sense of depression.
Although he has no son, is he still a grandson?
It was a dream that Wei State wanted to annex Xiao State!
Emperor Xiao looked up at Guimu, hesitated for a while and said, "That's it, thank you Captain Ghost."
When Wei Chen heard this, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "The emperor is serious, and it is the duty of his subordinates to share the worries for the emperor."
Emperor Xiao glanced at Gui Mu deeply, with a deep look in his eyes that was incomprehensible.
In a moment, he nodded and said, "You all go down! I am exhausted."
Wei Chen's eyes flashed slightly: "I'm leaving."
Mino also said with a little bliss, "Take care of the king of Xiao."
After saying that, the two turned around and walked out of the hall.
Emperor Xiao looked at the backs of the two men in thought, thinking...
Chapter completed!
