"Report, Guan Ning's army has entered Lanzhou!"

"Report, Guan Ning has arrived in Ninggu area."

"Report, Guan Ning has arrived in Jiaocheng, and the local citizens lined the streets to welcome him into the city."

"There is a saying widely circulated in Lanzhou: to welcome King Ning, but not to accept food."

Frequent memorial reports are delivered every day.

Gao Lian looked at the military map placed in front of the table, and his face became increasingly ugly.

Guan Ning's army is getting closer and closer to Beijing, and they will arrive in a few days!

"Bang!"

He clenched his fist and slammed it on the table.

Damn it!

Damn it!

Gao Lian couldn't help but curse secretly!

He wanted to move south, but even if he could leave now, he couldn't because there was simply no time.

And he can't leave either.

The whole city is closed and no one is allowed to enter or exit.

Shangjing City has entered a state of war readiness, and no one can leave, not even him.

He was badly cheated by Xiao Zheng.

It was precisely because he could not hold his temper and was eager to reveal his purpose that he was feared by His Majesty, which also caused him to lose trust.

At the most critical moment, power was taken away.

In terms of government affairs, his tenure was short-lived and restricted, but at least he still had military power.

Xue Huairen's background was in the civil service, and he could not take away military power. But with Yang Su here, the problem in this regard was solved.

With his military and political powers deprived of him, he was almost sidelined and spent every day studying with the prince.

In this period, this is a very dangerous thing.

Without rights, they are easily given up.

Now I don’t know how many people in the court want to hand him over to Guan Ning...

He wants to move south because Guan Ning will definitely not spare him.

Every day he was on tenterhooks, fearing that he would be attacked when he went to the capital.

Can you hold it?

It can hold ten days and a half month, it can hold three months and five months, but what can it do?

Xue Huairen was an idealist. He thought that by issuing an announcement, someone would come to visit the king.

There would have been some hope.

But there is none.

Because Your Majesty is really unpopular, the incident of killing a virgin girl spread like wildfire, and I don’t know how many people were scolding me behind the scenes.

Even after he found out, he felt it was outrageous.

Gao Lian has never dared to say that in fact, as long as His Majesty abdicates, all problems will be solved, and at least the people's hearts and minds will be restored.

But it's too late now!

You can't walk away, you can't escape.

The military and political power are all in Xue Huairen's hands, what can he do?

Gao Lian was very unwilling.

The key is that he lost His Majesty's trust and was crushed to death by Xue Huairen.

He is living a very difficult life now, and it may not be long before he is handed over by His Majesty.

If you want to change the situation, there is only one way...

"Bang!"

Just as I was thinking about it, the door of the house was pushed open directly.

Gao Lian put away his thoughts, and there was only one person who came in directly without knocking on the door, and that was Prince Xiao Zheng.

"Teacher, you must have felt restrained. If this continues, it won't be long before Guan Ning is needed to break through Shangjing, and we ourselves won't be able to survive!"

Xiao Zheng looked at Gao Lian with a calm tone.

"Teacher, we can't sit still and wait for death any longer!"

"What do you want to do?"

Gao Lian knew that although the prince was young, he had many thoughts.

"My father has recently abandoned me and started to use my eldest brother more seriously."

Xiao Zheng said: "He must be using this as an excuse to beat me, but I don't want to bear it anymore!"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Gao Lian looked at Xiao Zheng's childish face, but he spoke with gritted teeth, which felt inconsistent no matter how he looked at it.

"I want to rebel!"

"rebel?"

Gao Lian's pupils shrank.

"Your Majesty may not live long, and you will inherit the throne sooner or later."

No matter what he did, he never had such thoughts.

It is enough for the vassal king to rebel, but his son will also rebel.

Your Majesty, this emperor has really failed.

Gao Lian couldn't help but think in his heart.

Rebellion and patricide.

Although this prince is young, he is a ruthless man.

"I can't wait."

Xiao Zheng said: "Father listened to Xue Huairen's words and intended to hold on to Shangjing, but how can Shangjing be able to hold on?"

"I don't want to be the crown prince of a subjugated country, and teacher, you don't want to be handed over either."

"What do you mean?"

"As long as my father dies now, I can inherit the throne, but in the process, I am afraid there will be chaos, and I need your support."

Gao Lian obviously also had an intention. He stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's health has been getting worse in recent years, but he will not die in the next few days, so..."

"Master Xuanxin, who is beside my father, has secretly surrendered to me. He can add medicine to the elixirs my father takes..."

"you……"

Gao Lian looked at Xiao Zheng with a surprised expression.

He never expected that Xiao Zheng had such skills, let alone that he was so vicious!

"In that case, what worries do you have?"

"I... don't have any worries anymore."

Gao Lian took a deep breath and agreed.

"Then we can do this..."

Xiao Zheng stepped forward and the two began to plot.

at the same time.

In Xue Mansion, Xue Fang is pestering her father.

"Does Grandpa really want to go to Beijing to resist Guan Ning?"

Xue Fang's pretty face was filled with worry.

On one side is the lover, on the other side is the family.

She was in a dilemma.

The Xue family has risen again, even more than before, but she is not happy.

"Dad, I want to ask you something. How far have you and Guan Ning developed?"

Xue Qing asked calmly: "You must tell the truth..."
