His Majesty the Emperor looked at the calm woman in front of him and recalled the first time they met. At that time, he was still His Royal Highness of the Kingdom of Jin and lived the life of an idle prince in Chang'an City. By chance, he met Li Chengzhen, the fugitive prince of Xixia.

They had known each other since a young age and had a rare friendship with this descendant of the Murong family.

Because of this, Yang Kang did not imprison Murong Yan like a prisoner in the past three years. Instead, he gave her great preferential treatment and personal privileges. This is also one of the reasons why Murong Yan was able to escape. Now that Murong Yan came alone, she must have

It is fully prepared.

"What do you want me to do?" Yang Kang asked straight to the point.

"Your Majesty, I just want your Majesty to rescue His Majesty the Prince and help His Majesty regain the Xixia Kingdom." Murong Yan requested.

This request was expected by Yang Kang. Li Chengzhen and Murong Yan had worked hard for many years just for the Xixia Kingdom. To put it nicely, it was for the country and the nation, but in reality it was just for the imperial power. Any passionate and glorious slogans would tear away the veil of hypocrisy.

All that's left in the end is a naked entanglement of interests.

As an emperor, no one understands the feeling of having great power better than Yang Kang. The desire to kill and seize other people's lives, and the satisfaction of being superior make Yang Kang sometimes lose himself. Only through constant introspection can he suppress the feelings in his heart.

**.

There are really too many temptations faced by an emperor. There are often lecherous and cruel tyrants in history, or they may be wise when they are young, but become fatuous when they are old. This depends on whether they can resist the influence of the outside world.

**, people's hearts are not enough, selfish desires are overwhelming, how difficult it is to restrain them.

"He is already the emperor of Xixia Kingdom. How do you know that he wants to change the status quo?" Yang Kang asked rhetorically.

"The so-called emperor is just a puppet manipulated by others." Murong Yan said sadly, "His Royal Highness has great ambitions and his heart is as high as the sky. This approach is just a temporary measure. Once he is out of trouble, he will be able to regain his strength, not to mention if Xixia

If the restoration of the country is successful, Mongolia can be rejected from the north, which will be of great benefit to the Jin and Song countries without any harm. Please think twice, your majesty."

"Can you guarantee that restoration of the country is the final condition?" Yang Kang asked forcefully, "What if he continues to threaten me with this matter? What if he still wants the Song and Jin countries?"

"His Royal Highness is a man who knows how to repay his kindness." Murong Yan assured, "Your Majesty has the Song and Jin countries in his hands and defeated Mongolia. The Xixia Kingdom will only become your Majesty's loyal ally and will never dare to infringe on your Majesty's interests."

His Majesty the Emperor was very dissatisfied with this. Murong Yan had brains and courage and was a rare talent, but he did not understand a man's ambition. Yang Kang believed that once Li Chengzhen got out of trouble or regained the Xixia Kingdom, he would use his identity to demand more.

interests.

Comparing oneself with others, if Yang Kang was in Li Chengzhen's position, he would do the same thing. This is the human heart. If you want to completely eliminate this threat, you must eradicate Li Chengzhen.

"It would be great if you surrendered to me." His Majesty the Emperor said with emotion.

"A loyal minister has nothing to do with the two masters. This little lady has made up her mind. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Murong Yan said firmly.

In the past three years, Yang Kang has been trying to win over Murong Yan, but unfortunately he has not succeeded. It seems that the relationship between Murong Yan and Li Chengzhen is not just a simple relationship between monarch and minister, but also an affair between a man and a woman. This is where His Majesty the Emperor is beyond his power. He considers himself an idol.

Although he is very popular, he cannot make all women fall in love with him.

After agreeing on the terms, Yang Kang began to understand the entire incident.

Murong Yan accidentally discovered Li Mochou and Qiu Qianchi when she was escaping. She had met the Princess of Xixia Kingdom with Li Chengzhen outside the ancient tomb in Zhongnan Mountain. Li Mochou and Qiu Qianchi were not as sexy as Murong Yan.

, they are locked in a tightly guarded cell, with chains on their hands and feet, and are real prisoners.

Murong Yan used his disguised identity to sneak attack the guarding imperial army, opened the cage and released the two men. The three of them broke out together. Then Qiu Qianchi said goodbye and left. Murong Yan and Li Mochou evaded pursuit in Lin'an City until Yang Kang let them go.

They left Lin'an City after they stopped chasing.

After leaving the city, Murong Yan knew that the two of them might be able to rescue Li Chengzhen, but there was no way to regain the Xixia Kingdom. The person who could really help them was the emperor, so she ventured back to Lin'an City to see Yang Kang, and Li Mo

Chou rushed to Xixia Kingdom with the secret of Yang Kang's identity.

His Majesty the Emperor pondered. The Xixia Kingdom was in his plan. Lou Shidao and the Mingjiao dynasty were gradually infiltrating Xixia and the entire Western Region. Perhaps it was time to drive the Mongols out of Xixia, but even if Xixia was really restored,

, I’m afraid it won’t be Li Chengzhen’s turn to be emperor.

He looked at Murong Yan and showed a gentle smile.

When Yang Kang was plotting against Li Chengzhen, someone was also plotting against him. On the bank of Dongqian Lake, Shi Miyuan, the former Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, listened to the information provided by this man who called himself Mr. Heartless. This man had an unknown origin, a mysterious identity, and wore a bamboo hat.

If you can't see his true appearance, you can conclude that he is a member of the Jianghu.

The strong smell of drugs on Mr. Jueqing's body showed that he was seriously injured, but even so, he still injured several guards at the Shi family's old residence. As the patriarch of the Shi family, the guards around Shi Miyuan were of high status, including military attachés.

,

There are heroes in the world, but these people are vulnerable to Mr. Jueqing. This is the gap between the quasi-peerless masters and the second-rate masters. Only then did Shi Miyuan meet Mr. Jueqing and listen to Mr. Jueqing’s so-called big secret.

.

Emperor Wan Yankang of the Kingdom of Jin faked his death and disguised himself as Lu Zhanyuan, the owner of Lujiazhuang, in order to control the martial arts in the Central Plains.

The Prime Minister didn't pay much attention when he first heard about it. What he cared about were court affairs. The level of martial arts was too low. The only thing that caught his attention was that Wan Yankang was still alive.

The one who assassinated Temujin, the Jin emperor.

This is the Prime Minister's general impression of Yang Kang. In Shi Miyuan's view, it is outrageous for an emperor to carry out an assassination. The emperor should sit in the court, strategize, and leave the rest to his ministers.

This Emperor of the Jin Kingdom really did not do his job properly. After killing Temujin in Mongolia, he came to the Song Kingdom to cause trouble, but Lu Zhanyuan...

It seems that I have heard this name somewhere. The Prime Minister thought about it carefully and thought of an interesting story. The current Holy Emperor raped a common girl by the West Lake and was beaten up by a man in the world. He also took with him the then Hanlin Academy bachelor.

Xie Yili was seriously injured. He was still the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty at that time. When he heard about this incident, he felt that His Majesty was really fooling around.

If Lu Zhanyuan was Wan Yankang, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, then the farce by the West Lake might not be that simple. Shi Miyuan frowned and thought deeply. Wan Yankang took the opportunity to get close to His Majesty the Emperor. Naturally, he had his own purpose. Combined with the fact that he later

The downfall of the Empress Dowager and the unexpected death of the Empress Dowager, an idea appeared in his mind.

Perhaps the current Saint has been controlled by Wanyankang!

His downfall can be said to have a direct relationship with the Kingdom of Jin. It is said that His Majesty the Emperor loved Mu Zhaorong who broke into the palace. This woman was most likely a spy sent by the Kingdom of Jin to confuse His Majesty the Emperor. This explains

Why did His Majesty the Emperor form an alliance with the Kingdom of Jin? Why did His Majesty the Emperor not go to the morning court and let Queen Xie listen to the affairs behind the curtain? This shows that His Majesty the Emperor is likely to be bewitched and controlled by others. So what role does the Xie family play in this?

Shi Miyuan seemed to have seen a huge conspiracy hanging over the Song Dynasty. This conspiracy changed the situation of the entire world. He was just a pawn in this conspiracy. The Prime Minister was unwilling to accept it. He wanted to find out this conspiracy and expose it.

, this is the key to whether he can re-enter the political stage of Song Dynasty.
