Chapter Five Hundred and Ninetieth: The Counterattack Begins
Spring of the twenty-first year.
Zhao Changqing continued to stay in the Shunfeng'er clan, hoping to gain the clan leader's trust and bring the granddaughter-in-law he had chosen back to Luoyang for Yuan'er to see.
Of course, if you really want to leave the Shiwanda Mountain with Hongdou, you can't leave the mountain for this reason.
Otherwise, according to the temper of the old patriarch, he would rather die than let his daughter come out of the mountain.
For old stubborns like them, the outside world is hell.
It is far less peaceful and peaceful than in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
In the past few years, people from the Three-Eyed Tribe have emerged.
But in the end, it ended up in death.
It is said that he was accidentally killed by the imperial court.
At that time, it was the year that Zhao Hongqing issued the order to kill demons.
They didn't catch up with the good times.
After it was later confirmed that he was a member of the Three-Eyed Clan, Emperor Taizong personally issued an edict and gave many benefits to the Three-Eyed Clan.
And he even wrote a letter to apologize personally.
Mainly because, before he unified the world, the Wei Dynasty had established a good friendship with the Three-Eyed Clan, which allowed the Three-Eyed Clan to dare to go out to the outside world.
But I never imagined that this would be the result.
As a result, many ethnic groups are afraid to go out.
The leader of the Three-Eyed Clan was helpless about this kind of thing. Although the investigation revealed that it was manslaughter, the clan member was still dead after all.
This is a loss that cannot be replaced no matter how many benefits are given.
Fortunately, after this incident, the relationship between Wei and the Three-Eyed Clan did not deteriorate to a certain extent.
But these aliens just feel that there are killings and killings outside all day long, and even if they are not ordered to kill by the co-owner, there are still some bad guys.
Over time, no one from the Inhuman race dared to leave the Hundred Thousand Mountains anymore.
This year, several major events happened in Kyushu.
The first is that Zhao Yuan wants to personally conquer and seize power.
But he was rejected by Xiao Xuanwu.
It is said that he does not know how to handle government affairs yet and needs help.
The world's literati think it's natural.
After all, if someone like Zhuge Dan is crowned a king with a different surname, how wise can he be?
Some people even say that after the two wise emperors, Supreme Emperor and Taizong, came to power one after another and took charge of the world, the fate of the Zhao royal family came to an end.
Even if an emperor appears again later, he will be a fatuous king.
Of course, such words cannot be said on the stage.
Lord of heaven and earth, master of the family, this is an ironclad rule, no one dares to refute it.
There is one more big thing.
That is, after Zhao Yuan failed to take charge, he simply gave all his power to Xiao Xuanwu.
Except for the fact that the Imperial Seal is still on his body, he is like an empty emperor.
But Zhao Yuan was no longer in a hurry and was quietly waiting for the opportunity.
until one day.
After Zhao Yuan designed and tricked Xiao Xuanwu's son Xiao Huaiyu, the final plan really began.
The reason is this: Xiao Huaiyu fell in love with a woman who was the beloved whom Zhao Yuan had just sealed.
In fact, she was just an object used by Zhao Yuan.
Use her to lure Xiao Huaiyu into the trap.
Late one night, Zhao Yuan and several noble disciples held a banquet and drank in the palace. Then they pretended to be drunk and left early.
The woman he had just named as his beloved began to seduce Xiao Huaiyu.
Then this woman pretended to be bullied by Xiao Huaiyu, which naturally failed in the end.
At the critical moment, Zhao Yuan, who had sobered up, led the palace guards and detained Xiao Huaiyu.
He was given the label of a promiscuous harem.
When Xiao Xuanwu learned about this, he was shocked and hurriedly came to the palace to meet the Holy Emperor.
Unexpectedly, the first thing he said when he saw Zhao Yuan was this: "Your Majesty, my son was just drunk and immoral, and it did not lead to a big mistake. I still hope that your Majesty can be accommodating for the sake of my son's young age."
For the sake of his child, let him go home!"
It is rare in ancient times for a minister to be so aggressive towards the emperor.
Moreover, it was obvious that the Xiao family had done something wrong, but after meeting the emperor, he did not know his mistake and did not even kneel down.
So rampant.
In the end, Xiao Xuanwu was blinded by his unprecedented power.
"Prime Minister, your good son has been promiscuous in the harem and almost slept with my woman. You want me not to hold him accountable for his fault?" Zhao Yuan asked coldly.
Xiao Xuanwu was calm and said slowly: "Your Majesty, you are serious. It was just a drunken dog's behavior. Why should your Majesty be so grudged?"
He has indeed expanded.
Zhao Yuan gritted his teeth and finally let Xiao Huaiyu go.
He's just a junior from the Xiao family, and he can't even look at her.
What he wants to do is to bring down the entire Xiao family.
"The people in the Demon Hunting Department will spread the news to the world as quickly as possible about what Xiao Huaiyu did today. I want the people of the world to take a good look at it. The Xiao family has given birth to an amazing son!" Xiao Xuanwu led his son away.
Later, Zhao Yuan gave instructions to a heavenly being hidden in the dark.
as expected.
Within a few days, the news had spread throughout Kyushu.
This scandal in the Xiao family cannot be washed away.
Moreover, the reason why the emperor did not punish Xiao Huaiyu was because of Prime Minister Xiao's aggressiveness.
Once this news spreads, it will be enough to trigger an earthquake.
After Xiao Xuanwu learned about this matter, he didn't care too much.
After all, the emperor had forgiven this matter, and he also found so many beautiful women to enter the palace the next day. He just wanted to find a good man, no different from a maid, so nothing big would happen.
Not a few days later.
Another news came from the world.
It is said that several high-ranking officials related to Xiao Xuanwu are all corrupt officials.
This incident once again plunged Xiao Xuanwu into a storm of public opinion.
This isn't the end yet.
Zhao Yuan also asked a certain Qingliu in the court to write an article and spread it to the world.
The title of the article roughly means this: Is the famous prime minister Xiao Xuanwu a loyal minister or a tyrant?
Of course, after writing this article, Minister Qingliu was imprisoned by Emperor Zhao Yuan for defamation.
He also sent a heavenly master to secretly lurk in the Jinyi Guard Prison to protect him.
Currently, among all the organizations in the imperial court, only Jin Yiwei has not been affected by Xiao Xuanwu.
It was all because the commander of the Jin Yiwei made Yue Mu serve the imperial power wholeheartedly.
Previously, a minister of the court, under the instruction of Xiao Xuanwu, deliberately framed Yue Mu, but was stopped by Zhao Changlin.
The words of this old prince who have experienced hundreds of battles are still very effective.
Of course, the main thing was that Zhao Yuan asked him for help.
Otherwise, the old prince, who is deaf to what is happening outside the window, would not fall into party strife.
The entry of this article into the WTO caused huge waves among the people, like a huge storm.
At this time, Xiao Xuanwu suddenly realized that the events that had happened recently were definitely not coincidences.
At this time, his counterattack has been completed, because public opinion has been aroused.
They don't care whether this matter is true or not, they just think it's good to talk about it after dinner.
Under the subtle influence, many people feel that Xiao Xuanwu, a king with a different surname, is not that simple.
This was not the end yet. Zhao Yuan wrote a sentence that spread among the people:
"Xiao Xuanwu's heart is known to everyone on the road."
That's it.
Zhao Yuan did not say clearly what kind of heart it was.
Just let everyone in the world guess.
Chapter completed!
