Chu Tianjiao's guess was not wrong. He Lanxuan had always regarded this younger brother Helanji as his biggest enemy since he was a child.
The late emperor also saw this when he was still alive. He did not want his sons to kill each other. He had already seen that his third son, Helan Ji, had no interest in the throne, so he made him a king when he was fifteen years old, and made Helanxuan the crown prince. When he died,
He also sealed the northwest of Helanji's territory and asked him to leave the capital far away.
Both the late emperor and the old empress could see that He Lanji was not the one who wanted to be the emperor and had no choice but to do so, but He Lanxuan, who was now the emperor, did not think so.
Especially last year, after Helanji led his cavalry to defeat the people from the northwest grasslands, his prestige increased greatly, which made the emperor feel jealous and uneasy.
This younger brother is very powerful in terms of strength, prestige, military strength, and financial resources. After the defeat of the prairie people last year, he, the emperor, did not even have anything suitable to reward him. Such a situation made Helanxuan unavoidable.
A sense of stability.
As the saying goes, meritorious officials are more important than masters. As the emperor, it is natural for He Lanxuan to have a suspicion towards He Lanji.
Therefore, he previously issued an imperial edict to give He Lanji a marriage gift to the Chu family, and also used the "vine of eternal life" that had been kept in the palace and was unknown to the outside world as a wedding gift. He just wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife and get rid of this person who made him
My brother who can't sleep.
He chose the Chu family, firstly because of the Vine of Eternal Life, and secondly because this family had already declined, and He Lanxuan was not worried about any threat they would pose to him.
Although the Vine of Eternal Life is only a wood-type treasure, because the five elements are mutually reinforcing and interfering with each other, it can also be very helpful in the practice of other mystical arts. As soon as this news came out, it naturally made countless people in the world tremble.
Of course, he also knew that Helan Ji was very powerful and would not die so easily, so he joined forces with the Lan family, who are now very powerful, in order to use Helan Ji to deal with the injuries or strength of the treasure hunters along the way.
After being damaged, get rid of this serious trouble in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that things didn't go as expected.
In the end, not only did He Lanji not get rid of him, but he even found a good helper for him. How could He Lanxuan not be angry!
He Lan Ji, He Lan Ji, is there really nothing he can do against this younger brother?!
