In the splendid golden-walled hall, the atmosphere was so dull that one could hardly breathe. Everyone lowered their heads tremblingly, listening to the bad news one after another from the officers and soldiers who reported the news.
"What? Li Guo's 300,000 troops are pressing down on the border?"
Xuanyuan Xu frowned, looking down at the officers and soldiers who were covered in dust and rushed back to report the news, with shock on their faces.
The Li Kingdom and the Xia Kingdom have always been on good terms, so how could they use all the strength of the country to deal with the Xia Kingdom without any warning? This is too strange.
"Not only that, Zhao's 100,000 troops are also ready to attack Luo City in the near future."
The officers and soldiers below were sweating coldly as they presented another piece of bad news, which made Xuanyuan Xu's face turn completely dark.
"I understand, please step back."
Xuanyuan Xu waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers who reported the news immediately saluted and retreated, not daring to waste a second.
"Prince, do you have any good strategies for defending against enemies?"
He did not ask the ministers below, but looked directly at Xuanyuan Rui. At this time, only the Xia Kingdom's God of War was the most reliable.
"Father, Li and Zhao have nothing to fear. As long as I give you three hundred thousand troops, I will definitely make Li and Zhao surrender. However, at this juncture, if I lead the army, I'm afraid
The Sixth Emperor’s brother’s side…”
Xuanyuan Rui did not pay attention to Zhao and Li. Those two small countries could not shake the foundation of their Xia Kingdom. However, Xuanyuan Qi had already made it clear that he wanted to change the Xia Kingdom. He must not act casually at this time.
After leaving the Imperial City, Zhao Guo and Li Guo couldn't get enough of the Snow Mountain Villa and Ghost Domain.
"I don't believe he can rebel."
A look of disdain appeared on Xuanyuan Xu's face. This month, his sixth son claimed to be ill and did not go to court. He felt much better without having to see him.
"Father, there is something I haven't reported to you yet. Recently, the Sixth Emperor's brother has transferred everyone from the Snow Mountain Villa and the Ghost Domain. I'm afraid there will be changes."
Xuanyuan Rui's words were very serious. Now he has slowly begun to accept the government affairs of the Xia Kingdom, so there are some things that he did not report immediately in order not to worry his father.
"What? Does that traitor still want to rebel?"
Xuanyuan Xu couldn't calm down at this moment, with a furious look on his face. It was disgusting that the son he least wanted to see wanted to change the palace when the Xia Kingdom was facing enemies from the inside.
"Father, we must be on guard against this matter. The forces of Snow Mountain Villa have spread all over the four countries. If the ghost domain is added, I am not 100% sure that I can deal with it. I think that the Li Kingdom and the Zhao Kingdom suddenly
Will sending troops have anything to do with the Sixth Emperor's brother?"
There are so many things in this world that are so coincidental. The insecurity between Li and Zhao was always instigated by someone. But he could still figure it out in Zhao, after all, the prince of Zhao died in the palace of Xia.
But the Li Kingdom has been blessed by the Xia Kingdom these years, and now it's the same song that's being sung like this.
"Damn it, Rui'er, you immediately lead the troops and tie up Xuanyuan Qi. I'll see if he dares to openly resist the order."
Xuanyuan Xu's eyes were red, and he slapped the table hard. He couldn't calm down when he encountered the traitor, and he didn't know why.
"Your Majesty, you must not do it. Today's Sixth Prince is no longer what he used to be. If he is taken down without any reason, even if the Sixth Prince does not resist, the Sixth Princess will not be easy to offend. If she is offended,
She, I'm afraid she doesn't even care about the emperor's life."
General Murong walked out, and the situation is now becoming more and more complicated. If the emperor touches the Sixth Prince now, it will definitely trigger a counterattack from the Snow Mountain Villa and the Ghost Domain. By then, there will be no room for relaxation.
"General Murong, according to what you say, am I going to give up the Xia Kingdom to that traitor?"
Xuanyuan Xu's tone rose a lot, and it was obvious that the anger in his heart had not subsided. But he still listened to what he just said. He knew that it was true. Even if Xuanyuan Qi cared about their father-son relationship, Su Huan
He couldn't help but shudder. Thinking of the king of snakes on her wrist, he couldn't help but shudder.
"How about your Majesty inviting Prime Minister Su to the palace as a guest?"
The kingdom of Xia cannot be ceded to the Sixth Prince, and he still hopes to rely on the crown prince to achieve success. As long as Su Tai is in their hands, Su Huan'er may have scruples.
"Okay, pass on my decree and bring Su Tai into the palace, saying that I have something important to discuss with you."
Xuanyuan Xu's face looked a little better. Having a chess piece in his hand was better than having nothing at all.
"Not only that, Your Majesty, we can also join forces with the State of Zhou to destroy the State of Zhao and the State of Li and divide the world equally. As long as the State of Zhou agrees to send troops, I am willing to personally lead the troops to meet the enemy."
After all, he is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time. General Murong's words were agreed by most people. The prince must not leave the imperial city, and all the troops of the Xia Kingdom cannot be used to deal with Zhao Guo and Li. As for Zhou Guo, their princess
If you are already married to the third prince, you are the best country to ally with.
"Ruier, what do you think?"
Xuanyuan Xu thought this was a good idea, but in order to establish the prince's prestige, he still gave the final decision to his son.
"Father, General Murong's proposal is very good. I immediately summoned the Zhao envoy to discuss the alliance between the two countries."
Xuanyuan Rui nodded. This was the only way to do it now. Otherwise, let alone his position as the crown prince, he might not even be able to keep the Xia Kingdom.
"Okay, that's it."
Xuanyuan Xu regained his composure, looked at his third son aside, and spoke with a slight warning.
"Guang'er, I don't care how you treated Princess Zhou in the past. You heard what I said just now, so during this period, you'd better be nice to Princess Zhou, so as not to spoil things."
"Yes, Father."
Xuanyuan Guang was already covered in cold sweat, remembering the disdain and harsh criticism he had towards the Zhou princess after getting married... However, for the sake of Xia Kingdom, he was willing to endure it for a while. Isn't it just to be nice to her, so he gritted his teeth and went through with it.
"Rui'er, after Su Tai enters the palace and you reach an agreement with the State of Zhou, you immediately arrest him and Qin Qiuyu for the grave crime of Xuanyuan Qi harboring Qin Qiuyu, the daughter of the guilty minister."
This reason should be enough. This time, he will definitely deal with the sixth son who does not want to live or die. He dares not even think about the country of Xia. There is no door. As for Su Huan'er, he will definitely not let her have an easy time.
Xuanyuan Rui remembered what happened a few days ago and Xuanyuan Qi's defense of Qin Qiuyu, and a sneer appeared on his lips.
"Yes, Father."
This time, he must eradicate the roots without showing any mercy. Without Xuanyuan Qi, Huan'er will accept him sooner or later.
