He leaned his back against the trunk of the tree, kept pouring wine, the smell of wine was surging, and a line of tears appeared in the corners of his eyes, all the acquaintances of the year were dead, and only the person he should have died was still alive to suffer.
The desolate laughter revealed unspeakable bitterness, threw the empty wine jug aside, and wiped the wine stains from his lips, "Your brother can be a lord of the city in a peaceful and prosperous era, and at the moment he is no match for Xiao Yue, the Marquis of Jingbei, and Xiao Yang, and even he can't even compare to his daughter-in-law Zhao Xiu'er."
Tell me what kind of eyes you used to see him as an heir."
He categorically didn't expect that the first person to discover his identity turned out to be Queen Zhao And Empress Zhao didn't talk about threats, only about cooperation, which forced him to hide the private relationship between Zhao Xiuer and Gu Yan.
His laughter gradually showed a little lightness, as if he was laughing at the green Emperor Chu on the top of his head, not mentioning that Gu Yan was Xiao Yang's father-in-law, and he was like a son to King An Le, and he was happy to see Emperor Chu's jokes in his heart.
Since he promised Yingzong not to hurt his closest relatives, he can't forget what Emperor Chu did to the people of the first emperor after he ascended the throne, and tore a good country apart.
Obviously, the person who can only be the prince sits on the dragon chair, but the person who should be the emperor has bright eyes, staggered up, and patted the dust off his body, "There are talents from all generations, each leading the way for hundreds of years, the era of you and me is over, it depends on how Xiao Yang chooses, I don't know who wins and who loses between him and Zhao Xiu'er." ” In the end, he was a little lonely, he rubbed his eyes gently, he thought that Xiao Yang would become the one who dominated the world, but he didn't expect to suddenly kill Zhao Xiu'er, a woman was thoughtful and rich in means, if she wholeheartedly assisted Emperor Chu, Emperor Chu may not have the capital to fight with Xiao Yang, but unfortunately this woman is extremely smart and ambitious.
On the hillside full of wildflowers stood a nameless tomb, with no tombstones, no spirit flags, and almost nothing except a grave bag, like the grave of a lonely ghost.
Xiao Ye looked up at the tomb, slowly turned around and walked back.
The dead soldiers of the Xiao family who were guarding the periphery followed him quietly, and after drinking enough wine, he naturally wanted to have fun in time, the major affairs of the court, the disputes of the Xiao family, he was unwilling to care, and he couldn't manage it.
He still owes Xiao Lao Er a favor, and saved Xiao Yue when Xiao Yue's life was in danger.
Favor debts are the most difficult to repay, and in the next life, he will never owe any more favor debts, and would rather be divided by Yingzong's five horses that day than be calculated by Yingzong again.
How could he be so naïve to think that Yingzong was a good person In the imperial study, Emperor Chu summoned the Marquis of Jingbei alone, and after meeting with the Empress Dowager Ji, when Emperor Chu entered the imperial study, his brows wrinkled slightly, Xiao Yue sat in the imperial study generously, pretending to be cautious and respectful, but in fact he tasted tea very casually, and looked at the layout of the imperial study.
Emperor Chu found that the folds on the bookcase had been moved, and Xiao Yue had actually seen these folds that came up, and he deliberately looked through the folds that only the emperor could move in the imperial study, which was to warn him Xiao Yue's gaze at the vessel made Emperor Chu wonder if he was thinking about when he could replace him Conspired with Xiao Yue to calculate Xiao Yang, did he do something wrong Xiao Yang is cold and arrogant and dustless, and he can't be respectful to Emperor Chu, but Emperor Chu vaguely understands that Xiao Yang doesn't care about his things, and he won't do anything to rebel when he is alive.
Xiao Yang should remember the oath made by the Xiao family's ancestors better than Xiao Yue.
It's just that Xiao Yue took the initiative to seek cooperation with him, and he was really hurt by Xiao Yang, who didn't get in the oil and salt, thinking that maybe the Xiao family would be disrupted by taking this opportunity, so he agreed to Xiao Yue's request, in order to show his determination to cooperate, Xiao Yue also helped Emperor Chu stabilize the palace, and there were also two or three people in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who were loyal to Emperor Chu.
"Your Majesty."
Xiao Yue's sloppy salute really couldn't hide the contempt in his eyes, he thought that Emperor Chu had been the emperor for all these years, and he always had a bit of hole cards, but today in the Jinluan Palace, he was forced to lose face by Xiao Ye, and his awe of Emperor Chu suddenly fell to the minimum, and he regretted cooperating with the incompetent Emperor Chu.
Emperor Chu clenched his fists and smiled on his face, "Let the Marquis of Jingbei wait for a long time, the queen mother loves King Anle the most, and when I heard that he was about to choose a concubine, I pulled me to say a few more words." ” "It doesn't matter."
Xiao Yue waved his hand casually, sat back on the chair, took a sip of tea, and said, "I don't know if Your Majesty called the ministers over, but everything is ready."
Emperor Chu was silent for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Let's not talk about this matter for the time being, the Marquis of Jingbei can know the true identity of Xiao Ye."
Xiao Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, "He is the elder of my Xiao family." ” "I happened to notice that he was a little familiar, so I wanted to ask the Hou Ye if he had ever appeared next to the imperial brother."
Emperor Chu stared at Xiao Yue, unable to see any clues from his handsome and stiff face, and smiled: "It's because I'm too careful, I always think that if he is the emperor's brother's person, he will definitely know some secret things." ” "Your Majesty is indeed overhearted, my Xiao family already knows a lot about the affairs of the first emperor."
Xiao Yue is free and casual, and he is often frustrated by his uncle, but in front of Emperor Chu and outsiders, no one can make Xiao Yue soften.
"The queen mother urges me to canonize the crown prince as soon as possible, what about the Marquis of Jingbei?"
"Canonized Prince" Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment, understanding that this was Emperor Chu's response to King Anle's marriage, and said with a smile: "As long as the courtiers don't object, the courtiers naturally have no opinion." ” It doesn't matter to him at all whether he is a prince or not, and multiple princes can still stop his ambitions There is not only the power of the Xiao family in the court, Xiao Yue directly stated his attitude, the Xiao family will stand by and watch the matter of the prince, and Emperor Chu has the ability to make the courtiers agree, so he will register the prince.
Emperor Chu was a little frustrated, and he didn't have a chance to talk about the conditions with the Xiao family, and said in a low voice: "Jingbei Hou, what should be arranged, I have already arranged it according to the arrangement discussed in advance, and I am worried that King Yan will not be soft easily." ” "Your Majesty only needs to do what the minister asks, and the rest will be handled by the minister."
Xiao Yue's eyebrows showed a little confidence, although his words were not polite, which made Emperor Chu a little discouraged, but he still had more confidence in victory, after all, Xiao Yue had been planning for so long, and even his own daughter was willing to marry a eunuch, how could he fail after paying so much effort and price.
Emperor Chu said: "I am waiting for Xiao Qing's good news. ” "The minister retired."
Xiao Yue got up and left.
Emperor Chu held the teacup for a long time, and suddenly threw it to the ground like a vent, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, "Rebel, rebel" In the carriage back to the Hou Mansion, Gu Mingnuan leaned on Xiao Yang's shoulder, interlocked his fingers with him, and said in a low voice: "I estimate that they are going to do it." ” Xiao Yang pinched her fingertips and hummed softly, a trace of interest flashed in her clear eyes, "Don't you think that the capital city with a pool of stagnant water is very boring, and strength is respected." ” He has always been a sword that is unsheathed, and when it is unsheathed, it will be earth-shattering:
