Chapter 19 Chapter 019 The Conspiracy Continues

Ying Luo is concentrating on reading "A Tale of the Tale" and he feels like he is on the scene, with all kinds of war scenes appearing in his mind, but he is like a fierce general, commanding the enemy on the battlefield;

"My son, Your Majesty declares you to go there."

Dong Changshi came in, he bowed to Ying Luo...

Ying Luo was intoxicated by the scenes of the war, and he turned a deaf ear to Dong Changshi's words;
"My son, Your Majesty declares you to go there."

Dong Changshi raised his voice and said,
"Oh, Dong Changshi, what does father want from me?"

Ying Luo seemed to wake up from a dream, he looked up at Dong Changshi;
"Returning to the son, the slave is just passing on the news. As for why the king passed on the son, the slave does not know." Dong Changshi replied with a bow.

"Then Dong Changshi will lead the way."

After Ying Luo finished speaking, he put the book away, tidied up the table, stood up and walked out with Dong Changshi;

Dong Changshi led Ying Luo to the living room of Prince Dan's mansion,

Ying Zhen is sitting in the master's seat of the living room, and a guest is sitting in the guest's seat,
The guest has thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a wide forehead with odd bones, a very tall nose, thick and round earlobes, a very wide chin under a mustache, and bright eyes like an eagle shining fiercely. He is powerful, mighty, domineering, and rich. Very comparable to others, must be a powerful and status figure;

"Luo'er is here, I've seen your Uncle Zhao soon."

Ying Zhen saw Ying Luo coming over and smiled at him.

Ying Luo took a look, it turned out to be his father's brother Zhao Qingyu,
My father has three sworn brothers, my father is the second eldest, the eldest is Xiao Zhongming, King of Xing, and the third is Zhao Qingyu, King of Wan;
"Luo Er met Uncle Zhao."

Ying Luo quickly walked over and bowed to Zhao Qingyu...

"Haha, I haven't seen you for more than a year, and my nephew has grown a lot taller. I heard that my nephew was sick in the past two years and I couldn't visit him in time. I hope my second brother will forgive me!"

King Wan Zhao Qingyu looked at Ying Luo, then turned to Ying Zhen and said.

'Uncle Zhao's voice is as loud as a tiger or a wolf, and his eyes are like a torch. He is not an ordinary person. '

Standing by the side, Ying Luo listened to Zhao Qingyu's talk, and had a new understanding of Zhao Qingyu, which was the expression of his gradual maturity.

"Your brother, I have said it before. This time, my brother fought against the country of Ji. In a short period of time, he won the country of Ji and quelled the rebellion. This move is beyond the reach of ordinary people!" Ying Zhen said with a smile.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's love, how can I not go all out? Thinking back, the three of us fought against the world, pacified the Kyushu, and finally achieved the stability of the world today. Unexpectedly, King Ji suddenly had a different heart. It makes people feel heartbroken Ah!" Zhao Qingyu said.

"King Ji is content with the status quo, and he doesn't seem to be an ambitious person. This rebellion is really beyond Brother Yu's expectations."

In fact, Ying Zhen felt that King Ji's rebellion was strange, but he still didn't say it directly.

"That's right! The Kingdom of Ji is not very powerful in the first place, and its military strength is average. I also think that King Ji's move is against common sense. But the evidence is convincing. It's so intriguing. Who is the King of the Empire in a big state like Nuo Da?" I don’t want it, but there are some people who don’t estimate their own strength.”

Even though Zhao Qingyu knew what Yingzhen was expressing and the answer in his heart, he didn't express it directly.

"King Ji is so courageous that he dared to send assassins into the palace to assassinate the king; he knew that all the guards around the king were selected from thousands of people, and everyone was skilled in martial arts. How could the assassins he sent succeed? Are you throwing yourself into the trap?" Ying Zhen said.

"It's taboo for an assassin to enter the palace to assassinate the king, but the result can be imagined. Naturally, the assassin failed." Zhao Qingyu shook his head and said;

"I heard that when those assassins were arrested, they all committed suicide by taking poison. This assassin is very courageous." Ying Zhen praised;
"Before the assassins committed suicide by taking poison, they knelt down in the direction of Ji Guo, and shouted 'Your Majesty, I apologize with death'. Isn't this clearly referring to Wang Quan'an?" Zhao Qingyu looked at Ying Zhen and said;
"But there are Xun Kingdom and Zhao Kingdom in the same direction as Ji Kingdom. Why does the king think that it must be Ji Kingdom?" Yingzhen asked suspiciously;
"The guards found the token of the king of Ji Kingdom from the assassin. The king was furious. He wanted to call Wang Quan'an back to Beijing to ask for clarification. Unexpectedly, the envoy was scolded by Wang Quan'an in Ji Kingdom, and he was scolded by him before he left the border of Ji Kingdom. They sent someone to kill him, and the murderer even cursed at the king." Zhao Qingyu said.

"There is something suspicious here."

"What doubt?" Zhao Qingyu asked;
"Since Wang Quan'an wanted to kill the envoys, why didn't he wait until they were about to leave the border of the Kingdom of Ji before they left the palace? And why did Liao Changshi go back?"

"The reason for this is unknown. But the crime of assassinating the king and intercepting the envoys is directed at Wang Quan'an." Zhao Qingyu said lightly;
"I didn't expect such things to happen not long after Kyushu was pacified. It's really distressing to talk about."

Ying Zhen sighed.

"Well, these are also the endings I don't want to see."

Zhao Qingyu also sighed.

"Brother Yu should have thought about it, brother Yu thinks that the matter of assassinating the king is even more suspicious." Ying Zhen said;
"Oh, what does the second brother think about this?"

"Since you are an assassin, why do you have to carry a token on your body? In this way, if the assassination fails, you must leave evidence and cause trouble for your upper body. This is counterintuitive." Ying Zhen looked at Zhao Qingyu and said.

"Brother Yu also thought about this, but there is no other evidence to prove that the assassin was not sent by Wang Quanan."

When Zhao Qingyu heard that Yingzhen questioned again, he argued.

"Brother, I heard that those killers are all specially trained dead men. Such people are definitely not something that Wang Quan'an can control." Ying Zhen said after a moment of thought.

"Not long after the unification of Kyushu, Xu Kingdom unified the world and became the king of Kyushu. The king was worried that someone would want to seize his country, so he hurriedly implemented the reform system, abolished the system of enfeoffing princes, and established an empire of authoritarianism and centralized power. To consolidate his own country, the third brother, I still think that the reform of the system is still too early. What do you think, the second brother?" Zhao Qingyu said.

"Brother Yu also thinks it's too early. Since the king unified Kyushu, his temperament has changed a lot, he is cruel and ruthless, and he is full of suspicion. He has been worried that these heroes who have made great achievements will take his country; he also wants to weaken or deprive everyone. power."

"But all the princes are generals with great military exploits, and their status and prestige are still very high. The reform has violated everyone's interests, and it must have aroused their dissatisfaction and opposition." Zhao Qingyu said;

"Well, the reform must be sacrificed, but I don't know who will be the victim; this reform has greatly violated the interests of the princes. It will definitely be opposed by the princes and some ministers in the court." Ying Zhen said;
"Not only the princes and kings, but also the ministers in the court." Zhao Qingyu said;

"Well, Mr. Fan is also quite prestigious in the court, and he is also a loyal person, but this time he is inevitably guilty, and he is still in prison." Ying Zhen said with a sigh;
"Second brother, third brother, I respect your upright character; but third brother has to criticize you, you should intercede for Master Fan in front of the king."

"A loyal minister like Mr. Fan can't survive the disaster. Doesn't it make all the ministers feel chilling?" Ying Zhen sighed;
"Second brother, you also know what the king has become now. He will no longer be the same as before. You can take our suggestions. Now he has become a dictator, and the things he decides will generally not be changed. And what you said, He must be unhappy that the king almost couldn't step down." Zhao Qingyu said.

"Brother Yu thinks that I have done nothing wrong. I also want to make Xu Country a long-term peace and stability. We are all loyal to the king and have no regrets in our hearts." Ying Zhen said.

"It's not what it used to be. Back then, the king was still a king in war. He had to take everyone's opinions, and he had to give rewards based on merit. Now the king is the king who rules the world. The world is his. People's desires are endless. In the past His desire is to win the world and become the king of the world, now that he has won the world and become the king of the world, what else can suppress his desire to do whatever he wants, what people fear most is that their hearts will swell." Zhao Qingyu said .

"The king represents the co-lord of the world and is the nominal leader of the world. Although the king is the supreme ruler, he still needs to gain everyone's opinions to achieve long-term peace and stability." Ying Zhen said;
"As soon as Kyushu is unified, the Kyushu created by everyone's joint efforts will forever become their Jin family's. In order to consolidate his world and eliminate dissidents, we heroes will start to live in fear. "

Zhao Qingyu vented his emotions resentfully;
"Your Majesty's behavior, as subjects, we dare not comment on it, but after the Kyushu was pacified, the Xu Kingdom managed the world, and he also wanted to work hard; he wanted to abolish the system of enfeoffing princes, and he wanted to create a centrally-centralized Xu Kingdom. Minister, we cannot oppose him, but we have to support him." Ying Zhen said.

"Xuguo, the sun is rising, I'm worried that it will fall before it rises." Zhao Qingyu said bitterly;

"Hush, the third brother dare not speak nonsense to the outside world."

Ying Zhen hurriedly stopped Zhao Qingyu from saying...
