Prime Minister take care

Chapter 290
The divine capital, Lianghou Mansion.

There are rows of spiritual places, and incense is curling up.

Huan Wu stood in the mourning hall of the Marquis of Liang Mansion, with the elders of the Huan family and several of his sons behind him.

There were many descendants of the Huan family, but Huan Wu felt lonely.Today, three more spiritual tablets were added to the mourning hall, all of which were lost in Yang's hands.

Huan Biao, Huan Bin, Huan Youji!

They are all close relatives of Huan Wu and the elites of the Huan family.What's more important is that with Huan Bin's presence in the past, their names had been decided early. Huan Wu's sons were secretly dissatisfied and did not dare to take any unnecessary actions.

But now, Huan Wu lost the heir he had cultivated since childhood, and his sons were all ready to make a move.Whether it was Huan Qing or Huan Jue, in just a few months, they were no longer the docile people they used to be. They seemed to have grown up overnight.

They began to win over courtiers, began to reject dissidents, began to cultivate cronies, and began to fight openly and secretly.

In order to deal with Wu and Chu, Huan Wu has been watching these things coldly for the past few months, and his eyes have become confused.With the defeat of Wu and Chu, Huan Wu regained control of the military and government, and this battle for succession changed from an open one to a secret one.

At this time, around the Central Plains, the area controlled by Huan Wu gradually became peaceful.Mo Du has died, the Lord of Wu has lost his life, the Marquis of Chu has lost half his life, and the new demon emperor in the Demon Realm has begun to show his talents, but he has not yet matured.

The Huan clan's most serious enemy, Liang's life-or-death enemy, was Shu. This has never changed from beginning to end.However, after the failure of the last attack on Shu, Huan Wu no longer had the power to attack Shu.

Maybe it will take ten years for Shengju to be able to destroy Shu again.But Huan Wu also knew that he didn't have that much time anymore.

After the sacrifice, Huan Wu slowly turned around.After returning from Shu Kingdom, his appearance changed a lot in just a few months.

His originally black hair was mixed with silver threads, and his body was much more stooped than straight. His face was like that of an old farmer, but only those eyes were still hot and radiating.

Huan Wu became old, but he did not become weak because of it.On the contrary, at this time he was more powerful and more terrifying than before.

Because Huan Wu has understood one thing, he will no longer be able to unify the world in a short time.

Both Huan Qing and Huan Jui discovered that Huan Wu was different.His eyes gradually became colder, especially when he looked at them, as if he were looking at strangers.

No!Even facing strangers, it is impossible to look at them like this, as if they are enemies.

But they are all Huan Wu’s sons!
At this moment, both Huan Qing and Huan Jue felt an inexplicable chill in their hearts.

"Huan Yi stays, everyone else should go out!"

"Yes!"

Everyone left, the door of the mourning hall was slowly closed, and the light in the room became dim.

"Lord!"

Huan Yi held up his hands and waited for Huan Wu's words.

"You know the rumors outside!"

"Since my lord fell ill, there have been many rumors outside. I wonder which one my lord is talking about?"

"You are a smart man. You naturally know what I want to ask." Huan Wu took two steps forward and pulled Huan Yi's hand up. "There are rumors outside that since Zhou Nan's defeat, I have planned to depose the emperor. Usurping the throne and establishing oneself.”

Huan Yi did know what Huan Wu wanted to ask, and also knew his purpose of keeping him here.But Huan Yi still didn't expect that he would eventually have to face this problem head-on.

With the defeat of Liang Jun and the serious loss of elite combat power, the Huan family's control over the seven states of the Central Plains is declining to a minimum level.

It is precisely because of this that Huan is no longer as calm as before.The first thing to bear the brunt is the conflict between the Huan family and the nominal master of the world, Emperor Zhou, which has developed into an undercurrent and will explode in the most violent way one day.

Huan Yi has always been the mediator between the Huan family and the Xia family. "My Lord, I heard that because of the disappearance of the King of Shu, the Kingdom of Shu is currently in turmoil. The Xia family is a great banner, both for my Lord and Yang Xian."

Huan Wu nodded with a smile on his face.

"I understand what you mean. But sometimes, it's not that others are willing to believe it if I don't do it."

"Lord."

"Have you heard about what happened in Wu State?"

Huan Wu suddenly changed the topic to the Kingdom of Wu, which was thousands of miles away, leaving Huan Yi a little stunned.

"My lord, are you talking about Hou Tao handing over all fifteen warships of the Wu Kingdom to the Shu Kingdom?"

Huan Wu smiled, a little angry.

"I made a lot of plans and spent a lot of time to solve the Wu and Chu thieves and make them safe. But in the end, it was Yang Xian'er who got the advantage."

"Yang Xian lost a lot of money because of Xiao Hui, my lord, don't worry."

Huan Wu understood what Huan Yi meant.Wu Chu had just been defeated, which was when he was weak.Liang Jun was unable to break through the water defense lines of Wu and Chu, but this was not a problem at all for Yang Xian.

If Yang Xian is willing to make up his mind, he will use the excuse of the disappearance of the king of Shu to secretly manipulate and rule the roost on his own.Then he led his army to the east, attacked Wu and Chu, and divided the world with Daliang.In Huan Yi's view, this is not impossible at all.

"When I was planning to seduce Cai Tong and Hou Shen, I also thought about this possibility. But in fact, Yang Xian is much more cunning and has a much bigger appetite than I imagined."

"What does my lord mean?"

"If Yang Xian swallows Wu Chu, he will definitely hurt himself. He will be able to pacify Wu Chu in a short period of time, appease the place, and resist our pressure. In the most ideal situation, he can only divide the world with us. After that, The two sides are fighting back and forth. But he has not done so now, obviously he is not satisfied with this, and wants to destroy my country of Liang."

"My lord, what do you mean Yang Xian is aiming at Yongzhou?"

"If Yongzhou is lost, all the gods will be in danger, and our country, Daliang, is in danger of subjugation. Rather than dividing the world with us, Yang Xian would rather choose to swallow us."

Huan Wu's long words echoed in the empty mourning hall, giving Huan Yi a layer of goosebumps.

"Would Yang Xian really do this?"

Huan Yi didn't understand that with the strength of Liang's army, he had to travel thousands of miles to attack Shu, but he also suffered a disastrous defeat.When Yang Xian wanted to conquer the Central Plains, he encountered the same difficulties as Liang Jun, but the national strength of Shu State was far weaker than that of Liang State.

Even the army of the Shu Kingdom can be invincible, but if there is no logistical supply, how can it be possible to fight for a long time and achieve strategic goals.

"What the Yang family lacks most is this kind of lunatic." Huan Wu smiled coldly, with dissatisfaction and anger in his smile. "Three demons on the edge of Yongzhou have been wiped out. Yang Xian has already regarded Yongzhou as his bag. Something is wrong. Sooner or later, Yongzhou will be in chaos. Before that, I need you to do one thing."

"Please instruct my lord."

"Those cubs in the Wu Kingdom are not creatures in the pond. They are unusually united. Every time the Wu army moves north along the Huai River and advances into Xuzhou, we are caught off guard. Therefore, I want to build a city in Luyang County to suppress Wu Jun. This matter is of great importance, I hope you go with Zheng Da."

"I understand!"

Huan Yi's expression remained as usual, but his heart felt cold.Huanwu sent him away, fearing that he was going to build the city.

Is it true that Huan Wu really wants to usurp the throne and stand on his own as rumored by the outside world?
