famous eldest daughter

Chapter 1168 The ultimate conspiracy
Xiao Yu smiled softly, "Master Tao, do you think this king's answer is satisfactory?"

After being stunned for a moment, Tao Ye suddenly came to his senses. With eyes full of respect and scorching eyes, he said, "His Highness is really hiding his secrets. Everyone in the court, including the Emperor, may not know that His Highness has such a strategy."

"Since Mr. Tao and the Commander of the Forbidden Army have discovered it, I would like to ask you both to hide it for me." Xiao Yu said with a smile on his lips, his expression calmed down, and he said seriously.

Tao Ye stared at Xiao Yu, puzzled, "Your Highness is wise and wise, which is a blessing to all the people in the world and a blessing to the courtiers. Why doesn't Your Highness see people with his true nature?"

The commander of the Forbidden Army stared at Xiao Yu blankly. A flash of light flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered something Gu Zhen said many years ago.

At that time, he thought that Gu Zhen was just joking and didn't care, but now he suddenly thought of it, and he was stunned.

What a great Gu Zhen!
"I cannot tell you my reasons at this time. Master Tao will naturally know about it when the time comes. I wonder if Master Tao can hide it for me?" Xiao Yu looked at Tao Ye sincerely.

Tao Ye was silent for a moment, then clasped his fists and saluted, "Your Highness, don't worry. As long as Your Highness is wise and decisive and considers the interests of the common people, I will never give up on Your Highness's affairs."

Xiao Yu's eyes flashed with a look that Tao Ye couldn't notice, and he smiled and said: "Master Tao is serious, I don't need you to die, as long as you keep your mouth shut."

After saying this, Xiao Yu turned to look at the commander of the Forbidden Army, "Where is your lord?"

The commander of the imperial army hurriedly restrained all the emotions in his heart and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely keep my mouth shut!"

Tao Ye and the commander of the imperial army are both smart and perceptive people. In front of them, Xiao Yu only needs to show his true skills. The two of them will think about the personnel changes in the palace in recent years, especially the two consecutive defeats in the past six months. For the prince and the third prince, all the previous doubts will suddenly come to light.

Revealing his true level in front of them was just so that he could be less constrained by ministers in handling government affairs before giving up the throne to Xiao Yan.

When a mediocre, incompetent, uneducated prince becomes the crown prince and ascends to the throne, the ministers in the court will always question his decision-making in every possible way, even if it is a unique and good decision!

Without mentioning this matter, the topic returned to the matter of King Nan'an at hand.

Previously, Tao Ye and the commander of the Forbidden Army, together with Gu Yuqing, had decided to send envoys to South Vietnam and Liaodong, but it was still difficult to decide who to send.

The person who went must have a distinguished status to be able to suppress the royal families of South Vietnam and Liaodong and make them feel the sincerity of our court.

But we can't make a big show of it. After all, we are dividing the country and giving it to other people. If we can cover up this kind of thing, we still have to cover it up.

What's more, it can't arouse the vigilance of King Nan'an.

This choice is getting more and more difficult.

"Does Your Highness have a suitable envoy candidate?" Tao Ye's eyes were full of sorrow.

Xiao Yu, on the other hand, was calm and composed, "What do you two think of the eldest son of the Prince of Pingxi and the young general of the Gusu family of Qibei?"

Everyone knows that the young general of the Gusu family in Qibei was adopted by the emperor from the prince Xiao Ke.

It goes without saying that the status is noble.

As for the eldest son of Pingxi Palace, although he is mediocre, he is still of noble status.

Moreover, neither of these two people would attract the attention of King Nan'an.

But... can they take on such a big responsibility?
Tao Ye couldn't help but hesitate and turned to look at the commander of the Forbidden Army. The commander of the Forbidden Army knew Xiao Ke far better than Tao Ye. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Let these two go as your Highness said. However, I think it’s better to send secret guards to protect you secretly.”

Xiao Yu smiled, "That's natural! It's up to you to decide on this candidate."

The commander of the imperial army immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order.

The commander of the Forbidden Army was not only in charge of the Imperial Army, but also in charge of the secret guard system around the emperor. All of these secret guards had special skills and were very covert. Even Xiao Yu could not touch them at all.

It's just right to send them to protect you secretly.

Since the commander of the imperial army said this, although Tao Ye was still uneasy, he suppressed it and brought up another topic, "There was a fire in the backyard of King Nan'an, and Nanyue and Liaodong did not cooperate with him. This time when King Nan'an entered the capital, it can be said that he had to endure hardships. He will fight back vigorously, but he will not give up easily and give up."

"What's more, he also knows that if he raises his troops to rebel and usurp the throne, even if he appeals for mercy, he will not get mercy and will only die."

"With no help from foreign enemies and unwilling to give up, King Nan'an had no choice but to rely on his own elite private soldiers to force the palace into submission."

Tao Ye had a solemn look on his face, but Xiao Yu smiled calmly, "What we are waiting for is for him to force the palace. If he doesn't force the palace, how will I withdraw from the vassal state!"

Tao Ye was stunned, "Withdraw the feudal clan?"

The establishment of the vassal king in this dynasty follows the old laws of the previous dynasty. On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with this old law. The succession of the vassal king by the royal family will not threaten the imperial throne in the capital, but also help defend the vassal territory. But in fact, it has many disadvantages.

These shortcomings have been mentioned many times by the DPRK and Chinese ministers.

It's just that the old routine needs to be changed, but it involves too much, so it's been put off again and again.

At this time, Xiao Yu mentioned that after Tao Ye was shocked, he suddenly realized and was filled with joy, "The King of Nan'an rebelled, and although the other vassal kings did not participate, His Highness was able to use this as an excuse to withdraw from the vassal. Even those vassal kings I can only blame King Nan'an if I blame him. After all, it is no small matter to seek to usurp the throne, and His Highness's decision to withdraw from the vassal vassal is only reasonable after the disaster."

Following the words, Tao Ye's mind couldn't help but agitated, and a bright light bloomed on his face, "So, this is a blessing in disguise!"

The commander of the imperial army said: "Your Highness is already confident about quelling the rebellion of King Nan'an?"

When Tao Ye heard this, the joyful expression on his face paused slightly and he looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu smiled calmly and said: "It's hard to say that I'm confident, but nine times out of ten I can still do it!"

The commander of the Forbidden Army and Tao Ye suddenly...

How blind they are usually, they actually look down on these four highnesses so much.

Tao Ye couldn't help but be eager to give it a try, just waiting for that day to come, "Your Highness, do you really want to give them the fiefdom of King Nan'an?"

This is a loss of power and an insult to the country!He didn't believe that if the Fourth Highness was really wise, he could really do such a thing.

After Tao Ye finished speaking, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "So I'm going to send Gu Suke there!"

Tao Ye......

The commander of the Forbidden Army couldn't help but clapped his hands as soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, "Gusu Ke is in charge of all the soldiers in Gusu. He and the Prince of Pingxi Palace went to South Vietnam and Liaodong. With one step forward, the soldiers in the north of Qi can be defeated by the other." Rush to the border secretly, and once things calm down in the palace, they can immediately counterattack."

The more the commander of the forbidden army said, the brighter the light in his eyes!
"Your Highness, what a plan!" Under the excitement, his voice couldn't help trembling.

The head chamberlain stood by the door, feeling relieved. This move of his was considered the right one!
